MCVAGH IS SPEAKER Emphasizes the Necessity of Belief in Christ as the Creator Pastor McVagh, president of the Iowa conference, who spent the week-end in College View, spoke at the Friday even- ing vesper service. He gave Christ's de- scription of the true disciple as one who would remain firm in God's word, adding Paul's declaration that those who see Jesus in the Word of God would find their lives changed. The speaker emphasized that the young people who are firmly grounded in the Word of God would not be harmed by the scepticism put forth by those who are interested in that kind of so-called higher education. Pastor McVagh did not think that one should be afraid of the teachings of modern criticism, because in doing so he would not be able to meet and refute its claims. But he advised that all should show the wisdom of the hen, who "picks over the chaff and picks out the wheat," and that sources which are largely chaff should better be rejected. In commenting on the theories of evo- lution as contrasted to the story of crea- tion, the speaker declared that the first chapters of Genesis are of foundational importance. He said that man-made phil- osophy may become as dangerous as the tree of knowledge of good and evil was in Eden. Pastor McVagh said that young people of today are living in an atmosphere of the unreal and that they try to act out these unreal situations, making hu- man life suprisingly low in value. "The only remedy is believing the gospel of Jesus Christ, - he declared. "The culture and teaching of higher education alone will never bring us out of these condi- tions." Student Describes First Impression Of Union College BY EVA WILKINSON It seems rather strange to write on this subject when it is almost time to say good-bye, but a Freshman does not for- get his first impressions. Assigning this topic is our dear old school's way of fishing for compliments. Truthfully, though, the very first im- pression that I received of Union was a chill. I felt as if I had reached for a hearty handshake and clasped a wet glove. I had walked from the street car up that cinder road— I got two cinders in my right shoe and one in the other—to North hall under a burden of two ele- phantine suitcases, an overnight bag, a purse and a package containing my Bible and song book that I just couldn't squeeze in anywhere; and somehow I missed the grandeur of the cedars, the verdure of the lawn, and the hospitality of our big porch. Gasping for breath, I set down my burden and advanced timid- ly. Everyone had gone to dinner, and the place was deserted. I walked in hesitant- ly. My footfalls echoed loudly down the empty corridors. What should I do? I felt like a cat in a strange garret. I am sure no new worlds will ever be discover- ed by me; the wander-lust was entirely omitted from my make-up. I love famil- iar places. When I find myself in a strange place, I always feel lost; r can never think of the' right thing to do or say no matter how I may have figured it out beforehand. Nothing ever turns out the way I think it will, and I always feel as out of place as a straw hat in a blizzard. So I sat in a corner of the lobby and made myself as small as possible and waited for something to happen. Several girls passed by, but I didn't have the courage to stop them, and as each new pair of eyes took its inventory, I retreated farther and farther into my corner. This chilly atmosphere was soon dis- persed, however, by a sunny south wind impersonated by another Freshman girl. In the warmth of her friendliness I immed- iately began to thaw out, and by the time Miss Rees came to show me a room, I was quite comfortable again. Then a benevolent third-floor girl un- dertook to teach me the how, the why, and the wherefore of all things. By the time I was through registering I felt quite at home. It was then that the joy part began. The dream of a life-time was being ful- filled. I could never express on paper how I enjoyed those chapel talks, the seminar, Friday evening meetings, and church services. Those who have al- ways had those privileges can never understand. I think of the night we all lined up and shook hands for an hour and a half. I (Continued on page four) WELCH IS APPOINTED AS FIELD SECRETARY Large Group of Students Planning to Enter Colporteur Work The Coming Summer Lowell Welch, college junior, has re- cently been appointed field secretary for Missouri, where he will take up his work at the close of the school term. Mr. Welch has had several years' experience in colporteur work, acting as assistant field secretary in the Nebraska conference last summer. Nearly sixty have definitely ar- ranged to enter the colporteur work this summer as a result of the colporteur in- stitute held here last week, which en- joyed an interest that has not been equaled in recent years. The representa- tives from the different states, with the exception of North Dakota, were present, also from the three union conferences, from the General Conference, and from the district branch office of the Pacific Press. Two meetings were held each day, a forenoon one, which was so arranged that a student could attend every meeting yet not miss more than one recitation from one class during the week, and an evening meeting held at 6:40. Pastor C. E. Weaks, representative from the Gen- eral Conference, conducted a series of sales studies. STUDENTS TO APPEAR IN RECITAL The department of speech will present three of the advanced expression students in recital Saturday night, May 2, in the college chapel. Those who will appear are Myrna Beth George, Marie Olson, and Norma Hilde. They will be assisted by the string quartette: Gwendolen Lamp- shire Hayden, Clayoma Engel, La Merne Walker, and Lyle Freemeyer, with Mary Hannah Thompson, accompanist. SENIORS