Sponsoring the campaign is the Student Association of Union College, with Bobby Roberts as president. The money collected during the campaign will be used to refloor and put a ceiling in the gymnasium. As it is now, there is no ceiling in the gymnasium. When the new ceil- ing is built it will be constructed of acoustic boards to soundproof the gymnasium. Neither is there any subHooring in the gymnasium, but the new hardwood floor will be laid above some subflooring. This campaign is the first major project of the Union College Stu- dent Association since it was or- ganized last year. The individual goal for each per- son in the campaign is $20. It is believed by the campaign leaders that this goal will be reached by everyone who writes at least seven letters. The campaign, w h i c h w a s launched last Monday and Tues- day, will end Thursday, March 15, at.a joint-chapel in the auditorium. Instead of having regular study period, Tuesday night was pro- nounced letter writing night. There were no assignments or tests for any of the Wednesday classes. Wilbert Dale is the general chair- man of the campaign and the fac- ulty sponsor is Dr. E. B. Ogden. Vice-chairmen, or "majors," will act as union leaders. They are: Northern Union-Bill Lehman Central Union-Royce Williams Southwestern Union-George Fisher Cosmopolitan—Nina Engman The state leaders, or 'captains, are: Nebraska—Jean Sharp Kansas—Dave Frederick Colorado—Palmer Wick Iowa—Thclma Kepler Missouri-Don Woodruff Minnesota—Beverly Blost South Dakota—Verrion Chase North Dakota-Arthur Opp Wyoming—Norman Harvey Texas 1 Elmer Jordan New Mexico ) Oklahoma "J Louisiana >John Haffner Arkansas !

Mareta Jensen is chairman of the campaign's publicity committee, and Mr. Wm. Taylor is the advisor of the committee. The reporting committee chair- man is Jack Jester, and Mr. Robert Cleveland is advisor. Mr. Dale explained when the campaign was launched in chapel that there would be no prizes awarded those who collect the most money. The reason, he said, is that "the prizes would have to be paid for out of the hard-earned cam- paign funds. Anyway, T believe having a nice gym is prize enough," he added. A large goal device has been erected on the main floor of the administration building to show how each state stands in compari- son to others. Posters also have been hung in the main college buildings, and signs placed by cam- pus sidewalks to boost the cam- paign spirit. HEAR The WESTMINSTER CHOIR Directed by John Finley Williamson MARCH 10 » Union College Auditorium Som DeShay Wins Grand Prize; Bernice Klaric, Vocalist, and Gerry Thompson, Reader, Section Winners The long-awaited eighth annual amateur hour program was held in the Union College auditorium at 8:00 p.m. on February 10, 1951. A large crowd was on hand to witness the variety program consisting of vocal and instrumental selections and readings. Samuel DeShay, a freshman pre- med student, whose home is in Co- lumbus, Ohio, captured the first place of the instrumental section and also the grand prize of the eve- ning by his beautiful rendition of "Sextette, from Lucia di Lammer- moor." This selection was played with the left hand alone. Samuel is here under a partial music scholar- ship and it might be interesting to note that he has been studying pi- ano for only four and one-half years. Bernice Klaric was the first place winner in the vocal section, while Gerry Thompson placed first in the readers' section. Other winners of the evening were: Velma Johnson, Dave Even- son, Eula Mae Lindquist, Isabel Summers, Jean Wilmot, Fred Lo- renz, Ellis Olson, Walter Edwards, and Merlyn Dealy. Other students participating were: Robert Pound, Vivian Becker, Jackie Philips, Floyd Vipond, Lovina Tibbets, Donna Rae Bidwell, Dave Copsev, Lor- raine Hanson, Doralee Kaufman, Marian Miller, Martha Benson, Dale Wagner, Marie Yaeger. Mark- Dickinson, Betty Germain, Muriel Meister, and Sandra Prang. Jerene Abel, Alvida Brand, Donna Rae Bidwell, Clyde Dick, Charlie Cul- bertson, and Lois McWilliam were the accompanists. Pictured are the winners and their runners-up: Jean Wilmot, vocalist; Velma Johnson, violinist; Gerry Thompson, reader; Samuel DeShay, pianist; Isabel Summers, reader; and Bernice Klaric, vocalist. Annual Colporteur Institute Is Held One hundred twenty-four stu- dents enlisted in the colporteur institute held at Union College February 3-9. More are planning to sign up later, which will bring the total near the two hundred mark by the time summer vacation begins. A full week of instruction