Lit. Evangelists Hold Institute  
Golden Chords Choose  
Church Composition  
Forty-seven singers of the Gold- 
en Chords Chorale are taking their  
annual tour this weekend. These  
students, chosen from the total  
choir of sixty members, are under  
the direction of Dr. J. Wesley  
Rhodes.  
The tour, beginning March 17  
and extending to March 20, is 
taking the choir to many places 
including: Hemingford, Nebraska, 
and Denver, Colorado, where the 
choir will sing at the Denver Cen-
tral church, the Denver South 
church, and the Boulder Sanitari- 
um church. They also will visit two  
academies: Campion academy and 
Platte Valley academy.  
Selections to be presented are  
taken from the great classical com-
posers of church music, Russian 
church music, contemporary com-
posers, spirituals and Gospel songs.  
A portion of the Oratorio, The  
Holy City, by Gaul was sung by 
the choir as an Invocation.  

service was in charge of Mr.  
Ross Wallard, assistant manager of  
the book department of the Pacific 
Press and Mr. Lind Paddock, Jr.,  
manager of the book department of 
the Southern Publishing Associa-
tion.  
The climax was a banquet fea- 
turing a film concerning the dev-
elopment of personality. President  
Bieber, Dr. Caviness, two publishing  
house representatives, and the pub-
lishing leaders of the three unions 
participated in the program.  

Elder Spiva, publishing secretary of the Texico Conference,  demonstrates  selling tech- 
niques with the assistance of Anna-Jo Allgood.  
The publishing men from the  
Northern, Central and Southwest-
ern Unions conducted "Literature  
Evangelist Weekend" on Union's  
campus, March 4-7.  
"Attendance is unusually good;  
prospects for the summer are en-
couraging" was the observation of 
Elder Kent of the Central Union,  
chairman of the meetings.  
The opening meeting was Friday,  
Mar.4, at the regular convocation  
time. The publishing secretaries  
and their assistants of the unions  
were introduced from the platform. 
Following a short talk by two stu- 
dents from each conference, Elder 
Kent presented a challange as he  
set forth the seriousness of our  
times.  
Elder Crofton, publishing sec- 
retary of the Northern Union pre- 
sented a devotional at the Friday  
night vesper hour. Elder Nightin- 
gale, president of the Northern  
Union spoke at the church service 
Sabbath morning.  
To attend the main meetings,—  
held on Monday—the students were  
excused from their classes and 
work. In the morning session prin- 
ciples of Christian selling: the pre- 
approach, the precanvass, arousing  
interest, and creating desire were 
given by Elders Crofton of the Nor- 
thern Union and Welch of the 
Southwestern Union. The after- 
noon session consisted of questions,  
their answers, and practical dem-
onstrations. The  regular chapel  

Lecturer Johnson Presents  
Facts on Pitcairn Island  
Mr. Irving Johnson, world re- 
nowned traveler, lecturer, and 
photographer, will present the Pit- 
cairn Story on the evening of  
March 19, at 8:15 in the Union Col- 
lege auditorium. Stories of Mr.  
Johnson's travels have appeared in  
leading national magazines, and 
he has appeared at UC in the past 
to very enthusiastic  audiences.  
Mr. Johnson's presentation this  
appearance will be of special in- 
terest to members of the Seventh- 
day Adventist church. The history 
of the settlement of the Pitcairn 
Island is a vital episode in the 
development of the Adventist 
church.  
This program will be presented  
as a part of the regular artist and 
adventure series. Admission is cov- 
ered by activities cards for stu-
dents, and regular rates for ad-
mission to Saturday night pro-
grams in the auditorium will apply  
to others wishing to attend.  
Snow Parly Plans Grow  
Fifty Unionites are expected to  
spend their spring vacation in  
Colorado snows, April 6-12. This  
A.S.B. sponsored snow party will be  
held at Glacier View Camp, the 
Seventh-day Adventist youth camp  
of Colorado.  
The activities: skiing, ice skating,  
tobogganing, saucer sliding and 
snow shoeing will be under the  
direction of Union College students.  
Food arrangements have been 
made with Porter Sanitarium.  
The snow party idea grew from  
a suggestion made by D. L. W.  
Welch In convocation. The idea  
grew to its planned stage in the  
hands of Dr. Welch and the four 
A.S.B. executive officers: Norman  
Graham, president; Jerry Aso, vice- 
president; Sharon Chatfield, sec- 
retary-treasurer; and Judy Gray, 
assistant secretary-treasurer.  

