Spiritual Emphasis W< Vol. XXXI CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN SOON ON PAYING PROJECT A major item of interest these days on the UC campus is the road building project. It is hoped that the actual construction of the road will be underway with- in the next two weeks, according to Mr. V. S. Dunn, business man- ager. The road, upon completion, will be approximately 750 feet in length and 66 feet wide. Along either side of the road will be a concrete curbing. The road bed will be filled with crushed rock which will be used as a base. Covering the rock will be a coat- ing of asphalt and oil. The seven hundred and fifty feet of paving will extend from the south end of the campus at the present entrance to a position which is near the north edge of the college laundry. The sixty-six feet of width will provide ample parking space for the autos of students, staff, and visitors on the campus. The park- ing of cars will be of an angle nature. The parking stalls will be permanently painted on the surface of the paving. To facilitate construction it is necessary to move telephone and light poles and fire hydrants. This work is in progress at the present time by the respective companies—telephone, light and water. Missions Promotion returns to- taled $3,077.49 at the close of the annual UC Field day. The goal, which is $3500, will be surpassed after the Omaha phase of the so- licitation program, according to Dr. R. E. Cleveland, chairman of the Missions Promotion coordi- nating committee. After a short devotional pe- riod, seventy-five bands, includ- ing nine Academy bands, found maps and cars and departed for \ full day's work on October 16. At the close of the day all the participants in the day's program met in the college auditorium. Elder C. R. French, Home Mis- sionary secretary of the Ne- braska conference, and President D. J. Bieber commended stu- dents and faculty on the success of the day. Each band leader then reported the total amount received for his car. The high car was led by Mar- shall Chase with Dr. E. B. Og- At Convention Banquet Three teachers were honored for twenty-five years of teaching at the elementary teacher's ban- quet held at Union College Thursday evening, October 10. Miss Maude Reid, Mrs. Autumn Miller, of Lincoln, and Mrs. Leonard Wood of Wichita, Kan- sas, were each given twenty-five silver dollars, a dollar for each year of teaching. Elder Theodore Carcich, Cen- tral Union president, spoke on the subject, "Teachers' part in winning souls to the Kingdom of Heaven" during the banquet pro- gram. Elder L. R. Rasmussen, As- sociate Secretary of the General Conference Department of Edu- cation, attended the convention and spoke to the 155 teachers of the Central Union. The convention which began Wednesday evening, October 9, was a workshop with the topics of study being health and pen- manship. For the Sabbath serv- ices the teachers conducted their own Sabbath School, and were addressed at the 11 o'clock serv- ice by Elder Rasmussen. den, Miss Marie Anderson, La- Vona Gordon, Mary Alice Fire- stone, Jane Ruffing, and John Baugous in the band. The group solicited $137.50 in Schuyler, Ne- braska. The second highest car, led by Robert Beck, brought in $91.35. The Academy bands re- ported $137.22 as their share. Those whose work program did not allow them to solicit also had a chance to participate. From work and donations the men of South Hall contributed $485.00, the ladies of North Hall, $153.00, and the staff, $277.00. After the totals were tabu- lated, Ned Swaeby, Union's pro- fessional auctioneer, sold the pro- duce and other items, ranging from kittens to baby shoes, that had been donated during the day. The sale netted a total of $67.00. This year's Missions Pro- motion Day's results surpass last year's by almost $1500. Sam Campbell Scheduled For Return Engagement Sam Campbell, "philosopher of the forest," will appear in a re- turn engagement at Union this year. Saturday evening Novem- ber 2, he will narrate his picture "North Country, Land of the Voyager." Sponsored by the Academy Home and School Association, Mr. Campbell also film-lectured here last year. "We plan to make this an annual event," says As- s o c i a t i o n leader Mrs. D. S. Rausten. Mr. Campbell's wife "Giny," who was unable to be here las^ year, will accompany him. The program starts at 8:15 in the college auditorium. Tickets are to be on sale in the dormi- tories, the church office, and the Nebraska Book and Bible House. Admission is $1.00 for adults, 50c for students, and children who sit with their parents will be admitted free. The proceeds will be used for academy student scholarships and academy improvement. NURSING CLUB PLANS PORTER SAN VISIT Thirty-five future nurses