I COLLEGE VIEW, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1927 No. 4 V 7 WE ARE SUFFERING FROM CHRONIC NARROW- MINDEDNESS SAYS KOTZ Elder Kotz of Africa Urges That We Try to See through the Eyes of the Other Fellow Elder E. Kotz, of Washington, D. C„ one of the associate secretaries of the General Conference, who was for fourteen years a missionary in Africa, was at the college from February 21 to February 27, giving a series of lectures on mission work. He spoke to the students at the chapel hour each day, and gave a stereopticon lec- ture Thursday evening. On February 26 he addressed the College View church. During his visit to Union College he told hundreds of interest- ing experiences in the mission field. In his first talk, "Christ or Civili- zation," Elder Kotz said, "Be careful in judging a man who is different from you. Do not think that he is inferior. Difference does not mean inferiority. The more we study back into history the less we despise any- one in another country because he is different fi-om us. That is the im- mense value that the study of the mission problem offers, it compels us to see. at least to try to see, things with the eyes of the other fellow." Elder Kotz says that the native of the jungle is a logical thinker, that he wants to know everything, and that he was unable to answer many of the questions asked by some of the natives in Africa. "Please get rid of the idea that those folks are degenerate. They have more brains than many in the homeland. It is not civilization that they need. It is not philosophy that they need. But there is one thing that I wish you would find while you are in college in order to pass it on to the natives—the one thing they are in dreadful need of— that is Christ." In 1905 he went to Africa as a min- ister and teacher and remained there until 1919. While there he wrote a grammar of the African language, translated the New Testament into the Chasu language, and wrote three books, besides doing his regular work. He speaks seven languages and has traveled very extensively over four continents. During the World War he was imprisoned in Africa for three years, being allowed no communica- tion with his friends or relatives dur- ing the first year of his imprison- ment. Elder Kotz received his education in the college of Cologne, Germany, and later took post-graduate work in the university of Berlin. His breadth of study, travel, experi- ence, and thinking is revealed by an expression which he uses frequently in his discourses, "We are all suffer- ing from chronic narrow-mindedness. We should learn to look at things with the eyes of the other fellow." FORMER FACULTY MEMBER VISITS UNION COLLEGE Professor J. A. Tucker, principal of the Oakwood Junior College, Hunts- ville, Ala., visited the college, Feb' ruary 23 and 24. He is arranging a tour for the Oakwood Jubilee Quar- tet, composed of three students and one teacher from the Oakwood school. The quartet will give a program at the college some time in March. This will be a number of the Union Col' lege lecture course. Professor Tucker was at one time preceptor of the "Knights" of the "Castle" or the group of boys who, in the old days, made their home on the top floor of the college. POPULARITY OF BOBBED HAIR ON THE WANE Twenty Former Devotees Begin to Let Tresses Grow It is rumored that the bobbed- haired girl will soon become an an- omaly at Union College. Only fifty- three girls of this institution are still clinging to the fashion of wearing bobbed hair. The women of Union College number 163. Ninety of these have never adopted this convenience. Up until the beginning of the second semester, seventy-three girls had had their tresses cut. Since that time twenty of these seventy-three have started a campaign tabooing cut locks. It may be a debatable question whether this marks a return to nor- malcy or just an epidemic, but it is not questioned that the local dealers in wigs, switches, and hairpins will shortly raise the prices of these com- modities because of the increased de- mand. The senior girls claim the honor of having started the fashion on the cam- pus, having doubtless considered long hair an indispensable auxiliary to their reputed dignity as seniors. Or perhaps the girls of Union have heard that Paris has decreed long hair for spring; or perhaps they have received the news printed just recently that a well-known eastern college is at pres- ent refusing admittance to bobbed- haired women. Be that as it may, bobbed hair seems to be on the de- cline, and we are wonderim if a statue of a bobbed-haired girl will not sometime be a valuable addition to a museum. Jesse Cowdrick Sets Famous Poems to Music NEW JUNIOR COLLEGE CONTEMPLATED La Sierra Academy, located at Arl- ington, Calif., in all probability will become a junior college next year. It has an enrolment of about two hundred now, and the conference plans to clear it of its indebtedness and make it into a junior college. Jesse Cowdrick, one of the mem- bers of the nineteenth century poetry class, has composed music for "The Indian Serenade," by Shelley, and Tennyson's "Break, Break, Break," two of the poems recently studied by the class. Some time ago Miss Kiehnho/T sang for the class "The Indian Serenade," playing the accompaniment written by Mr. Cowdrick. Last week Miss Grace Buck sang "Break, Break, Break." Mrs. George played the ac- companiment. Professor W. I. Morey, head of the college music department, stated that the music Mr. Cowdrick has written is very appropriate for the words of the poems, and that he is favorably [Continued on vuge 2 column 1] The Week's Announcements Friday, March 1 6:21 p. m.

