CAMPAIGN FOR CLOCK TOWER SUBS LAUNCHED Chapel Program Announces Annual Drive. Again Boys And Girls Are Rivals. Clyde Bushnell and Elinore Hahn, Leaders, Encourage Sides to Win CONTEST CLOSES NOV. 22 Introduction to Ingathering Work Coen By Hackman Pastor E. F. Hackman, associate sec- retary of the General conference home missionary department, introduced the Harvest Ingathering work Friday at chapel. It is interesting to know that the idea of Harvest Ingathering was planned and started within the vicinity of Union Col- lege and also that it originated with the lay members of the church and not the clergy. Mr. Hackman stated that, on an aver- age, four cents per second, the world over, is taken in for Harvest Ingathering the year through. - For the ingathering work of 1931, two million Harvest Ingathering papers were printed for North America alone; fifteen tons of paper, one ton of black ink, and one quarter ton of colored ink were required for this printing," he said. To prove that this work is sanctioned by God, Pastor Hackman said that four times God sent His people to the out- side world for money: first, at the de- parture of Israel from Egypt; second, in the days of Ezra for the rebuilding of the temple; third, the gifts brought to Jesus at his birth; fourth, as spoken of in Isa. 60:5, "The wealth of the gentiles shall come unto thee." Speaking of what Harvest Ingathering means to the workers gone out from Union, Mr. Hackman said that thirty-one per cent of mission funds come from the Ingathering work and that one third of the souls baptized outside of North Amer- ica are attributed to Harvest Ingathering loyalty. "We raise this money by everyone doing his part," concluded Pastor Hack- man. BAKER TALKS AT VESPER SERVICE "Signs" Editor Discusses Fully Four Advertising Slogans of Modern Business MAKES APPLICATION Advocates Jesus Christ as the Great Renovator and Re-toucher of Human Souls "I want to talk to the young people of Union College tonight on the advertis- ing business, - said Alonzo L. Baker, edi- tor of the Signs of the Times, in his opening remarks at the vesper service Friday evening. "That may seem a queer topic for Friday evening, but I am going to take four slogans that have been in- vented by the advertising business and apply them to religion," he continued. The first slogan Mr. Baker cited was the one he had seen displayed by a Western store: "Nothing down—pay later." — That is a very attractive slogan, and an easy proposition," continued the speaker, "but it is not new, for it was first coined six thousand years ago in the Garden of Eden by the greatest adver- tising specialist of all time, the devil him- self. He said to Eve, 'You are just com- mon gardeners. I will make you as gods.' And to the woman's question, 'What is the price?' his reply was, 'Nothing down —pay later.' If Eve had known how much her sin was going to cost, she would never have done it. But she took the devil's proposition, and for six thous- and years the world has been paying that bill on the installment plan. "The devil tells us it costs a lot to be a Christian, but it doesn't cost much to go in his easy-going way. That is the biggest lie the devil ever invented. The devil is the hardest task-master in the world. You never get the devil paid as long as you live. "Installment buying compromises your future, and many young men and young women are compromising their futures. Wouiddt it be a great thing, young peo- ple, if we had to pay cash for sin? I think that would be a really great idea. If I had to pay cash every time I was about to sin, and if you had to pay cash every time you were going to sin, do you think we would rush into it as heed- lessly and thoughtlessly as we do? "The devil says, 'It is a hard thing to be a Christian, an easy thing to be a sinner.' But the only real bargain in the world is Christianity. He says, 'You can't get a bargain except on the count- ers of sin.' But really, you can only get a bargain through Jesus Christ, for His proposition is, 'Nothing down, and you don't even have to pay later.' When you come to Jesus, it is a trade-in proposition.

Signor Salvi was born in Venice, Italy, in 1893, the son of an Italian harp maker. He took his first lessons on a miniature harp which his father made especially for him. As a result of his long practice and natural ability, he won the royal scholarship prize, and thus re- ceived all his training at the expense of the Italian government. He is a composer and director and is hailed today as the greatest living harpist in the world. Miss Powers comes from a family of professional musicians. She first played the piano, and then the violin, which chance placed in her hands. After a brief but intensive study in New York, she was accepted as a pupil by Leopold Auer. She combines a wealth of talent and per- sonal charm with skill in technique and warmth in tone. Her unassuming man- ner and pleasing personality are delight- ful. The program began with - Moment* Musical" by Schubert, played by Signor Salvi. His second number, "Waltz de Concert," is one of his own compositions. Miss Powers' first group included "Cha- conne" by Vitali, "Berceuse" by Tor Aulin, and "Introduction and Tarantelle - by Sarasate. Signor Salvi accompanied her on the piano. Next Signor Salvi played "Arabesque" by Debussy and "Etude in A Flat" by Chopin, and was enthusiastically encor- (Continued on page three) Returned Unionite Describes Union BY ANNE OBSERVER Everything at Union is just as you like it. The first thing is North hall and Miss Rees. During the years I've been out of college, I have changed considerably in my likes and dislikes, But this year when I returned I found that North hall had changed accordingly. It's just as I like it. North hall girls are better (no, not big- ger). Somehow I find them living up to their motto "Others- more fully than be- fore. One day I heard a lovely girl say to one, not so lovely, who was sick, "If there is anything I can get for you or do for you, just call me." This wasn't the girl's roommate either. That's what we call "North Hall Spirit." Sometimes it takes sickness for a girl to find that out. She could have seen it be- fore if she had had her eyes open. In that case, thank God for sickness!

