4 The Library Campaign Is On This Is the Senior Number CLOCK TOWER Union---The College of the Golden Cords 1 i11111111111111111111111111111111.111111111111111111111111111111111116 RULES ARE STATED Men and Women to Vie with Each Other in Soliciting Money for New Building Project To raise funds for a new UNION COLLEGE LIBRARY a campaign was launched with the most enthusiastic school spirit of the year at a special student assembly in the chapel Wednes- day. The drive will take place in the form of a contest between the .young men and the young women. Prof. G. W. Habenicht, chairman of the special events committee, was master of cere- monies. Henry Brown gave specifica- tional data on the proposed edifice, after which Mae Sorensen and Kimber John- son, leaders of the contesting factions,' gave pep talks that filled the students with determination. Before giving inside information about the specifications of the new library, Mr. Brown surveyed the conditions existing in the present one. He pointed out• that books and periodicals are scattered about in various locations in the Administraton building, that seating space is inade- quate, and that stacks are crowded. Specifications Given The main reading room wil seat 140 . or 150 persons. In addition to double-' tier stacks 16 feet tall with space for 65,000 volumes, the building will contain a large browsing room furnished with easy chairs and a leisurely atmosphere. ' Seminar rooms will make group study possible, and eighteen cubicles situated near the stacks will simplify private study. The reserve book room will ac- commodate about 75 persons, and remov- able partitions will facilitate its enlarge- ment if seating space is ever found. in,' adequate. A good-sized cataloguing room will be provided, and the librarian will have a respectable office. Glass bricks on the north side of the building will furnish lighting in addi- tion to adequate window space on the other three sides, and the edifice will be constructed for air-conditioning. Leaders Give Talks Mae Sorensen, leader of the young women, gave a curt, rousing pep talk, declaring that the girls, 200 strong, are 100 per cent behind the project. Then the entire group of young women, deter.- mined to win, arose and sang "There's a team that's always happy . � " to the tune of "Smiles." Kimber Johnson, young men's leader, answered with a "bed-time story" about. the mighty battle between Lady Rees' • haughty maidens and Sir Habenicht's • gallant knights, and about the "Castle of Research" that was erected as a mon-. ument to the "Battle of Letters." The knights won, of course, but they !loved their enemies." � . � _ •••••••••••••••••••••••••• CAI_EN lump February 26. 6:14 p. m. Sunset 6:40 p. m. Student Ministerial assn 7:45 p. m.

XI � COLLEGE VIEW STATION, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, FEBRUARY 26, 1937 � No. 12 Students Launch Drive To Raise Library Funds New Union College Library Delegates of Union Meet Twelfth Quadrennial Session of Central Union Convenes at College View Church OFFICERS ELECTED Banquet is Sponsored for Guests in Dining Hall to Promote Plans for Library Campaign One hundred sixty-seven delegates from nine conferences of the Middle West and the General conference at- tended the twelfth quadrennial session of the Central union here from February 16 to 23. The meetings were held in the big S. D. A. church adjoining the camp- us, and the visitors took their meals at the college cafeteria, Union college being host to the convention. The guests were entertained at a ban- quet in the dining hall Thursday evening, at which the cooperation of the confer- ences was solicited in the new library campaign. Northern Union Reorganized Outstanding among the actions of the body was the dissolution of the merger of the Central and the Northern unions, formed five years ago, dividing the nine states into two conferences as before 1932. Officers for the Central union are: J. F. Piper, president; S. J. Lashier, secre- tary-treasurer; R. J. Christian. M. V. sec- retary; A. H. Rulkoetter, educational sec- retary; D. E. Reiner, home missionary secretary; and J. M. Jackson, field secre- tary. E. H. Oswald was elected presi- dent of the Northern union. Associated with him are A. R. Smouse, secretary- treasurer; K. L. Gant, M. V. secretary; and P. D. Gerrard, field secretary. Maxwell Discusses Calendar Intense interest marked the last meeting of the conference when Elder A. S. Max- well, recent delegate to Geneva, related to a packed house his stirring experience of ferretting out the insidious powers be- hind the blank-day calendar reform, a movement which has gained a new hear- ing at the League, according to a cable- gram just received by Elder Maxwell. The victory of 