America is offside with liquor, and many individuals are seeking a way of escape other than the cross, was the substance of Cheatham's oration. He also said that liquor "is eat- ing the very heart out of America." The $50.00 first prize was award- ed to him by Elder J. V. Scully, associate secretary of the temper- ance department of the General Conference. Along with the other nine orators, the Union participant, Jane Now- ack, a junior English major, re- ceived $35.00 and a plaque for out- standing participation. These a- wards were also given by Elder Scully and Elder Paul M. De Booy, Central Union missionary volunteer and temperance department secre- tary. There have been six National Contests, with the first and sixth held here. Elder Scully said that this is the best of such contests held yet, according to the president of the college chapter, Milton Er- hart, junior religion major. The judge chairman, Elder L. H. Netteburg, treasurer of the North- ern Union, introduced the other judges: Lincoln Mayor Pat Boyles; Mr. Asa Christensen, a local at- torney; Rev. Carl Davidson, pastor of the First Methodist Church in Lincoln; Mr. W. W. Nuernberger, judge of the Lancaster County ju- venile court; Mr. M. H. Siller, chief warden of the Nebraska State Pen- itentiary; and Mrs. Ada Westover, director of the Family Service As- sociation.

Both are junior music majors. Bill will also be con- ducting one number in the last half of the program. A free-will offering will be taken during intermission. This will be applied toward planned improve- ment in instrumentation, according to Mr. Johnson. Learn From Christ's Life, Speaker Says In This Issue 1. Visiting Seniors p. 2 & 3 2. Leditors p. 4 3. Power Hour p. 4 Special Activities for SWJC FORWARD LOOK—Following their class motto-aim the seniors from SWJC preview college life at Union this week end. This is one of the largest graduating classes for many years, says class secretary, Betty Black. by Betty Black "One step at a time, always for- ward" is the motto-aim of the College Senior Class of Southwest- ern Junior College. Numbering 49 at Presentation in December, the class of '61 is the largest group of college seniors in many years.

Folkenberg Spring Cleaning Brushes Two Coats on CV Church Present plans for repairing the College View Seventh-day Advent- ist church include an outside paint job and limited interior de- corating in the junior room II, ac- cording to Pastor M. W. Deming. The two-coat paint job, costing an estimated $2500-$3000, is con- tracted to R. H. Bradley, one of the church elders. Most of the cost of the paint and labor is covered by the "share blanks" which were sent to church mem- bers, says the pastor. The two- three week job will be completed in April. Remodeling in the junior room II is dependent on the condition of the repair fund after the painting is completed. "To build a new church in about ten years, is the future plan of the College View church board," said Deming. "Until then, we must keep the present one in good con- dition." Loma Linda University Is Flew tae lor CME LOMA LINDA—The College of Medical Evangelists will become Loma Linda University on July 1. First classes under the new Uni- versity will begin in September, according to an announcement by the Trustees of the College. Joining the medical education center at the graduate level to form a single school of graduate studies will be two California liberal arts colleges, La Sierra College in Arlington, and Pacific Union Col- lege in Angwin. A triangular rela- tionship will exist among the three associated colleges within the Uni- versity structure, the announce- ment explained. Baccalaureate (undergraduate) degrees will continue to be granted by the two undergraduate colleges under their present names, which they will retain. All graduate work on all campuses of the associated colleges will be through the School of Graduate Studies of the Univer- sity, and will be under the direction of the Dean of the School. All grad- uate degrees will bear the name of the University. The annual spring Week of Prayer will be conducted here by Elder Elman J. Folkenberg, evangelist of the Atlantic Union Conference, April 17-22. He will "concentrate on great lessons from the life of Christ during this series, dwelling upon the aspects of personal Christian liv- ing which they so ably teach," he said. The usual Week of Prayer sched- ule is to be followed, the meetings coming at 9:00 a.m. and 6:40 p.m. Prayer bands in the classes and dormitories are scheduled before the morning meetings. Elder Folk- enberg will also be available throughout the week for personal counseling. Appointments may be made through the religion depart- ment. Although his home is in South Lancaster, Massachusetts, Elder Folkenberg is currently conducting a series of meetings in Bermuda, where he will return after the Week of Prayer. He has conducted many evangelistic meetings, one a series in the New Gallery, London, Eng- land. The speaker comes from a family of preachers, his father a minister in California and his brother, Elder Stanley L. Folkenberg, located in the New York center. Several teachers on the Union College staff report having known him as a student at Fresno Acad- emy, Fresno, California, and Pacific Union College, where he graduated in 1943. One reported