Student Recital, Oct. 29 Lyceum Number, Nov. 7 CLOCK Union---The College of the Golden Cords VoL. XI COLLEGE VIEW STATION, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, OCTOBER 23, 1936 No. 4 INGATHERING DAY IS BIG SUCCESS Over Two Hundred Students Solicit Within Fifty- Mile Radius NEBRASKANS LEAD Friday Chapel Period Given to the Reports and Experiences of Various State Groups Bulletin: Funds gathered in the Harvest Ingathering campaign total to date $775, Nebraska leading with $185, and Minne- sota following second with $120. Ne- braska, Minnesota, and Kansas clubs will receive $100 honor ribbons. More than five hundred dollars was raised by Union college students on their annual Harvest Ingathering field day, Oc- tober 15. This year more took part in the field day activities tha'n in previous years. Over two hundred students solicited in the business districts and the residential sections of a score of towns within a fifty-mile radius of Lincoln. Students met early Thursday morning south of the men's dormitory, where they were assigned by groups to cars. Elder E. L. Cardey, Home Missionary Secretary of the Central union, took mo- tion pictures of the scene as the groups were preparing to start on their day's work. The pictures may be shown at the Fall council, he sai.d The chapel hour Friday was given over to reports and experiences of Thursday's work. Each state had set an individual goal. Nebraska had a goal of $125 and exceeded it by twenty per cent. Kansas ranked second and Colorado rated third in the approach to their goals. Many ex- periences of interest were related by those who took part in the field day activities. Nearly all of the state groups have been engaged in singing band work. Groups of fifteen to thirty students have been going out in trucks and cars to sing for the pecple of Lincoln. As much as twenty dcllars has been raised by one group in a single evening. The college goal is set at $1200, and already over half that amount has been rai:ed. A remarkable measure of enthusi- asm dominates the Harvest Ingathering campaign this year, and those groups not yet having their goals are determined to press on till their marks are reached. CT Beginning with this issue, there will appear in succession exact copies of the four speeches given re- cently in the Missionary Volunteer society on - My Ideal. - The one ap- pearing this time was prepared and given by Lucile Sherrig. The Sod House Frontier, a new book recently completed by Dr. E. N. Dick, director of the history department of Union college, has been accepted for publication by the D. Appleton-Century company and will appear in print next spring. The work is the fruition of five years of research study by the author in South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas. A chap- ter from it on pioneer newspapers of Professor William Landeen, president of Walla Walla college, will conduct the fall week of prayer meetings to be held here from October 30 to November 6. Professor Landeen just completed a similar work a t Walla Walla, which was reported to be very successful. CT STUDENTS TO GIVE MUSICAL RECITAL Vocal and Instrumental Talent To Be Presented in First Appear- ance of Season A group of fifteen music students will be presented in a vocal and instrumental recital Saturday night at 8:15 in the col- lege chapel by the Union College Music department. This is the first program of the season to be sponsored by this de- partment. In the vocal group, Chester Wickwire will sing "Little Boy Blue" by Nevin; James Van Divier, "Morning" by Speaks; and Mae Sorensen, "Serenade" by Tos- elli. The instrumental group includes a violin, 'cello, and piano trio played by Henry Meissner, Oscar Meissner, and Wava Holm; a trombone solo by Irvin Landmark: a trumpet solo, "Water Witch" by Smith, played by Orason Brinker; and a viola solo played by Henry Meissner. The five piano students who will he presented are Jane Wensel, who will play "Etude in A-flat" by Wallenhaupt; Wil- fred Burgess, "Fluttering Leaves" by Koel- ling; Clement Cowin, "Prelude and Fugue 'n B-flat" by Bach and "Alt-Wien" by Godowsky; Muriel Franklin, "Prelude" by Chopin; and Felicia Wright, "So- nata Op. 27, No. 1-Andante and Al- legro molto" movements by Beethoven. Kansas and Nebraska was read by him at the Mississippi Valley Historical association, which met last spring in con- rzction with the Texas centennial at Austin, Texas. This book, containing over 500 pages, is a story of the everyday life of the settlers from the time of the crossing of the Missouri river until the frontier was no more. Different chapter headings reveal the contents of the work to be a comprehensive description of the fron- tiersman's life, his early progress