1931, when considera- tion of the calendar change was indefi- nitely postponed, is by no means perma- nent, the speaker emphatically declared. Propagators of the plan have cunningly got in at the "back door" of the Leave with a new resolution, camouflaged with altruistic motives for labor, he revealed. And now, affirmed the champion for the present calendar, the battle must be fought all over again. � CT � Elder Christian Speaks in Church The education a student receives in trying to get an education is of more value to him than the actual knowledge he obtains, said Elder L. H. Christian, vice-president of the General conference, in the eleven o'clock service held for the students in the Union college chapel Sabbath morning, February 20. He pointed out that when choosing some man for a difficult position he val- ued the opinion of the student's fellow classmates far more than that of his teachers; the students size each other up quite accurately. Mr. Christian has spent many years in Europe and he told of several of his in- teresting experiences in Persia and Rus- sia. He stated that the youth were the moving power of the world today both in Europe and America, and that Union college students, as American youth, are held responsible for their education and enthusiasm. Mildred Priest New Kappa Theta Leader Reorganization of Kappa Theta, girls' club of North hall, for the second se- mester was completed under a new set of officers at a recent assembly of the girls. The elected members are as follows: Mildred Priest, president; Lucille Roder- ick, vice-president; Anna Marie Krieger, secretary; Marjorie Willey, assistant secretary; Elinor Staples, critic; Irene Peterson, assistant critic; Goldie Eastin. sergeant-at-arms; Alene Gibbons, assist- ant sergeant-at-arms. Two program committees were selected by the groups. Chairman of the first is Felicia Wright, with Helen McComb and Mabel Phillips working with her. Of the second committee Ruth Croak is chairman, with Margaret O'Dea and Nina Dahl as associates. "Self-improvement" is the general theme of the programs being planned for the second semester, according to Miss Priest. Meetings will be held on Wed- nesday evenings as usual when that evening is no longer needed for the social relations course. CT � Looking Back By EVELYN KELLSTROM One of the character i s• tics always attributed to a senior is the habit of looking for- ard to the big things he expects to do as he gradu- ates. But in reality there is mingled with this looking forward and excitement of getting a job a certain tendency to look back—a deep regret that the best four years of his life are over. His picture of the future is often bedimmed—and sometimes entirely blotted out—by the sweet memories of his college days. And we seniors of 1937 recall many tender scenes as we turn the leaves of our heart's memory book. Our college education has given us more than "read- ing, writing, and 'rithmetic;" it has given us friendships we will treasure through life, an appreciation of the best in litera- ture, science, art, and nature, and what is above all else, a vision. One of our most precious memories is that of Friday evening vesper services: reverent music and singing, silent prayer, spiritual talks and testimonies. No Unionite can ever forget these experi- ences! Looking back we seniors can re- member the Harvest Ingathering field days we've spent and the fun at the auction sales at their close; the CLOCK TOWER and Golden Cords campaigns we've supported; the Hallowe'en hikes, open houses, and banquets of each year; Continued on page 4 Judges Announce Winning Orators Preliminaries for the 1937 oratorical contest held Tuesday and Wednesday this week determined the contestants for the final meet in the college chapel the evening of March 6 to be the following: Floyd Byers, Willis Hackett, Glenn Marcoe, Clyde Kearbey, Chester Wick- wire, and Hampton White. "Made in U. S. A.", given by Mr. Byers, is an attack on the international munitions game. In "America, Where Are You Going?" Willis Hackett set forth a plea for the preservation of re- ligious liberty. Glenn Marcoe's "Dilemma of Modern Youth" was an attempt to find a way out of the maze in which modern youth finds itself. As a plea for legislation to save the country from the drug habit, Clyde Kearbey gave "Papa- der somniferium (the poppy)." In "Give Us a Chance" Chester Wickwire appealed to the world to save modern youth from its present situation. An attack on religious legislation was Hamp- ton White's "Shall We Substitute G- Men for Jesus Christ?" Prizes for the best orations will be as follows: first prize, fifty dollar scholar- ship; second prize, a thirty-five dollar scholarship; third prize, twenty-five dol- lar scholarship. Judges