outer VOL. XXXII UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, AUGUST 2, 1959 NO. 19 Union Expected to Feel National College Influx South Hall Receives New Addition Greenhouse Opens New Area of Research for UC Student Botanists A small but well-equipped green- house is being erected on the Union College campus on the southeast corner of Prescott and forty-eighth as an addition to the Biology De- partment laboratory facilities. To- tal cost will be $3000, drawn from Departmental equipment funds. The botany classes will benefit chiefly by it. Plant materials for laboratories can be grown when needed, and student and possible staff research projects will be car- ried out. Several types of controlled plant growth conditions can be sim- ulated. "The plant sciences cannot be taught adequately without a green- house," Mr. Rowland, head of the Biology Department, and the one responsible for the plan, explained. He will be in charge of its opera- tion. "I feel," he said, "that that corner will be made into a most in- teresting and attractive feature of the Union College campus." The area behind the greenhouse will be devoted to the experimental planting of perennials (such as native grasses) which are adapted to survival in this climate. The structure has an aluminum frame without internal supports. It has curved eaves and compressed air. Thermostats control the vents and hot-water heating system for year-round even temperature con- trol. Supplementary lights will lengthen the short winter days. It will be ready for use with the beginning of the fall term. Mr. Row- land intends to add another sec- tion to the east end of the pres- ent location as soon as funds are available. If present indications can be re- lied upon, Union College's enroll- ment for the 1959-60 school year should show an appreciable gain over last year. College population, in general, is on the increase, and Union may be sharing in the influx of new stu- dents. At any rate, when registra- tion time comes this fall, both new and "old" students will push the total higher, it is estimated. Reports from college staff mem- bers acting as admission counsel- lors this summer .point toward a definite increase in interest and enthusiasm for the coming school year. Dr. J. Wesley Rhodes reports that prospects in North Dakota are "above last year" and for Minne- sota, "equal or above last year." In a telephone message from Elder Sydney Allen in Kansas, he states, ". . . . morale of prospective students very high some of the best young people in the middle west." By this time, a large number of prospective students, as well as those of last year's student body, have been visited by the admission counsellors in their states. Up-com- ing camp meetings will provide op- portunity for further contacts. Art Department Fires With New Paragan Kiln A new $80 Paragan electric kiln has been purchased for the ait de- partment. Temperature inside the kiln reaches 2,300 degrees and is used for porcelin and clay. Firing produces a glass-like finish on the articles. According to Mrs. Cadwallader, head of the department, the crafts class has been modeling their own clay models without molds and firing them in the new kiln. Mr. Neil Rowland, Biology Deportment head, anticipates the completion of the new greenhouse, as he stands on the threshold and looks through the figurative open door to research. Bieber, Caviness Attend Convention at La Sierra President Bieber left June 25 for New Mexico, where he attended camp-meeting. After his vacation he will attend a Convention of Col- lege Administrators at La Sierra College were he will be joined by Dean Caviness, Dr. Welch, Miss Anderson, Mrs. Dickinson, and the resident deans. After the convention the president will be in Wyoming contacting prospective students and doing other promotion work for the college. Dr. George L. Caviness, Academ- ic Dean of Union College, left the campus also, several weeks ago for the convention at La Sierra. His plans include a vacation before re- suming duties here on the Union College campus. Newkirk to be New Academy Administrator Clifford L. Newkirk, 1954 gradu- ate of Union College, is to be prin- cipal of Union College Academy this coming school year. Newkirk, former principal of the Junior Academy in St. Louis, Missouri, was also accountant of Sunnydale Academy for a number of years. Now holding a degree in Business Administration and Education, ap- pointed Principal Newkirk antici- pates the completion of a Masters degree in Business Administration in the summer of 1960. His son, Clifford, will be a sopho- more at Union College this coming school year. Students help loy brick and construct concrete supports on the new South Hall wing. Plans arc progressing toward its completion in September, 1960. Union Awards 14 Degrees Aug. 7 Thirteen summer school seniors will become eligible for degrees in eight major fields with the close of the summer session August 7. Gordon To Be AUC's Student Affairs Dean Elder and Mrs. Calvin G. Gordon have accepted appointment:; to the staff of Atiai..';ic Union College for the coming school year. Elder Gor- don will be Dean of Student Affairs there and may be teaching some classes in the Religion Department. Mrs. Gordon will teach Home Ec- onomics in both the academy and college. This past school year Elder Gor- don has been attending the Uni- versity of Nebraska in order to ob- tain his doctor's degree. Although the major part of his work is fin- ished, he plans to return next summer to complete it. The Gordon's will leave approxi- mately August 10 after Mrs. Gor- don finishes her teaching program for the summer. She has been teaching English and Mathematics in the academy summer school.

