By Dr. E. M. Haase 
International affairs this last 
fortnight have been in the trough 
of the sea. Following the extra-
ordinarily successful business of 
the first sessions of the United 
Nations in London, in the early 
part of the year, this temporary 
collapse of international morale 
has delivered a tremendous blow 
to the optimist. Such oscillations 
from one extreme to the other 
by the pendulum of international 
relations can be expected. At 
present, attention seems to be 
focused on apparent acts of 
faithlessness on the part of the 
government of the Soviets. The 
international atmosphere i s 
crackling with the static of ac-
cusations: In the Far East, 
Soviet planes fired upon Ameri-
can planes while on patrol; Rus-
sian forces refuse to withdraw 
from troubled areas in the pro-
vince of Azerbaijan and the 
Soviet government makes new 
demands in Iran including a 
demand for certain oil conces-
sions; Canadian officials accuse 
Russian agents of perpetrating 
unethical acts of espionage on 
Canadian soil in a search for 
secrets about the atomic bomb 
and facts about the armed forces 
of the United States; alleged re-
velations by newsmen that Soviet 
troops, withdrawing from Man-
churia, have stripped the coun-
try of all machinery; and the 
"Winchellian" rumor has it that 
Russia will soon march into Tur-
key to sieze disputed territories. 
No doubt there are grounds 
for these sensational indictments 
of Russian conduct, but wars are 
made by heated words and 
actions, and sober citizens should 
not permit their good judgment 
to be clouded by suspicions aris-
ing from rumors and reports; 
however, neither should the 
determination to be fair and un-
biased cause one to bury his 
head in the sand. All reports and 
rumors should be investigated 
thoroughly, a n d satisfaction 
should be gotten. When con-
fidences have been violated ex-
planations should be sought; it 
is only by dragging these charges 
and countercharges into the 
open that secret diplomacy can 
be abolished and democratic 
diplomacy elevated. 
There will be plenty of busi-
ness to attend to when the 
United Nations Organization As-
sembly meets again in the end 
of March. As the old weather 
adage suggests, let us hope that 
in international affairs if March 
comes in like a lion it will go 
out like a lamb.

UNION GRANTED 
HOUSING UNITS 
Ten Trailers Ease 
Housing Shortage 
To alleviate the crowded con-
ditions of those who are hav-
ing to live in one-room apart-
ments, Union College is expect-
ing ten army trailer houses to 
be shipped within a very short 
time. They are being granted 
by The Federal Public Housing 
Authority. 
These trailer houses are only 
a temporary measure to offset 
the acute housing shortage 
created by the influx of a great 
number of married students and 
will be discontinued when con-
ditions permit. 
The trailers will be rented 
to the veterans of World War II 
who enroll for the coming sum-
mer session. They consist of 
three rooms, and Mrs. Dunn, 
head of the Home Economics 
department, feels that they will 
prove extremely satisfactory. 
As it is being planned that the 
vacant lots directly across the 
street from the campus will 
house these trailers, they will be 
in a most convenient location 
to house students. 
The college management is 
extremely happy to receive 
these houses and hopes that the 
housing shortage will thus be 
at least partially overcome. 
Spanish Service 
Interests Students 
The Spanish Sabbath school, 
under the guidance of Miss Pearl 
L. Hall, meets once a month in 
room 204 of the administration 
building. 
The members are students of 
both Spanish classes, those who 
have been in Spanish speaking 
countries, and others who are 
interested. 
It is the purpose of this Sab-
bath school to teach conversa-
tional Spanish and to aid those 
who may be going to Spanish 
speaking countries.- 
One member from each of the 
Spanish classes and Spanish Sab-
bath school class, with the aid 
of Miss Hall, plans the program. 
The officers are changed for 
each meeting. 
Haziel Clifford was the lead-
er of the last Sabbath school 
meeting. A fifteen minute song 
service, with Florence Bern-
hardt as chorister, and Muriel 
Froemming as pianist, preceded 
the program. The second year 
Spanish class opened the meet-
ing with the Lord's Prayer. The 
scripture reading was given by 
Grace Simpson, and the secre-
tary's report was read by Mor-
ten Juberg. Shirley Morris and 
Esther Stout sang a duet. Fran-
cisco Zerega gave the mission 
report, which was followed by 
a clarinet duet. The review, by 
Arthur Finch, who has spent two 
years in Panama was given in 
the form of a true-false quiz. 
Miss Hall taught the lesson and 
Marjorie Roy closed the meet-
ing with prayer.

