VOICE OF PROPHECY RADIO GROUP TO GIVE PROGRAM HERE rhr VOL. XVII / � UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, OCTOBER 14, 1942 � NO. 4 LEISKE ELECTED BUSINESS CHIEF LeRoy Leiske, college senior, was elected president and busin- ess manager of the Clock Tower in chapel last Friday. The nomin- ating committee selected him to fill the place vacated by Norman Krogstad who is now teaching in Enterprise Academy, Enterprise, Kansas. Mr. Leiske is a former student of Canadian Junior Col- lege, LaCombe, Alberta, Canada and his home is in Blackfalds, Alberta, Canada. The newly elected manager of the school paper has been prom- inent in student activities. During the spring of 1942 he was vice- president of Sigma Iota Kappa and a leader in the recreation hall campaign. He was also an active participant in the Clock Tower campaign of 1941. Mr. Leiske is already laying plans for the coming campaign. He says, "I may run a few public opinion polls or may even try to influence student opinion through my paper." With the help of the student body he and the other staff members intend to make the Clock Tower the denominations best weekly school newspaper. future October 15 9:45 A. M. Chapel Dr. L. H.

Cossentine reiterated in chapel Wednesday. The students of Union College upheld the faculty in their decision to discontinue the publication of the Golden Cords for the duration. Because of the conditions that the country is facing, the faculty decided that the need of the government should come first. Although the discontinuation of yearbooks has not been made compulsory, the majority of col- leges and universities are can- celing their publications in order as possible. To alleviate the loss of the Golden Cords, the Clock Tower staff will publish a special pic- torial issue of the school paper in the spring. "It is our patriotic duty," Presi- dent Cossentine told the student body in making the announce- ment. "In normal times, however, the Golden Cords is a definite necessity and is a requisite to a well-rounded school life." But when the "All out for Victory" cry is echoing througout our country, Union College students are going to do their part by only imagining what the 1942-43 Golden Cords would have looked like. Perhaps they will get out their old annuals and walk up to some of their classmates and say, "Will you please re-autograph my Golden Cords?" There will he a way though. Unionites will see to that. Hartman Leads Local Chest Drive Mr. H. C. Hartman, business manager of Union College, has been selected as Lieutenant Colo- nel of the Community Chest drive in College View. He will be as- sisted by six co-workers. The drive for Community Chest continues through October 19-27. with thirty-two agencies being aided by this fund. Twenty-one of these are local organizations and eleven are war agencies. Ac- cording to Mr. Hartnian all the staff members of the college are working toward the $230,000 set for Lincoln.

In addition to Arlene Church, senior from Lin- coln, Nebraska, and Charles Lick- ey, senior from New York City, New York, both of whom were among those listed for 1941-42, the following persons were se- lected: Glen Wiltse, junior, from Mondamin, Iowa, first lieutenant of the Union College Medical Corps in 1941-42; Franklin Ashlock, junior of mission serv- ice in India; James Chase, sen- ior from Alexandria, South Dakota, who has served on the (Continued on page 3. ) Columbus Day Columbus Day, October 12, 1942, should mean a great deal to thinking col- lege students. It commem- orates a four hundred and fifty year old discovery which has meaning and a challenge to the young people of this time. We are living in a free country where all have the right of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Since this continent was dis- covered it has flourished in- to a magnificient land with towering cities, inspiring church steeples, lowly dwellings, and small farms dotting the hillsides. This is America. At first a small glimmer of light was all that Columbus and his men could see as they peered through the darkness. That mere speck has become a powerful beacon showing its rays all over the world. So, near this Columbus day, as our nation strives for victory, should not we all remember and honor the man who gave `. . . that world It's greatest lesson, 'on and on!'

The same nationally known company will present a program Monday evening at the College View church. The Voice of Prophecy broad- casts are heard every Sunday evening over the entire Mutual Network with more than 200 sta- tions. It also sponsors the Radio Bible School with a rapidly in- creasing enrollment already be- yond 70,000. This registration gives this Bible-study school the greatest enrollment of any cor- respondence school in the world. Elder H. M. S. Richards, for- mer union evangelist for the Pacific Union Conference, heads the gos- pel group. He conducted public meetings in many states including California, Arizona, and Oregon, before beginning his radio work. Associated with Elder Richards as manager of the radio group is Elder F. W. Detamore who previously was pastor of the Kans- as City, Missouri S.D.A. church. The King's Heralds, well known radio quartet, which has been with the Voice of Prophecy since its beginning, will play a prominent part in the program presented at Union College.

