ORCHESTRA IN CONCERT J Union College Picnic Corning (we hope) tor rr Garden Party May 11 VOL. XXII UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, MAY 2, 19-17 NO. 14 TRENDS OF Hare to Work on THE TIMES Doctors Degree Services Held for Music Takes Accent William Curtiss By ARTHUR FINCH CHINA COALITION In a move that the West hoped was a real strengthening democ- racy, Chiang Kai-shek agreed to a coalition government in which his Kuomintang party was, to have 17 seats on the State Council and the other political groups 12, split three ways. The communists were of- fered seats under conditions that no one expected them to accept. Chang Chun, former governor of the province in which Chunking is located, was nominated Premier by the Generalissimo and was accep- ted without a dissenting vote. PALESTINE QUESTION Osvaldo Aranha, former Brazil- ian Foreign Minister, was chosen president of the extraordinary ses- sion of the U. N. General Assembly, called to deal with the Palestine situation. A British spokesman said that Britain will accept any ruling made by the U. N. but that she cannot be expected to implement it alone; the U. N. must arrange that. PROSPERITY PRESCRIPTION Bernard Baruch, speaking before the South Carolina legislature, pre- sented his umpteenth plan. This one would, he think s, cure the economic ills of the U. S. He pro- posed a 44 - hour week with no strikes or layoffs. There is no question but that production is needed. Production would be especially effective in bringing prices down if labor was unable to obtain wage raises that kept pace with price raises. A point would shortly' be reached where consumer demand would fall off and the dizzy descent down the spiral stairs begin. There is no point therefore, if prosperity is our goal, in a plan that provides for price reductions which does not at the same time either leave in effect the present "system" A of maintaining mass buying power or provide something better and more equitable. Please, no sagacious remarks that a little deflation wouldn't hurt anybody. What H. L. Mencken said of one glass of beer might also be said of a' little inflation or de- flation: namely, that it is a purely hypothetical quantity. HEI,GOLAND "We're on our way to Helgoland a b to get the Kaiser's goat." So ran a ditty of World War I. A sixth of that little North Sea island—sub pens of World War II—was sent splashing into the sea last week by 6,400 tons of British explosives. The Kaiser was only five-sixths right when he called it his unsink- able battleship. BRITISH BALANCE BUDGET Chancellor of the Exchequer Hugh Dalton presented before the House of Commons a budget ex- pected to net over a billion dollars above expenses for the coming year. In an effort to save dollar credit in the U. S., tobacco taxes were upped 50 per cent, resulting in 65 cent cigarettes and a run on chemists (drug stores) for silver nitrate preparations to . aid smokers in breaking the habit. (Continued on page four) MILTON D. HARE Professor Milton D. Hare, head of the physics department, has been granted a fifteen month leave beginning in June to work on his Doctor's degree at Stanford Uni- versity. Mr. Hare will do research on a traveling wave tube which is a high - frequency amplifying tube. The five quarters which he will spend at the university will com- plete the residence requirements for the degree. Work on the tube is sponsored by the Navy department due to the scarcity of tubes in micro-wave frequency range. Professor Hare, together with Dr. F. H. Crawford, head of the phy- sics department of Williams Col- lege, invented the "Donutron," a transmitting tube for use in radar jamming transmitters. HENCEFORTH Listen closely while we preview some of the closely guarded pro- grams and other events coming in the next fortnight.

