mttrr Vol. XXXI UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, NOVEMBER 8, 1957 No. 4 MIRACLE OF THE AIR WAVES It takes more than an oriental or- ganism to interfere with the week of prayer. Although flu-stricken occu- pants of North Hall and the Castle could not be up to attend services, a touch of the radio dial brought the services to them. Twice a day they could tune in to the music and devo- tional talks as they came over the air waves. The project was put into action when speaker, Elder R. M. Whitsett, suggested linking North Hall into the inter-corn system already in oper- ation between the church and South Hall. Ron Case and Charles Randall im- mediately speeded up work on the radio transmitter being built for the speech department. In a few hours the first service went on the-air. A relay line was strung from South Hall over the top of the Ad building to North Hall where the transmitter was set up temporarily. From this transmitter, which will soon become the active ingredients of station KVUC, the broadcasts were heard in North Hall and the Castle. Classes See Drop As Flu Epidemic Hits Union Campus Union College was hit with a flu epidemic definitely identified to be Asian flu by the Nebraska State Board of Health. The re- sult of twelve blood tests proved six of the cases to be Asian flu and the other six "probable" cases pending further study, The twelve blood tests were taken from twelve students in all stages of the disease as a cross- section of those ill. The six that were "probable" cases were those taken during the latter stages of the disease and were thought to be .Asian flu though not definite- ly proved to be. The first cases were suspected October 17 when two boys be- came sick. South Hall was first host to the disease with North Hall's battle with the disease coming about a week later. Fifty percent of the student body was put to bed with the worst day being October 22 when 200 dormitory students were confined to bed. Union College was the worst hit school in the Lincoln area at that time. Since there are still some peo- le who had their names on the st for flu shots who did not re- .eive them, the school nurse's only comment on the epidemic is "Anyone want a flu shot?" (Continued page 4, column 3) Election Held October 28 Fills Student Offices In the election held October 28, the nominees were accepted by the student body. Six of these persons will fill office or com- mittee vacancies, and five will constitute the Promotions Com- mittee.

Union To Host College Heads FORMED PHYSICS HEAD IS WEEKEND VISITOR Milton D. Hare, Ph.D., was a weekend visitor on the Union College campus, October 25-28, while en route to Washington, D.C., where he will attend the Third Annual Technical Meeting on Electron Devices. Dr. Hare will be one of four guest speak- ers at the convention, where he will present his research paper on "A Temperature-Modulated Potential Probe for Use in Elec- tron Tubes." Dr. Hare, former head of the physics department at Union College, was on the UC staff from 1946-1956. He is presently located at Stanford University, Stanford, California. Approxi- mately three-fourths of his time is spent in research work on vacuum tubes and transistors and one-fourth in teaching in the physics department. While on the campus, Dr. Hare lectured in the general and modern physics classes and was the guest speaker at Megacycle Club Saturday night. Union Receives Grant From Esso Foundation Two thousand dollars was given to Union College following its selection by the Esso Educa- tional Foundation to receive one of 345 grants totaling $1,332,760 given to non-tax supported col- leges and universities. The grant to Union College is without re- striction except that it be used to meet expenses directly associ- ated with undergraduate educa- tion. The Esso Foundation was es- tablished in 1955 by the Stand- ard Oil Company and a group of domestic affiliates to assist pri- vately supported colleges and universities in the United States. The total grants of the Founda- tion's three-year existence is over $3,600,000. The grants this year represent an increase of 48 over the previ- ous year with 42 states and the District of Columbia represented in the program. The support in- cludes non-denominational, Prot- estant, Catholic and Jewish col- leges. Selection for and distribution of the money is made by the