Once upon a time in a quiet mid-western town there was located a small college whose students were said to be the best in the land. They were reputed to be more clean, more sturdy, more dependable, more responsible than any other similar group of students for many miles around. Near the college was a large frame church, and in a number of the rooms in the church were beautiful American flags. . It became necessary for the students to have some flags to use as decorations for a party; so one brave soul went to the church, and without securing permission from any one, carried away a flag. Of course, he was going to bring it right back. Was he not an honest man? Months went by and the flag was not returned. It was very much needed, too, by its rightful owners. At last, by sheer coincidence, it was located by a church member and restored to its proper place. The town was Lincoln; the college was Union. Were you the undependable student? A.C. Don'tPuit Have you been tempted to quit? If so, just remember it has been the business of the devil to get men to quit ever since he first appeared to Eve in Eden. Just quit the service of God and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. In substance this is what the devil said to Eve. Eve quit. The result has been woe and misery to the human race all these millenniums since that day. Paul and Silas started out on a missionary tour into Asia Minor with a young preacher accompanying them. The way became hard, the beds were not comfortable, and the devil said to John Mark, "You can not endure this. You better quit and go back to your Mother at Jerusalem." John listened and turned his steps toward home. The devil tried it on another man, this was the great reformer, John Wycliff. He was very ill. The Friars hated him and his work. One day they came to him and said, "You are very ill. You should recant and prepare for death for you will die." The brave man raised himself on his bed and looking those enemies of truth in the face he said, "I shall not die, but live and declare the evil deeds of the Friars." He did not die. He did not quit but lived to give to the English people that priceless treasure, God's Word in their own language. � T. W. Rowland Lohman Instructs Art Classes Life at Union College spells industry with a capital "I", but Miss Virginia Lohman believes that "industry without art is bru- tality." A student herself, Miss Lohman teaches art to students ranging from tiny tots to conscientious col- lege girls. At the training school twenty-five seventh and eighth graders have two art classes a week. The fourth, fifth and sixth grade students are in a separate class, and the small children con- stitute the third class. Besides these classes, Miss Lohman teaches manual arts to Moneta Caviness and Genevieve Davis, college girls taking teacher-train- ing courses. On Monday the seventh and eighth grade class learns to do (Continued on page 3.) HOPI SNAKE DANCE (Continued from last week.)

As the sun begins to set, the Snake clansmen steal silently out of their underground abodes led by the oldest member of the tribe. They line up according to height, and at the tail end of the line are boys no more than five or six years of age. It is here that the Antelope clansmen join them in a chant. The Snake priest is handed a snake, he places it in his mouth and dances weirdly and crazily around the plaza to the beat of the huge ""boom"' drums. The Antelope priest ac- companies each snake dancer in his rhythmic contortions stroking the snakes with a feather. As each snake finishes a dance it is dropped into the arms of a (Continued on page 4.) ,01 rr ceremony, are gathering herbs and grasses that have been or- dered specifically by the Snake priestess. She will use these herbs in the preparation of two concoctions. One brew is used as an emetic for the dancers to rid their systems of the snake poisons when the dance is con- summated. There are only two people in the tribe who know the formulae for the brew, the Snake priest and priestess. Their offices are hereditary, passing from fath- er to son and from mother to daughter. On the morning of the day of the public dance, which takes place in the evening of the ninth day of rituals, the snakes are given a bath in their sacred ab- lutions, and then are removed moved from the Kiva to a circu- Down On The Farm By Edythe Mae Alexander When the moon shines over the cowshed, how would you like to be entering the barn door? And that isn't during the delightful hours of an autumn evening eith- er—it's even before the most am- bitious rooster has one eye open. But seventeen of the regular twenty-four farm and dairy work- ers do it every morning, and one even says that he doesn't mind it. Can you feature anyone being so heroic? It is all for you, and you, and you that these fellows get up at 3:30 in the morning so that fresh, sweet milk will be yours at meal- time. Oh, yes, life down at the farm is not so humdrum as you think. Things really happened there dur- ing the summer. Did you know that for the first time in ten years there is loose hay in the barn? In fact, the large hayfork, run by tractor power. was unloading the fourth crop for the year Tuesday. And it grew on the land belong- ing to the farm. Another phenom- enon: Mr. Stout, superintendent of the farm and dairy, says there are fifty acres of corn to shuck. Perhaps the farm boys feel the impact of those last two words more than the rest of you readers Generous rains were responsible for the good pasture during the summer. Perhaps you didn't know that cows as well as chickens are cull- , ed. Old stock cows and heifers that were "off in color" brought. $1800 when they were sold from the farm this year. This was done for the purpose of building up the herd. Because the city of Lincoln re- cently adopted a new health code affecting milk and dairy products, the college dairy is changing some of its equipment to comply with the demands of the code, too numerous to men- tion here, require that a certain standard be maintained in the care of the utensils and the milk. The Union College farm is not one of these sliding-down-the- banister industries. It really isn't so bad after all—this getting up in the morning—when one is do- ing it for such a noble cause as the farm and dairy, especially the one belonging to Union College.