in farming, his hardships with grasshopper plagues and blizzards, his amusements and social activities, his religious life, and his struggle for the daily necessities for existence. • The D. Appleton-Century company -omm-nts: "It seems to cover the soual history of the chosen area in amazing detail, and we have the highest respect not only for the industry but also for the skill with which such a mass of di- verse material has been organized." M. V. TO FEATURE MISSIONARIES Foreign missions will be presented in the college 'Missionary Volunteer society Sabbath, October 24, in a program by two returned missionaries, who are taking school work at Union this year. accord- ing to announcement by Glenn Fillman. Sam Loomis, from Bolivia, and Herbert Christensen from India, will appear dressed in native costume and give a joint program about their respective fields, said Mr. Elliman. Following the program a permanent foreign missions band will be organized, provided a suitable time can be found for it to meet, the leader announced. CT Prof. Marsh Writes for Scientific Magazines Results of Biological Research To Be Published Soon Five scientific papers, written by Prof. Frank I. Marsh, instructor in biological sciences here, have been accepted for pub- lication by technical magazines and will appear in print sometime during the com- ing months. The titles of the papers and the journals in which they will appear are as follows: "Ecological Observations upon Enemies of Cecropia, with Particular References to Its Hymenopterous Parasites" will ap- p•zar in Ecology, a journal subscribed to by the Union college library. "Biology of the Ichneumonid Spilocryp_ tus extrematis Cresson" will be published in Annals of the American Entomological Society. "Egg placing by Diabrachys boucheanus Ratzeburg" was accepted for publication !)-/ the Canadian Entomologist. "Biology of the Tachinid Winthemia datanae Tns." will be printed by the Psycha. "Biology of the New Chaleid Parasite Inimicus Gahan" will appear in the Journal of the New York Ento- mDlcgical Society. Professor Marsh did the research work for these papers when he was preparing his master's thesis at Northwestern uni- versity in 1933. His thesis is entitled A Regional Study of Sarnia Cecropia and Nine Associated Primary Parasites and Hyperparasites. During his research that year, Professor Marsh made the discovery of a previously unknown fly, the name of which is Cir- ro-pilus inimicus, a hyperparasite that feeds upon the larvae of Spilocryptus ex- trematis Cresson. Experiences Chapel Period Friday EKSTROM Dahl got a dollar from a certain chamber of commerce where he had been com- manded to go for permission to solicit that neighborhood. Too bad he didn't get there first. Mrs. Ruby Lushbaugh told of the people who were appreciative of the missionary work being done. Unionites were glad for the compliment she re- ceived from a man who told her, "There are no yellow Adventists in the army." "I never saw such large families in all my life," clipped off Kimber Johnson as he stood to speak; "each one had at least six kids." It was from just such a place that Kimber excused himself from a corned-beef and cabbage dinner. Good for Kim. Marvin Lawrence got a quarter from a woman who just didn't allow solicitors. One woman, on being canvassed by Luella Walker, said she was glad that there are still some young people in this world that don't think only of pleasure. A. K. Phillips announced his belief that it is more profitable to go to the same place every year because the people learn to know the solicitors and look forward to their coming. Next year here's hoping to prove his statement. NEBRASKA ALUMNI TO HAVE SESSION Members of State Organization to Meet for Joint Business Meeting and Social Affair Members of the Nebraska chapter of Union College Alumni association will meet in their fall council session for busi- ness and fellowship in the North hall assembly room here October 28 at 7:30 P. M., according to announcement by Dr. Frank T. Lopp, president of the chapter. The meeting will precede the opening of the annual state teachers' convention held in Lincoln the same week. The adoption of a new constitution will be among the matters of business that will come before the body, it was learned from the secretary of the chapter, Edda Rees-Larimore. Two or three reels of educational films will be shown, it was announced. Another social number on the evening's program will be a community sing, led by Julius Humann. It is expected that at least a hundred m-mbers will be present at the meeting. The Nebraska chapter includes all the alumni now resident in the state and their wives. Quite a number of the teachers in the college community here are