4J wet VOLUME XXVII UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, AUGUST, 1951 NUMBER 18 Mineteen Seniors LOGAN RECEIVES Ph.D. H. C. Hartman, president of Un- ion College, has announced receipt of a letter from the chairman of the department of speech at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin stating that Mr. Virgil Logan has received his Doctorate of Philosophy in Speech from the university. The letter reads as follows: "It is with very sincere pleasure that I inform you of Mr. Virgil Logan's comple- tion of his candidacy for the Ph.D. de- gree here with a major in speech. Mr. Logan had clone excellent work in every particular. We all think very highly of him personally, and we are sure that you are fortunate in having a man of his quality and ability on the staff of your college." Dr. Logan will be head of the department of speech. i'r Dr. Logan Institute Slated The Seventh-day Adventist teachers of the tri-union area served by Union College will gather here for an educational institute lasting from August 28 to September 2. Teachers of the academies and church schools of the Central, Southwestern, and Northern Un- ions have been invited to attend. About 200 teachers are expected to attend. They will spend six days in seminars and other activities. An informative and helpful pro- gram is being planned under the direction of G. R. Fattic, educa- tional secretary of the Central Un- ion. Seminars and studies on both the elementary and secondary lev- els will be conducted. It is hoped that when the teach- ers return to their schools from the institute, they will be better quali- fied to carry on their work as Chris- tian instructors, and that a spirit of closer fellowship will have been en- gendered. SPEECH IS VITAL Seventh-day Adventists have a more vital message for the world today than ever before. Are we prepared to do our part in giving it effectively? In the world's great universities training in speech has assumed a role of great importance. Regardless of the profession to be followed, the ability to sell one's self and one's product, whether that product is a steel bridge or personal services, does much to insure suc- cess. In our own schools no less importance should be placed on personal preparation to make the most of our professional or techni- cal training. Whatever the life plans are, a pleasing voice, clear articu- lation and skill in self-expression are great assets. The speech de- partment at Union College lias been established to aid you in gain- ing these advantages. In addition to the basic course in speech, classes in interpretation, ra- dio, voice and diction, phonetics, and parliamentary procedure will be offered. Those who have voice problems such as poor quality, fault}' articulation, foreign lan- guage difficulties, stuttering, etc., may arrange for special non-credit work in the speech clinic. For teachers or others who wish train- ing in helping people with speech problems, special clinic classes are provided. Students may take either a major or minor in speech. VIRGIL LOGAN REES IS NEW DEAN Mrs. Blanche Jones, dean of women for three years at Union College, has accepted a call to a similar position at Walla Walla Col- lege. Miss Pearl L. Rees, who retired from active service a year ago, has kindly accepted the invitation to fill the vacancy for only this coming school year. Miss Rees needs no introduction to many of the patrons of Union College nor to the educational workers of this denomination, since for a number of years she has occu- pied the position of dean of women in Union and other institutions. She has just completed the edi- torial work on a manual for deans in Seventh-day Adventist school homes, which will be of great bene- fit to all who are engaged in this work. Miss Rees, because of her many years of experience, will be able to give valuable counsel to the young women enrolled in Union this coming school year. She assumed the position Au- gust 12. "A consistent Christian may not have rapture. He has that which is much better than rapture—calmness —God's serene and perpetual pres- ence." —Robertson PREPARATION IS THEME OF M.V. Friday night, July 20, the Mis- sionary Volunteer Society spon- sored a program in the College View Church. June Nicklc, Missionary Volun- teer leader, was in charge. The theme of the program was The New Jerusalem Limited—a train to the New Earth—and the qualifications for boarding that train. The fact that Christians must prepare them- selves for Christ's coming and vigi- lantly maintain that preparation was emphasized. Participating in the program were: Marian Zummach, Gerry Thompson, Howard Birch, Evelyn Hanson, Joyce Zummach, Ruby Birch, Bonnie Syfert, Mr. and Mrs. Pete Roehl, Don Aalborg, and George Reid. Friedrich Joins