was given under the direction of Elder P. D. Gerrard, publishing secretary of the Central Union. Two instruc- tion periods were held each day, and students were excused from their classes to attend these meet- ings. The chapel periods were also given over to the experiences brought by the publishing secre- taries from the Southwestern, Cen- tral, and Northern unions. During the Monday and Tuesdav chapel periods the Colporteur Club pre- sented a short skit portraying the beginning of the colporteur work and the first active colporteur, George A. King. Ninety students earned scholar- ships last summer and are spending them here at Union College. The prospective colporteurs arc antici- pating a profitable summer both spiritually and financially. Students Select Roberts As Delegate to Paris Student association president, Bobby Roberts, has been chosen as Union College's delegate to the Paris Youth Congress, which will be held in Paris, France, July 24-29, 1951. Roberts and his wife will leave here early in July in order to meet the other twenty-five U.S. delegates in New York City, where they will sail for Europe. The list ' from which the student body voted was follows: Reuben Beck, Alfred as ; Bennett, Beverly Blost, Beverly Ca- nine, Wilbert Dale, Norman Doss, Everett Fisher, Hallie Glass, Eunice Grant, Ann Hazelton, Grace Huf- faker, Nicoli Nelson, Palmer Wick, Royce Williams, Don Woodruff, Velma Johnson, Bill Lehman, Ed Macomber, Bill Neptune, Bobby Roberts, Billie Wright, Warren Zork, Marion Zummach, Norman Sharp, and Harry Sharp. MISSION BAND ORGANIZES; BERNHARDT IS LEADER "We Too Receive" was the title of the film shown at the first Mis- sion Band meeting of the year, Fri- day, February 9, in the college chapel. The meeting was under the direction of leader Alfred Bern- hardt. Other officers include Wes- ley Green, assistant leader, and Ruby Birch, secretary. Special music was given by Wins- low Ellis and Don Dunkin in a clarinet duet. Featured also was the Harmonette quartet, Don Woodruff, Palmer Wick, Keith Wiseman, and Ernest Clark, who sang "The Jericho Road." Mission Band will heneeforth al- ternate each Friday night with Ministerial Seminar. U.C. Group Gives Lincoln Day Program at Capitol Students and faculty members from Union College gave a program for the state legislature at the capi- tol building last week in celebration of Abraham Lincoln's birthday. The program was given before the en- tire legislative body. The Madrigal singers, under the direction of Mr. Harlyn Abel, Elder M. VV. Deming, and Raymond E. Davis participated in the program. Mr. Davis gave the Gettysburg ad- dress. Elder J. J. Williamson of the Bi- ble department addressed the leg- islature on the importance of reli- gious liberty. He said that the Unit- ed States will remain great as long as its leaders hold to the principles of religious liberty. He appealed to them to remember the forefathers that established such principles.

Strahle was speaker at the opening meeting of colporteur institute during the vesper hour February 2. The main theme of Elder Strah- le's sermon was "Christian Convic- tion." He told a few experiences of native workers in the foreign fields. Even though American missionaries are not allowed in China at the present time, faithful Chinese have the conviction to finish the work in China. They are carrying forth the third angel's message with great difficulty. It has been noticed by Chinese officials that these Seventh- day Adventist workers are different from other Christian believers by the fact that they will not compro- mise their convictions under any circumstances. Elder Strahle brought out the fact that our Chris- tian convictions should be strong, since we are still free to worship as we feel in this country. Elder Strahle is at present the publishing secretary of the South- western Union and was field secre- tary for the General Conference be- fore going to the Southwestern Un- ion. He has done much traveling abroad as he was publishing secre- tary for the Far Eastern Division and then the Northern European Division for over twenty years. Fol- lowing World War II Elder Strahle was food administrator for the Gen- eral Conference until 194S. He has met many world leaders and has made personal friends with such re- nowned people as General and Madame Chiang Kai-shek. *_ ANTICIPATION • Saturday Night Feb. 17: Student Association Feb. 2-1Lyceum: Captain Knight March 3: Faculty Progressive Parties cwwWi iH'h. laand^/XB^aign Feb. 22rTorter Sambrium ^ Feb. 23: Elder E.

