MY's Top $100 For Colegio Linda Vista An offering of $100.08 was given by the Union College M. V. Society Friday night for Colegio Linda Vista at Chiapas, Mexico. The appeal made by Loron Wade Union College graduate of '60, netted the unusual cash offering and precipitated an additional $20 per-month-each pledge by twenty South Hall residents during the next year. Wade, who went to the three year old college only last summer is home in the states for the summer vacation which is at this time of year for the Mexican students. He will return for the next term of school and will serve on the staff as dean of boys from ages 11 to 14.

Not pictured is Michel Evard. Eight Union College applicants received letters of acceptance to the school of medicine from the College of Medical Evangelists' board of admissions, Monday, Jan- uary 16. Those accepted, with their major fields are: Andrew S. Boskind, chemistry; R. Michel Evard, chem- istry; Norman R. Gay, biology; Larry L. Kroll, chemistry; Gary A. Nowlan, chemistry; Hermine Ros- enberg, biology; Carlyle Welch, chemistry; and Beth Wells, biology and English. Acceptance is conditional, de- pending upon senior scholarship and deportment. Acceptees will enroll at Loma Linda, California, September 5. All will enter the freshman class. Psychiatrist Will Be Guest For Health Week Program "Mental Health" is the theme of the annual Union College health week, February 5-10. As a special feature, L. H. Caviness, psychiatrist at the Battle Creek Health Center, and his assistant, Miss Alice M. West, will present a series of demonstrations in the auditorium for the chapel program on Monday, February 6. They will be present on the campus February 5-7 and will conduct a special group meeting for students interested in psychology. Dr. L. H. Caviness, brother of Dean G. L. Caviness, is a graduate of College of Medical Evangelists and is especially active in the pro- motion of conferences between Adventist psychologists and minis- ters. During the Korean War, he ser- ved in Japan where he conducted interviews with the "brainwashed" American soldiers after their re- lease from communist prisoner of war camps. Miss West, a Union College grad- uate, is a psychiatrist social worker. She received her M.A. in social work from the University of Ne- braska. She is especially interested in the role of the health team— doctors, nurses, laboratory tech- nicians, psychologists, p s y c h 1 - atrists, and social workers—and their relation to mental health. According to Terry Campbell, health week chairman, a fitting cli- max and conclusion to the activities will be reached at the regular Fri- day chapel in the auditorium. There, a one act dramatic presen- tation, "New Foundations,' by Lee Gilmore featuring four Union Col- lege students—Dale Haskin, Pat Phillips, Janis Stewart, and Bruce Mazat—will give the student a deeper insight into the factors con- tributing to good mental health. >. Kreitzky Uncensored Film on Here For Saturday "Background Russia," an uncen- sored color film of the USSR, will be presented here Saturday night, January 28, by Pastor M. S. Krietz- ky, of Detriot, Michigan. Pastor Krietzky was born in Rus- sia and came to the US in 1900. After fifty-nine years he was per- mitted to return to Russia and meet with eighteen of his relatives. Because Krietzky speaks Russian he was able to travel with or with- out a guide, and was able to cap- ture pictures and scenes which are true to life, and which show the condition of the country as it is. This film was shown at La Sierra College and at CME where viewers said, "Your true-to-life pictures of the work and recreation of the Russian people gave us a new slant on the Soviet Union. Your com- mentary was presented with verve and your pictures were exception- al." In This Issue 1. Leditors, page 4 2. Adventitiously Yours page 4 3. "Pep Pill" Pains, page 3 2nd Semester Staff to Add Cadwalladers and Heller Dr. E. M. Cadwallader, Mrs. E. M. Cadwallader, and Miss Ruth Heller will be added to the Union College teaching staff for second semester. Dr. Cadwallader, head of the ed- ucation and psychology depart- ments for over twenty years, is returning to teach for C. L. Gem- mell, who is taking a semester's leave to complete his doctorate at the University of Nebraska. Cad- wallader is a graduate of Pacific Union College and took his gradu- ate work for his Ph.D. at the Uni- versity of Nebraska. He and his wife have been vacationing in Flordia after his retirement last year. Mrs. Cadwallader will be an in- structor in the art department and will teach classes in school art and craft and art education. Ruth Heller joined the Union College faculty in 1960, but has spent her time on the Denver cam- pus teaching operating room nurs- ing. She will teach here one se- mester because of the new courses added to the nursing department's curriculum. These courses include Foundations in Nursing I, Founda- tions of Nursing II and Trends in Nursing