Feature Film to Provide 
Dec. 15 ATS Activity  
The local chapter of the Ameri- 
can Temperance Society has laid 
plans for its December activity  
to take place on Saturday night  
December 15. Planned for this  
activity is the Methodist Temper-
ance film "Far From Alone." Pro-
claimed by Tcmperance people to  
be one of the most outsanding films  
in their field, "Far From Alone" is 
unique in that it hits at the heart 
of the drinking problem without  
the use of a drinking scene throug- 
out the entire picture. According to  
Special Activities Co-ordinator  
Vernon Thompson, the film in tech-
nicolor promises to be one of  the  
outstanding programs of the year's  
activities.  
The November activity, original- 
ly slated for November 20, and then  
delayed because of the early  
Thanksgiving vacation, was finally 
held December 4.  

La Sierra Announces  
Summer European Tour  
For History Credit  
La Sierra has recently announced  
for this coming summer another 
European tour patterned some- 
what after the one taken last  year.  
The tour is limited to 30 mature  
Seventh-day Adventists and will 
consist of 71 days travel. Thirteen 
countries will be included in the 
trip which will leave Los Angeles  
in July and return September 10. 
Travel both to and from Europe  
will be by ocean liner which will go  
via the Panama Canal.  
The tour will again be conducted  
by Professor and Mrs. John J. Ham-
ilton and can be taken as four hours  
of college credit from La Sierra  
College. Professor Hamilton states 
that the tour will be somewhat  
more extensive than the one taken  
last year and that the tour will  
broaden one's education in history, 
art, music, literature, church his- 
tory and economics. The cost is  
$1256.00 for the complete trip.  
Those wishing information can  
obtain details by writing immedi- 
ately to Professor Hamilton at La 
Sierra College, Arlington, Cali- 
fornia.

College Association  
Elects Hartman Pres.  
At the annual meeting held Fri- 
day, November 30, at the College  
of St. Mary in Omaha, Nebraska,  
President Harvey C. Hartman was  
elected president of the Nebraska  
Association of Church Related Col- 
leges for 1957.  
This organization, of w h i c h  
Union is a member, is represented  
by twelve church related colleges 
located in Nebraska.  
It was voted that the next annual  
meeting in the fall of 1957 be held  
on the campus of Union College.  
Council Purposed as Students' Voice  
Pictured above ore the members of the Student-Staff Council. Standing left to  
right: Larry Fillingham, Don Houghton, Deon E. B. Ogden, Dear. M. S. Culver,  
Barbara Journey, Cleo Johnson, Miss Floda Smith, Bob Scott, Dr. Lowell Welch' 
Bill Wilson. Seated  left to right: Gail Emde, Carolyn Spring, Jeanne Rogers, Art  
Dick, Marcia Petersen, Joyce Dick, ond Coreina Lowry.  
"I move that the Student-Staff  
Council recommend to the admin- 
istrative council the organization 
of a Student Association in order  
to unite small student groups under 
a body that can speak for"the stu- 
dents." Such was the motion of  
some member of the Student-Staff  
Council about six years ago. Froin 
this recommendation came the As-
sociated Student Body as we know  
it now.  
The Student-Staff Council is one  
of the beginning steps in student 
association action. Proposals for 
changes in operation are brought  
to the council where they are dis- 
cussed by the students and staff. 
From the discussion, a recommen- 
dation is made to the administra-
tive council, who give approval to 
the final proposal that goes to the  
student body.  
Dating back to the 1930's, the  

council was a result of President 
Andreason's feeling of a need for  
student opinion. He appointed a 
group of students to meet with him  
as the need arose to discuss cam-
pus problems. The council devel-
oped through the years into a reg- 
ular functioning committee and fin-
ally 10 years after the first meeting, 
a working policy was adopted.  
This year the committee is word- 
ing on the possibilities of a student  
center. Already passed, but delayed 
now by the lack of an association 
president is the recommendation  
for adoption of a student court. On 
the agenda is the voting system and 
changes in the student handbook.  
This council is an open one and  
students having points they feel  
need to be brought up are wel- 
come and invited to come to the 
meetings. Dates and agendas of  
meetings arc posted on the bulletin  
boards on the campus.  