After prayer Mr. Hartwell introduced the speakers of the evening, Chester Barger and Everett Coleman. Mr. Barger spoke on the "Government of God." He brought out the importance of the six essential factors for a govern- ment, and by texts proved that God had a government. "In order for a government to exist there must be a population," said Mr. Barger. Then taking texts in Psalms and other parts of the Bible he showed the allusions to the hosts of God's dominion. His other essential divisions for a government were territory, unity, political organization, independence, and perman- ency. In comparison to each of these he found Bible texts proving God's posses- sion of a government. After Mr. Barger's remarks, Harry Craig gave a vocal solo, "Look Down Dear Lord," by Fisher. Mr. Coleman drew a vivid word pic- ture of the Great Controversy and des- cribed the rebel himself. "All the devil wanted in his actions of rebellion was self-promotion," said Mr. Coleman. He stated further that "The devil staked all he had. If he won in his endeavor, he would win all; but if he lost, he would lose all." After a closing song, Professor House pronounced the benediction.

"This people," said the speaker, "is what it is, not because of the gifts or faithfulness of a few, but because of the faithfulness of the rank and file of the whole movement. Do we realize that the strength of this last warning message rests upon our shoulders. We must build upon the spirit of the early founders. Then. the believers were few and poor; now, the work extends to 139 countries and counts its assets by the millions. This work is a fulfillment of prophecy and cannot fail.

Within the past week the Reichstag, heavily guarded by police, convened with the reorganized cabinet of Chancellor Heinrich Bruening, seeking a vote of con- fidence to continue the dictatorial govern- ment-by-decree. Several major victories have assured the Bruening cabinet that it will be the government during the win- ter. Japan and China continue their dead- lock over Manchuria, while the council of the League of Nations struggles to effect a compromise at Geneva. 'The League, asking the participation of the United States in the Manchurian delibera- tion, was at first coldly refused by Japan. The League seems to have faced the most severe test of its prestige, but by the skillful diplomacy of Japanese Ambas- sador Debuchi the opposition of the Jap- anese government was subsequently mol- lified, and Debuchi, after a conference with Stimson, sent an explanation to To- kyo, which put a new light on the situa- tion.

Many students and teachers came early to chapel and joined heartily in the fifteen-minute song serv- ice preceding Sabbath school. The hymn, "I will sing of Jesus' love," was sung for the opening song. Marvin Meeker read the lesson Scripture and offered prayer. The orchestra then played a selection and Robert Whitsett gave the report of the previous Sabbath. The Mission talk, which consisted of an interesting letter from M. C. Warren on Mohammedan life, was given by Mr. Hughes. Just before the orchestra played for the classes to separate, Mr. Whitsett pre- sented a new goal device. Suspended from the arch above the stage was a large dirigible. Mr. Whitsett explained that every class with a perfect record in daily lesson study, attendance, and donations would have its name placed on the gondola of the dirigible. Mr. Whitsett next produced a city map through which were running two streets and at the end of which was a large church. On these two streets were two buses, one representing the boys, the other the girls. The object of this, Mr. Whitsett explained, is to compare the girls with the boys in attendance, daily lesson study, and donations. The buses will be moved toward the church in proportion to the loyalty of each group. al president of the republic, resigned be- cause he thought constitutional assembly sanctioned too severe measures in re- stricting the activities of religious orders. The United States has definitely de- cided to participate in the League of Na- tions council sessions over the Manchur- ian crisis. Prentiss Gilbert, American con- sul at Geneva, has been directed to act as representative of the U. S. in the League council. The government of republican Spain has been turned over in a simple cere mony to Manuel Azana, liberal, intellect- ual, and supporter of the tight restrictions placed on the church in Spain. Azana took over power from Niceo Alcala Za- mora, first leader of the republic, and ad- vocate of the more moderate treatment of the church. H. G. Wells, England's most distin- guished novelist, arrived at New York this week. In being interviewed about the conditions of the world today, he said "that wars did not come in cycles, and predicted that the United States, and other civilized countries, as well as the uncivilized countries of the earth, would shortly be called upon to take part in an Armageddon." "Unless we stabilize the financial situ- ation throughout the world, there will be general chaos," he concluded. (Continued on page four) The CLOCK TOWER subscription con- test between the young men and young women was formally opened Wednesday morning in chapel. Gerald Minchin, the editor of the paper, was the first speaker. He solicited the co-operation of the stu- dent body by explaining that everything in the affairs of the CLOCK TOWER is not yet "ship-shape - and the staff is in dire need of "ship hands." - Success cannot be reached with fifteen or twenty staff members alone, - said he. It was also stated that the editorial staff was in need of manuscripts, and he urged the students to make suggestions freely. He said, "We should regard our obligations to the college paper as we do toward our classes and make it our own paper. - Alva Phillips, the circulation manager, opened his remarks by saying, "It is with a feeling of nervousness that I ap- proach the greatest event of the school year, the opening of the CLOCK TOWER campaign." He knew that the hearts of the young men and women were flutter- FIELD DAY PLANS MADE IN CHAPEL Students Give Demonstrations of Canvassing in Business Office and Home Chapel time Monday was devoted to instructions in Harvest Ingathering pro- cedure. Pastor Burroughs reminded us that we ar e livino in the strangest hour the world