UNION TO HAVE HOME EC. BLDG. WHITE SPEAKS ON 
SPIRIT OF PROPHECY 
By Dr. E. M. Hause 
We are conscious of the so-
bering fact as we enter the new 
year that the world faces three 
major, urgent problems: control 
of armaments, the present and 
future influence of communism, 
a n d economic reconstruction. 
The following headlines consti-
tute the materials from which 
these three major problems are 
deduced: 
General George C. Marshall 
succeeds James Byrnes as Secre-
tary of State for the United 
States. . . . The Security Council 
of the United Nations meets 
again and debates whether to 
give the question of the control 
of atomic power, or the question 
of general disarmament, priority 
on their agenda. . . . The elec-
tions in Poland return an over-
whelming communist majority 
and the Polish government in-
forms the United States that it 
is her business, not ours, the way 
her elections are conducted.... 
The British have alerted one 
hundred thousand armed men, 
police and soldiers, in Palestine 
to defeat the forces of the in-
famous Stern gang.... Rioting 
in India, dominion status offered 
to Burma, civil war in French-
ruled Indo-China and between 
communists in China, Republi-
can congressional leaders con-
sider taking the authority to 
regulate tariffs from the hands 
of the President where it was 
placed by Congress in 1934. 
Franco completely severed from 
diplomatic connections with the 
United Nations. 
Panic seizes one when scan-
ning the menacing list to world 
peace and stability. Fortunately 
all problems need not be solved 
at once; some of them should 
be solved immediately; but the 
mills of time and diplomacy 
will grind them through slowly 
and, we hope, surely. There are 
no miraculous panaceas for the 
world's many ills and problems 
that have been inherited from 
two major wars and a prolonged 
depression covering a quarter of 
a century. Western nations 
should note carefully that where 
economic discontent is rife there 
communism finds fruitful soil; 
unrest is due less to communist 
propaganda than to deep-seated 
maladjustments. 
S.D.A. Origin is 
Woods Talk 
"The Origin of Seventh-day 
Adventists" was the topic o f 
President Robert W. Woods' ad-
dress last Sunday evening, Jan-
uary 19, when he spoke at the 
Trinity Methodist Church in Lin-
coln. 
One of a series of talks giving 
the historical backgrounds of var-
i o u s denominational groups 
which that church is sponsoring, 
Hause Accepts 
Idaho Position 
Dr. E. M. Hause, associate 
professor of history, has accept-
ed a position with the Farragut 
College and Technical Institute 
at Farragut, Idaho. 
Hause, sponsor of the Inter-
national Relations Club since 
1943, has been active in this type 
of work for the past fourteen 
years. He has been faculty spon-
sor of the Golden Cords the past 
two years as well as being author 
of "This Atomic Age" in the 
CLOCK TOWER. 
In the summers of 1944 and 
1945, Dr. Hause organized de-
nominational materials in the 
college library, and has headed 
community chest and Red Cross 
drives in the college. 
DR. E. M. HAUSE 
The former naval training sta-
tion at Farragut is being expand-
ed to accommodate 10,000 stu-
dents. Hause will be assistant 
professor of the Social Science 
Department. 
Mrs. Hause and Jeanette will 
remain here until school closes 
in the spring. 
We regret that this will be the 
final copy of "This Atomic Age." 
As you go to your new school, 
Dr. Hause, we, the staff, thank 
you for your co-operation and 
interest, and wish you much suc-
cess in your new work. 
the lecture given by Dr. Woods 
served to acquaint others with 
the early beginnings of our work 
as a denomination. 
During the early advent move-
ment within the churches of 
many creeds prior to 1844, the 
hopes of multitudes culminated 
in the disappointment of 1843 
and 1844, Dr. Woods pointed 
out. A number of those sincere 
folks believed that although they 
may have been in error in re-
gard to the interpretation of the 
event, that God nevertheless had 
been leading in a definite man-
ner, he further declared. 
These individuals found that 
what they had been interpreting 
as the second coming of Christ 
was actually the cleansing of the 
heavenly sanctuary, for they had 
been employing the term 
"Cleansing of the Heavenly Sanc-
tuary" as being synonymous with 
Christ's second coming, Dr. 
Woods stated. 
"The fact that Mrs. E. G. 
White received visions from the 
Lord and accepted the respon-
3i1;ility of being a prophetess is 
one of the outstanding landmarks 
in the early history of our de-
nomination," explained Dr. 
Woods. 
He further described the be-
ginnings o f various schools, 
hospitals, sanitariums, and pub-
lishing houses, tracing their 
growth to their present status.