for the final contest will be selected from off the campus. � CT � Moving Pictures Shown at German Club Meeting Three reels of moving pictures on "Winter Sports in Germany" were shown at the regular meeting of the German club Thursday night. Dr. H. K. Schil- ling, guest of the club, spoke on the "Advantages of Studying German." The club meeting was opened with the usual community sing. The German band fur- nished instrumental music throughout the program. Two reels, "Rhoenwheel" and "Call of the Olympic Bell," were shown on February 11 to the forty-five members of the German club. At that time Kurt Kurz, German student at Union this year, told of his trip to Germany during the last summer. CT � Seniors Lead Out in Sabbath School Members of the senior class composed the choir and program committee of the Sabbath school February 20. Kimber Johnson was superintendent and Irene Johnson was secretary. Other members on the program were Fred Lee and A. K. Phillips, who gave the Scripture reading and the review respectively. A vocal duet was rendered by Myrtle Barker and Elinor Staples. Another music-al number 'was given by the girls' sextet. The choir, under the direction of Glenn Fillman, also supplied special music. Seniors Reorganize for Second Semester Kimber Johnson, First Semester President, Re-elected on Third Ballot All but one of the twenty members of the graduating class met together Wednesday evening for reorganization under second semester officers, with Prof. Frank H. Yost, member of the committee on academic standards, acting as chairman. A liberal spirit of democ- racy marked the balloting, practically every member receiving at least one vote on the first ballot for some office. Kimber Johnson was re-elected presi- dent on the third ballot. Associated with him will be Felicia Wright, vice-presi- dent; Mrs. T. A. Little, secretary; Floyd Hills, treasurer, and Glenn Fillman, class pastor. Mr. Johnson stated in his inaugural address that he wished to make the business of being seniors more serious the second semester. Other members of the class are Roger Baker, Russell Dybdahl, Clarence Dye, Lilah Beth Hopps, Irene Johnson, Fred Lee, Arthur Martinson, Benjamin Mor- long, A. K. Phillips, Hubert Reed, Mar- garet Rogers, Imogene Schiffner, Elinor Staples, Cleora Turner, and Henry Son- nenberg. A number of summer school 'graduates, not members of the class, were voted the privilege of attendance at class functions not strictly scholastic. CT Looking Forward By ISAAC BERRY Recently at a table in our cafeteria the question was asked, "Why did you come to college?" In answer these reasons were given: � "I saw A. K. talking � to the big shots down in Kansas. � I liked the neat way he was dressed. I wanted to come to Union so I could be like A. K." "My folks sent me. I guess I would have come eventually. Might have been thirty, but I would finally have come." "I came because the rest of the gang came. Nothing else to do; so I came just to be with the gang." Whether we wish to dress up and talk to big shots, or whether the folks send us, or whether we came to be with the gang, or whatever the reason is, the fact remains that we came. Four-hundred students, four-hundred different reasons for coming to college. Now let us change the question from "Why did you come to college?" to "What do you plan to do when you leave college?" and ask it to almost any student who has been here three or four years. If a hundred different students were asked, the answer, though worded differently, should be the same in every case, "I plan to live." A broad state- ment? Yes. Covers everything and says nothing. The meaning is understood in the definition of living. To every man, living connotes something different; but all the graduates of Union have in com- mon one major item—"Living is giving Christian service." It is difficult to finish Union without learning that real life is service for others. The possibilities of any future lie in two things, first, the presence of a good man, and second, the presente of a good training environment. Union is furnishing the good environ- ment. Are you furnishing the man? Leaders of Opposing Sides Rally Followers to Battle in Chapel Wednesday NION'S SUALS & NUSUALS BY IMA USUAL Senior Weaknesses: Clarence Dye—operator, arguer, busi- ness man, Colorado. Chester Wickwire — butler, cars, and New York, Irene Johnson—mathematics, preceptress, and the "go get 'em," and last but not least—sleeping. Myrna Spring—nursing plants, botany and bugs, also inventing a new type of "mouse catcher." Evelyn Kelstrom—stamps, Spanish, and Polish. Kathryn Mills—teaching school, chem- istry, and keeping track of her little sister. Fredrick Lee—"we three", annuals. Myrtle Barker—food, chemistry.

