346 THE CLOCK TOWER September 27, 1968 editorials as we see it... The Clock Tower editorial staff has been hard at work attempting to keep you, the students, in- formed. A summer edition of the Clock Tower was sent out to all prospective students, and now our second issue is in your hands. We hope that our publication will be benefi- cial to you. We want you to read it and tell us if you think we need changes or additions. We want to know what you want and we want your sug- gestions. If any of you are interested in any of the staff positions please inform us of this. We also welcome your letters. Our aim is to publish a paper that will stim- ulate your thinking and keep you informed of campus activities as well as other community or national news that is relevant to our college. If our news seems negative at times, we want you to understand that we are not looking for the "bad" to report. However, the very nature of "news" indicates that it is something out of the ordinary and unusual. If it happens that negative aspects are what come to the fore we feel obli- gated to report them. We are not here to criticize faculty members, administrators or students. We want to give only facts. We hope this is a good year for us. And we sincerely wish each of you the best of success in the 1968-69 college school year. the truth seekers What is our purpose in enrolling in an insti- tution of higher education? Are we here primarily to meet a husband or wife or to increase our sal- ary potentials? While these objectives may be valid, our main goal must be a rational dem- ocratic search for truth, truth in all realms. Historian Henry Steele Commager defined a college and its role as "a place where young and old are joined together in the acquisition of knowledge and the search for truth. Society pro- vides freedom for scholars and for the university as an institution . . ., because it wants to discover truth about as many things as possible. The uni- versity has a special obligation to act as the critic and the conscience of society." Concern for truth must be a never-ending search. This search must not be arrested or re- stricted, for education does not flourish in an at- mosphere of complacency and stagnation. When searching for truth, we must be dem- ocratic and rational. All we read and hear we must evaluate critically. This means positive as well as negative criticism. Truth is tentative, changing and subject to constant verification. Therefore, if opposing positions are presented be- fore us, we must sift each argument carefully to separate the rational and valid from the irra- tional and invalid. We must be willing to open our minds and re- evaluate new facts when they are presented be- fore us. By ferreting out and identifying incon- sistencies of values, judgments, policies, customs, traditions, actions and opinions, we then open our minds to truth. When we state a conclusion, criticism or opinion, however, we must not seek a one hun- dred percent consensus of it. We must seek rather a consensus of spirit. We cannot force theories and dogma upon fellow students and faculty. We must relate ourselves to the search for truth in a democratic and rational manner. At college we have the opportunity to delve into the thoughts and opinions of our classmates and instructors. Our lives and minds can be en- riched if we are searching for truth and not for quick frozen or pre-canned dogma. "Real educa- tion provokes original dynamic thought" (Roger Burlingame). E. G. White in Education tells us that we have the "power akin to that of the cre- ator, the power to think and to do." Neither our instructors nor our classmates can think and search for us. We must think and reason for ourselves. Our college education should, therefore, mean emancipation from prej- udice and narrowing proverbialism. It should make us cosmopolitan citizens. Our education should lead us not only to the power of critical analysis, but also to wholesome and joyous faith in truth. The educated persons should know that the universe is his unchartered challenge and that God is trustworthy. Joyce Bennett Associate editor LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS THE CLOCK TOWER September 13, 1968 Four Golden Cords staff mem- bers returned to Union 5-11 days before registration this fall to begin work on this year's book. : Jerry Moon, editor, says they began work early "in order to produce a well-organized, high- quality book without last-minute rush or missed deadlines." The 1969 Golden Cords will.be published by Inter-Collegiate Press of Shawnee Mission, Kan- sas.

