By  Dr. E. M. Flans°  
Just one month before the San Fran•  
cisco Conference of the United Nations it  
becomes very obvious that the real work  
of building an effective international or- 
ganization that will be more than a de- 
baters' club has just begun. We have  
reached only the first stage of a long  
difficult journey. "Now we have to trans- 
late our desire for an international or  
into concrete measures that  
can enlist the voluntary support of nearly  
fifty nations, as well as our own people."  
The half-finished task of 1919 will not  
be completed with relative ease in 1945  
or 1946.  
There are five major problems that de- 
serve frank discussion before the con- 
ference meets: "(1) the relative powers  
of the Security Council and the General  
Assembly; (2) the procedure of voting in  
the Security Council; (3) the failure of  
the sponsoring Big Four—the United  
States, Britain, Russia and China—to in•  
elude Poland in the list of invitations;  
(4) the position of France; (5) the re- 
lationship of regional security arrange- 
ments to the United Nations organization  
(see the previous number of the CLOCK  
TowErt )."  
There are "perfectionists who will  
have nothing to do with any plan unless  
it meets their minds as satisfactory. Such  
a plan will never be devised. Is it not  
far preferable to be satisfied at present  
with compromises, to get something not  
too elaborate working and to sit down  
around the council tables face to face  
with facts and statesmen? Corrections  
and perfections can then be made, maps  
can be redrawn and injustices removed  
by peaceful changes rather than by resort  
to war. The most valuable factor in any  
international organization is the oppor- 
tunity provided for men to sit down and 
talk a problem through to a solution.  
The best of cooperation has been re- 
vealed in the conversations between  
President Roosevelt and the eight non- 
partisan delegates he has selected to at- 
tend the Conference for the United  
States. Freedom of action has been  
promised to them and their earnest com- 
ments are gratifying. Most auspicious is  
the report that the press will be present  
with full liberty.  
Elder Nichol Speaks  
Elder F. D. Nichol, associate editor of  
the  Review and Herald  and editor of the  
Life and Health,  gave a series of five  
lectures concerning the beginnings of the  
Advent Movement in the chapel and the  
church on the week-end of March 30.

Wood, Krogstad  
to Jom Faculty  
Miss J. Mable Wood and Mrs. Eleanor  
Cowles-Krogstad are to be added to the  
Union College faculty for the coming  
year as music instructors.  
Miss Wood will come to Union from  
Southwestern Junior College at Keene,  
Texas, where she has taught piano and  
organ for the past six years. She has  
studied under Roy Lament Smith at the  
Cadet Conservatory, Chattanooga, and  
Dr. Guiseppe Ferrata at Tulane-Newcomb  
University, New Orleans.  
Mrs. Krogstad is now teaching at  
Enterprise Academy, Enterprise, Kansas.  
She attended Emmanuel Missionary Col- 
lege and Union and studied music under  
Miss Swedeberg in Nevada, Iowa. She  
has also taught in Sheyenne River  
Academy and Oak Park Academy.  
The many students at Union from  
these academies and Southwestern Junior  
College will be especially happy to wel- 
come these new teachers.  
Stokers Constructed  
bg Mr. Kleiman  
"We are saving on labor and elec- 
tricity over $1,000 a year with our new  
stokers," declared F. R. Kleiman, College  
Plant Engineer, in describing the recently- 
constructed stokers.  
During the winter of 1943.44 the need  
of new stokers was definitely foreseen  
when the old steam-operated stokers be- 
gan to give considerable trouble. After  
experimenting for some time, Mr. Kleiman  
assisted by Merlin Pierson, undertook to  
design and construct new stokers.  
The task was by no means easy. The  
amount of air and coal going in had to  
be  precisely coordinated. Efficiency,  
labor, and safety also had to be taken  
into consideration.  
In contrast with the old system, in  
which the coal was pushed under the  
fire, the new system augers the coal in  
and spreads it evenly over flat grates by  
means of a steam jet. This creates a  
uniform flame. Therefore it is now pos- 
sible to carry an even steam pressure  
under varying loads much easier and  
more quickly than before.