LEAD IN SABBATH SCHOOL Girls' Quartet Sings "He 'Will Hide Me,” A Song Arranged By S. Ledington THE REPORT IS SUNG Girls in Costume Representing Mission Fields Present the Great Need of Medical Workers By ERNEST HANSEN The senior class had charge of the Sabbath school last Sabbath, the pro- gram showing originality, depicting a scene that so often is realized in individ- ual lives at graduation time. The principal feature of the program was a scene in which Mildred Rhoads acted the part of a graduate from a medical college. The question that con- fronted her was where should she spend her life. Should she put out her sign in some American city where there already were so many doctors, or should she heed the calls of needy fields beyond. A tremendously important question it was and one which confronts the members of the senior class, who are soon to help meet the needs of a sick world—yes, a world that is indeed very sick, spiritually as well as physically. Seven girls cos- tumed to represent the countries of Japan, China, Africa, Philippines, Chosen, and the Mohammedan world,forcefully empha- sized the urgent need for women doctors in those countries. They presented the urgent calls that come to those who are finishing their preparation and deciding where and how their lives are to be lived. Leola Castle represented Japan; Mary Brebner, China; Dorothy Foreman, a mis- sionary to Africa; Esther Johnson, the Philippines; Irma Watt, Chosen. The final decision to answer the call to India was tinged with regret, for it meant answer- ing but one of the calls. Norma Hilde acted as leader of the school. Wilbur Essig offered prayer and the report of the previous week was given in a solo sung by Lilah Baer. The Misses Baer, Lutz, Parmelee, and Rhoads sang, "He Will Hide Me." COMPOSER HAS RECOGNITION Through his sacred cantata, "Prince of Life," which had its first presentation a few months ago in the College View church, recognition has come to Profes- son Ledington's work as a composer in the form of a request for his biography to be included in a reference work and directory of American musicians which is being compiled for publication within the next few months. Mortality Among Freshmen Due to Varied 'Epidemics' By IRENE ORTNER It is a tragedy that so relatively few Freshmen attain to the rank of senior. The present senior class is a shining ex- ample of some who have attained, for we have it on good authority that each mem- ber of the class was at one time a full- fledged "Freshie." The subject does not appear in such a pathetic light, however, when the various plagues, epidemics, and upheavals that beset the way of the Freshman are con- sidered. Perhaps the earliest fatalities result from that pernicious disease diagnosed by the patient under various heads, but commonly known as home-sickness. The only child in the family (especially the one who has been spoiled) is more sub- ject to this malady than are those who have already learned the ways and means of sharing with someone else. Freshman rhetoric is the cause of heart trouble to those who are naturally weak in the why's •and wherefore's of commas, dashes, and exclamation points. This affliction has two very opposite effects on its victims. Some are blissfully ignor- ant of their dangerous condition while by far the greater number are painfully aware of the graveness of the situation. It is well to note that the Freshman does not, as a general rule, succumb to so-called "fallen arches" or "dandruff." It is quite probable that innocence acts as an antitoxin in this case. There is another disorder which usually does its work during the summer vacation after the Freshman year. The symptoms are a general lack of interest in school, a sudden desire to be a wage-earner, or a deep conviction that mother and father cannot exist without him. The origin is supposed to be the deep-seated repug- nance to being anything but a Freshman. Another affliction which sometimes as- sumes the proportions of an epidemic is one which is more malignant after the first, second, or even third year of suc- cessfully combatting other plagues. Num- erous parlor dates are thought to be the immediate cause. A large number of those whose cases appear hopeless are cured by the absence treatment. The symptoms of those afflicted are interesting and somewhat amusing, especially if the case be a severe one. The casual observer w; notice a lack of interest in school affairs and a growing interest in small apart- ments, the price of furniture, and pref- erence in preachers. Freshmen are gifted with foresight. They have a premonition of the sighs and sorrows relative to being a senior. Intuition tells them that leaving the old school, never again to return, is not at all pleasant. A wee bit of conceit crops out, too, and they feel a concern, as do all good seniors, as to how the college will survive their departure. MISSIONARY SPEAKS Pastor and Mrs. Sorenson in Native Dress at Seminar Meeting Pastor M. J. Sorenson, returned mis- sionary from Abyssinia, with his wife and small daughter, all in the Abyssinian costume, presented a program Thursday evening at the Nebraska State reforma- tory at the meeting held there weekly by the Gospel Workers' seminar. Pastor Sorenson in his talk explained that all Orientals are very polite, and read in English the long formal greeting which they use. He and his wife then greeted each other in characteristic native manner. "The king is very friendly toward the white workers," he said, "and does all he can to help advance their work in his country. He one time invited a number of the white workers to his palace for din- ner. There he did not have silverware on the table, but goldware! He served all kinds of delicacies, the whole of the formal luncheon