SEASON'S GREETINGS �or rr SEASON'S GREETINGS VOL. XXI � UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN 6, NEBRASKA, DECEMBER 21, 1945 � No. 6 6 if S it The Faculty and Staff of Union College join in this expression of good will and good wishes for a pleasant holiday season. We are glad that so many of our students are privileged to spend their vacation at home. We trust the renewal of home ties may bring joy and renewed courage to the parents whose loving thought and parental devotion has been providing a stream of physical and moral support for their children. We hope our students will return with renewed purpose and consecration, and a stronger determination to succeed. We renew our pledge as a college fac- ulty to labor conscientiously to prepare the future leaders of the church, the school and the home; that they may worthily carry on the unfinished task which is ours to complete. A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO' ALL. � Robert W. Woods Dean'55 ebriOttnag 6110e55age ifT 140*-14" sot By— E. M. Haase Ph.D Nineteen and one-half cen- turies ago one of the most ad- ventitious happenings of all re- corded history transpired. While an angelic host indited a message of peace to a mellow world, a babe, predestined to plant the Kingdom of God among men, was born in not far-distant Beth- lehem. Slowly, at first, the prin- ciples of the great Teacher were carried to men; but within a few centuries after His death the Christians conquered the Med- iterranean world and well nigh elimated every other religious movement therein. Today, civ- ilization and Christianity are synonymous terms: where Eur- ,pean civilization has spread . r3 Christianity is found; dhere Christianity is carried there emerge civilized men. Tragic is the fact, though, that the professed followers of Jesus have not upheld in an exemplary manner the morality of their Leader. Jesus bade the first man draw the sword in defense of Him to sheath his sword because the Kingdom of God was a king- dom of peace and not a king- dom of war. This year much of the Chris- tian world will celebrate its first peacetime Christmas in seven years. Few now doubt that war is fiendish and base. Yet within this hour of pain- ful travail all hope is not fled nor need futility stamp every plan for peace. As humiliating as the actions of Christian na- tions have been and are, now, while a Conference is being conducted at Moscow this Christ- mas season to salvage a sinking civilization, is the time to un- furl the banner of the Christ. Pagan and godless nations have seen Christian nations, reeling the viciousness of unexpected and devastating attacks by land, sea and air, admirably rise again and fight to a victor's end for a better world. Pagan and god- less nations have suffered de- feat; their national cults, dis- credited, no longer appear in- fallible. As the world was ready nineteen centuries ago for a new gospel, so the world is ripe to day for the Christian's consu- mating conquests under the pri- mitive Cross. Smith Receives M.S. in absentia Miss Floda Smith received her Master of Science degree from the School of Library Science at the University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois. The degree was granted in absentia in October of this year. Miss Smith has spent the past four summers attending the University. "I enjoyed taking my work in the summers," said Miss Smith, "for I could put all I learned into practice during the winter months." Collegiate School Of Nursing Will Give B. S. Degree Union College has establish- ed a history of 'firsts'. It was the first Seventh-day Adventist in- stitution to become accredited in the educational circles. The present Medical Cadet Corps, so valuable to all our youth in the late war, had its beginnings at Union. In 1943, Union be- came the first denominational college to set up a placement bureau for the benefit 'of its students. And now it has become the first institution to establish a collegiate school of nursing. Plans for a closer organization between the college and the Boulder-Porter Sanitarium of Nursing have been underway for several years. The curriculum is being set up in counsel with the denomin- ational department of education, the Colorado State Board of Nurse Examiners and the Ne- braska State Bureau of Educa- tion and Registration for Nurses, President E. E. Cossentine an- nounced. Miss H. Ruth Bunston, R.N., M.S., director of nursing educa- tion at the college, who laidthe plan before the Nebraska state officals, stated that the bureau was most