WOMEN'S MEDICAL CADET CORPS FORMS "Forward March HUT-two- three-four, HUT-two-three-four, Companeeeeee halt." Thus Dr. Dick commands the young ladies in the Women's Medical Cadet Corps. a course designed to pre- pare our girls in first aid acid nursing, and to improve posture and general health. As a denomi- nation S. D. A's believe that girls as well as boys should be prepared to aid our government in case of emergency, and it is to this end that the W.M.C.C. was organized. The girls have put their hearts into the project and are earnestly studying the fundamental military movements. They have learned to obey, even if it means hair whip- ping about their mouth, nose, and eyes, or a bee alighting on their, nose during the command - Atten- tion. - Every hand stays right in place. Yes, we're in the army now. At the time of writing the uni- forms have not come. They are to be light blue-grey gaberdine suits with a pleated skirt, military cut jacket, overseas cap, and a white 'blouse. (Continued on page 3.) One Hundred Voices In New Chorus A mixed chorus of one hun- dred voices under the direction of H. A. Miller, head of the De- partment of Music, has been ten- tatively formed. There will be two rehearsals each week. At the last meeting a committee for the nom- ination of officers was chosen from the floor. Those on the com- mittee are: Vernon Burgeson, chairman, Gordon Carle, Wilbur Chapman, Betty Jane Keene, and Valerie Ware. The activities of the chorus will include a public performance near Christmas time. The organization will also 'prepare such numbers as: "The Lost Chord" by Sulli- van. "How Lovely are Thy Dwellings", by Liddle, "Blessing and Glory", by Rachmaninoff, and "Gloria", from the Twelfth Mass, by Mozart. rr VOL.

Ministerial Groups Elect Heads 'To better prepare men and women who will be able to an- swer the gospel commission, "Go ye into all the world," the Min- isterial Association and the Mis- sion Band have organized again this year. Last Friday evening a large group of students who plan to be members of the two organiza- tions met and selected a nomi- nating committee composed of David Rose, Harold Wernick, Gideon Haas, Charles Lickey, Tames Chase, Charles Seitz, and James Pogue who are to choose officers.

Enthusiasm for this great soul saving work is high, and all evidences point forward to even greater advancement for the corn- ing year. In order to get a more practical understanding of the true value of the canvassing work to the individ- ual student, these following sen- tence statements come from some of the colporteurs Who were' out on the front lines 'of the "Advance Guard" last summer: (Continued on page 3) • ELDER I.

Last year's successful campaign was also led by Elder Blue. College Press Installs Linotype The College Press is installing a new model 31 Linotype machine which is the newest design in a type setting machine. With the machine a complete new type face called Caledonia is being furnish- ed. This type face was designed a very short time ago by W. A. Deviggins of Hingham, Massachu- setts. 'He is one of the outstanding type designers of the present day. In future issues of the Clock Tower, readers will find this new type face not only more legible, but. also more readable, as it was designed with readability as its outstanding, characteristic. This Linotype machine- gives some much needed equipment to the College Press and we are very happy to be receiving it. In order that the city of Lin- coln and the near-by small towns might be worked more efficiently, the student body and faculty have been divided into eighteen college bands and one academy band. The groups vary in size from twenty to twenty-five students in each. The leaders of the groups are: Mavis Betts, Harold Wer- nick, George MacLean, Violet Hanson, Vivian Meyers, Dale Aalborg, Charles Lickey, Paul Kemper, James Chase, Oscar Torkelson, LeRoy Leiske, James Stevens, James Pogue, Oscar Heinrich, Marie Sander, Mercedes England, and John Boyd. The groups have set goals of $60.00 each and the band leaders are confident that they will easily obtain that much. Last year two bands accounted for more than $100.00 each. On Tuesday the groups scat- tered far and near to solicit the farming communities. The resi- dential district of Lincoln will be solicited by singing bands during the evenings of this week. The "All-Out for Victory" campaign closes October 5, when reports will be made in chapel. Last year the students were organized in the same way as they are this year. The goal was $50.00 per band or a combined goal of $1000.00. The total amount raised was about $1200.00.