of America will leave Union Col- lege October 31 for Porter Sani- tarium, Denver, Colorado. The group will be comprised of fresh- men, who will take up residence at Porter in August, 1958, and sophomores, who will take up residence at Porter in February. Mr. and Mrs. Dick Roderick will accompany the group. After Fri- day and Sabbath at Porter, the nursing students will return to Lincoln Sunday. The Nursing Club will help finance this trip as well as other projects and missionary activities through the sale of Christmas cards. These Christmas cards can be purchased now from any Nursing Club member. The officers of the Nursing Club are: president, Pat Peter- son; vice president, Roxy Schlatter; secretary, Marilyn Hutchinson; treasurer, Betty Bentzinger; reporter, Jean Mouw. The annual capping cere- monies this year will take place on January 24, 1958, and May 16, 1958. Over 800 Enrolled In CME Schools Over 800 students are enrolled this fall in eight schools for the 1957-58 academic year at the Col- lege of Medical Evangelists. The following students, graduates of Union College, are among the 97 freshmen students enrolled in the School of Medicine: Carl Bauer, Donald Christian, Ronald Cornelson, Kenneth Dedeker, David Johnson, Stanley Murphy, Roger Plata, Philip Reiswig, James Siebenlist, Carlos Swan- son, Donald Vixie, Gaylord Wheeler, and Leslie Youngs. This school has the largest enrollment of the CME schools, with a total of 377 students. In the School of Dentistry are 196 students; School of Nursing, 153; School of Medical Technol- ogy, 5; School of Physical Ther- apy, 25; School of X-ray Tech- nology, 7; School of Dietetics, 11; and the School of Graduate Studies, 38. Former students from Union College included among the 58 dental freshmen are Lloyd John- son and William Soper. Alice Smith Attends FCDA National Council Meeting Miss Alice Smith, director of the Nursing department of Union College, attended a three- day meeting of the National Ad- visory Council for Civil Defense in Washington, D. C. The meet- ing convened October 21-23 in the Executive building of the Federal government. Since Union College is the only college in the United States that carries on a program of Civil De- fense preparation, Miss Smith was invited to present the topic "Disaster Preparedness at Union College." Miss Smith was appointed nurse consultant for the Federal Civil Defense Administration last year at Battle Creek, Michi- gan. MADAGASCAR BENEFIT TO BE SUNDAY NIGHT A potluck supper next Sunday in the college auditorium will aid in building a new school in Madagascar. Sponsored by the College View Missionary Volun- teer Society, the supper will be- gin at 5:30 p.m. and continue until 7:00. The supper is part of a project in which M.V. societies all over the world are participating to raise $26,000 for a new school on (Continued on page 2) Elder Robert M. Whitsett of Minneapolis, Minnesota, climaxes a week of spiritual emphasis on the Union College campus to- morrow as more than one thou- sand meet in the college audi- torium to celebrate the Lord's supper. For the second time in five years, Elder Whitsett, the evan- gelist for the Northern Union, was called to conduct the Week of Prayer for Union College. Evangelist Whitsett has held weeks of prayer in most of the Adventist colleges in North America. The special week featured morning services during the reg- ular chapel period and evening meetings when members of the community augmented the at- tendance. The morning services were followed by voluntary prayer groups of students and faculty which met in various parts of the church. Elder Whitsett followed the theme, "Standing For God," as he urged the students to meet the challenge of "time's last hour." The theme song of the week, "Rise Up, O Youth of God," gave the setting for the meetings. Topics for the services in- cluded "One Thing Thou Lack- est," "Prayer is Power," "Trans- forming Touch," "Joy in Christ," "Now the Accepted T i m e," "Pathway of the Prodigal," "On Trial for Your Life," "Levels of Living," "Making Him Master," "Remember," "The Final Tri- umph," and "Are Ye Clean?" A highlight of the week was the individual public expressions of personal experience on the part of the students. These testi- monies became a part of the reg- ular meetings throughout most of the week. Elder Whitsett is a former stu- dent of Union College. He has done pastoral work, served in the Ministerial Association of the General Conference, and for the past three years has been in evangelistic work in the North- ern Union. A daughter, Ann, and son, Bob, are in their second year of attendance at Union College. COMING EVENTS Fridoy, October 25 9:30 o. m. Week of Prayer service, Elder R. M. Whitsett 5:30 p. m.

