"Our campus paper is the most biased and one-sided, die deadest, driest, and by far the most unstini- ulating publication I have ever read"—so concluded the Letter to the Editor of an Eastern college's campus publication. During any typical college term, most colleg- iate newspapers are in some way in the spotlight of such criticism. The 1965-66 CLOCK TOWER has been no exception. I think that most of us recognize such unqualified criticisms as dis- torted exaggerations and would be inclined to greatly discount their value due to their inaccuracy of fact and failure to give credit where credit is due. We must also recognize, however, that in spite of all these shortcomings, such feed- backs may be very accurate in- dicators of a growing student sen- timent of dissatisfaction. In view of this, a most relevant question evolves for Union College—"Is the CLOCK TOWER performing its func- tion as a college paper to the satis- faction of the students?" Before you answer that ques- tion. let's ask ourselves some more. Especially because it is the only campus paper, do students expect the CLOCK TOWER to give a more adequate expression to both sides of many two-sided issues? Do stu- dents expect a freer discussion of many current questions? Do stu- dents want more meaningful ex- changes of opinion on controversial campus topics? These questions deal essentially with our democratic ideal of the freedom of the press and with the problem of how to relate it to our campus situation. Today increasing emphasis is being given to the idea that there is a vital connection be- tween a free press and our basic freedom of speech. Many feel that in our mass-media oriented society of today, a free press is the neces- sary extension of the right of free speech. If freedom of speech is a neces- sary prerequisite to a free press, perhaps we should briefly scan this vital privilege. Freedom of speech involves the right to express views contrary to prevailing modes of thought; the right to express opin- ions in opposition to traditional by Joe ideas; and in general, die right of students and teachers to express and expound any of the many viewpoints which may be attached to anv current or controversial is- sue. We at Union College believe in this essential freedom of expres- sion. Or do we? As Aristophanes wrote the Greek- play Achamians, he portrayed the officials and rulers of the contem- porary society as demanding a rigid conformity of thought and expres- sion. But in order to partially rec- oncile their dictatorial demands with the prevailing democratic ideals, these same officials did al- low for a token and quite ironic "freedom of speech." Thus, the open and public expression of any ideas or opinions was permitted and even encouraged; however, this privilege could be exercised only as several guards held the speaker's head carefully in place on a block, making it easily acces- sible to the keenly edged sword which would effectively silence any "heresy" the moment it was voiced. It is easy for us to see that while this society theoretically allowed Foley for freedom of expression, their practical sanctions discouraged it. We must ever be watchful that a similar situation never comes into existence here at Union. Why? John Stuart Mill, in his book On Liberty, has given four classic rea- sons for freedom of expression and opinion: ) If we silence an opinion, for all we know, we may be silencing truth. 2) Even a wrong opinion may contain a grain of truth necessary for finding the whole truth. 3) Even if the commonly accept- ed opinion is die whole truth, the public tends to hold it not on ra- tional grounds but as a prejudice unless it is forced to defend it. J) Unless the commonly held opinion is contested from time to time it loses its vitality and its ef- fect on conduct and character. This essential freedom of expres- sion and opinion must be maintain- ed. But this right to verbal self-ex- pression is no longer enough. Equally important is the right of exploration of other peoples Music-The More Perfect Offering How many of us ever stop to think of music as a wondrous mag- ic link with Cod which takes the place of prayer when words have Led (tors failed us beneadi the weight of care—music that knows no country, race nor creed, but gives to each according to his need? The Church Versus Noise Silence Dear Editor: Song 1. Vesper Hymn (Back of hymnal) 1. All-parts 2. Ladies only 3. All-parts "College Vesper Hymn" Silence "Take 1" Singl Wouldn't it be neat if there was alwavs that much silence in the church! Larry Hallock No! Because of the reference to church membership reaction in the recent article, "Worship To- gether." I feel it only fair to ex- plain my conviction about couples in church. The sanctuary "is the audience chamber of the great eternal God" (GC. 543). "God is to be the sub- ject of thought, the object of wor- ship; and everything that attracts the mind from the solemn, sacred service is an offence to Him" (5T, 199). I do not mean to be unkind when I say that the conduct of some of the couple in other gath- erings leads one to conclude that their minds are "attracted." Must worshippers be forced into divert- ing surroundings? As a Union College alumnus, I was distressed to read in the col- umn reflecting editorial thought an open request contrary to adminis- trative ruling. The article had much in common with the insist- ent child's cry. "I can't see why;" and his usual ace, "Everybody's doing it." We have inspired guide- lines. As a Christian school why not "seek to them?" Obviously, what may bc accept- able in a small, controlled group must sometimes be denied where hundreds are involved. For this reason administrative decisions re- quire mature, experienced judg- ment. After all, rules and restrictions aren't so had. Every society and every job has them. One of the earlv slogans of this college was, "Where students learn to live." Each passing year makes one more keenly aware that pleasant, work- in;- adjustment to restrictions is part of the educational process. (Read FE. 63; CT. 100-102). Not infrequently Union College alumnae with children to he ed- ucated scrutinize their alma mater. They want to know if this college still holds high the real purpose for which it was established. With pressures from all sides this can be accomplished only by single-heart- ed consecration to this purpose and the grace of God. A church member Protest We wish to register a protest to the article recently appearing in the CLOCK TOWER on movies taken from the Sligonian. Why should we lower our principles? Perhaps we should raise them instead. The flimsy excuse given in the article that "Everybody does it so whv not legalize it" was the same that caused prohibition to be re- pealed. We realize the Devil is working overtime to cause as many of our youth to be lost as possible, but surely you. as editors, must realize the seriousness of printing such things in our paper. We cannot give our wonderful youth one ex- cuse for going down that wide path. After your excellent editorial on Sabbath School, this was in- deed a shock. May God bless you in your tre- mendous responsibilities. Sincerely. Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Conger Music is a verv special gift from God and should be used to glorify the one who gave it. Music is too often used as mere entertainment— as an apiatc to incite our carnal nature. Mrs. E. G. White says the angels use the gift of music to praise and honor God. She says not until she heard the angels sing dieir raptur- ous songs ascribing praise, honor and glory to Jesus, did she realize something of the wondrous love of the Son of God. Can we sing or play music the way it should be performed with the right spirit and with true understanding if we do not have the wondrous love of the Son of God in our hearts? Do we regard talent above character? Should we not use musicians who are dedicated to God and filled with His love? Since music is a gift from God a n d since music should glorify God. then all music so dedicated should be performed in a way wor- thy of the One it should honor. We live in a universe of order and perfection. God created all things and called it good. Yet to one who had heard the music of heaven, the harmonies of this earth sound- ed very harsh and discordant. "The music of heaven is melody, divine . . . all in perfect strains, sweet and harmonious. The music of heaven seemed to be so full of niercv, compassion, and elevating, holy joy." It thrilled her whoie being. We are missing one of the great- est thrills of our lives bv the care- less ways we perform our music. We are depriving the vast number of people, who come to hear music supposedly rendered to God. the "elevating, holy joy " by glorifying self instead of God. Regardless of how dedicated a Christian musician may be he can- not fully present his musical offer- ing to God unless he has perfected the talent God gave him. We need to spend more time training our voices, perfecting our skill on in- struments and studying die deeper meanings of melodies, harmony and rhythm that God may bc more perfectly seen in the harmonious sounds of the universe. Adequate time should he taken to learn the proper use of one's voice so that it may be under con- trol and have beauty, pathos and power. Wc should be able to use thoughts and ideas and the expres- sion of your own—through the printed page. Why? In our society and on our campus today, we do not experience much of the world of ideas and opinions first hand. There simply is not the opportunity for over 1000 people, going different places, involved in varied activities, to engage in wide- spread face-to-face discussions. In many respects we are, therefore, intellectually isolated in our own schedules and activities from much of the rest of Union College. Some- thing just bridges the gaps of iso- lation and makes available to all the significant insights and expres- sions of many. In addition to its coverage of news and entertain- ment, there is a growing sentiment that the Clock Tower can and must be the common ground and outlet through which Union College stu- dents may conduct many of their discussions and idea exchanges. Visualize our campus paper as an active partner in the search for insight and meaning; an actual marketplace for the exchange of ideas and opinions; a springboard and center of intellectual stimula- tion where truth is tested and cur- rent issues confronted. This is both the need we must recognize and the ideal we must approximate. our instruments to their full poten- tial. than an acceptable offering may ascend to God.

The president of the college persuaded the Ceneral Conference to sell its library to the college, and it arrived about a month after school began. At die end of ten years there were only two thousand books. These were housed in one classroom—the southeast room on third floor in the administration building. (Room 300). The librarian at that time received a salary of $50 a year. A laboratory was begun about the year 1905 when accreditation with the University of Nebras- ka was sought. Believe it or not, when Union College opened her doors the boys and girls lived in the same dormitory— South Hall. The girls occupied the first two floors and the boys the third and fourth stories. Not long after school opened a scan- dal arose which was viewed with grave concern by the faculty. Some boys were, by means of strings, lowering notes to special friends on lower floors. Believe it or not, in 1897 die General Con- ference session was held at Union College while school was in session. The enrollment was light and there was plenty of rooms to accommo- date the delegates. The gymnasium was used as a lobby, and the conference sessions were held in the chapel and the church. The students had the unique privilege of the General Conference coming to them and of hearing the president of N. Dick the General Conference and other top leaders frequently in the general meetings. Believe it or not, when Union College was built diere was not a single lavatory in a dorm- itory. In each room was a commode. On top sat a big china bowl and in it a large pitcher of china lo match. The student carried the pitcher to the bathroom and filled it in the evening before retir- ing. Next morning he poured water from the pitcher into the bowl for the morning ablutions. Waste water was poured into the slop jar which was kept in a lower compartment of the commode and carried to a mop sink in the bathroom at some time during the day. Believe it or not, the big cottonwood trees which form a line from the southwest comer of the administration building toward Forty-eighth Street are older than the administration building which was completed seventy-five years ago next autumn.

