COLLEGE VIEW, NEBRASKA, NOVEMBER 28, 1929  VOL. IV  No. 9  
Blind In Eternal Night  
D. D. Rees of Christian Record  Speaks  
In Chapel About Sightless  
D. D.  Rees, editor of  The Christian  
Record,  addressed the students in chapel  
Friday on the subject, "Rays of Light to  
the Blind." "When  I speak of the blind,"  
he said,  "I want you—all  of you who  are  
blest with sight—to visualize the blind  
man in his true appalling condition. You  
who have eyes and see, place yourselves,  
in imagination, in the place of the sight- 
less. What would it mean to you?  It  
would mean that you are plunged into  
eternal night with no hope of the dawn.  
How sad a picture! Let us to whom  
sight is spared open wide our eyes and 
see the marvelous things that man has  
wrought and the glorious handiwork  of  
the Creator, and thank God that it is His  
will that we should be blest with sight."  
There are one hundred thousand sight- 
less people in the United States. While  
many of them are intelligent, talented, and  
prosperous, the great majority of them  
are not so blessed. The speaker ex- 
plained that it was in response to the  
great need of educating the blind that the  
Christian Record publishing company was  
established in College View almost thirty  
years ago.  
"The Christian Record now goes to  
every state in the Union and to many  
foreign countries," the speaker continued.  
"It has grown in size, scope, and circula- 
tion until it is by far the largest embossed  
magazine of a general religious nature in 
the United States. Nowithstanding the  
heavy expense incurred in publishing  The  
Christian Record,  no blind reader is asked  
to pay a cent for his literature. We give  
away absolutely gratis, our entire out- 
put. This we are able to do because all  
over this great country there are sympa- 
thetic and philanthropic men and women  
who, blessed with sight, are willing to  
make a personal sacrifice that the thou- 
sands of sightless people whom we serve  
may have brought to them from month to 
month some cheer, some rays of light,  
some inspiration from good, clean, whole- 
some literature."

END OF WORLD VERY  
NEAR, ASSERTS HOUSE  
Speaker at Church Asserts Only  
Two More Signs of Christ's  
Second Coming  
- What manner of persons ought ye to  
be in all holy conversation and godliness,  
looking for and hasting unto the day of  
God?" were the words of admonition  
quoted by Pastor B. H. House in the  
eleven o'clock service Sabbath, as he  
showed that the cry of the world is that  
of "peace and safety," but that "sudden  
destruction cometh."  
He declared, "The fulfilment of two  
prophecies stands between us and the  
close of probation, the enactment of a  
Sunday law by our government, and the  
planting of the tabernacle of the 'king of  
the north' between the seas and the glori- 
ous holy mountain. As conditions have  
developed in Palestine, it seems probable  
that, were the Mohammedans to unite  
their forces, England would be driven  
from the Holy Land and 'at that time  
shall Michael stand up.' This will be the  
close of probation. China is now under  
the stress of civil war as well as that of  
famine, and is also in controversy with  
Russia. The sixth angel is now pouring  
out his vial upon the river Euphrates  
that it might be dried up to prepare the  
way for the kings of the east, to gather  
them to the battle of that great day of  
God Almighty.'  
"The Lord has told us that there should  
be a little time of peace in which we are  
to do our utmost in evangelizing the  
world. We are now living in that time.  
As President Hoover and Premier Mc- 
Donald call a disarmament conference in  
London, as the plan for the United States  
of Europe is perfected, arid as the peace  
conferences are held in the Hague, the  
cry of 'Peace and safety' goes forth from  
forty-six signers of the Briand-Kellogg  
peace treaty—the sign that 'sudden des- 
truction cometh.'."  
PROHIBITION CONTEST IS ON  
Within the last two weeks the chief  
topic of conversation is, "Are you going  
in for the prohibition contest?" and,  "Is  
It going to be an oration or an essay?"  
It seems that unusual interest has been  
created in this contest. At least the  
lib:-ary assistants think so, for they are  
continually burdened with reservations of  
books and pamphlets on this all-important  
subject. Many are entering this contest  
with set minds determined to win. Evi- 
dently a lively struggle is in view. A  
trip to Detroit is the reward to be won by  
the contestants. This is offered by the  
Nebraska State Anti-saloon League.

$40,000 WEEKLY  
FOR MISSIONS  
Pastor J. Thompson, from Wash-  
ington, D. C., Speaks In Chapel  
About Sabbath School Work  
MEMBERSHIP GROWS  
Discusses  Importance of S. S. Attendance  
by College Students, Especially  
Future Workers  
Pastor John Thompson or the Sabbath  
school department of the General confer- 
ence of Seventh-day Adventists brought  
an interesting message during the chapel  
hour Monday morning. Pastor Thomp- 
son had just returned from attending  a  
series of Sabbath school conventions in  
South Dakota. The importance of the  
Sabbath school in the work of our de- 
nomination was the burden of his talk. He  
told us that the Sabbath school members  
all over the world number a third of  a  
million, having increased 40,000 last year.  
We may soon hope to reach a member- 
ship of one-half million people in the  
Sabbath schools, he said.  
"Some people seem to believe," he con- 
tinued, "that the Sabbath school is so  
well organized that it can run itself.  
Nothing has yet been discovered that can  
run itself. The Sabbath school move- 
ment is not perpetual motion. We have  
our problems. One of them is that one  
fourth of the church members do not at- 
tend the Sabbath school. Our problem is  
to find the reason and correct it. The 
two greatest sources of leakage are con- 
nected with our own institutions, the hos- 
pitals and sanitariums, and the colleges.  
"It is easy to understand why hospitals  
should inevitably take a few people from  
Sabbath school, but there is no reason  
why the colleges should. It is necessary  
for college students to participate in the  
Sabbath school, particularly those who  
are looking forward to work in the for- 
eign mission fields.  
"The Sabbath school provides more  
maw a  fo•  tha .$-arryin2 or.  cf cr.ir wcrid.  
wide mission raovement than all other  
agencies combined. Every week approxi- 
mately $40,000 comes in from our Sab- 
bath schools for missions. The offering  
of our means is gain, not loss. There is  
nothing stable in the world's financial in- 
vestments, as the recent frenzied specu- 
lation in the stock market has shown, but  
making investments in the bank of heaven  
is putting money where one can never  
lose it."  
Pastor Thompson concluded his talk  
with an appeal for willing workers, and  
the quotation, "The Lord calls for young  
men and women to gird themselves for a  
life of labor in the Sabbath school."  
"Men rise to higher things by stepping  
on their dead selves."  
"The colored sunsets, and the starry  
heavens, the beautiful mountains, and the  
painted flowers  serve  Jesus out of love,  
in the wear and tear of common un- 
poetic life."  
BIBLE WORK, TOPIC  
Mrs. R. E. Lynn Leads Gospel Worker's  
Seminar Last Friday Evening  
"The plan of holding Bible readings  
was a heaven-born idea." This quotation  
from  Gospel Workers  was read by Mrs.  
Robert Lynn in her talk to the Gospel  
Workers' seminar on the importance of  
Bible work. She then told how the Bible  
work originated. Elder S. N. Haskell  
was speaking at a campmeeting when a  
heavy rain came up and he was unable  
to make his audience hear. Leaving the  
pulpit he went down into the middle  of  
the  tent, gathered the people about him,  
and gave out texts for them to read.  
Elder Haskell was pleased with the re- 
sults of this meeting and  he  told Mrs.  
White of it. She replied that it reminded  
her of a vision where she had seen many  
young people going to the homes giving  
Bible studies.  
The speaker stated that from that time  
interest in the Bible work began to de-.  
velop. As the ministers saw the value of  
these studies in bringing people to a  
knowledge of the truth, many young  
women were educated as Bible workers.  
The importance of more young women  
taking up Bible work as a vocation was  
stressed. In closing Mrs. Lynn read from  
the  Testimonies,  "In working for perishing  
souls you have the companionship of  
angels."  
Edith Martin then gave Miss Abbie  
Dunn a Bible study. demonstrating the  
value of the Bible study as it is given in  
the home.