CLOCK TOWER, OCTOBER 25, 1957 htterA foata tlcrth Hall by Sally Saturley This column would like to poy tribute to the Friday letter. This one-page sheet is delivered to each room in North hall every Friday. One may find in it everything from personality sketches to poems and short mottoes. All in all, it's an inspirational and interesting little letter, thanks to the editors, LaVerna Rippel and Esther Curtis. Monday night is the night that we in North hall are favored with a guest speaker for worship. On the seventh of this month, Miss Peorl L. Rees, dean of women here at Union for many years, and for whom the new dormitory is being named, spoke to us. Then on the 14th, Elder Leif Kr. Tobiassen brought to us his views on Evangelist Billy Graham. Under the auspices of the Kappa Theta officers, a surprise birthday party was held for Dean Hilda Fern Remley. Marjorie Britt and Sharon Huso provided the special music. A tribute to Miss Rem- ley was written by Nancy McPhail and read by Gail Emde. A large cake, beautifully decorated in autumn colors of yellow and brown with 16 candles on it, was presented the dean. The girls also presented a towel set as a birthday gift. Friday afternoon an orchid corsage was sent to Miss Remley for the weekend. Small pieces of cake were served to the rest of the girls. All in all, it was a happy occasion. We of North hall are enjoying this Week of Spiritual Emphasis. The meetings are inspirational to all of us. Union College Nursing Students Conduct Americun RC Clusses Courtesy Denver Chapter of American Red Cross Pictured above is Betty Campbell, student nurse on the Denver campus, teaching a lesson on how to wash the hands to limit the spread of communicable diseases. Her students are members of a class in CARE OF THE SICK AND INJURED, taught by Seventh-day Adventist student nurses for the Denver Chapter of the American Red C ross. There is a great demand for these courses because of the prevalence of Asian influenza. Twelve of the student nurses at Porter San are conducting classes to supply this demand. Miracle in broadcloth!

College Qualification Test Restricted to Annual Date Lincoln, Nebr: The Selective Service College Qualification Test, normally given at the principal colleges in Nebraska once each semester for the purpose of permitting col- lege students to qualify for draft deferment, will be offered only once during the academic year 1957-1958, according to Francis S. Drath, Deputy State Director of Selective Service for Ne- braska. This test will be offered on or about May 1, 1958. College students interested should watch news media for information. Due to budgetary limitations and the reduced demand on the Selective Service System for in- ductees into the Armed Forces, it has been necessary to restrict testing to one test during the current academic year. Hereto- fore, a test date has been set in the fall and another in the spring, and normally a third make-up test is offered for any person having legitimate excuse for missing the earlier tests. This academic year only the one test will be offered, and there will be no cleanup test given. The College Qualification Test is used by local draft boards in determining eligibility of a col- lege student for deferment to continue his college work. A score of 79 or more on this test may be considered basis for de- ferment to enter graduate studies. College deferments are also granted on the basis of class standing. Another factor which has en- tered into the reduction in the number of students taking the College Qualification Test is the fact that for the last two years no one has been inducted invol- untarily who had not attained the age of 22 at time of induc- tion. Many college students have completed their work by the time they attain the age of 22. Under Selective Service Regulations any college student who is satis- factorily pursuing a full-time course at the time he is first ordered for induction is entitled to deferment throughout the academic year in which he is then engaged. As a result, men who become 22 during their last year of college are entitled to finish out the academic year whether or not they have taken a College Qualification Test.