Various student officers from each of these colleges attended the conference, and heard the keynote address given Thursday morning by Dr. George Acres from Andrews University. Dr. Acres outlined effective stu- dent government as "statesman- ship, not monument-building." The conference was designed to estab- lish "patterns for change." "There are dirce types of stu- dent government," Dr. Acres said. Power politics, puppetry, and part- nership." The last type is the only really effective one."

Atlantic Union College, Columbia Union College, Southern Missionary College, Union College. Oakwood College, and Southwest- ern Union College sent approx- imately seventy people. The As-, sociated Student Body president, editor of die school paper, and ed- itor of the school annual were rep- resented from each school, along with others in positions of respon- sibility. One of the delegates to the workshop expressed his view of the convention in these words, "This is the most amazing work- shop I've ever attended." Another, however, was more critical of the meetings. She said, "The meetings have been helpful, but the pur- pose isn't defined enough to make them as helpful as they could be. They should be training these peo- ple for leadership instead of dis- cussing things diey want to be put through." The delegates arrived Wednes- day night and attended eidier gen- eral meetings or meetings in their specialties all day Thursday and Friday morning until noon. The majority of the guests stayed on campus until Sabbadi was over. COLLEGE LAUNDRY AND CLEANERS Efficient . . .

New Courses Announced in Curriculum Change The biology, religion. English, and nursing departments have all made changes in curriculum for the 1966-67 school year. General education requirements for the Bachelor of Science major have been standardized to require all majors to include twelve hours of social scicnces and twelve hours of natural science and mathemat- ics. Survey of biology and general zoology are being combined into one course, principles of biology, with lab. This will be the begin- ning for biology majors and min- ors'. English la, sometimes called "bonehead English." is being sub- stituted with a non-credit English A. which will precede English 1. The change was made to better help students prepare for Englsh 1, according to Mr. Verne Wehtje, chairman of the English depart- ment. Foundations of Nursing 1 will be replaced by a lower division trends in nursing 1. which will be taught on the Lincoln campus. A new upper division course, psy- chology of aging, will be intro- duced. A lower division life and teach- ings of Jesus will be introduced primarily for freshman ministerial students. The present upper divi- sion course will be renamed the gospels, according to Dr. C. M. Maxwell, now chairman of the re- ligion department. Students may not receive credit for both courses. MV society plans for next year under the direction of Jere Webb are beginning to form, committees are being organized, and ideas are developing. Mike Burton, director of the sun- shine bands, is starting three new programs. Burton wants to see fac- ulty and church members partic- ipating with students in the bands. Dan Goddard and Wally Fox will be leading out in a band going to the penitentiary. The present war- den suggested that the band could meet on Saturday morning. The band will be meeting every other week during the second church service. Burton also plans to start a story hour somewhere in town. Union for Christ, directed by Sam Woods, will be in charge of two or three Saturday night pro- grams sponsored by the MV so- ciety. It will be something similar to die non-denominational Youth for Christ. Eugene Rittenhouse's overall aim for evangelism is "to help educate the student to see the needs of lay help in evangelism." The college's part in the evangelistic meetings under die direction of Elder Floyd Bresee, of the religion department, will be twofold. It will give the students an opportunity to help in the meetings, and it will give them training in lay evangelism. The meetings will start two weeks be- fore Thanksgiving. Student to Student, Mid-dav Meditations, and MV worships are under the direction of Jan Schultz. Jan has appointed Klaus Forster to lead Mid-day Meditations dur- ing the first semester. Student to Student is designed to help the new students and particularly the freshmen to adjust to college life. Certain college students will be as • signed three or four new students and will help them by answering questions and getting them in- volved in school and religious ac- tivites. The Student Missionary commit- tee will coordinate communication between John Felkel in Taiwan and Union College. Several MV meetings will be based on the pic- tures and tapes Felkel sends from Taiwan. Machine Added to Broomshop The new, imported broomcorn selector should be arriving at the broomshop within the next month, according to Mr. Dan Olderbak, head of the broomshop. The new machine is made only in Italy and is designed to sep- arate the different lengths of broomcorn used in making the various types of brooms. The ma- chine does the work of one man, is completely automatic, and needs only someone to feed it the broom- corn. One main feature of the selector is its dust collector. Mr. Olderbak says that this will greatly help in eliminating dust from the shop. The machine is approximately 12' long, 3)i'-4' wide, and stands 5' high. The broomshop will begin using it this summer. COLLEGE VIEW PHARMACY MOTHER'S DAY is coming soon . . .
