Vol. XLVIII  Union College,  Lincoln,  Nebraska,  November  9,  1973  No. 9  
UN invites Union to dinner  
by Judy Brisbane  
The Lincoln chapter of the  
United Nations Association of  
the U.S.A. held their annual  
banquet on October 25. The  
evening began at 6:30 in the  
Center for Continuing Education 
on 33rd and Holdrege.  
Three international students  
from Union College were invited 
to the banquet. Mr. Andre  
Rebsomen, modern language  
professor went to Union's 
international student adviser. 
The students that attended were  
Rohinie James from Guiana, 
Ibrahim Bawa from Nigeria, and  
Preston Chin from Malaysia.  
Rohinie and Bawa wore 
costumes typical of their 
countries.  
Other colleges that were  
represented were University of  
Nebraska, Wesleyan University, 
and Doane College.  
Howard W. Ottoson, a former  
president of the chapter, gave  
the invocation. Then dinner was 
served. A music program 
featuring an accordian 
symphony band followed the  
dinner. The band was sponsored 
by Thomsen music store. The  

musical pieces were from  
different countries.  
Officers of the Lincoln  
chapter of the U.N. Association  
of the U.S.A. and the people  
responsible for the banquet were  
introduced.  
Mrs. Rowena Boykin,  
international student adviser at 
the University of Nebraska,  
introduced the foreign students  
by schools.  
Miss Susan K. Brown read her  
winning essay on "The United  
States and the Declaration of 
Human Rights." This contest 
was conducted in the high  
schools of Lincoln. She received 
one hundred dollars for the first  
prize.  
Mrs. Donald E. Clusen was  
the main speaker. Her topic was  
"The Environment and 
International Prospective." Mrs.  
Clusen is vice-president of the  
League of Women Voters. She  
was an observer of the U.N. 
Conference on Human  
Environment held in Stockholm,  
Sweden, June 1972.  
"The banquet was a good  
opportunity to meet other  
international students. I was glad  
that Union College was  

represented," commented  
Rohinie.  
"The lecture and essay that  
were presented showed that the  
U.S. has a lot of faith in the  
U.N. as an establishment capable 
of binding all the nations of the  
world. The recognition given to  
us foreign students in Lincoln is  
a testimony to that fact," stated  
Ibrahim Bawa.  
Three goals suggested by the  
1 9 72 Stockholm conference  
were establishment of  
government counsel on 
environmental programs to draw  
up overall guidelines;  
establishment of a Secretariat to  
coordinate all programs on  
environment; and establishment  
of an environmental fund of 100  
million dollars to be used in the  
next five years for research and 
problem area solving.  
Other things considered were  
human settlements, land and  
water usage, and educational  
training and assistance. Many of 
the suggestions given by the  
conference have already been  
approved by the United Nations.  
The banquet was held in  
honor of United Nations Day.

First Supper discusses enrollment, TV  
President Myrl Manlcy made  
the opening remarks at this 
year's first President's Round  
Table discussion held in the  
Pioneer room, Tuesday, Oct. 30.  
One of the first topics of  
discussion was the completion of  
the new ad building. The original  
completion date was August of  
1974. However, some problems  
arose that slowed it's progress.  
Manley stated, however, that the  
August, 1974, completion date  
was still possible.  
Several of the students  
expressed concern over the drop 
in enrollment this year and  
asked what could be  done about  
it. Manley said that some of the  
things contributing to the drop  

in enrollment was thc-crpeiiing of  
Southwestern Union College,  
and the discontinuing of the  
draft. He also said that distance 
and parents' preferences are not  
as strong a factor in college 
choice anymore.  
Is there any reason why the  
TV in Rees Hall is not on in the 
evening since the watching of 
TV is allowed as a general  
policy? This was the question  
raised by some of the girls at the  
discussion. Manley said that he  
knew of no reason why the TV  
was not left on in the women's 
dorm but that he would check  
into it.  
The last topic of discussion  
centered around the  

cGiiSlituency. Aii "opinion "was  
expressed that the school was  
trying to  please the constituency  
more than the students. Manley  
stated that a lot of  consideration  
had to be given to the 
constituency because of the  
support they give to the college. 
Without their much-needed 
support Union College could not  
operate.  
Manley encouraged the  
students to feel free to discuss 
any  problems or questions  
concerning school policies with 
him. He concluded by saying  
that he was proud of the  
students and of the friendly 
attitude they had.  

