'or rr VOL. xvii � UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, NOVEMBER 11, 1942 � NO. 8 CLOCK TOWER SUBSCRIPTIONS TOTAL 1900 *Faculty Wins Loving Cup; Krauss Leads With 40 "Subs"; Girls Team Second • Xmas Recess Delayed At Railroads' Request The students of Union College have voted to postpone the usual Christmas vacation until Febru- ary 3 to 15. The railroad com- panies of America requested col- leges and universities to either cancel vacations or postpone them until after January 15, the end of the Christmas rush. The matter was taken up 'n chapel November 2 when the stu- dents were given time to discuss the whole question. At this time the students voted to postpone the vacation until after January 15 and to request the faculty to set the exact date. Despite the evident disappoint- ment of all, the general feeling is that anything the students can do to aid a war industry or to help soldiers get home for Christmas is worth the loss of a vacation. Biology Department Gets New Camera A new Leica camera has been added to the equipment of the biology department. This camera is for the purpose of photograph- ing material for slides to be used in the laboratory studies. The size of the camera may seem di- minutive as compared with its price of $219; however, it will prove its worth in usefulness to the biology classes. To do the necessary fine work, a very accu- rate camera is neded. An order had been placed for some new microscopes, but since these were unobtainable, the camera was purchased instead. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 � 84 .25 avd. 0 Vacalion 0 ti MISS ALEXANDER ASSOCIATE EDITOR Edythe Mae Alexander, junior from Bristow, Oklahoma, has been elected associate editor of the Clock Tower. She is an Eng- lish major and last year graded papers for Mrs. A. H. Rulkoetter, instructor i" � glish. Edythe Mae Alexander This addition to the Clock Tower staff was made because the heavy scholastic and labor schedules of the other editors did not allow adequate time for prep- aration of each issue of the school paper. The editorial staff is very glad for Edythe Mae's assistance. They appreciate most heartily her abili- ty to detect a misplaced comma or a dangling modifier. War Commission Secretary Addresses College Carlyle B. Haynes, secretary of the War Service Commission of the General Conference of Sev- enth-day Adventists, arrived here Friday evening, November 6, to open a series of lectures on the relation of the Christian to the present war. In addition to addressing the students in chapel during the morning sessions, Elder Haynes is continuing his talks each night this week in the College View auditorium, thus accommodating community folk and interested village students. Elder Haynes is making a tour of all our colleges, already hav- ing presented his material to Washington Missionary College in Takoma Park, Maryland, At- lantic Union College in South Lancaster, Massachusetts, a n d Emmanuel Missionary College in Berrien Springs, Michigan. Pro- ceeding on a regularly scheduled itinerary, Elder Haynes intends to address all the Seventh-day Ad- ventist junior colleges in the Unit- ed States and Canada on the sub- ject of noncombatancy. Oar Vile Armistice.. Today is Armistice Day. Twen- ty-four years ago today the roar of shot and shell in a fighting world was stopped. Our soldiers said farewell to their comrades and to their foes. Today there remain veterans who help to tell of the sacrifices made; there remain graves which help to swell the losses that never can be paid. It is fitting that we pause to pay respect to those who fell and to pay respect to the day of ar- mistice. Yes, Armistice Day stirs our patriotism and we feel proud of those who paid the price of sacrifice. But today, in 1942, there is a cause and a country which de- serve our respect and patriotism, for again the sound of marching feet can be heard. Today men and women are paying the price sacrifice for the cause of liberty— the liberty which has made A- merica the greatest of them all. Yes, today a country and a people deserve our respect and patriotism. Biology Department Sponsors Museum Many students were not aware that Union College has a muse- um until the announcement ap- peared that the museum, housed in room 107, will be open from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays and from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. The museum contains a collec- tion of birds, animals, rocks, clay tablets, shells from the Philip- (Continued on page 3.) Suture November 13 9:35 A. M. Chapel Carlyle B. Haynes 6:11 P. M.