I, which will include ex- perience in community nursing. Better Artist Series Aim of Current Poll To improve the productions of academy and college artist series performances, Elder Sydney E. Al- len, assistant professor of religion and evangelism, is conducting a survey for rating performers ap- pearing in SDA schools. When the compilation is com- pleted, Allen plans to incorporate the findings into a mimeographed directory to be made available to participation schools and other in- terested oganizations. "We have as good a potential for good programs as any other col- lege," stated Allen when asked about performers. "We just need to know who the performers axe so we wont get a 'turkey.'" To date, twenty-six of the sixty questionnaires sent to various col- leges, academies and day schools, have been returned with the listing of the artists booked for the year 1960. According to the question- naire, each artist is classified as no good, fair, good, or rebookable. The booking committee of each school is responsible for the rating Also included in the proposed di- rectory will be denominational per- formers who are available as enter- tainers. 3 Students Will Give Temperance Orations Oration run-off eliminations of the American Temperance Society were held in the administration building chapel the evening of Jan- uary 18. Four participants were chosen from the six contestants. Jane Nowack, Noel Fraser, Stella Ramirez who passed the elimina- tion judging, will appear in the Union February 26. LIBRARy The winner of the February 26 contest will compete in the Na- tional collegiatW&nfesrt Jt^gtje held on Union College's campus in March. r~- LINCOLN. NEBRASKA CLOCK TOWER November 11, 1960 Student Hobbyist Designs and Builds Homes Between Study Hours-Small Ones, That Is by Russell Leonhardt Looking for a hobby? Turn your imagination loose. William Schaefer, third year re ligion major, has a very unique one. From early childhood, he has been a dreamer—a dreamer of homes and the "ideal" he some day plans to build. It is a culmination of a hobby interest that had its beginning when Schaefer as a small boy be gan taking material from his grandfather's lumber yard. "Grandpa vowed he'd catch the culprit who was helping himself to the best lumber in the yard. He finally caught him. ME! He had followed me into the willows one day where I was busily constructing my 'shack,"' remarked Schaefer. Actually he has a dual hobby. First his home materializes on the drawing board as his ideas begin to take shape. "It intrigued me that some of the ideas I had could possibly be transferred from the drawing board into real homes, so I began to build small scale homes to test them," Schaefer explained. When living at home, Schaefer designed, built, and assembled his models in his well-equipped base- ment shop. Even now as a student of Union College, this nimble-fingered hob- byist finds time to devote to his avocation. "I see or read of a new style or design, and I try to incorporate it with my own schemes. I might endeavor to combine a Provincial of French style home with a gabled roof, hip roof, or a 'south of the border' flat roof. "You've heard of the U-shape, L-shape, and corridor type of rooms, but my idea is to make it YOU shaped. Variations that suit you are more workable and give your home personality," declared Schaefer. His homes are first floor accom- modations consisting of from four to six rooms. The overall sizes of the scaled models range from eighteen to twenty-four inches. The walls separating the various rooms have a framework similar to the larger homes. The frame- work is then covered with thin ply- wood. "Construction of doors and win- dows is a time-consuming task. Perhaps the most tedious of all is the tiling of the floors. It usually VALENTINES ALL KINDS PANGBURNS FINE HEART CANDY BOXES RICE PHARMACY takes two or two and a half months to complete a model," he said. In the construction, plywood is the most versatile of all materials. The drop siding and shingles are cut according to specifications for the role they are to play. The chim- ney and fireplace are built of ply- wood but painted to appear as natural brick. Schaefer's models are wired with small bell wire. The home now under construction in his spare time will have a connecting car port. Remarked Schaefer, "I've lost count of the number of homes I have built. I dream up a new style and start over again." "When I marry, I definitely plan to design and build my own home," he said. The Schaefer model homes are built for "pleasure" and that's the "dividend" it pays the year around Colorado Campus Psychiatric Nurses Help Rehabilitate Patients by Sharon Anderson The mystery and miracle of the human personality is challenging students of psychiatric nursing. Well-prepared nurses and psy- chological knowledge and skill are needed in an intensive therapeutic program where the primary objec- tive is helping the mentally ill per- son develop new methods of making