mttcr Vol. XXXI UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, OCTOBER 11, 1957 No. 2 Missions Promotions Full Participation Predicted In All-college Field Day The students and staff of Union College will conduct their annual Missions Promotion Field Day in the Lincoln area and ad- joining communities on Wednes- day, October 16. Approximately 70 cars will leave for a full day of solicitation in the southeastern Nebraska area early Wednesday morning. The program is under the di- rection of Dr. R. E. Cleveland, chairman, President D. J. Bieber, Dr. J. W. Rhodes, Dr. D. K. Brown, and Elders M. W. Dem- ing, C. R. French, S. F. Pederson, Sydney Allen, and Arthur Hauck. There will be three divisions in the solicitation program: indus- trial superintendents will go to business friends in the commun- ity, students and staff members will cover surrounding towns within an 80-mile radius, and those who do not get to go dur- ing the day will go Wednesday evening to Omaha. Dr. Cleveland states that 100% student and staff participation is expected. This will include those who actually take part in the solicitations, those who do- nate their work, and those who make contributions. To highlight the program, Elder W. R. Beach, General Con- ference secretary, will be here. USSR DEPICTED IN 1ST LYCEUM ON OCTOBER 19 Mr. Charles Sharp Charles Sharp of CBS Network News will narrate the film, "Is this the U. S. S. R.?" in the first lyceum number of the year on Saturday evening, October 19, in the college gym. Mr. Sharp has been associated with Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tem in America for the past four years. He has also made docu- mentary films for the United States Army and the Department of Public Welfare. The informative all-color film 5 the first real film to come out ji Russia in many years. It is based on Sharp's experiences in Russia, Poland, Czecho Slovakia, East Germany, and the South- west Soviet Union in Asia. Scenes of Krushchev, Mikoyan, Zhukov, Bulganin, slums, close- ups of people, schools, factories, Catholic, Jewish, and Baptist church scenes will hold your at- tention. Elder W. R. Beach To Launch Activities Elder W. R. Beach, secretary of the General Conference, will be at Union College October 11-17 to promote the annual Missions field day October 16. When Elder Beach left college, he went to France where he was engaged in the Missionary Vol- unteer work for several years. Later he served in the Southern European Division in the same capacity. Then he was called to the French Union with head- quarters in Paris. While there, he studied at Sorbonne Univer- sity, the largest in western Europe. During World War II Elder Beach with his family lived in Switzerland, and after the war, he became president of the Southern European Division. While in this office, he traveled in many of the countries behind the "Iron Curtain." In 1954 he took up his present position. "Elder Beach is in touch with our global work more than any other worker in the denomi- nation," said Elder Lief Kr. Tobiassen, head of Union's Re- ligion department. Elder Beach will speak to the Ministerial Association tonight in the church annex, and at the Sabbath services tomorrow. He will address the students in chapel on Monday, October 14. Saulsbury, Simmons Awarded Ak-Sar-Ben Scholarships Scholarships amounting to $150.00 each were awarded to seniors Evelyn Saulsbury, of Hemingford, and Jean Simmons, of Lincoln in convocation Friday, October 4. The recipients, unin- formed of the awards prior to their presentation, were chosen by the Administrative council. Given by the Scholarship Com- mittee of the Knights of Ak-Sar- Ben, the awards go to senior stu- dents from Nebraska. Nursing Students Given Stripes In Ceremony The annual Recognition Day program was held on the Colo- rado campus on Tuesday evening, September 3. Miss Pauline Neal spoke of the Seventh-day Ad- ventist Mission and clinic for the Navajos of Monument Valley. These Indians are in need of medical missionary work, and Miss Neal challenged the student nurses to participate in this branch of Christian service. The seniors, wearing their white graduate nurse uniforms, sang the hymn they had selected for their capping service three years ago. Then the lower class- men were promoted. They re- moved their unadorned sopho- more caps and marched to the platform to receive from Mrs. Evelyn Bergman, Associate chair- man of the department of nurs- ing, a cap with a single black velvet stripe to indicate the junior status. The juniors re- ceived their caps with two bands to indicate their senior standing. As a benediction Joyce Huis- man, senior nursing student, read the "Prayer of Maimonid.es." Radio Team Visits UC Campus T I, -i ).. y / h Voice of Propnecy Appears 4 Times The Voice of Prophecy group, under the auspices of the Minis- terial Association, were featured in the chapel hour on Monday, October 7. The King's Heralds quartet sang four selections with Elder H.M.S. Richards, leader of the group, setting the mood for each song. The songs included spirituals and favorite hymns. The quartet concluded with "Jesus, Rose of Sharon". Elder Richards cited the