taking three hours." Pastor Sorenson continued by telling of the medical missionary _work that is be- ing done in that country. He told how sometimes the natives get hurt but do not come to the doctor until it is almost too late. "Before I went to Abbyssinia, a doctor friend of mine gave me a pair of dental forceps, telling me that I might have use for them. I had never used them before, but I had to practice dentistry on a large number of the natives," he said. Pastor Sorenson's little, girl, Margaret Jane, was introduced as "a little Abyssin- ian." She contributed a song, "Baby Land," as her part of the program. Speci- al music was also given by Lyle Free- meyer, accompanied by Esther House. a Freshmen Have Their Day Enthusiasm, Courage, Ambition Characteristic of First Year Students; Freshman Genuis Finds Expression In This Issue of the 'Clock Tower' BY AILEEN CARTER Courage, enthusiasm, ambition, nerve, pep, readiness, stick-to it-iveness—if that is what is wanted, do not overlook any one of the one hundred and twenty Freshmen who are enrolled in Union college this year, for they are always ready. This notorious group unitedly give thanks to their college for permitting them to be Freshmen, for they expected this to be the happiest and most profitable year of college life; and with this ideal in view, they are daily making it so. Freshmen do not claim to be professional optimists, although this is one of their rules, but they are wonderfully well satisfied in three respects at least: This studious section of the school-body are very thankful that they are not sophmores, because if they were, they would only have two more years in which to linger within old Union's friendly walls. Juniors are too near the top of the ladder of knowledge, and therefore must have a large number of wrinkles in their gray-matter, which is found not too spar- ingly in their spacious cranial capacities. Not desiring to be intemperate in any way, the Feshmen pefer to attain this psychological condition slowly by degees. Though each Freshman in exceedingly proud of the seniors, the group as a whole does not 'envy the senior's position; for even though they feel greatly their intellectual superiority and abounding usefulness, which is abundantly prevalent among them, still they can appreciate only too well that Freshmen would be sadly out of place were they called upon to occupy the responsibilities and duties of their friends, the seniors. • In contemplating the reason for such characteristics as the Freshmen possess, characteristics which make for real life, the theory is expounded that no doubt the Freshmen are living in one of the most advantageous years of life. As a whole none of them are too young to appreciate the stern realities of life, and yet they are immature enough to possess a never-ending source of school spirit and vivac- iousness. Pehaps this is the reason that colleges as a rule cannot be found without at least few Freshmen. While Freshmen do not claim to be perfect, still they have the One who was perfect as their Ideal, and through Him they expect to put into Union the best of their lives while they are here, and in return they feel assured that liberal dividends are awarded them through Christian teachers with whom they come in contact and who are working most earnestly for the betterment of each student. These verdant youthful aspirants are not specifically organized into a class, but nevertheless they have a variety of talent displayed in their group. The finer arts are encouraged especially; and not only are musicians to be found in their midst, but there are "artists" in the lines of carpentry, repairing, firing, launder- ing, and cooking. Teachers, printers, bookkeepers, janitors, librarians, stknographers, and painters are also evident in the Freshman class. It is obvious that they are well represented throughout the school, in work as well as play. These students are happy to be Freshmen, but in spite of all this, they desire it to be known that they do not desire always to be Freshmen; in the future they will take their places as sophomores, juniors, and seniors; but first they must be assured that they shall be succeeded by are large group of Freshmen. Is not this the essence of real enthusiasm and ambition? For this reason, they are singing, and will continue to "sing old Union's glories" as never before. When next year presents itself this notable group will again heartily and courageously undertake the task of gaining knowledge. Among the pursuits which will be undertaken, they will attempt to assimilate approximately 10,000 volumes of reading material found in the school library, cautiously investigate the weaning of the various odors found in and without the chemistry laboratory, and attend approximately seven hundred and twenty classes during the year. Throughout all this training process, they will go steadily on, keeping their verdant attractive- ness incessantly. Freshmen are the life of the school. Watch them grow!

A village of nine hundred people, all totally or partially blind, who never ven- ture from their homes until after sun- down, has recently been made known to the world. This village is Tiltepec, in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. It has al- most no contact with the outside world. The malady which blinded the inhabitants is known in the medical world as oncho- cercosis. An insect has been found the cause of the blindness. The people live in crude huts. There is not a school, church, a store, or a public building in the village. There is no civil law. There are no form- al marriages, only mating and families. The Mexican government is working on the problem. The last twenty-five years have been a golden age of literature. In England Kip- ling, H.