Music Staff We are happy to welcome Mr. Dean E. Friedrich to the music de- partment of Union College. Mr. Friedrich was born in Mon- tana, but at an early age moved to California. After attending Lodi Academy, he received his B.A. de- gree with a major in music educa- tion from Pacific Union College. While there Mr. Friedrich did part time teaching. During the year 1950-51 he was supervisory teacher of secondary school music. Registration Begins September 11 The fall term at Union College begins September 11 with registra- tion of campus students. Classes begin September 17. Freshman days activities are scheduled for September 11 and 12. General registration will be held September 12 to 14. The annual freshman convoca- tion will be held at 8:00 p.m. on September 11. The general convo- cation will be held Sunday, Septem- ber 16. The college has completed two major remodeling projects. The ad- ministration building has recently been redecorated. A new maple floor has been installed in the audi- torium and acoustic material placed throughout. New construction plans include a men's dormitory. Plans for this building are ready to be presented to the board of trustees. It calls for housing facilities for 240 students. This summer Mr. Friedrich is at- tending Columbia University work- ing on a Master of Arts degree. He is taking private voice work from Mr. Robert Weeds, who for several years sang the leading roles in sev- eral operas presented by the San Francisco Opera Company. Mr. Weeds is also one of the leading singers at die New York Metropoli- tan and the former teacher of a number of the leading vocal artists of today. Mr. Friedrich will be on the campus during the coming school term as instructor in voice. "They that govern most make least noise." —Selden VERANDA PARTY After all the rain that Lincoln has had this summer it was really won- derful to have such a perfect eve- ning Saturday, July 21, for the ve- randa party. Such games as Squirrel in the Tree, relays, and table games were played. One of the games required a strong back. In this game the participants stand in line. A paper bag is inflated and each player breaks it on the back of die person just ahead of him. From all the noise it was easy to tell that lively tramps were in oroaress. To climax the evening, punch and cookies were served. OF NURSING Nineteen seniors will complete their courses this summer and re- ceive their diplomas. No formal graduation ceremony is planned.

One of the young ladies at the dinner was engaged in conversation with another guest when she saw across the room a young lady who was not as beautiful as the other ladies. In a flash of vanity she remarked, "I wonder why she was invited to this dinner? She isn't a bit pretty. I daresay that she is a bore, too. It's just terrible the way some people who have no business here always seem to be invited. Don't you think so?" After a short pause the other girl replied with quivering lip, "No, I don't think it's terrible at all. You see, she's my sister." We may say to ourselves, I would never do such a thing as that, but unless we are careful, we find ourselves treating others just as rudely and cruelly. We have all met people who just seem to have no tact at all. At exactly the wrong time they almost invariably say the wrong thing. Pulling our clook close around us, we pass by and pharisaically say, "I'm glad I'm not like some people I know." That's the time to stop and analyze ourselves. How do we know that we are not like others? Maybe we are after all. Right there we begin to know our- selves. When we have been cruel and inconsiderate, and our conscience begins to prick us, do we use one of the old hackneyed "conscience pacifiers"? Do we go to the person we may have wounded and apolo- gize, or do we procrastinate and eventually forget all about it? Here are a few of the "conscience pacifiers" mentioned above- Determine whether any of these are excuses of yours: He criticized her limp when he saw her cross the campus. Little did he realize that the limp was there from a terrible accident and that she herself was ashamed of it. He did not have the consideration to stop and realize that there was certainly nothing that she could do to improve herself in regard to her limp. She was deeply hurt when she heard the ridicule, but she said nothing. She had learned to suffer criticism and say nothing. When he heard of her true situation, did he apologize? No, he just said, "Well, we're just human. We all make mistakes." Whose reflection do you see in this little story? Is it your friend's? Is it yours? It's true. We are all human, including the sorrow- ing girl, and such wounds heal slowly. Then there's the happy-go-lucky playboy who apparently hasn't a care in the world. He plays a practical