Guest speaker for the ceremony will be Elder Calvin G. Gordon, '33, returned missionary from the In- ter-American Division. Officers of the junior and senior classes will hang the golden cords during the program which is spon- sored by the Foreign Mission Band. This annual ceremony of the hanging of the golden cords has been held every year since 1906 in honor of those who have left for foreign mission service. Staff Dedicates '59 Golden Cords to Dunn The GOLDEN CORDS for 1959 was dedicated and presented Wed- nesday morning, April 29, at a special convocation in the audi- torium. Dedication of the yearbook was made to Vernon S. Dunn, business manager of Union College, by Phyl- lis Foster, assistant editor of this year's book. Verlene Potter, editor of the '59 GOLDEN CORDS, introduced her staff and presented the annual to the faculty and students. Two new features are evident in the make-up of the book this year. All pictures were printed on offset press, and instead of a hard bind- ing, the cover is made of cloth. Complimentary copies were given to President and Mrs. D. J. Bieber; Dr. G. L. Caviness, academic dean; Miss Virginia Shull, head of the English department and literary advisor of the book; Mr. W. B. Higgins, assistant business man- ager and business advisor of the annual; Union College Press; and the Union College Bookbindery. Calvin G. Gordon Krogstad, Turner To Head GC,CT Business Staffs Arnt Krogstad, a junior business major from Minnesota, has been elected president and business manager of the GOLDEN CORDS for '59-'60.

Missionary Volunteers Sponsor Voice of Youth Series in Lincoln The College View MV society in cooperation with the MV society from the Lincoln City church spon- sored, April 26 to May 3, a series of Voice of Youth meetings at the Capitol Theater. The purpose of the meetings was to present the gospel of Christ through the eyes of youth. Elder James Chase, Associate Secretary of the Radio and Tele- vision Department of the General Conference, presented eight topics of importance concerning current problems, in seven nights and one afternoon meeting. Eight committees of the two MV departments helped with the plan- ning of details of the meetings. Each meeting contained a special feature, three of which were direct- ed by Union College students Charles Randall, Lewis Anderson, and David Sharpe. These features presented such topics as "Touring the World," "Youth on the Witness Stand," and "Our Christian Heri- tage." 'Holiday 1959' To be Presented Tomorrow Night In keeping with the festive spirit of the spring season, the Music de- partment presents "Holiday 1959" tomorrow night in the college aud- itorium. This third annual "Holiday" pre- sentation will depict ten scenes from masterpieces of painting, sculpture, architecture, and music. In front of giant backdrops, stu- dents will pose as the characters in the original work. Each scene will portray its phase of art in the most realistic way possible. Appropriate background music will enhance the story of each scene as It is narrated by Eugene Hermanson. Students from the various de- partments on the campus are co- operating to make "Holiday 1959" one of the most outstanding pro- grams of the year. Fifty-five indi- viduals will be appearing on stage (Continued to page 4, col. 5) Alumni Return to Campus for Weekend U( Nursing Students Demonstrate Disaster Procedures for Ass'n Union College nursing students in Lincoln for the Youths' Congress took time out to give a program on disaster nursing to the Nebraska Nurses' Association. An audience of one hundred nurses and nursing students from hospital schools in the Lincoln area met in the audi- torium of the Public Administration Building. Marcia Peterson showed how cardboard boxes can be converted into trays, back rests, and serving tables. Janet Wing made a house- coat from a blanket and three safe- ty pins. Janet also exhibited impro- vised dressings for severely burned persons and told how these could be sterilized at home. K a e Schoening showed how small babies can be cared for in a refugee shelter and demonstrated an emergency kit to care for moth- ers whose babies are born in camps and shelters.

Guest speaker for the occasion was Elder Boyd Olson, educational sec- retary of the Northern Union Con- ference, an alumnus of Union Col- lege. The honored students, seated in a group on the platform, were those who have a "B" average in all sub- jects and have carried a minimum of 12 hours per semester during two preceding semesters. Freshmen qualify for the honors if they main- tained a "B" average for the first semester of their college work. The group of honorees included 27 freshmen, 39 sophomores, 14 juniors, and 37 seniors. Scholarships Given To Thirteen Students A total of one thousand dollars in scholarships was awarded to thirteen Union College students last week in convocation. The students receiving these grants were chosen by the scholarship committee of the college. The basis for the choosing of these people was scholarship, citi- zenship, and the student's ability to help himself. The recipients of these awards were Carol Lea Arfman, Beverly Byer, Margie Cleveland, Noel Fraser, Valerie Krupsky, Antony Latessa, Bety Loga, Rovert Miller, Marceline Moon, Jean Pine, Doulat Sitanggang, Lois Waterman, and Patricia Johnson.

