nmrr Vol. XXXII UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, November 14, 1963 No. 5 MV Benefit Goal 75 Food Baskets For Tho MV Community Benefit has its goal set at 75 food baskets to go to Lincoln residents this Thanks- giving. The annual Community Benefit is to be held Nov. 22, at 7:45 p.m in tho Collcge View Church. An increase in food baskets is expected over the 60 baskets received last year in this effort. Don Schneider, leader of the MV Society makes this statement, "This program is to bring out the realiza- tion of what Thanksgiving is for." The theme of this program is Thanksgiving in the past, the pre- sent, and the future. During thr meeting the food that people have brought to donate will be placed in the front of the church. Later this food is divided into individual baskets and will be delivered to needy families in Lincoln. Mrs. Hulda Roper of the Lincoln Police Department will supply the names of deserving individuals. Students will be availed of the opportunity to buy food for this project in the church annex the evening and morning before the benefit. I. f. Russell, director of the pro- gram. feels that people often make the mistake of believing that it is a great contribution to the poor without realizing that it benefits themselves even more from the giving. It is also hoped by Russell that this community program will be expanded to other organizations besides the MV Society. This pro- ject would then be able to form new activities with greater par- ticipation, thus expanding their services to the community.

Elder Maxwell says that he "writes for amost all our Adventist periodicals, includ- ing the Signs of the Times, These Times, Review and Herald, Kit, Goal, Ministry, Religious Liberty, Youth's Instructor, Junior Guide, and the Sabbath School Lesson Quarterly."

Since then, he has had over forty articles and five stories pub- lished. Most of his articles are con- corned with doctrincs or church history. The story of the Catholic church is the topic of the article in the series that Maxwell is in the pro- cess of writing for the Review and Herald. When Maxwell was studying at the seminary, he took a course in newswriting; but since then he has developed a style of his own. Maxwell likes to use description in his writing, and lists three rules which he has tried to follow in his writing. They are (1) have some- thing to say worth saying, (2) say it clearly, and (3) "wing it with words." M a x well feels that denomina- tional editors arc in need of good articles, and cncourages students to "try their hand at writing."

Cameraman Midgley Chucklelogues Union Stan Midgley, camera comedian, will present his chucklelogue, "Colorado, Today and Yesterday," in tho UC auditorium Saturday eve- ning, Nov. 23. A native of California, Midgley graduated from Princeton with a major in Chemistry, and worked for eight years as a chemist. He then began to film and present his chucklelogues. According to a recent press re- lease, the coming chucklelogue will show Colorado today- Pikes Peak, Denver, the Rocky Moun- tains, Mt. of the Holy Cross, and other scenic places. It will also cover some of the colorful Colora- do past, featuring ghost towns, horseless carriages, the famous Gal- loping Goose, and others filmed years ago during the last days of the Narrow Guagcrs. "Midgley is one of the most exciting and humorous film lec- turers," stated William Rankin, chairman of the special produc- tions committee, who had attended two previous chucklelogues pre- sented by Midgley. He also said it was a lucky break that we are ablo to have him here. Rankin said that in addition to tho beauty of the films, Midgley al- so loads them with trick photogra- phy and "gags" and has often been called the comedian with a camera. A brief biography of Midgley re- ferred to him as a "lone-wolf pho- tographer" since he seldom has anyone with him on his filming trips, which are usually taken on a bicycle or in a jeep. Since 1948, he has filmed eight chucklelogues on American and Canadian Sub- jects. G. L. Caviness, acadcmic dean, revealed that Midgley was booked three years in advance. He also stated that Midgley's program is definitely not "high brow" and usually packs a crowd. 19(3rs Outstanding Nebraskan Speaks "The teacher is the most signifi- cant factor of the educational pro- cess," states Dr. Donald O.

He plans to enlarge on what he considers, "education's maximum contribution to the student." (1) "Education is an effort to help human beings better understand other human be- ings." (2) "Education is for all the ages. One of the laws of life is that things change, and the answer to that change is edu- cation." (3) "Students must learn an- swers to questions that grow out of their real life exper- ience."

