Clnr a m rt Vol. XXXIV UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, April 26, 1962 No. 14 Yearbook Presented Last Friday; Dedicated To President D. i. Bieber The 1962 Golden Cords was formally presented in convocation Friday, April 20. Editor Ann Sil- verstein, senior English major, read the dedication to President David J. Bieber and presented him with a copy of the annual. Recognition was given to the winners of the poetry contest whose works appear in the annual. These are Jim Mears, Kent Selt- man, Kit Watts, and Carole Wreed. Changes in this year's annual Nurses Get Caps At May 4 Service Twenty-two sophomore nursing students will be capped at the evening capping service that will be held May 4, at 6:45. Twenty Union students and two Keene students, Beverly Hume and Patricia Davis, will be capped in the College View Church by eighteen senior nursing students from the Denver campus, accord- ing to Miss Dorothy Martin, chair- man of the department of nursing at Union. Elder Paul M. De Booy, Central Union MV Secretary, will be the speaker, Miss Martin said. Gail Trumble, instuctor on die Denver campus, will give the traditional Florence Nightingale pledge and jlight the lamps. Gad's sister, Kathleen Trumble, will be cap- ped, Miss Martin said. "The whole idea of the capping service is consecration to service. The cap represents loyalty to ser- vice and dedication to life," ex- plained Miss Martin. The students are accepting the responsibility and tradition of service that are part of the traditional nursing pro- fession that Nightingale began, Miss Martin continued. Clements Receives Dietetic Internship Within two days, Lolita Cle- ments received a $500 scholarship and one of the 12 acceptances from Loma Linda University School of Dietetics. Miss Clements, a senior home economics major, received the $500 scholarship on April 14, and notification of her acceptance to LLU on April 16. The scholarship is sponsored by the Mead-Johnson Laboratories, but is decided upon by the Ameri- can Dietetic Association. Miss Clements said that Dr. Little of the LLU school of dietetics sug- gested that she fill out one of the applications. She filled one out, then threw it away, thinking it would be of no use to apply. Later, she wrote for another application blank, and received the award. Mrs. Anne Dunn, professor of home economics, invited Miss Clements and some of her friends to breakfast the morning the awards were to be announced, to "either celebrate or cry on her shoulder." An internship from LLU is supposed to be one of the best offered, according to Miss Cle- ments, because at its completion she will have credit in graduate study amounting to half of an MA requirement. '62 Summer Bulletins Off Press April 22 The 1962 summer session bul- letins came off the Union College presses April 22-23.

In This Issue Countdown P- 4 Sign of Spring, Picture P- 3 A. S. Maxwell P- 2 Spring Fashions P- 3 Student Opinion P- 4 College Board Talks Of Expansion Plans The executive committee of the Union College board met April 22 at the Sheraton-Fontcnellc Hotel in Omaha, according to G. L. Caviness, academic dean. Among the items on the agenda was tlie selection of additional staff and faculty for the coming school year. "Detads on the ten year expansion were discussed. Some time was spent deter- mining what buildings in the ten year plan will be built first," ac- cording to Caviness. The board did not meet on the college campus this time because the members of the college board met with an insurance seminar from the General Conference. Dis- cussion in the seminar was on the current trends of insurance for large institutions. Those attending were Theo- dore Carcich, R. H. Nightingale, L. C. Evans, F. W. Bieber, W. A. Howe, R. A.