On the wall of a doctor's office hung a picture of two children looking up at the sun. Underneath were the words, "Look toward the sun and the shadows will fall behind you." How recently we saw shadows—menacing shadows—hanging over Nebraska's capital city! There were hearts that asked, "Will the storm break?" as they anxiously awaited the outcome of the proposed bill for Sunday closing by retail dealers. While a committee met to study the proposal, God's people looked toward the Son—God's Son—and rejoiced to see the shadows fade away. The ominous cloud was dispersed. Shall we rest contented now that bill LB 711 has been defeated and say, "It will never happen here"? Let's not deceive ourselves. We know that it will happen, for we have "a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed." II Peter 1:19. Ellen G. White, writing in the late nineteenth century, says, "The dignitaries of church and state will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday. . . . even in free America, rulers and legislators . . . will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected. Great Controversy, p. 592. On page 593 of the same book she calls this "the last great conflict," and says, "None but those who have fortified the mind with the truths of the Bible will stand through the last great conflict." Yes, the cloud, the shadow, will come again; the storm will break at last. But we are to watch and be ready. "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." Luke 21:28. Jesus will soon return, "for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." Rom. 13:11. M.A. Dampen yourself To stimulate your thinking I offer this word—SPONGE. At the sound of this simple one-syllable utterance, what meanings form in your mind? There's a power in words. Because of the meanings at- tached to certain terms, this is a power of suggestion. Psychiatrists utilize word series to probe the subconscious, to stimulate the memory. Can your gray cells be stimulated to learning by "squeezing" meaning out of a sponge? To my mind a sponge denotes four negative examples. From his ability to soak up liquor, a drunkard is often referred to as a sponge. As a sponge takes in water, so certain gullible people easily take in whatever is said. A third sponge is the one, who, constantly imposing, tries to get something for nothing. "Throwing in the sponge" is a last undesirable thought. Origina- tion from boxers throwing a sponge into the ring to indicate defeat, we associate this term with a failure. Focus your mental vision, however, on this positive quality of a sponge. See this porous, rubbery substance as it lies stiff and dry on a shelf. What can be done to increase its absorbent quality? Obviously, simply to dampen it will make it much more absorbent. Apply this act to yourself. What can be done to increase your ability to soak up more from your classes, to take in more from your worships? Dampen yourself! Before trying to absorb material presented in class, ring yourself out with your studies. Before attending any worship, have your own private devotion. Let the power of suggestion found in the word SPONGE stimulate you to prepare and thus benefit more from what you are offered. Penny Shell Our Debt to Union's Alumni. There is an adage which says, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." Perhaps we could paraphrase this to say, "The proof of any institution of higher learning is in its product." This is particularly true of Union College, for the alumni of this school have established a repu- tation worthy of commendation and emulation. It is axiomatic to say that the students make a school what it is, but this also holds true for the alumni. The influence works both ways; the marks are still there. As we look down the annals of time to the pioneers of this institution, we can not fail to appreciate the vision and courage manifested by those who have gone before us in their efforts to make their ideals a reality. The active faith in Union and in God's purpose for this school is the richest heritage that we, the contemporary students, could inherit. We are indebted to the alumni for their loyalty to the task of unselfish service to God and to their fellowmen. By their devotion to the cause of God an to the Alumni Association, they have shown their interest in the future of Union College, and have made the paths that we should follow more clear. Warner Rice Zhe College View What are your impressions the 1959 GOLDEN CORDS? of Linda Hayman: Having been an editor one year myself, I realize the responsibility that the staff has had and wish to take this oppor- tunity to express my thanks and appreciation for an excellent book. Being a senior, I know this annual will always bring back happy mem- ories of school days. Don Dishman: I think this is one of the nicest GOLDEN CORDS we have had, as far as contents, the printing, and pictures. I must say I'm not too fond of the cover. To me it looks rather cheap. Pat Dalton; I think the printing is much better this year than last. I also think the cover is different. 1 think the color for winter should be another color besides yellow— but that is a little matter. Warren Coen: Last year's cover was better but the method of present- ing the seniors' picture is better in this one. Carolyn Sibley: We can be proud of our annual. This is one of the best we have ever had. The GOLD- EN CORDS staff deserves a big "Thank you" for its work. Ted Hurley: It's really in the bag with that cover, but where is the snapshot section? Glee Conner: It's a fine publica- tion. The cover is quite different, but progressive. The pictures and arrangement are excellent, I think. John Baugous: I think that the new GOLDEN CORDS has very fine photography and has a speck of originality, especially on the cover. I have a book covered with such material and it has stood up very well. Congratulations on the hard work. Lorraine Mickelson: The cover is quite unique and quite different from those in the past but I think I will like it. The photography is very good and entertaining in some instances. Bill Swan: Since I am a non-con- formist, the new GOLDEN CORDS perfectly satisfied those tendencies. Not only is the cover In style with the new, modern trends, but the contents of this year's book reflects hours of painstaking planning and compiling. Congratulations, GOLD- EN CORDS staff. t&lm oitttfi* EDITORIAL STAFF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ASSOCIATE EDITOR _ ASSISTANT EDITOR ASSISTANT EDITOR _ FEATURE EDITOR PHOTOGRAPHER SPORTS EDITOR EDITORIAL ADVISOR _ LARRY HENDERSON ANN THOMAS BETH WELLS MAIUE ARCHULETA MARVEL JENSEN FRED SAUNDERS _ DUANE YTREDAL — VICTORIA LARSEN BUSINESS STAFF BUSINESS MANAGER SECRETARY-TREASURER _ ABVHrroiNC MANAGER CXnCULATION MANAGER FINANCIAL ADVISOR _ JACK HARTLEY .

