4 tar rr VOL. XX UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN 6, NEBRASKA, OCTOBER 27, 1944 � NO. 2 BALL DEVOTION WEEK LED BY ROBBINS CAMPAIGN GOAL 2700 SUBS "Is heaven and all that it takes to get there worthwhile?" With this question Elder Leon Robbins, pastor of the St. • Loius, Missouri, church, opened his studies here Friday evening for the Week of Prayer. "Is heaven real?" he then asked the thoughtful student body. As proof that it is, he quoted John 14:2, showing that a place is being prepared for those who serve Christ. The third question, "Will heaven be interesting?" was followed by a discus- sion of the many fascinating things the redeemed will be able to do. Travel, as- tronomy, science, music,—whatever the .1 interest on earth may be, it will find its truest expression in heaven. "How can a young person make sure of heaven?" This concluding question for the first study served as an introduction to he meetings which followed. The morning chapel periods Elder Rob- bins devoted to fundamental problems and basic instruction concerning the Christian life. The evening services were a series on the lives of exemplary Bible characters such as Daniel, Paul, Caleb, and unnamed but Godly and influential women. Class periods were shortened so that prayer bands could meet immediately following chapel each day. The presence and interest of Mrs. Rob- bins during the week was also appre- ciated.

November 10 Chapel, Mr. Tarr Vespers, Mr. Cadwallader South Hall View The Men of South I lall are entering into the annual Clock Tower campaign JULIUS KORGAN with the spirit that it takes to put a campaign across. With 2700 subs as our school goal, it will take more than the work of the men to obtain success 'so we trust that North Hall won't let us down. We are genuinely interested in seeing another successful campaign at Union. The girls may have won the trophy last year, but if they want it again they will really have to work for it. South Hall will see to it that the winner de- serves the prize. COLPORTEUR GROUP CONVENES Alpha Tau Sigma, the Colporteur Club, was organized on October 11 and will hold regular weekly meetings throughout the school year. The club name means "Messengers of Salvation." Elder C. G. Cross, Central Union pub- lishing agent, acted as chairman during the initial meeting of the club. Candi- dates for the various offices were nomi- nated from the floor. Those elected were: president, Elmer Jackson; vice president, Ed Koenig; secretary, Eileen Mayberry; treasurer, Muriel Chenburg; and publici- ty manager, Julius Korgan. The first regu- lar meeting of the club was held Wed- nesday, October 25. Everyone interested in colporteur work is invited to attend subsequent meetings of the group. Christensen Injured In Lab Explosion Mr. John Christensen, chemistry depart- ment assistant, received serious face and eye injuries Tuesday afternoon when a laboratory experiment he was performing ended in a premature explosion. The (Continued on Page 2) "Subs Will Sink 'em" "They won! They won! The girls—they always win," so says the Spirit of '44, and this refrain will prove to he more than empty worc's on the closing night of the CLOCK TOWER campaign. How can the girls possibly lose with officers in command such as Lieutenant ( j.g.) Evelyn Beebe, and Ensigns Jerry England, Virgene Westermeyer, Elaine Skinner, Carol Kvinge, Laurie Martin, Jean Patzel, and Mildred Christensen? The girls have had the cup in their possession this last year, and they know MURIEL CHENI3URG that it will take a lot of hard work to keep it; but "North Hall Subs will sink 'em again." $35,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS Checks amounting to $35,000 were distributed in scholarships to 90 students who gathered on the chapel platform Wednesday, October 11. C. G. Cross, in charge of the exercises, introduced the publishing representatives from the General, Union, and Local Conferences. Elder Blundell of the General Con- ference told how canvassing develops characteristics of a good conference lead- er, especially in meeting people and in managing finances. Students who canvassed during the summer were represented by Hilda Fern Remley and Gerald McHenry, who re- lated several incidents from their work. "The value of the colporteur work cannot be measured in dollars," said President Cossentine, "for the spiritual strength gained is far above money." As Elders Gerrard and Cross distribu- ted the checks, they were happy