Open House Student Scholarships Distributed By Bookmen Here "Twenty-six students are at- tending Union College this year because of financial remuneration resulting from the sale of religious literature," Elder Chester Cross, field missionary secretary of the Central Union Conference, stated in chapel Friday morning, Nov- ember 6. At the college to award the colporteur scholarship checks were Elder C. G. Cross, chairman; El- der P. D. Gerrard, field mission- ary secretary of the Northern Un- ion Conference; R. E. Bowes, manager of the Omaha branch of the Pacific Press; Roger Baker, director of the Iowa rolling book and Bible house; and L. L. Grand Pre', field missionary secretary of the Iowa Conference. Each student averaged six- hundred dollars in gross sales, according to Elder Gerrard, and half that amount represents the approximate net gain to the col- porteur. The following students were the recipients of colporteur schol- arship earnings: Lynette Ander- son, Jack Bowers, Francis Cro- foot, Vernon Heglund, Oscar (Continued on page 3.) Bus. Off. Tribulations "You made a mistake on my statement." "I want to buy a French book. Can I charge it?" "May I cash a check here?" These are some of the questions asked every day in the business office at Union College. They are answered and corrected by the fol- lowing students who work there: Juanita Boggs, Ivanette Hein- rich, Bonnie Hohlier, Betty Lou Irelan, Darleen Lenz, Morna Le- quier, Josephyne Logan, Celia Maddox, Betty Lou Milam, Lillian Neuharth, Prudence Ortner, Jean Rees, Betty Keene, Valerie Ware and Louise Westerbeck. While the excited group in the chapel waited with eager antici- pation for LeRoy Leiske, cam- paign leader, to announce the winning side, Paul Kemper heightened the suspense by di- recting the band in playing rous- ing marches. By special request, Yehudi, personified by Delmer Holbrook, was back at Union to close the campaign. He took the cup which the South Hall boys won in the 1941-42 Clock Tower campaign, began to weep, and said, "I just can't give it away, Leiske." Three ringing alarm clocks marked the close of the 1942- 43 Clock Tower campaign, while the bell in the tower pealed 50! The Clock Tower campaign successfully closed at 7:30 p. m. Monday with a total of 1250 subscriptions. Adding 650 student subscriptions and pledges, the 1900 mark was reached. Union College students and faculty did it again. The Clock Tower will be a weekly paper. J. B. Krauss After keeping the audience in suspence for what seemed hours, LeRoy Leiske presented the cup to Mr. J. L. Pettis, the leader of the faculty. They brought in sub- scriptions enough to make 115 per cent of their goal. Mr. Krauss,, superintendent of the press, turned in 40 subs, which was more than anyone else received. The girls' side came second, and the boys and the village tied for third place. Mr. Pettis turned the cup over to President Cossentine who said he hoped that it would not remain in his office after next year's campaign.

C. HARTMAN '21 Jane Kivachuck '46, Jean thoughtfulness When we reach the status of a high school or academy senior, we are supposed to be "dignified," and when we ma- triculate in a college, our ken is supposed to be consider- ably broad. By the time we have reached the last rung •on the college ladder, we think we have learned everything about everything. But have Union College students learned everything? It is possible to obtain a college education and still be sadly lacking in most of the minor things that determine one's fu- ture success. 'You know, raindrops are pretty small, but when they are all put together, they can make a crashing waterfall. Are you aware of the "drop" that you create every time you let go of your songbook after the song has been sung in chapel? Even though there aren't so many, yet when they all fall more or less consecutively, they make a noise that is anything but pleasant. Did you ever stop to think that you are just as respon- sible for causing that uncultured sound as anyone else? We are "supposed" to be college students, but have we learned the definition of the word spelled t-h-o-u-g-h-t-f-u-l-n-e-s-s? Let's bend our backs a little and put a little rosin on our fingers so that we don't "drop" our songbooks. Shall we try it? E. M. A. What Is Maur Outlook? Exactly fifty per cent of the time traffic lights are one big pain in the neck. So often, as a driver hopefully ap- proaches an intersection, the amber light blinks on or the green changes to red, and he is stranded—so near and yet so far. Then, if he should look around to take his bearings, whist, the light is green and some one is honking. (It has been said that the shortest space of time in the world is the interval between when the red light turns to green and the fellow behind honks his horn.) Each day no end of perfectly good dispositions are badly marred because of the traffic light situation. One's reaction all depends upon one's point of view. While one driver is seeing red, and seemingly endless delay, another is seeing green and safety; while one is restrained the