mem- bers. The executive committee of the organi- zation is planning to place at the regis- tration headquarters of the state teachers' convention a booth or some other pub- licity display to correspond with displays of other alumni associations of the state, it was learned. CT Faculty Members Attend Out-of-State Meetings President M. L. Andreasen left Friday, October 16, for Fort Worth, Texas, to attend the meeting of the Fall council of the General conference. Mr. H. C. Hartman joined him there the first of the following week. Dr. H. K. Schilling left Sunday to attend the regional meeting of the Asso- ciation of American Colleges, which convened on the campus of Saint Mary's college, South Bend, Indiana, from the 20th to the 21st of October. Doctor Schilling spent the 19th at Emmanuel Missionary college, at Berrien Springs, Michigan. CT Anger is avenging the faults of others on ourselves.—Pope. GIRLS ENTERTAIN AT OPEN HOUSE North H a 11 Residents Invite Guests to Inspection Tour Through Dormitory PROGRAMS ARE GIVEN Groups Are Favored With Varied Selections of Readings and Musical Numbers With six North hall girls acting as hostesses in charge of the evening's pro- gram, a multitude of masculine guests and their friends were escorted through the rooms of the girls in their annual open house entertainment held here the evening of October 17. Working with Dean Pearl Rees and Mae Sorensen were Jane Wensel, Ida Green, Evelyn Nelson, Imogene Shiffner, Eunice Ekstrom, and Margaret Rogers. Girls chosen as leaders guided groups of a dozen or more each through the dormitory, ending up at the first floor parlor, where the guests were entertained with short programs given by members of the groups. A reading by Lucile Sherrig, a piano duet by Ruby Bounds and Luella Walker, and a violin solo by Donald John, Eddie Taylor accompanying him, were num- bers presented to the first group assembled in the parlor at the end of the tour through the rooms. When the next five groups had arrived, Lloyd Osborne and LeVerne Melendy played a saxophone duet, accompanied by Rosetta Anderson. Margaret Rogers gave a reading, which was followed by a vocal solo by Myrtle Barker. A medley of Irish tunes, a piano duet by Jane Wensel and Felicia Wright, was the opening number presented to the third group. Anna Faughnan read a hu- morous story about an old negro count- ing eggs, and Chester Wickwire and Mae Sorensen sang a duet. The opening number in the fourth pro- gram-group was a vocal number by Helen Lude, accompanied by Esther Kunau. Ruth Cowin gave a reading, and Gordon Stout played a violin number, accom- panied by Marjorie Miller. Those in the fifth group were enter- tained with a vocal trio composed of Elinor Staples, Ruth Roush, and June Layman. Wava Holm accompanied them. Two other numbers on their program were a reading by Vesta Fillman and a piano solo by Russell Brown. In the last group of entertainers there were Muriel Franklin, piano soloist; Doris Franklin, reader; and Nellie Linscott, vocalist. Miss Linscott was accompanied by Ruth Stoehr. Guides who conducted the groups from room to room were Arline McTaggart, Jane Wensel, Anabelle Mills, Virginia Cornell, Ida Green, Margaret Johnson, Crystal Stevens, Nina Dahl, Lucille Rod- erick, Mildred Adamson, Mildred Priest, Jane Douglas, Ruth Cowin, Kathryn Mills.

Hallowe'en Hike Head of History Department Is Author of Book on Frontier Life Ingathering Field Day Given During BY EUNICE With mottos on the wall depicting grass springing up under Unionites' feet, Indians shooting arrows at the bull's eye, donkeys kicking things over, and oil wells gushing over, the chapel was an ex- citing place Friday morning, day after Harvest Ingathering. The Kansas students have finished cultivating a huge sunflower whose every petal is worth $10.00. Al- though Minnesota's goal chart isn't up, each one of its students will tell you that they have $118.05 of their $175.00 goal. Nebraska students had quite a time making it plain that they were $25.00 over their goal; but, not having been daunted by unresponsive donors to the Harvest Ingathering project, they fear- lessly explained the situation until their supremacy was clear, thereby rightfully claiming the place of honor. In the midst of all this the students who returned to the campus Thursday night, seemingly unchanged and with no outward indication of what they had gone through, proved to be very in- teresting with their grim tales of woe or laughing tales of humor. After Lucile Sherrig told how the Ne- braska students had started off with a bang, Glenn Fillman explained how Nina THE CLOCK TOWER Published biweekly during the school year and monthly during August by the Student Publishing Association of Union College.