Polio Shots Given July 9 On July 9, Dr. Marcotte gave polio shots to 111 people at Union's at- tempt to help avert the polio epi- demic. Fifteen cases of polio have been reported in the Lincoln area this summer precipitating the in- oculation. Due to the fact that seemingly so few participated in the polio in- oculation, it is advised that those who haven't had their shots should get them. The new addition to the north end of South Hall is progressing as scheduled, according to Ned Saun- ders, construction superintendent. The wing running east and west will complete the plans laid for the building in 1951, changing it from its present L shape into a U shaped building. The construction on South Hall, interrupted in 1954, was resumed this summer and already the foot- ings are poured and the founda- tions completed. The structural steel framing is assembled up to the first floor of the present struc- ture. In an effort to maintain a structure of homogeneous appear- ance, the bricking now being laid, Old Virginia facing brick, is the same as that applied to the older construction. It is planned that the addition will be identical in window placing and general ex- ternal appearance to that of the present building. The new wing will provide forty- six new rooms housing ninety-two young men on the three top floors. Each room will be completely fur- nished with a sink, beds, desks, etc. It has not been finalized as to whether the rooms wil be completed like those in Rees Hall, or whether they will be similar to those now used by the South Hall residents. The new addition will also provide permanent quarters for an infirm- ary for the men. In accordance with the original plans, the ground floor of the new wing will be equipped for the col- lege cafeteria's kitchen. The po- sition of the dining room will re- main unchanged. This arrangement leaves the ground floor of the south wing va- cant, and available for its original purpose, which demands remodel- ing for use as the men's worship room. There will be no longer a need for the young men to meet for worship in the administration building chapel. With the help of the thirteen stu- dent workers who have been em- ployed for construction this sum- mer along with others, Mr. Saunders hopes to be working inside by win- ter. It is also hoped that the new addition will be ready for use by September, 1960. Roacl To Be Completed Tkis Week The completion of the new road behind the campus is scheduled to become a reality sometime this week. The final addition to the pro- ject begun in the '57-'58 school year will extend the hard surface road from the vicinity of the laun- dry to the north entrance of the campus. According to Mr. V. S. Dunn, Un- ion College Business Manager, the $8500 project contracted with Thompson Brothers Construction Company of Lincoln, will not only beautify and improve the grounds, but also add "tlf^Qt^d^OTLliBGE space behind Rees pah rrhe^Dro- ject has been contr^en'sITuSrfhis spring, but construction has been delayed because of jifeliiu LINCOLN. NEBRASKA 73It id 3d li^nion ~7jhe 3ndu3trial... Union College is endeavoring to make it possible for as many of our people as desire to attend this Christian institution. Because of this they have established several industries within the area of this campus. Union College Press The College Press is making contribution to Christian education by providing work for a number of students. Because this year is a record year in this industry, they are looking forward to unprecedented improvements; namely a new folding machine in the very near future. This purchase will save time and contribute to efficiency. Capital City Bookbindery Better business, expansion of floor space, new ma- chinery, and more student employees characterize the fu- ture plans of the Capital City Bookbindery. This growing industry makes it possible for students to gain experience in working while providing an opportunity for financial assistance. s M I S Lincoln Broom Works Offering work experience for approximately twenty or twenty-five full and part time employees, the broom- shop has become an important industry on our campus. Skill and concentration are necessary for winding, sort- ing, stitching, painting, and bunching because the empha- sis is 011 producing good brooms. & m*. , »-«v • • •*>.••.» J" V til ,.w •• »- .* >*Ml£ V fL, Wf, flB^WW '• *M> MMKM IMtf -A.?*..'