UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, January 28, 1965 No. 9 UC Commences Diamond Anniversary; Events Include Picnics and Programs Students, teachers, and alumni of Union College, along with die College View community, will be celebrating the seventy-fifth birdi- day of their school diis spring. A steering committee consisting of 20 members has been organized to plan commemorative activities. Special activities will continue diroughout Union's "birthday year" ending in the spring of 1966. Dr. D. W. Holbrook, college public relations director, is oliair- man of the steering committee. Triple Sigma Elects Limerick President The nursing club at Union Col- lege, Triple Sigma, recendy elect- ed Judy Limerick president for second semester. On Sunday evening, Jan. 10, die 60 club members met and elected the following officers to work with Miss Limerick: social vice-pres- ident, Gwen Kemper; religious vice president, Norma Ewing, sec- retary, Linda Huff; publicity sec- retary, Virginia Scriven; treasur- er, Jo Ann Grosball; and pres- ident-elect, Ronnalee Olson, who will take office Sept., 1965. Mrs. Dorothv Russell, club sponsor, reported that die club is looking forward to an active se- mester. She also explained what the club name stands for. "Sigma is the Greek letter for "S" she said. "The three S's mean Sincere Self- less Service." According to Miss Limerick, Union College will host nursing students from Bryan Memorial, Lincoln General, and St. Eliza- bedi's Hospitals for a fashion show on Feb. 24. Other plans for sec- ond semester include a possible sophomore trip to Denver which Miss Limerick "hopes will take place," and the capping service to be held April 30. Two of the members have re- centiy been honored. Delia Lamb, a Denver-campus senior has been chosen Nebraska Student Nurse of die Year for 1965. El Donna Members of die committee in- clude College View business men, officials of die Central Union, Ne- braska Conference, and Christian Record, and people from the col- lege and community. Varied activities are planned, including a parade in College View, a variety of Saturday night programs, picnics, special lunch- eons for old-timers, and a lecture series. Bodi diis year and next die alumni homecomings will feature Union's seventy-fifth birthday. One of die early events planned is a re-enactment of the locating committee that came to Lincoln and chose die College View site. This program will appear on tele- vision early in February. Dr. Holbrook stilted, "The com- mittee has been working well, spending a lot of time. Odiers out- side the committee liave been helping out with special activities. I'hey have planned things of real interest to the College View com- munity, present students and teachers, and alumni." Chase, a sophomore, was elected corresponding secretary of die Ne- braska State Student Nurses As- sociation. "Circus Holiday" was the dieme of die Benefit Program presented Jan. 23 at 8 p.m. by die students on the Clinical Division in Den- ver. Side shows featured JoAnne Kupcho, snake charmer; Mardia Ruiz, fortune-teller; and Karen Klingenberg, the "tallest nursing student in the world" (on stilts, diat is). Dick Knnnenberg ns Ringmaster announced program participants Ruth Wang, Lorna Ytredahl, Nor- een Corle, and the junior sextette consisting of Lucille Bradford, Sharon Serikaku, Bonnie Flemmer, Beverly Stevens, and Beatrice Wil- liams. Talent was also secured from die Lincoln campus who sent the Swiss Bell Ringers and Dan Goddard, vocalist. Planning for "Circus Holiday" was done by the Social Produc- tions Committee, Delia Lamb, Chairman. Four of the little "angels" who will be singing here Saturday night vocalize. Varied Program Promised By Boys' Singing Group From the land of cactus and canyons comes the Tucson Arizona Boys Chorus to perform in the Union College Auditorium Jan. 30, at 8 p.m. The group of about 30 boys, under the direction of Eduardo Caso, will present a program of their own arrangements of western songs as well as classics, folk songs and carols. "The chorus presents a very en- joyable program with music to suit everybody," said R. L. Britain, dean of men, who has previously seen the program. Stated Harris Westerberg, jun- ior education major, who has seen the boys perform twice, "The stage sets and lighting are unique. The artificial rocks and campfire add a feeling of the Southwest and the boys provide variety to the program with their rope twirling and tricks." The chorus, appearing here for the first time, has sung on the General Motors TV program "Wide, Wide World," as well as other widely known TV programs. The tickets are $2 reserved, $1.50 general, $1 children and are available at the Accounting office. Student To Become Summer Missionary Union College's ASB Student Council has voted to sponsor a Unionite to go as a student mis- sionary to South America diis com- ing summer, Kiff Achord, ASB President said. The student who will be picked sometime diis semester will spend the summer in South America, possibly in the Inca Union, work- ing with an experienced mission- ary and learning as much as pos- sible about mission life by helping the missionary in whatever w:v, s ho can. "The object of this program is for a student to get a taste of mis- sion life so diat when he comes back to school the next year he will tell his experiences, show pic- tures, and arouse a greater in- terest among the students to plan on mission work when they grad- uate," Kiff stated. He also said diat the student would be completely financed b\ die College during the summer and also his tuition would be paid for the school year. The plan is that during the year he would go around to different churches and MV societies promoting missions. The offerings would go to support another student missionary nest year. The student chosen to go would be a sophomore or a junior man. He will be chosen bv the student bod}' and the faculty. This type of program is also b - ing carried out in some of the other SDA colleges. 