Academy Musicians!!  Featured at Festival  
Board Plans lor Future al Annual Conclave  
The Union College Board of  
Trustees' annual meeting was held 
Wednesday, February 24. Among 
other things, a budget of over  
$500,000 was approved. These funds  
will be used during a year that  
should bring an increase of five  
per cent to enrollment figures at 
UC. The project enrollment in- 
creases may be  traced to a higher  
number of graduates from area  
academies and from Southwestern  
Junior College.  
Elder P. C. Jarnes, who is pre- 
sently acting chairman of the de- 
partment of religion, has been  
made permanent chairman—effec- 
tive immediately. Dr. Rene Evard 
will assume duties as acting head  
of the chemistry department upon 
the departure of Dr. D. K. Brown, 
who has been called to the chemis-
try department of Emmanuel Mis-
sionary College. Mr. Arthur Hauck,  
of the speech department, has been  
granted continuous tenure.  
Additions to the staff voted by  
the board include Miss Opal Miller,  
who will teach organ and piano.  
Miss Miller has been on the UC  
faculty previously and is at present 
on the staff of Newbury Park 
Academy. Mr. A. E. Perry will  be  
a new instructor ir. the biology de- 
partment. On the Denver campus,  

Miss Maxine Blome, and Miss Doris 
C. Bethea have been added to the 
staff. Miss Bethea will begin her  
duties in the fall of 1961. These ad-
tions will make it possible for Miss  
Elsie Warden to pursue advanced  
study at the University of Colorado.  
Mr. R. M. Reynolds, head of the  
department of physical education,  
has been granted a 12 month leave  
of absence to work on his graduate 
studies. Mr.  C. L. Gemmell of the  
education and psychology depart- 
ment has been granted a one  
semester leave for the same pur-
pose.  
Promotions in academic rank  
from assistant to  associate profes- 
sorships were granted to Mr. C. L.  
Gemmell, Mr. Earl Leonhardt, Mrs.  
Autumn Miller, and Mr. Walter  
Page.  
The board noted that the addi- 
tion to the men's dormitory is pro- 
ceeding on schedule and that it 
will be ready for occupancy this 
summer. Sales in college industries 
show an increase over last year's  
figures, the board was told by Mr.  
V. S. Dunn, business manager. A  
small increase in tuition and  
dormitory fees was voted in keep- 
ing with similar increases by other 
Seventh-day Adventist colleges.  
Verna Vance .  . "On the ball"  but not the donkey.  
Two donkey basketball games  
were the main features of the ASB  
Sports Social Mar. 5.  
The first game was played be- 
tween the college men and the men 
of the faculty. This game was won 
by the students 8-2.  
Those playing on the student  
team were Byron Bradley, Shorty 
Reeder, John Ridpath, Dan Duff,  
Rex Turner, Monte Morris, John  
Uhrig. Members of the faculty who 
participated were Dr. G. L. Cavi-
ness, Dr. L. W. Welch, Mr. H. L.  
Caviness, Mr. Lee Wilson, Mr.  
Robert Reynolds,  Mr. Neville  
George, Mr. Robert Coy.  
The second game was played be- 
tween two girls' teams. These teams  
ended their game 4-4. The girls' 
teams were made up of Evelyn Bird,  
Darwena Swann, Verna Vance,  

Maureen Kinyon, Pat Gustin, Mary 
Hoffman, Enid Amende, Coral  
Johnson.  
Special rules for "donkey basket- 
ball" are that the players must stay 
with their donkeys at all times and 
must be on their donkeys when 
they pass the ball or shoot for a 
basket.  
Dick Pollard and Dennis Olson  
refereed the game.  
Other features of the program in- 
cluded a donkey race for girls,  
which was won by Mary Hoffman; 
and a mechanical donkey race, 
which was won by Jerry Schnell.  
This social was sponsored by the  
recreation committee of the Asso-
ciated Student Body. Chairman of 
the committee is Evelyn Bird; spon-
sor is Mrs. N. V. George.  