.. *Ml College Furniture Manufacturers With a crew of some sixty workers, the Furniture Factory is maintaining full production and filling its ware- house to capacity. Helping to make this possible is their new electronic gluing machine which was built especially to meet their needs. They are now able to glue-up, as- semble for press, and dry by electronic means a b o u t twenty-four square feet per minute, at maximum opera- tion. Z)he Scholastic... Scholastically Union College ranks with the best. Of- fering degrees in 16 major fields its curriculum is well rounded in the Christian education of those whose goal surpasses the transitory. Starring in the new Home Economics department is t h e foods laboratory w here the delicacies that boast mouth-watering fragrance become a reality. This depart- ment is offering, in addition to its former curriculum, for the first time this fall, Dietary Meal Management and Demonstration Precedures. The self explanatory subject, English, displayed in all its usefulness, is the medium for communication in all phases of life. From a knowledge of the skillful use of English comes the mastering of all other subjects offered on college campus. From the English department comes the technical know how for the college's publications, the GOLDEN CORDS and the CLOCK TOWER. Dominating the realms of undefined odors, explo- sions, and precipitates is the Chemistry department in all its resplendent knowledge. Offering more headaches to the average student than can be described on paper, it excels in research, in long assignments and in impossible hour exams. This department, one of the strongest on the campus among the denominational colleges, offers pre- paratory work to students desiring to enter medicine, dentistry, etc. Since one of the main phases of Union College's life is the spiritual emphasis given to living, the Religion de- partment offers students the opportunity of delving deeply into the higher things of life. Offering many students the calling to the ministry, it helps with the Student Week of Prayer, sponsors a student conference, and conducts meet- ings of its Ministerial Association. At Union, knowledge is respected, scholarship en- couraged, initiative stimulated, and intelligence chal- lenged. O God, Thou hast appointed me to watch over the life and death of Thy creatures; Here I am ready for my vocation. 0 stand by me, my God, in this truly important task; Grant me success! for— Without Thy loving counsel and support Man can avail naught. Inspire me with true love for this my art And for Thy creatures. O strengthen me. Grant energy unto both body and soul That I may e'er unhindered, ready be To mitigate the woes, Sustain and help The rich and poor, the good and bad, enemy and friend. < 111 • ! |'i , I'iu \ % 1HH Z)he J^ecreationaL... Recreation is the re-creation of those tilings which make optomists of pessimists, and youth of old age. Time wisely spent in recreational activities assets the building of a well rounded personality. While development of intel- lectual and spiritual powers are provided for scholastically, physical powers are expanded through social enjoyment. What about making ice cream? Stop and consider the previous sentence and note the physical expansion involved. In the spread room of Rees Hall, facilities are available for parties, informal get togethers and enjoyable times in experimental home cooking. In the recreation room, friends meet together and play ping-pong, shuf- fleboard, or quieter table games. The art of conversation is practiced freely and ties between friends are strengthened until bonds are formed that are never broken. Knowing the true meaning of sociability, the students have ample opportunity to expand in this phase of living. Nestled in a literal grove of greenry which is the beauty of the front campus, will be found students discussing the latest Quant, test, the World Series, or the value of Play- ground Activities. After dinner and supper these groups evolve out of nowhere and melt into work assignments and worship hours. Morning hours spent in vigorous activity on the tennis court with a friend may recall strained muscles or burning sunburns but to the student with a bent toward active exer- cise it offers the maximum in satisfaction. Or is it the skill obtained in coordination and balance that lends toward the goal of living? I leave the answer to those who bend the body with the racket in hand and that eager sparkle in the eye. Or perhaps if you prefer the complicated you may try this tandem effect on a bicycle designed for the solitary in- dividual. Contrary to the illusion ot a two-headed monster that may be obtained, this pastime is perfect for those whose personalities may be opposite, including both the industrious and the passive in a sport that is enjoyed by both. So to you Union offers a variety to fit your personality and taste necessity being the mother of invention, guaran- teeing that if it's fun, but not here yet, you may