cooperative. The plan will come up for approval at the February meeting of the state Bureau to be held in Lincoln. Under the new plan, Miss Bunston pointed out, the college will work directly with Boulder Sanitarium and Porter Sanitar- ium-Hospital, the program in all three institutions being close- intergrated. For example, stu- dent nurses will be returned from Colorado near the close of their clinical experience in order to gain the latest in classroom theory. At the end of 48 months, students who qualify under the program will receive a diploma in nursing and a bachelor of science degree, both from Union College. Hitherto, under a less unified program, students took at least 57 months to attain the same ends. (Cont. on page 3 ) Home Ec. Club Attends Meeting Members of the Union Col- lege Home Economics Club attended the annual Ellen K. Richards dinner, November 29, 1945, in honor of the one hun- dred and third birthdate of this great 'woman founder of the Home Economics Club of th University of Nebraska. Mrs. Roscoe Hill spoke after the dinner. Mrs. Hill is a grad- uate of the Home Economi.2s Department of the University. She discussed what the future holds for college girls of today and their relation to home economics. Miss Margaret Davis, a for- eign fellowship student from Brazil, sang two Portuguese songs. Miss Jean Potadle gave a tribute to. Ellen K. Richards, and told of her life and the success to which she attained Miss Gloria Brummer reported on the Betty lamp, its origin and how it became the symbol of home economics. Miss Rose Dunbar, home economics sec- retary, sang a solo. The closing prayer was given by Miss Lois erir er. "Control the material thinaF which are about you and mal- natural and social forces do your bidding in order that you may have time and energy to make life beautiful and gra- cious." � Ellen K.

F. Handel's oratorio, THE MESSIAH, were given by the Oratorio Society during the vesper seriice Fri- day evening, December 14. ThQ performance was made to a capacity audience. � A mass chorus presentation of Handel's oratorio such as this has not been given for a number of years. Featured as soloists were Lorraine Waller, Anna Lee Lyon-Schander, and Esther Smith-Stout, sopranos; Frances Chamberlain, contralto; Orvin Fillman, tenor; and Robert Lee .McManaman, baritone. Mankind has considered, and perhaps rightly so, that THE MESSIAH is the crowning work of Handel's genius, if not the most splendid achievement in musical art. The musical score of this eter- nally beautiful work was com- posed in twenty-four days Text of the work was written by a poor English clergyman, Char- les Jennens. AS I SEE IT 'Twas a week before Christmas And all through the town, Every store was open But not a gift could be found. I was on my way to do my Christmas shopping when I met a man who looked like he had fallen off a five-story build- ing into a cement mixer. His clothes were tattered; his eyes were blood shot; his face was haggard and drawn with pain. But as he staggered up the walk he triumphantly clutched a small brown package. "Where 'yuh been," I asked, "to Phys. Ed.??' kepresentatives study Latest lviethocts A council to encourage tie oetter understanding aim 1.1;011- mg of children opened '1 nurs- nay night, Decemoer 13, at the l,oliege View Church, and con- unueu over the week-end. 'here were three sessions each morning and afternoon and two each evening with lec- tures given ny Elder Berner, educational secretary of the central Union; Elder Leon i‘000nis, pastor-evangelist of the st. Louis, Missouri church; and Airs. Striplin of California. Elder Heiner led discussion groups and general topics. Eider ,Robbins discussed the psychology of the child. Mrs. Striplin spoke on work in the kindergarten, primary and junior divisions. Delegates to the council were heads of all the lower divisions of the Sabbath schools of Ne- braska. The purpose of the council was to get a better un- derstanding of the child in order to help win them to Christ and to further the training of the teachers. THE MESSIAH is fuii color and contrast around the central theme—the mystery of Redemption. The oratorio may be divided into three sections; the prophecy of the Messiah's coming; His suffering, sorrow, and death; and His resurrection and kingly reign. This is the first performance of the Oratorio Society, a part of our ever-growing music de- partment. Hayden's CREATION will be a presentation of the second semester. The Oratorio Society is an organization made up of Union College choral groups, the