Clinic to be annual feature  
This weekend Union College is  
sponsoring the first annual Music 
Clinic Festival. Its primary purpose 
is to challenge and inspire the  
talented students in each school 
served by Union College by giving 
them special recognition and the  
opportunity to participate in a  
select organization. Each year the  
Clinic Festival will alternate be-
tween choir and band.  
The following schools will be re- 
presented: Campion Academy, En-
terprise Academy, S.D.A. Intermedi- 
ate School, Sandia View Academy,  
Platte Valley Academy, Sunnydale 
Academy, Ozark Academy, South-
western Junior College, Kansas City 
Junior Academy, New Haven School, 
Denver Junior Academy, and Union  
College Academy.  
Participants chosen on merit  
Students participating in this  
events were nominated by their re- 
spective band directors and then 
chosen by the clinic director. The 
selection of students was based  
upon the musicianship demonstrat- 
ed in his own school organization,  
the need for a balance of parts in 
the Clinic Festival Band, and satis-
factory school citizenship.  
The Clinic Festival Staff consists  
of: Dr. J. Wesley Rhodes, chairman 
of the Department of Music, Union 
College; H. Lloyd Leno, Clinic Festi-
val Director, and Elder W.  A. Howe,  
Concert Narrator. The band di-
rectors from the various schools will 
contribute to the festival by in-
structing the sections of the band,  
by giving clinic lectures, and by 
playing in the band.  
In addition to the busy schedule  
of rehearsals and the concert, the 
Clinic Festival provides clinic lec-
ture demonstrations and discus-
sions to help and inspire both stu- 
dents and teachers of music toward  
a higher standard of excellence in  
performance.  
Golden Cords  
Dummy In  
March 1 the editors turned in the  
final copy of the Golden Cords to 
the Lincoln Yearbook Company, 
which is printing the 1960 yearbook.  
Connie Wells, editor, declared with  
the reaching of this final deadline, 
the assurance of an annual given 
to the students at least two weeks  
before graduation.  
New features in the 1960 annual  
include officers of the Colorado 
Campus Student Association, Clock 
Tower and Golden Cords officers 
and a section on dorm life.  
Cover plans have been completed,  
and a sample cover has been re- 
ceived and approved by the Golden 
Cords staff.  
UC Students Evangelize  
At Lincoln City Church  
The first series of evangelistic  
meetings to be held this school 
year started last Sunday night as 
five ministerial seniors began their 
effort at the Lincoln City church.  
The five students, David Sharpe,  
Myron Voegele, David Lea, Albert 
Beierle, and Bob Miller, are leading 
out in the first student-organized 
and student-run effort to be held 
in Lincoln.  
An intensive visitation program  
is also being carried out in connec-
tion with the meetings which will 
be held every Sunday night at 7:30  
for the next nine weeks.  
David Sharpe opened the series  
with his sermon entitled "Why You 
Should Be a Christian."  
W. H. Elder, pastor of the church,  
is acting as counselor to the stu-
dent-evangelists.

Js Scholarship Important?  
The question  of the importance  of scholarship  might  seem rather  out of place  in  a college  paper. The college  exits  for its  promotion.  Its staff is  largely  made up of people  who profess scholarship.  It is  hoped that its  graduates will  continue  lives  of learning  after they leave  school.  
It is  sometimes  alleged  by the students that too much emphasis  is placed  on scholarship  in  modern Adventist  colleges.  Other  persons,  generally  faculty  members, frequently  bemoan the relative  lack  of  scholarship  found in  such places.  There are some people  who claim  that the task of the church is  wholly  unrelated  to scholarship  and that  the function  of the college  should  be to impart  skill  so that the pur- pose of the church might  be quickly  fulfilled.  
Seventh-day Adventists  are not caught in  a stultifying,  Lillipu- tian  web of traditional  denominational  concerns as yet. We are people  with  a single  aim:  To preach the gospel  of Jesus Christ  in  its  fullness  to the world  as quickly  as possible.  It is  on the question  of haste  that doubts begin  to come in  concerning  the validity  of scholarship.  Do Adventists  dare to take the time  to develop  the requisite  skills  in the sciences,  the humanities,  and the arts which  scholarly  accom- plishment  demands? Is a Seventh-day Adventist  young person who  spends long  years mastering  some phase of history,  for instance,  in- cluding  the necessary languages,  doing  something  which  can ever con- ceivably  contribute  to Adventism's  aim?  
Our answer is  unhesitatingly  "Yes."  It would  be foolish  to con- fuse a sloppy  work with  a quick  work. We do not have time  to engage  in speculation  and bootless  investigations  which  only  occupy time  and have no relationship  to the crisis  we are in.  The nature of the  crisis  we are in,  however, demands that we meet it  with  talents  em- powered by God  and disciplined  by study so that the results  achieved  may be genuine  and worthy of God's  character rather than some hasty  and transitory  figment  of someone's  fevered imagination.  
God needs people  today who will  get a fine  Christian  education  and use it  for His  service.  There are altogether  too many people  in  the  world who have permitted  a humanly  oriented  education  to "get"  them.  How about you? Could  God  be calling  you to a ministry  of scholarship?  
Elder Sydney Allen  
We Caud food  Sports  
Last Saturday night  Union  College  students witnessed  a rare  sight.  Not only  it  is  quite  an oddity  to see donkeys on a college  basket- ball court, but how many college  students have seen their  college  dean  
ride a donkey down the center of the college  auditorium?  
It's been a long  time  since  the UC student body has had such an  excellent  chance for wholesome  laughter—or  such a large  attendance  at a Saturday night  program. It wasn't  our opinion  that students  laughed  because they liked  to see their  professors made uncomfortable  by their  numerous spills  over the donkeys'  heads. But, rather, we  think  the main  joy in  the occasion  came because for a few hours we  could laugh  with  our faculty  and could  realize  that they too enjoy a  bit of humor once in  a while.  
Did it  lessen  our respect for our dignified  staff? Hardly.  If any- thing,  it  bolstered  our respect for those who were willing  for one  Saturday evening  to forego the pleasures  of the spectator's  chair  to  participate  in  the rigors  of trying  to make a few baskets via  donkey  back.  
The faculty's  participation  made us once more thankful  that we  have a staff who are interested  enough in  a student-sponsored  event  to take an active  part, and act as if  they were having  fun doing  it!  
Last Saturday night's  program, we think,  all  goes to prove once  more that the ancient  admonition,  "A  merry heart doeth good like  a  medicine,"  does not exclude  college  students—or a college  faculty.