has ever known. "Men's hearts are stirred to know what is to come and all are interested," he said. "It is a time unlike any before, a time in which over- production of the necessities of life does not mean plenty for all, but rather means suffering for many." "We have all resolved that in this time we will do something big for God. Now is the time to do it. We face a crisis in faith as well as of means. This can be the best year, for, in spite of the cry of depression, more are interested in putting across the program; and although gifts may be small, with the increase in workers we can have an increase in means. Field day is a serious task, but if we do our part, God will do His in opening the hearts and pocket-books of men, that His treasury may be filled." Pastor Hay then said that the Harvest Ingathering is a means of bringing our work before the world and selling the idea of wanting to help. His greatest concern was that the Harvest Ingather- ing should be a spiritual as well as a financial endeavor. Two scenes were given to show a typi- cal home and an office, as each is entered by a student of Union College. In the first Miss Lankford showed how easy it is to obtain a five dollar dona- tion, while in the second Miss Keith and Miss Williams overcame several objec- tions that everybody meets, in convinc- ing a business man that he should give five dollars to the greatest of all works. Saxophone Upheld Before Accusers BY A SAX PLAYER The fact that I play a saxophone is not sufficient evidence that every screech of a saxophone is music to my ears. Neither is it true that the saxophone is always responsible for every such noise. So many have put the saxophone in the cellar rating of musical instruments, for which it is not responsible. Then who is to blame? Primarily, it is the saxophone player. It is a current idea that as soon as a person has found the keys corresponding to notes, he has conquered the saxophone. The ridiculous advertising of many band houses is, to a great extent, responsible for this peripheral saxophone playing. No one can learn to play a saxophone—really play it—in two or three weeks, as these band houses would make us believe. It comes by practice, as is true of any other instru- ment. The mere sounding of notes does not qualify anyone as a musician. The result has been that the mere men- (Continued on page four) ing as they anxiously waited for the rules of the contest. "It will close November 22 at 8:00 p. m., and there will be no ex- tension," he said. "The winning side will be entertained, but no one may at- tend the entertainment unless he has three subscriptions besides his own. Prizes will be given to all of those who receive twelve, and those who receive twenty- five subscriptions." The one to get the highest amount, provided it's over fifty, will get a great big prize." There followed a "dialogue" in which was pictured an academy faculty meet- ing. The faculty consisted of Mr. Min- chin, principal; Lowell Welch, science teacher; Alva Phillips, preceptor, and other members of the staff. Mr. Phillips suspected a certain young man, Glenn Powell, of slipping out of the dormitory. In an attempt to catch him he had locked the door leaving the transom open, and had sprinkled Dutch Cleanser on the open- ing. Upon finding the white substance on Glenn's clothes he contended that the boy should be sent home. After much ex- planation he was made to understand that Glenn had been moving flour in the din- ing room, and this had made his clothing white. Someone brought a copy of the CLOCK TOWER into the room, and, as a result no one would listen to Mr. Phillips, who, still wishing that the boy be sent home, explained that he thought Glenn had stolen his three pairs of red socks. They were reading the paper when the prin- cipal, failing to maintain order, joined the group reading the CLOCK TOWER, and the faculty meeting was abruptly closed. Amidst wild applause, the leader of the girls, Elinore Hahn, expressed her confidence in the girls' lack of supersti- tion in the belief that "third time's a charm." As she asked, "Who won the campaign in 1929?" a faint answer was heard on the west side of the chapel saying, "Girls!" The noise increased on the next question, "Who won in 1930?" But when asked, "Who is going to win in 1931?" a roar came from the young men of Union as they suddenly came to life and announced with much gusto, - BOYS! ! - Miss Hahn explained that the (Continued on page three) Dean Kime Gives Impressions of The Middle West By DEAN KIME I shall have to confess at the very be- ginning that my impressions are limited to observations made in only one state, and that is Nebraska. Is this state repre- sentative of others in the great Mississip- pi Valley? I can but await a favorable opportunity to answer that question for myself. On entering the state at its western ex- tremity, some historical facts came to my mind: first, its importance as a starting point in the great far western develop- ment. Thousands of pioneers traversed this territory in the search of fortune and home. Later, the well-worn wagon trail became the route of the first transcontin- ental railway, the Union Pacific. At North Platte, I was reminded of the old historical character, Buffalo Bill, who was undoubtedly the inspiration of many "wild west" novelists. I had never known just how Cody came by his name of Buffalo Bill until I reached this town. The drive down the beautiful Platte River valky was in striking contrast to some of the desolate stretches of eastern Wyoming and Idaho. The farther east, the more productive and prosperous the farms seemed to be. The rolling hills, beautiful meadows, and fertile fields of eastern Nebraska cannot, I believe, be surpassed in any state of the Union. I was somewhat surprised to find such gently rolling hills in the vicinity of Lin- coln, because I had been told that the country was very flat, so that we could see for many miles in any direction. And the beautiful city of Lincoln with its stimulating business activity gives the lie to the much heard cry of "depression." When the excellent campus of Union College came into view, it formed a sort of climax to an ever growing procession of natural increasing beauty, for I do Weekly Review of World Affairs BY HAROLD LINCOLN THE CLOCK TOWER Fred Lee - A.