Col- lege View Church Choir, and the Lincoln City Church Choir. The 115. voice chorus is under the direction of Adrian R. M. Lauritzen, professor of music. Assisting him were Miss Mabel Wood and Lloyd Jackson, or- ganists; and Mrs. N. L. Krog- stad and Mrs. H. C. Hartman, pianists. By Jolly Juberg He laughed derisively and holding up the package said, "It's worse than that. I just finished my Christmas shopping." Presents fall into many differ- ent classes. The "no never,never never" group includes purple and black striped neckties, per- fumes a la "Night in a Swamp," and carpet slippers size 14l[2. There are others that cost $6.95 and look like $1.98. Some appear like $6.95 and cost $17.98. An- other group looks like $19.95 and costs $5.00. (I couldn't find any like this.) Did you ever go through a Mr. H. C. Hartman, business manager for more than 10 years, is leaving the college to accept a call to organize a new school, it was announced by Pres. E. E. Cossentine. H. C. Hartman Mr. Hartman came to Union during the depression of the 30's. Through his guidance the in- dustrial plant of the college was crystalized. The furniture fac- tory, which is now the largest college industry, was established, thus providing financial assist- ance to many students through the years. The influence of the students who wily were able to obtain an education by taking advantage of industrial employ- ment offered by the college shall never cease. The spirit of expansion and growth with its benefits to the student was one of Mr. Hartman's greatest con- tributions to Union College. Well known � Mr. Hartman had been. instrumental raising funds to construct-five of the buildings on the campus, the Industrial building, the' Li- brary, Recreation Hall,' Science Hall and Music Hall. As a mem- ber of the school's building com- mittee, he had helped to draw up plans for its five-year build- ing program. A graduate of Union in 1921, he served as business manager of two denominational second- ary schools, one in South Da- kota, the other in Iowa, for near- ly 13 years. In 1935 he returned to the college as business mana- ger. Mr. Hartman has left for Centralia, Mo., near which the secondary school is to be lo- cated. His immediate work at the Missouri school will be to direct the construction of an ad- ministration hall, dormitories, and industrial arts and other buildings. School will begin next fall. Mrs. Hartman, a member of the college's music faculty, will continue to teach until the end of the semester, when she will leave to join her husband.

NEBRASKA ,t‘ ,tt 4 Appreciation By Marilyn Brown How can we doubt His wonder- ful love? How can we question His might. When God sends beauty down from above To clothe the Earth in white? All night long God has been at work, And now, wonders we behold; For out of the darkness we en- ter the light And feast on the magic untold! God has been gracious; He has been kind, • Love never-ending we see, For God's own picture painted on Earth Makes worthwhile, Eternity. "Teachers of Tomorrow" Receive Club Pins "Teachers of Tomorrow" and the lamp of knowledge were inscribed on the pins which were presented to the members of the club at the December 12, regular meeting. After receiving the pins, the members of the Teachers of To- morrow club visited the College View Public grade school for observation of the various class rooms. There are 23 charter members of the active club. Bunston Explains New Curriculum In Nursing Club The new nursing program was introduced by Miss H. Ruth Bunston at the December 12, meeting of the nursing club. She explained the details in- volved in the collaboration of Union College and Boulder- Porter Sanitariums which will offer a Bachelor of Science de- gree to nursing students. AMOS TO HEAD HOME EC. CLUB Thirty-two young women were present for the organiza- tion of the Home Economics Club. The officers elected for the year are as follows: jean Amos, President Betty Holbrook, Vice-pres- ident Mary Bess Johnson, Secretary Betty Jane Clew, Treasurer The program committee con- sists of Jamie Halverson, Mil- dred Christensen and Ruby Ann Trogdon. A committee was chosen to draw up a constitution for the club. They are Audrey Lamb, Haziel Clifford and Jamie Hal- verson. ALPHA TAU SIGMA HEARS R. G. MOTE The fact that God assists the humble, efficient colporteur in his work, was emphasized in the colporteur experiences related to Alpha Tua Sigma, Tuesday, Dec. 11, by Elder R. G. Mote, Nebraska book and Bible House Manager. Elder Mote spent several years in Bolivia, Argen- tina