New Book Shelf  
By Floda  Smith  
In "It's a Great Life" you'll see  
and feel the happiness in forty-two  
years of service in the literature 
ministry. The Waldos permitted no  
barriers to deter them. Their hunt- 
ing range extended from mansions  
to shacks, from the fuselage of an 
airplane flying at 9,000 feet to the  
bowels of a submarine at anchor,  
and from the top of a lighthouse  
to the middle of a traffic jam on 
a busy corner. Here is the story of  
wonderful sales adventure for God.  
For a different slant on television,  
Charles Siepmann gives an authori- 
tative report to the public on  the  
educational possibilities of televi-
sion in schools and colleges, in his 
"TV and Our School Crisis." Can 
classroom students really learn 
from television? Will it put teach-
ers out of work? Will it supplant  
the traditional ideal of the face-to- 
face pupil-teacher relationship of 
the student alone with his book? 
Won't it cost too much? Such con-
troversial questions are answered.  
Do you love the beautiful and the  
simple things of life? Do you want 
to know the answers to the prob-
lems which life holds day by day, 
and in the future? Charlotte Ed-
wards in "Heaven in the Home" 
seems to understand you. She knows  
that "you and I, no matter the  
number of years set upon us, have 
one need, we all share." Would you 
like to join her in discovering that  
need, and "when we find it, let's use  
the seeing eye, the feeling  heart,  
the changed view, the revision of  
attitude." It's doing it "together"  
that counts.  
The author, Anne Braden, pre- 
sents a very clear and precise pic- 
ture of conditions and reactions in 
a Kentucky community in regard to  
race segregation. Her mild and de- 
tached tone in writing claims at-
tention. Her questions, as to what  
moves crusaders to startling action, 
make her book, "The Wall Be-
tween," important at this time.  
If you have read the touching  
human interest story of a boy's 
love for his dog, in "Old Yeller,"  
you'll enjoy "Recollection Creek"  
by the same author, Fred Gipson, 
Here is a blend of fun, humor, and  
tenderness in this heart-warming 
book, recalling adventures in the  
life of  Hopper Creech, many years  
ago, when the days were especially 
bright and the world  seemed extra  
new.  

