Got Troubles? p. 4 Alumni Scholarships Given To Top Junior and Senior Awards of $100 were given by the Alumni Association to Gerald Col- vin and Miss Carolyn Sherwood for scholastic attainment. These were presented at the Honors Convoca- tion, May 5. Gerald Colvin, president of the Senior Class, has a grade point average of 2.86 for his four years of college, the highest in his class. His majors are English, history, and re- ligion. He attended Ozark Academy, and then finished two years of col- lege at Southwestern Junior College. After graduating, he will join the Ozark Academy faculty. Carolyn Sherwood, a junior and a graduate of Maplewood Academy, has a 3.00 grade point average. This represents A's for all of her college work. Carolyn's major is home econ- omics, her interest being in dietet- ics. Besides scholarships for high grades the Alumni Association has given $1100 and loaned $800 this year to worthy students. Student Affairs Committee Considers Proposed Change In Citizenship Class Rating A proposed change in citizenship class II is being presented to the Student Affairs Committee in an attempt to help the student with poor scholastic standings. The Student Staff Council feels that the present system of putting a student with a low g.p.a. into class II, and thus taking away certain privileges, mainly Saturday night social privileges, is not ac- complishing the desired effect. It was pointed out, too, that the pres- ent system punishes only the dat- ing student. The council appointed a sub-com- mittee composed of Mr. Richard Leffler, assistant professor of phys ics; Martie Beeler, junior Spanish major; and Ben Bandy, sophomore business administration major, to present the matter to the Student Affairs Committee. If approved the plan will then go to the faculty and if passed will become a part of the "Inside Story." The sub-committee is recom- mending that town, gym, and swimming nights be restricted, that home leaves, choir and band tours be limited, and that offices in major and minor social organiza- tions be prohibited. The plan is being formed to limit only those who are in class II for scholastic reasons, and not those in that class because of age limits. Hickman Gets Scholarship For Audubon Society Camp The Topeka Audubon Society has awarded Gary Hickman, sophomore biology major, a two-week scholar- ship to the national Audubon sum mer camp at Sarona, Wisconsin. The summer camp program is one phase of the society's activities Selected participants receive in- struction in natural history and engage in field trips during the two-week all-expenses-paid period. The National Audubon Society, established in 1905 and named in honor of the great American na turalist, John James Audubon, is dedicated to the preservation of our natural resources. 22 Nurses Will Receive Cops In Ceremony Tomorrow Night From Drilling for Oil to Digging for Grades: C. Smith Leaves Big Pay To Come to Union by Dick Stenbakken He gave up almost $10,000 a year to become a Seventh-day Adventist. You would never know by looking at this soft spoken freshman busi- ness major, that not long ago, he was an oil field man, but looks are deceiving sometimes. He spent five years as an oil man and driller. Life on the drilling rig is no picnic. It's hard work day in and day out. The job isn't a forty-hour- a-week job either. It is one of those seven-day-a-week grinds that never end until the whole job is done. That's the type of work Charles Smith started in 1954. He had to do something to make his own way. The folks weren't there any more. His mother had died three months before his high school graduation, his father earlier. Dangerous and Hard The pay is good when you work on the oil rigs. It should be because the work is as dangerous as it is hard. One day while Smith was work- ing on the "tower," the inch-thick drill line, with over 135,000 pounds tension on it, broke. In a fraction of a second the cable was hissing past faster than you could see it. If a man got in its way it could cut him in half before he knew what hit him. "After it happened," he said, "I knew we would have to string an- other line, so I started down to help. When I got to the bottom of the 'tower' I thought of what could have happened, and it took me fifteen minutes to get back enough strength to do anything." Other men have lost their lives when this happened and they were working where Charles was. Charles came out without a scratch. For some reason he had been standing in the only place where the cable's deadly lash could not reach him. READING NOT RIGGING—Smith pre- pares a paper at the library for an insistent professor. Better Than Falling Another time when he was work- ing seventy-five feet in the air Charles fell. By quick thinking and action to match he managed to grab a steel line after falling the first forty feet. The rest was simple the way Charles tells it. "I just hung on the rest of the way down. It burned the gloves off my hands, but it was better than falling all the way." Work on the oil rig goes on re gardless of time or weather. This one particular day things looked the same as any other with the exception of the forecast of better weather. Charles decided to take the new snow tires off his car. After all, there isn't much use in wearing them out on dry roads. After removing the tires he was off to work. Just like any other day. When the crew got to the rig, near Powder, Nebraska, it began to snow. Before the day was over there was a foot and a half of snow and wind up to forty miles per hour. There wasn't any thing to do but wait. The next day brought more snow, but the weather began to calm down. The following day, food was flown in by light plane. The men on the (Continued on page 3) Sophomore nurses will be capped in a special ceremony tomorrow evening at 8 in the College View Church with Sydney Allen, assist- ant professor in religion and evan- gelism, as speaker.