CONQUERED BOYS  
HONOR VICTORS  
Larimore is Master Ceremonies.  
Professor and Mrs. Stevens  
Lead the Hike  
GIRLS ENTERTAINED  
Three Mile Hike Into Country and Three  
Hour Patty In Dining Room  
Featured by Men  
Just  as the clock in the tower struck  
seven, one hundred and twenty-five Union  
college students led by Professor and  
Mrs. Stevens started off in the dusk on a  
three-mile hike, the first feature of the  
entertainment prepared by the defeated  
heroes of THE CLOCK TOWER subscrip- 
tion campaign.  
Along the way, on fences and telephone  
poles, thirty-two slips of paper had been  
fastened, the finders of which were to be  
awarded prizes when they returned to the  
college. With the aid of flashlights and  
nimble feet, sharp eyes discovered eight  
of the slips. By eight-twenty everyone  
had returned from the hike, and assembled  
in the dining room in South hall.  
The first half hour was spent in play- 
ing games. The entire group was divided  
into four smaller ones, each to represent  
different makes of automobiles, Cadillac,  
Studebaker, Auburn and Willys-Knight.  
The following contests and races afforded  
the winners a certain number of points  
which were credited to their particular  
car: Chair race, feeding contest, drink- 
ing contest, and spelling contest. The  
Auburns took first place, the Willys- 
Knights second place.  
And then came lunch time. After  
Professor Thompson had asked the bles- 
sing, the girls were led by Walter Howe  
into another room while the boys re- 
mained in the main dining room. A sheet  
was hung at the entrance of the dining  
room, and the girls on one side stood with  
only feet showing so that the boys on the  
other side might choose partners for sup- 
per. Sandwiches. pumpkin pie. and sweet  
cider «ere served.  
After lunch the program of the evening  
was given. Allie Banik played two  
guitar selections, which were followed by  
some songs by the Union college quartet.  
Theodore Howard read, and Wallace  
Nethery played a violin solo. After  
speeches by Professor Little and Mrs.  
Burroughs and the singing of the college  
song, the gathering broke up.

MISSIONS SUPPORTED  
College S. S. Program Has Missions Talk  
and Two Music Numbers  
Sabbath morning found Union college  
students in attendance as usual at the  
regular college Sabbath school to enjoy  
a varied program.  
Do missions pay? This is a question of  
interest to any Seventh-day Adventist  
and the keynot of the mission talk by  
Frank Baer. He would answer this ques- 
tion in the affirmative out of his ten years  
of experience as a missionary's son in  
South America. He pictured the physical  
and' religious ills in China that need our  
aid and remedies.  
Instead of the usual review, three ques- 
tions asked by the superintendent, Profes- 
sor Ledington, summerized the preced- 
ing week's lesson.  
Two special musical selections concluded  
the program: a piano solo by Mr. R. G.  
Wakeham, and a vocal duet by Veldah  
and Grant Stahnke,  "I  Will Extol Thee."

ORTHOPEDIC HOSPITAL A N D  
TWO ORPHANAGES VISITED  
At the St. Thomas orphanage about  
sixty children gathered to listen to a  
program given under the leadership of  
Fae Cowin and Irene Anderson.  
The program consisted of stories by  
Harold Lincoln and Fae Cowin, a game  
by Irene Anderson, two saxophone num- 
bers by Joyce Hall, and a violin solo by  
Hazel Kipp.  
The program at the State orphanage  
was given under the leadership of  
Dorothy Aultfather. The numbers in- 
cluded in the program were a vocal solo  
by Fonda Campbell, stories by Ada  
Townsend and Blanche Gilbert, and the  
teaching of a song to the children by  
Velvah Smouse.  
The program at the Orthopedic hos- 
pital in charge of Elsie Mohr consisted of  
the following numbers: songs by James  
Meade; stories by Helen Bousman, 
Mauveth Davies, and James Gaitens; a  
guitar trio by Elsa Emery, Leon Baker  
and Allie Banik; and a guitar solo by  
Allie Banik.  

About sixty per cent of the people who  
are discharged from work in the various  
trades, occupations and professions are  
discharged, not because of technical in- 
competence, but because they are social  
misfits. They are immoral, or dishonest,  
or simply difficult to live and work with.  
They can do the work all right, but they  
have such disagreeable character and  
personality defects as to make their em-
ployers and their associates want them  
to leave. These people are at outs with  
the world. The discharged bookkeeper  
says jealousy accounts for his discharge.  
He was "the most careful, accurate, and  
speedy man they had" and so he is "fired"  
and goes out talking to himself. The de- 
parting clerk argues that she was never  
I given a chance. Everybody conspired to  
keep her from success. Other girls were  
promoted while she was marked for drud- 
gery. They told her she wasn't pleasant  
to the trade, "but who would feel like  
being pleasant with the whole store  
against her." And so  she  goes down and  
out "telling the world" that she never  
had a chance. The failing student says  
"the instructor didn't know his subject"  
Nine of the twenty-one cables linking  
the United States and Europe were out  
of commission from earthquake tremors  
which touched the coasts of New York,  
New England, and Canada. The tossing  
of the sea bed between New York and  
Nova Scotia, the cable area, is believed  
to have broken the cables.  
Paschal Ortiz Rubio, National Revo- 
lutionary party candidate for president,  
was swept into office .   by what appeared  
to be the greatest presidential vote ever  
cast in Mexico. The election was made  
ricc.:•33mry by the  	 in July,  
1928, of Gen. Alvaro Obregon. Portes  
Gil was made provisional president and  
took office at that time to serve until an- 
other could be chosen. There was blood- 
shed in several cities but the rioting  
which attended the election was not gen- 
eral. Twelve have been reported killed.  
James W. Good, Secretary of  War,  
died at the Walter Reed hospital, where  
he underwent an emergency operation for  
appendicitis which resulted in general  
peritonitis. Funeral services were held in  
the east room of the White House and  
his body was shipped to his home at  
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In Mr. Good, Presi- 
dent Hoover has lost one of the best  
members of his cabinet and one  of his  
closest advisers, particularly on political  
matters.  
Adjournment brought a week-long  
truce today in the Senate's never-ending  
political warfare and an opportunity for  
its members to rest and recuperate before  
undertaking the laborious program of  the  
regular session. Legislators, wearied from  
weeks of wrangling over the tariff bill,  
turned toward home, relaxation, recrea-  
OXFORD STUDENTS DEBATE  
WITH NEBRASKA UNIVERSITY  
A group of students attended a debate  
between the Oxford university and Uni- 
versity of Nebraska debating teams at  
the St. Paul's church Thursday evening.  
The subject of the debate was "The jury  
is unnecessary for justice," the Oxford  
team taking the affirmative. No decision  
was given.  
The affirmative contended that unless  
a man is an expert in law he is incapable  
of judging offenders. A judge who has  
made a lifetime study of law and justice  
can better mete out justice than can a  
large inexperienced jury. The negative  
contended that only a jury can give a  
verdict without being politically influ- 
enced, for a judge may loose his posi- 
tion by giving a just verdict.   