by Don Anderson  
There are five men who have  
come to Union College from  
Nigeria. They are Macoulay  
Azougu, Business  
Administration; Solomon Otaru,  
Accounting; Sampson Esochagi,  
Pharmacy; Chidi Nwaogugu,  
Physics.:, and Ibrahim Bawa._ 
Biology. They are all juniors.  
These students come to  
Union from the Adventist  
College of West Africa in Ilishan,  
Remo, Nigeria. This college has 
between 500 and 600 students.  
Desire for a Christian  
education was one factor  
influencing these men to come  
to Union. The Adventist College  
of West Africa did not have the 
necessary curriculum for them 
to complete their education in  
their chosen fields. Another 
factor involved was the high  
recommendations given by 
Americans they met who had 
graduated from Union.  
According to Bawa, the first  

couple of months in the States 
are the hardest "because you  
must learn to understand the  
new language and accent. Also  
the foundations received in a  
Nigerian school don't help too  
much with college here. With a 
poor foundation the studies  
come much harder."  
Another difference that Bawa  
noted was that Nigerians seem  
more friendly than Americans.  
There are many problems  
confronting the Nigerian student 
who wants to come to America.  
The plane ticket alone costs  
S600. After the student has  
arrived, there is a financial 
demand that must be met or he  
could be deported. A high  
scholastic performance is also a  
criteria for being allowed to  
remain. Bawa said that there are  
many Nigerian students who  
would like to come to America  
but cannot afford it.  
Carriger wins second prize  
from Missouri Writer's Guild  
Sally Carriger, a senior  
elementary education major, has 
received a second place  
recognition award and check  
from the Missouri Writer's Guild 
for her poem, "Globes of 
Crimson." Charles Esperla made  
the presentation.  
Sally had her first poem  
published when she was eight 
years old. She had about 40 or  
50 poems published between the  
ages of 8 and 17. She started  
selling her poetry when she was a  
senior in high school. Since that  

time some of her poems have  
appeared in "Message 
Magazine", and Ideals". She has  
also written stories for the  
"Guide and "Primary Treasure",  
stories for the "Guide and 
"Primary Treasure".  
She likes writing children's  
stories, or stories in verse, but  
she prefers writing poetry. One 
of her poems, "The Youth of  
Christ", was set to music by Lew  
Tobin.  
Sally said she writes for the  
fun of it, a sort of free-lance

John G. Neihardt, Nebraska's poet laureate since 1921, has started  
a new adventure. He died Saturday at his daughter's home in  
Columbia, Mo. During his lifetime he wrote 25 books of poetry, 
fiction, and philosophy; many of them dealing with Sioux Indian 
culture. He expressed his view of death last spring during his last  
appearance at UNL as "a very beautiful adventure." Neihardt was 92  
when he died.  

Globes of Crimson  
Hanging heavy on their boughs;  
Globes of crimson, 
Tart and sweet.  
Dappled with a lacy pattern:  
Sunlight, leaves and apples meet.  
Matched against  the panorama  
Of a  brilliant harvest scene,  
Crimson blends with gold and brown; 
Stands keenly out against the green.  
Summer's bounty hugs the earth 
'Mid azure skies and golden fields,  
While apples heavy on their boughs  
Become a part of autumn's yield.

make writing a career, but plans 
to leave it "on the sidelines."  
Sally has had poems  
published by the National Essay  
Press, the National Poetry Press,  
and the St. Joseph News Press.  
She also worked for the St.  
Joseph News Press one summer, 
as a reporter and feature writer.  
Sally has worked on school  
papers since eighth grade, and is  
now the copy editor for the  
Clock Tower.  
As for how she does it, Sally  
said "I just see something 1 want 
to write about, and so I do it.  
You can't say how to write a  
poem. That's like saying how to  
paint a picture, or compose 
music. You just do it."  
Sally has a minor in English  
and in library science, as well as  
a concentration in social science.  
Right now she is student 
teacher in the first grade room at  
Calvert Elementary School.  
She wants to be a media  
specialist in an elementary  
school. She would like to stay in  
Lincoln so she could work on  
her master's degree in library 
science at Nebraska University.  
Sally's home is St. Joseph,  
Missouri. She has two brothers  
and one sister.


