Marsh, head of the biology department of Union College, spoke to the student body in chapel January 5 and 6 on the subject of evolution. To preface his remarks, Dr. Marsh explained that the subject was so broad that only a phase of it could be covered in the chapel period. There are four classifica- tions of evolutionists, the students were told, the atheistic, who be- lieves things just happened, leav- ing God out; the agnostic, who does not know; the deistic, who be- lieves that only the inorganic world was created; and the theistic, who believes God created life, but that man evolved from a simple form to what he now is. "To escape the miraculous, the evolutionist has accepted the fabu- lous," Dr. Marsh said. He went on to explain that the evolutionist finally must accept his theories by -faith, as they cannot be proved or demonstrated in the laboratory or in life. Finally, Dr. Marsh reminded his audience that there can be no compromise between the evolu- tionist's theory and the special creationist's belief, for the basic facts of the two religions are ab- solutely opposed. Dear Reader: If you subscribed to the CLOCK TOWER during the campaign, this is your first issue.. —The Editors Elder D. E. Reiner, Central Un- ion home missionary and Sabbath school secretary, delivered a chal- lenge to leadership last Sabbath as he presented the 1950 Ingathering goal for the College View church. Elder Reiner used an incident in the life of David to illustrate the attitude of God's people today. When David was hiding in a cave from the Philistines, he wished for a drink from the well at Bethlehem. Three of his generals who heard the wish broke through the enemy lines and brought the water to their king. Because of urgent appeals from the mission field at the recent Fall Council, an extra million dollars was pledged to the mission budget by the Home Missionary and Sab- bath School departments of the General Conference. The Nebraska Conference has pledged a Minute-man goal for each member in the 1950 Ingather- ing campaign. "Now is the time for us to do great things for our leader," con- cluded Elder Reiner. MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION GOES TO PLATTE VALLEY A representation from the Union College Ministerial Association went to Platte Valley Academy, Shelton, Nebraska, December 16 and 17, to conduct the Sabbath services. Two speakers, Bill Lehman and John Parobek, plus the Knights of the King quartet, Fred Holweger, Darrell Beyer, Charles Davis, and Don Gilbert, left College View Fri- day afternoon and returned Satur- day night. The association sent a group to the academy last year and received the invitation to return this year with another program. The group presented the Friday night vespers, the Sabbath sermon, the M.V. pro- gram Sabbath afternoon, and the vesper service at the close of the Sabbath. Bill Lehman, at the Sabbath church service, reminded the stu- dents and faculty of some of the doctrines that are often neglected. Taking John the Baptist as an ex- ample, he made the plea that the youth live the doctrines and make the standards even higher than they are now. At the Sabbath vesper service, Parobek told the students that God leads the way and that they should not choose to be led by any other. The quartet sang for all the serv- ices of the week end. MISS 1950 TITLE WON BY U.C. Union College nabbed the colors when Miss Cheryl Lynn Ortner was pronounced "Miss 1950 of Lincoln." Miss Ortner is the new 7 lb. 10% oz. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Ortner. The new titleholder first filled her tiny lungs and opened her mouth to let her presence be known at 1:12 a.m., January 1. Cheryl Lynn's parents are both recent students of Union College. Ortner plans to graduate here with the class of 1951. To make the pennant sure for Union College, Miss Beverly Dawn Hudgins was born at 4:02 a.m. fol- lowing Miss Ortner just two hours and fifty minutes. Beverly was Lincoln's second birth in 1950. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Hudgins; Dr. F. A. Alcorn, from the Lin- coln Orthopedic Hospital, was the speaker at the first Mu Epsilon Delta meeting of 1950 on January 7. Nearly 150 people crowded into the biology lecture room to hear Dr. Alcorn speak and see the film that he had taken, personally, of the victims of poliomyelitus at the Or- thopedic Hospital. The symptoms of the disease are headache, redness in the throat, fever, muscular spasms, stiffness in the back and neck, and pain in the abdomen. Muscular weakness and paralysis usually occur, though all cases are not affected in the same way. Milder cases usually recover without any deformity whatsoever. "Prompt diagnosis of polio is very important because it is often diag- nosed as influenza and the longer (Continued on page 3) "Love Christ, Work for His Coming, Says Wallenkampf "If we love Christ's coming we will do all we can to hasten that coming," were the emphatic words of Elder A. V. Wallenkampf, assist- ant professor of religion, at the ves- per service last Friday night. "If we really love God, we will want Him to come tomorrow if possible. What do you think Jesus thinks of our love if we do not ar- dently desire His return?" asked Elder Wallenkampf. The speaker pointed out that there were many who are having such a good time here on this earth that they do not want Christ to come very soon and spoil that good time. "We, the church, are Christ's bride. What are we trying to do— postpone the wedding?" he in- quired. The speaker invited the group to learn to love the Lord and His soon coming by associating with Him more. "We must donate time to love to make it grow," he con- cluded. she weighed 6 lbs. 6% oz. Mr. Hudg- ins is to graduate this spring with a B.A. degree in religion. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Beck were clear out of the "Miss 1950" race, but they proudly announce the birth of a girl ( they are not changing the model) on January 7. Starting the Union College baby girl "parade" was Miss Janel Kay De Haan. She beat the holiday rush, however, making her appear- ance on December 16, 1949. She weighed 7 lbs. and 731 oz. Her par- ents are Mr. and Mrs. Frank De Haan. Teachers Honored in American Men of Science In the new edition of American Men of Science, which is just off the press, six of Union's teaching staff are listed. These are as fol- lows: Milton D. Hare: Photochemistry; projection lamps; microwave magnetism; electron beams. Dr. Guy C. Jorgensen: Isomeric alpha beta-Biphenyl-delta ke- tonic acids; bismuth organic compounds. Alice G. Marsh: Human nutri- tion; food analysis; effect of the level of protein intake upon basal energy metabolism. Dr. Frank L. Marsh: Ecological entomology; hyperparasitism; ecological botany; origin of species; hybridization. Dr. Edwin B. Ogden: Conse- quences of two assumptions of Sulaimon's theory of relativity. Dr. Robert W. Woods: Magne- tism; electronics; automobile hill-holder; tone decay for electronic organ; initial inner permeability of iron at radio frequency; sound; general phy- sics; mechanics. Listing in this biographical direc- tory depends upon the completion of original research and the report- ing of these contributions to science in standard scientific journals, as well as upon professional status. Dr. Marsh also enjoys the unique position of being included in the new book, first edition, first print- ing, by the A. N. Marquis Com- pany, bearing the full title, Who Knows—and What among Author- ities, Experts, and the Specifically Informed. Presidenf Woods Visits Cuba During Christmas vacation Pres- ident Woods went to Cuba to study the possibilities of establishing an extension to Union College at the Antillian Junior College, which is near Santa Clara, Cuba. Last summer the General Confer- ence Department of Education rec- ommended that Union College es- tablish an extension in Cuba for the purpose of training teachers to work in Central and South America. The General Conference commit- tee asked President Woods to visit the campus of the Antillian Junior College to study the possibilities of such an extension with the leaders of the Inter-American Division. President Woods said that he found a beautiful campus, about 200 students, and a consecrated and well-trained faculty. Several meetings were held with the leaders of the Antillian Union, the college, and the division, and a tentative program was prepared to be presented to the Academic Standards committee of Union Col- lege. "Cuba is a lovely country," said President Woods. "Royal palms grow wild, and the climate is won- derful. The most beautiful sight I saw," remarked President Woods, "was while flying over the water. The sky and the water were both a deep blue; it was impossible to tell where one ended and the other be- gan. A few small white clouds com- pleted the picture. It was as if I were in another world."

