XVI LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1941 NUMBER 10 College to Buy New Motion Picture Projector Soon Machine Will Be Used For Entertainment and Educational Needs A new committee on Visual education has been appointed from the faculty. Another on purchasing a sound motion picture projector has also been selected. The latter committee is now at work testing difficult snakes of equipment in order to make recommendations to the college for the purchase of a new 16 mm sound motion picture projector. Many types of machines are being con- sidered. Among them are the Bell and Howell, Eastman, Victor Anamatograph, and De Vry brands. It is expected that final arrangements will be completed within a few weeks. Administrators have long felt the need for a projector to be used both for en- tertainment and educational purposes. This need will be filled with the ac- quisition of the new machine. Former Dean Will Teach In The East Dr. H. K. Schilling, head of the physics department here, left recently to join the physics department of the Pennsylvania State college at State College, Pennsyl- vania. This year was Dr. Schilling's eighteenth year at Union college. Dr. H. K. Schilling Besides teaching physics, Dr. Schilling also served the college as academic dean for five years from 1935 to 1939. Dr. E. B. Ogden, head of the mathe- matics department, has taken over the class in general physics, and Mr. A. D. Holmes is teaching the Survey of Physics class. Other arrangements have been made to lighten the teaching load of these two men. Nebraska Educator Stresses Importance Of Self-reliance Dr. G. W. Rosenlof, secretary of the North Central association of colleges and secondary schools spoke during the chapel assembly the morning of January 22.

HAGSTOTZ Continuing the theme of "Publicity for the Third Angel's Message," Dr. Hilda B. Hagstotz, teacher in the English department, told of the plan for student participation in the Contributors' club and Pen league of the "Youths' Instruc- tor" during her talk in chapel Friday morning. Explaining the functions of the two plans, she said, "The Pen league is a yearly competition, whereas the Contiibutors' club is a year-round con- venience." Dr. Hagstotz mentioned the names of those Union college students who had articles published within the last year. "Since last September," she reported, "ten checks have been received for stu- dents of the last two semesters for their articles. Those whose articles have been accepted in the "Instructor" are Ruth Ann Trygg, Kenneth Mayberry, Mrs. Dorothy Bortel, Gladys Pettit, Lois May Shepherdson, Celia Johnson, Margaret Blue, and Dorothy Greene Seymour. Ethel Hartzell, has submitted three poems to the - Instructor, - and all have been accepted. Margaret Blue will have an article appear shortly in "The Little Friend. - Watch for the account of Foxy, a flying squirrel in the Himalaya moun- tains. Mildred Page will have an article appearing in the "Sabbath School Worker, - and Ethel Hartzell a poem in "The Review and Herald." As indicated by the letters received from the editor of the "Instructor," Miss Clement regards with high esteem the work being done by Union college stu- dents, said the speaker. In telling of the Pen league of the periodical, Dr. Hagstotz quoted from the small leaflet of rules of the contest. The closing date is March 25. By that time all articles in the various classe of feature stories, devotional stories, doc- trinal papers, inspirational topics, and poems, must be in. The speaker advised as follows: "The first thing to do is to read the "In- structor" to get the slant of the articles published. You know that if you want a good grade in any class you must do what the teacher wishes you to do. If you wish to have your article publishe" you must write the type of article the editor wants. Two things Miss Clement cautions against particularly. One is calling any race or tribe of people heathen, and the other is attempting present any so-called new light about our message. If you are not attached to an English class at the present time and want to try for the Pen league, select the subject upon which you wish to write; write it, re-write it, and then write some more. Then when you have done the best you possibly can do, hand it to me for criticism. These articles should be in my hands by March 3 to give sufficient time for reading, criticism, and possible re- writing." Individuals who wish may obtain a leaflet of rules from the registrar's office. Medical Corps Men Entertain Guests Present Mascot and Honorary Cadet Captain The Medical Cadet corps members entertained their guests Sunday even- ing, January 19, in the South hall din- ing room. Cadet Captain Crawford, who was the master of ceremonies for the evening, presented the mascot of the Corps, Harold Hampton, Jr., who saluted the captain and the company. A feature of the evening's program was the in- troduction of the Honorary Cadet Cap- tain, Marie Sanders, who with Cadet Major Seitz led the grand march. After a tribute paid to Dean J. M. Howell for his cooperation with the corps, Dean Howell spoke to the com- pany concerning experiences of special interest to the corps. The commander of the Corps, Dr. E. N. Dick, next summarized some of the purposes of the organization and told of his work in organizing others in the various unions. Following this, pictures were shown of the company of men who took training in the Lake union this past fall. The music for the entertainment was furnished by a band, led by Felix Lorenz, Jr., the three trumpeters, Chester Brooks, Robert Groome, and Charles