joke that is too practical on someone else. It is so practical that it hurts their feelings. When he hears of it, he has one of two reactions. It's either "What's the matter, can't you even take a little joke?" or a coarse laugh and the com- ment, "That sure was a joke on him, wasn't it?" and "Did he care? Of course he didn't care. What do you think he is, a sissy?" This type of thing is all too frequent. You've seen it and I've seen it too, but that doesn't make it right The bitter soul, upon hearing of his offense, says acidly, "Well, it served him right. He deserved it and more. Why I remember when he had the nerve to ask me if he could borrow my lawn mower. Imagine it! He actually wanted to borrow my brand new lawn mower to cut his shaggy old lawn. If his was being sharpened, why didn't he wait until it was fixed and use his own tools? Besides, his lawn probably has nails and wire in it that would nick the blades of my mower. Yes, I know that he's having a hard time financially, but that's not my fault, is it? What's more, he had the audacity to . . ." Do you know people like that? Are you like that? Stop and analyze yourself. Perhaps the very worst attitude that one could manifest is that of conceit and haughtiness. Mrs. Arrogant learns that she has offended Mrs. Humble by her clipped attitude toward her. What does she say? Is she sorry? No, she nonchalantly says, "Oh, that doesn't matter- After all, who is she? She doesn't have social standing, nor is she in our bridge circle, so who is she?" Any other attitude could hardly be farther from the standard set up by the Man of Galilee. Again, let us ask ourselves, "Am I considerate and kind?" At times we do make mistakes. It's true that we are all human, but it takes more then humanity to develop noble character, and it takes noble character to go to someone we have wronged and say, "Will you forgive me?" That is the mark of a real man. He may be a magazine cover "man of distinction," but the capacity to admit mistakes and make restitution as far as possible is the mark cf the real "man of distinction." A realm of service as boundless as infinity is awaiting the true man of distinction. Shall we not strive to reach the standard? Let us be kind, considerate, and helpful to one another. —G.W.R.

Although Union College was the designated spot for the state of Ne- braska, several former students of Union came from other states to take the tests. The examinations were given under the direction of Mr. Straight, professor of psychol- ogy- The evening of July 14 was a season of merriment for the stu- dents and friends who attended parties at the various homes in the community surrounding College View. After the parties, the general opinion was that the participants had enjoyed themselves immensely and were ready for another. The parties were among the last social events of the summer session. The various parties and their partici- pants are here given. Mr. Carter Games, such as "Honest and Up- right Judge," were enjoyed by El- wood Boyd, Mrs. Boyd, Betty Ger- maine, Evelyn Hansen, William Hinger, Myrna Wiltse, and Verdell Wall. The refreshments consisted of ice cream bars, cookies, and punch. Mr. Kleiman Attending the party here were Rea Doss, Warren Murdoch, Mrs. Murdoch, Albert Wick, Donnis Wick, William Hinton, Mrs. Hin- ton, Jack Colvin, Ruth Colvin, Naa- man Robinson, Mrs. Robinson, and Audrey Kleiman Shafer. Mr. Welch Anne Woods, Frank M o o r e, Wayne Smith, Dick Hunt, Willis Christian, Betty and Alice Barker, Joyce Peters, Pat Rushold, Shirley Stock-well, and Bob Hicks did not have much time for playing games because they spent the evening freezing and eating homemade ice cream at the Welch home. It seems that they had more fun eating ice cream than playing games! Mr. Straight Watermelon was the fare of Mar- gie Holm, Ann East, Marcella Rein- er, Wanda Butcher, John Docld, and Wendell Elkins at their part)' in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Straight. Games played were Sorry and Chinese Checkers. Mr. Turner For games, punch, and cookies as well as a fine time, Verna Ewing, Howard Birch, Effie Birch, Wynona Amrhein, George Reid, Billic Lam- bert, Theresa Harrison, Maxine Smith, Ruth Ann Stringer, Ernie Clifton, Jack Harrison, and Domin- go De Leon came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Turner. Several games were played under the di- rection of Mary Lou Chavannes. Miss Shull Marcia Willans, Jeanette Barnett, Genevieve Decker, Margie Brand. Carol Coleman, Aldena Chase, Bet- ty Zuberbier, Luella Carlson, and Betty Larson were the nine girls Miss Shull entertained at a party. They spent the evening at games and eating sherbet with ginger ale and cookies. Miss Willans was in charge of games. Mr. Hare The party down at Mr. and