Two Cars Travel To 
Enterprise, Kansas 
In response to an invitation 
from Enterprise Academy, Pro-
fessor Tarr and a group of stu-
dents from the speech depart-
ment visited there March 1-3. 
Professor Tarr spoke at the 
vesper service Friday night, 
"The Wonderful Father" was 
presented in music and reading 
for young people's meeting, and 
a Saturady night entertainment 
consisted of readings and vocal 
and instrumental music was ren-
dered by the visiting group from 
the college. 
Those who went were Hilda 
Fern Remley, Laurie MacPher-
son, Virgene Buck, Josephine 
Griffin, Joe Barnes, Orvin Fill-
man, Wilford Burgess, Edwin 
Beck, Professor Tarr, and Mr. 
and Mrs. Herbert Hill. 
An excellent report was 
brought back of the hospital-
ity enjoyed and the pleasant 
though brief acquaintanceships 
made with Enterprise students 
and teachers. 
It is hoped that many of the 
twenty-eight seniors at Enter-
prise will be among the Union 
College freshmen next fall. 
PROF. W. H. BEAVEN 
Beaven Addresses 
Vesper Assembly 
Union College welcomed Prof. 
W. H. Beaven, speech instruc-
tor in absentia, who is now work-
ing toward his Ph.D. degree at 
Michigan University, as guest 
speaker Friday evening, March 1. 
The fundamental factors es-
sential to the perfect balance of 
every Christian youth were re-
viewed and stressed by Mr. 
Beaven. 
"Know what you believe, 
young people," cautioned the 
speaker. Several recent instances 
were related, concerning the 
value of Bible foundations to 
prove definitely the doctrines 
Seventh-day Adventists uphold. 
"We cannot hope to convince the 
world of the truth until we are 
certain, by personal search, that 
it is truth," he reminded the aud-
ience. "Faith," he emphasized, 
"should not be substituted for 
knowledge, except where know-
edge is positively unavailable." 
Every hearer was admonished 
to set his standard by the Bible, 
and not according to the dic-
tates of mankind. "Let no one 
cause your confidence to waver 
by confusing and misquoting 
Bible texts." All were enjoined 
to know truth so well that error 
would be instantly detected. 
Mr. Beaven concluded his re-
marks by showing the great 
place faith occupies in this bal-
ance, after sufficient knowledge 
of the precept upon which that 
faith is founded has been gained. 
ELDER J. W. ROWLAND 
Philippine College Calls 
Theology Head 
After a sojourn of 13 years 
in the States, Elder J. W. Row-
land, head of the Union College 
theological department, again 
hears the beckoning call of the 
mission field. Elder and Mrs. 
Rowland will sail for the Philip-
pine Islands July, 1946. 
Elder Rowland is now under 
appointment by the General Con-
ference to head the department 
of theology in the Philippine 
Union College in Manila. His 
resignation from the Union Col-
lege faculty will become ef-
fecive June 1. 
Eighteen years of the lives of 
the Rowlands have been given 
to foreign mission service. They 
lived for 13 years in Singapore, 
and the remainder of their time 
was spent in the British North 
Borneo Mission. At the time of 
their return to the United States 
in 1933, Elder Rowland was 
president of that Union field. 
Elder Rowland has been teach-
ing at Union for the past eight 
years, having come to this school 
from the Canadian Junior Col-
lege. During his time here he 
has served on the Academic 
Standards Committee, the Per-
sonnel, and the Religious Life 
Committees. He has contribu-
ted to the school curriculum by 
the preparation of syllabuses to 
be used as text books. 
Elder Rowland received his 
Master of Arts degree from the 
Theological Seminary, Washing-
ton, D.C., September 5, 1945. 
The thesis for his degree was 
written on the head-hunters of 
Borneo, an indication that his 
interest is still in the mission 
field. 
As I See It. . . . 
Ever since Murgratroyd Crease 
invented creases in 1684, men 
have been faced with the per-
plexing problem of keeping their 
trousers pressed. There are many 
schools of thought along this 
line. Some advocate wearing un-
creased trousers; some favor 
shorts; others suggest wearing 
robes like the Arabs. In order 
to help those who may have 
occasion to press their pants, I 
have given diligent study as to 
the least painful method to per-
form this essential process. While 
this advice is primarily for men, 
the theory of pressing presented 
