Since their distribution Wednesday afternoon, the yearbooks have been the center of attraction on the cam- pus, and pens have been running dry as a result of many autographs. Heretofore, the Golden Cords has been released to the students from two to four days before the close of school. This year it is ahead of schedule. The hard working editor- in-chief, Blossom Church, has spent many days and nights in an effort to make this Golden Cords the best ever, and all agree that she reached the goal. She, along with her asso- ciates, can well be proud of the finished product. The Golden Cords is dedicated to Miss Floda Smith, librarian and in- structor in library science. Several outstanding features are the beautiful modern white and purple covers, "The Days of Our Year," a review of the year's hap- penings by Morten Juberg ( serious or otherwise), the Union College School of Nursing and the interest- ing "campusology" section. Alumni Meeting May 29 The Alumni Association of Union College will hold its annual activi- ties and business session on the Un- ion College campus May 29 in con- junction with the graduation exer- cises of the college. Outstanding item in the program of the evening will be a ceremony honoring the class of 1898. Several surviving members of that class are to be present and a report of their class will be given by Elder M. E. Kern of Washington, D.C. Activi- ties for this class group are planned to center around "The Rock Pile" on the front campus which has stood as their class memorial since their graduation. Elder M. V. Campbell, president of the Central Union Conference and chairman of the Union College board, will be the speaker in a Sabbath vesper hour with music planned by Professor C. C. Engel for whose long service to Union College the new music department building was recently named. The business session will include a welcome by Dr. R. W. Woods, president of the college, a presen- tation of the class of 1948 by the sponsor, Dr. Everett N. Dick, the annual election of officers, and dis- cussion and vote on proposals pre- viously published and recommend- (Turn to page 4, col. 4) Art Hauck Is Winner In Oratory Contest The final judging of the temper- ance oratorical contest, sponsored by the UC chapter of the Ameri- can Temperance Society, was held in a joint chapel May 18. The three winners were: Art Hauck, first place ($25); Frank Hale, second place ($15); and Jackie Johnston, third place ($10). Mr. Hauck pictured the debasing influence which liquor has on the human race, and he placed a defi- nite challenge before his hearers in saying, "There is the picture; there is the problem; there is the chal- lenge. What are you going to do about it? Are you going to go on an isolationist picnic, munching away on a false sense of security, salted with appeasement and sandwiched between slices of hopeful and wish- ful thinking? Or are you going to face the problem squarely?' The judges were the mayor of Lincoln, Hon. Clarence G. Miles; Rev. Virgil A. Anderson, Associate Pastor of St. Paul's Methodist Church; and Elder Leslie Hardinge of Union's theological department. As he presented a medal to Mr. Hauck, Mayor Miles stated that he subscribed wholly to the sentiments of the speakers, and he also men- tioned that he has never touched a drop of liquor in his life. It is the plan of the Temperance Society to make this oratorical con- test an annual occasion. NURSING DIRECTOR TO VISIT EUROPE Miss H. Ruth Bunston, School of Nursing director, will sail on the S.S. Marine Jumper for Europe from New York City May 21 ( to- morrow). Miss Bunston will make an extended tour of England and the continent to visit outstanding University Schools of Nursing. Ap- pointments for her itinerary will be arranged by the International Council of Nurses in London. Miss Bunston will also visit her brother-in-law and sister, Dr. and Mrs. E. L. McDonald, who live in Germany, where Dr. McDonald is in government service. Nineteen Golden Cords will be hung Friday night, May 21, for Unionites who have entered foreign missionary service during the past year. The main speaker will be Elder E. D. Dick, secretary of the General Conference and head of the mission board for the denomi- nation. Faculty members who have been in mission service will be seated on the platform. The cords will be hung by junior and senior class offi- cers. Others who will participate on the program will be Elder A. J. Wearner, Everett Dick, Eileen Mayberry Lantry, E. H. Meyers, Chester Cross, Josephine Griffin Benton, Blossom Church, Dr. Rob- ert W. Woods, Elder T. N. Ander- son, a string quartet, ladies' quin- tet, and the Orpheus Male Chorus. The nineteen cords will be hung to nine different countries in the two hemispheres. The four cords hung to China will represent Don- ald Nash, Willis G. Dick, Eleanor Sutton Dick, and Henry Meissner. To Colombia, South America, have gone Eugene Burley, Ruth Cham- berlain Burley, and Mackay Chris- tiankm. Two will be hung to Pan- ama for Paul Kemper and Vivian Meyers Kemper. One cord will be hung to Argentina for Eva Parker Baerg and two to Honduras for Edward E. Jensen and Nellie Lins- cott Jensen. Nyasaland Africa, Ma- laya, and India each claim hvo also; for Gordon A. Otter and Dorothy Reed Otter to Africa; Henry Pet- erson and Alice Nelson Peterson to Malaya, and Henry Preston and Luella Coleman Preston to India, and to Trinidad will go a cord for Lulu Leech Manuel. Freshmen Win Picnic Laurels With the accent on sport events, the annual school picnic was held Wednesday, May 12, at Pioneers Park with the Freshman class emerging victorious in the various field events. Buses left the school at 9:00 a.m. and returned at 7:30 p.m. but only after everyone had enjoyed the fun of picnicking on a perfect day in May. The Freshman class rolled up a total of 64 points during the day's activities. Other point totals were: Sophomores, 47; Juniors, 38; Sen- iors, 15; faculty, 11. Top individual performance of the day was turned in by Freshman Bob Loomer. The final ball game between the Fresh- men and the Sophomores was won by the Freshmen.