Foundation's Administrative Committee which is composed of executives of the seven Jersey companies participating. In addition to the grants given to non-tax supported colleges, the Foundation also made capi- tal grants totaling $224,000 and research grants to 22 colleges amounting to $162,360. Furniture Manufacturers Celebrate All-time Record of Production by Loron Wade Last Tuesday, November 5, the College Furniture Manufacturers held a victory picnic in Pioneer Park. The employees and their families gathered to celebrate the biggest month of production in the history of the furniture factory. Over $80,000 worth of furniture was shipped during October, more than at any time since the factory opened in 1940. Mr. R. J. DeVice, factory man- ager, explained that this repre- sents approximately 16 carloads of furniture or a carload every other day. "The foremen and workers are to be congratulated for their ac- complishment," said Mr. DeVice, "especially since the flu was so bad last month." At times, he explained, almost 50% of the workers were affected. September was the second largest month of production for the plant and October set a new all time record. The College Furniture Manu- facturers, which is Union's larg- est industry, employs 127 work- ers and has 14 salesmen cover- ing the United States from Salt Lake City to New York and from Canada to the Gulf. The com- pany sends annual displays to furniture shows in Minneapolis, Omaha, Denver, Kansas City, Dallas, and New York. Local Talent Promotes Union An entourage of nine students and two faculty members left today for Sunnydale Academy where they will give weekend programs. Sponsored by the Pro- motions committee of the college, the group consists of vocal and instrumental talent under the direction of William Haynes of the music staff. Making up the two carloads are Maxine Reed, pianist; Caro- lyn Rhodes, soloist; Laurell Pet- erson, clarinetist; Natalie Dem- ing and Jim Dieringer, violinists; a male quartet consisting of Ron Mohr, Loren Dickinson, Harold Reeder, and Art Dick; Mr. Arthur Hauck, M. C. and narra- tor; and Mr. Haynes. Programs for the weekend will be a sacred concert Friday eve- ning and a secular program Sat- urday night. Mr. Hauck will be the speaker for the Sabbath morning service with members of the group providing special music. Two such trips to each acad- emy in the Union College area are planned this year. / Lyceum To Feature Brother-Sister Piano-'Cello Duo An evening of violoncello and piano duo music is in store for Union College students and fac- ulty as Guy and Monique Fallot present the second Lyceum of the year on November 16. The program will be presented in the college auditorium on Saturday evening at 8:15. Musical Background The musical lives of Guy and Monique Fallot began in Nancy, France, where they were born. Refugees in Switzerland from 1939 to 1945, they won First Prize at the Lausanne Conserva- tory of Music. Guy Fallot was at that time a pupil of Paul Burger. In 1945 they competed in the International Music Com- petition at Geneva and were awarded First Prize in the piano- violin sonata category. On their return to Paris, Guy Fallot en- tered the National Conservatory of Music in the class of Paul Bazelaire and left it that year with a brilliantly won First Prize. During this time his sis- ter was a pupil of Yves Nat. Since that time, Monique and Guy Fallot have been greatly ac- claimed both for their recitals and for their appearances with orchestras in France, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, England, Germany, Austria, Italy, Swit- zerland, Spain, Portugal, Greece, and North Africa. A 1957 world tour adds to these countries, which they are revisiting, first appearances in United States, Canada, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand. Critique Aloys Mooser, eminent Euro- pean critic, wrote of them: "Guy and Monique Fallot are musi- cians whose names are to be re- membered! They share a sensi- tivity, emotive ability, and a rhythmic verve which gives both drive and life to their play- ing. They seek out the meaning of the works they play and add to them authoritatively a sense of the proper declamation and a style which must be the envy of more seasoned artists." Educators Represent 11 NACC Schools More than 150 educators representing eleven Nebraska schools will discuss problems of mutual