here can be used successfully 
by women. 
Two requisites for this job 
are ( a) trousers, and ( b) an 
iron. Some insist upon such re-
finements as ironing board and 
pressing cloth and this does 
simplify matters considerably. 
The first thing to do is to in-
spect the trousers to see if the 
old crease is visible. It is ele- 
mentary that the crease is in-
visible or it wouldn't be neces-
sary to press the trousers. Pro-
ceeding on this assumption, it 
is necessary to measure PI inches 
to the left of the watch pocket. 
At this point draw a chalk line 
perpendicular from the belt line 
to the cuff. 
The next step is to form a 
temporary crease by folding the 
trousers. Next lay the pressing 
cloth on this crease and after 
dampening with water, iron 
firmly. Continue this process 
until the cuff is reached. It can 
be seen at this point that there 
are numerous small creases scat-
tered all over the trousers. How-
eve-:, do not be unduly alarmed 
at this. These can be easily re-
moved by diligent use of the 
pressing cloth and iron. Accord-
ing to the law of diminishing 
creases, the first crease will now 
consist of four zig zag creases. 
Fortunately, these creases can 
be removed by using a cloth, 
FUTURE EVENTS 
I. R. C. Delegates 
Attend Emporia, Kansas 
Convention 
Promptly at four in the morn-
ing of March one, in a drizzling 
rain, eleven officers and mem-
bers of the International Rela-
tions Club and the faculty spon-
sor, E. M. Hause, tucked them-
selves into two cars and turned 
southward to Kansas. 
The Union College group 
arriving at Emporia joined more 
than two hunderd other college 
students representing fifty col-
leges of the Mississippi Valley. 
The Conference presented the 
opportunity to join any one of 
three discussion groups that be-
gan at ten o'clock. The dele-
gates from Union were most 
interested in the round-table on 
occupation plans for Germany. 
At noon we adjourned to the 
banquet hall of the student 
union building of the Kansas 
Teachers College at Emporia 
where a pleasant hour was spent 
in dining and chatting with new 
acquaintances from neighbor 
colleges. 
The afternoon session began 
at two in the classroom and 
chapel of the College of Empor-
ia. Three groups studied such 
problems as international eco-
nomic conditions, the control of 
atomic fission and occupation 
plans for Japan. A number of 
short speeches were made by 
our group. Very commendable 
was the spirit of earnestness in 
which these internationally 
minded students approached 
their problems. 
Before leaving for home we 
visited the offices of the Empor-
ia Gazette, stood in the midst of 
the intimate little mementos 
and curios of the world famous 
editor, the late William Allen 
White, sat in his chair and look-
ed into his old fashioned roll-
top desk, all contained in a small, 
plain, uncarpeted office. 
DEVOTIONAL WEEK IN PROGRESS 
Elder Lee Conducts Services 
Elder Frederick Lee, associate editor of the Review and 
Herald, is conducting the Spring Week of Prayer at Union, 
March 8-16. Elder Lee comes with many years of experience 
as an evangelist both in this 
couHnatry
vingandattien foreign fields 
n dedAtiantic. 
Union College, Elder Lee re-
ceived further training for the 
mission field in the Theological 
School at Washington, D.C. 
Ye rs spent in China provide an 
excellent background for Elder 
Lee's inspirational talks to youth. 
A quotation from Testimonies, 
Volume II, page 264, serves as 
as an introduction for this series 
of character building studies be-
ing presented in the prayer 
bands during the week, "There 
is to be in the church no neglect 
of proper discipline. The mem-
bers are to regard themselves as 
pupils in a school, learning how 
to form characters worthy of 
their high calling." The impor-
tance of trials in the life of every 
Christian will be emphasized in 
further studies, and the methods 
of obtaining perfection of char-
acter will be explained in more 
detail. 
Each man is his own architect; 
each has an amount of material 
at hand to build a citadel for 
the soul, which, if rightly con-
structed. will withstand eternity. 
Persistent effort is required, will 
power must be exercised, and 
the prayer habit established be-
fore the victory is won. These 
and other devotional topics will 
be stressed in the prayer bands 
which are meeting in various