that he comes from a "very interesting family, and I am looking forward to hear- ing him during these meetings." South America Target tor Three Month Summer Tour By Whitfield and Hall Miss Pearl Hall, associate pro- fessor of romance languages, and Miss Ruth Whitfield, food service director, are touring South America June 4 - September 13. Traveling mostly by plane, they will visit the sixteen countries and large islands. Miss Hall became interested in visiting South America while do- ing research work this past sum- mer for a Spanish extension course at the University of Nebraska. Miss Whitfield plans to visit one of her former students now in South America. According to Miss Hall, one of the main adventures of the trip will be a week's trip in a medical launch on a tributary of the Ama- zon. In this way, they will observe the natives in their natural way of living. Other points of interest to bs visited are the Inca ruins in Peru, and Iguazu Falls, a cascade larger than either Niagara or Victoria Falls. As is customary, they plan to visit UC graduates at 20 Seventh- day Adventist schools and hospitals. Pre-meds, Pre-dents Visit San. To Preview Vocations The pre-medical and pre-dental seniors will be guests at the Porter Sanitarium in Denver, April 14 and 15. At least one car load of pre- medical and pre-dental seniors, those that were accepted at the College of Medical Evangelists, Loma Linda, California, will spend a weekend of observing and visiting in the Porter Sanitarium. G. L. Caviness, academic dean, stated that the main objective of this trip is to encourage the med- ical and dental students to do their internship and possibly make plans for permanent employment at Por- ter. Columbia Union College is WMC's New Name A new name has been voted for Washington Missionary College, Takoma Park (Maryland). Constituents meeting on March 7 voted to call the four-year liberal arts school Columbia Union College. The decision for renaming the school follows a year of study by a special name change commission. College trustees earlier had recom- mended the name change. No date has been announced when the change becomes effective, though it appears certain it will become official within six months.

Firth, chairman of the business administration de- partment, this summer at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. Dr. Firth will be one of the twen- ty-five economics teachers of the nation who will receive the all ex- pense paid grant from Wisconsin University. The four week 1961 program from June 19 to July 14, will include field trips to Wisconsin's industrial areas and the finance and marketing centers of Milwaukee and Chicago. It will provide excellent opportun- ity to relate economic theory to everyday economic practices, Dr. Firth said. The 1961 program will emphasize the steel industry which is facing new problems in competition and processing for the jet and missile age. Dr. William A. Osborne, chairman of the business administration de- partment at Oakwood College in Alabama, was awarded this grant last year. Prayer Room in South Hall Availe])le-Newly Furnished "A place to pray alone, a good, quiet retreat, a place where the boys can have privacy," were the words used by Dean M. S. Culver to des- cribe the new South Hall prayer room. The space for the prayer room, adjacent, to Dean Culver's office on the first floor, was part of the original plans for South Hall, but because of overcrowded conditions it has been used as a dormitory room until last week. The room is furnished with a new four-piece sectional and two lamps which were supplied by the college. In addition, South Hall has purchased two new chairs and a picture of Christ. The picture of Jesus, which hangs on the north wall, indicates that this room is set aside for religious purposes only. "It is in answer to students' re- quests that we have the room," said Dean Culver. "So far the res- ponse has been good." It is hoped that next year an appropriate name can be found for the room. SRA— Coming approximately 600 miles, the senior's from Sheyenne 'River have the longest trip to make to Union for senior visitation. by Jan Korolsky The Sheyenne River Academy graduating class of 1961 is compos- ed of thirty-four members. This is the largest graduating class since 1952. On November 7 the following of- ficers were chosen: DeVern Biloff, President; Janet Jones, Vice-Presi- dent; Jan Korolsky, Secretary; Carolyn Klaman, Treasurer; Glenn Kerr, Pastor; and Dennis Lehmann, sergeant-at-arms. Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Thompson were chosen as the class sponsors. To start off the year's activities the senior class had its first party on December 10. Vigorous games were played in the gym; and to fill hungry stomachs and relax jangled nerves, lunch was served in the cafeteria. March 18 found all seniors hur- riedly getting ready for the Senior Benefit Program. The evening's en- tertainment consisted of a play entitled "Waiting for the Male," a reading, and an M.C.C. demonstra- tion. Fudge, popcorn, pop, ice- cream, and cake were sold in ad- dition to the admission charge for the play. The net returns amounted to $125. The high-lights for the year are the senior trip to Lincoln, senior skip day, and graduation. Graduation at Sheyenne River Academy will be held on May 28.

