CLUB DISCUSSES ADVENT HISTORY Movement Began in Old World Declares Harold Lincoln in Historical Society MILLER'S LIFE TRACED Study of Prophecies Led American Ad- ventist Pioneer to Believe in the Soon Coming Christ "The Advent Movement," said Mr. Lincoln in Historical Society Wednes- day evening, ''did not begin in America but in the Old World. - At the beginning of the nineteenth, century many people began to study the prophecies in Eng- land. The books of Daniel and Revela- tion received the most attention. Mede, Petersen, and Newton were some of the outstanding leaders in England. Next to America, Adventism had its greatest de- velopment in Great Britain. One of the most popular speakers in England on the second coming of Christ was Ed- ward Irving. Tickets were sold out six weeks ahead of his appearance in Lon- don. He organized a little band to study the prophecies, and it wasn't long till literature announcing Christ's return was printed and scattered far and wide. Not only in England, but also in other countries the Advent Movement spread. In Holland Hentzepeter was the leader, and in the Scandinavian countries small children were preaching. Joseph Wolfe began his work in Asia. He visited near- ly all of the European states as well as the Asiatic. Mr. Lincoln said that no other person has preached concern- ing Christ's second coming over such a large area. The work in America was pioneered by William Miller. He was born at Uits- field, Massachusetts, February 15, 1782. He was brought up in a religious home and developed a good character. After serving his country with a captain's com- mission in the war of 1612, he settled down on a two hundred acre farm in Low Hampton, New York. It wasn't long till he was reading sermons in the Baptist church. Soon he began to study the prophecies and came to the conclusion that Christ would come in 1843. Later he met Josiah Litch and Joshua V. Himes. These three men began to publish literature on the subject, and the adherents of Adventism steadily grew. The Adventists began to separate from other churches, and the end of the world was set to come October 22, 1844. Hundreds preached about it, and all earthly preparations were made. Then the disappointment came. The Adventists were ridiculed by their former friends. Many of them went back to their old churcheS, but Miller remained firm. On December 20, 1849, he died at the age of 68, after he had accomplished much in fostering the Advent Movement. Term Papers Are Disagreeable to Procrastinators BY GRACE SHAFFER "Term paper—what a significance there is in that phrase. I almost wish it had never been invented. But the idea seems quite popular around Union Col- lege at present—among the teachers es- pecially. And there is such a difference between students, too. They rush about with a preoccupied air, not seeming to notice the commonplace things about them. The library has become a place of "strictly business" during those vacant periods which afore time were largely idled away. Why do I know so much about it? Well, you see, I too, am one of those last minute people with a "term paper" of three thousand words to be submitted by Friday. And the sad part of the story is that it is just now in the first stages of formation. No, surely I haven't pro- crastinated. The assignment was only given us on the first day of school. I have been waiting for a more conven- ient time to write it. "There's plenty of time yet," I would say to myself when we were gently reminded in class that it was time to get busy and do things. But now the time is almost gone. Twenty-four hours make up the day as they did before. Other teachers are even less merciful than they were in the be- ginning; so I have resolved never again to postpone my work. I shall do as all of this year's belated Christmas shoppers will do next year—"shop early and avoid the rush." But alas, this perfectly good resolution is not helping me now. Fifty-five Orphans Attend Sunshine Band Program Although the children at the state or- phanage have been having an epidemic of influenza, fifty-five of them attended the program given by the Sunshine Band, in the large parlor of White Hall. Sigrid Olson led in singing a number of songs, with Irene Ortner at the piano. That the children enjoy the programs is evidenced by the way in which they sing the songs from week to week. Their favorites are -Smile and Be Cheery" and -L-o-v-e Song. - Madge Rosenthal told a story bringing out a timely lesson, and as the group left, the children were call- ing, "Hurry and come again." We have in Union College a profes- sor who teaches that we should be both intellectually and spiritually educated, and who is an example of that kind of education. I speak of Professor H. K. Schilling of the Physics and Mathema- tics Department. I have just come from an interview with him and I shall en- deavor in my way to tell you what he told me as only a man like him could say it. Because Professor Schilling is a valu- able man and would be recognized as such in other places, I asked him why it was that he continued to teach in Union College. His answer was simply this, "Because I believe in Christian ed- ucation, which means that education should include spiritual as well as intel- lectual values." In just that sentence is reflected the character of the man that I admire as a physics teacher. When I asked my next question he chuckled. "My ambition is, first of all, to become a good teacher, and second, to become a good scientist. My honest ambition is to train and help produce Christian Scholars with emphasis both on Christian and Scholar. "I'm dreaming of the day when one of my students will become a great phy- sicist who will at the same time retain his Christianity. Some people think it can't be done. But why not? I would like to see the day when there would be among us, physicists who are con- spicuous in the scientific world and at the same time known to be religious leaders, as is the case for instance with Unterseher and Bietz Are Speakers at Seminar DEVICE INTRODUCED Melvin Oss Relates First Impressions and Experiences of Workers The new goal devices for Sabbath School attendance, lesson study, and of- fering were explained by Joe Tucker, superintendent, last Sabbath morning. The device takes the form of a picture representing a temple to Buddah in China. There is also a chart on which will be recorded the comparative standing of the boys' and girls' classes. Mr. Melvin Oss, who has spent several years as a missionary in India, told of his first impressions upon entering China when he attended the Far Eastern Divis- ion Council. Mr. Oss, dressed in the native Chinese costume, related some of the experiences as told by members of the Council, of the work in China. He told of the time when one of the mission compounds was threatened by the Chin- ese bandits. As Sabbath school opened Ruth John- son played a piano prelude and Joe Tuck- er read the scripture lesson and led in prayer. A quartet composed of Dale Strawn, Chester Wickwire, Robert Brown, and Robert Heine sang as a spec- ial number "Riches of Love." At seminar, Friday evening, the pro- gram was presented by the boys under the chairmanship of James Gaitens. Wes- ley Unterseher spoke on the text, "I am the true vine and my Father in Heaven is the husbandman." Christian fruitfulness consists of a visible exhibition of Chris- tion principle and Christian feeling. Dis- honor to God comes from bearing bad fruit. We must cultivate our Christian experience. A practical religion Is neces- sary. Arthur Bietz spoke on I Cor. 15:58: "We are living in a puzzled age," he said. "All the major problems