VIII COLLEGE VIEW STATION, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, DECEMBER 21, 1933 No. 7 `ART AND LIFE' LECTURE GIVEN Prof. Cunningham, University of Nebraska, Speaks on Art of Living DENOUNCES MOVIES Speaker Cites Lives of Prominent Men As Being Exemplary of the Life Attitudes Harry F. Cunningham, professor of architecture at the University of Ne- braska, in a lecture on "Art and Life," in the college chapel on the evening of December 9, pointed out as one of the greatest arts the art of living. Artists are not confined to the few who excel in sculpture, painting, mu- sic, or drama, he said, for an artist is one who does some useful thing better than the average individual. Such persons are the ones who have improved standards of living, making the world a more beautiful, pleasant, and interesting place, the speaker said. The three attitudes of life, as Pro- fessor Cunningham sees them, are appreciative, critical, and creative. George Washington, Thomas Jeffer- s;n, and Theodore Roosevelt were cited as examples of those who may properly be called creative artists be- cause they have excelled in living worthwhile lives. During the last few years, he saki, the world has not been guided by artists, for there have been no George Washingtons, Abraham Lincolns, nor Thomas Jeffersons in the political regime. Decrying the tendency of the A- merican people to spend their leisure time at the movies, Professor Cun- ningham suggested the reading of a good book as a most profitable and interesting means of spending an even- ing. "The movies might have been a valuable educational medium," he said, "but instead of that, they appeal to the baser passions, picturing unreal responses tc impossible situations." 0 OAK PARK ACADEMY VISITED President Andreasen made a trip on December 8 to Oak Park academy, Nevada, Iowa. He was accompanied by his daughter, Vesta, and two stu- dents from here, Florence Lucille Terry and Wallace Nethery. President Andreasen spoke in the academy Friday evening and Sabbath afternoon, and had charge of the ser- vice in the Des Moines, Iowa, church Sabbath morning. Miss Terry and Mr. Nethery gave a program of read- ings and music in the academy chapel Saturday night before a large and appreciative audience. Speaker at Girls Club Discusses Art in Home --- Chloe Adams-Sofsky, in a talk at Kappa Theta Wednesday evening, discussed briefly artistic taste in the home, showing pictures in illustration of her remarks. Pictures properly chosen and hung add charm to the home, she said, but the hanging of them is an art in it- self. Highly decorated walls and pic- ture frames detract from the beauty of the picture as do conspicuous cords or wire with which they are hung; furthermore, the cord should not come to a point at the moulding, making a triangle, which is opposed to the rec- tangular lines of the room in an ordin- ary house. "The top of a piano was invented to protect the inside of the instrument, not to be used as a photographer's gallery," Mrs. Sofsky said. "Photo- graphs of a personal nature should not be displayed in the living room unless there is one of special artistic value which may be enjoyed by any one not knowing the person. Religi- ous pictures should be placed in a dignified atmosphere, and should nev- er be hung where only social activ- ities take place. "The size of the wall must be taken into consideration in hanging a pic- ture. A picture that is long vertically should not be placed on a wall that is long horizontally. Pictures reflect one's personality, and should be chos- en with great care. For this reason one should be especially careful in making a gift of a picture." BY QUENTON CHRISTY Colorado and those of us from that state are thankful for "the light upon the hill," Union college. It is the place where we enjoy a Christian edu- cation; and it is the place where the following of the present Colorado con- ference workers were students in other days: Pastor J. J. Nethery, president of the conference, attended school here in 1899-1900; he was one of the col- lege's first sons to go as a missionary, he and Mrs. Nethery being sent to Egypt. E. F. Heim, principal of Cam- pion academy, was graduated B. A. in 1923; Claude F. Lickey, in 1925; G. M. Matthews, in 1928; E. L. Pinge- not, in 1927; A. J. Meiklejohn, in 1925, he also being instructor in Bible in 1927-29; Alger H. Johns, in 1926. On the faculty of Campion acad- emy are found former Union college students: Clarence Stenberg, B. A., STUDENTS GIVE TIME TO MISSIONS Remunerative Activities Carried on During Sacrifice Week Various activities during the Week of Sacrifice at Union have brought in a total of $144.97 to date. More funds are being raised, a final total of which will be published later. North hall girls used their prayer band groups in carrying out their part of the program. They took part in a basketball game in the gym- nasium, made and sold candy, pop- corn balls, pies and novelties, and sacrificed personal belongings to be sold at the auction sale, The auction was held in the admin- istration building December 10, and produced a total of $22. Glenn Mar- coe and Marshall Rockwell acted as auctioneers, and were assisted by Ruth Anderson, Mary Little, Robert Brown, and Beatrice Ross. A wide variety of articles donated by all members of the school was sold to the accompaniment of brisk bidding. Girls who live in the village sold lunches at the "Outside Inn" after the lecture December 9. They received a total of $10.30. They also were part- ners to the dormitory girls in the bas- ketball game. The total above includes the amounts taken up in chapel on Mon- day. The unsociable animal dies out. The most perfect organism is the most sociable.