Preparations &gum for 1944-1945 The eight weeks that have elapsed since the close of school have been crammed with interesting experiences. Traveling from one portion of the field to another, I have found everywhere a live, enthusiastic interest in Union College. We are happy to find such a splendid college spirit as exists in these three unions. Our young people are Christian educa- tion conscious. They desire to be trained in one of our schools. It is indeed good that so many are working so earnestly to be in Union College this fall. Here at the college we are doing our part to get ready. Work is being done in both dormitories and definite plans are being laid to begin the construction of the new science building—a step to a new and better Union. It is a privilege to be in Union College —"The Friendly College," "The College of the Golden Cords." It is here one learns to pitch his own life at a high level and thus have something worth transmitting to others. Union College will bring courage to your life; it will bring a vivid and con- quering sense of the presence of God; it will bring a completeness to your life that will make for success under God and with Him. I am looking forward to the new school year and the possibilities it has for each of you in the building of larger, richer, and fuller lives. Welcome to Union College. —E. E. Cossentine Union College—the school with a great past, a progressive present and a bright future. Founded by men of vision, it has given its sons and daughters a view of the needs of a troubled world. rr VOL.

WHERE THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY'PE DOING LLLul • Betty Imamoto and Mary Komine are canvassing in Colorado. They say the work is hard and the houses are scattered but they wouldn't exchange their work for anything else. Goldie Krogstad is breaking eggs at Atlantic, Iowa. She is on the night shift of the egg drying factory. Dorothy McConaughey is attending the University of Oklahoma at Oklahoma City. She enjoys being home for the summer. Cuba claims June Nickle for the summer. She is working in the union conference office in Havana, and spends her spare time going to the farm and riding horseback. Eileen Mayberry spent the first part of the summer at junior camps in several of the conferences. She was Girls' Director. The Sherards are glad to have Harriette with them this summer at their home in Hurley, South Dakota. Harriette and her marimba will be returning to Union College in September. Mavis and Rolleen Betts are working at the Betts' Variety this summer. Mavis is getting ready to go to Shelton Academy to act as dean of girls and she will also teach several subjects. The Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium has the services of Fern Johnson and Wayne Ramsey for the summer. At the present time Fern is on night duty. Sue Russell is now secretary to the president of the Minnesota conference, Elder C. V. Anderson. She had quite a time getting to the camp ground when she first arrived in Minnesota, but now she thinks it's a swell place. Malts from Cavinesses this summer are made by Donald Tarr. He is spending his vacation working there. Ruth Wiltse is taking correspondence work in psychology, and Pearl Grundset is taking Europe Since 1914. Mary Ann Johnson is also taking Europe Since 1914 and getting ready to he married August 20. Virginia Pate is trying her hand at farming in Lubbock, Texas. Marcy Hartman spent three weeks in Kansas on the farm and helped with the wheat harvest. She spent a lot of time gathering eggs and getting the cows in. Anna Belle Evans is doing something different. She is learning to fly. • (-•))) kr(,)' (63;,1. Evelyn Beebe is taking ten hours of Chemistry at the University of Colorado this summer. She says that it keeps her "plenty busy.” Virginia Lohman just returned from teaching art and lettering at the Colorado junior camp. Mercedes England and her sister, Jerry, are can- vassing in St. Louis. They think it gets plenty hot there. Darleen Lenz was one of the counselors at the Colorado junior camp. Hilda Fern Remley, Betty Bruntzel, and Helen Seitz are canvassing in Kansas this summer. Grace Elliott spent a recent week end in College View. She is now at her home in Washington, D.C. Bonnie Lindquist and Lawrence Rahn have charge of the music at one of the camp meetings. Patricia Segehartt is canvassing in Colorado and Anna Shaner in Wyoming. Down in Southern California Phyllis Follett and Shirley Roos see each other quite often and appear to be enjoying the vacation immensely. Shirley com- mences the nurse's course soon. George Henderson is still hard at work at Pegler's in Lincoln, but finds time to do a little summer school studying as well. Mr. Beaven put in an appearance at the College recently between trips to various campmeetings. No doubt some of you have seen him in the field. If your name doesn't appear in these columns, it's because you haven't written to us. Let's know where you are and what you're doing. Drop a card to Mr. Tarr or to Cathleen Chilson so that on receipt of the next CLOCK TOWER your friends will know your whereabouts.