in the publishing work. "Colporteurs are channels of light," he said; "they are the men the light comes shining through." He gave this as his definition of those who witness for Christ. Pleading the great need for more colporteurs, Elder Mote stated that there is no other work in which one can be a better witness for God. One colporteur was led to bring the message to the Mote family, whose five children have all become workers and mission- aries, one of whom is Elder R.G. Mote. "That is why," said Elder Mote, "I believe God assists the humble efficient colporteur in his work." Marie Musta, better known to last year's students as "Skeet- er," was a welcomed guest of Ardis Rasmussen, December 1-3. She explained she "musta get back" for various and sundry reasons, when asked to stay and take up once more the textbooks. KAPPA THETA GOES CAROLING AFTER ANNUAL PARTY Marimba music and candle- light softened the atmosphere as the women of Kappa Theta gathered around the gift laden Christmas tree in the worship room of North Hall the evening of December 16. The bells tinkled merrily as Santa with his pack on his back tip-toed into the room. He sur- prised no one, however, for tour hundred eyes peered at him expectantly. Each waited her turn to receive a gift and to learn who had been her secret friendship sister for the past few months. Coramae Thomas gave the reading, "The Other Wise Man." A trio sang carols, then Margaret Reed told some of the happen- ings after Christmas in " 'Twas the Night After Christmas." After the program, the girls went out into the cool, crisp air to sing carols at the homes of faculty members. They returned to North Hall to "warm up" with hot chocolate and doughnuts. INDIA DISCUSSED IN IRC The political situation in India was discussed by Elder H. H. Mattison in the December 12, meeting of IRC. Elder Mattison is formerly from India. "The Mongolian is very dif- ficult to conquer," commented the speaker, "but after he is conquered, he makes the best of citizen:' The Indian police- men are gigantic in heignt and valour, and abide by the letter of the law. India is a land of extremes, it was learned in the meeting. The variety of languages surpasses that of the European continent. India possesses the coldest and the hottest climate; the tallest and the smallest of people; the most learned and the most ig- norant of all nations. Happy Days These are happy days for Mrs. Mavis Beckner!

We found, however that listening brings its, own rewards. Here then, are some excerpts from the notebook of your CLOCK TOWER Eavesdropper, most of them be- in somebody's pet peeves. 'I wish," said Faye Hendrick to her roommate, Betty Mc- Eachern, "I wish that people would stop grumbling all the time about the food." "I know," responded Betty. "It would be different if there were some basis for it, but as a whole we are served delicious meals." Faye said she guessed that people who have come to the end of their conversational rope, having already exhausted_ the possibilities of the weather, find it the path of least resistance to comment, "What, no beans to- day!" or something equally brilliant. Miss Smith, over in the library was heard holding forth val- iantly on the subject of lawn-cut acrossers. "Don't they have any pride in the looks of the cam- pus?" she wondered rheto- rically. "We didn't use to make towpaths all over itl I think they ought to put something in the CLOCK TOWER about it!" Muriel Chenburg isn't the only North Hall resident we've heard wishing that the fellows would seat the girls in the din- ing room, but her reaction is typical. "For one thing," she asked, "how are our young men going to know how to act when they take a young lady to dine in a restaurant? How are we to be cultured and refined if our college young men and women don't learn the rudiments of good form?" Inasmuch as it's nearing the end of the semester, outside reading is coming in for its share of complaints. "A moderate amount of outside reading is splendid." said George Carpen- ter."I'm not so bad off person- ally, but my friend feels that his teachers are all ganging up on him. He has eight hours of it a week, which means that he spends all day Sunday getting his week's reading done. Some students' eyes won't stand up under that kind of a program." At least three fourths of the present conversations touch on the Christmas situation. Any number of us have been waiting to get some money from home so that we can go downtown and buy Mom and Dad Christ- mas presents! Last year's Seniors! �Academy graduates!