More than once has the editorial ear caught whisperings of a quite unwholesome sort; therefore, it is due the patrons and friends of this institution that they be reassured as to the spiritual health and intellectual vigor of Union. They have sacrificed to support her and are entitled to a knowledge of the truth. Of course, Union College is not alone in being subject to critic- ism. Any individual or institution that is devoted to definite advance- ment in spiritual and educational endeavor is liable to be criticized, or at least to be misunderstood. That is the common lot of the forward- looking few. True sons and daughters of Union resent imputations of world- liness and lowered standards that are sometimes bandied about so carelessly, often by those who ought to know better. One is fre- quently surprised at the source of some of these remarks. That most of those making these remarks are actuated by sincere motives is clOubtless true, but their judgment and understanding of the situation that really exists is open to question. Indeed, it is a simple matter to criticize, particularly from a distance where only the externals may be seen. Moreover, it is the unhappy custom of some to adjust their spectacles to such an angle that their vision becomes seriously distorted. But if it is a sign of lowered ideals to be vitally concerned about the hopes and ambitions of Seventh-day Adventist young people, Union is guilty; if it is an indication of shallowness to be frankly facing the tremendous issues that confront this generation, Union is guilty; if it is an evidence of worldliness to teach young people to meet reverently and intelligently the problem of their own personal faith, Union is guilty; and if it is a crime to aspire to give a reason for the hope that is within us. then Union pleads guilty, for she unblushingly does all of these things. The fact is, this college need make no defence, no plea, no apology. An institution that produces the type of manhood and wo- manhood that has gone forth from these halls is never on the de- fensive. And she is still sending them out. Let the skeptical take down the Seventh-day Adventist year book and underscore the names of Union College students and graduates. It will be seen that Union proudly takes her place right along-side her sister colleges in doing that very work for which she and they were founded. This tradition of service persists today. No one who has caught the spirit of Union College prayer bands, of her chapel exercises, of her missionary bands, of her Friday night services, will question her spiritual tone. Neither will those who have visited her classrooms have any doubt as to the consecrated scholarship of her teachers. Nevertheless, the CLOCK TOWER does feel that it represents the student body aright in protesting against some of the loose, and therefore cheap, talk that occasionally is heard. And so be it declared emphatically that those who are inside the walls of Union College, knowing her the best, are convinced of her fundamental soundness, and believe that she will continue to render that service to God and man that has been her glory for the past forty years. G. H. M. BZ—Z—Z! We have a big grudge. In fact, we've had it a long, long time, and here it is: Why will some individuals insist on ruining the church service for many others? Last Sabbath from behind us came incessant whispering ( and strangely the buzz was not of Sabbath topics), and in front sat one chewing gum as if his ( or her?) life depended on one more "chaw" before another second passed. Time after time we have been gently reminded that we ought to follow the pattern of other churches, and examples have been quoted of their carefulness at church attendance. Queer how we all agree and then go back to church as mean as ever. Friends of Union, let's have a reform movement. If we each refuse to desecrate God's house, we can keep others from doing so. Anyone needs to be thoroughly embarrassed who cannot conduct himself in a manly or womanly way at church. There are many Bible texts and spirit of prophecy references in defense of the subject. Many know them yet disregard them. We would suggest that these be refreshed in the minds of all church-goers. Any minister will be glad to help find these texts for anyone who has doubt in his mind concerning church conduct. We contend that even though a man has no interest in religion, he is not a man unless he show at least respect to a superior Being when he is in His presence. It would be far .better to stay at home than risk incurring divine judgment for our utter disregard. We are not old-fashioned, but we do wish we could bring back the good old days when the children sat with Mother and Dad, the older folks didn't gossip, and the students showed their respect if they had any. Or better yet, instead of the old Puritan father with his feather tickler to keep the congregation awake, let's have a deacon with a weapon that will have either a quieting or an absenting effect. And, as has been said too many times, if the shoe fits, please do wear it! That ends this grudge. A. L. W.

I have heard your plaintive cry, and seeing the dearth of aforementioned material, I am submitting a manuscript. Occasionally I get the 'bug' to write. Not every week—I'm not versatile enough to run it on a syndicate basis—but I will from time to time hand in some elucidation on some observation I have made, and if it meets with your approval will help fill up the vacant spaces that appear in the pages when copy comes in slow ...

North Hall Girls to Buy Parlor Rugs By A MEMBER OP NORTH HALL For two or three years we have been almost holding our breath for fear the rugs in the large parlor in North hall would not possibly last another year, but they have worn better than any one dared anticipate, and might have even lasted this year had it not been for the advent of the radio, which has drawn the girls to the parlor in increasing num- bers. But now the rugs are threadbare, worn through in several places, and must be replaced—and that before many weeks. How could new floor covering be pur- chased this year? was the question, dif- ficult to answer. Then some of the girls and their North hall Mother conceived the idea of asking every girl who has ever lived in the building to send just one dollar each with which to purchase the carpet. A letter was written, which is now going round the world to the members of the North hall family, asking for dollar contributions. And, true to the North hall spirit, responses are com- ing from everywhere, showing that the girls have not forgotten their old school home and are glad to stand loyally by and help in any time of need. The fol- lowing letter from Miss Leona V. Peters is very much like many letters being re- ceived: "I am most glad you called upon me in your campaign for North hall's new rugs. You will find enclosed my bit for this fund. I remember the rugs to have been practically threadbare when I was an occupant of North hall, and that was almost six years ago." The one drawback which confronts us is that so many have changed their names and their addresses that they are difficult to reach. If the CLOCK TOWER readers will help us in this we shall be more than grateful. If you know the changed name and address of any mem- ber of the North hall family and see that Miss Rees gets it, you would be doing us a real favor. Each passing year finds North hall made more comfortable and more attrac- tive by the addition of some needed ac- cessory which is secured by the resident family; but on this, our fortieth anni- versary year, how appropriate it is that all the girls who have ever lived in North hall together, just this once, should pur- chase the much needed carpet. And it is going to be done! How we should like to send you all samples when the purchase is made; but the best that can be done is for you to visit your old col- lege home and see the results of your combined efforts.