Holbrook, now associate professor of religion, recalls his college days as he points out his name in the list of alumni who have served in mission areas as Arlie Fandrich, junior math major, looks on. Alumni Will Honor (lass of '12, '37; Reed, Walls Named Guest Speakers The Union College annual Alum- ni Homecoming, featuring the classes of '12 and '37, promises to keep alumni and students busy between May 3-5, reports Mrs. E. B. Ogden, executive secretary of the Alumni Association. The All-Alumni Banquet in the dining hall on die evening of the third will feature D. J. Bieber, president of U.C., class of '36, as the main speaker. The graduating class of '62 will be accepted into membership on condition of their graduation. ASB Officers Attend EIW; SWJC Hosts Workshop tl Photo by Anderson Union's delegates to EIW at Southwestern, from L to R: Pat Phillips, Steve Gifford, Don Tan, Linda Peyer, Jim Pastor and ASB sponsor Dr. L. W. Welch. The 1962 Eastern Intercollegiate Workshop will meet on the South- western Junior College campus April 26-28. Union College will be represent- ed at the workshop by the fol- lowing delegates: ASB president- elect, Steve Gifford; newspaper editor-elect, Pat Phillips; yearbook editor-elect, Linda Peyer; ASB president, Donald Tan; ASB vice- president-elect, James Pastor; and sponsor, Dr. Welch. The delegates plan to leave UC at noon on April 24 and to return on April 29, according to Dr. Welch. The workshop will consist of both general sessions for topics applicable to all areas of student leadership and specific instruction and discussions pertinent to each individual area represented. Ac- cording to the EIW constitution, "The specific purpose shall be the acquisition of knowledge and skill pertaining to the administrative phases of student activities." ASB sponsor Welch stressed the value of the workshop for the ASB officers-clect. He stated that the workshop is necessary and ad- vantageous because it facilitates early planning for the duties of the various offices. Delegates from eight eastern SDA colleges have been invited to attend the workshop: Atlantic Union College, Columbia Union College, Emmanuel Missionaiy Col- lege, Madison College, Oakwood College, Southern Missionary Col- lege, Southwestern Junior College, and Union College. Expressing what she as a UC delegate hoped to gain from the workshop, Linda Peyer said, "I'm really looking forward to the EIW, and I know it will be helpful." Honors Convocation wdl be held Friday morning at assembly time, honoring 140 students. C. N. Rees, president of Southern Missionary College, will give the address. Rees, since his graduation from Union College in '31, has been president of Southwestern Junior College and dean of Columbia Union College. The hanging of the Golden Cords, which originated in 1906. will take place at Friday evening vespers. Elder C. B. Watts, '49, president of Okinawa Mission, will be the speaker. Watts is home on furlough and will return to Oki- nawa in June, said Mrs. Ogden. Dr. N. W. Rowland, '47, will be superintendent of the Sabbath School. Two of the alumni taking part in this program are Elder C. B. Watts and Roger Baker, '37. Elder PI. V. Reed, '37, president of the North Carolina Conference, will be the speaker of the Sabbath morning church service. Sabbath evening vespers will feature as its speaker Elder K. D. Johnson, '37, president of the North Dakota Conference. This will be followed by a social and business meeting, said Mrs. Ogden. Promenade, a music program presented Saturday evening at 8 by the Union College department of music, will bring the week end to a close. New MV Officers Mend Conclave MV workshop for the eastern Seventh-day Adventist colleges was held this year at Madison Col- lege, Madison, Tennessee, April 18-21. "The purpose of the workshop was for the exchange of ideas a- mong the officers of the various MV societies who attended," according to Mitchell Tyner, Union's MV leader for the coming year. Representing Union at the con- vention were three of next year's officers: Mitchell Tyner, leader; Evelyn Bird and Jerry Aitken; associate leaders. All of those who attended are serving as MV officers this year. Elder C. M. Maxwell, assistant professor of religion and sponsor of the campus MV socicty, also attended the workshop. Department of Nursing Receives $77,725 Grant The Union College department of nursing has recently received a $77,725 grant. The grant, given by the National Institute of Health, will be given to the department in five yearly grants of $15,545 cach. The funds are for the training of nursing stu- dents in the psychiatric nursing field, according to Miss Dorothy Martin, associate professor of nur- sing. Utilization of