B Ogden, to whom the annual is dedicated. Jav Sloop, president and business manager of the yearbook, introduced the program, entitled "This Is Your Life", by presenting the master of ceremonies and script-writer, Art Dick. Along with the appearance of previous classmates and longtime friends of the Ogdens was the sur- prise appearance of their daughter Merlene, who is now on the teach- ing staff of Emmanuel Missionary College. Another highlight was the presentation of a cake to Dr. Ogden in honor of his birthday tomorrow. The original copy of the charcoal portrait which appears with the dedication in the annual was given to Dr. Ogden. It was drawn by Joyce Grimes, one of the art editors. Yearbook editor Bill Bobinson read the dedication to Dr. Ogden, cofAs M C i which says: "To one who has spent thirty-eight years working with youth; to one who is a wise and understanding counselor, teacher, administrator, and friend to hun- dreds of young men and women, wc wish to express our appreciation in a small way by dedicating the 1956 Golden Cords to Dr. E. B. Ogden." The first 1956 Colden Cords was then presented to Dr. and Mrs. Ogden. Honorary annuals were also pre- sented to President H arvcy C. Hartman, sponsors Virginia Shull and Harold Lickey, and printers James Anderson and Pete Knight. The theme of this year's modern- istic annual is that of a blueprint, incorporating the idea that what we learn and do here at Union Col- lege is the pattern and foundation upon which we will build the rest of our lives, according to Editor Robinson we should follow the blueprint that CJhrist, our "Per- fect Pattern," has presented to us as a way of life. Appearing on the cover is a sec- tion of blueprint blended into a design of white lettering upon a two-color background of deep blue and light blue-gray. This same design is carried through on the two-color divider pages through- out the book. Other members of the Golden Cords staff this year are: associate editor, Georgia Strieker; assistant editors, Theron Ware and Frank House; literary editor, Lola Cleve- land; roster editor, Laurel Peter- son; art editors, foyce Grimes and Hubert Watkins; advertising man- ager, Maurice Bascom; secretary, Virginia Durichek; treasurer, Kathy Prentice; circulation manage r, Richard Scott; and photographers, Dale Palmer and John Ruffing. Chapel Honors 115 UC Students One hundred and fifteen students were presented by Dean E. B. Ogden to President Hartman for special recognition at the thirteenth annual Honors Convocation held in the Union College auditorium May 2. Rudolph L.