life its best. The nurse's role is recognizing human needs and appraising hu- man values. She learns to depend less on drugs and more on her per- sonal quality. She is to be a humble, mature, and understanding individ- ual whose calling is not merely dis- pensing care, but also helping the patient develop a way of life, a wholesome attitude. Through the use of her reasoning and judgment, and her ability to deal wisely with immediate sit- uations, she helps the patient in development of his potential capac- ities. Psychiatric nurses realize that the mind and body are closely re- lated and all diseases involve a combination of mental and physical factors. Nurses must concentrate their efforts on human suffering, which is often the result of emo- tional tensions and conflicting per- sonality elements. Difficulties often arise. Today the patient may be able to communi- cate his fears or feelings to the nurse, but tomorrow he cannot. The nurse can never be assured that success will follow her work. There is no clear-cut pathway in any sit- uation. Success is measured by gradual gains which have developed over a long period of time. The compensa- tion for caring for these patients is an inner satisfaction, a self know- ledge, an awareness of the fascin- ating drama of human behavior, and an understanding of a mystery, a miracle—the human personality. tfiMeoG-rdph mJ 1il&rhen*. Services And I want these for my 7:30 class tomorrow Loveliest at the Morn The world is loveliest at the morn, When the shadows sprawl forlorn Before the widening, dawning firth Of Day's golden, golden birth; When Earth, on waking, shakes her head, Folds her covers, makes her bed, Breaks the fast begun last eve, Dons her dress to take her leave; And all the frost and dewy-hoar Disappears from step and door; And all the terrors of the night Are not terrors in the light. We feel the force of full repose When the darkness doth enclose, But, ah, the world is loveliest When the sunlight breaks our rest! —Gerald Colvin SDA's Included in New Book WASHINGTON, D. C. — One of fourteen major religions to be included in Look magazine's just- off-the-press volume, The Story of America's Religions, is the Seventh- day Adventist Church. The 10y2" by 13y2" book is a com- pilation of the award-winning series by Hartzell Spence, and is described as one of the finest presentations on the subject in print. The Gen- eral Conference Bureau of Public Relations reports that, if all the material in the book was as care- fully researched as that part deal- ing with Adventists, it should be a first-class reference volume for any library. Peanuts, Hawks A-League Top Contenders A's Standings Reach Three Place Deadlock by Jerry Thayer The Hawks and the Peanuts moved into a two-way tie for first place in the "A" league standings with important victories Sunday. The Hawks rallied from a 4-point halftime deficit to tie the game at 51-51 at the end of regulation time and then pulled away from the Celtics in an overtime period to take a 59-53 victory. The Peanuts emerged on top in another overtime game, edging the Tigers 46-45, after trailing most of the game. Rallying from a 31-21 deficit mid- way in the second half the Chargers squeezed out a victory over the Buckeyes, 43-41. The victory moved the Chargers into a third place tie with the Buckeyes. In the first round games, Janu- ary 15, scores were not as close as those played in the second round. The Buckeyes overcame a 3 point deficit at the half to come on and nudge the Celtics 44-42, in a hard fought game. The Hawks had a somewhat easier time disposing of the Tigers, coming strong after the half to win going away, 47-37. The Peanuts, after finding them- selves 8 points down at the half, rallied strong as the Chargers com- pletely fell apart, and ended up winning 49-41. After one week of practice games in which the "A" league teams each played one game to familiarize themselves with their teammates, the league is now in full swing and will be playing every Sunday, ex- cept Jan. 29, until March 26. For the first few games the play was pretty ragged but with added ex- perience, the teams have been play- ing much better. The games so far have been char- acterized by cold shooting by all teams as the leading team in shoot- ing has a 31% field goal average and the rest are between 26% and 29%. With continued practice, these should take an upward swing. Since the last CT, names have been chosen for the various teams. Team #1 Celtics Team #2 Buckeyes Team #3 Tigers Team #4 Hawks Team #5 Peanuts Team #6 Chargers The standings in the "A" league after two rounds are: "A" Basketball Standings W J, Hawks 2 0 Peanuts 2 0 Buckeyes 1 1 Chargers 1 1 Celtics 0 2 Tigers 0 2 The "B" league has been organ- ized but so far only one game has been played. It should get into full swing with the begining of second semester. In other sports activities, the next few weeks should find the smash and table tennis tourna- ments getting under way.