So it is with a spirit of ope, fortified by a feeling of thankfulness that this newspaper asks for every one of you The Greatest Gifts Christmas is not a mere giving and receiving of presents. It means giving something of ourselves to others. For that is the spirit of the Prince of Peace, whose birth we celebrate. This year more families in your community have given the supreme gift—the offering of sons for their country. Stars on some service flags have turned gold. In the past few months and years, this paper has proudly recorded the deeds of those who serve, fight and die, if need be, that we may be free. The families of these heroes know the true meaning of Christ- mas. For they, too, have given a Son. They can know somewhat the feelings of the Great Giver who hung out the service star that blessed night over the Judean hills, as He sent forth a Son to service. Many of us cannot match such records of high sacrifice. But we can give and we can serve in other ways. We can offer good will and kindness, charity and understanding. We can help the returning servicemen in our community to build a brave new future. We can cheer the lonely homes of those boys still far away. We can speed the day of peace on earth, justice and brotherhood, by giving of ourselves to the service of others. We cannot give the greatest gift, but we can add new mean- ing and strength to the age-old but ever-new greeting—A MERRY CHRISTMAS. � Mercedes England Thrisfinaslii ells Reporters Byron Blecha, Janet Campbell, Henry Harm, F Holmes, Morton Juberg, Mary Ellen Owen, Rosella Willeta Weller, Bob Widener, Muriel Chenburg.

CLOCK TOWER, DECEMBER 21, 1945 � 3 Car de Touter Union College Academy The air felt brisk in the still- ness of the night. The rushing water of the creek dashing against the rocks broke the heavy tenseness which pervaded the surrounding country side. Groups of sheep could be seen huddling close to the shadowed forms of the shepherds on the nearby hillsides and in the dis- tance the little town of Bethle- hem lay basking in the shim- mering starlight. The night was cold and still. Suddenly an angel appeared unto the shepherds with a mes- sage of hope and cheer and the hills were soon resounding the chords of the anthem sung by a multitude of Heavenly hosts. y y There was an atmosphere of excitment in hospital ward B. That very morning a new wave of casualities hit the now over- taxed hospital facilities. The latest group was brought in from the Burmese theater of action where the fighting had been the most rugged. There was a bustle of activity in the far corner of the room for the orderlies had just brought in a blond, curly- headed chap. His lips were white and his breath was heavy as his face writhed in pain. Quickly the nurses came and prepared him for surgery, which would remove the splinters from his left leg. The outlines of the ruined buildings near this hospital in the Philippines stood out in bold silhouette against the setting sun. The tide of war had worked its havoc, but in the midst of de- struction the hospital, a symbol of civilization, still stood intact, except for minor damage. Here American boys could be given the medical attention they so badly needed. The ward was silent as the shadows of the evening stole in. A muffled moan could be heard midst the irregular breathing. Over in the corner the form of By George Larson the young boy moved restlessly as he called in a faint voice for the nurse. Again and again he called. Swiftly the nurse moved through the ward to the suffer- ing lad. In a hushed voice he begged the nurse to write a few words to his mother; somehow he felt that he must get a mes- sage through—no peace of mind would come until he had. "Please," the nurse pleaded, "you must try to fall asleep now, you're too weak to talk just yet." With a deploring look the boy again requested that a message go through. Quickly the nurse wrote as the words came forced from his lips. "Dear Mom, I will—be home soon. God has saved my life. Dave." The blond head lay exhausted on the pillow. Tenderly the hands of the nurse wiped the perspiration from his brow. There was a slight murmur, the nurse bent over close and again the words. "I will." "Please, God, grant this, I pray," whispered the nurse. It was the night before Christ- mas, and the wind blew wisps of snow about the houses of the little village. The whole settle- ment was in a