2  CLOCKTOWER  NOVEMBER 9,  1973  
in our humble opinion  LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS  
Who knows?  
Theological predictions are way out of my realm. I am  
not much of a prophet. But some interesting coincidences  
are making history today and it might be a good idea to  
give them some thought. We  wouldn't be the only ones.  
I recently read an editorial in the Collegian, from Walla  
Walla College, about the affect Watergate would have on  
American  morality. The writer maintained that the  
Watergate affair would cause another type of "new 
morality" to sweep the country—only this time it would  
show itself in extreme legalism. Anything that disturbed  
the conformity or peace of the national morality would be  
removed. That would include these strange  
nonconformists, the Seventh-day Adventists. Is Watergate 
such a definite sign of the end?  
Another interesting, but perhaps unimportant,  
coincidence is the existence of Nehemiah 8:1-3. "And all  
the people gathered themselves as one  man into the street  
that was before the water gate . . .  And Ezra the priest  
brought the law before the congregation, both men and  
women . . . And he read therein before the street that was  
before the water gate from morning until midday, before  
the men and women . . . and the ears of all the people were 
attentive to the law."  
Of course, there are other things to look at, too. They  
are quite trite by now. We have all heard and said many  
times that "Yep, the world can't last much longer. Look at 
all the pollution and wars and innocent deaths. Probably a  
sign of  the end." Everyone in the group nods their heads  
and the conversation shifts to some other, more relevant 
topic.  
But not everyone just nods their head and forgets it.  
There is in this issue of the paper a book review describing  
a book called Prophecy. It was written and published by  
non-adventists and uses the Bible texts as cutlines for  
photographs. That's all there is to the book—today's  
pictures accurately described by centuries-old words. But 
they fit. Does the originator of this book know something 
we don't?  
There are other interesting theories floating around  
lately about the Arab-Israeli conflict, too. One of them is 
that is is the beginning of Armegeddon. Another one is 
that it is a red herring concocted by Satan to make us miss 
the real battle. Who knows?  
Who knows? Who really does know? Are these tilings  
true "signs of the times?" Should they be considered false 
alarms? Could they possibly be_ a benevolent, forewarning  
from God to wake us up? Is it time now to regain our 
sense of urgency about this second coming? Or do we have a  
little more time? Who knows. VLD  
21 and getting better  
There are certain events that  take place in the course of  
a person's lifetime that are infamous for their traumatic 
overtones. Among those events are being born (which 
thank goodness, we can't remember), turning 21 (which if 
you're lucky, you'll never forget), and dying (which is 
nothing short of a dead end experience)!  
Contrary to popular belief, upon turning 21, you're- 
vision doesn't dim, your gums don't start to swell, your  
back doesn't give out, and senility doesn't set in. (Unless: 
of course you chose to celebrate your 21st in a manner not: 
customary of 'decent' young folk!) What turning 21 does  
do, among other things, is make you legally responsible for  
everything you do, which may be good and may be bad  
depending on how you look at it. Upon turning 21, you no  
longer have an excuse for acting like a juvenile because, 
legally, you no longer are one. People will now expect you 
to act your age, which believe me is a real drag.  
I have a friend who is having a 21st birthday today and  
this is especially for him.  
I really love birthdays and I love celebrating them even  
more. But I prefer to think of birthdays not as a  
celebration of years or of age but as a celebration of 
people. Birthdays are really celebrations of love FOR 
people. If you stop to think about it, I'll bet that the 
people you find yourself laughing with, crying over, 
looking up to, and just plain loving are the people whose  
birthdays are the most fun to celebrate.  
The trauma with which so many people meet birthdays  
seems so foolish. Birthdays are celebrations of life, and life 
is beautiful when there are people around you who love 
you and care about your being on this earth.  
When people say "Happy Birthday", it's really just  
another way of saying, I wish you hope, love and 
happiness forever.  
But of all the things a birthday is, it is least a measure of  
age. Franz Kafka once said, "Youth is happy because it has 
the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the  ability to  
see beauty never grows old." The person for whom I am 
writing this has the most extrordinary concept of beauty  
and I want to thank him for sharing with me that infinite  
appreciation of it. I can never see him growing old because  
of it.  
So in closing may I simply say, "Happy Birthday" and  
always remember, you're not getting older, you're getting 
better!  vcw  