—BixaY. 1929; Lilah Baer, B. A., 1930; Wilbur Essig, B. A., 1931; and Milo Hill, B. A., 1924. Of the church school teachers in Colorado who have aTended Union college are: Rosamond Rice, Arvada, summer_ school student in 1929-31; E. 0. Westermeyer, Boulder, B. A., 1926; Esther Heim, Campion, student in 1924; Glenna Adams, Canon City, Advanced Normal, summer 1933; Henry Deapen, Colorado Springs, Advanced Normal, 1923; Opal Dick- erson, Delta, summer school student in 1927-'30; Lloyd Cowin, principal of Inter-Mountain Junior academy, B. A., 1930; D. V. Cowin, Ft. Collins, B. A., 1927; Carolyn Thorp, Denver, Advanced Normal, 1927; Lura Wil- bourn, Denver, Advanced Normal, 1929; Juanita Paxton, Ft. Collins, stu- dent in 1926-'27, 30-'31; Virginia Corson, Fruita, student in 1930'-31; Elinore Staples, Jaroso, student in RURAL MEETINGS WELL ATTENDED J. H. Nylander and Alfred Vercio Speak on Prophecies in Daniel In spite of the cold weather Dec- ember 10, the two schoolhouse and the Spanish efforts were well attended that evening. J. H. Nylander and Al- fred Vercio explained the image of Daniel 2 in their respective lectures at Arbor and Roca. Donald Pohle spoke on "The Inspiration of the Bible" at the Spanish meeting. Mr. Pohle reports that the two Mexican men who are assisting him installed temporary electric lights with an extention from an adjoining build- ing Sunday evening. These men also have the hall heated and the audience assembled for Mr. Pohle when he arrives. About twenty children are in at- tendance at these meetings, and •to these Mr. Pohle told the story of the child Moses. At the next meeting one of the children is to continue this same story from where the speaker left off. The meetings at both Roca and at Arbor were well received. In these lectures on Daniel 2 the fact was brought out that now is the day of the toes of the image—the very end of time. Every effort for a world kingdom has been frustrated and the only hope today is to be found in the everlasting kingdom of Jesus Christ soon to be established. J. H. Nylander, the speaker at Ar- bor, was handicapped by the failure (Continued on page three) 1932-'33; and Beulah Soper, Vista, student in 1914. But besides being thankful for this school we are loyal to it. We show it by our attendance here. During this year and the 'two years previous we have been the largest state group outside of Nebraska. Since 1924 there have been five such years, and, by the way, we plan to keep the record. A few of the members of the pres- ent Union faculty have had the de- lightful (so they say) experience of working in Colorado. Martha Doris MacElvaine, critic teacher at Union college, taught the seventh and eighth grades at Campion academy during 1926-1930. Dean Pearl Rees taught church school in Boulder and Denver in 1898-1900. Linnie Keith, instructor in English, Union College academy, was the preceptress of the Inter- Mountain academy in 1929-'30. Pro- fessor D. G. Hilts, librarian, was Educational secretary of the Inter- Hanhardt Gives Foreign Origin of Surnames "What's in a name?" was the ques- tion asked by Professor A. M. Han- hardt in chapel Friday, tracing the history and origin of Jewish, French, Scandinavian, and English names. In medieval times people had only one name, which usually expressed some good wish, desire, or motto. These reached a state of absurdity in Puritan names, Professor Hanhardt declared. He further explained that since the eleventh and twelfth centuries patro- nymics gradually became a European custom. These involve the handing down of names from father to son. He gave the examples of Johnson, son of John, and Carlson, son of Carl. Coming down to the modern era, a fixed name began to be used, the speaker stated. Names were also de- rived from a trade. If the father was a tailor his name would become Tay- lor; if he was a blacksmith, his name would become Smith. Other names were derived from the country or town from which men came. In Germany the names of Jews were distributed mechanically by offi- cers of the government, for the Jews dwelling in clans were without sur- names. This accounts for such names as Rosenburg and Morgantheau, which are not of strictly Hebrew origin, the speaker explained. 'He referred curious students who would like to seek out the origin of surnames to several books in the Union college library. SPEECH CLASS IS IN PROGRAM "The Other Wise Man," by Van Dyke Directed by Ivamae Hilts ORCHESTRA PLAYS Martha Doris MacElvaine Reads Part of the Lector; Attendance Large in Chapel Henry Van Dyke's reading "The Other Wise Man" was presented to a crowded audience in the college chapel Saturday night by the De- partment of Speech under the direc- tion of Ivamae Small-Hilts and as- sisted by the college orchestra. Before each scene Martha Doris MacElvaine read the part of lector. The setting of the first scene was in Persia, where Artaban, The Other Wise Man, called in his counsellors to discuss the prophecy of the star that would appear and the sceptor that would come out of Judah. In vain he requested them to go with him in his search for the King. So, selling all his property for three pre- cious jewels to give to the King, he set out alone to follow the star. The second scene showed The Oth- er Wise Man arriving in Babylon where he was to join his friends, the three Magi, on their journey to Jeru- salem to see the King. He was de- layed when he stopped to care for a dying traveler by the wayside, who told Artaban that the King he sought was in Bethlehem and not in Jeru- salem. When Artaban learned that the other Magi had gone on without him, he decided to sell one of his jewels to buy a caravan to take him across the desert