A large class of Master Com- rades will be invested on May 10 during the M. V. hour while the honor students of Union will be given due respect in a honors con- vocation on May 12 during chapel. Soft lights, music. the aroma of lilacs, and the familiar strains of "Springtime"—all of this means one thing, the annual garden party sponsored by the North Hall'ers. Josephine Griffin heads the pro- gram committee and Jane Sorenson is in charge of decorations. Music will be under the direction of Maryon Jung, Merlene Ogden and Lorraine Davis. On Monday eveninc.r. May 12, the cafeteria will be the scene of the mother-daughter banquet. Betty Jane Meier is program chairman and Rolleen Betts will direct the decoration committee. Funeral services were held in the College View church on Monday, April 28 for William Curtiss who died Saturday after a brief illness. Elder J. A. Buckwalter pointed to the resurrection morning as the hope for those who mourn. "When morning comes, night is over," he said. Special music was furnished by Jeanette Hause, the Gospel Heralds Quartet and Merritt Schu- mann. Pallbearers were Harold Sample, Eldon Christy, Pete Roehl, Hilmer Basel, Merritt Schumann and Gor- don Tohm. Mr. Curtiss, or "Bill" as he was better known, was born in Denver, Colorado in 1917. He attended high school in Ramah, Colorado and served in the medical corps of the army for three years. Survivors are his wife, Frances, a brother, four sisters and his par- ents. The CLOCK TOWER joins the many friends in extending deep sympathy to the bereaved. Plan WORK SAVE ! Without further ado, let's browse through the files of LOOKIN' AROUND. . . .

Perhaps at this season of the year you haven't time for editorials. You're thinking of the picnic that "was to have been," of the last pages of outside reading, those term papers, or perhaps those "honor tests." However, with it all, you know that school for another year will soon be at a close. Perhaps it has been your first year at college. Have you found here everything you had hoped for? If you're disappointed, just remember that school life brings results comparable to what we put into our everyday living. On the other hand, you may be completing your college work, and looking forward to clasping in your hands that coveted sheep skin. Or perhaps you are finishing a course preparatory to continuing study in your chosen profession. For you life is just beginning; new vistas will open to you. True, you have already worked hard and diligently, and your friends are proud of you and your successes. But the doors to service are open wide for you to enter. Every day will bring you new opportunities— yes, and new problems. But with them will come courage, strength, vigor, and a sense of happiness in serving God. He is waiting for you to give your best years—yes, even days and hours of service to Him to hasten His soon coming. You may be one of the many who will be turning toward Union again this fall, or even remaining here this summer. Aren't you glad that you can make tomorrow, next week, and next school year better? that you may seek pleasure and satisfaction in making first things first, know- ing then that all other things of importance will be added? But we still have a few weeks to redeem ourselves, don't we? A few more times to speak a kind word to that discouraged friend, whether he be a student or teacher; a few more times to do something extra for God, and to do that something, not for the remuneration it brings, but "for love."