Choirs and Orchestra  
to Present The Messiah  
Oratorio, December 14  
The Messiah Oratorio will be  
presented in the Union College 
auditorium Friday evening, De- 
cember 14, at 7:30.  
This will be a presentation by ;i  
mass college and community group  
of many of the traditional numbers  
of the Messiah and also a few of  
those that are rarely heard. One  
such number will possibly be the 
premier duet for alto and tenor 
"O Death, Where fs Thy Sting?"  
Although the musical narratioi!  
will be presented 111 its entirety, i*J 
will be complemented by a dramat- 
ic narrative.  
One hundred fifty voices will  
sing the full choral parts of the  
oratorio. This group will be made  
up of the Golden Chords Chorale,  
the College View community  
chorus, the College View church  
choir and the Union College Acad- 
emy chorus.  
The orchestral accompaniment  
and orchestral parts will be played  
by the U 11 i o 11 College Concert  
orchestra.  
Soloists for this performance will  
be Wretha Griffin and M y r n a 
Wadsworth. sopranos; Jackie 
Schimke, alto; Don Runvan and 
L\ •nn Wickham, tenors; and Larry  
Britt and W i 1 1 i a m A. Haynes,  
basses.  
The organist willtbe Miss Elea- 
nor Attarian, organ" instructor at  
UC. The dramatic narration will  
be given by Mr. Arthur Hauck,  
head of the speech department.  
Co-conducting the entire organi- 
zation will be Mr. William A. 
Haynes, director of vocal music at  
UC, and Mr. Arthur G. Howard,  
director of orchestra and string  
instruments.  
Reynolds, Romans  
to Solo in UC's First  
Band Concert of Year  
Bonnie Reynolds and Bob Ro- 
mans will be featured as soloists 
in this year's first band concert a  
week from tomorrow night, De-
cember 15.  
Miss Reynolds, a music major  
f r o  m Glendale, California, will  
play "Clarinet Concerto" by Rim- 
sky-Korsakof, and R o m a n s will  
present "Grand Russian Fantasia" 
as a cornet solo. Bob, also a music 
major, is a junior from Loveland,, 
Colorado.  
The major work to be performed*  
by the band is the first movement  
of D v o r a k ' s "New W o r 1 d  
Symphony."  
"The band," says Conductor H.  
Lloyd Leno, "has an exceptional  
good balance of instruments. Of  
special interest is the proportion of  
comets to trumpets (most school  
bands do not have separate cornet  
and trumpet sections). The band  
also has the color of such instru- 
ments as oboe, bass clarinet and a  
full quartet of French horns."  
Mr. Leonard B.  Smith, nationally  
known cornet soloist, composer, 
and conductor, will appear with  
the band in it's final performance  
next spring which will follow the 
annual spring tour. The band is also 
scheduled to appear in a sacred 
lawn concert during the alumni  
homecoming, May 5.


CLOCK TOWER, DECEMBER 7, 1956  
OVERHEARD  

Aj/u Qixutuatuxu Qarkwss... Silence... Death..  
NORTH  
by Sally Nugent  
Kappa Theta made historical (quote Mr. Cleveland, "un") fun at  
club meeting last week with a guess-the-masquerader panel. Emcee  
Cleveland was paneled by Barry Siebenlist, Bert Brethauer, Dixie Mar- 
cotte, and Jim Dieringer. Wearing masks and "out of this campus"  
costumes were various members of staff, faculty, student body and  
a villager. Bearing brushes and dustpan, flower-print-gowned and  
bonneted came the first masquerader, Miss Anderson.  
Mimicking a hayseed complete with straw hat, overalls and hay  
was our dean, Dr. Ogden. Wearing a fine disguise but unable to mask 
the well-known Reinmuth mannerisms, the language department  
head was  discovered pretty readily. Other masqueraders were Betty  
Collingsworth and Bill Wilson (switching sex identities to make an  
incomparable couple team) and Hubert Watkins (as a pure white  
sheik).  
Indian summer brings slim promises of snow flurries for-this  
December. But there are flurries in the warm nest of North hall. If  
you were as silent as a boy on a lyceum date, as transparent as the 
enthusiastic friendliness of  the unasked you might observe unnoticed  
such gatherings as those of late studiers (?) who sit after lights out,  
around the study lamps on first floor. Conversation wanders.  
The tactful girl of the da)' is unquestionably Nellie Elling from  
whom we heard this overt bit: "Yes, thanks, I'd like to go with you.  
I'll see you at seven. (Skates in opposite direction from new-found  
date and then:)  
"Hey, wait!!! Hey, you wait!—What's your name'"  
Over the hill to Grandmother's house  
Or to Chicago with friend or spouse. . . .  
seemed to be the Turkey day theme, this past. Mr. and Mrs. French,  
Bill Edwards, Larry Schmidt, Beb Warren, Charlie Randal, Jeannie 
McNeal, Larry Fillingham, Muffin Kavanaugh, Jerry Nelson, Nellie  
Elling, Bonnie Reynolds—-are a few windy city goers whom this  
reporter saw or overheard there.  
This year's cool, civilized bidding is mighty different from the  
Pre-banquet rush a  couple of years ago when it was every woman for  
every man and almost everyone had secretly decided to ask John  
Westerberg. What jousting, what romance in the air! But this is the  
age of modernism realism, neurotic impressionism, when a banquet  
is called a banquet and women are not afraid to call the right men.

