Mass Choirs to Present 'Messiah' Placements Made by Student Conference Annual Tree-Lighting Ceremony Celebrated Last night President D. J. Bieber turned on the lights in the second annual Christmas tree-lighting ceremony. The tree, a 20-foot spruce located between the library and the music hall, was decorated by power house employees. Dean G. L. Caviness was in charge of planning the program which included carol singing, in- strumental numbers, worship, and a few remarks by President Bieber. The tree-lighting ceremony is sponsored annually by the Promo- tions Committee. Science and Scripture Week Observed This past week at Union College has been "Science and Scripture week." The purpose of the week has been to emphasize the impor- tance of a careful study of both science and the Scriptures by all . thinking Christians. "Since we are about to observe the one-hundredth anniversary of the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species, which embroiled the religious and scien- tific world in a fresh battle, it seems appropriate that we should re-examine the two propositions," said Sydney Allen, instructor in Religion and chairman of the ac- tivities for the week. Featured speakers at the college were two professors from Con- cordia Teachers College, Seward, Nebraska. Professor Wilbert H. R u s c h, associate professor of science at Concordia was the speaker last Monday in the regu- lar Chapel Service held In the church. His subject was "100 years of Darwinism." Professor Rusch is a graduate of the Illinois Institute of Technology with a B.S. degree and received his Master of Science MV's lo Sponsor Religious Films In Capitol Center The youth organizations of the Lincoln Seventh - day Adventist churches are beginning a program designed to bring a new apprecia- tion of Christ and His gospel to other youth of this city. The pro- gram was outlined by Mr. J. C. Kinder, MV leader of the College View church. Mr. Kinder stated that one means of accomplishing this aim was through the showing of pertinent motion filmi and lectures to youth by youth. The first of this series was a film entitled "Seventeen" picturing the effect of a Christian club among teenagers in high school. Co- featured with the film was another in color, "One In Twenty Thou- sand." The films were given two showings at 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. at the Capitol Evangelistic Center last night. UC Band to Present Winter Concert, Dec. 13 The Union College Student Con- ference, formed in September In interest of giving ministerial stu- dents pastoral training, made its first placements recently. Senior ministerial students, Don Stowe and Herman Leiske, were assigned as pastoral assistants to the Beatrice and Fairbury, Nebras- ka, churches respectively. Junior ministerial student, Gor- don Kainer, has placement in York, Nebraska, for this year. Speaking appointments will be placed on an alternating basis, giving opportun- ity for students to preach in other churches. Plans for the Student Confer- ence will include the assignment of more senior ministerial students as assistant pastors in surround- ing churches as more territory Is acquired for this training program. 125-Voice Choir, Orchestra To Participate in Oratorio The MESSIAH, a choral and or- chestral production by George Frederick Handel, will be presented Friday evening, December 12, in the college auditorium. Approximately 125 persons will participate In the presentation backed by a 25-piece orchestra. Represented in the presentation will be the Golden Chords Chorale, the Unionaires, the Union College ladies' and men's choruses, the Academy choruses, the College View church choir, and the MES- SIAH chorus itself. Several from the University of Nebraska, the First Plymouth Congregational church, and from the College View community will also take part. Soloists for the production will be Carolyn Rhodes, soprano; Ja- nene Odom, alto; Glenn Clarke, tenor; and Arlo Funk, bass. degree from the University of Mich- igan in 1951.

Pledges for Center Due Before Dec. 17 Pledges amounting to $1905 were received during a recent ASB meeting In convocation for the furnishing of the proposed Stu- dent Center. This occurred after the House in special meeting voted to move the Student Center Into Room 211 in place of the here-to- fore mentioned plan of using sec- tions of the chapel. Curreht plans call for the center to be opened by February 1. Pledg- es should be paid before Christmas vacation in the college accounting office. Coming Events Friday, December 5 9:25 o.m.

