WCLOOj JtMOj Vol. XLI Patton Joins YOP Quartet Jerry Patton, Union College mu- sic education major, has accepted the invitation to fill the position of second tenor in the King's Heralds Quartet. Jerry, a native of Cedaredge, Colo., has been interested in music since die age of four, when he be- gan singing in and leading choral groups for Home and School pro- grams. At Campion Academy he participated extensively in musical organizations as he has while at Union. Some may remember him for his humorous rendition of "Old Mother Hubbard," performed in the style of Handel. Six tenors were to compete for the position in the quartet. Jerry flew to the Voice of Prophecy stu- dios for his audition and was given his acceptance the same day. After graduation, Jerry, his wife and three children plan to move to Glendale. The present quartet will be on tour until Aug. 9, according to Jer- ry. When they return, Jerry will then begin his official role in the quartet, their first performance be- ing on Aug. 11. Jerry hopes only two clays of rehearsal will prove successful. Estimated traveling time per year for the quartet is five or six months. Jerry's plans before accepting his position in the quartet were to teach music at Highland View Academy in Maryland during the coming school year. The Unionaires are presently working on a composition written by Jerry, "Behold. He Shall Come," a relatively modern styled piece. Jerry enjoys all facets of music, but singing is his "specialty." UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, MAY 11, 1967 No. 26 MV Tops Goal For Student Missionary (Photo by Bud Gooch) Bill Chamberlain (left) and Don Roth have big plans for spending the student missionary campaign funds. The MV Society has reached their goal of $1750 for the student missionary project. According to Don Roth, student missionary committee chairman, ap- proximately $1935 has been re- ceived to sponsor the two 1967-68 student missionaries. "There is still over ,$100 to be collected," stated Roth. Part of the money above the goal will be used to ship Sabbath school and educational supplies to the San Bias Islands where Karla Krampert will be spending part of her summer. Elder Leslie Scofield is sending a list of medicines which he needs for the Luminar II, the mission launch which Jerry Mit- UC Delegates Attend Prayer Breakfast A Student Leadership Prayer Breakfast will be held in the Omaha Room of the Nebraska Cen- ter for Continuing Education, May 13. The breakfast is sponsored by the Layman's International Chris- tian Leadership Council. Several delegates from Union College will attend. The Student Leadership Break- fast is a collegiate counterpart of the Presidential Prayer Breakfast inaugurated 14 years ago by the United States Senate and House of Representatives Leadership groups. Governors' Prayer Breakfasts are now being held in most of die 50 states. It is rapidly becoming an annual event for mayors and offi- cials of cities throughout America. The purpose of the breakfast, ac- cording to Jack Krogstad, ASB president, is to impress on die minds of student leaders that re- ligion is important to many of our nation's leaders. It is to make them take a second look at Christianity as a vital force in their lives. James F. Bell, attorney from Washington, D.C., will be the main speaker. Bell, a graduate from Har- vard, is now a partner in the law firm of Pogue and Neal and spe- cializes in practice before Federal agencies. After Bell's address, there will be a panel discussion. The panel will consist of prominent leaders in government, business and the professions in Nebraska. The group will dien divide tip into small groups for discussion. UC-AU Summer Tour Will Visit Europe T h e Union College-Andrews University European tour is pro- gressing as planned, according to Dr. George P. Thomson, who is in charge of organizing the tour. The 1967 tour will begin on June 12 and last until Aug. 15. The places which will be visited are much die same as those which were visited last summer. The tour group will leave New York City late in the afternoon of June 12 and fly by jet to Madrid. From Spain they will travel to Italy where they will visit Rome, Naples and Pompeii. Then they will go on to Athens in Greece. From June 21-23 die group will stay at Middle East College over- looking the city of Beirut. They will cross die mountains by bus to see Baalbek and Damascus. In Jordan the group will visit Je- rusalem, Bethlehem, Jericho and Petra. Mount Sinai and Cairo will be the main points of interest in Egypt. In Moscow the group will visit the Kremlin and see Red Square. From Russia they will travel to Scandinavia where they will tour Copenhagen and Oslo and visit a Seventh-day Adventist school in Norway and the Skodsborg San- itarium in Denmark. From July 16-24 the group will be in Germany and Austria visiting