2nd Sem. Arrivals Began Classes Men, The number of new students enrolling at Union College for the second semester is expected to reach 60, according to Miss Marie M. Anderson, registrar. As of Friday, Jan. 22, there were 28 re-acceptances of students previously attending Union and 26 acceptances of students coming for die first time. The latter group includes students transferring from other colleges and those making dieir initial entrance into college. "Last year we had fifty new students at die opening of the sec- ond semester," said Miss Anderson, "and we expect a few more this year due to the trend of increased enrollment." Included among die new ar- rivals are two students from for- eign countries. One freshman, Enjety Earnest, comes from And- hra Pradish, a southeastern state of India. Rosalie Mei Ying Lim, of Singapore, Malaysia, is also a freshman. From neighboring Canada comas another new student, Ken- nedi Paul, of Calgary, Alberta. Administration Office Has Been Redecorated The reception room of President Fowler's office has been the scene of a recent renovation. Included in the remodeling was new masonite paneling with a deep walnut finish on die walls. The old ceiling was lowered by means of a suspended ceiling in which four new recessed flores- cent lights were installed. A new carpet with different shades of green and beige was laid. These changes have added a refreshing new dignity to the reception room. Changes of this type are just steps in maintaining die present administration building and, of course, are necessary until die con- struction of the new administra- tion building. MV Week of Prayer Designed To Help Students in College Problem Areas The MV student week of prayer, Jan. 31-Feb. 5, with the theme "Relevancy of Reli- gion," will present sermons and discussions on topics that students indicated as main con- cerns in a recent dorm survey. Speakers and sermons will be as follows: on Sunday evening Ken Matthews will pre- sent "Erunt Omnes Dogibi Les Dei" and Kiff Achord will follow with "Why?"; Monday evening a student from Andrews will talk on "Which Way for Work." Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evening talks on "God and Grades; Heaven and Health," "What is a Home Anyway?" and "Faith in Finances" will be given by Judy Thayer and Chuck Seeger, Ken Albertsen, and Herman Harp. Friday morning at 9:10 David Young will present "Conquering Inner Space," and that evening Marvin Ponder will speak on "Relevancy in Retrospect." Discussion groups will meet on Monday and Wednesday mornings at 9:10. Don Church, Kit Watts, Jim Gardiner, Jere Webb, Roger Anderson, Sherene Bieber, Tammy Dietrich, Ken Liggett, Marv Olson, Ray Roth, and Dale Jensen will preside over eight different subject areas. These groups will discuss Last Da}' Events, Health Habits, Adventist Blacklist, Communion with God, Sex and Religion, Social Acceptance, Extra-Spiritual Perception, and How Far Should I Go to Reach Youth—Doorstep or Dragstrip? The theme song chosen for diis special emphasis week is "Jesus Is the Joy of Living." Special music will be provided at each evening meeting and on Friday morning. Those that will participate are Jerry Patton; Roger Anderson; Ann James; guest students from Andrews; a mixed quartet; die nurs- ing students from Denver; and the TrumPets, Judv Thavei, Barb Favorito, and Charel Bosse. Dr. Eugene Gascav, MV sponsor, stated diat plans have been carefully formulated to trv to con- tribute something for each Unionite. Meditation cards written In' Elder John Han- cock', associate MV secretarv for die General Con- firmee, will be placed in students' mailboxes Mon- day-Friday mornings. The thought on each card will coincide with the wrnum for tl)3t evenin" "This week is planned for the student body. The MV society is trying to work with each individual to enable him to re-evaluate, if necessary, his at- titudes and ideas on facts pertinent to his re- ligious life," stated Marvin Ponder, MV leader for die week of prayer. Evening meetings, beginning at 6:40 except Friday which begins at 7:45, will be held in the church. The community is invited. MV Guests Explain Mormon Doctrines The Missionary Volunteer So- ciety was host to two voung Mor- mon laymen last Friday evening, Jan. 22, at 8. Mr. Charles Bogart and Mr. Garth James, both of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Dav Saints presented a program to the student bodv in which they told the background of the Mor- mon religion and < xplained their cardinal doctrines. Also present at the program was the Bishop of the Lincoln Ward, Ernest S. Dcni- son. After Mr. Bogart and Mr. Garth James had spoken, questions were directed to them about their re- ligion by a panel of students. The panel consisted of Manuel Vas- quez, Barbara Russell, and Ray Daniels. Angie Nielsen, program direc- tor, stated that the purpose in having this type of program was to encourage students to develop a better understanding of otliei denominations and what thev ac- tually believe. Auditions Coming For Amateur Hour Union College talent will be dis- played Feb. 27 in the school's Annual Amateur Hour program to be held in the gym. "Plans are already in progress for this year's talent program" said Vernon Barton, chairman of the Program Productions committee. "Auditions for prospective con- testants will be held during the first week in February," he said. "Exact dates will be announced." In This Issue Vanishing Society P- 2 Eighteen Weeks . . .

