Alumni Ass#n Presents 
'Perri' Tomorrow Night 
The Union College Alumni As-
sociation will sponsor the Techni-
color 35mm film, "Perri", Saturday, 
January 17, at 8:15 p.m. 
To find the heroine of his most 
captivating real life romance, Walt 
Disney explored the primitive 
areas of the western states and 
Anally located the location he 
wanted for "Perri" a thousand 
miles from Hollywood. 
In the forest solitudes of north-
ern Utah, remote from all human 
traffic, the Technicolor feature 
production records nature's own 
love-story in the lives of all the 
animals involved in the most fas-
cinating of wildlife dramas. 
Perri, whose life and loves be-
come the center of a great adven-
ture, is a dainty, perky, frolic-
some little female pine squirrel. 
Porro is her admiring companion 
—her handsome steady, when the 
time for courtship finally arrives. 
Perri and Porro are the real life 
duplicates of the principal charac-
ters in Felix Salten's book, "Perri." 
Salten also authored "Bambi," 
-which Disney translated into his 
"beloved animation picture. 
As Walt Disney's unique true-
life fantasy, "Perri," is being 
-viewed throughout the country, we 
are happy to report that the little 
heroine still lives in her Utah 
paradise. Forest rangers report 
that she and her mate, Porro, are 
quite well and happy, and that one 
of Perri's own children looks like 
her famous mother. 
Registration for the second se-
mester of this school year will be-
gin on Sunday, January 25, with 
classes starting on Monday, Jan-
uary 26. 
Classes will be available for 
those students who wish to enter 
school at this time.

On Communion with the M- Wise 
In another week the first semester of this school year will be 
ended. A new semester will lie before us unused and untried. What 
will we do with it? 
A few weeks ago at the beginning of 1959 many of us made New 
Year's resolutions. These decisions probably, in the majority of cases, 
were made concerning onr "out-of-classroom" life. Now at the end of 
an old semester and the beginning of a new one is a good time to rehaul 
our study habits. 
If perhaps you are enrolled in a much disliked class, try studying 
a little extra on that subject; your interest will increase in proportion 
to your added efforts. Many times our dislike of a course stems from 
the fact that we know nothing about it except the information the 
teacher hands out in class. 
After frantically cramming for tests next week, many of us will 
doubtless determine that second semester's exams will not find us so 
unprepared. We'll be more than willing to do the extra daily note taking 
and text book reading to avoid the test week rush. 
In our list of study improvement habits we should not forget to 
list a closer communion with the One who is the Source of all wisdom 
and knowledge. 
A. T. 
On Using your Qod~given Zalents 
A student said he was capable of getting "A" grades; but added, 
"I figure that if I can get C's without working, there's no sense in my 
struggling for A's." Perhaps you have heard similar words; perhaps 
you have agreed with them, or even echoed them yourself. But stop 
and think. Are you really happy doing poor or mediocre work if you 
are capable of doing fetter? I think not, for some of the greatest 
happiness is found in accepting new challenges, undertaking new adven-
tures, and accepting responsibilities—all of which may be found in one's 
studies no less than in other activities. 
Let us look at some passages from the pen of inspiration. In Messa-
ges to Young People, which we might well consider a handbook for 
Adventist youth, we find the following statements: 
"Your intellectual and moral faculties are God's gifts, talents 
intrusted to you for wise improvement, and you are not at liberty to 
let them lie dormant for want of proper cultivation, or be crippled and 
dwarfed by inaction." p. 39. 
"Those who are satisfied with low attainments fail of being workers 
together with God." p. 42. 
"You should be content with no mean attainments. Aim high, and 
spare no pains to reach the standard." p. 36. 
"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less 
than we have ability to do." p. 309. 
"He who is indolent... places in his pathway that which will always 
be an obstruction. His career is very different from the career which 
God marked out for him. . . ." p. 210. 
Can we afford to follow a way of life that God has not intended 
for as to follow? If we do, we must travel it alone, for He cannot 
possibly be with us. But to travel without God is to be doomed, for 
He alone knows the way.