These regulations will be effective beginning June 5, 1961. All students who own or drive a motor vehicle are required to have their vehicles recorded at the Office of Student Affairs within one week of initial use. "Those vehicles to be parked on the campus at any time, and all those owned or operated by dormi- tory residents must be registered and designated fees paid. Staff members and non-student employ- ees bringing motor vehicles on the campus shall be also registered but no registration or deposit fee will be charged." A deposit of $5 will be charged to each student whose car shall be parked on the campus. "From this deposit a fee of $1 shall be charged each semester for registration. Traffic fine penalties of $1 each are chargeable to the deposit. If a registrant accumu- lates three fines he must at that time add $3 to his deposit or forfeit his driving privileges. At the close of the school year or at withdrawal from the college, any unused por- tion of the $5 deposit will be re- funded to the student or to his account with the college." All students shall be supplied with copies of all regulations and Dr. L. W. Welch, dean of student affairs, will explain these changes publicly. National Research Society Grants Rowland Membership Full membership in Sigma Xi, was granted to Neil W. Rowland, biology department head, at an in- itiation banquet May 9. Rowland's full membership is a result of the publishing of his master's thesis on plant ecology in 1952, and basic research toward his Ph.D. degree on "The effects of maleic hydrazide on the trans- piration of Phaseolus vulgaris L." Sigma Xi, a national society for promotion of research in the basic and applied sciences, has as its motto, "Companions in zealous re- search." Mr. Rowland has been an associate member of the society since the publication of his master's thesis. Approximately thirty received full membership at the meeting May 9. Jane Nowack's Oration Rates First by WCTU "Alcohol in Still Life" won first award of $35 and a free trip to San Francisco in August, for Jane No- wack last Monday night at Kearney State Teachers' College, Kearney, Nebraska. Sponsored by the WCTU, the In- ter-collegiate Oratorical Contest on Alcohol and Related problems, was a state-wide contest. Competing with Miss Nowack were contestants from KSTC and Norfolk Junior College. The national contest will be held in San Francisco August 4-8. Miss Nowack will compete there with other state winners. Nightingale oath, a pledge of un- selfish service to mankind. Nurses who receive caps this year will spend the next two years in training in the clinical division campus at Porter Sanitarium, Den- ver. There they will be joined by the seven student nurses from South- western Junior College in Keene, Texas. Following completion of their training there they will re- turn to the campus of Union College for graduation exercises. Nurses taking part in Friday evening's ceremony are Coleen Bie- ber, Linda Bobst, Sherrie Butherus, Nancy Cachero, Rosalie Gardner, Christa Gierth, Joyce Hagele, Judy Hagestrom.