of the world are a puzzle to humanity." Paul said, "Be ye steadfast." Bible study helps to build Christian character. Paul is an example of steadfastness; he withstood temptation and stood for God until the end. Christ is our best example and should be our only ideal. Illustrated Lecture is Given in Spanish Club An illustrated lecture on South Amer- ica was given by Professor Rufus Roy, a missionary on furlough from that country, at the last meeting of the Span- ish club held January 11. The scenes were principally from the Lake Titicaca region, and showed the natives at work, scenes in the market places, and our mis- sion headquarters. Pictures of outdoor restaurants, sail-boats, the distinctive South American costumes formed a marked contrast to scenes of a more mod- ern civilization such as automobiles, tele- phone poles, and modern store buildings. Dr. Kelly of Johns Hopkins University. He is one of the most famous surgeons of the world and at the same time is known far and wide as a religious leader." When I asked him about the experi- ment that he is performing as work on his doctor's degree this is about the story he told me. "Matter is found in three states: gase- ous, liquid and solid. A true solid has a definite melting point, i. e. temperature at which it turns into a liquid. Vice versa, if the temperature of a liquid drops to this same melting point it will solidify or freeze. Now, the ultimate object of my research is to add to our knowledge of this solidifying process. Just what is it that happens in liquids at the freezing point to transform them into solids? In the liquid state matter is very much more mobile than it is in the solid state. Liquids flow much more easily. They assume the shape of their containers. Solids have and retain their own shape. In liquids the molecules are fairly free to move about haphazardly, because they are bound to neighboring molecules only very loosely. In solids, on the other hand, these neighbors are fixed to each other by very strong bonds. In liquids these neighbors do not remain orientated with respect to each other in any definite way for any appreciable length of time. The curious fact about true solids, however, is that their atoms are all arrayed sys- tematically in a so-called crystal lattice. Everybody has seen interesting crystal formations. Most people apparently do no (Continued on page two.) CHALLENGE OF CROSS PRESENTED IN M. V. True Humility Is Shown to be the Test of Discipleship In Young People's Meeting Friday night Mrs. Lauda sang a song of the cross. Following that "The Challenge of the Cross" was presented by seven girls. Evangel, portrayed by Dorothy Ault- father, was a messenger from heaven, seeking disciples of the cross. The first to respond was Sophia Van Buskirk. When she was offered a cross, she re- fused to take it because she was looking for ease and pleasure. The second to come forward was Florence Lucille Terry. She also refused her cross be- cause it was too clumsy and heavy, and she was looking for one that would be suitable to her circumstances and posi- tion. The third follower was Freda Myr- tle Fullerton, who wanted to worship the cross instead of serving it. Hazel Heinz- man was willing to carry her cross but she wanted it to be unknown. Sally McCormack was a proud Pharisee and wished to carry her cross merely to be seen and admired. The last one to ac- cept the invitation was Ermina Powell. She offered herself in true humility and though she was given the most rugged cross of all, she took it. As she knelt in prayer seeking divine aid, the choir sang. During the song the other five, who at first had so disdainfully refused their crosses, returned and took them up. The sixth disciple arose and they sang "Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken." Donald Hart- well dismissed the meeting with the bene- diction. REPARATIONS AND DEBTS DISCUSSED President Andreasen Explains the Condition Made by Loaning Money During War President Andresen spoke at the Quid- nunc meeting Sunday evening on the sub- ject of "Debt and Reparations." He de- fined a debt as money borrowed, an rep- arations as damages done during the war. At the close of the war Germany made plans to pay back what he had bor- rowed. Later she found herself unable to pay. France had borrowed from England, and other Allied nations had borrowed from the United States. It was agreed that what they received from Germany would be paid on their debt to the United States. In the meantime the United States loaned $2,500,000,000 to Germany. "It looks like a nice little game of ring a- round the rosy." President Hoover has stepped in to suggest that all debts be postponed for one year. The United States and Eng- land have loaned money to Germany on short term loans to the extent of four million dollars. There is a movement in Germany teaching that future generations should not pay for war reparations incurred by a preceding generation. This move- ment is somewhat popular now and it remains to be seen whether they will be in control in the coming election. A short time ago England went off the Gold Standard. Now she does not want to pay her debts in gold but in silver, which will naturally reduce the original value. Will the United States be forced to leave the Gold Standard? Shall we pay our debts in real gold while others pay us in silver of what they owe us? "Let us keep our eyes on Germany," said President Andreasen, "for what hap- pens there will be of interest to everyone. It may be a revolution or the occupa- tion of a portion of Germany by France. We may see a crash such as we have never seen before, which may force the United States to go off the Gold Stand- ard. If not, the United States will prob- ably have to pay the world's debt. - Student Finds It Difficult To Remember This Is 1932 BY PAULINE WICKWIRE 1931 is gone, but with its departure and the entrance of 1932 comes to me the sad realization that old-age is dogging my steps; I am unable to remember that a new year has begun. Seeing that I am fully in my dotage, I plead for some wise master or gentle fairy to teach me (can people in their dotage be taught?) to write 1932 instead of 1931. Nearly everyone recognizes the pre- sent need for general education. Each person realizes that advanced study in any particular type of work will prepare one for advanced positions of responsi- bility. In the past a high school educa- tion was quite generally accepted as be- ing sufficient for almost all occupations, and it was true that the graduate from the high school was fairly well equipped for his life work. But a new day has dawned and is fast approaching its zenith. A high school education is no longer adequate for the ambitious indvidual who hopes to reach the top in his chosen profession, nor is it enough to insure to the recipient an opportunity to prove his merit beside the college graduate. The present type of thinking and planning is on a more sci- entific and analytical plane than it was a few years in the past .More basic knowl- edge of the arts and sciences is required to fit the employer and the employee for their tasks. One of the first questions put to the applicant when seeking a job is "What FRENCH CLUB SINGS NATIONAL ANTHEM Spelldown Finds Participants Alert as Well as Mindful and Capable In the first part of the meeting on Wednesday evening, January 13, Vice- President Wallace Nethery lead the members of the "L'Echo de Paris" in an effort to learn to sing the French national anthem, "La Marseillaise." The voices sounded a bit feeble at first, but confidence increased with practice, and the members feel certain that they