East and West Berlin, Dusseldorf, Cologne, Bonn, Marienhohe Sem- inary, Rothenburg, Dachau, Mun- ich and Nassereith. A week will be spent in Italy and Switzerland where the tourists will visit Venice, Florence, Milan, Geneva and see die leaning Tower of Pisa. Then they will go to France, Bel- gium and Holland and visit Paris, Interlaken, Amsterdam, Delft, the battlefields of Waterloo and Brus- sels and the Normandy Beaches. England is the last country they will visit. In England they will visit London, Newbold College and Shakespeare's home. Then they will prepare for the jet flight to New York. Because of die large amount of publicity, interested students have been attracted from four of Un- ion's sister colleges. A total of 29 people are going on the tour, most of whom are students, according to Thomson. Interest has also been shown in tours of shorter duration. Several people have written concerning this, and three-or four-week tours are being considered for the near future. According to Krogstad, there are two main reasons for the ASB's support of this program. "First," he said, "it is an opportunity for us to get involved in a community project diat is good. Often we are so involved in our own program, that we tend to neglect good com- munity projects which are an excel- lent means of contacting people we couldn't reach odierwise. This will let people know diat Seventh-day Adventists are interested in Chris- tian projects odier than their own and want to do their part in sup- porting the community. "Second, there will be many there who are not Christians, and having students there who know Christ will help direct the small group discussions." Krogstad also said that a long- lasting effect is hoped for. The pur- pose is not simply a social occa- sion, nor is it limited to simply an inspirational morning. It is hoped by die leaders that the delegates will carry back to the campuses the diings they have learned. The discussion groups will be centered on the practical aspects of applying Christianity on a college or univer- sity campus.

Plane reservations for May 31 have already been made for Karla. Due to difficulties in obtaining a draft deferment for Jerry Mitchell, his plane reservations have not vet been made. Bill Chamberlain has been in charge of the student missionary finances. Working closely with him has been Karen Lane and Jan Grif- fin in Rees Hall, Dennis Fisher and Alan Loewen in South Hall and John R. Baker and Wayne Vorhies in the village. Other students have helped collect the money. From information available at the recent MV Workshop at An- drews University, Union College is the only college whose student missionary program is financed by voluntary contributions. "The stu- dent body is more personally in- terested and responsible for the stu- dent missionaries if they help raise the money to support them," Roth explained. Other schools finance their student missionaries widi ben- efit programs, sales, films and other money-raising projects. Officers, Editors Attend Workshop The Eastern Intercollegiate Workshop was held at Southern Missionary College May 3-5. The workshop featured section meet- ings for ASB executive officers and publications editors and general sessions for the purpose of devel- oping new ideas and discussing them. Don Bush, president-elect, of the ASB at Union College, Linda Ster- ing, vice-president-elect, and Har- vey Kilsby, treasurer-elect, attend- ed the section meetings held for the administration. They discussed such topics as intercollegiate talent programs as a means for bringing the schools closer together and problems in student-faculty rela- tions and communications. Glenn Sackett, 1968 Golden Cords editor, participated in the section meetings of yearbook ed- itors. The editors discussed budg- ets, cover and layout designs and photographic and literary content for successful yearbooks. The meetings for die paper ed- itors were very interesting and ben- eficial according to Phil Brailsford, 1968 CLOCK TOWER editor. They discussed the problems involving editorial policies. The main con- cern was the conflicting interests of the paper as a voice of the students and as a public relations function of the college. 