Band Plans Concert In Outdoor Setting The Union College Symphonic Band will present a special Vesper service and concert at the Pine- wood Bowl in Pioneer Park next Saturday evening at 7:30. Conducting the 48 member band will be Melvin S. Hill, assistant po- fessor of music. The vesper music will be preceded by a talk by Elder M. W. Deming, pastor of the College View Church. The Concert will in part consist of: "Cowboy Rhapsody" by Gould, which is a treatment of several western songs, "Vienna Woods Waltz" by Strauss, and "Bells Across the Meadows" by Ketelby. Bill Baker, junior music major, will conduct the number by Ketelby, said Dr. Hill. "Three Solitaries" by Victor Her- bert will be performed by the con- cert trio accompanied by the band. Members of the trio are: Bill Baker, Bob Anderson, freshman music major, and Richard Benson, senior mathematics major. The "Band Man of the Year Award" will be given Saturday evening to the band member who has contributed most to the organ- ization during the year. All of the members vote by secret ballot in making their choice, Dr. Hill said. Practical Nursing Course Offered at Porter in Sept. A practical nursing course will begin next September at Porter Hospital in Denver, Colorado, says Miss Dorothy Martin, chairman of the department of nursing. Hiis one-year vocational training is not to replace the professional training, she states. No college credit will be given for the practical nurse's course.

V. George, in- structor in physical education. Along with the danger in the water, there is also the hazard of the slick floor. When water is on the smooth cement it, of course, becomes very slippery and one must be careful not to fall. When tag is played, care should be taken to look where the next foot will be placed. One of the very few accidents that has happened this year was when John Stutzman, sophomore academy student, knocked himself unconscious when he hit his head. Running while looking back, he slipped and fell. Mrs. George said the life guard, Park Keller, fresh- man chemistry major, "did a heroic deed in reviving him." " 'Horseplay' and carelessness are two main causes for accidents a- round water; consequently, a per- son cannot be careful enough while swimming," says Art Roth, junior biology major, who is water safety instructor for Red Cross at South East High, Lincoln. Roth re-emphasized that the main thing to remember is to keep calm and decide what needs to be done and how to do it in an emer- gency. "Safety first" should always be the swimmer's motto. Connie Hodson Gives Recital On Engel Hall Pipe Organ The first Union College senior pipe organ recital was given by Connie Hodson at 8 p.m. Sunday, May 14 in Engel Hall. Miss Hodson's program included "Taccata and Fugue in D minor," by Bach; "Flute Solo," by Arne "Chorale in A minor, No. 3," by Franck; "Supplication," by Purvis; and "Sixth Symphony," by Widor. The highlight of the program was a four-minute selection, "Alleluia," by Dubois. During the selection Connie was accompanied by a brass ensemble which she directed while simultan- eously playing the organ. The en- semble was composed of Bob An- derson, trumpet; Helmer Swenson, trumpet; Dick Hammond, trumpet; Leslie Reynolds, trombone; and Jerry Schack, baritone. Connie, who is presently teach- ing fifteen students, is interested in private tutoring. She says, "It's a thrill to see students advance and learn." She is also contemplating taking graduate work at the Uni- versity of Nebraska. ATTENTION STUDENTS EARN EXTRA During Summer Vacation Car Necessary Write G.

KAPPA TKETA Unveils Rees Hall May 7 For Cinderella In Fanlasyland" Open House Concluding the Rees Hall Open House program, presented in the auditorium the evening of May 7, Kappa Theta crowned Jane Nowack, a junior English major, as "Cinderella, May Sweetheart". Miss Nowack, who was chosen on the basis of charm, grace, and poise, was given a dozen red roses while Jerry Patton sang to her, "When You Wish Upon a Star." Grand prize for an attractive room was given to Beverly Moore and Judy Wolfe. Simplicity and har- mony were the factors the judges: Mrs. Ruth Higgins, associate pro- fessor of home economics; Mr. Ver- non Dunn, business manager; Mrs. Morna Firth, secretary to the bus- iness manager; Buddy Borris, pre- sident of Sigma Iota Kappa, and Bob Tan, a Sophomore music ma- jor; noticed in determining the prize winning rooms. Each dormitory parlor was made a fantasyland scene with Janet Quam as "Little Boy Blue," Becky Anderson, as "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary," and Marilyn Jennings as "Little Miss Muffet." Because the president of Kappa Theta, Betty Bell, was in bed with the mumps, Bernelda Johnson, v i c e-president coordinated the openhouse. Chairman of the decor- ating committee was Barbara Vir- gin, of the program committee was Donna Ray, of the food committee was Evie Johnson, and of the tour committee was Nancy Rupert. This "Cinderella" program, nar- rated by Geni Kube, brought out the open house theme, "Fantasy- land", in the castle backdrop.