''I JUST P1PNT THINK ANYONE COULP ?OS5\0tf  
&COKE 50 LOW ON AN "OPEN BOOK' TE€>T."  
from the bookshelf  
Prophets still alive  
Watergate . . . political  
accident or Biblical prediction?  
In the Old Testament Book  
of Nehemiah, these startling  
verses appear:  
And all the people gathered 
themselves together as one  
man into the street that was  
before the water gate . . . And  
Ezra the priest brought  the  
law before the congregation,  
both men and women . . .  
And he read therein before  
the street that was before the  
water gate from morning 
until midday, before the men  
and women . . . And the seed  
of Israel confessed their sins .  
. . We have done wickedly:  
Neither have our kings, our  
princes, our priests, nor our 
fathers kept the law . . .  
Whether such a coincidence  
makes people smile or shiver, it  
certainly must make them  
reflect and wonder. For once  
again it is plain that the solemn 
warnings of the Prophets have  
lost none of their force, 
significance, and visionary 
grandeur.  
new book  
Now a new book by Myrna  
Bercovici - PROPHECY - 
combines the compelling words 
of the Old Testament with  
powerfully stark pictures by the  
world's great photojournalists.  
The result is a statement of 
unique force and relevance. The  
text, in the timeless phrases of  
the prophets, and the more than  
30 contemporary photographs  
are juxtaposed to form an angry,  
ironic, thought-provoking  
commentary on man's bitter  
experiences and his threatened 
future. The Warsaw Ghetto . . .  
Auschwitz . . . My Lai . . . 
Bangledesh . . . Are these what 
the prophets foresaw 5000 years 
ago? Did they also divine the  
poverty, pollution, brutality,  
and fatal arrogance of our time?  
PROPHECY not only suggests  
the answers; it forces us to  
ponder the questions.  
Above all, it pleads that we  
care. Senator Sam Ervin has  
spoken movingly of "the laws of  
man and the laws of God,"  
awakening a new consciousness  

of the Scriptural message in an  
era that we have tended to  
dismiss as "alienating . . . 
anxiety-ridden . . . plastic."  
Modern man has attempted to  
segregate his spiritual welfare  
from the daily concerns of  
business, politics, and statecraft;  
PROPHECY is a chilling  
reminder that such  
compartmentalization  is not  
only wrong but ultimately  
impossible.  
no political statement  
Myrna Bercovici is not  
making a political statement.  
She is not serving up glib 
predictions, telling us that the 
turmoil, tragedy and errors of  
the 20th century were  
foreordained and therefore  
inescapable. On the contrary, 
she is saying that the moral 
impetus of the Prophets is still 
alive and may- redeem us yet.  
"Several years ago, when I  
was reading the Old Testament  
out of curiosity and discovering  
how startlingly it echoed current 
headlines and newsreels, the 
word 'Bible' had a decidedly 
negative connotation among 
many people I knew — including  
myself," she says. "So much 
injustice and abuse has been  
perpetrated upon humanity in 
the name of religion that it was  
difficult to separate this great  
document from all the  
distortions and fanaticisms that  
arose from its misuse.  
"But the Prophets were  
clearly visionaries who saw  
beyond the limits of their own 
time to a universay standard of 
personal conduct and social  
responsibility. They spoke of  
deeds, not dogma; righteous  
actions, not ritual For this, and  
because they often made  
military and political action  
impossible by their  
uncompromising attitudes, they  
were jeered or ignored. But 
continued to speak. And their  
voices can still be heard if we  
only listen."  
PROPHECY will appeal to  
people of all faiths — and failing  
faiths. While it is without  
question an indictment, it is also  
an inspiration. The vision is  
clear. The choice is ours.