Miss Catherine Brown will be at the organ for the presentation. Union College, in presenting this program, is following a long choral tradition started over 200 years ago. According to Mr. Haynes, the MESSIAH is one of the greatest works ever written for choir and orchestra. "It presents a real op- portunity and responsibility to us as Christians in singing a com- position such as this," states Mr. Haynes. At a similar presentation two years ago at the college, the MES- SIAH was well received by an aud- ience of over 1200. A large atten- dance Is expected for the coming performance. ATS MRS. AMERICA OF 1956 TO SPEAK IN REES HALL Mrs. Carl Deitemeyer of Lincoln, Nebraska, winner of the "Mrs. America" title for 1956, will speak In Rpps hall on December 8 for the evening worship period. "' As the mother of five children, Mrs. Deitemeyer is concerned about the home-centered problems such as juvenile delinquency, family break-ups, and drinking problems. She has done extensive traveling and lecturing during-the past few years. This month's jingle contest will be on narcotics. The deadline is January 16. Oratorical finals will be held on February 1, 1959. The brain is a wonderful organ.

Lincoln, Nebraska CLOCK TOWER, DECEMBER 5, 1958 /tften tyt actuation Pastor Gayle Rhoades, a min- isterial graduate or Union College in 1954, was recently ordained in the Texas Conference. On Our Need for a Center A student center has been proposed; the ASB executive committee has worked long hours and has drawn up final plans. Our Senate and House of Representatives have ratified these plans, and now it is up to us—the student body—to reject or carry out the proposed plans. Many have asked why we need a student center. Some have sug- gested that we students might waste time there; and surely, in our democratic society, the opinions of all must be appreciated. But I ask, is taking the time to form friendships with other students wasting time? When the majority of us, after almost three months of school, do not even know the names of the other students with whom we eat in the cafeteria or those in our classes, isn't it time that we get together in an informal way and become acquainted? Each person that we come to know broadens in some measure our general knowledge and makes us better able to associate with other people. This being true, many of us are losing valuable opportunities to gain the fuU benefit from our college years. By our united co-operation we can have a student center. This Christmas let's give a present both to ourselves and to those students who will in coming years follow our steps into these haUs—the gift of a student center that will make Union an even friendlier school. A. T On Mating the Challenge Now that our campus is about to have a student center, what will be its eventual outcome? It, like most other things, can be either good or bad, depending on how it is used. Will we as stu- dents accept the challenge and responsibilities laid upon as a conse- quence? Let each of us determine that this new project will be an asset to our school and that it will not become a debasing influence. Let us be determined that we will not be blinded by selfish desires so much as to fling aside the standards of our faith. We must remember that as a people preparing to meet our King we cannot afford to cling to the things of this earth. Self-denial, not self-indulgence, is the counsel given us by the messenger of the Lord. M.A. On the "ttetklekem Koad" With the memory of one holiday fresh in our minds, and the antici- pation of another crowding that memory, perhaps we have .little room for any other thoughts just now. Whether we say "holiday" or "holy day," Christmas is more than a yule log, a sprig of holly, or a lavishly decorated tree. It is more than natural good cheer and the giving of gifts. Christmas is even more than a feast at home, a feast of lov« and friendship with our loved ones. Christmas is all that and more, too. It is more than all these added together, for it means Christ—the Christ of charity, of freedom and of peaee. The joy of Christmas as we think of it during this season is a feeling that nothing can kill, for it is the joy of the soul. Poverty cannot prevent the joy of Christmas, for no earthly wealth can give us that exhilarated feeling. It comes from sharing with others, lifting the burden of a neighbor, and remembering Christ as the giver of all good gifts. Not until we lay aside our selfishness and pride and begin to travel the road that began at Bethlehem will the Star of Christmas again illu- minate the world. As we plan for our loved ones, let us not forget Christ. The gifts of our dedicated hearts and lives will mean joy for Him. Let us deal justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him as we journey along together on the "Bethlehem road" during this holiday season.