Richardson, and a male quartet com- posed of Paul Kemper, Edward Seitz, Herbert Hohensee, and Harold Hampton. Golden Cords Personnel Already Hard At Work This year marks the golden anniversary of the founding of Union college, and never before has "Golden Cords' been a more expressive term. Every day a group of faithful and tireless students are observing, recording, computing,— these are the staff of the "Golden Cords." Realizing their privilege and their res- ponsibility, the staff have accepted the challenge to create a golden book of memories as epoch-making as the events it commemorates. Heading the business staff is sup- er-salesman James Aitken, the man who still retains the idea that budgets were made to balance. From Kansas (could it be Emporia?) comes Fara Fol- lett, secretary-treasurer. The circulation manager is the well-circulated Gordon Zytkoskee. "Zyt" is often seen jotting down the names of visitors who come on the campus, and someone said that he already had the names of Union's alumni. Ably assisting him are Lois Mae Shepherdson, from Minneapolis and Max Eckert, who hails from Colorado. Quiet Belva Bogs, who boasts of a southern background, is roster editor. The most picturesque task is headed by dap- per Altus Hayes, photographic editor. It would be unthinkable for Altus to walk across the campus without taking his (Continued on page 3) ,PUBLISH THE THIRD ANGEL'S MESSAGE, URGE STUDENTS Walter Crawford, Helen Colby, Mar- garet Blue, and Mary Hindmarsh dis- cussed various phases of the subject, "Publicity for the Third Angel's Mes- sage" in chapel Wednesday. Mr. Crawford called attention to the many types of denominational activity which make good newspaper material. He mentioned in particular the work of the Medical Cadet corps and the activ- ities of certain Dorcas society federa- tions. Helen Colby pointed out the need for producing good material for denomina- tional publications. "Emphasis has been laid upon the need of circulating our pub- lications, but not enough has been said about filling them with high quality ma- terial," she said. Margaret Blue discussed the types of articles acceptable to denominational papers. She urged especially that those who have had some helpful spiritual ex- periences should share them with others, through our papers. "Evangelists should share their plans and ideas for soul- winning by contributing articles to the 'Ministry" magazine," she suggested. Mary Hindmarsh, in discussing "How to write for the press, - said that sen- tences should be short, and that diction should be pure and simple. She stated further that words and expressions used should be intelligible to non-Adventists. Nursing Director of Boulder Speaks Here There should be a hundred nurses where there now is one, said Miss Ge- nevieve Hansen, superintendent of nurses at Boulder sanitarium, when she addressed the students in chapel the morning of January 24. The government needs four thousand nurses by July, and these will be taken from their present positions which will have to be filled by new recruits, she stated. According to Mrs. White's book, "Education," the greatest need in the world today is that of men, men who will be skillful, well-trained and faithful, Miss Hansen continued. The opportunity for serving others is boundless. In new fields no work is so successful as med- ical missionary work in preparing the way for the message of salvation. DR. G. D. HAGSTOTZ ILL Dr. G. D. Hagstotz, of the history department, has been seriously ill at the Veterans' hospital for several weeks. Although he is making satisfactory re- covery, it probably will be some time before he will be able to resume the teaching of his classes. During his illness, his classes are be- ing taught by Dr. E. N. Dick, Mr. F. E. Bresee, Pres. A. H. Rulkoetter, Mr. E. K. Vande Vere, and Mr. G. W. Habenicht. News Correspondent Back From Japan To Speak Here Served Ten Years At Head of Tokio Branch International News James R. Young, recently returned from Tokio, where he had been head of the International News Service bureau in Tokio for ten years, will speak here March 15 at 8:00 o'clock in the chapel under the auspicies of the special events committee. Young is a veteran of thirteen years as foreign correspondent in Far Eastern service. He has been in the newspaper game since 1915. As a boy at the age of twelve, Young got the fever for newspaper work as a printer's devil on a country weekly in Schuyler county, Illinois. His stint also included pushing the papers to the post- office in a wheelbarrow. Then he got the urge to write. His first story was pub- lished in a poultry magazine. It related his impressions of a visit to Quincy, Illinois, and riding an elevator to the sixth floor of the city's tallest building. He subsequently worked on the Balti- more Sun, took a world yacht cruise via Africa with E. W. Scripps and then becaine manager of the Japan "Adver- tiser" in Tokio. During his Far East work, he has interviewed dozens of celebrities and has covered a variety of news stories. Prob- ably the greatest, he believes, was the James R. Young Japanese armed revolt and Military up- rising from February 26th to February 29th, 1936. One of his most difficult as- signments he says, was to get a New Year's greeting message from the Em- peror of Japan. The International News Service writer was one of five correspondents admitted to the Emperor's enthronement. Young, last winter, covered a 9,000 mile air tour of China's war zones and back in Tokio was thrown in prison for 61 days because the authorities were displeased with his articles on Japan's failure in China.

