TURNERS WILL SAIL 
Two More Names Will Be Added to List 
of Unionites in South America 
To the list of those who have gone 
from Union to South America as mis-
sionaries two more names will soon be 
added. Professor and Mrs. J. C. Turner, 
both of the class of '26, have answered a 
call coming from the General conference 
for South America. They and their little 
daughter Margery will sail soon after De-
cember 15. 
Since graduating for Union college, 
Professor Turner has been a member of 
the faculty of Campion academy, Love-
land, Colorado. He taught Spanish and 
was in charge of the print shop for three 
years. Early in the fall of 1929 they came 
back to College View. She has been 
teaching the seventh and eighth grades in 
the Union college training school, and he 
has been attending the Nebraska Uni-
versity. 
In answer to the question, "Why are 
you going as a foreign missionary?" Pro-
fessor Turner said, "We realize that the 
need for evangelical workers in the 
foreign field is very great. We have 
been ready to answer the call to foreign 
missions, and now we are willing to go 
as workers in God's cause. I feel that 
the need in the particular field to which 
we are going is especially pressing." 
They will be located at Caracas, Vene-
zuela. Mr. Turner has studied this field 
for some time, and also has a good com-
mand of the language, as he has taught 
Spanish for three years. He feels that a 
knowledge of the language and of the 
country will be of advantage to him as a 
worker there. 
They will leave shortly for Missouri to 
visit relatives and friends before sailing 
for South America.

NORTH HALL GIRLS 
OBSERVE ARMISTICE 
Songs, Speeches, Readings, and 
Feature Numbers Comprise 
Patriotic Program 
The Young Women's club came to 
order Monday evening at 6:45 o'clock 
instead of Wednesday with Ellen Vogel 
presiding. The society was rather startled 
at the bugle call played by Joyce Hall 
just outside the door, but the flags of the 
allies hanging on the north wall recalled 
to the minds of the members that it was 
Armistice day. During the bugle call 
Jess Storrs, dressed in khaki, marched to 
the front of the room and stood at atten-
tion while America was played. 
President Vogel then brought to mind 
the meaning of Armistice day and why 
we celebrate November 11. "In Flan-
ders Fields" was read by Elinore Hahn. 
Some of the things which America felt 
as a result of the World 'War were men-
tioned by Beatrice Ross. She was assisted 
by Ada Williams, who played a few of 
the war-time songs at intervals during the 
speech. �
Following this was a string 
quartet by Misses Ada Townsend, Bon-
nie Velhagen, Hazel Kipp, and La Merne 
Walker, playing the national anthems of 
America, France, Great Britain, Russia, 
and Austria. 
Professor Dail, who was living in 
Switzerland at the time of the war, re-
lated the European idea of the condi-
tions during the late war. He said that 
only disabled, sickly, or old men were 
found on the streets of France, which 
were filthy because of lack of care. In 
his talk he presented a short history of 
war and the reason for it from the time 
of Lucifer In Heaven to the present time. 
He brought out and disproved what ad-
vocates of war claim, that war makes 
countries ei pand, promotes industries, and 
gives opportunity for men to have a he-
roic and splendid death. In disproving 
the first statement he said that the coun-
tries no lo (ger need to expand, as na-
tions already have more territory than 
they can adequately rule over. France 
alone disproves the fact that war pro-
motes industries, he declared, because its 
most prosperous years were before the 
war. Germany, Great Britain, and Amer-
ica, he stated, have recovered more rapid-
ly because the actual fighting did not take 
Place directly on their territory. As for 
bravery, he emphasized that the soldiers 
did what they were told, and thousands 
were killed when no special honor or re-
membrance on their part could be given. 
He concluded his remarks by saying that 
three things were accomplished in the 
war of 1914: Europe squandered one-
half its wealth, twelve million men were 
sacrificed, four empires were replaced 
with republics. �
After the critic's and 
sergeant-at-arm's reports, the meeting 
adjourned. 
ADAMS SPEAKS 
ON TEMPTATION 
Temptation, Trial, and Discipline 
are Three Different Things 
Declares Adams 
GOD TEMPTS NONE 
Jesus Developed Character As We Must, 
By Exercising Faith and Courage 
In Daily Trials 
"God tempteth no man, but we are 
drawn away of our own lusts," said Pro-
fessor W. L. Adams, educational secre-
tary of the Lake Union conference, Sab-
bath in the College View church. "Satan 
gives plenty of opportunities for us to 
do what we like to do. As God helped 
Jacob, so will He also keep us from the 
hour of temptation, because we have kept 
His Word. We are not as faithful in our 
Bible study as we should be, and there-
fore drop away. We should study for 
ourselves, living according to the instruc-
tions of the Word. From neglect we 
backslide gradually. The trying of our 
faith worketh patience. It is easier said 
than done to take all things patiently. 
We never know our strength until it is 
tested. But as expressed in Romans 5: 3, 
'tribulation worketh patience.' " 
"We should magnify the good that 
comes to us—not our troubles, although 
we are stronger for passing through 
troubles. Jesus Christ was crowned with 
glory and honor through suffering in 
which he partook with humanity. In 
Hebrews 2:5 the differences between 
temptations, trials, tribulations and chas-
tisements are pointed out. The law of 
compensation provides chastisement as a 
means for perfection of character."

