At seven-thirty o'clock when the contest was declared officially ended, it was determined that student enthusiasm had pushed the total of subscrip tions received past the anticipated goal of 4000 by 159 "subs." As this issue goes to press -that total has gone up to more than 4400 subscrip- tions. ELDER DICKSON SPEAKS AT CHURCH SERVICE Elder L. K. Dickson, general vice- president of the General Confer- ence of Seventh-day Adventists, told those in attendance at the church services at the College View church of Seventh-day Adventists, November 26, that "we must not go to sleep with our eyes open." "Traveler, it is later than you think," Elder Dickson warned as he related events pointing to the near- ness of the end of this world. Elder Dickson told of the many trials of the Adventists in China and elsewhere. "But," he concluded, "'My peace I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.'

Readings, music, juggling and a skit made up the entertainment. A number of people in the audi- ence were heard to remark as they were leaving the auditorium that this type of program should be given more often, so as to become better acquainted with the rich and varied talent to be found among the students of Union College. Performers in the talent program were as follows: Delmar Tonge, Teddy O'Blander, Beverly Canine, and William Courtney with Mr. Virgil G. Logan as director, skit; Martha Shelton, marimba solo; Wil- liam Shrake, Delmar Tonge and Darrel Beyer, saxophone trio; Elo- ise Tyrer, reading; Ruth William- son, whistling solo; Hartwick Han- sen, Lyle Anderson, William Shrake and Eris Kier, Cordsmen male quar- tet; Paul Curtis and Edward Den- ny, juggling and sleight of hand; Velma Johnson, Beverly Huffines and Maurita Wymore, with Donna Rae Bidwell as accompanist, violin trio; Dave Evenson, trombone solo; James Bradburn, reading; Lorraine and Hartwick Hansen, vocal duet. Butler Stresses Living and Working for Christ's Return "If people went by the way we act they would see that we do not believe that Jesus is coming again," was the challenge of Mr. Joseph Butler, Union College senior, at the Ministerial Seminar, Friday night, December 2. "When a man believes something, it motivates him to action. If we believed that Jesus is coming again we would be out telling people about it; we would be getting other people to believe it," explained Mr. Butler. Along with his school work, Mr. Butler is pastor of the Grace Allon church of Seventh-day Adventists, colored, located at Twenty-second and "Q" streets. "If we really believed in the sec- ond coming of Christ, we would pray much, pray all night for one soul," continued Mr. Butler. "How For the third year in succession, the women's side came out of the race victorious over their opponents by a very narrow margin. The win- 'ners brought in a total of 1783 "subs" for an average of 7.7 sub- scriptions each. The slightly out- classed men's side turned in 2376 subscriptions, or 5.2 per capita. The women's victory this year gives North Hall permanent possession of the bronze loving cup awarded to the winners of the campaign. The college pep band under the leadership of Dave Evenson opened the rally in the college auditorium with several effervescent tunes, adding much to the spirit of the oc- casion. Merritt Schumann, circula- tion and campaign manager, acted as moderator for the evening, intro- ducing the speakers and keeping the sides posted as to their posi- tions in the race for the cup. Student-Staff Council Lays Plans for Constitution On November 30, the Student- Staff Council met for its regular meeting. Two committees were formed at that meeting..One is to study meth- ods of reporting elections to the stu- dents; the other is working on a constitution for a student associa- tion. The reports of these commit- tees will be made known to the stu- dent body. The members of the Student-Staff council are as follows: Charles Phillips, President Theda O'Blander, Secretary Arnold Nielsen Versa Reed Norma Hopkins Barbara Versaw George Kypridakis many of us have prayed all night for one soul?" "If we truly believed, we would be the happiest people on earth," he concluded. Wilbert Dale Thomas Thompson Charles Davis Dowell Martz Beverly Canine Mr. H. M. Johnson Dr. R. W. Woods Mrs. Blanche Jones Dr. E. B. Ogden Elder L. W. Welch LOWER TUITION VOTED BY COLLEGE BOARD The college board has voted to lower the tuition charge for next year. The tuition this year is thirty per cent