initiate it and soon have a group of followers to match the zeal of your promotion. We believe in enjoyment, why not join us here? Z) he Scenic.. How do you look at U n i o n? What is tliere to see? A thousand different students look at the fa- miliar scenes a thousand different ways. Some look at the building s, shrubs, and trees as separate com- ponents, isolated magistrates of their own particular area; others view landscapes with the eye of photography taking scenery in deep or shallow shot, in close-ups or perhaps with an air of adventure in distant ones flying above the campus, getting the whole picture in one breath-taking display. Yes, this is Union College. Some look for the old, those things eminating memories and tradition, chiefest of which is the clock tower. Some not only look but listen to the familiar tolling in the night, at the noonhour, in the village. It is versatile- welcoming, bidding farewell, saying good night and good morning. Others see only the new. The girls of Rees Hall, and the young men, too, enjoy this newest addition to the campus in all its luxury. Within its walls are harbored the making of Christian women and the memories of many good times together. The careful notice details, a fall- ing leaf, a blushing rose, a tiny squirrel. Someone m a y interrupt to ask how anyone could miss one of Union's friendly little pets in all their insistent begging. This will be left to you to answer as your carefully preserved midnight snack disappears into the stomach of one of nature's miniature miracles. This too is Union College. The thoughtful, the lonely, the romantic, see darkness and lights, feel gravel crunch beneath their feet and breathe deeply of the serene evening air. The world is large and the individual so small that the beauty of simplicity de- scends in the explosive silence of one's own self. Yes, this is Union too. And so, as you look toward Union, think of these things, you too, will see Union in a different manner than all the students before you have, you will remember things that only you have known, you will leave a better man or woman. We'll be seeing you at Union September 7. They will remember the quiet Friday nights singing choruses in front of the fireplace in the first floor lounge, the Christmas parties in Kappa Theta under the big tree, the spring Saturday nites on the army cots on the sun porch. The) will live here, love here, and leave here; yet like old Union of which Rees Hall js a part, retain a part of each experience forever in a se- cluded corner of their hearts. \ II t -'fr-Sa i • you Need Christian Education Now Abraham Lincoln once said, "Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed. Consequently, he who moulds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions. He makes statutes and decis- ions possible or impossible to execute." Those of us who believe in Christian education ought to spend more of our time talking about it. Many good things fall into ruin because they are taken for granted. One reads on occasion, of some building, famous in the making of American history, going into decay. Everyone is proud of the stories that surround the place, but not until it's almost gone beyond recovering does the public wake up to the fact that memorials of heroic deeds can crumble in ruins unless someone cares. We've been preaching Christian education for nearly one hundred years. The preachers, teachers, doctors, missionaries, business leaders who are taught and trained in our own Christian schools, and are de- voted men and women today, all bear witness to the importance of a Christian education. Often we take building for building, teaching staff for teaching staff, endowment for endowment, enrollment for enrollment and in making such comparisons of our schools with those of the world, feel dis- appointed, and let down. But then move into the realm of the spirit- ual and there's no way to compare. Spiritual values are scarcely tallied up in the schools of the world, but in the Christian school, in the Seventh-day Adventist college, academy or grade school, there is the "harmonious development of the physical, and mental and the spiritual powers. It prepares the student for the joy of service in this world and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come." Ed. p. 13. Christian education is education at its best. Knowledge and in- formation passed on in text books and by lectures, can be given its proper evaluation and position of importance in a Christian atmosphere. Without a Christian aproach, theory, imagination, prejudice and deliber- ate fabrication are set forth as facts and believed. Christian youth—seek a Christian education NOW! M. W.