Plans for the Home Econom-
ics building have been submit-
ted to the College Board for its 
study and approval. 
These plans indicate a three-
story building is to be construct-
ed. It will be of masonry, fire-
proof, and will be situated di-
rectly behind the present admin-
istration building. 
A large dining room that will 
seat 600, a banquet hall, a small 
dining room, and utility and 
serving rooms will be located on 
the second floor. Modern labora-
tories, classrooms, and offices of 
the home economics department 
will occupy the first floor of the 
structure. The kitchen, bakery, 
Speech Class 
Presents Program 
The Public Procedure class 
presented the correct and incor-
rect forms of parliamentary pro-
cedure during the chapel period 
in the College Auditorium, Janu-
ary 17. 
Professor Beaven introduced 
the program and the members of 
the class sauntered onto the 
platform. Albert Gerst, Chair-
man, rushed into the room, tried 
to get the attention of the mem-
bers, and announced that they 
were twenty minutes late. The 
purpose of the committee meet-
ing was to bring order out of 
chaos which was achieved when 
the correct parliamentary pro-
cedure was demonstrated. 
In the correct procedure all 
members were on time for the 
meeting and each one addressed 
the chair and recognized before 
speaking. The business of the 
meeting was finished quickly 
and in an orderly manner. 
Professor Beaven concluded 
the program. 
The members of the Public 
Procedure class are: Professor 
Beaven, teacher; Le Roy Al-
bers, Joe Barnes, Sydney Beau-
mont, Howard Birch, Lester 
Birch, Muriel Chenburg, Aur-
thur Finch, Albert Gerst, Jose-
phine Griffin, William Gurney, 
Faye Hendrick, Stanley Peder-
sen, and Eugene Taylor. 
Louise Kleuser 
is Campus Guest 
Miss Louise C. Kleuser, Bible 
Worker's secretary in the Min-
isterial Association of the Gen- 
eral Conference, was a guest on 
the campus from January 12-18. 
She addressed the student body 
at the chapel hour on Wednes-
day, January 15. 
"The greatest work ever to be 
done will soon be done. There 
will be a great outpouring of 
God's Spirit like at Pentecost, 
and thousands will be convert-
ed." She said further that truth 
shall soon triumph and the co-
laborers will triumph with it. 
Many outside the fold now will 
return to the truth. "It is a great 
message, now a whispered one, 
becoming a loud cry. There is no 
soft-pedaling the truth," she de-
clared. 
Miss Kleuser drew many of 
her thoughts from the recent 
book, Evangelism, which she 
spent several months helping to 
compile from the writings of 
Mrs. E. G. White. This book 
places emphasis on personal 
work and includes other phases 
of evangelism. The final chap-
ter portrays the message of the 
loud cry at last triumphant. 
refrigeration rooms, and service 
facilities, all of the latest design, 
will be housed on the ground 
floor. 
Modern in every detail, the 
building's erection will fill a 
long-felt need on the college 
campus. It will not only free ad-
ditional dormitory space in both 
dormitories for the housing of 
the unusually large number of 
students who are coming to col-
lege in these post-war days, but 
will also provide adequate cafe-
teria space to seat them. Our 
present cafeteria is so small that 
it is found necessary to reseat 
the dining room three times in 
order to accommodate them. 
Class Parties Coming 
Saturday Night 
Class parties will be given 
Saturday night, January 25. 
The Seniors will have their 
class party at the Y.W.C.A. En-
tertainment will consist of games, 
marches, and motion pictures. 
Refreshments will be served to 
conclude the evening program. 
The Sophomore Class will 
have a hay-loft party in the 
Union College barn. If all goes 
well and no one falls into the 
pen with the "Union College 
bull," who retires each evening 
just below the hay loft, an en-
joyable evening is expected. 
Games, contests, readings, and 
motion pictures will be the en-
tertainment of the evening with 
refreshments to follow t h e 
games. 
The Freshman class plans 
a program to be given 
in the college auditorium for 
its class members. The Hub of 
Harmony Chorus, a reading, 
skits of the early days of Union 
College, and motion pictures will 
conclude the entertainment of 
the evening. 
Hub of Harmony 
Amateur Winners 
Winning both the chorus 
group prize and the grand prize 
for their rendition of selected 
spirituals, the Hub of Harmony 
singers, composed of: Vertis 
Barnes, Welcome Bryant, John 
Davis Butler, LeCount Butler, 
Andrew Donelly, Frank Hale, 
Arthur Lee Hobby, Roy Mat-
thews, Gaines Partridge, and 
James Valentine, climaxed the 
program of twenty numbers 
which were presented at the an-
nual amateur hour at the Union 
College Auditorium, Saturday 
night, January 11, at 8:00 p.m. 
Prizes were also awarded to 
Carol Thomson, instrumental 
group, for her marimba solo, en-
titled, "Poet and Peasant," by C. 
J. Roberts; to Paul Shakespeare, 
vocal group, for his selection, 
"Tomasso Ratundo," by Geoffrey 
O'Hara; to Carl Watts and Neil 
Rowland, novelty group, for 
"Magic from the Orient," a dem-
onstration of acts of magic; and 
to Shirley Burton, for her rendi-
tion of the reading, "Joey's 
Friend." Approximately 800 
people were in attendance. 
The 500 Seventh-day Advent-
ist Bible instructors have a great 
influence in the homes which 
they visit. Miss Kleuser stated 
that although working from 
home to home is difficult, it is 
the personal work which brings 
a great blessing to the ones who 
are visited and also to the Bible 
instructor. 
Beaven Assistant 
To President 
Professor Winton H. Beaven 
has been appointed Assistant to 
the President of Union College. 
This is a newly created post 
which will require him to take 
complete charge of public rela-
tions. His duties will entail the 
conducting of campaigns for the 
school, the servicing of Lincoln 
and Omaha newspapers and 
radio stations, and acting as field 
representative. 
"It is hoped that through this 
work in the future we may be 
able to provide radio programs 
over the Lincoln stations," Mr. 
Beaven stated. 
Mr. Beaven will continue as 
head of the departments of 
Speech and English during the 
second semester. Mrs. R. W. 
Fowler will be his assistant in 
the Speech department. Mr. J. 
P. Fentzling will join the English 
department staff and will teach 
freshman composition and 
American literature. 
English Department 
Adds New Member 
Professor J. Philip Fentzling 
has been called to become a 
member of the Union College 
English department staff, and 
will arrive here on January 23. 
Mr. Fentzling has been a 
teacher in our schools for many 
years, having taught English at 
the Pacific Union and La Sierra 
Colleges. From 1925 to 1930 he 
was the head of the department 
of English at the Philippine Jun-
ior College, which is located in 
Manila. 
Already holding a Master's 
degree in the field of English, 
Mr. Fentzling has done work 
toward his Doctor's degree at 
both Stanford University and the 
University of Southern Califor-
nia. He comes to Union from 
Long Beach, California, where 
he was engaged as instructor in 
a private school. 
Woods Addresses 
Scouts 
Speaking before a group of 
Scouting officials and friends, 
President Robert W. Woods 
pointed out the possibilities for 
bettering man's attitude toward 
his fellows throughout the world 
in a lecture entitled, "Training 
for World-Wide Brotherhood." 
He delivered the address Tues-
day evening, January 21, at 7:30 
p.m., in the Social Science build-
ing, which is located on the Uni-
versity of Nebraska campus. 
The second in a series of six 
addresses, the lecture was given 
under the auspices of the Corn-
husker Council of the Boy Scouts 
of America. This program, en-
titled, "The University of Scout-
ing," provides individuals with 
an opportunity to join with Scout 
and Cub leaders of Lincoln in 
their search for more information 
relating to work for the increase 
of character-building opportuni-
ties for boys from all strata of 
society. 
To promote a deeper under-
standing of a n d appreciation 
for the background of the Spirit 
of Prophecy and the part Mrs. 
Ellen G. White has played in 
t hi s Advent movement, Elder 
Arthur L. White, Secretary of 
the E. G. White Publications 
Foundation, is conducting a se-
ries of illustrated talks at Union 
College during this week. 
Elder White presented the ear-
ly background of the movement 
in his chapel address to the stud-
ent body on Monday morning, 
January 20. He further explained 
this phase during the evening 
worship period Monday evening, 
when he gave an illustrated 
lecture on the life of Mrs. E. G. 
White. 0 n Tuesday evening, 
Elder White described Mrs. 
White's writings and the part 
they have played in furthering 
our work throughout the world 
field. 
ELDER A. L. WHETE 
Elder White pointed out how 
the visions were given to the 
servant of the Lord, and how 
the light given in these revela-
tions was presented to others. 
During the remainder of the 
week Elder White will discuss 
the question of Mrs. White's 
being influenced by those about 
her, the work of her literary 
assistants; Mrs. White as mother, 
neighbor, and friend; how the 
denomination has been protected 
from false teaching and fanati-
cism by the Spirit of Prophecy 
in the development of our den-
ominational work; our individual 
relationship to the Spirit of Pro-
phecy, and related topics. 
Not only will a large number 
of colored slides be employed to 
picture the various steps out-
lined, but the "Big Bible" which 
Mrs. White held while receiving 
a vision from the Lord, will be 
brought to the college to be 
shown during the Vesper hour 
on January 24. Early documents 
from the publishers' vaults will 
also be displayed. 
Sabbath afternoon a round 
table discussion will be con-
ducted and questions about the 
life and work of Mrs. E. G. 
White and the Spirit of Prophecy 
writings will be answered by 
Elder White, who has presented 
similar series of meetings i n 
many of our churches and schools 
throughout the nation.