lower than before the war, in, terms of dollar value. The reduction next year will make an even greater difference. Due to the decreasing enrollment some changes were necessary in the faculty. However, all department heads were re-elected and a strong- er program is anticipated for next year. Guidance Directors Discuss Student Problems Yesterday afternoon the Person- nel and Guidance Directors from all the Nebraska colleges, private and public, met at Union College to study student personnel and guid- ance activities. The meeting was called by Don D. Twiford, state director of the Division of Guidance Service. At 1:30 the group made a tour of the college campus. The program, beginning • at 2:30, consisted of the following: Dr. E. B. Ogden explained the philosophy and aims of Union College. Elder Welch described the personnel organization of the college, and lead the group in an inspection of the office records. The psyschology testing laboratory was presented by Dr. E. M. Cadwallader. M. S. Culver gave an account of the stu- dent campus activities. After the program, the group was invited to a dinner at the college cafeteria. SCHOOL OF NURSING PRESENTS CHAPEL PROGRAM Miss Alice Smith, clinic super- visor of the Union College school of nursing at the Boulder Sanitar- ium, Boulder, Colo., was the leader of the Tuesday and Wed- nesday, Nov. 29, 30, chapel periods. Picture slides portrayed the Boulder campus and' other features of the clinic division. Miss Smith served as the narrator for the pic- tures. Two student nurses also spoke at the meeting. The first speaker, Wayne A. Dunks, spoke on the opportunity for men in the field of nursing. He said, "There are many opportunities of advance- ment for the male nurse in admin- istrative . � capacities, and there is an acute shortage of laboratory and X-ray technicians. Miss Ellen McCormick, the sec- ond speaker spoke on, "Why I chose the Union College school of nursing." "In the Union College course the curriculum is so de- signed that a student is permitted to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing, and has a choice of 30 fields for minors„ In addition to this graduates have the privilege of reciprocity in all of the .states.- Professor Fowler Says "Plan Now For Heaven" "If we lose out eternally it will no doubt be over a few small things," commented Ray W. Fow- ler, professor of business adminis- tration at the vesper service, De- cember 2. Professor Fowler continued by asking his audience if they could imagine anyone smoking, grum- bling about their food or neigh- bors, or chewing gum in heaven. He pointed out that there were many things that people do not expect to see in heaven, yet some who are supposedly planning to go to heaven do those things here on earth. "A heavenly character must be acquired on earth or it will not be acquired," he continued. "Heaven would certainly be a dead place for some people. Those who are not ready to go to heaven would .be very miserable there. "When, Oh, when are we going to be ready to be transported," Professor Fowler pleaded. "Let us prepare in dead earnest to get ready to go to that Home." Professors Fowler, Dick, and Ogden with Elder Fattic and President Woods lead the seniors to the gymnasium for recognition rites. G. R. Fattic, educational director of the Central Union conference of Seventh-day Adventists at the Un- ion college senior recognition serv- ice. Elder Fattic said "The world is socially adrift, politically at sea, and economically bankrupt. If you mean to be true to yourselves, seize every possible passing opportunity to get ready to live in these times. "Wisdom and knowledge is as- surance of stability in your times. "In this world in which we live we are allowed the privilege of choice. No power can force that choice. Only the will within you determines your decisions between good and evil," he concluded. The class was presented by Dr. Edwin B. Ogden, dean of the col- lege. Recognition was given by President Robert W. Woods. Other participants were Dr. E. N. Dick and Prof. R. W. Fowler, class sponsors. Students Perform in The theme of this year's cam- paign was based on the proverbial Talent Program race between the hare and the tor- toise. At the beginning of the rally, the leader of the hares, Barbara .