can, before long, sing the famous hymn in a manner quite befitting the martial spirit of the music. The remaining part of the time was spent in a spell down; but all of the participants were so mentally alert, and so well versed in the intricacies of French spelling that neither side could be de- clared victor when the time for adjourn- ment arrived. MR. OGDEN REVIEWS SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN Gives Reason for Transfer of Knowledge from Orient to Occident Professor E. B. Ogden of the mathe- matics department reviewed the January number of the Scientific American in cha- pel Wednesday, his chief purpose being to introduce that periodical to some stu- dents who had not discovered that it is as interesting as it is instructive and in- formative. "There is only one article in this is- sue," he declared, "that is not compre- hensibe to the average college freshman. Some of the articles would interest gram- mar grade pupils as well as students of science. An example of this type is a story of a gorilla hunt in the upper Congo. The first article Professor Ogden re- viewed in detail was entitled "What Sci- ence Really Is," by Compton. The trans- fer of the center of scientific knowledge from the Orient to the Occident is the story of the overthrow of abstract logic by an experimental knowledge. The def- inition given for science was "The effort to find out how outside environment works, and how to control it. - Then Mr. Ogden reviewed the work of Mr. Lucas as reported in the Scienti- fic American. The ultra violet microscope, using these shorter light waves will de- tect particles that the longer waves in even the shortest of visible light would pass right over without "seeing." With this new method Mr. Lucas has magni- fied cross sections of metal 9,000 times. At this magnification it is estimated that the visible dots are only 250 . atoms across! Will the advance in this field ever bring the units of the material world into view? degree do you hold?" or "From wha college or university did you graduate?' This question does not indicate that there is no place for the high school gradu- ate; neither does it prove that a college education is worth more than a high school education plus four years of train- ing in your chosen field of endeavor. It merely shows that the college graduate will, on the average, prove himself to be better fitted for a general position and that he can adapt himself to situa- tions more quickly than the person with- out such training. The attitude of the employer which prompts the above ques- tions tends to indicate a preferance for applicants with collegiate degrees. It is reasonable to suppose that the young man or woman who pursues a four year course of training at the mod- ern college or university will receive some direct benefit from such training. The student learns to study through problems and not to be satisfied with a superficial scrutiny or testing. The stu- dent meets and has for his associates while in college a group of instructors who are recognized as students and scholars. These faculty members have spent years in the study of particular subjects or in the solution of certain problems. This fund of knowledge and research data is passed on to the stu- dent, and the student is inspired to seek yet further into the solutions of life's problems. The training and general information acquired while in college stands the stu- dent in good stead when he is later confronted with the more serious and difficult problems of life. He has learned to persevere in his efforts toward a solu- tion, to apply logical methods toward (Continued on page two) Schilling is Interviewed By Dave Eickhoff Advanced Education Necessary By R. T. Larimore ANDREASEN IS CHURCH SPEAKER We Must Walk in Darkness as Well as Light is Warning Given by U. C. President TWO ARE ORDAINED Professors G. C. Jorgensen and E. B. Og- den are Ordained as Elder and Deacon Respectively "Who is among you that feareth Je- hovah, that obeyeth the voice of his servant? He that walketh in darkness, and bath no light, let him trust in the name of Jehovah and rely upon his God." This was the text President Andreasen used as a basis for his sermon Sabbath morning. "Apparently, according to this," said President Andreasen, "there are some who fear the Lord and obey the voice of his servant and walk in the darkness and have no light. There are times when dark days come to the soul of each of us. Darkness came to the soul of Christ when he was on the cross, and he cried, 'My God, why halt thou forsaken me?' He could not forsee his resurrection from the grave, nor the Father's acceptance of His sacrifice.'' The speaker continued by telling of certain prophets and men of God who had passed through hours of darkness. "Paul," he said, "had a thorn in the flesh continually. You can go through the experiences of God's people and you will find that all of them have passed through dark days. Even now we are waiting for the time of Jacob's trouble. There will be days that will try men's souls to the uttermost." Professor Andreasen briefly related the calamities that befell Job, and "yet in all that Job sinned not." He did not know that God was trying him, but nevertheless he stood the test. "God has chosen a people whose souls are to be tried. To them is to come the hour of Jacob's trouble. They will cry out in their distress for deliverance, but Co.-' i. ',h...._ them to stand the test, and they must not fail Him." Following the discourse by President Andreasen an ordination service was held in which Professors G. C. Jorgensen and E. B. Ogden were ordained as elder and deacon respectively. Professor Andreasen gave the consecration prayer. Exploring Book Reviews Found to Be Interesting By JOE CORRIGAN I have never before paid much atten- tion to book reviews. Of course I knew that there were such things, but it never occurred to me that I could have any use for them until a teacher decided the mat- ter for me. After procrastinating as long as was at all wise, I went to the Lincoln City library and one of the city book stores to see what it was all about. Many were the discoveries that I made. At the library I asked the librarian where I could find some good book re- views. After obtaining them, I settled down for what I thought would be a bitter hour. In ten minutes that feeling was past. I changed my mind and spent more than an hour there. I was interested. After spending some time at the library I decided that a book store would be a good place to go. I procured the direc- tions from an officer, and went to one of the stores, which I suppose was the best in the city. There I was allowed to look around and see what I could find. An obliging clerk showed me some re- views put out by some of the larger publishing houses. Of course, many of the books that I had noted were not to be found in this store. Some of the books were sold out, some were not handled, and some had not been received. (Continued on page four) Study Given on Manner of Christ's Second Coming Two Bible studies were given in Lin- coln last Sabbath afternoon. "The Man- ner of Christ's Second Coming" was the subject of the Spanish study given by Bessie McCumsey. The importance of personal preparation for that event was especially stressed. Questions concerning some of the prophecies of Revelation were asked by the readers at the close of the study. The short Spanish song ser- vice which usually precedes the lesson is always entered into heartily by those attending the study. Mrs. Rosendal, of the College View church, presented a Bible study on "The Change of the Sabbath" to a colored woman.