cAa J See Jt 
By George Fischer 
With the unwritten pages of a 
young 1959 before us, it is a popu-
lar pastime to speculate as to what 
the next few months will bring to 
the World, our nation, and to us 
as individuals. Resolutions are 
made and a universal determina-
tion toward greater accomplish-
ments is in evidence. 
The United States, during 
(the 
holidays, announced a bid for 
space-race supremacy in its nearly 
9,000 pound "talking satellite." As 
we patted ourselves on the back, 
Russia successfully launched what 
she called a man-made planet, 
Lunik, which regained for them 
the lead. This race looks like a 
marathon with the outcome any-
body's guess. 
Western European unity took a 
step forward with the creation of 
the European Common Market) 
United in this economic block are 
Italy, France, West Germany, and 
the Benelux area. Conspicuously 
absent from the group Is Great 
Britain who refused to join for 
various reasons. One of the sig-
nificant aspects of this historic 
move is, of course, the supposed 
end of the long quarrel between 
France and Germany, which has 
been a major hurtle barring the 
unification of the western powers. 
Latin America, an area which 
appears to be a hotbed of revolu-
tions saw the culmination of one 
as dictator Batista fled his country 
to seek refuge in another dicta-
torship, the Dominican Republic. 
He shares his refuge with General 
Juan Peron, former Argentine 
strong-man. Cuban power now 
rests with Fidel Castro, leader of 
the rebellion which has kept Cuba 
in a turmoil for so long. 
Union College is In full swing 
again with all of its vacation-rest-
ed (?) students happily digging in-
to the books again. With exam 
week so (shudder) close, this seems 
like a wise thing to do. 
These Faces in the Crowd: Dick 
Hammond, from Denver—a min-
isterial student; and Stella Ra-
mirez, one of our talented "South-
westerners."

Zhis, too, Shall Pass 
By Ted Hurley 
A few months ago I strolled 
through the halls and rooms of 
old North Hall on a hunch that I 
might find a sheet of glass for my 
study table. The rooms were as 
barren as the proverbial "Mother 
Hubbard's cupboard," yet the at 
mosphere that lingered about the 
place was not unpleasant. 
I stopped by the still partly-
furnished guest room and thumbed 
through the register. From Del 
Delker of Glendale, California, to 
Edwin C. Johnson of Washington 
D.C., hundreds had expressed their 
appreciation for the use of the 
room. In the worship room the 
piano, with many of its keys lack 
ing ivory, was covered with dust, 
as were the antique chandeliers 
which once had provided light for 
the girls who came to sing and 
pray. 
In a room on second, Youth's 
Instructors were strewn across the 
floor and a sign, hanging lopsided 
on the wall of a room on third, 
read "Please be seated while the 
room is in motion." It was not en-
tirely a joke, for overhead the 
wrecking crew was working Its way 
down. 
Finally, in a corner room on 
fourth I found what I was look-
ing for, and it couldn't have been 
more perfectly cut to suit my pur-
pose. 
The periods of time which we 
call years come and go. Buildings 
are built and used and destroyed. 
The year 1958 has passed into 
eternity and with its passing, 
North Hall saw its last occupants 
and has now become only a mem-
ory. The girls who last resided 
within its walls and are now in the 
Pearl Rees mansion have good 
reason to be singing "May old ac-
quaintance be forgot." Yet in a 
sense, North Hall will stand for-
ever as part of the lives of thou-
sands of girls who found within 
its walls the joys, sorrows, and 
happiness that college has to offer. 
On my study table, beneath the 
glass that North Hall rendered to 
me, is a simple sentence which re-
minds me that life is a rapidly 
passing thing. It keeps before me 
my opportunities and makes my 
discouragements easier to take. It 
reads "This, too, shall pass away." 
College Board 
To Take Action 
On Student Aid 
Favorable action has been taken 
to include Union College in the 
National Defense Student Loan 
Program subject to action by the 
college board at its next general 
meeting in February. Most of our 
denominational colleges, among 
more than 800 colleges and uni-
versities in the country, are ap-
plying for this government loan 
program. 
These loans, to be based on the 
need of the student, and his scho-
lastic capabilities, are to be deter-
mined by the Student Loan com-
mittee in the same manner as 
other student loans now available 
if the program is put into effect at 
Union. The advantage of this pro-
gram over the several programs 
now in effect is believed to be the 
3% Interest to begin not earlier 
than a year after study is termi-
nated. 
The $6 million interim appropri-
ation authorized by Congress for 
this purpose is to be apportioned 
to each state and college on the 
basis of its full-time college enroll-
ment. According to this method of 
appropriation, Union College will 
receive not more than $2700 this 
year to be loaned to students in 
relatively small amounts. 
Dean Caviness advises that since 
this program is still in a tentative 
state, no applications for these 
loans be made until the board has 
met and passed final action in 
February.