Program Spaceball, America's newest competitive sport, was demon- strated by the Spaceball Stars Saturday, Jan. 23, at 8 p.m. in the college gymnasium. Along with the Spaceball Stars, the physical education depart- ment, which was in charge of the Saturday night program had plan- ned a basketball game, a ski film, and roller skating. Spaceball is a continuous action sport which combines many of the exciting elements of volleyball and basketball with the added thrill of trampoline bouncing. The game is literally played "in space." Commentators say, "Students ev- erywhere find it thoroughly en- joyable entertainment." The pro- gram also included demonstrations of air cadet and astronaut training techniques and provided for active audience participation. The basketball game is unique in that while the}' play, players sit on little scooters that are about two inches off the floor. "Vagabonds of the Mountain" was the ski film that was shown. The evening was capped with skating for everyone. Tests Given in Gym For Largest Classes Some final examinations were given in a different place this year. The larger classes, like Freshman English with 320 mem- bers from 11 sections, took dieir exams in the gym instead of their individual classrooms. "These examinations were given in the gym for two reasons, to simplify giving them, and to en- courage honesty," said Dr. George L. Caviness, academic dean. Alumni Planning Memorial of Tower "We want to do something to preserve a remembrance of die clock tower," saicl Mrs. Edwin O'l- den, secretary of the Alumni As- sociation. The Association began the pro- ject in 1961 under Dr. Walter Howe, '32, to raise funds for die preservation of the clock tower. It was designed as a project with a goal of 120,000. Mrs. Ogden stated that the Alumni Association or the admin- istration doesn't know exactl\ just how die new memorial will look. But, "We want to have the money on hand to help build a new one on the new Administra- tion building, or a memorial af- fair that stands alone," she said. Dr. Howe was followed by Dr. Delmer Holbrook, '46, as president of the Association in 1962. He was followed by Elder E. E. Hagen, '35, and then by the present pres- ident, Dr. Neil Rowland, '47. The president-elect is Elder James Poguc, '44. 4 CLOCK TOWER February 11, 1965 Vanishing Society Seen at Porter San.; Nursing Cadets=Service Personified by Delia Lamb and Mr. Gallup has just finished an- other successful year at predicting tho nation's views through person- to-person polling. His conclusions about 1964 have, as usual, come true: Lyndon Baines Johnson continues to reside at 1600 Penn- sylvania Avenue; the Republican Party is at a low ebb in Congress; Barry Goldwater has retired from politics to write a newspaper column. Although Mr. Gallup may be a world-renowned pollster, neither he nor President Johnson in his plans for the Great Society has made provisions for a small but important segment of the popula- tion. This isolated group consists of 30 nursing students on the clinical campus in Denver who might aptly be called, "The Vanishing Society." In the interest of posterity, Delia Lamb and Judy Trowbridge, two members of this Denver group, took it upon themselves to ascertain what the students on die Lincoln campus actually knew Judy Trowbridge about die day-to-day activities of their contemporaries in Denver. This poll was an effort to further public relations between die two campuses. Tho following responses were elicited from the query: "What do vou know about die students on the clinical division in Denver?" Mr. Hi Dome: According to my limited, diough factual knowledge, these are the segment of our stu- dent bod)' who have already been awarded that bit of Golden Cord which signifies their service to hu- manity. Us: The Golden Cord is only given to those in foreign mission service—this does not include Colorado.