UPON BEING ASKED WHY 
My head reeled and my 
hungry lungs cried out for a 
breath of fresh air. Cigarette, 
cigar and pipe smoke curled and 
wreathed lazily forming itself in-
to small cloudlets as if trying to 
show off in the bright rays of 
flourescent lighting. The smoke, 
having always been a source of 
discomfort, today seemed to have 
life in it; for it moved slowly, al-
most deliberately, from the other 
dcsks in the office to mine and 
settled almost as a hood envelop-
la• my head. All windows and 
doors were tightly closed to pre-
-ent the cool, refrigerated air 
from escaping. I seemed to feel 
that I was in the wrong environ-
ment. 
I had been thinking of Lin-
coln, and of Union College in 
particular, for several weeks. 
There was a large map of the 
United States hanging abc--e one 
of the desks and I frequently 
tried to imagine the distan"e be-
tween the Texas coast and far-
off Nebraska, wondering . . won-
dering. The distance on the map 
only succeeded in making me 
feel my own smallness in this 
great country of ours. 
Someone's words, "If every 
Seventh-day Ad-entist would 
conscientiously go to work for 
God, Jesus would come almost 
immediately." or words to that 
effect. came hack to my memory 
and I found myself wondering if 
there were anything that I could 
do. I knew that I wanted a part 
in the Lord's work, but feeling 
that I had very little to offer, I 
was somewhat hesitant. At one 
end there was a job which pro-
vided a fair living, home ties,