`Bunny" Murphy, and the tortoise leader Max Torkelsen, each ex- pressed implicit confidence in their teammates' ability to put their side over the top. Also on hand to offer encouragement to both sides were Mr. William H. Taylor, CLOCK TOWER facility sponsor, and Jack Jester, president and business man- ager. Those working for prizes were re- quired to have all of their subs in before three. o'clock so the prizes could be awarded at the evening program. Winner of the first prize, a handsomely tailored suit of clothes, was the leader of the men's side, Max Torkelsen, who sent out about 500 letters for the fifty-five "subs" he brought in. Charlie Barr came in second with a total of thirty-six "subs" to win a General Electric alarm clock radio in a gleaming ivory plastic case. Thirty- one "subs" won a $25.00 sport jacket for Derryl Ogden. A pair of Chica- go roller skates went to Beverly Backlund as fourth place winner with twenty-three subscriptions. Bill Goble won a Wilson tennis racket as his reward for bringing in eighteen subs." Honorable men- tion should go to Mr. Taylor for bringing in the most among the faculty, having a total of seventeen subscriptions. Honorable mention should also go to the more than 600 students who brought in four or more subscriptions, and who were rewarded with an extra day of va- cation at Thanksgiving time. Union Seniors Told World Adrift, Al Sea One hundred forty-nine members of the class of 1950 heard Elder .ocolitzgEat. An appreciative academy audi- ence gathered in the main auditori- um of Engel Hall on November 30 to listen to a program presented by a group of students from the music department. The numbers were as follows: Piano solo, "Toccata," Florence Bernhardt; Trumpet solo, "Corona- tion March," Kay Dixon; Vocal solo, Jack Christensen; Piano solo, "Punch," Richard Randolph; Clari- net solo, "Clarinet polka," Bill Shrake; Vocal solo, "Donkey Sere- nade," Don Carlson; Vocal solo, "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning," Merritt Schumann. This program was under the di- rection of Miss Rosella Reiner. During the week end of Decem- ber 2-4, the Ambassador's male quartet and Mr. and Mrs. Harlyn Abel presented programs at Shey- enne River and Plain View Acade- mies in North and South Dakota. Mrs. Abel presented an organ re- cital and the quartet, composed of Lyle Jewell, Don Carlson, Harold Lickey, and Lowell Barger, present- ed several selections. In the University Coliseum on December 11 at 3 o'clock p.m. a chorus of 600 voices and a 100-piece orchestra under the direction of Dr. Arthur Westbrook, head of the Ne- braska University school of music, will present Handel's Messiah. The bass solo work will be done by Professor Harlyn P. Abel. Pro- fessor Abel, head of the Union Col- lege music department, has for the past two years been soloist with combined Chicago Choruses in their yearly presentation of the Messiah under the direction of the. musical director of The American Opera Company. Professor Abel's solos are: "But Who May Abide?", "Thus Saith the Lord", "Why De the Nations So Furiously Rage?" The Unionite band of eighteen members from grades four to eight presented a musical program at the Home and School meeting on De- cember 5. Some of the selections were: "Star Spangled Banner," "Yankee Doo- dle," and "Little Brown Jug." There were also some solos and duets ren- dered by members of the group. This band is under the direction of Miss Kathleen Dixon. The Academy and Intermediate band will organize Tuesday night, December 6. This band is prepara- tory work for playing in the college band. DEPARTMENTAL NEWS NOTES The Department of Language is offering a new course that is being heartily indorsed by its students. It is Latin and Greek etymology. This course is primarily for students who are seeking a greater understanding of the scientific and technical words that abound in the sciences. The course is a study of the basic roots underlying scientific terminology and word formation. This will prove to be a great help to pre-meds, bi- ologists, and their brothers of sci- ence, because the large amount Of terminology in their fields is de- rived from either Latin or Greek. There is something new in the chemistry department. About the middle of last year, the water dis- tiller in the chemistry department broke down. This caused a great inconvenience as distilled water is absolutely necessary to the labora- tory work of all courses. Approxi- mately fifty gallons of water are used a week. During the time that the old still was out of service it was necessary to buy distilled water from the Lincoln Drug Co. at the rate of 20 cents a gallon. This