Religion Educator Addresses Teachers Professor Leif Kr. Tobiassen, Union College professor of re- ligion, addressed the Central Union teachers' convention in Lincoln, Nebraska, Thursday, October 10, on "Christ in the Classroom." He emphasized that the Adventist teacher must take his stand squarely beside Jesus Christ in the classroom, uphold- ing unyieldingly the Adventist way of life and its ideals and practices, in spite of the sinking level of morals in our time. Osteopathic Association to Award Scholarships Seven osteopathic college scholarships of $1,000 each will be awarded by the Auxiliary to the American Osteopathic As- sociation for the entering classes in the fall of 1958, it has been announced. Osteopathic scholarship appli- cants for the entering classes of 1958 must have an acceptance or a tentative acceptance from any one of the six approved osteopathic colleges, all of which require a minimum of three years of pre-professional work. The scholarships will be awarded on the basis of financial need, good scholarship, strong motivation toward the osteo- pathic school of medicine and outstanding personality traits. Information about the osteo- pathic colleges, scholarships and application forms will be sent up- on request by the Scholarship Chairman, Auxiliary to the American Osteopathic Associa- tion, 212 E. Ohio Street, Chicago 11, Illinois. Applications for the national osteopathic college scholarships must be completed and sent to the scholarship chairman prior to May 1, 1958. Winners will be announced after May 15. ATS Membership Drive by Jim Maxwell At 6:45 a.m. October 14 a round white and red object was seen on top of the men's dormitory at Union College. The object was enlettered in red with the words, "Join the ATS." Also on the cam- pus were men with cardboard backs enletterd with similar com- mands. What is the purpose of the ATS on the campus of a Christian college? We do not use alcohol or drugs or any type of tobacco. The purpose of the ATS is to make people conscious of the situation the world is in today regarding narcotics, alcohol and tobacco, and to strive to make individuals who are users con- scious of the life-destroying ob- jects they are putting into their bodies. Another purpose of the organ- ization is to visit high schools where the problem arises, Is smoking and drinking a social "must"? To bring programs of force and interest to these young people on whom the use of nar- cotics might make an unbreak- able chain, and to show these young people the facts about dope, alcohol and tobacco are also purposes of the society. An annual oratorical, poster, essay and jingle contest is an- other of the ATS features of the year.

The other day a student called the music department and was astonished to hear an organ, a piano, a violin, a record player, and a drum, each playing a dif- ferent melody. It is all these things which make harmony (?) in Engel hall. A little more than a year ago, Mr. Rhodes bade us good-bye to complete work on his doctor's degree. The music students and faculty are now happy to wel- come Dr. Rhodes back again. He has resumed his busy sched- ule of teaching private voice les- sons, conducting class, directing the Golden Chords Chorale and the Unionaires. Besides these ac- tivities, he has the responsibility of keeping the wheels turning smoothly in the music depart- ment. Already the Unionaires have made their first appearance at Elder H. M. S. Richards' meet- ings in Omaha. The members of this group are Carolyn Rhodes, Sara Lou Nettrouer, Jeanie Rogers, Donna Betts, Merilyn Wheeler, Barbara Turner, Jerry Patton, Orlo Gilbert, Verle Betts, Jack Hartley, DeWayne Rhodes, Bob Bockman, Bruce Freeman, and Sam James. The sixty-voice Golden Chords Chorale have con- tributed much to the church services as they will do through- out the year. In the realm of music organiza- tions, Mr. Lloyd Leno is out- standing. Along with the college band, he directs the Union Col- lege Concert orchestra, the acad- emy band and the grade school band. He also gives class instruc- tion in conducting and orchestral instruments. The college band appeared in Omaha on October 11 at Elder H. M. S. Richards' meetings. Mr. Leno also gives private lessons on all orchestral instruments except strings. Mr. Walter Carlson from the Univer- sity of Nebraska gives private lessons on strings and is concert master of the Union College Con- cert orchestra. Don Duncan is also student teaching in this field on woodwind instruments. Mr. Leno has an able helper, Connie Hodson, to care for the band li- brary. On second floor of Engel hall you will find the studio of Mr. William Haynes, where there is much hustle and bustle. In ad- dition to teaching private voice lessons, Mr. Haynes directs the male chorus, the ladies' Glee Club, the Academy choir and orchestra. He also rehearses small vocal groups. The head of our piano depart- ment is Miss Betty Christensen. She is a very busy person, for not only does she teach many private piano lessons, but also teaches Theory I, Theory II, Sightsinging and Counterpoint. It seems that one student going through registration line signed up for Sight-"seeing" class, but to his dismay found it was Sight- singing. To help Miss Christen- sen with paper work are two able assistants, Charlotte Lehto and Bob Bockman. Charlotte is also a student teacher in piano. Our "little" organ teacher, Miss Eleanor Attarian, is last but not least, for she has strength in her hands and feet when she plays the organ. Music speaks to all on many occasions through- out the year in her playing. She is a very busy person, also. She teaches not only organ but also piano. Her time is very full from morning until late in the even- ing. She is an ambitious person and spends much time reading and keeping up with music as it progresses with time. We wanted you to meet and get to know our music faculty. They are the ones who make our lives and activities in the music department go smoothly. In the near future, there will be a de- partmental recital by students of different teachers. On Novem- ber 11, the Golden Chords Chor- ale will sing for the Nebraska Association of Church Related Colleges that is to be held on our campus. There will also be several senior recitals and other departmental recitals during this year. CHAT-N-NIBBLE The following individuals are entitled to 1 free malt by bringing this ad with them.