They Earn While They Learn By NOBEL CARLSON People get paid for what they do. At least, so the theory goes. Any- way, people get paid. Even monitors. If you should come to North Hall of an early morning to see your— if you have business at North Hall in the morning; you will find Carol Thomson or Donna Scott ready to help you, or if it's Sunday morning it will be Mary Macre. In the afternoon Inez Myers is on duty. Then during study period you will find Janette Kemper or Irene Timothy at the main desk. On second floor Eileen Engeberg monitors the north wing and Ethlyn Orr the south. On third it's Gevene Rosebaugh, north, and Margaret Steeves, south. Gladys Liane must be a good monitor since she is the only one on fourth. Or maybe fourth is extra well behaved. At night there is always someone awake. Evelyn Wilmoth starting off the watch from 10:30 p.m. till 1:30 a.m. Then Pearl Hecox until 3:30, and Wilma Conquest until 5:30 in the morning. In the girls' Annex we find Genevieve Dickerson in charge with Lillie Schumann as her assistant on second. Oh, yes. Miss Rees has a secretary, Betty Lou Williams. SOUTH HALL 'Starting from the roof down we found Robert Beldon on top as monitor for fourth. But on third we refuse to commit ourselves. It's either Gordon Engen or Bruce Bacon, or both. ( Russell says neither.) Second is a pretty good floor, that is, if Gene would leave Russell Shaw- ver's table alone. At the main desk Paul Joice starts out the morning, with DeWayne Lamb in the after- noon. And who should have the evening shift but Morten Juberg. Incidentally, Mort, what do you do when you come back from a trip, dead tired, and find a sign on your door, saying, "FUMIGATING—KEEP OUT"? There are three on the night shift, Jay Lantry from ten to one; Roland Rayburn from one to three; and Gerald Harvey from three un- til Paul Joice. Then there's Bob Mc- Manaman. What do you do, Bob? CASTLE In case you didn't know, Byron Blecha is in charge of the Castle, but Merritt Schumann is monitor during study period. The usual night watch is maintained among Henry Brodie, Kent Dickinson and William Brodie. There are two annexes for the men, one on 51st Street under the direction of Mike Loewen, and one on Lowell with J. G. Sawyer in charge. OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR Our very capable full-time assistant to Miss Anderson is Mrs. Esther Berthelsen, graduate of '45. Others on the staff are: Aletha McGirr, who will be full-time assistant next year; (Next year is only about four months off, did you know that?) Mrs. Violet Lewis, who takes care of recording our grades; and Jane Sorenson, chapel clerk. Hmmmm! Gevene : Rosebaugh is filing clerk, and Rocelia Kegley is general clerk. P.S.—Francis Knittel doesn't get paid to answer the telephone—he just borrows it. OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT Mrs. Virgene Buck is secretary to Dr. Wood. And the assistant to the president, Mr. Beaven, is assisted by Branka Bogdanovich. Quite an "assistam," don't you think? But we like it. OFFICE OF THE BUSINESS MANAGERS What Margaret Steeves and Maxine Leonhardt due but usually there is something due-ing. OFFICE OF THE DEAN Helping our very busy Dr. Ogden are Mrs. Goldie Calkins and Ermalee Garner. BUSINESS OFFICE And do we mean business! Secretary to Mr. Keene is Kathryn Wall- ing. Eleanor Engeberg takes all our cash, while Mrs. Betty Jean Hill checks up on whether we've been working or not. Now for the bookkeep- 11 + ing; Audra Ching does all the journalizing. On the student ledger are Madelyn Root and Louesa Peters. Vivian Birden does the veterans' ledger and Doris Berlin the industries ledger. Robert Firth cares for the invoices- payable ledger, and Mrs. Morna Firth the general ledger. The filing clerk Z. is Bonnie Grogan. That's what we call a real office force. Our sales ladies in the hook store are Amy Hegle and .Ruth Dovich. They're doing a good business, too. PLACEMENT BUREAU Hey, Seniors, did you know there was such a place? It's under the direction of Mr. Bresee and Miss Watt; Mrs. William Napier is secretary. Menuet .r. 5 we don't know, f By LORRAINE DAVIS He who loves life laughs best. That is why Carolyn Beckner, CLOCK TOWER reporter, laughs so heartily, and so often; she enjoys life. Now that it is spring, she can hardly wait till summer when she will be home a little while to "put- ter"with flowers and be out-of-doors most of the time. Then, too, she is looking forward to a trip east this summer. Every summer for several years Carolyn has visited some section of the U.S. and has brought back pennants from var- ious places. She hopes this summer to see many of the historic spots of which she has read. For the most enjoyable way to to spend her time, Carolyn would choose a picnic near a lake.

DeWayne Lamb, CLOCK TOWER re- porter, is one of Union's many cam- eramen, who are constantly on the watch for more flash bulbs, and scenes to snap. DeWayne uses his camera more than his trumpet, for the camera yields more interesting results. However, he keeps plug- ging away at his trumpet. He'll take both with him as well as his stamp collection when he canvasses in Minnesota this sum- mer. That won't be too far from home, which for DeWayne is Go- bles, Michigan. He hopes at the end of the summer to go to the 1947 Youth's Congress. DeWayne is a freshman enrolled in the business course. He is a desk clerk in South Hall. He says the army took him "trav- eling" for nearly four years. Before that he attended Gobles Junior Academy and Adelphian Academy, both in Michigan. At the latter he made his first acquaintance with the Culvers and Miss Whitfield. At one time he was employed in a hospital and enjoyed his work there. Right now, his ambition is to finish college.