or "had it in" for him. And  so it goes  
without end, this wail  of the defeated.  
But it's  a different story the employer  
tells. He protests  at the spiritual, tem- 
peramental,  and social misfits and unfits  
he is asked to employ. They are erratic,  
eccentric, 	 s e 1 f-seeking, complaining,  
grudging, without adaptability, mercenary,  
licentious, unreliable, thieving, indifferent,  
tardy, disorderly, untidy, insolent, irres- 
ponsible, destructive, wasteful, sources of  
dissension, etc.  
Most of these failing employees know  
their subject, their trade, their profession,  
but they don't know how to please others.  
They don't fit in. They are short on  
team work. They have knowledge with- 
out understanding. They are failures in  
human relationships. They need a course  
in getting along with others, in obeying  
rules, in promptness, in sportsmanship.  
They need a few years in a good college  
home with a normal crowd of live stu- 
dents, and a good dean. Such a course 
doesn't count on a Bachelor's degree, but  
It does help to a great extent in making  
a man Master of Human Relationships.  
tion, and attention to private business that  
had to be deferred while the measure was  
before the Senate. They will meet again  
on December 2.  
Georges Clemenceau, the "Tiger of  
France," died at 1:55 Sunday morning.  
The splendid, stormy career of the war- 
time savior of France ended at his home.  
He was eighty-eight years old, yet almost  
to the end, energetic, mentally and phy- 
ically, with his tongue and pen as active  
as ever. France has lost a warrior. En- 
shrined as "Father of Victory" his in- 
domitable determination out backbone and  
heart into France in the anxious days  
when the Germans crossed the Marne.  
After the .war he dominated the peace  
conference in carving out a new world,  
wielding such power as few men in his- 
tory have exercised. Strangely, he died  
with his gloves on, a mystery which will  
never be solved. Still more strange was  
his request that he be  buried as a  con- 
firmed atheist, without benefit of the  
clergy.  
President  Hoover appealed for nation- 
wide economic help by dispatching  a  
message to each state executive which  
urged that state, county, and municipal  
building  programs for the next twelve  
months be speeded up and adjusted to a  
point commensurate with the federal  
government's own efforts.  
The presiding elders of  the Irving  street  
Quaker meeting house, where President  
and Mrs. Hoover worship, believe so  
thoroughly in the freedom of religion that  
they no longer pass the collection plate  
on Sunday. The situation, the deacons  
felt, savored too much of commercialism.  
Mr. Hoover had nothing to do with the  
decision but concurred in it heartily.  
OLSON, WILLIAMS, BANIK AND  
WENTLAND SPEAK  
A humorous program was given Thurs- 
day evening at the men's reformatory.  
Those in charge of this work plan to give  
one night a month to humor and three  
nights to religious activities.  
Walter Howe began the program with  
a song service consiting of the men's  
favorite lively songs. Marie Olson read  
"The Cremation of Sam Magee" and  
"Teena at the Ball Game;"  Ada Williams  
read "An Object of Love" and "A Similar  
Case"; and Allie Banik played on his  
guitar "When You and  I  Were Young,  
Maggie" and "Home Sweet Home the  
Family Over"; Willard Wentland read  
"How  We Caught a Mouse. -

Making of Man Given  
Four Act Dialogue Portrays Life of Boy  
From Orphanage to Manhood  
The Young People's  Missionary  Vol- 
unteer  society gave the hour on Friday  
evening, November 22, to the Sunshine  
band, which was under the direction of  
Blanche Gilbert.  
After a piano solo by Professor Jorgen- 
son, Miss Gilbert outlined the work of the  
band and gave some of its past history.  
Five groups go out every Sabbath after- 
noon, one to each of the following places:  
the state orphanage, the old people's  
home, the Catholic orphanage, the  
Orthopedic hospital and Tabitha home.  
Mrs. Penfold, head nurse of the Ortho- 
pedic hospital, told of the conveniences  
and pleasures which are being given con- 
tinually to the crippled children there.  
But it is the Sunshine band to whose com- 
ing they look forward most eagerly, be- 
cause these Union college students are  
the only ones who tell Bible stories and  
sing songs about Jesus.  
A four-act dialogue was presented, de- 
picting first a group of Union college stu- 
dents giving a program in an orphanage.  
Then the life of an orphan boy was  
shown, the temptations faced and over- 
come in boyhood, in college, and in busi- 
ness, because of the memory of stories  
and songs by the Sunshine band so long  
before. At the close of the program, each  
person in the audience was given the  
opportunity to join the band he preferred.  
SEMINAR MEMBERS CONDUCT

EXTERIOR NOT TRUE  
INDEX TO THE SOUL  
Thompson Discusses Christian  
Ethics in School Life at  
Chapel Wednesday  
"You can  learn the character of peo- 
ple  so that you  can see back of the de- 
formities and handicaps and come to love  
the inner soul of them for what they  
really are," stated President Thompson,  
addressing the students in chapel Wed- 
nesday.  
He discussed a vital problem of school  
ethics, the right attitude toward the less  
fortunate and toward those in authority.  
"Is it ethical, kindly, genteel, or Chris- 
tian," he asked, "to shun those who are  
socially unelected merely because they  
are handicapped  by some exterior defect?"  
He told of an incident which occurred  
during an evening of games and march- 
ing. A hunchback boy was first in the  
boys' line. A number of girls were un- 
willing to be the first in the girls' line for  
fear of having to march with 'him. One  
young woman stepped forward and took  
the undesired place. "Such a woman is  
a princess," said President Thompson,  
"and has a grace that will make for her  
a place in life. But it is disappointing to  
find a large number, both in school and  
out, who seem utterly bereft of  all the  
fine instincts of gentility.  
"We forget too easily the lowly back- 
ground of Christianity. We fail to get  
the picture of the tired, dusty Teacher,  
followed by outcasts. The word 'com- 
passion,' above  all others, characterized  
the life of Jesus. We, too, may learn to  
see back of the exterior and find much  
that is lovely and noble in the inner soul  
of man.  
"We must meet the problem of our  re- 
lationship  with those in authority over  
us, not only in the home and the school,  
but all through life. To feel abused is a  
subtle form of selfishness. The student  
who holds himself in an unapproachable  
attitude can not fairly condemn his teach- 
ers for not understanding and helping him  
solve his problems. In all these connec- 
tions throughout life there are problems  
which are age-old and which must be  
solved from the inside out, by a charit- 
able attitude toward those outside. -

We, the Kansas boys, hope that from  
reading this little article other state  
groups may get some pointers that will  
help them to be winners next year. As  
a matter of fact, it came as a surprise  
to us.  
We never thought so much about being  
first in the state groups as we did in help- 
ing the boys out do the girls. It was  
harder for us to feel the spirit of compe- 
tition toward our comrades in the cause  
than it was to win over the opposing  
side.  
The boys from Kansas are glad to be  
the winners for several reasons. We wish  
to tell the glories of our state, which is  
natural. This year we do not have the  
most students in college but our victory  
will help us to hold the balance of power  
To be a winner is an honor and we are  
naturally proud of it. It is an honor also  
to have our name in  THE CLOCK TOWER,  
and to have a number dedicated to us.  
Now to tell how we really did it, which  
will not take very long. We got each one  
of the Jayhawk men to write as many  
letters as he could for subscriptions, but  
this did not pay. Only one tenth of one  
percent answered. Each one put in his  
own subscription, and about one other.  
All the other subscriptions were received  
through personal solicitation of indivi- 
duals.  
We hereby give an open challenge to  
the girls in next year's contest. If they  
wish to know what the boys will do next  
year, let them think this over, "What is  
the idea of studying history?"  

1. To uphold the standards of  
the school.  

Clock Tower Ideals For 1929-30  
To print the news of College  
View that is of interest to the  
readers.  
To publish Alumni news.  
To publish the news of the  
academy.  

2 To reflect the life of the stu- 
dents of Union College.  
3. To make the Clock Tower  
the voice of all the students.  	 7. To be progressive.  

BY JOE TUCKER  
Aeronautics is doing, and to a great  
extent, has already accomplished for  
Wichita what the automobile business did  
for Detroit, and this is not due to chance.  
Besides being the "sunflower state,"  
Kansas is known as the  - central state"  
because of its geographical position.  
Nature has blessed the state with acres  
of smooth level ground, well covered with  
the native prairie sod, which is ideal for  
landing and taking off. These factors  
make it the ideal place for an air ter- 
minal, and at Wichita are located some  
of the best flying fields and largest com- 
panies for airplane construction in our  
country.  
Over $5,000,000 is invested in aircraft  
factories and over 1,640 acres are devoted  
to flying fields at Wichita. The possible  
production of these factories is 120 air- 
ships of various types each week. More  
than 2,000 persons are employed in the  
aviation industry there and one fourth of  
all commercial airships flying today in  
America were built in Wichita, the  "Asr  
Capital."  
The municipal air-port of Wichita re- 
ceives the highest government rating, AA.  
The huge modern approved type hangar  
of brick and steel, which has space for  
thirty planes, will accommodate any land  
planes now built. The field, containing  
640 acres, is well drained, making its sur- 
face perfect for the purpose it serves.  
There are many institutions in Wichita  
offering various courses in aeronautics, in- 
cluding the University of Wichita, which  
offers a four-year course in aeronautical  
engineering under the direction of Alex- 
ander N. Pertoy, a graduate of the air  
department of the University of Michi- 
gan. This is one of the few schools  
which has recognized that the future of  
the airplane industry lies in the develop-
ment of competent engineers capable of  
approaching the subject of plane building  
from the scientific viewpoint.  
All  this  has developed within just one  
decade, and by the time another has  
passed we expect to see Kansas in gen- 
eral, and Wichita in particular, reaping  
still larger benefits which a growing  air  
industry will afford.  