Vernon Usher Linda Peyer Refresh Yourself at the CHAT ON THE SPOT Pro-West Liberia Welcomes Missions by Henry E. Rieseberg, '48 The fascinating historical back- ground of the Republic of Liberia gives her a unique position in the free world today. Liberia is the oldest republic in Africa. As the world talks of the "awakening of Africa" and of the many new inde- pendent states, many forget that Liberia has been independent since 1846. Liberia's development as the na- tion it is today began in Washing- ton, D.C. in 1816 with the organiza- tion of the American Colonization Society. Under the leadership of Judge Bushrod Washington the society made plans to take Negroes from a land where slavery, pre- judice, and inequality was their lot, back to Africa where they could begin a civilization enlightened by Christianity and education. In 1821 the future site of Mon- rovia, Liberia's present capital, was purchased from the chiefs of the De and Mamba tribes. From that time on great sailing ships brought hundreds of men to her shores where, though laboring in hardship as pioneers of a new land, they labored as free men. Liberia was born to be free. "A home of Glorious Liberty by God's command" are words of her na- tional anthem. The people of Li- beria believe that their country was established by God to be a free land, and they are very proud of this freedom. Other nations in West and Central Africa have had to struggle for freedom against the great imperialistic powers of the world, but Liberia was established with freedom as her foundation. The seal of the republic of Liberia shows a sailing ship, typical of the many sent by the American Colon- ization Society. Above the picture is the inscription, "The Love of Liber- ty Brought Us Here." In addition, it is doubtful that Americans trade their citizenship for that of any other country more than Liberia. But Liberia is striv- ing for her place in African leader- ship and in the United Nations Liberia can be expected more and more to vote as the oldest republic in Africa. Liberia is very fortunate in not having demonstrations such as in the Congo. She has a solid, well- organized, and well-operated gov- ernment. She has had over 114 years to build one. It is patterned entirely after that of the United States. Liberia is led by a wise poli- tician who is a good administrator and a Christian. President William V. S. Tubman has a large Congres- sional majority and he makes use of it to enact progressive legislation. His strong control over Congress and his own party, as well as his immense personal popularity with the Liberian populace, eliminates the insecurity which often leads to political or military demonstra- tions. The rapid rise of many new African nations has been a tremen- dous stimulus to economic expan- sion and all the accompanying changes in a nation that such would bring. Today Liberia is build- ing, developing, improving, at in- tense speed. Liberia is fighting for leadership. Her land area and pop- ulation are small and she must make up for this in quality. Here is a real challenge to Sev- enth-day Adventists—a nation where missionaries are welcome. Here is a nation greatly in need of medical and educational develop- ment, a nation where religious freedom is guaranteed by law and religious discrimination and in- tolerance are outlawed. The time is ripe for a harvest of souls in Liberia. Paul Vercio's Hair Cutting Shop Come In or Call for Appointment Ph. IV 8-4778 4009 So. 48th January 27, 1961 CLOCK TOWER v u NEW PLAST.C 12 OZ.