E. Cossentine, Secretary of the General Conference Department of Education "Make your student life as perfect as possible. You will pass over the way but once. And It rests with you yourself whether your work shall be a success or a failure." Vol. 5, page 275. How true these words are. As you look ahead the way seems endless and some distant goal seems to be the important aim. We hear young people say, "When I have finished this or that I will live and enjoy life." To the young per- son who reasons this way I would say, "Stop, Look, and Listen." Stop for a moment and remember that the only time you will ever have to live and enjoy fully is this mo- ment now. There is no other time granted to you or to me. Stop and look—look about you and see how men have made wrecks of their lives when they are not God cen- tered and controlled. Look and see the success men and women have made of their lives when they are guided by the Master. You need only to look around you where you are to see the contrast. The psalm- ist had stopped and looked when he said, "I had rather be a door- keeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wick- e'dness." Don't just stop and look. Listen also—to the many wonder- ful sounds around you; the wind in the trees, the songs of the birds, the quietness of God speaking to you, urging you to let Him make your life a blessing. Listen to His plans for you. You may become too busy to ever hear Him speaking, and then miss the joy of following His prepared purpose. Yes, young people, stop, look, and listen. If you will do this on your knees, your life will be one of great happiness to yourself and a bless- ing to your fellow men. cAa 3 Set Jt by George Fi»ch«r It seems that Russia has deci- ded on a nice surprise Christmas gift for the Germans. They're planning to return Berlin to them. As always, behind Soviet double- talk we find the true reason for their supposed generous idea. They hope to secure western recogni- tion for the government of East Germany, that well-known puppet show with Moscow master minds pulling the strings. Liberals in Republican and Dem- ocratic ranks are joining forces to change the rules of the Senate so as to limit debate to a reasonable length of time. The main purpose of the fight, led by New York's Re- publican J a v i t s and Minnesota's "New-dealer" Humphrey, is to pave the way for civil rights legislation which until now has been neatly stymied by the Southern filibuster. Looks as though, for better or worse, the Senate has seen the last of Its talkathons. Cheers for student Initiative, and by the way, for faculty co-op- eration! Our student center is well on the way to becoming a reality. It's up to us now to support the program as we've promised to do. Special recognition for leadership in this project, I believe, is due to ASB president, Ted Wick, and Dean of Student Affairs, Dr. L. W. Welch —two outstanding Faces in the Crowd. E. E.

Ac- cording to its report, 11,587 nurses have graduated from Adventist schools of nursing, 9,143 in North America and 2,444 overseas.

SYDNEY, ANSTRALIA—Because many members of the church are vegetarians, Seventh-day Advent- ists operate a world-girdling chain of food factories and 23 branches specializing in these foods are op- erated in Australia and New Zea- land, and many products are na- tionally known brands. Other Ad- ventist food factories operate in Brazil, Argentina, Denmark, Eng- land, Germany, Switzerland, France, and South Africa.