DEDICATION  
This issue of  THE CLOCK  TOWER  is dedicated to the Kansas boys  
who won first place of the boys' state groups in the recent subscription  
campaign. Our congratulations to the Kansas boys on their achieve- 
ment!  
THANKFULNESS  
As  Thanksgiving season approaches, little children look in wide- 
eyed ecstasy to the yellow pumpkin bordered blackboards and the  
rustic corn shock in the corner of the classroom. Adolescent boys  
and girls repeat with rising and falling intonations poems, as "When  
the Frost is on the Pumpkin.' " Business men welcome the relaxa- 
tion of the two or three days change from labor. College boys and  
girls hasten homeward to see "the folks" and get a "real Thanks- 
giving dinner." All dread is forgotten of the painful aftermath us- 
ally accompanying those Thanksgiving dinners in childhood mem- 
ories when plum pudding, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie kept  
quarrelsome company.  
These are memories of Thanksgiving. Inseparable from No- 
vember 28 is the proverbial Thanksgiving dinner. True, some of  
the most convivial gatherings in all times and lands have been accom- 
panied by eating and drinking. But let us accompany this gratifica- 
tion of our physical needs with a sincere prayer of homage to the  
Giver of all gifts.  
We who enjoy the privileges of a college education should be  
most grateful for the sacrifice and help of teachers, fellow students  
and especially parents. What a definite note of thankfulness should  
be heard in our thanksgiving this year. —M.  

BY  JAKE SIEBENLIST  
Each individual has problems to solve,  
for our future is largely determined by  
the way we solve our daily problems.  
For instance, the question related to edu-  
cation often confronts a student.  	 Just  
what is education? Does it prepare an  
individual better for life, and if so, to  
what extent? Then again, to what ex- 
tent can we limit education? Does the  
mere fact that a person does complete the  
secondary school or, perhaps better,  
finishes college, classify him as being edu- 
cated? Or is life itself a long school  
period? Too often we fail to get the  
right conception of what education is.  
While conversing with an old acquain- 
tance one day, I asked him what he hoped  
to derive from an education. He ex- 
pressed the idea that education was to  
help him get the rich man's money. We  
can readily see how this individual has  
failed to  9,,t die  real motive uPtcu,  edu- 
cation. He had the wrong objective in  
mind.  
If I were to ask a scientist to define  
education, he, in his scientific mind, would  
explain it in terms of neuronic connec- 
tions, or the strengthening of neuronic  
connections by association. Then I would  
turn to an educator across the table from  
me and have him define the term. He  
would most likely define it as preparing  
an individual better socially for life, or  
preparing him better to fit into the scheme  
of society. A philosopher sitting by my  
side will then express himself and say  
that an education prepares a man to  
think, and that in terms of his daily prob- 
lems. To develop such thinking is truly  
one of the highest achievements in edu- 
cation. A man who can think clearly 
can be a success in life. The way a man  
relates himself to his daily problems  
shows his intellectual capacity. Adapt- 
ability to present circumstances is truly  
an index to  a man's intellect.  
Education may be a closer neuronic  
connection; it may develop one's thinking  
powers, or it may help one adapt him- 
self to present circumstances, but if it  
does not show you your relation to God  
and to the universe it has failed in its  
greatest objective. Above all, education  
should prepare a person to lift humanity  
to a higher level socially, mentally, eco- 
nomically, and religiously. From the  
Christian's viewpoint, service to humanity  
is his greatest objective. That is what  
he hopes to attain through education.  

"Whenever you ask someone to re- 
mind you of something you are sure to  
reemember it yourself."

I AM EDUCATION  
"I bear the torch that enlightens the  
world, fires the imagination of man, feeds  
the flame of genius. I give wings to  
dreams and might to hand and brain.  
"From out the deep shadows of the past  
I come, wearing the scars of struggle and  
stripes of toil, but bearing in triumph the  
wisdom of all ages. Man, because of me,  
holds dominion over earth, air and sea;  
it is for him I leash the lightning, plumb  
the deep, and shackle the ether.  
"I am the parent of progress, creator of  
culture, molder of destiny. Philosophy,  
science, and art are the works of my  
hand. I banish ignorance, discourage vice,  
disarm anarchy.  
"Thus have I become freedom's citadel  
the arm of democracy, the hope of youth, 
the pride of adolescence, the joy of age.  
Fortunate the nations and happy the  
homes that welcome me.  
"The school is my workshop; here I  
stir ambitions, stimulate ideals, forge the  
keys that open the door to opportunity.  
I am the source of inspiration; the aid of  
aspiration. I am irresistable power."  

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT UNION  
In early fall the campus of Union col- 
lege is green and inviting to the students  
to sit either on the rock pile or among 
the shady rocks by North hall. Later,  
when the leaves begin to turn to different  
shades and fall, the trees are a riot of  
color—brown, red, orange, and yellow— 
and students linger along the winding  
brick walks on the cinder path. Winter  
comes and covers our stalwart cotton- 
woods and rows of pines with hoary  
frost that weighs their branches down  
with  snow,  until it seems that they must  
break; all the campus is a white sheet of  
snow with here and there a huge drift like  
a rumpled counterpane. With the advent  
of spring we are willing to bear with  
slush and rains for a while, as it finally  
reveals to us a campus of fresh green, 
red and yellow tulips; and the bushes of  
spirea covered with white star-flowers  
bend low and invite one to stroll down  
the curved brick walks to the arches again.  
This is just one of the many things I like  
about Union.—MARION CHRISTMANN.  

Fifty students and teachers solicited  
Harvest Ingathering money by singing In  
the residential section of Lincoln Wed- 
nesday evening. The singers were divided  
into two groups, each containing four  
mixed quartets andf our solicitors. While  
the young people sang in the street, the  
solicitors called at the homes and asked  
for offerings.

A Son of Kansas  
BY HERMAN MILLER  
Charles Curtis was born in a log cabin  
near Topeka, Kansas, in 1860. His  
father, Capt. D. A. Curtis, was a soldier  
and a scout. His mother was the daugh- 
ter of an Indian princess of the Kaw  
tribe.  
He attended such schools as were to be  
had for his elementary work, and later  
walked five miles daily to high school.  
When he graduated from high school he  
obtained a position as a stable helper  
and jockey and, so worked his way  
through law school and was admitted to 
the bar in 1881.  
He became county attorney of Shawnee  
county. From this he was elected to the  
National House of Representatives, where  
he served from 1843-1907. He was taken  
from this position to fill a vacancy in the  
Senate. He finished that term and was  
re-elected later on his own ticket. In  
1928 he received the Republican nomina- 
tion for Vice-president and resigned from  
the Senate. He was the first man of  
Indian blood to gain such a high honor  
and it was the first time that the Indian  
population of the United States became  
sufficiently interested in a presidential  
election to exercise in any complete way  
their right to vote.  
SIDELIGHTS ON ARTISTS  
CHLOE ADAMS  
Goethe, the famous German literary  
genius, has said, "He knows no language  
who knows only his own." But the uni- 
versal language that is understood the  
world over is the language of art.  
When one visits a great gallery of  
painting, there may be a score of pictures  
which he passes by with only a glance,  
but finally he approaches one which so  
attracts his attention that he is charmed 
and inspired by its beauty. It may be only 
a simple little sketch, yet it has character 
and originality that lifts him to higher  
thinking and to a fuller appreciation of  
the better things of life. So it is with  
individuals whom we meet in our school  
life. We admire the person who posses- 
ses originality and who does that which  
is right, not merely that which seems ex- 
pedient. We can not all be singers, poets,  
or painters, yet each of us can make his  
world and his work more beautiful and  
more pleasant for others.  
Besides originality there are other  
characteristics of artists worth emulating.  
One eminent painter of Ruskin's time at- 
tributed his success to the motto "Know  
what you have to do, and do it." Ruskin  
continues with the thought that this idea  
is "not only adaptable to the branch of  
art to which it is temporarity applied, but  
expresses the great principle of success in 
every direction of human effort." Where  
no purpose is, there is no achievement.  
With purpose there must be determina- 
tion. Sir Joshua Reynolds, England's  
greatest portrait painter, has said that  
"excellence is never granted to a man but  
as a reward of labor."  
Sometimes the inspiration of his art has  
driven a man to achieve that which to the  
ordinary mind appears to be unattainable.  
For example, Alexander H. Wyant was  
an eminent American painter of the nine- 
teenth century. At the age of thirty-seven  
his right arm became paralyzed, yet with  
his left hand he manipulated his brush  
more skillfully than before, and inter- 
preted on his canvas the alluring autumn  
evenings of the Catskills. "The water  
without may toss a ship, but it's the water  
within that sinks it."