2 CLOCK TOWER May 11, 1967 GUEST EDITORIAL Controversial J^ole3 o/ the CT) The dominating problem looming on the horizon of any prospective editor of the CLOCK TOWER, as well as those of other college newspapers, is the controversial role of this paper. On the one hand, inherent in the term newspaper, is an obligation to report newsworthy items of campus interest and to specify the nature of coming events. Yet the public relations role of the paper tends to inhibit the free reporting of certain campus occurrences. To complicate matters even further there is a group com- monly termed "the field" which must be continually assured that all is well at "good old Union," A common ingredient of the CLOCK TOWER during the past several years has been letters, editorials and articles question- ing the validity of various accepted norms and modes of be- havior on this campus. After a close analysis of the situation it seems that there are three possible solutions to this situation arising largely be- cause of the efforts of the editors to fill a multi-purpose role. A superficial solution to many of the editors problems could be obtained by limiting the circulation of the CLOCK TOWER to the campus. This would immediately create a drastic decrease in the number of copies required and hence an insur- mountable financial deficiency. Assuming a hypothetical situation whereby it could be made financially feasible to limit the paper's distribution, a number of opportunities would be opened up to the editor. First, the paper would not be bound to report items with which the whole campus is already familiar. "Second, the "letters to the editor" columns could be ex- panded and the discussion of campus-oriented problems stim- ulated. Third, the conflicts between the true image of Union Col- lege today and the memories of the college retained in the minds of alumni would not occur. Going to the other extreme, the editors could formulate a strict working policy whereby every article is judged solely on its merit in picturing Union College as the acme of academic and spiritual virtue. This would undoubtedly please many of our off-campus readers and satisfy many parents. It is felt that the majority of our readers are r e ally in search of an honest evaluation of Union College and would not be deceived by a white-washing campaign. Furthermore the editors are firmly convinced that Union College is the best college and hence any form of cover-up would be detrimental to this image. We thus find this solutioti to be inadequate. Thus, we find ourselves confronted with the age-old prob- lem of finding a satisfactory mean between these two extremes and formulating a workable policy for the operation of the •paper. At the recently concluded Eastern Intercollegiate Work- shop, similar problems were discussed by the newspaper com- mittee and a tentative solution was agreed upon. This solution was presented to the workshop as a whole and was approved unanimously. It was recommended that an insert-sheet be printed solely for campus distribution, permitting the inclusion of such let- ters and articles that would be considered unsuitable for off- campus distribution (to be determined at the discretion of the editorial staff). Now our well-wishers and cynics alike may conceivably question the ethics behind this obtrusive demarkation between the material which would be presented to our readers. In an attempt to answer this objection we might well turn our attention to the analogous situation presented in a family. It is considered well within the bounds of the accepted stand- ards of social ethics to present the same bright front to the neighbors regardless of the internal situation. It is hoped that our readers both on and off campus will consider the factors presented and will feel free to acquaint the editorial staff with any additional information regarding this problem.

J^etterA ZJo Z)lie Cditor Paralyzed Freedom The pursuit of life, liberty and happiness includes the pursuit of healdi. Without health, life, liber- ty and happiness become just so many words. We are often mis- taken in our evaluation of our freedoms under die Bill of Rights in the Constitution; we have mis- construed those famous ten amend- ments in thinking diey guarantee something to us. This conception- die so-called "guarantee of free- dom of speech," etc.—paralyzes our judgment and curtails and obstructs our eternal struggle for freedom. The Bill of Rights actually consists of a series of prohibitions by free men against oppressive encroach- ments on dieir God-given rights by their servants in public office on the federal level. "Congress shall pass no law abridging . . .," This is the language of the Bill of Rights; an order of a sovereign peo- ple to their elected officials. In diis age of prolifering bureau- cratic regulations and medical monopolies—s h o u 1 d not our vig- ilance extend to all four factors of the above-mentioned pursuit, so that none of them be abridged? Phdip Johnston, senior sociology major Student Center Misuse The Student Center is undergo- ing a transformation. The imple- ments placed there for recreation are being converted into "toys" which are used and then heedlessly discarded. Last week, someone searched for the latest copy of Life but could not find it. He was under the im- pression that the Student Center ordered Life, Sports Illustrated and Look (among others) but he couldn't find one recent issue. Someone had "walked off" with them! He turned