TSK TSK... Charles Lickey is having trouble with his feet again. He says that the reason he falls up and down the stairs so much is that his feet arc just too big to fit on the stair treads. Some one has said that Charles really wears a size ten shoe, but elevens feel so good that he buys boxes. The industrial superintendents object, and with good reason, to the statement in the last Clock Tower which said "Any man who is in a hurry is not quite civiliz- ed." One staff member candidly remarked, "It isn't very often that we have to tell a student worker to slow down a lot." Be it hereby known that Dr. Dick has a new hat. "Old Faith- ful" has stuck by him during several years of teaching, globe- trotting, and violent Nebraska winds only to be discarded in this hour of advancement. How- ever, as if in commemoration of the years of service, Dean Dick often keeps the old fedora in a position of honor atop the files in his office. Gerry Christiansen is one of the most ambitious girls in this school. One morning last week she arose, showered, dressed and was all ready for her friends to come by after her to go to class. She waited patiently for a few minutes, then glanced nervously at the clock to see just how many min- utes there remained before class began. It was 2:30 a.m. It would be wise to add that a little brown eyed girl from North Carolina, and a blond laundry worker from Nebraska were responsible for Gerry's early rising. It was by the merest accident that Oscar Torkelson and his fa- mous Ford, Henry, got out of Kansas when they did. Oscar vows that he didn't know when the governor of Kansas was going to start the Scrap Drive. Just how Oscar expects to elude the search- ers for scrap here in Nebraska remains to be seen. Have any of you noticed the change in Merle Wernick since school started? A little observa- tion will reveal a slight fringe Bindery Display At Library Ass'n The Capitol City Bookbindery, one of the industrial departments of Union College, presented a picture-cover display at the Ne- braska Library Association con- vention held recently in Omaha. The picture-cover is a new device which illustrates with pictures the titles of books and maga- zines. These are now being in- troduced into schools and libr- aries. The Nebraska Library Associa- tion was organized to promote more efficient library work. It met for its forty-seventh annual convention at the Hotel Fontenelle in Omaha, Nebraska, October 1-3. Mrs. Naomi W. Ellsworth of Fairbury heads the association. Mr. Bruce McCulloch, vice-presi- dent of the Omaha Public Library Board, greeted the delegates at the convention. Mr. E. E. Hagen, manager of the Capitol City Bookbindery, and Mr. E. C. Aaby, salesman, attended the meeting. According to Melvin Rich, fore- man of the school industry, twenty students work at the bindery. They are: Mildred Caviness, Del- phia Dufloth, Robert Firth, Evelyn Heft, Jane Kivachuk, Jay Lantry, Susan Lehman, Joyce Lyon, Vida Pogue, Evelyn Prussia, Dorothy Reed, Melba Rich, Melvin Rich, Ella Schmidt, Arthur Soper, Evan- geline Sorenberger, Mildred Thompson, Marjorie VanDornum, Sterling Wallace, and Martin Wiedeman. Snake Dance (Continued from page 2.) waiting "gatherer" who has an arm load when the dance is over. When the snakes have all been carried around the circle, they are dumped into a huge pile where they are covered with what appears to be corn meal. Following this, the dancers plunge their arms into the writh- ing mass, grab an armload of snakes and run off toward the four directions of the compass. As they reach the circle of watchers a wide lane opens up for them to pass down. At the edge of the mesa the rattlers are released to slither away across the desert, carrying with them messages from the Hopi to the gods. And, strange as it may seem it is seldom that the rain does not begin to fall almost immediately along his upper lip. Here's a tip, Merle. Burnt matches are a won- derful aid to increasing the prominence of a project such as yours. Speaking of mustaches, can any one tell why Oscar Heinrich's disappeared? The answer is sim- ple. He was trimming said po- session to just the correct size and shape in honor of his wife's homecoming, when the razor slip- ped. And then off came