to state that a very large percentage of the Union College students who had can- vassed in their territories entered school this fall with full scholarships. Village Optimism Once again we students of "Dear Old Union" are out to do a job and do it well. CHARLES SEITZ Campaigns are good for us; they give us something to think about besides our tedious term papers, terrible tests, and odoriferous outside reading. They also help keep up our civilian morale. But there's just one unfortunate thing about this campaign. We village students know that you dormitory students are so used to winning this annual battle that you seldom ever consider our team as a threat. We sincerely hope you won't be too chagrined or crestfallen when we modestly accept the cup. For with all the enthusiastic village students of former years, plus all the dormitory leaders of last year who have moved into the village this fall, we can't help winning! Favorite Quartet Entertains The outstanding memory of the cam- pus this week is that of the Southernaires as they sang, October 22, before an audience of 1500 in the College Audi- torium. Most popular of the 30 numbers pre- sented by the Southernaires during the two-hour program were the spirituals and "Beautiful Dreamer," which cli- maxed a Foster Medley. The Southernaires concluded with a scene from the Weatherbeaten White- washed Church, as given for the last fifteen years on their Sunday morning program. The Lord's Prayer, and the Twenty-Third Psalm, beautifully blended with words admonishing the listeners to be tolerant of all races, faiths, and will long be remembered throughout the halls of Union College. 0 0 0 0 "Life is a grindstone which either wears you out or sharpens you according to the stuff you are made of." Oct. 23 to Nov. 15 With air-raid sirens shrieking and "ancient" ruins yielding up strange treas- ure, the Clock Tower campaign staged its official opening during chapel Mon- day, October 2.3. A $20 cash prize and other rewards were displayed by Orvin Fillman, cir- culation manager, as he explained the specifications of the campaign. Following trumpet fanfare Mr. Fillman introduced in turn each of the subsequent speakers. Josephine Griffin, editor, addressed the group from the open "Clock Tower" of miniature replica of the college build- ing. She pointed out the fact that more subscriptions would make a better paper possible, and gave the simple formula "Write Letters" as the secret of cam- paign success. Village leader Charles Seitz appeared rcxt, speaking confidently for his group, whom he humorously classified as "mar- ried, unmarried, and pre-married." A South Hall skit preceded Julius Kor- gan's pep talk. The Clock Tower in a fox hole was presented by Mike Loewe') and Olaf Hove. Sound effects made the situation realistic, but the "bomb" was timed a little slow and did not go off till Mr. Mershon was speaking. After Muriel Chenburg's "five-point speech" the girls enacted the excava- tion, about 500 years hence, of ruins of the present boys' dormitory. Rare speci- mens resembling the famous soybean and a chocolate-frosted roll were found; but much more startling was a skeleton, identified as that of one Elmer Jackson, which hauntingly moaned, "They won! The girls—they won! They always win." James Mershon, business manager, supervised the distribution of stationery and supplies. In addition to the $20 cash prize which will be awarded the person who solicits the largest number of subs, there is a satin-cover quilt to be given as second prize, a bedspread for third prize, book- ends for fourth prize, and a desk lamp for the highest number of letters written. KRAMER FIRST UNIONITE KILLED IN ACTION Lieutenant Henry Harold Kra- mer, 26, of Scottsbluff was killed in action in the South Pacific Sept. 8, according to navy depart- ment notifications. Lieut. Kramer, a navy flier, was in command of an air squadron in the Pacific theatre. Three times he was shot down,—once by the Japs at sea, when after he had been missing nine days, he was rescued from an island. In September last year, after 14 months in the Pacific, he returned to America, where he was placed EGEnninand of a newly organized squadron which left last February for the Pacific area. Lieut. Kramer was a student at Union College in 1936, '38, and '41. The college expresses its sympathy to Mrs. Kramer, his mother, and 4sKrer-et over the untimely death of Henry, the first Unionite to pay the supreme price in the war effort.