For the first time in twenty years sav-
ings bank deposits have dropped. Dur-
ing the past year savings have diminished 
by $195,305,000, and the number of de-
positors by 524,221. 
Eight persons were killed through ac-
cidents and drowning, many were in-
jured and enormous property damage 
caused by a gale which lashed the British 
Isles and the surrounding seas. The 
winds blew at speeds of fifty to seventy 
miles an hour. 
In an effort to eliminate the negro from 
southern Republican politics, the senate 
committee began inquiry into reported 
plans to organize the southern Republi-
can council to "hold in line" the states of 
the Southland. 
Sir Ronald Lindsay, permanent under-
secretary of state of foreign affairs of 
England, has been appointed ambassador 
to the United States. This was viewed 
in high administration and diplomatic 
circles as a compliment to the United 
States government evidencing the impor-
tance the labor government of England 
attaches to Anglo-American relations. 
Shattering precedent and setting a new 
lively pace for official society, the sche-
dule of entertainments announced lately 
by President and Mrs. Hoover marks the 
beginning of a new era in the social his-
tory of the capital. The White House 
program includes for the first time a din-
ner in honor of the Vice President, 
doubles the number of receptions by 
dividing the Congressional reception to 
honor separately the Senate and House 
of Representatives, and adds three to be 
given in compliment to the six govern-
ment departments not previously honored. 
President Hoover paid the tribute of 
the nation at the tomb of the Unknown 
Soldier on Armistice day by laying a 
wreath of white chrysanthemums upon 
this hallowed place in Arlington cemetery. 
The president was accompanied to the 
cemetery by Mrs. Hoover, the Secretary 
of War and the Secretary of Navy. The 
ceremony was brief, simple and strictly 
in accordance with that custom established 
during the past years. The army band 
saluted Mr. Hoover as he entered the 
National amphitheater, and then played 
the "Star Spangled Banner." A presi-
dential salute of twenty-one guns was 
fired. 
Armistice day was ignored by the 
German public and passed without even 
newspaper comment, according to the As-
sociated Press dispatch. 
Great Britain virtually stood still for 
two minutes at 11 a. m. Armistice day 
in their annual observance of the armis-
tice. 
In an address at the Armistice day cele-
bration on Soldiers' Field at Chicago, 
Vice-president Curtis declared that the 
lesson of the World War was sufficient 
cause for permanent peace. He named 
the Kellogg Peace pact, the Locarno 
treaty and the London Naval Limitations 
conference as steps in this direction. 
The economic law to the effect that 
added units of the same goods increase 
the supply has been proved again. The 
unwritten law of Union that the girls de- 
feat the boys also holds good. �
The 
tradition was contested by the boys in 
THE CLOCK TOWER campaign that closed 
at eight p. m. Sunday, but it remains un-
changed. 
Fate of the tradition was contingent on 
the contents of a pasteboard box that 
apparently mystified the male warriors 
during the closing minutes. A box also 
was seen on the boys' side, and created 
a momentary depression among their op-
ponents. The difference in contents of 
the two boxes was 169 subscriptions, and 
the honor, personal pride, and entertain-
ment that is linked with winning the drive. 
Groups of strategists among the boys 
failed to be effective in encouraging the 
boys to turn in more subs. Fifteen min-
utes before the close of the campaign 
the boys took the lead with 402 subs 
against 330 for the girls. This relative 
lead was upheld up to the closing bell 
at eight o'clock, when Mrs. Burroughs, 
DEVOTED WORKERS 
ARE GREATEST NEED 
Professor Adams Sets High Ideals 
Before Students of Union 
in Call to Service 
Prof. W. L. Adams, educational sec-
retary of the S. D. A. Inter-American 
division conference, addressed the mis-
sionary volunteers Friday evening. As 
a basis of his remarks he used Matt. 
28:19: "Go ye therefore and teach all 
nations, baptizing them in the name of 
the Father, and of the Son and of the 
Holy Ghost." He stressed the great need 
for consecrated young people who are 
prepared. �
He said, "We need young 
people who are trained for leadership. 
We need a corps of young people who 
are ready and willing to go across the 
waters to preach the gospel and to bap-
tize the people." 
He told us of his proposed work in 
Inter-America, mentioning six schools 
located in this field. They are in Costa 
Rica, Porto Rico, Cuba, Haiti, Trinidad, 
and the Panama Canal zone. Prof. Adams 
further emphasized the great need for 
consecrated young people by saying that 
the school at the Panama Canal had to 
be closed a whole year because trained 
teachers were not available to carry on 
the work. 
He asked the missionary volunteers this 
question, "What definite place are you 
preparing for?" and added, "you young 
people should acquire a real training, 
develop initiative, and give yourselves 
whole-heartedly to the cause of truth. By 
thus preparing yourselves for the work 
and entering into it I hope soon to see 
the task of preaching the gospel com-
pleted.-

FUNERAL OF MOTHER HAMSHER 
To many former students of Union col-
lege and residents of College View the 
news of the death of Mother Hamshcr 
will bring sadness. The funeral services 
were held in the College View church, 
Sabbath, November 9, at 2:30 p. m. In 
spite of the rainy day, a large number of 
neighbors and friends gathered to pay 
their last respects to a faithful friend and 
an earnest Christian worker. The services 
were conducted by Pastor B. L. House 
assisted by Pastors R. T. Baer and H. U. 
Stevens. A mixed quartet provided the 
music. Interment was made in the College 
View cemetery.

I NEVER knew a night so black 
Light failed to follow in its track. 
I never knew a storm so gray 
It failed to have its clearing day. 
I never knew such bleak despair 
That there was not a rift somewhere. 
I never knew an hour so drear 
Love could not fill it full of cheer!

"Let none despise the day of small

Baseball games, marching, plate dinner 
a la bleachers and two violin selections 
by Professor Dail, accompanied by Miss 
Marcella Engel, were features of the fac-
ulty get-together Monday evening in the 
gymnasium. A contest led by Miss Hiatt 
with Professors Little and Schilling as 
leaders of opposing sides taxed the knowl-
edge of faculty members and, as one ex-
pressed it, "the answers required a great 
deal of research work and higher learn-
ing.- The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m. 
-Don't borrow trouble—the interest is 
too high."

JORGENSEN SPEAKS 
We take this opportunity to express our appreciation to 
the students of Old Union and to our loyal friends throughout 
the fieici for their whoie-hearted support, which has made THE 
CLOCK TOWER campaign of nineteen-twenty-nine the 
greatest in the paper's history. 
THE CLOCK TOWER BOARD. 
Lee Thomas, Circulation Manager. 
LAST CALL FOR SUBS 
Leaders of Campaign Seek Support of 
Students in Soliciting The City 
In chapel Friday a last appeal was 
made by leaders of both the girls and the 
boys to put THE CLOCK TOWER Sub-
scription campaign over. At the begin-
ning of the meeting the publishing asso-
ciation was called to order by Paul 
Bringle for a short business meeting in 
which the resignation of the editor-in-
chief, Jane Russel, was accepted. The 
staff and the entire student group gave 
a rising vote of appreciation of her work. 
Lee Thomas, Huldrich Humann, and 
A. K. Phillips spoke for the boys. Mr. 
Phillips, in a unique parody, appealed 
to the boys to break off the chains of 
precedent and show the girls that the 
boys could win a campaign if they de-
termined to do so. The hearty applause 
showed that he had the enthusiastic sup-
port of at least one side of the house. 
Fae Cowin and Mrs. Burroughs as-
sured the boys that the girls would not 
fail to keep up their record of winning 
campaigns. 
Professor Little told of some very ef-
fective ways of increasing the advertis-
ing in our paper. He stated that when 
every home in College View has a 
CLOCK TOWER, no Lincoln firm can afford 
not to advertise in our paper. He re-
minded us to read the advertisements and 
patronize our advertisers. 
Sunday night at eight o'clock was set 
as the close of the campaign. An appeal 
was made to make Friday afternoon and 
Sunday count. Every one left chapel 
anticipating Sunday evening when the 
final returns were brought in.