We all have them; so why go around look- ing as though you had lost your last friend? "Oh, .I am not blue," you say, "I am just thinking." Well, why not be yourself, even if you are exercising your cerebrum. Surely there have been times during the semester when you have made a few more synaptic connections than usual; but never before have you looked so dejected. No! Of course, this week of weeks makes one rather nervous and irritable. But why be grouchy? In North hall every week is a week of cheer; therefore, North hall girls just are not unpleasant—and South hall boys should not be. So get that frown—that pseudo-symbol of thought—off your face, and smile. Don't forget in your hustling and concentration on those finals that the worst may be yet to come. Just think what those "exams" might have been had it not been for the mercy of your teachers. "Pack up your troubles in your old brief case, and smile, smile, SMILE." S. V. B. CRITICISM "No matter what you do or how helpful you are you never receive any thanks. There is no appreciation whatsoever around here! Some day a few people will wake up and realize that they have lost some of their best friends!" Such were the expressions resulting from an unhappy experience. The speaker had done all possible to be helpful, but instead of being appreciated he had been critized very severely. This trait of criticizing is all right 4f it is used as a means Jof helping the other person, while on the other hand it is a deadly weapon which cuts deep if it is used in the wrong way. All of us should be very careful how we criticize. Remember there are two kinds of criticism: constructive and destructive. The destructive should never be used, but the constructive should be applied with all the love and kindness that can be mustered for the occasion. —College Criterion.

Determination of way, it is hoped, at least some of the tantalizing mysteries of the process of Students Will crystallization may be solved." He said that the experiment is some- thing new—there is a question that he Bring Success wants to answer that has never been answered before. When asked if his re- sults would be of benefit to either sci- ence or industry he answered that he didn't know that it would be of direct benefit to science or industry. "I work on it," he said, "because I have a belief that it will benefit both. However, my greatest reason is found in my philosophy of life. I am interested in nature and I have a curiosity to know how nature works. The fundamental reason for my research is that it is fun for me to try to find out something about nature for myself. Also, I believe it to be the busi- ness of every teacher of the college level to make an effort to discover new truths to add to the sum total of knowledge. "I think it adds .to the prestige of any college if there goes on in its labora- tories or libraries, original research. I think it is the business of every college in so far as is possible to teach students something of how new truths are dis- covered. Altogether too large a per cent of what students learn comes to them second hand. There ought to be more first hand knowledge, attained by the painstaking methods of original research. Every student ought to learn how to think for himself, how to discover for himself the answers to questions which interest him and which are of importance to him in molding his philosophy and religion. It seems to me that any depart- ment which carries on research is much more likely to reach that goal than one which does not. I know my experiment will be the beginning of a modest but decidedly worthwhile research program in our department, in which students will be glad to take part as we progress. In that respect I think it will benefit Union and my students." "Because some of you will be inter- ested in next year's program I asked him what his plans are for 1932-33. "We plan to offer the two basic courses in Physics and Mathematics we now have and in addition a third course in each held. This third course will be alternated so that by careful planning a student will find it easy to obtain a major in Physics or Mathematics. We will con- tinue offering Analytic Geometry and Calculus together as a second year, ten hour, course. That will make it possible for both Physics and Mathematics to get Calculus in the sophomore year as a preparation for real upper division courses in their Junior and Senior years." Before I left he showed me a book that he had just received—a biography representing twenty-five years of spare time of a man who is interested in sci- ence because he likes it. As I laid the book down Professor Schilling thought aloud, in words about like this: "It would be grand, after twenty-five years of honest work to know that I had really been of benefit to my fellow men, not only because I am a physicist but be- cause I am a Christian Physicist. That is my ambition." ADVANCED EDUCATION NECCESSARY (Continued from page one) the analyzing and classification of the data, and to draw upon the general fund of knowledge compiled by research ex- perts and scholars. He is not expected to retain his book knowledge to any great extent, but he is trained to pick and choose reference works on the prob- lem and to know the correct steps in working toward a solution. All of this is learned during a four year period at a college. The time is approaching when men without a college education will find it increasingly difficult to find employment of a responsible nature. It has been shown in comprehensive surveys that the person holding a degree from a college will on the average earn from fifty to sixty per cent more during his lifetime than the graduate from a high school. It is evident that a college education is becoming an indispensable asset to the youth of today, in fact the individual without such training is usually limited in his choice of vocatons to those of little responsibility and meager remunera- tion. Schools of collegiate rank are offering increasing numbers of courses in business subjects. A very striking development has taken place in recent years in the growth and expansion of the commercial depart- ments in the small liberal arts colleges. As a result of this development many of these colleges have