Travel Veterans Recall Pain And Pleasure of Trip Abroad by Penny Shell The value of having joined the Union College European Tour last summer is more evident to Evan Swanson, Lolly Dart and Edwina Jay now than at the time of the tour. "Things I see, hear of and read about, even pictures in people's homes have so much more mean- ing," said Edwina. What Evan intended to gain he feels he has gained: "a better un- derstanding of Europe." (He hopes those he met have gained a better understanding of Americans.) Advice from Lolly is, "No matter how worn out you are or how tired you are of visiting places, see all you can because you'll be so glad you did when you come back." "The worst thing about traveling with a group is that it's so hard to please everyone," Evan stated. "Some thought we stopped too of- ten to take pictures and some thought we didn't stop enough." Lolly said that it was the limited amount of side travel that made group traveling hard. Edwina thought it was the long hours of travel to keep on schedule. "In group travel, however, you have experts to tell you about what Music Major Reviews First Band Concert The evening of January 21 brought a new musical sound to the Union College campus with the first concert of The Union College Symphonic Band. Under the direc- tion of Dr. Melvin Hill, conductor, the band played a concert of inter- esting and listenable numbers. The Symphonic band is different in that it displays a more mellow or soothing sound, rather than the brassy boldness often heard on the corner bandstand. Conducting with deft and sure movements, Dr. Hill achieved wide and varied musical effects from the band. Among the more involved num- bers, deeper in musical depth, was the Second Suite in F for Symphon- ic Band by Hoist. The Suite con- tains four selections including the well known "Greensleeves." The evening's program seemed to be enjoyed by everyone. "Thank You" to each instrumentalist and Dr. Hill for a fitting climax to Music Week. you're seeing," Edwina proposed. There's always someone to pop up with something to keep your spirits high," said Lolly. Evan remarked that it was good to be with a group that spoke English. Did the group save money on European purchases? "Yes," said Lolly, "but it's hard to know where to stop with bargains." "Yes," said Evan, "but we bought more with what we saved." "Yes," said Ed- wina, "but the overhead is rather terrific." Edwina reported a saving of one half to two thirds on per- fume, Hummel figures and gloves "ULTRASONIC CLEANING" Latest Method of Watch cleaning by Alberts Jewelry 4719 Prascott Open Sunday! SPECIAL 20% discount on all of Mrs. White's writings during 1961. Compared to other tours they've heard of, the three described the Union College tour in these terms: 'more congenial group," "much cheaper," "better organized," and 'covered much more territory in less time." Souvenirs they value the most are: for Evan his tan soft leather shoes from Florence, Italy; for Lolly, her painting of Sacre Cour. painted by and purchased from the sidewalk painters of Paris, France; and for Edwina, her coin and spoon collections. Though each was interviewed separately they recalled one Eur- opean food as "favorite," that be- ing Italian spaghetti. 'As long as it's on a vacation basis I would have liked to have stayed several months longer," said Edwina. "There's just some- thing about the United States you can't stay away from too long," Lolly stated. Evan "missed the modern conveniences and famil- iar people of the states," but is eager to go back to Europe. "I think Italy was the most friendly on the whole," Lolly de- cided. Evan remembered Copen- hagen, Denmark, as the most friendly spot visited. "The little town of Torre Pelice, Italy, seemed the friendliest and most helpful to me," Edwina recalled. Then she added, "The subways in Paris were too friendly." 'Light' Programs Slated For Men's Club Recreation Buddy Borris, second semester Sigma Iota Kappa president, states that more light programs are scheduled for Sigma Iota Kappa. Included in these programs will be ice skating. Sigma Iota Kappa and the Stu- dent Association are working to- gether on plans for an ice skating rink to be put in' after semester break. Borris, a junior premedical stu- dent from Boulder, Colorado, has served the club as secretary-treas- urer three times. Assisting him this semester will be Fred Saunders, vice-president; Bob Grosball, secretary-treasurer; Vernon Usher, pastor; and Dennis Olson, sergeant-at-arms. Vandeman Suggests Evangelistic Methods Methods to use in evangelistic work was the subject spoken on by George E. Vandeman, evangelist, at the Nebraska workers' meeting held in the Seventh-day Adventist church annex Monday, January 9. Elder Vandeman is the director and speaker of the television pro- gram "It Is Written." "His talk was very helpful and interesting. He gave the most effec- tive methods to use in developing the interests of the people who had become acquainted with the Sev- enth-day Adventist doctrines through the 'It Is Written' pro- gram," commented Elder P. C. Jarnes, professor of religion. "We knew Elder Vandeman would be in this vicinity so we arranged our workers' meeting at a time when he could be present," said Elder Ben Trout, secretary and treasurer of Nebraska Conference. Representatives were present from the North Dakota, Iowa, Kan- sas, and Missouri conferences. "Pep Pills" Blasted by Former User For Night Study and Exam (ramming WASHINGTON, D. C.,—College students who cram for exams with 'pep pills" are beginning a habit which will turn into a "joy ride of misery." So says Victor Di Genti in the current March-April issue of Listen magazine, in an article entitled "Pep Pills For Night Study." In this article the author tells how he found these pills (Dexedrine) could be obtained through doctors who were friends of students' families, even though such use of this drug is unlawful. Instant Energy As the semester progressed, keeping pace with my school work became quite a chore, and I began using the pills occasionally," says the author. "Minutes after swallow- ing a capsule, every fiber in my body seemed alert and energy- packed. However, what started out as a gesture for better grades soon turned into a joyride of misery." Di Genti points out that after a certain period of time the effects of Dexedrine wears off and a period of drowsiness follows. He said