item in line and disturbs Betty 
as a meal checker on the girls' 
side. 
When asked what she liked 
she laughingly said, "Anything 
pink, I like radishes too." 
Her hobby is collecting things 
for her scrapbook. 
Marie Stanford shares Betty's 
room with her and takes the 
upper bunk bed. 
Betty is majoring in English 
and plans sometime to be a dean 
of women. 
Betty is from Sioux City, Iowa; 
she says that instead of being 
"Sioux City Sue" she is "Sioux 
City Glew." 
Grace Walker, who is proud 
to claim Cedar Rapids, Iowa, as 
her home, is a roller skate fan. 
She disclosed the fact that when 
the rink was open she was usu-
ally there. 
She likes beans and adores the 
colors of yellow and white. But 
she hates to be embarrassed and 
dislikes people that aren't 
friendly. Perhaps it's because 
Grace is so friendly herself. 
Mischievous children in the 
elementary school are observed 
by Gracie frequently for she is 
taking the elementary teachers' 
course. 
Grace rooms on third this year 
with Naomi Jensen and her aim 
is to fill God's purpose for her. 
Another member of the third-
floor family is Marilyn Jahnke, 
who also is taking the teachers' 
course. She is a very cheerful 
dark-haired mi-s. 
She likes to collect illustrated 
poems and eat lemon pie. She 
acknowledged her fondness for 
teaching. 
This Windom, Minnesota, girl 
who rooms with Carolyn Polk, 
Oh, if I had only studied last month! If only my outside read-
were done: What a time 1 had Christmas! Am I going to en- 
joy vacation! And a thousand more! Living in yesterdays,—or to- 
morrows. 
The toughest job a person can tackle is living in To-day! It 
means quitting things wnen they're over, not starting others un-
titl they've begun, and living right smack in the middle of the 
present moment. It's no use to "beef" at To-day and blubber about 
the "Good old Times," or warm ourselves at old triumphs, or hide 
ourselves in old griefs. That calls for neither courage nor imagina-
tion,—and memories,—they're the perfect excuse and escape, the 
perfect protection for fear and stupidity, for laziness and conceit. 
Any spineless sissy can live in Yesterday,—and most of them do. If 
you live in Yesterday you can enjoy all the advantages of being 
dead without buying a tombstone,—but, of, course, it's a little hard 
on those who have to lug you around. 
And living in Tomorrow is equally soft. Spending one's days 
dreaming or worrying—that's another number one racket for those 
who can't take it now. 
We're always somewhere else, drifting in Yesterday, or dream- 
ing in Tomorrow, but never busy on the job of To-day. I'm trying 
to ask God to help me do the thing of To-day, to give me courage 
to live in the present: the courage to leave my withered laurels 
and my empty graves, my ancient grudges and my rose-wreathed 
"Castles In Spain." It's hard to live as life lives, not leaning back-
ward nor peering forward,—but clutching each moment as if it 
were the last second of time. 
May God teach us all to face the problems of To-day, with the 
thoughts of To-day, in the language of To-day, no matter what 
the cost of sacrifice or humiliation. Only thus can we become an 
eager, growing part of the glorious, living present. 
"Time past is gone, thou canst not it recall, 
Time is, thou bast, improve each portion small. 
Time future is not and may never be, 
Time present is the only time for thee."

friends and the security that 
one feels in his own territory. At 
the other end, Lincoln, there 
were Union College, four people 
whom I knew slightly, a strange 
environment and decidedly not 
least of all in importance, a large 
decrease in income. I wondered 
what effect my attending Union 
College would work upon my 
wife and baby. All sorts of por-
tentous thoughts loomed up be-
fore me (Satan works in Texas, 
too) and I felt inclined to dis-
miss the idea from my thoughts. 
It occurred to me that God 
would not lead us to Lincoln and 
then abandon us. I set the day of 
my resignation and looked for-
ward eagerly to that last day of 
work after which I should no 
longer be forced to breathe into 
my lungs the second-hand smoke 
of various means and brands. 
The decision not having been 
made without communion with 
God, there was no anxiety as we 
boarded the streamliner which 
was to take us as far as Kansas 
City, the first leg of our journey. 
We felt pygmean in the huge 
Kansas City depot, but once a-
board a train carrying us to Lin-
coln all qualms disappeared and 
it was with eagerness that we 
scrambled off the train here in 
Lincoln about two hours before 
sunset one Friday afternoon. 
We were not sure about a 
sleeping place, but a friend of 
ours had found a room for us 
and we joyfully made ourselves 
ready for God's Holy Sabbath. 
Vesper services were attended 
and Union College opened up 
her arms to us. We responded 
joyfully!