Isaac Berry—chemistry and other indoor sports. Floyd Hills—library science, nominating committees, and knowing the wright people. Margaret Rogers—geometry and asking people to do things. Morton Davis—outstanding in basket- ball and Washington, D. C. Felicia Wright—practice teaching, check- ing at the cafeteria, trills, and 'ills. A. K. Phillips—Likes to make bread and to sell books, especially annuals. Russell Dybdahl — historian, basketball, historian. Elinor Staples—English, singing, and sweet peas.

Kimber Johnson — Colorado, Colorado. and Colorado. Benjamin Morlong—playing ping pong. Myrna's problems: Poor Myrna. She planted a lot of tulips last September. Since then she has tenderly nursed them through dust storms, open house, and study periods. But still the tulips don't blossom. For a while they were gently set in the clothes closet at night—until some mice discovered they could gain their vitamin C by nibbling on tulip, much to Myrna's horror. Now passers-by notice a small pot with a green growth of sprouts about two inches or maybe two and one-half inches tall sitting out in the hall at night. Myrna has almost given up. It was bad enough for tulips (and ferns, too) with the frost and mice, but the latest menace to the public health of her pet flowers is bugs. And what bugs they are. Poor Myrna. Margaret Rogers was found sitting in her room with a distresed look on her face. She had just been to the store and came back with a small package and an ominous look on her face. Finally she slung a small white ball at her famous black caracul and screamed, "I got it! I got it!" It was soon discovered that she was murdering moths and figuring out the exact angle she used. Giving up in despair, she threw her geometry book away and decided that there must be an easier method. The seniors—we're proud of 'em. Best wishes and success for their future. And we remaining behind hope we can gradu- ate within the next ten years or run out of subjects to take. From �• Other Schools Saturday night, February 13, at Walla Walla college was "Club Night" ac- cording to the latest Collegian. On that evening various student organizations and clubs entertained at different places on the campus. This was a new idea in Sat- urday night entertainments. Atlantic Union college is to put on in the near future one of the most extensive building campaigns of any known in Adventist colleges in recent years. The plan is to erect a new administration building and a ladies' dormitory, as well as to repair some of the other buildings De BUNK 0 By "X" No matter how often you meet a dead- line you can never really make friends with it, and that's not the bunk. Get- ting a column of -personalities" up to the CLOCK TOWER office by Sunday noon isn't the bunk either. Now and then I can start off with a whiz and this col- umn gets booted down the home stretch in nothing flat, but most likely after a paragraph or so it dwindles down to a slowly pecked-out phrase. Then I re- sort to window staring, a form of mental anguish which all scribblers suffer, At such times my head begins to feel buzzy like a beehive. Everything goes 'round and 'round but nothing comes out any- place. In a case like that the deadline does its work, and acts as inspiration. Perhaps it's from the old time saying that every dog has its day that schools in general have adopted "senior week", and that this editorial staff decided to dedicate an edition to them. Mr. John R. Lunis has written a book called Was College Worth While. With data based on the records of 541 clasmates, Mr. Lun- is shows that after 25 years their destiny has obviously not matched their aspira- tions. One has a right to expect college graduates to achieve something more than those who did not share their ad- vantages; but he shows that plenty of individuals all over the United States have done "intelligent, fine, brave things" who have never seen the inside of a college, and that all college has produced is a group of men whose chief ambitions, if their records tell the truth, are to vote a Republican ticket, to keep out of the bread line, and to break 100 at golf Of course, Union college graduates were not consulted when this study was made, and one look at our Golden Cords will ease any doubt that it might have in- voked in your minds about our alumni. We're for the seniors, because we know they'll carry on. I asked Russell Dybdahl how it feels to be a senior, and he answered that he feels as good now as he ever did. I ex- perienced a feeling rather akin to that of a moron, but I staggered back at him with another question. I asked what he intended to do after he graduated, and he answered, "Live, I guess." I had an- other new experience; the brief super- iority of the reply made me feel like an imbecile. It was before this, however, that I learned that Russell is from South Dakota, but was born in the big city of Chicago. He's received his entire col- lege training at Union, and I'm almost sure that every one knows he's a history major and that he reads history papers. The fact is ingrained in my