Schneider- and Ken Lawson, will be featured in tomorrow night's Alumni Band concert. There will be no admission charge for the program which will be held at 8:30 p.m. in the college auditorium. Dennis Schneider is the associate professor of brass instruments at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. He plays first trumpet with the Omaha and Lincoln symphonies and has appeared with other groups throughout the midwest. Mr. Schneider will play two kinds of trumpets and a post-horn. His selections will be largely classical. A Union student, Ken Lawson, will accompany the band in George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." Ken, a sophomore pre-med major, has had several musical successes and has won the Mozart piano competition. Ken has also played with the Pueblo symphony. His performance of "Rhapsody" on the band tour through Colorado was "en- thusiastically received by the audiences," according to Mr. Dan Shultz, band director. Other selections for the concert will include "Study in Steel," a contemporary portrayal of the activities of a steel mill. "Belshazzar's Feast," a musical rendition of a Biblical event, will also be performed. This piece was written by C. J. Hall. Dave Christenson, a junior music education major, will direct "Burlesk for Band." Mr. Shultz commented that this has been one of the more exciting years for the college band, and he hopes that this concert will give the band an opportunity to share their enthusiasm with the audience and Alumni. Groundbreaking for the new administration building will highlight Alumni Homecoming this year. The homecoming, April 12-14, will honor the classes of 1923, 1948 and 1963. Students in these graduating classes, who graduated 50, 25 and ten years ago, will receive free tickets to all events and ac- commodations in Prescott Hall, according to Eunice Christensen, Alumni secretary. Many other former students, graduates and staff will also be attending Alumni Homecoming. The weekend will start officially Thursday night when there will be a Homecoming Banquet. Honors Convocation The yearly Honors Convocation will be held in the auditorium Friday morning at 10:15. This is for all students who have a grade point average of 3.0 or above during the preceding two semesters. Sections in the front will be roped off for the 239 students to be honored. After opening remarks by Dr. Brown and Dean Rowland, the address will be given by Dr. D. W Holbrook, president of Home Study Institute, class of '46. His subject will be, "The Mission of the Chur- ch." Golden Shovels The highlight of the Alumni Homecoming, the groundbreaking ceremony for the new ad- ministration building, will begin at 11:30. After a prelude by the College Wind Ensemble, Dr. Brown will introduce the speakers, and Dr. Bresee will offer an invocation. Dr. Dick will present a talk en- titled "Retrospect," giving the history of plans for a new ad building. Elder R. H.

Fike, it depicts the beginning of the first student missionary band at Union College and the first Golden Cord device. The pageant, a multi-media presentation, is called "of Parker's Dream and Silkateen." According to Mr. Fike, "Mrs. Dick has written another fine script which gives a historical yet human look at Union s past." The three scenes are placed in a Union College dorm of 1892, a registrar's office of 1905, and a present day mission field. Norman Finch will narrate the pageant, and the actors will be Frank Home, Jerry Nowack, Jim Wirth, Jay Pearce, Roy Nelson, Bob Mason, Donna Rass, Myrna Swayze, and Kathy Boaz. Dan Bonjour, Gary Reece, and Ed Christian will handle the lights, sound, and scenery. Following the pageant the new student missionaries will be in- troduced. The Golden Cord device hanging above the stage will be lowered and cords will be hung on it for those Union College Alumni who went to the mission field this year.