CA—The eighty-five senior class to arrive on the Union College campus the foot of the Rockies. by Linda L. Looke The Campion Senior Class of '61 Is the largest in the school's his- tory. Having lost only three mem- bers throughout the year, it now numbers eighty-five. The Class Officers are as follows: president, Larry Brown; vice-presi- dent, Bonnie Schneidewind; secre- tary, Judy J. Johnson; treasurer, Glynda Howard; pastor, Jim Gar- diner; and sergeant-at-arms, Gary Schlisner. Sponsors are Mr. and Mrs. Vern Thompson and Mr. and Mrs. Merlin Reeder. The Senior Skip-Day activity this year was an unusual one. On the weekend of January 7-9 the class took a trip to Estes Park, Colorado, members from Campion appear eager as they pose on their own campus at to stay for two days at Aspen Lodge. The class members and sponsors stayed in individual cabins and in private rooms in the Lodge. Two days were spent in hiking, ice skating, tobogganing and hay rides. One of the more recent activities was the Paul Harvey program of March 11. Fifty-one members of the class sponsored the nation-wide ABC news commentator, and over 1900 tickets were sold. Mr. Harvey's presentation was titled, "Americans and the Space Age." This may seem like a tremendously large project to undertake, but as Mr. Harvey said, "That's what they wanted, so that's what they did!" Platte Valley Academy PVA—From the wind-swept Nebraska plains, twenty-two Platte Valley seniors come to Union for senior visitation. Pictured are the class officers on ski day. by Dale Jensen Now that the year at Platte Val- ley Academy is on the down hill slide the seniors are what is some- times termed "up in the clouds." Our plans for graduation are well under way and each is looking with keen anticipation to the final weekend. The senior class consists of twen- ty-two members with nine boys and thirteen girls. The class just returned recently from a trip to the Black Hills and Terry's Ski Slope, located in the heart of the Black Hills. Here we had a very enjoyable time trying our luck at what the instructor called skiing. (My per- sonal opinion was that we did more coasting on our stomachs than skiing.) The entire sneak was a complete success. Several of the seniors have also been taking an active part in a series of evangelistic meetings in one of the neighboring towns. Our very able sponsors are Mr. and Mrs. Don Wetherall and Miss David. We have great plans for graduation and are looking forward to college days. The president of the class is Dale Jensen, vice president is Gay- lene Kaasa, secretary is Phyllis Hedgecock, treaurer is Myrna Lake, pastor is Jerold Aitken, and par- liamentarian is Don Neuharth.

Onion College Academy Enterprise Academy by Glenda Watts On November 7, 1960 all seemed to be quiet on the campus of En- terprise Academy, when suddenly a siren began to blow and up the street to the academy came a car carrying eight people, accompanied by the police. In the car were Ed Seltmanri, class president; Bonita Bales, vice-president; Glenda Watts, secretary; Martha Spuehler, treasurer; Stan Hagen, pastor; Ken Enochs, sergeant-at-arms, and Miss Connie Wells and Mr. G. H. Glins- man, sponsors. There are twenty-six members in the Senior class. The class bought a rug for the rostrum in the chapel for the senior gift. The Senior Benefit, a film entitled, "The Silent World," netted over $90 to the class for skip day expenses, says Miss Wells.

UCA Graduate Named On WMC Honor Roll One graduate of Union College Academy has been listed on Wash- ington Missionary College's honor roll, released by Registrar Eunice Rozema. John Klaren, '60, was among 108 students who earned a 2.0 or better average in college studies first semester. Thirty-three of the total were freshmen, thirty-eight sopho- mores. Nine were juniors and twen- ty-eight were seniors. 3.0 is an A average, according to Miss Rozema. Second semester began on the Washington Missionary College campus with over 900 enrolled. The Union College tumbling team's performance met with en- thusiastic acceptance on two re- cent promotional tours, according to Mr. R. J. Miller, physical educa- tion instructor. Traveling approximately 16 0 0 miles, the team visited Maplewood, and Sunnydale Academies on March 18 and 25 respectively. Pro- grams were presented which drew crowds as large as 600 persons. Mr. Boyd Olson, Maplewood prin- cipal, was quoted by Mr. Miller as stating that this was the finest tumbling organization he had seen at his school in many years. The group traveled by private car and was housed in the dormitories of the respective schools. Team members are James Pastor, Tony Latessa, Don Diesch, Byron Bradley, Jerry Sisk, Bob Nelson, Derrill House, Ron Scott, and Dave Howie, team clown. Miller feels the promotional ac- tivities of the group are meeting with good success in presenting to the academy students the phy- sical training opportunities avail- able at Union, as well as its spirit of sportsmanship and fair play. Graduate Record Exams Scheduled For Seniors Senior graduate records examin- ation will be given Sunday after- noon, April 23 and Monday morn- ing, April 24.