UNIONITES SERVE BOUND THE WORLD Tongue obsolete Push-button Licker-stamper The cachet, "UNIONITES SERVE ROUND THE WORLD," is now being printed on Union Col- lcge outgoing mail by the new pos- tage meter machine recently pur- chased. The college relations director, Dclmcr Holbrook, feels that this feature of the new machine will be valuable for extending the scope of public relations. All departmental and business mail that goes through tho accounting office will receive the cachet. "The now Pitney-Bowes postage meter machine has several other outstanding features," explained Virgil F. Mayer, accountant and assistant business manager. He said it can either seal the envelope and stamp the postage in one operation or separately. The postage meter carries both a cumulative total and a credit balance. According to Mayer, the machine can seal a hundred envelopes while fivo wero being sealed by hand. This he said is especially useful in distributing the monthly state- ments. Mayer also pointed out that the now machine was time saving for tho post office since the meter mail does not have to be canceled. 2 CLOCK TOWER November 14, 1963 Saturday Night at the (lass Parties Saturday night, Nov. 16, will bo tho first evening of parties planned for tlie recently organized classes.

Eight miles east of Lincoln there is an old barn which has not been used for some time. It has a hay loft which Bill Patton, junior class president, feels will be the perfect place for a "hard times party." Aft- er a hay ride, the students will gather around a bonfire on the side of a hill close to the barn. Games are being planned, and an obstacle course to get to the hay Music Literature Minor New Music Study Plan For the first time a music minor in music literature is being offered at Union College according to Mel- vin S. Hill, professor of music, and the 1963-1964 Bulletin. The new minor in music was de- veloped especially for those who want to gain a knowledge and ap- preciation of the music field but do not plan to teach applied music or to give recitals. In place of the applied instru- mental or vocal music this curricu- lum requires six hours of music history and literature with two more hours of music electives. loft ma)' prove interesting.

Central Union Secondary Educators Reaffirm SDA Purpose of Schools Secondary teachers of the Cen- tral Union will meet at Glenwood Springs, Colorado, Nov. 24-27 to study plans for improving our school systems. The Secondary Educational Con- vention meeting will "reaffirm the purpose of our Seventh-day Ad- ventists schools, and study more deeply how they fit into our world in 1963," according to Elder L. G. Barker, educational secretary of the Central Union Conference of Sev- enth-day Adventists. The main topic under discussion will be the new field of teacher- training being introduced in our school system here at Union Col- lege, and how it will fit into the program of our secondary schools. This in-service training for student practice teachers enables them to go out to our secondary schools for a period of nine weeks, and be a part of the faculty of that school to receive a first hand experience of teaching our youth. The college is working toward accreditation with the National Council Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), which, when approved, will enable our graduates to teach in any one of 30 states without further study in that state. The convention will have eight different study groups to enable the teachers to gain more specific information in their field of teach- ing. Dr. T. S. Geraty, educational secretary of the General Confer- ence will present two papers on "Why Seventh-day Adventist Schools?", and "One Like the Pat- tern." Dr. Henry Kloester from the University of Colorado will speak on reaching and maintaining stand- ards in our schools, and Dr. F. E. Harder of Andrews University will assist in the Bible Study group. Representatives from Union Col- lego will be Dr. Eugene Gascay, instructor in education; Dr. C. L. Gemmell, associate professor in education and psychology; Dr. E. N. Dick, professor of history; Dr. G. E. Caviness, dean of the college; and Elder Delmer Holbrook, direct- or of college relations.