VICIOUS CIRCLE The first month of the new year is now only a memory—a memory of new resolutions, of dreams, of hopes, and of smothered fears. This year we resolved to be more studious, more friendly, and more Christ-like. But we are such creatures of habit that the first thing we know we have broken our resolutions. At eight o'clock on Monday night we find ourselves listening to some favorite radio program. Of course, every few minutes we promise ourselves that we will make up for it 'tomorrow. The next morning when the rising bell rings, we turn over for a few more winks of sleep or else glance over the history lesson we neglected the night before, and the time we had resolved to spend in prayer and Bible study goes by. We rush off to class without holding communion with our heavenly Father, and we go on through the day breaking resolutions. How have you been keeping your resolutions? If you can think of some broken ones, don't become discouraged, but remember that if you are to become what you dream of being you must keep your resolutions today,—not tomorrow. AND DEPARTING LEAVE . . . As I sit up here at my typewriter in the fourth floor room and look out the window, I can see tracks in the snow. Many of them: big ones, little ones, winding paths, straight paths, happy frolicking tracks. I see paths twisting and turning, going around bushes and corners of buildings. I see tracks showing that someone has tried a shortcut and has turned 'back because the snow was too deep and the going too hard. I see others indicating that someone has worked a little harder and plodded on through those same drifts. I wonder whether perhaps God doesn't look down on this world and observe our tracks across the land. I wonder whether He smiles a quiet, contented smile as He sees the "angels" which children have joyfully made in the snow. I wonder whether He grieves as He looks at the tracks of a man who has failed and turned back in despair. Then, perhaps if the man gathers courage and strength and tries again, God will be happy and the angels sing. I wonder whether He is happy when He sees my tracks. VALUE RECEIVED The first semester is over. And more than that, the second semester is well under way. Now comes the chance to make amends for the first semester, which didn't turn out quite like you wanted it to. Now you've "caught on" to what college is, what the teachers expect; you're oriented to college life. Think back on what you did first semester. Oh, yes, you guess you could have kept up on your outside reading so you wouldn't have to do it all at the last. And then you could have read all your history lesson every day so you wouldn't have had 250 pages left to read at eleven p.m. the night before the test which began the next morning at eight. And another thing. It's a lot of fun to visit during study period with your roommate, the fellow next door, or your table neighbor at the library table, but it really "plays hob" with grades and completed-on-time lesson assignments. Buckle down! You don't want to be a quitter. Where's your backbone? Don't let people think you have a rubber backbone. Put some grit in your will and stand up for yourself. Your studies are more important than your recreation. If that weren't so, you wouldn't be here. There is no use in going away from home, running up bills and making yourself study when you "hate books" unless you really value an education. Not a thing in this life comes for nothing; you get what you pay for in direct proportion. U. C. A. NEWS The American history class saw pic- tures of the Civil War and some curios of Mr. Bresee's last week during the class period. Also several students gave stories of Civil War events as they imagined them. The academy girls now have a gym period, which is at 5:00 on Thursday afternoons. Miss Sonnenberg is in charge. They have plans to swim, skate, and play basketball and volleyball. New officers for the Youth's division of the Sabbath school are Everett Shafer, leader; Bertha Mae Jackson, assistant leader; Wayne Ochs, secretary; Elva Pickering, assistant secretary; and Mar- cus Payne and Wayne French, ushers. All students found loitering in the halls after classes are dismissed in the afternoon are in danger of being re- quired to clean rooms, scrub floors, or the like for punishment. The academy business class visited the Lincoln telephone building a few weeks ago. They learned that Lincoln has five automatic dial exchanges and 26,000 telephones. Wendell