Hazen Shoe Repair  
Across from the campus  

by Douglas Eddleman  
ATS Publicity Secretary  
The quiet night was suddenly  
pierced by the sickening liowl of 
careening tires on wet pavement. 
This abrupt announcement was  
quickly followed by a crash, the  
sound of g 1 a s s tinkling to the  
street, and then, silence. The si- 
lence seemed to loom up from the  
now crumpled mass of what had 
been a gay, late model car as if in  
benediction to its passing. Blend- 
ing with the deadly silence of the  
moment was an alcoholic odor,  
wafted on the slight))- moist at-
mosphere, that also raised its  head,  
not in benediction of what had  
been, but in a sense of triumph in  
behalf of the bottle from which it  
emanated. And all this saturated  
with darkness.  
And so it is that darkness, the  
darkness of ignorance, the daik-
ness of selfishness, the darkness of  
non-concern and irresponsibi'ity, 
all have their part with the destruc-
tion typified above. This sort of 
eerie scene is not a seldom and  
isolated incident. Neither is it an  
oh-it-always-happens-to-somebody- 
else experience. No, it is always  
dangerously  eminent. It is forever  
and again asserting itself with new 
devices of destruction; destruction 
of life, of property.  
This speaks tragedy to man.  

But is not the greater tragedy to  
be found in yielding to the desires  
that initiate the highest percentage  
of accidents? A desire for a drink, 
a desire for the thrill of acceler- 
ating speed, a desire to out-speed 
and excel all other motorists within 
sight, the inhuman desire to do  
what one pleases, without consider  
ation of the possible consequences  
to others, have all contributed lav-
ishly and without reserve to the  
tragic darkness and silence of des- 
tructive accidents.  
True,  automobile accidents can- 
not be completely obliterate1 from  
our society. But why aie v.v not  
able to rid ourselves of t h e s e 
caused by a number of unjustified 
ego-satisfying acts on our part? If 
we possess the moral agency of  
disciplining our thoughts and ac- 
tions toward the benefit oi human-
ity, are we worthy of this faculty  
if we do not use it to the ultimate?  
The task, then, of reducing the  
number of automobile accidents 
remains a private duty for each in-
dividual. Let us separately take  
upon ourslves the privilege of dis- 
ciplining our desires as we sit be-
hind the wheels of our automobiles. 
Above all, let us put into our daily 
driving habits the ideal,  ". all  
things whatsoever ye would that  
men shall do to you, do ye even so  
to them

"Chat" Fills Stomach; Not Brain  
We are a product of heredity and environment. Heredity we  
cannot do anything about, but we can control our environment.  
Mental development is just as important as physical culture  
and that's what we are here for. Let us not miss an opportunity to get  
all we can out of  our school work.  
We have the tendency to feel that by skipping just today we  
won't be able to tell the difference afterward. But it doesn't work that  
way. After we spent one period at the Chat last week and still received' 
good grades why not this week too?  
It is not only a duty but a privilege to attend classes regularly  
for there are but a comparative few young people who have the oppor- 
tunity of attending school at "Good Ole Union".

A disaster skit was presented by  
the nurses' association in chapel on  
Nov. 29. The first scene was in  a  
restaurant where two different  
types of couples came. Natalie  
Deming and Don Syfert were the  
first couple, the sloppy type. Then  
came Royal Saunders and Jean-
ette Syfert,  representing the well  
groomed and polite, Christian-like  
type. Mr. George was the onlooker,  
who gained impressions from these  
couples. The second scene found  
casualties, Don Syfert and  Natalie

came upon the scene but didn't  
know what to do until a student  
nurse, Joyce Huisman, came along 
and instructed them on how to 
give artificial respiration. June  
Cornelsen came to the rescue at  
the call of her class mate and help-

Pritchard carried the unconscious  
victim out. June Cornelsen and  
I o y c e Huisman, student nurses,  
then told about different nurses

