Speoker Buddy Borris recognizes South Hall representative Dan Fausett at the first meeting of the House of Representativts. House Officers Selected; Werner Is Speaker Pro Tem "The Senate has never vetoed a bill submitted by the House of Rep- resentatives," emphasized Dr. L. W. Welch, dean of student affairs. Speaking to the opening meeting of the 1961-62 session of the House of Representatives, Dr. Welch por- trayed the potential of an active House. "Take initiative to introduce bills," he urged the representatives. '"Lack of initiative and not the Temperance Week Set For Od. 29-Nov. 4 Union College will hold its first Temperance Education Week Oc- tober 29-November 4. Benjamin Bandy, president of the Union College chapter of the Ameri- can Temperance Society, stated, "The project for the week will be twofold. We want to expand our temperance education program in Lincoln, and we want greater stu- dent participation and interest in temperance education." Activities for the week will begin Sunday evening, October 29, with a program in the Union College audi- torium. Dr. Lois Higgins, head of the women's police force of Chicago will be the speaker. Temperance education programs will be given Monday and Friday in chapel. Speakers will be Dr. Carl Davidson, pastor of the first Metho- dist Church In Lincoln, on Monday, and James Scully, director of youth activities of the ATS, on Friday. "The ATS will hold a workshop on Wednesday to enlist and train student temperance education work- ers" said Bandy, "and we hope for a large turnout."

"To create a faith for the coming personal crises" was the objective selected by Elder Desmond Cum- mings, speaker for the fall week of prayer, October 15-21. God, not the week of prayer speaker, is the source of this faith, he said. Only by lifting Christ and his principles before the student can the necessary personal acquain- tance be realized. The speaker, Elder Cummings, has served as the Missionary Vol- unteer secretary of the Southern Union for the past two years. Prior to that he was M.V. secretary of the Washington Conference and M.V. secretary of the Southern Califor- nia Conference. "We are not on a picnic, but a battlefield," said Elder Cummings. "Satan has twisted so many things from good to bad that we lack strength to fight the battle. So, we must go to Christ." 'Faith is the basic element of this Christian life, and faith comes only from prayer and Bible study." Satan is a vigilant foe," he con- tinued, and Satan's perversion of these God-given blessings into cur- ses complicates our attempts to attain the Christian standard, "Be ye holy." God is love, but He is also our Judge, Elder Cummings said. He has given Jesus as our Saviour; however, Jesus cannot be our Sav- iour after judgment has been pro- nounced. "God promised that your sins will find you out," Elder Cummings continued. "He did not spare the angels with Lucifer, and He saved only eight persons out of the entire antediluvian world. Will He save you in sin? The only promise of sin is death." "If you laugh off God's love, the joke is on you," Elder Cummings commented. "Each day comes closer to the end. Does it bring your life closer to God?" God has a burning desire to pour out his fellowship to his followers, the speaker said. The climax of the gospel is the restoration of fellow- ship. The three greatest decisions of life according to Elder Cummings are: one, God's decision to give his son to redeem man; two, Jesus' decision to give his life for man; and three, the individual's decision to give his life to God. "The first two are of no value unless the individual makes the third," he concluded. Elder Cummings now makes his home in Decatur, Georgia, where his wife teaches school. His son Desmond Jr., is a freshman theo- logy major at Southern Missionary College. Candy, his oldest daughter, is a freshman at Atlantic Union Acadmey. Another daughter, Paula is in the fourth grade. "I am impressed with the real joy and friendliness of Union Col- lege student s," he commented "Their school spirit and loyalty are excellent. They have a very whole some appeal which is a real tribute to the parents and also the church organization of the three unions.' Golden Cords Staff Picks Art Editor, (over for '61 Robert Tan, a junior music major from Singapore, has been selected as art editor of the 1962 Golden Cords, according to Ann Silverstein editor-in-chief. The cover design has been selected by the staff under the leadership of Tan. The design that was chosen from the various entries was sub- mitted by James Pastor, a junior history major from Hawaii.

The Home Missionary Department of the church is offering a certifi- cate to those who complete this 10- week course. "They will get some practical experience in this course by participating in the target team project," said Miss Rosalie Haffner, Bible instructor for the College View church. The class, meeting in the base- ment of the church annex, is using, "Training Light Bearers," for their text book. Countdown | Reference Books Will Move In Coming Library Shuffle A current collection of reference books will soon be moved into the brousing room on the second floor of the library. This move is a result of the pres- ent trend toward open stacks, said Miss Floda Smith, college librarian. The removal of periodicals and reference books from the reading room makes space available for an enlarged section on religion. Religious commentaries, religious encyclopedias, concordances, and general religion books will be shelved there because of the great use made of them. "We feel that we will be able to answer reference questions more efficiently and quickly by having the reference collection near the librarians' offices," said Miss Smith.

