Those in charge have been hard at work planning what looks to be a successful campaign from the start. According to Pete Roehl, campaign director, the goal this year is 4000 subscriptions. Changes have been made and new ideals will be introduced as the campaign Scharffenberg Organizes Temperance Chapter "I would like to see the Union College chapter of the American Temperance Society prove to be the best in the United States." This was the opinion expressed by Elder W. A. Scharffenberg, former Union- ite, and leader of the denomina- tion's fight against the liquor traffic. Mr. Scharffenberg, who was a recent campus speaker, said that the young people must lead out in this work and the way to do it is to participate actively in the program being sponsored by the national or- ganization. He added that he is soliciting the aid of all Adventist college students throughout the United States and that Union is the fifth school to organize a chapter. Elder Scharffenberg graduated in the class of 1915. He is married and has 'three sons, all of whom were born in China. The newly elected officers of our Union College chapter are: Bob Hamilton, president; John Parobek, vice-president; Elaine Clevenger, secretary; Mrs. Joe Hunt, assistant secretary; Gilbert Jorgensen, treas- urer; Charles Phillips, assistant treasurer. PAUL PERSHINC College Board Meets President Woods, local members, and representatives of other unions were present October 20 for the Executive Board Meeting which was held at Union College. develops. This year it will be the boys against the girls; so get ready for action and fun as the opposing sides present exciting chapel pro- grams. The boys' leader is Bill Putnam with Bill Ledington and Elmer Jor- dan as assistants. For the girls the leader is Betty Jane Meier with Ruth Benton and Phyllis Smith as assistants. Nursing School Faculty Meets October 13 Miss Ruth Bunston, Director of the Union College School of Nurs- ing, and President Woods attended the regular monthly meeting of the faculty in the Clinical Division of the School of Nursing on October 13. They also attended a meeting of the executive committee of the faculty. It is customary for these meet- ings to be held on alternate months at Porter Sanitarium and at Boul- der in order to divide the traveling among the personnel who attend. President Woods and Miss Han- sen, Associate Director in the Clini- cal Division, met in committee to study the budget for the School of Nursing. Arrangements were made for the present senior class in nurs- ing to return to the Union College campus to complete requirements for the B.S. Degree. WILBERT DALE New Equipment Modernizes Culinary Department Among the newest additions in dining room and cafeteria equip- ment are 110 tables, 500 chairs,.. a bread mixer, a potato peeler, and an ice cream cabinet. In addition, improvements such as a dishwasher, a gas range with a grill top, a 40- gallon steam jacket kettle, and a pressure cooker have been added to the equipment. The new tables and chairs were purchased with the money raised ov students last year. The new chairs are already in use and the new tables, each of which will ac- commodate four, are due to arrive shortly. Probably the most appreciated of all the improvements is the new 80 qt. bread mixer and the new po- tato peeler. The cafeteria uses 600 loaves of bread a week and 400 pounds of potatoes a day. Miss Whitfield is very grateful for all these improvements as it will en- able her and her staff to better- serve, as she words it, "one of the finest groups of students I have ever seen." As a result of the steadily increas- ing enrollment in recent years, the need for this new equipment be- came more imperative. Plans for a new cafeteria are now in the hands of the architect being blue-printed, and it is hoped that building will get under way early next spring. HARTLEY BERLIN Elder G. E. Vandemon PREVIEW OF LYCEUMS The 1947-48 Lyceum program se- ries for the year was launched by the "Guardsmen Quartette" of Hol- lywood in the college auditorium Saturday evening, October 4. Pro- grams yet to come are as follows: October 25, the "Alma Trio," con- sisting of Gabor Rejto playing the violoncello, Roman Totenberg the violin, and Adolph Baller at the piano. Many press tributes have been given to this trio. December 20, Max Gene Nohl will present a lecture entitled "Sea Vultures." Mr. Nohl, a former deep- sea diver, illustrates with color mo- tion pictures which were taken un- der water. January 10, "Emil Liers and His Otters." Emil Liers will present his group of trained otters, and will lecture with motion pictures. February 28, the Chicago Little Philharmonic Orchestra in concert. April 24, a travelogue will be pre- sented by Carl Robinson entitled "China Journey." This lecture will be given with the aid of motion pictures which he took while trav- eling in China. EINAR BERLIN BEAVEN DISCUSSES WORLD FOOD CRISIS "If each individual will exercise