The new quarters for the book- store are approximately four times larger than the previous quarters. Mrs. Mary Holm, full- time worker in the bookstore, says that now "the things can be seen because there is enough room." Mr. V. F. Mayer has been in charge of the bookstore since 1957 as well as being chief ac- countant. From the years 1957 to 1961 the bookstore's total sales went from $41,335 to $57,238. In 1962 room 101 was renovated when the old partitions were re- moved, a new floor was laid and the room was painted. The store was also changed from the old- fashioned clerk-service type store to the self-service type store. The year after remodeling, sales rose to $73,606. Each year new supplies have been added and four years ago personal items were added to the inventory. Total sales for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1968, amounted to $126,550. Free prizes valuing $200 to be given at reception Photo bv Gary Bollinger Carol Weng finds her books for her first semester classes relatively easily in the newly expanded bookstore. Golden Cords staff members return early to begin work val between final deadline and delivery date. This year the advertising sec- tion will appear in the Peanut Hill Populace, allowing 30 pages of additional space in the Golden Cords. The commercial photography will again be done by Ken Schmeiding of the Schmeiding- Hamilton Studios in Lincoln. The yearbook theme and page organization have already been planned, according to Moon. "Crazy Days" will launch the 1968-69 school year Saturday, September 14, at 8:15 p.m., in the Union College Auditorium, ac- cording to Glenn Davenport, di- rector of college relations. The traditional faculty-stu- dent reception will be high- lighted this year by a CR in- novation of approximately 40 free prizes valued at over $200. The distribution of these gifts will take place throughout the evening and eligible winners will be anyone inside the gymnasium participating in the reception and other activities of the eve- ning. Included among the prizes to be given away will be cash, snack bar certificates, several orders for wedding invitations donated by the press, several instrumental lessons by Melvin Hill, chairman of the music department, gift certificates for services or items from all the industries, including the laundry and several copies of Everett's Dick's UNION, College of the Golden Cords. A short program planned and presented by the ASB under the direction of Pat Morrison, ASB president, will also be on the agenda for the reception. Re- freshments will be served after the handshake. With the new bookstore's ad- ditional space, a larger variety of items will be available. The ambassador line of cards and gift wrap supplies, made by Hall- mark, make a new department. Most needs of art students can now be purchased in the book- store since this area has also- been expanded. Acrylic Polymer Emulsion paints are one new item in this area. Gum and candy will also be sold. Plans are being made for a record department with stereo records of a wide musical variety. Along with the increase in space and supplies there is an in- crease in employees. This year the workers are Mrs. Mary Holm, Mrs. Lee Allen, Kathy Stone- brook and Mary Montgomery. This is a 100% increase. The bookstore will operate from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m. to 12 a.m. on Friday. Loveless to speak at first rally meeting Friday night in gym Elder William Loveless, pastor of the Sligo Church in Washing- ton, D.C., will be the guest speak- er at the MV Rally Weekend, September 20-22. He will speak at the first meeting Friday at 7:45 p.m. in the college audito- rium. Elder Loveless will also de- liver the Sabbath sermon. The Sabbath services of the rally will be held in Lincoln's Pershing Auditorium where all of the area churches will attend. Dave Ferguson, MV leader, says that this will be the society's big- gest weekend of the year. Transportation and dinner will be provided for the college stu- dents by the Lincoln area res- idents. According to Ferguson, the purpose of the weekend is to acquaint the students with the various committees of the MV So- ciety. The goal of this year's society is "to involve as many students as we can in all of the activities —as near total involvement as possible," said Ferguson. The first MV Council meeting to be held in several years met on September 8 to continue plan- ning for the rally. Ferguson plans that. ,the: .council will meet once a month "to better serve the spir- itual needs of the campus."