If it's dry she digs where it's dry. If she strikes a rock, she works around it. If she gets a few more hours of day- light, she gives us a few more eggs. But always she digs up worms and turns them into hard-shelled profits as well as tender, profitable broilers. Did you ever see a pessimistic hen? Did you ever hear of one starving to death waiting for worms to dig them- selves to the surface? Did you ever hear one cackle because work was hard? Not on your life. They save their breath for digging and their cackles for eggs. Success means digging. Are you?" Cogitation Agitater By W. A. H. One of the things I hear spoken of very little and one that I think should occupy a more important place in our thinking is that admirable trait of char- acter, Sportsmanship. This word has become so warped from its true meaning that on its mention peo- ple respond mentally with the idea of athletics. True, it occupies a place in this field of activity, but its use should not be confined to so narrow a scope of ac- tion. I hope there are few individuals whose vision has become so clouded that they cannot appreciate this word in its largest sense. I am convinced in my own mind that the Golden Rule, as spoken of in Matthew 7:12, finds its fruition in the word "Sportsmanship." I believe no one could say in the face of these facts that sports- manship is not synonymous with Chris- tianity. Christ, the founder of Christiani- ty, is, to my mind, one of the truest ex- amples of good sportsmanship on record. To explain all that I mean in "sports- manship" I say that in athletics the man who is a good clean player, win or lose, who fights for all there is in him and then accepts the result with neither alibi nor prejudice, is called a good sport. The Christian life is that way. The man who lives up to this code of ethics of Christianity finds himself a good Sport. Therefore, with the fact in mind that good sportsmanship is the essence of Christianity and had its origin with the Founder of Christianity, I want to make a few observations. It has puzzled my mind to view the "would-be" Christians who find in their lives no trace of sportsmanship. They would be branded as poor sports in any game they might play; and yet in the game of life, Christian living, if you please, they fail to see the necessity of inculcating the virtues of this word. In life we find that every person is made so differently from all the rest that his reasoning and thinking follow alto- gether different channels, and, as a net result, his conclusions are different. We don't think alike. Because of these dif- ferences of opinion I find that men are enemies. Because this important thing, Christianity, Sportsmanship (in Its broadest sense) has been left out of their conduct. Even as the Saviour said, "Whatsoever ye would that men should Mrs. Howell's Sandwich Shop Short Orders—Confectionery—Small Sunday Dinners—Regular Meals ABA Corner Phone FO-23J PAAP HOTEL MEALS 35c Party or Club Dinners Specialties Phone 48-W X-Ray Res. 202 Diagnosis FRANK T. LOPP Dental Surgeon 203-4 Hornung Building Opposite South Hall do unto you, do ye even so to them," we should forgive and forget. We can't help admiring that man who stands in a committee or on a floor of public dis- cussion for an issue that is not popular and fights to the finish for it, but, in losing or winning, his prejudices and feeling against those who opposed him are forgotten. This is sportsmanship. That is the Christian spirit. God never intended us all to be of the same opinion, but He didn't sanction the idea of being so bigoted that we could not accept the decision and wisdom of others. Again I have seen students in conver- sation, the one refusing to hear any good thing either said or done by the other. That, I feel, is poor Sportsmanship and poor Christianity. You know the type, who, no matter how a thing is done or what is done, always can go one better. We don't care for them. They are not good sports. I could go on relating examples of poor sports, but some positive information might be in order just now. I have in my possession the ten commandments of a good sport as given in a speech to a group of men by a former teacher of this school, Mrs. Rochelle Philmon-Kilgore. The commandments are as follows: Thou shalt not quit; Thou shalt not alibi; Thou shalt not gloat over winning: Thou shalt not be a rotten loser; Thou shalt not take unfair advant- age; Thou shalt not ask odds thou art unwilling to give; Thou shalt always be ready to give thine opponent the shade; Thou shalt not underestimate an op- ponent, nor overestimate thyself; Remember that the game is the thing, and that he who thinketh otherwise is a mucker and no true sportsman; Honor the game thou playest, for he who playeth the game straight and hard wins even when he loses. These ten precepts explain more fully how I feel that sportsmanship can be used in successful Christian thinking. They are self-explanatory. Life has many prob- lems and "No man liveth unto himself." Our lives constantly influence someone. If we are to have the right influence, is it not necessary that we be good sports and good Christians? Laying all person- al feeling aside and being good sports in a Christian way will make this game of life one of joy to all, I'm sure. Let's try to be Christian Sportsmen. And I oft have heard defended— Little said is soonest mended. THE BOOK SHOP THE EXQUISITE TRAGEDY: An In- timate Life of John Ruskin. By Ama- bel Williams-Ellis, New York: Doubleday, Doran Ei Co., 1929. (Call No. B-R89W.) Mrs. Williams-Ellis, in somewhat the same fashion she constructed for us the popular story of the flood in her "Noah's Ark," now presents us a fascinating type of modern biography on the life of John Ruskin. The book proceeds in the author's most clarified manner, somewhat more like her books of fiction than like the life of so ponderous a man as John Ruskin. In tak- ing some of the wrappings off his boy- hood life, she finds the cause of his "tragic" frustrations in the restricting circle of parental influence from which he often tried to break free, but in vain. The cautionary tale for parents which she gives in no way outrages the subject. The picture she finally leaves with the reader is that of a man striving for au- tocratic words and communistic econo- mics, idealistic feelings, and realistic in- tellect; a man torn by psychological rwists which, somehow, shaped his un- happy mind. We must forgive Mrs. Williams-Ellis if her title is a little more ambitious than the book really merits, for the modern biographer must not write merely a "Life of John Doe." It must be "John Doe, the Man and the Poet" or "The Love Life of John Doe the Financier." So Mrs. Williams-Ellis writes an "Exquisite Tragedy" of John Ruskin. Whether the story succeeds in being either "exquisite" or "tragic" might be debated by its vari- ous critics, but that her story is a re- freshing view of this man of letters would be denied by none. It is sincere and moving, touching and informative. It is a sustained effort of sympathetic insight, and is probably the best, and certainly the most readable portrait of John Ruskin that has been attempted.—Cari Moyers.