Of all the truths that have been passed on to us by the ancients, this is perhaps the most revealing. Moses spent forty years of soli- tude in the land of the Midianites. John the Baptist "was in the des- erts till the day of his shewing unto Israel." Saul of Tarsus spent three years in the wilderness after receiving his divine commis- sion to preach the gospel to the Gentiles. It was in the seclusion of the Isle of Elba that Napoleon formu- lated his plans for reconquering a world. Paul Bunyan wrote the book Pilgrim's Progress in the quietness of a foul cell. The Bible and history are full of these ex- amples of men who sought power in solitary reflections. What is the mysterious source of the power of solitude? What virtue can there be in shutting one's self away from contacts with fellow mortals? The answer is this: In this way only can man properly relate him- self to the cosmos. In this way only can man see how petty, self- ish, really unimportant he is. In this way only can man see him- self, not as a social animal bicker- ing, pushing, struggling to get ahead, but as a very small factor in a great plan—a plan devised and directed by God. It is a strange truth that only by seeing himself as small can man become great. In our modern helter-skelter world, solitude, being more diffi- cult of attainment, becomes even more valuable. Is not a thing so enriching worth the inconvenience it entails? H. A. CT KAPPA THETA ELECTS OFFICERS Officers for Kappa Theta, women's club of North hall, were elected recently. Two sets of officers were chosen, to serve alternately every other week, as follows: Virginia Cornell and Myrtle Barker, presidents; Luella 'Walker and Eunice Ekstrom, secretaries; and Mary Ann Lerwick and Peggy Smith, ser- geants-at-arms. Two program committees were elected also, Katherine Mills, Mar- garet Rogers, and Ann Brooks on one; and Margaret Johnson, Eloise Laugen, and Cleora Turner on the other. Evelyn Nelson and Lucille Roderick were chosen as critics. NOVEMBER EVENTS November 6 Close of Autumn Devotional Week. November 7 Second lyceum number by Harry H.

I would try to be a real man in every respect. Oh, no, I wouldn't be a "goody-goody," or "teacher's pet," or a "sissy." I'd be a real man. If I were a boy, I'd keep my hair combed, except those seven stubborn hairs in the back that just naturally stand up three days out of the week; and I'd be scrupulously clean. You know, when I see some fellows—of course, there are- n't many like that—I'm always reminded of the story about a seedy-looking man who called at a house and asked for something to eat, saying he was a sailor and had "follered the water for sixteen years." "Well," said the woman after a criti- cal look, "You don't look as if you ever caught up with it." And if I were a boy, I'd even keep my finger-nails clean, but I wouldn't be ef- feminate about it. I'd have a clear skin and good complexion from eating correct- ly, not fom dabbing powder here and there over the pimply patches. I'd be in glowing health and have the bubbling- over enthusiasm that a college boy should have. Through my own enthusiasm, I would influence others to be more inter- ested in life. If I were a boy, I'd have a charming personality, a winning smile, and a pieas- ant, cultured voice—not one of those raspy or thundering noises attached to some of the male species. Of course, I'd have a sense of humor and a sharp wit, but it would all be used naturally, not just to "play the clown." And my jokes would never be embarrass- ing to anyone around. In other words, I would be tactful, like the lover who ac- companied his fiancee to a bazaar, and he was "broke." When they came to a booth where a lot of charms were on sale, she exclaimed with delight: "Oh, Charles, buy me a charm." "Mabel," he answered admiringly, "you have too many already." He was using tact. Good-natured? I should say I would be! If I were a boy, I wouldn't bother anyone with my personal troubles. And my sense of humor would lighten the burdens of everyone around by revealing a funny side in every unpleasant situa- tion. I would enjoy living because I would endeavor to make my life a joy to my- self and a pleasure to those around me. If I were a boy, I would have a sane philosophy of life—modern in courage, initiative, and understanding, with an old-fashioned reverence for the more dur- able satisfactions of life, love and home. I would stand firm for my religious be- liefs. I would have a fine character and high moral ideals. I would plan my ca- reer in harmony with my religious ideals. I would be well-informed, well-read, and well-bred. Of course, I would not swear or use slang. I would be honest under all circumstances no matter where I was. I would be like the colored boy who was offered for sale at a slave market. One of the bystanders, moved with compassion and impressed with the boy's appearance, wanted to keep him from falling into the hands of some cruel mas- ter. So he went to the little black fellow and said, "Will you be honest if I buy you?" With an indescribable look upon his Continued on page 3 NION'S SUALS & NUSUALS BY IMA USUAL Eunice Kelly has a lace collar worth the attention of this colunm. It was cro- cheted by her grandmother in Ireland and is about eighty years old. Eunice says it