The purpose of the course is to give future teachers a preview of the preparation and organiza- tion required for registering stu- dents as well as actual classroom experience, according to Dr. Mel- vin Wolford, assistant professor of education. Bob Holbrook, who taught at Court to decide on traffic fines A traffic court is being initi- ated this year to handle any grievances students may have concerning tickets received for traffic violations on the campus. The court will consist of three student representatives, three faculty representatives and the dean of student affairs, who will act as chairman. The chairman will have a vote only in the case of a tie. If a student receives a ticket which he feels is unfair, he must first pay the fine within the three-day time limit. Then he may bring his complaint before the court. If the court decides in his favor, he will then have the fine refunded. The court will meet once a week. Blue Mountain Academy in Pennsylvania, said he learned much about the organization needed to run an academy. He added that registration there takes the student approximately one half hour, since work and class schedules are prepared dur- ing the summer. Several students also had unique experiences. Larry Brodin and Duffy Ure, who went to En- terprise Academy, Kansas, tried to train horses which had never been saddled or bridled. Duffy also took the students dove hunt- ing. Ed Harlan, who worked at Ma- plewood Academy, Minnesota, helped three teachers move into their homes in one day. The following are the students who taught and the academies where they taught. Bob Holbrook, Blue Mountain; Cheryl Diebel, Rosie Lloyd and Murrell Tull, Campion; Larry Brodin, Jackie Lange, Ernie Pearson and Duffy Ure, Enterprise; Barbara Jacobs, Lincoln Public; Juanita Bischoff, Ed Harlan and John Griswell, Maplewood; Karen Essig, Bob Daniel and Joyce Bennett, Oak Park; Elmer Hauck, Pioneer Val- ley; Roma Sanders and Janice Jones, Platte Valley; Don Roth, Rio Lindo; Myrtle Borton and Karen Downing, Sunnydale; Karla Krampert and Norita Nel- son, Wisconsin. Peck tops literature evangelist sales Union College literature evan- gelists have returned home after a summer of work in the Central Union and neighboring states. Bob Peck, president of the Ministerial Club, led the Central Union with over $5,000 in deliv- eries in eastern Colorado. Orrie Bell, who helped lead out in the Colporteur Club last year, served as the student assistant in Wyo- ming. Mel Eisele worked with the Nebraska students, while Steve Smith spent one month as the Kansas student assistant. The students returning to Un- ion from the Central Union will bring with them over $18,000 in scholarships. But as Jerry Pogue said, "It's not the sales we made, but the contacts that will count for heaven." - ALICE'S RESTAURANT HOME STYLE COOKING Open 6 a.m.—8 p.m. 4013 So. 48th WELCOME TO UNION FREE MALT with Haircut Before Oct. 7 BRING THIS AD Want the College Look?

Moon feels fitness, sportsmanship objectives of intramural activities A full intramural season has teen planned for this year. A wide number of activities are included to enable a greater number of students to partic- ipate. Donald Moon, instructor of physical education, feels that maintaining physical fitness and developing true sportsmanship are the objectives of intramural activities. The final deadline for signing up for football and soccer is Sunday, September 15. The reg- ular flagball season will begin the following day, with all games being held on the academy rec- reational field beginning at 5:15. The soccer season will get un- derway September 22 at 4:30 on the academy field. Those interested in golf will have until September 29 to sign up for the Stroke Tourney to be held in early October. The women's intramural pro- gram will provide competition in badminton, volleyball, tennis and basketball. These activities will again be held on Thursday eve- nings, with the badminton tour- nament to be held early this fall. Hall at Union for 31 years Miss Pearl Hall is now begin- ning her thirty-first year of teaching at Union College. In the past she has taught Spanish and French in the modern language department. Miss Hall has asked for a light- ened load this year because of her recent illness which forced her to take a sick leave second semester last year. This year she will teach Representative Span- ish Authors, Modern Spanish Au- thors and Spanish-American Lit- erature. Last year during the second semester Miss Hall spent two weeks in Porter Hospital in Den- ver, Colorado, and then spent several days with Mrs. Kathryn Edwards, dean of nurses at Por- ter. Miss Hall then spent two months in Tucson, Arizona, with Miss Rachael Christman, former dean at Andrews University, and Miss Beatrice Holquest, former chairman of the home economics department at Andrews. Apparently, the Arizona sun- shine did Miss Hall good because she has come back healthy and happy, according to Miss Ruth Whitfield, a close friend. Miss Hall has always had an interest in the foreign students on campus. She tries to see that all their needs are supplied. Miss Hall is also active in alumni work. She keeps track of the Union College alumni who have become missionaries, and she has charge of the golden cords program each year. According to Miss Whitfield, Miss Hall "has always loved teaching and has always gone the second mile for her students."