CLOCK TOWER, OCTOBER 25, 1957 College Board Convenes, Approves Building Plans The Union College Board of Trustees met Tuesday, October 8. Completion date of the new women's dormitory, Pearl Rees Hall, was definitely set for next summer by the Union College Building and Executive commit- tee in a meeting held Monday, October 7. Mr. Vernon Dunn, board mem- ber and business manager of Union College, reported to the committee that as of September 30, 1957, $350,000 had been spent on the new hall. When com- pleted, the new dorm will have co st an estimated $600,000 to $700,000. The construction of a new road to be built behind the Adminis- tration building was also ap- proved by the committee. The road will run from the gymnasi- um to the beginning of North Hall with sufficient parking space included. The board sug- gested that students and staff members donate $5,000 to defray some of the cost of the $12,000 road. Plans were also laid for a con- tinuous general improvement building program which would include many of the campus buildings.

Yes, the weather was anything but auspicious for the commence- ment of work on our "asphalt avenue." It was encouraging to see President David Bieber out getting things started. Our thanks to him for what he has done toward the fulfillment of this longtime UC dreom. Of course, we won't be able to joke about the old dirt road anymore after it has been replaced, but it will be remembered by all with mixed emotions. During all the rain in the middle of this month, our sunken garden (which was mentioned in this column last issue) became so flooded that for a while it seriously challenged Lake Mead as the largest man-made lake. In fact, a name was even suggested for it by one enterprising student: Lake Turner. And speaking of adding machines, Calvin See brought an abacus to business machines lab a few days ago. These oriental adding ma- chines, in the proper hands, can out-maneuver on electric calculator —a triumph of the very old over the very new. South Hall was happy to welcome Clyde Olson's mother, brother, and sister for the weekend a week or so ago, along with Jake Knight's mother and father. Elder W. R. Beach conducted the worship period on the Sunday evening that he was here at Union and met with many of the min- isterial students the next afternoon in the Ad building. Somehow this column has previously neglected mentioning the new couch and chairs for the lobby of South hall. They are appre- ciated (and much used) by all the men of the dormitory. An ominous silence has been noticed in this corner. A silence from our opposite number, DIVERS DATA: NORTH HALL, which is not expected to continue. What have you up your sleeve, Miss Saturley, and when are you going to start throwing brickbats our way? We stand prepared. Cox, Sharpe, Gerdts Elected to Head Ministerial Group The Ministerial Association of Union College organized at the beginning of the school year with the following officers: Kenneth Cox, president; David Sharpe, vice president; Gene Gerdts, sec- retary-treasurer; Norman French, assistant secretary-treas- urer; Robert Beck, chorister; Jackie Schimke, pianist; Kenneth Morford, sergeant-at-arms. At the first meeting of the group, Elder Leif Kr. Tobiassen spoke on the subject, "What I Learned from Evangelist Billy Graham." At a recent meeting Elder H. M. S. Richards addressed the group of ministerial students, ad- vising them to be preachers—not of the atomic bomb, the now popular athletes, or anything else—but of the Word of God. He also gave counsel on the call and preparation for the ministry. Business Protessors Attend Marketing Meets Mr. Robert E.