"A Tale of Years at Union

presented by the Nebraska 
Chapter of the Alumni Associa-
tion in its meeting Sunday night, 
March 24, in Room 301 of the 
college administration building. 
All students who have attend-
ed Union College for at least one 
year or who have graduated 
from this school are eligible to 
attend this gathering. Others 
who are invited to be present 
are the faculty members, college 
board members, and graduates

elLow grease, and water; and the 
first operation is again repeated 
with one alteration. It can be 
readily realized the location of 
the crease varies directly with 
the waist line of the wearer. So, 
measure two inches to the left 
of the watch pocket this time. 
Pressing the other trouser leg 
is more complicated because 
there is no watch pocket but 
after practice one can visualize 
watch pockets almost any place. 
When the job is finished it 
will be noted that there are three 
creases on each trouser leg. The 
original has mysteriously ap-
peared and the other two zig 
zag creases are visible—which 
reminds me I should have told 
you to use an old pair of pants 
to practice on. After many years 
of practice, one can get two of 
the creases to coincide and 
sometimes accidentally all three. 
However, do not give up hope.

Editorial 
Life at Union is based upon the theory that college students 
are men and women. The administrative officers of the college, 
persons sympathetic with the problems and aspirations of those 
in their charge, have consistently followed a policy more liberal 
than that in force at any of our sister institutions. Realizing, for 
instance, that undue restriction upon the association of young 
men and women leads inevitably to misconduct in a variety of 
forms, the administration permits certain wholesome and proper 
escorting, and those restriction on association which are enforced 
are simply what should exist in any well-ordered society. 
What is true of this is true also of other phases of student 
life: much latitude is permitted the student in attendance at 
classes and divine services; in the matter of trips to Lincoln, 
students are largely upon their honor to maintain the high 
standards of the college; no policemen are on guard in the library 
to see that young men refrain from sitting near or next to their 
fair friends; no supervisors are on hand to prevent couples from 
either sitting together in the dining room or skating together in 
the gymnasium; South Hall men are permitted to have radios.. . 
In all these matters and others which might be mentioned, 
a degree of latitude is present here which exists in no other 
Seventh-day Adventist college. For this fact, our administrative 
officers are to be commended. 
And yet, despite the liberties enjoyed here, there is, most 
regrettably, a small and, as yet, impotent movement extant whose 
sole object seems to be destruction of confidence in the faculty 
and elimination of the high standards by which the school is 
governed. We refer to the "underground" so-called newspaper—
that slapstick, moronic travesty of journalism—the "Torch. 
We regret to have to confess that we have read two issues of 
that subversive sheet. That its burden is prejudiced criticism is an 
evidence of the fact that the minority element promoting it has 
no constructive plan and is bent upon undermining the authority 
of those to whom the welfare of the College is entrusted. 
We confess, too, however, that the very publication of such 
a document, insignificant as it is, is an indication that students at 
present have no means of making themselves heard. (Even the 
mildly democratic student faculty council, elected by the admin-
istration last year, has ceased to function.) And we suggest that 
some attention be given by the faculty to the setting up of some 
medium through which students may have access to the admin-
istration and through which they may have more voice in stu-
dent affairs. 
But whether or not the administration deems it expedient to 
establish such a body, it is time to call a halt to the potential des-
tructive activities of the "Torch." Secret movements within a 
school tend only to tear down. It is the avowed policy of the 
Clock Tower to build a better College, and the editors of your 
paper are pledged to cooperate with the faculty toward the 
achievement of that high purpose..It is the aim of every thinking 
student—it should be the aim of every student—in Union College 
to set a noble example of cooperation and not follow a sub-
versive one of resistance.