It was most refreshing. The critical fault-finding atti_nde that one sometimes finds among our youth was conspicuous by its absence. I think I can tru,hfully say that I ha\ e never found a more repre- sentative group of students and teachers anywhere. To the teachers I extend my congratulations; to the students I say, keep up the good work; and to the; parents, send us more of these price- less promising SeN ench-day Ad,'emist youth. I was reminded anew of that statement in the book Education, p. 271, "With such an army of workers as our youth, rightly trained, might furnish, hew soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon- coming Saviour m:g1-0- � -ri(.(.1 to the whole world!" —Leon Robbins I Shall Qo Quietly I shall go quietly Where the meadow lies, To where tall green trees Reach to deep blue skies. I shall go quietly When the sun is low, For ere night comes, this I know That God is very near to earth, And so, I shall go quietly. I shall go quietly ere the set of sun For this I know, ere day is done, God touches earth with fire divine, And blesses mankind with His love sublime! I shall go quietly ere daylight cease, While God touches earth with his peace, sweet peace. I shall go quietly While the heavens are bright, Ere God wraps the earth in slumber And in night. —Marlys Plinke Owen Band Boasts Big Beginning The blare of trumpets—the roll of drums—stirring hard mus:c is heard from the gymnasium each Thursday night when the Union College Band rehearses new numbers ranging from snappy marches to majestic overtures. This year marks the beginning of the hand as an organized unit. Under the able leadership of Mr. Lauri zen it is growing in membership; and with definite DELMEIt HOLBROOK plans for much-needed new instrumenta- tion, it is established es a permanent or- ganization at Union College. Officers elected at the October 2 meet- ing are the following: president,' Delmer Holbrook; vice president, Betty Ann Christensen; secretary, Carmen Jean Schlotthauer; librarian, Harriette Sherard; Olaf Hove and Julius Korgan serve as committee members. Various social func- tions to take place during the year are being planned by the committee. We Entertain "Open night can be fun!" was the gen- eral opinion of most students after an en- joyable evening at one of the dozen entertainments Saturday night, October 14. In the gymnasium hot potato relays, table games, and skating entertained the large group of students who sought recreation there. Forty mirthful voices rang out from the old administration building as the young married couples upset the fruit- basket and meowed like "poor pussy." The spread room and various village homes were open for several private parties. Academy Investment A hit of determination, inspiration, and talent on the part of Union College Academy students enabled them to turn in over 825.00 for Sabbath School investment as a result of their program October 15. Talent was displayed in a half-hour musical prograrn which was followed by the motion picture, "South of the Bor- der," prese ted i i the college auditorium. CHRISTENSEN INJURED (Continued from Page 1) sodium-metal experiment of the Elemen- tary Chemistry class was being carried on nut-of-doors because of the dangerous nature of the elements involved. Immediately following the explosion Mr. Christensen as rushed into the laboratory, where he was given first-aid treatments by Dr. Guy Jorgensen, Chem- istry instructor, and Captain Il. H. Hill of the Medical Cadet Corps. Mr. Christensen was treated by Dr. Black, eye specialist in Lincoln, who re- ported that the extent of the injuries could not yet be determined. It is expected, however, that his vision will not be per- manently impaired. Correction Correction: Professor C. C. Engel is now beginning his 40th year at Union College instead of the 27th, as stated in the Clock Tower Oct. 13. Olson to Edit GOLDEN CORDS JUNIUS OLSON The staff of the "Golden Chords", the Union College annual, has been elected for the year 1944-45. Junius Olson, senior theological student from Bourbon, Miss- ouri, will head the staff as editor-in-chief. Muriel Chenburg, sophomore from Colo- rado, is our associate editor. The assis- tant editor, Mrs. Coramae Thomas, comes to the college from San Antonio, Texas. Other officers for the "Golden Chords" are Willietta Weller, roster editor; Joe Barnes, art editor; Rill Peterson, assistant art editor; Herbert Hill, photographer; Elmer Herr, president and business mana- ger; and Gerald McHenry, advertising manager. \Vith the opening of the school year great transformations were noticeable