You mean diose Porter students? Us: Denver is the site of the clinical division of die Depart- ment of Nursing. We are students of Union College, not Porter. Mr. Wolfe: Wow! Us: (Lamb to Trowbridge) Si- lence is golden, but I'd rather spit in his eye. Miss So-So: Huh? I saw their pictures in die Peanut Hill. Us: You'd better road die com- ing article, "The Vanishing So- ciety," in the CLOCK TOWER. It appears from the above cross- section of the ASB that diere is a definite ignorance about w h a t happens on the clinical division. We go to school the same as die rest of you do. This involves that "necessary evil," study, and a sparse amount of time spent in the pleasurable activities of eating and sleeping. However, since nurs- ing is people the largest portion of time is spent with our patients. Our "lab" classes are real life; we work with living people who need our help. People who are rich and poor, black and white, yellow and brown, tall and short, fat and thin, brilliant and stupid, haughty and humble. Some are babies, born too soon; some are die aged who seem to have lived too long. There is the happy wife cuddling her first born and die grieving widow cut off from her companion of 50 years. There is die unwed teenager who won't look at her seven-pound son —and the twelfth well-beloved child born to a family on relief. There is die grandfadier who hopes he will die before his bills ruin die family—and the eccentric millionaire who grudgingly pays his hospital bill. There is the col- lege girl who fears her operation will keep her from graduating— and die "dese" and "dose" guy who "tinks" books is "fer da boids." There is die mental pa- tient scheming to take her own life and die "cheerful" alcoholic who makes life miserable for odiers. If you were a student in Ob- stetric Nursing, it might be your delight to witness die birth of a mite who weighs only two and one-half pounds. Immediately diis tiny bundle is placed in an incu- bator where he will be kept warm. As you wheel the incubator from die delivery room to the nursery, you meet die anxious father who no longer wires if it is a boy or a girl, just so his baby has a chance at life. When you feed die baby, per- haps from an eye dropper or a small tube, you realize you are only one of many members of die health team who is fighting to help this child live.

As I survey diis busy se- mester, 1 wonder if there will be time to study? Each time I receive a grade slip ill)' vows are ceremoniously pro- claimed to all widiin listening dis- tance. That occasionally includes ail entire campus. Grades seem lo provide the greatest stimulus to- ward study I know of. For the first four weeks of each new grading period I rise to diz- zying heights I've never before visited. I am positive that this will be "the" semester. The semester I'll always have as a rebuttal lo Mother, Father, and my advisor. The semester I'll always remember and the one I'll always endeavor to copy. husk}' five pounder who has more than doubled his weight and place him in the arms of his long-wait- ing mother. The apparent antithesis of the above situation is seen in die geri- atric patient. Mr. Thompson is a 90 year old gentleman who has been sent to the hospital because his family no longer wants to care for him. Each time you enter his room you are regaled with tales of his childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Each repetitious experience be- gins, "Did I tell you?" or "Have I told you about the time?" Tol- erantly, if not gladly, you listen to these told and re-told stories, be- cause it's therapeutic, but more important you believe in the Golden Rule. After Mr. Thompson is sent to a nursing home, you realize how much vou miss those familiar ac- counts of his childhood in "Iowav Count)'" when he worked on the railroad. At his new residence he will probably be considered a "human vegetable" rather than a senile man who needs a listening ear. There's the 20-vear-old college student who is ushered into the emergency room via the screech- ing ambulance. You note the var- ious bruises and cuts on his blood- smeared face, his inability to move his left leg, and his gasping moans of pain. After assisting in the immediate care of the patient, vou turn your attention to die man in the wait- ing room who dazedly and be- seechingly mutters: "I never saw the kid's cycle. Is he all right? Is ho gonna' live? I never saw his cycle." Aldiough it is past time for you to go off duty, you sit down besido this man and attempt to give him comfort. What can be more frustrating, frantic, and fun than trying to keep an active four-) ear-old in bed, especially when lie is to lie quietly? The whole vicious cycle begins when he rips the bed linens off the mattress and hangs diem on the side of die bed in an at- tempt to have you join his favorite Netteburg However, the last four or five weeks always prove my undoing. I somehow manage to plummet to some unimaginable plain. Semes- ter exams are coming, and I'm staring almost certain "D's" in die face. The final exam week causes a great rush which includes 4 hours sleep a night, one square meal a day (maybe a bit rounded on the edges, however), and some- where between 30 and 40 hours of extensive study per day. Well, it seems like diat much anyway. Then grades come out, and the whole cycle begins again. I find I've lost the "A" I diought I had cinched in diat litde 2-hour course that was so easy I didn't waste time "cramming" for it. I did evade a few of those "D's", but I'm not really consoled. But diis semester will be dif- ferent. I'm not going to fall down (quite so far, that is!) in the final week. That is because I shan't reach quite such a high plateau at the beginning. Then the ur- gency of the situation will cause me to study in die last two months and I'll have momentum going for me at exam time. Now diat sounds like a reason- able