RICE PHARMACY 3947 So. 48th St. CLOCK TOWER, OCTOBER 25, 1957 Philter FEATURE FOCUS On, VYlannsJitu Whether it be Amy Vanderbilt or Emily Post it would probably be a good idea for many of us to read some of these oft-forgotten bits of philosophy called the rules of etiquette. Whether it be in the dining room, on the campus or on the most important social occasion, there are definite things which should be kept in mind by all. It is not the purpose of this writer to point out definite rules to the readers, but the purpose of these few lines is to bring to mind the importance of following these established traditions. As members of society and as Christians, we should make our lives the height of perfection. As this school year progresses it would be well for each of us, men and women alike, to examine our manners and the actions which we display in the society of both our campus and our city. Let us re- member that if we set ourselves as good examples our neighbors will be able to say, "They are students of Union College." L. H. Ore Wi&AWftiu Union College is dedicated to a world mission. The pioneers of the Advent movement set out to accomplish that mission, and Union College advanced immediately to the fore- front of this undertaking. Soon her well-trained sons and daughters were marching out to the ends of the earth. Today the Golden Cords have been stretched to every corner of earth, and at the end of each stands a stalwart of the everlasting gospel. In every line of service these workers are giving a fine account of themselves. They are a fine example of what consecrated men and women can do when they are fired with an ideal and are completely dedicated to it. From across the street and across the seas these former students of Union College beckon to you, students of today, for help. Truly, the harvest never was more urgent and the workers never more needed. Our thin line of advance must be strengthened. Hundreds, yes, thousands of talented, capable workers yet must join the ranks of service. Every year a contingent must stand ready to go. In 1956 the General Conference sent overseas 392 volunteers. Approximately fifty-one per cent of this number left the fair shores of America. Over a two-year period our committee made 337 new appointments from the North American Division alone. Some of these were pioneer areas; most of them were for positions requiring specific qualifications. To illustrate the point, here are a few of the calls we filled: a college president, a union publishing department secretary, a lady teacher of voice and piano, a field president, a Bible teacher, a doctor pathologist, an experienced secretary, a director of nurses of a nurses' training school, a teacher of building construc- tion, an evangelist to a Moslem field, an accountant, a lady physician, and a home economics teacher in a girls' school. The above list could be enlarged. Thinking again specifically of the 337 appointments over a two- year period, we can classify them according to the service expected of them in the field as follows: ministerial, 38; educational, 94; medical, 114; managerial and office workers, 40; and bookbinder, 1. Of this list of calls, 40 were for single lady workers and 297 were for family units. The graduates of Union College must continue to enlarge the ranks of God's men and women. They must continue to march in service. The Golden Cords must increase in number and length. Then at the end of the way will dawn the golden morning, the gleams of which already brighten earth's dark horizons. Then our mission to the world will become what it truly is—a mission for eternity.