The dance is called "Pandanggo Sa Haw." (see story on page two) ^pp ] 5lQ73 LINCOLN, NEBRAS 2 CLOCK TOWER April 6, 1973 in our humble opinion Those were the days! Because this issue of the paper is a special commemorative edition in honor of the alumni and the new ad building, the CT staff got together and did a little bit of snooping. We went through some old issues of the Clock Tower and tried to locate some old articles about alumni who will be honored this year. The classes of 1928, 1948 and 1963 are being honored this year, and we managed to find a few articles in old Clock Towers about some former students who we know will be on campus this weekend. Some of these former students are now working on campus and some will be here just for this visit. Alumni, here's to you. Morton Juberg, class of '48, was the famous author of a front page column in the 1946 Clock Tower. Some of the topics he discussed in this column were: "Footnotes Furnish Fears For Failing," "Physical Fitness Phobias Are Phony," "Pressing Pants Proves Perplexing," and "Why Won't Women Wear Whiskers." Too bad we didn't have him on this year's CT staff! Mr. Juberg will be on campus this weekend for the groundbreaking ceremony. The CT snoops also discovered that today's convocation speaker, D. W. Holbrook, class of '46, was the first director of college relations at Union. We found this story in a 1963 issue of the Clock Tower. "A director of college relations office was approved by the Union College board in session March 12, announced President D. J. Bieber." Another front page story in the 1948 Clock Tower had this to say about the senior class party: "The seniors, fifty strong, had the party in the library. Included in their activities were three films and two humorous readings given by Bill Rankin (class of '48). They also played games and it is interesting to note that the single couples beat the married couples in the 'match-box' game. There was plenty to eat: ice cream, cake and 'Jorgensen Punch.' According to Byron Blecha, class president, the punch was 'good stuff.' " Those of you who have classes from Dr. Bill Rankin should ask him about his humorous readings, and since Byron Blecha will be visiting on campus this weekend, someone should ask him about that "Jorgensen Punch." In the May 20 issue of the 1948 Clock Tower we found the following story about Mr. Arthur Hauck. "Art Hauck (class of '48) was the winner of the 1948 Tem- perance orations sponsored by the UC chapter of the American Temperance Society. First prize was $25. Mr. Hauck pictured the debasing influence which liquor has on the human race, and he placed a definite challenge before his hearers in saying, "There is the picture; there is the problem; there is the challenge. What are you going to do about it?" Perhaps it is only coincidental but Mr. Hauck is currently the chairman of the Speech-Communications department at Union. Besides these news notes, we also found the following eye- catching headlines in some 1948 and 1963 Clock Towers. "Highest September Enrollment in History Nears 1000 Mark" "Leap Year Banquet Honors Men" "20 Judges Choose Courtesy King and Queen" "Union enrolls 886 as dorms overflow" "Simple Martian Math Blopping and Blobbing" "Fag Fighter McFarland Tells Famed 5-day Plan" Without a doubt, those were the days! We take this occasion to welcome these former students back to Union for this weekend. We also want to express our appreciation to the Alumni and other people who have worked so very hard to make this weekend a double feature. The groundbreaking ceremony for the new ad- ministration building marks another great in Union's history and it will bring back many memories to all for years to come. J.V.

I'm so tired of my schedule, Jesus, and I want so badly to chuck it all and just do nothing for awhile. It wasn't even easy getting out of bed this morning. How I hate getting up anyway, but these 7:00 classes everyday are sickening. The morning light blinds my eyes and almost repulses me as I think of the endless tasks that lay before me. I took two tests today that I hadn't studied half enough for. Tomorrow I have one more to take and two make-up tests and two papers to have done by Sunday. My mind is filled with these un- finished tasks, and I can't see my way clear. Please divide them up in my mind's eye so I can at least begin to see myself finishing them one by one. I wonder so often what I'm doing at this place, knocking myself out day after day when the rewards for doing it all seem so far in the future. I want to finish school and I know in the long run I'll be a better person for it, so please give me the determination to go on. Take the trivial questions and worries out of my mind so I can concentrate on my school work. This close to the end of the school year everything is so hectic and frustrating. I start to worry so often about how I'm going to get things done and still do as well as I'd like to with them. Then I worry about being frustrated as a result of my original worry and end up more and more frustrated. Make me realize that worrying about doing things isn't going to get them done. It only wastes my time. Help me to be better organized and to use my time more wisely. When I have to study and would rather go to the park and play with my Frisbey or go to the University and play tennis, help me to realize the importance of disciplining myself to do first things first. Help me to learn that everything in life, including school can only be done one step at a time. And above all, push me to see the needs of others; help me to help them fulfill their desires and maybe then my own problems will seem smaller and my own self-pity will die. Thank you God. V.W. Consider this . . . "We are becoming a race of watchers, not of doers. The miraculous powers that are yet to come may well prove more than our self- discipline can withstand. If this is so, then the epitaph of our race should read, in fleeting, fluorescent letters: Whom the Gods would destroy, they first give TV.