BOYS COMMEND RIVALS' WORK 
GIRLS AGAIN SHOW GRIT 
IN WINNING SUB CONTEST 
Most Successful Subscription Campaign in the History of 
School Paper Comes to End With Even the Losers 
Feeling Good; Total is 1088 New Ones 
the leader for the girls, removed the cover 
from the girls' box, thus adding seventy 
subs to their total number. 
The result, though crashing hopes of 
five weeks, brought no further alibi from 
the boys than "we didn't have enough 
subs.- A mighty cheer was created as 
the contest closed and news was flashed 
that the girls had won the campaign. 
Defeat as acknowledged by A. K. 
Phillips, leader of the boys, carried no 
remorse. He commended the gameness 
of the fellows, the sportsmanship of the 
girls, and thanked everyone for his co-
operation. Mrs. Burroughs, in expressing 
the attitude of the triumphant girls, ad-
mitted the race had been close, and thank-
ed them and their dean for the co-opera-
tion given. Perhaps more emphatic was 
the expression of their slogan, "If you 
want to see a thing well done, do it your-
selves—so we did it," 
The biggest campaign in the history of 
THE CLOCK TOWER—netting 566 subs for 
the girls, 472 for the boys, and fifty for 
THE CLOCK TOWER board, a total of 
1088, had been put over. 
Prof. T. A. Little, faculty adviser for 
THE CLOG K TOWER, in commenting on 
the success of the campaign, said he was 
impressed by the dignity that prevailed, 
and the amicable spirit that was main-
tained throughout the campaign. Con-
cerning the financial side, the contest is 
considered a great help to THE CLOCK 
TOWER. 
State winners are the Southwestern 
union girls, with an average of 4.8 subs, 
and the Kansas boys, with an average of 
4.18 subs. The prize for the winning 
states is the dedication of one issue of 
THE CLOCK TOWER to that state. The 
individual prizes will be announced later. 
The girls' state groups ranked as fol-
lows: Minnesota, 4.57; Kansas, 4.14; for-
eign (outside of Union college territory), 
4: Dakotas, 3.69; Iowa, 3.63; Colorado, 
3.47; Nebraska, 2.93. The boys' groups 
ranked as follows: Colorado, 3.47; Iowa, 
3.36; Minnesota, 2.87; Dakotas, 2.65; for-
eign, 2.27; Southwestern, 1.89; Nebraska, 
1.68. 
F. ZUMBAUM AND 
PRESTON SPEAK 
Salvation and Liberty Subjects Presented 
by Students in Seminar 
"Remember Lot's wife," Luke 17:32, 
was the text used by F. F. Zumbaum in 
his sermon at the Gospel Workers' sem-
inar Friday evening. He stated that it 
was looking back or backsliding that 
caused Lot's wife to be lost. He then 
made reference to how David and Peter 
backslid, but returned to God, proving 
that it is not impossible for the back-
slider to repent. He said, "God can take 
hold of us and lead us out of our worldly 
surroundings as the angels led Lot and 
his family out of the wicked city. But 
God will never force us into His king-
dom. We may flee for protection or we 
may return to Sodom. We may do our 
own choosing." 
Henry Preston, who gave the second 
sermon, based his remarks on the phrase 
"Set at liberty them that are bruised." 
He said, "The desire for liberty has been 
the cry of the ages. Some desire liberty 
from oppressive rulers, some from appe-
tite. some from creditors, some from sup-
posedly harsh parents, some from strict 
teachers and some from sin. A man might 
obtain liberty from all these except sin, 
by taking his life, but on the resurrection 
morning this man will awake to face the 
almighty judge with the guilt of his sin 
upon him. The only way to gain com-
plete liberty is by obeying the law of 
God, the perfect law of liberty."

"If you want it to rain, plan a hike or 
picnic," declared one of the girls Satur-
day night. Nebraska's changeable weather 
again necessitated a postponement of the 
annual fall hike, but the evening was 
spent by most of the students at a march 
in the gymnasium. The marchs were led 
by E. B. Ogden and Merrill Smith. 
Historical Events Leading Up To Signing 
Of The Armistice Are Reviewed by 
Professor Habenicbt 
Several of the teachers took part in the 
Armistice day program in chapel Mon-
day morning. After the song "America," 
Professor Habenicht gave a short his-
tory of the military operations in France 
leading up to the armistice, and of the 
provisions of the armistice itself. He told 
of the part the American troops had in 
checking the advance toward Paris and 
in bringing about the final outcome. 
Professor Jorgenson told of interesting 
incidents of life at Camp Lewis, where 
he was in training. Among other things, 
he told of being K. P., when he was first 
set to work. He also related some of 
the experiences of the company composed 
of conscientious objectors, or C. O.'s, as 
they were called. On one occasion, the 
boys were given their choice between 
twenty years in Leavenworth prison and 
working on the Sabbath. They stood 
firm for their convictions, and nothing 
came of the threat. 
A male quartet composed of James 
Meade, Caris Lauda, Richard Gibson, and 
Alten Bringle, sang "Keep the Home 
Fires Burning," and everyone joined in 
singing "The Star Spangled Banner." 
The last speaker was Professor Hahn, 
who spoke on "What the Armistice 
Meant to America." He described the 
demonstrations that followed the breaking 
of the news of the armistice at Camp 
Funston, showing what it meant to the 
soldiers in training. "To the fathers and 
mothers of America," said Mr. Hahn, 
"the 1r,riiFtice rsioar. �bc,,s were 
coming home; to the ordinary home it 
meant that they could again use white 
flour and sugar, and to industry it meant 
a tremedous problem." He pointed out 
that the economic distress of 1921 was an 
aftermath of the effort of American in-
dustry to assimilate and make room for 
four million men returning to work. In 
summing up what the armistice meant to 
America, Mr. Hahn said that he believed 
the greatest thing that was accomplished 
was the bringing of peace to the world.