OVERHEARD  
SOUTH  
by Dick Milholm  
Names make news. Last week these names made this news,  
(apologies to TIME magazine.) To get to the news of the day there  
were Mr. and Mrs. McHenry visiting Bob McHenry recently; also  
Dennis Schock's parents  and his brother Dick came to the campus to  
see him. Dick is a physical therapist in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  
"Pro" Wilson (Bill to his enemies) is organizing and pushing a  
large ski club. He has already received applications for membership  
from over twenty-five enthusiasts. If this continues growing as it is  
at the present rate the Rocky Mountains will indeed be swamped 
come Christmas vacation. I wonder how many will have acquired a  
new cast or crutch to accompany them back from the hills? To say  
the most, we hope for the least!  
Thanksgiving vacation brought on  many perils to a few people it  
seems. Bob Hyde was all packed and ready to go home when his ride  
just didn't pan out. Well, Bob isn't  a man to give up, so finally catch- 
ing a ride, he arrived in Sterling, Colorado, in time for his annual  
turkey dinner. Everything went fine until it was time to come back 
to dear ole' Union. He waited five hours for his transportation to pick  
him up, then thinking he had been deserted, he hopped a train. He 
still arrived an hour earlier than those  tardy people who were once  
his friends.  Way to stick to it, boy!  
I hear that Katzie Anderson and her carload of gleeful passen- 
gers found themselves, of all places, in a snowy ditch. No one was in- 
jured and no apparent damage was done to the car.  
Last Sunday, if you were looking close, you could see Kyle  
Grant and Mr. Jester scurrying through a dense screen of smoke in  
the administration building basement. They succeeded in extinguish- 
ing the small, but smokey flame.  
I don't know  if this guy is a philosopher or not, but someone  
heard him (Cleo Johnson) say: "There are two things hard on the  
heart, running up hill, and running down people." We won't vote on  
this, because someone might refer it.

CLOCK TOWER, DECEMBER 24, 1956  
For many years there has been a problem on our campus. Past  
editors have presented it, committees have discussed it, letters have 
been received, and plans presented, but no solution has yet been 
reached and Sabbath School goers still strain to make out the voice  
of their teacher, and teachers strain to make themselves heard over 
the straining voices of 29 other teachers. Discussion is still stymied  
for the average citizen who cannot speak loud enough from his seat  
to be heard by any but those immediately surrounding him.  
Several suggestions and ideas have come to the attention of the  
editors. Though a disadvantage can be cited for the greatest share  
of these, the question is—which solution has the most advantages?  
First, let's discuss the purpose, the reason we have classes at all.  
Why not have a general study—someone lecturing through a micro- 
phone on the platform? We feel that all are agreed that the class 
is organized to give all a chance to ask questions and give and hear  
different viewpoints on the lesson. We're also sure that most would  
agree that the accomplishment of this aim is greatly hampered in the  
present situation.  
The desirable would be to have classrooms in the gym, but be- 
cause of the seeming impossibility of excavating the basement or  
lowering soundproof domes from the ceiling to cover each class,  
nothing has been attempted along this line. And why not use the  
classrooms in the administration building? There are several reasons.  
. .1. The mortality rate. There would be those who would take ad- 
vantage of the exodus and would not attend the class.  
2. General inconvenience.  
The advantages of this system are quite obvious for in a class- 
room each lesson could be studied and discussed rather than lectured  
upon.  
The question here is—which is more important—deriving all  
but a  very few of the benefits of the study or losing those who do not  
wont to study, likely the same who sit on the back rows consistently, 
and allowing the interested to gain a blessing and understanding of 
the lesson that is impossible now.  
Another suggestion would be to set the chairs in semi-circles of  
fewer rows with more room between the classes. This would permit  
more of a discussion atmosphere, all would have their backs to the  
other classes and making it easier to hear and see the teacher. The 
problem—setting the chairs in such an arrangement.  
Finally, if nothing else can be done, it does seem that the aisles  
could be made wider making it a little farther from one straining  
yoice to the other. Perhaps we could take advantage of the balcony  
and even the platform to spread classes out somewhat.  
This is the situation as we see it. Now is the time to express  
your opinions. Are you satisfied with the Sabbath School situation as  
it is? Would you like to see a change? What change? Let us know 
hew you feel about it. Write a letter to the editor.