For Your Pleasure 4 CLOCK TOWER April 7, 1961 Something lor Nothing by M. W. Deming, pastor Taxes are high; there is bound to be waste in government prac- tices; we have a right to look for ways to lower taxes; we must work to rid our government of waste and graft, but the man who prides him- self on being able to figure so well that he never has any taxes to pay doesn't deserve the privileges and benefits he is getting, in this United States of America. The "something for nothing" people aren't the builders of a good society. There are some in every community, in every church, in every organization who always ask first, "What will it cost?" The price tag is their sole estimate of the worth of any given project. These "something for nothing" people will swim all day in a pool they condemned, but then was finally built over their protest. They will enjoy the casual comforts of a club reading room, they refused to support financially. They'll occupy a regular pew in the new church, when they had insisted that the old weatherbeaten building was good enough and gave but a pittance toward the building of the new. We can be thankful that these "something for nothing" people are in the great minority. When you see them, or hear them, treat them gently, they belong in some museum. Small Country-Big Move! First it was Cuba; then the Congo; now it is Laos. These three small countries have taken their turn in making the recent top news stories. The crises in Cuba and the Congo is not over by any means, but during the past few weeks the world has been focused upon Laos, a tiny kingdom which lies just south of Communist China. Laos, which is approximately the size of Great Britain, is still a very primitive country. Nine-tenths of its inhabitants think that the world is still flat, and populated mainly by Laotians, according to a recent U.S. survey. Elephants are still the chief means of transportation. Why, then, are Communist China and the U. S. S. R. so interested in this small country? The strategy that the communists are employing is their belief that the West will keep overlooking their interventions in small countries and in this way make it give ground slowly because It does not want war. Just recently, soviet Premier Khrushchev, in a nation-wide broad- cast to the Russian people, said that they would have no rest until the entire world was dominated by communism. For them to obtain this objective, a world war would have to take place. We know that neither the East nor the West wants this, as it would mean almost total destruction for both. President Kennedy is now, with the aid of Great Britain, pressing Moscow for a peaceful "ban-fire" in Laos. He also warned that the West is ready to move in for action. If this doesn't work, what will be the next move? And by whom? Campus Leditors . . . "A Blast" Dear Editor: It is indeed a rather momentous occasion when I discover sufficient motivation to pen a letter; how- ever, I feel compelled to write a few lines of commendation and ap- preciation. The commendation goes to Milton Erhart of the local chap- ter of the ATS for his efforts in makin'g our week end at Union College a most enjoyable one. He certainly went the second mile in showing us a good time, and I am certain I speak for all the visit- ing orators when I say in current California's "colloquialeese" we had a "blast"! The appreciation goes to students and faculty alike for your warm welcome, your friendliness, and your unexcelled hospitality. My memories of Union are only plea- sant ones! Sincerely, Ed Lugenbeal La Sierra College Thankful Penful Dear Editor: Solusi library thanks you for sending your publication so reg- ularly. Your kind gesture is much appreciated. May I offer you my personal thanks for the Christmas Number, which arrived last Thursday. I should like you to pass on to Mr. Len Colson, who is most approp- riately listed as "Make Up Editor," the humble tribute which follows. One feels that conventional words are inadequate. Only imitation, poor though it admittedly is, can pos- sibly be offered in compliment to a mind. Many have coined words; few have presented philology with a new principal of word building. Power Hour Aids Student Spiritual Growth by Anna Streeter Education in its truest sense is a four-phased development and each physical, mental, social and spiritual faculty must be developed to its fullest capacity. Not of little importance on the Union College campus is spiritual growth. Varied activties and organizations of relig- ious natures provide a great deal of opportunity for such growth. Among these activities is Power Hour. The very name indicates to a large extent its purpose. Meeting in the administration building chapel each day at noon, immed- iately after the last period classes have been dismissed, a