MEN'S CLUB HAS 
ETIQUETTE THEME 
Extemporaneous Speeches on Courtesy 
Given by Four Young Men 
"Courtesy is an expression of beauty 
and of character," said Harold Lincoln in 
his talk on "Little Courtesies of Life." 
Thursday in the meeting of the South 
hall club. He continued saying that our 
contact with men and women every day 
gives us an opportunity to express this 
beauty. He also said that these little 
acts of courtesy in daily life will enrich 
one's personality. Mr. Lincoln then gave 
some of the rules which should be ob-
served by every courteous gentleman or 
lady on the streets and in public gath-
erings. One of the nicest qualities that 
an individual may possess, he said, is 
the ability to express little courtesies and 
overlook rudeness. 
-Be courteous to 
everyone and you will attract courtesy," 
he said in closing. 
Other features of this program were 
extemporaneous speeches by Bert Mc-
Broom, Wilbur Essig, Emil Fick, and 
Canis Lauda. 
In conclusion the North hall quartet 
rendered two numbers.

QUESTION 
Should Union college have a skating 
rink on the campus, and if so where and 
how could it be constructed and kept up? 
ANSWERS 
There is no kind of sport quite so in-
vigorating and wholesome as skating; 
'therefore, I think Union college should 
have a skating rink. The pond could be 
located just south of the gymnasium and 
could be flooded with the water from the 
swimming pool. Union college students 
can do things and they can build a skat-
ing pond if a plan were presented. Tickets 
could be issued to those who have the 
right to use the pond and in this way 
take care of the problem of everyone 
using it.—VERD NELL RICE. 
0 �
 
Wouldn't it be fun to have a skating 
pond on the campus? I think a good lo-
cation would be back of North hall. 
Maybe some trees would have to be taken 
out. That place is rather low and if the 
east side were banked up and the place 
flooded, I don't think other construction 
would be necessary. The gymnasium 
was built by student labor and if the stu-
dents want a pool badly enough, they 
will volunteer their services. Operation 
should be under the control of the deans 
and I'm sure that any arrangement they 
make would be satisfactory to the stu-
dents.—ELINORE C. HAHN. 
DON'T QUIT 
"When things go wrong, as they some-
times will, 
When the road you are trudging seems 
all up hill, 
When the funds are low and the debts 
are high, 
And you want to smile, but you have 
to sigh, 
When care is pressing you down a bit, 
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit. 
Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, 
And you can never tell how close you are, 
It may be near when it seems afar; 
So stick to the fight when you're hardest 
hit— 
It's when things seem worst that you 
mustn't quit."

I think that plans should be started 
immediately for the construction of a 
skating pond on the campus. There are, 
however, several problems to be worked 
out in the construction and operation of 
such a rink. First, the ground must be 
prepared so that a good ice or earth 
foundation for the pond be secured. Sec-
ond, the upkeep of such a pond should 
be carefully supervised by a committee. 
I would suggest that a small fee be 
charged those who use the pond. The 
boys could be given hour time for the 
upkeep of the rink. Third, this committee 
should formulate a plan for the use of the 
pond by those who are not students in 
the college.—A STUDENT.

Since exercise is recommended as an 
asset to health, I believe that provision 
should be made for a skating pond on 
our campus, in order that Union college 
students may be more healthy. I suggest 
that a rink be constructed on the lot east 
of the Normal building, and be kept in 
condition by certain people appointed by 
the students. The first expense of build-
ing the pond may be taken care of by 
contributions of those interested and. fees 
of those who will later use the rink—a 
plan similar to the one used by the tennis 
association. I think that there are enough 
student's interested who would be glad 
to give their time and labor if permission 
were granted.—FAE COWIN.

Verne Waldo Thompson, who was 
head of the music department of Union 
college last year, is now director of the 
Punahou Music school at Honolulu, 
Hawaii. 
The following are some extracts from 
Mr. and Mrs. Thompson's letters to 
Marion Christmann and Katherine Lutz. 
"I was certainly glad to have a word 
from 'my' College. 
"My work at the Punahou Music 
school has kept me very busily occupied 
since I arrived. The music school is one 
department of the Punahou school and 
has its own building and lovely studios, 
all furnished with grand pianos. 
have a large class of very interest-
ing pupils. Some of the other piano 
teachers in the school are studying with 
with me also. 
"My year at Union was a line experi-
ence and I would not take anything for 
the lovely memories I have of you folks 
and the many others who were so nice to 
us. I feel that I must make a big suc-
cess of my work wherever I am, because 
I have so many wonderful friends back-
me also. 
Mr. Thompson has just lately accom-
panied Madame Tornake Miura, the 
World's Greatest Madame Butterfly, who 
told her manager that Mr. Thompson was 
one of the very best pianists she had ever 
appeared with. He also accompanied 
Catherine Lewers Wall in her concert 
in Honolulu. 
The Punahou Music school, with Mr. 
Thompson as director, gives concerts 
over station KGU every Sunday evening 
from six-thirty to seven o'clock. 
Miss Helen Hunter writes that she and 
Miss Violet Rasmussen are "hoping like 
everything to return the second semester, 
and I believe we can. We are very 
much interested in everything that hap-
pens there." 
Miss Nellie Wetzel, writing from her 
home in Jefferson City, Missouri, says, 
"I am sorry that I cannot return next 
semester; however, I plan to continue 
going to school here. I'm anxious to see 
THE CLOCK TOWER'S new heading. Do 
not think I don't read that paper from 
cover to cover, for I do." 
"I enjoy THE CLOCK TOWER, for I love 
Union and the principles which she en-
dorses," writes Miss Pearl Pride, of 
Wichita, Kansas. "I am attending the 
Municipal university here and expect to 
graduate this spring." 
Miss Mable 13roderson. returned mis-
sionary from India, who attended Union 
last year, is enjoying her work as teacher 
of the church school in her home town, 
Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. "I hope that 
God will continue to bless Union college 
this year," she writes.