alone. The third scene showed a dwelling place in Bethlehem where lived a Jew- ish mother with her babe. When the cruel Roman soldiers came through the town, Artaban gave his second jewel to save the babe from Herod's massacre. The young mother told him that the King he was seeking had left Bethlehem, but still he continued his search, though he had but one jewel left to offer as his gift. After thirty-three years of search- ing, Artaban, an old man, was in Jerusalem at the time of the cruci- fixion. When he heard that the King of the Jews had been crucified, he realized that his long search had been in vain. He gave 'his last jewel, the pearl, to redeem a captive maid, and fell dying to the ground. Then he saw a great light and heard a voice saying, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me," (Continued on page three) Network of Cords Carried by Workers and Teachers Bind Union to Colorado Monta Mountain conference in 1923. Pro- fessor H. K. Schilling, head of the Physics and Mathematics department, taught at Campion academy in 1922- '23. Professor Arthur M. Hanhardt attended the West Denver high school during his sophomore year in 1917-'18, and then moved to Loveland, attend- ing Campion academy the following year. Sufficiently lauded are the climate and mountains of Colorado; we will mention here a different virtue of the state. Although it has a smaller popu- lation than any other state in the Central Union conference, excepting Wyoming and North and South Da- kota, and although its conference or- ganization is the youngest of all, be- ing organized in 1908, Colorado has a larger membership in the Seventh- day Adventist denomination than any other state in this union. Among its 3,636 members are scattered sixty-five churches. Gathered from Colorado's Mountains and Plains Come Her Loyal Sons and Daughters to Become a Part of Union's Happy Family in 1933-1934 BY MARSHALL ROCKWELL Colorado, the gold producing state, the scenic center of the West, the state with the greatest perpendicu- larity per square mile, is also the state with the largest enrolment at Union college, except, of course, Ne- braska. And every Coloradoan at Union is an enthusiastic booster for his state. First, in alphabetical order, is the BARGER trio from Colorado Springs. CURTIS and KENNETH, freshmen, come respectively from the Simla high school and Branson high school. Low- ELL is in the Union College academy. ROBERT BROWN of Boulder, a third year man, is a Campion academy graduate with medical aspirations. The time he can spare from singing and basket-ball he spends administer- ing affairs in the chemistry stockroom. From Las Animas in the southeast corner of the state comes QUENTON CHRISTY, sophomore, rhetoric reader for Mrs. Hilts, and alumnus of Bent County high school. The field of sci- ence and mathematics presents en- ticements for Mr. Christy. EVERETT COLEMAN of Intermountain academy, claims Rifle, on the Western slope, as his home town. Mr. Cole- man does truck-driving and meter- reading for Swift's in Lincoln, and takes math as his major at Union. Delta is the home of MARY COOP- ER. She studied at Delta high school before coming to Union, and is a laundry employee during working hours here. HELEN CORNELL, also of the laun- dry force, looks to the Colorado metropolis as home. Helen brought her smile to Union last year from Campion 'academy. Here she laughs at math and happily unravels the in- tricacies of calculus. From Boulder comes LEONA ERWIN. Last year she finished at Campion; this year she did the logical thing by coming to Union. Journalist, printer, one-time school teacher and orchardist Is RODNEY FIN- NEY JR., a junior. The fact that he once lived in Montour, Iowa, doesn't prevent Mr. Finney from being a loyal Coloradoan, or f r o m thinking of Paonia as home. Campion is both home and 'former school to CHARLENE GRANT. MISS Grant is a freshman at Union, works for her domestic time in the kitchen. and gets her recreation at the piano. From Denver came BARBARA Hon- NECKE this year after having spent four years at Campion. At Union she sees humor in laundry work and seriousness in the normal course. HAROLD HUFFER, also of Denver and Campion, gets his physical exer- cise with a broom in South hall and with a basket-ball In the gym and his mental exercise from advanced Quali- tative Analysis In the chemical lab- oratory and from other pre-medical subjects. Diminutive In stature only are the Misses HAZEL and DOROTHY HUT- CHISON of Palisade, which is the Colo- rado peach district. Hazel finished the secretarial course last year and now looks forward to a B. A. degree; Dorothy is working on the normal course. Both girls work in a Union department which becomes tremen- dously important at meal times. SYLVIA JONES of Loveland and Cam- pion graduated from the academy there in 1930. At Union she takes a secretarial course and shows her ap- titude at letter writing by winning prizes in THE CLOCK TOWER contest. ESTHER BEE MILLER of Salida and Salida high school is another new comer at Union this year. Being un- decided as to a major she takes Gen- eral Chemistry and other things to help her decide, and works in the kitchen. Editor GLADYS MUNN is at Union working toward a B. A. degree with an English major. In Colorado Gladys called Denver home, attended Cam- pion, and spent her summers re- muneratively at the Boulder-Colorado sanitarium. Greeley, north-central Colorado, is the home of 'RUTH MOSER, who at- tended the Teachers' College high school there. A freshman at Union, Ruth works in the kitchen and dining room, and expects to finish with a B. A. before many years have passed. MARSHALL ROCKWELL of Boulder attended a California academy, and is now enjoying his third year at Union. Ambitious someday to practise medi- cine, he finds employment in the Chemistry department. A senior at Union is BEATRICE Ross of Palisade. Teaching is her chosen profession and history her major. Practical experience she gains by teaching history in the academy here. Wellington, near Fort Collins, is the home of HAROLD SCHMIDT, who is now at Union for his third year. When at work he wears the white uniform of a dairy employee, but Harold's chief interest is in music. Ills talent as a baritone singer is recognized. Another Colorado singer is FRAN- CES SPODEN, soprano, o f Denver. Frances graduated from Campion academy in 1931. She will finish the normal course at the end of this semester. 