Once Over Lightly . ..  
... By Ole  
If you're not staying physically active, you may be driving nails in  
your own coffin.  
That's the consensus of several physicians studying whether a group  
more physically active than most will be spared from coronary disease.  
Dr. Serge Bryner, Palo Alto, Calif., who heads a group made up of  
skiing doctors of the Northwestern Medical Assn., was quoted in the  
Minneapolis Tribune as saying:  
Parts and Departs  
By Don Bunch  
I propose a tribute to the unsung  
heroes of our campus. This well-or- 
ganized task force has been deserv-
ing of recognition for several weeks,  
and it is high time they receive  
their wreath of honor for a job 
well done. With courage and per- 
severance these men have braved  
the most adverse of conditions to  
accomplish their assignment. They  
have labored far into darkness of  
night and are at their posts as the 
rising sun throws her warmth upon 
the scene. The wind drives the chill 
of sub-zero weather through their 
coats; the snow freezes to their 
gloves; their lot is not an enjoyable 
one.  
But yet—it is, for they can see  
the fruits of  their labor once all has  
cleared; they can bask in the satis- 
faction of a job well done. They 
know that if it weren't for their 
work, the campus would virtually  
be at a standstill.  
These men ask for no credit; they  
point not to themselves; they wait  
for no thanks. It is we who have 
not done our part; yes, surely we  
have taken them for granted. And  
when they have found their job  
insurmountable for a short time,  
we have complained because they 
have not done the impossible.  
Snow to us can mean skis, sleds,  
toboggans,  snowballs, a wet face,  
or cold feet. To them snow means  
warm clothes, a tractor with its  
snow blade, and the ever back- 
breaking shovel. It is they who  
keep our walks free of snow; it is  
they who work that we may walk.  
With snow three feet deep in  
places they have had no easy task  
to perform; theirs is not a simple  
job. So hail, campus crew, let the 
cup of tribute be raised high in 
your behalf. Take your place upon 
your rightful pedestal for this is 
your hour of honor.  
And now that you have been re- 
cognized, dear friends, — please,  
please — don't bring us any more 
snow!  
It is with thanks that we do re- 
member — now that winter has  
shown its fury—Spring can not be  
far behind.  
Zke College View  
Question: How do you feel about  
"closed" Saturday nights? 
Judie Fenner: I think if we would  
get a better-known lyceum series, 
well publicized, we wouldn't have to  
worry about "closed" Saturday 
nights because everyone would like  
to come.  
Jerald McMillen: If the programs 
were more interesting to the ma-
jority of students,  required attend- 
ance would  be unnecessary, for the  
students would attend whether it 
was compulsory or not. 
Anna-Jo Allgood: It is too bad that 
half of Union College have to find  
entertainment at the university on  
Saturday nights, but I don't think  
"closed" Saturday nights are the 
answer to the situation. I think the 
quality of the programs of our col-
lege need to be improved. 
Judy Gray: Don presented very well 
the feeling of the student body con-
cerning "closed" Saturday nights. I 
think the programs should be such  
as to appeal to students on the col-
lege level. If they were interesting,  
students would attend whether the  
night is "closed" or not.  
Ray Jennings: Somewhat contrary 
perhaps to the opinion expressed in  
the recent article concerning  
"closed Saturday nights," I some-
times feel that "closed Saturday  
nights" arise from a fear by those 
responsible persons that the pro- 
grams presented will otherwise be 
very poorly attended. This is evi- 
dently the result of lack of interest 
by a major portion of the college 
student group in what is offered. 
Therefore, I suggest that more ef- 

fort be put into presenting pro-
grams atttractive to the college 
group, thus eliminating any need  
for such a thing as "closed Satur- 
day nights." 
Crystal Eisenman: I am definitely 
not in favor of it because in the  
first place, the only reason they  
have "closed" Saturday nights is  
that they need an audience. I do  
think more students should attend  
our programs, but they should not  
be forced.  
John Boyd: I think "closed" Satur- 
day nights are a good thing. 
I do think they should have more 
cultural programs for the students  
to attend. 
Joyce Anderson: I think that every  
Saturday evening should be an 
open night for planned entertain- 
ment. The programs should not be  
compulsory but should be attended 
only by the  choice of the students  
themselves.  
George Fischer: Fifty years ago,  
social privileges were virtually non- 
existent here. In my opinion, 
"closed Saturday nights" are a car-
ry-over from that time. They are 
an unnecessary restriction upon 
college age men and women. How-
ever, changes come slowly, and the 
best way to speed them is to prove 
ourselves worthy of more freedom. 
"Griping" doesn't accomplish any-
thing.  
Eldo Harr:  I don't think they  
should compel us to go for we are 
college students. If the entertain-
ment would' be enjoyable, a re-
markable change would occur in at- 
tendance.  