Then I knew that it was the pigeons that reside on the eaves and roof of South Hall. Our pig- eons set a bad example to the stu- dents of Union College. There they were sitting up all night. Spring is here. With growing warmth and lengthening days pig- eons, along with all the other team- ered creatures on our campus, are thinking about nesting. All winter, we have seen them idly sitting on the roofs of the buildings. Now the scene has changed. Flights become shorter, and the business of choos- ing mates and selecting nesting sites occupies their greatest inter- est. Pigeons mate for life. The cock —struts about with cooing, swelling his neck to display a brilliant array of iridescent colors, tail dragging the floor. The hen seems uncon- cerned but must take notice, for soon a choice is made, and then off the pair go to set up housekeeping. As the title suggests, pigeons are a lot like people. Some are bullies, some weak. Some are thrifty and hardworking, others lazy and in- different. When the squabs first hatch, they are blind and naked; and like babies, they must be fed. Both par- ents secrete the so-called "pigeon's milk," which is regurgitated. They grow fast and at two weeks are well feathered. About this time the mother loses interest in them and the father takes up the responsi- bility of feeding them until they are old enough to be independent. Sometime when you walk over for a meal at the cafeteria take notice of our feathered friends, the pigeons, who live atop South Hall. They really are not a nuisance as some people claim. They are in- teresting neighbors to have around. Besides, they have seniority over all of us because those pigeons, with succeeding generations, were living up there under those old eaves be- fore you or I ever thought of com- ing to Union College. :•1411•• ,, MMO. .1.1.1.•f I •IM. 14Em• ,..m•••4 •••=1. 41•MO Hornung Hardware Company 3923 So. 48th Tel. 4-1312 A note from Annie Laurie Brooke, '10, states: "I am now prin- cipal of our junior high school here at Canton, Georgia, and have been for three years.

From a letter from Helen Schwartzkopf, who is teaching school in Woodward, North Da- kota, we quote: "Teaching school is the most fascinating, interesting, versatile, exciting and adventurous profession I have ever had the hon- or of entering." Future teachers, take note. Visitors on our campus last week end included former students Mer- cedes England, Kenneth Fletcher, Mildred Van Scoy and Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Barker. ( Mrs. Barker was formerly Evelyn Prussia.) WELCOME BRYANT and JOE BUT- LER, who clean tables in the dining room are hunting for the culprit who rips her napkin into little shreds each meal.

PAME Well, it's about that time again; so before I have another lapse into that blissful and lethargic condi- tion known to observers as spring fever, let's see what's new about the campus. There really hasn't been anyone around on the campus to make news lately. I guess I should set up headquarters over at the Chat-n- Nibble. Which reminds me, some- one asked HJORDIS GRUNDSET if the place was run by Mr. Chat and Mr. Nibble. Anyway, WENDELL CAR- PENTER and BUD CHRISTENSEN were getting dishpan hands while EI- LEEN TENNY jerked sodas. BOB HAMILTON was assisting in the cooking department. Since the last issue where I sug- gested that DELORES FFurz was really "beamin," one of my devoted readers has suggested that she looks rather "be-Willard," too!

Mem- bers from our group included JIM- MY VALENTINE, ARTHUR HOBBY, ANDREW DONNELLY, VERTIS BARNES, ROY MATTHEWS, WEL- COME BRYANT, JOE BUTLER, and HENRY WISEMAN. Frank Hale, a student here last year and now tak- ing dentistry at the University, is the director. Sunnydale Academy was hon- ored with a visit from a group of singers and readers from our fair college last week end. Those ac- companying Mr. Beaven and Dr. Ogden were a quartet (WALLACE FULLER, LOWELL BARGER, TOM THOMPSON and RAY PEI.TON) TRENDS (Continued from page one) ECONOMY? The House Appropiations Com- mittee's ax came down on the 47- 53 per cent line. The smaller of the pieces was ear marked for Krug's Interior Department. The larger piece went into the "savings" bar- rel. Mutterings of penny-wise and pound-foolish were heard here and there, especially among conserva- tionists and western Republican Congressmen, who thought that their political chances were being sacrificed unduly in the party's economy drive. TO TAHITI After World War I Charles Nor- doff and James Norman Hall took up residence on Tahiti to get away from it all and to write. Currently Norwegian zoologist Thor Heyer- dahl is outfitting in Peru a balsa- log raft for a journey from Peru to Tahiti to test the theory that such voyages in Inca times account for many common elements in Polyesian and early South Amer- ican culture. Many of those en- gaged in the project were members of the Norwegian underground. 15c BOOST With the exception of the tele- phone business, the 15 cent per- hour increase granted by G. M. to the C.