incorporated busi- ness courses. These schools recognize that the best preparation for life in- cludes not only the ample, generous and complete training of the college course— but also—a thorough and definite pro- fessional specialization." Business needs leaders who are broadly trained, not merely narrowly drilled in routine. It needs managers who can look beyond detail to the broader principles as they affect business. On this account, the broader cultural studies are recog- nized as of essential importance. It is interesting to notice the particu- lar reasons for providing courses in busi- ness in these schools, as they are ex- pressed in the school publications. One college expresses its aim in the following language. "Today, the field of business offers more possibilities perhaps than any other profession. It is no longer practical for a young man entering busi- ness to learn the principles of business and the routine of his calling by beginn- ing in some minor position in a business organization and working his way up. He cannot, while 'engaged in minor duties, study the underlying principles of commerce, finance, and administration. To cope successfully with the problems he meets in his chosen vocation, therefore, the present-day business man should re- ceive collegiate training." Business success depends very largely upon the preparation one has made for his work The study of scientific business principles is becoming more important each year. Competition is growing keen- er, profit margins are decreasing, and haphazard methods of doing busines are almost certain to bring failure. The young person who goes into business without having been trained for leadership will almost certainly find himself in a blind- alley job—one from which he can never hope to advance. The modern business course is in- tended to train leaders for the great army of business people. Students are given training in routine positions but the chief effort is directed toward the goal of lead- ership. The training given is not intended to displace practical experience, but to prepare for it and supplement it, and thus make it more effective. In the past, business knowledge was acquired largely in the slow and wasteful process of ex- perience. It is possible now, however, to give a student technical, liberal, and ethi- cal instruction in business principles and practices which gives the young man or woman staring on a business career a great advantage. "The students of busi- ness courses will be prepared to fit into the business world with a readiness and with an understanding of problems quite impossible to those who have not re- ceived this preliminary training." The dif- ficult demands of business can be met only by men of broad education. Knowl- edge pertaining to the business world is becoming increasingly important. The present condition of business and com- merce brings this statement forcefully to our attention. We have been reading from day to day during the last two years articles intending to explain cur- rent conditions or suggesting a remedy. One type of article has deplored the existing order and has placed the fault upon certain situations. Other writers have proposed sure-cure remedies, and they have probably been exasperated when the world at large did not rush the plan into execution. The general public is greatly in need of an understanding of these conditions. Such an understanding would protect it against false prophets who go about pro- claiming the sureness of future doom to our country unless certain steps are taken immediately. The reader of this propa ganda or the hearer of these talks would do well to analyze the statements made and to separate the wheat from the chaff. A general knowledge of business theory and of the various departments of business, if grasped by the citizens of this country, would do much to lessen the force of the business cycle, to lower the peak of prosperity, and to raise the trough of the depression. Many theories have been advanced which, in the mind of the writer would explain the causes for business fluctuations. An equally large number of remedies have been suggested. Unless the reader can follow the reason- ing of the writer and digest the message as it is presented, he is likely to become confused and uncertain concerning the possible causes and probable remedies for our business ills. A little knowledge may go a long way toward co-ordination of thought and toward the united solution of a precarious situation. There is no doubt in the mind of the writer concerning the statement that many of our banks are closed and their de- positors inconvenienced, if not actually defrauded, because of a lack of business judgment on the part of the banks. Banks are concerns dependent upon unstable and fluctuating business conditions for their security and safety as the trustees of funds for the benefit of the depositors and investors. Unless the banker can Interpret present trends of business ac- curately and forecast future business con- ditions he is not capable of maintaining his funds intact for the safety of his depositors. On the other hand, if the general de- positor understands banking principles and the theory of money, he can inter- pret conditions for himself and not be dependent entirely upon the banker for the safe-keeping of his life's savings. In many instances ignorance on the part of depositors precipitates a run on the bank with a consequent disturbance re- sulting in the closing of a safe and well managed depository. A group of well in- formed depositors working in conjunction with a capable banker would eliminate to a large extent our presen tbanking difficulties with their consequent losses and public misgivings. A reliable authority has made the state- ment that a large percentage of the fail- ures in business result from an inadequate system of accounts. Accounting serves to rationalize business administration; it provides a guide for the administration. It has the function of gathering, record- ing, and interpreting financial information for the management of industry. Any person who has financial dealings with others should be able to keep a simple and convenient record of conditions. The government is insisting upon adequate systems