Your Campaign and Mine December 7, 1941, released the spectre of war which, until that memorable and despicable day, had been held in check, somewhat, from venting its wrath upon the entire world. You will remember Che eager desire to serve that was felt by every true American in that dark hour. Soon war plants were working around the clock; recruiting offices were jammed; service camps were bustling with activity, as all united their efforts to repel and crush the dastardly attempt vo blot out the democratic ideals held by the greatest country in the world. After four long years of anxiety, toil, blood-spilling, and shedding of tears, this country won the most costly and most signally important victory of her brilliant career. This victory was realized, however, only because of the hard work and smooth co-operation that were manifested by all those involved. Today the young men and women of Union College stand face to face with another crisis. This time it is directly relative to our loyalty to our school. Before this article is published, we will have chosen the leaders to direct in the student campaign to raise funds to re-floor and ceil the college auditorium. And it is our dutv and privilege to support this campaign with all of our energies just as it was the duty and privilege of the American people to unite their efforts in supporting their country in 1941. Naturally, since the auditorium is used by so many different groups on the campus and is in such apparent need of repairs, it is felt that the readers are in agreement with the plans mentioned above. Now some may feel, though the need is recognized, that they do not have the time or do not feel the urgency of merging their energies with the other students in such a campaign. However, if these students, few thouah thev be, dec:de to lend their energies to the task, thev will feel the same pride in Union's achievements as anyone else and someday will point with satisfaction to the auditorium's improvements. On the other hand, if these people do not do their share, they will feel rather embarrassed, in the years to come, when their children ask them what they did to help build Union College. Some may feel that Union is not perfect, that the school is not functioning just as they think it should, and therefore hesitate to take part in the fund raising. As we think about this fact, it might be well for us to remember the "gripes" that many of the men had in the service concerning the way the army or navy was run. These same men, however, forgot their complaints when thev actually faced the enemy and rendered valiant and heroic service to their country. Certainly all true Unionites will do the same as we combine our energies end efforts to make this campaign a real success. —Bobby Roberts (Continued from page 1) Betty Lou Sorenson Bettv Louise Hopkins Margaret Louise Weitzel Ens Kiev Edith Williamson Gustava Manning ^ Shirley Davis Zork Sally Espinosa Sanchez Bachelor of Science in Secretarial Elmer Harry Seale, Jr. Training Joan Sharp Marilyn Brown Richard A Stafford SUMMER SCHOOL SENIORS Gerry E Thompson L;foer«/ Arts Verlene Dena Wall Rub Mamie Birch Gaston Wade Wallace Ear] Erk, Brenneise Alice Josephine Zendner Hcnry D Darre]1 Bachelor of Science in Music Franklin Riseley Education Lowell Edward Robertson Kathleen Janet Dixon Michael William Valentine Tessie Marcum Hinton William Forrest West, [r.

Curtiss and Colvin Are Seminar Speakers "Christ the Spring of Action," was the theme of Ministerial Semi- ( nar Friday evening, February 3, 1951. Paul Curtiss, the first speaker, stressed the fact that we, as mes- sengers of God in this bewildered world, should make no compromise with sin. We must study to show ourselves approved u n to Go d, while living our religion before our fellow men. Andrew Colvin stated: "Christ is the wellspring from the heart. More than anything else we need the love of God in our lives. Thou shalt love the Lord thy Cod with all thy heart and only through Christ is this made possible. Christ gives us the power to take evil out of our hearts; we cannot live a pure life without His. We are the sons of God. Oh, what a wonderful thing! What wonderful love!" An attendance of over 75 shows the interest of the students in our Ministerial Seminar. f w • • • air I • ••• • « • •• McWiiliam Blair Novella McWiiliam, junior from Fort Scott, Kansas, is the recently elected Kappa Theta president for second semester.