MILLER OPAINE THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE THREE Into the hall, we find ourselves again in the hurrying crowd and we are re- minded of that little poem by Harriet Martineau. "Beneath this starry arch, Naught resteth or is still; But all things hold their march As if by one great will. Move on! Move all! Hark to the foot fall! On, on forever." We fall in line and follow several stu , dents who seem to know where they are going. Soon we find ourselves in the brary where all is quiet except for ae occasional whisper or the squeak of a chair. Most of the students are very much in earnest as they industriously strive to make the best of their "vacant periods." The northwest corner of the room is a very popular place, so we hurry over to see what the attraction may be. Oh, of course, it is the daily newspaper, for all progressive students must keep up with the times, and "newspapers are the world's mirrors," we are told. We are just in the midst of the account of national affairs in Japan when the bell rings again, and looking up, we find that the room is rapidly being vacated. Not desiring to lose out on anything, we hasten into the hall to find the crowd. Oh, yes, this must be the chapel we have heard about, We notice the students as they enter, the young men at the right door and the ladies at the left. Some linger in the hall for last minute consul- tation or interview, while others proceed into the chapel to visit with their neigh- bor or to take a hurried survey of a ne- glected lesson. Suddenly all is quiet and we look around for the reason. Oh, yes! The faculty members are coming in and taking their respective places on the platform. Then the music begins. What a feeling of worship comes over us during the playing of those sweet strains, and when one of the faculty members reads a por- tion of Scripture we feel that Jehovah is indeed in our midst. Silently we join in the prayer to Him who has given us all things. Each one present seems to enjoy the chapel talk and learn some valuable lessons. But there's one thing about that chapel that I almost forgot to tell you. No doubt you have heard of the Golden Cords. I had always wanted to see them. As I gazed at the many cords hung from the picture of Union, I thought of the many lives represented, and of what a challenge it is to us to keep the "home fires burn- ing." Famous Harpist Plays (Continued from page one) ed. Miss Powers' second group consisted of "Nocturne" by Chopin, "Waltz" by Brahms, and "Perpetual Motion" by Burleigh. The concluding numbers were played by the harpist. They were "Bouree" by Bach, and "Scherzo," a composition of Salvi's. Miss Powers says that her violin is an Italian one of the eighteenth century. She and Signor Salvi have been travel- ing together since last January. When asked if he liked America, Sig- nor Salvi said, "Very much, very much." In comparing Italy with America, he said, "Oh, America is so different, and so much better." He has been giving concerts in this country for about fifteen years, always using the beautiful harp which he has had about the same length of time. Sig- nor Salvi has a charming accent and his speech indicates that he has a fine con- trol of English. Meeting at Reformatory Led By Group From Union Walter Howe reports another interest- ing meeting at the state reformatory last Thursday evening. The usual enthusiastic song service was followed by a short talk by Bill Barclay, who also sang two songs. Clyde Bushnell was introduced as regular pian- ist. Mr. Howe spoke on John 4:29. After- ward there were requests for literature from some of the men. It is reported that two hundred and fifty were present. When Depressions Reach Union By IRENE ORTNER "The melancholy days have come, The saddest of the year." The poet referred to November days, but he didn't even attend Union College; he never knew how aptly he described what is known at the business office as "settlement day." And what, I ask you, could be more melancholy than settle- ment day? Why the statements are even blue this year. Not much encouragement for the poor soul who doesn't even know where his next candy bar is coming from. Judging from the wild expression on the editors' faces, and from recent edi- torials, this depression must have af- fected the news, or at least those who write the news. In fact, it was the dire need evident in the voice of one of the staff that kept me from the ball game to attempt in my feeble (minded) way to aid in squelching this depression. The editor-in-chief and his male assistants look worried. Of course, being boys they have real cause to worry since this sub- scription contest began. But they look more worried than that even. It must be the depression. Speaking of the blueness of the month- ly statements—have you noticed that the boys chose blue as the color for their subscription blanks? It is to be hoped that those hundreds of little blue slips that are being mailed out will not give the receiver that "all gone" feeling that the statements caused. Now, this depression affects different people in different ways. When I in- terviewed my roommate during study period (when the monitor was in the room) she said she felt like screaming. Maybe it was the depression that troubled her. The other day in Spanish class one of the co-eds thought she was saying, "I am hungry." Instead she was saying, "I have a man." Evidently the depression hasn't hit her as hard as it has others. For those who have been affected, let me strike this cheerful note—leap year is coming. Leap year isn't the only anti-depression thing that is coming. In just a little while we will have the Hallowe'en hike. The CLOCK TOWER campaign will close with either the boys or the girls a lot hap- pier. Best of all, this article is going to close right now. ON TIME By HERSEL F. WILLESS One of the most powerful factors brought to bear on us as students is that of time. Indeed, it is a very vital fac- tor, and one which demands very careful regulating. It was Franklin who said, "Wouldst thou have life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of." That is a thought worthy of considerable reflection. I like also to think of time as a lever of the first order. What one puts into it, one will in a measure get out of it. To carrying the analogy a bit farther: by regulating the manner in which the ef- fort is applied, one may secure greater or less results; for by adjusting the dis- tance of the force applied from the ful- crum, comparatively large forces may be exerted by small efforts. It is not unusual to see this principle carried out in the lives of men and wo- men. We often see people who have plot- ted and striven throughout their lives only to die as their fathers had died before them, with little progress and no particu- lar achievement. They soon are relegated KELLER GARAGE RELIABLE - - - REASONABLE Open all day Sunday 200 South 19th Noble Chase Ph.