True Education  
Teaches Service  

By A  JAYHAWKER  
"Kansas! Fair State, we well may claim  
A meed of praise for thee;  
None other boasts so great a fame,  
So grand a history,  
As through oppressions, strifes, and wars  
She soars triumphant to the stars."  
Kansas has a colorful history. The  
spotlight of public interest first began to  
focus on her a few years before the  
Kansas-Nebraska bill was introduced in  
1853. The momentous question of slavery  
was a bone of contention at this time.  
Missouri had entered the union a slave  
state some years before and naturally she  
wanted Kansas, her sister state, also to  
become a slave state.  
Then began the period that gave  
Kansas the name "bloody Kansas." Husky  
Missourians pushed across the border to  
lay claim to the fertile land and to cast  
votes for slavery in Kansas. In the  
North, immigration societies were formed  
which offered free transportation to any- 
one who was willing to cast his vote  
against slavery. Civil war was inevitable 
and the one which followed finds a paral- 
lel in the history of no other state in the  
union. The name of John Brown, the  
praying fighter, is closely linked with  
Kansas history during this period, but 
let us pass over some of the terrible ex- 
periences through which Kansas went in  
order to become a free state.  
In 1861 Kansas was admitted as the  
thirty-fourth state of the union. Three  
months after she was admitted she was  
called upon to furnish her quota of troops  
to defend that union. After the Civil  
war, Kansas settled down to a well earned  
peace. Fields of grain began to cover  
the broad plains. Kansas became thickly  
settled with hardy farmers who planted  
more grain, and now she ranks among 
the first as a wheat-growing state. In 
the production of corn, oats, broom-corn,  
and fruits she has also come to the front.  
In educational lines she has made phe- 
nomenal progress.  
As to temperance, it has been said that  
"Kansas leads the van for reform." Even  
the vice-president of the United States  
is a Kansan.  
But the President is an Iowan.  
Kansas has a number of oil cities. Be- 
ing located in the heart of the United  
States, it has become one of the greatest  
aircraft centers, the city of Wichita pro- 
ducing more aeroplanes than any other  
municipality in the United States. Lo- 
cated at Hutchinson are the largest salt  
mines in the world.  
There is a large enrollment of Kansas  
students at Union college and within the  
i - iieaSt of each one throbs the heart of  
a true Unionite. Several of the instruc- 
tors claim Kansas as their home. Every  
Jayhawker here will say, "Kansas,  we're  
strong for you."  
HINTS ON HEALTH  
By Ruth Butterbaugh  
Any measure that builds up the system  
and increases the natural defenses of the  
body, along with sufficient sleep, whole- 
some food, and an active condition of the  
eliminative organs, will insure against  
colds.  
Any defects of teeth, tonsils, or  nose  
should be attended to. Close contact  
with persons having colds should be  
avoided, because germs are coughed into  
the air, and one standing in front of  an  
infected person may get Infection in that  
way. Germs may be passed from mouth  
to mouth by cups, spoons, or other eat- 
ing utensils, or to the hands by door  
knobs and other objects that are touched.  
In times of epidemic one should keep  
away from the crowd as much as pos- 
sible.  
Excess work that may lower the resis- 
tance and faulty eating that may cause  
digestive disturbance should be avoided.  
Other causes of low vitality are over- 
heated rooms, dry air, drafts, and wet  
feet. Circulatory resistance may be in- 
creased by taking a cold plunge, cold  
shower, or cold mitten friction on rising in  
the morning.-

Messenger.)  
The Student Volunteer movement  gave  
a  supper  in the basernehz -   of th,e First

Students were present from Wesleyan,  
Nebraska university, Cotner, and Union.  
A committee was chosen, consisting of  
one member from each college repre- 
sented, to lay definite plans for carrying  
on missionary work in Lincoln. Miss  
Clara Wade was chosen as the represen- 
tative from Union.

COME TO KANSAS  
There's a mighty bracin' air,  
Here in Kansas.  
All you folks that's in the dumps  
'Cause you've had lot of bumps,  
Jes' get up an' stir your stumps—  
Here in Kansas.  
We don't loll around and mope,  
Here in Kansas.  
No, we don't! We git a move  
On ourselves, which goes to prove  
That we've struck the git-there groove,  
Here in Kansas.  
Them that stayed, they struck it rich,  
Here in Kansas.  
You bet your life they'll never roam  
Across the ocean's briny foam— 
They've got a Klondike right to home,  
Here in Kansas.  
We've got the finest of the wheat,  
Here in Kansas.  
An' corn-fields! you jes' orter see  
How everlastin' big they be!  
An' then I know that you'd agree  
Here in Kansas.

Guess Who?  
BY  ELMER SCHMIDT  
Among our faculty members we have  
one who has been here for eight years.  
While looking through some of the his- 
tory books we find mentioned a certain  
family of German descent living in the  
northern part of the territory of Kansas,  
about twelve miles from St. Joe, Missouri.  
No doubt it was a good thing for a  
family of ten that they lived on a farm,  
and this was the birthplace of one of  
our faculty members. She was the type  
that did not like to live on a farm, be- 
cause she was—plainly speaking—afraid.  
Being the youngest, she was given only  
small duties to perform. Her first duty  
was always to keep the wood boxes  
filled (those were the large boxes behind  
the kitchen stove that most older people  
remember). Another one of her duties  
was to care for the flock of geese, and she  
was so very tender-hearted that should  
something happen to her "goslin' " she  
would sit down and cry and cry.  
Once, when but a child, she showed  
great presence of mind. She was in the  
path of a runaway horse, and being ex- 
cited and seeing no immediate escape, she  
merely stooped down and the horse gal- 
loped over her, not hurting her in the  
least.  
Playing on the piano seemed to be her  
hobby, even playing the organ if some  
one would work the pedals for her. After  
finishing high school she rode about  
horseback to give music lessons.  
In 1910 she came to Lincoln, Nebraska,  
and entered the School of Music at that  
place. After a four year course, she  
graduated with high honors and accepted  
a  position in a western school. After re- 
maining there a few years she was trans- 
ferred to a school in Missouri. Finally  
she was called to teach here at Union,  
and is still a part of our school.

Word comes from Norman W. Dunn  
in Balboa, Canal Zone: ''We are greatly  
enjoying our work in Panama. We feel  
quite at home now in the Spanish element.  
We have just finished the Harvest In- 
gathering campaign among the business  
men of Panama City. My partner and I  
together received $1,284, which has  
broken the record for Panama City. We  
shall soon be leaving Panama for Costa  
Rica, where I have been appointed super- 
intendent for the Costa Rican mission.  
We regret to leave Panama but the  
brethern are anxious to open the work  in  
Costa Rica. The climate there is much  
more healthful than it is here and the  
people are purely Spanish. From that  
angle, I am glad to go. Of course it is  
a new work, so the opportunities for  
growth are unlimited.  
He also says, refering to his subscrip- 
tion to THE CLOCK TOWER.  - THE CLOCK  
TOWER will enable me to keep up with  
Union college activities without the neces ,   
city  of writing often. Of course a good  
letter from my friends is always appre- 
ciated."  
O  	   
MY WORK  
Let me do my work from day to day,  
In field or forest, at the desk or loom,  
In roaring market place or tranquil room;  
Let me find it in my heart to say,  
When vagrant wishes beckon me astray.  
"This is my work, my blessing, not my  
doom;  
Of all who live, I am the one by whom  
This work can best be done in the right  
way."  
Then shall I see it not too great, nor  
small,  
To suit my spirit and to prove my  
powers;  
Then shall I cheerful greet the laboring  
hours,  
And cheerful turn, when the long  
shadows fall  
At eventide, to play and love and rest,  
Because I know for me my work is  
best.  
—HENRY VAN DYKE.  
Poets' Corner  
OLD PALS  
BY HAROLD LINCOLN  
Sometimes I get to thinking,  
And old memories come a-linking,  
And I think of the pals  
Time has left behind.  
Why, it seems that the heart  
Always gives a little start  
When you think of old pals  
That were a part of yourself. 
It's mighty hard to think  
They've been laid upon the shelf.  
Why, that look upon your face  
Seems to tell me what takes place,  
When you think of old pals.  
No, it seems we can't forget 
Not even one little bit.  
Where are they all now, you say?  
Well—they've gone their several ways;  
Seems like time has taken his pay,  
When you think of old pals.  
Now we sit and dream and sigh,  
And our heart, it seems to cry  
Just to hear their voices again,  
just to look into their eyes,  
Just to walk down through the lane  
And whistle the old refrain  
That we all used to sing,  
When we were pals.  
What's the matter?—tears fall gently like  
the rain.  
Seems strange how memories cling.  
Seems like old pals are near,  
But they're far away, I fear,  
Our old pals.  
I wonder if in your heart  
You and your pals are far apart.  
If you are—why not start  
A mem'ry book down in your heart,  
When you think of the old pals?  