gives her a thrill every time she wears it. —U—U—U— Mae Sorensen has been quite busily engaged the past few weeks. Maybe that explains why she walked into the CLOCK TOWER office, sat down at the typewriter, and was all ready to play but couldn't locate the pedals. U—U—U— Many of the girls of North hall have been contemplating the idea of becoming efficient in the art of bread-making. From numerous conversations with various girls, I find that many already excel in that line. Of course, some are very mod- est in their achievements. I made some bread once myself. —U—U—U— One of the professors was assigning duties to members of his class, which they were to perform in event of fire. To one he gave the responsibilty of lead- ing the way to the exit and assisting the young ladies out if they needed help. Then addressing Paul Whitlow, he said, "Nov, you leave last and close the doors and windows." Comparing his duties ruefully with those assigned to the former student, he muttered, "That burns me up." —U—U—U— You have undoubtedly heard of trans- lating German to English. Also you've heard of trying to translate Greek into something understandable. Did you every try translating a Republican newspaper into the Democrat method of understand- ing? —U—U—U— Wanted: A good copyright on a meth- od of being on the "right" side of an argument with Clarence Dye. If anyone knows of a method please inform the writer of this column immediately. —U—U—U— The most unusual thing about the first lyceum course was the "becoming ac- quainted" period before it began. How- ever, a good time was had by all. —u—u—u— The newest addition to North hall pets is a turtle belonging to Evelyn Nelson. It is named Deckerina for short, the rest of the title to be supplied as the occa- sion permits. u—U—U— Mrs. Marsh:—"Give us a sentence us- ing active voice, Mr. Turner." Paul Turner:—"I can't think of one right now." Mrs. Marsh:—"That is correct, Mr. Turner. - U—LI—U— Lincoln Black is very much interested in photography. He may be seen walking around the campus taking pictures of most anything—even unsuspecting people who smile becomingly. They innocently thought perhaps that it was just a joke. We will see when the pictures return. —U—U—U— Over 100 apple pies were baked for the North hall open house. After sampl- ing the pies, I would advise the person who is looking for an ideal girl to be- come acquainted with the cooks. What is being able to make bread when one can make a pie? It was so early in the morning and the boys were so sleepy that as the Ne- braskans were walking along one asked another, "Are you from the Dixie club??" u—u—u— An editor's lie appeared at the top of page one in the last number of this pub- lication. Sorry, but it couldn't be helped. The best laid schemes of mice and edi- tor's gang aft agley. and leaves them muttering. u—U—U— A favorite son is Clark Smith. He is wearing the coat of many colors. You can see its brightness, even in the dis- tance, with the naked eye. U—U—U— The political discussions in South hall wax long and eloquent. The arguments, pro and con, are led by the mighty poli- ticians, Morten Davis and Paul Whitlow. These two gentlemen are forever finding new items to argue and dwell upon. Paul ends a discussion, walking away in vic- torious exhilaration, and meanwhile Morten entertains the same idea while going the opposite way. May the best man win. The staff has decided that these editor's notions (or "Torkelson stuff") are after all not so brilliant; so we are asking the printers to leave out the candle in the headline that appeared here last time. Oh well, the candle was burning low anyhow. If someone has a more fitting symbol, we are open for suggestions. The editorial on school spirit in the last issue of this paper made no mis- statement of fact when it said, "At Union school spirit flares up at the sound of a challenge, as is felt on Har- vest Ingathering field day". A certain college paper which comes to our desk was recently lamenting the lack of a rousing school spirit among their students and was looking forward to the first football game to start things moving. Not saying anything against football games, but it's worth a heap to be in a college where enthusiasm can be aroused by more worth-while endeavors. There was one thing lacking in the Harvest Ingathering program this year; that was the presence of Mr. Shade], our old veteran Harvest Ingathering man. Things just seemed to lack that certain feeling of completeness this first year of his absence when he did not appear with his ever over-flowing enthusiasm on field day. A man is known by the com-partment he keeps. Woops! Hold! But it's al- together possible and not at all im- probable. In fact, men who are com- petent to know have said that the con- dition of a man's room—his private room —is a pretty certain criterion of his pri- vate life. It is no arbitrary decision, they have said, but one supported by scientific observation (by scientific ob- WI -IC'S WI -IC EVELYN KELLSTROM In the sense that any secretary to a college president is competent, that term may well be applied to Evelyn Ann Kellstrom. She was vice-president of her junior class for second semester, and president of the King's Daugh- ters' league that same year. Again she leads