"Oh, he's just naturally smart." 
"If I could make grades as 
she can . . ." 
'If it weren't for so many "A" 
students in that class, I might 
make a higher grade." 
These remarks are common 
around the campus, but is 
there an actual basis for them? 
In reality, only seven out of 
more than six-hundred students 
received the top grade for their 
school-work during the past se-
mester. Really not too many to 
worry about, are there? In fact, 
we might better consider why 
there were so few. 
Let us see what the "A" stu-
dents themselves have to say 
concerning their methods of 
study. 
Josephine Griffin says one of 
the greatest secrets of her grades 
is the fact that she puts prayer 
and Bible study first, never let-
ting her studies keep her from 
daily time with God. Because of 
this practice, she finds that her 
brain is clearer, and she wastes 
less time in "getting down to 
business." 
"I also believe a schedule 
helps—not one with lots of minor 
details so every minute is taken, 
but a blocking off of the day's 
work to organize it and save 
time," she continued. 
"Be willing to do more than 
is required," says Lorraine Davis. 
"It's the 'and then some' that 
counts," agrees Howard Matti-
son. 
He says it is very helpful to 
learn to know his teachers' 
methods of teaching and what 
each considers important. "Be 
friendly to all your teachers," 
agrees Josephine, "but do not 
become an 'apple polisher'." 
Since one's attitude toward 
his studies largely affects his 
grades, Lorraine says, "Be eager 
for knowledge of every kind. 
Have confidence that you can 
learn anything and that you can 
reach a high goal. Do the best 
you can and the most' you can. 
Do you say that only life-long 
"A" students receive "A" in col-
lege? Two students agreed that 
they had been in the habit of 
receiving "A's" largely through 
the influence of their parents 
and because of their training in 
good study habits. 
Howard, however, will assure 
you that this is not always true. 
VIRCENE BUCK 
Virgene Westermeyer-Buck is 
one of our senior students who 
received her "Mrs." before she 
will receive her B.A. degree. 
Her major is her husband "Don-
ald," but according to the reg-
istrar's office, it is English. Be-
fore meeting Don she planned 
to be a dean of girl's in an acad-
emy, but she was sidetracked. 
The first date with her husband 
was on a Hallowe'en hike, so 
she recommends them to those 
Over 130 people attended the 
regular meeting of Alpha 
Tua Sigma, the colporteur 
club, Tuesday evening, March 5. 
Elder C. G. Cross, Central Union 
publishing department secretary 
spoke briefly on the aims of the 
club. 
President Carl Watts super-
vised the dividing of the body 
Last semester's work was his 
first to be rewarded with all 
"A's". He was shocked recently 
upon looking at old grade slips 
to see the low marks he once re-
ceived. In 1937, when he re-
turned to Union, he determined 
to do his very best in his school-
work. He worked hard only to 
receive a "string of `B's' " at the 
end of the semester, but he had 
learned a great deal about how 
to study. He learned the impor-
tance of keeping up-to-date in 
outside reading. "Reading be-
hind your lesson is a waste of 
time," he said. 
This year when he returned to 
Union, he again set for himself 
a goal and determined to do his 
best. The "string of `B's'
changed to "A's". "I was sur-
prised at two of them," he said 
with a twinkle in his eyes. 
All agreed that it sometimes 
requires a choice between les-
sons and pleasure, but all who 
know these students will tell 
you that they are not among 
those who are dull and uninter-
esting from overstudy. 
Now you say, "Why aren't 
they satisfied to receive 'B's' or 
'C's'?" Some of them realize that 
God expects the best use of 
time, money and intellect. Others 
are eager for knowledge of all 
kinds, for they realize it will be 
a help to them in their future 
life's work. 
Most of them believe that if 
students would only realize how 
much time they waste, and 
would put forth their best 
efforts, at all times, grade books 
would reveal an astonishing 
number of "A" students in the 
future. The reward comes in the 
feeling that one has done his 
best. 
Students receiving all "A's" 
for the past semester are Cora-
mae Thomas and Howard Mat-
tison, both seniors from Texas; 
Roberta Saunders, senior from 
Minnesota; Merlene Ogden, 
freshman from Nebraska. "A's" 
in everything except physical 
education and music were re-
ceived by Josephine Griffin, 
junior, Texas; Branka Bogdano-
vich, sophomore, Missouri; and 
Lorraine Davis, freshman, Wyo-
ming. Each of these students 
was registered for twelve or more 
hours of classwork. 
who are interested. Consider-
ing the fact that she has a 
brother, she lived a very nor-
mal childhood. She likes sports, 
especially golf, tennis, and 
swimming; she dislikes con-
ceited people and gossips. 
Virgene's ambition is to tra-
vel abroad in Spain, France, and 
England. Her hobby is music, 
specifically piano; and she gives 
good musical readings. 
Virgene was in Who's Who in