GLEE CLUB RECITAL COMING MARCH 5 Twenty-six Trained Voices to Take Part On thes evening of March 5 the glee clubs of Union College will give a pro- gram in the college chapel. The first group of numbers is to be given by the ladies' glee club, the second by the men's glee club, and the third group by the combined glee clubs. Miss Estelle Kiehnhoff will sing the obligato parts, and Mrs. Clara Deger- ing will assist in the program by giv- ing two readings. There are twenty-four voices in each glee club, making a total of forty- eight. • Of this number twenty-six are trained voices—nineteen ladies and seven- men. Mrs. Degering, nee Clara Og- den, literary '13 and oratory '18, is at the present time instructor in the College View high school.

EVA GIBB ELECTED EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF "GOLDEN CORDS" 1927 Annual to Have Many Pictures The "Golden Cords" for 1927 will contain the picture of every student and faculty member in Union College, according to plans now entertained by the annual stafl". It is estimated that $550 will be spent for the engraving called for in this book of 128 pages. A contract has already been signed to that effect with a large firm which does such work for the leading uni- versities and colleges in the Central West. The editorial staff reports that it is the plan to "say it with pictures," that descriptions of the college de- partments will be brief and different, and will appear upon the same pages as the pictures -of the faculty. Each faculty member will have a new pic- ture in the "Golden Cords" this year. The organization of the annual staff is as follows: Eva Gibb, editor-in- chief; Roger Altman, assistant editor; Elmer Pingenot, Lu Zetta Krassin, and Emmett Vandc Vere, associate editors; Max Christiansen, business manager; Otho Kirk, assistant busi- hess manager; Judd Lippincott, treas- urer; Louis Hansen, circulation mana- ger; Leta Cornell, Elsie Dixon, and Fern I-Ialverson, artists; Alma Lorenz and Byrne Taylor, snapshot managers. THIRTY-SIX C0MMER CIAL STUDENTS TYPEWRITING AWARDS John Kraushaar Writes Eighty-three Words Per Minute "An enviable record has been made by Union College typewriting stu- dents," writes S. S. Baker, of the Underwood Typewriter Company, in a letter of congratulation to Miss Elva Babcock, who is in charge of the type- writing department. He adds, "Al- though we have not made an official check of our records, it is our belief that you have won as many of the ruby medals as have been awarded in the entire state to other schools." At this time last year twenty-six awards were displayed on the bulletin board; this year there are thirty-six on display in the college building. Thirty-six morp awards were earned this year than there were two years ago. All these awards have been won in sixteen weeks. They represent tests on Underwood, Royal, and L. C. Smith machines. Thirteen students were awarded bronze pins for making a net rate of forty words a minute for fifteen >n\i- utes on official tests on the Under- wood and L. C. Smith typewriters. The highest award, a ruby emblem given for a net rate of eighty-three words a minute for fifteen minutes, was earned by John Kraushaar. He was awarded a gold pencil by the L. C. Smith Company for a net rate of sev- enty words a minute for fifteen min- utes, with less than ten errors. He has also won a card case and a gold medal, given by the Royal Typewriter Company for proficiency in typing. His accuracy in writing for the gold medal was ninety-seven per cent. The class of speed artists have wor. two ruby emblems, one pearl emblem, and three gold emblems, in addition to the above mentioned awards. ,This class will try for the award given by the Royal Typewriter Company in March. Two students of the commercial de- partment were awarded gold pins with membership cards in the Order of Ar- tistic Typists, and eleven shorthand students have earned gold O. G. A. pins, with membership cards in the Order of Gregg Artists, for having written perfect shorthand. The Union College commercial de- partment won the loving cup last year in a contest with the College View high school. This year plans are being made to contest with a neigh- boring collegiate commercial depart- ment. EDUCATIONAL SECRETARY ARRIVES C. W. Marsh arrived in College View the first part of the week to take up his duties as educational secretary of the Central Union Conference. Mr. Marsh is from Chicago, 111.