other has freedom; while one is perhaps a bit annoyed the other is happy. Life, too, presents its stop and go signals. We can't ex- pect always to have a green light beckoning to us; about fifty per cent of the time we must slow down or halt to ob- serve laws. And the same situation which checks one person may give free rein to another. Actions are determined by the point of view. An existence void of stop and go signals would be en- ervating indeed. Why don't we stop feeling sorry for our- selves when some of our plans run amuck? The halt for us may be the starting signal for some one else. A. C. THE CLOCK TOWER, NOVEMBER 11, 1942 ) A_Zratter Baliamamiacs Be!!! Blue Contributes To Volume Business Pressing At College Laundry A bank robbery—one of the big- gest in America—took place at the Lincoln National Bank, 11th and 0 streets in Lincoln, on September 17, 1930. $2,000,000 in currency and bonds was taken by three men armed with submachine guns! Stealing books from the Union College Library, 48th and Ban- croft streets in Lincoln, is not as spectacular as holding up a bank, but the principle of wrong is iden- tical. During the summer of 1941, a religion major not at Ur ion this year, when asked to return the Handbook to the Grammar of the Greek Testament, a library refer- ence book, found it among the books in his bookcase. Sometime during the school year of 1941-1942, a pre-medic student, not at Union this year, took from the library Taber's Cy- clopedic Medical Dictionary, a ref- erence book. At the end of the school year the student did not even return it to the library but left it lying on a, campus bench. Inside the book he forgot a pic- ture of his girl friend lovingly ded- icated to him. Tuesday evening, October 27, 1942, two young men attempted to walk out of the library with the December 28, 1938 Life magazine under one young man's overcoat. These young men are familiar with the rules of the library for they have both been here more than one year. Union College students are con- tinually agitating the question of greater privileges. They wish to be placed on their honor. Will stealing books and magazines from the library make library privileges any more numerous? Ingathering Groups Feast At Sunrise Breakfast Buzzing alarm clocks wakened the members of Mavis Betts' and Jim Pogue's Harvest Ingathering singing bands at 4:30 a. m., Sun- day, November 1 and told them it was time for their early morn- ing breakfast. Some hiked and some rode out to Antelope Park where they ate pancakes, toasted cheese and yum sandwiches, fried potatoes, cocoa and apples. Those attending this breakfast were: Mr. and Mrs. Reinmuth, Sterling Wallace, Evelyn Sherrig, Walter Howard, Mavis Betts, Herbert Hill, Lenora Parker, Richard Carter, Martin Wiedeman, Christine Gardner, Estol Pruett, Betty Keene, Ernest • Wahlen, Alden Jensen, Robert Conger, Ed- die Shaffer, Wilbur Chapman, Desa Bonjour, Elmer Jackson, Betty Kynell, Bonnie Hohlier, Bill Noland, Jane Kivachuk, Paul Joice, Elaine Johnson and Lillian Neuharth. One of Union College's facul- ty members was given recogni- tion for his erudite work in hav- ing part of his Master's thesis re- produced in a memorial volume dedicated to the high priest of the Parsis in Bombay, India in 1924. Dr. I. F. Blue, Chairman of the Department of Religion, com- pleted the work on his Master's degree at the University of Ne- braska in 1923. Having previous- ly been a missionary to India for eight years, he had availed him- self of the excellent opportunities to observe and study the customs, people, and religions of that country; hence he studied at the University such subjects as would prepare him for further service during the next seventeen years. According to E. D. Soper in his The Religions of Mankind "the Parsis (a name derived from `Persia') in India are an exclus- ive community of about a hun- dred thousand souls, who have in recent decades prospered great- ly and have become the best ed- ucated and most progressive com- munity in the whole land." The Parsis are the remaining repre- sentatives of the Zoroastrian re- ligion. Among their customs is that of presenting to a man before he dies a memorial volume con- taining a record of his deeds and a number of scholarly writings on various subjects. Such a volume was dedicated to Dorab Dastur Pershottan Sanjana, high priest of the Parsis in Bombay. This par- ticular volume contained contri- butions from scholars over the world on the study of Zoroastrian- ism. At the suggestion of Dr. L. H. Gray, now with the Columbia University b u t formerly Dr. Blue's major professor at the Uni- versity of Nebraska, the section of Dr. Blue's dissertation concern- ing Zorastrianism was included in the collection of scholarly writ- ings. Dr. Blue completed his studies for his Doctor of Philosophy de- gree in August, 1941, at the Uni- versity of Southern California. His thesis for this advanced de- gree was entitled: "Some factors of the Hindu-Moslem tension in India." Recently the University of Southern California has asked Dr. Blue to revise his thesis and