Practical Values To  
Be Emphasized  
As another indication of progress at  
Union College, a revision of the present  
course in freshman composition is planned  
for the forthcoming school year, to make  
it more specifically fill the needs of the 
individual student.  
According to Professor Tarr, chairman  
of the English and speech departMent, the  
freshman composition will as far as is  
practicable be integrated with other  
courses in the student's curriculum. Em- 
phasis will be placed upon class discus- 
sions and on writing that will relate to  
material gleaned from lectures, reading,  
and other class recitations.  
Two one-hour lectures a week, fol- 
lowed by one period of discussion and a  
two-hour writing laboratory, will be the  
new order. For both writing and dis- 
cussion, students will be divided into  
"similar interest" groups.  
The discussion periods will give op- 
portunity for formal or informal exchange  
of ideas on a variety of subjects, but al- 
ways under the guidance of the in- 
structor. All writing done in the course  
will be done in the writing laboratory  
period. Apart from research papers and  
one or two longer type themes, the writ- 
ing will consist of such work as letters to  
friends, Sabbath School reports, term  
papers for other courses, or any other  
, practical writing the students may have  
occasion to do.  	 •  
"Freshman composition," states Pro- 
fessor Tarr, "is a tool for use in all  
spheres of activity. As such it should be  
made as useful and as purposeful as pos•  
sible to the individual. It is not neces-
sarily an English course, but rather,  
inter-departmental; and if we can, for  
example, help a physics or mathematics  
student to write his term paper or to  
explain a problem in acceptable English,  
using a clear well-modulated voice, we  
are accomplishing the purpose of the  
course."  
Before it took two men three hours  
each morning to fire up.; now one man  
can do the same in less time than the two  
could before.  
An automatic signal and water system  
were also installed.  
When interviewed, Mr. Kleiman said  
that all three stokers are now completed  
and are operating very satisfactorily.  

Band Appears in  
Spring Concert .    
A blare of trumpets, the roll of drums,  
—this was what brought die eol!ege stu- 
dents, faculty, and villagers to bear 45  
minutes of music with the Union College  
Band ois the evening of March 24.  
After opening with the "Star Spangled  
Banner," the Band began with the Bach  
"Preludo in Bb Minor" and a "Fughetta"  
by Steiner. "Tripple Ripple" followed as  
a trumpet trio with Robert Warner, Ulric  
Martin, and Delmer Holbrook.  
With the Band accompanying, Clif- 
ton Cowles, baritone soloist, played  
"Stars in a Velvety Sky."  
After a rousing march, "Hail to the  
Varsity," by the Band, Robert Warner,  
trumpet soloist, played Del Straigers'  
"Carnival of Venice."  
A marimba octet comprised by Har- 
riette Sherard, Alys Mae Jewell, Norma  
Jean Johnson, Elsie Eisenman, Evelyn  
Beebe, Ivy Jo Larson, Mary Bess Johnson,  
and Grace Burke, gave "Malaquena" as  
their selection.  
The Band closed the program with  
"Amaryllis" and "Trombone Triumphs."  
At an interlude in the program, the Band  
presented a gift to Mr. Lauritzen in ap-
preciation of their director.  
Sabbath School By  
Junior Class  
The Junior class, under the leadership  
of President Arthur Soper, presented the  
Sabbath School program March 24. After  
the song service and opening hymn, led  
by John Herr with Josephine Griffin at  
the piano, Hilda Fern Remley offered  
prayer.  
Assisted by Lillian Mantz at the organ  
and Walter Webb as soloist, Edwin Beck  
read "The Drowning Singer." Marlys  
Plinke-Owen gave the secretary's report.  
After Merlin Pierson pointed out the  
medical needs of South America, "Spirit  
of God" was played as a marimba solo  
by Harriette Sherard. Mackay Christian- 
scn gave the review. In closing a Junior  
men's double quartet sang "My Anchor  
Holds."  