TRADITION IS GOOD, BUT— There is a tradition at Union that doesn't become our school. We like to show visitors the Golden Cords, the Clock Tower, the library, Engel Hall, and the well- equipped science building. But when they are invited to speak during chapel they behold our ancient custom of chapel announcements. Any speaker has the odds against him from the start because it is in the five to eight minute announcement period that textbooks are opened. The speaker has to make test-fearing students close their books to listen to him. If they open a book after the speaker has started that is his own fault. But if before—then the fault lies with the time taken up by announcements. This needless announcement period is remedied at many of our sister and neighboring colleges by a special bulletin board system. WE CAN DO THE SAME! Announcements could be placed under per- manent headings and students would learn to read them after they have missed one important notice. Many speakers have had to cut their lectures short because of the length of unnecessary time taken up by announcements. � E. B.

Party Group Juggles Adjectives When the group, which had a party at Miss Smith's home started juggling adjectives, here's what happened (without malice aforethought): It was on a droopy evening; the sky was good- looking and blue with sleepy clouds. Never had the cheerful weather been so magnificent. Many wonder- ful people were gathered in the parlor of the rough Miss Smith. Purple Floyd Vipond and muscular Fran- ces Chase were among our frightful guests. Drowsy Palmer Wick, hideous Bernard Yanke, ignorant Rose Schroeder, and stupid Louise Schmidt, were among our rugged cooks. Hair-raising Dick Anderson and stupendous Ronald Orr kept artistic games going. Bald-headed Bill Brodie and bountiful Reuben Beck helped eat our red popcorn. Frisky Barbara Codding- ton, glorious Annette Iseminger, and sophisticated Gladis Schmidt were our feeble ghosts for the expen- sive evening. Obnoxious Joe Carpenter, sly Virginia Winn, and fancy Dorothy Winn won the dark prizes for the impertinent evening. After our itchy fun, every- one, went to his romantic home and had cranky, drippy dreams.

Mr. Walter Page, assistant in- structor in biology, is the band lead- er under the supervision of Mr. J. A. Mayer, who is the church mis- sionary secretary. The Signs are sent to a carefully selected group of names for a six- month period. Near the end of this period, a questionnaire is sent ask- ing each receiver if he has been enjoying the Signs, what he likes about it, and if he would like to continue his study. Over one hun- dred were enrolled in the 20th Cen- tury Bible course in this way last year. .2eileu Ia tie DEAR Enrron: Much can be said about one's dress. In fact, when I looked in the Index to the Writings of the Spirit of Prophecy, there were five col- umns of references devoted to the subject of dress. I could not say more than what has already been given for our admonition concern- ing dress except to remind the read- ers of this article that we as Chris- tians have a duty to fulfill. Simplicity is the keynote in a Christian's personal wardrobe, for Scripture entreats women to wear that "which becometh women pro- fessing godliness." For when our heart is separated and we yearn more for a display of dress and out- ward show than to heed the in- struction that we adorn ourselves with the incorruptible apparel of a humble and quiet spirit, it is writ- ten that he will exchange "beauty for ashes." To devote more time and money in building up one's ward- robe than is reasonably necessary amounts to nothing more than in- dulging in pride. On this we must be extremely careful, for in Prov- erbs it is written that the "fear of the Lord is to hate—pride and arro- gancy." Before I became an Adventist, I aspired toward fashion designing; and the contacts I had made with designers emphasized simplicity while extremes in dress are frowned upon. Outsiders look with disgust and disapproval on those who pro- fess to be Christians and yet try to mimic those of the world by adorn- ing themselves lavishly with jewel- ry, furs, daring apparel and lipstick. I voice with strong disapproval girls compromising with the world by wearing lipstick. I am alarmed at the number of Adventist women who do use it both to a mild and greater degree. It cannot be as- cribed to one who is humble and waiteth upon the Lord in the beau- ty of holiness. We are to dress to gain respect for our cause, not ad- miration to ourselves. For as the Israelites on the Day of Atone- ment had to take off their jewelry and costly garments and put on the apparel of purity and simplicity, so we of today in the time of the In- vestigative Judgment must abide by these rules of dress. For the day of atonement was a type of the investigative judgment. Joing E. HAW1UNSON Jorgensen Presents Chemical Experiments That steel wool comes from hy- draulic rams was one of the many interesting facts presented by Dr. Jorgensen in his experiments on oxygen and hydrogen before upper division chapel, Thursday morning, January 6. His generous ration of wit, received an attentive audience, as did numerous demonstrations of some of the unusual qualities of oxygen and hydrogen. In showing that hydrogen gas is lighter than air, he "poured" some of the gas upward instead of in the usual downward direction. That carbon dioxide gas is heavier than air was shown by "pouring" some into a large beaker containing a lighted candle. When enveloped by the gas, the candle immediately ceased to burn. CLASSY GLASS CLASS BLOWS GLASS The Physics Department course in glass blowing has the highest enrollment in its history. Mr. Nei- digh, the instructor, believes that its fifteen members constitute a class which compares favorably in size with that at any other college or university in the country. This upper division course, which is open to majors in chemis- try and physics, is intended to help the student acquire the ability to make and repair simple glass appa- ratus. It includes practice in glass- to-metal as well as glass-to-glass seals. This year the required laboratory work has included such items as tees, liquid air traps, small Kipp generators, and electric discharge tubes. After he has completed these exercises, each student is encour- aged to build projects of his own selection. In the past these have in- cluded Hopkins reflux condensers and neon signs. One popular activ- ity among the chemists in the class is the repair of broken glassware which otherwise would have to be discarded and paid for by the stu- dents. The members of the class assure us that contrary to any impression that may have been gained from Professor Hare's glass blowing demonstrations, the laboratory time is not devoted to the construction of "back-firing" birds. U.C. MEN WORK IN FORESTER'S CLUB Two Union College men, being active directors in the Sierra For- esters Boys' club, which donated the use of a truck and trailer to take relief supplies collected by LSC students to the Navajo Indian res- ervation at Christmas time, served to bind UC and LSC in a common cause of mercy. The two Unionites, Floyd and Ray Vipond, say there is no other work so vitally important and so needful of widespread cooperation as the work for youth. That is why they have joined students of three other Adventist colleges in the Si- erra Foresters' work for teen age boys. Ray, now the assistant gen- eral director in the club, hopes to return to UC soon and better fit himself for work in the club. Both Ray and Floyd have had a summer in the woods with the boys' club. They are agreed that there is nothing else so calculated to de- velop manly qualities in a boy, and confidence in self and in God as a period of useful work in the woods under God-fearing directors who can lead out in the study of bird, plant, and animal life. Cooperation, faith in Christ, and love are the keynotes that bound them in the boys' club and that joined UC and LSC in delivery of Christmas cheer, food, warm cloth- ing, blankets, vitamins, and medi- cal supplies to the Navajo Indians in northeastern Arizona. WEDDING On December 22 Miss Ruth Han- sen and Mr. William Ledington ex- changed vows at the Saville Side Church. They will make their home in Los Angeles, California. Their sanitarium friends join in wishing them the very best.