Or whatever it

That's as much a part 
Of the worship 
As the notices 
Or the whispering 
During prayer 
I was wondering 
If folks know

Or when they

White Slip 
Reactions 
Disappointment, despair, grief, deter-
mination, satisfaction, and pleasure were 
some of the emotions registered on the 
faces of those who were seen coming out 
of the registrar's office with their mid-
semester grade slips, following chapel 
Monday. In mingling with the group 
who were waiting in line to receive their 
grades, one could sense an atmosphere of 
suspense that has been exceeded by noth-
ing lately except that of awaiting cam-
paign results. 
Some teachers were kind enough to 
prepare the students for the ordeal by 
the warning that they had a very scanty 
supply of A's to pass out. Others felt 
it might be better to wait and let the pain 
come afterward rather than begin be-
forehand, as warning would only extend 
the period of suffering. They worked on 
the same principle as the dentist does who 
pulls your tooth quickly instead of taking 
his time about it. 
It has been said that our motive power 
lies in what we have not yet attained, 
and reasoning from that viewpoint, many 
of the students should be overflowing with 
motive power. However, some very few 
have not yet learned this secret, and for 
this reason the student who "crabs" about 
his grade is, like the poor, always with us. 
This little routine we go through twice 
a semester is not without its pleasant 
side, as evinced by that always-present 
minority who seem for some inexplic-
able reason to get real enjoyment out of 
the contemplation of those little slips of 
paper. That group is not composed ex-
clusively of A-grade students, for any 
grade which represents hard, faithful 
work seems in public opinion to be run-
ning a little above the rating of the A 
which came too easily.—A STUDENT. 
o— 
There are in my mind three general 
types of students who appear every so 
often at the registrar's office for grades. 
The first group is made up of those good 
people who receive the little white slip 
with the look of some satisfaction born 
of the foreknowledge that only A's could 
possibly be their lot, and whose eyes fill 
with tears of shame and mortification at 
the sight of a B. 
Some few invariably receive the bit 
of paper with an inward groan and a 
"Just as I expected," and saunter off with 
as unconcerned an air as they can muster. 
Then there are those who are always 
tremendously overwhelmed by the teach-
ers' generosity—usually a small group. 
FERRYL GARVIN. 
0— 
Almost everyone tries to assume an air 
of careless contempt toward his grades—
openly. Apparently everyone is happy 
regardless of grades—good, bad, or indif-
ferent. After leaving the registrar's office 
and catching a glimpse of the grade list 
for oneself, one can see small groups of 
two or three huddled about small slips 
of paper, recussing, percussing, and dis-
cussing them. 
One asks, "Whadja On Zoology?" 
"B" (very solemnly) "I'm tellin' you, 
I've got to git down and dig to keep it 
there!" 
Another student says, "Well, my major 
is English, so Professor Little gave me 
a D in 'Renaissance,' " 
Some don't say much, but the gleam 
of victory in their eyes is sufficient to 
tell the marks on the slips.—A. STUDENT.

Old Glory Floats 
in the High Mists 
Dear Elsa: 
I'm looking out the window in Bible 
doctrines classroom and I see something 
that thrills me. It is Old Glory on our 
flag pole. But what really thrills me is 
that it is only visible through a mist. And 
the reason that it thrills me is that I think 
back how another person looked out to 
see the flag through mist and smoke and 
wrote: 
-0 say, can you see by the dawn's early 
light 
What so proudly we hailed at the twi-
light's last gleaming; 
Whose broad stripes and bright stars 
through the perilous night 
O'er the ramparts we watched were so 
gallantly streaming; 
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs 
bursting in air, 
Gave proof through the night that our 
flag was still there; 
O say, does that star-spangled banner 
still wave 
O'er the land of the free and the home 
of the brave?" 
And it gives me a tight, funny, achey 
feeling to see It there just as he saw it. 
So I wrote this: 
It's nothing but a piece of cloth 
That's waving in the air—
It's just a cloth of colors three 
So gently rolling there. 
Its simple white is purity, 
Its red stands for the brave, 
Its blue stands for the kind of men 
Who fought our bonds to stave. 
But there it waves between the mists 
And there it tosses free— 
The flag that cheered the noble men 
Who fought for you and me. 
0 well,—I just had another spasm. 
Love, 
ADA. 
Guess Who? 
The life of a nomad has been that of 
one of our esteemed faculty members. His 
ancestors were Pennsylvania Dutch and 
were among the early settlers of our 
country. He was born in the little town 
of Bethlehem, which is nestled in the Blue 
Ridge mountains of eastern Pennsylvania 
—"the prettiest spot in the United 
States," he declares. When six years old 
he, with his parents, moved to the old 
country. From this time dates his wan-
derings, extending until 1922, when he 
settled at Union college. His life has 
been divided between the two continents, 
Europe and America, having spent most 
of the time in the latter. During his six-
year stay in Europe he lived in Ham-
burg (where he played with Professor 
Dail), Breslau, Nuremburg, and Frank-
furt, Germany. Since then he has moved 
every two years at least, and sometimes 
oftener. 
The thing, he stated, which he remem-
bers most about the return voyage is that 
he and his brothers had ice-cream for the 
first time in six years, and "we ate until 
our heads nearly split." 
He stated that his life has been hum-
drum and ordinary. Like most preacher's 
sons he canvassed his four years through 
I 
LONG'S 
College Book Store 
Opposite 
The University Campus 
college at Berrien Springs and Clinton 
seminary. Marriage he declared to be the 
most outstanding event of his life. 
When only a boy he was impressed by 
his father's large library, and spent many 
of his leisure hours in reading, which is 
still his favorite pastime. He also has an 
insatiable desire for candy. In his youth-
ful days he hoped to become a scientist, 
and he expresses a secret desire to be-
come one yet. 
INFLUENCE 
As a pebble dropped into the water 
Sends its waves out more and more, 
In an ever-widening circle, 
Till they reach the other shore; 
So a deed, a word, an action, 
Dropped upon the sea of life, 
Sends a blessing, or a cursing, 
In this world of sin and strife. 
As a cloud is changed at even 
When the sun is sinking low, 
From its blackness into beauty, 
And reflects a pleasant glow; 
So a life, though dark and ugly, 
Through God's Word grows pure and 
And reflects to all about it 
Hidden treasure from the Light.

