LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, MARCH 9, 1956 No. 12 College Climaxes Week with Prayer Letter to the City BUSINESSMEN'S $5000 BOOSTS RH CAMPAIGN Student solicitation of the city of Lincoln was staged February 29 with approximately 140 students and sponsors gathering funds for the new women's dormitory. Pre- vious announcements over televi- sion and radio and in the news- papers had prepared the people, who gave over $5,000, according to citv drive co-ordinator Harold Heath. Horold Heath gives last minute in- structions to solicitors on Lincoln Da>. At about nine o'clock in the morning the bands left the campus in cars for designated sections of Lincoln where they began the day's solicitation. Top solicitor for the day was Miss Remley, dean of women, with $585. Esther Morris and Reba Har- vey had their take tremendously boosted by a $500 check from a downtown business. In Memoriam We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Ruth Smith, wife of Dr. R. T. Smith, Union Col- lege physician and teacher. Mrs. Smith was born Novem- ber 15, 1903, and died March 3, 1956. She was baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist church j at about the age of eleven, joining | the faith of her parents who J came into the church by buying i a book entitled Early Writings. She is survived by her husband, Dr. R. T. Smith, two daughters, Carolyn and Miriam, all of Col- lege View, Lincoln, Nebraska, two brothers and one sister. The students and faculty of Union K College extend their sincerest 'v svmpathy to Dr. Smith and his £ daughters at this time. Business Club Crowns Businessman And Secretary Mr. Businessman and Miss Sec- retary of Union College for 1956 will be announced in a Wednesday chapel program March 14. Mr. Ted Thompson of the National Bank of Commerce will crown the individ- uals king and queen for their out- standing achievements. Considered by the secret nomi- nating committee which selected the candidates were courtesy, per- sonal appearance, personality, de- pendability, and loyalty. The eigh- teen nominees were voted on by the business and secretarial stu- dents, but the election results will not be disclosed until next Wed- nesday. Awards will also be presented at this time to students who have achieved recognition in typing and shorthand. Church Begins Drive For Elementary School The College View church has launched a campaign to raise $120,000 for a new elementary school. Of the total, $30,000 will be given by Union College for the right of teacher training. In an earlier campaign, $15,000 was raised, leaving a total of $75,000 to be secured from the church membership. The building, which will be lo- cated at 52nd and Calvert streets, will provide room for an office, home economics laboratory, shop, and seven classrooms equipped with library and lavatory facilities. An additional room will be used by Union College to train its student teachers. Control of the school will be vested in an eleven-member board composed of College View church members and Union College ad- ministrators. The group includes M. W. Deming, pastor of the Col- lege View Church, L. W. Wase- miller, J. W. Rhodes, E. P. Hein- rich, L. R. Downing, D. C. Duf- field, R. D. Wagner, II. C. Hart- man, president of Union College, E. M. Cadwallader, chairman of the education department, V. S. Dunn, business manager, and E. B. Ogden, academic dean. The plan for construction is to break ground May 1, 1956, and have the building ready for occu- pancy by January of 1957. Westerberg, Shultz, Johnson, Baerg Are Contest Winners First place winners in the American Temperance Society contest held Saturday night, March 3 were: John Westerberg, oratorical; Melvin Shultz, poster; Cleo Johnson essay; and Lynn Baerg (not pictured), jingle. Other winners in the oratorical were: 2nd, Harry Holder; 3rd, Harold Heath; and 4th, Jerry McGill. In jingles 2nd and 3rd went to Joan Frederickson, and Emily Nick won 4th. Poster winners were: Ben Stcincr, 2nd; arid Cleo Johnson 3rd and 4th. In the essay contest Harry Holder won 2nd; Cleo Johnson, 3rd; and Ben Steiner, 4th. Judges for the program were: Elder W. A. Howe, Elder M. D. Oswald, Russell Strom, Harlan Adams and Colonel E. A. Hardin as the complete answer to every young person's need. Elder Delafield, who has been in editorial work for about twelve years, maintains that the greatest lack in modern SDA youth is that of an experimental knowledge of the Man Jesus Christ. Through the aim of the week "Christ above all," and the theme, "we beheld His glory," he has endeavored to present a forceful picture of mtt n • • ri # •• m * the reality of Jesus as a loving Columbus Boychoir Sings College Concert "America's singing boys" will perform at the Union College audi- torium Saturday night, March 17, under the direction of Herbert Huffman, founder-director of the Columbus Boychoir. Among the concert numbers is the seldom per- formed opera "The Apothecary" by Haydn. This is performed in cos- tumes with an acted portrayal of the plot. The Boychoir program ranges from Palestrina to Gershwin, from Tyrolean folk songs to Negro spiri- tuals, from Latin motets to mo- dern music. There are over seventy students from throughout the US and Can- ada enrolled in the Columbus