Graham and Earl Andrews have finished their experiment on white rats with poor or well-balanced diets. The poorly-fed rat gained only three- fourths of an ounce in five weeks, while the other gained one and one-fourth ounces, an average of one-half ounce a week. Frances Chamberlain is a sophomore in the academy this semester. She at- tended Campion last semester. Three boys decided on registration day, January 19, that they wanted to take home economics. Although it is not offered for boys this year, it may be next year. The academy students were entertained by their Sabbath school teachers in the L'ollege View city hall Saturday night, January 25. Mr. Jake Walker was master of ceremonies. (continued from January 15 issue) Ordinarily, current events are easiest to manage as -table talk topics. Unfortunately, however, conver- sation on affairs of the world consists all too frequently in mere shallow, scattered impressions of isolated and apparently unrelated facts, uncolored by any depth or originality of thought, unbolstered by any background of knowledge or experience. The limited significance of even the plain-ta-see happenings in the college com- munity is largely lost in the truly "small" talk about exams, or somebody else's dates, or the food, or some- thing or somebody that someone doesn't like. The foregoing may give some hint as to what might be included in desirable table talk. Certainly, there is no dearth of worthy and appealing subjects (if we get anything out of our education at all—and the three R's are as vital a part of higher education and the imbibing of culture as they are of elementary training), and there should 'be no end of ways to make these subjects interesting (unless our imaginations have been wholly stifled or repressed or crowded out in the ridiculous and unrelenting press of college life). What then is the trouble? Why are our conver- sational wells so dry, or at least so shallow that even a full-grown thought thrown into them bodily will cause scarcely a splash? Perhaps for one thing, mast of us are so little acquainted with each other that we don't know what there is we have in common to talk about. Very well, then. Why not get acquainted? What could be better than to learn the interests and back- ground of those with whom we associate day by day? Likewise well and good. But how to accomplish all this, now? Well, one man has said that the art of conversation is the art of questioning. Another writer has declared that the best way to open a conversation with the average person is to get him to talk about himself. I know that method works. I've seen it work and worked. But yet, some people feel as if they're prying into a person's private life to ask him all the questions necessary to get him to tell about himself, especially if he's bashful or lacks self-confidence and is afraid to talk about himself before a group. And (here I defy the cynics!), 'believe it or not, there are still a number of people in existence who are not blowhards or un- preventable autobiographers. Here is another aspect of the situation. One or two of the group might be ever so zealous in asking questions, but if the others have not interest or strength of mind enough to reply in more than affirmative, negative, or non-belligerent monosyllables such as "Yes," "No," or "Uh," their praisworthy efforts are likely to be in vain, for one can run out of sensible Worth Saving-- THE LOVE THAT LIVES (Note: Due to an unfortunate mistake in copying, one of the important words in this poem was wrong; therefore we are reprinting the entire poem as it should be.) Shed now thy smile; the misty years come faster: A smile is heaven's light, but earth is cold; Break now thy box of precious alabaster; The love that lives is love that's ever told. Give now thy praise, while pulses still are throbbing; The world is weary. Wilt thou joy withhold? Speak kindly now; the dead hear not thy sobbing; The love that lives is love that's ever told. Send now thy flowers, while answering smiles reward thee; A grave is not the place for sparkling gold; Bring now thy gifts, while brightening eyes regard thee; The love that lives is love that's ever told. Fly then, 0 years, and bear us on your flying— The farther on, the deeper joys unfold— On wings of love that knows not tears nor sighing. Bear now that love, the love that's ever told. —Ingebord Nord. LOST: $50. Two days of school. Social privileges (figuratively speak- ing) And a friend.