L. G. Scales 
Back in 1871 James A. Garfield, 
one-time professor of classical 
languages and former President of 
the United States, addressed the 
alumni of Williams College. "Give 
me a log hut," he said, " with only 
a simple bench, Mark Hopkins on 
one end and I on the other, and 
you may have all the buildings, 
apparatus, and libraries without 
him." In other words, he felt that 
the relationship between student 
and teacher is more important in 
education than physical facilities. 
Centuries ago Socrates sent a 
pupil back to his parents with a 
note of explanation, "i cannot 
teach your boy; he does not love 
me." Jesus Christ, the Master 
Teacher, expressed the thought in 
its positive lighW'He that willeth 
to do His will shall know of the 
doctrine." One of the most impos-
sible tasks that I can imagine is a 
young person on the campus of a 
Christian college who is not in 
sympathy with the objectives of 
the institution, attempting to 
master certain subject material of 
an academic nature, but being out 
of step with the school purpose as 
a whole. Even a degree of outward 
conformity does not conceal the 
inward resistance to character de-
velopment. Education is still the 
harmonious development of the 
physical, mental, and spiritual 
powers." 
The product of American edu-
cation has degenerated considera-
bly since Harvard was founded in 
1650 with the motto "To the Glory 
of Christ." Even though Yale 
states in its charter that it was 
established "for the upholding and 
propagating of the Protestant re-
ligion," yet in 1948 one of the 
graduates of its School of Divinity 
denounced it as a "cesspool of 
atheism." It is noteworthy at this 
point to remind ourselves that 
some of the student handbooks of 
the Seventh-day Adventist colleges 
are as obsolete as last year's alma-
nac. 
Some years ago a St. Louis 
teacher wrote a book entitled 
THIS FARCE CALLED EDUCA-
TION in which he says that the 
American teacher is the most op-
inionated and undemocratic person 
in our society. This vigorous attack 
against the teaching profession as 
a whole cannot, of course, be ac-
cepted. The many dedicated and 
conscientious servants of human-
ity shbuld not be so harshly judged 
although it may be that some 
teachers need to remind them-
selves that they do not rule by 
"divine right" and they are not 
appointed to be "lords over God's 
heritage." Maybe the time haa 
come when the Board of Trustees, 
the faculty and the students on 
the campus should sit down and 
prayerfully consider the need, the 
trends, and the objectives of 
Christian education. The difficulty 
may lie in communication. When 
all come to an accurate realization 
of the real purpose of such an edu-
cation and the part each is to play, 
maybe the "middle wall or parti-
tion" can be broken down and the 
Garfield-Hopkins relationship can 
be re-established. 
Ki appa Z)heta 
By Betty Bell 
1959! I just can't seem to get used to the fact that 1959 Is here al-
ready. Christmas vacation certainly did seem short, didn't it? Every-
thing you hear in the dorm is about what a wonderful time this or 
that girl had at home or while visiting friends. But now it is a new 
year and here we are back at school 
You know, a new year always means New Year's resolutions. I was 
curious about what New Year's resolutions had been made by some of 
the girls here in the dorm, so I began to ask around. Here are just 
a few that I thought might interest you. 
Barbara Montgomery resolves to learn how to run a hulahoop. I'm 
sure we will all be interested in watching Barbara's progress. 
Carolyn Essig; made a very practical resolution — not to flunk 
Medieval Civilization. 
I noticed, when I asked Phyllis Foster about her resolutions, that 
she seemed a little reluctant to divulge them. Finally she put one of 
them into poetry for me: 
When my mother-in-law begins to yell and shout, 
Through the window I would like to throw her out, 
I resolve not to do it. Here is why: 
I'm afraid of hitting someone passing by. 
I guess I should add that I don't think Phyllis was In a very serious 
mood when I talked to her. Maybe that's what being engaged does 
for a person. 
I don't know if I approve of Penny Shell's resolution or not. She 
resolved not to make any more New Year's resolutions. 
Marida Dietz said, "I plan to Improve myself." This Is something 
we all would do well to resolve. 
Judy Lewis hadn't made any New Year's resolutions so I decided 
it was my responsibility to make one for her. So, for Judy Lewis I 
resolve that she will gain all the weight that is now being lost by the 
heavy Christmas eaters. 
I would like to say before I finish that everyone of us here in Rees 
Hall has enjoyed and appreciated the Student Week of Prayer. This 
was a wonderful way to begin the new year. I especially want to say 
"thank you" to Pollie Munson who represented us so well. You really 
did a fine job, Pollie. 
Well, it's time for semester exams so probably the girls of Rees 
Hall will not be doing much but studying for the next week or so. Which 
reminds me, that's what I need to be doing now. Good-by 'til next 
semester.