Bib- lical incident of the rich young ruler as an example for the stu- dents to lay aside their material "idols" and make heaven their goal. On Wednesday, October 9, El- der Richards spoke to the Min- isterial Association. He also at- tended the class in fundamentals of broadcasting and answered questions that the students di- rected to him about the tech- nical and operational aspects of a radio broadcast. The Voice of Prophecy group will present a program in the college gymnasium at 3:00 p.m. tomorrow. Vacancies Filled In Special Election Union College personnel cast their ballots in a special elec- tion Monday, October 7, to fill vacancies in student organiza- tions. Elected to serve as Sabbath School chorister for the first semester was Jerry Patton, a sophomore ministerial student from Wyoming. Assistant chor- ister is Don Duncan, freshman music major from Texas. Iris Ghaly, also a music major who comes from Cairo, Egypt, was named as pianist. Top posts in the college chap- ter of the American Temperance Society were also filled. Art Dick, senior pre-med, was elec- ted president and Jim Maxwell, another senior pre-med from Colorado, was named publicity secretary. The Senior, Junior, and Fresh- man classes met Wednesday, Oc- tober 9, to select thirteen mem- bers to fill vacancies on the Nominations and Elections com- mittee.

STUDENT-STAFF DISCUSSIONS COYER VARIED AGENDA The Student-Staff Council was called to order by Chair- man Harold Reeder on Sunday, October 6. The agenda consisted of a proposal of getting more refuse containers to put around the campus to help keep our campus looking better. The plan was approved by the Council. The second item of business was a proposal to study the con- stitution of the Associated Stu- dent Body and to bring it up-to- date by making any changes which might be deemed neces- sary. A sub - committee was nominated by the Council to study the Constitution, and rec- ommend to the Council anything that they think needs changing. It was suggested that the sub- committee consist of two faculty members and three students. Members of the committee se- lected by the Council are Dr. L. W. Welch, who is sponsor of the Association, and very famil- iar with the working policy and the constitution as it now stands; Dr. R. E. Cleveland of the His- tory department; and Pat Peter- son, Art Dick and Jim Dieringer who are members of the com- mittee. Bud Siebenlist, presi- (Contnued on page 2) Trustees Approve Pavement Project Friday, September 27, Presi- dent D. J. Bieber announced tentative plans for paving the road which runs through the Union College campus. Dust and mud from the road have long been a problem to college resi- dents. "Success of the plan depends, in part, upon the cooperation of the students in raising a portion of the needed funds," stated President Bieber. Approximately $12,000 will be needed to improve the roadway from the south entrance of the campus to the parking area at North Hall. Of this amount, the school is able to supply $5,000. The Central Union Conference has been requested to contribute $1,000 and the Nebraska Confer- ence has been asked to give $1,000. The remaining $5,000 is to be raised by the students. "We are trying to look ahead in our planning of the campus," col- lege business manager, Vernon Dunn said later, "and now that the position of the road is perm- anently established, we think it would be wise to make these much-needed improvements." New CWC Members To Be Honored Sixteen new members of the Campus Women's Club will be special guests at the first meet- ing of the organization on Sun- day evening, October 13, in the recital room of Engel Hall. The 1957-58 officers of the club will conduct the program, consisting of a welcome for the new mem- bers, plans for the new year, and a social hour. The officers are Winnie Turner, president; Vic- toria Larsen, vice president; Gertrude Huygens, treasurer; June Engel, secretary; and ex- ecutive members Floda Smith, Marguerite Widener, and Opal Dick. Week of Prayer Plans Finalized Pastor Robert Whitsett, North- ern Union evangelist of Minne- apolis, Minnesota, will be the speaker for the fall week of spiritual emphasis at Union Col- lege, October 18-26. The arrange- ments for the week are under the direction of President David J. Bieber assisted by the joint stu- dent-faculty Religious Life Com- mittee of which Professor Leif Kr. Tobiassen is the chairman. Pastor Whitsett is a well known minister in the Adventist denomination. For several years he was a member of the General Conference ministerial depart- ment, and most recently he has conducted evangelistic efforts in Iowa, the Dakotas, and Minne- sota. (Continued on page 2) CLOCK TOWER, OCTOBER 11, 1957 httetA hata north Halt by Sally Saturley "Vote for the Rood" wos written in dust on the backs of sev- eral cars parked along our now dusty campus road. These words were discovered by the advisory committee which is studying the project. In discussing the project with several girls, I have dis- covered that most of North Hall will probably be doing as the dust- covered cars bid us to do—"vote for the road." The first major function of the Kappa Theta