on the fifth floor of the administration build- ing. Replacing the narrow hallway which connected the various practice rooms, there is today a spacious lobby which gives out a pleasing and restful atmos- phere. In keeping with the spirit of pro- gress so characteristic of Union College today, the whole floor plan has been re- arranged, allowing for more rooms and greater convenience. The office formerly occupied by Pro- fessor Engel has been converted into the main classroom, as it is most remote from the practice rooms. At the head of the stairs is the newly constructed studio of the director of the department, Professor Lauritzen. Herein will he found a new Mason-Hamlin piano recently purchased at a cost of over $1000. Other furniture and fixtures enhance the cheerful atmos- phere of the studio. Other studios for the various members of the music department which have also undergone improvement, together with the practice rooms on the floor, are filled throughout the clay. Over two hundred Private lessons in music are given each week. These consist of piano, violin, trumpet, 'cello, organ, etc. At present there are five instructors in piano, one in voice, one in organ, and one in other instrumental music—a total of Sigma Iota Kappa Election Returns October 4 was a "November 11" for the men's dormitory club, Sigma Iota Kappa. A South Hall election, it was pointed out, does not depend on promising cam- paign speeches, but on an active Chris- tian life. The men of Sigma Iota Kappa were well pleased with the officers they chose to lead the club during the semes- ter. President �Julius Korgan Vice president Art Soper Sec.-treas. � Asst. sec.-treas. 80 Voice Choir Forms A new choral group, the Union College Choir of 80 voices, organized in the chapel on October 9. The officers elected are the following: co-leaders, Lawrence Rahn and Betty Christensen; secretary, June Johnstone; librarian, Grace Burke; business manager, Mr. H. C. Hartman; and advertising manager, Joe Barnes. Mrs. H. C. Hartman is the accompanist. This organization has a two-fold put- __ LAWRENCE RAHN- pose: to furnish choral music for the church services, and to appear in concert. Mr. Adrian Lauritzen, the director, is arranging a varied program of sacred and secular music for the recital repertoire. Several concert appearances are being L arranged by Mr. Hartman. eight splendid music teachers. In addi- tion classes are conducted in the theory of music. The newly organized 80-voice choir made its debut last Sabbath during the church service, and the band, also under the direction of Professor Lauritzen, is rapidly becoming more popular. It con- sists of fifty members. Each organization has its OW11 officers, consisting of presi- dent, vice-president, secretary, librarian, business manager, and publicity mana- ger. Despite the many improvements made, the need of a separate building to house the growing department, and all connect- ed with it look forward to the fulfillment of their cherished hope—a new music conservatory. Stated Professor Lauritzen in an inter- view: "The music department believes in quality and high standards. With the rest of the college departments, it is looking forward to and doing its part toward the building of a great future." As an added attraction to the lobby, there are placed here and there comfort- able davenports and easy chairs on which students may lounge while waiting for their appointments. There is also a desk at which is seated an information clerk who also checks students' practice periods by means of a cross-reference card sys- tem. Kappa Theta Stresses Friendship with mellow candle-light as a back- ground the first meeting of Kappa Theta, the North Hall girls' club, was . called to order. � , 'yr The theme was friendship, and a cor- dial welcome was extended from the old girls to the new. Hilda Fern Remley, the club president, was spokesman for the older girls and passed their welcome on to the new corners. Marie Musta replied for the newer girls. Lorraine Waller sang "Friend o' Mine," and the old World War song "My Buddy" was sung in chorus by all present. The name of each girl's friendship sister was concealed on the bottom of her individual candle, and unfolded after the old girls had lighted the candles of their new sisters. � tt Roberta Pogue gave a brief talk on what friendship in North Hall can really mean. After a brief friendship prayer the group left the room to the strains of "Love's Old Sweet Song." � Larry Leach �LeRoy Albers Roger Helmendach Vou Are 'nutted . . to contribute to any column or feature appearing in this paper!