Rain Dampens All-School Picnic A deviation from picnic custom occurred May 1 when rain preven- ted the carrying out of original plans for an all-day outing in Pio- neers Park. UC-ites turned out and in at the college auditorium for the unpopular solution to the pre- cipitation problem. In the gymnasium were directed games of basket-ball, ping-pong, smash, volley ball—and jump rope. The picnic lunch was served in the cafeteria, and continued indoor re- creational activity followed during the rest of the rainy day. Union College Helps Beautify Lincoln My dear Mr. Hartman: Thank you and your students for your excellent cooperation in our project, "Keep Lincoln Beauti- ful!" Especially grateful for your "set- ting up" the picture for the news- paper. Have made a final tour of city and your campus looks beautiful. Let's keep it up throughout the year! Keep Lincoln Beautiful. Thank you. Mrs. Harry W. Hust, Pres. Mrs. P. E. Peterman, Gh. Lincoln Women's Club Harold Heath, Nancy Curtis, and Roger Thompson, first, second, ond academy winners respectively, pose with the girls' dorm campaign gool device on the final doy of the effort. Heath won o hi-fi phonograph, Curtis chose luggage, and Thompson obtained a table radio. Although the final figure was well over the $20,000 mark, all funds that come in over that are earmarked to replace the $1800 raised for the student campaign by President Hartman, whose funds will be diverted into the general building fund, according "to Ernest Ziegenbalg, campaign manager. UNCOUN. IjgBR ASKA CLOCK TOWER May 4, 1956 Feature Focus: The Pangs Find Equality in Christ Sometimes everything seems to go topsy-turvy all at once! That's the way it has been around North Hall for several days. Of course, someone from the outside looking in perhaps couldn't tell the dif- ference, but it is here nevertheless. First of all, Sally Nugent came down with the red measles and as soon as the little red spots dangerously announced the arrival of this highly contagious disease, was put in isolation at the infirmary—sans friends, sans books, even sans light- That wouldn't have been so bad but a few days later, as Ruby Hoy and Thelma Wain watched every person who had been exposed to Sally, in a completely different part of the camp, another case of measles was found. This time it was Lorene Redwine with the German variety. Since this type is also con- tagious, Lorene was isolated, but not in the infirmary. Due to the fact that she could infect Sally with her type of measles, and Sally could just as obligingly infect Lorene, the two measles victims were sepa- rated, Lorene staying downstairs in the clinic. This might sound a little confused, but I told you everything was topsy-turvy! We have a few comforting remarks in parting for Thelma and Ruby. There are still two more kinds of measles possible for the girls to get that would also have to be isolated separately. If anyone comes up on the campus near North Hall and sees tents pitched on the front porch, you'll know what happened. This might be a good time for all the girls in North Hall to give a special "thank you" to both Thelma Wain and Ruby Hoy for their good care of each one when sickness strikes. Kindness, patience, and supreme good will (even when the elevator is broken and they have to bring the sick trays up the stairs on foot!) have earned them a spot in our hearts. Thank you so much! Orchids to Wanda Butcher and her swimming exhibition, "Water Circus." It was a beautiful thing, thanks to her organizing ability and the help of her life-saving class which includes Virginia Bishop, Carmen Scuka, Miriam Durichek, Betty Chase, Jeanie McNeal, Billie Peckham, and Rita Kannenberg. The jovial clown, Alva Williams, musn't be forgotten, or the gay little family of Merilyn Wheeler Wanda Versaw, and Francis Evans. They just happend (?) to fall into the water on a little walk and some of the life-saving skills were dis- played in rescuing them from the pool. Why did it take Kenny Dedeker so long to persuade Rita Kannen- berg that she should go down to the parlor for a little visit? She just had lots of other things to do, but when he finally succeeded, Rita was happily surprised by a bridal shower given in her honor by Jan Morgan, Jennifer Butherus, and Marianne Underwood. Senior week end was a lot of fun and a happy break in the college schedule. (Just ask Joan Marie Smith, who still hasn't quite recovered from that early morning breakfast given for the SWJC Seniors!) While De Launa Keith and Lorene Redwine were over at the Chat, someone came up to them and said, "Oh, you two girls must be seniors!" (their egos definitely took an upward swing at this point) and then qdded, "What Academy are you from?" Needless to say, they quickly dropped their guise of dignity and age! Fred and Mollie Pang in their Lin- coln home. From his home in North Korea, Fred went to Seoul, where, working as an X-ray technician in a Sev- enth-day Adventist hospital, he met his wife, a nursing student there. This hospital provided his first contact with Adventists, and an American army doctor who was there, a graduate of Union College, is now Fred's sponsor in this coun- try. When the war broke out, Fred experienced many of its horrors. He saw bridges and buildings blown up and parents deserting their children in an effort to save themselves. He saw nurses used as hostages on the front lines, or forced to go on death marches where countless myriads perished from hunger, fatigue, and heat. Efforts were made by the Red officers to force Fred to sign a false confession and to join the Communist Volunteer Army. When he would not, he was beaten, and was threatened to be shot. After much torture he fainted, and when Little Jewels Mark Stephen, born to Mr. and Mrs. Donald Crandall, (Peggy Gordon), on April 9. Weight, 7 pounds, 7 oz.

Here he remained for some time with many other prisoners. They were given only a small lump of rice and a cup of water once a day. They ate the grass by the side of the road on the way to the drinking place, although the police guards forbade it. When the police station was bombed, the prisoners were moved, and in the confusion that followed, a Red officer signed a paper saying that Fred could not enter the army due to previous surgery, and Fred was set free. Soon after this release, he was captured again, this time for having a radio, with which the communist (accused him of contacting UN forces. Pie was imprisoned and tortured more severely than before, and allowed no sleep. The guards beat and kicked him to keep him awake. Finally he decided to vol- unteer to join the Red army, think- ing that in that way, he could get to the front lines and then surren- der to the UN troops. On the way to the front lines, the train he was riding was bombed, but he was able to escape. He hid in a lM-foot high space beneath a floor for fourteen days until the UN forces came. Pie was later re-united with Molly, who had also been impris- oned by the Reds and subsequent- ly employed by them in a hospital. After the cessation of hostilities they were able to come to America to continue their preparation for the Lord's service. Fred feels that God was with him and guided him in his escapes. In his own words, "God helped us whenever we met difficulties and His powerful angels were watching us wherever we went. How won- derful are His hands! How won- derful is His ability to save those who believe Plim!" Of the many foreign students who make valuable contributions to UC's school life, few have un- dergone more arduous experience than have Fred and Molly Pang from Korea. Fred, a junior pre- med, enjoys the busy American way of life, and has found that in the brotherhood of Christ there is no distinction of persons. Alumni (Continued from pnge 1) will be Mrs. Lee Minium, '31 and Robert Gunst, '54. Sacred music presented by the Union College Concert Band on the lawn tomorrow afternoon will be followed by an alumni-presented vespers program, "The Story of the Tradition of the Hanging of the Golden Cords." in the College View church at 6:45.