self-control in the matter of food conservation, we will be able to avert the greatest period of famine in the world's history," declared Winton H. Beaven, speech depart- ment head, in upper-division chapel October 16. Three problems must be solved to forestall the coming crisis: first, what are the food de- mands of the United States? second, to what extent can we meet these demands? and third, how can we get these demands without making inflation worse than it is? Mr. Beaven pointed out the need for sound thinking and constructive action in view of the national crisis. Meadows in Card Catalog "Have you seen Hugh Mead- ows?" queried Ruth Benton of Mary Ann Tacger, a new library desk clerk. She was quite preoccupied, and somewhat fatigued from the endless round of questions hurtled at her from morn 'til night. "Did you look in the card cata- log?" she sighed. (Upon close in- vestigation, it was found that Hugh was not in the card catalog. He was calmly collecting material for his CLOCK TOWER column—In This Corner.) Vespers October 17 was the first of the Autumn Week of Prayer gatherings at Union College. Elder G. E. Vandeman, an associate sec- retary of the General Conference Ministerial Association, is visiting four colleges on a special assign- ment designed to strengthen the practical training of theology stu- dents, together with offering special help in Week of Prayer at two of the schools. Elder Vandeman introduced the series of personal talks to be con- tinued throughout the week with a short discussion of a formula for making Jesus a real and personal Saviour—"Not try, but trust." The basis for Elder Vandeman's teaching and his evangelism and pastoral workshops, as given by him, is found in the book - Evangel- ism, page 188: "There are many who want to know what they must do to be saved. They want a plain and clear explanation of the steps required in conversion, and there should not a sermon be given un- less a portion of the discourse is to especially make plain the way that sinners may come to Christ and be saved." In filling the need outlined, the speaker emphasized a simple heart- felt analysis of one's Christian ex- perience solely to discover the se- crets of consistent and victorious Christian living. True release from crippling inhibitions and fears will bring real joy. These heart-to-heart chats bear a definite message of the righteous- ness offered by faith in Jesus, our Saviour. They deal with such vital matters as overcoming fear, resent- ment, criticism, how to surrender, and how to make Christ real. An- other important phase discussed is how to retain the victory in living a true Christian life. (Continued on page four) Dr. Shryock Interviews Medical 'Students Dr. Harold Shryock, who repre- sents the admissions committee of the College of Medical Evangelists of Loma Linda, is visiting Union College for a few days to in- terview all of the pre-medical students, es p e- cially the fresh- men, sopho- mores, and jun- iors, and pro- vide an opportunity to discuss their questions with him. He plans to re- turn again in the spring to inter- view those who have applied for Loma Linda. In the meeting of Mu Epsilon Delta, Dr. Shryock told of the building program to enlarge both sections of the college. Loma Linda will have a new dispensary and li- brary..The General Conference has approved an addition to the sani- tarium. A new site has been pur- chased between Los Angeles and Alhambra for the new buildings for the White Memorial Hospital. This will not increase the capacity to train students but will make them less dependent upon public institu- tions and will furnish better facili- ties for post-graduate training. JANET CAMPBELL CLOCK TOWER CAMPAIGN BEGINS OCTOBER 19; 4000 SUBS IS GOAL Gen. Charles De Gaulle, French wartime resistance hero, emerged victorious in the recent municipal elections. Leader of an anti-com- munist bloc, De Gaulle's party cor- nered about 40 per cent of the total vote. The communists polled ap- 3 proximately 30 per cent. A threat- ened general strike by the commu- nist-led labor unions was stalled off in view of the sweeping victory. The United States has formally rejected Russian proposals that American and Soviet troops simul- taneously withdraw from Korea. The state department has informed Russian Foreign Minister Molotov that this 'question "must be con- sidered an integral part of the solu- a submitted by the United States to the United Nations assembly." America has favored for some time a free election in Korea to enable the people of that country to decide the form of a future Korean gov- ernment. Saturday the American Federa- tion of Musicians' President, James C. Petrillo, announced that the 225,- 000 members of his union would make no recordings or transcrip- tions after December 31. Compa- nies which make recordings are ac- cusing Petrillo of an attempt to wipe out a great industry. The Na- tion's top musicians, however, are aligning themselves