The general campaign leader, Wilbur  
Chapman, gave a short pep talk and in- 
troduced•fhe Union leaders. The state  
captains gave short, pertinent answers to  
questions which came over the public  
address system.  
At the beginning of this week 12,500  
letters have been written by the students  
and faculty of Union College. It is  
anticipated that at least another thousand  
letters will have been written by the time  
you receive this "Clock Towe-. ' It is  
the plan of the student bad; to contact  
every Seventh-Day Adventist home in the  
Northern, Central, and Southwestern  
Unions. This means that 14,500 letters  
will have to go out.  
The 	 inspirational program in • the  
recreation hall Wednesday morning, re- 
viewing the history of the previous build- 
ing programs and campaigns at Union  
College, added even greater impetus to  
the enthusiastic campaign spirit. The re- 
ports presented that day totaled $2,242.80.  
Already responses and donations are  
coming in. A field day is being planned  
for April 3. - There will be no classes,  
and the student body will participate in  
solicitation for funds for the campaign.  
The large offerings and the small offerings,  
together with the united cooperation of 
the students, will assure the raising of  
$12,500 by April 18.

The Alkest  7441   
Our attention has been drawn to a startling array of figures about  
the shortage existing in the teaching profession, and we believe they will  
be no less interesting to our readers than to ourselves.  
The school year 1944.45 witnessed the entry into the teaching field of  
170,000 new teachers-15% of the total in this country. Of these, 85,000  
held emergency certificates, most of the holders being unqualified for teach- 
ing. Despite the influx of these 85,000, superintendents are still frantically  
searching for 10,000 more to meet the requirements of understaffed schools.  
The teaching profession today is far more attractive than in past times,  
and in recent years great improvements have been made in the lot of the  
Seventh-day Adventist church school teacher in regard to remuneration, work- 
ing conditions, scholarships, and professional advancement. Yet what applies  
to shortages in state-aided schools applies equally to our church schools in the  
Mid-west.  
More of our young people should be training for the teaching profession  
—"the nicest work ever entrusted to man."

Mice, mice, everywhere! That's what  
the girls in the business office thought  
when at the same instance three mice  
were seen by three different girls in three  
different sections of the room. And they  
were not timid creatures, as the girls can  
tell you. Don't worry, these things don't  
get by unnoticed,—or why was it that  
feet were lifted off the floor?

Bang! Crash! Something in the Furni-

that she was scared out of a year's growth,  
but we don't think she will mind, owing  
to her tall stature, do you?

On a recent Speech test, some humor- 
ous sentences were given as a result of  
the vocabulary section. "Interment," we  
thought, means burial, but some sen- 
tences read, "He was free after his  inter- 
ment."  "They were very  interment  in  
their actions." "He was at an  interment  
camp for a year."  
Another sentence read. "The wolf  
jowled  all night." Still another, "The  
grandmother went out, the mother went  
out, and the  foyer  went out."

Letters to the Editor  
Dear Editor:  
I believe that the biology, chemistry,  
and physics departments here at Union  
College are exceptionally well staffed and  
taught. In comparison to the others of  
our colleges, I am sure we can be proud  
of our standards and attainments. How- 
ever, medical interest and organization at  
Union is, in my opinion, definitely odor- 
ous.  
In a college which draws students from  
four divisions—the Northern Union,  
Central Union, Southwestern Union, and  
Cosmopolitan—it seems there should be  
a larger interest or attraction to medicine.  
What is wrong? Is our connection with  
the College of Medical Evangelists faulty?  
Our library is very inadequate in medical  
books.  
Isn't there a group at Union that is  
concerned about these problems? The  
Union College pre-medical student is part  
of a group sadly in the minority in size,  
influence, and prestige! Let's organize!!  
Confidentially,  
H. C. SEELY  
Bob McManaman, according to Betty  
Christiansen, climbs the girls' stairs in  
the Administration Building, because a  
recent chapel speaker reported doing so  
when he first came to Union—and now  
he is a famous man.  