of accounts for tax purposes, and the individual should be satisfied with nothing less than accurate and avail- able financial data. The person or the concern which has acceptable accounting information is not the one which continues in business from period to period suffering a loss with ul- timate bankruptcy and receivership. This does not mean that accounting informa- tion will insure a profit, but that ac- counting data will help the management to guide the ship of industry past the shoals of ignorance and guess planning and into the harbor of desirable profits and continued existence. Cost data is essential to careful mar- keting policies and price setting. Al- though prices are set largely by forces outside the control of the manufacturer, he can guide his productive efforts in lines that will return a profit at the ob- tainable prices only if he knows his costs in each line and the probable future trends in prices and costs. He now enters the field of marketing with its related departments of sellnig and advertising. Every producer, whether he be a manufacturer or a day laborer, is the seller of a product. The laborer sells his labor from day to day or from week to week. The doctor sells his serv- ices; the grocer his products. In order for the seller to receive the most re- turn for his effort, he should understand the simple rules of psychology, and eco- nomics involved in the sale of his pro- duct. It is as foolish to ignore the principles discovered by a study of the human mind and by a study of economic phenomena in the sale of goods as it is to ignore the tides or the wind in sailing a ship. No doubt one can make some headway against wind and tide, but much greater speed with less effort is obtained by per- mitting the tide and the wind to help one when possible. One can readily see the advantages to be derived from the use of carefully planned advertising and well regulated sales campaigns. And it is not necessary to be an expert in all of these various fields of endeavor, because experts can be employed to carry on these campaigns. But the independent dealer or enterpriser is the court of final appeal; this is the captain who makes the final decision and he is the investor who accepts the pos- sibility of loss or gain upon the failure or success of these plans. Therefore, a careful study of the marketing plan along with particular scrutiny of the advertis- ing and selling campaign will repay the individual business man by increased sta- bilist and steady business profits. SCHILLING IS INTERVIEWED (Continued from page one) realize, however, that all solids are crys- talline. If ordinary metals, for instance, are examined with high powered micro- scopes, they will be discovered to have a granular structure. These little grains are beautiful tiny little crystals with more or less definite shapes. These individual crystals are all orderly arrays of atoms. A piece of solid therefore, a crystal, is like a parade in which each atom is as- signed a definite place according to some systematic plan. A drop of water, on the other hand, is like a mob in which there is much pushing, shoving and mill- ing about, where the rule is Everybody for himself. "Now what magic circumstance is it that determines that the members of this disorderly mob, the water drop, at the definite freezing point shall suddenly cease their quarrels and jump into line, all of them leaving exactly the same distances between themselves and their neighbors in such a manner as to simu- late a parade more perfectly ordered than any parade of men ever can be? Further- more, why is it that the atoms in a drop of liquid zinc form a crystal lattice con- sisting of hexagonal prisms when freez- ing occurs, while when lead crystallizes, tiny little cubes are formed? In general, my research has to do with such fas- cinating questions. "The way I go about it to find answers to a few of the many such questions is to grow very large single crystals. I'm making bars and wires of zinc which do not consist of many thousands or mil- lions of tiny crystals of microscopic size, but which consist of one single crystal which can be seen and handled much more easily than smaller ones. In parti- cular, I'm trying to discover just what conditions make possible or impossible There is a text in the Bible that says, "That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven." I cannot believe that two can per- suade God easier than one can. That may be the case with men, but hardly with God. It is rather this, I suppose, that if two agree on anything, they have talked the matter over, weighed the ques- tion carefully and have come to some well thought out conclusion. Also the promise is, that where two or three are gathered together in God's name, He will be there; so that whatever conclusions are arrived at, God will have had a hand in it. If that is the case if two agree on anything, what shall we say if two hun- dred agree? Or four hundred? Four hun- dred young people agreed on making Un- ion a success will not be denied. And here in Union College we have four hundred young people agreed to make Union a bigger and better school in every way. Will they succeed? They will. Nothing good will be denied a group of students determined upon a cer- tain course. And we have such a group here, Union is the name of our College. And Union rightly interprets their spirit of layalty, as they unite work and pray for a better school as well as a larger one. God bless our school. When we see the present body of Union Col- lege students, we thank God and take courage. M. L. ANDREASEN, President, Union College, Lincoln, Nebraska. EXAMINATIONS When upon your desk you look, When you have no study book, When you can't write what you mean. That's examinations! When the teachers say, begin, And you slowly lift your pen, Then you wish you'd studied hard, That's examinations! When the clock ticks on and on, You think that it, you'd like to pawn When the minutes fly so fast, That's examinations! When at last you think you're done And you hand your paper in, When the teacher starts to frown. That's examinations! When you get your paper back, And see you've missed them all. Then you resolve to study hard, That's examinations! —Seargent Leader.