he began using Dexedrine to relieve the depression left from the pre vious night. Tremors Since he had difficulty sleeping, the author says he took sleeping pills to offset the stay-awake pills. After developing a slight tremor, 'I immediately disposed of my 'pep pills' and went to the school in- firmary to see what damage had been done," says Di Genti. After a week's rest and some good meals the author was back on his feet again, but he points out that although "my habit did not become a terrifying dope addiction, phy- sical catastrophe could have re- sulted if I had continued these pills. Office Manual Made By Minium, Pederson To stimulate student Interest in conference office work and to shorten on-the-job training, an office manual was recently com- pleted by Irma V. Minium and Margaret L. Pederson, associate professors of the Union College sec- retarial department. Each chapter of Office Manual and Laboratory Problems for Sev- enth-day Adventist Local Confer- ence Office Secretaries describes the duties of the secretary for one con- ference office department. Labora- tory problems following the chapter provide a sampling of these duties. Work was first begun on this manual in 1955. The Central Cali- fornia, Nebraska, and Minnesota conferences gave access to their files and records. Every local con- ference office in the United States filled out and returned a job-des- cription questionnaire sent to them. Copies of the manual were sent to thirteen Adventist colleges in the United States and Canada for their appraisal, Miss Pederson said. Now ready to sell, the manual and the laboratory problems costs $4 plus postage. Ministerial Students Plan Week-end Trip to Seminary Four reasons that ten or twelve ministerial juniors and seniors plan to visit Andrews University semi- nary February 2-5 were given by Elder Sydney Allen, assistant pro- fessor in religion and evangelism here. These reasons are: 1. To survey the developments of the facilities of the university 2. To look for self-help work op portunities. 3. To examine living quarters. 4. To become acquainted with the professors and to learn the current state of the education- al program. At the invitation of Dr. William Murdock, dean of the seminary, the group will be guests there. This is the second time such a group from here has visited the seminary. "It might become a tra dition," said Elder Allen. A voluntary group, they will trav el by car, sharing expenses. fc^atne JANUARY CLEARANCE CONTINUES Save 25% to 33 1/3% on Discontinued Samsonite Luggage Lucky you!

Now that first semester tests are over and the new semester is upon us, many students are looking back on their accomplishments, asking how they could have been improved. Others are looking at what lies ahead and are trying to determine how they can best use it. These two groups are fine; but what about the third group, those who think neither about the past nor the future, but only the present? They are not coming back second semester. Each individual should be concerned about his own future. Alto- gether too few cannot see beyond the end of their noses. They can see only what is happening now. The only way out, to them, is to quit school. Quitters? No, not all of them. Some do find it necessary to drop, but what about those who have gone about their work at school in a half-hearted manner? Usually this type will not be any different at home than here at school. To many students, sections of life are marked by milestones. A milestone, as defined by Webster is "an important event in one's life." The close of the semester could be classified as a milestone; it should be an important event to us. Sometimes, when this milestone is reached, those of the third group want to stop right away, instead of going on and finishing the school year. Why they do this is puzzling. If a person plans to spend a large amount of his parents' or his own money on an education, then why cut it off in the middle? That is like building a house, but never putting a roof on it. FOR THE THIRD GROUP ONLY: We recommend a "stick it out" program as better. If you stay this next semester and put everything you have into it, I can assure you that there will be g!ood results. Remember, what a person puts into his school work is what he gets from it. Mvffltitiously ]/ours By Jerry Aso Sea gulls circle the sea and land in their unending quest for life; the seasons ebb and flow as regularly as time itself. Years come . . . years go. Time passes; life passes; while men wander, seeking for life, grop- ing in the eternal darkness of their minds with grasping hands that close upon the emptiness of nothing. We are the lonely generation. Hollow thoughts, hollow laughs, hollow men stalk the lonely corri- dors of time with no other objective than to reach its end. Then . . . then? Lonely men look but see not, feel but sense not, think but know not; for these men have not learned of Life, these have been robbed of their one heritage. By whom? Who could, who would dare to answer? We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together Headpiece filled with straw. Alas! —T. S. Eliot While the hands of time slowly move across the faces of men, per- haps we could stop and spare a moment for them. Loneliness is like a vise that slowly turns upon the hearts of men— slowly, surely until the last drop of hope lies, one last spot of love on the cold floor of their fives. "And God said, It is not good that man should live alone." It would take but little to rouse the dead men, walking toward their unknown goal; a friendly word, a happy smile, a fond hello. "Though he were dead, yet shall he live." It seems more than strange, perhaps pathetic, that today, in this age of technological miracles, in this era of progress, man is becoming more and more lonely, needing more and more to make him happy, and less and less to make him sad. In this country, where all things are geared to save more time for togetherness we are being driven apart, not together. Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? The cycles of Heaven in twenty centuries Bring us farther from God and nearer to the Dust. —T. S. Eliot What is the answer? I think Emily Dickenson caught it when she wrote: If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one lonely person Into happiness again I shall not live in vain. How can we keep from loneliness? By helping others to be happy. How else?