the grant is to be in specific areas. According to Miss Martin, the funds provide salary for two instructors in psychiatric nursing as well as the purchase of new equipment and other operating costs. "The only problem at the pres- ent," says Miss Martin,, "is that we do not have a qualified Sev- enth-day Adventist to fill the one open position of instructor in psy- chiatric nursing. We have one in- structor in this area now, but we are looking for someone else too since the grant provides salary for two instructors." According to Miss Martin, there are several graduate nurses who arc planning to go to the university this summer to start on their train- ing in the field of psychiatric nur- sing, but there will be vacancies that will need to be filled by their absence. The grant has made possible the purchase of reference books for the Colorado campus library, a pro- jector and tape recorder to be used in audio-visual training, and other items, said Miss Martin. Staff, Students, Visit Historical Convention Three teachers and two students from Union College are attending the annual meeting of the Missi- ssippi Valley Historical Association April 26-27. The men, who left the campus Tuesday afternoon for Milwaukee, Wisconsin are Dr. Everett N. Dick, research professor in American his- tory; Dr. Russell K. Nelson, pro- fessor of history and sociology; Mr. Dale B. Hepker, instructor in Eng- lish; and Richard Booker and Ar- thur Roth, history majors. "The Mississippi Valley meeting is one of two big historical con- ventions held every year," said Dr. Nelson. "The other is the Ameri- can Historical Association meeting. The former is primarily for those interested in American history and tho latter is for all areas of histori- cal research." One of tlie most cherished tra- ditions of Union College is the hanging of the golden cords. Since the first golden cord was hung in 1906, 789 cords have been hung for Union College graduates who have gone into mission work overseas. This year the hanging of the cords will take place May 5, at 8 p.m. Carl Watts, class of '49, who is a return missionary from Japan will be the keynote speaker for this program. "The Other End of the Golden Cord" will be described by Marion Zummach Bakker, class of '52. Mrs. Bakker held her golden cord in Africa. Returned missionary from China and the middle east, Arthur Mazat, class of '40, will present the chal- lenge for more golden cords. 16 Cords This year 16 cords will be hung. They will be hung for the follow- ing people: D. K. Brown, Philippines, Ardys Bodtker Brown, Philippines, David Dennis, Uruguay, Charlotte Morris Dennis, Uruguay, Samuel L. De- Shay, Nigeria, George I. Gantz, Grand Cayman Islands, Elmerine Arlith Gantz, Grand Cayman Is- lands, Don Gilbert, Taiwan, Irene Julius Gilbert, Taiwan, Jane Con- rad Guy, Peru, Boyd E. Olson, Singapore, Elizabeth Wester Olson, Singapore, Daniel H. Peckham, Korea, Billie Lambert Peckham, Korea, Roy E. Perrin, Haiti, Fern Beltz Perrin, Haiti. What does it mean to have a golden cord hung for you? Are you excited and dirilled? "Thrilled? Well, no,—soberly ex- uberant—maybe," says D. W. Hol- brook, assistant professor of reli- gion. Holbrook spent nearly 11 years in South America. Helpful Tradition "The tradition of the Golden cords is a big help to missionaries," says Holbrook. "Union College graduates have something that keeps them together that mission- aries from other schools do not have." Each year after the cords are hung, a piece of the cord is sent to the missionary. The Holbrooks confessed that when they re- ceived their golden cords things were quite silent until the lumps in dieir diroats dissolved. "Just to know that diere may be a thousand new students but there is a golden cord that is ours, lets us know drat 'Union never forgets her own,'" said Holbrook. "We felt a sustaining influence like a cord that really tied us to our school," another cord holder expressed. Mrs. Alton Bringle, re- turned missionary from Africa, said that the knowledge that this school was praying for those at the other end of the golden cords was consoling. Religious Liberty Talks Set for Chape! Period Religious liberty orations will be given in Friday's chapel, April 27. "The orations are sponsored by the Union College Religious Lib- erty Chapter. Union's chapter was the first to be organized among our schools," said Elder C. Mervyn Maxwell, assistant professor of re- ligion and sponsor of tlie chapter. "This is the chapter's fourth year," he continued. "We have to bring religious liberty issues to the attention of our people," said Dan Fausset, chap- ter president, "for religious free- dom will be one of the main di- visions departing God's people from the world."

