Gott, who will be replacing Dr. Fowler as Business Manager, plans to take up his of- ficial duties around the first of August. He conies from Michigan State University v here he has been finishing his course work for his doctoral degree in an area of eco- nomics. Since graduating from Emman- uel Missionary College in 1944 with a ma;or in business, Mr. Gott has had much experience in the man- agement field. His first assignment was at Forrest Lake Academy where, incidentally, he met his wife, who was also teaching at the acadenr . She is the former Rosella Wiedemann. Mrs. Cott, originally from Iowa, graduated from Union College in 1945 and has teaching experience in commercial subjects. From FLA they were called to Southern Missionary College where Mr. Gott served as assistant busi- ness manager. In 1954 a call came for a business manager at Middle East College in Beirut, Lebanon. The Gott family spent six years overseas where Mr. Gott was very successful in managing the col- lege there. Southern Missionary College was again their home after returning from the foreign field. Mr. Gott taught in the business de- partment. He was on leave from SMC to study when Union College called him. The Gott family includes three children, Thomas, 15; Patsy, 13; Jackie, 11. George T. Gott Construction Nears Registration Deadline The new Rees Hall wing and a two-room addition to the Helen Hyatt Elementary School have been major summer construction jobs at Union College. The girls' dorm wing, serving over a hundred girls, will be ready for use this fall. Three guest rooms on first floor small kitchenettes, and lounges are added attractions and conven- iences for the new residents. Two additional rooms plus the enclosement of a play area, have somewhat relieved the crowded conditions of the Helen Hyatt Ele- mentary School. A new kindergar- ten room will be opened for the first time this September. Taught by Mrs. Nylotis Leonhardt, this class is to help prepare the chil- dren for elementary school work and to aid them in their social ad- justment. Other new changes will be a combination fourth anil fifth grade room and a second grade overflow room. In the spring of 1965 the con- struction crew plans to break ground for the science hall addi- tion. Tlv proposed site is west be- tween t!i'; present science hall and the College View Public Library. The third wing of the College View Academy will not be started until it has been voted on by the board.

Psychology Class Visits Beatrice Home For Retarded On Monday, July 27, the stu- dents in the Psychology of Human Growth and Development class visited Beatrice, Nebraska, the 'lome of the State Hospital for the ncntally retarded. Taken first to a lecture room 'ocated in the Education Building, the group saw many examples of crafts clone by the children. Mr. Chollar, the Education Ad- ministrator and Psychologist, ex- plained the operation of ths hos- pital before taking the class on a tour. He also explained th" types of patients that were there and showed pictures of typical cases. On the tour of the build'ngs the students weren't sure what to ex- pect but the atmosphere of the hospital was very cheery. The rooms were clean ancl nice. The girls had stuffed animals on their beds and took great personal pride in their rooms. The hospital is overcrowded with bed patients, and a waiting list numbers from 100-300. There are many especial'. • pa- thetic cases, ancl we look for the day when "wc shall all be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye."

Evange- list Floyd Bresee, head of the de- partment of ministerial training of the college, was joined by four senior ministerial students; Stan- ley Hagen, Dale Jensen, Cloice Lemon, ancl Bob Willis who assist- ed in the three-week series held from June 6 through 27. The course in Evangelism gave practical instruction in the devel- opment of evangelistic sermons and tho art of personal visitation. In- struction in pre-campaign prepara- tions was also given in the two-hour instruction period held each morn- ing. The members of the Greeley Sev- enth-day Adventist Church, pas- tured by Elder Dale Aalborg, gave the members of the evangelistic team a very warm welcome. Mrs. Hay, a church member, moved out of her home into the church school ancl cooked superb meals for the four students. Her vacated home The series of meetings were held under the shelter of the Canvas Cathedral, a three pole tent. The meetings were a means of devel- oping a number of new interests in the Greeley area who heard for the first time the glorious truth of the "Three Angel's Messages." One of the unusual points of interest developing from the meetings was that a number of outstanding men from the community attending the meetings but were unable to bring their wives. Frequently, this situa- tion is reversed. The four students found the field school to be a thrilling new adventure in soul-winning evange- lism. Two of the students, launched out on their own six-week series in Craig, Colorado following the Greeley meetings. Under the guid- ance of the local pastor, Ted Wick, the students are experienc- ing, personally, the thrill of reach- ing into new hearts with the mes- sage of the gospel. \ assisted in teaching Survey of Chemistry.