Boy- choir school, originally established in Columbus, Ohio, in 1940. While on concert tour each sea- son, the boys have their normal routine interrupted as little as poss- ible. They travel in their "school- house on wheels," a large General Motors bus especially fitted with desks at each seat and a five-oc- tave piano for rehersals. Music is the major subject and there are two hours of rehearsal each day. The rest of the time is spent with studies and recreation. Columbus Boychoir school is a materialization of faith — faith in the power of music to influence and strengthen character and the faith of one man in the support of his fellow citizens for an ideal, according to Huffman. Conference Commends as a Saviour and personal Friend, he said. As a climax to the week's activi- ties, which have included daily prayer bands as well as counseling periods conducted by the minis- ters of the College View church, Mrs. Frances Hutchison, Bible worker of Omaha, and Elder Dela- field, tomorrow afternoon has been dedicated to the distribution throughout Lincoln of a special Prayer Letter. This is to be carried on by the ASB in an effort to awaken the city of Lincoln to the realiza- tion of Union College as a praying school, whose students invite this city to unite with them in prayer for guidance from the Father of us all, according to Delafield. Denver Nursing School WICKWIRE LEADS Representatives of the General Conference recently made an eval- uation tour of the Union College nursing school in Denver, Color- ado. Elder E. E. Cossentine and Miss D. Lois Burnett met with the departmental faculty and Dean Ogden to study the new program that has gone into effect at the school. The committee commended school on some of the new develop- ments in nursing education. In- cluded in those commended were the areas of preparation for church leadership, preparation for com- munity service, and a short course in social ethics. Pedersen Returns to UC As Associate Church Pastor Stanley Pedersen, who was not an Adventist when he first came to Union in 1940, is now serving as assistant pastor of the College View church. Elder Pedersen, from Su- perior, Wisconsin, was ordained in 1951 and in addition to his minis- terial work here is a member of the Nebraska conference executive committee. Mrs. Pedersen (Dora Mae Brown) from Scotts Bluff, Iowa, has taught church school for 3 years, public school for 2 years and is now taking classes at Union in preparation for a Neb- raska teacher's certificate. After his graduation from Union the Pedersens lived in Omaha where Elder Pedersen was assis- tant pastor of the Omaha church. Later he served as district leader in Fremont, Nebraska City and Mc Cook, Nebraska. Their two older children, Charlotte, 13, and Elton, 10, attend church school here. The two younger children are Marvin, 5, and Jean, 3. In his leisure time Mr. Pedersen enioys gardening and also comments that as a sports en- thusiast he especially likes basket- ball and baseball. MB Election Fills Semester Vacancies Frank House and Joyce Dick were elected recently by the ASB to die offices of Golden Cords as- sociate editor and CLOCK TOWER assistant editor, respectively. Elected to membership on the recreation committee were: Nor- man Woods, Bob Scott, Don Wea- therall, Jim Dieringer, Kathleen Mount and Darlene Kirchner. All of these offices are filled only until the end of the current semester. STUDENTS HOLD EFFORTS IN NEBRASKA CITIES Nine ministerial students are participating in public evangelism during the second semester, ac- cording to Elder J. J. Williamson, assistant professor of evangelism. Public efforts are being held in Nebraska City and Beatrice. Those who are working in the Beatrice effort are assisting Elder E. S. Funk, newly appointed district pastor. Sabbath services are being con- ducted each week in the Falls City and Fairbury churches. The class, which is organized to give ministerial students more practical experience before leaving school, is under the direction of Elder Williamson. Students par- ticipating in field work this semes- ter are Maurice Bascom, Leslie Bietz, Tom Carter, Roger Hein- rich, Jerry McGill, Ivan Morford, Cecil Owen, Ted Pritel, and Er- nest Schwab. Seniors at Recognition Forest Addresses 88 Dr. Leland Forest, chancellor of the Nebraska Wesleyan University, will speak at the annual senior recognition to take place Wednes- day, March 21. The pre-graduation affair, which features 88 spring and summer seniors in caps and gowns, will be staged in the UC auditor- ium in a joint session of upper and lower division students. The belated event, originally scheduled earlier this semester, serves to present the graduating class officially before the faculty and student body as approved for finishing their college curriculum. COLPORTEUR RALLY A literature evangelism work- shop under the chairmanship of Elder Bruce M. Wickwire will be held on the campus next week March 10-16. Assisting Elder Wick- wire will be Elder C. A. Edwards and instructor Elder C. G. Cross, publishing secretary for the Cen- tral Union conference. The program begins tomorrow jmorning with a presentation by Elder R. H. Nightingale, president of the Northern Union conference, 'who will speak in both morning church services.