Vera Jordan was born on a large farm  
in Southern Nebraska, and lived there  
until the age of 15, she moved to Wash- 
ington with her parents.  
Vera enjoys boating, hiking through  
woods, and mountain climbing. She is  
especially fond of chocolate cake and  
fresh home-made bread; she dislikes  
Algebra, Trigonometry and "conceited  
people."  
When Vera was a youngster she be- 
lieved in being thoroughly clean—at least  
we know that during her pre-school days  
Vera was found eating soap.  
The one thing  that  has given Miss  
Jordan the greatest satisfaction is the ex- 
perience of four summers she spent in  
the canvassing field, by which means she  
has earned her entire way through college.  
Vera is majoring in Bible, minoring in  
education and biology. She plans to teach 
in an academy this fall, and some day  
hopes to go to India as a missionary.  
S. ZYTKOSKEE  
"Zyt" claims an unusual experience— 
he visited Washington D. C. before  
Franklin Roosevelt was president. He  
was born in Talaima Park in 1910. He has  
always attended our schools — church  
school, Maplewood Academy, and now  
Union College.  
Zyt had difficulties keeping out of  
trouble when he was a youngster. One of  
his saddest plights occurred when he was  
peeking into Christmas presents before  
Christmas. Father Zytkoskee caught him,  
and as a result he had to wait for one  
year before he enjoyed any of his Christ- 
mas presents!  
At one time his hobby was promotion  
of church schools; lately, it's become  
much of a reality. He definitely dislikes  
for people to come late to committee  
meetings, also for people to park their  
cars on the sidewalks when it's muddy  
weather. Like most men, he enjoys read- 
ing, visiting, and  eating  malts.  
This spring he expects to be a minis- 
terial major and a history minor.  

Another Missourian Senior is Sir Oliver  
Johnston in appearance, stature, and  
mannerisms, he reminds one of a certain  
American General Johnson. However, he  
(Oliver) will never be a General because  
he has other ambitions. Mr. Johnston  
wants to become an able and fluent  
evangelist. He has been training himself  
for this work these past three years at  
Union College by studying the ministry.  
Most of "011ie's" education was re- 
ceived in Missouri. It's interesting to  
note that 011ie has a weakness for school  
and  school teachers (yes, he married one.)  
His first experience with school-teachers  
dates back to the year when he was a  
first grader. He was very fond of his  
teacher, who allowed him to sit on her  
lap during reading class. One day the  
teacher was to take supper at the Johnston  
home, so 011ie rode home with her. He  
crawled into a box on the back-end of the  
teacher's buggy and 'closed the lid. The  
road became bumpy, and 011ie bounced  
out and landed sprawling on the frozen  
ground. The horse, buggy, and teacher  
went jolting down the road. Screaming,  
011ie chased the buggy for a quarter of  
a mile and reached home at the same  
time the teacher did.  
011ie likes symphonies and chocolate  
pudding. He feels, however, that Ne- 
braska cowboy music and unfriendly  
people are obnoxious. Mechanics and  
POGUE - SAUNDERS  
Roberta Pogue became the bride of  
Romaine Saunders, Jr., Tuesday, March,  
at 8:45 p. m. in Glendale, California. The  
ceremony was performed by Elder Bietz,  
a pastor in Los Angeles. Mr. Saunders is  
in the U. S. Coast Guard.  
JOHNSON - RAMSEY  
Wednesday evening, March 14, Fern  
Johnson and Wayne Ramsey were mar- 
ried at the home of president E. E. Cos- 
sentine.  
Attendants were Mary Bess Johnson,  
maid of honor, Jim Ramsey, best man,  
Carol Heft, Eileen Mayberry, Art Soper,  
LeRoy Albers, and Rebecca Ann Ander- 
son, flower girl.  
Music was provided by Kenneth Flet- 
cher, Harriette Sherard, and Virgene  