-B3447 College Cleaners & Tailors RESPONSIBLE ELIABLE EASONABLE ABA Block FO-68 4744 Calvert to oblivion, while, on the other hand, history abounds with the names and the achievements of men who, like Lincoln, came into the world with the odds very much against them, but who expended and directed their energies intelligently and purposefully. If we might digress here a moment, it will be interesting to note a strange but very obvious thing. When we encounter a man's name in history we are always told of what he did. We do not remem- ber Captain John Smith because his name was Smith, but because he was a colon- izer, a leader. We know of Florence Nightingale as one whose efforts were spent in the relief of the suffering; and her name is synonymous with such en- deavor. Time is a talent, and the only talent given equally to all men. It is one entity which is not governed by the laws of conservation. Time misspent and squand- ered is time forever lost; time used to its greatest advantage will yield very sur- prising returns. It was by careful atten- tion to this fact that Theodore Roose- velt, while busy with the affairs of state, found time to write so voluminously. The same is true of Thomas Edison and his almost innumerable inventions, of Luther Burbank and his thousands of marvelous new plant products. Martin Luther, al- though very much absorbed in keeping out of the way of the pope and in re- forming the Christian church, found time to unify the German language from the many dialects then extant, to translate the entire Bible into German, as well as leav- ing many immortal poems, songs, and much profound prose. We may be neither Luthers nor Roosevelts, but we all have the same twenty-four hours each day that they had. What shall we do with them? Campaign Launched (Continued from page one) reason the girls did not make so much noise as the boys was that their voices were not so strong and that girls are not naturally so noisy. Then the storm broke! The floor trern- bled and the rafters shook as the boys applauded Clyde Bushnell, their leader. He contended that the girls were travel- ing on the momentum of past victories, and that the boys should arise as one man and smite this seemingly unconquerable foe. Then he said that the young men were electrons, those very small things in the scientific world, who after follow- ing a certain course for some time will suddenly dart in a new direction con- trary to all rules and regulations. After singing the pep song, each group trying to outsing the other, Professor Schilling, though "neutral," voiced his opinion that the boys would win. (Editor's Note: Because of the high campaign fever prevalent at Union now, we are unable to secure unprejudiced news even from our reporters. The ed- itors accept no responsibility for opinions expressed in this report.) CONTEST RULES All students, staff members, and fa- culty are eligible for prizes. The subs of staff and faculty mem- bers count on their respective sides. 3 The student's own sub does not count in the contest. There is to be no pooling of subs. The losers are to entertain the win- ners. Only those who have three or more subs may come to the entertainment. The contest closes 8:00 p. m., No- vember 22, C. S. T. There will be no extension of time. Young Women Give Bible Studies in Lincoln Homes Continuing the work begun last year, Bible studies were given in Lincoln on Sabbath afternoon by young women of the Gospel Workers' seminar. The group was taken to Lincoln in a car driven by Henry Sonnenberg. Ellen Swayze, accompanied by Nell Beem and Hazel Franks, visited a colored woman, with whom Miss Swayze con- ducted a study on "Promises to the Over- comer." Following the study, Miss Swayze spent a short time in answering questions concerning the teachings of the Bible. Bessie McCumsey conducted a cottage meeting in a Spanish home, n which three women took part in the lesson on "Obe- dience." A fourth woman, a regular at- tendant at the meetings, was prevented by illness from being present. Miss McCumsey was assisted by Mabel Broderson and Sophia Van Buskirk. All expressed their pleasure at the resuming of the studies. During the summer, studies have been conducted in Lincoln by Ellen Swayze, Sophia Van Buskirk, Nora Lankford, and members of the College View church. Kime Gives Impressions (Continued from page one) think the campus here is a rare posses- sion. And while the campus buildings are not new, they do have a traditional ap- pearance and emanate a collegiate spirit which may be lacking in many other schools. Everything considered, I think the attractions at Union are much better than at any other of our schools that I have visited. Perhaps I ought to say something about the "unusual" weather that has prevailed since we reached Union. Well, really, I like the winds and the showers. I don't like the heat, but who does? My impressions are favorable in near- ly every way, and I like the country, the people, and the school. I consider it a privilege to live here. This above all, to thine own self be true; And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. —Shakespeare. Alonzo Baker Speaks Play Your Harp? (Continued from page one) Jesus Christ says, 'I will give you a new heart,' and all you have to do is to trade in the old man of sin. When you come to Jesus Christ, you get the best in the world, and you give Him the worst in the world." The second slogan was: "There is no substitute." "Did you ever think that there is no substitute for Jesus Christ?" asked Mr. Baker. And for this he gave the follow- ing reasons: "Suppose you should commit a sin. Could you find anybody to forgive your sin except Jesus Christ? If you and I have sinned, there is no substitute. "If you have a bad conscience, can you get rid of that dark brown taste in your moral mouth anywhere except through Jesus Christ? Nobody can give you a good conscience except Jesus Christ. "Do you know anybody in the universe after whom you can model your life but Jesus Christ? We all have models, but we all know that sooner or later these models of clay crumble. We shall never find a model for life except the Man Jesus Christ. "Do you know any place where you can get power to live up to high ideals except Jesus Christ? "Is there any substitute for Jesus Christ when it comes to an extension of life? I do not know of anybody in the universe that can extend my life ten minutes beyond the normal span except Jesus Christ. We never really learn to live until we are just about to die. In view of that fact, you and I need Jesus Christ for an extension of life, and He is the only being in the universe that can extend our lives." One day Mr. Baker was walking down a street of an Eastern city, with a suit- case in one hand and a brief case in the other, looking for a hotel, when this slo- gan caught his eye: "Recently renovated —under new management." He entered that hotel and found that • it had been made over and refurnished until it was just like new. Mr. Baker continued: "Ev- ery young person who is a Christian goes through life with a sign right on him: 'Recently renovated—under new management.' IICor. 