XI COLLEGE VIEW STATION, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, NOVEMBER 20, 1936 No. 6 Secrecy Surrounds Club Organization Newest of organizations at Union is the "Triocrats." They are South hall men who live on third floor. Organization took place some time ago, but it seems that there has been some secrecy connect- ed with their "goings-on." Still no great deal can be learned about this group, but it has been whispered that they have some plans "up their sleeves" that will cause the countryside to take note. Their motto, having a two-fold meaning, is - We are third." One is that God is to be ifirst in their lives, others second, and themselves third; the other simply that they are third-floor men. The men behind the scenes in this or- ganization, it is said, are Glenn Fillman, Marvin Lawrence, Tom Willey, Walter Crawford, and Clark Smith. CT Additions Made to Clock Tower Staff Three additions were made to the CLOCK TOWER staff in an election during chapel Wednesday. They are as follows: Jane Douglas, filing editor and Lilah Hopps and Alvin Kiley, news reporters. Another new member on the staff is Einar Haugen, who was elected to be assistant circulation manager, a position left vacant by the resignation of Vesta Fillman. The office of filing editor was created by a new plan of the staff to begin a morgue of clippings, a permanent and systematic filing of news write-ups on various subjects as they are printed from time to time. This will make it possible for future editors to write intelligent and concise stories of events which might involve historical data. CT Missionary Volunteer Bands Interest Many Varied Activities Provide Christian Endeavor Work for Students Reports from the Missionary Volun- teer bands on the campus show a pre- vailing interest in many types of Chris- tian endeavor among the students here. The literature band meets each Sabbath afternoon for service. Each week this band of about twenty members mails close to 400 Signs of the Times to in- terested readers. Each week close to fifty students join in the work of the Sunshine bands. Groups give short programs each Sabbath at the Orthopedic hospital and the County poor farm. Another group visits the state orphanage once a month. In addition to hese, other programs are given at the homes of shut-ins in College View and Lincoln each week. The leaders of the Sunshine bands are well pleased with the response from the students to calls for participants in the work of these bands. Dan Cornforth, leader of these groups, says the Sunshine bands are accomplishing much worth- while work. On alternate Friday evenings the Mis- .ion band has a short meeting just before vesper service. It has been having a good attendance each week. Topics for talks and discussion center around mission work and preparation for that particular phase of work. Herbert Christensen and Sam Loomis are the leaders; Anabelle Mills, secretary; Ruth Stoehr, pianist; and Ted Herr, chorister. Upwards of fifty students are taking an active part in the Missionary Volunteer Progressive class work. Some are just beginning and others are more advanced. It is believed that quite a number will have completed all the requirements in 'he Master Comrade class when school closes in the spring. At present lecture By CATHERINE PARMENTER "Long years ago a pilgrim band Sought, far across the sea, A place where they might keep their trust In God and liberty. To thee the Pilgrim Fathers left A priceless heritage: A splendid vision that will lead Thy steps from age to age. "America, may lasting peace Thy hills and valleys bless. God grant to thee eternal faith, Enduring tenderness. America, beloved land, Where pilgrim feet have trod, Thy children consecrate their lives To country and to God!" —Boys' Life. Ivamae Small Hilts, head of the de- partment of speech, will read her own cutting of George Eliot's story Romola in the college chapel Saturday night, November 21, at 8:15. The story is built around the time of the Italian Renaissance and finds its im- mediate setting in Florence at the close of the fifteenth century. Mrs. Hilts has arranged the story in eight parts, each of which contributes to the development of the main characters, Romola and Tito Melema. She has tried to preserve the story and main characters as George Eliot created them. Romola is one of George Eliot's most ambitious and erudite books. It conforms accurately to the details of history. Many of