EDITORIAL INTERRUPTIONS 
Jane Russell, because of illness, has been forced to resign her position as Editor-
in-chief of THE CLOCK TOWER. This resignation makes the first break in the nine-
teen-twenty-nine board. It is with sincere regret that THE CLOCK TOWER board 
and the entire student body say forewell to Miss Russell, for she has been not only 
a faithful and efficient editor but a loyal student of Union college. 
Miss Russell came to Union from Des Moines, Iowa, where she was graduated 
from the Lincoln high school, with the class of '28. While a senior in high school 
she was editor-in-chief of the Railsplitter, the school paper of the Lincoln high 
school. During Miss Russell's editorship of the Railsplitter it won the prize as the 
best high school paper in Iowa. 
It is hoped that Miss Russell will have a speedy recovery from the operation, 
which forced her to leave school, and will be able to return to Union the second 
semester. �

ON THE BALANCED LIFE 
There are certain responsibilities that we are eager to meet, others that we are 
asked to meet, and some that we may definitely avoid, but there is one which in-
cludes all—and that is living. This term includes more than any one man or woman 
is able to comprehend, but we all have some conception of living and a part to play 
in it. As various circumstances arise everyone is led to consider just what is the best 
way to live and by what means that ideal can be attained. 
I believe that one vital factor in obtaining, at least to some degree, an enjoyable 
existence, is the finding and maintaining of the proper ratio of things. I think the 
emphasis we place on the di.ferent things in life will determine character and hap-
piness. 
The individual who spends all of his time studying, permitting no time for 
social life, is likely to become one sided, as is the man who is so engrossed in busi-
ness that he has no time for study or religious life. Many people have studied along 
one line until everything that they think about or deal with must be fitted into their 
particular groove before it means anything to them, and thus they are deprived of 
the fullness of living that otherwise might be theirs. To be able to catch all the 
beauty and joy of life one has to pick it up from every angle. 
While the development of all phases of life in perfect balance is largely an 
ideal; it is like all ideals, worthy of our contemplation and endeavour. No good 
thing is obtained without effort, and usually the greater the effort the greater the 
value. �

11 Union of Thoughts 
Our orchestra plays 
Some grand music 
To begin the 
Service 
You'd pay money 
To hear it 
In a concert 
And you'd sit on a hard seat 
All evening 
And think you were 
Having a good time 
But when it's free 
You won't even 
Sit on a 
Nice seat 
To hear it 
And the orchestra 
Must feel lonely 
Too 
Spend so much time 
Practicing 
And then have people 
Not pay 
As much attention as if 
It were 
A hurdy-gurdy 
I was wondering 
If It were 
Quite fair.

Keep Religious 
Homefires Burning 
By HAROLD LINCOLN 
"Keep the Home Fires Burning." We 
all remember this slogan during the last 
great war. It was adopted to cheer our 
boys who were across the seas in a 
strange land. We wanted to encour-
age them to do their best in a cause we 
thought was right. If you remember, 
there was good co-operation on the part 
of every loyal citizen. Even the people 
who were not directly concerned, 
,who did not have any of their own rela-
tives in the firing line, took an active part. 
But what has all this to do with us now? 
We are not experiencing a war. We 
have most of our soldiers home and our 
nation is at peace. It is true our nation 
is at peace but the fight is on for our 
Christian young people. Many of them 
are away from home in our schools seek-
ing a Christian education. It is a real 
fight for many to remain because either 
finances lack or courage wanes. �
On 
these two points lie the golden oppor-
tunity for friends and parents to demon-
strate to the world their spirit of co-
operation in a cause which they believe 
is the most noble, the most worthy of 
their support. Where can we find a 
more noble cause than in the education of 
our Christian youth? �
You are doing 
God's will when you lend a hand or 
give a word of encouragement to a stu-
dent preparing for God's work. 
Parents and friends, the world is of-
fering to the young people many allure-
ments—it is so radiant. The bright lights 
of pleasure seeking and sin are blinding 
many of our youth and they go stumbling 
to the world, and are eventually con-
sumed. "What can we do to prevent 
this?" you ask. I am not sure I have the 
solution, but I think this will help. You, 
parents and friends, can keep your home 
fires burning with a bright cheerful flame. 
You can write a few words of courage 
to the students who are striving to pre-
pare for a place in God's cause. You 
will be doing a noble work. Let us show 
to the young people the spirit of cour-
age and co-operation characteristic of the 
world war.

From Messenger of November, 1924 
An interesting wedding was solemnized 
in the South Denver church on November 
12, 1924, when Miss Beth Jones became 
the bride of Mr.. Verner Anderson. Miss 
Fern Thompson was maid of honor and 
Mr. Clifford Keller was best man. Mr. 
Anderson was the president of the Union 
senior class of 1924 and is connected with 
the work in the Iowa conference. 
On November 19, 1924, the Girls' club 
met in their regular weekly meeting and 
were entertained by a debate. The sub-
ject was, -Resolved, That examinations 
should be abolished in Union college." 
Miss Hinkhouse, Miss Hanen, and Miss 
Buck held forth for the affirmative side 
while the negative was ably defended by 
Miss Bergerson, Miss Hendricks and 
Miss Cornell. The report of that meet-
ing records that the judges spent consi-
derable time in deliberation before com-
ing to a decision, but that the negative 
side was finally judged the winner. 
The subscription campaign of 1924 was 
won by the Dakota band. The Missouri 
band was a close second. Four hundred 
new subscriptions were received.