Sixteen 1964 summer session seniors received their coveted parchments in a formal graduation ceremony held August 5th in the College View Seventh-day Advent- ist Church. Elder L. G. Barker of the Cen- tral Union department of education was the principal speaker. He chal- lenged the class in his address on the responsibilities of the educated. "The higher one climbs," he stated, "the greater is the vision and re- sponsibility in service." Tying in with the class aim, We Came To Learn, We Go To Serve, he re- marked, "the altitude of giving made men great. God gave men to men for the mutual benefit of both and the establishment of His king- dom. The class was presented by Dr. G. L. Caviness, dean of the collegc and Dr. R. W. Fowler, president, conferred the degrees. Lyle M. Jewell, assistant profes- sor of music, provided the special music. He sang Mozart's "Within the Sacred Dwellings". The pro- cessional and recessional were played by Miss Opal Miller of the music department. This is the first formal graduation Union has had for the past few ummers. "The purpose of these formal ceremonies," stated Dr. G. L. Caviness, "is to encourage those people who have not quite com- pleted their college course to come back and improve themselves pro- fessionally." OSBORN TRUST GRANTS AWARD TO EVELYN BASS Evelyn Bass, Union College sophomore was awarded a continu- ing grant from the Stanley R. Os- born Trust.

The maintenance department has been remodeling two classrooms and the accounting office. The power house workers art building a new trash shoot to re- place the worn-out trash inciner- ator. They will also install the new language units in room 409. Janitors are preparing the halls and classrooms in the ad building and in the gym for die fall term. The maintenance department re- modeled the new foreign language laboratory in the ad building by tiling the old wooden floor, panel- ing the walls, and nailing a used blackboard to the east wall. While die language lab was being built, room 204 in the ad building was being changed into a testing room for Dr. L. W. Welch, head of the Union College Testing Service. Wooden cabinets were built and placed in the southwest portion of the room by the door. A file cab- inet was carried from the edu- cation department on fourth floor and placed beside the wooden cab- inets. A wooden desk discarded by the accounting office, was placcd by the testing center door. Tbe third project given to tlie maintenance department to finish this summer was to remodel the ac- counting office on first floor of tbe administration building. The accounting office floor was replaced by new plywood before new white and brown tile was laid. The northeast comer of the ac- counting office was carpeted and paneled for Mr. Meyer's office. The northern room of the ac- counting office was painted orange and yellow while the southern room was painted yellow. The maintenance and power muse workers repaired the flag pole that was bent by a sudden thunderstorm one Friday night last May. The storm started as a strong wind that Friday afternoon. It twisted the flag around the pole so tight that the flag couldn't be let down. The wind, aided by the heavy, water-soaked flag, bent tbe flagpole. Before the storm struck, the pole was 50 ft. high. After the hail, wind antl water ilid their damage, the flag pole was only thirty feet high. The bent twenty feet of pole was sawed off and replaced by a new section of steel twenty-five feet long. The old rope was re- placed with a new longer rope. The old flag was taken down antl replaced with a new flag. Dr. Fowler, Union College presi- dent, Don Smith, maintenance su- pervisor, a n d Floyd Kleiman, powerhouse supervisor, directed this difficult repair job. The powerhouse has the routine duty of winding the clock in the cloektower every Sunday morning. The power plant fires the boilers to provide the campus with hot water. Janitors in the administration building are scrubbing, waxing, and buffing the floors. The gym janitor crew is painting the entrances and steps. Before they scrub the gym floor, they are painting the basketball, volleyball and badminton lines. The dorm janitors cleaned the rooms for die Nebraska camp- meeting, 1964 summer school, and the fall term. Most of the workers in the service departments are enrolled in summer school and earning money for next vcar.