next to the stereo. Liking Percy Faith, he selected his album, withdrew the record and set the "platter" spinning on the turntable. But what came forth from those speakers was not Percy Faith! He looked through those al- bums for five minutes and never did find what he wanted. Some- one had carelessly put die records in the wrong jackets, and there were finger prints and scratches all over each record. Next he sought out a friend with whom to play a game of Sorry but when they looked inside the box, most of die game was missing. The only parts left were a few blue markers and a pile of worn-out cards. Consequently, diey did not play Sorry. Students of Union College—take care of your Student Center! It is yours, you know. The money that furnishes that room is your money. The records are bought with your money. The magazine subscriptions are purchased with your money. Other schools seem to manage. The Student Union at Nebraska University has not been expensively re-done in over ten years. It is still in good shape. Two years ago this summer, Un- ion's Student Center was furnished with a new stereo, new games and a new carpet. By May of this year, thirty records (all new) will have been placed there for your enjoy- ment. Yet, all the things which have been furnished in the past are being mistreated. What are you students doing to keep your "living room" in good condition? Someone is wearing out your games (faster than neces- sary)! Someone is carelessly han- dling your records! Someone is con- standy walking off with your mag- azines! Something must be done about this! If diese careless actions con- tinue, the games, magazines and records will no longer be usable. The conservation of the Student Center depends upon Y O UW Dan Goddard, junior theology major Of Blades and Things As an admirer of the good taste and quality displayed in die CLOCK TOWER, I am frankly dismayed at one feature usually displayed on the back page, "On Campus" with Max Shulman. Is it necessary, in the interest of selling Personna Blades, to stoop to the level of the worthless and at times to the realm of the in- decent in humorous writing? It is my opinion that we could be more proud of our paper if more aesthetic reading were sub- stituted for the trash usually found in this department. Certainly the sale of Personna Blades would go up! Leonard Westermeyer, freshman physics major A Vote of Thanks As the year draws to a close, I think that it would be appropriate to express to the editors a few words of appreciation for the work that they have done. Having braved the onslaughts of ... it is hoped that you will all bask in the tranquil bliss of a job well done and nearly over with. A Satisfied Reader Ecumenism-Unity In Christendom BY C. MERVYN MAXWELL "Ecumenism," and its related term, "ecumenical," are two of die most commonly used words today, but they have such various shades of meaning that it may be not ev- eryone knows what they mean, or how Adventists ought best relate themselves to them. The exact word "ecumenism" is rather new arrival in the semantic zoo, having been created by delib- erately shortening its clumsy an- cestor, "ecumenicalism." Ultimate- ly both it and the adjective "ecu- menical" are derived from the Greek word, ecumene, meaning "the entire inhabited world." "Ecumenical" comes in two dis- tinct species, one Catholic and the other formerly Protestant but rap- idly becoming Catholic as well. Back in the early days of church history the Christians summoned a series of "ecumenical" councils, so described because delegates came to them from all over the separate areas. Adventists believe in unity but not in unity at any price. In fact Adventists see the ecumenical movement today as a fulfillment of Revelation's image to the beast, and especially as the fulfillment of Great Controversy, p. 588: "Through these two great errors, the immor- tality of the soul and Sunday sac- redness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of Spir- itualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Prot- estants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of Spiritualism; they will reach over die abyss to clasp hands widi the Roman power; and under the influ- ence of this direefold union, this country will follow in die steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience." How truly diis prophecy is be- ing fulfilled may be seen in a re- cent summary of ecumenical events in the Jewish journal, America, this very spring. This report states, rep- resentatives of the Roman Catholic church will hold meetings with rep- resentatives of the American Bap- tists, die Lutherans, the Presby- terians, the Episcopalians, and, if you please, even die Methodists. Ecumenism, the movement to unite all Christians into one great ecumenical fellowship, is very much alive and on the go in our world today.