From skating to banquets, from friendly chatter in the halls to attending inspirational meetings in the church, you will find it, and more, at Union. Class discussions are very inter- esting to me. After you have stud- ied a certain thing it is a good idea to talk it over and that is what the classes are designed to do. It seems to me that .one of the biggest problems here at college is keeping up with all the many phas- es of your own life. Never will there be a dull moment for you when you come to college. I have many times heard the statement that col- lege is the busiest time of your life and I believe it, but I hasten to add that it is also an interesting and fun packed time. In all the activities and studies, you are pre- paring a fuller and. better future for yourself. Deans Tour West Deans Hilda Fern Remley and Genevieve Dickerson left on vaca- tion July 7. Their trip consisted of travel throughout the western United States. They visited and camped out at many of the nation- al parks and other national sites: Grand Tetons and Yellowstone, Wyoming; Sun Valley, Idaho; and Lake Tahoe and Sequoia National Forest, California. Their trip took them to the La Sierra campus where they joined other of the denomination's college deans for a Seventh-day Adventist College deans' convention. Miss Remley was one of those respon- sible for the planning of the pro- gram of the convention. From the convention, they wound their way to Colorado where Miss Dickerson, the assistant dean, re- turned to the Union College campus while Miss Remley took a short trip to Texas. She expects to re- turn to Union soon after the mid- dle of August. 6>u Man to Mm. - f • by Merritt Here at good old Union we started July off with a bang! You may be sure that the evening of the fourth was not spent in the customary "there will be activities in the gym" manner. To begin the festivities a revival was held. What did we revive you wonder? The hayride. It wasn't one of these new-fangled modern ones on a flat truck bed either. The points go to Don Bunch and Bruce Powers for pitching in there with the real stuff. I mean, these men from South Hall, got real hay, hayrack and one of those farm machines to drag the outfit with. No . . . they didn't have to drag it all the way, only on a certain portion of the return trip when one of the tires developed a lack of air. The site of the ride was all very fitting to the revival spirit, too—a place out east of the college that in the dark looked like just another cow pasture. According to Bunch it was. Another revival held simultaneously with the first was that of the old fashioned "walk out into the country." When most of its devotees had arrived at this "pretty little cow pasture" as Deacon Andy might say, the program committee commenced to cast some good old fashioned movies on a screen for us. (Some thought they were more old than fashioned. But even they got a big kick out of them.) The producer had gone to the dogs in turning his cartoons out—starring were two mis- chievous puppies. The highlights of the evening were just that. Someone had bought some of these miniature ICBM deals. They all went up in smoke beau- tifully. Truly the "rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air" were a fitting tribute to the men of South Hall whose forefathers made possible our nation's independence. Seriously though, the small misslc display was staged mainly for the benefit of Russia. They need to know that the U.S. really means business. Projection Booth Installed A projection booth, the result of the 1958 Senior Class gift, is under construction at the rear of the bal- cony of the Union College Audi- torium. Part of the project is the installation of a new sound system for the same building. Located in the booth, in addition to the projector, will be a control board which will control the sound and lighting systems. The booth itself is located in the center of the back of the auditor- ium. It is being constructed of fire- resistant materials to accord with required standards. Construction began around the middle of July, and it is expected to be ready for operation by the beginning of the fall term.

Not directly, of course, but the obvious cannot be ignored. More directly, the question is—will there of, the Geneva meeting or will there not be? The United States says, "Wait and see;" the British say, "a summit in spite of, and re- gardless of;" DeGaulle seems more worried over Algeria; and Russia can only yell—"Give me Berlin" out of one side of her mouth and "Peaceful Coexistence" out of the other side. Incidentally, I predict there will be no big four summit unless some measure of success is reached on the lower level at Ge- neva, even though MacMillian does reply that such would only prove greater need of a meeting of the heads. Kozlov smiles his way across the United States in the footsteps of Mikoyan and Andre Gromyko smiles across the iron curtain at the Ge- neva table. Big Mr. Nikita Kruschev pulls Gromyko's strings and talks peace, while behind his back he holds a copy of Manifesto and a potential I.C.B.M. Both Washington and the Kremlin encourage a re- ciprocal exchange of culture and politicians, the result being a de- finite parted curtain of the iron type, mood. But