The first of the Intcr-Amcrican colleges to be connected with Union College in this way was Antillian College, then located in Cuba. That was in 1956. The po- litical crisis in Cuba obliged some students to leave Antillian College in Santa Clara, Cuba, during the school year of 1961-61. and the school was then transferred to Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. The odier school, Ccntral Ameri- can Vocational College in Alajuela, Costa Rica, was affiliated in 1960. The greatest advantage of this affiliation is that the certificate granted by a college in the United States is recognized in all Inter- American republics. An interesting example of this benefit is shown in the experience of Claudio and Raquel Hernan- dez, both of whom graduated from Central American Vocation College. Raquel finished the teacher-train- ing course during the first year of this affiliation. After teaching for a year in La Concepcion, Panama, she and her husband went to the San Bias Islands in Panama where they started an elementary school. HatI it not been for the fact that Raquel had a certificate from Union College, the Education de- partment of tbe republic of Pana- ma would not have allowed her to do this. Mrs. Autumn Miller, of Union College, had the opportunity of visiting this school two months after it was started. The progress of the school and its results in terms of soul-winning have been gratify- ing, as is shown in the article the "ulv 2 Review and Herald carried about Hernandez's work in the San Bias Islands. As Union College continues to assist our Inter-Ameri- can colleges they hope to make many such experiences possible. Actually there is on each of these campuses a representative of UC. For Costa Rica it is Miss Marta Argucta, who will be getting her master's degree at the end of the summer in Walla Walla College. While she is away the one who has been in charge of the teacher- training department there is Mrs. Esther Barrios. In a letter Mrs. Barrios wrote a few days ago she says: "Before our teacher-training department was affiliated with Union Collcge we had usually about five students enrolled in the course, but now the enrollment has increased tremendously and we have 18 students." Mrs. Dorita Lessard is the head of the teacher-training department at Antillian College. She has a B. S. from Walla Walla College and a master's degree from Pacific Union College. An annual inspection visit by some member of the administra- tion of UC is scheduled to each of tlieso colleges. The purpose of these visits is to see that the schools are meeting UC's requirements for the teacher-training course. Some of the members of UC staff who havo visited our Inter-American affiliates in the past are Mrs. Au- tumn Miller, Dr. G. L. Caviness, and Dr. C. L. Gemmell. These visit- tors make recommendations for im- proving the course, antl diese rec- ommendations are closely followed. There is an effort being made to expand the affiliation to cover other courscs than the elementary education. Dr. F. G. Drachenberg, president of Antillian College, visit- ed UC in May and talked with President Fowler and Dean Cavi- ness about the possibility of ex- panding this affiliation. An affili- ation committee has been appoint- ed to discover in what ways UC could assist Adventist colleges in Inter-America. Seniors Take Ride On Missouri The summer seniors of 1964 en- joved a boat ride on the Missouri River Monday evening, Julv 27. Six cars furnished transportati >n from Linco'n to Omaha. Tbe trrou •> of 42 consisted of senior class mem- bers, their husbands or wives, and several faculty members, among them Miss Anderson, Mrs. Millar, Miss Hall, Miss Smith, Dr. Welch, Dr. Caviness, and Elder Holbrook. The group ate a picnic supper aboard the "River Belle," an ev- cursion boat on the Missouri River. The twti-hour boat ride was cool and refreshing after the heat in Lincoln. Gootl fellowship and ani- mated conversation were accom- panied by such background music as "You are My Sunshine," "Down By the Old Mill Stream," and many others. A guide called attention to point of interest along the way. Night had fallen as the River Belle made the return trip to Omaha. The Il- linois Central Railroad bridge span- ning the river was silhouetted against the lights of Omaha in the distance. It was a beautiful si<*ht o antl a night to remember. Dormitory Rooms Fill Rapidly After the latest admissions com- mittee closed, a count showed 61 more men accepted than last year antl 48 more women for the dor- mitories. Room assignments are now on a first come first served basis with the first one hundred dollars of tuition required with the implication. If the student is not accepted the money is refunded. Total acceptances are 151 ahead of the same time last summer.