Mrs. Hare's which included Beverly Blost, Avis Jaynes, Novella Mc- William, Genevieve Dickerson, Eu- nice Guplill, Lois McWilliam, Ger- ry Thompson, Sonny Kinder, and Gerald Wiltse enjoyed the evening by playing several games. To cli- max the party they had punch and cookies. Mr. Don Smith Attending this party were the following: Mr. and Mrs. Robert Groome, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Gaf- ner, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Davis, Joan Broughton, and Cleo Swart. Several games were played, including Pick Up, Black Magic, and Dig. Miss Hyatt Wilma Jarvis led the games and other entertainment at the home of Miss Hyatt. Others attending were Ruth Gantz, Ella Mae Tautfest, Ruth Brenneise, Mrs. Bill Riffel, Mrs. Arthur Lutz, Jeanie Lutz, Rosemary Proctor, Aletha Gouchcr, Mrs. Edna Ballard, Mabel Pacheco, Gracc Baldwin, and Mrs. Ray East. Mr. Besel Mr. and Mrs. Besel made pop- corn and punch for Joyce and Mar- ian Zummach, Charlene Deming, Betty and Carolyn Alcorn. Louesa Peters, Theresa Wells, Katherine Randall, Tommy Langware, Eve- lyn Miller, and Grace Robinson while the girls played a number of games. Dr. Ogden Mark Dickinson was in charge of a party which was attended by Helen Tynar, Marilyn Davis, Jo- Ann Davis, Almon Bates, William Carver, Charles Moore, W. Des- sain, and Mcrlene Ogden. They, too, enjoyed the event. Mr. Anderson Jerry Beem, Betty Lair, Johnny Carpenter, Barbara Robinson, Dick Swena, Dorothy Most, Arrah Cur- ry, and Norman Harvey were en- tertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Anderson. Games such as Pit and Sorry were played; refresh- ments consisted of sundaes, fudge, and cookies. Miss Reid Joe Simpson was master of cere- monies at the part given at Miss Reid's home. Attending .were Mr. and Mrs. Joe Simpson, Mr. and Mrs. Carleton Focle, Mr. and Mrs. Don Castonia, Mrs. McRee, and Shirley Burton. Punch was served as refreshment. Mr. DeVice Mr. and Mrs. DeVice entertained Ellen Von Pohle, Shirley Parker, Joan Peters, Ann Hazelton, Vernon Thompson, Barry DeVice, Don Dick, Jerry Neiswonger, Merlin Applications Processed H. C. Hartman, president of Un- > ion College, has announced that the number of applications for the coming school year which have been received and processed ex- * ceeds by more than 200 the number which had been received by this time last year. Mr. Hartman pointed out that, due to the possibility that the appli* • cations might be coming earlier than last year, this does not neces- sarily mean that there will be a total increase of 200 in the enroll- • ment, but that it is an indication of the trend. Union is looking forward with anticipation of a good year to the * beginning of school in September. Freshman week begins Septem- ber 11. Classes will begin Septem- A ber 17. FROM AFRICA'S FOUNTAIN Across the street from the Union College campus is the small sta- tioner's store of B. L. Morse. For a long time Morse's has been'as much I a part of Union College as the tra- ditional rockpile, and the mild, soft-spoken man behind the coun- ters has a wealth of interesting sto- C ries to tell. "I'd rather talk about Africa than anything else," Mr. Morse chuckled. "In a recent National Geographic, * toward the back, is a picture of an African native plastering and thatching his house. That almost , made me homesick," Mr. Morse continued. In May, 1909, Mr. Morse arrived in Kenya, Africa, where he had > been sent from England to do edu- cational work. Within a period of six weeks he found himself assum- ing the responsibility of teaching hundreds of dirt)-, naked heathens, learning the Luwo language, and building a home and furniture for a bride he had not yet met. He successfully established the Gendia Hill Mission School in Ken- ya. Arousing the chiefs of the vil- lages to send the native children to school proved no easy task. The children were unkempt but eager, and learned despite the minimum of equipment. Today, one of these children, David, is an outstanding chief, Daudi Mboya. Daudi Mboya attended the coronation of the King of England as a representative of his people. How Mr. Morse met and married his wife is another complete story. Together these two pioneered for this message when the term Dark Continent meant lack of progress and civilization. "We like to believe ' that mission work in that section is a little easier because of our work." Mr. Morse remarked. If you want to hear fascinating ' stories step into the stationer's shop across the campus. Mr. Morse may be at home for a short time to listen to his favorite commentator; but he insists Mrs. Morse can tell stories too. As he hunts for envelopes a faraway expression comes into his blue eyes and he quotes, "He who drinks at Africa's fountain will re- turn to drink again. If