out, but this time as associate leader of the Young People's society. Evelyn graduated from Southwestern Junior college, and spent last year at Union. She will get her B. A. in econ- omics this summer. Swimming and ice-skating strike a re- sponsive cord of enthusiasm in Evelyn. In fact, she says, all out-of-doors sports appeal to her. Kansas City, Missouri, was her home until a few weeks ago, when her parents moved to California. Now, she guesses. she just comes from Union college. OPAL KREIGER If having a birthday on the same day as John D. Rockefeller, July 8, means anything, Opal Kreiger should be a huge success. She comes to us from the Argentine high school in Kansas City, Kansas, to take a pre-nursing course. Previous to that she spent three years in the Herington high school in Kansas. Opal enjoys playing tennis and going bicycle riding. Boating is also an en- joyable sport, she said, but neglected to say whether she likes to row. Opal says she likes cats; and she has dogs, inanimate ones, in her room. After leaving Union, Glendale is her next stop. If she doesn't reach that station, she'll remain at Boulder. LUCILE WALKER Managing to get melodious strains from a bass viol isn't Lucile Walker's only accomplishment, for she sings and has joined the chorus. She plays her bass viol in the Sabbath school and in the college orchestras. Lucile comes from Cherokee, Iowa, where she attended the Cherokee Wilson high school. She is taking a pre-nursing course, and hopes to continue at Glen- dale. Swimming and canoeing, which arc practically the same thing, she says, are two of her favorite sports. Fishing and playing basketball come next in line. JOHN GREEN John Green, from Little Rock, Arkan- sas, is majoring in physics and hopes to succeed in electrical work. When he isn't in class he can be seen banging away at some task that involves his chosen servation is meant the observation of the same class of men under the same con- ditions over a reasonable period of time) that men who keep neat rooms are neat also in their appearance and careful about their duties; and though the converse is not always true, it most always happens that he who is careless about his private affairs will be also careless in public. We have now reached the stage In earth's history when we can confidently say we have passed the zipper-age (no, not passed it, but past the novelty of it) and are into the shirt-age. Of course, you know about the blackshirts, the brownshirts, and the silvershirts; and now we are beholding the rise of the greenshirts. They are members of the New History society and wear green as a symbol of the earth created without frontier. They are working for "a United States of the World and a Uni- versal Religion". In an opening speech at the University of Chicago this year youthful President Robert Maynard Hutchins gloomed: "The world seems to be rushing toward the destruction of liberty of conscience, of worship, of speech, and of thought. . . This tendency . . . will not be without its effect in our own country. Already we see signs of the :growth of bigotry and repression . . . we see battle lines drawn that may determine the fate of our form of government, and our genera- tion." We, of course, cannot swallow whole the things we hear; but statements like these deserve careful chewing and digesting. In the face of such imminent conditions as we see around us, surely no one can regret the effort it takes to be in a Christian school. profession. He came to us from South- western junior college at Keene, Texas. and hopes to leave us after four years to take a special course in electrical en- gineering. Tennis and golf are the sports he likes most to indulge in when he's not mending some of Union's broken wires. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: Congratulations, Mr. Editor-in-chief. for the splendid issue of the CLOCK TOWER which reached me this evening. Needless to say, I have read it from cover to cover. I enjoyed every bit of the news from good old Union. I never realized at the time when I was serving in the capacity of secretary- treasurer of the CLOCK TOWER—when I used to have to sacrifice precious hours of study for some of that work—that the paper was as grand as it is. Speaking from the side of an alumnus now, I can truthfully say that it is received with eagerness. I am glad that you have such a large enrolment. I am, of course, proud to sec that Minnesota leads the list. That makes me feel proud to come from that cold northern state. Wish I were there at Union to wear my gopher button. Now that I have spoken so favorably of those in the North, I must say that I am getting along nicely in the South. I really love the southern people and I am getting to feel more at home every day. I am kept busy, so do not have much time to get lonesome, but I do think of you real often. I have sent my seventy-five cents for a renewal already. Don't you think I am a loyal Unjonite. having done that before I was asked? Success and best wishes for a happy and prosperous year. Very sincerely yours, Th:odora A. Wirak. CT Dear Mr. Editor: I'll play reporter for an item or two you might not have. I am spending my hours beside the parental hearth-fire, be- cause we are in danger of a call from Old Man Winter any minute.