Ledington and Group of Request Numbers PLAYS GYPSY AIRS Mrs. Ledington Assists and Interprets Modern Songs Including Number Sung in Norwegian Saturday evening, at eight o'clock, the Union College School of Music faculty presented a recital featuring Gwendolen Lampshire Hayden, violinist, who was as- sisted by Esther Lorntz Ledington, so- prano. The varied program was divided into five parts, the first one, a rendering of Handers "Sonata in F Major" by Mrs. Hayden, followed by - Zigeuner- weisen," by Sarasate, as the second part. The third item was given by Mrs. Leding- ton, who sang "The Wind's in the South," by Scott; "Cloths of Heaven," by Dunhill; and "Now Sleeps the Crim- son Petal," by Quilter; these being fol- lowed by her fellow-countryman Grieg's composition, "Blaabxrli," which she sang in the vernacular. In part four Mrs. Hay- den played a group of four descriptive numbers as follows: "Hills," and "Fairies Dancing," by Cecil Burleigh; "From the Canebrake," by Gardner; and "Fishing Boats Off the Cornish Coast," by Professor Stanley G. Ledington. This piece portrays a group of fish- ing boats which are gently rocked by the waves near the shore. Then a motor bOat cuts across the scene, and the tempo is accelerated as the water is disturbed. Not long after quiet is restored, a squall comes up, but this soon passes and the waves gently rock the boats as before. This num- ber Professor Ledington has dedicated to Mrs. Hayden. Brahms' "Waltz in A Ma- jor," "The Maiden's Wish," by Chopin, and the "Spanish Dance," by Rehfeld, completed the program. The accompanists were Stanley Ledington and Sterling K. Gernet. NORTH HALL GETS NEW LIGHTS Mrs. C. H. Evans, Marsland, Nebraska, who has been a guest at North hall for several weeks visiting her daughter, Theone, left check when she went home which permitted the purchase of new wrought brass chandeliers for the North hall parlor. These lights, which match the new first floor hall lights, have already been installed to the delight of the girls who are now making frequent side trips to the parlors just to enjoy looking at them. C. A. WEAKS SPEAKS TO STUDENT GROUP Representatives at Colporteur Institute Introduced at Chapel Wednesday "Field secretaries are usually known as live wires. We have some of these live wires with us, and the plan is to introduce each one," said Mr. G. A. Campbell in chapel Wednesday morning, in introducing to the students the field missionary secretaries from his union: Mr. Knecht, of Iowa; Mr. Odegaard, of Min- nesota; and Mr. McKinley, of South Da- kota. North Dakota has no representative here. Mr. E. H. Meyers introduced the Central Union bookmen: Mr. Shakes- peare, of Colorado; Mr. Gahagan, of Wyoming; Mr. Welsh, now on his way to the Inter-Mountain Conference; Mr. Davis, Kansas; and Mr. Vixie, Nebraska. Missouri was not represented, not hav- ing a field secretary as yet. Mr. B. E. Wagner, secretary of the Southwest- ern Union, was also present, although none of his local secretaries were here. Pastor C. E. Weaks, associate secre- tary of the General Conference, was the speaker of the morning. "I want this morning," began Elder Weaks, "to call your attention to three very terse verses in the 119th Psalm, be- ginning with the 30th verse: 'I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me. I have stuck unto thy testimonies: 0 Lord, put me not to shame. T will run the way of thy com- mandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.' " Enlarging on the text, the speaker con- tinued, "There are three special words in those three verses that I want to notice this morning—chosen, stuck, run. We have reached the time of decisions. We are very happy to know that so many have come to our institute and glad to see that the interest has been growing.