peek at  the  week  
Birthday party  
or 'Cromwell'—  
tomorrow night  
There are a number of things  
going on Saturday night to  
choose from. First, you can have  
your own party: you can  
celebrate the birth of 
Muhammad (born 570 A.D.), or 
the birthday of Spiro T. Agnew  
(born Nov. 9, 1918). Second is  
an ASB activity, the film  
"Cromwell," to be shown at  
8:00  p.m. in the Student Center.  
"Cromwell" appears  
Richard Harris as "Cromwell"  
plays a God-fearing puritan and 
military genius, austere and  
humble, but stubbornly bending 
to his will the diverse people of  
17th century England. Alec  
Guiness stars as the ill-fated 
Charles I who is sentenced for  
treason.  
Sandra Hale of the New York  
Daily News says of "Cromwell",  
"Highest rating! In every  
a s pect—scope, magnitude,  
pageantry, battle, presentation  
and skilled action—"Cromwell"  
ranks with the precious four  
superb motion pictures in 
English history."  
John Schubek of WABC-TV  
says "Cromwell" is a smashing  
victory, a must film. "It's an  
epic, a terribly relevant page of 
history illuminated brilliantly!"  
Third, for nostalgia buffs, the  
Beach Boys will be in concert at  
Pershing Auditorium, 7:30 p.m.  
And fourth, Evelyn Lear, a  
soprano, will be giving a concert 
as part of the University of  
Nebraska's Performing Arts  
series. Ms. Lear is leading  
soprano for the Metropolitan  
Opera.  
Ragtime concert  
Thursday, November 15,  
Jushua Rifkin will present the  
piano rags of Scott Joplin. The 
concert will be held at Kimball  
Recital Hall and an informal  
session will be held at Kimball 
on November 14.  
In addition to serving as the  
musical director for Noresuch  
Records, Joshua Rifkin has  
assembled and produced, 
arranged for Judy Collins, 
recorded albums of his own, and  
completed several music degrees.  
Recently he joined the faculty  
of Brandeis University.  
One of Rifkin's top musical  
priorities is the revival of the  
turn of the century ragtime 
music of Scott Joplin. Ranked  
among the greatest of ragtime  
composers, Joplin succeeded in  
transforming the rough vibrancy  
of Midwestern saloon music into  
a subtle and polished art. In his  
hands the flowing syncopated  
treble and steady bass typical of  
ragtime took on rare suppleness,  
magnificantly rendered in  
Rifkins performance of Joplin's  
piano rags.  
Banquet coming  
Hey, don't forget about the  
banquet-the ASB banquet that  
is. Once again, it will begin at  
6:30 November 18 at the 
Cornhusker Hotel. The dinner  
music will be provided by the 
Union College Orchestra. Dave  
sheltner will perform and a  
movie will complete the evening.  
The Clock Tower extends its 
apologies to Joann 
Herrington for the mistake in  
last week's class officers 
story. Joann was elected 
Senior class secretary, and  
not Helen Dick as was  stated  
in the story.  
Last week's editorial, "Our  
musical offerings," was 
written by Jeff Loon.