Ki appa T)heta By Betty Bell Rees Hall didn't really have time to settle down from the excitement of open house before it was time to pack and leave for home—and Thanksgiving dinner. I fear that some of the shine is already gone from our rooms, but the spirit of the whole thing is still here. I haven't heard of any serious mishaps connected with the evening. Oh, I did hear by way of my pri- vate grape vine that Connie Wells lost her corsage on the way to the program. Connie, how on earth did you do a thing like that? It wasn't a complete loss though because she found it later. Often we fail to realize how much planning Is behind a program that seems to just fit together naturally. The girls of Kappa Theta would like to thank Judy Roth, who planned the decorations; Nancy McPhail, who planned the dorm tour; Bev Johnson, who planned the program; and Janet Tucker who was in charge of planning the whole evening to help us entertain In our new home. Just for the record and in case you've forgotten, the following girls received special recognition because their rooms were especially lovely: Donna Wolfe and Maxine Reed, Karaly Barger and Joyce Hornbacher, Jane Nowack and Ruth Ann Hagen, Donna Ray and Gail Emde, Phyllis Foster and Dixie Ballew, Bettie Wommack and Sharon Chatfield, Carol Lea Arfman and Karene Onstad, Sharon Avery and Judy Bartling, Cleo Bloom and Bernadette McBride, Bonnie Smith. There may be a mistake In this list; your reporter had to depend solely on her rather weak mem- ory since there was no list available. It seemed only an hour or so after open house that everyone was busy packing for vacation. Some of us were not fortunate enough to be going home and had to just stand by and watch the others leave. But Thanksgiving at Union wasn't bad at all. I would like to thank Miss Whitfield especially for making Thanksgiving dinner almost as good as it would have been at home. She had the cafeteria decorated and looking very festive, and the meal was just wonderful. That Thursday evening Sharon Chatfield, Ann Thomas and Bettie Wommack invited the other girls and all the fellows over for supper and games in Rees Hall's recreation room. In spite of all we did to entertain ourselves, Rees Hall was a rather lonely place, and we are very glad that everyone is back and life at Union has taken on its normal tempo once more.

We Qave So Zkat Others Might Have by Bruce Powers It was heartwarming to see sfniles of deep thankfulness on the faces of Mr. and Mrs. Kern, Don, Timmy, and Julie when they opened their door to two Union College students bearing a Thanks- giving basket. To them Thanksgiv- ing would now be a day of plenty instead of the usual meagerness; of happiness in spite of real prob- lems and trouble; of warmth from the glow of brotherly kindness—all because Union College students, staff members, and friends gave on the Friday night before Thanks- giving. Mr. Kern used to be a mechani- cal engineer. One day he was in- specting a structure that was un- der construction when he fell three stories. Since then he has been between the hospital and home. Although he is improving, he is still unable to work. All of this has been hard for Mrs. Kern and their three small children. The Kern family Is one of the 60 families who received Thanksgiv- ing baskets from the Union College MV Society on Thanksgiving eve. They are all just as needy, just as grateful. This yearly custom is made pos- sible through the cooperation of Miss Ruth Whitfield, director of food service at Union College. She makes available different foods which can be purchased by the students through the college cafe- teria.

Pretty reasonable, when you consider that often there's nothing more required than the price of a prescription. That's why we keep saying prescriptions today are really less expensive. It's true that 50 years ago you could buy a bottle of medicine for half a dollar . . . but how effective was it? Usually it did nothing but ease symptoms, if that. Today, your pre- scription may cost a little more in dollars and cents, but you get MUCH MORE—twenty extra years, for instancei RICE PHARMACY Sig,ma Sola !ppa By Gary Grimes For Sigma Iota Kappa's club program the Monday before vacation, a special Thanksgiving program was given. Jerry Thayer's stereophonic set furnished the background music. Dick Hammond, club pastor, gave the worship talk. Helton Fisher was the narrator. Special music in song was brought to us by Sharon Avery and Carolyn Rhodes. The program was prepared by club president, Norman Graham and club pastor, Dick Hammond. Another interesting club night was presented by William Nordgren. Mr. Nordgren brought us a slide story of Germany. His many beautiful pictures showed everything from Hitler's hideout to the blue Danube River. Especially interesting were the slides of medieval castles and cathedrals The final club to date was educational. Two General Motors films were shown. These films showed the new GMC giant research center and the experiments that GMC is making with a jet-propelled car. It would hardly be fitting if we didn't thank the ladies of Rees Hall for a very fine time at their open house. Union College has something to really be proud of in Pearl Rees Hall. The Hall is swank and the open house was very entertaining. South Hall's Christmas present arrived about three weeks early. The new, much-needed automatic washers got here the day after Thanksgiving vacation. The plan finally decided upon by which to run the washers is to charge a small fee for their use. The machines will be metered. The long-range plan calls for the money collected to be used to buy a new dryer. Well, that just about wraps it up around this corner of the campus.