He will play Ralf Her- mann's "Concerto for Horn and Band," the same one that he play- ed with the UC Concert Winds. The 90-piece Andrews University band is directed by Norman Krog- stad. • A recent fire caused over $125 damage to a belt-sander in the col- lege furniture factory mill. Electrical wiring and sand belts were burned and aluminum oil tubes were melted. The amount of working time lost was the greatest expense of the fire. According to Ernie McGee, fac- tory foreman, the real cause of the fire is still unknown. "It could have been an electrical short or a build up of sawdust which was set off by friction," he stated. • Last school year over 2,000 vol- umes were added to the Union Col- lege library. This year an average of 50 new books have been placed on the shelves every week and al- ready about $8,000 have been spent. Also slightly less than $3,000 have been spent for most of the 600 periodicals, some being gift subscriptions. • All music lessons will be free for music majors now, according to the Union College Finance Com- mittee. This action will save each music major about $150 a year. Is the Draft in YOUR Future?

Pearson Names Flying Club The Union College flying club received its official title, "The Wings of Union," submitted by Ernie Pearson, junior music major, at die club's last meeting. The name for die club was cho- sen by popular vote from a list of 30 possibilities submitted by stu- dents. The student whose name was chosen was given the choice of one hour of free flight instruction or an airplane ride. The idea for a flying club was first stimulated when it was found that quite a number of students were interested in flying. Orville Baer, flight instructor, began to promote interest in a flying club as more and more Union College stu- dents began to take flight instruc- tion.

Fowler has set forth for the Au- tumn Week of Prayer that be- gins, Friday, Oct. 20. Dr. Fowler says that this is one reason the administrative council chose the religion faculty to lead out in the program. To clarify this state- ment he added, "No one is as cap- able to help a person as some one who knows that person's needs." Dr. C. M. Maxwell, chairman of the department of religion, states that plans are being formed to provide an inspiring week. He believes that the Week of Prayer should provide a meaningful stimulus for each student's spir- itual need. The plan for the fall Week of Prayer is to extend an invitation in such a way that ev- ery student will want to give a positive response for Christ. "Call For You"—Elder Paul Eldridge, president of the Far Eastern Division, gave this chal- lenge to the students of UC at last Friday's convocation. Elder Eldridge has served the last 30 years in the Orient. He is now on a tour of the SDA colleges to de- velop more interest in the need of young workers in the Far East.

(I.P.)—Do col- lege roommates affect each other's academic performance? For certain groups of students, the answer is yes, according to a study on "Roommate Choice and Academic Achievement" recently conducted by Robert A. Pierce, instructor in psychiatry at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and clinical psychol- ogist in the University's Student Health Service. Colleges and universities tend to regard the provision of hous- ing facilities for their students as a service—perhaps more for parents than students—rather than as an educational tool, Dr. Pierce says. However, housing arrange- ments do appear to have educa- tional implications, according to his survey of two groups of stu- dents and their roommates. He found that the students in the by sex and by class, fall semester of a class in Intro- ductory Psychology tended to achieve at a level similar to that of their roommates, but that there were interesting differences when the group was broken down For the overall group, only men's achievement levels were significantly related to those of their roommates. Broken down by class, however, the survey show- ed that freshmen, "who are for the most part arbitrarily assign- ed to each other, tend to accom- modate their level of achieve- ment to that of their room- mates." Among upperclassmen, who are free to choose their roommates, it appeared that "men choose roommates who achieve similar- ly to themselves . . . while women seem to pay no attention to this dimension at all." Repeating the study with the spring semester class and their roommates, Dr. Pierce again found that the overall group tended to achieve at a level sim- ilar to that of their roommates,' as did the freshmen. "But the findings that upperclass men match their levels of achieve- ment even more closely to that of their roommates, or choose room- mates of similar achievement levels, was not borne out in the second study," he said. On the basis of his findings, Dr. Pierce concluded that "among certain groups of students, school achievement correlates positively between roommates" and that "overachievement" probably ac- counts for a fair portion of this effect. (An overachiever was de- fined in the study as a student whose class standing at