If we grant, for the sake of the argument, that the question-and-answer method is usually the best conversational technique for our purposes, we must also grant, then, that the most important party to that type of conversation is the one who makes the answers. For instance: Q. You've just been away on a trip, haven't you? A. Yes. What an answer! Think of all that might have been included there—all that the questioner was politely hinting that the answerer tell: where, what for, how long, with whom, what was done, what was seen, etc. But no! The answer is merely a none-too-cheerful "Yes"! Perhaps (if sufficiently fortitudinous) the questioner tries again. Q. Did you see anything interesting? A. No. Nothing much. Probably not the truth, unless the answerer was asleep during the trip or doesn't rate much higher than a moron in intelligence anyway. But, you say, those questions weren't very skillfully put. They could have been worded more specifically, eliminating the possibility of "yes" and "no," or other monosyllabic, answers. Maybe so. Maybe so. But we hate to be too obvious about it all. We'd like to be able to pride ourselves on possessing some degree of diplomacy, at least. We hate to tell the object of our interrogation practically outright that, "The only reason we're asking you these questions, now, is to get you to talk about your- self for purposes of filling out the conversation." Can't we be a little bit more subtle than that? The answer is: No! Not ordinarily, I'm afraid. The dull heads can't be stirred; the loose heads let their loose tongues flap in their wind like a rag in the breeze. Everybody else seems to have given up hope and quit trying. They just eat quick and get out where they can find someone to talk to whom they've known for years. And that's no way to do. It's this large body of people who have given up all hope who can make the best conversations if they only would. By rights, they ought to give the dull heads and the loose heads a break and let them in on a bit of the milk and honey they've been hoarding all these long, furtive periods of hopeless, silent eating. It might be a good idea if the college would offer a course in conversation, covering both phases of the problem—the art of carrying on a conversation, and what to talk about,—and require a certain quantity of words of conversation per student per meal, regardless of how they were put, for a passing grade in the course. Floyd Byers Eva Hallock Willie Still Watches Second semester has brought changes, indeed. I haven't seen Horace for two weeks. No, he didn't flunk Freshman' Composition. Yes, he got his outside reading done in time. I didn't have a chance to ask why he was leaving, so I'll have to write to his grandmother and find out from her. From the looks of things around here, a lot of other people didn't re-register. Jack Holman left too soon. therefore he didn't know about the birthday party given for Professor Anderson in the spread room last Monday. Evelyn Dufloth and Charlotte Anderson are writ- ing enthusiastic letters from Portland, Oregon, about the wonderful climate and atmosphere and elevation, and moun- tains. But there are twenty-six new students here this semester. Some of them are brand new, but others, like Ella May Dyer, Henry Kramer, Herbert Kunsman, and Ardis Aalborg have been here before. In my wanderings I came across one of the CLOCK TOWER editors writing news notes. She mentioned three sleigh- ride parties, but why didn't she enlarge upon the one involving black eyes and knock-outs? As someone said once upon a time over the radio, "People have more fun than anybody." PRAIRIE LOVER By Helen Carpenter Why should I wish anything more beauti- ful than this— Brown velvet stretches to meet the blue sky; Green wheat covers the brown velvet; Huddled hills, like the humps of brown buffalo, rise out of my prairie: Twisted trees, bent with the wind, grow out of my prairie; And a long road reaches to find my white house. I shall not wish anything more beautiful than this.

Does your back ache and your head feel empty? Does your big toe hurt or your stomach pain you? Do you have the gout? If you don't feel good, go right up to the infirmary and get your throat swabbed. Various things are going on. Just to watch the dignified senior class officer being reduced to gasping ignominy is in itself soul-satisfying. Someone is prob- ably sitting in smug silence with a ther- mometer in his mouth. Upon the reading of that thermometer depends whether or not another individual will have op- portunity to apply some of the prin- ciples found in "How to Be Happy Though Ill." But back to throat-swabbing. Here are gathered all classes—the rich and those who have spent their allowances, the timid and the bold, the seniors, and the freshmen. the Great Common Denomina- tor reduces them all. You stand in line. Others ahead lose their calm and gibber and sneeze. At last the situation becomes acute. You find yourself seated. Hundreds of eyes, avid with curiosity, are staring at you. You wonder if, after all, you shouldn't request anesthesia. What if you should choke? What if you should swallow the swab? But here comes the nurse. How can she smile so cheerfully? Doesn't she sense the seriousness of the situation? And those people on the sidelines—how can they chatter so? You feel your usual calm impertur- bability slipping from you. The nurse ad- vances, tongue depressor and swab in hand. It flashes through your mind that your throat really isn't sore any more. You convey the information to the nurse, who greets it with a fresh glint in her eye and keeps on advancing. Hypnotized, you open your mouth. She seizes the opportunity to plunge the swab down your throat and churn it around furiously. Your poise has completely disap- peared. Your face is crimson. You are making strange gagging sounds. You are aware of gesticulating wildly. The, world whirls dizzily. You stand up. You say, "Thank you." You stagger out into the hall. And the nurse, smiling cheerfully, says, "Next."