Why did 1 go on the tour to die Eastern Uni- ted States? Some reasons might be: to visit new states, to see new sights, and to learn more history. Now that I am back many have asked, "What did you enjoy most on your tour?" I thought of many things and the following are a few. Just about sunset one evening we came upon John Greenleaf Whit- tier's home in Haverhill, Massa- chusetts. "Snowbound" came to life as I stood in the quaint kitch- en by the fireplace. The Spirit of the Pilgrims was very real as we walked aboard the Mayflower II. The feeling continued as we tra- versed the streets of Plymouth Plantation. Such scenes as Concord Bridge, Lexington green, Old North Church and Independence Hall, where the patriots labored and fought for independence, caused me to be thankful that I am an American. Gettysburg, with its many monu- ments, was a reminder that ours is "one nation, under God, indi- visible, with liberty and justice for all." Tho United Nations building on the East River of New York City was a lesson in international co- operation. The innerworkings be- came more apparent as some of us )i- tened to the Security Council discuss die Cyprus situation. The Statue of Liberty beckoned to us, although with not the same appeal which many others have felt as they first came into the harbor and caught sight of her. The hurry, noise, and busde of the New York Stock Exchange later that day displayed the complexity of busi- ness in this great land of ours. It threatened rain as we walk- eel down the old streets of James- town, Virginia. Close by, Williams- HOW DID UNION GET ITS NAME? Did you ever wonder how Union College received its name? Its name comes from the way in which sup- port was obtained for its begin- ning. In the school year 1888-89 there were two small Adventist colleges in the midwest, one in Ottawa, Kansas, and the other in Minneapo- lis, Minnesota. Professor W. W. Prescott, then educational secretary of the General Conference, coun- seled with other conference and educational leaders "to consider the matter of a union of effort in these conferences in tlie establishment of a school centrally located." The idea diey presented to the General Conference was the form- ing into a single union all of the conferences west of Mississippi and east of the Rockies to support a central school. Mrs. E. G. White counseled that it would be better to have one school than to have two or three at that time. On July 12, 1889, the General Conference Committee passed a resolution which reads in part: "Recommend that the conferences in Iowa, Minnesota, Dakota, Kan- sas, Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri, Texas, and Arkansas unite together and establish a school in some convenient location." This plan gave Union College not only the support it needed to start, but also its name, as the school was built through a union of effort of the supporting confer- ences. burg, with its restored homes, help- ed us to get even more of the feel of 18th Century Colonial America. What a legacy those people left for .is, our freedoms and our govern- ment. What else impressed me? St nd- ing in the great rotunda of our nation's Capitol and later at Presi- dent Kennedy's grave, watch in" the changing of the Guard at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, viewing Lincoln's Memorial, tour- ing Mount Vernon, all these ancl more made me thankful for this heritage of ours and stirred the patriotic pride within me. We tra- versed hills, plains, farmland, ancl cities with their many industries. All these things, as in a kaleido- scope of color, make our great United States. These are the things I remember.

Union Gains Gane To Teach Religion Mr. Gane, who's he? Not much is known about him, but the stu- dents of Union College will be see- ing a lot of him this fall. Mr. & Mrs. Erwin R. Gane and their two sons, Roy, nine, ancl Calvin, seven, are coining to Union from An- drews University, where he has re- ceived his Masters in theology.

Aliens Leave Union Head for Philippines The last book was packcd, the last test was given, ancl the last- light was turned out. On Thursday evening, July 23, Doctor Sidney Allen ancl his family quietly left Union College. After seven years in the Union College Religion De- partment, Doctor Allen has accept- ed a call from Philippine Union College to become a Bible teach- er in die Department of Philosophy ancl Religion. At the present, the Aliens are at Princeton University in Prince- ton, New Jersey. There Doctor Allen will spend seven weeks in an intensive language study. Upon completion of the language courses, the Allen family will go to San Francisco to board their plane for the Philippines and five years of service in fields afar. What do the various members of the family think of this new ad- venture? The four children, Earl 12, Eddie 10, Eric 9, ancl Esdier, 2 are anticipating the enjoy- ment that they will have in a land abundant in exotic flowers, birds, trees, ancl butterflies. Doctor ancl Mrs. Allen are looking forward to the great challenge which the Philippines present. In parting, Doctor Allen said that they have enjoyed their years hero at Union. "We like to con- sider ourselves part of the world- wide Union College family," he concluded. Wo who remain would like to wish the Allen family much suc- cess and God's richest blessings. Mrs. Gunderson, reading activity. an expcricnccd classroom teachcr, leads in this Summer Graduate Gunderson Honored Gains High Distinction Achievement Wiener's