per- mit it to be published to be used as a text-book in the World Re- ligion classes. In addition to his research in the field or religion, Dr. Blue stud- ied extensively in the field of philology. He has a reading knowledge of all and in several cases a speaking knowledge of Latin, Greek, German, French, Urdu, Hindi, Persian, Arabic, Sanscrit, Gujerati, Ivlarathi, and Hebrew. Dr. Blue stated that once he had grasped the funda- mentals of some of the Oriental languages that he found the others became easy to learn. —Laundry Works Overtime— Over five tons of laundry were handled by the Union College laundry in five days. From Wed- nesday, October 28 to Monday night, November 2, 10,878 pounds of commercial laundry were done here. The main part of this large quantity of laundry came from the Lincoln and Capitol Hotels of Lin- coln. The hotel laundries, where the work is ordinarily done, are temporarily incapacitated. The hotels solve their own pick- up and delivery problems by com- ing here to get the clean laundry every morning, and at the same time bringing the washing for that day. Most of this laundry is flatwork including sheets, pillow cases, hand towels, napkins, and table- cloths, long enough to reach from the laundry building to South Hall (more or less). Compare this amount of flatwork with the 1500 pounds that is the average amount of student flat laundry per week. The mangle, on which the sheets are ironed, sends out as many as 284 sheets an hour; and Gladys Brown and Mary Ann Johnson can fold sheets that fast. The laundry girls are hoping that priorities won't prevent the laundries of the Capitol and the Lincoln Hotels from securing re- pairs for their machinery. They don't want to be doing the hotel laundry for the "duration." Incidentally, the extra work in the laundry affects the power house boys, too. They have to remain on duty at night as long as the girls work to keep up steam for the mangle. SabbathSchoolReport Draws Recognition Union College Sabbath School secretaries proved that reports can be interesting as well as informa- tive. An article commending the resourcefulness of Oscar Torkle- son, Violet Hanson and Helen Carpenter in their 1941-42 secre- taries reports appeared in the Oc- tober 1942 issue of the Sabbath School Worker. Although the complete reports were not printed, eleven sug- gestions which epitomized the re- ports conveyed to the Union Col- lege Sabbath School presented ideas to be used in other schools. Comment on the reports in the Worker described them as "a group of secretaries' reports during the past school year that caused the members of the Sabbath School to wait eagerly for the next one to be given." They were portrayed by a tele- phone conversation; a phonograph record; a special-delivery letter; a Sabbath School appreciation class quiz; a lunch basket; a read- ing; a Mother's Day reminiscence; a mirror; a newspaper; a radio broadcast; and a calendar of im- portant events. (Continued from page 1) pines, items from Pitcairn Island, and many other interesting muse- um pieces. In charge of the mu- seum this year are Goro Mori- kone and Edward Reynolds under the supervision of Dr. Marsh, as- sociate professor of biology. The history of the museum goes back to the founding of Un- ion College. At that time the mu- seum was in a large room on the west side of fourth floor in North Hall. Later it was moved to the fourth floor of the administration building and in recent years has been transferred to its present lo- cation. Professor W. W. Prescott, first president of this institution, brought from Denver the large showcases and the bird collection, which was then one of the best in the Middlewest. Elder M. E. Cornell donated the clay tablets; the Pitcairn Island pieces were given by a missionary, Miss Hat- tie Andre. Through the years other pieces have been donated. The latest addition is the gift of Philippine Island shells by Mrs. B. L. An- derson, missionary. The biology department wel- comes all visitors and students to see this varied array of specimens from many parts of the world. Miss Pearl Hall, instructor in Romance Languages, gave a waf- fle supper on her birthday which was November 4. Guests were Misses Elizabeth Cowdrick, Eu- nice Marsh, Maurine Peterson, Floda Smith, Esther Sonnenberg, "Doll" Stahnke, Frances Stod- dard, Dorothy Sampson and Irma Watt. THE CLOCK TOWER, NOVEMBER 11, 1942 Records Made by Speech Students "0 wad some Power the giftie gie us To see ourselves as ithers see us! It wad frae monie a blunder free us, An' foolish notion: What airs in dress an' gait wad lea'e us, An' ev'n devotion!" The seventy students in the speech fundamentals class have been recording their speeches. Most of the speakers have not recognized their own voices when they have heard them played. Wil- liam Nolan said that his voice sounded faintly familiar, and that he heard some odd squeaks that he was unaware of making. Del- mer Holbrook said that his voice sounded nothing at all like it was supposed to sound. He said, "It sounded like a small child talking." Phyllis Follett, on