it were the plan I'd certainly like to go back." —Avis JAYNES Rceder, Merlyn Mead, and Loren Dickinson. The group played, among other things, Contact. Ice cream and cake concluded the eve- ning. Dr. Cadwallader Attending the party given here were Ivadell H i 1 s c h e r, Hilda Schneider, Elsie Opp, Alma Kungel, Esther Rittenbach, Shirley Heitz- man, Ruby Wagner, Doris Vietz, Mr. and Mrs. Nordrum, Mr. and Mrs. Pete Roehl, Howard Stanger, Norman Haas, Mrs. Haas, Mabel Flemmer, Shirley Schwartz, Mar- lyn Schwartz, Alice Opp, Herman Opp, Robert Opp, Algene Stern, and Mrs. Stern. CLOCK TOWER, AUGUST, 1951 3 CHURCH IS ASSISTED BY HUB OF HARMONY The year 1939 is a date long to be remembered, for it was in that year that a small Adventist church was being established in Lincoln. This church had as its purpose and goal, from the beginning, to prepare our ministerial interns for the tasks ahead, and to awaken the commu- nity about it to the sound of Ad- ventist youth on the march. >»' In the latter half of 1946, a musi- cal group, assuming the name of '"Hub of Harmony" was formed within the church. It will be well to remember this name, for those twelve young men are the under- lying factors who were most impor- , tant in the growth of the church. Subsequently, from 1946-1949, more students joined our church which was then being held in a small room in the Urban League Building. However, the atmosphere for a religious service was often marred by the presence of ciga- rette butts and banquet decora- tions; therefore, the need for a more spacious and a more reverent build- ing was evident. With these thoughts in mind a ministerial intern, who was also our church pastor, was sent along with the church board to look at a church building which was about to be vacated. A church business meeting was called, during which time it was agreed to purchase the church. Since we were confronted with the problem of raising the $6,000 (the price of sale) within one year's time, we immediately made plans to sponsor a well-known negro tenor, Roland Hayes, in a concert. Having set our goal high, we were not disappointed with our net profit of some $800 from the concert. Determined to purchase the * church, and using the motto: "Find a Way or Make One," the Hub of Harmony rallied to the cause by (f turning over all of the net proceeds from its spring concert to the build- ing fund. Despite our working hard and fast, the one year limit soon ex- pired, and we found ourselves ask- ing for more time. Tire owners kindly extended the time one year. * During this final year, the Hub of Harmony gave several concerts in other places as well as in Lincoln. All of the proceeds were put into ' the building fund. At the same time, a day of sacrifice was ob- served, during which time our 30 young people gathered in more than $300. We were still some distance from our goal, when we decided to make one final attempt to complete our program. Realizing that the Hub of Harmony would discontinue as an organization, due to the graduation > of many of its members, it decided to give its final concert on May 29, 1951, with the purpose in mind of presenting the net proceeds to the building fund. Immediately following the con- cert, the final transactions were made. Our conference matched the first $2,000 dollar for dollar. This is the story of effort, dili- gence, and perseverence which led to success. God is our captain. Perhaps you would like to know the name of that group of young people. Maybe you have guessed it —at any rate, it is the Allon Chapel Youth Church located at 22nd and Q Streets. RAYMOND DAVIS '"Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of." —Franklin Hornung's Hardware Across from Campus 3923 S. 48th Ph. 4-1312 Student Nurse Program "He sent them to preach the king- dom of God, and to heal the sick." The importance of the medical min- istry was presented by several members of our student body, at- tired in white uniforms, on Student Nurse Sabbath, July 21. Joyce Pet- ers directed the song service with Howard Runck as accompanist. Shirley Duren introduced the topic of the program in the opening thought. A mixed quartet, com- posed of Pat Rushold, Joyce Peters, Edgar Browning, and Ralph Wil- liams sang "When I See My Sa- viour," and Lorna Saville offered the opening prayer. The story of Mrs. Lane illustrated how the two ministries go hand in hand in the talk given by Shirley Stockwell. Edgar Browning sang a baritone solo. A skit, "Into All the World," given by Maureen Kiley, Pat Rushold, Sumie Umoto, Harold Feikes, Lorna Saville, and Howard Runck, portrayed the healing of two little children by the medical missionaries. Following the quar- tet's closing number, "Into a Tent Where a Gypsy Boy Lay," Harold Feikes offered the benediction. KAPPA