Texaco Tires, Batteries, Accessories, Complete Service 48th & Calvert 488-9990 Teaching, a profession which is regarded highly by everyone these days, is a good word to describe the life of Mrs. Margaret Gunder- son. A senior at Union College this summer, Mrs. Gunderson has spent fifteen summers working toward her degree. Her first summer was spent at Wisconsin State College and the next two at Emmanuel Missionary College. In 1953 she came to Union and has attended consecutively for the past twelve summers. During her years of study, she lias taken only eight hours of correspondence work. This was clone because the courses needed were not then of- fered during the summer. During the summer of 1960 Mrs. Gunder- son joined the history tour in Europe, receiving six hours of credit. Mrs. Gunderson is to be highly commended for her excellent scho- lastic achievement. At the end of earned a grade-point average giv- ing her the honor of graduating w'th "High Distinction." The remaining nine months of cach year keep Mrs. Gunderson busy as teacher, a slightly different life than summer has to offer. Fif- teen out of her twenty-three years of teaching have been spent in church schools. Wichita, Kansas, has had the privilege of her teach- ing for eleven years, and she will continue there this coming school year. Grades one and two are the ones now taught by her; however, she has taught the upper grades, as well as all eight at once. Seventeen has been her smallest student en- rollment at one time and thirty- eight, her largest. Last year Mrs. Margaret Gunder- son was named the Central Union Teacher of the Year. In her own words, Mrs. Gunderson explains her dedication to us: "Teaching has been my life; I wouldn't change the summer session, she will have it for anything in the world!" Frustrated Senior Pleas for Trade Schoo I am a senior in the academy. I like school and enjoy the associa- tion of Christian young people. I realize that I am approaching the ago when I will nec»d to make im- portant decisions. I know that the three most important decisions in niy life arc: choosing Christ as a personal Saviour, choosing mv life's work, and choosing a com- panion for life. School is not easy for me. I tudy hard, but don't seem to achieve a high scholastic standing in ill)' class. I think college would be very difficult for me. My par- ents and teachers are always stres- sing the importance of continuing my education at a Christian school. Everyone asks nic what I am going to be when I finish school. I like math ancl am good with my hands, so I tell everyone that I am going to be an architectural engineer. This makes my parents and teach- ers very proud.

I guess I am a little more realistic than my parents and teachers. I would really like to be a body and fender repairman. I think an honest body ancl fender man could have a good influence on a com- munity. 1 like to work with cars, t think I would be a happy Adven- tist layman as a repairman. I wish our denomination had a trade school. I would like to stav around Adventist young people be- cause one of these years I am going to look for a wife. In my home church, the only girl there my age- is my cousin. 1 was hoping Madison College in Tennessee would become a trade school, but I guess it is going to be- closed clown. I don't think the task of supporting a trade school • liould be left lo any specific Un- ion. The- General Conference should put the burden on their shoulders. I know our denomination needs ministers, teachers, and doctors, hut I think it needs custodians, maintenance men, electricians, me- chanics ancl body repairmen. If you know any General Con- ference men, would you tell them that something needs to be clone for Adventist young people like myself. We have an outstanding educational system in our denomi- nation, but it has a large gap in it, and through this gap many young people are falling. Oswald Parallels Booth Fact i.s often stranger than fic- tion. There is something almost un- canny about these facts which have been found on related circum- stances in the lives ancl assassina- tions of Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy. Most people are aware that both presidents were concerned with the issue of civil rights and that they •verc elected just one hundred years apart. Here are some less fre- quently mentioned coincidences: Both were slain on Friday ancl in the presence of their wives. Both were shot from behind, and in. the head. Their successors, both named Johnson, were southern Democrats, and both were in the Senate. Andrew Johnson was born in 1808 and Lyndon Johnson was born in 1908. John Wilkes Booth was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald was born in 1939. Booth ancl Oswald were South- erners favoring unpopular ideas. Booth ancl Oswald were both as- sassinated before going to trial. Both Presidents' wives lost chil- dren through death while in the White House. Lincoln's secretary, whose name was Kennedy, advised him not to go to the theater. Kennedy's secretary, whose name was Lincoln, advised him not to go to Dallas. John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln in a theater and ran to a warehouse. Oswald shot Kennedy from a warehouse ancl ran to a theater. The names, Lincoln and Ken- nedy, each contain seven letters. The names, Andrew Johnson and Lyndon Johnson, each contain 13 letters. The names, John Wilkes Booth ancl Lee Harvey Oswald, each con- tiin 15 letters. Lincoln Evening Journal—1964 Thirty Delegates