hearing Del- mer's record, remarked that it was good and that he made only one bobble in it. The records are being made so that the students' speech problems may be analyzed. The most im- portant gain is that each student can hear his own mistakes plainly. Hearing in this way will give strong incentives for correction. Colporteurs (Continued from page 1) Heinrich, John Herr, Delmer Hol- brook, Clifford Johnson, Oliver Johnston, Edward and Vernon Koenig, William K o s t e nk o, George MacLean, Charles Lickey, Gerald McHenry, James Mershon, Wayne Moore, Wayne Olson, Gordon Osgood, George Pierson, Shirley Rosenthal, Harley Schan- der, James Stevens, Oscar Torkel- son, Harold Wernick and Adrian Woods. Despite the critical paper shortage, Mr. Bowes, in a short speech, assured the student au- dience that the Pacific Press will be prepared to meet the growing demand for publications. "We were fortunate in securing by contract this valuable commodi- ty," he declared. Enumerating the list of last summer's literature evangelists, Elder Cross remarked, "We hope they'll have a repeat perform- ance." • The Clock Tower ex- tends its sympathy to Mary Bess Johnson upon the death of her father October 31 at Greeley, Colorado. Mary Bess at- tended Union College dur- ing the school year 1941- 42 and worked in the bookbindery. At present she is teaching church school at Delta, Colorado. its customs, religions and its life in general—was presented by the Urdu class in native costume Fri- day night, November 6, at Mis- sion Band, under the leadership of James Franklin Ashlock. "Seventh-day Adventism has grown phenomenally in the last decade in India," remarked Elder C. K. Simpson, translator of the Urdu language at Union. "This denomination now has one hun- dred mission stations and over fourteen thousand scattered Sab- bath-keepers in India," he con- tinued. The development of future missionaries to the Urdu peoples of India is the object of the Urdu class, taught by Mrs. I. F. Blue. Students enrolled in Urdu and iparticipators in the program were George MacLean, Harold Roll, Salisbury Zytkoskee, Paul Kern- per, James Stevens, Elmer Jack- son and Etna Rose. Mavis Ching-Beckner Returns To Union It's dormitory life again for Mavis Ching Beckner. Her hus- band, Joe Beckner, who was grad- uated from Union College in 1940, was inducted into the army and left Sunday night, November 1. So Mavis, who was a student here last year, came back to Un- ion College. She will work full time for the first semester for Dr. E. N. Dick, dean of the college. She plans to take schoolwork the second se- mester and be graduated in the spring of 1944. The Beckners were married last summer and lived in Eldora- do, Kansas where Mr. Beckner was employed in an airplane factory. He is now stationed at Fort Leav- enworth, Kansas. J. B. Krauss Honored Mr. J. B. Krauss has been hon- ored. The Inland Printer, the fore- most printing magazine in Amer- ica, reproduced as suggestions for 1942 Christmas cards one designed and printed by Mr. Krauss, super- intendent of the Union College Press, for Christmas, 1941. Press Is Busy TSK During a serious discussion of vacations and holidays at meal- time in the dining room, Dr. Marsh queried in his thoughtful manner, "What day is Thanks- giving on this year—Friday?" ( His attempts to explain that he was thinking about Christmas in- stead of Thanksgiving were of no avail! ) Earl Cleek thought he was hav- ing a nightmare in first Greek Friday, November 6, when he saw how tall Elder Rowland was. After he found out that Elder Rowland was standing on a plat- form, he calmed down and the class was allowed to continue. It is really "corny" on third floor in North Hall. Joyce Lyon is raising said vegetable in her room—starting a victory garden no doubt. After the Saturday night pro- gram a group gathered on the porch of North Hall. As it was getting late, Miss Rees said, "Everybody come in now." Del- mer Holbrook took her at her word and barged through the door. Then he suddenly realized that he should have gone the op- posite direction. Similarity of names sometimes causes a little embarrassment to the persons involved. In worship Thursday evening Miss Rees kept insisting that she was glad to see Miss Lohmann back among the girls after her seige of chicken pox. Loretta Loewen, who was the actual victim, thought this quite a laughing matter. When George MacLean couldn't figure out the answer to one of Dr. Blue's questions in a World Religions test, he raised his hand and meekly inquired, "Does originality count?" James Lewis is slightly absent- minded. During his sleep one morning he got up when the alarm clock rang, stopped it, then got back in bed, and finally awoke at an hour far too late for class. Then he scolded his roommate for tampering with the alarm clock. It seems that some of the laun- dry workers just can't stop work- ing since they have extra laundry from two downtown hotels. Anna Shaner was found vigorously shaking the bed covers in her sleep one night after she had spent the evening "shaking out" sheets in the laundry.

