Registration Hits 722; Last Year Was 719 The 1951-52 enrollment at Union College has been rapidly overtak- ing the enrollment of the 1950-51 school year. As this issue of the CLOCK TOWER goes to press on Monday, October 1, the enrollment stands at 722, whereas last year at the same time the enrollment was 719. In clays of decreasing enrollment in state and denominational insti- tutions it is interesting to note that Union College has maintained and slightly increased its enrollment. The registration lagged behind for a while because students were still harvesting crops in North and South Dakota and other sections of the three unions that Union Col- lege serves. At one time the enroll- ment was as much as 24 behind last year, but it steadily came up, indi- cating that Union College has reached a plateau in its enrollment that it will probably hold for some time.

Elder Andrew Fearing, president of the Nevada-Utah Conference, will be the speaker. He has chosen as his theme, "Things Unshakeable," and sug- gests "My Life for Christ" as the ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ motto for the week. Andrew Fearing has had eigh- ', ' ^^^jT^B teen years of evangelistic and ra- dio work. During this time he has spoken in such cities as Pittsburg, Washington, Newark, New York, Trenton, Philadelphia, and other I metropolitan cities of the East.

Tuesday chapel: "How to Know Jesus Better" evening: "Interview with a Tree Climbing Politician" Through Broomshop Reopens Perhaps you have noticed some people on the campus who possess the unusual characteristic of green- tinted hands. No, they're not suf- fering from the maladies of gan- grene, nor are they necessarily members of the "green gang"—the freshmen. Chances are that they are merely employees of the Lin- coln Broom Works. ('You see. the broom corn is dved with green crystals and the brooms, in turn, dye the employees!) The college broom shop has re- opened after a lapse of three vears, and. although full production has not been reached, the workers. Ter- ald Black. Wesley Whit ten, Don Gantrell. Wanda Butcher, Shirlev Frishman, Myron Voegele, and Bill Cavin are producing seventy doz- en brooms per week. Manager Dan Oldcrbak ex- presses his desire to triple the num- ber of workers and the quantity of brooms in the near future. Mr. Chalmers Royal is beginning: his dutv as salesman and he, too. hones for more and more sales and production.

YOUR STUDENT ASSOCIATION Music Faculty fo Give Recital Saturday night, October 6. the music faculty of Union College is presenting a variety musical pro- gram.

This will be the first program of the year in which the entire mu- sic faculty will participate. Selec- tions from old masters as well as contemporary composers will be given. Get Well, Milton! The facultv. staff, and students of Union College are praying for the early recovery of Milton Cor- win. The CLOCK TOWER staff would like to take this opportunity to in- form its readers that Milton Cor- win, stricken with polio, is making nrotrress toward recovery. Have courage, Milton; all of us are pull- ing for you. —THE EDITORS Student Association officers Ann Tolliver, Norman Sharp, and Claricc Anderson admire the results of the Association's recent gym campaign. Left, President Palmer Wick. Is this school just the way you would like it to be? Are there things you would like to see changed or something new added? Last year the Student Associa- tion of Union College was organ- ized to make it possible for the students to work with the faculty to make Union a better school. Its purpose is to promote unity and spirit among the students. Palmer Wick, president of the association is a senior ministerial student from Loveland, Colorado. He has proved himself a capable leader during his past three years at Union, being superintendent of Sabbath School, junior class presi- dent, and holding other offices. He is assisted by vice-president, Nor- man Sharp, a junior from Beemer, Nebraska, who has been a spiritual leader. Pie has taken active part in M.V. and colporteur activities. The secretary is Clarice Anderson, a senior secretarial student from Sa- lem, South Dakota. Her assistant, Ann Tolliver, is from Ft. Collins, Colorado, and is studying for the laboratory technician course. An inter-collegiate workshop was organized at Southern Missionary College last year. Student Associa- tion representatives and editors of publications from all S.D.A. schools were invited to come and discuss problems and offer new ideas to other schools. Bobby Roberts, Stu- dent Association president last year, was elected general chairman of the workshop, and it was decid- ed that a workshop would be held this year at Union College. 2 CLOCK TOWER, SEPTEMBER 26, 1952 OUoc MEMBER ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATE PRESS EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-Chief Mareta Jensen Rewrite Editors Trudy Johnson Marvella Anderson Feature Editor...