Attend Evangelism Congress About thirty delegates from Union College, College View Acad- emy, ancl the College View Sev- enth-day Adventist Church will at- tend the United Evangelism Con- gress to be held in Kansas City- August 11-15. "Approximately a thousand delegates will be present including the working staff of ministers ancl advisors," stated El- der Paul De Booy, Missionary Vol- unteer Secretary for the Central Union. "Our main objective is to give training to laymen ancl youth in the United Effort of Evange- lism." Mr. Emilio Knechde, head of the Seventh-day Adventist Laymen For Christ organization, is one of the main attractions for delegates to the Kansas City United Evan- gelism Congress. One-time chair- man of the New York World's Fair 1'iotestant display, Mr. Knechtle will tell his story of conversion ancl explain his work as a laymen. Other important guests include Elder E. E. Cleveland, Associate Secretary of the Ministerial De- partment of the General Confer- ence, and Elder II. M. S. Richards, speaker for the Voice of Prophecy radio broadcast. Elders L. M. Nelson, J. E. Lucas, John Hancock, all youth leaders from the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, will con- duet workshops ancl special lec- tures. The Home Missionary De- partment will send such delegates as Elders J. E. Edwards, Aellai Esteb, and Carl Gucnther. Sunny Liu from Greater New York is in charge of the music for this convention with help from Elder John Hancock and his famed accordian. Special music will be directed by Mr. Lyle Jewell, pro- fessor of music at Union College. Tho Gospel Singers from Boulder, Colorado, are a special attraction for delegates and guests.

Prospective Enrollment Still Climbing According to the r e g i s t r a r's office, the following is a compari- son of the number of acceptances for the 1963-1964 and 1964-1965 school years. This information is complete as of July 28, 1964 as compared lo July 30, lr63. "Success to you," "Lots of success," "Success in the fu- ture." These are the sentiments that permeate every signed school annual. These are the sentiments which pervade the thoughts of friends who are interested in one another. This wish implies the ultimate in everything to the recipient. Success, however, is no: a gift. Success comes after trying, trying many times, perhaps. Success comes by a com- bination of the human and the divine working in man. All intelligent people know that success is relative. No one can really measure another's success, for success may be measured in many ways. The year-old baby who takes his first step has success; however, the same baby years later as an adult may lose in a four-minute-mile race. And for some, perhaps a bit of failure is, in reality, success. In the Chris- tian's life this may well be true, for failures teach us many things. But what is it about m?n tha'- other men may 'ook and say, "He's a success."? Ralph Waldo Emerson ha.> set forth the criteria most aptly. "To laugh often and love much, to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; lo earn the approbation of honest crit'cs and endure the b trayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one's self; to leave ihe world a bit better, whether by ;. healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social ccn- diuon; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and s ing with exultation; to know ev'en one life has breathed easier because you have lived—this is to have succeeded." In this day and age with the emphasis on materialism, what the world wants and needs is less of selfishness, a deep desire to serve mankind— not to be served, and a faith in fellow human beings thai runs deep past all petty qjarrels and misunderstandings. This is success. Thirty Years Ago The August, 1934, issue of CLOCK TOWER illustrates one major thing. Union has not changed much over the years. Let's lake a look at that o'd school paper and see what was happening. Thirty years ago this month J. F. Piper, board chairman, pointed to the future wit l confidence in a front page article. IL- old of the relative financial success of Union in a time when crop shortage and low farm prices made it wry diffi- cult for Midwesterners to secure an education Piper also said there would be eight Ph.D.'s on the facuLv for the •34 35 school year. This number has almost tripled. According to another article, a plan had been worked out so that much of the student's expenses coukl be taken care of by work on campus. As little as $275 plus 10 hours per week was all that was needed for a year's expenses. President Andreasen no'ed that industries were making r. Iii'L- money which was, he thought, "remarkable in times i ke these." The editorial with just one minor change in wording would fit perfectly today. It was entitled "Flivvers vs. Edu- cation!" On page 3 was an article by Dr. E. N. Dick concerning summer school and the Youth's Congress following. Both G. C. Jorgensen and Carl Engel were leaching during the summer of "34. They, of course, were honored later by having buildings named after them. Here is another article which would fit just as easily in the 1964 CLOCK TOWER. "New Touches Beautify North Hall." The worship room, among other things, was redecorated, with new curtains being added. "The college press is running day and night. A new proof press and linotype have been added to take care of the large amount of work that is coming in." That linolype machine is still being used this summer to set this CLOCK TOWER.