So far this year, the courtesy committee has not been very  
active. However, we have turned over a new leaf. Our aim is to make  
the students on this campus "Courtesy Conscious." Courtesy and  
Christianity go hand in hand. People pick good, true Christians out 
of a crowd by the actions of those persons. Their consideration for  
"others" is the distinguishing feature. I have put "others" in quota- 
tion marks because, just as our theme for November was "Reverence,"  
our theme for December is "Others." During this month, when the  
Christians it is our duty to uphold courtesy as an extreme virtue.  
And remember, consideration for others includes the small things as  
well as the large. Studying during Chapel or Convocations, bucking  
line at meal time, or simply not excusing yourself if you walk in front  
of a person are all examples of how discourtesy can be shown. As  
Christians it is our duty to uphold courtesy as an extreme virtue.  
To accomplish our aim, the committee has decided to sponsor,  
during part of December, a  courtesy jingle contest in which all are  
invited to enter. Just think of a good jingle on courtesy, write it out,  
and hand it to one of our committee members or to Mrs. Welch. Small  
prizes will be given to the  three chosen as being most applicable and  
best stated. Your jingles must be in before 9:35 on Wednesday, De- 
cember 12th, so start thinking now.  
We hope the student body will cooperate with us and make  
•his courtesy campaign a success. We'll be looking forward to your  
jingles.

You may have heard last week  
of the man who wanted to go east  
. . . from Illinois to New York.  
But upon checking the particulars, 
he found no commercial way that  
could 'handle' him. The lad, with 
an unbelievable waste line of 115  
inches, made his appeal to the 
CAC, and with their "OK, but just  
this once," agreement, an Air  
Freight plane rumbled up the run- 
way, loaded its 1014 pounds of  
human cargo through the mon-
sterous door of the ship, and flitted 
away.

Isn't there an ancient Chinese  
proverb that goes "Let the lion lie  
down with the lamb but only if  
the lamb is on the inside." You  
read just that between the lines a 
few days ago when the up-front 
man for China's communism sug- 
gested and even invited Chiang 
Kai-shek to matters of Chinese  
government. Now what in the  
world would Chiang do, check  
one-way visas at the border?

Chemistry Project Encourages Student Research  
Bv Sarah Anders  
About thirty-five years ago a  
can of spoiled peas was found to  
contain a strain of bacteria that 
had survived the temperature used  
in processing. While not directly  
harmful to the human body these 
bacteria do cause considerable  
spoilage of canned foods.  
The question naturally arose as  
to why these bacteria were able 
to withstand the high temperatures 
used in food processing. Investiga-
tion revealed that many of the pro-
teins in the bacteria were stable 
to temperatures to 70-80 degrees  
C whereas most proteins are affect-
ed by temperatures of 50-60 de-
grees C.  
In the Chemistry Dept. Research  
Project one of these stable proteins 
is being isolated and studied in  
an attempt to discover why it is 
stable to heat. Dr. Brown believes 
that the heat stability is due to the 
presence of trace amounts of cer-
tain metals and to something 
unique in the structure of the pro- 
tein itself. It is hoped that the pres- 
ent project will give us a better  
understanding of the structure of  
proteins as well as possibly being  
of value to the food processing  
industry.

will help the faculty keep in touch

Sabbath School Sponsors Old Bible Search  
Pictured above are three of the Bibles collected in the drive. All the Bibles  
cntcrd in the contest will be on display until December 19.  
The Union College S a b b a t h  
School has just completed a search 
for old Bibles in cooperation with  
the American Bible Society which  
places special emphasis on daily  
Bible reading during the weeks  

between Thanksgiving and Christ- 
mas. A copy of the New Testament 
in modern language was offered as 
a reward to the student submitting  
the oldest Bible.  

by gain an insight into how re- 
search operates.  
The project is being financed bv  
a research grant of $3000.(X) so  
there is no expense to the college.  
The Chemistry Dept. at Union is  
well equipped to handle m a 11 y 
types of research. Present plans are  
to keep one project going all the 
time to provide experience, inspir-
ation, and—it is hoped—results!  
The Weymouth translation of  
the New Testament was presented  
to Gail Emde of South Sioux Citv,  
Nebraska, in Sabbath School, De-
cember 1, for the oldest entry. The  
Bible she submitted was printed in  
1828.  
Both English and German Bibles  
were brought in from various- 
parts of the Northern and Centra'  
Unions. Several of the Bibles a 
large editions having heavy leather  
covers embossed with gold design.  
One of the Bibles brought in  
from the Sioux City, Iowa area, has 
a list inside the cover of the various 
weekly meeting places for Sunday  
church services. Meetings were  
held in different places and con-
ducted by different men week by  
week.  
Another Bible, belonging to the  
college history department, once  
belonged to the family of  Adoni- 
ram Judson, an early missionary  
to Burma.