in Union's history, have indica-
ted their desire to canvass this 
summer. 
ELDER J. W. ROWLAND 
The Bible department can 
boast the largest number of ma-
jors of any department in the 
college. One hundred and forty-
one students are now working 
toward their religion major. 
Of this group eighteen are young 
women who are preparing to 
be Bible workers and Bible in-
structors. 
At present there are three 
teachers in the department. Eld-
er J. W. Rowland, who has spent 
almost twenty years in the mis-
sion fields of the Orient, heads 
the department and is assisted 
by Elders Lowell Welch and 
J. A. Buckwalter. 
If present plans materialize, 
the department will be enlarged 
next year, and the teaching staff 
increased by as least one mem-
ber. 
Special emphasis in the' de-
partment curriculum is placed 
upon the original languages in 
MISS CULPEPPER 
GUEST OF 
CLUB PARNASSUS 
Miss Lessie Lee Culpepper 
conducted the program _of the 
Club Parnassus, March 6. She 
related interesting facts of the 
lives of several 19th century 
American authors such as Poe 
and Whitman, quoting favorite 
selections from each, and using 
a map and other effective illus-
trations. 
An election was held, with 
Tom Moore presiding. The new 
officers who were selected were 
Coramae Thomas, president, 
Branka Bogdonavich, vice-presi-
dent and Betty Yarwood, secre-
tary-treasurer. 
The constitution for the club 
was presented by Tom Moore. 
Upper Division KDL 
Elects New Officers 
Upper Division K.D.L. met in 
the North Hall parlor Wednes-
day evening, February 28th. 
Cathleen Chilson, president of 
the club was in the chair. After 
the scripture reading and prayer 
by Lillian Mantz, the meeting 
was turned over to the standard's 
committee, headed by Beth 
Cadenhead. Small slips of paper 
containing questions about at-
tending the movies were passed 
out to five of the club members, 
Essie Lee Davidson, Hilda Fern 
Remley, Aletha McGirr, Inez 
Myers, and Laurie MacPherson 
Each girl was asked to answer 
her question as best she could 
and then call upon the club for 
further remarks. Each question 
which the Bible was written. 
Greek, the New Testament lan-
guage, is required for all min-
isterial religion majors, and He-
brew, the Old Testament lan-
guage, is strongly recommended. 
The Ministerial Association, 
sponsored by the department, 
meets twice a month and gives 
practice in public speaking to 
those planning for the ministry. 
It is the plan to have three short 
talks each meeting covering as 
many phases as possible of the 
subject under discussion. 
The Field Evangelism class, 
taught by Elder Buckwalter, is 
holding nine evangelistic efforts 
this year. This enables the stu-
dents to obtain practical exper-
ience under the supervision of a 
trained teacher. 
Those in the class must make 
all arrangements for the places 
of meeting, and advertising, as 
well as preparing the sermons. 
Expenses are paid from a fund 
which is contributed by the col-
lege and the surrounding con-
ferences for this purpose. When-
ever possible the meetings are 
followed up by visits to the 
homes of those interested. 
The spirit of the department 
is amply expressed by these 
words of Elder Rowland. "We of 
the department hope that the 
work may be the means of help-
ing young people prepare to 
take their places at the ends of 
the Golden Cords. Our motto is 
`A bigger and better department 
in the years to come.'" 
Dame Fashion Visits KDL 
Fashions for the soon-coming 
spring was the topic of the pro-
gram for Lower Division K.D.L. 
on Wednesday evening, Feb-
ruary 28th. After the scripture 
reading and prayer by Virginia 
Carter, the worship room was 
transformed into a broadcasting 
studio. "Springtime", the theme 
song of the fashion broadcast 
was sung by Arleen Vande Vere 
and Lorraine Waller. Ardis Ras-
mussen acted as radio announ-
cer and introduced the three 
fashion experts of the evening 
who discussed the latest fashions. 
Ethel Trygg told the radio au-
dience of the new spring dresses 
which would soon be the style 
of the day. Dorothy Anderson 
discussed coats, and Lila Davis 
devoted her talk to spring ac-
cessories.