C. HARTMAN '21 '46, Jane Kivachuck '46, Jean aillk Who has not heard some "bright" inhabitant of the campus quote these trite words: "Don't let your studies interfere with your college education." With due defer- ence to the social amenities and to the student's naive ef- fort to be humorous, one feels at first under obligation to do a little fake laughing and let it go at that. But the more one thinks about the statement, the more one becomes convinced that it contains a substantial truth. Education is not to be measured only in terms of stu- dies and courses. There are entirely too many students pursuing their studies—literally pursuing: the studies are always ahead of them. Education in the final anaylsis is not merely a matter of learning and accumulating a mass of facts, but rather a process of learning how to think correctly. To think is a matter of intelligence; intelligence is a matter of wisdom and attitudes. Most students do not need more information to begin with; the essential difficulty is that they do not think about the informa- tion which they already have. The big thing then in ed- ucation is the development of right attitudes: right attitudes towards life, towards one's fellow-man, towards religion, towards courtship and marriage—in fact, towards every phase of human experience. An old Chinese proverb symbolized by three monkeys (in form of paper weights, bookends, etc.) reads: "speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil." A philosopher recently said there should be a fourth monkey—one who thinks no evil. That would eliminate the other three because if one thinks no evil, the speaking, seeing, and hearing evil will not take place. Incidently it would also do away with a lot of monkeys and monkey :business. One living monkey who thinks is better than half a dozen or more who don't think. Moral: Think! Guest Editorial—H. G. Reinmuth Iltriat's Rohm Roll . . . The spirit and the traditions of Union have come into being during the past fifty-two years. One of these traditions is the one engraved on the plaque to the boys in the army, "Union never forgets her own." The word- ing of this is interesting, for in order to have Union re- member us we must become her own. Before the end of this school year, no doubt, many names of those in the service of this country will be added to the plaque in the hall. Union will not forget them, and what is more important they will not forget Union; for if they have taken advantage of the opportunities here, Un- ion's spirit will have become a part of them. E.D. 2 THE CLOCK TOWER, SEPTEMBER 30, 1942 BOOKS The Educational Theories of John Ruskin Hilda Boettcher Hagstotz Many books, studies, and ar- ticles have been written concerning the distinguished English art critic, prose stylist, and active social worker, John Ruskin. Dr. Hagstotz' book focuses at- tention on him from a new angle. She shows that he also deserves a distinguished place as an educa- tional crusader whose theories were to have great influence. She pre- sents a complete and well-rounded picture of his ideas in the educa- tional field, so many of which seemed revolutionary at the time but were adopted by later genera- tions in America as well as Eng- land. To artists, art critics, literary men, social theorists, educators, Ruskin is a figure of unique inter- est. They will welcome an inter- esting, thorough-going, and well- documented book dealing with him from a fresh approach. Hilda Boettcher Hagstotz, a na- tive of Kansas, took her B. A. de- gree at Union College, Lincoln, Nebraska, and has M. A. and Ph. D. degrees from the University of Nebraska. She is Associate Pro- fessor of English in Union College, Lincoln, Nebraska. DR. H. G. REINMUTH, Professor of Modern Languages (See Guest Editorial) English Classes Are Popular Half the student body is en- rolled in English classes. Latest confirmed statistics re- veal that one hundred thirty-two students are attending freshman composition classes. Literature and ether composition classes are be- ing taught to fifty-four students who are anxious to make their education culturally well-rounded. Mr. Cobb head of the English department, teaches freshman com- position to more than fifty stu- dents, and Dr. Hilda B. Hagstotz instructs two other sections of the same class. Mrs. R. W. Fowler, who has been employed since school opened, is teaching the fourth section of these one hun- dred thirty-two students who are building a vital foundation in the ose of their mother tongue. CHAPEL Elder L. G. Jorgensen, Home Missionary Secretary, of the Cen- tral Union Conference, spoke Friday on the harvest ingather- mg program for Union College this week. Mr. Jorgensen was :onfident that the college students ,would achieve victory in reach- ing the goal. Giving a definition of victory, he said, "It is a symbol of a- chievement, advancement, and r-onquering.", adding that success in attaining victory means hard work, diligence, struggle and forging ahead! He urged that the students forge ahead for victory when participating in the annual Harvest Ingathering field day, giv- mg this work nothing less than every ounce of energy and de- termination. V for victory. for ingathering. C for courage. T for time it takes. 0 for opportunity. R for results. Y for youth who stand ready to work. The very beginning of ingath- ering thirty four years ago was contrasted with the work as it has developed today. Attention was brought to the encouraging re- sults of this year's work which has been completed in various fields, in spite of the war. In- gathering here is a different pic- ture than in many territories.