There are many reasons for this—graduation, lack of finances, lack of ambition or aim. What will happen to those diat do not come back? Will Union have done some- thing for diem diat really counts? Some will go on to graduate work. These last 21 class days are important to diem. There are still mountains of in- formation and background material to be sorted and digested before they really feel ready for die university. These last term papers and book reports are important to diem. A few wdl go to odier colleges. Some will be Seventh-day Advendst colleges, some will not. In eidier case, these days are vital. These last class periods are a bridge onto higher ground. For diese students, every gem of knowledge, bodi scholastic and spiritual, is important. What they learn now will in many ways determine their tomorrow. And for diose who will not be going on to odier class rooms, what are diese last assignments, lectures, and extra curriculars going to provide? It depends on die individual in almost every way. In the remaining diirty-eight days, he can lay up know- ledge and understanding which will help him in some way to "live the most and serve the best." He can budd up a spiritual reserve to meet the atheist and die antagonist of the world. He can lay up dates, facts and theories widi which to meet the everyday problems of life. Or, one can decide that nothing has helped him in die past, and so why bother with die future? After all, only thirty-eight days can't make too great an impression, can they? It all depends on the individual and the decision for each of diese days. And there are only thirty-eight more. A Hit Or A Miss The second-grader's blond curls glistened in the spring sun when I met her. Her little red lunch pail clanged against her knee as she walked up the college driveway. She liked to walk home diat way so she could see all die "college kids,'' she told me. Someday she'd go to Union herself. She waved good-bye as she skipped off singing the new song she had learned. Just then a collegian in a sleek car rounded the cor- ner at an excessive speed. He swerved to miss her, and he did. He had gotten campus tickets for improper parking ancl had been lectured for driving after 7 p.m. But nobody gave him a ticket for speeding. Will it take a tragedy to reduce his speed on the college drive? I wonder what will happen to the second grader next time. 4 {ten 30 Each teacher has his own method of handing out the Purdue Teacher-Rating Scale to his students.

Inowledge, Personality, Decide Teacher Success by Connie Because many of Union's pro- fessors have been issuing teacher- rating questionnaires during the past week', a frequent topic for discussion and debate on campus is the question, "What makes a teacher a good teacher?" Aside from the fact that all college students face a variety of educators during their collegiate experience, many are preparing to be on the other side of the desk- as indicated by the report that 50 percent of this year's senior class will graduate with either an education major or minor. Make Or Break In an attempt to answer the question, students from various classes and majors were asked their opinions of what makes a teacher outstanding.

There's nothing so boring as one that stands sedately behind his or her spectacles and rattles off a bunch of facts that you already know—if you read your lesson. On the other hand, if a teacher has a wide-enough understanding and knowledge of his subject and can let his words flow out freely, elaborating on some phases and stressing certain points, then I'm motivated to learn more." Monte Morris, junior business administration major: "A good teacher knows the subject he is teaching well and is able to put it across to the student proficiently. He is the teacher who is able to hold the attention of his class. He has a well-rounded personality and is popular with the students." Real Human Type Myrna Kahler, senior English major: "I consider real human- type human beings the best teach- ers. Sympathetic, helpful, fair teachers hold my deepest Chris- tian affection and respect. I en- dure, but can't appreciate, fos- silized individuals who are the only people on earth who know anything and who answer or avoid my every question with a neatly worded, sarcastic remark. Beverly Moore, sophomore home economics major: "Some teachers seem unapproachable outside their classrooms. This may be because the)' are never in their offices or that they simply feel that their time is too rushed for discussions. I realize that many times teachers are confronted with arguments for additional points on an exam or a daily paper, but there are still times when a student may not understand a teacher's line of thought or method in grading and I feel that he should have the opportunity to talk it over. These extra minutes help the interested student gain full benefit from his lessons. Continue To Improve Don Burgcson, senior ministerial student: "A good teacher will have the best interest of the stu- All Have Sinned And Come Short.... Unto The 3rd and 4th Generation by Steve Gifford Last Sabbath I walked to a local gas station with a friend of mine. The owner was a Seventh-day Adventist, the station was closed. A lone barrel stood like a guard inside the glass door of the station. The top looked as though it had been cut loose, folded in half, then thrown inside the barrel. A shattered welder's helmet gave a slight hint that a tragedy had occured. One of the owners of the station was welding legs on the barrel when the end blew out. The terrible impact of steel against flesh knocked the man on the