—Arthur C. Clarke. Campout was held by Union for Christ by Bonnie Burgeson Jake Duran, ex-marine now min- ister, teacher, and principal from Camarillo, Cal., devoted his time at the "Union for Christ" Bible Camp to "recruiting as agents Christians who will reveal God's character completely to the world through the power of the Holy Spirit." Power and victory and guidance were sought after as the experience of Pentecost was studied last weekend at Camp Arrowhead. Unity with God was reached for Friday evening and promises for forgiveness and conformity to God's will were claimed. (White covered fields and trees in the night was an exciting reminder in the morning that lives had been covered as well.) Unity with each other because of oneness with God was contemplated on and asked for on Sabbath morn- ing as a prerequisite for the Holy Spirit's promised coming. Around the candlelit cross at the close of the Sabbath, "in one ac- cord," brothers and sisters of Christ's family knelt before one another expressing willingness to serve as well as to pray for each other. Sitting around the cross eating Christ's body and drinking His blood proved to be a humbling and meaningful experience. Elder Ponder's song, "every thorn in His crown was my sin," expressed a sense of personal responsibility for Christ's suffering felt by many. Many responded by sharing renewed confidence that God "will do what He says He will do," and personal gratitude for individual assurance of acceptance and vic- tory. As candles burned low their reluctance to finally flicker out paralleled the expressed desire to linger for as long as possible around the cross. At the top of the cross was an empty chair to which Jesus had been invited. The longing was expressed for the time when Christ's part in the supper will be visible, his portion no longer left untouched. Elder Duran invited Unionites to meet with him in the southeast corner of the New Jerusalem soon after reaching Heaven for a special reunion. He was later invited to join Unionites who have been planning to join the Singspiration on the west side of the Tree of Life with Jesus as song leader. (An agreement was made to schedule the events so that both can be attended.) Throughout the weekend at Camp Arrowhead those who had "come apart together" expressed their willingness to be filled with the Holy Spirit by singing "There's a sweet, sweet spirit in this place, and I know that it's the spirit of the Lord." The song became more than words to a tune. Those who listened— heard. They praised God that their experience didn't have to be limited to Camp Arrowhead, that any others who will listen will hear, too. Former Nazi to speak Maria Anne Hirschmann, author of the book, I Changed Gods, will speak during Alumni Weekend at Maplewood Academy, April 21. She was "brain-washed" while being trained in Prague to be a Hitler youth leader, and later was sent to a Communist labor camp in the interior of Bohemia.

Each year cords are hung for those who have either at- tended or taught at Union College and have gone as missionaries to other countries. Tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the college gymnasium this year's ceremony, the 67th, will be held. Mrs. Opal Wheeler Dick has written a pageant which will give the history of the hanging of the cords, not always golden. The pageant, "Of Parker's Dream and Silkateen," will be directed by Mr. Duane Fike, assistant professor of English. Nationals featured The evening's music will be played by the college orchestra. Nationals from each country where there are now Union College student missionaries serving will take up the offering. These persons will be dressed in the native costume and carry a flag from his country. Before taking the offering they will meet in the middle of the stage and exchange flags. Four returned student missionaries will hang the cords. Three of these students—Don Hilliard, Connie Gerst and Louise Morrow—will graduate this year. The fourth, Mark Johnson, will graduate in '74. A person must serve at least nine months as a missionary in order to qualify for a golden cord. Graduates, attending students but not graduated, teachers, husbands or wives or both if they have at- tended here qualify for this honor. Twenty-nine cords will be hung this year. Already 1039 cords have united missionaries with the college. After each cord is put in place, a piece is snipped from it and sent to the respective missionaries. Student Missionaries Several missionaries will be honored tonight. Bonnie Jean Gulka, who last attended Union in 1972, is a nurse at the Masanga Leprosarium in Sierra Leone in West Africa.