mind—I take history, and he reads my papers. "Dybie" says he's a scrap-book editor. He collects poems, and maxims, and ar- ticles from THE CLOCK TOWER. (I bet this will be on the first page.) He is minoring in education, and teaches a class in the academy. More power to him! A kind contributor left this in the CLOCK TOWER office: "T. R. (what a mess he turned out to be) Torkelson better known to the animal kingdom as "Torky", [Bet this won't be on the first page.] was born in an isolated town in some unknown state; believe it was the state of delirium. He takes a great interest in operating flea circuses, and an- nouncing chess games in his sleep. He's a senior this year through no fault of his own; and one shouldn't blame anyone else either." Because we all know "Torky" to be the editor of this paper, the one who fix- es the deadlines, we'll not say any more except that our contributor surely has a vivid imagination plus a keen sense of humor. now on the campus. It is reported the plans call for an expenditure of $230,000. —The Lancastrian. From the Student Forum, of the Enter- prise academy, we learn that the young ladies of that school entertained the boys at open house recently. It was one of the big entertainments of the season. Shattering all previous records for sub- scriptions, the students of Pacific Union college exceeded their goal of 1200 "subs" by 233, making a total of 1445 in all at the, closing hour of the campaign. The upper classmen won over the lower class- men by a slight margin of 35 "subs."

We wish it would have been possible for the students to have attended more of the public meetings. We were thankful, however, it was possible for us to hear the speakers on Friday evening and Sabbath. There is something that inspires a man to do his best when he sees and hears men who have been and are succeeding. It's especially inspirational to know that some of those men were once students like we are in school. To see them now makes us hopeful that there is a chance for us too. To hear Elder Christian, after some of his inspiring sermons, con- fess that he thought he was the most bashful person alive when he was a student here gives us courage in our periods of stage fright to strive on. Furthermore, we're proud of our classmates who are in active work as ministers, teachers, or doctors. * �* One, Two, Three � ! THE LIBRARY CAMPAIGN is on. The situation has been surveyed carefully, plans for attack have been cut and dried, and the forces are ready to charge. All petty animosities have been laid aside, and controversies as to methods of organization and procedure have been put on the shelf. We are back of the program mind, body, and soul to fulfill the pledge we have made to definitely participate in the raising of funds for a building which we can proudly call the UNION COLLEGE LIBRARY. We are determined to succeed in this campaign. WE WANT A LIBRARY! * �* Parliamentary Sportsmanship CONTRARY to the opinion of some, we think the student body's attack on the financial policy of the yearbook staff the other day in assembly was a good thing. It is an indication of a healthy student interest in their own affairs, which there should be. Is was lamentable only in that it wasn't carried to the place where something definitely constructive was done. It was, however, probably not the first time a public forum ended without results. It revealed a need of parliamentary training among us, which meetings of that nature should help to develop. People need to learn how to discuss under fire important issues and do it coolly. Further- more, such meetings should spur a man to fill his cranium with constructive and accurate ideas that will help to bring order out of chaos in difficult situations. If a man has no solution to a problem, he'd better keep still; his speaking only generates more confusion. And we need also to learn how to be good sports if we lose. Did you ever stand on the sidelines at a game and follow in your enthusiasm the movements of the players. Empathy, psychologists call it. You wish to get right into the thick of it. Well, that feeling often comes to one when he sees able speakers defend or combat a cause. He wishes to get into the, argument too and make himself felt. That's a 4althy aspiration, providing the motives are altru- istic instead of selfish. � CT � WHY A COLLEGE EDUCATION? "To be at home in all lands and all ages; to count Nature a familiar acquaintance, and Art an intimate friend; to gain a standard for the apprecia- tion of other men's work and the criticism of your own; to carry the keys of the world's library in your pocket, and feel its resources behind you in what- ever task you undertake; to make a host of friends among the men of your own age who are to be leaders in all walks of life; to lose yourself in gener- ous enthusiasms and cooperation with others for common ends; to learn manners from students who are gentlemen, and form character under professors who are Christians,—this is the offer of the college for the best four years of your life- -William DeWitt Hyde.