plan, doesn't it? Perhaps this is not quite as workable as the plan most professors would sug- gest whereby one would study consistently throughout die semes- ter, but it does leave a consider- able amount of free time at the beginning of die semester. All. mv ambitions will be useless if a semester's actions do not ac- company them. How about you. ni)' fellow-student? Will this be a cram-for-finals semester, or will you be able to face the finals knowing that "all is well." The difference between die two is just a little study each night. game, peek-a-boo. All the toys are thrown out of bed one b\ one and as soon as your sacroiliac area becomes p.n- nianenth fixed at a ninety-degree angle from picking up trucks, cars, boats, books, and tinker toys, he changes tactics and tears paper handkerchiefs into microscopic- size pieces. The excitement of his game heightens as he exuberantly blows each piece across the room. After you've readied the point of acute frenzy, when you'd like to shake the sides of his bed like a cage, he falls asleep like a cherub while you're left to wonder who ought to be on bed rest. There's the badly-burned me- chanic, the niodier of two pre- school children who has terminal cancer, die elderly stroke patient, tile five-year-old with golden curls and a fractured leg. The list of patients is never-ending because each patient is a totally different person. As you care for them, realiza- tion of the true meaning of service comes. One might say diat nursing is scrvice personified. Robert Frost's observation, "We love die things we love for what they are," becomes the guide line for the nursing student.

One Hundred Twenty-two Days To Count As Co-ed Looks Ahead To Graduation by Harri Graduation is only four months away. Just 122 days stand be- tween die class of '65 and the world beyond. What kind of thouglits does a girl have as she stands at the brink of maturity . . . life . . . die world of multi- tudinous, unsolved problems? There are all kinds of specula- tions diat go through a senior's head. There is a certain yearning to be through with twenty-page term papers, numerous hours of unread outside reading and 7:20 a.m. classes; but underneath all of this, looking beyond these super- ficial things, there is a certain sentimentality that begins to set- tle in. Perhaps it is diat same dreamy look our parents have in their eyes when tiiey recall "dear ol' Union" and sing "Slinga-de- ink" a half-step flat. Or maybe it is that feeling of accomplishment when pondering the receiving of a B.A. or B.S. degree. Or maybe it is that sick feeling we get in our hearts when we think of leaving our many friends, quite probably never to see some of them again. Whatever die circumstances—tlie feeling is unmistakably there and will begin to grow as the last se- mester progresses. It has been said that your col- lege years are die happiest years of your life. Sometimes I wonder about that statement, especially when assignments pile up, my test tubes get broken in Chemistry lab, and twenty hours of procras- tinated voice practice are due by the end of the week! But college is fun—hectic at times, but fun. We live in a whirl of committee meetings, appointments and dead lines, but through it all we smile and keep plugging away. Perhaps oollege gets to be the most "fun" during exam week when we run to tests in wrinkled clothes, unset, straight hair and live on "cany-outs" and No-Doz. Hohensee But these are die things you re- member when you are old and gray—die zany things that don't make sense to anyone but col- lege students, the sill}' things you do when you are so tired you can't think straight. I guess diis is what I'm going to miss most about col- lege. Actually, all of the books and flunked quizzes won't mean too much ten or even five years from now. Radier it will be the mem- ories of people, experiences and pleasurable diings that happened every day. By now you probably think that I am a sentimental fool, and you may be right. But I love Union and the principles she stands for. Others have passed from these ivy-covered halls and quaint cob- blestone paths well-prepared to meet the world bevond. I only hope that I am as well-prepared to meet what life has in store for us. There has been a certain se- curity in being within the confines of a college, a security that we have rebelled against when the rales become stiff, but a security we will miss when we no longer have it. What are a senior's dioughts as she faces litr only remaining se- mester of college? The}' axe happy and frustrated and sentimental. Instead of wishing diat time could be turned back, however, I am looking forward to the end of May with eager anticipation. Graduation marks the termination of our college education, but it also signifies the commencement of the rest of our lives.

What are all these adjectives for? Oh—I'm just trying to describe my experiences as a student teach- er this past semester. Yes, I've been one of those "cross-eyed, double-honied, bow- legged monsters" that all kids love or loathe, as the case may be! But believe me, some children oan be classified as such at times, also. However, 1 was really quite for- tunate to be associated with two fine groups, so I have numerous pleasant memories of my practice teaching. Naturally, every student teacher remembers some of the funny in- cidents that have happened. The first nine weeks two of us were teaching in one of the first grade rooms. Each of us had charge of a reading group and, as we were organizing them for reading one day, one little boy (he usually added spice to our day in one way or anotiier!) piped up with, 'Teacher, you have so much per- fume on, I can 'taste' it!" How hard it is to keep that "dignified" air when taken down a notch or two bv a first grader. I'll also remember the da)' I was trying to clean my glasses without the aid of a tissue.