Interesting Facts  
About Electricity  
BY MERRILL SMITH  
Did you ever become curious enough  to  
put your finger into a light socket to find  
what was there that made a light? If you  
have, you know what I mean when I  
say "personal contact with electricity."  
We commonly say we get a shock when  
by accident we come In contact with two  
bare wires carrying a current.  
A question so often asked is "How  
much electricity does it take to kill a  
person?" That is a hard question to  
answer, for conditions vary so much. We  
do know how much is used to kill a  
person, but how much one can have pass  
through his body and still live is another  
question. There are scores of cases  
where people have gotten enough current  
from a light socket in a house to kill  then.  
I have gotten hold of 110 volts (the volt- 
age commonly used in house lighting) and  
been unable to let go; and I want to  
tell you it is no fun.  
Some further explanation of the fore-  
going paragraph is perhaps necessary. To  
get current enough from 110 volts to be  
really dangerous, you must be "grounded."  
By that I mean in contact with the  
ground. This may be by means of a  
pipe or by a stream of water. So if you  
are on a damp floor, take care about  
handling light sockets and switches, for  
faulty wiring may put you in a path be- 
tween the switch and the ground and it is  
then that you get a severe shock.  
It is a most peculiar feeling to have  
current of such magnitude passing through  
your body that you cannot move. The  
first thing you want to do is yell, but if  
you can get your mouth open you can't  
shut it. Your tongue is paralyzed and  
every muscle in your body feels like a  
hard knot. You can still think and the  
things you think of are a good deal the  
same as if you were drowning; at least,  
this was the way I felt. For some five  
minutes I stood in about an inch of water  
in a basement of a house holding a lamp  
cord full of current. The insulation on it  
was wet and I picked it up. To let loose 
was impossible, for the muscles of my  
fingers contracted. I shifted all my weight  
to one foot and managed by some means  
or other to get the other foot on to a  
dry plank, then shifting my body back,  
got free.  
From such experiences we imagine that  
death by electricity must be terrible. The  
fact of the case is that when 2,000 volts  
hits a person he never knows it. Obser- 
vations have been made of those electro- 
cuted at the Sing Sing prison and this is  
what happens. Two thousand volts pass  
through the body for three seconds then  
it is lowered to five hundred volts for the  
remainder of the minute. This process is  
repeated for three minutes in succession.  
The heart stops at once and is held in  
this condition for the three minutes. The  
brain rises in temperature from 98 degrees  
to 212 degrees or the boiling point of:  
water. How much of this does the person  
know? Absolutely nothing. In the 240th  
of a second after the current is turned on,  
he is unconscious. So far as he is con- 
cerned, it is painless.  
Now just a word of caution. Be sure  
that wires you find lying on the ground  
are dead before you attempt to move  
them, also wires hanging from poles.  
They look innocent, but if alive, are no  
respectors of persons. If perchance, you  
find some one is holding a wire who can- 
not free himself, or has fallen across a  
live wire, take care that you do not grasp  
the person or you will be in the same  
trouble. Turn off the current if you can,  
or if you can't do that, move the person  
free from the wire by means of a dry  
board or some other non-conductor.  
Be a friend—you don't need money,  
Just a disposition sunny;  
Just a wish to help another—  
Get along some way or other.  
Just a kindly hand extend; 
Just the will to give or lend,  
This will make you someone's friend.  
—Ade Albright.

Helpfulness is Greatness  
By Paul Meyer  
In the minds of every American,  
Abraham Lincoln stands as a true ideal of  
greatness, not entirely because of the  
achievements of his life, but also because  
of the beauty of his character. Loved  
for his simple deeds and famous for his  
acts of kindness, he created in the hearts  
of men a never-dying adoration.  
To achieve success and be kown among  
men is the desire of every self-respecting 
man. We all would like to excel in the  
line of work in which we are interested.  
And why not? That is one of the reasons  
for our being in college.  
To my mind, one of the  best  ways to  
achieve success is by helping one another.  
By simple deeds and  little words of  
kindness many a friend has been won.  
The riches of greatness are not  all  
reckoned in silver and gold, for some of  
the richest men of this world were with- 
out money; and yet, I say, they were  
rich. In what were they rich then? you  
ask. In their great abundance of ready,  
sunny smiles; and to me that is far more 
satisfying than the best of royal crowns.  
To know that we have helped someone  
over a temporary discouragement brings  
greater happiness than pecuniary wealth.  

Do You Choose  
a Balanced Diet  
By  ETHEL EITEL  
The problem of nutrition is not pri- 
marily a problem of maintenance of life,  
but also the gaining and maintaining of a  
strong healthy body. There is a tendency,  
when choosing our food, to select the rich  
and highly seasoned foods.  
To develop a taste for plain whole- 
some food is a most valuable nutritional 
safeguard and should be fostered in every  
possible way.  
Mary Schwartz-Rose, professor of  
nutrition at Columbia university, says,  
"If the appetite is not 'up to' milk, vegeta- 
bles, and fruits well cooked, accompanied 
by good bread and butter, something is  
wrong with the mode of life, and the  
remedy is not highly seasoned foods."  
She also says, "What is needed is  to  
make eating 'the great indoor sport'."  
Most of us find it hard to select a well  
balanced meal in the present cafeteria  
system. Care must be taken not to choose  
our whole meal from the carbohydrate  
foods, the energy giving foods, such as  
cereals, potatoes, roast, bread, pastries,  
and puddings. If one-third of the total  
calories is secured from this group,  
emphasis should be placed upon the use  
of the grains, since otherwise the burden  
of furnishing minerals, vitamines, and  
laxative substances will fall too heavily  
on the rest of the diet.  
The total calorie portion for a student  
should range from 1600-2300 calories a  
day, while that of a person doing hard  
physical labor may run from 2800-5000  
calories a day.  
The next dietary essential is food that  
contains material for the development and  
maintenance of body structure. Protein, 
mineral constituents, and water come  
under this class. Protein in the daily  
diet is very necessary, as it is not stored  
in the body to be used when needed as  
other foods are, but must be supplied  
daily. It is the food which builds up the  
cells which are continually being  
destroyed and must be daily rebuilt. Eggs,  
cheese, milk, and nuts are of prime signi- 
ficance because of their protein yield.  
Vegetables and fruits give us minerals  
and vitamines C and D. Green vegetables,  
carrots, tomatoes, and citrus fruits are  
particularly valuable, and one or more  
should be included in the daily diet. At

••i•  

least fifteen to twenty percent of the  
total calories should come from an assort- 
ment of fruits and vegetables.  
Milk should never be excluded from the  
diet, as it contains the greatest assortment  
of nutritive substances of all single food  
materials and constitutes the foundation  
upon which the adequate diet can most  
safely be constructed. It contains cal- 
cium, phosphorus, vitamines, and other  
mineral elements. It is a good rule to  
drink at least a pint a day.  
Fats and oils in the form of butter,  
cream, and olive oil are important, and  
may contribute ten to fifteen percent of  
the total calories. The following is a  
dietary plan taking in the general dis- 
tribution of calories and vitamines:  
Per cent of total  
calories  
Cereal grains (bread, crack- 
ers, macaroni, rice, breakfast  
foods, etc.)  	 25%  
Milk  	 13%  
Vegetables (carrots, peas,  po- 
tatos, cabbage, lettuce, toma-  
toes, etc.) and fruits of all kinds  	 20%  
Fats and oils  	 (Butter,  	cream,  
oils, etc.)  	  17%  
Sugars and foods rich in sugar  
( jellies, jams, cakes, etc.)  	   10%  
Eggs, cheese, and legumes  	   15%  
Total  	 100%  
A  well balanced meal is an end to- 
ward fostering and promoting a healthy  
and vigorous body.  
The day in which we do not grow a  
little less resentful, in which we do not  
become a little more patient, tolerant and  
merciful toward others is a  lost day.