be- came very expensive and trouble- some. At the beginning of this school year the department purchased a new 220 volt Barnsterd Automatic Electric still for $160. This still is capable of distilling one and one- half gallons of water per hour, which is altogether adequate for departmental needs. The apparatus is heavy duty, designed to remove the sludge and resist the corrosion of hard water. It is interesting to note that it was necessary to obtain a license from the U.S. Treasury Department certifying that the still will be used on nothing but water. A class of twenty-five budding radio announcers had the good for- tune of visiting radio stations KOLN and KFOR Friday after- noon, December 2. The class saw just how a program is "aired" from both the listeners' and radio engi- neers' viewpoints. Both stations' of- ficials were very congenial and ex- plained how radio programs are, aired, from the disk-jockey to the net-work hookups. Thursday, they plan on a trip to Omaha to see hoth the televi- sion stations there. The stations are KM-TV and WOW-TV. Televi- sion has many technical difficulties, such as scene setting, difference in advertising, and the necessary mov- ing of the cameras for close ups and distant shots. The class will have the privilege of seeing the stations in action.

I'll take a walk with Memory adown the golden years, Around old Union's campus fair which passing time endears— The chapel where in reverence we listened to the Word, The classrooms where we made mistakes which really were absurd, The paths that led to sheltered nooks for quiet reverie made, The trees that were so generous with shielding leaf and shade. I'll see again the faces bright that smiled there long ago, And feel again the clasp of hands that schoolmates used to know. I'll live again the hopes and dreams that led me onward then— Dreams of the place that I should fill among high, chosen men. Forgetting that still unfulfilled those hopes and memories are, Within my quiet student's room I'll view the vesper star, Which, after sunset glories fade, shines in the darkening sky To tell of things that shall not pass, of good that shall not die. But how shall all this miracle of memory be wrought? How shall a resurrection come to buried dream and thought? Not by a conjurer's magic stroke or touch of fairy hand— Just take and read a CLOCK TowER through, and you will under- stand. � —EUGENE ROWELL SLOW DOWN! By DAN TOWNSEND You are charged with manslaughter, but you know that the charge should be murder! You knew you were driving too fast through the school grounds, and you just couldn't stop on the loose cinders when the little grade school boy ran across the road. You killed him with your careless driving! How would you like to be in a situation like this? Some of our students and faculty seem to be asking for it by exceeding the 15 mile per hour speed limit on our campus. Many of us brag that we have to learn the hard way, but let's not take the innocent life of one of our children to prove our boast. Remember, any addle-brained individual can op: erate an automobile, but only a thinking person can operate one safely. .1=.04=1. 141M1.04M1•01.11,4•Er0.”••• Fountain Service Breakfast Lunch Dinner Sandwiches The RIGHT ploce is— GIAT-N-NIBBLE across from campus VIIMO.04M1.1.1.1).041=1,114M.1.1 .1.1••••ii4M1.01••••1-100. 1111.4 WE RECOMMEND IT'S AN IMPROVEMENT IT'S LONG-WEARING Hazen Shoe Service 3833 S. 48th St. 4a4itiona44 gpeahlaf By LOIS JAYNES Not to be outdone by the feminine side, many male Unionites are very fashion wise with corduroy, plaid, and bright colors taking the lime light in popularity for the winter season. Considered "tops" for school wear these chilly days are wool shirts in bright colors. Art Quance may be seen hurrying from class to class in a grey and red plaid one. Delmar Tonge sports a bright red shirt, and also owns a navy blue one. Corduroy made into tailored shirts and jackets come under the classification as "sharp." For both school and dress corduroy is smart looking and practi- cal. Jim Stokos' bright maroon shirt is smooth wearing for school, as is George Jenkins' red cord jacket. For dress and school alike, Bill Shrake wears his grey cord jacket. For dressier affairs, Bob Widener's new iridescent suit in blue is something new. Also smart looking for better occasions are white shirts with French cuff links. Howard Engeberg in his white shirt and ruby cuff links is a typical example. We Murk Vold