Clot o titer Vol. XXXIII Union College, Lincoln, Nebrakso, July 24, 1960 No. 18 FESTIVAL OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES By G. L. Caviness The importance of the knowledge and love of the Bible was made clear to even the most casual ob- server of the North American Youth Congress held at Atlantic City re- cently. At any time of the day or evening young conventioners could be seen, Bible in hand and delegate ribbon flying, on the famous board- walk on their way to or from a meeting in the convention hall, which has seen many types of gatherings but never one like this. Even the renovation and "face lift- ings" going on in the building itself seemed symbolic. There were complaints from the operators of certain types of estab- lishments that they had no busi- ness. They said, "All these kids do is eat and go to meeting." If the owners of the liquor stores had at- tended the national American Tem- perance Society contest, they would have understood better. If the en- tertainers had witnessed the firm dedication of over a thousand young men who answered the call made by Elder Minchin of the Gen- eral Conference Missionary Volun- teer Department, for those who felt called by God to enter the gospel ministry, they would have seen the reason there was so little need for amusements. If the operators of the swimming, boating, and beach es- tablishments had heard and seen the fourteen foreign missionary couples under appointment joined by many others who hope to go later, they would have known that the water and beaches hold no terrors for these young crusaders for the cross. The ocean to them is a path to their life's ambitions; the shores they seek are foreign shores. They will operate boats and almost any other mechanical de- vice known to man in order to reach and bring to Christ those who sit in darkness. The fact that food and sleep were rather unimportant incidentals to this crowd of young people, remind- ed at least one visitor of Gideon's army lapping up water while keep- ing their objective clearly in view. Not that the physical arrangements for the congress had been neglected in any way. Both at Convention Hall itself, in the Loma Linda and Worthington Foods counters, where thousands ate between meet- ings, and in the restaurants in town, where Seventh-day Adventist menus were featured, provision had been made for the physical bread; but the bread of life offered in mes- sages brought by H. M. S. Richards, W. A. Fagal, Andrew Fearing, F. L. Peterson, and twice by General Conference President, R. R. Fighur, was certainly uppermost in the mind of the youth. The almost six thousand box lunches paid for and prepared before the Sabbath were monument to efforts to "keep the Sabbath holy." Most of the rest of the fifteen thousand in attend- ance Sabbath morning had brought lunches from home on Friday. The fact that there are many gifts but one Spirit was well illus- trated in the display area by the booths representing different avenues of Christian service. The literature ministry in the produc- tion (Pacific Press and Review and Herald), distribution (Book and Bible House), and sale (literature evangelism) phases held attention in the center. Medical work as shown in the General Conference (Continued on page 2, col. 4) 231 ARE ENROLLED IN SUMMER SESSION Summer school on the U.C. cam- pus has successfully survived nine- weeks tests with an enrollment of 231.

Nelson, and many elementary and secondary teachers who are back for a few "refresher" courses. Courses are being offered in Art, Biology, Chemistry, Education and Psychology, English, Greek, History, Home Economics, Mathematics, Music, Physical Education, Religion, Secretarial Science, Speech, and a special six-week Library Science Workshop. Union College Graduates Elected to Senior Class Offices at C.M.E. LOS ANGELES—Three graduates of Union College have been elected to serve as officers for the senior class in medicine at the College of Medical Evangelists for the 1960-61 school year. The three young men, Carl L. Bauer of La Center, Washington, Kenneth L. Dedeker of Hastings, Minnesota, and Philip Henry Reis- wig of Manfred, North Dakota, all received their undergraduate de- grees from Union in the spring of 1957. Since the fall of that same year, they have been enrolled in the School of Medicine at CME pur- suing studies leading to the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Mr. Dedeker was chosen vice- president, Mr. Reiswig, parliamen- tarian, and Mr. Bauer, chaplain. The senior class in medicine for 1961 includes 88 students. Former President Hartman Dies in Kansas New Wing of South Hall Ready For Fall Occupancy They'll be ready! Yes, according to plans, forty-six new student rooms will be ready for the young men of South Hall to move into next September. There will be two infirmary rooms also in the new wing, though these may not be ready quite so soon. There will be built-in desks and bookselves and a sink in each room, similar to the arrangement in Rees Hall. Differ- ent from those in the main part of the dormitory are the doors, door-jambs, and trim, all of oak instead of cottonwood with birch doors. Another feature felt to be an improvement is the use of quarry tile, rather than ceramic tile, in the halls. It is hoped that by