"Constant and vigorous exercise  
such as skiing may be one of the 
factors that would delay the onset  
of coronary thrombosis. Proof of  
this is lacking, but there is medical 
evidence that suggests that this is 
true."  
Dr. Bryner cited one study made  
at Harvard in 1955 in which sta- 
tistics were kept on 424  former  
football players. Of these, one 
group of 17 who, after graduation,  
pursued sports that gave them  
vigorous exercise showed no in-
cidence of coronary heart disease. 
In the entire the incidence was 38  
per cent as compared to 44 per  
cent for a comparable group of res- 
idents of Massachusetts.  
Another member of the group,  Dr. Merritt  Stiles,  Spokane,  Wash., said  an exercise  program  to be a real  health  factor should  include  equally  invigorating  sports throughout the year. This  would help  guard against  the  daily stresses that might  lead  to  heart disease,  he said.  
These and many other studies  
being made into the study  of heart  
disease might be an incentive for  
some Unionites (you, perhaps?) to  
become more active in sports in-
stead of merely confining physical 
prowess to daily trips between the  
dorm and the Chat.  
Get out to the gym the first  
chance you get and start working  
off sofne of that excess baggage 
you've been carrying around. You'll  
feel a whole lot better and you  
might enjoy yourself at the same  
time. See you at the ping-pong 
table!  
Question—Why  did they put the  
snow plough on the back of the 
tractor? I've  always been told it's  
easier to push than pull. Besides,  
it's a lot easier on the driver's neck  
—no pain, no strain!  
Good Group—Why single out an  
individual when you can single out  
a whole group instead? The Chinese  
populace at Union boasts some of  
the school's finest citizens. It's no  
wonder that the juvenile delinquen- 
cy rate among Chinese in New York 
City is so low that city officials  
don't even bother to list them on  
their delinquency statistical chart.

Greetings from cold and colorful  
Colorado—especially cold! It seems  
as though it has snowed without 
ceasing for almost two weeks.  
We were very happy to have the  
gymnastic team from the Lincoln 
campus with us this past Sunday  
night. They had a really nice pro- 
gram, and we especially enjoyed 
the little get together we had in  
the dorm afterwards. It's nice to  
be able to get acquainted with some  
of our schoolmates.  
We have just finished the re- 
modeling of our TV lounge, and we  
are really proud of the way it looks  
with the new furnishings and de-
cor.  
Elder Mervyn Maxwell is with us  
this week conducting our Week of  
Prayer. He is an excellent speaker 
with a message for each of us, and  
all have sincerely enjoyed becoming 
acquainted with him. Myrna Beck  
is the coordinator and deserves a  
vote of thanks for the outstanding  
job she is doing. Mary Alice Wheeler 
is organist, Loelle Anderson is  
pianist, and Marlys Ferguson is act-
ing as song leader.  
Each of us is looking forward to  
that ski trip in April and want to  
cordially invite each of you to join 
us, if possible. It sounds like real  
fun, and April is a nice time of  
year In Colorado.


March 11, 1960  CLOCK TOWER  
Sigma 3ota  Kappa  
By Monte Burns  
Arnt Krogstad  has done it again. It seems that his hitch-hiking  
episode of three weeks ago only served to whet his appetite. As you  
might guess, he's been caught going down to S.W.J.C. again. This time 
he went real legal like—with Paul  Rippe.  Keep up the good work Arnt;  
we're all behind you!  
The "big happy family" in the Castle will soon be broken up, for,  
with the addition of the new wing to the boys' dorm it won't be 
necessary to occupy the Castle. This being the situation, I, Monte  
Burns, do solemnly dedicate this column to those who have devoted  
their lives to keeping the castle in repair and properly inhabited  
during the past few years.  
Let me introduce you to a few of the leading personalities who  
dwell in the Castle.  
Head cook and food provider is Charles Rasmussen. Reason?  
Charles happens to be the proud possessor of a refrigerator and has  
thereby been duly  appointed as food manager. Besides his many  ap- 
pointed duties Charles often assumes the responsibility of cooking  
pancake breakfasts. No wonder we never see any of the Castle oc- 
cupants at breakfast.  
Castle humor is provided by Warren Coen whose wry comments  
on everyday happenings procure much mirth. His latest observation  
took place as  Arnt Krogstad was getting prepared for a formal occasion.  
As Arnt was climbing into a freshly starched dress shirt, he some- 
how managed to drop one of his cuff links upon the floor. After several 
minutes of crawling around on the floor in search of the stray cuff  
link, he finally found it lodged in the cuff of his trousers. Then -is 
he stood up, Arnt commented to Warren Coen upon the peculiarity  
of finding the lost cuff link in his trousers cuff. Warren, who had been  
reading, looked up and in a very monotonous tone said, "Well, where  
do you usually find cuff links?"  
Derrill House has found a very appropriate way of dissipating  
sudden impulses of anger. I was up in the Castle the other day when  
I heard Derrill holler out, "Oh, dog, bite it." Luckily Derrill doesn't  
have any dogs in his possession.  
Two of the Castle ocupants will not be with us too much longer.  
Both Dan Jaramio and Arnt Krogstad have pledged to sell their bache- 
lorhood for a life of "$? ** f/< *l)$!" Dan says, "Leaving the big happy  
family pains me deeply." Poor Dan—have an alka seltzer.  
The average day in the Castle ends with taps.  This could be at  
any time of the day or night—although usually night. The exact time  
is determined by Norman Gay who feels it his duty to play taps just  
before he goes to bed. This "exact time" could be any time from eight  
in the evening to two o'clock in the morning, which could explain the 
large pile of tin cans outside his door!  
Well, so much for the Castle. May her memory ever reign supreme  
within the hearts and lives of those who sought to preserve the tradi- 
tion interred 'neath  her aged timbers.