Their other of- ficers include: Dave Frederick, vice-president; Ray Hcrber, treas- urer; Rex English, secretary; Ger- ald Healzer, assistant secretary; and Howard Runck and Vernon Thompson, club heralds. A series of Saturday night musi- cals in which various students, fac- ulty members, and guest artists will appear are being scheduled begin- ning with February 17. These re- citals will be held at 6:45 until sun- down necessitates a change in time. Admission to these programs will be by ticket only because of the limited capacity of the recital room in the Engel Hall. However, these tickets may be obtained free of charge at the main desk in the music building any time during the week preceding the recital. The first of these recitals is to be given by the five students whom the Union College Music depart- ment is entering in the Lincoln Symphony solo auditions. Mr. and Mrs. Ilartwick Hansen (individu- ally), Lyle Jewell, Doralee Kauf- man, and Robert Pound are the stu- dents who will compete for the privilege of soloing with the or- chestra during the April 10 concert. The recital on February 23 is to be given by a group of students of the Nebraska Wesleyan University School of Music. Students of Mr. Charles Watson are receiving valuable experience in the piano seminar recitals which are held each Tuesday evening. Dm 'ing this time students perform and are criticized by Mr. Watson and other students. This not only gives the performer an opportunity to receive experience in public, but also gives the other students a chance to enlarge their acquaint- ance repertoire. "Reading Makelh a Full Man, Conference a Ready Man, and Wriling an Exact Man" NURSES CLUB After telling of the Nebraska State Student Nurses Association board of directors meeting in Omaha last month, Howard Runck introduced Miss Blanch" Graves to the club. She spoke of her experi- ences as a nurse cadet in World War I and told the importance of being a refined, dignified nurse. Miss Graves is the director of the Bureau of Education and Registra- tion for Nurses in the state of Ne- braska. NATURAL SCIENCE CLUB On January 20, the members of the Natural Science Club met to discuss future plans for the second semester. Among some of the ac- tivities discussed were nature hikes, a science fair, and a field excursion. Colorful slides were shown by Dr. D. M. Brown, the club sponsor, showing some of the plant life found along the shores of the Mich- igan peninsula. The stages of plant development and growth with re- lation to their habitat was empha- sized, showing the struggle of plant life to survive over the sea and changing land conditions. College freshmen often feel that they should not be required to take another English course, since they have had English every year for the past twelve years. Why shouldn't they spend their time studying something more advanced and more practical, or at least some- thing new and interesting? Few realize how indispensable the English department is. Few un- derstand or perceive that the study of English is valuable to all depart- ments. English is not only a tool of thought and a medium of commu- nication but also the expression of a personality, a means of compre- hending one's self as well as others. Francis Bacon once said, "Read- ing maketh a full man, conference fdiscussion] a ready man, and writ- ing an exact man." If a person is to write in order to inform, persuade, or entertain, he must have the nec- essary technical skill with words. No matter how much he may know about the subject, his knowledge is of little value unless he can com- municate it to another person in such a way the reader will under- stand what the writer is attempting to say. The denomination has many very good speakers and lecturers, but there are not many good writers. At Union College one can get ex- perience in newswriting, creative writing, and similar courses. Last year the composition classes wor second place in the Youth's Instruc- tor writing contest. Thirteen prizes were awarded to students in these classes who wrote papers for the Youth's Instructor. Everyone is aware that the de- nomination has branched out con- siderably in the field of public re- lations. As this field grows and progresses, undoubtedly men and women who have been trained in composition, journalism, and crea- tive writing will be needed to carry on this phase of the world program. Man should have, as a part of his experience, the humanities—art, lit- erature, and music. To educate without educating in the humani- ties is only partial education. The objective of the liberal arts college should be to create a well-rounded man who seeks to understand the spiritual, cultural, scientific, and physical facets of human nature. The English department of Union College aims not only to teach its students to use the English lan- guage correctly, but also to help them to acquire a taste and appre- ciation for that which is wholesome and beautiful in literature. 2 CLOCK TOWER, FEBRUARY 16, 1951 The password for good-looking sh irts is Van Heusen with the collar that won't wilt . . . won't wrinkle.