Hand Writ Notes While I was at supper the evening after the Student Association was presented in lower division chapel, one of the freshman girls leaned over to me and said, "What was all that about in chapel this morning?" I'm a booster of the Student Association, so the rest of supper was spent by my telling her how the Student Association was the instrument through which the students help make Union College the school they want it to be. She was excited about its accomplishments of last year—the new gym floor and ceiling, fall picnic, courtesy program, and other activties. Well, I made one convert, now how about the rest of you really backing our Student Association? 'A Last week we forgot Thelma Kepler and Norman Harvey among our North-South Hall deserters. So sorry. & Don Dick, when asked what course he was taking in college: "Oh, just pre-induction." A Jokes about absent-minded professors are aw- fully old, but here's one you just must hear. Dr. Cadwallader teaches a general secondary methods class at 10:30—that is, when he doesn't completely forget it as he did last Monday. A My mother has always had high ideals. She tried to teach us that we should always be as nice at home as when we had company. But when she got desperate she'd say: "Well, at least, use company manners when we have company." This month we are having as our guests at a workshop the Student Association representatives and heads of publica- tions from several of our sister colleges. So let's put on our company manners and show them a won- derful time—let them know there's no place like Union. 'A Obviously not recovered from registration week. Dean Culver said when he asked for a certain girl in North Hall, "Oh, I don't know her name—I just know she's from Texas." 'A Bouquets are in order for the following: Mr. Turner for his hard work in keeping the campus beautiful. . . . Miss Rees for the spic and span dormitory. . . . The music department for its Friday vesper serv- ice prelude and its chapel interludes. . . . The International Relations Club for its spot news in chapel. . . . Marilyn Dart, Velda Lorenz, and Naomi Reynolds for helping to compile the student roster for the Clock Tower. . . . Students who enthusiastically supported Presi- dent Hartman in the enrollment drive this past summer. . . . Bonnie Johnson for taking over the academy physical education classes. ... A Editor: "Do you think I need more fire in my editorials?" Mr. Taylor: "No, vice versa." EMPTY SOUL INTERVIEW Would you like to "share your faith" with your fellow students? The editors would enjoy adding a column which would consist of your soul-winning experiences. Many might gain the inspiration to win one in '51 from your story. If you have some such incident to relate, just drop it in the Clock Tower office. SOUTH HALL The first meeting of the boys' club was held during the evening worship period September 20. The new president, William McLaugh- lin, called the meeting to order and introduced his fellow officers for the first semester. They are: Vice- president, Norman Mock; secre- tary-treasurer, Harold Feikes; as- sistants to the treasurer, Franklin Dupper and Ferman Mock. The last two have the unenviable duty of collecting fifty cents from each and every member of the club. At last report tliev were calling Old South Hall "Old Scotch Hall." Muilc czJ-fall Charles i. Watson The music department is proud to announce that Mr. Charles J. Watson has received his Master of Arts degree from Colorado State College of Education. He was a pupil of fosef and Rosina Lhevinne of the graduate school of Julliard School of Music in New York. -k- There are 120 piano students, 70 voice students, and 40 instrument students taking part in such organ- izations as Golden Cords Chorale, male chorus, Oriana choir, ladies glee club, orchestra, and band. NORTH HALL By this time the girls have organ- ized their schedules and settled in their dwelling places. The trunks have been neatly stored in the home and will undoubtedly remain there for the next nine months unless the first month's statement or the four weeks tests cause some to get cold feet. The paraphernalia which two weeks ago cluttered the rooms causing them to look rather di- sheveled has been put into proper places, and now they look very at- tractive. Bette Jewell Lenz says she finally succeeded in getting her clothes off the bed and hung in the closet, so she could get the blankets off the floor to make her bed, so she could sweep the floor, enabling her to unpack her rugs and put them on the floor. Bill McLaughlin The program time for the first meeting was taken by Dean Culver. He chose as his topic something of special interest to the freshmen— "How to Date a Girl Properly." Many of those present seemed to think it could well have been called "How to Win Girls and Influence Deans of Women." During the first week of school the men of South Hall chose their prayer band leaders for the first semester. They included: Bill Bell, E. B. Blair, Sylvester Bietz, Delbert Brown, Mearl Campbell, Dave Copsey, Torsten Dahlberg, Frank- lin Dupper, Loicen Gabbert, Charles Gray, Loren Heiser, Ray Herber, Ray Hymer, Gene Johnson, Roy Jones, Jerry McGill, Laurie McLaughlin. Harvey MeNeal, Ellis Olson, Floyd Patch, Dale Peterson, George Reid. Robert Rider, Gene Simmons, Richard Scott, and Ralph Williams. Odds and Ends With most of last year's steady couples married, it was very "heart- warming" to older Unionites to see Marilyn Dart and Raymond Her- ber setting such a good example for all the incoming youngsters at the Southwesterners' party Saturday night. A pleasant surprise awaited the men of South Hall this year: In- stead of Wendell Carpenter's hap- py face, we found that of a charm- ing young lady. The boys respond- ed beautifully and contracted all sorts of varied and new diseases. Some night after worship, notice all of the invalids grouped around the South Hall clinic's door. Carol Grubbs The North Hall girls' club, Kap- pa Theta, has organized for the first semester. Officers are: President, Carol Grubbs; vice-president, Vir- ginia Christiansen; secretary, Nao- mi Hopkins; treasurer, Dorthy Ras- mussen; cultural secretary. Ann Tolliver; chorister, Kathy Colls; pi- anist, Bunny Phillips. All the girls like to have some extra trimmings in their rooms to give them an aristocratic appear- ance. Kathy Colls was on the verge of losing some of hers when she threatened her sick goldfish with,. "I'll shoot vou if you die!" No time has been lost in making use of the newly refinished laundry room. The buzz of the washing ma- chine reveals the fact that the girls are making up for the period of idleness while the room was being redecorated. During the past few weeks North Hall girls were glad to welcome several visitors on the campus. Some of these who have visited "Old Union" were: Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Christianson, Miss Ruth Downing, Mr. and Mrs. Elwood Boyd and son Bruce; Mrs. E. Prin- gle, and Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Pringle and family. ALUMNI NEWS MEXICO CITY.