Queen Rocelia Kegley and Her Court at the Gardcn Party 2 CLOCK TOWER, MAY 20, 194S INTRODUCING YOUR STAFF fool Wa4c1 It takes many people working together to complete an important project successfully. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who have worked to make the '47-'48 CLocK TOWER a worth-while paper. The editors, reporters, and typists have worked faith- fully. Miss Virginia Shull has given needed advice and counsel. The business staff, headed by Kent Dickinson, has handled the campaign details, as well as adver- tising and circulation. The press manager, James An- derson, and his assistants, have been very patient when we have caused them extra work or failed to meet a deadline. And the man-behind-the-scene, Mr. Budd, linotype operator, has made the going easier many times. We gladly give our positions to the incoming staff. Our issues will soon be forgotten, and yours will be the center of interest. We wish you much success and we are confident that you will produce a bigger and better paper than ever. B.L.W. We of the CLOCK TOWER staff have held a unique position in student life, for we have had the privilege of reporting and interpreting the events of a school which is God-directed. In our work we have come close to the heart of student life and have felt the pulse-beat of this great institution as it fulfills its mis- sion of training men and women for greater service. We have been conscious of a marvelous spirit of friendliness; of the tireless efforts of consecrated indi- viduals. Yes, and we have been cognizant of short- comings here and there ( as is witnessed by past edi- torials.) However, we have matured as a result of our labors this past year and have come to realize more fully that this is God's school, and that we have been honored to work with Him. K.H. -,%ec44 eclita4 . . . Dear Editor: We have just completed another student election, only I question the validity of the term election. I don't agree with the way this election was carried out. The two-slate ballot was not satisfactory, but this one-slate "yes" and "no" form was decidedly no improvement over the other system. I think that the election could be taken care of much more satisfactorily in another way. Here is my suggestion. Approximately two months before school is out, the elections should begin, being divided into four sections. First, each organization with the counsel of its sponsor, should compile a list of four names for each office. This list should be given to the nominating com- mittee who in turn would choose two to be placed on a two- slate ballot. Then only one election would be carried on every two weeks. First election: CLOCK TOWER, summer Sabbath school, and summer CLOCK TOWER. Election two: Golden Cords. Election three: temperance, special events, and Sabbath school. Election four: mission band, religious life, and social committee. This method would permit students with capabilities who did not occupy an office in one election to qualify for a posi- tion in another. It would also give a chance for students to be suggested who are the most capable for that particular job. This system may not be perfect, but I think it is more democratic than the one carried out last Tuesday. Respectfully yours, (Signed) (We need more students like you who take time to think things through and then express their opinion and give con- crete suggestions. That's the only way that real progress can ever be made.—En.) ewer ASSOCIATED Editor-in-chief__ — ______ Ed Burnett, Elaine Clevenger Ed Ortner, Russell Shawver Earl Wilson, Beverly Perriman Mark Dickinson Irene Timothy _ Bob Townsend Virginia Shull BUSINESS STAYI, Business Manager Kent Dickinson Assistant Circulatiu,, Manager___________ Shirley Davis Circulation Mana: - .1 Pete Roehl Advertising Manager Bill Puiresm Assistant Advertising Manager Norman Doss Secretary-treasurer ._.Herbert Hill Financial Adviser.