BREAKING THE MONOPOLY Congress and the Freshmen have been working hard the last few months against monopolies—Congress against Wall street, which is trying by fair means or foul to gain control of this world's goods by swapping stocks and bonds; and the Freshmen against the upper-class- men, who would if possible monopolize the current supply of swapp- ing stock in knowledge. The fiery Freshmen, realizing the others have the advantage in the head start, are redoubling their efforts to get their share of this in- tangible asset. Assured success is bound to attend their strenuous ef- forts by the use of their present tactics. Old methods of attack as used by former members have been discarded for the latest and most up-to-the-minute-procedure. Long hours of careful work and reason- ing have taken the place of the so-common filibustering. Latest reports from the speakers of the registrar's office show that by the time the motion is made for spring adjournment the Freshmen will be in control of a goodly amount of fact and theory, with. all retarding forces broken, their success being due to their un- ceasing vigil. NOBLE CHASE—Freshman Editor. THE FRESHMAN PROTOTYPE In order to be true to type, a Freshman is almost universally conceded to be innocent and illusioned, gullible and visionary, utterly guiltless of ideas—in short, a perfectly delightful but thoroughly im- practical being. The Freshman prototype has large ambitions which he expects td realize before the senior has gotten well started. His credulity is incredible; his curiosity is untamed; his optimism is in- evitable and disarming. Just exactly how much of this has any relation to fact and how much of it is fiction, pure and unadulterated, no one has yet con- clusively determined; but Freshmen, like most other natural phenom- ena, are best studied by close-up observation. Just how much of their characteristics and reactions to various natural and artificial stimuli they will reveal it is difficult to forecast. At any rate, they are this week shown in their native habitat, and even the casual observer should be able to draw a few generalizations. The food of the species is variable, but most authorities concur in the opinion that the most common source of their sustenance is Freshman rhetoric. They may be seen in colonies of twenty or more feeding upon it. About next in their bill of fare is Freshman history. A process which never fails to interest the scientific observer is the complete metamorphosis of the species. Contrary to most rules, there are not three stages but four. Years ago people refused to be- lieve that the gorgeous butterfly had once been the plebeian we know him to have been. Nowadays people find it easier to believe the unbelievable, and perhaps they will not gasp at being told that the dignified, sophisticated seniors, walking around apparently absent- minded but really lost in thought, were in a former incarnation Fresh- men. The most fortunate thing for the seniors is that they have not lost all their Freshman illusions, that they are still visionary enough to keep on dreaming, that they are still following the gleam that was their first incentive, the light that leads to the life of service. H. B. Sunshine Bands Ask For Papers for Distribution Four of the five Sunshine bands were busy Sabbath afternoon. Gladys Huffman took her band down to the Orthopedic hospital and met with the children in their large assembly room. They were greatly interested in Luella Coleman's story and in her illustrations of the many interesting ways to cut and fold paper. Another story was told by Blanche Griffith. Special music was furnished by Gladys Munn, who sang ,several appropriate children's songs. Mrs. H. U. Stevens took Aileen Car- ter's band to the State orphanage, where Sylvia Meier and Charles Teel told stories. Wallace Nethery and Mr. Teel sang "In That Beautiful Land," as a duet. Sigrid Olson was also present, assisting Miss Carter. At the Lancaster County farm Theo- dore Howard gave a short talk and Dale Strawn and Harold Payne sang "We Shall See Him Face to Face." La Merne Walker furnished special violin music. Mr. Hickman went with the group. The, program at the Tabitha home con- sisted of two duets by Fannie and Fran- cis Jones and a group of selections by a string trio composed of two guitars played by Donald Hanson and Samuel Fritz and a violin played by Harold Cedol. James Gaitens gave a short talk on the subject of the new earth, A reading en- titled "Consecration" was .,iven by Mild- red Rhoads, and Mary Hannah Thomp- son assisted with the music. Little Friends, Youth's lntsructors, Signs of the Times, Libertys, and Lite and Health are needed for the work of the Sunshine bands, and those in charge ask that readers feel free to send any of the above which are clean and in good condition to the Sunshine bands, Union college. McVagh Speaks in the Church Concerning Faith Pastor McVagh, president of the Iowa conference, speaking at the eleven o'clock hour Sabbath in the College View church, compared the three times in the Bible when the sentence, "The just shall live by faith," is repeated, the references being Romans 1:16,17; Habbakuk 2:4; and He- brews 10:35-39. The speaker described conditions among God's people at the different times these men wrote. Hab- bakuk, he said, was utterly discouraged. The prophecies said that the Chaldeans were soon to sweep down on Israel, and among the Israelites themselves violence and iniquity were multiplying. The speak- er said Habbakuk's cry to God was in effect, "I pray and pray, but in spite of it all, everything is going to smash and you don't do anything about it." When the Lord answered Habbakuk's cry of discouragement, Pastor McVagh ex- plained, He said the just should live by faith, that in spite of the seeming bad state of affairs, God's final purpose would be worked out. "In Paul's time," the speaker declared, "there was a materialistic world and church which scoffed at the simplicity of the gospel. Conditions were just as dis- couraging as in the days of the Old Testament prophets, but Paul could find comfort and encouragement in knowin' that God has just one business and it prospers through everything He permits, even though it cuts across our plans and expectations." Applying his remarks to the present time, when men's hearts are "failing them for fear," Pastor McVagh advised that all should remember that "faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God," and that all should study the prophecies to see that behind all scenes of the world's history God has been carrying out His eternal purposes.