Ruth Mitchell came from a farm near,  
not orange or grapefruit, but Lemmon,  
South Dakota. She graduated from  
Plainview Academy.  
Ruth has always loved to tease. As a  
child, her chief delight was teasing her  
younger sister—a daily occurrence. One  
day she chased sister all over the house  
with a feather. Finally the frantic sister  
climbed up on the dining room table to  
defend herself. Mother, hearing the  
commotion, came in time to catch Ruth  
squarely in the act. What followed then  
must be censored from the pages of the  
Clock Tower.  
Besides teasing, Ruth enjoys good  
music, sewing, cooking, and nature study.    
Ruth never could quite understand why  
people made left-over roast; or puddings  
for she doesn't like them.  
In her spare time Miss Mitchell keeps  
scrapbooks, does photography, and col- 
lects recipes. Perhaps this last-mentioned  
hobby is the clue to her home economics  
minor. Her fond ambition is to be as  
good a cook as Mrs. McWilliams and an  
efficient Bible Worker.  
Ruth will also have an education minor  
and a religion major. After graduation  
this spring she will take up her, life work  
of being a Bible worker.  
making money are "011ie's" hobbies. He  
has canvassed so much that colporteurage  
might also be classed as one. Mr. Johns-
ton will intern in Texas this summer.

formed the ceremony.  
MASTERS - WEIDEMANN  
Judy Masters and Pvt. Martin Weide- 
mann were united in marriage in an army  
ceremony at the South Denver Clmrch  
March 25, 7:00 p. m. Elder Weidemann,  
father of the groom, officiated.  
Among the attendants were Rosella  
Weidennann, Bob Cleveland, and Shirley  
-Massey-Cleveland.  
PHILLIPS-KOENIG  
Ed Koenig and Mabel Virginia Phil- 
lips were married in Denver, March 13,  
at the home of Elder Don Rees.  
Lieutenant Kenneth Phillips and his  
wife, Gladys Phillips, stood up with  the  
bride and groom.

CLOCK TO\VER, APRIL 2, 1945  
AT UNION WE WORK  
Education of the Hand  
Ahead with the Press  
"CREATING FAVORABLE IMPRES- 
SIONS"  is  the  motto of the College  
Press.  
Twenty of Union's students help  
themselves through school by working at  
the press. Students who work at the  I press obtain a knowledge of a trade that  
will prove valuable in almost any line of 
work they may choose. Printing de ,    
velops initiative and thoroughness in the  
character of the worker.  

A Partial Tour of Union's  
The Union College Press is having  
some of the busiest and best days of its  
history, with several "thousand dollar  
weeks" to its credit. Printing 4,000,000  
tracts for the Pacific Press is no small  
task in itself. Besides this, the shop  
prints five regular publications, does job  
work, and also special work, such as  
books and advertising. Just now they  
are starting with the GOLDEN CORDS  
for 1945.  
Under the management of L. L. Nelson  
and the leadership of James Anderson as  
foreman, the Union College Press is doing  
a  successful work in making financial  
gains and in teaching students a trade  
which will assure them security in later  
life.  
At the present time there are 24  
women and 17 men employed in the  
furniture factory. Mr. VanSyoc says  
they put in about 1,200 hours of labor  
per week. Of the 41 employees, 28 work  
in the assembly room under the super- 
vision of their foreman, Harold Burr; the  
other 13 work in the mill room with  
Ivan Pearson as foreman.  

Sanitary Engineering  
Of all the degrees offered at Union  
College, the one most outstanding and  
honorable (to the one attaining such a  
degree) is that given in Sanitary Engineer ,    
ing.  
Only a select group can enter this  
course. A student desiring to major in  
the course must appear before Mr.  
Hartman or Mr. Dunn. If these two  
gentlemen feel that the student has suf- 
ficient mental capacity and a great deal  
of patience (if he doesn't have very much  
he soon develops it), the student then is  
referred to one of five places to receive  
his training.  
He can go to the gym, where he won't  
have to work very hard because the floor  
is most generally kept well mopped by  
some poor unfortunate skater who lets  
himself fall for a blond wink or a brunette  
giggle. Then there is the library, where  
everything is always so clean and inviting.  
They keep it that way by borrowing  
Administration Building's vacuum cleaner.  
It's told they even borrowed it for keeps.  
If you want to work in either of the  
school homes, that's all right too; but  
you're liable to find your trash cans at  
the bottom of a stairway some morning,  
where they have been rolled by some  
practical joker . . . . but it all helps in  
learning to love your neighbors.  
Now, most important of all, is the  
place where you do graduate work—the  
Administration Building. You have to  
have chemistry and trigonometry to get  
to work there, because it takes a brain ,    
storm to be able to discern just how much