LECTURE ON SPAIN A travel lecture on Spain by Miss Les- sie Lee Culpepper was the outstanding feature of the Campus Women's Club meeting held last night at the home of Mrs. F. L. Marsh. Inasmuch as Spain is in the foreground of current news, Miss Culpepper's back- ground of the revolution was a timely and interesting discussion. Refreshments served were gingerbread and punch. Defeated Practice room 3-A. I closed the door firmly behind me. Before me—a piano bench, a piano, and an hour. I sat down, the bench felt foreign and uncomfortable. I scanned the music be- fore me—Bach Album, Fifty-nine Piano Solos, and a book of Czerny exercises. Might as well get the worst over first, so decided to practice scales. Just as I was beginning to concentrate on E flat scales with both hands, I heard, above my pounding, the familiar Crieg's A Minor Concerto. Somehow they didn't mix. Maybe if I played the A minor scale things would sound better, but they didn't. I stopped and felt ignorant. The longer I listened the worse I felt and the better the concerto sounded. Suddenly I got a bright idea—the pre- lude, the famous, almost notorious, Chop- in Prelude, Op. 20. Everyone, even Norman Roy, Harriette Sherard, and Carmen Schlotthauer, play it, and maybe the concerto pianist wouldn't notice me then. I could almost sound professional. I settled on the bench just right, put the pedal down and prepared to play the first chord. My new timing technique was not entirely perfected, and I missed the octave in the third and fourth chords. In the the third measure I paused to think of what came next, and what should greet my ears but sounds of some semi-professional musician practicing his timing, too, on none other than THE pre- lude, only he didn't miss the octaves. Again I stopped and listened. My prelude almost sounded like a different piece, so I decided to try something else. I hoped that no one knew I was in there. Next I turned to Bach, but Bach isn't for inexperienced fingers, and that sounded worse than even the scales. By this time all the practice rooms were full, and I could here Chopin's ballads, Ravel waltzes, and the Witches' Dance plus the ever present Concerto. And I was in the midst of all this, with my scales and my Prelude. I've heard that poem about "Try, try, again," but it was apparent that I wasn't going to succeed, with all that compe- tition. Here I was, a beginner, in the midst of all those advanced musicians, and there were no other vacant practice periods—and I—well, I took out an out- side reading book I had brought up with me, and read for forty-five minutes. There is something in October sets the Gypsy blood astir; We must rise and follow her, When from every hill of flame She calls, and calls each vagabond by name. —Bliss Carman, "Vagabond Song" 4725 Prescott Ave. Res. 4-1748 � Office 4-2662 LINCOLN 6, NEBR. — - - - � - - 0.414=.1.0.=.041....111=1.11/141=.11.1411.1=•114,1.=.1P4OGSP c 1 We appreciate your 1. i �Patronage �1 !

Paul Shakespeare, now in the service of Uncle Sam's Navy, is stationed at Great Lakes, Illinois, one of the largest naval training centers. He has been enjoying a brief furlough with his parents in Tennessee, but spent one day on the Union College campus. Paul likes the Navy and has had little trouble . obtaining special privileges in regard to conscientious matters. He be- longs to the company of those who com- pose the "Blue Jacket Choir." Their outstanding service at present is in pre- senting radio broadcasts and singing for church services. Other servicemen will probably agree with Paul that there just isn't anything like being back at school again—especi- ally after putting up with twelve weeks of boot camp. Quote from Paul: "Best wishes to everyone!" Mervyn Cadwallader, who entered the service shortly before the close of sum- mer school and was assigned to the Navy, has completed his 12-week boot camp training. The only one to he so rewarded in his entire company, Mervyn is being assigned to a submarine training school in New London, Connecticut. He expects this training to last about a year and a half. Of the average 50% who apply for submarine training, only 1% are delegat- ed to the department. Physical capa- bility, behavior, interests, and scoring on certain tests are the determining fac- tors. Arthur Quance, a former student of Union College and brother of Arva Quance, was also here the week-end of the 21st. A letter from Altus Hayes to Miss Watt gives a vivid and interesting picture of his reaction to France, and is therefore printed in the next column. 0:;•11,4111•01.1=10.11.04.0.1•=11.111=Mr. � 4111111."1=0....=•,P.MIIK 1 � Dr. Frank T.