The parable of the tal- ents indicates that each of us has at least one. "Christ's Object Lessons" points out that all have the talent of time. Following the discussion of this talent is the thought-provoking statement: "Of no other talent will the Lord require a stricter account than of our time." A sentence in "Messages to Young People" reads similarly: "It is a sin to waste time." Jesus was of a sociable nature and did not scorn to take part in friendly gath- erings; but we do not read of His being the center of sparkling wits, or clever jesters. He used every opportunity to turn the thoughts of men to eternal values. His presence radiated cheerful- ness, but He was sober minded. Time was too precious to be spent in useless frivolity. What would happen if Jesus should walk into a Union college party some Saturday evening? Would everyone feel comfortable and at ease? Somehow I believe that many would be glad to see Him, but I think also they would want to change the program quite a bit—at least, for the rest of the evening. Think of the hours and days of time spent by legions of committees in plan- ning parties and programs that merely exhilarate the senses for an hour or two, but do nothing for the progress of God's work on earth. It's strange, too, how much time students can manage to find when parties are to be given, while they have a scant moment only now and then to visit the sick and the poor as Jesus did. There is not the same incen- tive for the latter effort, but the reward is far, far greater. I wish you might have known Miss H--. She taught in the old seminary where I first attended a denominational school. She was not beautiful—on the outside. She had a glorious soul. She wore simple clothes, kept the same coat until the neighbors said it was a shame, ate sparingly, and did the work of three. Every Saturday night she had a party. These entertainments were so interesting that everyone hoped he'd get an invita- tion before long. (She included everyone in school before the year was over.) I wondered what made the students more eager to eat at the home of this plain- looking spinster than anywhere else. After spending an evening with her, I knew. We had a 'plentiful supper on the evening when it was my turn to attend her weekly function. After eating all we could hold of a tasty, home-cooked meal, we sat around tables piled high with scrap-book material, scissors and paste, patterns for jointed animals and card- For a Good Home-Cooked Meal try BUNNEL'S CAFE .

The rest of the evening was spent making scrap-books and jointed animals for the children's hospital in the city. We went back to the dormitory tired but elated to think we'd had a part in some joy-making for little children who suffered. I believe the Master would have felt right at home in a party like that. There would have been no awk- ward pause at His coming. Years have passed since young peo- ple at the seminary learned to ferret out the shut-ins, the old, the sick, and the lonely within at least a ten-mile radius of that school home through the guiding persuasiveness of a godly teacher who put into her daily life the practice of Jesus who "went about doing good." Miss H— has moved two thousand miles away, but the trail she left be- hind her, the influence of her example. can be felt still in that community. A social program that leans definitely toward the encouragement of missionary activities in a far greater degree is what I should like to see at Union college. Such gatherings of our young people would not be characterized by "pride of display, hilarity, and frivolity." They would not be held simply for pleasure which too often kills the interest in spiritual things. They would not ab- sorb hours of priceless time in pay- ment for a silly "whistle." They would be constructive. They would build men and women of strong characters who, like the Waldensians of old, would be ready-schooled to win souls when they left the doors of Union college. It's a sin to waste time. Time is short. Can we not utilize more party- time in such a way that the records of heaven may approve and register real Christian growth? I think we can. "I can" is both shorter and better than "If I could." Failure is like sound; it exists only when some',ody recognizes it. Take a lesson from opportunity and do a limited amount of knocking. Impulse starts things, and either per- sistence or procrastination finishes them. PRUITT BARBER SHOP "If your hair isn't becoming to you, You should be coming to us."