The life and spirit of "old Union" was in doubt some seventy-two hours before the closing of the CLOCK TOWER campaign. Nevertheless, all such fears were dispelled as the remaining hours of the cam- paign drew to an end. It was inspiring to see the enthusiasm that seized the student body as the two sides rallied for their final efforts towards winning the campaign for their respective groups. Many thought that a goal of 4000 subscriptions was too high since that was the goal last year and this year we have some 200 less students. Not so for "Old Union," however. We never doubted for an instant that the majority of you, as students, would do your part in the CLocK TOWER campaign. The work put forth by the leaders, students, friends in the field, and faculty members who support- ed the CLocic TOWER in this recent and perhaps most outstanding campaign of Union College was appreci- ated by each individual on our staff. We know that you, as fellow members and supporters of our college, shall continue to give us your aid and cooperation. We also know that you will understand the difficulties encoun- tered in the editing of our paper since we find it nec- essary to combine within the pages of the CLocic TOWER, material that must not only be interesting to the student body but also to our readers in the field. If at any time some of you as students, or as subscribers in the field, have comments or suggestions we would ask that you send them to us for our consideration. The few members of our staff that are assigned to look after the various portions of the CLOCK TOWER can by no means cover everything adequately. However, if each student and supporter of our school paper can feel his or her responsibility toward the publishing of a better CLocic TOWER, we can edit a paper that will surpass all others in "old Union's" history. We have just accomplished a feat in our campaign that many feared would not be possible, so why couldn't we do the same in producing a better CLocic TowER? Give us the same support you have just manifested in our re- cent campaign and you will see the lights of "old Union" burning brighter as the CLocic TowER goes forth from her doors as rays of light to all corners of the globe. � D.W. &rm.

They devel- oped team work and accuracy to such an extent that their opponents could hardly break their winning streak. In their opener they easily defeated the Bulldogs 2 to 0 de- spite the effort of Norman Harvey to pull his team together. Two, four, five. Where is the sixth member of the faculty team? Oh! Here comes Dean Culver now. All right, everything is in readiness. Let's go! This was the introduction to the game played between the Faculty and the '49ers. The Faculty team, confident in its past undefeated rec- ord, began to wonder why they could not offer any more resistance. They had to accept a 15 to 0 defeat. However, in the succeeding game the tide seemed to turn and the '49ers were surprised to find them- selves the victims of a 15 to 3 score in favor of that same faculty team. The third game broke the tie be- tween the two contestants as the '49ers won a close 15 to 13 decision to defeat the Faculty for the first time in many a year. In the second .round of sets the perfect organization of the Mo- hawks was again evident as they shut out the Wills 2 to 0, making a perfect record 'for themselves so far. Vipon vs. Delay were games that went by quickly, but plenty of ac- tion can be packed in little bundles. The first two games were split even, and the deciding third game was to be played. It always is hard when each team has won a game and the regulations say, "play it out." This time it was the happy fellows of the Delay team that received the con- gratulations. Before succumbing to Delay the Viponds had also lost another set of games to the '49ers. The games were close but not quite close enough, and the Viponds after los- ing two straight games, are virtually in the cellar, except for the Denny team which has forfeited all games thus far. The undefeated Stanford team then showed their smooth operation as they defeated the Wills 2 to 0 for their second victory of the eve- ning, making a total of three unde- feated teams in the league. The last games of the evening were: Bulldogs vs. Seminals which was won by the former with a score of 2 to 0, and Seminals vs. Denny which the latter team forfeited. "Their Finest Hour" Displayed in Union College Library Union College library has ar- ranged to show