Their first quarter ends today, when they officially become juniors. Their first quarter study in- cluded learning basic nursing procedures. The first half was spent on wards and the second in operating rooms as well as wards. The seniors began their stud- ies on June 24. They did both medical-surgical nursing and psychiatric nursing. The facil- ities of the Adams County Com- munity Mental Health Center were used for the first time this quarter, in addition to those of Porter Hospital. Community Mental Health Centers bring help to people in their community and in this way the workers feel that more people will take advantage of their serv- ices, according to Miss Ruth Hal- ler, chairman of the department of nursing. The students gained practical experience working with the so- cial worker who does the evalu- ations on court cases to deter- mine whether or not an individ- ual is mentally ill. Students also worked with the social worker who takes care of welfare pa- tients and sees that they receive adequate care. Students participated in var- ious group therapy sessions which included family therapy, marriage counseling, working with emotionally disturbed chil- dren and participating in psy- chodrama sessions in which pa- tients who have problems act out and dramatize situations in order to help solve their own problems. This year the senior class is composed of 11 students from Union and two from Southwest- ern Union College, Keene, Texas. On September 23 a ceremony will be held at which time two stripes will be placed on the senior nurs- ing students' caps and one stripe on the juniors' caps. Activities of the nursing stu- dents other than studies and hos- pital work, included a picnic to welcome the new students on July 8 and an outing at Cherry Creek reservoir August 1 where the main activity was water-ski- ing. The seniors spent August 23- 27 at Monument Valley where they worked in the hospital and clinic and toured the valley. The fall quarter on the Denver campus begins Monday. The jun- iors will be taking Nursing of Adults 1 (medical-surgical nurs- ing) and the seniors will be tak- ing Public Health Nursing and Pediatric Nursing. letters Dear Fellow Students, Welcome to the college of the Golden Cords.

Second class postage paid at Lincoln, Nebraska THE CLOCK TOWER September 13, 1968 Registration line begins early for some Unionites How early do you have to get up in order to be at the head of the line on the first day of reg- istration? One Union College co- ed thought that 5:30 a.m. would be sufficient. But upon arriving at the gym, she found three fel- lows already ahead of her. They had retreated to the shelter of a nearby car to escape the early morning breezes. But once you have crashed through the doors which should have opened 15 minutes before and waded through the first few lines, the real fun begins. What could be more frustrating than to survive the pilgrimage to sta- tion 4 only to remember that you have already spent part of the $300 you were saving for your entrance deposit? After reserving an old job in the salt mines you trudge some- what reluctantly on to station 7. When the head of the line is finally reached, the mistake is realized, for you are only a soph- omore this year. At long last your schedule is approved by your advisor and you march triumphantly on to station 9. Time seeps slowly by, and your name is called, loud and clear. It seems that two of the sections you have registered for have been closed and you forgot to list your lab time for sociology course number 57. But time is on your side—that is, be- hind you—and soon you are neaded for station 10. Until this year, you have been able to avoid all those shots you should have had. But not today. More immune than you have been for some time, you proceed to the student center where last year's Golden Cords picture of you in your long hair and mus- tache is substitued for this year's Peanut Hill pose. You are now on the home stretch, and as you speed to sta- tion 12, you are suddenly re- minded of the campus driving regulations. Driving cautiously and watching for passing pedes- trians, you pay an additional $12 for the privilege of safe driving. In your amazement at seeing the final station, you accidentally misplace your completed form. Because of this, you must start all over—do not pass go, do not collect $314. Photo by Gory Bollinger The end was near as students visit- ed the student center and were asked various questions concerning ASB ac- tivities. A senior reflects at registration Two-score months ago I first made application to Union Col- lege, home of the golden cords, tomato entree sauce, creaky ad building stairs and the Peanut Hill Populace, which I originally believed to be the Union College agriculture department. Now passed are the freshman hours of anxiety, ACT, and Art Understanding, and a new world of seminar and Graduate Record Exams opens before me in its splendor. As I weave my way through my last registration line at Union College (wishing all the Photo by Gory Bollinger Larry Brodin reaches station 4 on registration day and gives his entrance fee to Mrs. Floyd Bresee before proceeding. while I were at home in my fad- ing swimming suit, sipping a lemonade, and reading McCar- thy's latest protest speech), I wonder how many of my past emotions are being duplicated in the shining faces of the await- ing freshmen swarming around Station 2. How many A's and F's will soon be recorded on their clean, crisp transcripts, how many classes dropped, how many bouffants poofed in the Nebras- ka weather? After a total of 123 ice cream cones from the Dairy Queen, $10.52 paid to the library in late charges, $23 in worship fines, five books lost, one broken arm from the ski trip, 20 all-night typing extravaganzas and two arrivals at 11:16 p.m. on Saturday night, I am told that I am ready for employment, marriage, unem- ployment or spinsterhood. I cer- tainly hope this is true. Although I feel no more cap- able in mental exercise nor any more vigorously stimulated to solve the foreign aid problem than during my freshman year, perhaps the sight of my diploma next May will assure me my ef- forts were not in vain.