Urdu Class Presents Colorful Program A colorful pageant of India— We The Village Speak Here at Union College in the great Middlewest there is a large family of enthusiastic students and faculty members. At our col- lege the majority of students live in dormitories. But have you ever heard about the minority living outside of these homes? When you are walking along in the main halls just before the first class in the morning and you meet a "wide-awake" looking student with a cheery "good morning," did you ever stop to consider that he lives in the village? At that early hour in the morning our "pep" really shines forth in rad- iance. It is unfortunate for us that we don't get all the extra instructions on social affairs and table man- ners. However, we tried not to be too handicapped because of these in rolling in the subs. However, you inside students will admit that without the village something would truly be lacking Don't pity us too much for not having the privilege of being in on dormitory pranks and feeds. You see, we are a quiet, home- loving bunch of folk, but we do make new friends. Come around! Museum Orders are piling up in the � Dr. Hagstotz was found study- press.

I secured a three-day pass last Friday and took a crowded bus ride to At- lanta, Georgia, to see my brother, Everett. He is stationed at the Atlanta Motor Base. I was thor- oughly enjoying my liberty, and nearly forgot my military status. Enroute to town, a man in uni- form offered me a ride. His field jacket covered all his "hardware", so I casually answered his ques- tions with "uh huh." "Yes sir, when you are speak- ing to a colonel!" he returned. Once more I realized that I was in the army. Clarence Dye must be follow- ing or leading me around. He was at Union when I left; he was at the Colorado campmeeting when I was in Denver; and now I find him again in Atlanta. A native of Lincoln, Jimmie Aldrickson, was glad to look over the 1942 Golden Cords. Like most of us, he's in the army, too. Dotty Evans asks, "How is Miss Rees?" A Mr. Meisnes, celloist from New York, questioned, "Did you see anything of my brother Oscar II "Mr. Bones, I presume." "No, you are addressing Oscar II the celebrated man about ana- tomy lab." He hangs five feet, eight inches and rules supreme over the bewildered students who try to memorize his skeleton. Sac- rimal, zygomatic, ischium, ilium, binato—sounds like a class in Ur- du, but it is just another lesson in anatomy. Every Sunday, Monday and Fri- day afternoon Oscar II is brought from his seclusion in the closet to be examined by the students and explained by Marie Sanders. Mer- cedes England, Harold Wernick and Edward Reynolds assist in helping the students understand the structure of the human skele- ton. If you want to see what you really look like under all that—, call for Oscar II in room 207. Broom Shop High In Production Fifteen workers in the Lincoln Broom Works produce more than 200 dozen brooms per week, and the shop takes in an average of $3000 a month from the sale of brooms, according to M. P. Clem, superintendent of the college broom shop. Brooms are shipped south to Kansas; east to Atlantic, Iowa; north to Sioux Falls, South Da- kota; and west to Grand Island, Nebraska. All the orders which come in cannot be filled because of the limited number of workers. (Continued in next column.) out there?" and "What is Al Mazart doing?" Marvin Dick won- dered about his brother, Avery, and Mr. Just said his brother, Jack, was in California. The Atlanta Dental College has quite a drawing power. Be- sides Kansas, New York, et. al., China has its representative in the persons of Elder Hughes and family. It's a small world we live in. I have put a check mark by the picture in the Golden Cords of the Unionites I've seen since I left, and it stacks up to thirty- eight, besides Mr. Hartman and the Hagstotzes. Back at Camp Rucker this morning, I was somewhat star- tled when Walter Crawford step- ped from the chow line and said, "I know you." We had breakfast together and of course we expect to see each other quite often, as we are in neighboring units. The army has been pretty good to me, but I like Union much better. Most of all I miss our vesper services, worship periods, and the cafeteria. Adventist meals come only once a week now days. I plan to come back some day. Cpl.