'CARLOS TURNER, better known as Jack, comes from the Boulder-Colo- rado sanitarium, where he finished nurses' training. At Union, Jack takes pre-medical work and keeps lonely (or not so lonely) vigil after the lights are out, he being nightwatch- man. The VAN DIVIER twins, JESSIE and JAMES, come to Union from Campion. Both are sophomores and distinguished for musical talent, Jessie as pianist and James as vocalist. From Denver to Union came HAR- RISON WADE, a freshman this year. In Denver he attended the East high school, and at Union he plies the printer's trade. Chemistry holds at- tractions for Mr. Wade, who expects to get a bachelor's degree with a major in that subject. The town of Grover is represented at Union by CLARA WERNER, who is taking the pre-nursing course. She attended the Grover high school and is at Union for the first time this year. Physicist, electrician, fireman, hu- morist, Union College junior, and president of THE CLOCK TOWER asso- ciation is WILLIAM WHITSON of Den- ver and Englewood high school. FRED WILLIAMS came to Union from Pueblo, in southern Colorado. Fred is a radio technician, having re- ceived his training at Coyne in Chi- cago. At Union he presides over the Zoology laboratory and looks for- ward to a medical career. A freshman at Union this year is VIRGINIA WYRICK of Denver. Virginia attended Campion academy last year. She is working for a B. A., and helps in the kitchen. Last year MIRIAM WESTCOTT, dieti- tian at the Boulder-Colorado sani- tarium, resigned her position and came to Union to be dietitian and matron and to finish her college work. Miss Westcott graduated from the Moun- tain View academy in California and from the dietetics course at the Col- lege of Medical Evangelists in Loma Linda. She expects to receive her B. A. degree from Union this year with a major in Home Economics.

Nothing is more helpful or effective than a personal, heart-searching inter- view of one's self. What type of en- tainment is uppermost in my mind? If it be the flippant type, I resolve to change my course and, with the help Hof God, be true to the ethical law, and also fulfill the words: "Dear old Union, loyalty to thee; To your standards true we shall ever be; Firm and strong, united are we. . SYLVIA JONES: Any entertainment chosen by careful consideration of a group of college people is almost sure to be worth one's time. One should learn to "fit in" with anything which is of value in gaining a wider insight of life. The ratio of one lecture to every four or five other entertainments should not become boring to any one. VIRGINIA MALLERNEE: The student should be taught in his childhood and youth the importance of cultural de- velopment and appreciation of the higher life. In the class work high ideals should be held before the stu- dent, who should be given such ma- terial to study as will increase his desire for the more important and in- tellectual forms of knowledge. CARLOS TURNER: The art of ethics should be stressed to the extent that, although one may not personally en- joy a lecture, he will conduct himself as an ideal unit of the audience be- cause he is polite. AARON OswALD: Culture is one of the main rungs in the ladder which one climbs to a perfectly developed life. True polish is not boresome; it does not consist of shallow arti- ficiality; it is more than skin deep; it is real! Life does not have poise unless it has some kind of polish. When the student is led to see how vital refine- ment is to the complete, well-rounded life, the problem of student apprecia- tion for programs of a cultural nature will be solved. RALPH Yos'r: Practically all lec- tures are given on Saturday evenings. The students have been studying hard during the week, and they wish to re- lax and partially do as they please on Saturday night. They would rather be entertained by some more amusing en- tertainment than a lecture. The stu- • dents who do not attend the lectures given on Saturday evenings would probably attend if they were given at a more appropriate time. I think the chapel period is the ideal time. It could be arranged that some of these periods be devoted to various lectures. All the students are present at chapel and would receive the benefit of the lectures, which are now wasted as far as some students are concerned. MILTON OLsoN: We students would profit by being able to take a course in art appreciation, but our first aim must be to develop our cognitive powers. 0 For no one doth know What he can bestow, What light, strength, and beauty may after him go: Thus onward we move, And, save God above, None guesseth how wondrous the journey will prove. —LUCY LARCOM. The laws of nature are the habits of Christ, and nature itself is but His steady and constant will.