the characters immortal in history walk across its pages. The main char- acters, Romola and Tito Melema, are of course fictitious, but they live and move in this great setting as if they were a Knights Conduct Program Members of the Knights of 72 had charge of the Sabbath school service held in the college chapel, November 14. Special musical features of their pro- gram were their nine-piece orchestra and male quartet, both composed entirely of Knights. The orchestra members are Herman Kicenske, Lloyd Osborne, Henry Sonnenberg, Tom Jenkins, Duane John- son, Edward Seitz, LaVerne Roth, John Thcodorovich, and Lyol Nettcburg. The quartet is composed of Glenn Fillman, John Teodorovich, Milton Meiklejohn, and Lloyd Osborne. Dan Green gave the Scripture reading, after which Henry Sonnenberg read a re- port of the previous Sabbath school. Among others who appeared on the pro- gram were Tom Jenkins, who gave the review, and Robert Brown, who pre- sented the mission story. ing and first aid. After vesper service each Friday night a short course in astronomy is conducted by Prof. 0. S. Specht. Last Friday evening nearly forty were present. To fulfil the track and trailing require- ments a group of forty students hiked to a wooded plot about two miles southeast -)f the college last Sunday morning and received first-hand experience in following trails. A tasty breakfast awaited the Many Unionites Hear Famed Violinist Play Approximately one hundred twenty-five persons from Union college heard Fritz Kreisler, violinist, in his farewell pro- gram, at the University coliseum, Nov. 9. Kreisler, accompanied by Carl Law- son, is making his farewell tour and was presented to the Lincoln audience by Florence Gardner. "I've heard Kreisler five times," stated Prof. C. C. Engel, head of the Union college music department, "but never was he any better. He outplayed him- self." Similar expressions of appreciation were voiced by many others who at- tended this final appearance of Kreisler. He played four encores, one at the close of the first 'group on the program and the other three after the final group. The last group consisted of five selections, all of which were composed by the violinis , himself. Clarence H. Dye chartered two busses from the Lincoln Traction company to transport the college people to and from the concert. part of it. The most powerful urge of the work is the influence of the great religi- ous reformer, Savonarola. Mrs. Hilts was graduated from Union college in 1928. She has been teaching here since that time. She attended the University of Nebraska, studying with Adrian Newens, of the University school of music, from 1928 to 1930. She re- ceived her master's degree from North- western university last year. Mrs. Hilts has given several numbers on the lyceum courses of academies in the Central union, as well as appearing on lecture courses at Southwestern Junior college, Keene, Texas; Southern Junior college, Collegedale, Tenn.; Oakwood Junior college, Huntsville, Alabama; Washington Missionary college, Wash- ington, D. C.; Walla Walla college, Col- lege Place, Washington; and Southern Publishing association, Nashville, Ten- nessee. Theological Teachers Attend Bible Meeting Professors J. N. Anderson and F. H. Yost attended the annual meeting of the Midwest Branch of the Society of Bibical Literature and Exegesis held in the Oriental museum of the Chicago univer- sity, October 30 and 31. According to Professor Anderson, ap- proximately seventy-five members, who are students in Biblical fields, gathered to hear the presentation of certain papers, to discuss Bibical questions that deal with interpretation and related subjects, and to elect officers. Dr. E. J. Goodspeed, University of Chicago, was elected president of the or- ganization. He also presented a paper on "A New Organization of New Test- ament Introduction." One of the papers presented at the convention was "A Chapter in the His- tory of the High-Priesthood" by Julian Morgenstern, of Hebrew Union college, Another paper was read by Dr. T. J. Meek, of the University of Toronto, about the book of Isaiah. Professor Anderson reports that every conceivable evidence is being gathered together at the Oriental museum to form two lexicons, one of the Aramaic langu- age and the other of the Assyrian pic- Student Publications Association Lays Initial Plans for 1937 Edition of Annual SHERRIG IS EDITOR Picture Content To Be Under Direction of Arthur