Let's peek in a window of the  
little boys' ward in the Orthopedic 
Hospital here in Lincoln on Sabbath 
afternoon. Do you have this scene 
in your mind? See the little boy in  
the second bed over there—the one  
with the dark curly hair and dim-
ples? His name is Stephen. And the 
fellow sitting in the  hospital chair  
is Harvey. He has to sit in that 
chair all day, but look at that smile 
that penetrates from cheek to 
cheek. That little rambunctious  
man running around the room—the  
one with the dark brown eyes,  
dimples, and "butch" haircut—is  
Samuel. My, they're  happy, even  
though they each have a cast on  
their arms or on their legs.  
Now watch these boys when the  
sunshine band from the college 
comes in. From all parts of the 
ward comes the shout, "The Satur- 
day singers are here! The Saturday 
singers are here!" Each little boy  
in his own way attempts to show  
off with the perfected antics that  
only he can do.  
Their favorite song Is "I Will  
Make You Fishers of Men," al- 
though I have heard of them sing-
ing "Silent Night" in April, for only 
special requests are sung.  
After attending this band only  
once you grow to love these little 
fellows. The Orthopedic Band went  
out the Sabbath of the big blizzard 
when all the other bands remained  
in the dormitories. And why? I 
asked Mary Kube and Tommy  
Stutchman, co-leaders of this band,  
and this was their reply: "it gives 
you courage to see these little boys. 
They're just as happy and normal 
as the youngsters on your block at  
home—except they'll be deformed  
possibly for life. You don't have to 
entertain them, they entertain you. 
Seeing them not only strengthens 
you, but also makes you a lot more 
thankful."  

K appa  Z)heta  
By Stella Ramirez  
It's times likes these (which are now upon us) that I wonder at  
the saneness of the calendar makers, who declare that spring comes 
the 21st of this month. With all our precipitation statistics on the  
ground, I fear that when spring does come, we'll have to swim to classes.  
There's no doubt about it! Rees Hall girls are just trying to keep  
the doctors in business, what with Charlotte Morris joining the limp 
parade and Lavonne Rheinhart hurting her hands. Hope you'll both 
be well soon, girls. You'd think with all these senior nurses around we'd  
be healthier.  
Speaking of injuries, the Rees Hall girls would like to extend their  
sympathy to Rexford Turner for his injury sustained during the recent 
social! Our faculty members are to be complimented for their agility on  
the donkeys. Of course, the girls did pretty well too; but then that 
was to be expected.  
You boys need never fear that Union College is not training its  
female students in the domestic arts. Upon visiting the Home Manage-
ment class, I discovered that, not only is Mrs. Dunn teaching the girls 
how to prepare attractive meals, but is also giving them economical 
hints such as: how to wash the dishes in the dish washer without  
water, fishing potatoes (raw, of course) out of the garbage disposal, and  
last but most scientific, orbiting the potato soup.  
At our last club meeting we were dee-lighted to have the girls'  
tumbling team perform. Under the direction of Maureen Kinyon and  
Verna Vance, the members do a top-notch job. They make my daily  
exercises look insignificant.  
Our prayer bands are again sponsoring a worth-while project. Many  
of you no doubt remember the Don Stowes who were here last year. 
They are now situated in Monument Valley; and in a recent letter to 
Miss Remley, Mrs. Stowe commented on the need of another oxygen  
tent for babies. One of these tents is on display in our first floor lobby.  
Although our official campaign for this ends the ninth, I'm sure  
that anyone wanting to make a contribution after that may.  
How observant are you? Have you seen  
Fonda Swann's beautiful teardrop?  
Gail Emde's new dishes and stainless steel?  
The Spread Room's dishes, glasses, canisters, etc.?