—LJGHTFOOT. An Ear To The Ground BY CHESTER R. PELTO A subject that will attract much interest when Congress meets in Jan- uary is that of appropriations. Pres- ident Roosevelt has spent considerable time lately in poring over estimates of departmental expenditures with his director of the budget, Lewis Douglas. It is calculated that the President will ask for at least five billion dollars to keep the government running in 1935. Slightly more than half of this sum will be used for the maintenance of such emergency establishments as CWA, NRA, and PWA. Repercussions from the recent Span- ish parliamentary elections at which Rightists made crashing gains com- prehend Anarchist riots and disturb- ances with threats of general strike and revolution. Moderate Premier Martinos Barrios is literally between two fires, with the reactionary con- servatives on one side primed to es- tablish a monarchy and the radicals on the other prepared at the proper time to set up a communistic state. The seventh Pan-American confer- ence opened recently at Montevideo, with Dr. Gabriel Terra, president of the Uruguayan republic, giving the welcoming address in the Congression- al palace. Prominent on the agenda of the conference are the encouragement of reciprocal tariff reductions (an end toward which the United States can- not cooperate materially because of the nationalistic foundation s of the NRA), the settlement of the war be- tween Bolivia and Paraguay, and cod- ification of South American inter- national law. Chancellor Hitler , is progressing slowly but steadily toward his total- itarian state (one party, one church, one people). He has reached his ob- jective in politics, and he is reaching it in nationality by relegating all non- Aryans to Ghettoes and by discour- aging marriages between Germans and non-Nordics. In the field of religion will come the test of his power. Knowing that for the present, at least, it is useless to attempt changing the Catholic church, he is concentrating his efforts upon Protestantism. His establishment of a Nazi Christian church, which aims to Germanize Christianity, i. e., to delete completely the Old Testament from the Bible and to substitute in its stead Norse myths of Wotan and Frigga, has created a schism in German Protestant- ism. For the time being, the Nazi Christiani have gained the upper hand by sending the more antagonistic preachers to detention camps and by banning the public devotional exer- cises of a few of the smaller inde- pendent churches. PAGE TWO THE CLOCK TOWER CHRISTMAS MEANS— To little boys and girls Christmas means fat Santa with his white beard and red suit; to them it means bright Christ- mas trees and wonderful packages with toys inside. Mothers think of Christmas as the time to cook cran- berries, corn, and peas; to bake sweet potatoes, turkey, and pie; to bring from the basement choice pickles, jelly, and fruit. Fathers think of Christmas as the time when a man must worry many days over appropriate gifts for the feminine mem- bers of his family, when a man fears he will never get his home budget going well again, but also when every one in the house- hold, including himself, is supremely gay. Salespeople find Christmas time to be "the rush": throngs of hurried, curious persons jam the store; merchandise on coun- ters is in constant upheaval; clerks stumble over one another rendering service. Chrismas to teachers means programs, poor grades, and excited students that cannot cooperate either in classes or extra activities. But to the student, Christmas means vacation, the longest one of the school year, almost in the midst of it. It means going home to see the folks, where one can sleep till nine o'clock in the morning, where one doesn't need to add by five each time he gets a helping of food on his plate, where one can drive Dad's car and never open a book. It means a happy, eager trip home, and it means being glad to stride up the curv- ing walk across the campus and into the "dorm" again, glad to meet refreshed teachers and friends, glad to find the room- mate, glad to unpack the old suit-case and sit down to study hard. G. M. YULETIDE CHARM Now comes the season "when hearts grow warm and home more dear." Christmas is the one time of the year when men yield to their emotions. This season urges one to do high things; it permits one to do unsophisticated things. At Christmas men leave their practical lives behind them and live spontaneously as children do. Christmas has a charm in it. Whenever November is near- ing its end, students begin to cast long glances homeward, to fidget, to rebel against their usual tasks. It is the real turn in the year. They approach it happily; they have a fine time when it comes; they idle time away, visit, play; then they begin a new year, looking forward to the next Christmas. There is something alluring in the snowy Christmas, in watching a Yuletide snowstorm. This is a Christmas we like to remember—"one of sacred and homefelt delight of family affec- tion, of simplicity, of communion with the beauty of nature." It is the kind of Christmas we'd like every one to enjoy among his other Yuletide gifts. F. L. Beginning with this issue, THE CLOCK TOWER will feature the states of the Central Union conference as represented by students at Union college. There will also be issues for the Southwestern union and for students who come from outside Union college territory. It is our plan to show the relationship between the college and the state by means of data concerning the workers and teachers in each state who are former students of Union college. Students from the particular state will be chosen to write the articles. Short biographies will be written of students who are here this year from the state, giving informa- tion concerning their work at the college, their previous school affiliations, their field of major study, and their plans for en- deavor after leaving Union college.