CLOCK TOWER, MARCH 13, 1946 �

Judge Nellie Root is sitting on the court bench once again to 
pass judgment on all the bad books that are on trial. Those 
that need "Capital" correction are sent to the Capital City Book 
Bindery Reformatory to be placed in charge of Warden Straight. 
Johnny Book is there, and as Judge Root passes the sentence, 
Johnny looks repentant already. The charge against him is that he 
has had some of his pages pulled out, some torn, and his cover 
badly damaged in a battle with Book Worm. So, off he goes to 
be reformed! 
Warden Straight is right on the job at the arrival of Johnny 
Book. The Warden's helper, Edna Mae Alexander checks in 
Johnny Book and gives him a number. This measure will prevent 
any attempted escape. 
At this point, poor Johnny begins to wonder, "What is com-
ing next?" His plea, "Oh, no! not that! Please don't take away my 
comfortable clothes!" is of no avail. Quickly, his covers are torn 
off. His pages are checked, in order to be sure they are all there 
and in order. 
The next step is to take Johnny Book to be perforated. The 
sewing process is conducted by Mavis Emmerson, Mary Collins, 
Loie Lee Frances and Ruth Wilson. This seems almost too much 
to Johnny Book, but he has to be made over before he can re-
turn to normal life on the Book Shelves. 
The hair-cut is next. Johnny gets trimmed by barber Bever-
ly Ellithorpe. 
Next, Betty Saunders applies the glue to Johnny and "rounds" 
him. Alpha Rahn is ready next with a heavy hammer to "back" 
Johnny. 
 
A new suit is cut for him by Dorothy Roy. This means that 
Johnny's reformatory term is nearing completion. Dorothy effi-
ciently "cuts the cover board" while Mrs. Jorgenson places the 
covering on the cover board. 
The first casing is placed on Johnny Book by La Vonne Co-
zad, Marion Daily and Mrs. Breashears. The cover board and out-
lining covering are then glued so that Johnny can hardly be rec-
ognized as the same Mr. Book that came only a short time ago. 
Johnny's name is stamped on him and then he is put in the 
second casing. As a final measure, Johnny has to be put into 
a heavily weighed press, while he dries from 12 to 24 hours. 
After this trying period of reformation, Johnny Book is com-
pletely newly dressed, ready for service again. 
LIFE IN THE BINDERY...

L R• C• 
The Philippine Islands in time 
of war were portrayed by Lyle 
Barker formerly of the United 
States Army, and Gilbert Jorgen-
sen, formerly of the Navy. in the 
March 6 meeting of the Inter-
national Relations Club. 
The question of Philippine 
independence was discussed by 
Mr. Barker. "Devasted Manila 
and the other vast masses of de-
struction reveal the impossibil-
ity of their independence," com-
mented the speaker. It will be 
a matter of years before the 
Philippines can be rebuilt, he 
asserted. 
Cebu, the center of the Phil-
ippine Islands, was Mr. Jorgen-
sen's destination. "Cebu was a 
city of culture; an intellectual 
center. It is now a heap of ruin," 
he said. Mr. Jorgensen had the 
opportunity of visiting the once-
thriving twelve-grade Seventh-
day Adventist school at Cebu. 
"One bomb changed that pic-
ture of tropical splendor to one 
of utter demolition." described 
the speaker. 
Preceding the discussions, the 
club elected Halbert Finnel as 
vice-president to succeed Har-
old Cherne, who left recently to 
join the armed forces. 
BUSINESS CLUB 
The Business Club was enter-
tained by three films at the meet-
ing of March 6. The pictures 
were entitled, "The Boss Who 
Didn't Say Good Morning!", 
"Black Bear Cubs" and "Bomb-
ing Over Tokyo." 
A new vice-president, Eugene 
Burley, was elected to fill the 
vacancy left by Robert Dunn.