cereals, especially oatmeal. Con-
' ceited people hold displeasure 
for Marilyn. 
She is vice-president of the 
"Teachers of Tomorrow" club 
and is secretary of the lower di-
vision K.D.L. 
Marilyn will make a fine 
teacher if something or someone 
doesn't change her mind. 
Miss Frances (Peanut) Cham-
berlain, who in her younger days 
came from Wyoming (and by 
the way talks to the postman 
about the fine weather out 
there) is now a resident of Col-
lege View. 
Frances is known for her wavy 
auburn hair and her lovely con-
tralto voice. When asked what 
her favorite hobby was she ad-
mitted, "I haven't time for one." 
Yes, she is kept busy with her 
school activities. She is a junior 
this year and plans to graduate 
with a degree in Secretarial Sci-
ence. She wants to work in an 
office when out of school. 
She dislikes ice cream but she 
enjoys curry on rice. (Whatever 
curry is.) Frances is a member 
of the A cappella choir. 
Mrs. Agnes Nichols Barnes 
was born in Shanghai, China, 
where her parents were mission-
aries. She came to America when 
eight years old, and now resides 
with her husband in College 
View. 
She is especially fond of a 
chinese dish that is a form of 
chow mein. Her hobby is inter-
ior decorating and collecting ele-
phants. 
Agnes likes pastel shades; 
playing the violin is one of her 
favorite pastimes. 
She plans to major in home 
economics and music. 
Her husband, Joseph, gradu-
ates this year from his minister-
ial course. Agnes revealed, "We 
want to be missionaries to South 
America, if we can."

what's all the noise? What is this, 
a bed-lum? No! it's the indus-
a-ious employees hammering, 
;awing, and assembling furniture 
parts in the funiture factory 
located on the east end of the 
c a m p u s. If you are not ac-
quainted with this particular in-
dustry on the campus, you're 
missing half of your education! 
You'd get a thrill trying to 
work an electric drill, with the 
aid of skilled Gene Cole, one of 
the foreman, or you'd never feel 
blue working with glue around 
Bill Brodie, and you'd soon learn 
how it's done (shaping) with 
Johnny Patterson who whurrs 
them around till they have per-
fect curves (the boards). Land-
ing on a rough spot isn't half bad 
when it happens going through 
the sanding process with Evelyn 
Adams and Lynette Mattheis 
who operate this monstrous 
machine. Iris Miller accom-
plished a real feat when she 
nailed 70 cleats every five min-
utes. 
Want a ride? All aboard with 
Gene Woolever on his push 
truck transferring parts from one 
floor of the factory to another. 
I think- I'll chat awhile with 
the man with a smile, Mr. Hind-
erson, mill foreman - - 
"What are those for?" I asked. 
"Drawers to go into the chests," 
replied Shirley McLaughlin as 
she hammered four boards to-
gether, which to my astonish-
ment did resemble a drawer 
when she had finished.

As the new semester ap-

You'd think it was Christmas 
time the way Doris Zuberbier 
is packing chests and sacking 
knobs to be shipped soon, to 
many places in the United States. 
The sales manager, Mr. De 
Vice is very nice to deal with, 
and his wit and humor can't he 
equaled. He informs me that 
five new super-superior machines 
will soon be placed among the 
equipment already in the pro-
gressive plant. A new glue clamp 
carrier will supplement the old 
machinery. 
That new building annexed to 
the funiture factory is near com-
pletion; it will be used to store 
lumber a n d various funiture 
parts. 
During the war the factory 
had a hectic time trying to con-
tinue operating with lumber such 
a scarce commodity. 
"The sixty workers are not 
shirkers, in fact they are the 
best crew we've had in a long 
time," states Mr. DeVice, "and 
production has been unusually 
high." 
Thank you Mr. Van Syoc, for 
this enjoyable hike, through the 
factory you help manage. 
And to Frances Sundeen, sit-
ting in the office, typing without 
a bit of griping, farewell to the 
furniture factory!

mittee headed by Robert Firth 
is busily engaged working out

plans indicate that the occasion 
will be formal. 
Veterans, in cooperation with

association, are at present work-
ing on an open-house and all-
college program to be presented 
to the citizens of College View 
during the next semester.