Glancing over the names, I see Shirley Morris is carrying the heavies as editor-in-chief, with Edna Maye Alexander, Elizabeth Jensen, and Beverly Ellithorpe assisting her as fea- ture editors. We finally prevailed on Gene Aaby and Merlene Ogden to cover the sports from both angles, and Ruth Benton acts as alumni editor. We've got some classy class reporters: Garnet John- son, Frances Osborne, Jim Stokos, and Flora May Bietz, with Agnes Lou Nichols holding down the typewriter. In case you haven't heard, our ambi- tious workers pulled down $318.65 to top all other bands in the late Harvest Ingathering venture. About our own private guys in the service, we hear an occasional word from Bob French somewhere in the Pacific, Don Boyer in Hawaii, Francis Paap at Great Lakes, Illinois, and Alfred Hart, also at Great Lakes. Then there's Mer- vyn Cadwallader, here on leave, whom you've probably seen gracing the cam- pus in his sailor suit. We also received some visits here a short time ago from Raylene Mead, Patty Paap, and Larry Rhodes and a friend, Bud Wickershiem, all from Shelton. We've got some pretty good typists for beginners, according to Mrs. Beckner, as she submits this list of one-minute tests turned out after three or four weeks of instruction. They go from Darrow Foster at 34 words 2 errors, Eugene Syfert, 32.4 and 1, and Elizabeth Jensen and Murray Long at 26.5 and 1, to Dean Holmes; 25 and 0, Dick French, Lowell Robertson, and Jim Stokos at over 24 and 0, and Beverly Ellithorpe at 24 and 1. Perhaps you didn't know that we have a good Sabbath School, too. Merlene Ogden and Edna Maye Alexander ar- range the programs while Elizabeth Jen- sen handles the secretary reports, so drop in to the basement of the church some time for a visit. Well, space is a wastin' so I'll close by inviting you to stick your nose into room 408 sonic Monday morning and treat yourself to a copy of The Papyrus and read our "Guess Who" and "Fannie Fixit" columns, and many other inter- esting features.

Half asleep at a very early hour, she discovered that she did not have her text but the dictionary. 0 0 0 "What's the date?" "The twentieth." "Oh! This is my mother's wedding anniversary—and my dad's; too," added Beth Cadenhead. 0 "Going to the lecture tonight?" ques- tioned Miss Clifford. "Yes." "To that dry thing?" Ask Texie how she felt when Mr. Ebright casually replied, "I'm giving the lecture this evening." 0 0 0 0 Girls, if you cherish your silverware, guard it, for Roberta Pogue was seen leaving the dining room with several pieces in her pocket. Yours may be the next. 0 0 0 Is it Mike whom Delmer waits for WHAT'S IN A NAME? This strange fragment from a diary of the beginning of the school year was evidently written by someone preoccu- pied with learning the names of a great many people; or perhaps a checker dreamed it. Sept. 13—After Dad promised he Wood bring me in the Willis, he decided that on account of Ethel rationing I'd better come by Roehl to school. Ida been here sooner, only we had Engen trouble, and then were stopped once where the Hol- brook was all over the track and Maize fields and everywhere. I thought for a while we'd have to get a boat and Orr across by .1aine force; or else find some Minners and join the Fishers. But made it through without Harm. Sept. 14-1 went to register; saw many Weisz professors and interesting Seitz while passing through the Halls. Our room will soon be Bonnie. The woodwork is dirty, but we'll Soper till it's Beam'n, and a touch of Ivy or Fern will make it fine. Sept. 18—In chapel and worshiip we get excellent advice on how to get along better at college. We should exercise Prudence; never Shirck our Burden; and overcome our short-Cummings by Will( s ) power. Also it is best to heap Cowles of fires on one's enemy's head. And Miss (Continued in next column) after each meal now? Or could it be the dean � 's sister? 