Acceptance for mailing at special rate of postage provided in Section 1103, Act of Octo- ber 3, 1917, authorized June 17, 1921.

Subscription rate: 31.00 per year. "Bloo," "Egbert," "K. john," and "Vim" are the characters in the drama. The talk goes something like this: "Check on the spelling of these names, Egbert." "Wasn't that article due yesterday, K. John?" "Vim, will you see what you can do with this?" "O.K., Bloo." This conversation may sound a little mystical but it is really everyday chatter in the CLocK TOWER office. The characters in this drama are the four editors. "Bloo" is Betty Lou Williams, the editor-in-chic'; "Egbert" is Einar Berlin, the associate editor; "K. John" is Kenneth Holland, the managing editor; and 'Vim" is Virginia Mooney, the assistant editor. The CLOCK TOWER goes through many stages in development, the first of these being the planning of the issue. This is done by the editor-in-chief and her three assistants. Assignments are made to the reporters and feature writers with the approximate number of words specified for each writing assignment. Some of the writers have special features that appear regularly in each issue. When these articles are collected, they are edited and rewritten, if necessary. This process takes much time and sometimes nearly gives the ed: tors gray hair. The material is then typed and read for corrections. Miss Shull, the faculty adviser, gives all material a final check before it is taken to the linotype. Linoty ), galley proofs are read at the press. In the meantime the advertising manager or his assistant has secured the specified number of ads. The dummy takes shape next. The dummy is name given to a model form of the next issue. The galley proofs are pasted on a previous issue of the CLOCK TOWER in the order they will appear. The pages are made up at the press and after checked they are locked up in a form for the pres - s. A final check is given to a press proof and when the corrections have been made, the paper goes to press. At this point the editors•sit back and relax and sometimes almost collapse from lack of sleep from trying to keep up with their studies at the same time. But although the paper has required a large amount of time and effort, we have enjoyed working on it. With this issue our job with the CLOCK Tow is completed, and we relinquish the responsibility in favor of a new staff. We have received much enjoy- ment as well as practical experience from our work and we hope you have enjoyed reading our pap— this year.

One evening last week a figure came dashing down the sidewalk toward South Hall. However, the individual was acting very strangely, jumping over the hedges and generally capering around. When someone asked, he was told, "Oh, that is just Eugene Taylor coming back from North Hall." It's an old and worn-out excuse but someone keeps on using it. Mary Como Meyers came walking nonchalantly out of the dining room and at full steam ahead ran right into the door. There were plenty of witnesses for that excuse. home in Beatrice, Nebraska, the week end of May 15. Dr. Everett Watt was the guest of Miss Watt May 5-8. Dr. Watt is prac- ticing dentistry in Coulee Dam, Washing- ton. Hazel and Harold Roll were at Union Sabbath, May 15.