faithful group of students, sometimes num- bering up to twenty, share inspira- tional thoughts, and then unite their voices and hearts in prayer. The spiritual power derived from such association and meditation serves to strengthen their individ- ual connection with Heaven. Leaders for Power Hour are Ev- elyn Moore, senior nursing student, and Leslie Werner, a freshman ministerial student. They select an individual from the Student Body to present something helpful to the whole group. Devotionals ran- ge in subject matter from portions of the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy to articles of spiritual value from the Reader's Digest. A recent article enjoyed by the students who attend Power Hour contrasted the meaning of common pleasure with that of real joy. Other topics for meditation are inspirational poetry and studies on Heaven, thoughtfulness and kind- liness. After the devotional, small groups kneel throughout the chapel and prayers are offered. When the prayers are finished, Power Hour is concluded with the song, "With Thy Spirit, Fill Me." Why go to Power Hour? Perhaps attendance there would serve to Clatter Clarified To you eager seniors—patience. To you discouraged freshmen— courage. To you bewildered visitors on our campus—Welcome! Actually, it is probably unfair to label only our visitors as bewildered. It seems very likely that this soon after vacation many Union College students would qualify for this classification. For honesty's sake, we may even have to admit that some were even in this condition before vacation. Ann Silverstein raced into this columnist's room several days be- fore vacation and asked frantically, "Do you have any clothes that need washing?" It seems that Ann had removed her clothes from the washer, placed them in the dryer and absentmindedly put her quart- er in the empty washer. But Ann isn't the only person to have trouble with these facilities. While using the laundry across the street, Pat Perkins carefully put two dimes in a machine and re- washed someone else's clothes. A possible reason for these prob- lems may be that both of these ladies are R.H.C.'s (Residence Hall Counsellor's) and due to various strains and stresses are not always up to par. Another R.H.C. (no name please) gave Ruth Ann Hagcn Pat Gustin's library card. One error of this type would not be too noticable, but when Ruth Ann returned two hours later with Doris Miller's card one begins to wonder at the efficiency of this system. Certain course requirements have recently become a great hindrance to some college students' pursuit of knowledge. Philosophy of Edu- cation is a course with such re- by Clus quirements. The chapters are num- bered with Roman numerals. When Chapter 29 was assigned, Janp Nowack, completely baffled by the number system did XXIV. She isn't alone, however, for two days later Ernie Zenonani made a similar mistake. Might we suggest that a new entrance requirement be added to this course? In reflection . . . The March 23 Clock Tower carried two pointed articles. One entitled "Temperance" and the other "Two Pictures" both pointed out unfortunate inconsis- tencies among us. For the past 12 Sabbaths we have been puzzling over why we as a church are ac- complishing so little and are seem- ingly asleep. Does it not seem prob- able that the presence of such in- consistencies as these mentioned give us a definite clue to our prob- lem? Meditations of a Missionary's Mother Lumumba, Katanga, Mobutu, Kas- avubu and Zork. Jungle sounds, jungle drums, jungle ills, jungle children and work. Good-by children, good-by babies, God calls—you answer the need. There's rushing and packing and weeping as you're leaving—God Speed. Strange names have new meanings. Go Son, you must get on with His work. Lumumba, Katanga, Mobutu, Kas- avubu and Zork. —Ethyle D. Shell (This poem was written for Hazel Zork, mother of Warren Zork, when Warren left with his family for their second tour of duty as missionaries in Northern Rhodesia, Africa. Graduates of Union College, Warren and his wife Shirley have four children, two of whom wore born in Africa.) To Mr. Len Colson, who has demonstrated anew that English is a living language. AN IMITATION Wail no more of decadence; fear no more a future dearth; Think not the divineful Horse of the Muse has left the earth. Do not sob that brownful Fall presages the death of Art: Here is proof that greenful Spring warms at least one braveful heart.' One youngful pen will ne'er be bound by custom, ancientful and thin, Nor be contentful with old words when 'tis so simpleful to spin Newful ones to suit the need—That were stupidful, indeed. Yours, with gratitude for a moment's amusement, Mrs. R. V. Gorle, Librarian. Editors Note: Mrs. Gorle refers to Len's page one item in the December 16 issue, which