behind Petrillo, charging that phonograph records are cutting them out of jobs. James F. Byrnes, former Secre . - tary of State, has unleashed a verit- able tempest with the publication of his book, Speaking Frankly. In this work he takes the American public behind the scenes in the state department. His revelation of the ineptitude of American diplo- macy makes fascinating reading but is hardly conducive to soothing the already jangled nerves of the aver- age citizen. His main contention: no nation respects America's for- eign policy because of the inability of the present administration to pursue a consistent line of policy. If you are in no other musical organization at Union and like to sing, will you join the Oratorio Chorus? Get the fun and satisfac- tion of singing with our choral group. ---DEAR EDITOR DEAR EDITOR: After going through all the tur- moil of "freshman week" ( and what student or faculty member here doesn't know about that!) and fi- nally getting registered on time, don't I at least deserve to get my name on the C.T. Roster? I realize that mistakes sometimes take place, so I'm not blaming anyone, really. It's just that it gave me a queer feeling when I wasn't listed as a student of Union College. I thank you, , GERTRUDE WOTEN (Editor's note: Our sincere apol- ogies. We know we've omitted a few names despite checking and double-checking. For instance, Bob Hamilton reminded us that he has never been listed in a UC roster. MORE ENROLLMENT Conover, Helen Dalton, Nebr. Fredericksen, Milton Lincoln, Nebr. Hamilton, Robert Lincoln, Nebr.

DEAR EDITOR: I am under the impression that the majority of the students at Un- ion don't usually know what the program for Saturday night is until the worship period just before the program starts. Even when it is an- nounced it is seldom . announced more than two days before it ac- tually takes place. I am, of course, not referring to the Lyceum pro- grams which are already planned. I think the programs should be an- nounced a month ahead. At the least, it should be announced two weeks before it takes place. I hope something is done about this. BYRON BLECKA (Editor's Note: We agree. Let's hope we can keep you informed three or four weeks ahead in An- ticipation.) CORRECTION In the October 9 CLocK TOWER a newly formed committee in the Veterans' Club was listed as the Foreign Affairs committee. It should have been Veterans' Affairs committee. The Nebraska Conference has ar- ranged for a Greyhound bus to take one of the choral organizations to Fremont each Sunday evening. On October 19 Mr. Abel and the 42- voice men's chorus sang. On Octo- ber 26 choir number one will sing. outer Member ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATE PRESS CLOCK TOWER STAFF Editor-in-chief_ . _______Betty Lou Williams Associate Editor__ Einar Berlin Managing Editor ______ _____ Kenneth Holland Feature Editors_______George Thomson,Ed Burnett, Elaine Clevenger Social Editors Ed Ortner, Joyce Warner, Russell Shawver Sports Editors__________________________ Earl Wilson, Beverly Perriman Art Editor._____________ Mark Dickinson Music Editor_ _ ___ Irene Timothy Photographer _ Bob Townsend , bl .,_.

But how much more thrilling it is to actually take one as I did this summer. For several years I had been making trips to Mexico during my vacations and had visited each of the Central American republics. All the knowl- edge about traveling outside the United States that I had gained in these former excursions certainly came in handy when planning this one. And if anyone thinks it is easy to make arrangements to get across to Europe, just let him start to cut red tape and he will find it is an- other story. Back in November of 1946 I started negotiations for passage, and it kept me busy till I finally left Lincoln the night of May 24. What fun some of the folk here had bouncing on my last suitcase so it could be shut and locked for the journey! One suitcase was full of nothing else but soap and concen- trated foods, for I had no notion what I would or would not find over there to keep me fit on my travels. Later I was thankful for every ounce I took because what I didn t use myself I gave to others much more needy than I. At last I was off for Halifax, Nova Scotia where I boarded the Aqui- tania bound for England. Not being a plutocrat who could afford to travel first class both ways, I had chosen to go over dormitory style and return first class. It was inter- esting to travel in that as yet unre- converted troop ship, twenty-five to a cabin. My lot fell among pleasant companions, all either English or Scotch, and we had a delightful crossing. Of course it wouldn't have seemed quite natural on my first ocean voyage not to have been sea- sick at all, and I was slightly so one day when a storm hit the ship. However, I should have been just as happy to forego that. Seasoned travelers will know what I mean; the rest have been mercifully spared an experience I