in the midst of the flutter of peace doves let us remember Mr. K's hero, Karl Marx: and Averell Harrimans recent com- ment on the boss of Russia (after • thej:x--governor's session with Ni- "'Tuta) -^shocking, worse than Stal- s'Hri." Averell was "shook" and didn't try to hide the fact. Where does all this leave you and me? That's a good question—have a good an- swer? ^SrSmt^im the local scene, campus wise, we have no earth shocking crisis nor political rumblings. The campus is a veritable green para- dise and student-staff relations proceed near to perfection. Social- ly and intellectually Union is climb- ing high on the collegiate ladder and that ladder is in the middle of expansion and construction. The Central Union is bursting its sus- penders in justifiable pride at the way the modern proverbial ball is rolling. The summer session is seemingly successful. However, with babies in chapel and emphasis everywhere on elementary and secondary educa- tion, we few chemists often feel out of place and wonder if we really belong and why or if it is we that are out of place. But with crucible tongs in one hand and a slide-rule in the other, we follow the crowd and our characteristic odor is lost in the intellectual chaos. So with that (thanking my forefathers for freedom of speech and press) I close. J"1 ST" ^ So they Say... by Stella The summer is leaving us fastly! (I'lease overlook my exuberance in the choice of adverbs, Miss Shull). No one can say summer school does not keep up with the jet-propelled age. The girls of Rees Hall have been having barrels of fun at the Thurs- day evening club time. Let me give you the names of the officers: Joyce Morse, a teacher from Colorado, a little live wire!; her able V.P. is Bettic Wommack. (Gilliam pretty soon), who gets to do everything from blowing balloons up to pulling down the shades in the music hall. (Lest the discipline committee get any ideas, Miss Wommack did this so that we might see some slides better). A new face on the campus, Virginia Eick- enberger (she should be thankful I took German), takes care of the note taking and our small gold pile. Keeping us up with the cultural trend is the vivacious, sun-baked Janet Tucker. I couldn't forget our effervescent chorister, Carole Wagner, and Connie Wells, the pianist, who have us doing everything from singing "When it's spring time in the Rockies" to wiggling our ears and yelling "He haw, he haw." At our last club meeting Mr. John (the hairdresser across the streeti showed us some of his slides of different, and I do mean different hairdos (Uh, do hair dos or does?) and colors. Anyway, after seeing his lovely display of hues, I thought orange would suit my personality, but alas the bookstore doesn't carry orange ink. Now I really must talk about some- thing sensible or "Bethel" shall forget all about the freedom of the press. Mrs. Higgins talked to us about our dress and manners. One time we had a truth or consequences. If you ever need to cut some paper dolls behind your back, see Avis Taylor. Is she ever good at it! To cool us off the social committee rented Pershing auditorium for ice skating. Nothing, absolutely nothing gives you the solid satisfaction of ice skating for the first time. Mysterious things happen in the height of the heat season here at U.C. Lights go on and off in the library, as do blowers; little hair pinned urchins run out of the dorm and call "Go home"; people feed the squirrels at 11 at night; and others just star gaze. Things are not dull around Rees Hall, I assure you. Does anyone have any idea why Dean Caviness' children go around saying, "thud, thud"? And don't tell it, but they don't like milk on their pop corn. If y'all ever want to take an exciting course, do try quantitative analysis from Lee Wilson in the Chemistry Dept. That man has us weighing things to the tenth of a milligram (.0001 gm). He should have to lose weight like some of us and he'd soon forget about tenths of a milligram and start thinking about pounds! Our campus has been playing host to many travelers. Some of the deans from the East are stopping by to take a "peek" at our dorm on their way to the deans' convention in Calif. Incidentally, our two deans are out there too. We kinda miss them; but Nancy McPhail and Betty Loga (the summer deans) are keeping us in step, never fear. Among our guests this month was Mrs. Rochelle Kilgore from AUC, who is on her way home from a trip around the world. She spoke to the girls in worship one night; and, of course, we are all ready to pack up and leave for that European tour next summer. It was nice having Gail Emde on the campus this week-end. (Wasn't it Mr. Dorm Reporter?) Seriously, we all enjoy seeing the "ole" kids from time to time. Why just today Bob Bockmann drove up to the campus. Upon inquiring what the purpose of his visit was, I was informed "Oh, I just thought I'd take a Sunday drive and here I am." Well, "Bethel" informed me this should be 300 words or less. I don't know about the less, but I think I took care of the 300. Incidentally, if all you prospective students would care to have a modest Texan's opinion on UC, and if you promise not to repeat this to Pres. Bieber or Dean Caviness; I'll tell you, "For being outside of Texas, it's great!"