the end of the semester or of the aca- demic year was higher than his ability as measured by College Board scores.) The latter conclusion was bas- ed on the fact that of the room- mate pairs whose achievements were most similar, nearly half showed mutual overachievement, rather than mutual under- achievement, "convergence" (the COMING EVENTS Friday, Oct. 13, Sunset 6:50 8:00 p.m. Vespers Connie Saunders Paul Betlinski Helmer Heghesan Sabbath, Oct. 14 College View Church 8:30 a.m. 1st church, Elder Adlai Esteb 9:40 a.m. Sabbath School College Gymnasium 11:00 a.m. 2nd church, Elder Adlai Esteb 6:30 p.m. Vespers Saturday Night 8:00 p.m. Stan Midgley brighter student underachieved and the less bright student over- achiever), or "divergence" (the brighter student overachieved and the less bright student un- derachieved). In the total group of students, there were more pairs of mutual over- and under-achievers than pairs showing convergence or di- vergence. This suggests, he said, that "some roommates may ar- rive at a common understanding, perhaps not explicitly stated, about the value of grades and of studying, and then study accord- ingly, thus overachieving or un- derachieving together." On Campus MaxMman {By the author of "Rally Round the Flag, Boys!", "Dobie Gillis," etc.) THERE ARE NO BAD TEACHERS; THERE ARE ONLY BAD STUDENTS The academic year has only just begun and already one thing is clear: you're not ready for college. What, then, should you do ? Should you throw up your hands and quit? I say no! I say you must attack, grapple, cope! I say America did not become the world's leader in motel construction and kidney transplants by running away from a fight! To the question then: You say you're not ready for col- lege. You're too green, too naive. You lack maturity. Okay, the answer is simple: get mature. How? Well sir, to achieve maturity you need two things: a) a probing mind; b) a vest. A probing mind will be quickly yours if youH remem- ber that education consists not of answers but of ques- tions. Blindly accepting information and dumbly memorizing data is high school stuff. In college you don't just accept. You dispute, you push, you pry, you chal- lenge. If, for instance, your physics prof says, "E equals mc squared," don't just write it down. Say to the prof, "Why?" This will show him two things: a) Your mind is a keen, thrusting instrument. b) You are in the wrong major. Ask questions, questions, and more questions. That is the essence of maturity, the heart and liver of education. Nothing will more quickly convince the teachers that you are of college calibre. And the tougher your questions, the better. Come to class with queries that dart and flash, that make unexpected sallies into uncharted territory. Ask things which have never been asked before, like "How tall was Nietzsche?" and "Did the Minotaur have ticks ? If so, were they immortal ?" and "How often did Pitt the Elder shave?" (Incidentally, you may never know the complete an- swer to Pitt the Elder's shaving habits, but of one thing you can be positive: no matter how often he shaved and no matter what blade3 he used, he never enjoyed the shaving comfort that you do. I am assuming, of course, that you use Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades, a logical assumption to make when one is addressing col- lege men—which is to say men of perspicacity, discrimi- nation, wit, taste, cognizance, and shrewdness-for Personna is a blade to please the perspicacious, delight the discriminating, win the witty, tickle the tasteful, coddle the cognizer, and shave the shrewd. (I bring up Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades be- cause the makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades pay me to write this column, and they are in- clined to sulk if I omit to mention their product. I would not like to see them unhappy, the makers of Personna, for they are fine ruddy men, fond of morris dancing and home brewed root beer, and they make a blade that shaves closely and cleanly, nicklessly and hacklessly, and is sharp and gleaming and durable and available both in double-edge style and Injector style. (And from these same bounteous blademakers comes Burma-Shave, regular or menthol, a lather that out- lathers other lathers, brother. So if you'd rather lather better, and soak your whiskers wetter, Burma-Shave's your answer.) But I digress. We have now solved the problem of maturity. In subsequent columns we'll take up other is- sues, equally burning. Since 1953 when this column first started running in your campus paper, we've tackled such thorny questions as "Can a student of 19 find hap- piness with an economics professor of 90?" and "Should capital punishment for pledges be abolished?" and "Are room-mates sanitary?" Be assured that in this, our 14th year, we will not be less bold. • • • © 1967, Max Shulman The makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades (double-edge or Injector) and Burma-Shave (regular or menthol) are pleased (or apprehensive) to bring you another year of Max Shulman's uninhibited, uncen- sored column.