Union couldn't possibly do without Freshmen. Let us think of the ncme Freshmen just a little. "Fresh-men"—the name is a complete giveaway. Union could never do without the fresh and new recruits each year. The seniors, who have been fighting for four years to hold high the standards of our school are nearly ready to lay aside the tasks, but are there none to take up the responsibility they are relinquishing? Must there be a pause? Never! The Freshmen step in and fill the place the seniors have vacated, and al- though it usually takes more of us we swing into the task, willing to learn; just give us three years and we are always successful. I once overheard a little of a heated conversation between one of our number and a junior. "Oh," said the junior, "you, a little insignificant Freshman, do you think you or any of your type amount to anything here? Union would be much bet- ter off if it had never seen any of you." Certainly, he must have been one of the less enlightened of our upper classmen. Consider for instance the activities of the school in which the Freshmen engage. You see them at seminar, French, com- mercial, history, and Spanish clubs, and all the other organizations of Union. See them in the Sunshine bands, the foreign mission bands, the musical organizations. Take a glance at the various industries; you will find them busily engaged at work in the power house, laundry, car- penter shop, or print shop; and some of our members help to prepare the meals! During times of school campaigns :la you find the Freshmen lagging behind? Not usually. However, in discussing this we come to another of most valuable con- tributions, that of giving our school friends competition. If we, as Freshmen, were to win in all the school campaigns, I'm sure the others would become dis- couraged and perhaps lose interest en- tirely; so for the general welfare of Un- ion we have decided to give lots of com- petition but not to win too often. After all is said and done, Freshmen are a necessity. If they were left out it be a very short time until Union with its high standards, its sophomores, its juniors, and its seniors, would be studied only in the history books of our denom- ination. 0 Where Do All of Them Come From? By ELLEN SWAYZE Who? Why the Freshmen of course. I am sure no other class can boast of stu- dents from so many different places and environments. Some have come thousands of miles and probably appreciate their privileges here more than those who live near. Of the different states in the union, Nebraska, the home state of the col:ege, sends more than any other; Iowa and Kansas run a close second, however; and Colorado and the Dakotas are not far behind. Minnesota, Maryland, New Mex- ico, Wyoming, and New York have each sent us a favorable sample. What an op- portunity lies within our grasp to learn, by exchange of experiences through friendly intercourse, of the various states and really become acquainted with Amer- ican citizens as found in the East, Mid- dle West, and "wild" West. Not only the North American continent sends its sons and daughters to Union's doors to be trained for God's service, but also three others. One member of the Freshman class, Doris Kirstein, has spent a number of years in South America. Another, William Barclay—have you heard him talk?—is from Glascow, Scot- land. As he says, it is hard to imitate a Scotchman, so I shall not attempt it, but he is the genuine article and the Freshmen are glad to count him a mem- ber. Still one more distant land contributes and the list is complete. Philip Bulgin comes farthest of all. South Africa is the place he calls hame. Imagine the different environments from which these many young men and wo- men must have come. Some from mission fields, from the crowded city, from the small town, from the farm, and from the lonely cattle ranch of thousands of acres. Many have lived in Adventist communi- ties and enjoyed the association of young people of their own faith, but others have lived in isolated situations where their very souls called out for companionship and found none. Some have been shelt- ered by the kindly protection of a godly faculty in an academy during early ado-. lescence. Others have fought their way bravely through the temptations surround- ing them in schools providing a different environment. A few have experienced both. Probably the sources of Freshmen are not as wide spread as their dispersion will be. From such a class, each member with a special capability all his own, God should be able to find workers to send to the ends of the earth. SENIOR GIRLS APPEAR Class Members Portray Miniature of A Class Night Program The seniors of North hall appeared in the young women's club meeting last Wednesday evening in a miniature class night exercise. While Leola Castle played Schubert's - March Militaire," the group marched into the worship room. The pres- ident's address was given by Irma Watt. Pearl Hartwell read the interesting class history, Jeannette Franks the amusing class prophecy, and Arta Parmelee an outlandish class will. "I Love a Little Cottage" was sung by Ethel Eitel, Mildred Rhoads, Katherine Lutz, and Arta Parmelee. Leola Castle played a piano solo. Dorothy Vogel de- livered a stirring class oration, and Elizabeth Lothian gave the class farewell. Norma Hilde and Dorothy Foreman were in charge of the program. Bible Studies Are Given By Members of Seminar Bible studies are being continued in Lincoln by members of the Gospel Work- ers' seminar. Three studies were given Sabbath afternoon. Bessie McCumsey gave a Bible study on "Christ, the Cent- ral Theme of the Bible." She was ac- companied by Miss Lankford. The ladies to whom these studies are being given are interesting their neighbors in attend- ing the meetings. One of the ladies did not have a Bible, the other had only a New Testament, and they both appreciat- ed the used Bibles which were given them through the kindness of two College View church members. William Barclay, Mrs. Rosendahl, and Ramona Ellis visited a colored home, where Mr. Barclay gave a study cn the Sabbath. Sophia Van Buskirk con- ducted a Bible study in a colored home.