shall pass over lightly. We landed at Southampton, passed customs and took the boat train for London where I stayed just long enough to get my bearings before proceeding via New Haven- Dieppe, to Paris. I had written ahead for hotel reservations and felt like drawing a long sigh of re- lief when I arrived. But how lone- some I was! Not a soul did I know in all of France, and I spent some wretchedly homesick moments be- fore I became acquainted with Mme. Odette Autin and her hus- band Andre. Then what joy to feel I had friends nearby! They are Bi- ble workers. (TO BE CONTINUED) THE VESPER HOUR Sabbath is almost over. Rose- tinted rays stream through the stained glass and reveal myriads of dust particles lazily drifting over the old oak pews. It is the Vesper Hour at the white church on the corner. That gaunt, aged woman, sitting close to the front,loves this hour of the Sabbath best. Oman melodies, mighty strains, and tones almost trembling with emotion, penetrate the heavy still- ness. Now. subdued chords form a heavenly background for beautiful poetry, or nerhaps a story of faith and love. The quiet, deep voice so befits Elder Buckivalter. He lends insniration. Oftentimes, rich voices of men in song add a grandeur to the scene. The life-giving fountain is overflow- ing to all who are present. ELAINE CLEVENGER (Editor's Note: Village folk and students appreciate the community vespers being held each Sabbath at sunset in the College View Church.) DOREEN CADWALLADER "Should we name our buildings or are you satisfied with referring to them as Science Hall, Music Hall, North Hall, South Hall, and so on . Wendell Wall, junior pre-med living in Lincoln, replied: "The idea of naming our buildings appealed to me immediately. Many students leave this campus without learning who the men and women are who have done the most to make our school what we know it to be today. Giving names to our buildings would give us an opportu- nity to honor these servants and would add to Union's tradition in which we all take pride." Jimmie Carpenter, fresh- man from Austin, Texas, tak- ing secretarial training, ex- pressed herself thus: "In my opinion the build- ings on our campus should have new descriptive names. It would add zest to living and make a little of the rou- tine, which inevitably goes with college life, more inter- esting. We do have a beautiful campus and what an improve- ment to our school names with a real meaning would be." Lewis Gray hails from Houston, Texas. He is a freshman history major who helped make history while serving with the Navy for three years in the South Pacific. "I am not satisfied," Lewie says, "with the present system of naming our buildings, as I feel we should be distinctive. In naming our buildings why couldn't we carry out the theme of the Golden Cords—for which Union College is famous—in having each building bear the name of some former student who has gone out from Union College to devote his or her life to the service of Christ in the mission field?" Shirley Davis from Kansas City, Missouri, is a freshman working toward a B.S. in Education, and in answer to the current question has this to say: -, "It would be fitting, I believe, for our buildings to bear names which were meaningful to the students and which, being spoken and heard on other campuses would label them immediately as Union College." Ella Mae Tkachenko, fresh- man taking the liberal arts course is from Killdeer, North Dakota. She says: "The idea of naming our buildings may be all right in itself but it has been a tradi- tion at Union College to iden- tify the girls' dormitory as "North Hall" and the boys' dormitory as "South Hall." Personally .I would just as soon they would remain that way." Evelyn Tkachenko — yes, I na she's Ella Mae's sister—is a second year pre-nursing student. Her opinion on the question of the week: "I am not unhappy with the buildings designated as they are at the present time, but I do think it would really be interesting to have our buildings named in different ways. One thing though, I would be ex- tremely curious to know what the names would be." John Bogdanovich, junior ministerial student who re- sides in Lincoln and works in the gymnasium: "I sincerely believe that naming the buildings would 1 be an advancement at Union College. I would suggest nam- ing the buildings for some of I our pioneers in the Advent Movement. Of course the names need not be people's names, but whatever they might be, they would add to It-- the dignity of our college." Merlene Ogden, sophomore English major and worker in the Educa- tion department, said: "I definitely believe our buildings should be named. With names to add significance our buildings could become monuments in Union's history like the Clock Tower and the Golden Cords. With so many new structures all over our campus, why spoil their beauty by calling them commonplace names?" THE DOWNBEAT The music organization commit- By IRENE TIMOTHY social.