The opinions appearing here may or may not be subscribed to by the editors, or even by the students in general. Articles submitted must be pertinent, gentlemanly, and signed by the writer.

Some of these students never have been in caps and gowns or had real graduating exercises. I think that it would be nice if they were allowed to go through the exercises without receiving a diploma and maybe wearing a different tassel on the caps. After one has gone to college and worked four hard, weary years to graduate and then comes to the last semester and finds that he lacks around one to four hours credit, it is quite discouraging to him. I'm for letting them have a small part at least in commencement. * � * TO THE CLOCK TOWER: What's the matter with our boys? Are they unusually conceited or are they suffering from an inferiority complex? Why don't they try dating a few of the North hall misses sometimes? There are really some nice ones over there but they remain hidden gold because no one takes the trouble to find out what really lovely people they are. I'm inclined to believe that the greater majority of the boys prefer their own company and that doesn't speak very well for some of them. Why not try being a little more friendly and considerate of the girls, boys? You'll find they aren't such a bad lot and neither are they inaccessible. Any girl will go fifty-fifty, but the nicest girls won't go a step farther; so you'd better do your part because you are missing a lot if you don't. Seniors On Parade By ELINOR STAPLES Innocently I asked a promising junior the other day, "What do you think is the most interesting thing about the senior class?" He gave me a blank look and responded, as if the matter were of no importance at all, "Why, there isn't anything special about them, is there? I don't even know who they are exactly." When I had ceased feeling sorry for him be- cause he was so hopelessly unobservant and being indignant with him for being so unappreciative of the superior talents and notable accomplishments of his "elders," I began to hunt around to see if the seniors really were not making any impression on the rank and file. I discovered that among them are some interesting personalities, which I set down here for the benefit of the aforementioned junior of af- fairs and others. President Kimber Johnson, that history major who likes Colorado and who tried to pass as Calvin Coolidge the other day, is the Knight who sits around the library looking pleasant with nothing much to do, but who nevertheless must be doing some con- structive thinking, if one may judge from the sig- nificant comments he offers in psychology class. Hubert Reed has varied interests. He is re- sponsible for a lot of those astonishing posters that appear around the place. The Golden Cords staff couldn't get along without Hubert. He stays by through thick and thin. He thinks Dixie is a won- deful place—he found his wife there. Fred Lee, who takes care of his wife and baby daughter and incidently goes to school and also keeps the Golden Cords staff working enthusiasti- cally, is Union's champion busy man. He isn't so busy that he misses classes though. He hunted all over the building for Mr. Gish at class time the other day and even then wasn't satisfied to go away with- out having class. Perhaps being business manager makes him want to get his money's worth. Henry Sonnenberg and Benjamin Morlong are not father and son—they're merely "the long and the short" of the senior class. (I don't know which one of them will resent this!) Henry, according to latest reports, is majoring in German. He thinks it's terrible that Union doesn't offer more German. ( I think there's too much of it already, but that doesn't prove anything.) Benjamin didn't grow nearly so long as his name implies, but there's noth- ing insignificant about his accomplishments. He is an economics major and knows all about the causes of the depression and everything like that. Mrs. Tom Little, who will always be just Helen to her classmates, could give some interesting data on how to be a successful wife for the head of the English department, but she doesn't. She does give illuminating sidelights on the head of the English department himself sometimes though. She says that he's perfectly harmless, that the freshmen ought not to be afraid of him, and that she believes he will someday set a new style in hats. Besides being a wife, Mrs. Little is Union's favorite pianist and an authority on Chaucer. � (Continued on page 4) � - � Literary Editor . � - � Filing Editor Make-up Editor Music Editor � - � Feature Editor - � Reporter • • HOSIERY I By Millay You will revel in the two-thread . . . extra sheer chiffons . . . reinforced silk heel and toe.