THEIR FINEST HOUR, an exhibition based on the early years of World War II when Britain stood alone against Nazi Germany. THEIR FINEST HOUR was prepared by the editors of Life magazine, in connection with the publication of Winston Church- hill's second volume of war mem- oirs, it is announced by Miss Floda Smith, Union College librarian. It is the last months of 1940 that are vividly portrayed in THEIR FINEST HOUR. First, the Inva- sion Threat: a number of exhibi- tion panels are devoted to this phase, and show an invasion plan and the counter-measures under- taken by Britain. Part Two of the exhibition is concerned with The Battle of Britain and the efforts of British airmen who with their small Spitfires defeated the German air armada. Part Three deals with the Blitz. Indiscriminate mass air at- tacks began on London and spread to other cities. The great fire of London caused by the incendiary attack, December 29, 1940 and the raid on Coventry are portrayed on the photo panels. The many moving and dramatic photographs are supplemented by reproductions of drawings and paintings. The text is composed from Mr. Churchill's great war speeches. This exhibition will be on dis- play until December 10. WATCH REPAIRING JAMES BUCKLEY Qualified Workman with MORSE Opposite South Hall KAPPA THETA The ladies club of North Hall has been functioning very successfully this year.

It is guaranteed things will really be popping ( backbones, clavicles, and neckbones) because of our vivacious president, Penny Gibson. Officers elected were: President—Penny Gibson Vice-President — Lyndal Woicin- ski Sec'y-reporter—Adeline Germann Treasurer—Shirley Duren Meetings are to be held in the gym Sunday nights after girls' wor- ship. If you have not as yet joined our club, we welcome you with open arms and outstretched mats. The Tumbling Club plans to be one of the most active clubs on the campus, in more ways than one. We have great plans for the future. AGRICULTURE CLUB Tuesday evening, November 15, the Ag Club brought to the Union College campus, "Potatoes Unlimit- ed" featuring Bob Burns. The film contrasted two ways in which one might produce potatoes. Bob dem- onstrated the methods of the lazy farmer. The more profitable method set forth by modern science from years of experience and experiment- ing as agriculture is becoming more specialized. It is the purpose of the Ag Club to bring such interesting and educational topics to you who are interested in agriculture. Do not forget the next appointment with your Ag.

Some of the young men of the neighbor- hood were invited so the junior boys wouldn't feel lonesome. The students reported that the games were lively, the refreshments won- derful, and the host and hostess lots of fun so it must have been a won- derful evening. While the juniors were at the party the sophomores had a party of their own in the form of a taffy pull. Barbara Martin made the taffy and it pulled just right. Table games and community singing made the evening an enjoy- able one. * The Amateur Hour put on by the Young Peoples' Society was enjoyed by those who were privileged to at- tend. A visitor from Union College, Ruth Williamson, won first prize in the serious section for her whistling solo. Betty Jo Jordan and Mr. You- mans won first prize in the light vein section for their rendition of "When You and I Were Young." * Ellen McCormick and Wayne_ Dunks are on another publicity trip with Miss Alice Smith. They were at Union College recently. Alumni Give Sign to College A concrete identification sign reading"Union College,"erected by the Nebraska chapter of the Union College Alumni Association, has just been finished. Passers-by can now look across the college campus with the several big red brick buildings in the back- ground and know that it is Union College. Previously they had to ask someone or go on without having their curiosity satisfied. Mr. James Anderson, president of the Nebraska chapter, and June Nickle, secretary, have played a ma- jor part in raising the money and getting the project under way. The cost was over $300.00. Built under the supervision of Mr. C. C. Jarrett, superintendent of the maintenance department of the col- lege, the sign is located in front of the administration building, mid- way between the rock pile and 48th street. The twenty-inch letters are supported by a concrete base, which forms a seat. • The sign that the Nebraska Alumni Association gave to the college faces 48th Street.