I had one or two boys who sat, stood, or Lay in ever)' conceivable position in their chairs or on the floor! Many of their positions were impossible for anyone but them. Such is the life of an elementary education major at practice-teach- ing time. Sometimes I wonder who learns more—the students or the student teacher! This first experience, with its problems and its joys, has ended, but it has made me anticipate the next one even more—next Septem- ber when I will no longer be the "student" teacher but rather, the regular teacher in a school with a group of my own. With trembling liands and a hollow mind I shall enter the halls of a Lincoln high school. All around me I'll see students hurry- ing to and fro eager to learn. I'll also see students hurrying to and fro eagerly thinking and planning little schemes to trip up a student- teacher. My feelings are partially con- cealed under a look of eagerness, fearfulness, and just plain antici- pation of an experience that may shock ni}' system so badly I may never have any faith in human beings (human beings between the ages of 15 and 17, that is.) I have visions of seeing myself enter a classroom witli 30 alert stu- dents simply waiting for me to make my first mistake—such as making the gross error in my clothing class of announcing that ardil is a trade name for narrow fabrics of Saran, such as webbing —when everybody under die sun knows it's really cogon! Or Sarelon is a domestic synthetic fiber de- rived from protein in beans—when a n y b o d v, absolutely anybody, knows it's derived from peanuts! I'll die simply die, rather than face the class again after making such awful errors! Why these are 16-vear-olds enrolled in a high school clothing class wanting to learn how to sew a cotton apron or gathered skirt and here I mislead them. One thing I will know is that gigging is raising the nap in a fabric by means of teasels. One consolation, at least I'll have that one thing straight. Whew, I know something else—perching is a vis- ual inspection of wool fabrics. 1 wake up in the middle of the night wondering how 111 ever go through with it—I must be crazy to plunge into something like teaching two home economics classes in a high school widi only 32 hours of oollege home eco- nomics. I have dreams of seeing myself standing in front of a class un- able; to speak because I'm en- cased in a verbal cocoon!! Thirty pairs of eyes stare coldly at me, and I, unable to speak, stare back at them and wish with all my heart that I hadn't mailed my lesson plans to my folks in New Mexico and showed up in class with three sheets of paper entitled "Dear Mom and Dad." These and other unimaginable imaginations add up to what I have been looking forward to since I enrolled in my first educa- tion class mv freshman year. As Plato says, "Those having torches will pass them on to others." Here I stand with my torch of knowl- edge looking forward to student- teaching with great anticipation, excitement, and (99%) fear!

GUEST EDITORIAL A Man For Such A Time by N. P. Clopham The death of Winston Spencer Churchill seems to those who survey the history of the first half of the twentieth cen- tury, less the passing of an individual as the passing of an age, so much has Sir Winston's vigorous life interwoven itself with the tumultuous events of the world and the life of the British people during that time. Like his ancestor, Great Britain's most famous general, John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, and William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, Winston Churchill was a great war minister, fo- cusing in his own person the resistance of the free world to domination by tyranny from without. His life was bound up with parliamentary institutions, especially the work of the House of Commons, where he remained until physical strength failed him, and in rallying the British people to re- sist, and in directing the strategy of war, he saw himself as defending that political way of life in which the rulers take the sense of the community and follow its lead, and where every man is free to speak his mind on the way in which na- tional affairs shall be managed. Mr. Churchill was a writer of distinction, biographer ol Marlborough, a writer of memoirs, historian of the two World Wars in which he played so momentous a part, and historian of the English Speaking Peoples; but his literary flame glowed with the deepest intensity in the speeches, cryptic and power- ful, that marked the crises of war. Churchill was a man of great personality, sharing with an American, Theodore Roosevelt, the boyish exuberance that in them both scarcely diminished even in old age. It is charac- teristic of the thrust of life within him that, cut off by a turn in political events from ministerial responsibility, he should find a medium of expression in painting, laying colour upon colour. He lived at a time when friendship between the English speaking peoples on either side of the Atlantic was vital to the cause of freedom and democracy and to this he was able to make a large contribution by the circumstances of his birth and his manner of dealing. To Clementine Churchill, with whom Sir Winston lived in continued affection, and their children to the fourth gener- ation, the American and British people offer their sympathy and tribute of esteem mingled with pride. In the world of af- fairs, in heart and mind, there have been few his equal. The New and Renewed-You? Last Monday students at Union College began to write on a new page in