Another Stag Table It was Tuesday night. The wind howled around the corner of the building as the threatening black cloud swept across the sky. A storm was approaching. Five boys took their places around a table in the dining room. They had worked all afternoon at their monotonous tasks. How they needed that "something" to bring joy and culture to their lives. Would they be disappointed? With eager eyes they watched the cafeteria exits. Why did that man rush that bottle of milk on his tray? Couldn't he hesitate just a moment? But he plundered through the door just two steps of a charming would-be hostess to stand by the remaining empty place, while the girl lifted her dishes to the hostess' place at the adjacent table. It happened— another "stag table"! The six men sat down and swallowed their beans in silence. ACADEMY NEWS La Ree Applegate has been chosen to act as the academy stu- dents' librarian for their branch library on fourth floor of the ad- ministration building. Ann Lee Lyon is now at home recuperating from blood poison- ing in her hand. This year there are thirteen academy students working in the college industries. Blossom Church, Ruth Benton, Shirley Morris, and Doreen Cadwallader are employed in the laundry. In the training school Ruth Wilson, Norma Jean Krauss, and Merlene Ogden a r e working. Donald Holmes and Tommy Ashlock do odd jobs on the campus; and Dean and Francis Paap and Don Jensen work in the college furni- ture factory. John Thacker does janitor work in the administration building. Out Boor Stoves Beckon Prospective Picnickers The newly built stove and patio behind North Hall are now avail- able to those preferring their meals out in the open. This out- door stove and patio were con- structed on the lot east of the girl's dormitory, under the direc- tion of Miss Rees, dean. The stove was built during the sum- mer and the patio was completed Sunday morning October 18. Wil- lard Christensen and the summer school girls worked on the stove. Willard did the building while the girls carried the bricks. After a waffle breakfast in the spread room the morning of Oc- tober 18, North and South Hall committes began work on the patio. Helping in this work were Georgianna Spanos, Veta Mae Longfellow, Ruth Wiltse, Helen Johnson, Naoma Draper, Violet Hanson, George MacLean, James Chase, Jack Bowers, Charles Hagenberg and Ira Pound. Some carried the sand and bricks, others laid the bricks, while the rest shoveled and swept the sand into place. With this teamwork, the patio was finished before the morning ended. Everything is now ready for the "feeds" students have been discussing and plan- ning. MISS SMITH VISITS FORMER STUDENTS Miss Floda Smith, librarian, spent the week end of October 31 to November 1, in Emporia, Kansas visiting Mr. and Mrs. Ramon R. Cronk. Ramon gradu- ated from Union in the spring of 1942, and Lela Thompson Cronk attended Union College from 1940 to 1942. Ramon and Lela • Kremer Pain • LINCOLN, 4725 Prescott Ave. Candy And Pennants To Be Sold By Men Girls, buy your candy and Un- ion College pennants at South Hall. Most of you remember that the boys are sending Clock Tow- ers to the former students of Un- ion who are now in the army. A candy and notions counter is to be installed to provide for this expense and to be a constant source of income for the men's club. Sigma Iota Kappa officers will push this project because experi- ence has shown a need of some definite means of raising money. You girls should keep in mind that this project is indirectly help- ful to you too, for one of the club's biggest expenses is the en- tertainment which it gives for you. Building of the counter has not yet started because Lawrence Rahn, the carpenter, has been kept busy on the bindery steam- fitting job. But as soon as he is released from this job, he is go- ing to install the showcase in the south portion of the receiving desk in the boys' dormitory. worked for Miss Smith in the library while they were in school. At present Mr. Cronk is work- ing with Mr. Francis Ruddle an- other young minister, in a series of evangelistic meetings. Miss Smith said, "Their meeting place is called the Hall of Prophecy. It seats one hundred people. Sun- day night, November 1, the sub- ject was 'Armageddon', and the hall was full." Through fortunate contacts Mr. Cronk has been able to secure some time on radio station KT SW in Emporia. Immediately fol- lowing the Voice of Prophecy pro- gram on Sunday evenings, he is allowed to announce his own cam- paign in Emporia. t and Supply NEBRASKA Phone 4-2662