5:17 says: 'There- fore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.' Jesus Christ longs to renovate human beings. He longs to become their new manager. Jesus Christ is the great retoucher of human nature. There isn't a soul on earth that doesn't need that renovation in case he hasn't already had that done by the Holy Spirit. A man that has been renovated doesn't have to hang out a sign to tell people about it— they all know it. You don't have to ad- vertise when you are a Christian. It sticks out, and everybody knows it." The fourth slogan was the well-known one in the field of advertising: "Eventu- ally, why not now?" "I do not know of any advertising slogan in the world that is so powerful as that one when applied to religion," de- clared Mr. Baker. "If eventually you are going to be saved, why not now? I have never met a young person who said, 'I am going to be lost. I plan on being lost.' Every young person intends eventually to get into Heaven. I believe if Christianity is good enough for the life to come, it is good enough for this life. I believe a man can have a better satis- faction in his own life with Him than without Him. A man or woman is very short-sighted who leaves Jesus Christ out of this present life. "You can get shut out of Heaven just as well by neglect as you can by rejec- tion. 'How shall we escape, if we ne- glect so great a salvation?' The most heart-rending cry that you can find any- where is that found in Jeremiah 8:20: 'The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.' That cry goes up, not from those who rejected salvation, but from those who neglected it." President W. E. Nelson, of Pacific Union college, was also present at this vesper service, and offered the opening prayer. By JEANETTE H. MCKIBBEN Our lives are like golden harps. Some are large; some are small; some have more strings; others have less; your strings may be longer, mine shorter. Our characteristics—physical, mental, and spiritual—are the strings of these beauti- ful harps. But a harp must be played; it must be touched by a master hand. We may choose between two masters. Which shall it be? The one is eager for the most beautiful harp—the harp with the most strings. Once in his calloused hands, he strikes a beautiful chord. We are sure that our harp is with the greatest master. He plays on all the strings, beginning with the shorter, finer ones; but as he con- tinues, the music goes faster and faster, louder and louder, when suddenly—snap! He has broken the string of unselfishness. But he does not cease. On he plays, fast- er and louder, with no thought of har- mony and melody, until at last the once beautiful harp lies a twisted mass of brok- en strings. Only loud, coarse ones re- main whole, and on them no harmonious melody can be played. That master fiendishly grins at his audience and leaves the harp where it is, as he hastens in his destruction of anoth- er beautiful one. The other Master comes and gently gathers the quivering strings in his tender hands. He replaces the broken ones, fast- ens again the loose ones, wipes the dusl from the frame, and touches the strings. His loving hands sound also a beauti- ful chord. Very faint it is, and very gen- tle; but as He continues, it becomes sweet- er and clearer. Beautiful and more beauti- ful is the music! Soon He plays faster and louder, but only for a little while. His gentle hands will not break a string. He plays strenuously and hard, but ever carefully. Fuller and fuller becomes the tone until at last He sounds a grand and majestic chord, and lays the harp aside. It is enough. If we willingly give Him our harp with all its strings, He will make a beau- tiful life for us. The more strings, the richer the music. It takes fine strings as well as coarse ones; long ones as well as short ones. Music must include them all. Some times He plays hard and fast on the long strings until our frame begins to quiver; but always he gently soothes them and hastens to a softer, sweeter melody. The masterpiece must consist of contrast in tone, in speed, and in melody. Never fear. He will not break a string. His is the Master's touch. A Day at Union BY GRACE SHAPER It is a delightful day in October and nature seems to be decked in such attrac- tive tints and hues that we wonder what could be more beautiful or entrancing than a day in the woods by a sparkling stream. But come with me and I shall show you a scene which will not soon be forgotten. The clock in the tower of Union Col- lege has just proclaimed the hour of 7:30 a. m. as we arrive at the main entrance. Although the hour is very early, students have begun to arrive. How enthusiastic they seem as they discuss various as- signments for the day or certain events which are to take place in the near future. Some hasten to the library where they make a hasty review of some of the les- sons, for there may be a quiz coming. Who can tell? Br-r-r-r goes the bell and we almost jump out of our shoes. What does it mean? Is there a fire? Soon the place is in a commotion but no one seems excited, unless it is the late-comers who wonder if that is the first or last bell. At once ev- eryone begins to move in various direc- tions, and soon the halls are almost va- cant. Let us visit a classroom and see what they do in this place we call college. On entering the room, we hear the teacher saying, "We'll take just a few mniutes to answer some questions on today's les- son." At this announcement a look of panic and distress comes over the faces of the students, and I hear someone whis- per, "She just knew that I didn't get to study my lesson for today." But the questions come, and while some scratch their heads and attempt to recollect or invent an idea, others are studiously re- counting the points called for. "Papers please," calls the teacher, and immediate- ly the writing and wondering cease. Then an interesting discussion ensues, and when the next bell rings we leave the room, thinking that we should like to visit that class again. FIELD DAY HELD Thirty cars left the college Tuesday morning for Harvest Ingathering field day. Some of the cars were ready to leave before daylight. They were all parked by numbered stakes on the newly repaired driveway back of the college building so that each person could find his car by its number. The college dining hall co-operated by having breakfast served at 5:45 for those leaving at six o'clock, and lunches were ready for them to take. Many have expressed appreciation for the efforts of Pastors Hay and Burroughs who gave their time helping drill the so- licitors Monday and who went out with some of the groups on Tuesday. The CLOCK TOWER goes to press too early for the report of the returns of the field day, but next week's paper will carry a full account.