pavement, stealing his life. Only a month ago I received a letter from a friend, telling how cancer is eating away her mother.. The letter echoed the plea of all mankind, "How can we know God is merciful when death and destruction are so cruel to our loved ones?" The writer was not showing a lack of faith. She was only putting into words the question a majority are afraid to admit they do not understand. The welder was a respected member of this community, a deacon in the College View church. Why did he have to die, when he had a family to support, a good potential future, and a church to help? Why should a dear mother, who has helped her children over the roughness and coarseness of life, now suffer while her children watch more roughness and coursenessf The Bible says that "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." And then, "The wages of sin is death." The third commandment tells how iniquity and its corresponding results will take its toll unto the third and fourth generation. This causes us to recognize that all have sinned, and our bodies are filled with the degenerative processes of sin. Because of having sinned, the Lord does not counteract the general, long-term results of sin. I believe the Lord allows us to see the full results of sin, and even permits accidents to happen, so that we'll desire something better. Paul wrote, "O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" He realized his sinful tendencies and the results of a continued process of sin in his body. We will continue to see inconsistencies in this life, but these inconsistencies must draw us closer to Heaven. Our God is a true God, one who knows our many heartaches and trials. He sees every death, every sorrow, every pain. The mother with cancer, the welder, the loved ones left behind—we must conscientiously pray, "Even so come, Lord Jesus." dent at heart. He will know his subject and continue to improve his method of getting it across to his students. He will elevate and uphold the standards of the school in the classroom. His supreme goal will be to instill in the minds of the students those things that will build good character. Dave Wolkwitz, freshman min- isterial student: "I believe a teach- er should be able to control his temper. A person can hardly ask some teacher a question in class without the teacher thinking he wants to argue or doubts his word." Not Infallible Judy Gray, senior secretarial sciencc major: "It seems to me a good teacher has an indefinable somediing which is hard to pin- point. He has a good command of his subject matter, enjoys student respect, and values student opin- ion. By this, I mean, although he is strict, he does not claim to be infallible. Byron Bradley, senior physical education major: "Personality and knowledge of the subject are most important in my opinion. I like a teacher who has a good presen- tation and interesting teaching methods. A sense of humor means a lot." Correction In the last issue of the CLOCK TOWER a front-page article con- tained some inaccurate statements. Apparently the information given us was incorrect. The following are corrected facts concerning El- der Arthur S. Maxwell. Over 35 million copies of his 93 books have been sold. Fifty-six of these books are for children. He has been putting out a new volume of the Bedtime Stories each year for the past 38 years. His books have been published in 23 lan- guages.

Charles Russell Class of '62 Led i tors Open letter to the Golden Cords staff: Dear Editor: I want to take this opportunity to publicly express to Ann Silver- stein and her Golden Cords staff my appreciation for the beautiful annual that she and her staff have produced. The use of the art work, student poetry, and literary copy help make the 1962 Golden Cords a real work of art, not just a picture book. Probably no one but a former editor can realize the amount of planning and real work involved in an annual, and I can certainly tell that Ann has put much real thought and labor into the 1962 edition. Sincerely yours, Ardis Dick Time Off To Think: Slow Down To Live (ACP)—Take some time off from doing and think. In other words, slow down and live, Glynn Penin- ger advises in Current Sauce, Northwestern State College, Louisi- ana. The college student has become a most amazing automatic robot. He can type a 40-page paper and not know a word that has been written; he can work a page of math by process or formula, and it never dawns on him as to why or how the problems were solved. In short, he is so wrapped up in getting enough education that he loses sight of one of education's main goals-to make an intelligent thinker. If today the college student is too busy, it is because the people of the nation are too busy. The drive to "do more things" is al- most like an inherited trait—it's hard to get rid of. A new club is organized on campus and with tlie plea that this club is worthwhile, this club needs you, the member- ship race is on. Because students do more, they feel they should relax more, and again the race is on. It doesn't seem illogical to tlie college stu- dent that he relax in a hurry. Rather it seems a necessity. He must get everything done, even if it's only partially so. It may be tme that America's youth are too busy, that college students are too busy, but this "is because of their surroundings. Col- lege students ignore the "Slow Down and Live" sign just as the rest of the world does. Accelerated learning is a mar- velous invention, but a little time off with nothing to do but think- about what's going on might help the purpose, as well as the pro- gress, of the youth today.