What is it that gets such a hold on students who may attend Union for only a year that they very seldom have a desire to go to any other college? These questions presented themselves to me during my senior year in high school and the following summer. Everyone who ever attended Union seemed to think that it was about the only place on the map. I finally decided to come to Union; and as I have spent nearly a year here now, I think I have found, to some ex- tent, the answer to these questions. Union is not simply a college build- ing or a place where one learns only the rules of punctuation in Freshman rhetoric or the laws of learning in psychology; but it is a real place to live. There is life and action from the dining room to the president's office. Everyday one comes in contact with new ideas, new ex- periences, and new problems. In the school homes one learns to live with other people and how to adapt him- self to different environments. Here one is not only educated mentally, but also physically and spiritually. At Union college there are Christion teachers who are really interested in the students, and are trying to help prepare young people to meet life's problems. They are not teaching simply for a salary. The student group of Union is of great value to one. There are the kind seniors who are always so willing to help one; the juniors, with all their dignity, are really very friendly; the sophmores are a great help to new students in learning ways of college life; and, last but not least, is the value of one Freshman to another. We learn by each other's mis- takes. It is a great help to have someone to whom one may go who has the same feelings and problems as he does. Of course Union is valuable to a Fresh- man; the Freshman class of 1931 can testify to that. TUCKER-SHEAN REGISTERED OPTOMETRISTS "Where you can ask the price. - 1123 "0" St. WIN!

I viewed the main building and North and South halls, And all the rest of them too; I was rather frightened 'way down in my heart, At the thoughts of what I would go through. I' knew there'd be teachers (of whom I'm not fond) With spectacles piercing me through. There'd be study from books without any doubt; But what else was there to do? I came for a purpose and with that in mind, Problems couldn't stop me, of course; Surely there were many that I put behind, But all those could have been easily worse. Here I found rules, and I found regula- tions That the best of the students must face. But I hadn't forgotten that all of earth's nations Give "Order and Law"- first place. I've found no school better than this Christian school. One makes friends that stay throughout life, Friends who'll stay near in peace or in joy, And who will draw closer in strife.

We go through the halls and the class- rooms each day, Holding standards high, it is true. "Give the best that you have," the o!cl sages say, "And the best will come back to you."

Second Floor Kollege Room THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE THREE Freshmen Have an Important Part In School Activities BY RALPH CASH Before entering the first year at college a student looks forward to the experience with many and varied thoughts, but the student who makes up his mind to accom- plish a definite aim in his college life and study is the one who gets the most out of his college days. To other students with no aim but merely to "go to college" the experience often turns out to be "college daze." The first year students at Union this year are here for a definite purpose. 1 hat purpose is to receive a Christian training that will enable them to go out in the world and hold up the banner for Christ. Many opportunities come to the Fresh- man to promote and follow up lines of religious and missionary activities. Most of the Freshmen to whom these oppor- tunities come take advantage of them as stepping stones to higher service. This year's class of Freshmen have taken hold wonderfully in these little opportun- ities for service and have participated in the activities of the college to such a de- gree that several have been asked wheth- er they were Freshmen or upper clansmen. There are few activities along religious and social avenues at Union where a person does not find some Freshman in the front line with his older and more experienced classmates. Whether in Missionary Volunteer work or Gospel Worker's seminar activities, in giving Bible readings or even preaching in the neighboring churches, in CLOCK TOWER campaigns or on reception committees, you will find the Freshmen doing their part to carry out the plans that run par- allel with their aim to be of service both in their college days and in those days when life's problems.take on bigger pro- portions. And it is no wonder that such condi- tions exist, because the number of Fres- men is correspondingly larger than any other class of students in college. The Freshmen have come to college with the hearth-bred determination to "stand for right though the heavens fall". They are not so engrossed with a desire for an extended theoretical knowledge that aggressive, spiritual ambitions have be- come second to their desire for a sheep- skin. Freshmen are an integral part of our school life. Their class is the only one that all must attend if they would spend even one year in college. It is during this Freshman experience that some of the greatest decisions of life are made, some of the hardest battles fought and won, and some of the greatest things accomplished. The Freshmen at Union college realize this and are making de- cisions for right, fighting and winning hard battles over sin and self, and ac- complishing things which are a credit to Union College. Colporteurs Have Charge Of Seminar Program The colporteur band under the charge of the leader, Emil Fick, conducted the Gospel Workers' seminar meeting Friday evening. Two union conference field sec- retaries, George Campbell, of the North- ern union, and E. H. Meyers, of the Central union, were the speakers. "Surely the consecrated colporteur who is living close to God is a Good Samari- tan," declared Pastor Campbell. - There is a time for that kind of ministry today. Some who manifest no interest in religion are longing for something the colporteur can bring to them." Pastor Campbell told several actual A Modest Prophecy By PAUL HAUGHEY What will we be doing in 1934? Let's just skip three years and see. "Today is yesterday's pupil and to- morrow's teacher." Yes, how true that has been in the past three years. The steady progress of this group has been marked by the success of the individual members. Samuel Fritz has made three scholarships to Union and is now the field secretary for the Colorado conference. Theodore Wedde is taking his second year at Loma Linda. Do you folks remember the sum- mer he earned two scholarships? Say. he surely surprised us. And there's Bob Whitsett, who is the manager of the press at Oak Park academy. Kenneth Purdom is teaching woodwork here at Union. Royal Hay and Leslie Rieckel are in China. Brazil claims Arthena Peterson and Alice Nelson. Appointments of Irene Ortner to go to India, Judson Miner to British East Africa, and Mildred Atwater to Egypt are now complete. Several are planning to teach either in high schools are academies this fall and have or are trying to obtain appointments. Even though we are getting our degrees, some of us colporteurs are also trying for another B. A.—"Book Agents." Max- ine Young and Lucile Fleming are work- ing as stenographers in the Colorado Book and Bible house. Plainview academy called Helen Swayze to be rreceptress and English teacher this next year. Teaching appears to be one of the lines of work followed by many, yet none of the FreShmen of 1931 have had any trouble getting a place to work—that is, those who want places. Charles Teel is starting in the hardware business in Omaha, Nebraska, and Al- bert Seltman is following the line of suc- cessful farming as are some of the others. Theodore Gray started in his first tent effort last week. Only time and space limit this large group of successful Fresh- men. The majority are either well on their way to or have succeeded in obtaining success. 0 - -The greatest of faults is to be con- scious of none."