Bookworms (and you other 
interested folks), we have some- 
thing extra special for this week's 
column. The new 1947 reading 
course books are now in the col-
lege library. 
I have a confession to make to 
you though—I got so interested 
in the book Keith Argraves, 
Paratrooper 
by George W. 
Chambers that I almost forgot 
to write the column. just see if 
you can lay that book down once 
you've started! It gives "an ac-
count of a Christian medical 
corpsman in the United States 
Army Paratroops during World 
War II, with thrilling stories of 
training, battles, imprisonment, 
escapes, guerrilla warfare, 
hunger, torture, and faithful-
ness to Gdd and man." You 
better come early because I 
imagine the waiting list will 
grow fast! 
Pioneering the Message in the 
Golden West by Harold Oliver 
McCumber, PhD., is another in-
teresting book for the year. It 
tells the advancements made by 
the Seventh-day Adventists in 
California. "Much of the mater-
ial on the growth of the church 
has been obtained from perish-
able sources — dusty records, 
faded newspapers, dim and yel-
lowed diaries, old letters, church 
pamphlets issued on special oc-
casions, and recollections of 
pioneers. The historical settings 
for the narrative have been 
drawn from standard works of 
California historians, the roster 
of which presents a brilliant ar-
ray, for the intrigue of the state's 
history has attracted many a 
scholar of renown, genius in re-
search, wit, sage, and novelist." 
Listen to some of the strange 
things that are told in Luther 
Burbank, Plant Magician by John 
Y. Beatty. "He made a red flow-
er from a yellow one. He made 
stones of plums disappear. He 
caused the desert cactus grow a 
thousand times faster than it had 
ever grown before. He made a 
blackberry white. He made 500 
kinds of cherries grow on one 
tree." Oh, yes, this looks like a 
good chapter—it reads "Nuts 
Grown While You Wait." 
"In every world movement a 
few lives and characters tower 
above their fellows and measure 
up to real greatness. They bring 
unusual strength to the move-
ment with which they are iden-
tified and great inspiration to 
young and old. Standing in bold 
relief, they dominate the out-
standing chapters of the move-
ment's history." Such was the 
life of Arthur Grasvenor Dan-
iells as found in the book Lead-
ers of Men by May Cole Kuhn. 
From January 5-10 the home 
economics department had their 
display in the library. Besides 
books on the subject and charts 
showing material there were 
three dresses on display which 
belong to Mrs. Tommy Royer; 
Edwina Bowen and Rill Peter-
son. 
January 12-17 the English de-
partment was in the spot-light 
at the library. Pictures and a 
chart entitled "A Highlighted 
History of American Literature" 
could be seen on the first floor 
bulletin board. 
From January 19-25 the 
Sneech department have a dis-
play. As you enter the library 
this week, notice for yourself 
interesting things to be seen. 
Theyare placed there for you to 
inspect.

ROBERT FIRTH 
After the close of World War 
II, the 102nd Infantry Division 
Chorus toured in Europe giving 
concerts. Their excursion in-
cluded a trip on the Danube 
river. Robert Firth, secretary-
treasurer of the CLOCK TOWER 
business staff, was a member of 
that chorus, having spent three 
and one-half years in the service. 
A Minnesotan, Bob attended 
Maplewood Academy t h r e e 
years, then came to Union four 
years ago and left for the army. 
While in the service, he was al-
ways anxious to return to Union. 
He passed the time by writing 
and he now has an interesting 
variety of original poems, etc. 
He plays the clarinet, but, to 
quote a friend, is not as tempera-
mental as some musicians. He 
definitely likes choral music and 
enjoys his collection of record-
ings. Bob goes about everything 
quite calmly and does his work 
efficiently. While his scholastic 
standards are high, Bob takes 
time for sports such as baseball, 
basketball and ping pong. He 
has a black Cocker Spaniel 
named, "Nicky." 
Robert is a sophomore in col-
lege, enrolled in the business ad-
ministration course and works in 
the business office. Mrs. Firth, 
the former Morna Lequier, also 
works in the business office. 
Blossom Church 
Born in Lincoln, raised in Lin-
coln, with most of her schooling 
in Lincoln, Blossom Church is a 
true Nebraskan. However, she 
says she has been outside of Ne-
braska. Last summer she ven-
tured to Missouri to canvass, 
while the summer before, she 
canvassed in Wyoming, partly 
by horseback.

Blossom says she is well 
pleased with school this year, 
and enjoys all her subjects, par-
ticularly history. Chemistry is 
also fascinating to Blossom. She 
is a home economics major. She 
is a junior in college, having 
graduated from Campion Acad-
emy. She attended Union Col-
lege Academy three years. 
As for hobbies, "she doesn't 
have 'em for she is too busy buz-
zing around." Buzzing refers to 
working on countless school ac-
tivities, securing good grades 
and, of course, keeping up her 
social life. Her friends say she 
is very versatile, lively. She en-
joys music and plays the French 
horn in the band, piano and 
marimba. Knitting and cooking 
also please her in her leisure mo-
ments.