In Elder Vandeman we have found a man of God whose tangible illustrations, born of a vibrant Christian experience, have impressed us with the beauty and simplicity of the Christian life. His life itself has been an inspiring challenge to greater service and consecration. Soon the daily periods of devotion with Elder Vandeman will be replaced by the regular routine of classes, work, and study. May the week be more than a pleasant memory. If our daily aim is the one stressed by Elder Vandeman, "Not try, but trust," the sweet spirit of contentment gained from walking with our Saviour may remain with us. B.L.W. WE CAN SUCCEED This year the enrollment at Union has broken all previous records. With that in mind, our CLocic TOWER campaign this year should set a new record for subscriptions. But the fact that the enrollment is so large does not mean that all previous subscription records will be broken. No, we'll need to put determined effort into this year's campaign if we expect it to succeed. Without our support our paper and our campaign cannot succeed. Consider what our impressions of Union College would have been if, before we first came, someone had said, "they don't even have a school paper at Union." Our CLOCK TOWER is an effective means for broadening Union's sphere of influence. It's not hard to write a few letters to friends who are interested, or should be interested, in our college. We are going to have a CLOCK TowER campaign, but whether or not that campaign is a success depends entirely upon us. If we will boost our paper and our campaign leaders, we can and will break all subscription records this year. 4 ii HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT ENLARGED; HAS NEW EQUIPMENT Zena Hoehn, Evelyn West, Gretchen Bock, Donna Scott, and Bonnie Barker inspect the new Laundromat.

The natty 'little mustache which Keith had been sporting was missing. Guess who had to be told that it was gone. Right, Mrs. Bart- ling! Can you imagine that? Canvassing . during the summer certainly gave Sylvia Ford a mar- velous tan. That Kansas sun has something to rival that one down in Central America. Sylvia was a mis- sionary child in Central America for many years and I doubt that she will place that section of the world second to any. . . . Are there any two people in school who are mistaken for each other more than Eileen and Eleanor Engeberg, sis- ters from Kenmore, North Dakota? There couldn't be two who are more tolerant and pleasant about such confusion. . . . Another Knopp has been added to the rolls of Un- ion College—Violet, freshman from North Dakota. She is intimately ac- quainted with the piano keyboard which responds to her touch like magic. And, by the way, her name is pronounced "Ka-nope." Livingston Wills, of Brownsville, Tennessee, a blind schoolmate, can do a remarkable job in reading Mid- dle English in braille. You should hear him read Chaucer's "Canter- bury Tales." Middle English is dif- ficult enough when one can see it. . . . Something rather humorous happened to me when I burst into the home of John and Lola Baker to find myself surrounded by a group of about twenty-five ladies. It was a stork shower, the first I ever attended. Pressing business elsewhere precluded my remaining long. Credit is due the worthy em- ployees of Union College book store for the vast amount of patience they have displayed in this mad rush for textbooks which either don't exist, have been delayed en route from publishers, or are out of print. . . . Phillip C. P. Ngui (pronounced "Newey," he tells me) from Singa- pore, had many interesting vacation experiences this past summer. As assistant leader of the Wilderness Canoe Expedition of the Lincoln Cornhusker Council of Boy Scouts of America, he visited, by bus and canoe, South Dakota, Iowa, Minne- sota, Wisconsin, and Canada. To rest from that vacation he took an- other. He attended the Youth's Con- gress in Frisco. Judy holds the undivided affec- tion of Elder Hardinge's Bible Doc- trines class. In celebrating her ar- rival, Elder Hardinge wrote across the blackboard, "The name is Judy," instead of the usual daily quiz ques- tions. How does it feel, Judy, to be the sweetheart of the campus at such an early age? Perhaps you can influence your daddy to celebrate all your birthdays in like manner. . . . That new voice mirror contrap- tion in the speech department is so-o-o-o revealing! FEATURE OF THE WEEK: Two UC professors sat on the north side of the music building discuss- ing "problems." One sat on the grass; the other sat on the side- walk. Guess who! . . . If you have any grammatical problems in Eng- lish or French, you should see Mrs. Gilbert Jorgensen who knows gram- mar and such in both languages from Ay to Zee. She, by the way, has a very interesting hobby—an aquarium with small tropical fish called Guppies. . . . Do you have any interesting hobbies? Let us know about them and perhaps we can pass them along to the rest of our readers. If anyone has continued with this mass of words as far as this para- graph, let him be commended as . one of great perseverance and op- timism. "The Home Economics depart- ment is better equipped to accom- modate more students this year be- cause of our many new improve- ments." This was the opinion ex- pressed by Mrs. Dunn, head of the department. With a special educational dis- count, it has been possible to obtain two new gas stoves, two new re- frigerators, a washing machine and vacuum sweeper.