November 14, 1963 CLOCK TOWER 3 Kids, those Aloha shirts won't do in the middle of November. Seated on the tradition loaded rock pile of Union College are a few of our students from Hawoii. (oconu! Palms to College Qualms by Arthur Caviness Take a Hawaiian smiling broadly as he strums his ukulele while watching the breakers roll in on an island beach, and suddenly remove him during the fall or winter months to the relatively "cold" clime of Nebraska and what do you have? Actually all you have is an unreal situation because Hawaiians do not spend all their time relaxing at the beach, but a condition like this almost exists here as not one, but ten Hawaiians are enrolled at Union. With the exception of Paul Ko- bayashi and Sharon Serikaku, none have been on the mainland before and consequently have never seen anything like a Midwestern winter. "In fact," says Vernon Lee, "during the first week of school when the temperature went down to 49°, 1 was never so cold in all my life." It's true. Fifty-four was the lowest it had ever been for him in Ha- waii! Even in these altered circum- stances these happy people remain warm and friendly to those around them. Our own President can vouch for that as he was principal of Ha- waiian Mission Academy during the late 1940's. This indirectly drew some of the I-IMA graduates to Un- ion because some of the faculty knew President Bieber and recom- mended our school on the plains. President Encourages "Also" says Rachel Ajimine, "he took time from his busy schedule to write us, encouraging us to look beyond the Pacific coast to the Col- lege of the Golden Cords." Joanne Han agrees with her on that point and adds, "This idea of Golden Cords for missionaries impressed me very much, too." Since most of these young peo- ple graduated from Hawaiian Mis- sion Academy recently, it would seem likely that they all got toge- ther on this thing and decided to take Union by storm this year, knowing they had friends from home to rely on. This is not the case, however. Most of the deci- sions were made independently but wero affected by the same circum- stances. The Lee twins, Vernon and La- vem, were interested in Union by President Bieber's letter and other factors. Correspondence from Miss Remley, dean of women, and their own reading of "The Inside Story" convinced Anne Horibata and some of the other girls that Union had the high standards they wanted in a college. Thomas Young and Harvey Kilsby had the opportunity to meet some Unionites, both teachers and stu- dents, when the World Tour passed through Hawaii. This too contri- buted to some of the students' in- terest. The coming of Miss McKee, their respected academy teacher, to Un- ion, did not affect any of these students' decisions; because this an- nouncement came as a later surprise. A pastor recommended Union Col- lege to Richard Arakawa while he was going to school in another part of the island of Oahu. He knew of the obstacles the Lee boys had sur- mounted, and this too encouraged him to come to school here. Most of our Hawaiian students are from Oahu, however, Anne is from the big island, Hawaii. Of course, on all the islands tropical fruit is abundant. "You might as well know, we all miss the mango and papayas and pineapples—oh, and rice too." The fellows especially miss the swimming and surfing they used to do. "Besides being the best fun, it's good for your health," affirms Ver- non Lee. You can be sure he will be the first to sign up as soon as Mr. Flemming offers a P. E. class in surfing. Where Are the Flowers? "Even though the campus is very pretty, it seems there are no flowers in this country," says Joanne. "We aways had leis of big beautiful flowers at banquets." "That's true," agrees Anne, "but I prefer corsages." Be that as it may, there are no differences of opinion when it comes to lovely Hawaiian music. One girl mentions, "Our music means much more to us than we realize." "Yes," adds Rachel, "you don't appreciate something like that until /on get away from it." The Saturday night of MV week- end, the Lee boys, Harvey Kilsby, and some of the others got out their ukeleles and performed fordif- ferent groups. "But this isn't the only time we sing," they empha- sized. "We sing just because we feel like it sometimes." "We like to spend some of our cree time reminiscing about home," mentions Joanne, "but that doesn't mean we aren't going to make the most of our stay here." Fun in the snow "That's for sure," says Anne. "I'm going to be the first one out there next winter to start a snow ball fight." "And I'll build the first snow man," laughs Rachel. These Hawaiian Islanders bring varied work experience with them to Union. Harvey Kilsby has work- ed at a big hotel near Waikiki Beach and also at the school. At one time last summer he even worked as a "scab" in a factory while many of his fellow workers were on strike. Thomas Young, the only one of the group who is of the Hawaiian race, has worked in a shipyard before coming across to the Mainland. The future holds many possibil- ities for these young people. Rich- ard, for one, aims to return in service to the country of his birth, Japan. All these fine students have the will and temperament to succeed and will eventually use their education gained here for the good of others. Cadet Teachers Taste The Sweets and Sours Three academies supply the set- ting for 10 Union College youth to do their student teaching first semester of this year. Dr. S. Eugene Gascay, instructor in education, directs the new pro- gram of student teaching which is altered somewhat from the pro- gram in past years. A nine week concentrated period of study is instituted with educational courses offered in the nine week period. Thus nine weeks of the semester remain open entirely to student teaching. Three of the 10 students are following this program completely and will be practice teaching in academies away from Lincoln. Rachel Meyerholtz, an English major, and Evelyn Bird, a religion major, will be student teaching at Maplewood Academy. Ellen Can- nard, a home economics major, student teaches at Campion Acad- emy. Each student tcacher is required to spend nine weeks time in a total teaching situation or spend 18 weeks in half day situations. This involves a complete picture of teaching, including faculty meet- ings and school activities. They teach in both their major and minor fields with about two-thirds of the time spent on their major field of concentration. The students who will be stay- ing in Lincoln will be doing most of their student teaching at College View Academy. Anne Hermanson, Pat Christman, English majors; Malcolm Caviness, Harold Wil- liams, mathematics majors; Harry Bennet, Jerry Lang, music majors; and Harriet Olsen, home economics major are those doing student teaching for the 18 week period. Holbrook Conducts Public School Forum Today's trends in Latin Ameri- can education was the theme of a talk presented to the Public School Forum, recently by Delmer W. Holbrook, director of college rela- tions. The Public School Forum is a once-a-month session designed to help public school teachers and administrative officials in the Lin- coln area keep up-to-date and alert in their fields. Mr. Holbrook's talk was based upon 10 years of experience in Latin America and 3 years of re- search at the University of Ne- braska where he is writing his dissertation in this area. Holbrook said that as Americans, wc can do much to help Latin America's educational system, but we must not attempt to force her to adopt our system, rather we should help her to make her own system more efficient. "If we are going to help, we must start with the universities rather than the elementary schools," said Holbrook. This would enable tho graduate students to train teachers for the elementary and secondary stages. Flagball Waltzers End Reg ular Season Anti-freeze and Earmuffs Herald Gym Take the sure-handed receiving of Gaylord Klein and Gene John- son, add the passing of Dean (Feet) Simpson, throw in the swift running of Kent Seltman and Dave Job, and you have the formula that equals winning football. And that's just what they did, for in the clos- est, most evenly balanced and ex- citing football league Union Col- lege has seen in many a season, Klein's team finished the schedule with a 5-1-1 record and the cham- pionship. Just as perfect as the weather had been for grid-iron action, the race for the first place was just as close, for the final league standings weren't decided until the season's last whistle had blown. Achord, Gnadt, and Longhofer, 3 teams that still had an outside chance for the crown, went into the final round with their hopes pinned on Scott upsetting Klein. But Klein won 20- 6 and clinched the top spot. Still Longhofer could tie Klein if Newt's team could beat Achord (battling for second place) and Scott. Meanwhile Gnadt's second place hopes dissappeared in a de- feat at the hands of Olson, sinking Pitcben Paul to fourth place, but only for 48 hours even though Gnadt's schedule was completed. Longhofer and Achord fought to a 6 - 6 tie, giving Achord sole pos- session of second place, and the next day when Scott upset Long- hofer 14-12 in the league finale, it shoved Gnadt up to third place and Newt settled in fourth.