Mud—with flowers peeping through it, and spring mist with the clock tower peeping through to say that the minutes ere ticking away another nine-weeks period very rapidly. In the spring, a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of—well, what they accuse the young ladies of thinking about all winter. It does seem like some people have different ideas on it. The other night Lena Navis and Ella Olderbak were talking and Lena was heard to say, "He has a way of putting you at ease while keeping you in the dark." Does that need an explanation? These Tuesday night supper dates when the girls ask the boys The same evening Florence Oster seemed to be having a bit of difficulty herself. She picked up a tube of what she thought was face cream, but which turned out to be something quite different. When she finally got it off her face, she really had to rush to make it in time. Spring fever can make us all forgetful, I guess. Mr. Cleveland's "Do you trust your boyfriend?" quiz program in Kappa Theta featured Ronnie Nelson, Jan Morgan, Shorty Reeder, Jeanie Rogers, John Evans, Virginia Bishop, Sharlene Woods and Jay Sloop. When Mr. Cleveland asked Jan to list as quickly as she could all the boys she had ever dated, Jan managed a sizable list, but the laugh came when she forgot to put down Ronnie's name at all! Jean Van den Brink and Arlo Funk proved to be the biggest surprise of all, when Jean unknowingly asked a boy for a date and he came stepping out from behind the closed door. To the many mothers that read this column, I would like to speak in behalf of all the girls to say that this is the time of the year when everyone seems to get a little homesick, so why don't you just bake up a batch of those extra special cookies of yours and send them this way? This could go for the boys, too, although boys are usually too proud to say they get homesick! A final tribute to those girls who have been practice teaching. A lot have looked tired, but Darlene Kirchner, Evaline West, and Edith Walgren just seem to be worn out. Why don't thev try a little bit of that child psychology that we hear so much about?

Jeannine tells us that ica?" brings an enthusiastic "Oui, ouil" from our little French made- moiselle, Jeannine Sarlandie, who has recently come to live in North Hall. Planning to be a nurse, Jean- nine is very busy here at Union- playing with us, studying with us, adjusting to school life in America. Many things interest her—travel, art, music, and the American way of life, which is one of the primary reasons for her coming to America. There is yet another very important reason, too, which I will mention later. Port Home Jeannine was born and reared in a city of about 75,000 located on the coast of France. La Rochelle is a prosperous fishing port where Jeannine's father has a business shop. Her parents are not interested in religion, and Jeannine has been an Adventist only a year and a half. She went to elementary and high school in La Rochelle, and when she was nineteen years old traveled to England where she attended a private school. In this school she helped the French teach- er and assisted the matron in the care of the younger children. SDA Contact After finishing her course in the private school, Jeannine went to South Wales to visit friends. At this home she came into contact with an Adventist family. It was through the efforts of this family that she later accepted Christ as her personal Saviour. At this time she was taking a course at Cam- bridge University. When she left England, her Adventist friends per- suaded her to take the Voice of Prophecy Bible course. During the next two years she worked as secretary in an Ameri- an elementary school in her home town of La Rochelle. It was during this time that she made her deci- sion to follow Christ. As Jeannine tells her story, we know that the Lord has truly guided her in her search for Christian education, as well as in other matters, well-illus- trated in another incident of her life. Loye Conquest A Seventh-day Adventist soldier stationed in France was looking for a place to spend the Sabbath. He was directed to Bordeaux where a baptism was being held that afternoon in which Jeannine was participating. She and Lonnie Dun- can, the G.I., met at this service in a very unusual way, and diey be- lieve that it was God's will for them. Her love for this young man and her desire to come to America inspired Jeannine to travel to Union College.