College cAi J See Jt by George Fischer The "cold war" has been domi- nating the world scene for so long that it seems we Americans are deaf to the reports of minor skir- mishes, charges, counter-charges, and strained relations that attend a situation of world tension. We hear of the threat of nuclear war- fare, but it does not alarm us to any great extent because we think, smugly, that the Russians are just as hesitant to initiate a conflict as we are. Frequently incidents occur on various fronts that could well serve to spark an explosion of the powder keg that is our world situ- ation. Diplomacy today indeed must be in the hands of men who are more careful, more infinitely cau- tious than explosive experts. One hasty word or even an inflection could ignite the inferno of a third World War. What does this mean to us at Christians? Still another indication that we are living in a time very near to our Lord's re- turn. Fidel Castro has made his im- pression on the United States. It seemed that wherever he went, crowds gathered to demonstrate and sing rebel songs. The Cuban leader, who has just completed a bloody purge of his government, hastened to assure skeptical Ameri- cans that he had no leanings in the direction of Communism. He defended his absolute rule and dismissed the idea of a free elec- tion in Cuba for at least four years. With the admission of both Alas- ka and Hawaii to the Union as- sured, questions are now being raised as to the status of Puerto Rico, which is now a common- wealth. The Puerto Rican governor, Luis Munoz Marin, has taken a small move toward possible state- (Continued in col. 4) Feature Focus Saluting, CZ) Centrum-jUid 3 J^arAen by Marvel Jensen Advice to all of you graduating senior teachers who have special- ized in English: "In the academies, be conscientious and thorough in your teaching." And for you acade- my students who have let your out- side reading stray from that all- important book to the CLOCK TOWER, we on the lofty college level with intelligence born of hindsight say, "This can also read, 'In the academy, be conscientious and thorough in your learning'." This advice is by courtesy of Miss Victoria Larsen, assistant professor of English at Union College. She is in a very good position to see the results of easy teaching tech- niques (and sloppy studying) in the prep school English classes. Coming from high school in her home town near Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Miss Larsen came to Hutchinson, Minnesota, for a two- year teaching training course. Then she was back in South Dakota, teaching church school. Four years later she decided, as many of our teachers do, to finish her college education and she came to Union. Here she graduated with the class of 1932. This article isn't lengthy enough to permit the story behind her next positions. And I imagine she could write a book about just the three years she spent at Keene, Texas, supervising the seventh and eighth grades or the six years following that which were spent at Oak Park Academy in Iowa. Miss Larsen was Dean of Girls her first two years at Oak Park, besides being registrar and librarian and teaching English. Maplewood Academy called next, their need being for a registrar and librarian. I can just imagine her being a little extra eager to get back to familiar territory. Miss Larsen's pet time-passer is books, and most worn in her personal li- brary are those of Tennyson and Browning, with biographies for pleasure reading. 1947 was an important year for her because that year she received her Master's degree from the Uni- versity of Nebraska. She has also taken graduate work at Northwest- ern University and the University of Missouri. But for us at Union, the impor- tant year was 1955. That year she accepted her present position as assistant professor of English here. She teaches Freshman English, Biblical Literature, Early Renais- sance Literature, and two courses in journalism. Miss Larsen has been of inestim- able aid to those putting out your CLOCK TOWER, for she is its spon- sor and has been "On Call" In this respect for the past four years. Ex- perience in this was gained in school as assistant editor of the paper while she was at Hutchinson, serving as sponsor of the paper and annual at Oak Park and Ma- plewood, and writing: feature ar- ticles for the paper while at North- western. What are some of the Inner re- sources of a teacher? From whence comes the patience to begin every year with a fresh bunch of beings and pound in the same facts? I should think it very trying at times, but teachers never seem to be dis- mayed. Perhaps they all share these views Miss Larsen expressed to me: "Take what will come and be happy about it." "Do your best every day and ac- complish as much as pos- sible." To us on the CLOCK TOWER staff. Miss Larsen is the Tndisoens- able. She has been described bv past staff members as the very pillar of the CLOCK TOWER. Her dependability and encouragement have made her so. but we that work with her know, it is Miss Larsen who gives the CLOCK TOWER its soul. (Continued from col. 3) hood. This is not likely outcome, however, because in a 1952 election, 81% of the electorate voted to con- tinue the present status. If Puerto Rico entered as a state, she would then have to pay federal taxes and this many believe would be the downfall of her economic system.