No. 6 is now at the free throw line where he will try for that very necessary and needed point in the ball game, and i-i-i-it's good! That's the way it goes, for again the basketball season is on! A num- ber of the practice games have been played, but Sunday, January 8, marked the official opening of the basketball roundup. All were anxiously looking for- ward to an exciting opening game and did they get it! In the captains meeting, the numbers of the teams were drawn and those numbers showed up as follows: the first game was between the Royal Knights and the Longhorns; the second brought the Spartans up to the Nuggets; and the third came through with the Faculty playing the Dakota boys. Now for a few de- C tails concerning the league game openers. First on the slate of records stands the Longhorns- Royal Knights game. Team members and statistics are as follows: Royal Knights: � Longhorns: Pts. Fls. �Pts. Fls. Pounds � 9 2 � H. Brussett 5 4 Hepker � 6 2 � M. Brussett 2 2 T.

Thompson and Pounds, both of the Royal Knights with a total of 10 and 9, respectively. The scores were kept very low in the game, for both knew that they dare not lose the ball or play it reck- lessly for their opponents were right on hand to recover if given a chance. So the Longhorns went down before the Knights with only a score of 25 to 30. It was the Spartans and Nuggets who next went into action in the gym. Spartans: DR. ALCORN (Continued from page 1) the victim is without proper treat- ment, the longer it takes to recov- er," said Dr. Alcorn. Spinal punc- ture is the most effective method that has been found for diagnosing the disease. "Hot packs applied from four to six times a day are the first admin- istered treatments. Passive exercises are begun as soon as muscle weak- ness leaves, then the patient does active exercises as soon as he is able. Exercise relieves pain, in- creases circulation, and relieves muscle spasms," continued Dr. Al- corn. Two-year-old children are the most susceptible victims. After that the number of cases decreases and the severity of the cases increases. More often fatalities occur in adults than in children who contract the disease. Children often recover completely. Dr. Alcorn concluded by warning that the surest guarantee to recov- ery was prompt medical diagnosis and care at the first onset of any of the symptoms mentioned. Faculty: � Dakota: Pts. Fls. �Pts.

The vice-president, Carol Mag- nuson, brought the club to order after the singing of several carols. Thelma Kepler read the Scripture reading and offered prayer. Teddy O'Blander told the story of the "Littlest Angel," and Bergitta Peter- son sang "Daddy's Little Sweet- heart." For this special program, Santa Claus (Penny Gibson) gave the Madame X report and passed out the gifts which had been pre- viously placed at the foot of the Christmas tree. Each girl presented her friendship sister with a gift. After unwrapping their gifts and munching on popcorn balls and large rosy apples the club was dis- missed with wishes for a happy holiday season by the vice-presi- dent of the club. * * TEACHERS OF TOMORROW CLUB Miss Maxwell, an instructor in the elementary school, uses games to teach little children their funda- mental skills. A demonstration of these games was given the Teachers of Tomorrow Club on December 18. Miss Maxwell had eight of her pupils demonstrate the game of "words." The next meeting is on January 15. It will be an investiture service. "At that time new members will re- ceive their pins, entitling them to membership in the National Teach- ers of Tomorrow Club—Helen Hy- att Chapter," said Robert Lee, the club reporter. 4702 Prescott Just 3 doors west of Post Office Pressing While You Wait In at 10 a.m. — Out at 5 p.m. — PRICES RIGHT — TEMPERANCE CLUB Are you the student who will make $5.00 a minute on March 4, 1950?