4  	 THE CLOCK TOWER  
"What's the idea?" asked one after an- 
other last week when posters and "eats"  
stands appeared around corners and on  
conspicuous spots, or when some small  
boy presented himself with candy to sell.  
Well, the idea is this: sacrifice week is  
coming. So the girls of North hall started  
early to get some money to give.  
Each corridor in North hall is com- 
posed of a separate band, each having a  
leader and secretary. These bands are  
working to raise their share for missions.  
Several of the groups made and sold  
candy, while others put up temporary  
booths and served sandwiches and cocoa.  
If you would like to see real Union  
spirit, step into the spread room some  
morning when the girls are getting some- 
thing ready to sell—"Say, do you think 
these sandwiches have enough filling in 
them?"  
"No, let's watch when we wrap them  
to see that the folks get their money's  
worth."  
"Who can help carry these boxes  
down?"  
"I can, and I will lend my lunch cloths,  
too."  
Then, too, in the Boys' club Wednes- 
day night everyone who whispered was  
fined a penny, and these pennies are to  
be turned in to the boys' sacrifice week  
fund.  
Merle Gotfredson presided over the first  
meeting of the junior class and a commit- 
tee was formed to nominate candidates  
for the offices of the class for the year.  
The chief activities of the class other  
than social are the staging of the junior  
play and of the junior-senior banquet. The  
sponsors for the year are Miss Day and  
Mr. Johnson.  
There is a movement in progress to  
establish a Girls' Reserve group in the  
College View high school. The secretary  
of the Lincoln high school group met with  
the College View high school girls and  
explained something of the aim and pro- 
cedure. The organization is a branch of  
the Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Beltz will spon- 
sor the College View section.  
The College View glee club, under the  
direction of Mrs. Hall Kendall, will pres- 
ent an operetta, "In India," as a part of  
their work for the semester. The date has  
not yet been definitely decided. The  
special parts as they have been cast are:  
Murah, Arlene Monaham; Samla, Carol  
Eddy; How Now, Theodosia Johnson;  
Veerah, Thelma Snyder. Other members  
of the Club will sing the chorus numbers.  
The monthly meeting of the Parent- 
Teachers' association was held in the high  
school auditorium, Tuesday at 7:45. The  
following program was presented: violin  
duet, Della Kramer and Lois Ogle; vocal  
solo, Mrs. Chas. Jones; talk,  - Citizenship"  
Judge E. B. Chappel; playet, by the mem- 
bers of junior English class, under direc- 
tion of Miss Buchanan. After the pro- 
gram refreshments of pumpkin pie and  
coffee were served in the library.  

Hi-School Notes  

THE POWER  HOUSE  
A new stoker has just been installed on  
boiler No. 3, which is working fine. This 
new stoker cost $1,700. The power house  
will start to generate electricity for the  
college some time this week. All the in- 
stallments have been made and the switch  
from the Iowa and Nebraska Power and  
Light Company will soon be changed to  
the power house generator. The engine  
room has been improved and painted. The  
walls are painted white and trimmed in  
black. A cement floor has been  put  in.  
New working and tool desks have been  
built. In taking an estimate of how much  
Coal the power house burns, it is found  
that about seven tons are used daily.  
Thirty carloads are received each year,  
each containing fifty tons. The total  
amount of coal burned yearly by the  
powerhouse is 1,500 tons.  
THE CRAFTSHOP  
An order of quilt-stretching frames has  
been received during the past week from  
Montgomery Ward  	 Company of  
Kansas City. Gold's Store of Lincoln  
has given an order for an immediate de- 
livery of juvenile chairs and tables. Busi- 
ness for the shop has been increased be- 
because of the Christmas season. The  
present number employed is ten.  

of dahlia purple....which they say is flat- 
tering  to both the blond and burnette.  
I really mustn't run on at length about  
dresses, although these changes  are na- 
turally of particular interest to  the girls,  
because Miller and Paine's  is a store of  
many departments, and carries articles to  
fill any need from the baby's rattle to  
house furnishings.  
By the way, see the complete formal  
dinner set of black china displayed on  
third floor. Black and white is really the  
latest thing in  dining room  furnishings,  
and the black china on a pure white da- 
mask cloth is very striking, to say the  
least.  
As I was passing the men's department  
on first floor I was attracted by a counter 
of white scarfs. Boys, black and white  
is not only good in dinner service, but it's  
all the rage for the well dressed young  
man. Dark suits, dark overcoat, and dark  
hat with a white muffler—say, that wins,  
and these scarfs—plain white or black and  
white combinations of silk crepe or satin..  
are exquisite. Oh, yes, and they also have  
some neat looking black hose with white  
or blue clocks for the collegiate appear- 
ance.  
The "import room" is fascinating, and  
just the place to find the unusual for gifts.  
Don't fail to see the "Liberty of London"  
scarfs and bags which Miller and Paine's  
import from this famous old house in Lon- 
don. You need never fear of their scarfs  
being out of style, as this house has never  
changed its patterns from the first days of  
its organization many years ago; the pat- 
terns are still in great demand. The little  
pressed leather bags with hand painted  
flower made by the London house are  
fresh in their individuality. Visit Miller  
and Paine's when you do your Christmas  
shopping.

FACULTY ENTERTAINED BY THE  
HOUSEWIFERY CLASS  
Flickering light from candles and a  
well appointed table greeted the distin- 
guished guests of the Housewifery class  
Sunday evening. A color scheme of  
yellow and white was carried out. The  
menu consisted of fruit cocktail, macaroni  
and cheese, mashed potatoes, Harvard  
beets, creamed Brussels sprouts, jelly,  
olives, tea rolls, perfection salad, Saratoga  
flakes, New York ice cream, and devil's 
food cake. The guests were Professors  
T. A. Little, Harold Dail, Vernon Dunn,  
D. Walther, T. R. Larimore, and Fred  
Sofsky. Miss Olson conducts the class  
in housewifery. Leola Castle, Glora  
Bruce, Velvah Smouse, and Marjorie  
Stevens were hostesses.  