interest at the annual meeting of the Nebraska Asso- ciation of Church Colleges to be held at Union College, Monday, November 11. Dr. Milo Bail, president of Omaha University and featured speaker of the meeting, will ad- dress the teachers on the sub- ject The Efficient Use of Physi- cal Facilities and Staff. Mr. Ver- non Dunn, Union College treas- urer and business manager, will give a brief talk on Union's in- dustries and work program. A tour of the industries will fol- low as part of the program. On Monday afternoon discus- sion groups will be organized with educators joining groups in their own particular fields. Head- ing the groups will be: English— Miss Virginia Spull, Union Col- lege; Business Administration— Dr. Edwin Prauner, Midland Col- lege; History—Mr. J. I. Dowie, Luther College; Physical Educa- tion and Athletics — Luther Schwich, Concordia Teachers' College; Teacher Education—Mr. Milton Evans, Nebraska Wes- leyan; and General Problems- Mr. Carl M. Reinert, Creighton College. The Association will also elect a new president to succeed Mr. Harvey C. Hartman, former Union College and Association president. Dr. Paul A. Zimmer- man of Concordia Teachers' Col- lege is now the acting president. A brief concert by the Union Col- lege Golden Chords Chorale will also highlight part of the meet- ing. The schools to be represented at the meeting are: Dana College, Blair; Doane College, Crete; Hastings College, Hastings; Mid- land College, Fremont; Nebraska Wesleyan University, Lincoln; Duchesne College, Omaha; York College, York; Creighton Uni- versity, Omaha; College of St. Mary, Omaha; Concordia Teach- ers' College, Seward; Luther Col- lege, Wahoo, and Union College, Lincoln. MV Sets New Date For Benefit Supper November 17 is the new date set for the Madagascar benefit supper in the college auditorium. Sponsored by the College View Missionary Volunteer Society, the supper was originally slated for October 27 but capitulated to the schedule-wrecking flu virus. The MV society hopes to raise $600.00 for its part of a world- wide project to provide new fa- cilities for the government-con- demned school on the island of Madagascar. The overall goal is $26,000. Beginning at 5:30 p.m., the supper will be served until 7:00. _ Sam Campbell's forest philosophy was reiterated to a capacity audience in the college auditorium Saturday night, November 2, in his film-lecture, "The North Country, Land of the Voyageur." The widely-read author of books on animal antics reappeared for the annual Academy Home and School benefit. Mr. Campbell is shown autographing his latest book for Pastor M. W. Deming. CLOCK TOWER, NOVEMBER 8, 1957 faata by Sally Saturley I would like to coll Mr. Kelley's attention to Webster's deft definition of ominous and silence. "Ominous: Being or exhibiting an omen; portentous; foreboding or foreshowing evil; inauspicious; as: an ominous dread," or silence. "Silence: 1. State of keeping or being silent; Forbearance from speech or other noise; muteness. 2. Absence of mention a) Oblivion; obscurity b) Secrecy; Failure to make something known. 3. Absence of sound or noise; stillness." Really I am absolutely crushed to think that you would accuse me of being 'ominously silent' and of having something up my sleeve. You should know that I would never on this earth do a thing like throw brickbats at you (unless I had a chance). My, oh, my, did we have the flu or did we have the flu? We in North Hall had what you would call an epidemic from the word go. At the peak, I am told, there were well over 100 girls down at one time. Right here, we must take time out for a great big 'thank you' to several people without whose help we might not have made it. First, the nurses, not only those who came in from the village to help, but our own nurse and all her able assistants. Second, to Miss Whitfield and those who helped her with the food and its dis- tribution. Maybe you think that trying to feed over a hundred sick girls (and the fellows besides), isn't much of a job. Just try it some- time. Then, too, we must thank Mrs. M. W. Deming, our pastor's wife, who spent several afternoons in the dorm, rubbing backs and spreading good cheer in general. Miss Helen Gates, girls' Physical Education instructor, was also in North Hall, pitching in with a help- ing hand wherever it was needed. Betty Logo heads the list of celebrities of