gay holiday mood and why not! Was not this the the first peaceful Christmas season for many years! People were in gay spirits; but if one noticed closely, there were some mingled with the others, whose facial expressions were not so gay. A thin column of smoke as- cended from the chimney of the big house on the hill. The atmos- phere about it was dark and dreary. In the past this house had been a home where a father. mother, and son had lived and loved. Yes, there were many happy memories associated here. But tonight one could see the form of a mother standing alone by the big window, a mother whose heart was broken. Mother Brown's eyes were soft and moist as she watched the lights go on here and there in the settlement below. The reflection of light from the Christmas trees seemed to play mystical shadows on the snow outside, however her thoughts were far away from the scene before her. This old world had 'been most cruel to Mother Brown. It had been 'years since her husband had passed away and left her alone with Dave, her only son. Then he too left to fight for something called freedom. Three months had passed since word had come that Dave was missing in action. Tonight her mind was heavy with grief, if only some word would come. Despairingly she fell to her knees in prayer, "Oh God," she began. A knock at the door in- terrupted her. Yes, it was a message—just a few words—"I will be home soon. God has saved my life. Dave." She clutched the message close to her heart and knelt by the win- dow. A group of young carolers were passing the big house on their way to the church in the village. They passed not no- ticing the form of a gray-haired mother bent in prayer by the window, her face lifted upward to heaven. Y Ah! listen! Where was the singing coming from? Young Dave sat up in bed to listen. His eyes were bright and his strength had come back to him. Soon he would be on his way home. Surprised, he turned to- ward the door just in time to get a glimpse of a group of nurses who were singing carols as they passed. � Faintly, the strains of "Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace, good-will toward men," seemed to fade away. Yes, angels did appear—An- gels of Mercy. 13 Academy Students In "Messiah" A number of academy stu- dents had the privilege of help- ing make the rendering of The Messiah a success last Friday night. Those who sang in the oratorio were Art Sutton, Margy Roy, Eugene Dusbabeck, Eliza- beth Jensen, Joan Schmidt, Shirley Sorenson, Lloyd Sundin, Eugene Syfert, Flora Maye Beitz, Evelyn Martin, Dick Warner, Benita Bardley, and Carol Ellis. Her Name Is Arna As one of our outstanding academy pupils let us consider Arna Christenson. Arna was born in San Jose de Costa Rica. When she was yet very young she had the opportunity to travel along the coast of Europe and England. Arna has lived in both Central and South America. She says she can also include twen- ty-two of. the states in her ad- ventures. Area's middle name is Lois and he pet word is "skip it." One of her hopes is that her father will come home from the mission field this spring for a while. School of Nursing (Con't from page 1) Since 1932, schools of nursing in Seventh-day Adventist hos- pitals and sanitariums have ex- ceeded all state requirements by requiring a year of college pre-nursing for admission. This pre-nursing course is still to be included in the new, closely uni- fied program. Approval by the Central Union Conference board and by the Union College board came at the close of three years of study and a year of intensive survey by a committee, Miss Bunston re- vealed. Miss Blanche Graves, R. N., Nebraska state director of ed- ucation and registration for nurses, told Miss Bunston that "Union is off to a good start on the collegiate school of nursing program, and I see no reason why it should not qualify." She declared that 'the estab- lishment of this program will contribute toward the advance of nursing education in the state." When Union completes arrange- ments for the establishment of the program, it will be the third college in Nebraska to have done so. About 70 pre-nursing students are enrolled at Union this year. The two supporting hospitals each has a capacity in excess of 100 beds. Affiliations are already in effect with Denver General Hospital and with the Univer- sity of Colorado School of Nurs- ing for special clinical services.