This primitive harp was attributed to Apollo. It was then found that if the strings were stretched over a piece of wood the tone was strengthened. From this to discov- ering what a soundboard would do wasn't far. We have learned much from paintings and sculptures about the Egyptian harps, and ancient harps have been unearthed. Some were as much as six feet high, others though were smaller and were held on the shoulder while being played. These harps had from thirteen to twen- ty-six strings and the pitch was low as there was no adequate sound-board. The lyre is also important. It was con- structed on the same general principles as the harp but was smaller. Plectia as well as fingers were used in playing a lyre. The proportion of sound-board to string length was greater in the lyre than in the harp. The monochord with one string was used in teaching the scale. The psaltery and dulcimer are regard- ed as suggesting the harpischord and its successor, the pianoforte. Strings were stretched over a flat sounding-board. In the psaltery they were set in motion by plucking; in the dulcimer the strings were hit by a mallet. These instruments were probably brought into Europe during the crusades. The Citlara was similar to the psaltery and was probably the first stringed in- strument to have keys. The strings were made of catgut and were set in vibra- tion by quill plectra. The word Clarichord comes from the words, Claris, a key, and chorda, a string. It was suggested by the mono- chord. It had several bridges controlled by the keys and raised at the players' touch. At the end of the key was a tangent (metallic projection) which struck the string and caused it to vibrate. The string was divided in two this way, one part vibrated while the other part was damped. Prior to 1350 sild or gut was used for stringed instruments. After this brass wire came into use. The Clarichord was introduced into England in the fifteenth century. The first Clarichords had strings only for the natural keys. The tangents of the respec- tive keys hit the wire at different places for the half steps. It was not until 1725 that each tone had a separate wire. The first ones also had only twenty keys and only three or four half steps. The tone of the Clarichord was soft, delicate, and responsive. The instrument allowed much expression of feelings. They were about five feet long, two feet wide and five to seven inches deep. They were placed on a table to play. The German instruments had the lower keys black and the upper white. In Italy it was the opposite way. Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach wrote a work called the "Art of Clarichord Play- ing." This is the basis for instruction in key instruments. The last Clarichords were made in 1857 in Stuttgart, Germany. From the psaltery came the idea of hav- ing the strings plucked by quills or pieces of leather projecting from the piece of wood extending upward from the end of the key. There were three instruments which used this idea, namely, the Virgin- al, the Spinet, and the harpsichord. Dy- namic or modulations were impossible on these instruments. In the clarichord it could be increased or decreased and for this reason the Clarichord was held in greater esteem. The harpsichord gave the louder tone. These instruments were called the "Jack" family and were divided into three styles, the same as our modern pianos, viz. the grand shape, the virginal and spinet in the "square" form, and the Claricytherium in the "upright." The vir- ginal succeeded this instrument in the fifteenth century. In England the virginal was oblong while on the continent it was often tri- angular. Queen Elizabeth, Henry VIII and Mary Queen of Scots were skilled players on the virginal. The name virgin- al is rather confusing as it was used for any quilled instruments. One of the stories of the origin of the name is that it was used to accompany hymns sung in the honor of the Virgin. Another was that the virgins most commonly played on them. Because only one degree of loudness was possible the pianoforte was a very welcome innovation because of its possibilities in tone graduation. The Spinet was a great deal smaller than the harpsichord. It had but one key to each string and was placed on a table for playing. The invention of the harpsi- chord came probably near the end of the fifteenth century. Two rows of quills and two wires for each tone were used. The harpsichord had a wooden step which when moved caused the tones to come from one wire only making them much lighter. These instruments were very popular among the middle classes also. We find the following in the diary of Pepys, written at the time of the great London fire when people were fleeing to the Thames. "I observed that hardly one boat in three that had the goods of a house in, but there was a pair of vir- ginals in it." The Ruckers, of Antwerp, were the most celebrated in the making of harpsi- chords. To give the instrument a brighter tone quality they added a third string tuned an octave higher. They also had two key boards and an Italian harpsi- chord is mentioned which had six rows of keys. These harpsichords had stops similar to organ stops. A few Venetian and Spanish harpsi- chords had an attachment which made possible the movement of the keyboard under different strings. In this way with a stop or pedal a composition could be played either at a higher or lower pitch, using the same set of keys. Stein, who later was so successful with the pianoforte, invented a form of harpichord which had a keyboard at each end so that two could play at the same time. This instrument was called -Vis-a-Vis." In 1600 at the production of the first opera and first Oratorio, the harpsichord was the principal instrument used. As the pianoforte was generally accepted it com- pletely took the place of the harpsichord. There is a harpsichord in the art muse- um in New York City, one at Mt. Ver- non, one owned by Chickering, of Bos- ton, one by Knobe of Baltimore, and a few more are in this country. Mr. Steinert of New Haven, Conn., has a collection of seven Clarichords, ten Spinets, and seven Harpsichords. In olden times these instruments were usually ornamented with paintings and sometimes with gems. (To be continued) Bedlam had broken loose in Camp Verde, Texas in 1886. Horses stampeded and mules kicked the slats out of their stalls. Dogs barked, and men tried in vain to restore order in the chaotic sta- bles. The camels were coming, and the Texas mules were uncontrollable from the moment they caught the scent of the new ramy mounts. Cavalrymen whooped, and doughboys were ready to take to the tall cactus at the mere thought of at- tempting to ride the camels that Sec- reary-of-War Jefferson Davis had im- ported for army use. Much of the newly acquired Mexican cession was desert land, unsuitable for travel by horses or mules, and an en- thusiastic quarter-master with his as- sociates had persuaded congress to ap- propriate thirty thousand dollars to im port camels for purposes of transporta- tion and communication in this territory. Numerous uses were predicted for the camel. Some claimed to prefer camel meat to beef, and others suggested using camel's hair instead of wool. One wo- man actually knit a pair of camel's hair socks for President Pierce. A herd of camels was imported for use on planta- tions, and army officers planned to uti- lize the camel's speed for attacks on hostile Indians. Still another foretold the use of camels for sport racing. The prin- cipal uses would be for transportation and communication. But neither the camels nor their train- ers found a welcome in Texas. The sol- diers called the camel saddles instruments of torture, and fairly hated the Arabian trainers, who in their turn were rather scornful of the clumsiness of the soldiers in packing and riding camels. Not a few Americans experienced a feeling sim- ilar to sea-sickness