H. Howard Urges Mental Reform Vespers Prevailing conditions demand that every individual "gird up the loins of the mind so that Jesus Christ may be revealed," declared Elder W. H. Howard, president of the Nebraska Conference, in the vesper hour Friday evening, April 9. Every person must realize that by nature the mind is corrupt and needs to be altered. This change can come only through the exer- cise of the will in thinking the pure thoughts of Christ, and when this is achieved, an individual will naturally do the works of Christ, Elder Howard epitomized. Church "Without growth t h e r e is death." Elder W. H. Howard in the church service, April 10 pro- claimed that "the gospel is growth;" therefore, church mem- bers must unite in the building of the church, in the development Ingathering Field Day to be April 27 Because it was felt that there would be so many other cam- paigns and drives for contribu- tions later on, April has been des- ignated field day for the 1943 col- lege Ingathering campaign. There will also be singing bands the first four nights of the week. The conference officials changed the regular annual "Harvest In- gathering" campaign to the spring instead of having it in the autumn as has been done formerly. Although transportation will create a problem on account of gas and tire rationing, plans will be made to counteract the situ- ation so that the goal may be reached as it has in the past. Paper s Pictorial Issue Cancelled Since there had been some mis- taken ideas to the effect that the Clock Tower staff was going to publish a special pictorial issue in the spring. President Cossen- tine in chapel Friday, April 9, made it clear that there would be no special issue. With rising cost of cuts, paper and the difficulty of securing pho- tographic equipment, the staff did not feel that they could undertake the tremendous job. future Friday, April 16 Chapel 8:07 p.m. Sunset 7:00 p.m. Seminar 7:45 p.m. Vespers Elder P.

Former Student Honored as Hero An Associated Press dispatch from an advance air base in southern Tunisia lists a former Union student, First Lieutenant Harold NI. Wilson, as a hero in an air fight in which Wilson shot down a Nlesserschmitt that was on the tail of a comrade's plane. Tablaux, songs, dialogue and a human organ were features on the Academy variety benefit program given in the chapel Saturday eve- ning, April 10. The proceeds, which amounted to $94.30, will be used to purchase venetian blinds for the academy class rooms Mr. A. D. Holmes, academy prin- cipal, announced. "The Doctor," with Elvin Ben- ton, Marlene Bauman, Merrill Wall and Roberta Winter, opened the tableaux, which also showed Whistler's "Portrait of My Moth- er," personified by Eva Lynn Ash- lock, and "The Angelus," portray- ed by Verlene Wall and Thomas Ashlock with Lois Marie Alexan- der as narrator. Norma Jean Krauss, Doreen Cadwallader, Blossom Church, Mary Kaye Woods and Shirley Morris dramatized "The Ghost of a Freshman," typifying life in an academy girls' dormitory. Billy Bob Widener, directed by Hollis Reinmuth, played the human or- gan which consisted of the acad- emy boys, who, when struck on the head with a mallet, emitted the proper pitch. Agnes Lou Nichols gave a musi- cal reading and played a violin solo and Anna Lee Lyon sang three songs; Merlene Ogden also played a violin solo and obligato. Additional musical numbers were furnished by a mixed quartet, Willard Beaman, Mary Kaye Woods, Frances Chamberlain and (Continued on page 4.) The Adventures of Being a Missionary "rite Adventures of Being A Missionary" was the general topic of Elder P. K. Simpson's chapel talk of April 9. The high esteem in which the people of India hold their great leader, Gandhi, was particularly stressed. Elder Simpson, who spent fourteen years in India, had the privilege of meeting this color- ful personality in 1928. Besides relating several thrilling experiences, Elder Simpson also called attention to the industrial importance of India. Ile followed his statement that the last war helped India to her feet with the prediction that this war will con- vert India into one of the leading nations of the world.