An early riser suggests that we re- name this "colyum" "The Bell Hop." It takes just as much backbone to acknowledge defeat as it does to achieve victory. Only a fool persists at a task which he knows impossible. Which of the rules for success is not consistently ignored by some eminently successful person? Not every band of serenaders carry a piano with them. The greatest sermon you will ever preach is your own life. Young North hall member gets a do'lar for every pound she gains in weight.

Winter Rain Clouds billowed low C,.1d, stabbing rain Ard slashing wind. Pavement s glared And tires sang, And smell of damp. Vas everywhere. Lights warmed' the gray And said, "Come in." But I listened to The leaden rain And wind walking Through trees. Inside Warm light Friends And sound of thudding rain. The auction reminded us that we generally want what others want. A worthy project for some group of students would be beautifying the campus in the area immediately back of the administration building. Some trees and flower beds and a lawn would be a big improvement. We've noticed that student talk about Christmas is not about the gifts they expect to receive at all. Rather, they speak of the fact that they ore going home. When we're away from home we realize what really counts. Theories for Cultural and Aesthetic Improvemnt Propounded by Freshmen A recent Saturday night lecture at the college being of wholesome and progressive intellectual and spiritual value, yet being poorly attended by students and insufficiently appreciated by some who were present, the evi- dent problem was presented to a group of freshmen for their suggestive solu- tions and comment. The following is a forum of their opinions. MAE SORENSEN: I suggest organiz- ing active, - up-and-doing - culture clubs in North and South halls for the purpose of stimulating the student body to further interest in the cultural side of life. In such clubs there•should be a minimum of faculty supervision and no special requirements for mem- bership except faithful lecture attend- ance. Joint meetings should be held in chapel on nights when lectures are to be given and should be of the in- formal, social type which allow op- portunity for open-forum discussion on material presented by the lecturer. WESLEY UNTERSEYER: An artist-- a real artist—should be respected and appreciated by every one, for he has developed the talents intrusted to him to the utmost degree. It is astonish- ing that so few college students show an appreciation of the true culture which education has brought about. I have heard few lectures that have acted more like a match to the un- lighted torch of my ambitions than that given Saturday evening, yet few of the students seemed to value it. Can it be that we have no appreciation of that which is real in life? Can we be the salt of the earth and still be in the same stratum as the common horde? Can the true Christian be so shallow-minded as to regard that which is the cream of civilization as unworthy of his appreciation and at- tainment? CHESTER PELTO: Contrary to the view held in a preceding aristocratic society, it is not impossible to instil in the majority of mankind interests higher than those immediately con- tiguous to ordinary economic pur- suits. The fact that most people have never experienced these higher inter- ests is due to the hurry and bustle of a machine age, which precludes oppor- tunity for thought. Usually the only impetus needed to start a man on the road to culture is to make him realize that he is missing the greater 'pleas- ures of life. But the process of making one aware is necessarily of long dura- tion. The acquired antagonism toward things which have been ridiculed for years must be worn away. Above all, a recognition of the worth of art must be engendered by long and sym- pathetic instruction. This can prob- ably be done in college only by means of a compulsory lecture course given in the freshMan year. In order to com- bat a student's natural resentment at being required to take a course which appears to be impractical, he should not at first be made to study, but merely to listen to simple, elementary talks designed to arouse interest in the subject. Undoubtedly the trial of such a system at Union college would produce results warranting its continu- ance. HELMUT WAKEVAM: One of the purposes of the modern college or university is to help the student in cultivating an esteem for the art in his everyday life. Because of the limited social activities at Union which are strictly beneficial and be- cause of the restrictions placed upon promiscuous, activities of the students, the school is duty bound to compen- sate for this lack of expansion along social and cultural lines. The lecture numbers presented have been suffi- cient in quality but deficient in quan- tity. Access to more of this kind of education