reads: "And then honor that prayer with saneful tactics throughout your journey." Hits "Hit-Tunes" Dear Editor: I seldom have a chance to listen co KVUC, but today I did, and what I heard was disgusting. Our radio station should not even be tainted with the sound of "hit- tune" let alone have a regular oc- currence of these songs. Correctfully yours Joe Greig Why Not a Peanut Dear Editor: Why must there be such contro- versy over having "Mr. Peanut" as our school emblem? It is my under- standing that some years back many residents of College View raised peanuts to eat and sell. If they used "Mr. Peanut" as a means of livelihood, why should he be in such disfavor as an emblem? Around the country several well- known colleges and universities have emblems and nicknames which I consider just as "controver- sial" as a peanut. The University of Nebraska sports an ear of corn, Ohio States sports a buckeye, Iowa University students are hawkeyes, and the fans of Washington Uni- versity watched their husky-dogs burrow the golden rodents of Min- nesota in the Rose Bowl. Now, why knock an edible, harm- less peanut and glorify a rat-like, burrowing "Golden Gopher" con- sidered by many to be a jest? I do not own or intend to pur- chase a "Mr. Peanut" jacket or sweatshirt, nor would I buy a go- pher jacket; but I see no harm in wearing a jacket with a peanut emblem showing that the wearer is a student or admirer of Union Col- lege. Dan Duff lessen the tensions and problems that often seem to burden our every move. Several students who con- sider this as essential as any other part of their daily program ex- plained their reasons for going to Power Hour. Evelyn Moore likes it "because a person has morning and evening worship and it's nice to have a time during the middle of the day when he can draw aside from his problems and know that God still cares for him." Terry Campbell expressed his feelings about attending Power Hour thus: "I attend Power Hours because I need the power which only prayer can give. We need to associate together and encourage one another along the Christian Way. It will be in just such meet- ings as this where the Holy Spirit will be poured out. We need Power Hour and Power Hour needs us." "I go there to meet my Best Friend in a special way at noon- time," said Evelyn Bird. "By meet- ing with other young people who believe the same as I do, I receive a blessing I could not acquire other- wise." "Going to Power Hour is a good habit to form. The short devotional talks by fellow students are a stimulating supplement to my own experience. And there is power in prayer." These were the thoughts expressed by Carolyn Sherwood, who regularly attends. When asked to extend an invita- tion to the whole Student Body, each student interviewed did so willingly. Carolyn summed up the whole purpose and object of Power Hour in a few short words: "We don't want anyone to come to Power Hour unless he really wants to come. We just wish that more could realize what they are miss- ing." Speech Ed (lass Knocks Jumble From Kids' Mumble A speech improvement class is being conducted at the Helen Hyatt Elementary School. Betty" Bell, senior speech major, is in charge of the group of four first and second grade boys. The class meets twice a week. Students from the Speech Education class are on hand to assist. The purpose of the class is to correct minor articulation errors. Games, flash cards, hand puppets, etc. are used as stimuli to learning. Faculty Majors in Clock Tower for Extra Curricular Activity by Stella Perhaps you've wondered what the phrase "Union never forgets her own" means. I think I have part of the answer. If you were to leaf with me through the UC bul- letin for 1960-61 you would And that of the eighty-eight active staff members forty-nine are Union alumni, that's 56%. After figuring this out, I pro- ceeded to look up some of the names in their senior annuals to see what kind of extra-curricular activities some of our staff mem- bers were in. After all this might unlock the secret of their success. Here are the results: D. J. Bieber—Sec. Treas., CT M. S. Culver—Class Treas.; Circ. Manager, CT Hilda Fern Remley—VP of Class; Pres., KT Ramirez R. K. Nelson—Rep., CT R. E. Firth—Treas. and Adv. Man- ager, CT Walter Page—SIK Pres. Margaret Pederson—CT Typist Neil Rowland—Circ. Manager, CT Arthur Hauck—MA Pres. Marilyn Brown—Asst. Feature Ed.. CT Delmer Holbrook—Ed., CT Gerry Thompson—VP, TOT Adeline Germann—Rep., CT P. C. Jarnes—Class Pres.; CT Rep. Of course, I just picked a few people here and there; but the evidence seems to be quite over- whelmingly on the side of one particular activity. Uh, I hate to brag but I do report for the CT. Who knows, someday I may be back here teaching Organic. OHocl outer Editor-in-Chief Associate Editor ...