Martinson, Kurt Kurz, and Merton Babcock Lucile Sherrig non, advertis- ing manager; Glenn Fillman, assistant advertising manager; Irene Pedersen, treasurer; A. K. Phillips, circulation man- ager; and Elizabeth Wester, secretary. Those elected on the editorial staff are: Lucile Sherrig, editor-in-chief; Elinor Sta- ples and Paul 'Whitlow, associate editors; Hubert Reed, art editor: Imogene Schiff- ner, feature editor; Merton Babcock, snap- shot editor; Arthur Martinson and Kurt Kurz, photographic editors; and Sylvia Nielsen, secretary. Yearbook publication here, discontin- ued for some time, was resumed last year under the management of Clarence H. Dye, now business manager of the CLOCK TOWER. The newly elected staff plans to make this year's Golden Cords supersede last year's, especially in picture content. One reason for the earlier organization of the staff this year is to provide for a more efficient planning of pictures. CT Group Functions Event of Evening Social Gatherings Furnish Varied Entertainment to Students on Open Night Thanksgiving Plans Made Classes Give Programs Wednes- day Evening; Four Groups to Entertain Saturday Night LEADERS ARE CHOSEN Social Committee Plans Three Social Functions; Thursday's Plans Unannounced as Yet For those who remain on the campus for the Thanksgiving vacation a varied program of entertainment is being planned by the social committee under the direc- tion of Dean Pearl Rees. There will be three times during the vacation periods for social functions, Wednesday, Thurs- day, and Saturday evenings. Class programs are being planned for Wednesday evening by the executive committees of the college classes. Defi- nite plans for the evening have been re- leased only by the juniors. Their part of the evening's entertainment will be a film shown in the college chapel. No plans have been announced for Thursday evening. A special committee of ten men and ten women was appointed to plan Satur- day evening's event. This committee of twenty members will be dividedinto four groups. Two groups will entertain the first half of the evening and the other two the last half. Programs will be in progress simultaneously in North and South halls. Members of the North hall committees are Ann Brooke, Thelma Evans, Dorothy Johnson, Mildred Priest, Anna Marie Krieger, Eunice Ekstrom, Wava Holm, Gladys Cross, Mildred Adamson, and Elizabeth Wester. South hall committee members are Floyd Hills, Roy Sorensen, Duane Johnson, A. K. Phillips, Kenneth Perry, Charles Meri- ckel, Robert Brown, Arthur McTaggart, Harry Fandrick, and Walter Crawford. A special Thanksgiving dinner is being planned for Thursday, says Miss Eunice Marsh, the dining room matron. CT Methodist Pastor Speaks at Y. P. M. V. The importance of the individual as the unit of power was the message brought by the Reverend H. 0. Martin, pastor of the First Methodist church here, when he spoke to the college young people's so- ciety Sabbath afternoon. "The strength of any organization in the world today depends upon the strength of the individual members," he -aid, using as illustrations for his point the football team, the nation, and the church. He pointed out the need for solid or- ganization of the church against the forces of evil. CAILESIDA/R November 20 5:05 p. m. Sunset 6:40 p. m. Student Ministerial Assn. 7:45 p. m. Vespers 9:00 p. m.

The Colorado group entertained the Minnesota club at a party in the dining room, where marching and games fur- nished diversion. The Dixie club, composed of students from the South, held a social gathering in the North hall recreation room, with Ruby Bounds as hostess. A taffy pull and party was the enter- tainment of the Student Publication asso- ciation, which took place in the H. C. Hartman home. Aside from the games. Theodore Torkelson, editor-in-chief of the CLOCK TOWER, gave a report of his recent trip to the collegiate press con- vention at Louisville, Kentucky. A number of smaller groups gathered at various points for recreational meetings. Claribelle Babcock entertained friends at the Harold Turner home. Opal Krieger and a group of friends made candy in the North hall spread room, and Chester Wickwire entertained at the William Whitson home. Eunice Nelson gave a small party at the H. R. Nelson home, and Della Wiltse entertained a group in the Reeder home. A group of girls gathered at the Gib Christensen home for a taffy pull, and Dr. E. N. Dick spon- tsored games in the gymnasium.