Committee Nominates Pays to hav* a financial "•para" too! Use Our Friendly Help! Union Bank Lincoln, Nebraska Member F.D.I.C. pocket The school year of 1956 is rapidly drawing to a close while we sit idly by and hope for the best as far as tests and final grades are concerned. Lately the topic of conversation seems to be centered on graduation and plans for the approaching summer vacation. Sports and social activities take the spotlight, while school work and ap- proaching tests remain in the background. We find it far too easy to spend that one free period at the "Chat" instead of profitably using our time to prepare ourselves ade- quately for the examinations just ahead. Instead of taking advantage of our one last opportunity to raise our grade average, we are thinking only of the summer ahead and the fun and many good times it will afford. We have little time to remember that by failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail. C R Academy sophomores from top to bottom are: Richard Wreed, Theron Morley, Myron Hinaer, Richard Griffin, James Petry, Jerry Peterson, Roger Simpson, Mr. Morford, Delbert Conrad, Allen Enderson.. Lamont Hill, Jeanie Deming, Dorothy Chase, Joycc Coleman, Juanita Rohde, Geraldine Beck. UC Sophomores Fourteen sophomores are attend- ing Union College Academy, and they come from fourteen different towns and villages of eleven differ- ent states in good old USA. The fourteen sophomores are more than typical American young people. They are most unusual be- cause they are the only sophomore class ever to grace the halls of the academy section of the ad building during the school year of 1955-56. But that's not all. They bring a wide variety of experiences to the academy. Mike Hinger, born at a wide place in the road—Pettibone, North Dakota, pop. 190— knows a good deal about rural life, how it feels to live where you don't have to dodge street cars or city buses. The other extreme is Jeanie Dem- ing—birthplace, Plammond, Ind., pop. 100,111—where Chicago traf- fic spilled onto the streets like wa- ter from the rim of a too-full pail. In between are Rapid City, South Dakota; Toledo, Washington; Ma- son City, Iowa; Page, North Da- kota; Arkansas City, Kansas; Spen- cer, Iowa; Bartlesville, Oklahoma; Cripple Creek, California; Park Rapids, Minn.; Pluckly, Texas; Medicine Lodge, Kansas; and Oma- ha, Nebraska. And in the same order they con- stitute the birthplace of such illus- trious sophomores as Dorothy Chase, Joyce Coleman, Ncta Rhode, Geraldine Beck, Delbert Conrad, Allen Enderson, Richard Griffin, Theron Morley, Jerry Peterson, James Petry, Roger Simpson, and Richard Wreed. Take twenty-eight thousand nine hundred seventy-six ordinary Amer- ican citizens, look them over well and you'll find our 1956 Union Col- lege Academy sophomores. It's like this. Sophomores of 1956 are scarce but they will be noticed. It takes 405,661 citizens to produce the likes of these young fledglings. Statistically, this is without ques- tion. Take all the cities and towns that have been honored with the birth of one of this special group and you have the above figure— 405,661. Stand this great group in a sin- gle line and then call for the sopho- mores to take one step forward and you would see them, all fourteen strong, every 28,976th person. But they can hold their own. These fourteen sophomores know where they are going. Sophomore class of 19.56, fourteen strong—nine boys and five girls—we salute you!

The sun is up long before the first bell rings at six, so there's no danger of getting lost in the dark on the way to morn- ing devotionals. Several fellows have mentioned the idea of starting a ferryboat service since the rain started, but some of our cowboys from Texas seemed too eager to be captains (only one captain per boat allowed) so the idea was quickly abandoned.