the week with her temperature of 104.4. Others topping the 104 mark were Sharon Huso and Carolvn Carrick. An honorable mention goes to Cherie Adair with a 103.8. With the words "To the mother with the mostest children," Billie Haynes presented Miss Remley with a birthday present from her daughters of North Hall. This was one of the highlights of the party held in honor of Dean Remley's birthday (mentioned in last issue). Each week we would like to close this column with a bit of college knowledge. It will be just a little something that may, we hope, tax everyone's thinking powers just a little bit. This week's bit of parting advice: Put water on your comb. Elementary School Open House Slated tor Nov. 12 The Elementary School Open House, formerly scheduled for November 4, will be held Tues- day evening, November 12. The new building will be open for inspection from 7:00 p. m. until 9:00 p. m. The visitors will tour the building in groups, view the displays and material in each room, and visit the teachers. The building was completed for the opening of school Sep- tember 3 for grades 3-8. Grades One and Two moved into the new quarters last May. The school has an enrollment this year of 179 pupils with six full-time teachers. Mr. Gerry Thompson, the principal, teaches part-time in Grades 7 and 8. Other teachers in the school are Miss Iris Donaly, Miss Elaine Schander, Mrs. Lottie Warren, Mrs. Cleo Swart, Miss Maude Reid, and Francis Chase. Mrs. Autumn Miller conducts classes and the supervised teaching pro- grams for those majoring in ele- mentary education on the college campus.

Rough terrain shows the progress of the current road project. The bulldozer and truck shown have been in constant use since this section of the campus has been undergoing changes for the new road. Nominating Committee by Bob Bockman The Nominations and Elec- tions Committee — a relatively, unsung, unheralded organiza- tion—really has quite a large part in the affairs of other stu- dent-staff bodies. Meeting on Wednesday morn- ings at 10:15, its members sug- gest, nominate, and finally ap- prove the names that appear on most major ballots. The fin- ished ballots are then posted on the ASB bulletin board several days prior to the voting date. Because of its power in de- termining who will be candi- dates for offices, the committee's influence upon elections is ob- vious. In this respect its mem- bers try to act as true repre- sentatives of the students. The committee sponsor, Miss Floda Smith, urges that the stu- dent body suggest names of de- sired candidates to any of the committee members. Miss Smith is the chairman of the group with John Evans as vice chair- man, and Velma Jean Knauss as secretary. Members of the committee are Jerry Aso, Judy Crofoot, Lora Wood, Don Berglin, Bernice Kerkhoff, Don Bunch, Tom Bringle, Carolyn Smith, Kenny Morford, Darrell Lang, Gary Ballard, Myrna Kahler, Dale Mock, Anne Whitsett, Melvin Campbell, Sarah Anders, Pat Peterson, Jim Maxwell, Frank House, Lola Cleveland, Bob Huffer, George Sharpe, Evelyn Saulsbury, Janice Schmierer, Linda Hayman, Marvin Waite, Velma Knauss, John Evans, Miss Pearl Hall, Dr. D. K. Brown, and Miss Floda Smith. Sports Short Football is here and practically gone for this year. Because of the frequent rains, intramural foot- ball at Union College has had some trouble surviving this year. But in spite of all the obstacles, five teams have been organized and have played a number of games.

Speaking on the subject, "Op- portunities for Business and Sec- retarial Students in Denomina- tional Work," Elder Carcich of- fered suggestions on how best to prepare for employment in de- nominational institutions. According to Beta Kappa Pres- ident Bob Kelley, the suppers are to be a regular function of the club throughout the year fea- turing representatives from lead- ing business firms. On Sunday, Monday and Tues- day of this week business and secretarial students attended the Midwest Business Show in the Paxton Hotel in Omaha. On dis- play were the latest develop- ments and techniques in office machines. Possibilities of a banquet and membership dues were items dis- cussed at the regular meeting of the Business Club Wednesday, November 6. Also considered were a club party and the second semester tour of business estab- lishments. Omaha, Kansas City, and Lincoln were suggested as choices for the trip.