Butch Fowler was on the receiv- ing end of 2 scoring passes and Buddy Borris latched onto another one, all thrown by John Ridpath. Wayne Judd added to the Panth- ers' miseries with a 15 yard run to paydlrt. Tad Achord and Gaylord Klein caught touchdown passes for the losers. The remaining round 4 games played Sunday, October 15, saw Dan Duff throw touchdown passes to Sheldon Anderson, Matt Tolar, and Don Nlcolay as the Cougers shut out the Rebels 30-0.

Kent and Larry Seltman held onto the extra point aerials that made the difference In the score. Bob Grosboll threw scoring pass- es to Dennis Olson and Bill Huff for the Outcasts, but they failed on their extra point attempts. The Colts continued unbeaten while washing the Panthers title chances down the drain with a 14-8 victory in the opening game of round 5. The Panthers took an early lead when Gaylord Klein caught a touchdown and the extra point pas- ses. The Colts came back on Wayne Rutland's scoring toss to John Koobs and then Rutland opened the sec- ond half by intercepting a pass deep in Panther territory and walk- ing into the end zone with the win- ning tally.

Dean Judges Alternoon Classes 'Success'; Program Permits Additional Morning Work Ninety freshmen are attending 11 afternoon classes this year, reports Dr. G. L. Caviness, academic dean. The afternoon class schedule has been established as a result of a Denver Campus ASB Presents Entertainment for Visitors "Kon Bon Wa" was the greeting received by the guests at the recent "Tea House of the Autumn Moon," presented by the Associated Stu- dent Body of the Denver campus. The setting was a Japanese gar- den under an autumn moon. The event highlighted the freshmen visitation week-end of October 5-8. The program included a pantomime, vocal and instrumental numbers, readings, and dialogues. Elder James Harris of the Colo- rado conference was the master of ceremonies. The production involved almost all of the Denver student body as well as many of the visitors from Keene and Lincoln. "pilot program" conducted during the first semester of last year. A considerably larger number of stu- dents are taking part in the pro- gram this year. Union College Industries employ 60 more students this year as a re- sult of the afternoon class schedule. Much work is now done by fresh- men in the morning. "This program is a result of in- creased enrollment which requires more classroom area and more work availabilities," Dr. Caviness said. "By having classes all day the efficiency of the classrooms and of the industry machinery is greatly increased. I appreciate the part of both teachers and students for will- ingness to try something new." The afternoon classes are add- itional sections of morning classes which makes it possible for the freshmen to take a full class load in the afternoon. Nine different teachers are teach- ing in the afternoons and the av- erage class enrollment is approxi- mately 25.

Spiritual Slump Needless by Elder Desmond Cummings The week of prayer has been accepted as an integral part of our college life. The spiritual tempo of the campus is quickened and the student body experiences new fervency that brings into sharp focus the privilege of fellowship with heaven. This is God's plan for these special weeks of spiritual emphasis. Contrary, however, to His plan is the spiritual slump that seems to inevitably follow in the wake of this joyous experience. The disturbing factor is that many have come to actually anticipate and accept this abortive backlash. Therefore, far too many students suffer a continual see-saw experience. This is a denial of the cleansing, saving power of Jesus and a concept absolutely foreign to the victorious life in Christ. You can be sure that the opostle Paul did not have this type of an ex- perience in mind when he wrote these positive words: "Being con- fident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." Phil. 1:6. "I whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." II Tim. 1:12. Each one of you as individuals has been called (I Cor. 1:9) to fellowship with Him who knows not failure, to "grow up into Him in all things." He longs to turn the stumbling blocks of sin into stepping stones of victory. If you will faithfully come to Jesus' feet in Bible study and prayer continual growth will be your personal joy. Neglect Him and defeat is just as sure. Perplexity or Praise Sometime we struggle so hard reading the music and words to a song that is new to the congregation that it is dificult to think of it as an act of worship. Certainly because the majority of the student body has not sung a song doesn't mean that the song is not excellent in composition. But a beautiful song does not seem so when fear of em- barrassment prevents participation in the singing. Song services seem a better time to learn new songs than the opening song of a more formal convocation. Hearing the song sung would be helpful to those of us learning it. The chorister needn't feel that all the songs must be new. We like some of the "old favorites"—that's how) they became favorites: we sang them often enough that we grew to like them. Not all the suggestions should go to the chorister, though. Perhaps each member of the congregation is at fault when we are step and a half flat or two measures behind the director and the piano.