Turner Talks At Mission Band Noted Speaker Tells of Progress of Work in Island Felds; Colored Pictures of Country Shown Elder Turner directed his talk to those who are interested in giving their lives to foreign mission work. "We are for- tunate to have an objective as high as that which the foreign mission fields de- mand," he said. He also stated, "One thing to remember is that millions have an intense longing to know the light. They have an intense desire to step from darkness into light." "Foreign mission work is a praying work. There are more people who talk about prayer than there are who engage in it. To be successful in the field one must begin the habit of praying now as a part of the daily program. Our great- est difficulty is that we do not pray,- said the speaker. He included in his remarks some stor- ies of his native land, Australia. The natives there are very dignified and place their faith in God, he said; they are guided in counsel by God and are true, never swerving in their faith. Elder Turner has visited the Solomon and New Guinea Islands. He is ac- quainted with Kata Rangoso, Solomon Island chief, and his family. Colored pictures on Australian life were shown by Elder Turner to all the students Saturday night. The western part of Australia, he showed, has very little rainfall as all of the mountain ranges are on the south- eastern part of the continent. Wheat and wool are the chief exports of Australia, the speaker pointed out, al- though tropical fruits, rice, and pine- apples for their own consumption are raised .

The members are Virginia Wy- rick, Margaret O'Dea, Eunice Kelly, Vir- ginia Stevens, Ellen Eggert, Miss Linnie Keith, Margaret Rogers, Albert Bauer, Paul Whitlow, Lawrence Farnsworth Kenneth Perry, Hampton White, James Stevens, Theodore Torkelson, and Lucile Sherrig. The group will study the interpretation of various types of poetry and will prob- ably present some public performances during the semester. Choral speaking is not a new plan; it dates back to the Greek idea of using a chorus to heighten the effect or to supple- ment the unfolding of a story in drama. It has, however, been revived only in recent years. In order to exchange ideas of interpretation and choral speaking, some schools promote the idea of inter- changing students. Vassar college is foremost in this program. Speaking choruses work with the the- atres in France, with the Youth Move- ment in Germany, with the Steiner group in Switzerland, and in many British ac- tivities in England and Scotland. The unique possibilities of using choral speaking, an old form of artistic expres- sion, are being realized today. Among the American colleges that are promoting the idea are Mount Holyoke, Wellesley, San Jose State Teachers,' Russell Sage, Marygrove, University of Colorado, John Burroughs school, and Union. Gym Entertainment Event of Evening Marching in the gymnasium under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Larimore, a K. D. L. party in the North hall re- creation room, and various other gather- ings in private homes in the village were some of the ways students here were entertained the evening of February 20. Probably the largest group was in the gymnasium, where Mr. Larimore put plenty of variety into the evening's en- tertainment by the use of novelty marches and other interesting features. Mrs. Larimore played the piano for the mar- ches. As usual there were many small-group gatherings about the campus as well as at private residences in the village. Some few who were fortunate enough to have their parents here for the Union conven- tion spent the evening with them, and quite a number of students saw the pic- tures shown by Elder E. L. Cardey in the church. the exports and minerals, gold, iron, coal zinc, and tin. Melbourne, Sidney, and other beauti- ful cities were shown.

W. Hosford, from Ohio, directed to the students at a recent chapel period the challenge from the book of Esther, "Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Mr. Hosford, a man of experience in cam- paign management, is to have charge of all solicitations in the churches of the Central union for the new library. Mr. Hosford cited several instances where men had gone from their homes searching for riches which were right at hand but unseen because of the seekers' lack of vision. He urged Union college students to catch the right vision. "The greatest wealth of Union col- lege is in its student body,- said the speaker. "They can get what they want when they once go after it, I am sure. God is with you in this building pro- gram," the speaker affirmed.

I realized that it was a noble work, however, and that there should be more interest in it. Last spring a very earnest appeal was made for recruits in the canvassing field. The appeal for workers in the very needy field of Wyoming especially touched me, and I felt impressed to go to that field and canvass. The text that states that many are in the valley of decision came to me very forcibly as I came in contact with souls hungering and thirsting after righteous- ness. One morning, on coming to the first or second house, I knocked at the door and was cordially invited in. I had a very fine talk with the lady of the house, who was rich with worldly goods and who expressed herself in a very definite way that she wanted to be a Christian. Dr. Frank T.