This program is presented by the Union College Music depart- ment.

The sides of Rees Hall have literally bulged all during the month of April. But the dear building has held up well under the stress and strain. I'm not quite so sure of its occupants though. I heard one girl remark that she wasn't sure she could adjust to having a bed all to herself. Barbara Montgomery, I understand, learned to sleep quite well on top of her desk. Incidentally I think Janet Tucker and Connie Wells did an excellent job of acting as hostesses during the Student Association workshop. They are to be commended for their part in making the program run smoothly. Our sub-conscious minds do strange things to us at times. Sev- eral weeks ago Connie Hodson gave an organ recital. As her contribution to the program, Janet Roller was to turn the pages for Connie. She did this and all went well until that night when she dreamed she had forgotten to get up and turn the page of Connie's music. She started to cry in her sleep, thinking of poor Connie having to go bravely on playing from memory. At six o'clock the next morning she was to wake her roommate, Ann Thomas. However her subconscious self was still at work. At six sharp she called to Ann: "Connie, Connie, it's time to get up." As if there wasn't enough going on to frustrate a person all ready, the senior nurses had to take their state board exams during April. With a worried look, they went to take them, and with a worried loo; they came back again. I heard Joan Frederickson remark that no one from Union had ever failed the exam, and she certainly hoped she would not be the one to break this record. I don't think you need to worry much, Joan. I had to laugh the other day when I passed the room occupied by Dorothy Barley and Connie Hodson. On their door is a little sign which expresses the worn-to-a-frazzel feeling shared by many of us in Rees Hall. It said, "You might as well come in; everything else has gone wrong today!" The favorite color of a large number of girls now is lobster red. If you don't believe this, just take a look at those who have been visiting the Rees Hall sun porch trying to become this color. Outstanding in this group is Millie Reiter. I think though, she is gradually paling a little by now. Too bad Kappa Theta doesn't sponsor some sort of suntan contest. Sunday is Mother's day, and in closing I would like to say in behalf of every girl here in the dorm that we appreciate our mothers very much. Happy Mother's day to each of you.