" "I gave my life for thee. - "I gave my husband and two sons in the World war." The widow gave her two mites. These are a few examples of the supreme sacrifice. Why supreme? Because in each case it was the thing most dear that was required to make the sacrifice complete. God is not satisfied with a mere conscience-appeasing offering when He knows we could give much more. He requires that we give all or at least show that we are willing to give all. As in the case of Abraham and his son, Isaac, God may test us to see if we are so fully surrendered to Him that we would give the thing most dear to us if necessary. God is testing us to prove whether or not we are His. Are you willing to go the limit? Have we thought through the whole plan of the Week of Sacrifice? Can we stand the test? No one can tell somebody else what he ought to give or what he ought to do. It is between God and the individual. God knows what we can do and He will not try us beyond what we can stand. The Week of Sacrifice has been put on the "in- dividual and God" basis this year. Shall we not cooperate with God in making it the biggest and best Union college ever had? * * A GAIN Union college is to publish the Golden Cords, the year book of the institution. The staff has been elected, and plans are in their embryonic stages. Lucile Sherrig, editor-in-chief of the annual, has up her sleeve a plan which she says will make this year's Golden Cords more than an ordinary school annual—it's going to be something different. What she has in mind we don't know. "An annual should be the embodiment of college aims and ideals and should be a manifestation of school spirit," says Miss Sherrig. Her new plans will be carried out in view of that purpose. Last year Union proved that she could publish a com- mendable yearbook; this year she will attain even higher standards with a bigger and better Golden Cords. * * R EPRESENTATION in public affairs, according to most people, is something to be clamored after with a pseudo-earnestness and a great noise about liberty but which, when translated into cooperation in terms of hard work, becomes extremely odious and undesirable to them. It isn't hard to see, because of this fact, why George Washington expressed in his private life doubts as to the success of a republic on a large scale when he viewed the base selfishness of 'man. Men are willing to dictate but not so willing to do, especially if the doing involves any personal effort. The same principle of contradiction is seen in campus affairs. Who does the work of a committee usually? Ask the man who is chairman of one; or, more enlightening still, be the man who is chairman of one. Paul Whitlow, president of last year's sophomore class, was not far wrong when he said, "I was elected to be their slave." Students crave participation in government; but when they get it they sit motionless and unexpressive on committees with perhaps only a remark of assent. As individuals we need to see the relationship between holding an honorary title to an office and doing the work of that office. * * S PEAKING of things to be thankful for, we would like to include in our long list the music played for us during the noon-hour on Sabbath in the dining room. It adds that certain something to the dining room association that helps us to maintain the feeling of Sabbath sacredness. Its importance to completeness was forced to our attention last week when, due to illness of one of the members of the musical ensemble, the players did not function. We understand this group receives nothing for their services save the thanks of men. And here's just bluntly to let them know they are appreciated. MV IDEAL 130,' By VESTA FILLMAN When I was thinking of preparing this topic, I could not get over the incongruity of my being asked to tell you what I would do if I were a boy. While thinking of the situation I ap- proached a fellow-student in my place of labor and asked in all sobriety, "What would you do if you were an elephant?" He noticed my earnestness and said frankly, "I don't know." That is just the way I felt! At first thought if I were a boy I would be six feet tall, have black curly hair, and blue eyes, and broad shoulders, and a pretty smile, and— But, I thought, sup- pose I was as unfortunate a boy as I am a girl? Then I thought of the things I would have to possess to out-weigh my misfortune in countenance. I turned again to a fellow-student for help. I wrote a note to the girl who sits beside me in a class. It was very brief indeed. It contained only eight words: "What do you admire most in a boy?" The answer came back: "He must be very neat, friendly, courteous, sporty, with high ideals." And after all, that takes in a great deal. Then if I were a boy I should strive to be very neat. I should have my clothes neatly pressed, my shoes shined. my teeth brushed, and my hair all lying down on my head. • I should not like to have said of me what was said to a small boy I know. This small boy was riding on a train, through the state of Oklahoma. The con- ductor came through the coach calling the next station. He neared the seat where the little boy sat. He called, "Bushy- head, B-u-s-h-y-h-e-a-d, and (pointing to the boy) that's you." So I should strive to be very neat. "He must be friendly and courteous." Everyone prefers a friendly person to a snobbish, hateful one. If I were a boy, I should cultivate a friendly smile and water it well with courtesies. If I were a boy I would know, after having been a girl, that little acts of kindness and mani- festations of thoughtfulness count ninety per cent. I would not forget to tell my associates that I enjoyed their contribu- tion to my happiness. I would be careful of flattery though, because most people can tell when they are getting a "line." Last year the president of Sigma Iota Kappa went to North hall about the four- teenth of February and told the girls at the evening worship hour how much the boys appreciated association with the girls; and then, if I remember the exact words he used, he said. "We bring sweets (Continued on page 3) lower cases margaret rollins feel perfectly confident of your recov- ery when you're sick, you north hallites, because miss rollins is quite experienced. after graduating from the nurses' train- ing course at boulder sanitarium she worked there for two and a half years. margaret is taking some school work in order to get a b. a. degree, with nursing education as a major. electrotherapy and x-ray are fields of nursing that particular- ly interest her.