Evelyn Jepson was the dinner guest of  
Gladys Nelson Sabbath.  
Mrs. George Stacey, formerly Mary  
McComas, has sent North hall $1.00  for  
the house fund.  
Mrs. J. C. Turner is staying in North  
hall for a few days before she leaves for  
South America.  
Miss Iva Whitacre, who had been  
staying at Mrs. Turner's home, has re- 
turned to the dormitory.  
LaVerne Johnson entertained at Sab- 
bath dinner Mr. and Mrs. Newell Nis- 
wonger and Mrs. Frasier.  
Mr. Hamlet Niswonger, who is work- 
ing in a Lincoln print shop, plans to at- 
tend Union college the second semester.  
The North hall girls are beginning in- 
tensive work on their program, "The  
Spirit of Union," which is to be given  
December 7.  
A French pussy willow is the most  
recent acquisition of North hall. This  
was given to North hall by Mr. and Mrs.  
H. B. Damon of Wichita, Kansas, who  
were here last week-end.  
Miss Esther Miller writes from Cham- 
berlain sanitarium, where she is working,  
that she is enjoying her work there very  
much, but with all her pleasure she still  
finds plenty of time to be lonesome for  
Olb Union and to wish she could be back  
this year. She is planning strongly on  
coming back some time. She declares THE  
CLOCK TOWER  is a welcome visitor each  
week.  
UNDON 9 g  
KUNZ-LAUE  
The marriage of Miss Helen Kunz and  
Mr. Calvin E. Laue, of San Antonio,  
Texas, took place at the home of the  
bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Kunz,  
625 East Eleventh Street, Houston,  
Texas, Saturday evening, November 9,  
at 8 o'clock with Pastor F. L. Perry,  
president of the South Texas conference,  
reading the service. Miss Dorothy Laue,  
sister of the groom, was bridesmaid and  
Mr. Aubrey Stautberg was best man. 
Miss Viah Cross played the bridal music,  
and Mrs. Irwin E. Taylor sang.  
The living room was attractively dec- 
orated with baskets of pink roses and  
ferns, and an arrangement of Southern  
smilax, ferns, and palms formed a back- 
ground for the bridal party. Pink rose  
shades softened the lights. The same  
colors were used in the dining room and  
were reflected in the refreshments which 
were served during the reception follow- 
ing the ceremony.  
The bride wore a powder blue satin  
gown, and carried bride's roses, and the  
bridesmaid wore blue georgette and  
carried pink carnations.  
Out-of-town guests were Mr. and Mrs.  
Walter Laue and family, Mr. and Mrs.  
S. C. Wagley and son, Mrs. W. C. So- 
rel], and Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Van Land- 
ingham, all of San Antonio. The couple  
will make their home in San Antonio, 
where Mr. Laue is in business.  
Academy Notes  
La Verne Johnson has been suffering  
from a painful boil on his forehead.  
Another contest between boys and girls!  
At the end of six weeks the side having  
the lower percentage of attendence at the  
Philomathian society will entertain the  
group having the higher percentage. The  
contest began November 20.  
The Latin I class has a spelidown once  
a week. Each student is keeping a graph  
that he may see his progress from week  
to week. These graphs are to be posted  
on the blackboard to show the student  
how he compares with the other members  
of the class.  
Exams again for the academy! Another  
week of sleepless nights in which each  
student has a sudden desire for much  
knowledge. It is a time in which there  
are many frantic, last-minute glances in  
books, hours of writing, and then anxious  
waiting to see what our teachers will  
"give" us for these last-minute efforts.  
A weekly feature of the Philomathian  
program is the reading of a biography of  
some member of the society. Marie  
Nelson will choose one person each week  
about whom she will write. The identity  
of the person is covered and members of  
the society are to guess. At the end of  
the six weeks the individual having  
guessed correctly the most number of  
names receives a prize. Ruth Nelson was  
the subject of the first sketch.  
Other features of the program last  
week were a piano solo by Clara Mont- 
gomery and two humorous songs by Pro- 
fessor Nesmith.

Certainly these new books will prove  
a benefit and a source of pleasure to the  
students of Union college. Bacon said  
that "some books are to be tasted, others  
to be swallowed, and some few to be  
chewed and digested."  
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SACRIFICE  
By E. W. WOLF  
If we as students realized how near  
Christ's coming is, what would be our  
relation to the week of sacrifice? Would  
we not all give more? Listen to God's  
Word through his servant:  
"I was pointed to the remnant on the  
earth. The angel said to them, 'Will ye  
shun the seven last plagues? Will ye go  
to glory, and enjoy all that God has pre- 
pared for those that love Him, and are  
willing to suffer for His sake? If so, ye  
must die that ye may live. Get ready,  
get ready. Ye must have a greater pre- 
paration than ye now have, for the day of  
the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath  
and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate,  
and to destroy the sinners thereof out of  
it. Sacrifice all to God. Lay all upon  
His altar—self, property, and all, a living  
sacrifice. It will take all to enter glory.  
Lay up for yourselves treasure in heaven,  
where no thief can approach or rust cor- 
rupt. Ye must be partakers of Christ's  
sufferings here, if ye would be partakers  
with Him of His glory hereafter.'  "—E.  
W. pp.  66, 67.  
Coming Champions

Improvements  
THE LAUNDRY  
The college laundry has recently  in- 
stalled  a new steam press, which is giving  
much satisfaction. It does better work  
than the old one in that it is more rapid  
in action. Business has increased in gen-
eral and is good. This is due to the big  
mangle, or roller, that does the flat work.  
Production is increased, thus handling  
more material. At present there are  
eighteen girls and two boys working  
in the laundry.  
THE PRINTSHOP  
A new 700 pound lead melting pot has  
recently been added for melting used lino- 
type slugs. Business is being rushed be- 
cause of the Christmas holidays. The  
present number employed is eighteen.  
General Improvements  
Weather strippings are being put on  
each of the windows of South hall and  
the main college building, at a cost  of  
$850. Mr. Jensen, of College View, Is  
supervising the job.

Patsy the Shopper  
BY MARION CHRISTMAN  
Every season sees some radical change  
of fashion -- either in hats, shoes, coats,  
or dresses. This winter brings back to  
us the graceful length in dresses, and a  
new, higher waistline, which produces a  
silhouette entrancingly different from any- 
thing we have had since the war. Some  
of these styles revert to the beautiful court  
fashions of the Princess, Victorian, and  
Directoire periods and are distinctly fem- 
inistic.  
Fashion decrees that the well-dressed  
young lady have her hemline at the most  
becoming length, but it must be four or  
five inches below the knee; however, the  
evening dress and afternoon frock is long- 
er, with either uneven or even hemline.  
Many of the evening formals shown by 
Miller and Paine's have the front hemline  
to the ankles and a full train in back.  
Girls, I wish you had all been shopping  
with me Friday! Miller and Paine are  
showing some darling afternoon frocks -- 
and at such reasonable prices, too, rang- 
ing from $25.00 to $37.50. I just wanted  
to walk off with several of them, and they  
were all so lovely I couldn't choose which  
was prettiest. I do remember one espe- 
cially -- a darling little Marigold flat 
crepe with knee flares and a plain bodice  
shirred down the front on a band to the  
waist. (You know the new waistline is  
slightly above the normal waistline and  
is really very becoming to the youthful  
figure.) Such adorable sleeves, too, shirr- 
ed into a long pointed cuff.  
Haven't you noticed the individuality  
expressed in sleeves this winter? The  
ducky little lace 'kerchief tucked in by a  
buttoned band just above the wrist lends  
charm to the tight fitted sleeve. Bows  
are especially good....at the elbow or the  
wrist to correspond with bows at the neck  
or waistline. Speaking of sleeves, North  
hall girls well be glad to know that fash- 
ion says that dainty puff sleeves in the  
evening dress are good.  
Color, too, is of interest. The outstand- 
ing shades being green, dahlia purple, and  
mahogany; with, of course, tans, browns,  
black, and white still prominent. Miller  
and Paine's store presents complete en- 
sembles in these enchanting new shades  

Mrs. Joshua Turner has been staying  
with Marguerite Clark since Friday. She 
will be Miss Clark's guest until she sails  
for South America.  
Anna Johnston recently returned to her  
home in Minneapolis preparatory to going  
to London with her parents, where her  
father will do evangelistic work.  
Two groups of singers, each consisting  
of eight men and eight women, are plan- 
ning to go out the first evening the  
weather permits to raise funds for the  
Harvest Ingathering campaign.  
The following are some of the students  
who are planning to spend Thanksgiving  
vacation out of town: Maude Maxwell,  
at Lincoln, Kansas; Ruth Wiest, at To- 
peka, Kansas; Edna, Floyd, and Francis 
Grcgerson, at Ute, Iowa; Gladys Nelson,  
at Exira, Iowa; John Starlin, at Fairbury,  
Nebraska; Mildred Keiser and Evelyn  
Busse, at Atlantic, Iowa; Walter Fore- 
man, Floyd Anderson, Wallace Nethery,  
Lawrence Johnston, and Dallas Strawn, at 
Nevada, Iowa; Frankie Dearborn and  
Beatrice Ross, at Valley Falls, Kansas;  
Florence Morey, at Nevada, Iowa; Elmer  
and Harvey Nelson, at Exira, Iowa;  
David Eickhoff, at Junction City, Kansas;

Carscallen, Vernon Dunn, and John  
Robinson, at Council Bluffs, Iowa.