DON'T YOU KNOW 
Don't you know 
This old world we're livin' in 
Is mighty blue and cold at times? 
But when the clouds are gone, and 
The sun is shinin' again, 
Ain't it warm and alive; 
Ain't it great to be livin'. 
Don't you know 
It's mighty hard to be 
Brave, true, and strong 
When the sun is under a cloud, 
When your sunshine is gone 
And the warmth falls by the way? 
But— 
Don't you know 
It's a great world after all 
To be brave to face the things, 
The storm clouds, black and heavy? 
In our path they seem hopeless to pass, 
But after youv'e done it, 
After the storm has passed 
Sunshine comes again, and say, 
Ain't this old world grand and real 
To be livin' in? 
—HAROLD G. LINCOLN. 
lead his former disciples into the precious 
truth. When he arose among them and 
delivered a powerful testimony for the 
truth, they became angry and beat him. 
A friend advised him to try again. So he 
prepared a great feast and invited all of 
his former disciples and again witnessed 
for the truth. He hoped that they would 
be more friendly after sharing his hospi-
tality. Again they arose and beat him 
most unmercifully. He then departed from 
them and established his home with those 
who have obtained peace by worshiping 
the true God and keeping His command-
ments. He rejoices because he has been 
accounted worthy to suffer for that dear 
name, Jesus, which has brought peace to 
his soul. �A. G. YOUNGBERG.

WHAT THE FEDERAL BUREAU 
OF EDUCATION SAYS 
Thousands of college students have 
been busy this summer during their vaca-
tion period, in direct selling and other 
lines of work, earning money to help 
carry them through the coining fall and 
winter terms, according to a report re-
cently made by the federal bureau of edu-
cation, following its completion of a study 
of methods by which students pay their 
own way through college. 
Direct selling companies report that 
more high school pupils, who plan to 
enter college this autumn, and a larger 
number of college students than ever be-
fore have been engaged in selling this 
summer. 
In Lincoln's day, the report says, an 
ambitious youth would have thought him-
self fortunate if he could have obtained 
board and lodging for doing all kinds of 
work around the farm, or town house, 
and he wouldn't have expected any cash, 
if only he could have a place to stay 
while attending college. In vacation 
periods they would have been glad to 
take any kind of labor on farm or in 
town, to earn enough to tide them 
through the approaching school year. 
Times have changed, and today, ac-
cording to the survey of the bureau of 
education, any energetic youth can earn 
$700 or even $1,000 a year. Another 
marked advantage not known in earlier 
years is that girls today have practically 
as many opportunities for earning during 
vacation time as have the young men. 
Fifty years ago a girl college student was 
a rarity, and was looked upon with 
curiosity. Also at that time there was 
practically nothing that a girl could do to 
earn money. How different it is today, 
when girls go out and sell and enter other 
lines of work, making as great a success 
at it as do the young men.

Have you ever been a host or hostess 
at a table where no one said anything 
throughout the whole meal except, "Pass 
the salt, please''? If so, didn't you feel 
like an absolute failure as a conversa-
tionalist? 
Of course, there are times when we 
can't talk—not even about ourselves. But 
even so, it is queer that every person at 
the table should be smitten at the same 
time. 
Some people feel that the host and 
hostess should be responsible for intro-
ducing and furthering conversation, but

thankful that I am a church school teach-
er. We have a new school building here 
and such a fine group of children. I just 
love every one of them. This is a Ger-
man church out in the country. They 
have the nicest church building in the 
state and a Sabbath school membership 
of about one hundred twenty. I'm sure 
this is where the Lord wants me this 
year.- 
HOW TO SAVE TIME 
"The Bible gives no endorsement to 
Idleness. It is tbc greatest curse that 
afflicts our world. Every man and wo-
man who is truly converted will be a 
diligent worker. �
Upon the right im- 
provement of our time depends our suc-
cess in acquiring knowledge and mental 
culture." 
The Fireside Correspondence school 
has given several general principles which 
might serve as valuable guides to those 
who desire to make their time count for 
the most. These principles are as fol-
lows: 
First, don't hesitate. Start. Stop. Then 
begin again. 
Second, do the nearest job. 
Third, don't pause between jobs. 
Fourth, don't skip about. Time is used 
up in changing your mind. 
Fifth, think while working. Have a 
plan, and keep your mind on the job. 
Sixth, do things but once and do them 
well the first time. 
President Eliot of Harvard said that 
fifteen minutes spent every day in read-
ing will make a person educated.

Hindu in Search 
of Truth Rewarded 
A Hindu Brahman priest in northwest 
India had dedicated his life to a quest for 
truth. He sought by the works, dictated 
by his religion, to gain spiritual peace and 
happiness. Accordingly he spent his for-
tune in erecting a great temple where he 
led his two hundred disciples in worship, 
but this brought no peace to his soul. 
He, therefore, went to Delhi and at the 
Great Mosque studied the Mohammedan 
religion. The worship of the false 
prophet and the incantation of Arabic 
prayers gave his distressed soul no rest. 
He then went to Ceylon, south of India, 
and studied the Buddhist religion, but the 
filthy purple dressed monks with their 
prayer wheels and flags could not give 
him that which they did not possess. 
Finally, he decided to give up the quest 
and set out upon his long homeward 
journey. 
While passing through Lucknow on his 
way into northwest India, he heard of a 
people who had peace and happiness in 
the worship of the true God. He was in-
formed that they had their headquarters 
in that very city. Upon knocking at the 
door of our mission bungalow, he was 
met by missionary Belgrave, who invited 
the weary traveller in and for several 
months watered his thirsty soul with the 
truths of the message. The weary "seeker 
for truth" said again and again, "Praise 
God! I have found it at last." He ex-
pressed a wish for baptism and after the 
administration of the sacred rite returned 
to his home and temple. He hoped to 
to condemn them for timidity, oh! no, but 
just to help them to get over it—well, if 
you had one of these habitually quite 
girls for hostess and you tried every way 
you could think of to start some sort of 
conversation, you would oftentimes be 
stamped as an individual who is con-
tinually monopolizing the right to express 
opinions. 
But what shall we talk about? you ask. 
The weather is a long since trite topic, 
but let me tell you that it is by no means 
a dry subject to expostulate upon—in Ne-
braska. 
Why not read up on a few interesting 
current events? Not murders and divorce 
cases, but for instance Byrd's adventures 
in Little America, Hoover and the Senate, 
and latest advances in aeronautics. You 
will not regret reading parts of the -Spice 
of Life" when the conversation gets too

J. E, JEWELL SPEAKS 
The Christian Record Publishing as-
sociation opened its doors November 14 
at eight o'clock for the official house 
opening following an extensive remodel-
ling and building program. A program 
was given in the assembly room on first 
floor. J. E. Jewel, supervisor of the Ne-
braska State Civilian Vocational Reha-
bilitation society for the blind in Nebras-
ka, delivered an address. D . D. Rees, 
manager of the Christian Record, spoke. 
Professor Engel's orchestra and the 
Humann Brothers' quartet furnished the 
music. Miss Hiatt gave several readings. 
The .Christian Record Publishing as-
sociation publishes two magazines for tl 
blind, The Christian Record and The

zines are printed in embossed letters in 
the two systems, the New York point and 
the American Revised Braille.