Margaret Pedersen was the guest of Aletha McGirr May 8 and 9. Jackie Horton of Omaha, Nebraska, visited Dick Jester the week end of May 15. Dick had previously spent a week, May 3-9, at his home in Kansas City, Missouri, on business. The library is attempting to keep an up-to-date file of periodicals for refer- ence purposes. To make these a bit more durable, they are bound in volumes. Re- cently the binders returned 300 of such volumes at one time—a record in quan- tity and prompt service. Approximately eleven more days re- main in the month of May, and then it will be June—a glorious month; and not the least in making it such are the many beautiful brides. In anticipation of the coming weddings, bridal showers have been plentiful. Now, if you've been to one shower you have -a rough outline of what all showers are like. Therefore, we will attempt only to mention some of the things which made these various showers different. At the shower for Marian May and Janette Kemper, held May 2 at Miss Smith's home, the girls each had a small bouquet of flowers. From each stem hung a long streamer telling where the gifts could be found. May 11, Alice Fischer and Phyllis Smith were given a shower at Mrs. Roy Beaman's home. Josephine Benton and Elaine Clevenger furnished readings and songs. Ice cream, cake, and punch were served as refreshments. A little prescription box containing medicine capsules was given to Ermalee Garner at her shower. Within each cap- sule was a slip of paper telling where the gifts could he found. Cake and punch were served as refreshments.' Elaine Clevenger had to burst inflated balloons to find her gifts. Within each balloon was a slip of paper disclosing the place of concealment of a gift. Ruth Pitsch, being a secretarial major, was ordered to take a letter at her shower which brought to mind many interesting. events leading up to her engagement. Later, she was asked to do some filing and discovered the gifts concealed in the filing cabinet. Mr. Abel and Mr. Hohensee plan to attend the Westminster Choir School in Princeton, N.J., and the Fred Waring Choir School in Shaw- nee, Pa. Both sessions will be held late in the summer. Wayne Hooper plans to attend a session of the Rodeheaver music institute at Wi- nona Lake, Indiana. In July Mrs. Abel will attend the convention of the American Guild of Organists in St. Louis..

This thesis will be made into a textbook. The Union College band, under the direction of Raymond Knight Casey, returned May 14 from En- terprise Academy, Enterprise, Kan- sas. The 75-piece band gave a con- cert at the academy on the night of May 13. On May 1, Elder R. S. Joyce pointed out the place of music in the church. The following Sabbath, May 8, Elder Leslie Hardinge's subject was the songs of God. Both talks were given in conjunction with the observance of Music Week.

Honorable Mention If we had time and space there would be a number of things we could put in this honorable men- tion story. Take, for instance, the Sabbath school conducted by the Veterans' Club on May 8. Joe Es- pinosa, Vets' Club president, was the leader in planning the special event which included the quiz kids, a group of very young youngsters who answered review questions and also sang "Jesus Is Coming Again" under the direction of four- and-one-half-year-old Ronnie Ca- sey. It was a nice gesture honoring two College View mothers with corsages. We must mention Anne Evens and her arrangements of worth- while material on the ad building bulletin boards. Clever idea! Speaking of bulletin boards, the one in the main lower hall of the library has been very attractively arranged all year. It is with a feeling of pride that tennis enthusiasts can leave the campus this year. "Yes, sir, we do finally have tennis courts at UC and good ones, too." And, looking forward to the or- deals of exam week, we give honor- able mention in advance to those instructors who take note of the fact that the weather is not con- ducive to study and that the shorter and simpler the tests are, the bet- ter! Dr. and Mrs. R. W. Woods, Wayne Hooper, and the Standard Bearers quartet attended the Okla- home Youth's Congress at Okla- homa City on May 14-15. Carl W.

Meet after vespers tomorrow night to have a short re- hearsal for 11:30 church service Sabbath. One of the ways to reach a ripe old age is to stop feeling respon- sible for the whole human race. The graveyards are full of those who have tried it. SABBATH MUSIC Don't miss a special program of Sabbath music at 3:15 in the audi- torium Sabbath afternoon. Guest violinist will be Geraldyne Kelley of Wesleyan University. Miss Kel- ley is a Carnegie Hall audition win- ner and well known to Unionites.