Nelson brate from the force of the pres- ses for we will have a new building. Perhaps then w e will be able to put in another cylinder press which we need." The twenty-one student workers who put in over four -hundred working hours weekly share in this hope for greater improvements and for greater expansion for coming days. One morning it was so cold when the nurse told the flu patient she had a temperature, the patient wondered if it were below zero. Y Y Y Did you hear about the North Hall girl who washed her hair and dried it in the drying room? Vacation Travel As the Christmas season and vacation approaches, a definite change can be observed in the types of reading material se- lected by college students. Whereas during most of the year, the educational section of the daily newspaper, other- wise known as the pictorial page, receives first attention, at this time of the year a more weighty type of literature ap- pears. Let us consider one eN ample of this, currently popular form of literary divertissement. On the front cover appear,. the title "Wooden Axle anu Western Timeca oie" in boa, letters. Either because of moil esty or prudence, the author's name is not given, but on the inside front cover we are ad- monished to "send complaint:, or suggestions to � , Pres- ident, General Passenger Agent, and Claims Agent." Beneath this is a short introductory par- agraph entitled "General Infor- mation." Herein are found such interesting bits of knowledge as "before entering a train, pas- sengers should ascertain from ticket agent or Trainman wheth- er the train stops at the station which is their destination." ( What profound, irrefli talk logic is ascertained in that brief statement.) It may be discovered that the Wooden Axle and Western Railroad Company is not re- sponsible for inconvenience re- sulting from errors in timetables 7 or failure to make connections. This statement need not be ex plained to the experienced traveler. We have given just an intro- duction into this masterpiece of timetables, in the hope that it will inspire you to read Ruth- into the literary achievements of the 'cross country experts.' In closing we would like a thought twister to "stump the ex- perts." "Passengers destined to points at which through trains do not stop may use through train to last stopping point short of passenger's destination and transfer to first local train leaving this point for the pas- senger's point of destination." The newswriting class, with Professor Tarr, visited the Linc- oln Journal and followed with interest the procedure of pub- lishing the December 5, evening Journal. 0:414.•11•0•04041MM.0041=-04•0.0,M1•00.4.0•1=•••: 4 Dr. Frank T.

Its humble origin dates to 1898 when the Union College board voted . that all faculty members work manually some time each day. An old foot-pow- ered job press and a scattering of worn type was the answer of one of the enterprising teach- ers. First located in the basement of North Hall, its enlarged im- provements forced a move to the old bakery building just be- hind and north of the girls' home. At the present time, among the various printed jobs of the College Press are five periodicals which are published either weekly or bi-monthly. Five mil- lion tracts were printed last year Which iferially aided in bririg- ing the total paper consumption to fifty-five tons. With the present cylinder presses, various job presses, and Henry Harm was beseeched to assist in the "grand opening" of the kitchen door one frosty morning last week. Because of his peculair ability along this line, Henry was of immediate value. There's a hobby that paid. Y Y In keeping with the current trend, the UC library displays as a book well worth reading, "Colds, Their cause, Prevention, and cure." It is sincerely hoped that the flu-rush will end with the end of the year. Y Y Y Freshman initiation has taken on the traditional aspect of the annual "sweat and tears" over research papers. Foot-notes may be noted descending in various lengths from any freshman composition manuscript, and their worth may well be realized by sympathizing ex-sufferers. . At last College View fore- casts that a "white Christmas" will become more of a reality tha.i a dream. Many of our 'I ex., colleagues were thrilled with their first opportunity to tread upon a "live snow-blanket" which first covered the campus last Wednesday. With the Pacts CHRISTMAS EVERYWHERE by Phillys Brook Everywhere, everywhere, Christmas tonight! Christmas in lands of the fir- tree and pine, Christmas in lands of the palm- tree and vine, Christmas where cornfields stand sunny and bright. Christmas where children are hopeful and gay, Christmas where old men are patient and gay, Christmas where peace, like a dove in his flight Broods o'er brave men in the thick of the fight. Everywhere, everywhere, Christmas tonight! For the Christ-child who came is the Master of all; No palace too great, no cottage too small.