Stark Reality Fallout Shelter Fad by Ed Starkey In the past few weeks, since the Berlin crisis began, there has been a great deal of commotion over civil defense. Recently President Ken- nedy made a speech in which he stated that "We shall neither be Red nor dead, but aliveand free," if we prepare ourselves with adequate fall- out and blast shelters. This is, to me, a very inspiring statement, and it evidently sounded the same to millions of other people because there is now a thriving industry based on civil defense. The style used to be "hoola-hoops"; now it is fallout shelters. It seems that we can't pass by the autumn season without starting a new fad. The main difference between shelter and a "hoola-hoop" is about ($1500, and I think for that kind of money I will stick with a "hoola- hoop." I hope I can think of better things to do with $1500 than put it in a hole 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 4 feet high. Probablythemain reason I'm not too excited about shelters is that I don't believe we'll get any use out of them, except possibly for a fruit cellar. Both religion and logic tell me there is little or no possibility of an atomic war. No nation is foolish enough to premeditate nuclear war. And my faith tells me that the world will not be allowed to destroy itself by accident or mistake. I think that by getting too involved in this latest and expensive fad we are merely showing a lack of faith. We as Chrlstionas should have more important things to do than build bomb shelters. Prof Gives Secret of Premature Aging; Test Papers Reveal Ingenious Students by A Staff Member It's not always dull work reading test papers, as instructors and their office assistants. Some "howlers" seem inevitable. Here are some of the gems that have amused student readers and have inspired frustration, night- mares, and premature aging for the profs: Tanks versus Cornmeal Question: What sport is a fav- orite American pastime? Student answers: (a) Imperialism, (b) Na- tionalism. Question: What was the purpose of the Civilian Conservation Corps? Student answers: (a) To make Con- gress do what it should, (b) To give food to those who needed it. Question: What was the Lame Duck Amendment? Student answer: Helped unemployment get on its feet. Question: What city in Tunisia is in the news today? Student an- swer: Berlin. Goodbye, Ike Question: Who became Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in the North Atlantic campaign? Student answer: Dewey. "Churchill of Russia" was one of the signers of the Atlantic Charter, believes one. "Denmark Sweden" was the ter- ritory taken from the French by the Japanese in 1940, according to an- other. A depression in Europe resulted when "France didn't let Germany do something," another "scholar" recites. Homogenized? "What is the meaning of 'The shepherd tells his sheep'?" a liter- ature test asks. Student answer: The shepherd milks his sheep. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, ac- cording to another literature stu- dent, was the first newspaper in England. A classmate adds that it was edited or written by Alfred the Great. The teachers from whose classes these "boners" were gleaned report that they also give some A's. Impractical Joker Dear Editor: A beautiful autumn day, perfect for cycling, was closed by a won- derful service during the Week of Prayer. Going to the library for some much-needed study, I parked my bicycle outside, confident of Its security on this Christian campus. However, a short while later I found it hidden In some nearby bushes with its brakes broken. To be loaned its use is a privilege; to borrow without permission is theft; to destroy private property and hide it in shame is a crime! This might be passed off as Just a poor prank, but it is not simply an isolated case of vandalism. This same bicycle was recently taken to the top floor of the boys' dorm, run down the halls, and then dropped out of a window as a climax to the pranksters' fun." Evidences of other kinds of such "fun" have been seen all too frequently on this campus. In this closing hour of earth's history, let the youth of this church lift high its standard of morals and conduct that they may indeed be "the light of the world." Sincerely yours, A fellow student Pseudo-lntellectualism Dear Editor: It is with trepidation that I ven- ture to express my opinions regard- ing campus day, for perchance I might incur the wrath of those who sit on a pedestal or live in the rarl- fied atmosphere of intellectualism and exclusiveness. Therefore with haste must I return to the ground of "plain Anglo-Saxon facts." It is quite apparent that the staff of Union College are as divided In their opinions about Campus Day as are the students. Oh that the staff may in their deliberations de- cide once and for all whether Cam- pus Day should be eliminated or retained! This would be for the ben- efit of us who are bored by the pro- fessors who so enthusiastically ex- pose to pliable minds the "evils and sins" of Campus Day, but who lack the fortitude to voice their beliefs at the appropriate place. Nothing is more demoralizing to the people who were responsible for Campus Day than the scholarly "dissertation" that preceded this day. "A house divided against It- self," if I remember correctly, "can- not stand." To those students who are so con- cerned about being intellectual, I am indebted for this paragraph. It never occurred to me all these years that one came to college exclusively to study. However, I wonder what these intellectual elites did in the matter of increasing intellectually when the rest of us were squander- ing our time in worthless activities. If for want of thought for the next Campus Day, dear elites, what about John Milton's "II Penseroso" for contemplation? May I quote a few lines for our present rumina- tion, "Hence (be gone), vain deluding Joys . . . Dwell in some idle brain. . . . But, hail! thou Goddess sage and holy Hail, divinest Melancholy" The students and more especially the staff members who were willing to stoop down to the level of us Campus Day fans should be highly commended for their loyalty and courage in supporting a campus ac- tivity that serves a definite purpose in college life. Yours for pseudo intallecfcualism, Don Tan Ed's Note: Right, Mr. Tan, we do not come to college exclusively to study, but we do come to do something defin- ite. Campus Day should be made meaningful in its own right, or eliminated. And right you are again: the staff should take a definite stand for or against this activity. But, the number of students who used Campus Day to study mfght be indicative of the intellectual rather than pseudo-Intellectual trend on our campus.