the whole mustache. Double Zrouble After careful and painstaking investigation among the students as to just who are making double trouble at college this year, re- veals that the Johnsons are the guilty ones. When I say John- sons, I mean any one of several— eight to be exact. That is more than double trouble, in fact, four of these are not from Minnesota. First, there is Helen, the North Hall monitor on third floor who patiently deals with her problem children. And then Helen has a sister and cousin, aline arid Mil- lard. Mary Ann, a sophomore, plays her violin in the college orchestra. � Clifford, E l w o o d, James, and Milton come from here and there in Minnesota. Clif- ford was here last year The three Thompsons in North Hall should be mentioned: two Mildreds and one Leona. One Mildred is from South Dakota, and anyone who knew Lela. who was here last year, knows that Mildred is Lela's sister. And then another Mildred, who Come; from Emmanual Missionary College, has lived for twelve years in Lima, Peru, South America. Her par- ents were missionaries there, and, still are. Leona comes from Min- nesota. Her ambition is to be an efficient secretary. There is something unique about Geraldine Christens.in from Iowa and Willard Christensen from Minnesota—they are both from North Hall. Last year Willard spent all of his Nvorlang !lows, which sometimes were all of his waking hours, in the dorm- itory. Geraldine is a sophomore and she wants to be a nurse. Then there are Irene and 'James Stevens, not brothcr and sister either � Irene's home is in Nu.rth Carolina. This sonmier she went by herself from North Carolina to New York via Mimic-sold to have an appendectomy. jiiiimy is a senior this year. Someone asked him the other day whar stccl wool is. He replied that it must be wool from a sheep that eats spinach to get its iron. There are four Smiths in South Hall: Warren, Ross, Alvin, and Ora from Kansas, Iowa, Colorado, a n d � Wyoming � respectively. Among these we may look for a future chemist, dentist, and two ministers. While speaking of double trou- ble, the North Hall twins should certainly be mentioned: Josephine and Earlyne Logan. It is said that their father wanted a boy very badly, but got two girls in- stead. Josephine and Earlvne are as opposite as any two people alike can he. McLean Presents New Goal Device The Union College Sabbath School has a new goal device. A large Bible with twenty-two rays shining from it and the words, "And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world," are the main features. The twenty-two rays are for the twenty-two Sabbath School classes. Each class that has a perfect daily lesson study will have a ray shining for that week. The quotation contains thirteen words, one word for each Sabbath of this quarter. The financial goal for the whole Sabbath School must be met each week in order to illuminate a word. George McLean, Sabbath School superintendent, did Most of the work in making this device. The impressive Bible in the middle was drawn by Virginia Lohman. The students are already won- dering if the first two words and all the lights will be shining next week, and are talking of the Sabbath when all the rays and Science Notes When some one mentions plants the average person almost im- mediately thinks of dirt. But now a new science has arisen— hydro- ponics—in which plants are grown in water. It has been found that it is the chemicals in the soil and not the dirt itself which sup- port plant life. Therefore bot- anists have combined the cor- rect amounts of chemicals which include nitrates, phosphates, mag- nesium, potassium, and calcium which is the most important. The plants grow just as well as if they were in soil and are often so large that they have to be sup- ported by wires. This new me- thod makes possible a greater num- ber of plants per square foot, and enables botanists to study the growing roots. The word fruit connotes ap- ples, pears, and plums, but many people don't know that all plants have fruit and that it isn't neces- tarily soft and edible. Acorns are the fruit of the oak and cones are fruit of the pine. The fruit of a plant is the part which contains the seeds and if it were not present the species would be- come extinct.