One can truly feel the spirit of God in this college, for most of the earnest young people are having to sacrifice much to gain a Christian education. To summarize, Jeannine says, "Let us hope and prav that Union or Cologne or any other Seventh- day Adventist college might he just th-' n'ar-e that many young people are looking for as they strive to gain a training for a place in God's service." * m s Jear.nine relaxes in her room listening to her favorite music. THE UNDIAGNOSED by Janis Brittain "THE TIN BOX" Pandora's box had nothing on ours. At the close of each shift every student here is required to check "the box" on our floor; it's a tin one containing the "anecdotal record" for his or her work that day. Funny, I always had the idea that an anecdote was a yarn with a humorous twist; but these daily "gems" are neither yarns nor intentionally humorous. Relief Shifts Those "little boxes" are just the sidelight of the busy life here at Children's Hospital. We are learning to work 11-7 at night, go to break- fast at 7 or 7:15, and then to class at 7:30. Of course, once in class and accounted for, a semicomatose state may settle over you, too bad, lecturer. (Whose notes may I borrow tomorrow?) The 3-11 afternoon shift here is a little bit misnamed as "relief" shift. What with only a small skeleton crew bridging the gap between the day and late night shifts, there is a little "relief" in sight, and do we run! Diaper Corners When prompted to cut corners—and I mean pin a diaper with fewer than the required number of pins—the vision of the "Little Tin Box" floats before the mind's eye, and we charge ahead, frenziedly anchoring shirt to diaper, stockings to diaper, etc. All the while baby doll, reveling in his new, dry encasement, kicks, writhes and twists. "Doesn't he know I'm in a hurry? Just last night they wrote that my beds were not lined up perfectly straight! I must find time to "police" the "line-up" tonight! Funny Faces Hard? Not really. Just a small touch of army discipline, good for novices like us. There is fun to be had here, too. It's not all work. Last Tuesday night we fell heir to some symphony tickets—middle section, half-way down-left—by some kindly folks considerably more affluent than we. Not being allergic to animal fur we were able to sit in the midst of a sea of fur coats with no respiratory embarrassment at all. Excess Energy My Porter classmates are making themselves felt. In the midst of a rapid-fire lecture, Calvin Wade was heard to cry out. "Now. wait a min- ute, Miss Collins!" The uproarious laughter over his tone of despair com- pletely drowned the voice of the instructor. Even she laughed. Celia Clark, in the kitchen sorting a sack of her daddy's home-grown Kansas peanuts, had difficulty convincing her "gallery" she was making peanut brittle until the luscious end-product was sampled. When Mary Ellen Hoyt can't make it back to Porter's to challenge all comers at ping-pong, she runs off some of her excess energy by taking long brisk walks around here, with our company requested. SDA's to Show Film at NU The film "1 in 20,000" will make its second appearance within a year next Monday at the Love Memorial Library on die Univer- sity of Nebraska campus, disclosed the ATS last week. The temperance film, co-sponsored by the Univer- sity Fellowship of Seventii-day Ad- ventists and the Union College ATS chapter will be viewed by personnel of both schools as well as the general public, added the ATS. The showing, slated to begin at 8:00 p.m., is free to all interested. 66,500 ORPHANS . . NOT 750,000 Thirty years ago, there were no less than 750,000 orphans in this country—750,000 children under 1 8 who had lost both par- ents. Today, with a population 50% bigger than it was in 1920, there are only 66,500 orphans. Here is dramatic proof of the effectiveness of modern drugs in keeping people alive. . . in keep- ing families together. FRANK'S DRUG 3615 S. 48th Ph. 4-2242 Overseas: Foreign Graduates Return to Homeland Union College recently honored the first two foreign student gradu- ates with families who have re- turned to their countries in God's service. Raul Cruz and family re- turned to Cuba, where he will as- sist in evangelistic work. Ignacio Carrillo will resume his teaching program as head of the education department in our training school in Medellin, Colombia, where he and his family are now located. Several U.C. teachers and stu- dents gave over $100 plus gifts of clothing, linen, suitcases, and books for the two families. The academy and college Spanish classes were given the opportunity of present- ing the gifts personally to the men, and Miss Hall presented the fami- lies with the linen and blankets.

The stockholders "lowered the boom" on the officers, who had led the company to the brink of financial ruin, and voted to revive their faltering organization by electing new officers, from the president on down. The usual haggling went on, but out of the struggle Mike Hin- ger emerged as president, Jeanie Deming as vice president, and Dorothy Chase as secretary. Hold- ing the financial reins is Dick Wreed. Roger Simpson is parliamen- tarian, and Theron Morley chief counselor. Corporate attorneys chosen for the firm were Morford and Deming. The wise financial wizard Wreed suggested the color of the Tiddle Dee Winks be changed to charcoal and lavender. This move brought an immediate change of fortune. The secretary read a wire for the new order from the Maharaja of India which was so fabulous that the sagging spirit of all stock- holders revived immediately. The sophomores gayly passed out samples of the Tiddle Dee Winks blank mint patties with lavender S's on them to their classmates as they left the auditorium.