Second Floor CLOCK TOWER May 4, 1956 Editorials: SPECIAL COMMITTEE REPORT The subject of financing the CLOCK TOWER and the conducting of CLOCK TOWER campaigns has received a great deal of discussion and comment on our campus during the year. The experiment followed this year in the CLOCK TOWER campaign came because of the large clement of dissatisfaction among students, staff, and CLOCK TOWER officers of the high pressure campaigns previously conducted, with their accompanying forms of frivolity and wasted time and efforts. There are yet some who claim that the plan was perfect. It still leaves us with the fact thai our financing problems are still with us, and thot the problems are growing. We are not the on ly school with problems of financing and cir- culation of a school paper. A recent survey shows that all of our sister colleges are largely dissatisfied with their past and present plans of operating their school papers and are seeking other solutions. One school subsidizes its paper completely; another school tried running a campaign through form letters sent out by the paper's staff; another school simply charged extra subs to students' accounts without a campaign; and yet another of our colleges conducts a summer cam- paign with students bringing their subs with them to school in the fall. We are not unique in seeking a way out of running this mass- hysteria type of campaign that has been the tradition of most schools and has long been questioned by many who have thought seriously of the problem. To openly criticize the last campaign as a failure is entirely unfounded. True, the goal was not quite reached, but it came within $200 to $300 of what was budgeted, and the business staff made savings and adjustments which absorbed this amount and balanced the budget. The main, just criticism of the campaign was that it was not publicized and kept before the students constantly enough. Mul- titudes of congratulations were passed to the staff by students and teachers for the sane and sensible way things were carried on. However, since the first of the year, printing costs have gone up, which will result in an unbalanced budget for the CLOCK TOWER for this year and will add approximately $1000 to the cost of financing the CLOCK TOWER for next year. The present budgeted costs are about $6500, and next year's costs will be in the vicinity of $7500. During the winter, a neutral committee was set up under the auspices of the student association to study the CLOCK TOWER'S problem, poll student opinion, and suggest a policy for the future. The committee studied several alternatives and made some sugges- tions. The first of these was that the CLOCK TOWER should be kept in its present form and organization. The agreement on that was unani- mous. There was also agreement that modified campaigns were ex- tremely desirable As for financing the paper, this plan was proposed: to ask the college to increase their subsidy for publicity purposes. All costs are going up, and a sharing of increased cost seems reasonable; to in- crease the activity fee from $1.50 to $4.00 for the CLOCK TOWER per student; this will include one subscription to be sent where the student designates and which can be refunded by solicitation; and to hold the CLOCK TOWER staff responsible to plan the raising of the balance. At this writing, the above plan of your neutral committee has been discussed and recommended by the student-staff council. It has yet to appear before the administrative council and the student asso- ciation. In either or both of these bodies it is subject to approval, veto, or modification. In the last analysis, any way you consider it, the student is even- tually charged the cost of having a school paper. More specifically, in every campaign we end up putting subscriptions (in greater numbers actually) on student accounts which could as well be handled by taking care of it automatically. The only difference is that the load will fall evenly rather than on some. Provision can be made for refunds on activity fees for married couples just as is done with the Golden Cords. Is the CLOCK TOWER worth as much to the student as the Gold- en Cords? During a year's time isn't one of these student publications worth as much as the other? They cost very similarly the same to put out. At present the Golden Cords takes $6.00 of the student activity fee; $4.50 for a subscription, and $1.50 for your pictures. Is not the CLOCK TOWER problem similar, and would not a similar solution seem justified? Robert E Firth Clock Tower Financial Advisor STUDENT POLL A poll was taken recently by the CLOCK TOWER to determine to some extent if the student body of Union College was in favor of "a dual slate ballot for all elected student positions on the campus, with the exception of the CLOCK TOWER and Golden Cords edi- tors." The following percentages were obtained from a group of one hundred students and staff questioned. Those in favor of such a ballot 83% Those favoring our present system 11 % Those without opinion or who don't care 6% '°11 recognize the importance about a reconsideration of the ban of names the school paper bo- on evening sessions for student f"se >'01' haY.e been makinS that committee meetings?

It is inconceivable and students of Union College for that students should excuse their the field's financial support of scholastic program by their extra- our school. On the other hand, we curricular activity; yet it appears do seem to recall something about ridiculous to ask students to carry the left hand not knowing what a representative ASB program with- the right hand does. . . .

He states that the American Association of University Professors has "nailed its pink Hag to the mast." He is referring to the association's action in censuring certain colleges and universities who fired teachers for not signing a loyalty oath or for standing on the Fifth Amendment in regard to their past associ- ations. Silly Specimens Mr. Moley also feels that is is a dirty shame that we must have dis- agreement and bickering among ourselves when it is so imperative to pre- sent a united front against Russia and world Communism. In a grand finale, lie extols the importance of good judgment on the part of a teacher. He states that anyone who has joined the Communist party in the last 25 years is a "silly specimen" and "guilty of a gross lack of judgment." (This evidently makes Mr. Moley a "silly specimen" as 20 years ago he was associated with a widely divergent philosophy from the one he now professes.) Efficiency vs. Liberty However, the real issue is not the importance of good judgment or the lack of it on the part of a teacher. The real issue is how and by what procedure should the teacher be judged, especially of he is a member of a state university. Mr. Morley evidently advocates scrapping the Fifth Amendment as an outmoded part of the Constitution. He favors substitut- ing efficiency for liberty, innuendo for fact, discipline for freedom. I will agree with Mr. Moley when he says that our cold-war efficiency is enhanced if we present a united front to the world. I also believe that if wc were to regiment and discipline our people so as to guarantee their maximum effort, we would triumph over Russia. But, in reality, totali- tarianism would have won the battle because we would be in its clutches. When we sacrifice one iota of principle in favor of efficiency, we auto- matically forfeit our right to fight on the side of the free world. Does the Means Justify the End? I sincerely hope this doesn't sound like alarmism. History has shown us that small compromises result in big losses when freedom is the com- modity dealt in. It all comes back to whether the end justifies the means. I think it safe to say that whenever the means used are incompatible with principle, the end desired takes on their stigma and therefore loses its desirability.