Margie Hight, class of '42, who is now employed in the Texas Conference, visited friends here over the week-end. Sophomores Conduct Meeting Sabbath "Careful with fire is good ad- vice we know, careful with words is ten times doubly so," was the theme of the Missionary Volunteer meeting on April 10 given by the sophomore class. With organ music as a back- ground, Delmer Holbrook read the scripture reading, a short poem on guarding our words, and offer- ed prayer. A girls' trio, Veta Mae Longfellow, Irma Faye Berbohm, and Evelyn Sherrig sang one of Professor H. A. Miller's own com- positions, "A Prayer." "An Old Log Cabin For Sale" was the reading given by Virginia Pate, in which kind words in the form of letters to the folks at home was stressed. Virginia Lohmann drew with chalk a log cabin while "Home Sweet Home" was played as a background. Charles Seitz introduced the theme—kindness in words and ac- tions—and read several poems on the influence of words. Following him a male quartet consisting of Delmer Holbrook, Lawrence Rahn, Vernon Koenig, and Charles Seitz sang "Remember Me, 0 Lord." "The First Settler's Story" by Will Carlton was given by Eileen Mayberry, in which a settler learned from the tragic death of his young wife that words aren't like kites. They can't he taken back when once uttered. Even Cod Himself can't kill them when once they're said. Review of Memorials Beginning with the class of 1894 it has been something of a Union custom for the departing seniors to leave some memorial to themselves on the campus of their Alma Mater in the form of a class gift. Every day the students pass reminders of these past groups, but since some of the graduates seemed overcome with modesty they (lid not mark their presents in the prominent way. The early graduating classes seemed to be quite horticulturally minded, for they gave a clump of lilacs, a maple tree, a locust tree, and twenty hydrangea plants. The "Golden Cords," hung for alumni in missionary service abroad, was the gift of the class of 1906. Many passing generations have quenched their thirst after dry classes at the present of the class of 1912— the fountain outside the chapel. It was the class of 1919 which made the flag pole their contri- bution. Perhaps no more appreci- ated gift has been made than that of the class of 1931, for their pre- sentation w a s the automatic schedule bells which announce the passing of periods of learning. The gifts made to the school have been numerous; only six of the 49 grad- uating classes having failed to leave a monument to themselves. No doubt the greatest gift made by a class was the clock in the tower. The class of 1922, in a strenuous and loudly publicized campaign, raised $1,500, the sum required for their gift. One of the classes had a humiliating experi- ence. As told in "Union College" it goes like this: "The class of 1925, in their effort to do something 'big' for their alma mater, had an experi- ence which caused no little merri- ment on the campus. They deter- George Sherbondy Although he is over 21, George Sherbondy is still a miner. His home is in Colorado; he has trav- elled all through the Northwest, especially in the mining districts, and last year stayed out of school and worked in the mines. George likes to travel and dur- ing his young life has attended twelve different schtiols. However, he likes Union so well that he has been here five years. He is major- ing in religion and following com- mencement he and his family will move to Denver, Colorado, where George has a colporteur intern- ship. Adel Kougl South Dakota is the home of the little blonde, blue-eyed home eco- nomics major named Adel Kougl. Of all the courses that Adel has taken she likes most her practice teaching; then comes the classes in clothing. Adel is planning, working and Left by Union Seniors mined to buy a grand piano, and thought to augment their scanty economic resources by putting on a program. They rented the larg- est auditorium in Lincoln and se- cured the services of a talented violinist from the University of Kansas for an evening concert. Unfortunately their ambitions were greater than their advertis- ing skill, and a mere handful, these almost wholly Union College people, attended the concert. The upshot of the matter was that the class had to assess themselves over a dollar apiece in order to pay the excess of expenses over the income. The class, sadder and poorer but wiser, finally installed some lights in the old library to enlighten coming generations of students." So the gifts of the classes—the rock pile, '98; the mission roster, '20; the movie outfit, '30 and all other presents have come to be an intregal part Of the campus. Perhaps this is why "Union never forgets her own." Elder Howard . . . ( Continued from page 1.) of God's plan for it. He has or- dained the church as His dwelling place and requires all members to assist in its building without the absence or misplacement of one, for that would check growth and cause death of the organization. If Christ could spend His life in fulfilling God's plan, why should the redeemed ones not be willing to find their places of service, Through Jesus human beings are no longer aliens, but are to be builded together, ceasing to make their own plans and answering the call to accept a place in God's temple and to "Grow in grace." hoping to be a teacher and she hopes to he able to practice her chosen profession in the Hawaiian Islands. Until that time comes she will just go on collecting poems and recipes and watching basket- ball games—her hobbies. Omar Heinrich North Dakota claims the tall, brown-eyed, soft spoken religion major named Oscar Heinrich. But when school is out Kansas is going to claim priorities on Oscar and "Judy," his brown-eyed wife. Oscar has a hobby which is a hit different from some others; he collects autographs, photographs, and clippings of outstanding per- sons. Among the worthies in this collection are Lowell Thomas, Al- bert \Viggam, Lew Sarett, etc. Life is very smooth for Oscar, though there are some things he doesn't like, chiefest of which is long sermons. These are balanced though by the times he makes a par when playing golf. April, with its bit of sun and its bit of shower, can achieve marvelous results, causing growing things to blossom out in new beauty. This magic power of April was attested to one day of the week just past when, as the showers fell on the dry ground, one could notice that by degrees the grass on the college campus was transformed from its drab winter dress into a carpet of marvelous green. This transformation took place in just a few hours. Has our own life missed the alchemy of April? Have we allowed its sun and showers to transform us? It may be we need a little hoeing and weed pulling. There may be some old practice to discontinue, something to discard that we have kept just as we do an old keepsake, but which has pre- vented our getting the best out of life. Let's not lose the magic of April. � Vivian Meyers hativtduality . . Individuality is a trait of character which is fast fading from the American scene. Our emphasis has been on mass production and uniformity in industry and, we fear, this trend has entered the field of education. To often the person with a personality different from the crowd is thought to be queer. If a person states a reactionary or an original thought his fellows are inclined to silently tip their heads in a meaningful gesture. We think that it is individuality of thought and action and unity of ideals which have made America great. While we would not advocate attempts to be different on the part of all, yet we think "live and let live" should he our motto. Remember, some of the greatest minds have been "dif- ferent." We crush genius when we crush individuality. E. D.