QUESTION: After having been instructed by Dr. Thomas as to the 
dangers of over use of sugar, I am wondering why the cafeteria serves  
so many desserts, unnecessary candies and cakes? These are certainly  
not important to our diet. JL  
ANSWER: The students are going to purchase them anyway, 
whether we serve them or not. We're not trying to be a conscious for  
somebody else. As far as the desserts we make, I don't think we 
serve too many of them. We are in the process of withdrawing the 
ones we put out there. I want to cut that down. I am concerned 
about the sugar area, because there is no question about it, it is  
detrimental to us. 
QUESTION: What can be done about couples that "make out" in  
the cafeteria lobby? QL  
ANSWER: Mr. Evans said that he was not aware there was any such  
problem. He had only known of two instances and both times the  
people were spoken to.  
QUESTION: Are they going to have any cafeteria buffets like last  
year? K. L.  
ANSWER: Mr. Evans said that they are planning to have at least one 
buffet a month.

These are the minutes from the last student senate meeting. But  
they are more than that. They are an invitation for you to attend the  
next SS meeting, 6:30  p.m. Tuesday. At that time the Senate will  
discuss a policy of TV censorship for the television in the Student 
Center. Your attendance and opinion is needed because the TV 
happens to be your TV, and the policy will be your policy.  
Whatever is decided will be assumed to have your consent if you  
do not speak up. If you cannot attend the meeting please find your  
senator and speak your piece to him/her.  
The Student Center garage is now available for student use. It will  
be open during the regular Student Center hours. Cars must be 
checked in and out with the hostess, and there is a total time limit of  
four hours. If you need the garage any longer than that, see Jim 
Brauer.

Corp can use grads  
To many college students in  
our nation, the biggest question  
is how they can use their college  
education to benefit others  
without having a Master's or  
Ph.D. degree. For those  
freshemn and sophomores  
interested in math and science,  
the State University of New  
York may have the answer.  
On the campus of the State  
University at Brockport there 
exists a unique program known  
as the Peace Corps/College  
Degree Program. The program,  
the only one in the U.S.A., was 
started at Brockport in 1967, for  
the purpose of training teachers  
in the math and science areas to  
be stationed overseas as Peace  
Corps volunteers for two years.  
The first five years of the  
program were aimed at sending 
teachers to Latin America but 
the new emphasis is on  
Francophone Africa, especially  
Zaire, the former Belgian Congo.  
In fact the project director has  
just returned from a two-year  
teaching tour there.  
The program, which lasts for  
15 months, is geared towards  
training volunteers who have 
finished the equivalent of a 
two-year program, 60 credits, 
with enough hours in their math  
or science major to finish in four 
semesters. The graduates, who  
minor in French, Zair's official  
language; receive a Bachelor's  
Degree and provisional New 
York State Teacher 
Certification.  
The program begins in June,  
continues through the fall, the  

spring and second summer.  
During the two summer sessions  
the students receive intensive 
training with special attention  
given to French, taught by an  
international staff. During the  
academic year the trainees take a  
full load which includes the  
French courses taught by  
Professor Georges Hingot, who  
lived in Zaire before and after its  
independence. The French  
courses involve total immersion  
and are designed to give the  
students a working vocabulary  
so that they can teach in French 
by the second summer of 
training.  
During the spring semester  
the co-directors; Mr. Noble and 
academic director, Dr. Elaine K.  
Miller, hope to take the students 
to schools in French speaking  
Canada to give them the 
experience of teaching in a  
francophone classroom.  
Mr. Noble reports that last  
year's groups has finished its 
training and is now at schools  
throughout the Zaire. The 
present group of 26 will take up 
their assignments next August.  
Both Dr. Miller and Mr.  
Noble stress that there is a  
serious need for trained teachers,  
one that Peace Corps is helping  
to fill, so if you qualify for this 
program and are interested in  
teaching in Africa, write to:

Next year will mark the  
centennial of world missions by  
the Seventh-day Adventist 
Church.  
Clyde O. Franz, secretary ot  
the denomination's General  
Conference, announced the  
centennial at the opening 
business session of its Annual  
Council in Washington, D.C.  
In his report Franz reminded  
council delegates of the first 
overseas thrust of the young 
church back in 1874. John 
Nevins Andrews, a  
"down-easter" with a strong  
literary penchant, sailed for  
Europe, September 15, 1874. He  
was the first minister of the  
Adventist faith to be called by  
his church to go overseas.  
Andrews headquarters  
became Basel, Switzerland, but  
he extended his ministry, 
through writing and public  
appointments, to other countries  
in Europe.  
From this first venture  
outside the North American 
continent, the church moved  
rapidly until today it has work 
in 193 countries and is giving its  
message in 557 languages. 
Membership has grown for a  
Youth is happy because it has  
the ability to see beauty.  
Anyone who keeps the ability to  
see beauty never grows old.  
Franz Kafka  
Supreme Court  
supports UMC  
student's press  
In a case involving the  
distribution of an underground  
newspaper on campus, the U.S. 
Supreme Court has ruled that 
"the First Admendment leaves 
no room for the operation of a  
dual standard in the academic  
community with respect to the 
content of speech."  
The Court's decision reverses  
a District Court ruling which  
held that on a university campus  
"freedom of  expression could  
properly be subordinated to 
other interests such as, for  
example, the conventions of  
decency in the use of display of  
language and pcutures."  
The plaintiff in the case, a  
graduate student of the  
University of Missouri School of 
Journalism,, was expelled for  
distributing a newspaper on 
campus which the university  
found "obscene." The Supreme 
Court ordered that the student  
be reinstated, unless barred for  
valid academic reasons.'  
Although the Court  
recognized the authority of the  
university to enforce reasonable  
regulations as to the time, place,  
and manner of speech and its  
dissemination, it held that the  
distribution of the paper was not  
disruptive and that the student  
was dismissed solely because of  
the content of the newspaper.  
In reversing the lower court,  
the Supreme Court said "that 
the mere dissemination of  
ideas—no matter how offensive  
to good taste—on a state  
university campus may not be 
shut off in the name alone of  
"conventions of decency."

little over 5,000 in 1874 to  
2,304,000 today.  
Secretary Franz referred to  
the major faith of the 
church-its belief that Christ will  
return to the earth when the  
church has fulfilled its 
commission of carrying the  
gaspel to all the world. (The  
church teaches that Christ's  
return will mark the end of the  
world and the beginning of  
eternal life for those who accept 
Jesus as their Savior.)  
"We will not celebrate a  
century of pilgrimage," Franz  
said, adding that the church was  
overdue in completing its work.  
"Rather," he said, "we shall in  
this year express our gratitude 
for God's abiding presence.  
He added, "If we are to finish  
our task, our need today is not 
for supermen but rather for  
spirit-filled men and women."  
Tangible evidence of the  
concern of members for the 
church's world mission was given 
in the report of the treasurer for 
the denomination, Kenneth H. 
Emmerson. The treasurer said 
that Adventists have responded  
to the problems of devaluation  

of the American dollar with a  
special offering for mission work  
totaling $2,177,000.  
Some 700 top officials of the  
church representing all areas of  
its work are participating in the  
Annual Council. Business 
sessions are held daily except  
Saturday through October 18.  
Reports from the ten world  
divisions are scheduled for 
evening meetings in the Takoma 
Park church at Eastern Avenue 
and Laurel Street, N.W.  
Business items of the council  
include such matters as an  
Adventist research center in 
Europe, funding for inner-city 
services, better living centers, 
work for the Kasai in Africa, the 
denomination's mission  
airplanes, and its evangelistic  
outreach in 1974. Special  
concerns of the denomination's 
educational program, health-care 
facilities, and publishing will also  
be discussed.  
Final item on the agenda will  
be the setting of a world budget  
for the church for 1974. In view  
of the sickly dollar, it is 
anticipated that the budget will 
be a record-breaker.  
Music maintains average  
Dr. Robert Murray is the  
chairman of the fine arts  
department. Within the music 
area of this department, there 
are 30 majors. This is the average 
number for any year. All of the  
states in the Central Union are 
represented in addition to  
students from Washington, D.C.; 
Alaska; and the Bahamas.  
Mr. Dan Shultz is the director  
of the concert band and the 
concert winds. The Concert 
Band meets every Tuesday  
evening from 7:30-9. The 
Concert Winds rehearses on  
Mondays and Wednesdays at  
5:10. On November 17 the two  
groups will present an  
on-campus program.  
There are two  
choirs—Unionaires and the  
Collegiate Choral. Both are  
directed by Mr. Lynn Wickham.  
There are 22 in Unionaires and  
60 in the Choral.  
On December 8, the  
Unionaires will give a secular  
concert on the campus. The  
second half will feature  
highlights from Paint Your  
Wagon, and How the West was  
Won. Costumes will be used.  
Ryan Wells will give his senior  
recital on the piano, November  
14. Also, two faculty recitals  