One of the Union College Academy instructors has been quoted as saying that "Union College Academy students are mentally and physically lazy." If this remark is to be taken at face value then it is certain that the academy students should take it as a direct chal- lenge to them, and they should strive to disprove this disparaging remark. Is there any justification for such a remark in our school? It might be pointed out that most of the academy students have at one time or other complained about "This crummy school." The aforementioned instructor has pointed out that we are the school. Therefore, as it might be expressed in algebraic symbols: if A=C, and C = B, then B=A. That is to say, if the school is "crummy" it is not altogether the responsibility of the administration, but it is our responsibility as well. Webster defines the word "school" as "the body of pupils attending." Thus we are not very compli- mentary when we complain of the faults of the school, for we are actually pin-pointing our own fault:. At some time or other we have all been asked to accept some responsibility. More often than not, I fear we have been guilty of saying, "No, I don't have time." But should we put everything ahead of trying to improve the environment in which we spend a good portion of our lives each year? If we want a good school, a school with something of which we may be justly proud, a school with real "school spirit", then let's remember this: "We can't be a howling success by simply howling." UCA Chapter of ATS Reaches 100% Membership Goal The Union College Academy chapter of the American Tem- perance Society has attained a goal of one hundred per cent membership. In a rally which marked the conclusion of weeks of planning and preparation by the officers, virtually everyone pledged or gave their member- ship fee, and those who did not participate at that time were contacted and signed up later. Vernon Usher, president; Myr- na Howe, vice-president; Rich- ard Griffitts, treasurer; Becky Anderson, secretary; Linda Ad- ams, assistant secretary; and Mr. Neville George, sponsor; have not only put over the member- ship drive for ATS, but have many other activities planned as well. In the future there will be Jingle, Essay and Oratorical con- tests. ATS Victory Celebration Mr. Neville George, ATS spon- sor, estimated that there were some fifty to fifty-five students out for the Victory Celebration party. Held in the College View Seventh-day Adventist Church Annex on Saturday night, Oc- tober 12, the celebration was a party in honor of the fact that the UCA ATS reached its goal of one hundred per cent mem- bership in the society. Those present played games such as: "Winkum," "How Do You Like Your Neighbor," and ran some different kinds of races. Delbert Conrad proved his superiority over the group in a game of "Musical Chairs." Lassie Bringle and Larry Raus- ten were blindfolded, and they then fed each other some char- coaled marshmallows. Charley Wilson again upheld the superi- ority of the men in a pie-eating race against Becky Anderson. Students and faculty contin- ued to share the activities to- gether in a march led by Mr. Berlin. After a strenuous march, table games were played and hot chocolate and popcorn balls were served for refreshments.

They were met at the plant by a guide who led them on an in- spection tour of the plant. While crawling between pipes and gauges, and climbing up and down stairs, the students traced the history of a drop of water before it is labeled "fit for hu- man consumption." Surprised faces peered into the great fur- naces, and many of young ladies complained of the steam which they feared would cause their curls some discomfort. In the period of an hour, the students, and Mr. Hartley Ber- lin, their instructor, completed their visit to the plant and after having had a chance to have their questions answered, they returned to College View.

'02 Since 1924 Facing South Hall UC Social Policies Discussed by Student-Staff The past two weeks have brought little new business to the agenda of the Student Staff Council. The meeting held October 20, was primarily a discussion of the plan suggested by Melvin Schultz. The plan in question was one proposing a change in the social policy of students at Union College. No conclusions were drawn by the group as yet; the problem will be investigated and studied further at the next meeting. A committee on revision of the A.S.B. Constitution made its re- port by making recommenda- tions to the A.S.B. officers. The A.S.B. has a separate committee studying the proposed changes. The Student Staff Council in- vites any constructive sugges- tions any students may have for the development of a better school. CLOCK TOWER, NOVEMBER 8, 1957 UCA Students Share in Missions Field Day On the morning of October 16, 51 students turned out for the annual Missions Appeal Day. In the devotional which preceded the actual solicitation, Mr. R. A. Johnson pointed out that it was a day that would be hard work and at times disappointing, but that the effort put forth would be worth while. The students divided into groups and went out with friends and faculty of the academy. Approximately 1400 pieces of literature, informing the sur- rounding area of the work the Seventh-day Adventist Church carries on during the year, were given out. The total amount col- lected was $137.22. Third Polio Shot Given UCAites All Shot? Not quite, but on October 14 many of the UCA group took the chartered bus down to the City Health Depart- ment for the third in their series of polio injections. Although it was an old experience for all of those present, there were still pale faces among the weaker set. Mr. R. A. Johnson, who accom- panied the group, although he was not eligible for the shots himself, remarked that this was the "most efficient and fastest trip the group had been able to make." The students returned to their classes with somewhat sorer left arms for a short time.