0 0 0 After a certain program in which sev- eral speakers had taken part, a visitor re- marked, "That first fellow on the program —the tall, dark-haired one—was best. I believe he'll make a good speaker some day." Congratulations, Mr. Beaven—we believe so, too! 0 0 0 During a recent sewing lab Mrs. Dunn was having difficulties fitting a sleeve pattern around Rosella's muscles. Mrs. Dunn: "Rosella, you're going to have to quit lix;ing with the dumbells" . . . Don't take it to hard, Hilda Fern. 0 0 0 Wanted: A snore muffler for use in church by Larry Boyd. 0 0 0 Miss Rees: College girls just don't crawl under the beds when caught in their neighbor's rooms after "blinks". But a birthday party is different, isn't it, Jose- phine? Rees adds that we do well not, to Ch.tse the Hanson men! Sept. 20-- The Ayer's so cold, I'm almost Friezen! We get up so early that the Moon is still shining. But even so, our Dailey program is so full that we scarcely have time to Comb our hair be- fore we have to Mersh-on to class or work. Owen to the lateness of the time, I Must (a) leave you now, Diary. Bye! Answer to "Can You Place Her?" Marjorie Holbrook. • The South Hall dribblers have started the old ball rolling by organizing the league teams. Monday night the different groups met to choose captains for their teams, and a fine job they did, too. The captains of the teams are flashy Marcus Payne, star of last year's games, leading Nebraska; the all-around ex-navy boy, Warren Sherbert, heading Minnesota; and Xavier Butler, that kid for the grand- stands to watch, directing the Cosmopoli- tan team; then, lastly, we find that Texas is under the leadership of hefty Theo. Bosarge. After a couple of practice rounds they will be getting under way with the first pre-season games on Sunday, October 28, and something tells me that it will be a good season with everybody feeling ready for the scraps. It seems as if lately some have insinua- ted that all there is to do in the gym is skate. Don't believe that for a moment— go see for yourself, and try for yourself when wanting to seek out some real re- laxation, one of the several games. There are the lighter sports, such as the new archery set with several bows for your use; then there are two ping-pong tables; and don't forget the four shuffleboard courts and the badminton set. These are all there for your entertainment. Take ad- vantage of them—you'll find that you never felt better than after some recrea- tion in the swell gym we have here at Union.

In the rush that ensued Delmer reached the door of "110" first. He knocked. Receiv- ing no answer, he and Mike bolted into the dark room, vociferously demanding that the boys wake up and produce the cheese. As they approached the center of the blackness, a woman's voice cut the silence—"This is a guest room!" It took fully two seconds for the young men to reach the safety of their room at the other end of the dormitory. It was revealed that the former owners of "110" had moved to second floor and the room was reconverted for the use of guests. Mr. Loewen and Mr. Holbrook issued early the next morning, the following statement: "Next time we go foraging for food, we'll dress up!" Birth Days Wilbur Chapman's friends surely did a good job of surprising him on his birthday Wednesday as he met them in' rii the spread room of North Hall—(thanks to Miss Rees). Grilled cheese sandwiches with all the accessories, plus a big cake furnished the to eats for the occasion. The guests were Josephine Griffin, Alpha Lane, Harriette Sherard, Orvin Fillman, and James Mershon. More birthdays Elsie Joudry decided to have a four- in-one this past week and entertain sev- eral of her friends for their birthdays. The theme carried out was Spanish. Those being honored were Mary Ter- ranova, Willietta Weller, Alice Forste and Rosella Weideman. Esther Minner and Laurie McPherson were present. Little Miss Veronica Mae Kegley made her debut in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Kegley, Jr., on October 12, 1944. Mother and daughter returned from the Lincoln General Hospital on October 22 and are doing well. ••••••MM.1111/M41•,.. 114=1.0•••04•10.111M/114MIPI.M.111,1M/011.1=0.01,114M04,1M•01=.041M00.1•Oill NIM.