House R,eport Dear Editor: You are to be commended for your article concerning the House of Representatives in the January 13 issue of the CLOCK TOWER. The article caused some healthy comment about the performance of the House and this is good. However, we would like to take issue with some of the criticism of the House. Many seem to feel that bills passed by the House are ineffective because the bills are not originated on the floor of the House. Just how do these people expect a bill to be composed and worded properly if the bill does not go through the accepted and necessary channels of the correct committees? Utter chaos would re- sult if an attempt was made to propose and word bills and recom- mendations on the floor of the House. Some of the Representatives complain that they do not have a hand in the composition of the bill. Let me remind them that each Representative can propose and enter bills on the floor of the House for action to his heart's content. There is absolutely no limit to this. One bright sophomore was quoted in the C.T. as saying, "I don't know anything about the House and I don't care to know." What an ab- surd statement for a college student to make. Most college students are well, informed and investigative concerning things on their own campus. However, the apathy shown by some, which is so evident in their careless remarks, tends to slow down the workings of the stu- dent organizations on the campus. To those who would like to become better acquainted with the House of Representatives, the minutes of each meeting and attendance rec- ord of each Representative are posted on the wall of the student center. The House is an open meet- ing and all are welcome. Students should make a suggestion to a rep- resentative and then attend the House meeting to see how that Representative performs. We are sure that most of the members of the House would be more than will- ing to cooperate with a student when it comes to introducing cer- tain measures for legislation. If people would only exert pressure in the right places, they would see re- sults from the House, for the House has the potential to be a very ef- fective and powerful organization for the benefit of the students. Gary Grimes, President, ASB Ed Lamb, Speaker of the House Once Over Lightly... ... by Ole Having trouble with grades? Maybe you don't take proper notes. Here's a one-point program on proper note-taking. The following is the teacher's lecture and my subsequent notes. Prof: You will be happy to know that we will have a guest lecturer in this class on Friday. Dr. M. A. Bore, noted zoologist, will speak on the subject: "The Tsetse Fly—A Household Pet For Everyone." Because of the importance of this subject and the limited time available, attendance will not be taken." German Progress Dear Editor: May I commend the CT for the fine array of letters which have been published. Of special interest to me was the letter by Guenther Holzer and Egon Boettcher criti- cizing an innocent report from Monty Burns. The point which I thought the above critics were a little out spok- en on was their attack on Monty's statement, "Maybe Germany has been progressing too fast for their own good." If I remember cor- rectly, the critics said, "May we ask how a person who visits Germany for the first time can justify such a statement?" Dear Hearts, a person does not have to travel extensively to know this. The German govern- ment and people speak for them- selves. Recently Secretary of the Treas- ury Anderson went to Germany to ask the bankers and government for their cooperation in easing our chronic outflow of gold. The Ger- man officials offered no coopera- tion. During World War II Germany committed political suicide. It was only the cooperation and the re- storing hand of the U.S. that made Germany the nation it is in con- trast to the rubble pile of 1945. Has East Germany progressed as rapidly as West Germany? Why? It is obvious. The United States has made the difference with its 83 billion dollar foreign aid plan . . . of which Germany received its share. For Germany to be indebted to the U.S. both financially and po- litically, don't you think it is grow- ing a little independent, a little nonchalant? As Alexander Pope said: "Fear not the anger of the wise to raise, Those best can bear reproof who merit praise." Sincerely, Bill Swan P.S. Even though I am a loyal Texan, I don't write "letters to the editor" when foreigners judge Texas after driving through its panhandle. Campus Clatter Clarified by Clus Few things could humble one quite so quickly as losing five games of ping pong in a row. This deflat- ing process becomes the more un- bearable when one loses to her roommate (no less), who declares that she "really can't play ping pong at all." From this situation we retreat to contemplate on Cam- pus Clatter. Having spent much of study