UJiik. *)otL It was truly a "blessed week-of-prayer." At its close, the en- tire student was found "standing for God," surging forward to be dedicated and consecrated to the service of Jesus Christ. For many it was a victorious and triumphant experience. How can these victories be retained? How can continual prog- ress be made in Christian living? The same Jesus who forgives sin gives power to keep from sinning. To the disgraced and disheveled young woman dragged before Him for confirmation of the death penalty imposed against her, Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." It was not that He absolved her from blame, but from guilt. It was not that He condoned the sin, but He forgave the sinner. His voice sounded like sweet healing music for a sin-sick heart. From that moment, she was a changed person. She dried her tears, lifted her head, murmured her gratitude, and walked off triumphant with her eyes shining like the stars, for she had experienced one of the great- est miracles of all—forgiveness. Moreover, by heaven's power, she was determined to "sin no more." "After union with Christ has been formed, it can be preserved only by earnest prayer and untiring effort. We must resist, we must deny, we must conquer self. Through the grace of Christ ... we must gain the victory." TV 231. Each morning report to the "commander-in-chief."

Each evening report again with a request for mercy and forgiveness to cover every failure and a word of thanks for every triumph. Christ's imparted righteousness will give power for every day. The Lord Jesus, and YOU present an unconquerable combina- ation to the world. He is "able to keep you from falling and to pre- sent you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy." Jude 24. Students of Union College, accept your marching orders. Under the command of Christ your king: "Rise up, O youth of God! Have done with lesser things; Give heart and soul and mind and strength To serve the King of kings. Rise up, O youth of God! His kingdom we will throng; Bring in the day of brotherhood And end the night of wrong. Rise up, O youth of God! The church for you doth wait, Through Christ we're equal to the task Rise up, He'll make her great! Lift high the cross of Christ! Tread where His feet have trod. As children of the Son of man Rise up, 0 youth of God!" Apologies to Wm. Merrel Robert M. Whitsett OJloc omcv EDITORIAL STAFF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF . ASSOCIATE EDITOR ASSISTANT EDITOR ASSISTANT EDITOR .