the liistory of the college and in their scho- lastic careers. Some of these students are new to our campus and to col- lege life in particular. Others have been here before, have left, and have rejoined us. Still others have been on campus sincc September but are just now getting on the baM. To all of you—the new and renewed—the CLOCK TOWER staff takes this opportunity to welcome you to all the joy, happiness, fatigue, defeat, and glory that makes college life what it is! The history of this second semester will be written by you. What you do, and don't do, what you accomplish and fail to accomplish, arc all equally vital! So to each of you who have begun this semester, wel- come, enjoy yourselves, and good luck. So who needs a C average to ski? interpolate \J[oiir J4abit3— Jt'j Only, (Body Over jUind by Joyc Several weeks ago in my pur- suit of intellectual growth, I chanced to see an interesting ar- ticle aimed at the American col- lege co-ed. It was written by one of the many women who spend much time and effort in writing advice columns. An attempt was made to help the modern college girl find the secret to high intellectual growth as well as to become a rav- ishing beauty. It began with a sympathetic un- derstanding of die lack of time in the young lady's schedule and told of the necessity for doing all those things that occupy 26 hours of ev- ery day. "But," our Aunt Gertrude continues, "it is absolutely neces- sary for you to sleep at least eight hours every night." Now I don't know which col- leges our Aunt Gertrude attended, but it must have been in her pre- school days. To most of the girls living in Rees Hall, eight hours sleep at night is a dream that is realized only when you get home on vacations. I wonder if Aunt Gertrude realized that should the average co-ed get eight hours After 30 . . . Vietnam may be trouble, Berlin may be rubble; Tests came and went, I now have a scent; Semester grades burst my bubble.

(like boyfriends 11) If I'd had any sense at all, 1 would have quit right there at that eight-hours business, but I read on. "Next, every college girl, be she freshman or senior, should take one night off and go down- town and buy something." Now this I agree with! Why couldn't Thursday night become known as "Rees Hall Night at Hovland's"? All it would take is effort, plan- ning, and MONEY. And every- body knows co-eds have plenty of all three. So I continued on through the article although by now I could barely see because of die tears in m\' eyes for what might be! But the next little jewel knocked me cold. "If you really want to suc- ceed in college both scholasticallv and socially, it will become your practice and duty to take one night each week and do nothing but sew buttons, applj facials, sew rips, "do" your nails, and care for personal grooming. T/iis is a MUST! Right then I decided I'd failed in college. I'm doomed to go home a scholastic and social failure—for not once in the years I've attended Union have I ever said to an in- structor, "I'm sorry, but I can't write that paper you want next class, because tomorrow night is my 'facial night'!" Nor have I ever failed a test because my "nails just wouldn't dry and how could I study." So get out the sackcloth and ashes, Mom and Dad, here conies your first-class collegiate failure! The article ended something like this: "I know this sounds a bit un- practical and far-fetched, but try it and you'll be surprised at how much easier and happier college life is!" So I did for one week. I planned to get eight full hours sleep every night; consequently, I slept through in)- first period classes ev- en' dayl It was gr«it, but I missed two tests and three quizzes, and ni\- grades sank faster than an overweight boulder. T took a night off and went down-town. But I missed the bus coming back and got in late. Con- sequently, I'm campus-bound for six weeks. My night of personal improve- ments went fine—I burned my face with a hot wash cloth, stuck a needle into my thumb at least six inches and incorrectly sewed on 12 bu ttons. Besides that, I'm behind in three classes, have two incom- pletes, and have two term papers due next week that aren't even started! Woe is me—I have onlv one consolation. For one brief week, I had a glimpse of "how much easier and happier" college life could bc, and it almost "done USA Versus Vietnam by Ray Roth During World War II Winston Churchill coined the symbol "V" which was used to indicate victory and to raise the morale of the fighting men by its use just prior to any major engagement with the enemy. To the average man on the street today, "V" stands for Viet- nam, and in pursuing the subject there usually follows a volley of il- legitimate adjectives describing the vexed situation that exists in that war-tom country. In a Gallop Poll released last month, Newsweek reported that Vietnam topped the list of problems the public wanted the Johnson administration to tackle first. For die past three years both the Ken- nedy ajid the Johnson administrations have vainly sought to solve this problem. In the closing months of 1961, the Viet Cong had captured only a few hundred square miles of territory inside South Vietnam. Today the Viet Cong lay claim to over half of South Vietnam. After each new military engagement this territory is seen to bc expanding and choking the combined efforts of South Vietnam's Premier Tran Van Huong and American Ambassador Maxwell Taylor's offorts to bring about peace and neutrality in tha,t country. If the present trend in Viet Cong