HARE The department of physics at Un- ion College accommodates three groups of students. Non-science majors, preprofessional majors and those majoring or minoring in physics. For the liberal arts students the department provides two courses of ^.special interest—one in the lower ' division and one in the upper divi- sion. Radio Physics was originally offered for those students who were Dealy, o member of the Radio Physics class, uses a Hewlett-Packard signal generator to obtain the frequency response of a public oddress amplifier. interested in becoming radio ama- v , tcurs and in operating their own transmitting stations. In the future this course will be given for a still larger group. To all who enjoy good recorded music the course will be an opportunity to study high- fidelity sound systems. All future teachers and evangelists will be in- terested in the emphasis placed on f the construction and operation of public address systems. Radio Phys- ics will no longer require a profi- ciency examination in the interna- ^ tional Morse code; however, the various types of code practice equipment can still be used by those students who are interested. r Radio physics is available on alter- nate years and will be offered next during the 1951-52 school year. Descriptive Astronomy is the up- per division course for liberal arts students. Most of those who enroll intend to be ministers or teachers. It is of special interest to those who anticipate doing Master Guide 4 work. The laboratory which accom- panies the lectures not only in- cludes a group of formal experi- ments but also provides for star study using the department tele- scopes. During the second semester students may work on projects of their choice. In the past these have included constellation catalogs, constellation lantern slides, star maps, sun dials, and telescope models. Most of the preprofessional stu- - dents who plan to enter some branch of medical science enroll in General Phvsics. In addition to the topics usually covered, this course ^ places emphasis on the medical ap- plications of the subject. Students majoring or minoring in physics comprise the third group. It is of interest to note that by the ' end of the present school year Un- ion College will have graduated seventeen physics majors in three years. Some of these men were in- " terested in teaching and have al- ready entered their chosen field. Others are now taking graduate work with the idea of eventually filling one of the manv positions available in industry. The depart- ment offers a number of courses de- signed to accommodate these two , interests. Since it was first offered four years ago, Laboratory Glass Blow- about some topic of his choice. This year's seniors are working on proj- ects which include an electronic timer for the department's spot welder, Gieger counters, printed radio circuits, and a syllabus for one of the upper division laboratory courses. For several years the department has held a research contract deal- ing with vacuum tube design. This not only has served as a source of inspiration and information to the students enrolled in the depart- ment but it has also provided em- ployment for some of the upper di- vision majors. An important aid to the work of all the students is the departmental library which has on its shelves some 300 books, as well as bound volumes of scientific journals. The library receives approximately thirty "current periodicals. All of these are in addition to physics books and journals available in the college library. Perhaps you are now a student at Union College and have never vis- ited the department of physics. Per- haps you have never had an oppor- tunity to visit the college. In either case come to the first floor of the Science Hall. You will be more than welcome.