joined the mad rush for the din-
ner line. That is Bill for you—al-
ways laughing at his own mis-
fortune and always exclaiming, 
"Ach . . .!" This pre-med student 
from Tulsa, Oklahoma, helps to 
spread sunshine among his class-
mates, so they say, for his laugh 
is catching. 
Bill is not given to puttering 
even if he is called, "Put Put." It 
is thought that he derived that 
nickname from a motorcycle 
which really "gets places"; how-
ever, Bill is not noisy as that 
might imply, and it is probably 
more likely that the nickname is 
a derivative of the name, Put-
nam. Be that as it may, Bill does-
n't care for nicknames. 
Bill likes popular portraits. He 
finds his hobby difficult for his 
portraits are so popular they fre-
quently disappear from his room. 
He finds skating a pleasing pas-
time. Strangers interest Bill. On 
a train or bus or any place where 
he encounters folk he has never 
seen, Bill thinks it is fun to figure 
out things about them. having 
spent sufficient time on that, he 
then gets acquainted with them 
and discovers how many points 
he has guessed correctly. In the 
summer his specialties are cold 
watermelon and limeade. He will 
eat onion sandwiches the year 
around. 
Assistant in' the biology labo-
ratory, Bill likes biology more 
than any other subject. 
Bill is treasurer of the colpor-
teur club. He made a wonderful 
success of canvassing last sum-
mer in his home state with part-
ner, Gordon Engen.

SPORTS 
As expected by ever y on e, 
Union's preliminary basketball 
tournament ended just before 
the Christmas holidays in vic-
tory for the very strong Califor-
nia - Wyoming team. Led by 
towering Mike Loewen who 
scored 29 points for the winners, 
this powerful aggregation de-
feated and outclassed the Ne-
braska team in the finals, 66-41. 
With the preliminary tourna-
ment out of the way, basketball 
came into its own as Union's 
favorite competitive sport. Three 
games were played Sunday, Jan-
uary 12. The very first game of 
the tourney forecast a thrilling 
season as the Colts, supposedly 
weak, fought the powerful Lake 
Union quintet all the way to lose 
a close one, 34-27. Had the Colts 
had men to stop Duane Higgins 
and Vincent Agnetta, who to-
gether accounted for 30 of their 
team's 36 points, the outcome 
would have been different. 
In the second game of the day 
the Dakota's team edged out a 
surprisingly strong Southwestern 
five, 33-28. For the winners it 
was Jonietz who led the scoring 
with fourteen points, while 
James Hudgins paced the losers' 
attack with ten points. 
It was reserved for the Sun-
day evening game, however, to 
produce most of the thrills and 
the big upset of the day. A smart, 
classy Minnesota team swept in-
to a big lead at the start of its 
game with the highly favored 
Nebraska outfit and never was 
headed. The Minnesota players 
demonstrated fine ball-handling 
ability and deadly accuracy as 
they piled up a 51-38 margin. It 
was especially interesting to note 
that eight of the nine Minnesota 
men used in the game contribu-
ted to the team's scoring. For 
Nebraska it was Reid and Bar-
ger who played outstanding ball, 
the two garnering 21 and 13 
points respectively. 
Playing a noon game on Tues-
day were the Missouri and 
Academy basketball fives. Fig-
uring to be a close game, this 
one developed into a runaway 
as Missouri won, 43-27, with 
Lloyd Allen, the center, pouring 
in 26 points. Not far behind him 
in the scoring column was Stckos 
of the Academy who chalked up 
18. 
Future Sports Plans 
Not all Union's sporting ac-
tivities are limited to basketball, 
however, for spring is not too 
far away and many fine plans 
for outdoor activity are being 
laid. There is first the matter of 
new tennis courts which have 
been definitely promised for this 
spring by President Woods. Ten-
nis enthusiastics are already 
planning a tennis tournament 
with separate divisions and mix-
ed doubles. 
Plans are also being discussed 
for a soft ball league organized 
on the order of last fall's highly 
successful touch-football league 
Many states and sections hav e 
expressed a desire to form tearns 
for such a schedule. 
In the more immediate fufaire, 
work will be underway to con-
struct a regulation basl.cetball 
court in the gym. This project, 
sponsored jointly by th e Veter-
an's Club and the play ers them-
selves, is under the s npervision 
of Gene Armour. A -court con-
structed lengthwise, across the 
gymnasium floor v /mild do much 
to increase safety- wlnile partici-
pating in this p opulnr sport and

How could we now get along 
without a United Nations? By 
what means and through what 
machinery could such a multi-
plicity of problems be handled. 
Some may consider it unfortun-
ate to have a world organization 
but it would be much more 
unfortunate not to have one at 
the present time.

Morten Juberg: Write a

thi ng like the stock market re-
pcsrts or the number of books in

Grace Walker: Refrain from 
exercising to extremes the 
woman's traditional prerogative. 
Gracie, though, is really quite 
practical in exercise of same. 
One day Charles Reed, Paul 
Shakespeare, and Wendell Car-
penter all had the same idea. 
Wendell got to Gracie's coat

class.

As memory returns to a mind 
lost in meditation on life's pro-
found philosophies and also 
those of Aunt Gertrude, we do 
recall several visiting dignitaries 
who were on our campus. Among 
these we find that from Minnea-
polis came Boyd Angen and 
Lloyd Jackson, students of the 
Mac Phail School of Music. Lil-
lian Mantz visited us from Oak 
Park Academy and Mr. and Mrs. 
Lester Calkins were visited by 
Lester's sister, Mrs. Vera Taylor 
from Denver. 
Also we have on our record 
another departing dignitary. Lt.