Club was held Thursday evening, September 28—a picnic in College View Park. Club president Betty Meier and her efficient staff of officers had a fine meal planned which we all enjoyed. The meal was followed by group singing. The other officers are: Gail Emde, vice-president; Jeanie Rogers, secretary; Anne Whitsett, treasurer; Jackie Schimke, chorister; Charlene Specht, pianist, and Jonnie Lee Bailey, cultural secretary. It was our privilege here in North Hall to have Dean Clark from the College of Medical Evangelists as guest speaker for our worship. He stressed the importance of first things first and hav- ing a proper sense of values. Another thought along the spiritual side of things is the fact that prayer bands were organized to further the spiritual com- panionship of the North Hall young women. The leaders of the bands are: George Ann Adcock, Marjorie Britt, Betty Chase, Esther Curtis, Candy Dailey, Kay Dart, Betty Engelkemier, Lou Ann Fick, Iris Ghaly, Hilda Graybill, Bernice Kerkhoff, Marilyn Krein, Thorey Melsted, Joyce Miller, Evelyn Moore, Polly Munson, Eleanor Olson, Julie Phillips, Maxine Reed, Millie Reiter, LaVerna Riffel, Evelyn Saulsbury, Roxy Schlatter, Marlene Seltman, Janette Seyle, Carolyn Smith, Juanita Smith, Charlene Specht, Janet Tucker, Connie Wells, Donna Wolfe, Lora Wood, Wanda Skinner, Ramona Chamberlin, Ruth Chesnut and Sharon Chatfield. Student-Staff Council (Continued from page 1) dent of the Associated Student Body, was also asked to serve as a member of the committee. Jim Dieringer was asked by the Council to serve as chair- man. The committee is to meet and report to the Student-Staff Council at the next meeting, Sunday, October 19. The third and last item on the agenda was a proposal brought into discus- sion by Melvin Schultz. His pro- posal was that a change in the social policy of Union College be studied by the group. The main idea of his proposal was that there be some distinction between upper division and old- er students, and lower division students as far as their social privileges are concerned. Schultz in presenting his plan offered counsel from Mrs. E. G. White on the subject. "In dealing with students, age and character must be taken into account. We cannot treat the young and old just alike. There are circumstances un- der which men and women of sound experience and good standing may be granted some privileges not given to the younger students." Counsels To Teachers, page 101. The discussion of the proposal was left unfinished, because of lack of time. The discussion will be first on the agenda at the next meeting. CHAT-N-NIBBLE The following individuals are entitled to 1 free malt by bringing this ad with them. Frances Votava Delano Gilliam REFRESH YOURSELF AT THE CHAT Dean (lark Interviews Future CME Students Walter B. Clark, Dean of Stu- dents at the College of Medical Evangelists, made his annual visit to the Union College campus October 2 to 4. This visit is the only one Dean Clark will make to our campus this year. The purpose of Dean Clark's stay was to interview students interested in enrollment in the schools of medicine, dentistry, laboratory technique, X-ray, and physical therapy at CME. Dean Clark makes these visits annual- ly to our denominational col- leges. During his stay here, he inter- viewed all prospective students who made appointments to talk with him. The dean talked with each student for twenty to thirty minutes. Due to the fact that Dean Clark's chief interest lies in young people, and his twenty years of experience as dormitory administrator, he has an unusual insight into the ambitions and problems of young people. Work- ing with young people during their period of character develop- ment and preparation for their life work is the work Dean Clark enjoys most. His claim that these contacts with young peo- ple are a continual source of in- spiration to him may be true, but evidence proves that those who have become acquainted with him have been inspired to a suc- cessful and better way of life. Rees Hall Construction Moves Ahead of Schedule FACULTY ENTERTAIN STUDENTS OCTOBER 5 Last Saturday evening, Octo- ber 5, group parties of students were entertained at faculty homes. In place of a general en- tertainment for the evening, all the students who wished to par- ticipate, were invited to the homes of various staff members for group parties. Activities ranged from table games and home-made ice cream to chop suey and chop sticks for Chinese students at the home of Mr. Neil Rowland, associate pro- fessor of biology, who was born in Singapore. A total of 23 homes entertained groups of from 8 to 18 students. The committee re- ports plans for more entertain- ments of this type in the future. Next Saturday night, October 12, is an open night in which stu- dents may plan their own activi- ties by making arrangements with the dormitory deans. The open evenings are a result of a student poll taken toward the close of last school year which indicated that the students de- sired more evenings of this type. powerful new FLY KILLER contains ^-attracting cane sugar base New Fatal-Fly Is a deadly dry bait fly killer, contains powerful Dipterex.