Christmas the cafeteria, too, may be finished. Mr. Dunn is now ordering the new equipment, for this must all be decided on before the plumbing can be done. The new wing is to house the kitchen, a ladies' lounge, and an office. The kitchen being used at present will be the young men's worship room, and the green room will be extended where the ladies' lounge is now. Academy Groundbreaking Ground will be broken this fall for the new academy building, which will be situated beside the Helen Hyatt Elementary School. The architect, Steve Cook, has been hired and plans are being drawn. Ned Saunders is to be in charge of construction. According to plans, the classrooms should be ready for use in the fall of 1961. Harvey C. Hartman Acceptances Up Over Last Year Student acceptances are already six weeks ahead of what they were at this time last year. As of July 10, 688 applications had been fully pro- cessed and accepted and thirty-one more were ready to be finalized The new wing on South Hall is making it possible to accept with- out difficulty all qualified men ap- plicants. Some girls, however, have already been put on a waiting list, as all the rooms in Rees Hall have been reserved. It is believed that because of drop-outs it is quite like ly that these girls, too, will be able to get into the dormitory shortly after the fall term begins. The college is continuing to accept lady dormitory students and will provide other housing arrange- ments as may be neccessary. Res- ervations for rooms in Rees Hall should be sent in with applications; they will be honored in the order of the date they are received. The $10 deposit may be refunded up to September 1. tt GYMNICS" Visit Union College >1 Bob Kalua, do their Duo Gene Wilson, Chair Act. To promote the development of body, mind, and character is the goal of the Loma Linda "Gymnics" who presented their program "Physical Panorama" at Union Saturday evening, July 2. The "Gymnics" under the direc- tion of Gene Wilson—Senior dental student at C.M.E .—and Bob Kalua— Junior Physical Education major from P.U.C.—came to U.C. as a part Gene, Bob and Tuller Dye do this one for practice. You should try it sometime. of a three week tour which included Youth's Congress and 8 other pro- grams. The touring team consists of 15 boys and 5 girls who, to reach the optimum in physical fitness, main- tain a strict training program and diet—no sugar, no refined cereals— for two months preceding, and dur- ing the touring program. Outstanding numbers on the Gene Docs a hand-stand high in the air on non-interlocking wooden blocks. agenda were Gene and Bob's Duo Chair Act, Gene's Block Act, and the witty, though extremely moral- istic, health readings given by 13- year old M.C. Ronnie Walden. The group presents denomina- tional programs, only, and it is the aim of Gene and Bob to establish several recreation centers for Ad- ventist youth. Harvey C. Hartman, eighteenth president of Union College died of an accident at La Crosse, Kansas, July 11. Professor Hartman, who at the time of his death was administrator of the Boulder Sanitarium, was spending a few days at the old home in Kansas with his mother. While driving a tractor the ma- chine struck rough ground, threw him and ran over him crushing his legs and causing internal injuries. He lay for about forty minutes while the driverless tractor con- tinued to make broad circles in the field. When he failed to come to dinner his father went to look for him, and learned of the accident. Professor Hartman rallied and for a time hope was held for his recovery but he was too seriously injured to survive the ordeal. Professor Hartman was graduated from Union College in 1921 and taught at three academies in Union College territory: Sheyenne River, Enterprise, and Plainview. H e served as principal of Plainview and Oak Park academies and in the fall of 1935 became business man- ager of Union College. In 1946 he responded to the call of the Mis- souri Conference, built Sunnydale Academy and served as its first principal. Then came a two year term as business manager of Walla Walla College, after which he was elected president of Union College and served from 1950 to 1957. President Hartman was a-builder. He considered the building of the Union College Library his most out- standing achievement. In the depths of the depression he led out in soliciting a large portion of the money for this first large building erected on the campus since the college was built. As business manager or president he had a hand in planning or ac- tually constructing every building on the campus except the adminis- tration building, power house, and print shop. President Hartman, while teach- ing at Sheyenne River Academy, met Miss Maudie Carr of Milton Junction, Wisconsin and they were married August 2, 1922. They have one daughter, Marceline, who is married to Calvin Biggs. President Extends Convention Trip to Vacation President and Mrs. D. J. Bieber were in Boston, Massachusetts from June 21-29—except for a week-end in Atlantic City for Youth's Con- gress—for an institute of college administrators. This was held at the Business Administration Grad- uate School of Harvard University. The Biebers, who will return to hot, humid Nebraska on July 15, are now vacationing at Acadia Park, Bar Harbor, Maine.