PHONE 4-2662 LINCOLN, NEBRASKA 1.11E CLOCK TOWER, OCTOBER 14, 1942 WE'RE IN THE ARMY NOW CALKINS Camp Rucker is eight miles from Ozark, Alabama and 27 miles from Dothan, Alabama. We go to church at Dothan. The camp is only about three months old; so everything is new. There are gullies, wash out, swamps and jungles here; but they're not quite as appealing as the grandeur of the Rockies. I was surprised to see as many evergreen trees as there are down here. There are lots of magnolias, pecans, figs and pomegranates in Dothan. Nearly every tree and shrub has fruit or flowers. I'd still rather be at � Fitzsimmons ( in Denver ). Yesterday I worked in the hospi- tal for the first time since I've been here. I was taking another fellow's place. You see, the Sixth Station Hos- pital is in the process of being organized. We have most of our men, but we have yet to get 15 nurses and several items of equip- ment. It is to he a mobile unit, so that we can move it from place to place. It will be a 150 bed hospital. I got a letter today from my brother, Everette. He stayed at Camp Robinson when I went to Fitzsimmons. He is at Atlanta, Ga. motor school for three months. He's had two ratings so far, and I haven't had any! He's a corpor- al, and I'm still a buck private. He got a letter from Little Rock and it said Raymond Pelton was there. Stanley Jensen was at Fitz- simmons in laboratory technician :school when I left. I guess Neil !Rowland hasn't moved a bit. Boys ought to be in quite a demand, socially, this fall at Un- ion. There were five Adventists here when we came. Al and I made seven; and a week ago a hunch came in from Camp Grant bring- ing two more fellows. They both live in this barrack. I appreciate your prayers for me. Art Classes (Continued on page 2. ) lettering, pastels, water coloring and observational drawing. On Thursday they do artcraft work such as needle craft, tin tapping and making oil cloth dolls and novelties from scrap material. 'These things, together with the Christmas cards they will make, 'can be used for Christmas gifts. The fourth fifth and sixth grade class does similar work in applied art. "It is difficult to teach art to the tiny tots," Miss Lohman adds. However, the little folk are put- ting their knowledge to practical use. They are tacking shingles, painting woodwork and making window boxes for a house large enough for an adult to stand in. During the first part of the semester the manual arts class KLEIN This last week I've been do- ing quite a little work on the bat- talion detail. One day I had the great privilege of being a truck driver—one of those trucks with two wheels in front and two han- dles behind which the driver takes hold of to push the thing around. You see they use these man power trucks to move big boxes, clothes, shoes, etc. Anyway I liked the job despite the hard work that went with it. Two other days I helped the new rookies ( I am an old veteran by now) get into their new uni- forms. The "would be" soldier by the time he gets to the end of the long counter has quite a pile of clothes before him. Here a cor- poral checks everything to make sure they have everything ( or not too many things) and then I take the man's barrack bag and hold it while the checker stuffs in the clothes. I take the hag and the man follows. We go to a bench and I start talking. "Put on your shoes and lace them halfway" ( This is to save time.) While he is doing that I dig into his bag, get out a summer shirt and take all the pins and tags out, then, "Put your shirt on and button all the buttons." ( I've already un- bottoned it for him.) While the man is doing this he is standing on a bench and another man comes along to check to see if his shoes fit; after the shoes are OK'd the fellow steps to the floor. By then I have his wool trousers out, tag off, with belt in the loops. "Put your pants on, and buckle Demand For Biology Text Exceeds Supply Just the other day Dr. Frank Marsh was standing by the mail boxes with two letters in his hand and a distressed look on his face. In response to the ques- tion of a solicitous passer by, Dr. Marsh asked, "What am I to do? Here is the fifth order for Fun- damental Biology in four days and the edition is entirely exhausted?" Dr. Marsh stated that the book has been received with much wider favor than he had antici- pated when it was first published a year ago. He explained that Fundamental Biology is being equally enjoyed by college science men, medical men, ministers, and lay members of the church and that he has received many very kind statements of appreciation for it. Dr. Marsh further stated that he plans to revise the hook in a few places and publish it in a more permanent form within this next year. them up." While he is doing that I get his winter blouse out( top coat) and tear all the tags off. As soon as he has his pants on I help him into his blouse and tell him to button it up. By this time he usually starts to object at hav- ing to put on his winter uniform. But when I get out his big win- ter overcoat he increases his pro- tests and I calm him by telling him he'll have it on only a few minutes. I now have the guy completely dressed! I then send him to another bench where he is checked to see that all his clothes fit and if they do he is told to take them off and put on his summer uniform. If they don't fit he is sent to a tailor where he is measured and his clothes re- made. After I've sent the com- pletely dressed soldier to the checker I go hack for the next fellow. About 200 to 250 men can he dressed in one forenoon. Last Thursday evening I was leaning on the top bunk with my Bible and quarterly open before me studying my Sabbath School lesson. Along came a fellow and rather bluntly asked me what kind of a lesson I was studying. Be- fore I could answer him he ask- ed what was my religion, and I said, "Seventh-Day Adventist". He said, "I am too." Well I just felt so good and glad, I took his hand and shook it real hard. He's a swell guy and good looking too. ,:' 40/,' ..$.,;4'.r • / ....ec -.0.teg .,..A : , . ......, - � - .....,,,,g, "Plea-14%9" Plaid Sizas Co-ed's Favorites First fashion for smart college girls are plaid wool skirts.