The word used to des- cribe a deadly, destructive mass of air whirling at speeds to 500 m.p.h., capable of driving a straw through a ten-inch telephone pole. These freaks of nature each year are responsible for the loss of hun- dreds of lives and millions of dollars in property damage. What causes a tornado? Mr. George Lewis, Civil Defense Direc tor for Union College and authority on tornadic winds, says, "A low mass of warm Gulf air meets a cold mass from the North. Seeking naturally to rise, the warm air surges up through the first break in the cold air, causing the winds to whirl and quickly develop into a funnel cloud." Tornado Alley designates an area from Texas in the South, to Ne braska in the North, where tor- nadoes are highly probable from April 1 to July 1. Lincoln has had one severe weather warning this year. According to Lewis, there is no way to predict weather for a year but weather observation has now made it possible to predict a tor- nado up to half a day before time. In the last three years weather stations have been set up every five to ten miles along Tornado Alley, to study weather conditions. This accounts for a high percentage of accuracy in predictions. by Charles Griffin Eyes watched, hearts were moved, hands responded at the annual hanging of the golden cords, Friday night, May 5. A highlight for the traditional Alumni week end was the Friday evening meeting sponsored by the Foreign Mission Band. Sixteen-hun- dred eyes watched as golden cords were hung for the fifteen alumni who have entered the mission work in the past twelve months. Over 800 cords now represent alumni who have been missionaries. Elder Wayne Olson, ministerial secretary of the Middle East Divi- sion and a 1945 graduate of U. C., challenged the audience to build for eternity upon the foundation of Christ. Mrs. Dorothy Lockwood Ait- ken, a returned missionary, told the audience some of the sacrifices of ASB Benefits from Showing 'Third Man on the Mountain' "Third Man on the Mountain" was the movie shown at the As- sociated Student Body Benefit in the Union College Auditorium Sat- urday, May 13.

Smith Quit Oil When He Found Something Better (Continued from page 1) rig had had only what food they had taken for lunch the first day. "Things sure tasted good after two days with only a lunch," Charles commented. The work is as hazardous as it is hard, but the $700 to $900 per month made it worthwhile. Charles said the most he ever made was in one two-week period when the crew was on special repair work. They worked nine sixteen-hour days and had to drive fifty-five miles each way to get to and from the job. According to Charles, "It didn't leave much time for sleep." The pay? A cool $596 for the two weeks. $9600 or God? On one of his many travels with the oil crew he met a young lady in Colorado. Soon he began to attend church with her and before long he was taking Bible studies. About this time there was a chance to go back to the fields to work. He took the chance, but kept up the Bible studies. After thinking it over for some time Charles came to the conclusion that he would have to be either a seven-day-a-week oil man or a Seventh-day Adventist. He chose the latter. When asked if he ever thought about the good job and high pay since he made his choice to join the church, Charles Smith replied, "A job like that is hard to quit. The only way you can quit it is to find something better." sen 3. G. Glaser 4. B. Hills 3-legged race—1. S. Dahl and K. Olson, 2. B. Hills and Nelson, 3. J. Eskildsen and M.

The opening game on the main field saw the sophomores winning a 13-inning thriller from the seniors in a close pitcher's duel between Everett Schlisner and John Uhrig. From the 7th inning on it was tied 3-3 until the bottom of the 13th when the sophomores pushed over the winning run. The freshmen won their first game by handing the juniors a 7-2 licking. In the final game the soph- omores handily beat the freshmen 11-5, giving them a clean sweep for the day. Sophomores Take Track and Field Honors At School Picnic; Seniors Are (lose Second The sophomore class, closely challenged by the seniors, cap- tured first place in the track and field events held during the school picnic, May 9. The track events were held for the first time at the Southeast High track while the field events and the women's events were held in their customary place at Pioneers Park. The total points gathered by the sophomores were 62 y2, with the seniors close behind with 56V2, the freshmen with 40, and the juniors last with 13 points. The class of '61 was trying to make this their third straight year for victory but the sophomores had too much to offer. The seniors did have the most first places with seven but the sophomores with much more depth, gained more runnerup positions to maintain a short lead throughout the morn- ing's events. The seniors had seven men who captured 14 places while the sophomores had 13 entrants who gained 19 places. The individuals who dominated the men's events were Dan Duff, who had 17>/2 points for the soph- omores, Norman Gay, with 14y2 points for the seniors, and Bill Hanson, 13 3/4 points more for the seniors. Glenda Glaser dominated the women's events with 12 points for the freshmen. Below is a listing of the events with the first four places and their performances. MEN'S EVENTS— 100 yd. dash—1. D.