Twice associate editor of the CLOCK TOWER and linotype operator at the Collep, Press, Laura Jaynes left Lincoln July 27 to spend a few weeks with her parents in Minneapolis. Her many friends regret her leaving but are happy that she will be connected with one of our other schools this fall. As a parting ges- ture the Press sold Laura 100 sheets of cream sta- tionery with double envelopes and cards. (Press) You were always one to ad lib, Laura! forget your room reservations.

It is being planned to start the construction work during September. This building will be a very definite aid in giving more efficient instruction in the science fields. At the present time our Chemistry, Biology, and Physics Departments are housed in very cramped quarters. Then also, the Chemistry Department especially is a fire hazard in the present Administration Building. This new science building will be located on the southwest corner of the college campus between the Carnegie Library building and South Hall. It will be a three-story construction fireproof building. The Physics Department will be housed on the first floor, the Chemistry Department on the second floor, and the Biology Department on the third floor. The design will be similar to that of the new library building. The specifications covering the construction of the new science building are as follows: Walls—Virginia type brick with Kansas Silver- dale limestone trim. Roof—clay tile. Floors—reinforced concrete with either terrazzo, asphalt tile or linoleum. It is further being planned that the absolute minimum of critical materials will be used. Davis and Wilson of Lincoln have been employed as architects for this building. This firm has designed a number of large buildings in Lincoln. Among them are some located on the University of Nebraska cam- pus. We are sure a very beautiful building will be designed and yet one that will be very serviceable to the respective science departments. Ground levels have been taken and they have begun work on the detailed plans. H. C. HARTMAN Light and shadow playing across the green, the famous Clock Tower, and Old Glory Riding the breeze—these hold fond memories for Unionites all over the world. iS10rMiliiS.r10,:t4 aa 4a—dam.

Membership in the chorus is open to all music lovers. Most of the voices in the Venden-Turner evangelistic choir ( 194:3-44 ) were those of college students. This choir contributed much to the success of the campaign. Professor Engel's leadership of the College Orchestra is responsible for many a pleasant occasion. For less serious purposes—campaigns, entertainments, marches, etc.— the Pep Band is a great favorite. ,) (Inn � "'no S I � w tftirtIVIIII Vs II intirtfri Some of our best musiciars are numbered among the academy students. The Academy Girls' Lice Club does a de:ightful piece of work. Much of the beauty of our Sabbath worship hours is due to the inspiring music of our church choir. P. Professor Cadwallader finds it an interesting diversion to conduct a summer school class on the lawn. Praised by Army officials for the thorough training given our young men who have c:.tered the services, the Medical Cadet Corps conti mes to hold an out- standing position in the curricular at Union, enrolling 156 students in its courses. Under the able direction of Colonel E. N. Dick, the originator of the M.C.C. plan for the denomination, both young men and young women are being prepared to serve their country in a non-combatant status. In addition to this work, the pre-nursing and pre- medical courses at Union—with 64 and 62 enrolees respectively—are also contributing to the alleviation of the suffering of humanity i.i these critical times. The new science building will greatly enhance the opportunities of the students LI these departments. The Medical Cadet Corps There is a time to pray—a group of young men meet in their regular prayer band. The young ladies, too, derive daily spiritual strength from their prayer bands. For Friday vespers and other sacred occasions, the Devotional Quartet is always available. 