A male quartet consisting of Harold Turner, first tenor, Glenn Fillman, second tenor, Austin Zink, baritone, and James Stevens, bass, sang "Let the Lower Lights Be Burning" at the meeting of the Stu- dent Ministerial association, and "Sweet Sabbath Eve" at the vesper service last Friday evening. James Van Divier, student here last year, sang "How Lovely Are Thy Dwell- ings" at the Sabbath service Oct. 17. V‘rava Holm, pianist and accompanist, Irvin Landmark, trombonist, Henry Meissner, violinist, Marjorie Miller, read- er, and Theodore Torkelson, reader, representatives of the music and speech departments presented a program at a clubhouse in Omaha, October 10. The event was the celebration by the Omaha Seventh-day Adventist church of the completion of their successful Harvest Ingathering campaign. FROM OTHER . SCHOOLS As a result of their Harvest Ingather- ing field day Walla Walla college raised two thirds of their $1200 goal the first two days of their campaign. Pacific Union college raised $662 on their field day. That amount, with other funds raised there for that same purpose. brings their goal to $1,047.13. The question is asked by the Collegian: "Does life begin at 40, or in the 1936 freshmen?" Judging from the large fresh- man classes in college this year, at least some of them have good intentions of timing their graduations so that they can make life begin at 40 (the year of their graduation). The Student Movement, the college paper of Emmanuel Missionary college. we see, prefers the smaller size page for their school organ, using smaller pages and more of them. From the Frontiersman, the school pub- lication of Campion academy, we see that last year's CLOCK TOWER editor has taken unto herself a somewhat different avoca- Cca from editing a school paper, namely; that of directing the activities of C2 girls. Their club, the King's Daughters' League, we no'.ice has the same name as a similar crunization at Union. Wonder if there is any connection.

But if we take a telescope, And through its lenses spy, A thousand lights—before unseen— Are twinkling in the sky. And many of these shining points, Which to us, seem so slight, Are mighty suns—compared with ours— A thousand times as bright. These brilliant suns are far away; By science we are told That light which left them at our birth, Will reach us when we're old. Each sun and planet in the sky Is moving like a flash; And though their orbits oft entwine, They're never known to crash. The planets fly around their suns In grand elliptic curves; Each follows its appointed path, Nor from it ever swerves. The countless worlds and shining spheres All in their proper station, Proclaim to men from age to age The omniscience of creation. The vast unmeasured universe Sweeps on in perfect tone As through the depths of space it turns Around its Maker's throne. The One who made the shining orbs, Who guides them by His might, Will lead His trusting children home To realms of glory bright.