DICK and ELDER BRE- SEE visited Sunnydale on Monday and spoke during the chapel exer- cises. WENDELL WALL took that new "Fleetline," MARION LARSON, `PAT CARTER, GEORGE LARSON, BILL ZIMA, and MRS. VERNON EMMER- SON to Minneapolis last week end; while Jim DAVIS went to his home in Iowa and DALE APPLEGATE to his at North Platte. PHILIP CHIAN PEK NGUI will take a paid vacation this summer as assistant leader of a senior scout expedition from the Cornhusker Council of Boy Scouts of America. The expedition will be a canoe trip on the Minnesota ( that's in the Northern Union) lakes ending in the Great Lakes, being about a four hundred mile trip. NGUI was select- ed from a great number who ap- plied. Some campaign-minded students spent last Sabbath in Sioux City, presenting the music for the church services, M.V. meeting in the after- noon, and a secular program in the evening. Those spending the day thus were: BLOSSOM CHURCH, GRACE WALKER, ALVIN BRASHEAR, DUANE GREEN, Mr. and Mrs. TOM The Washington State Evergreen says that the next time your profes- sor mentions how busy he is, re- mind him of the duties of a school- teacher in 1661. At that time they acted as court messengers, served summons, conducted ceremonial services of the church, led the Sun- day choir, rang the bell for public worship, dug the graves, took charge of the school, and performed numerous other occasional duties. And not only that, but Adam Roe- landson, one of the first school- teachers in the colonies, took in washing on the side.—ACP A to or at the University. However, she asked her newly acquired chauf- feur to stop at a bookstore. The purpose—to buy a comb. Members of the senior class were guests Monday night in the science ball at a "school for gifted children" sponsored by DR. AND MRS. MARSH. The social was in the form of a progressive party with FLOYD Scorn, MARY KAY Woons, and MERLENE OGDEN assisting in the different sections. One surprise for all was the chil- dren's story hour. MRS. MARSH had written to the parents and gained interesting notes about each sen- ior's childhood. According to MARY MACRE, only ministers' wives and old maids wear their hair in waves; at least that was her opinion before she came to Union. The expression "ministers' wives' waves" has be- come a byword in North Hall as the girls ask to get their hair fixed. Carl Watts has been awarded first prize in the recent Union Col- lege sign contest sponsored by the Alumni Association. Final plans for the marker will be approved at the annual Alumni meeting to be held June 1 and con- struction will begin on it this sum- mer. New sidewalks have been con- structed on the campus. The park- ing space north of North Hall will become a flower bed and a walk is being made from there to the Col- lege Press. Another walk connects the library walk with the one com- ing from the dairy building arid laundry. To many sports-minded Union- ites the big question mark still is the construction of the oft-prom- ised tennis courts. Your columnists have definite assurance that this project will get under way within a week. The contractor states that the only thing now holding up work is the weather. He has fur- ther declared that the courts should be completed and ready for play within two weeks of the actual starting of construction. Another table tennis tournament is under way, and, as usual, Bill Zima, LaVerne Hunter and Mal- colm Campbell appear to be the ones to beat. This trio should not have too much trouble reaching the semi-finals, barring upsets by such entrants as Jay Lantry and Olaf Hove, either of whom is cap- pable of taking top honors if the leaders should slip a little. It looks as if Union's intramural sports program is going to end with another interesting series of games. Both the touch-football league and the basketball tournament have produced an abundance of good play and from the looks of the soft- ball team line-up we are in for an exciting time. We note with inter- est too that most of the games will be played at 5:30 p.m. This is more convenient for the student body which found it almost impos- sible to attend the morning and noon games of the basketball tournament. The following is the list of teams playing: Dakotas, Blue Jays, Missouri, Minnesota, Academy, Cosmos, Colorado-Kansas. The entire schedule of games will be posted in the Ad building and the gym.