Elder Jorg- ensen stated that Union's students are in uniform here for the King of Kings, fighting the battles of every day life. He expressed the hope that the every day battles of each student would be won for right and for the good things of life. In closing he told of the out- :tanding purpose of ingathering, that of dropping a word of cheer or comfort here and there, and to brighten the hopes of all with whom contact is made. all that any woman can talk about is the NEW feather-edge trim hair-cut. Way-back in 1926 Prof. Jorg- enson already had a clever way of springing surprise quizzes ...

Elementary School Director Reports On September 24, Mr. E. M. Cadwallader, director of elemen- tary teacher training and princi- pal of the elementary demonstra- tion school, left by train for Keene Texas where he presented a course of study for elementary schools to the conference of church school teachers. This course of study came out of the feeling of the Southwestern, Central, and Northern Conferences that a better course of study should be produced for church schools in these conferences. Representatives from each conference met this sum- mer at Union College to take a course in elementary education. Mr. E. M. Cadwallader was appointed to head this group and to explain o the conference at Keene this book, A Course of Studies for(Pa- rochial) Schools. Three of the seventy-three teachers who helped prepare this outline attended the curricular workshop at the Univer- sity of Nebraska so that adequate material could be gathered for the course. Later this fall Mr. Cadwal- lader will attend other conven- tions and present the same material. Professor Miller states that he does not intend to build up the Music Department, because he feels that five flights of stairs is quite a sufficient number to climb in search of a musical training. (The music studios are located on the fifth floor.) Women Cadets (Continued from page 1.) In the training the girls are taught to be practical and to con- serve. For this reason they have decided to get the most use of their uniforms by wearing them the entire day the class meets instead of just during the class period.

A newswriting class of about twelve students, under the instructorship of Mr. Jerry L. Pettis, was quite rigorous- ly initiated into the duties of news- paper reporting the very first day that the class met. While learning the various - tricks of the trade" of successful newspaper reporting, the class will obtain actual experience as report- ers of their school paper, the Clock Tower. Each member of the class has been assignd one or more "beats", (in newspaper language) and he will 'be responsible for re- porting all the news from his terri- tory. The Clock Tower has under- gone several significant changes this year. It is a smaller paper but will be published every week and will contain news while it is still news. A new head has been de- signed and a new type of print has been employed. The first issue of the year came out last Wednesday, September 23, and met with hearty approval in the student body. Mr. Pettis, who is sponsoring the paper, has had past experience a a news reporter and is going to make it rank at the top of all our school publications. And that is what the students of (Union want. The total enrollment for this tall is now 405. There are 209 boys and 196 girls who have registered thus far. This year the enrollment of boys exceeded that of last year by 1. Last September's enrollment of boys was 208 and this September it is 209.

You can never know how much I would like to be there. This week has been very hard on me. My mind was not in the army. You guess why. It is the week in which I would have started school if I were in civil- ian life. Some day I'll be back in school, if it is the Lord's will. I'm certainly looking forward to those days. Here's hoping it will be next fall. I believe I'll stay in good old U.S.A. this winter. However it is plenty tough even over here. The other night we went on an eighteen mile hike. It almost kill- ed me! I thought of you and that innerspring mattress which was in our room last year. What wouldn't I give to sleep on it for another school year. Sincerely Pvt. Harry Haas Even ministerial students would get a new conception of living religion if they met it in the Army. Those ministerials in our group are having the time of their spiritual lives talking in simple and realistic terms the principles of faith and Christian living to careless but interested soldiers, lending Bibles, giving Bible studies, leading out in camp and in Abilene church and young people's meetings, etc. And those who had M.C.C. training, as most of them have, claim that it has given them not only a head start over their comrades but also a better knowledge and deeper in- sight of military discipline and Editor's note: We are very sorry that several mistakes crept into the last Clock Tower.

Let me know how the M.C.C. is getting along. Greet the boys for me, and tell them they're in a much better outfit under a much better in- structor than they can realize till they see the Army way as I'm seeing it. And tell them, that three or more years of M.C.C., if they do a good job, will show up ten times as much to their ad- vantage as will just one year, even though that very good one year can be seen on the boys in a very marked and favorable manner.