If we were to count up the sacrifices that are required for each student to make in order to attend Union College, we might find ourselves pondering the question "Is it worth it?" From the stand- point of a non-Christian, I am sure the answer would be negative; yet to one who seeks to prepare himself for service to his God there can only be one answer. We know why we are here rather than at a public university. A Christian school brings to us benefits that no other could ever offer—association with those of like faith; preparation for service to God; and the strengthening of our faith in missionary activities, prayer bands and worship services. To those who are searching for these things and the value which they bring, the conclusion must be that no sacrifice is too great and no effort too small. But our money is wasted, our time lost and our energy fruitless if we fail to take advantage of every opportunity. Not only ore we losing, but we are harming our fellows by not living what we believe. A careless act, a thoughtlessly spoken word, an irreverence in prayer may indicate to others and God whether or not the sacrifices that have been made for us to come to a Christian college are "worth it." J Mc by Jerry McManus In the epic struggle of man for survival, a new chapter is opened to CLOCK TOWER read- ers in this issue—the conflict be- tween columnists. This poor, frightened fifth col- umnist (or third if you count by numbers) on the back page has been subtly attacked by Mr. Data from page three. My only defense would be "great ideas are made known by their imitations." Continuing, then, after a stronghold has been gained, here is another column of FILLER . . . by Phreitas. Significant in American his- tory last month was the exit of two top government men. The first to resign was Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson. Newsmen are going to miss "En- gine Charlie." What other man is so adept at the art of "open mouth, insert foot?" He will long be remembered for his talent of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Another to pass was Attorney General Herbert Brownell, Jr. His resignation was delayed a few weeks by the Little Rock incident, but he has now offi- cially retired to private life. As reported by Time magazine in their October 21 issue, there is a different kind of joke going around. These jokes are vari- ously called the Bloody Mary, sick stories, or gruesome jokes. Call them what you will, but here is an example: Apart from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play? During the recent flu epidemic Union produced one of its own: So you have the flu. If you're lucky it may develop into pneu- monia; they can cure that. And so with that passing thought ... This week, "These Faces in the Crowd." Margie Huffer, freshman nursing student from Denver, is a little girl with a lot of go. Now under consideration in committees of the ASB is a plan that may change almost entirely the organization of the student association. In the proposal being studied a new constitution would be patterned after the United States constitution. Direct representa- tives of students would compose a House of Representatives. Staff members would function as Sen- ate. All functions of the ASB would be under the direction of this legislature. Direct representation would include one representative out of every twenty students. The constituency would be divided by geographical location with each student knowing who his representative is and each rep- resentative knowing who he rep- resents. Advantages of this type of sys- tem as pointed out by a sub- committee of the student-staff council are these: 1. It would be more efficient than the present system. In or- der to become effective now a measure must go through the student-staff council, the ASB executive committee, the admin- istrative council and the entire student body. In the suggested plan only Senate and House ap- proval would be necessary. 2. It would guarantee against the pigeon-holing of any meas- ure. Committees would be re- sponsible to the legislature and be required to make a report. 3. It would be more demo- cratic. Direct representation in a workable size organization would give the individual more voice in working out details than is possible in full assembly ASB meetings now. 4. It would be more educa- tional by providing leadership opportunities for more students. (There would be approximately 40 in the House of Representa- tives.) A bill could originate in either house and would become effec- tive as soon as it had passed through both. If a bill were not passed in both houses or if it were passed in a different form, a joint committee would be re- quired to work out an acceptable measure. The ASB president would pre- side over the House of Repre- sentatives. The administrative function of the proposed plan would be handled by the ASB officers. The CLOCK TOWER and GOLDEN CORDS would be de- partments of the administration. This proposed plan for a new ASB constitution will not be worked out in detail until it is brought before the ASB in full assembly. Then, if the develop- ment of a new constitution is approved a special committee will probably be set up to actu- ally draw it up.

Union is now "back on its feet" with nearly all students again attending classes Monday morning, October 29. "If you want to get something done, just ask a busy man to do it." A great many Unionites in the last 4 years have evidently believed the truth of the old say- ing and have asked Cleo Johnson to "do it." The Student-Staff Council, Leaders' Forum and both the school's publications, have known the influence of this soft-spoken student. During his freshman year, Cleo gained recognition by win- ning lirst prize for North Amer- ica in the essay contest of the American Temperance Society. The next year he did the same thing, also winning prizes for his posters. Many projects since then have benefited from Cleo's talent at poster making. "They keep me pretty busy at that," he admits, "but that's something I like a lot." Last year he was president and business manager of the CLOCK TOWER. Under his leadership the present plan for financing the paper was achieved. This year he holds the same offices with the GOLDEN CORDS. At Union, Cleo works in the college press as a linotype oper- ator. Occasionally he can be seen riding to work on a unicycle. He lists this strange skill as one of his hobbies. He expects to teach in business, his chosen field, after graduation.