success continues, it will only be a matter of time before United States troops in South Vietnam will re-enact the great mass evacuation of Dunkirk by the British expedi- tionary forces on tha,t ill-fated day in May, 1940. The only sucecssful solution to any enemy aggression is an all- out offense to destroy the invading forces. Where this is impossible due to guerrilla-type warfare as in South Vietnam, then the offensive war must be carried to the den of the lion. Massive ltyid, sea, and air attacks should be conducted on centers of industrial production, supply depots, government headquarters, and military- encampments to snap the backbone of the enemy. Convincing as it may sound, this would be impossible since the United States does not want to risk an all-out war with China by mak- ing large scale attacks on North Vietnam. Concerning the fundamental question of what future U. S. goals in Vietnam will be, Newsweek adequately describes them as "simply to hold on and manage the mess." The perpetual problem facing Uncle Sam now is to save face and at die same time to save the free world from loosing another country to communism simply by hanging on and managing the mess! For 1965 here's one big good-luck "V" for Uncle Sam. He'll need it in South Vietnam. Library Gets 2000 Books From Grant by Deona Harper being allotted over a three-year period ending July, 1965. The library staff Is under the supervision of Miss Floda V. Smith, head librarian. Miss Smith has served the college since 1941. The 34 students who work in the library are employed under the di- rection of Miss Smith to serve tiij over 250 patrons who utilize the library's facilities each day. Miss Gertrude Huygens, asso- ciate librarian, coordinates all cataloging of Ixxiks. Miss Huygens states, "Efficiency could be im- proved greatly if more working area were provided. The facilities of a new library are greatly an- ticipated." Miss Cliloe Foutz, graduate of Union College and former student worker, is assistant librarian in charge of the circulation of books and reference works. The Kellogg Grant is under the direction of Mrs. Ray Fowler, wife of the college president. Mrs. Fowler works in coordination with the education department in pur- chasing books for the teacher edu- cation program. More than 2,000 books will have been selected and purchased by die end of the three- Mar period. Thirty-three thousand books are circulated annually by the Union College Library from its total re- sources of more than 75,000 books, bound periodicals, and reference works. A grant received from the Kel- logg Foundation will add approx- imately 2,000 books to the li- brary's teacher education re- sources. These books are being added from the $10,000 that is L editors Dear Editor: As a freshman at Union College I am becoming increasingly ac- quaint* d with the rich traditions of the school. One of die things I admire most about our collegc is the harmoii) and good will with which many races and colors work and learn together. It has been m\ privilege to room with a youth from Korea. Union is a city of refuge in a world torn by racial strife. But in the short time I've been here 1 have witnessed a growing sentiment for ideas that could lead to trouble. As a citizen of the United States 1 have followed with interest the civil-rights strug- gle. I feel that the demands of the leaders of the movement are rea- sonable and that the cause is just. I also feel that it is the duty of everyone to do what he can on an individual level to reduce ra- cial prejudice. However, I view with alarm the opinion of some members of the church (both colored and white) that the denomination should en- ter a struggle so controversial and emotional. It is impossible for a hand of authority to change the feelings of the heart. Some Ad- ventists urge a church decree pro- claiming integration as an official church policy, an action similar to that of some of the large Prot- estant denominations. Such action would serve only to being conflict within the church and would bc a direct violation of the teach- ings of the Spirit of Prophecy. Although the civil-rights move- ment is largely the product of this decade, Mrs. White foresaw die coming crisis. Evidence of this is given in this statement: "The re- lation of the two races has been a matter hard to deal with, and I feel that it will ever remain a most perplexing problem." 9T, 214. She urges Adventists to keep (.ut of the conflict. "It is Satan's plan lo call minds to the stud}' of the color-line. If his suggestions arc heeded, there will be diversih (-: opinion and great confusion. . . . Men may advance theories, but I assure you that it will not do for us to follow human theories. So far as possible, the question should bc allowed to rest." 9T, 213-214. She described clearly the po- sition the church should take. "Tho work of proclaiming the truth for the time is not to be hindered by an effort to adjust the position of the Negro race. Should we attempt to do this, we would find that barriers like mountains would bc raised to hinder the work that Cod desires to have done. If we move quietly and ju- diciously, laboring in die way God has marked out, both white and colored people will be benefited by our labors." 9T, 214-215. It is niv prayer that people of all races in the remnant church "ill bc content with the equality everyone has in the spreading of tho third angel's inassago and look fonvard to the time when prej- udice will be abolished and all will live together in complete equality.