MEYERS Union college is just closing a splen- did colporteur institute, the best we have had for many years, they tell us. On be- half of those who represent our publish- ing work in the territory of Union, I wish to express our great satisfaction for the interest shown in our literature min- istry in the college. Our leaders wish to express also their appreciation to faculty and students for the splendid co-operation in making the institute a success. For three consecutive years the Union college colporteur group has enjoyed a healthy growth. This year between eighty and a hundred attended the institute and perhaps sixty of these will be going out into the field this summer. Think what this means to the gospel giving program. There is perhaps no greater field of use- fulness open to students for summer work. Patronize Clock Tower Advertisers Why are you reading this? Because "pictures talk."

"One canvasser was asked to pray for members of one family, es- pecially a son who was in prison," said Pastor Campbell. "Another colporteur was able to influence a lady to make a new start for the kingdom." Many books are not studied for years aft-7 they are received,' stared the speax- er. He told the story of how Pastor C. H. Watson, General Conference president, accepted the truth through the book, "Bi- ble Readings," which he had ordered only to avoid reproof from his employer for talking with the colporteur. "Do not allow anything to keep you from the colporteur work," urged Pastor Meyers, in his talk on ''The Colporteur a Soul-Winner." Pastor Meyers declared that a surprisingly large number of the leaders of this denomination in the United States were brought into the truth through literature. He gave examples of the way the mes- sage has spread in South America through the work of the colporteur. Where the persecution has been great, the greatest work his been done, he declared. "Colporteur work is a sure way winning souls," stated Pastor Meyers. "God has set His hand to carry on His work, and we may partake of the bless- ings which He has for those who serve." Walter Howe, who has been conduct- ing meetings in the state reformatory, called for a young man to volunteer to give Bible readings every week to a man there who wishes to know more of our doctrines. Mr. Howe stated that he could find openings for two or three young men in that line of work. The missionary song, "Winning Prec- ious Souls to Thee," was sung by Arta Parmalee, La Merne Walker, Rufus Baker, and Russell Holmes.

It of- ten comes to the surface when they get out in colporteur work if they haven't developed sticking ability. I suppose the failure of young people to put in time caused more people to lose scholarships than any other one thing. When you get in the ini- t o .ut tiv . field,you are on your . own ., e.

Pastor Weaks brought out several of the advantages in saleswork. First he spoke of a check-up from hundreds in universities and colleges to whom the proposition was presented about going out in sales work and other lines. They that of those who went in other lines, sixty-three per cent were able to get back to school, and of those who went out selling from door to door, seventy- nine per cent. He told of the opportunity to keep in physical trim. "Three months spent in hiking along country roads, al- ternating each mile or half-mile with live canvasses, is ideal exercise," he said. "This work develops your sense of hu- mor," said the speaker. "One of our col- porteurs from our French school was out a short time ago. In some of those Catho- lic countries they are pretty hard on our boys. He came up to a rough man who had a big angry dog tied there, who threatened the colporteur. As soon as the colporteur introduced his work, the man became very angry, and said, 'You get out of here just as quickly as you can. You see that dog? H e is mas ter around here.' The colporteur said, 'Thank you very much. • You say that is the master of the house?"Yes, sir.' will excuse me. I misjudged.' The colporteur walked over to the dog and started canvassing him. Then the man said, 'I guess you are all right,' listened to his canvass, and bought a book. "If it weren't for the efforts of the canvasser, many would never hear the warning.