should be furnished to the students. THEODORE TORKELSON: I do not advocate compelling students to at- tend these lectures; I believe they should be educated to realize the value of them, then left to choose or reject for themselves the opportunities thus provided. Student sentiment should be stimulated to encourage 'a liking for the learned and genuine things of life. I believe the attendance at worth- while programs could be increased if the announcement to the students specified that only those of strong minds with a desire to broaden their own lives are expected to attend. Few, if any, would be willing to admit having weak minds or being satisfied with their present attainments in life. MARY COOPER: Every student of Union college is striving for a greater height of standard; if he is not, why is he here? One cannot expect to learn every important fact from one com- mon source and still be justified in Lynchings indicate an hysterical mood in the mass of people which bodes evil for toleration in the future. Missions Emphasized in U. C. Sabbath School Present Needs of Central America; Rockwell Urges Sacrifice Demonstrating the great need of foreign missions, a missionary pro- gram was given Sabbath morning in Sabbath school. Donald Pohle, committee chairman, conducted an imaginary meeting at the conference office of the Inter- American union. Frances Spoden, con- ference nurse; Harold Schmidt, medi- cal missionary; Warren Swayze, field secretary; Esther Reeder, Spanish in- terpreter; Elmer Chase, educational secretary; and Lelia Pernelle, dele- gate from Jamaica, met for the con- sideration of problems that confronted their work because of financial diffi- culties. Lyc'ia Sonnenberg, a French wo- man, came into the office, and Louise Olsen accompanied her and interpreted for her. Her plea was that the con- ference might send some one to her people. Doris Kirstein, a Mexican woman. entered and Miss Reeder interpreted her words. The Mexican woman asked the conference to aid her people. She said, "We have built a church, but we have no one to teach us about Jesus." Mr. Pohle, turning to the audi- ence, made an appeal to the "home- land." Wilma Barr, niece of Ruby Lea, re- cited a poem stressing gifts to foreign missions. The Union college quartet sang and the orchestra played several numbers. The thirteenth Sabbath offer- ing was taken, besides a special offer- ing to defray :the expenses of music for the Sabbath school orchestra. Sacrifice and unselfishness are quali- ties needed in forwarding mission work, stated Marshall Rockwell in Sabbath school December 9, as he re- lated the story of European mission- ary, Schweitzer, who forsook a bril- liant career to go as a missionary to Africa. Henry Petersen read the Scripture. and the choir sang a response. A girls' octet consisting of Frances Spoden, Virginia Mallernee, Helen Meyer, Barbara Honnecke, Dorothy Schmunk, Irma Heim, Esther Maas, and Pearl Fairchild sang "When I See My Sa- viour." Arthur Bietz reviewed the previous Sabbath's lesson and gave details re- garding the amounts of food furnished by God to the Israelites in the wilder- ness. On December 2 Professor Larimore interviewed Miss Westcott, dietitian, before the Union College Sabbath school in a discussion on the impor- tance of the choice of good foods. Church at College View Observes Prayer Week The Week of Prayer for the Col- lege View church was opened Decem- ber 9 when Pastor J. S. Schilling read I. H. Evans' discussion on "the spir- itual needs of church members in the furnace of affliction." Pastor J. F. Piper, president of the Central Union conference, read a cablegram telling of the tenseness of the present situation in Germany, which has brought a ban on denomi- national endeavors and work there. Pastor Schilling declared the news makes more emphatic the nearness of Christ's coming, and urged all to make this a fervent week of prayer, especially for the work in Germany. To go safely through the trials of the last days, Pastor Schilling read that one must have a Christlike character which can stand the trials of living in the flesh, and must rea- lize that trials through which one passes are afflictions intended only for a strengthening of one's faith in God. Men should trust in God's divine guidance, he said, and should rejoice in being able to serve God. Pastor Schilling also extended the hand of church fellowship to five Un- ion college students who were bap- tized a few Sabbaths previously. The Week of Prayer at the College View church closed Sabbath with Dean G. W. Habenicht's reading of C. H. Watson's article, "Dedication of Life and Means to the Finishing of the Work." Though perilous times have come and warnings have been repeatedly given, as pointed out in the reading, there is great need of discerning the signs and becoming prepared for the close of probation.