THETA The final meeting of Kappa Theta, July 26, 1951, was called to order by president Avis Jaynes who read Matthew 11:28-30 for scrip- ture reading. Prayer was offered by Mrs. Ewing after which Ann Woods read the secretary's report. The Madame X report was given by Mary Lou Chavannes. Christian courtesy and the proper way of eat- ing lettuce were the topics dis- cussed by Genevieve Dickerson, our cultural secretary. The students of the various floors had charge of the main part of the DUNN IS NEW BUSINESS HEAD Mr. Vernon Dunn has recently been elected by the college board as acting head of the department of business administration to fill Dr. Fowler's vacancy for the coming school year. Mr. Dunn is a gradu- ate of Union in the class of 1942, and holds a master of aits degree from the University of Nebraska in the fields of business administration and economics. He has completed the class work for his doctor's de- gree at the university and has had teaching experience at Union Col- lege and at the University of Ne- braska. He is at present the business manager and treasurer for the col- lege and will continue these duties this coming year. Working with Mr. Dunn will be two or three capable, efficient assistants. program. Third floor representa- tives were Genevieve Decker who gave a reading, and Betty Dore and Esther Richards, who rendered a duet number 111 which Betty played the clarinet and Esther the accor- dion. Margie Iloln, who gave a reading, and Dorothy Burris, Avis Jaynes, and Genevieve Dickerson who sang were representatives of the second floor. The remainder of the program was given by the girls of first floor. Their first number was a trio by Teresa Wells, Raymond Davis, and Mrs. Coleman, singing "Highway to Heaven." Ruth Ann Stringer, Rose- mary Proctor, and Miriam De Laune presented a tonette trio which followed. Mrs. McRee then gave "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" with her rag doll and acces- sories. Ten girls from first floor then rendered a skit of the "Ten Little Indians." BINDERY PURCHASES NEW SEWING MACHINE A new Overstitch sewing ma- chine has been used this summer at the college bookbindery in its work of binding both old and new- books. The new machine, which costs almost $5,000, was installed during the first week of June. When interviewed, Mr. J. A. Mayer, su- perintendent of the bindery, offered this bit of business wisdom. He said, "A1J successful organizations grow, and growth involves the pur- chase of new, modern equipment." This overstitching machine loops threads back and forth across the back of the Dook in sewing the pages together. The resulting prod- uct is a 000k that is stronger, easier to open and to read, easier to man- age the pages, and neater in ap- pearance. Tile pages are attached to themselves and to the other pages in sections of approximately fifty. This gives the book greater strengdi. The machine was purchased from the Overstitch Company of Massa- chusetts, the world's sole manufac- turer of machines of this type. Overstitch sewing machines are used in every civilized country in the world, and the company serv- ices its machines with especially trained specialists. The installation expert who installed the machine at the college bindery has installed others in all the continents of the world. The sewing machine's capacity is approximately 350 books per day. For greater efficiency two or three operators alternate at the machine. Books up to fourteen inches in length and four inches in thickness can be sewed on the model at the Union College bindery. In order to qualify for the rating of Certified Bookbindery, the shop's products must have been sewed with an overstitch type machine for the space of one year. In June, 1952, the college bindery will have met this condition and will be eligible. Mr. Mayer pointed out that all large libraries require that binder- ies doing repair and rebinding work for them be certified.

The basic purpose of the kindergarten is to serve as an integral part of the program of training in child development and kindergarten and nursery school education courses offered at the col- lege level during the school year. Facilities for directed observa- tion, and participation will be avail- able to students of Union College who are interested in the education of young children and hope to make use of that training in their future careers either as teachers of young children or as future homemakers. Opportunity for enrolling in the kindergarten-nursery school courses is available to students of upper division standing and in special cases to students of lower division who have had teaching experience and upon the recommendation of a conference superintendent and Dr. Cadwallader, the head of the edu- cation department.