One obtains a review of several interesting books just by walking up the stairs over here, for an the wall are book-made men doing all sorts of things from pushing a baby cart to riding a horse. The rougher side of my nature edges on the "ride 'm cowboy" style, and Cowboy Lingo always interested me. My W.O.S. - (wide open spaces) are the stairs and the reference room. If you'll not tell anybody, I have a complaint to make. It's just like this, I don't see how anyone could expect me to Keep Fit and Like It when I'm prac- tically starving.

I was just getting ready to tell you about my friend Penny Marsh. She isn't around any more. I heard one of the staff members say she was enjoying "increased circulation." But when she is here she's an awfully good nurse, es- pecially when I've failed to keep The Normal Diet and Healthful Living. Of course, one has his deviations from the norm. So when no one is looking I try to slip into the browsing roam to eat the peanuts that one of my secret admirers leaves for me. Please don't breathe a word of it—it's hard enough to get into that place. Versatility is one thing in which I take pride, and just to make sure that I don't lag behind current trends, I'm learning How to Read a Book and How to Play 'Tennis. That reminds me of another item. Are•you worried about a flu epidemic? I've heard a lot about the disease, but after reading Men and Microbes, I'm sure we'll survive. On the chance that I might become ill I'm learning How to Enjoy Ill Health. With so many Men Wanted in this defense program (whatever that is) I suppose we women will have the library to ourselves. The defense I'm worried about is the one against the Silent Enemy. Remember, we'll have to be Hunger Fighters. Well, it's getting late, and I must search for a midnight snack Before the Dawn.

(Continued from page political democracy, and religious free- dom. "This is your world," he declared. "Your aim should be the improvement of self for the purpose of finer service for humanity. Be conscious of the obli- gations of Christian leadership. "There has been and is a continuity in the affairs of man, a golden thread show- ing that God does have a part in men's affairs. Everyone has a part in making this thread, in weaving the warp and woof into the fabric of humanity. "Many a failure results in a man's not realizing his capabilities. All the abil- ity one possesses should be put into one's efforts, otherwise he will not achieve the success he is entitled to. The secret of success in America's early history was the independence of every individual. Self-reliance and self-realization are de- manded still, but they are incapable of expression unless social justice prevails. "The American government, potentially at least, is capable of the finest realization in the life of the individual. Democracy has not ever failed. Failure lies in an in- dividual's attitude toward democracy. "This is your world of political dem- ocracy, of religious freedom.

This was the general opinion expressed by students attending the entertainment in the gymnasium the Saturday night of January 25. From the very first there was not one dull moment. A program planned in advance is almost sure of success when presented. But it is very seldom that a program planned at the last minute will have the success of the one Saturday night. Perhaps it was because every- one entered into the fun so whole- heartedly. Every social gathering is known to have a - life of the party.". The life in this case was furnished by Herman Kicinske and his band. The band's mar- tial air gave to the group just that touch that makes every party a success. The entertainment started out with the most exciting women's basketball game of the year. First the Whites would acquire the lead, then the Blues. For a while it looked as if that white streak, Haziel Clifford, would run away with the game for the Whites. It wasn't until the Blues rallied in the second half by excellent guarding and accurate shoot- ing of Gladys Pettit and Helen Seitz that they won -by a close margin, 25 to 23.

They were accompanied by a piano and two drums. The rest of the evening was given over to marching under the direction of Mr. Holmes, Jim Kiernan and Merril Thay- er. This was where the fine music of the band put some real "zip" into the gath- ering. In between the marches, group games were played and some special at- tractions were given. Felix Lorenz, Jr., twirled his baton to the march, "El Capitan," between the first and second marches, and Ray Cronk and Jim Kier- nan did some gymnastic stunts on the Between the halves twenty-four girls L high bar between the second and third marches. Cronk was to work on the bar alone, but such an ovation went up for Kiernan that he had to come out and do his part. The last game of the first round- robin was played off the night of Jan- uary 11 between Minnesota and Cos- mopolitan with Minnesota "taking the trophy" with a score 39-20. Blumen- shein and Chase were high-point men. Last Saturday night, January 18, Cosmopolitan, however, was compen- sated by winning the first game of the second round-robin from Kansas-Colo- rado by a score 27-21.