RICE PHARMACY 3947 So 48 St. Old North Hall peeks over the completed brickwork of new dorm. by Lennait Colson An old campaigner will soon retire. North Hall, veteran of some 80 years service, stands solemnly in the background these days as construction on the new women's dormitory, Pearl Rees Hall, moves rapidly ahead of schedule. The new dorm, originally ex- pected to be finished at the be- ginning of the 1958-59 school year, now is expected to be com- pleted by July 1, 1958, according to Mr. Ned Saunders, general superintendent of construction. He also expects the Home Eco- nomics department, which will be located on the first floor, to be ready for use by the start of second semester. Mr. Saunders, with Mr. Chris Christensen, masonry foreman, consider the high caliber of work performed by the 24 student laborers partly responsible for the work moving along at such a rapid pace. Mr. Christensen, whose crew of nine student bricklayers, laid 170,000 bricks in a three-month period, pointed out, "We're using student labor and getting professional results." Outside construction on the four and a half story, completely fireproof building is expected to be completed within three weeks. Most of the work thereafter will consist of lathing the inside. An indoor heating system will allow work to continue throughout the winter months. When completed, the new dor- mitory will have cost an esti- mated $600,000, and will have a housing capacity of approximate- ly 250 students. Many of the prospective occu- pants of the new dorm are eying the progress with keen interest. La Donna Milholm, freshman, is happy because the new dorm "... won't squeak and creak like our old one," while Betty Meier, senior, sadly adds, "I envy the girls who will get to live in it." There's a sad ending to this story, however. Upon comple- tion of the new dorm, North Hall will be torn down. Thus it will become a part of Union's history —a fate we all must face some- day.

Business Club Over fifty business and secre- tarial students met in room 301 to vote Bob Kelly president of the Business Club. Glenn Larsen was named vice-president and Shirley Frick secretary-treas- urer. Publicity secretary is Bob Conway. Natural Science Club Ernest Lloyd was named presi- dent of the Natural Science Club for the first semester and John Zollbrecht vice-president.

In something less than half an hour, they had distributed handbills to every home in Wahoo. On Friday eve- ning, Mr. Neville George, the Bible instructor, opened the meetings. Association Officers Introduced In a novel chapel program pre- sented Thursday, October 3, the Academy student association offi- cers for 1957-58 were introduced to the student body. In a short film which was taken under the direction of Mr. Hartley Berlin, the science professor, each of the officers was shown in an activity which interested him. The offi- cers are as follows: president, Richard Griffitts; vice president, Joanne Allen; treasurer, Lassie Bringle; secretary, Ann Hilde; parliamentarian, Roger Simpson; and pianist, Jo Ann Carcich; pastor, Vernon Usher; Sgt.-at- arms, Dick Reed. UCSA Sponsors Box Social Saturday night, October 5, was a night of entertainment for the UCA students who took part in the box social held in the annex. Kenneth Head from the college acted as auctioneer, and evident- ly did a fine job because the Stu- dent Association realized a profit of $34.05. One of the cheaper boxes went for the nominal fee of twenty-five cents in spite of the fact that it was filled with a real delicacy—snake, not rattle- snake steak, however. After they had eaten, the stu- dents had a good time marching and playing other group games. UC Nursing Majors Conduct Sabbath Services Pictured above are nursing students Erma Crofoot, Patricia Dunn, Phyllis Evens, Joan Frederickson, Sherri Saturley with Mrs. Evelyn Bergman. REGIONAL MEETING On September 7, Phyllis Ev- ens, Sherri Saturley, Erma Cro- foot, Patricia Dunn, and Joan Frederickson, juniors at the Clinical Division of Union Col- lege, with Mrs. Evelyn Bergman, Associate Chairman of the De- partment of Nursing, conducted the regional Sabbath services at Craig, Colorado. In the service the group developed the theme, "Ye Are My Witnesses." Each student also participated in the Sabbath School program. Some told stories and gave finger plays for the children; some took part in the adult Sabbath School activities. The students took charge of the morning church service and told of the soul-winning experiences they had enjoyed while having their clinical practice in nursing. They also conducted an after- noon meeting to continue the theme of the day. The end of the Sabbath was marked by a vesper program which was presented by the Union College students.