—TWO ex-Unionites finished an extensive field course in tropical medicine and public health here this summer when Mexico's undersecretary of Public Health and Welfare awarded certificates to Messrs. Frank Shaffer and Ken- neth Burden. Union's representatives traveled to Mexico in a five-car caravan which took them to the Gulf of Mexico port of Veracruz where they spent two weeks seeing clini- cal demonstrations, inspecting pub- lic sanitary works, learning tech- niques in laboratory diagnosis and hearing lectures. The four week- course also included a two-day trip to Villa Hermosa where the group of 18 saw a mission school and clinic. They also attended lec- tures and visited key hospitals in this capital city for five days before being given an audience with the undersecretary. The course is sponsored by the Loma Linda School of Tropicnl and Preventive Medicine, one of the seven schools forming the College of Medical Evangelists, with the cooperation of the Institute of Inter-American Affairs and the Ministry of Public Health and Wel- fare of Mexico. Mrs. Ruth Stenborn, alumnus of Union, accompanied the medical group as chief dietitian. Mrs. Frank Shaffer and Mrs. Ken- neth Burden accompanied their husbands on the trip. The department is planning to render Handel's "Messiah" on De- cember 15 with the accompaniment of the college orchestra. Rehearsals have already begun. The Secret Is God By ANDREW FEARING One time Mrs. S. M. I. Henry, the great temper- ance worker, was holding meetings in a certain city. A prominent judge, a noted disbeliever in God, attended some of her meetings. Being a personal friend of Mrs. Henry, he paused one night for a visit at the close of the service. "You know, Mrs. Henry," he said, "I wish you would explain to me the secret of your tremendous influence and power over such large audiences." She answered, "God is the secret of my power." Somewhat taken back, the judge continued, "I would like to believe in God, but I cannot because I have never seen Him or talked with Him, nor have I found any means by which I could come in contact with Him." Then Mrs. Henry said, "Judge, I have a friend, a Mr. Fairchild, who lives in Los Angeles, Cali- fornia. Although you have never seen him, nor ever heard of him, yet do you believe such a person as Mr. Fairchild exists and actually lives in Los Angeles?" "Surely, Mrs. Henry, if you say so." "Judge, I wish to testify that I KNOW there is a God in heaven, who is my heavenly Father, who loves me and cares for me, one to whom I can go in every hour of need. I want you to believe on my testimony, that there is a God." The judge saw the point immediately, but he questioned, "I would surely like to know Him if I could, but I am a practical man and how can I satisfy myself that there is such a God as you de- scribe?" She replied, "I will tell you how to become ac- quainted with Him. Here, take my Bible, and when you go home tonight and are alone in your room, read the entire book of St. John; the one hundred third Psalm; First John, chapter one; the eighth chapter of the book of Romans; and then kneel beside your chair and start to talk to God, pray to Him. You may not recognize His presence, but if you will pray earnestly and continue in prayer for some time, before long you will know the same God I know." The judge, being willing, said, "All right, I will try it out; there is nothing to lose and perhaps much to be gained." And in his home that night he found the reading of the Holy Bible fascinating. His mind was illuminated, and he felt a strange warmth through his whole being. Then he tried to pray. This was difficult, as he had not offered a prayer for more than twenty years. In a stammer- ing way he began, "O God, if there is a God—Mrs. Henry says there is a God—will you please reveal yourself to me?" The next morning the judge and Mrs. Henry met in the city. Before he had spoken a word, Mrs. Henry exclaimed, "Judge, you need not tell me; I know the result of last night's experience. It ra- diates from your very countenance. You found God last night!" "Yes, yes, indeed, Mrs. Henry, I did find Him. I know now there is a God, for I talked with Him last night. I am acquainted with Him, and some- how I love Him. May I come and study the Bible with you? I want to know more, and I want to help others to find their way to God." Yes, my friend, God lives, and you may know Him too. "Ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13. Suggestion* 3or \Jour Paper? Your staff is very anxious to know what you as readers like best to read in the Clock Tower. In an effort to find out just what your desires are the question: "What would you like to see or read in the Clock Tower?" has been asked of several peo- ple here on our campus. The following are some of the comments: Patty Ortner: Funny things about the kids. It adds flavor to the paper. E. B. Blair: Individual columns on different hap- penings in different halls on the campus. Frank Moore: Just anything. Marian Zummach: College Daze. Personal col- umns about students. Dick Hunt: More news about students in school. Articles about teachers. Material such as this would help acquaint us with one another. Col- lege Daze. Bette Jewell Lenz: Feature articles, because I'm a dreamer. Bobby Roberts: Individual spiritual activities of students, such as prayer bands, etc. Soul-win- ning experiences of students. Charles Russell: Articles on experiments performed in the Science Hall, especially those performed by Mr. Hare. I would like to know about them, but don't have time to go find out. Mr. Robert Cleveland: I would like to rend more about the students as individuals and what they think about certain events on the campus. I would like to see the first page restricted to just news with no carryovers to other pages I would like to see the second page used entirely as an editorial page.