COLLEGE VIEW LUMBER 8 COAL CO. FO-36 4711 Prescott IF I WERE A BOY . . . Continued from page 2 frank face, the boy replied, "I'll be honest whether you buy me or not." The person possessed of real honor lays down no conditions for living honestly. I would want people to know I was a man, but I wouldn't make it known by lumbering awkwardly about the place. I would have poise and grace in all my movements. And I would know how to uphold my dignity in any situation. Being a college man, I would naturally be intelligent, but I would not inflict my knowledge on other people. I would be appreciative of the talents of others. And instead of being jealous I would find joy in the small successes of my friends. If I were a boy, I would enjoy the best in music—symphonies, for example— and I would read the best in literature. I would be a good listener and ask ques- tions in order to learn, not merely to keep conversation going. I wouldn't be like the bashful young lover who, in or- der to get the conversation started, twist- ed uneasily in his seat while alone with Harriet in the parlor and inquired: "How is your father?" "Quite well, thank you," was the sim- ple response. After an awkward pause, he made an- other effort. "How's your ma?" he asked. his face reddening. "She's very well, also, thank you." The silence was proving very embar- rassing to him and finally he blurted out: "How—how's your parents?" However, I would hope to have a lady friend who was bit more responsive! And my clothes! I would probably not have many, but I would choose what I wore with care and good taste. I would- n't wear my green-figured tie with my dark blue shirt, nor would I use my plaid shirt and striped tie for formal affairs. My clothes would show a sense of style and suitability which would make me look "just right" on any occasion. To my looks—whatver looks were giv- en to me—and well-chosen clothes, I would add intelligence, seasoned with the salt of humor, sweetened with the sugar of friendliness, flavored with a dash of the paprika of youthful ways, and served with the sauce of thoughtfulness. If I were a boy, I would be a good "mixer." I would try not to appear bashful and shy, no matter how "green" I felt. I would be respectful and cour- teous to everyone and treat all girls as I would treat my mother and sister. I would enjoy my friendships without being sentimental. I would always be the same unaffected "me," whether with boys or girls. I wouldn't be conceited or foolishly-independent. It's all right to be independent in certain ways, but if you just pretend to be independent, someone may catch you at it and make it a game. A young man once wrote, "Dear Clara, pardon me for asking. I proposed to you last night, but have really forgotten whether you said yes or no." She replied: "Dear Will, I remember that I said 'No' to someone last night, but have forgotten just who it is." So, remember, a pretension of inde- pendence won't always give you the de- sired results. If I were a boy, I would want people to like me not for one outstanding qual- ity, but because I was a blend of all pleasing characteristics. If I were a boy, I would hope some day to meet my ideal girl. I would want her to be able to say of me: "Here he comes! Shoulders square as his code of honor, head held high as he holds his thoughts, eyes as bright as his optimism. My ideal man!" —SPECIAL— Mondays and Tuesdays Fingerwave-25c Shampoo and Wave-40c JUANITA'S BEAUTE SHOPPE F0-730 4744 Prescott UNION COLLEGE LAUNDRY 49th El Stockwell Sts. Phone FO-44W Every Laundry Service The World About Us By JAMES DECKER So-called windburn is in truth sun- burn, according to statements made by Physicist William H. Crew of New York University. Professor Crew made a sleeve from a length of inner tube, and placed his arm into it. A 40-mile- an-hour blast was then sent through the tube for half an hour. The result was gooseflesh. The theory drawn from the experi- ment is that windburn is caused by the evaporation of perspiration from the skin, allowing the sun's rays a more di- rect contact than when the skin is pro- tected by the filtering properties of sweat drops. In central Persia stands a town called Yczd. Located in the middle of a vast salt desert, this urban curiosity is two hundred miles from the nearest town. A letter to Yezd from the nearest town spends a month on the journey to its destination. Few of the 60,000 inhabitants ever leave the city. Those who have been away from the town number about fifty or sixty. To nine out of ten citizens the outside world might as well not exist. Nearly the entire town is built of mud, dried in the sun. The furniture—even the beds—are of this material, as are grain barrels, baking pans, and children's toys. Forty-ton clippers will be flying the trans-Pacific routes within the next two years, according to Juan Trippe, presi- dent of the Pan American Airways. En- gineering contracts have been let for six new flying boats weighing 82.000 pounds. The new ships will have a wing spread of 153 feet and a cruising speed of nearly 200 miles an hour. In spite of the Australian Federal Avia- tion board's opposition to sea flights in single engined planes, Miss Jean Batten, 26 years old, took off from Sydney on the last lap of a record flight from England to New Zealand last week.