Street Floor / 4 CLOCK TOWER May 18, 1961 No Loafers at the Top Final tests are only two weeks away. Then the results of diligent study or lack of it, will be rewarded. The results of the tests, for some, will represent success. For others they will represent tragedy. They will represent time and money wisely spent, or foolishly wasted. The world today wants only those on top, only those who axe not content with second best. This place is reserved for those who are willing to give up the sometimes sacred stance of mediocrity. The number one position has never been reached by a country, church, or student who was not willing to work for it. If we expect to be the best as a country, as a church, or as a group of students, we must be willing to work. This is no time to be content with our past success, nor do we dare become discouraged by our past mistakes As students we face tests in two weeks. As a country we face tests in the ever-changing: temperature in the hot and cold war. As a church we face the tests every day. It's time for us to wake up and set to work. If we don't we will be left holding the bag. . . the empty! one. Laudromatitis The good coffee-house days of Ben Jonson are foreign to 20th century America, and sometimes it seems apparent that the art of speech and debate which they promoted, is also foreign to modern society. People don't know how to communicate to strangers, or else they are too indifferent to care. I propose a revival of the good old-fashioned custom of visiting. People get together often enough, and then just sit there and gaze around. For a prime example of the glassy stare, there is the haggard college student who takes a couple of hours on Friday afternoon to go to the laundromat. The average American is there; student, father, bachelor, housewife; all sitting contemplating space. They move to put another dime in the dryer, and then resume the glassy stare. Pretty soon they take the dried clothes home. A couple of hundred years from now, the people can look at this generation as a crowded society without motivation, that sees, hears, but does not speak except in its select clicks. Perhaps the laundromat patrons are too busily absorbed in the TV's offering on Thursday night. Leditors Zhe College View by Anna Streeter What is your opinion regarding Gala Festival, the musical program held the Saturday night of Alumni Week-End? Connie Schotanus— "I listened to only one number over the PA system in the dorm, but I heard the marimba solo and thought it was real nice. I think the program was beneficial, because it gave students the oppor- tunity to demonstrate musical ability which we might not otherwise hear." Danny Eads—"As a participant, I realize it took a lot of work, but it's one of the best programs we have had all year. We need more programs of the same nature." Esther Evanenko—"The reason I liked it was because it was a relaxing type of music. Another reason was because I realized that those who participated had a great deal of enthusiasm and had done much to make it a success." Yvonne Scott—"I think it was a type of musical program most people can enjoy whether they know anything about music or not. Personally, I always enjoy classical music, but this Gala Festival was something different and relaxing." Kent Hodson—"The Gala Festival was the outstanding musical program of the year. Never before have the top musical talent and various musical departments united to produce such a program. The presentation and music was the type that all could enjoy it. We w!ere all proud of the performance and such activities have a direct correlation with the school spirit . I agree with many others who think it should become an annual event." Ben Bandy—"Some of the music was very good, especially the instru- mental solo, Malaguena, by Sylvia Border. One or two numbers I didn't particularly care for. I thought some of the scenery was adequate, also. Basically, it was good. I'd like for them to continue." Donna Meyer—"Gala Festival was one of the most outstanding pro- grams of the year. I thought the music was uplifting and the patriotic theme that was brought out made it even more so. I do hope this pro- gram will become an annual affair " Miss Dickerson— "I always enjoy student productions that are well presented as this one was. It was most enjoyable and relaxing. I would enjoy having this type of program again." Editor-in-Chief H .h w