have been given.  
The Hour of Praise are  
Sabbath concerts given by Mr.  
Ray Ruckle. These are presented  
on the organ at the First  
Plymouth Congregational  
Church.  
The Christmas program will  
be presented on December 7, at  
First Plymouth Congregational  
Church. The entire .music  
department will participate.  
The Unionaires will be  
assisting the gymnastics team in  
giving some of their off-campus 
programs throughout the year.  
Mr. Ellis Olson is working on  
his doctorate from NSC. Miss 
Naomi Jungling is presently on  
leave of absence. She is working  
on her doctorage in Nw York. 
She will be returning after  
Christmas to teach piano and  
theory.  
There are weekly classes for  
organ students of Ruckle.  
Weekly voice classes are  
provided for Wickham's  
students. Murray has weekly  
classes for his piano students  
also. The purpose for the classes  
is two-fold. The students will  
become acquainted with a wider  
variety of music, become more  
used to performing.

Pen  Pusher  club  mobs  Lincoln  

by Ann Halley  
Tuesday, October 30, proved  
to be an exciting, interesting,  
rewarding, and challenging field 
day for the Pen Pushers' club. 
With the aid of our "safe,  
reliable, and courteous" 
bus-driver, we barely made it to 
our appointments after running  
over several curbs, and rubbing  
noses with several tree trunks,  
not to mention the hitchhiker  
we blew away.  
At 8:30 a.m. we arrived at  
Bryan Memorial Hospital. We  
separated into groups of five to 
seven. Each group toured a  
particular department of the  
hospital. Among these  
departments were Personnel,  
Medical Records,  
Cardiopulmonary lab, X-Ray,  
Dietetics, and the Administrative 
offices. Our next rendezvous was 
with the First National Bank of  
Lincoln. The bank was  

beautifully arranged and was  
fully automated. Some of the 
departments we visited were 
Savings and Loans, Bank  
Americard, Data Processing, 
Check handling, and 
Safe-depositing. All eyes opened  
wide in amazement as we  
entered the hugs Safety-deposit  
vault and stared millions of  
dollars worth of papers and  
jewelry in the face.  
Our last and most interesting  
appointment was at the Lincoln  
Courthouse. We sat in on several  
court cases—not as partakers, 
but as spectators. This greatly 
relieved our department  
manager. Such cases as traffic  
violations, alcoholism, and even  
a case of glue-sniffing were 
brought before The Honorable  
Dusen berry.  
Among the cases tried was a  
traffic violation trial where the 
defendant, a young,  

good-looking university student,  
saved himself $100 at least by  
acting as Iris own attorney. Very  
clever... However, he wasn't  
counting on being on stage in  
front of 45 female spectators.  
Too bad he lost!  
After the court session was  
completed, Judge Dusenberry  
graciously gave us an hour of his  
valuable time for a question and  
answer period.  
All in all, we had a very  
rewarding indepth look into 
some of the business roles in the  
Lincoln community. We also  
learned how to become  
completely exhausted in  
"1,000,000 Easy Steps"! If you  
are interested in a challenging  
future in the Business world,  
keep your eye on the Union  
College Pen Pushers. Perhaps 
you may wish to join us.

Lincoln, once known as Lancaster, was founded in 1859. In 1864 
the town was designated as the Lancaster County seat and, in  
1867, as Nebraska's state capital. Its growth from a small village  
to a modern city has been sure and steady down through the 
years. Abundant agricultural production, manufacturing, govern- 
mental activities and educational institutions have all contributed  
to make Lincoln the fine city it is today.