Megacycle Club 
The Mega Cycle club this year 
is presenting a series of lectures 
pertaining to current 
interest 
topics in the physical science fields 
which were suggested by the mem-
bers of the club. Thus far three 
such lectures have been presented. 
Charles Randall presented the 
first topic on "Electrical Oddities". 
In a maze of demonstration equip-
ment, the unusual qualities of 
electricity were demonstrated and 
explained. 
In the following club meeting 
Richard Wilson gave an explana-
tion of the procedures of amateur 
radio; and Mr. Evan Boiler, who is 
connected with the Lancaster 
County civil defense organization, 
demonstrated ham radio in action 
and explained Its importance in 
regard to civil defense and local 
disasters. 
During the previous meeting 
Clifford Price explained the his-
tory and theory of stereo-disc re-
cording and reproduction. The 
fact was stated that in the near 
future it is most likely that all rec-
ords will be of the stereo type. 
Two lectures are planned for the 
remainder of first semester. On 
January 10, 1959, Chris Christen-
sen presented a topic on "Radio 
Astronomy." The topic of the fol-
lowing meeting on January 24, 
1959 will be "The Theory of Elec-
tronic Computers" which will be 
presented by Dick Hall. 
The club meetings are held in

By Gary Grimes 
During the Christmas vacation, the men of South Hall could be 
found in almost any section of the United States enjoying themselves. 
Many of them attended the different New Year's day football games. 
Out west in Pasadena quite a congregation of Unionites showed 
up at the Rose Bowl game. The Rose Bowl is the grand-daddy of all 
the bowl games, and it is usually a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see 
the battle for the Roses. Dean Culver and family viewed the game. 
Also attending were Ed Lamb and Len Colson. Pressman Colson 
watched it from the pressbox. Just for the record, the Midwest once 
again was victorious over the west coast. Iowa defeated California 
38-12. Down in the deep South, the nation's number one team L.S.U. 
downed a very stubborn Clemson team 7-0. In the stands was a loyal 
Tiger supporter, Billy Wilson. 
Down in Miami, Bruce Powers spent a few days in the warm Florida 
sunshine. 
Going out to California for reasons other than football were Larry 
Henderson and Don Duncan. Don reported viewing the beautiful Rose 
Parade just before heading back east. 
Close to Lincoln, over at Kansas City, Bob Kelley and Alan Selt-
man watched the famous Big Eight basketball tournament. Kansas 
State led by Bob Boozer won the tournament beating Colorado in 
the finals. 
It is reported Gerald McMillen spent quite a bit of time in Missouri. 
I haven't heard what football game he was watching. Marvin Moore 
spent some time with his grandparents in Wyoming. However, he 
brought home a present—the chicken pox. 
From all reports everybody enjoyed vacation time and is ready 
for another one.