It was about an "old street where old friends meet" and there they are always welcome. Marge Hight told the girls in Sat- urday evening worship, that, al- though she is a graduate, she still feels at home and among friends in North Hall. There's something about North Hall that gets into your blood— and it gets in there to stay. Even if we do find our pajamas sewed up, our sheets filled with salt, or are disturbed from our slumbers by some early riser, North Hall is still a wonderful place to be. The halls that ring with the laughter of friends, the rooms where we've studied, where with the help of sympathetic friends, the problems of school life have been solved, have almost become a part of us. The stories those rooms could ,tell would inteed be interesting. Yes, the high, brick building north of the administration building is a home loved by all the girls of Union. Lower Division K. D. L. How one should dress on dif- ferent occasions was the subject of the meeting of Lower Division K. D. L. Evelyn Grimstad, acting as narrator, pointed out the wrong and the right ways of dressing for school, church, the street, and skating. Girls from the audience went up on the platform and il- lustrated the correct and the in- correct ways of dress. The meet- ing closed with a discussion on points over which the girls dis- agreed. In Saturday evening worship Irma Faye Berbohm sang, after which a girls' quartet sang in Spanish, "Pass Me Not, 0 Gentle Savior." They were Virginia Pate, Kathleen Chilson, Christine Gard- ner and A. Mildred Thompson. Upper Division K. D. L. Mrs. Ava Covington Wall spoke to the Upper Division King's Daughters' League the evening of April 6 on the subject of proper and appropriate dress for college girls. She emphasized the impor- tance of upper division girls rec- ognizing their responsibility in set- ting the right example at all times in dress and conduct. In whatever line of work a girl engages she must dress sensibly and comfortably and in such a way that she will not he the cen- ter of attraction, Mrs. Wall advo- cated. The denominational princi- ples of dress should always be the motives to guide any girl who dresses neatly and appropriately. A man's truest monument must he a man. �—Minot Savage Academy Notes What's all the mystery about? Why in the world do they want to keep it such a secret? I think that it's the silliest idea. Try as we would, we couldn't find out, couldn't lift the air of secrecy and mystery. Some of us employed detectives, secret agents, and even members of the same family to spy out on the suspected ones. A couple of times I thought we were getting pretty hot; but each time the secret agents got a few more clues they came to me saying they'd had to slow down because they were about to get their necks in knots. All at once, just as easy as you please, the blanket of mystery was lifted; and there in the light lay all the facts before me. Oh well, that's what I had thought anyhow. If you won't broadcast this all over the place, I will tell you just what it's all about. But remember that it's strictly confidential. Well, you see we had been trying and trying to find out who the senior officers were, what their colors were, and all about them. We did manage to find out that one day several of the boys went down town to buy blue ties. Well, now, just what would a group of boys want ties all alike for? Well! Then, as I said before, all at once just as easy as can be, everything was found out without so much as lift- ing an eyebrow. Yes, it was on senior day. When I went up to my second period class, Mr. Holmes introduced me to the new principal, Mr. Elvin Benton. Oh no, he's not the real principal now. You see on senior day the seniors take the places of the teachers and get their lookout from the front of the class. I went up to congratulate Mr. Benton, and noticed that all around him he had his faculty; and of all things, they were all wearing blue ties. Quite coinci- dental, wasn't it? I questioned Mr. Benton on his authority, and he in- formed me that I was a very obrusque idiomorimbaluniac! I was quite taken aback, because that means one must really be bad. It is a coining of all those words that mean one is not very bright. Well, to tell you what we had been trying to find out for so long. Mr. Elvin Benton is the president, Miss Frances Chamberlain the vice-president, Miss Roberta Win- ter the secretary-treasurer and Mr. Donald Boyer the sergeant-at- arms of the U. C. A. senior class of '43. Yes, their colors are blue and white as I had already guessed from the ties. Their motto is "Go forth to serve for God and coun- try." The members of the senior class are Elvin Benton, Frances Cham- berlain, Donald Boyer, Roberta Winter, Clovis Aaby, Merilyn Winter, Willard Beeman, Rose Massoz, Merrill Wall, Gerald Jen- sen, and Norman Prusia. Out of the fertile flatlands of this pioneer state rises an imposing structure of dignified beauty, the Nebraska State Capitol. It has a style of architecture so different from the accepted style of public buildings that it has attracted world-wide attention. The words of J. Morris Jones aptly describe this building: "Ris- ing with simple, yet proud dignity upon the harmony of vertical and horizontal lines and planes, upon mass and symmetry, and upon the interplay of light and shadow, rather than upon ornamentation for its grace and beauty.