AT THE UNION BANK 48th & Bancroft Member F.D.I.C. Have Hat ... Will Travel by Marvel Jensen Bill Nordgren is that tall fellow under THE hat. The hat is a big green affair with a brush sticking up and back, and should your eye happen to take a tour around the brim—well it's a travelogue all in Itself. Coats-of arms from all over the world are represented there. The travels were all paid for, compliments of the U. S. Army for which Bill gave them in ex- change 20 years of his life. Now a retired Master Sergeant, he is tak- ing business here at Union. Bill became an Army career man in January, 1938. After being sta- tioned for seven years in Minne- sota, he was sent to Greenland where he stayed until '44. Back in the states, he embarked for Eur- ope in '45. Before we became en- vious of the places he's been, it might be well to remember World War II was being fought during these years. Back home again the glorious feeling of having helped achieve peace for the world soon dimmed as he saw the direction world af- fairs were taking. About this time he met a layman who encouraged him to become active in our church. In 1952 he was baptized. Later this same year he was sent to Korea, spending two years there and also in Japan. It was in 1955 on a trip to St. Paul, Minn., from his latest station in Fort Hood, Texas, that Bill met his wife, Eva Dickerson. After an MV program in which Eva had participated, Bill asked the min- ister to introduce them. But this courtship had to be continued via the mail for Eva, (an R.N.) had accepted a call to the Malaya Mis- sion and Bill was sent back to Ger- many. Eva spent .two and a half years in Malaya and then began a trip around the world that brought her to Germany and to Bill. Evidently Bill was tired of buying stamps or else had writer's cramp for they were married in Germany. In 1958 Bill retired from the ar- my $nd his advice to the boys go- ing in, is to know something of business. It you know typing es- pecially, you can avoid a lot of ditch-digging!

Ph. 4-4184 CLOCK TOWER, DECEMBER 5, 1958; CENTER OF RE-CREATION By Loren Wade "Forward, back, forward, back, side-to-side, side-to-side. I just can't quite get the knack of it but it's coming." It was with surprise and fascination that I watched a determined student trying to mas- ter the latest piece of physical edu- cation equipment one afternoon last week. "Now let's see, side-to- side, faster, faster, I'll have it in a minute. No hula hoop Is going to get me down!" But agani the stub- born hoop fell to the floor. It seems that the new invention was giving the student a share of frustration as well as some healthy exercise. Elsewhere in the gymnasium, other students were having better luck with some of the more tradi- tional means of recreation. Tram- poline and volleyball were in evi- dence, and in one end of the build- ing a lively game of table tennis was going on. The department em- ployees scurried back and forth cleaning the floor and working on the equipment. As I neared the stage, two girls were pulling mats from a storage cupboard in prep- aration for tumbling practice. At every side students were run- ning, jumping, twisting or bending as they sought to gain greater sta- mina and better health through physical education. As it is ex- Desoto Plymouth GOTFREDSON MOTOR COMPANY O p"n Sundays 4714 Prescott 4-2329 pressed in the wording of the Union College bulletin, the physical edu- cation department strives "to ac- quaint all students with the true principles of healthful living" and to encourage students to develop physical efficiency. The courses' aim at encouraging sportsmanship, co-operation, and the ability to make wise and quick decisions un- der pressure. It Is through this de- partment of the school that the training in disaster nursing and the Medical Cadet Corps is of- fered. Every student who graduates from Union College must take at least 4 semesters of "phys ed." He may choose from courses in tum- bling, trampoline, skating, archery, badminton, golf, swimming, body building, field hockey, campcrafts, M.C.C. and many others—some 45 courses in all. During recreational periods the facilities of the gym are open to all. The swimming pool is open a number of hours each week with qualified student life guards and instructors. To feel better and be healthier, Union College students have learned to take advantage of the many opportunities offered them for true, physical education.