New posts have also been erected to carry the weight of the new nets. Also along the line of new things, six archery bows and six dozen arrows have been purchased for use in archery and recreational classes this winter. You hoopsters will be inter- ested to know that basketball season will get underway three weeks earlier this year. The baskets go up on November 24 with the first game to be played around December 1. Union's tumbling squad has been busy preparing for its first tour to Plainview Academy in South Dakota November 9. Any- one interested may still try out for the squad. Practices are held every Monday and Wednesday from 5 to 6 p.m. The intramural volleyball pro- gram will start on November 3. Games will be played Sunday through Friday from 12:15 to 1:00 p.m. Those wishing to participate should turn in team rosters to Mr. Robert Reynolds, athletic director, not later than October 30. A water polo league is also in the offing. Rosters should be turned in before October 27. (Continued to col. 5) Linguistic Lass-Favors French by Loron Wade Old "Friendly Phil" proved his utter uselessness as a sports fore- caster in the last issue (the Yankees didn't win the Series). So this week his true identity is revealed in one grand expose. Name: Hubert Philbrink. Description: Ugh! Occupation: U. S. citizen, columnist, Russian undercover- contra-counter-clockwise spy. Hello there, this is your Uncle Hubert with another column of Philler cleverly calculated t o keep you in-Formed. About the Russian Sputnik: In another brilliant first (electric lights, the automobile, tele- vision) our Bolshevik friends launched the first satellite to reach outer space and establish an orbit around the earth. The Sputnik is heavier, higher, and faster than the U. S. satellite, which is still on the ground, has hoped to be. The 184.3 lb. sphere crosses the sky some 559 miles up at about 18,000 m.p.h. Last week newspapers saw an ingenious spying device, scien- tists saw a great rocket achieve- ment, magazines saw a new era in space travel, and amateur astronomers saw nothing as all eyes were turned to the Sputnik. My commentary: relax, this is the G-O-Fizzical Year. There's a lot more to be learned in the next 16 months. Do we have to look with sus- picion at every achievement that is made by the Russians? Let's try a little trust and praise. Sometimes it can work wonders. Look at West Germany for in- stance. We were engaged in a bitter war with her mother coun- try. However, West Germany was given a chance, and she is making tremendous progress in science and industry. It can be said without fear of contradiction that West Germany is economi- cally the fastest growing country in the world. This week look for "These Faces in the Crowd." Don John- son, senior Biology major from Des Moines, Iowa, has a fine, likeable personality. Jerry Aso, freshman Secondary Education major from Denver, Colorado, has the wit and intellect required to win a wide range of friends. Genevieve Rebsomen The College Vieu> Question: "What would you like to see done to improve Union College?" Jean Turner: "I would like to see all the papers picked up on the campus." Rachel Jernigan: "I would like to see a sidewalk to the press, because it is so muddy to walk over there." Rolando Peinado: "I would like to see more social activities like clubs for village students." Janet Carlson: "I would like to have more recreational time for playing tennis, ping pong, bad- minton, or shuffleboard here at UC." Dean Culver: "I would like to see the men's dorm completed." George Gibbs: "I would like to have a rumpus room in the men's dormitory." Ann Whitsett: "I would like to have study period extended until 11:30." Kathy Prentice: "It would im- prove UC by having a student center." Billie Deming: "I would like lighter doors on the entrances to the administration building, be- cause the present ones are so haid to open, especially when a student is carrying an armload of books." George Ann Adcock:" "I would like to hear more dinner music at meals in the cafeteria." Jonnie Lee Bailey: "I would like to see the tennis courts lighted up for playing in the evenings in good weather and next spring." Connie Wells: "I would like to see more Saturday night pro- grams with student participation such as in skits and readings." Betty Chase: "I would like to see a place for informal visiting after meals other than the girls' dorm parlor." Frank McArthur: "I would like longer library periods in the evenings." "Bon jour,Mademoiselle,""Gu- ten morgen, Fraulein," or even "Sadh-el-kheir, Lelah"; however you say it, Genevieve Rebsomen will quickly respond with a friendly smile. From her earliest years she has been poly-lingual. Genevieve's father is a me- chanical engineer for the sugar factory in Casa Blanca and is pastor of the Casa Blanca church. The Rebsomens are French and this was the lan- guage spoken by the family. From the maids in her home Genevieve learned to speak Ara- bic. Later at school and from her friends she also learned Spanish, German and English. Her early memories are of war and of anxious months waiting for loved ones inside Vichy, France. As she grew older, the agitation and unrest between the Moslems and Europeans in Mor- occo grew, and many incidents occurred as the Arab-Moslems fought against all foreigners and Christians. Because of her excellent com- mand of English, Genevieve was able to get a position as inter- preter and secretary to the offi- cers at the American Air Force base in Casa Blanca. Here she decided that someday she would like to come to America. Last year her wish was ful- filled and at the beginning of the second semester, she came to Union College. She is majoring in languages and secretarial science. She is teaching three classes in French at the Nebraska University and has several pri- vate pupils besides carrying 16 hours of classwork. "At home," she explains, "all the school work is very difficult. The courses re- quire very intense study. Fin- ishing high school there is counted the same as taking the first two years of college here. So I am a junior now and will finish college next year." After graduation, she plans to go to the United Nations head- quarters in New York where she can find work as a translator.