— The 500 foot tower of this mass of concrete and marble is topped by a gold glazed dome visible for many miles across the praries, and is surmounted by the bronze sta- tue of the "Sower," symbolizing agriculture. Underneath the corn- Growth of Industry Displayed in Chapel The changes brought about in our world by the growth of indus- try were depicted by two movies shown during the chapel period on April 7. The first portrayed the impor- tant role played by precision in- struments in the drama of indus- try. It traced the evolution of standards of measurement from the crude system in which an inch was represented by the length of the last joint in the thumb to the present system in which an unbe- lievable degree of accuracy is reached. The second movie pictured the world of tomorrow, pointing out the part that science and industry would play in its achievement. The audience left with a convic- tion that science has barely scratched the surface of its poten- tialities, and that noteworthy ad- vances are being made daily by modern methods of scientific re- search. Small showers last long, but sudden storms are short. —Shakespeare ice of the two-story square portion of the building, appear the carved names of the counties of the state. When you walk inside one of the four main entrances, the mo- saic floor is the first thing to catch your eye. As your guide begins to make the tour with you, he me- ticiously adds, whenever possible, that every square inch is paid for. Sculpture, murals, paintings and decorations recite the history of Nebraska from the days when bi- son ranged the plains. The story of the immigrants in covered wa- gons is told in detail by the vari- ous artists. The Nebraska unicameral leg- islature, which is in session at this time and which is the only uni- cameral legislature in the United States, invites you to visit it any time you choose.

UNION BANK Si94na 9ata Kappa Two outstanding films, one about the training of "paratroop- ers" and the other called "A Let- ter from Batan" were shown in club meeting Thursday, April 8. The latter-named film depicted an American soldier and his comrade in a Batan machine gun nest as the Nipponese made one of their raids. The raiders had almost complete control because the American sol- diers lacked supplies and suffered from such diseases as night blind- ness caused from not having an adequate amount of fresh vege- tables in their diet. All this in- formation was supposedly written in a letter to the wife of one of the soldier's and parents back home. By the picture a conscious- ness of the necessity for conserv- ing all vital materials was made apparent.

SECOND FLOOR CLOCK TOWER, APRIL 14, 1943 � 4 WE'RE IN THE ARMY The following letter was written by a former student of Union Col- lege, Cadet Kenneth Mayberry, who is in the Navy Air Corps and has just completed his training at Corpus Christi, Texas: "I am writing this seated at a small navigator's table at the last seat in a beautiful silver SNB transport plane. Although we are traveling almost two hundred miles per hour the panorama be- low seems to barely creep along. To my left is the beautiful Laguna Madre, where in the days of Drake and Hawkins two Spanish pirate ships were supposed to have been sunk.

"To my right is the Nenaces Dr. Blue Describes Egyptian Pyramids Thirteen acres or two-thirds the size of the college campus con- stitutes the base of one of the 20 Egyptian pyramids described by Elder I. F. Blue in his chapel talk April 12. As a missionary he trav- eled extensively in Europe and Asia, and proclaimed this pyra- mid built in 4700 B. C. as one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. The immensity of the pyramid was emphasized by the fact that each stone is about the size of a modern boxcar, weighing 16 to 30 tons. Although it is 485 feet high, it is almost perfect in dimensions. According to Herodotus, Elder Blue said, it took 100,000 men 30 years to build this pyramid. From The File On April 10 students from Pa- cific Union College heard a pro- gram entitled "Varieties of '43" which was given by 68 talented persons from the campus and com- munity. Patriotism was the theme of the program. Students and faculty at Wash- ington Missionary College raised $662 in the recent Red Cross drive. The campaign was led by former Union College president, A. H. Rulkoetter. There was an influx of 24 new freshmen at Walla Walla College as academy seniors took advantage of the accelerated program at that college. The faculty at Southern Junior College presented an "Interna- tional Night" February 20.