when trying to ride, and there were practically none who could stick on a camel when it started to race. Consequently, the Indians never saw the much dreamed of camel charge. Various experiments showed that with proper handling the camels were well adapted to their new homes. Lieutenant Edward F. Beale in his exploration of Southwest reported the camels as the most docile, easily worked animals in the world. One camel could carry the load of four mules at a greated speed, and for a longer length of time. Less water was necessary, and the camels could get enough food on the desert plants. A camel could make about six- teen miles an hour, but this was no virtue in the eyes of the camel driver, when his mount would decide to take a twenty-five mile ramble after supper and keep the driver up half the night looking for it. Nor did cowmen find the camels successful in their work. As one ranch owner put it, "These sky- scraper mounts are hard to start and harder to stop, and when they are stopped the cattle are scattered far over the range." In spite of difficulties the experiment seemed likely to succeed, but just at that time the Civil War broke out, and the camels were abandoned. They passed from one owner to another, part being sold to circuses, and menageries, and the rest being turned loose in Arizona. Stories are still told of camels haunt- ing certain peaks and canyons, but the last authentic knowledge of the surviv- ors was in Harrisburg, Arizona, in Oc- tober, 1891. Early one morning a camel wandered into the town, and stampeded all the horses and cattle. In order to restore the peace the camel had to be run out of town and shot. The Mex- icans made "jerky" of the meat and sold it at Tyson's Wells, forty-five miles away, as beef. It was re-sold at Harris- burg, and before many hours most of the population required the attention of a physician as a result of eating "camel jerky." Thus ended the last of the camel corps.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Benton enter- tained a group in their home Saturday evening. Games were played, and pop corn and candy were enjoyed by all. Those present included Sophia Van Buskirk, Nell Beem, C. J. Dart, and Clinton von Pohle. The farm boys and their friends and Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Stout went on a skating party, Sunday, January 10. After this exercise they went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stout and were served "a nice hot dinner" as one of the guests reported it. Professor and Mrs. Ledington enter- tained a few of the music students Satur- day evening in honor of Velvah Smouse. Guessing games were played and Pro- fessor Hodgstadt, who is visiting at the Ledington home, read three humorous readings: "I'm a Toothless Old Maid," "Jewish Wedding," and "By the Rule of Contrary." At the close of this group of readings, cocoa, sandwiches, jello, cookies, and whipped cream were served. Those present were Misses Ermina Powell, Velvah Smouse, Jeannette Mc- Kibbin, Willie Dee Wilson, Esther Nel- son, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Baer, Mr. and Mrs. Dick Gibson,and Messrs. Ralph Cash, Clarence Smith, Chester Wickwire, Dale Strawn, Chester Barger, Arthur Beitz, and Wesley Unterseher. Sunday evening, Jan. 3, a group of twenty-five ladies met at the home of Pastor and Mrs. R. T. Baer, 4532 Cal- vert Street, to surprise Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Baer. The group presented them with a beautiful gift. A short pro- gram was also given. Miss Marie Olson entertained at her home Saturday night in honor of her guest, Miss Margaret Haney, of Duluth, Mrs. Christianson entertained six of the students in her home Saturday eye- ing. Georgia Dell Southerland, Hester Mathes, Ruth Schulte, Monte Cheney, Claude Dorman and Dick Eickhoff were those present. Delectable refreshments were served and all departed happy in heart and light in spirits. The academy students welcome Miss Frances Chase as a new member of their senior class. Miss Chase is from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and has spent the first part of the year at Keene, Texas. Mr. Gerald Minchin, editor-in-chief of this periodical, is a victim of the "flu."

President Hoover's financial relief pro- gram moved near completion with adop- tion by the senate of the $2,000,000,000 reconstruction finance corporation bill. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, ninety, resigned as a member of the United States Supreme court. The resignation has been accepted. President Hoover announced the retirement. His state of health made his resignation necessary. Minister of Finance Hermann Dietrich announced that a downward revision would create "a new situation with re- spect to Germany's capacity to pay her World War debts and reparations." On January 14 capital and labor sat around a conference table determined to provide dividends for rail investors and work for unemployed rail men.

Ballots are being printed for an elec- tion that will decide the future of prob- ably the oldest communist colony in America. The colony is the Amana col- ony, near Homestead, Iowa. The ballots will determine whether it will continue to operate as a religious colony on strict- ly communistic principles or will reor- ganize after the manner of modern busi- ness. The Amana colonies include about 26,000 acres of land. The population is about 14,000, and the chief industry, aside from farming, is weaving woolens. Mrs. M. K.

BOOK REVIEWS FOUND INTERESTING (Continued from page one) I never knew before that so many new books were written in three month's time. The reviews I studied were for books of September, October, and November. There were books of all different kinds, from textbooks to fiction. It would take a fair-sized book store just to take care of the books for those three minths. Fiction seems to be outstanding in number printed and amount sold. At the bookstore and Library I learned that the call for new fiction exceeded that for many other of the worth while books. To readers of the leading popular mag- azines many of the titles noted under fiction would not be new, for many of the stories appeared in the popular mag- azines of as far back aS a year ago. For example, I noticed one by an English author which appeared in a magazine of about nine months ago. Books of travel seem to take up a great amount of space in the list. It seems as if everybody that has traveled at all has written a book about it. Towns, coun- tries, peoples, and everything else is des- cribed. Then, there are the guide books. In these days one can find a fairly late guide book for any place of importance to which he might wish to go. Of late I have read a great deal about Russia, especially in the current mag- azines. Natually, when I saw something on that topic I was interested. Most of my time was spent in seeing what there was being said about the Soviet and Karl Marx. I noted about thirteen works on such subjects as the U. S. S. R., communism, and socialism. More than half of these were by Russians, or men of that des- cent. They have written of Red villages, the Marxian theory of state, the foreign relations of the Soviet Republic, and the faults, as well as the good points, of the communistic plan. Bolshevism is both praised and condemned. Perhaps nothing has been so much dis- cussed in the last few months as Russia. Most of the first works that I read were, without doubt, derogatory to the com- mune, but things have apparently chang- ed. According to the book reviews, the late works on the Red question appear to be about evenly devided in the opin- ions they express. The Russians them- selves, following the example of the ex- iled Trotsky, are putting in their pens and expressing themselves. After all, I did not miss the time I spent, and found it a very interesting study. I think I will try exploring book reviews again.