This is the layman's thesis. But is this pseudo-intellectual observation valid? (1) What is good? Is there a standard written achieve- ment test? Is translation the only passing score? What is good education? (2) Has anyone who has made this observation attended both institutions and made an objective study on the subject? Or do personality, financial, environmental and spiritual factors make their opinions subjective? (3) Does an academy student make poorer grades at Union than his high school classmate? We reply— (1) The crux of our system is the harmonious develop- ment of body, mind and soul. Can a conscientious Christian refute that as the standard? (2) We do not know of such a study. (3) Not necessarily-About one fourth of our students are high school graduates. Each spring usually 29 to 30 per cent of the honor students are high school grads. But the lower level of high school students are not encouraged to attend college-a higher percentage of academy graduates make it here-so this may explain the difference. Is our education second rate? We have in both our text books and libraries the same facts-but the student in each case must dig. But we have God as faculty student advisor- we must listen if we will benefit. Light From Darkness "And God said, let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." Union College, November 11, 8:45 p.m. And the lights went out. Manv people feeling the thrill of childhood terror looked into the blackest night of their lives. At the library, a so-called meeting place of scholars, man revolved into an evolutionist's daydream. Suddenly the campus ran rampant with all types of missing-links. It has often been said, truthfully, what man does not understand, that is what he fears most. November 10-16 is National Education Week. To be- come educated is to gain understanding. We want to under- stand one thing-why is there more thrill in a dark night-time black out than in a day-time intellectual light up? Stolen Hubcap Evangelism "What have they seen in thine house?" Isaiah 39:4. Last weekend an actively interested student of Seventh- day Adventism visited our campus. His hubcaps were stolen. He saw several unkept rooms in South Hall. He liked the general studentry and program of the college. Did college students steal the hubcaps? Maybe not? But they are gone. Those rooms were dirty. Will he be back for school second semester? What's your guess? What's your part in his answer? "I'm afraid that you've got o loose screw." PEN PREVIEW FICTION—Milk in a Whisks?