The Teachers of Tomorrow 
Club met in Room 302 to see the 
film, "My America" on March 6. 
This was a war picture. 
Mu Epsilon Delta 
Dr. David S. Rausten, of Lin-
coln, is scheduled to conduct the 
next club meeting which will be 
Saturday night, March 16. At 
this time, an open forum dis-
cussion will be held. Club mem-
bers will all participate. Their 
questions will be of personal 
interest and relative to the med-
ical practice. 
At the club meeting, Satur-
day night, March 2, Dr. F. A. 
Alcorn showed films of the var-
ied methods of treatment he has 
used for every type of surgical 
case. Dr. Alcorn is from the 
Orthopedic Hospital in Lincoln. 
Scavengers Hunf 
"Where can I find a purple 
polka-dot necktie?" "Who has a 
half pair of scissors?" The casual 
passerby last Saturday evening, 
March 9, might have heard 
these and similar cries over the 
campus as students took part in 
a scavenger hunt. 
After meeting at North Hall 
at 7:45, the leaders of the var-
ious groups were given lists of 
thirty-five articles which they 
were to find. Many groans per-
meated the welkin as the in-
geniously concocted lists were 
viewed, but notwithstanding, 
after diligently scouring the 
campus for such articles as a 
size fourteen shoe or a wooden 
skate wheel, one group was suc-
cessful in gaining the prize con-
sisting of free ice cream at the 
dairy. 
The group leaders were as 
follows: Winton Anderson, Joe 
Barnes, Edwin Beck, Howard 
Birch, Mackay Christianson, 
Hugh Coy, Gordon Engen, Orvin

Presents Lyceum 
Captain Bob Bartlett brought 
his reels of the "Arctic in Color" 
to Union College Saturday night, 
March 2. As the pictures were 
shown, he told the stories con-
nected with the scenes. He has 
spent considerable time in New-
foundland and Greenland. He 
spoke of the quick changes that 
were made after the war start-
ed, how flowery meadows be-
came airbases overnight. He told 
of the good will the people of 
these countries have toward the 
G.I.'s. 
The pictures showed gigan-
tic icebergs, clear, blue water 
and awe-inspiring sunsets. He 
also had pictures on wild life.

Secretary of State Seward, 
who bought Alaska for the Uni-
ted States, is Elizabeth Jensen's 
great-great-grandmother s cous-
in. 
Mrs. Coramae Thomas, stu-
dent teacher in English III, was 
born in a room where Colonel 
Lindbergh once stayed in Tem-
ple, Texas. 
Joan England's grandfather, 
George Ross, traces his ances-
try back to Betsy Ross, of Am-
erican flag fame. 
Roy Matthew's great-great-
great-grandfather was a pirate 
on the high seas. 
Francisco Zerega's father's 
mother was an Indian. He also 
states that his name should be 
Werner, instead of Zerega, for 
his grandfather, after he moved 
to Mexico, chose his wife's name 
Zerega. 
Lorena McDermott's mother's 
ancestors belonged to English 
royalty. 
Many generations back Lois 
Lowry's grandparents came over 
on the Mayflower. 
Larry Rhodes' great-grandfa-
ther carried mail in a covered 
wagon in Nebraska. Since he 
could neither read nor write, 
the mail was placed in different 
colored pouches so that he could 
tell where the various letters 
were to be delivered. 
Wilma Swanson' great-grand-
mother once received the gold 
cup from the king of Sweden for 
valuable service rendered. This 
cup is still in Wilma's family. 
Elton McCown's step-grand-
father was the first settler in 
Perkins County, Nebraska, to

Dr. T. R. Howard, who grad-
uated with the pre-medical class 
of 1931 and received his bach-
elor of science degree from this 
college in 1941, was prominently 
featured in The Saturday Even-
ing Post of February 23. The 
article was entitled "He's Doing 
Something About the Race Prob-
lem." 
Dr. Howard is the head sur-
geon and chief instigator of the 
new modern Negro settlement 
at Mound Bayou, Mississippi. 
Only a few years ago Mound 
Bayou was no different from any 
sleepy little Negro cotton town 
of maybe 1200 population. To-
day there is a new red-brick hos-
pital, comfortable bungalows, 
well-managed farms, an amuse-
ment park, and the beginning of 
a zoo. All this is due to the civic 
facial surgery which Dr. Howard I 
has been performing. 
When Howard was twelve, 
he had a job which was common 
in the South—that of being a Ne- 
gro companion to a white boy. 
The uncle of the boy with whom 
he was paid to play became 
interested in him and made it

First signs of Spring are mak- 
ing the fellows of South Hall a 
little light-hearted, and they feel 
like walking on air! However, 
there are still a few who are 
somewhat despondent. The fol-
lowing quotation is for this min-
ority: 
"I have no time to worry,' 
said the happy man. 'In the day-
time I'm too busy, and at night 
I'm too sleepy.' "