You say it is impossible, but wait a minute, is it? To seventy members of the Golden Chords Chorale it wasn't. What's it all about? Read further for the story. This event may be a "first" for Union College, because it isn't every day you hear seventy stu- dents say "We'll give our choir dues for tuning forks for people in Africa." Lyle Jewell, director of the Golden Chords Chorale, received a letter from Pastor Warren P.. Zork, a friend of his who is an edu- cational secretary in Southern Rho- desia, Africa, also a 1951 graduate of Union College. His request was, "We have a little need here in the education department of our Union which I think might capture your imagination. As education secretary in the Zambesi Union I am re- sponsible for tlie standard of work taught in 100 elementary schools by nearly 400 teachers (African). For years the elementary curricu- lum has required that thev be t ;ught music by use of the tonic "sol-fa" system only. However, the government has now introduced a r.cw syllabus requiring the teach- ng of staff notation. The voung teachers coming out of our training schools are pretty well up on this method of teaching. However, in most of our bush schools we have no pianos at all and few other music a', instruments. I feel it es- sential that our better teachers be supplied with tuning forks not onlv in. order to pitch songs properly, hut to establish the concept of kev relationships to a fixed standard. As to quantity a dozen or so would provide a start for us, but we could make good use of as many as 100. This is just a stab in the dark, I .'he!' be happy to hear from you." After this part of the letter was read, the members of the Chorale thought they could do no less than help, to the best of their ability at that time, and so it started. Members of the Chorale said, "we'll be willing to give our dues t:> bring better methods of teaching music to die African youth." And notice, Pastor Zork's need was "little", with 400 teachers and he asked for only a dozen luning forks. Dues started coming in, letters went out to various music supply companies, and one day the right letter came. It said, "We shall be very happy to send the No. 61 tun- ing forks to you in whatever quan- tities you need." Happy to hear this, Larry Karpenko, treasurer of tho Chorale, urged die members to bring in their dues immediately. Soon thirty middle C tone tuning forks were ordered and sent to Pas- tor Zork by seventy fun loving young people who didn't forget tlie slogan "Union never forget* her own." Ned Saunders Steers Building Projects "You may get some rhubtrb on the job, but when it is completed, the satisfaction outweighs all dif- fi ordinary person, but I've alwa tried to return tlie Lord's 10 per cent of the work I receive and. I feel the Lord, because of this, has brought jobs to my doorstep, including this construction work for Union, when other contractors cou'd have done my job." Hazardous Mystery Eventually Revealed Union College has one major hazard on campus. It is a hazard to every student and faculty mem- ber, all visitors, even cats and dogs, but not birds. Everywhere on campus people • uffcr anxxty and consternation and vet no one voices a complaint for the removal of this hazard. Everyone develops a hidden com- lex about this hazard and this can develop into serious phobia. We pitv people who have this phobia. And yet we are all candidates for this mental illness and we know it. For this ha-ard " all see it. And it sits perfectly still, gleaming smugly in the sunshine, and prc- t"nds not to notice us at all. But ju t let us turn our backs and in a flash its nature changes com- pletely. Without a warning it jumps into action. Like a snirer it shoots out at us with a measured aim. A doublecrosser. It rises uoon us unseen and quietly, stealthily plots for us until we walk right into its range. Gathering momentum it darts through the air and then swoops down on its target—us. With a triumphant dish it tackles us—always from behind— and splat- ters itself viciously on our backs with a sharp crack. Then it basks off for another attack and another and another. There IS no defense. You are caught. Your only hope is to scream for help and run before it razes you again. Fortunately the foe is onlv active during certain seasons. But actu- ally this is but another of its sly tactics for it leaves us as unwary victims when unannounced it be- gins swinging around its old haunts. Cirls are more susceptible to its venum than men usually. Perhaps it's because they are more trusting and wear lightweight dres- ses and soft hair-dos. At least, tlie cunning foe seems to delight more in their fnistration and disaster. At times some campus inhabi- tants turn traitor and sell it to the enemy which makes the situation •.yen more lethal. You can see what a cruel pre- • '.icament we are in. This hateful hazard spoils many a day—for once