Ivy Jo LARSEN Drugs Veteran's Views An open letter has been received by Dr. Woods from the Veterans Administration which gives encour- aging hope to the veteran-students that their checks will be in the mail "early in November." Here are some factors the veteran-students should keep in mind: A subsistence check cannot be paid in "advance"; it is a payment for a completed period of study— generally thirty days. Checks are mailed. about the first of each month, covering allowances due for the previous month. Therefore, a veteran enrolling after the first of September normally would not re- ceive his first check until early No- vember, and subsequent checks would follow at regular monthly periods. The first check, inciden- tally, will include payment for both October and the abbreviated period in September. Because of the vast clerical task involved in writing and mail- ing thousands of checks it is physi- cally impossible to distribute all checks on the same day. Checks or- dinarily should not be considered overdue until at least the fifth day of the month. Because of this fac- tor, the veteran is requested not to contact the VA office until after the fifth of the month.

The club meeting that was held one week later, on Thursday eve- ning, October 15, featured twenty- five minutes of technicolor film. In this meeting it was suggested by the club herald that there be set up in the North Hall waiting room a place where the fellows could shave on Saturday nights while waiting for their dates. The reason is that a few fellows are obliged to wait as long as twenty minutes for some of the fairer sex. UNPAID ADVERTISEMENTS: Visit the South Hall department store. Dean Culver can supply you with "T" shirts, tennis rackets and tennis balls. For your after-dinner snack patronize Glantz's confec- tions at the South Flail desk. If you are interested in miscellaneous ar- ticles from second-hand gum to new automobiles, consult the en- trance to the dining room and the South Hall bulletin board. Dean Culver is moving into his new apartment. According to the latest information, Everard Hicks will be the South Hall nurse. He plans to set up his "laboratory" in the dean's former apartment. The week end of October 11 marked a large exodus of fellows from the campus for various parts of the country. Those who went home were Dee Earl Hornbacher, Dowell Martz, C. E. Russel, Don Copsey, Albert Wick, Wayne John- son, Ivan Hanson, Ray Karnutz, Russell Anderson, Sterling Wallace, Paul Simmons and Dale McCune. Those who visited places other than their homes were Dale Bower, Earl Brenneise, Dale Schwarz, Fred Holweger, William Barnett, Nor- man Danner, Melvin Glantz, Cleon Wilson, and Frank Shaffer. When Woody "Confucius" Boyd speaks the whole world stands still. Silently and wisely observing two fellows slamming each other the other day, he opened his mouth and the earth trembled as his latest axiom came forth. "Man who slings mud loses ground in long run." Incidentally "Confucius" Boyd and Bud "Slugo" Gelford are train- ing for Golden Gloves. Ask the third-floor monitor what happens every night about 10:45. Several days ago Bill Putnam and Warren Zork were invited into Leon Stickney's room to eat their lunches. Tom Thompson and Bob Britain seemed very eager to find out their plans for Saturday evening, and what they had done the Saturday night before. After a half hour of pumping, during which time Bill and Warren had said practically nothing, Malcolm Campbell was in- vited to come out of the closet where he had a recording set and had been recording everything that had been said. Nice going, Putnam and Zork! And to the rest of von: be careful, the very walls have ears. Not so long ago "General" Paul Pershing agreed with some un- known individual on a bargain. He is to collect two hundred neckties by 9 p.m. October 30, and if he doesn't he has to push a peanut from South Hall to the ad building with his nose. Now a deal's a deal r id so far the "General" has only 86 ties and the time is growing shorter. Bob Gunst has adopted a turtle, but alas, he can think of no name for it. Any suggestions will be sin- cerely appreciated by Bob and a humiliated little turtle. In worship the other evening Dean Culver was making • an- nouncements concerning some fel- lows being with their "special" friends too much. Turning red, Bob Britain seemed to take the Dean's remark personally because he whis- pered unconvincingly, "He's not talking to me' I know he doesn't mean me!" Couldn't be a guilty conscience, could it, Bob? Kappa Theta Ermalee Garner presided at the first meeting of the upper-division King's Daughters League on Octo- ber 15. Ethel Trygg led in the devo- tions. Ivy Jo Larsen presented the K.D.L. constitution and Rocelia Kegley played a vibra-harp solo. Following a fitting