To those of you not acquainted 
with the library, let me introduce 
you to Miss Smith; for the rest of 
us have already met her and know 
her ready smile, her quiet efficien-
cy, and her role as the ideal li-
brarian. 
The job of head librarian takes 
more than aptitude. Miss Smith's 
skill was perfected at the University 
of Illinois where she received her 
Master's degree in Library Science. 
Previous to that, she graduated 
from Walla Walla College, also tak-
ing library work at Washington 
University in Seattle. 
Born in Colorado of Christian 
parents, she not only was taught 
the love of the message from her 
earliest years, but also benefited 
from her parents a strong belief in 
Christian education. 
During her college years at Walla 
Walla, she worked in the campus 
library. Starting from the bottom, 
which included sweeping floors, she 
quickly proved her ability as she 
progressed from reading papers to 
being head librarian during the 
summer months. But these duties 
didn't leave her too busy to par-
ticipate in other activities, and she 
soon found herself copy editor of 
the school paper. 
"It was during college I learned 
to talk and to pray with other 
people," Miss Smith recalls. Any 
timidity she felt with others was 
overcome in accepting the respons-
ibilities of Prayer Band leader and 
Sabbath School secretary.

In 1941 she came to Union. Her 
first impression was of the campus 
beauty, and as she became ac-
quainted, the friendliness of the. 
students. 
Although she is not a graduate" 
of Union, she has come to love the 
clock tower of old Union with as 
much of a possessive air as the a-
lumni. 
She keeps the library in tip-top 
working order, a place for every-
thing and everything in its place; 
twenty girls do various assigned 
tasks under Miss Smith's direction. 
The most disliked words in Miss 
Smith's vocabulary are "Be Quiet." 
A word to the wise, however, is suf-
ficient. She does her best to make 
the library a "friendly place con-
ducive for study." 
Her hobbies are divergent enough 
to make a well-rounded personality. 
Enjoying nature thru overnight 
camping is high on her list. A quiet-
er satisfaction comes from her 
scrapbooks where she.has paired 
pictures with poetry. 
At present she is general super-
intendent of the College View Sab-
bath School and serves on the Nom-
inations and Elections committee 
of the college and also a like com-
mittee for the College View church. 
In the past she has been college 
Sabbath School sponsor, MV Spon-
sor, and has worked with the Master 
Guides. 
On second thought, perhaps you 
have met Miss Smith. It is very 
obvious this capable lady can be en-
countered in other places than the 
library. 
We appreciate so much the strong 
Christian influence and the wel-
come words of encouragement Miss 
Smith so ably extends.

Secretarial Science Scenes

By Jane Nowack 
In 1955 at the last convention of 
the denomination's college secre-
tarial teachers held at Atlantic 
Union College, seven out of the 
eleven heads of secretarial science 
departments were graduates of 
Union. College. This distinction was 
achieved through the efforts of a 
progressive secretarial department. 
Teaching the secretarial sci-
ences this year are Mrs. L. W. 
Minium, Miss Margaret Pederson, 
and Miss Marilyn Brown. Second 
semester Mrs. R. A. Johnson will 
be teaching in the department. 
A Bachelor of Science degree is 
received at the completion of a 
four-year course. For those desir-
jjag a more brief program, a two-
y&ir plan is offered. 
An outstanding feature of this 
department is the training of med-
ical secretaries. A special short-
hand course emphasizes the vo-
cabulary and spelling of medical 
terms. Voice transcriptions using 
simulated medical cases furnish 
realistic job situations. One course 
teaches the office responsibilities 
of this particular career. 
A new electric mimeograph ma-
chine and six recently acquired 
-electric typewriters are part of the 
equipment in use in the business 
machines classes. 
Second semester a new course, 
under its old name, Care of Rec-
ords, will make its debut. Because 
of the millions of records which