Maybe Bob Widener can throw a little light on the subject. Have you noticed the waves in Dave Parobek's and Stanley Jones's hair? By the way, boys, what does Arkansas have that Nebraska doesn't? It seems that Bonnie Roark and Penny Gibson are tired of riding in the elevator; now they are trying riding on top. Sorta dirty up there, isn't it? After taking a test to find out what occupation she was best suit- ed for, Beverly Canine found out she would succeed best as a grease- monkey. Don't give up, Beverly, at least you ought not have any trouble finding a ride home. Most of us are happy to receive a Christmas card from a man, but was Barbara Hill? No! She was an- gry because he only put a 2-cent stamp on it instead of a 3-cent. What are you trying to do, Joan Karry, collect your insurance? The other day she fell down three times, then later in the afternoon she cut her finger open with a piece of glass tubing. Mrs. Jones was quite surprised the other night to find Joan Kan-y cleaning her room at 12:30 a.m. * It may be cold outside, but, Mrs. Jones, don't you think one pair of gloves is sufficient. Coming home from church, she discovered she had a pair on her hands and a pair in her pockets. Anyone missing a pair of white gloves see Mrs. Jones. 0:4)•/04•11.1.0.•04Mr.1.01=•.0.0.4•MMI•11.1011411E.10:0 I � You've tried the rest— Now try the best!

Lopp DENTIST Office Phone 4-4044 3625 S. 48th St. The other day in anatomy class Mr. Page was telling of a little boy who said, "The stork has run to my house so many times he is now just a duck." That's what you call run- ning your legs off. Carol Jean Johnson seems to have a one-track mind here of late. One day after eating dinner she went out to put her coat on. She started putting her head scarf on, when she happened to look down and noticed that she was wearing someone else's coat. Whom does she have her mind on? After returning from a program the other night, Christine Carlson had hoped to retire with pleasant dreams. On entering her room she found not a pleasant dream but a nightmare. She found her chest of drawers and her bookcase turned completely upside down. After re- arranging her room, very tired and disgusted, she started getting into bed only to find she had been short sheeted. Maybe from now on you will keep your dead mice in your own room. Aletha Schilt had better keep her mind on her side of the table next time she goes out to eat. While eating, she was so interested in the man across the table from her that she poured soda all over her sand- wich instead of catsup. * In Intermediate Greek, Dr. Rein- muth asked, 'When you say 'for heaven's sake' what do you mean? Did you ever think?" Norman Doss shook his head in the negative. "That's right," was Dr. Reinmuth's quick comment.

How about that, Martin? The sophomore class at Boulder recently organized. The officers chosen were: Lloyd Shephard, president; Marie Downey, vice- president; Rose Chin and Luella Nelson, secretary and treasurer re- spectively; Darlena Stanford and Phyllis Ernst, reporters. It seems as though our Porter cat is learning to read and is trying to abide by the rules of our nurse's home. He bounded up the stairs, but stopped short at the sign on third floor, which says, "No men allowed." Back down the stairs he ran faster than lightning. Someone remarked, "That must have been a Tommy." Celinda says her alarm clock doesn't ring, but her roommate knows. She saw Celinda turn it off in her sleep. "What is respiratory embarrass- ment?" was the question asked in surgical nursing. "When the lungs turn red," an- swered Marie Downey. Ethel Nakoma, on her first day on duty at Porter went to Miss Gema, the supervisor, and said, "I wonder if you could give me an- other patient in place of the one I have. I think I made her too nerv- ous." It was then that Miss Gema explained that Ethel's patient had palsy. DUNLAP Barbers 48th and Calvert On call for O.B., Mary Kay Woods has gotten so that she can hear Mrs. Cornell's phone on first floor before the buzzer is rung on third. You should see the new guest room at the Porter dormitory with its new mahogany furniture. Recent guests were Willie Bro- die and Mr. Back. Friends of Porter were made happy by a visit from Elder and Mrs. N. R. Nelson, who came to visit their new granddaughter, Shelly Kay Rolland. We are glad to welcome two junior students to Porter, Ellen Mc- Cormick and Sylvia Ford. They were kept busy in O.B. Christmas day as Porter's doctors delivered more babies than any other hospi- tal in the city. We had a number of visitors in our dormitory guest room during the holidays.