J^editorA Dear Editor, Just received the April 10 issue of the CLOCK TOWER and was surprised to see no space given to Campion Academy. I am sorry to appear rude, but since this particular academy hap- pens to be my Alma Mater, I would like some explanation for this rather obvious oversight. Thank you, Glenn Dick La Sierra College Dear Mr. Dick, If you will notice again your April 10 edition of the CLOCK TOWER, you will notice that not only was Campion Academy slight- ed but also every other academy in the Central Union Conference. The reason for this rather obvious oversight, as you call it, is that the Central Union Academies did not visit our campus at the time the Northern Union seniors did. In the on-campus April 24 issue of this publication, you will find ample coverage for your former abode. We are mailing you the in- sert of this edition.

This writer has just returned from a very wet bivouac (Medical Cadet Corps) and does not feel very journalistic; however the deadline was one hour ago so here it goes. May we first elaborate on said bivouac as many of Sigma Iota Kappa were involved. The men left early Friday morning to spend the com- plete weekend in shelter halves and pup tents in the heavily wooded area southwest of Lincoln. Sabbath services were held in the open by Col E. N. Dick. Rain drove the men to the company tent for the afternoon meeting, however, and Saturday night about 2 inches of rain fell in approximately two hours. But nevertheless we had a profitable time and gained valuable experience. Question of the weekend: what happened to Ed Lamb's flashlight just before guard duty? Undoubtedly most of you are wondering about the array of bearded bards at the top of this column. The healthy growths you see brought to each of their owners five dollars. It has been six weeks since the Beard Growers' Association of Sigma Iota Kappa was formed and the contest began. The meeting which climaxed the contest was opened by President Rex Turner. The introduction of Emcee A. Hauck, Speech department head, followed the devotions which were presented by club pastor, Noel Fraser. Five lovely young ladies of Kappa Theta sat behind the judging table and were introduced by vice president Jerry Aso. Judges Phyllis Foster, Donna Ray, Beth Wells, Jane Nowack, and Penny Shell all agreed that deciding who the recepients of the five-dollar prizes were to be was extremely difficult. Beth Wells brought the house down when she asked If she might feel Eugene Preston's beard, and emcee Hauck didn't help matters when he asked Dean Culver if such was in accordance with rules. Jane Nowack also suggested that Warren Coen's (see picture above) might be transplanted, and Don Allen mentioned that he had grown rather attached to his. The contest was divided into two main sections: heavy and light beards. The section in which the contestant was placed was deter- mined when he entered the' contest. Each section was further divided into two parts at the judging; thus giving a prize for both the heaviest growth and most uniquely trimmed beard of each section. In the pic- ture above we find the four prize winners. In the heavy section winners were: most uniquely trimmed, Warren Coen; heaviest growth, Jim Sasser. In the light section winners were: heaviest growth, Ed Kemena; most uniquely trimmed, Don Allen. So thus is ended the Beard Growers' Association of S.I.K. Many, however, are keeping theirs for the centennial which is being cele- brated this week, and it is rumored that some have grown so attached to theirs that they are going to keep the addition indefinitely. May the subject be changed abruptly and apologies be made to residents of California, both permanent and transitory, for the remark in this column of the last issue concerning- weather of that fair state. Actually, it seems that said residents have enjoyed fine weather and a clear .sky all winter and that which was mentioned last issue was not true to form. News flash: "Spring fever epidemic sweeps through South Hall." Actually, that is old news and here is one remedy: move to the lawn for afternoon study. And that is what many do; however, the cool water of the sand-pits is always very tempting. Rex Turner, Don Duncan, and this writer claim the first expedition there this spring, and it may be said that the water is cold! Excuse the poetry but perhaps you will appreciate the philosophy of this verse also: There is so much good in the worst of us And so much bad in the best of us That it hardly becomes any of us To talk about the rest of us. And we shall close with our point to ponder: The future can easily be destroyed if one undertakes the pursuit of his own selfish pleasures and wishes from day to day.

The film depicted wild life in the great frozen expanses of the Arctic, showing the struggle for existence by these sturdy animals of the far North. The animals of this region ranged in size from the tiny, mouse-like lemming to the two-tho.usand-pound walrus with a hide sometimes approaching three inches in thickness.