To the CLOCK TOWER: This letter does not carry any personal griev- ances, but it does carry a definite conviction about a matter that needs more attention, it seems to me. If you print it, please omit my name. You perhaps have noticed, as many students have, that things are managed around here by a certain few—a clique, you might say—and many there are who never get a chance to function publicly. I believe I speak the mind of many when I say this state of things ought to be changed. Everyone who enrolls here is pay- ing his money for a training, and part of that training to which he is entitled is an opportunity to develop in public affairs. This matter should be definitely pressed upon the minds of the nominating committee. I had hoped to get this to you before the Golden Cords staff was elected. Perhaps there are some who could do things better than others, but also there are some who could do things if they were only given a chance. * * To the CLOCK TOWER: I am not sure who nor what the editor had in mind in his little note last time when he lined edi- torial freedom up against business despotism, but a dig like that ought to be answered by a representative of the digged. I agree to some extent that money does rule in most things, as it does also in the news- paper world. But I am not so sure but that such rul- ership is quite all right, and even needful, at least to a certain degree. For one thing, a newspaper could not even exist without financial support and management. Its very efficacy would be nil without a chance to circulate. Advertisers naturally patronize a news medium that pleases them. Therefore, the business desk has a right and a duty to dictate to the editorial desk what shall be put in the columns of the paper. * To the CLOCK TOWER: I am only an insignificant lower classman, but I would like to speak a word to the upper classmen through your columns. I noted from Mr. Schilling's report the other day that the possibility of extending the privilege of non-attendance at classes would be granted to us only upon your demonstration that it is worth while. Now, for our sakes, please do your stuff. Show by your actions in this matter, as in other matters, that the student body is capable of handling some personal responsibilty in administering their own affairs. * To the CLOCK TOWER: Would you please run an obituary in your paper? The thing that's dead ( or, at least, seems to be) is that Debate club that organized sometime ago. We haven't heard a word from it since the day it flaunted such a gay, modernistic sign about its organization. We're afraid it spent its first and only breath in the great effort of beginning life. If it is dead, there ought to be a decent burial and a notice about it in your columns. Letters to the Editor Dear Friend: We have a fine little school here in a mountain valley far above the city of San Jose. If the weather is right we can see the bay on the Pacific side. By climbing a volcano to the east of us one can enjoy the rare spectacle of seeing both oceans from the same spot, an experience which Balboa never had, and a great lake to the north thrown in for good measure. The school is new but is building up and has rare possibilities for the work in this section. We have young people here from every Central Ameri- can country. Most of them are fine young people who only needed God's message to bring out what was in them. Some are converts from Catholicism. Others are interested. One in particular risked be- ing disinherited by rich parents opposed to the Seventh-day Adventists, but was true to her God once she came to know Him. All show that the gospel is a real thing to them and many spend their vacations giving it to others by preaching and by selling literature. I believe that these young people with God's help are going to evangelize their part of the world quickly and that if we can but push forward every- where while the way is open, we can depend on soon seeing the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven. May many be inspired by the Holy Spirit to dedicate their lives to this end. Very sincerely yours. Herman W. Miller, '31. * * NION'S SUALS & NUSUALS BY IMA USUAL No one was glad to see last week come. Everyone was very happy to see it leave. Taking exams wouldn't be so bad if only the grades weren't added.