A PSALM OF STRIFE 
(With apologies to Longfellow.) 
"Lives of bad men all remind us 
That our lives are likewise bad; 
That our faults that hold and bind us 
Are the same as those they had. 
Faults when seen in erring brothers 
To ourselves seem dark with wrong. 
Wicked things seem worse in others 
Than if they to us belong. 
Let us love our fellow creatures; 
When we start to criticise 
We but show our fiendish features 
Plain enough to others' eyes." 
-Genius is the infinite art of taking 
pains."

Mrs. N. W. Brewer spent the week-
end with her daughter Thelma. 
Rumors have been heard of students 
who are enthusiastically busy on Prohi-
bition speeches or essays. In addition, the 
topic of prohibition has not failed to 
create material for table arguments. 
Claude Gordon, a former student ol 
Union college, visited his friend, Theo-
dore Howard, this week end. He is 
studying sociology at the University of 
Nebraska. 
Work is progressing on the room being 
Partitioned off for the bottling of milk.

Clyde Bushnell. A. A. Miller visited the 
Cortland church. 
Mr. Storing reports that the church at 
Fremont has been entirely refinished in-
side, and the work on the outside is pro-
gressing nicely. 
ADAMS VISITS ON WAY TO 
INTER-AMERICA 
Pastor W. L. Adams, former educa-
tional secretary of the Lake Union con-
ference, arrived Friday to join his wife, 
who has been visiting their daughter 
Chloe the past two weeks, before leaving 
for Balhoa, Canal Zone, where he will 
take over the educational work of the 
Inter-American division. 
Elder Adams accepted this position at 
the last fall council, and plans as he 
stated Friday night to enlarge and organ-
ize the educational work there. So that 
the present six academies will be followed 
by colleges which they do not have at 
present. He emphasized also the size of 
the field, which is long enough to extend 
from San Francisco to New York and 
back again to the Mississippi river. 
"The cure for fear is faith." 
"Success is born of resolution... 
"Self-respect is the corner stone of all 
virtues." 
--0-- - 
"One-way minds, like one-way streets, 
are often closed for repairs." 
"The only way for some people to 
say nothing is to tell just what they 
think." 
"Seven days of self-indulgence make 
one W-E-A-K." 
"Don't get down on a subject simply 
because you are not up on it." 
"The gods we worship are mirrored 
in our faces." 
No, youth of today do not have super-
skeptical minds, but because of the trend 
of modern philosophy the student is ac-
customed to call forth evidences to verify 
every conclusion. In the field of educa-
tional psychology statistics are now 
gathered in support of nearly every 
theory advanced. In biology thorough 
investigation and observation precedes 
any conclusion, as does careful experi-
mentation in the fields of chemistry, agri-
culture or domestic science. In the field 
of physics a person forms from observa-
tion of physical phenomena general con-
clusions in regard to what will happen at 
all times under like circumstances. These 
he terms "law of nature.- On the other 
hand he may deduce by means of these 
so-called laws the phenomena which 
would produce the desired observation. 
But no such reasoning is accepted with-
out being proved by experimentation. 
Likewise in one's Christian thinking, it is 
experiment which proves its value. The 
statement made by Mrs. E. G. White 
that one in twenty have an accurate 
knowledge of what experimental religion 
is sometimes seems vague in meaning, 
but only that religion which can be lived 
is of value. It is not doctrine alone which 
uplifts a man, but the effect which doc-
trine has upon his daily life. Only can 
we fully be convinced of the absolute 
trustworthiness of denominational doc-
trines taught in the Bible as they are 
proved by good produced in our lives. 
Many times we fail to see this exemplifi-
cation in the lives of others, but when 
this is true we may know that in some de-
tail the person has not fully followed the 
Guide Book—his laboratory manual. It 
is then the only fair and safe thing care-
fully and prayerfully to test each doctrine 
in the laboratory of human life to see 
whether the desired observations are pro-
duced. 
On the other hand, problems arise in 
one's life upon which he has very little 
if any data to predict the results of fol-
lowing a given course. He then observes 
CLASSIFY YOURSELF 
Some folks are like skyrockets. They 
make a brilliant display—while they last. 
Other folks are like a torch. There is 
nothing particularly brilliant about them, 
but they may be depended upon to shine 
steadily. They have lasting qualities. 
the behavior of the phenomena with its 
results; he finds whether in following such 
a course he can hold that deepest of com-
munions with his God,—whether he can 
get the observations which he wishes 
from the specific experiment. The big 
difficulty here involved is the matter of a 
measuring standard. This is two-fold, 
that of the standards by which one evalu-
ates the circumstance or actions and those 
which are held of the ideal state of Chris-
tian living. 
To the person who has not fully 
realized the joys of the Christain life 
there is no way of determining whether 
his standard of living is on the highest 
plane. He may feel that he has the best 
of experiences, and that is perfection to 
him, yet he may need to grow in his con-
ception of what such a life may be. Be-
cause of this improper conception it may 
be possible for him to do things which 
others could not do without breaking the 
Divine connection. Also one person may 
be experiencing as deep an experience as 
another, yet due to different training his 
conceptions of right and wrong may be 
much different. It may be impossible for 
one person to do things common to his 
Christian associates, for his standard of 
measurement, his conscience, is much dif-
ferent. 
But according to the standards we in-
dividually have, within the limits of ex-
perimental error it is possible for each 
man to determine whether a certain action 
is in harmony with Christian conduct or 
not. We must, however, remember that 
there are variations in our standards from 
those of the divine, and that errors may 
creep in; so on those points where we 
have a "thus saith the Lord" it is best to 
follow this, remembering that our experi-
mentation can prove many such state-
ments true, and can determine the results 
of many circumstances upon which we 
have no instruction, but should not be 
taken above the Inspiration, just as the 
results obtained in the beginner's labora-
tory can not be taken to discredit the 
statements of the scientist.