Should you perchance enter the Capitol  
City Bindery any time between 7:30  
a. m. and 5:30 p. m., you would find  
at least several representatives of the  
crew of 15 girls working at various tasks.  
The work at the bindery consists of  
rebinding books and binding periodicals  
into books, so naturally there .are duties  
to be done which are too numerous to  
mention.  
The book must be entirely remade— ,    
this means removing old covers, per ,    
forating, sewing, trimming, making new  
covers, lettering the titles on, and pack ,    
ing for shipment.  
The bindery annually does approxi- 
mately 30,000 books, which come from  
Wisconsin, South Dakota, Iowa, Southern  
Missouri, Colorado,  Kansas,  and Ne ,    
braska.  
The Construction Crew  
"It's just like putting the last bit of  
frosting on a cake." That was the  
thought of the workers as they put the  
last part of the roof on the beautiful  
three-story science building that is quickly  
coming to a finish at the southwest corner  
of the Union College Campus.  
With the help of approximately 25  
workers, under the direction of John  
Zwemer, the contract o r, satisfactory  
achievements have been made since the  
beginning of the construction work last  
fall. According to the one in charge of  
the building project it is hoped that the  
science building will be completed some- 
time in July.  
Presently, the permanent stairway is  
being built, the windows are also being  
placed, and the electrical fixtures, plumb ,    
ing, heating, and ventilating systems are  
all put in place.  
The 50 by 107 foot building is made  
of masonry. The first floor is to house  
the Physics department, the second floor  
the Chemistry department, and the third  
the Biology department. Each floor will  
have its own laboratory, lecture room,  
offices and cloak rooms.  
The faculty and students are looking  
with increased satisfaction upon the new  
structure, and are greatly anticipating the  
day when it will be used for service.

No, it is not  a fire— just the 12:15 rush  
making the Administration Building fairly  
shake with the running of dozens of feet  
down the halls. The destination? Why,  
the Cafeteria, of course!  
If it's Wednesday, ice-cream awaits  
the hungry group which has waited so  
anxiously for the last bell to ring. Always  
there is a choice of vegetables, fruits, and  
cereals presented during the day.  
Ration points and high prices would  
eliminate many foods regularly served  
were it not for the canning and freezing  
of tons of food during the summer. The  
very word "corn" brings vivid memories  
to the minds of several students here.  
Most industries can declare a holiday  
but the kitchen cannot—all others are de- 
pendent upon it.  

Industries  
We take pleasure in presenting  
with this issue a summary view of  
t h e industrial picture at Union.  
Many students are employed in  
places not reported here, as in the  
various offices and the library. How- 
ever, if you follow on this tour you  
should have a good idea of how we  
work at Union.  
The Editor  
Brooms Pay  
Hard work and top wages characterize  
the Lincoln Broomworks, the highest- 
paying industry at Union College.  
The hard work and top wages go hand  
in hand, since much of the work is done  
at piece rates. That is one reason for  
the substantial profits shown in the past  
year.  
While the broomshop pays the highest  
wages of all the industries on the campus,  
the boys working there feel they definitely  
earn the money. If any doubt exists in  
our mind, you should pay the shop a  
visit and watch Albert Gerst at work;  
then you will understand what a piece  
worker must do to earn those fancy wages.  
Due to the shortage of help from the  
college men and the need of more work- 
ers in an expanding industry, girls are  
being employed. Although the work may  
not be conventionally desirable for girls,  
Betty Yanke and Mary Ellen Owen seem  
to enjoy their work in the shop.  
The broomshop is looking forward to  
further expansion in the near future to  
meet the increased demands of business.  
Production and profits have been increas- 
ing steadily and there are many good in- 
dications of a continuance of progress.  