welcome into the duties and pleasures of the club, new members were escorted to a candlelit table where they signed the K.D.L. pledge and became offi- cial members. With Donna Scott, newly elected president, in charge, the ideals and aims of the King's Daughters League were described in the first meeting of the lower division group on October 15. Introductory marim- ba music by Carol Thomson and a poem by Violet Sharpnack pro- vided a proper setting for the pro- gram. Betty Lou Williams, a junior, discussed the ideals which combine to transform a girl into a "King's Daughter." Naomi Schwab sang "Friend o' Mine." The president in- troduced a plan for Friday vesper dates with new girls as a means of creating new friendships. Other club officers are: Evelyn West, vice-president; Shirley Davis, secretary; Shirley Wilmot, assist- ant secretary; Virginia Mooney, pi- anist; and Joyce Warner, critic. The big mirror that was obtained for North Hall parlor has been moved from its position over the mantle to the space above the divan where it can be used and looked into by girls of all widths and heights. There is no bed shortage in North Hall, but one night after "lights out" it is known that three young ladies slept in one hvin bed—until one of them decided to turn over. Mrs. V. S. Dunn, head of the home economics department, talked to North Hall girls in worship Oc- tober 16. She emphasized quality and not quantity in making future wardrobe purchases. JOYCE WARNER Campus Mr. and Mrs. Gene Damerell and Miss Donna Martin of Denver and Boulder visited friends over the Oc- tober 18 week end. Mrs. Damerell is the former Patricia Martin and both she and Mr. Damerell were UC students last year. Donna is a junior in the UC School of Nursing. Fonda Nelson entertained Mrs. Milo Nelson of Hutchinson and Miss Edna Frederick of Wichita, Kansas, over the past week end. Albert Pauly was host to his par- ents and his sisters last week end. Mrs. M. H. Jensen of Weslaco, Texas, visited her daughter, Mareta, the week end of October 11. Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Wehling of Diller, Nebraska, visited Naomi Schwab the week end of October 11. Union played host recently to Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Davis from Manhattan, Kansas, who came to sec their son Charles. Week of Prayer (Continued front page one) With a background as instructor in practical theology at Emmanuel Missionary College for four years, Elder Vandeman is dble to give ex- perienced guidance and counsel to college students. About a year ago he was called to the ministerial de- partment. The class schedule has been changed. Meetings have been held' twice daily during the week, a morning chapel at 9:40, and eve- ning worship at 6:40. Following the chapel each clay 40 prayer bands have provided special time for stu- dents to meet together in small groups. Discussion periods for mar- ried students followed the regular evening gatherings.

Melvin Lohman and Evelyn Mohr were married in a simple ceremony in the chapel of the First Christian Church on October 14. All you American literature stu- dents extricate yourselves from those stacks of books and recall that "corker" Miss Shull passed out —or did you pass out?—on Tuesday? Remember that query on Bradford's "Journal" and its location after the Revolution? Hmm! On careful ex- amination of your textbook—right where you forgot it was—you will find a statement to the effect that the above mentioned document was found in the tower of a church in Boston. Wonder what a certain hopeful young student was aspiring to when he wrote, "Bradford's `Jour- nal' was found in the Clock Tower.' Heard—Betty Lou, your editor-in- chief, in a terrific hurry—as usual— assuring an anxious sponsor that "that article has already been writ up. The result of one of last year's budding romances was being re- hashed recently in the supposed privacy of an office. When it was disclosed that the couple is now separated by hundreds of miles, a cute little blonde piped up, "Hmph, who'd go that far to get a man. Most of us just come to Union." Spo/iisicie EARL WILSON BEVERLY PERIMAN Union's touch-football league is off to a good start. Five games have been played during the past two weeks. Games played thus far have shown outstanding team play in ad- dition to numerous instances of in- dividual brilliance. TEAM W L PCT.

The women's physical education classes have been starting the year right by taking tests to determine their present strength. Later tests will show any improvement. In the not-too-distant future the swimming pool will be opened. Many of the students are looking forward to the completion of the work now being done on the pool. These improvements promise fun for everyone who likes to swim. Exclusively in Lincoln . . Third Floor at Magee's