Some are no doubt relieved that they won't be home when their grades get there. If such is the case with you, per- haps this poem will express your sentiments. I think that I shall never see A "D" as lovely as a "B." A "B" whose form is proudly pressed Upon the transcript of the blest. A "D" comes easily, and yet It isn't easy to forget. "D's" are made by folks like me, But only brains can make a "B." -k It seems that after all these years two new Bible characters have come into existence. At least, Bev- erly Blost was heard telling her Sabbath School class about two Old Testament characters, Ain and Cable. * It isn't the season for spring fever yet, but Gordon Bissell already has the symptoms. The other evening at the library he reached into his pocket to get a pencil and pulled out, not a pencil, but a toothbrush, •k Mark Dickinson deserves a lot of credit for keeping the moral of the Golden Cords Chorale high. His apt cartoons and characterizations are a constant source of humor for the members during the regular practice periods. ~k Mr. Taylor acted a little sheepish as he walked back to school after his car last week. But he isn't alone in his forgetfulness. Gertrude Deg- ering also walked home last week after forgetting she had driven her car to school. Gertrude had the ad- vantage, however, because she had a father to go after it for her. •k Beverly Canine has acquired a new name, Miss Beverly Bow-wow. -k In World Literature class during a discussion of the character, Shy- lock, the instructor made the state- ment that years ago when the part was acted, Shylock was represent- ed as being red-headed; later he was portrayed as having black hair; and at the present time a grey- haired man is typical. "Do you think that this is because more sympathy is now being placed with Shylock than was before?" asked the teacher. "Sympathy, nothing," spoke up Ralph Lee, "that's only because he's getting older." -k After working late on some ex- periments one night, Dr. Brown found it impossible to get into his house. His key just didn't seem to work, so after many futile attempts, he rang the doorbell. Imagine his surprise when Mr. Taylor answered the door, and he found he was at the wrong apartment. * Despite all the modern devices that we enjoy today, the average college girl still has difficulty in finding time for those "little things" that need taking care of. Alvida Brand has an idea that might prove of some value. She uses that no rinse, no wipe cleaner, FAB, to wash her hair. It serves as a double time-saver, for not only does it save her the task of rinsing her hair, but the soap film remaining in her hair keeps her combs clean from week to week. k College Professor: If there are any morons in the room, please stand up. There was a long pause, then a lonely freshman rose to his feet. College Professor: What? Do you consider yourself a moron? Student: Well, not exactly that, sir, but I hate to see you standing there by yourself. •k Ask Richard Ellis about this: It's most disgusting when you hurry to leave To find that someone has sewn up your sleeve. Now he's about to break his poor head To find out who used the needle and thread. k Dorothy Hill appreciates her roommate's kindness and thought- fulness in little things. Whenever she feels down in the dumps, Shir- ley Duren always has some kind word to cheer her up. For instance, the other day when she was told that she was to be "Madame X" she said, "Oh, this shouldn't happen to a dog." "No, it shouldn't," Shirley replied, "but it certainly has." Re- member, Shirley, a man is judged by the company he keeps. k How does deodorant work for pancake make-up, Betty Reynolds? (She should know, for she acci- dentally tried it the other morning.) k Donna Rae Bidwell was seen rummaging through everything in her desk drawer trying to find her pen. She had almost given up when she finally found it—in her hand where it had been all the time. k Sara Quantock's face turned al- most the color of her red sweater one noon in the cafeteria when she discovered to her horror that she had three forks instead of the con- ventional one. k Have you seen Edward Macom- ber's latest haircut—a crew-cut on top and long on the sides? Ed says, however, that it's just an example of the installment plan. The barber would cut only half his hair for fifty cents, so when he gets another fifty cents, he'll have the job com- pleted. , / p \ £ THE VIGILANT ONE? Do you like this column?

To participate in this particular sport is an asset to everyone's occupation. No set rules have been made as a guide for it. There is no age limit, and it can be enjoyed by young and* old. Often it is indulged in by in- fants and adults at the same time. Because one sometimes partici- pates in this sport before he realizes . it, the sport is very popular. Seldom is one "asked" to play but is merely drafted into it unconsciously. Al- though it is possible to enjoy this sport alone, it is best played by two or more individuals. However, when one plays it alone it is not long before others join him. Very uncommon to most sports, there is no boundary of time or place where it can be put into prac- tice. Often it is played the same 0 time one is enjoying another sport. It can even be enjoyed in the classroom, which very often hap- pens. Occasionally, the teacher joins the group in this sport while at oth- er times he frowns upon those in- dulging in it, and in some cases asks those participating to leave the room. Perhaps there is one place where this sport should not be played but has been played there, also. This place is at church, which, you will " agree, is no place for a sport of this nature. What is this sport, you ask?