I as- sured her that it was the Holy Spirit working upon her heart and that now was the time for her to make her de- cision. When I delivered a Bible Readings to her, I again assured her that a diligent study of the Bible and Bible Readings would bring comfort and truth to her. After leaving that home I silently peti- tioned God to impress this lady to decide for right and thanked Him that He could use unworthy me as an instrument to bring light and comfort to dark and weary souls. � Gordon Zytkoskee.

Continued from page I the classrooms and classes we've liked and disliked; the rock pile (what a grave- yard of secrets it stands monument to); the jobs, the roommates, the dates,—and a thousand and one other places and things we've done and been and had! We remember our favorite teachers and their ways and expressions that have made them dear to us—Dr. Dick's laugh, Dr. Hagstotz's jokes, Dr. Schilling's dreams and laws of chance and proba- bility, Miss Rees' pep and "Girls, this is tremendously important!" President An- dreasen's "That not done at Union," Elder Anderson's "You haven't had your Greek yet; isn't that a shame?" and Mrs. Moyer's popularity as a chaperon. That long book back over the past gives us confidence to say as we face the unknown future, "We're sure it'll all come out all right; it always has." � CT � SENIORS ON PARADE . . . Continued from page 2 Then there is Irene Johnson, who has red hair, and who is apparently afraid of nothing. � (At least she is majoring in mathematics and wants to be a precep- tress.) Felicia Wright, whose fingers dance so lightly over the piano keys, wants to teach music but will try about anything, she says. There is also Floyd Hills, who knows all about history (almost) and who likes to sing "Moon over Miami," and Glenn Elliman, the promising young minister, whose hobbies are leading Harvest Ingathering singing bands and putting up signs along the sidewalks. Everyone knows Imogene Schiffner, the dignified president of King's Daughters' league, who knows all things German; and Hubert Ary, that aspiring politician who was surprised the other day to learn that he is not a Radical but an Independent. Margaret Rogers is the girl who never lets her studies (except geometry) in- terfere with her college education; Cle- ora Turner is the demure librarian who doesn't say too much, but who always knows just what needs to be done next. Elinor Staples (that's me) is the rhetoric reader with red hair who can never keep all her red pencils sharpened and who wishes it were true that all absent-minded people make good English teachers. A. K. Phillips is the champion orator of the senior class and also of the Golden Cords staff. Roger Baker, who once Ver Haar, of - Swedish descent, has sung for audiences in the old country. Musical critics have commended her, es- pecially on her singing of folk songs and opera. Mr. Deacon has a knowledge of style and tradition which forms an appropriate background for his narrative songs and dramatic interpretations. distinguished himself in primary methods class by telling the story of the Israelites crossing the Red sea (with appropriate motions and facial expressions) to a class of college students, has become famous as a colporteur. And Chester Wickwire, who will probably never live down the title of "butler", makes un- believable grades in history, delivers ad- dresses in student forums, and comes to school every morning plus stocking cap, red mittens, and bicycle. Arthur Martinson is all business, ex- cept occasionally when he plays golf or tennis. Much of the picture content of the new Golden Cords will be the result of his efforts. And then there's Clarence Dye, about whom so much has been said and on a whole so well said that I will not occupy the time, except to say that he's a good sport and an almost indispensable man at the print shop. And now I have space left for thirty words or so about Dybdahl; Russell is his first name. His middle initial is E; but he really isn't "red;" he's just plain, friendly "Dybie." � CT K. D. L.

Maxwell, renowned English author of Bedtime Stories and present editor of the Signs of the 'Times, spoke to the students of the needs of the Seventh- day Adventist work in England and of his recent trip to Rome. In England there are only two con- ferences, and of the 45 to 50 million people in them only 5,500 are Advent- ists, he stated. Mr. Maxwell appealed to the Scotch and the Irish Unionites to plan some day to go to the land of their ancestors and help further the lagging work there. "There is a tremendous need in the old country," said Mr. Maxwell. "If we could get men and funds we could build up the large membership which we should have." Speaking of his trip to the Vatican City, he described the press exhibition which he saw there, displaying all the Catholic publications of the world. He was impressed with the immensity of the force of that great organization. CT � +Mr. and Mrs. A. P.