we have been trapped there is no escape from the damages and in- juries. Yes, it's a hazard to students and faculty, all visitors, even cats and dogs but a water-sprinkler doesn't bother birds. Switchboard Duties Vary for Operators The duties of the girls working in the Switchboard and Mimeo- graph Office of Union College in- clude more thin saving, "Good morning, Union College," while they connec t you to the desired ex- tension. Mrs. Ann Schlisner, head of the department, says that work varies from the t- ning of tests to mimeo- graphing the monthly financial statements. While much of their work com"s from departments of the college, they do type for people in the community. Sororities and fraternities throughout the city hire this office to t ">e out programs, yearbooks and letters for their clubs. Some of th" other peculiar tasks they perform is t' ping specification •heets for verious architects in the eitv and making photostatic copies of documents, papers and other materials. One of the services thev per- form is to be a general informa- t;on center to visitors who enter the admini: tration building; another is being of aid to students who de- sire to make calls from the college. They also place any long distance calls which faculty members wish to make. The switchboard operators are giving many services to the stu- dents and faculty for which they are seldom recognized but for which all would be amiss without them. America's Choice: Which Candidate Is Least Objectionable! Many of us are Hearing the age at which we can express our poli- tical preferences on a ballot. Some of us have waited anxiously to add our own vote to the national total. Each of us should be thankful for free elections. Driving or walk- ing to the polls on November 31, 1964, will require only a small amount of effort, and marking the ballot will require even less phys- ical strain. Between now and No- vember is where the actual effort must be put forth on our part. We must decide to mark an X beside the name of Barry Goldwater or Lyndon Johnson. This political neophyte is con- fused! "I have never advocated tlie use of nuclear weapons anywhere in the world" were the words spoken a few weeks ago by the newly-chosen leader of the Re- publican party, yet the same lips a few months and years ago have insisted on the u :e of nuclear weap- ons to save Vietnam and Berlin." In his book, The Conscience of a Conservative, Senator Goldwater says, "I am not impressed by the claim that the supreme court's de- cision on school integration is the law of the land." Last week he in- sisted that the supreme court alone was the competent judge of the constitutionality of civil-rights laws. The GOP convention delegates wildly applauded the statement, "Extremism in the defense of lib- erty is no vice," and they refused to denounce extremist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the John Birch Society. These same dele- gates, however, in their platform denounced all "Federal extremist*." These same delegates who were meeting lo defend liberty in Ameri- ca did not grant freedom to the governor of New York on the con- vention floor, but instead they smothered his words with their rude shouting. If Lyndon Johnson is, as Barry C-o'd water says, "the biggest fake in the country" it is because he is a few inches taller and a few- pounds heavier than Barry Gold- water. However, the Republican party's political actions do not have a monopoly on contributing to this beginner's confusion. On manv Sunday mornings Lyndon Johnson attends a church that contrasts sharply with the church that sup- posedly has his membership. What abeut the President's friend, Bobby Baker? Why does the press seem to go along with President Johnson's desire to forget about Bobby Baker? It is a matter of record that LBJ's spoken opinions on the civil- rights issue are greatly modified in comparison to what they were when he was a Senator from Texas. It is apparent that neither of the presidential candidates is perfect. Let us take a look at ourselves. Have we ever altered or com- pletely changed our opinion when we discovered that it was unpopu- lar? Are all our friends perfect citizens? Do we ever say things we don't mean? How many of us have the cour- age to nubliclv express and defend our beliefs? Barry Goldwater and Lvndon Johnson will express their views to 200 million Americans in- cluding critical newspaper people and intellectuals from around the globe. We should be thankful that our country has men who are willing lo lead instead of follow. We should not expect qualities ill our leaders that we can not find in the people they are chosen to lead. America's political scheme is con- fusing Ivcause this is a highly com- plex nation. Many changes and improvements are needed. Our country is far from perfect. We don't need leaders to change America. We need Americans who will change their leaders.