On the wall of a southern Illinois filling station there hangs o motto which reads, "I complained because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet." Have you ever had a similar experience? Have you complained about a bad grade only to find some friend, studying much harder thon you, received yet a lower grade? Were you ever embarrassed because circumstances forced you to wear the same dress to church two weeks in succession? What of your friend who feels he must miss church completely because he has nothing at all to wear? When in trouble, have vou ever grumbled that your cross is much heavier and harder to bear than any other? Then remember that no matter how heavy the burden or how trying the circumstances that surround you, there is alwoys someone who must struggle and fight much harder than you to obtain his victory. CR the "Chat." If you are planning on griping at or about someone, don't do it in front of Helen—that is her pet peeve. Next is a married "gal"—Dorene Gerle—who comes from Colorado. Her main (also side) interest is her new husband. She loves to swim and go water skiing, but don't ask her to cook or do house work- she hates it! (Who doesn't?) Larry Fillingham has many varied interests—radios and any other electrical i t e m, singing, swimming, and basketball, just to name a few. This is his first year here from the "Hawkeye" state. He plans to become an electrical en- gineer and h a s already started toward that goal in liis college studies. A very minute girl with dark eyes and hair and the mother of two children is Pat Watson. She has tliree interests, which are Connie, who is four, Eddie, five, and her husband. Anything she does for them could be listed under her favorites. A physics m a j o r who enjoys study is our last for this week- Walter Lea. Don't diink he is al- ways studying, because he likes to be outdoors or to play basketball, so his interests cover a broad field. The "Line-Up" will finish next issue and you'll have had thirty-two seniors pass in review for you. Some are from near and some from far. but they all make up Union College Academy's Glass of '56. Brown Addresses Scientists Dr. D. K.

Overheard - - South by Bob Romans South Hall, playing its usual role of host to many visitors, was happy to welcome the parents of Larry Tebelius, Mr. and Mrs. George Tebelius of Bowden, North Dakota, and the parents of Dick Loomer of Leavenworth, Kansas, for a weekend visit. It is sincerely hoped that the visit was a pleasant one and that they will return again soon. Rob Johnson was recently in St. Elizabeth's hospital where he underwent surgery on his left knee. He has been conspiciously absent this year on the football field and basketball court because of a knee injury incurred last summer when his knee cushioned the fall of a four and one-half ton air compressor while working on steel con- struction. Hope it'll be as good as new, Rob. Visitors to Wendell Hanson's room never cease to be amazed at his craftsmanship. Decorating the wall of his room are two "buc- caneer" type pistols that he has made. They are of the "cap and ball" variety and are "muzzle loaders." They shoot a ball the size of a marble, which he moulds from hot lead. Did vou know that pirates don't fare too well these modern days, Wendell? Roommates Frank House and Charles Sims should take some home economics classes, at least long enough to learn that hot plates should be turned off; especially if the owners are planning to leave and lock the door, or even more so if they are going to leave a greasy skillet on to "warm up." Twenty residents of South Hall who vainly tried to get into the smoke-producing room will testify to the dire lock of home economics facts stored up in these two "culinary" ex- perts' minds.

They may be seen in the company of others occasionally, and may even appear to be surrounded by friends. It is more likely, however, that they pursue their activity of life in virtual solitude. From the time they shake off the night's sleep till they lay their tortured souls down on a welcome bed their path crosses but few others. It may come near often; but only near. These neglected individuals of our society are guilty of no great crime. Toothpastes and deodorants are not the ingredients lacking in their make-up. Perhaps their appearance is not as attractive as that of others—they may be downright homely. Timid by nature, their personalities may not draw others to them. Weighed down by cares of s£udy and work they perhaps have little opportunity to gain society's benefits. But more basically important is the fact that these human beings have been denied the greatest single demand and right of the race—the right to be accepted, to belong, to love and be loved. Sociefy somehow seems to have overlooked their place, and has chosen instead to simply leave them out. And so they trod their trail of dreary loneliness—one alone in the crowds of mankind, unknown, unloved, and uncared for.

It is published in the interest of the readers and extends to them an invitation to join in the spirit of the past prayer week here. Dear Friend: The past week has brought us a greot discovery. It isn't anything new or sen- sational. God's people of all faiths have knowri cbout it for a long time, but some of us have forgotten, and we need to think clearly about it, for we have come to a critical time in the history of our nation. We are talking about PRAYER—the power of prayer to strengthen the things that are good and to change the things that are wrong in us. The blessings cf Providence have been showered upon our fair land. The freedom to worship as we please and to live securely in the most democraiic country on earth is curs to enjoy. We are rich in freedom; and we are rich in material wealth, with good food and clothing, with housing and conveniences above all that we need. But are we as rich as we could be in spiritual things? Has not the time come for us all to pray for a revival of faith in God and the reading of the Bible? During the past week our student body and faculty have participated in a special week cf prayer on our college campus. We have been praying that G