Along the path that leads to Dreams Come True I'll lose my cares, and happiness pursue. I'll say - goodbye - to all perplexity And make room in my soul for ecstacy. Like floating bubbles from a pipe of clay My troubles will forsake me, fade away. No softer touch had Mother's goodnight kiss Than moonlight brings to our metropolis. I'll quite forget the noise of these bazaars. The smoke of city life will turn to stars. A magic spell will settle over all. I'll be in fairyland when shadows fall. Today I am a man of no renown But when the sun goes down I'll wear a crown. And joys of earth will never seem so slight As when I keep my rendezvous with Night.

Then he and an- other member presented boxes of choco- lates to the girls. Needless to say, the girls were speechless! They did manage to applaud, however. So if I were a boy I should try to do little thoughtful things for others. Little courtesies do count! "He must be sporty." If I were a boy I should be a good swimmer. I should learn to row a boat, and put a hole in the "bull's eye" with a rifle. I should learn to play a good game of ten- nis, croquet, etc. I should enjoy long hiking jaunts in the woods. Nor would I slight a most important phase of good sportsmanhip: I would be a good mixer. And in choosing my friends I should draw from those who enjoyed the same things I did. A good sport will be just as jolly when he looses as when he wins. I have seen boys who would lose their sportsmanship when beaten (especially by a girl). A good sport is a good loser as well as a good winner. "He must have high ideals." Oh, what a multitude of things that statement in- cludes. He must have high ideals. He must have high ideals in his association. He must have high ideals spiritually, mor- ally and intellectually. If I were a boy I should never speak lightly of God or of anything that pertains to God or to His worship. A boy who does is headed the wrong way. I should enjoy being out in the open fields with nature, there to toss the cares and frets of life into the blue, blue sky. and to think on higher things. I should like to say with the poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning: "The little cares that fretted me, I lost them yesterday Among the fields, above the seas, Among the winds at play; The Union college male quartet, Mr. C.

Mr. Swanson, a member of the State Board of Paroles, gave several case histories he has encountered lately. He pointed out that 98% of the inmates of penal institutions are there because of broken homes, poverty, or lack of edu- cation. "The average criminal," said Mr. Swanson, "has a sub-normal intelli- gence quotient, and cannot say 'no' to hardened criminals—the only 'friends he has when he leaves the penitentiary." The rehabilitation of the unfortunate, be said, is a pressing problem, inasmuch as most of these could be reclaimed by society as useful members if given the proper environmental conditions. Mr. Swanson declared that discipline was the key to success in modern life. "Our most efficient institutions, including the Army, Navy, and large corporations, carry discipline to the extreme, and this is the reason for their greatness, he said. Among the lowing of the herds, The rustling of the trees, Among the singing of the birds, The humming of the bees. "The foolish fears of what might happen-- I cast them all away Among the clover-scented grass, mong the new-mown hay; Among the rustling of the corn, Where drowsy poppies nod, Where ill thoughts die and good are born. Out in the fields with God." And so, if I were a boy, I should en deavor to be neat, friendly, courteous, sporty, and always to entertain only high ideals.

The World About Us By JAMES DECKER --- King Edward VIII made his first par- liamentary appearance with the usual ceremony, professing the Protestant faith. His statement of policy was this: "My relations with foreign powers con- 'di - 1 , 1e to be friendly. The policy of the government continues to be based on membership in the League of Nations." Plans are in the making for an official census of the unemployed in this country, to be conducted by the government cen- sus bureau. Numerous "sit down" strikes have hin- dered the shipping industry on both sides of the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts dur- ing the past few weeks. More than 150 vessels have been tied up in port. Before he was 21 years old, George Washington owned 1,558 acres of land, which he purchased, a little at a time, with money he earned himself.