Sunshine Band Presents Work in Chapel Program A dialogue representing the type of home missionary endeavor carried on by the Sunshine bands was presented at the Missionary Volunteer meeting in the chapel Wednesday under the direction of Florence Longwell and Louise Olsen, leaders of the Sunshine bands. The scene was a home where a mother, father, four children, and an aged grandmother and grandfather lived. The family was not able to attend many church services or enjoy the advantages of social circles. Into this setting the members of a Sun- shine band entered with Glenn Fill- man as leader. "What a Friend We have in Jesus" and "Always Cheerful" were sung by the group before Carlton Blackburn gave a short talk presenting the glories of heaven. "Drifting" was sung by Eldarita Leslie and Glenn Fillman. Helen Cornell told a story about two small boys, an Indian boy and a white boy, who became "blood- brothers." Two accordion solos, "Pal- ace of Light" and "I will Sing of My Redeemer" were played by Leona Erwin. Copies of the "Little Friend" were given to the children, and be- fore the visitors left every one sang "God Be with You Till We Meet Again." Louise Olsen told a story, "The Right Kind of Cheerfulness," which exemplified the need of relating only the cheerful side of life when visiting friends. The characters in the home scene were represented by: Marion Dailey, mother; Deo Root, father; Beatrice Ross, grandmother; Cleo Smith, grandfather; Carmen Stout, Blossom Church, Gordon Stout, Bobby Gour- ly, children. Root Discusses "Fate of Wicked" at Seminar For 1900 years the story of the love of Christ has been told. Would a God of love want a place of tor- ment? asked Deo Root in his sermon- ette on "The Fate of the Wicked" before the Gospel Workers' seminar Friday evening. The average person's conception of punishment is a place of fire, the speaker stated. He showed that the dead are now in the grave, and if there is now a hell, there is no need of resurrection. Destruction of the wicked will mark the end of sin, Mr. Root said. Sin will be forever done away with; the entire universe will be clean; perfect beauty and joy will all declare that God is love, the speaker asserted. The Gospel Workers' seminar dis- cussions of various doctrinal points were continued December 8 by Harry Christensen, who spoke on the state of the dead. Mr. Christensen gave a Biblical ex- planation of where man is after death, quoting statements from Job to show that Job expected to be in his grave and that he thought of death as a sleep. HAWAII IS DISCUSSED The "Land of Romance," Hawaii, was described in talks by Esther Reeder and Avery Dick in the Foreign Mis- sion band Sabbath afternoon in the Worship room of North hall. Laur- etta Wilcox, leader, gave a few sta- tistics concerning the beautiful "Island of Palms." Leona Erwin played characteristic music on her accordion. Henry Peter- son, assistant leader, played his chro- monica, accompanied by Miss Erwin on the accordion. 0 Human character is worthless in proportion as abhorrence of sin is lacking in it.—SHEDD. Yost Sets Forth True Cause for Right Living Christian Shows Fruits of Spirit; Longs for Christ's Coming That Christianity is the appropriate and exclusive method of righteous living was the basis of the discourse by Pastor Frank Yost Friday even- ing at the vesper service in the col- lege chapel. Pastor Yost said that Christianity is a challenge to the world, and that Christians should live in such a man- ner that others will be won to their ranks. He said that if the professed Christians should show the fruitage of the Holy Spirit they would stir the world. The experience of the reforma- tion started by king Josiah was re- ferred to as an example of this truth. He said that abstaining from things and places which give no positive good and taking part in things that give definite good and gain with re- spect to one's thinking and contacts is showing fruitage of the Spirit. The speaker admonished his hear- ers to consider the wishes of others, not forgetting that students and teach- ers together compose a large family in the college and that the effort should be to keep unity and peace among themselves. He urged that all live as true Christians, revealing the fruits of the Spirit, which are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, faith, meekness, and temperance. The second coming of Christ is as sure and logical as the harvesting of a crop after the planting of the seed, declared Pastor Frank Yost in vesper service December 8. Pastor Yost em- phasized three phases of the coming of Christ: (1) the promises of His coming, (2) the reason for His com- ing, and (3) the time of His coming. There are over four hundred promises in the New Testament that speak of His coming, the speaker stated. The purpose of His coming is to get His people and have them with Him, said Pastor Yost. It was the prayer of Christ that there would be a reunion, he continued; and this re- union, which will include the right- eous dead from the beginning, will take place when Christ comes. That the time of the second coming of Christ is not revealed is a good thing, for it will lead people to live a Christian life because of the love for Christ, rather than for the love of a reward, the speaker declared. "This is not a time to set a date for the coming, but it is a time to measure one's loyalty to Christ."

Appropriate settings and the light- ing for each scene added to the effec- tiveness of the presentation. A Per- sian doorway and dadoes lent an Oriental atmosphere to the first scene. A stone cottage and Palestine land- scape made later scenes more real. The scenic settings were designed and constructed by Mrs. Chloe Adams- Sofsky, Jewel Chase, Eugene Terry, Paul Miller, and Professor D. G. Hilts. FORMER UNIONITES HERE Dr. Lincoln Black, accompanied by his wife, Dr. Elada Messimer- Black, and Mr. John Jensen, all form- er Unionites now of Shelton, Nebras- ka, visited Wilton Black at South hall December 11.

Green of the Gen- eral Conference Publishing depart- ment told of the colporteur work in France at chapel December 11. His thesis was that although one meets with many apparent failures, with God's help he must succeed. The veteran bookman said that he once had the difficult job of convinc- ing twenty-two students of European nationalities that they could sell books in France. During the series of talks arguing with the students, he said, a local worker told them that selling books in France was not only improb- able but impossible. Following the argument against the work, each student resolved to go to work and succeed. At the start, Pas- tor Green said that not only they failed but he failed and so felt incap- able of helping them. As is always the case when God goes before, he reiterated, somehow things changed and eighteen of these students made a success of their work. :•;•;<:-X•X:::<•,::::<•:<>:•>:" ..7;i:•:;;;>1..XX•XX•XX.;<•>;•:<>;•:;1 , I PAP, TY LI Class of '30 Represented in Texas, Nebraska, Colorado, and California BY EDDA REES-LA12IMORE Nebraska, Texas, Colorado, and California are the four states which are, at present, the homes of many graduates from Union's class of 1930.