period preparing an argumenta- tive speech, Bonnie Quast appar- ently went to bed with her mind still going full speed ahead. Around 2 a.m. she awoke and, fearing that she would miss worship, raced into the bathroom and took the rollers out of her hair—despite the insig- nificant fact that nary a light could be seen anywhere in the dorm. Upon checking several clocks she realized that it was a little early and returned to bed. One unfor- tunate aspect remains. Bonnie slept very poorly the rest of the night. It seems that she awoke every hour or two so that she might roll over. Why? "I had to lie equally on all sides so that my hair would be straight all over." Some of us are plagued with problems of the sub-conscious, but Betty Bell's difficulty has arisen from no imaginary causes. You see, Betty caught one of her fingers in the wringer of a washing machine at Bancroft Courts. . . . One of the dangers of living in a modern age, Betty. With tests over now it is safe to mention a discovery which has pre- viously had no publicity. A visitor in the education department sev- eral weeks ago noticed a container of soft water and inquired as to the reason for its being there. Mr. Cecil Gemmell carefully explained that a student has been using it for demonstration purposes. We are wondering, however, if the ed- ucation department has discovered that soft water is more effective in brain washing. (Thanks to some unidentified student for this thought.) Anyone for basketball? I for one am forced to admire the Ingenuity exhibited by Tony Latessa in put- ting the application blanks for Ole My Notes: Skip class on Friday. Speaking of note-taking, I would love to see how reporters keep sane while listening to former New York Yankee manager Casey Stengel. In a recent article in a baseball mag- azine the best of "Stengelese" was printed. Back in 1953 Casey was asked about his third base situa- tion. Here's his answer: "Well," he replied, "that feller I got on there is hitting pretty good and I know he can make the throw, and if he don't make it that other feller I got coming up has shown me a lot and if he can't I have my guy and I know what he can do. On the other hand, the guy is not around now. And well, this guy may be able to do it against left-handers if my guy ain't strong enough. But I know one of my guys is going to do it." Does that sound like the ramb- lings of one of your professors? While on the subject of Casey, once a sportswriter asked him about his use of Stengelese. "Some peo- ple say they have trouble under- standing me," Casey chirped, "but I don't know why. I understand myself." Tony and Lou Anne Latessa have talented youngsters in their fam- ily. The other day I was over at the house and little Christie Ann was drawing on a blackboard what was apparently a face. Lou Anne re- sponded in typical motherly fash- ion and began bragging about the artistic talents of the child, ex- planning how carefully the face, mouth and eyes of the drawing were realistic. The vision soon end- ed, however, when Christie said: "Boat, mommy, boat." I guess the rigors of studying (?) have taken their toll in the life of my roommate Jerry Thayer, old L.B. (For an explanation of the ab- breviation see Jerry.) He's the only person I've • ever heard of who makes his bed five minutes before bedtime. I think I'D reserve a place for him at the Rubber Room of the Funny Farm. Ah, but why fight progress—before, he never made his bed at all. Well, second semester starts Monday (no one can say you're not kept well-informed by this article). Remember my note-taking hint. See you in the drop-voucher line!! teams at least six feet off of the floor. Could it be a suggestion that he wants only those players who can at least reach the applications? Three cheers for the promoters of music week. Most of us students could use a little emphasis on the better kind of music (judging from some sounds one can hear at times in the dorm.) But may I also add that I was left more than mildly "surprised" when the gay strains of Haydn's Surprise Symphony were heard in the church? It seems doubtful to this observer that this type of music would fit into the category of what is acceptable and respectful to play in the church. In reflection . . . Another semes- ter is completed. It seems safe to conclude that you, the student, have either passed or failed your various subjects. If you "made it through," you undoubtedly must have learned most of what was re- quired in the courses. This is as it should be. But I wonder at a time like this if we have actually learned any- thing if we have only swallowed whole our teachers' thoughts and theories. Is a mere learning of formulas and lists with no search- ing, questioning, doubting, and/or individual thinking learning at all? Could this "puppet learning" be one of the causes for the mediocrity we see all about us?