President Kennedy's $1.5 billion aid to education program has sharpened public interest and brightened eyes of many would-be recipients around the country. Again and again this subject is showing its head around the Seventh-day Adventist circle. Often, we are hearing the words, "Well wc are paying for it, so we might as well get our share too." This is a dangerous attitude that is beginning to permeate the thoughts of some church leaders. We don't have our hands outstretched yet, but there is a peculiar gleam in the eyes of some church brethren. It appears almost like wishful thinking. A prominent educator on this campus and an opponent of any aid, cash or otherwise, recently stated, "We are standing in a twi- light zone where our vision is blurred and thinking rather fuddled. We arc wandering after the beast but have mistaken its shadow for that of our fellows." On the question we need to be total abstainers and avoid such thoughts as if it were a plague. "We need to stop before we begin" and examine our thought in the light of our stand on separation of church and state. There are pressures from all sides and many logical arguments being brought to bear upon the opponents of Federal-aid, but these should not be allowed to confuse our thinking. It is true that there is a financial shortage in the educational world today. This lack of funds affects Seventh-day Adventists as weil as other private school systems. But for this church to accept any public money for any purpose will be a direct violation of our inherited belief in complete separation of the secular and the religious. When we begin to violate that belief, then we are chopping off the legs of our religious Liberty platform, and that puts us in the same category with the other vacillating groups. Our system of education has been said to have two purposes: to train workers for the field, and spread this gospel. These are two purely religious goals which our conscience would never allow us to believe would be valid for public funds to help us achieve. "It's not the principle involved, but the power of the purse" that is swaying the minds of men. This is a money conscious world and everyone is bowing to the hand that gives the most to their cause. The dissenters of Federal-aid are growing weaker with time, and if they ever succumb, we will commence the battle of church rights as we are now witnessing the historic squabble for state's rights. It has been an inescapable axium of history, that with Caesar's money comes Caesar's control. Many times die two powers do not agree 011 how the aid should be used—thus the conflict. I think today the church proper faces a moral temptation, much the same type that confronts the individual Christian. The temptations are growing more attractive, and the dollar sigus are getting larger. The aid has grown from surplus food for children's lunches, and text books, to outfitting complete science laboratories. Our appetites have been whetted and now the allurement grows even more tempting. Will we in the future be constructing complete buildings and paying teacher's salaries from government funds? Accepl millions from benevolent givers, but not one penny from Caesar. been those who believe that master ho does This fa not because the; arc full of difficult concepts. It is be- cause they are mainly valuable as depictions of "the way life is" and writers have sometimes been justi- fied for some great purpose. Let us examine these positions. This question is still a live one, even unti, have experienced quite a though fiction may be declining bit of life you cannot recognize this in popularity. Jesus used fiction. He told a talc which is ludicrous if taken literally about a rich man, known to tradition as Dives, and a poor man whom he called Lazarus. His purpose in telling this story was to illustrate the point that one's de- cisions for salvation must be made in this earthly life on the basis of the evidence of the Scriptures. Judgment by examples A blanket condemnation of fic- tion will have to condemn Jesus at this point. This story is only a small part of Jesus' teachings, but it is certainly true that fiction played a small part in communi- cating his message. Every person who has read Pil- grim's Progress has known that the A mature student can read these works for recreation and enrich- ment. Now to recommend two works of non-fiction.

Each yoar at registration we are confronted with a blanket charge known as an activity fee. Campus publications (sponsored by this lund) are very worthy projects and apparently are handled satis- factorily, but I am grossly dissatis- fied with the result of money ex- pended on Saturday night "enter- tainments." An overwhelming proportion of tlieso evening affairs have been directed toward "cultural" stimula- tion. This has come in the past and, unless something can be done in the future, will continue to come at a price unauthorized by public opinion. I understand that many of these programs have been economical but I am amazed at the phenom- enal fee paid to some performers who have been financed at a gen- eral loss to the students of Union College, as evidenced by the wholesale lack of attendance. After a long hard week of study- ing and filling cultural cups stu- dents are in no mood to spend hours listening to long-haired music. We try to keep our pro-, grams balanced but this is obvi- ously the limit of unbalance. I think that more diversified pro- grams arc in order. I can not help but believe that these opinions express (although inadequately) a general undercurrent of feeling with the majority. If this is the case may the banner be carried forward for the rights of the ma- jority, and let the minority campus group find their own recreation on Saturday nights as many of us have had to do in the past. If this is a minority opinion, I concede. Most concernedly, Herb Sorensen