Inasmuch as the editor from 
Burton's Bunkhouse ascribed the 
news for the last issue, things in 
those parts are nearly cleaned 
up. However, there remain a few 
bits of juicy gossip worthy of 
discussion. 
Saturday night, January 11 
( before the renowned Amateur 
Program), Homer Douglas was 
the guest of honor in the North 
Hall spread room. Homer was 
one of those unfortunate indi-
viduals to be another year 
younger and because of it was 
consoled with a waffle feed. 
Letha Surdam and Kathryn Wal-
ling were the chief cooks for 
Homer, Edwina Bowen, Made-
lyn Root, Gladys Ross, Warren 
Belk, Gordon Schlenker, Herki-
mer Fumpf, and Bertram Twit-
chell—chief cooks, that is until 
they got hungry. Then Edwina 
and Gordon decided to try their 
domestic abilities and willingly 
volunteered to fix waffles for 
everybody else. What puzzles 
your innocent little reporter is 
why the waffles were all burned. 
I guess it must have been pixies 
or something. 
It seems that recently in 
speech class Merritt Schumann 
was attempting to sell a watch. 
In order that a sufficiently ac-
curate estimate of its value might 
be made, Mr. William Zima ask-
ed the salesman, Mr. Schumann, 
what kind of numbers the watch 
had. "Fotch" replied: "Well, Bill, 
it has the kind of numbers that 
go from one to twelve." 
Jay Lantry, we hear, did an 
excellent (?) (well, he tried any-
way) job of convincing every-
body that sixty cents was not 
too much to pay for an amateur 
program of such high quality as 
was produced at Union College. 
Jay made one little slip, though. 
He forgot to go himself. It's a 
shame you missed such a won-
derful program. And, Jay, it was 
so little to pay for such a won-
derful program. 
We have three great scientists 
in our midst we have discovered. 
The great discovery was made 
upon looking over some recent 
biology papers. 
Bill Lacy deserves great ac-
claim for his discovery of teeth 
in carnivorous plants. Miss Ar-
lea Lippincott should be recog-
nized for the excellent termin-
ology used when she designated 
heat-loving bacteria as "torrid" 
and cold-loving bacteria as "fri-
gid." Last, but not least, how-
ever, is Betty Jeanne Strom who 
tells us that a person weighing 
120 pounds has sixty pints of 
blood. We would like to meet 
this walking blood bank, if such 
is possible. (I'm certainly glad 
that people haven't looked over 
my old papers.)

Walter Page: Wear an up-
sweep hair-do. (If Carolyn can 
do it, why can't Walter?) 
Miss Smith: Just happen to be 
in the reading room when some-
body tells Bob Bainum quite 
audibly to quit running around 
without his shoes on." 
Well, so much for dear Aunt 
Gertrude. She was such a fine 
old lady. She had one bad habit, 
though. She wore black stock-
ings and if she ever saw a "run" 
she would pour India Ink on 
them immediately so people 
wouldn't notice. And so she did 
think she was Cleopatra some-
times. Nobody else did.

"Ye who though you go to col-
lege 
Still sometimes behave like chil-
dren; 
And though history you can 
master 
Would prefer a bit of humor; 
Would prefer life's burdens 
lightened; 
By some stories true and simple; 
Stories from classrooms and from 
moonlight; 
Stories of Cupid's latest con-
quests; 
Jokes about your favorite teach-
er; 
Secrets told us by your room-
mates; 
Campus lore from learned ( ? ) 
sages.

As we sit here and meditate 
upon the vicissitudes of life we 
have decided that the perfect 
mode of life is that of the amoe-
ba; his greatest responsibility is 
that of keeping his contractile 
lac, tole oiled and running and of 
keeping his pseudopodia out of 
the way of everybody else. 
It is with deepest misgivings 
that we beg the apology of Stan-
ey Holmes because we said he 
hadn't spent Christmas at home 
for five years instead of four. To 
show our generous attitude we 
won't send Mr. Holmes our usual 
bill for the publicity given him. 
However, it seems that instead 
of the usual bi-weekly travelogue 
furnished exclusively by the Bur-
ton County Bureau for the fur-
nishing of tips to assorted and 
asundry tipsy travelers, we have 
uncovered the dying desires of 
Aunt Gertrude Gaspipe. It seems 
that Aunt Gertrude's last wishes 
were scrawled somewhat to this 
effect:

Union College is filled to overflowing this year and it appears that the en-
rollment will be even larger next year and perhaps the following. Old Union 
wishes to be better prepared to take care of her students for next summer and 
the school year of 1947-48, so we are asking all prospective students to fill out 
the enrollment census blank. Please send it to the Dean's office at once. The 
census blank is not to be understood as an application blank but an indication, 
as far as you know at present, that you plan to be in Union at the indicated 
periods. Applications are now being accepted weekly for 1947-48. An early 
application is desirable in order that both room and teaching facilities may be 
provided for all who wish to attend. It may be necessary to limit applications be-
fore the summer is over. If you plan to attend, send for an application blank and 
fill it out. Return at once.