3  Million Nails  
A recent interview with Superintendent  
J. T. DeVice and Production Manager  
D. D. VanSyoc reveals that our College  
Furniture Factory is a busy industry. In  
1944 (the calendar year) 24,500 chests  
and desks were manufactured.  
It is estimated that there were 2,695,000  
nails and 343,000 screws used in the  
construction of this furniture. There  
4 were 98,000 drawers used in the skeletons  
of desks and chests. Enough paper was  
used in wrapping this furniture to cover  
the campus of Union College. If the  
factory would have shipped the year's  
production all at once it would have  
) taken a freight train with 125 box cars  
to hold it.

	 CLOCK TOWER, APRIL 2, 1945  
Navy HNC aid  
khaki  
. Recently  Lt. Everett Watt  paid a visit  
to his sister, Miss Irma Watt, head of the  
commercial department. It was a sur- 
prise indeed since when last she had  
heard from him, he was "somewhere in  
the Pacific."  
For reasons of military secrecy, Everett  
could not tell a great deal about what  
he had just been through; but it was  
learned that he had taken part in the  
invasion of the Philippines and that he had  
had the unenviable experience of having  
the enemy score a direct hit on his ship.  
We are proud to announce that Everett,  
a dentist in the Navy, received his pro- 
motion to full lieutenant last December,  
a rating that corresponds to that of cap- 
tain in the Army.  
The following excerpts are from a  
letter written by  Pfc. Chester Brooks  to  
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. DeVice:  
"Thank you very much for your  
prayers, especially these past months. I'm  
sure that the praying loved ones at home   

have exerted a more powerful influence  
than they realize. Only eternity will re- 
veal the times when our lives have been  
spared all unknown to us.  
"Every week we meet with our Bel- 
gian brethren for Sabbath School. This  
is often our only service on Sabbath, so  
we make it a good long one. There are  
about 10 Belgians and up to 15 Adventist  
soldiers present each week. There is an  
Adventist major who comes and leads out  
in the services. Every Wednesday we  
have a prayer meeting and study at his  
own unit, where there are about eight  
boys present from his unit who cannot  
attend our meetings in town on Sabbath.  
"We have had our share of winter this  
month. Lots of snow, and it seems that  
a new snowfall comes every time the old  
is all packed and dirty. Outside the camp  
the little children very cautiously throw  
snowballs at us to see if we will , get  
angry at them, but we don't, and they  
seem quite pleased when the soldiers toss  
them right back."  

Sp or t-lites  
Futile, indeed, is any attempt to find  
organized sport on the campus at this  
particular time of the season. Baseball  
isn't quite here—basketball is gone— 
ping-pong is over, with the finals of the  
tournament—and the relaxing gentry 
thither and about much prefer just to 
meander around the campus and marvel  
at the spring green. Even your  
scribbling scribe can find no heart for ex- 
cess exercise. 'Tis the time of spring  
fever, gentlemen, and who cares to be  
moved?  
A few brave souls, however, give  
promise of the coming picnic season of  
sport. Larry Boyd broke out his horse  
shoes the other day and conked a dozen  
ringers. Ray Hindmarsh found the big- 
gest hat in South Hall and started  
threatening store windows across 48th  
street (but the exertion was evidently too  
much—he came down with the mumps   

the next day). The most significant and  
certain sign of spring, however, was Dean  
James' announcement in worship last  
week—"Stay off the front lawn, men;  
we have a fine ball diamond in back of  
the dorm."  
And may we chime in with a warning  
to all class presidents—school picnic isn't  
so far away—you'd better get your ball  
teams organized, and the Seniors are al- 
ready talking about their unbroken string  
of softball victories.

dust to remove to make the building look

you will also notice that the students who  
work in the Administration Building are  
very trim (most of them, at least); they  
almost have to be after continuously  
climbing five flights of stairs, ascending'  
step-ladders to dust Venetian blinds, or  
braving the creaky fifty-year-old ladder

of needing to be wound twice a week.  
But that's a story in itself.  
At present there is a total of about  
290 hours of work being taken in the  
course of Sanitary Engineering at Union  
College—a very profitable course, it must  
be added!