THE SPY GLASS The other day I came upon a most unusual device—a spy glass. By using it I observed some very interesting things. Fortunately, the spy glass is only a one-way device. I can see you, but you cannot see me. Elder Carter, were you A.W.O.L. the 27th during your Bible doc- trines period? What? Did you say that you were locked out!!! Joyce Merryman seems to be very sweet in New Testament his- tory. For further information see Joyce and the caramel manufac- turers. I noticed the boys in auto me- chanics are getting the shock of their lives — too many magnetos maybe. The other clay at band practice" after a strenuous rehearsal, Mr. Cowles said. "Your lips must be tired. Everybody blow your lips out and rest them." The first one to comply with a loud response was the drummer. Donna. Have you heard of the new way to take roll in choir?

YOUR PATRONAGE APPRECIATED GOLDEN GLAZE BAKE SHOP QUALITY BAKED DELICACIES made only with PURE VEGETABLE SHORTENING OPEN SUNDAYS 4732 Prescott Lincoln Gymnasium Minnaska outscored Missouri in the "kickoff" of Union College flag football. When the dust had settled over 49-ers Field last Sunday morn- inc, the score read Minnaska 20, Missouri 6, as a new tvne of foot- ball was introduced at Union Col- lege. Missouri scored on Bob Edwards' nlunge over the right side of the line in the first quarter to lead 6 to 0. But before it was over, Min- naska had scored three touch- downs. all on nasses while holding Missouri scoreless for the remain- der of the olav. Minnaska fa con- traction of Minnesota and Nebras- ka1) scored on passes from Dick to Ogden. Oeden to Mead, and Ogden to Dick. Osiden ran a fumble over for one extra point and Dick passed to Mead for the other to round out the scoring. The game was not in leacrue play but was a scrimmage which introduced 9-man football. This came consisted of two teams of nine each, in contrast to last year's six-man style. It has been su^fested. and nerhaps it micht b° well to follow the suggestion, that there be a group meeting of all boys interested in playing football to make definite decisions on what typo of football is practical (6-man or P-man) and rules on forfeits and final nlaving of tournaments. More than likely arrangements could be made for a short period for such a meeting following worship some evening. Only two teams have turned in their team rosters and thev are not Blood Donors Needed Dr. H. A. Scott, manager, has announced a shortage of blood do- nors at the Veterans Hospital in Lincoln clue to an increased de- mand from other agencies.

The tennis courts have been in use more during the first few weeks of the new school year than during any nine week period of last year. How about a little interest in a tennis tournament? Could those in- terested in a tennis tournament talk it over? If it is not possible to arrange one: this fall, make sure that preparations are made for a tournament next spring. A nomina- tion for one to work on this project is Ellis Olson. Roller skating is holding its own for recreation, and with the new floor and ceiling in the gym it is no wonder.