Extending from September 17, 1957, to January 21, 1958, the Photo Mart offers two awards in each of four classes. In addition, the Instructor may buy other pic- tures submitted for considera- tion. Members of the panel of judges will be drawn from the Instructor staff, the Review and Herald Art Department, and Washington Missionary College. First award in each class will be $25; second award, $10. Although Instructor cover pic- tures are frequently bought from commercial dealers, a few are supplied by authors who have pictures to illustrate their manu- scripts. The Photo Mart, how- ever, provides opportunity for all Adventist young people to share in the production of their own youth magazine and offers a sat- isfying and profitable hobby out- let. Black and white glossy pic- tures may be submitted in one of four classes: Student Life, Out-of-school Life, Scenics, Ani- mal Life. Although color trans- parencies are not eligible, it is permissible to convert a color shot and submit the black and white print.

The era of open-view tennis courts. Maybe you haven't noticed yet, but a clinging, vegetable growth is slowly lowering itself to the ground from its beginnings high in the tennis court fencing. Out on the lawn recently, along with the buzzing of flies and mosquitoes, you may have heard that lethal-sounding whine of a boomerang. Alan Seltman claims that he started it all last year when he brought the first boomerang onto the campus and promptly broke it. This year, however, Melvin Schultz started things by mak- ing one out of plywood at the maintenance shop. The fun began. Everyone wanted to get into the act. Jerry Greenhaw and Ed Storey were the fi rst to get the boomerang to return which is the avowed purpose of every self-respecting boom- erang. Greenhaw hit a few trees on his throws and even managed to get it stuck high above him in a tree a couple of times. So far no moving targets (like students and faculty members) have been hit by this ever-increasing group of boomerang "aficionados." No girls have volunteered to try their hands at it yet, but the fellows are still willing to hold a clinic to teach them. Lorenzo Greenidge tried to throw it left-handed but wasn't suc- cessful because it is made for right-handed throwing. Even Dean Culver good-naturedly gave it a try with a sweeping sidearm motion which sent it 600 feet; you know, 300 feet straight up, and 300 feet straight down. (P. S.: He learned better later.) The original bomerang got broken by Messrs. Seltman and Greenhaw, but they are working on two new ones with which to ter- rorize the countryside. Good hunting! By now, most of the early annual History department map tests are finished and history readers, like George Fischer, can breathe a sigh of relief and uncross their eyes. Crossed eyes is a common ailment of map test graders caused by squinting at small, smudged dots located at random on small, smudged maps. Fellows: All vestiges of last year's refuse rectangle behind old South Hall will soon be gone as Mr. J. C. Turner's crew of gar- deners are turning it into a veritable "sunken garden." Many thanks for this beautification of the campus! Prayer band leaders for the first semester have been in opera- tion for some time now. They are: Lewis Anderson, Grover Barker, Bob Bockman, Don Bunch, Don Duncan, George Fischer, Helton Fisher, Kenneth Franz, Jerry Gilbert, Lorenzo Greenidge, Harry Hartgrove, Kent Hodson, Robert Hyde, Dick Jewett, Don Johnson, Jake Knight, Arnt Krogstad, Herman Leiske, Dick Milholm, Marvin Moore, Kenneth Morford, Jerry Nelson, Caesar Nowalkowski, Bill Philpott, Leo Rein, George Sharpe, Jere Stearman, Gabe Taylor, Bob Teel, and John Zollbrecht. Club officers for Sigma lota Kappa are: Jim Maxwell, presi- dent; Dick Milholm, vice president; Bob Whitsett, secretary-treasurer; Floyd Harberts and Leroy Schultz, assistant treasurers; Dave Priest, sergeant-at-arms; and Jake Knight, pastor. bers of these committees, which will figure in the weekly meet- ings, are to be elected next week. Revisions in the constitution concerned the offices to be filled and name of the club, which dropped the title, Alpha Tau Sigma, in preference to Union College Colporteur Club. Arthur Hauck, sponsor, em- phasized that the club is open to all students—both college and academy-and staff members. MOHR'S I.G.A.