1 f How can Man Albertsen miss that one with such an audience? minsammiiii:p-iiiiiiraimammansuumuminugun• Nu mem immemumnium mini 1111•1111111011011 MEN 01111011111•11101111110101111MMIN �Min 11000 � MIN* � 1110•1111ill•IMINUMMHBUM There is a Time to Play —YESTERDAY— Eight and a quarter million well-spent minutes have ticked by since the Union College Recreation Hall first swung wide its doors to the book-weary, quiz-conscious scholars seeking rest, relaxation, and a chance to "shake out the mental kinks." Since that first initiat- ing skate a year and a half ago the gym's arched rafters have echoed and re-echoed with the sounds of excited basketball crowds, skat- ing music, ping pong and shuffleboard tourna- ments, volleyball, the tramp of marching cadets, physical education classes, marches, lyceums, and the roar of student approval at Saturday night entertainments. Yes, this student Mecca holds a reserved spot in the hearts of the passing parade of Union's own, and it's high time we take a backward glance at a few of those millions of minutes and REMEMBER WHEN— *Those first basketball games when the general idea was to "grap the ball and run." *The girls' played, but we'll quote from an old issue of the Clock Tower: "With mussed hair and screams the Trojanettes and the Shorties opened the season of girls' basketball, Wednesday, March 24, . . . The Spectators shouted noisy approval and advice. . . one sug- gestion, however, why don't the girls re- move those troublesome hair ribbons next time?" *The fine pyramid work in Ladies' physical education and the heated competition in Men's. *The Seitz family. Brother Charley and sister Helen, walked off with all the avail- able ping pong laurels. *Marky Payne's flashy playing plus his Nebraska powerhouse and how it upset all op- position and came out the deserving champs last year. Incidentally Marky was voted top player of the year. *The ultra-smooth skating of Mrs. Felix Lorenz. * The almost professional volleyball players from the faculty mercilessly whipped all corners. *And skating—Ladies' Choice, Moonlight, Belle Couples, etc., etc., and you fill in the rest because we can only remind you of the pleasant associations, the fun, the entertain- ment on the rink. *Milton Johnson's 49 points in one game helped Minnesota beat Dakota-Colorado 114- 32. *And that unbeatable shuffleboard combin- ation of Burt Parker and Dotty McConaughey. Burt knocked out the opposition and Dotty set up the scores. And so we could go on and on reminiscing about those little things which make a year at Union so very much worth while. But per- haps you're interested in what's going on now- -TODAY--- Despite work, classes and warm weather, Union's summer residents do a good job of keeping themselves entertained. It's skating Monday and Thursday nights, plus an hour's practice period for the ever-present "amateurs." As to basketball, "Butler's Bohunks" were nosed out 15-13 in a rip-roaring game last week by Chase's Chicks." The encounter was, to put it mildly, torrid, leaving both players and spectators breathlessly "groggy" at the end. The big interest in South Hall this summer is, of course, softball. With two to four games a week, the local talent is fast developing, and such stars as Chapman, Sietz, Payne, Allen, Loewen, Reinmuth and Dutcher stand out. Yessir, summertime at Union means work hard, study hard, and play hard, but we don't mind; we're looking ahead to another big year. —TOMORROW— If you don't mind a little prognosticating by a gentleman who often misses, let's take a look at our phoney crystal ball and see what's in store for half-a-thousand energetic young bloods in the coming months. Skating—Will have a bigger following than ever before. Three times a week the floor will be jammed with scholars who have strangely metamorphosed in a few minutes from study- bent, serious-miened researchers to a happy- go-lucky, fun-loving crowd of skaters. Basketball—All four of last year's teams will be in action: Cosmopolitan, Dakota-Iowa-Colo- rado, Minnesota and Nebraska. The teams have lost heavily through graduation and the draft but with sharp-shooting Marcus Payne head- ing up the Nebraska aggregation again, we'll go out on a limb and pick them as next year's repeating champs. Ping Pong—Last year's King of the Ping Pong tables was Charles Seitz, but marital responsi- bilities may interfere and give us a new champ next year. Shuffleboard—If Uncle Sam continues his hands-off policy with Alden Chase and Alan Ibertsen, we'll concede all tournaments to them. Volleyball—Big things are shaping up for volleyball fiends come next September. Plans are already laid for an organization similar to our basketball league, and student interest and participation should be great. Yes, indeed, it's a big year coming up. Study and work come first at Union, but when we do play we believe in putting everything Captain Alden Chase just can't bear seeing that basket— so he turns away. Mr. Beaven and Xavier Butler show each other a thing or two � into the game and getting everything out of � It takes no little effort for little Delmar Holbrook to regulate about ping-pong. � it we possibly can. � this large crowd on the rink.