V. A. Announces  
New Pension Plan  
Veterans and their dependents  
now receiving pension payments  
from the Veterans Administration  
will receive a special pamphlet and  
a card on which they may make a  
choice in the envelope with their 
next pension check, A. H. Dux-
bury, Manager, Veterans Adminis- 
tration Regional Office in Lincoln, 
said today.  
The check, pamphlet and card  
will be received in the mail on or  
about March 1, he added.  
The pamphlet supplies full infor- 
mation on both the present and the 
new pension laws  so that the pen- 
sion recipient will be able to make 
a choice between the two plans.  
Mr. Duxbury pointed out that  
there was no hurry about making 
the choice and that the pensioner  
could continue under the present  
pension law as long as he or she  
were eligible. Once a pensioner  
chooses to come under the new law,  
however, there is no return to the 
provisions of the present law.  
The pamphlet, in addition to ex- 
plaining the advantages or disad-
vantages that may affect individ-
ual pensioners under both laws, 
also gives clear instructions for fill-
ing out the enclosed card by which 
choice of the new pension law may 
be made.  
The new  pension law goes into  
effect July 1, 1960, and the card  
must be received by VA on or be- 
fore that date for the new rate to  
go into effect that date. If the 
card is received by VA after that 
date, the new rate will be effective 
as of the date the card is received,  
Duxbury said. Full information may  
be obtained at any VA office, or  
from any Service Officer.

FEATURE FOCUS  
Miss Whitfield Artist in food  
by Betty BeU  
A minister from the General  Con- 
ference, who was visiting our cam- 
pus sometime ago, made the state-
ment that the Union College Cafe- 
teria was the most efficient and  
best all-round cafeteria in any of  
our denominational schools.  
This is not a singular opinion.  
Campus visitors are always im-
pressed by what they find within  
the doors of our cafeteria.  
Often there are real artists  
among us, and yet we fail to place 
them in that category. Miss Whit- 
field, director of food  service here  
at Union, is certainly an artist in  
every sense of the word. The posi-
tion she fills is one of the most dif-
ficult, as well as one of the most 
important. The health of the ma- 
jority of our students depends to  
a great  extent on Miss Whitfield's  
careful planning. The proper nutri-
ents, a good variety of food, effi- 
cient food service—so many things 
are included in a task that is un- 
ending. Yet with all this responsi- 
bility Miss Whitfield still takes time 
to practice her profession as an  
art.  
Perhaps the place where her  
artistic endeavors are most appar-
ent is at one of our school ban- 
quets. The banquet chairman finds  
Miss Whitfield to be a very versa- 
tile person. For almost any theme  
she seems to know just the menu, 
have just the recipes and produce  
just the decorations to produce the  
desired effect. The food service at  
one of her banquets is always 
smooth and well organized.  
Yet even at a banquet some peo- 
ple still grumble and crack jokes 
about the food. They somehow fail 
to appreciate the hours of tedious  
work that go into making one of  
these occasions a success.  
Miss Whitfield tries to please  

everyone at sometime or another.  
Of course, we don't all like to eat  
the same things so we can't all be 
happy at every meal. However, at 
various times she features foods 
that are favorites in different sec-
tions of the country. For the South-
erner it's corn bread and black-eyed 
peas. For the midwesterner it's corn 
on the cob. For the oriental stu-
dents, rice is a special treat. Inci-
dentally, if you have some favorite  
food that you've been wishing the  
cafeteria would serve, why don't  
you mention it to Miss Whitfield. 
She is always happy to have sug- 
gestions.  
It may surprise some readers to  
know that Miss Whitfield also 
writes poetry; she used to be dean 
and an English teacher. One of her  
hobbies is photography, and she 
shares her beautiful slides with us 
willingly. So, you can see that she  
is a woman of many talents.  
The spirit of  an artist, the soul  
of a poet—Miss Whitfield is a 
great asset to Union College.

Clublicity,  
Student Conference  
Mr. V. S. Dunn, the Union College  
Business Manager, spoke at the 
regular monthly meeting of the  
Student Conference, Wednesday, 
March 2. His topic concerned the 
role of the church pastor and his  
influence in church economics. He 
brought out the various aspects of 
a church building program, such  
as the planning of a conference  
committee, the selection of an ar-
chitect, the selection of contrac-
tors, and the acquisition of build- 
ing materials. Mr. Dunn concluded  
with the statement that the min- 
isterial students are entering the 
Lord's work in a new era of pro- 
gress and expansion in the de- 
nomination.