annually flow through the busi-

ing given to their management by 
office executives. So that Union 
College secretarial students may be 
qualified more effectively in this 
comparably new field of records 
management, the course offered 
will be the one outlined and rec-
ommended by the Detroit Chapter 
of the American Records Manage-
ment Association in conjunction 
with the School of Business Ad-
ministration, University of Michi-
gan. 
Last fall a group of secretarial 
students attended an exhibit in 
Omaha, of the latest business ma-
chines. This display was sponsored 
by the Office Management Associ-
ation of Omaha. 
Among many businessmen and 
professional people in Lincoln, the 
Union College Secretarial Science 
Department Is recognized as hav-
ing the best setup and best trained 
students in this city. Mr. W. C. 
Harding, the former Gregg Pub-
lication representative in the Mid-
west, said that Union has the best 
Secretarial Science department in 
his district. 
Practically all of the Union Col-
lege secretarial graduates step Into 
denominational work. Every year 
more requests are received than 
can be filled. Also for non-denomi-
national opportunities the demand 
for secretarial graduates seems 
unlimited.

ministerial curriculum by the Com-
mittee on Ministerial Recommen-
dations on December 17: Noel 
Fraser, Gene Gerdts, Gary Grimes, 
Richard Jewett, Gordon Kainer, 
Emil Kahler, Jake Knight, Robert 
Potter, David Sharpe, Gustav Tob-
ler, and Loron Wade. Other ap-
plicants will be considered in Jan-
uary and February, 1959. The new 
regulations voted by the faculty 
two months ago make it necessary 
that lower division students desir-
ing to enter the Union College up-
per division ministerial curriculum 
be considered by the Committee 
on Ministerial Recommendations 
and evaluated as to promise of fu-
ture usefulness and efficiency in 
the Adventist ministry. Character 
stability, devotion to missionary 
endeavor, personality traits, lead-
ership ability, skill in organization, 
grade point average and intellect-
ual capacity are among the fac-
tors considered by the fourteen 
faculty members on the committee 
under the chairmanship of Profes-
sor Leif Kr. Tobiassen, Religion

LAKERS RALLY TO WIN 
The Lakers, rallying from an 
eight-point deficit at half-time, 
defeated the Buffaloes by a score 
of 50-46 in the season's opening in-
tramural basketball game. The 
Lakers, led by the 22-point perfor-
mance of Gary Grimes, shot at a 
53.7% clip in the second half and 
39% for the game. The Buffaloes 
out-rebounded the Lakers 29-28, 
but only hit on 30% of their shots. 
The winning margin was gained at 
the free throw line with the Lakers 
hitting 10 out of 13 free throws 
while the Buffaloes made 2 out of 
4 attempts. Lakers

Senior Nurses Receive 
Public Health Practice 
Senior nursing students having 
field practice in public health nurs-
ing in Englewood, Colorado, get 
around ... on foot, in a car, or 
on a bicycle. Their patients are In 
their own homes and these homes 
are widely scattered so the nurse 
must travel to reach them. 
Student nurses, Sharon Dahsc and Audrey 
Fordham, prepare to cycle to nearby patient's 
homes. 
Half of the nursing majors of 
the class of 1959 have had their 
public health experience in Bould-
er, Colorado; the other half are 
the first to. have this in Engle-
wood, which is a Denver suburb 
very near the-Colorado Campus. 
The practice field has had some 
interesting new experiences to of-
fer, including care of sick people 
in their homes. This means a 
chance to practice nursing without 
hospital facilities. Sometimes this 
means making use of simple 
equipment, boiling and sterilizing 
supplies in a tin coffee can, wash-
ing hands without running water, 
and making do without what are 
often considered necessities.