Reece Standard Station 48 and Calvert THE CLOCK TOWER October 13, 1967 Living in San Bias The dormitory lights had just gone out. I and my five Latin American roommates at the SDA college in Costa Rica were just beginning to relax into sleep when suddenly our peace was shattered by the terrifying sound of a girl screaming in her room at the other end of the corridor. "Why is she screaming?'! ask- ed, trying not to let my own fear show. My roommates replied from the one bed into which they had all dived at the sound of the scream, "either a man is trying to come in her window, or she is bothered by evil spirits." The screaming stopped and the hall monitor informed us that the girl had not seen a man but had screamed for no apparent reason. "Good," I thought. "Now we can go to sleep in peace." But my roommates had no such thoughts. The bed in which they were all huddled was shaking like a trem- bling leaf. They were still scared. What was I to do? I knew the girls were much more supersti- tious and fearful of evil spirits than I was. In fact, I didn't really understand why they were scared. But they were so fright- ened that they refused to sleep. For ten minutes we lay in the tense silent blackness. "Don't go to sleep before we do, Karla, please," pleaded one of my roommates. "I know I'll never get to sleep if I know you aren't awake and watching for us," added the twenty-three-year-old, four years my senior. "Okay," I said, groping for my flashlight. After extracting it from my suitcase and finding my Bible, I seated myself on the only chair in the room and began to read Psalm 91 aloud: "He shall cover thee with His feathers and under his wings shalt thou trust; . . . thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night." I continued to read aloud from Psalms. Five minutes later all of my room- mates were asleep. dent missionary? Strange and new were nearly all of my expe- riences during the summer in Central America. My designated post was the San Bias Islands of Panama, but before I arrived there I visited four other coun- tries in Central America. The in- cident related above occurred while I was an organ instructor at the college in Costa Rica, where the piano teachers did not know how to use the new organ the school had recently acquired. In the other countries I visited, I taught English and worked as an office secretary. Each of these preliminary ex- periences was valuable in prepar- ing me for what I was to meet when I arrived at the San Bias Indian Mission in Panama. In this remote and primitive area I found myself teaching first and second graders who wore gold rings in their noses and wore ex- otic and colorful costumes. I felt the tug of a child's hand in mine as I walked through the village of bamboo huts. I heard the eag- er voices of happy children beg- ging me to sing "The Infantry Song" for them again. I had awed old women pulling at my light hair. I prepared antibiotic in- jections and put vaseline on bare feet cut by the sharp coral rocks of the San Bias beaches. But more than anything else, I found what joy there is in dis- covering God and sharing the Saviour with someone else who needs Him and seeks Him. What can compare to having a heart- to-heart talk with a San Bias teenager about his problems and how God can help him solve these problems? What does a student mission- ary meet? He meets a strange new environment, unusual food and a frustrating language bar- rier. He meets nearly impossible demands on his education, expe- rience and adaptability. He meets loneliness and fear. But above all, he meets people and he meets Returned student missionary, Karla Krampert, poses with a group of San Bias children. Nebraska Book and Bible House P. O.

(I.P.)—Pro- posals for an experimental uni- versity such as is already in op- eration at San Francisco State College and Stanford University are embodied in the brief pre- pared for the President's Progress Committee and submitted to the Very Rev. John P. Leary, S.J., Gonzaga University president. Stipulations in the proposal in- clude: 1. A minimum number of stu- dents must register for the course in their major. 2. The course must be under the general area of courses out- lined in the catalogue. 3. The instructor recommended either by the students or the de- partment must be qualified to teach the course and approved by the dean. The report stresses the point that since the students would be actually involved in the selection of course matter and responsible for the creation of the course, they Would be more actively in- volved in the course itself. The main purpose of the proposal is to set up a procedure by which the students may initiate a cur- riculum.