EDITORIAL The paramount topic of conversa- tion for the past six weeks has been grades—we shouldn't say grades, but rather the lack of grades. Before every chapel period the air has been tense and the conversation animated •some students even stutter in their excitement—all in anticipation of the grade slips which they have expected to receive in chapel. And for the past four weeks that pre-chapel ex- pectation has turned to a post-chapel dejection and disappointment un- equalled on any other occasion. We have concluded that the reason for all of this mental concern over mere grades is due to the fact that school is such an uncertain experi- ence anyway—and grades more un- certain- -that it makes us almost thin even to wait until the end of the semester to learn what kind of im- pression we are making on our in- structors; but to know we've done our duty to earn the grades, that most of the teachers have done their duty to give us the grades, and yet to see nothing of them places us in a quan- dry. Then to make matters worse, we are compelled to sulFer just like the little chap who has to go to bed with- out his supper when all the rest of his brothers and sisters eat theirs; for we get the newspapers from our sister colleges—Walla Walla, Pacific Union, and Washington Missionary College, and find that their semester closed later than ours and yet each student in his respective college knows his fate—for better or for worse. And, oh, how we want our grades! Even The Clock Tower staff appre- ciates the co-operation that ihe students are giving the librarians in keeping quiet in the library. It seems safe to say that the order has im- proved 100 per cent since the begin- ning of the school year. The contest for subscriptions is nearly over; only one more week and the time' is up. The subscriptions are coming in faster each day, and wo marvel to think how many readers this inonth-old newspaper soon will have. Our Clock Tower president, evident- ly still claiming his right to juvenile epidemics, is at home this week, sing- ing "I've got the mumps." We hope he has a pleasant vacation.

"College," by John Palmer Gavit, author of "Americans by Choice," Harcourt Brace and Co., New York, 1925. Price $1.79. This book is dedicated to "my boys," and is the result of an expedition of the author, as a layman, to many col- leges and universities for the expiess purpose of "seeing the wheels go round from inside." He says by way of excuse for the book, "1 have tried to see the human side of this busi- ness. This is not a technical study by an expert in education, nor a muck-racking by a reformer of any sort; nor a criticism by a person set- ting out with theories to substantiate. It is the result of a considerable tour of intensely interested and wholly friendly observation by an ordinary American father and friend of boys and girls, accompanied throughout by his wife, the mother of his children, whose interest in all aspects of edu- cation is as great as his own. In in- expressible gratitude for her com- panionship and inspiration and level headed criticism at every stage, the author records the fact that without these neither the pilgrimage nor the book would have been undertaken." The chapl^r headings in this book are "What Do You Expect of Col- lege?" "Keys to the Treasure House," "Culture and the Curriculum," "Fac- tors of Personality," "From the Stu- dent's Point of View," "The Course in Sportsmanship," "Other Activities —Extra Curriculum," "Ratings of Various Things," "College Presidents, and Others," "Religion and Radical- ism," "College Women and Marriage," "Family Influence in College Life," and "The College Polishes—What?"

In view of the fact that every new enterprise usually publishes the com- plimentary letters received concern- ing its success, The Clock Tower has taken the liberty to quote with- out permission from the writers some of the letters received: ^ "I congratulate you for gettng out a very attractive-looking and newsy paper. I am sure that all your sub- scribers and all the old friends of the "Educational Messenger" of blessed memory will enjoy the paper in its new form much better, and be tetter served by it." M. E. Ellis, '98, mana- ger of Pacific Union College Press. "It is needless to say that as an old graduate of Union College, I en- joyed the first number of the first volume of your new issue. I shall take great delight in perusing the pages of The Clock Towc, and trust that you will always notify me before my subscription expires. Assuring you 1 heartily indorse the work of the school, I remain as ever A member of the class of '98." S. E. Barnhardt, M. D. "Dear Clock Tower, "I enjoy every word of you and want the week to fly so I can get an- other view of you. My brother and I spent four years living very close to the clock tower, and I am sure he will be as delighted with you as I am." Flora Dawson-Terry, '14. "Judging from the basis of the first two numbers, it seems to me that The Clock Tower is the best paper the college has ever published. It has all the earmarks of a real'paper. May it live a long life and improve with age." Dr. G. G. Andrews, head of the department of history, State University, Vermillion, S. Dak. Absolute Pitch Paderewski, prince of pianists, tells an amusing story of a lady who fancied herself as a vocalist. One day while playing the accompaniment to one of her songs, she came to the conclusion that the piano did not sound right somehow, and telephoned for a tuner. The man came, and found the instrument in perfect or- der. However, he pottered about for a while, pocketed his fee, and de- parted. A few days later his employ- er received another telephone mes- sage from the lady. Her piano, she complained, had not been properly tuned. It was no better than before, and she was very disappointed. After receiving a reprimand from his em- ployer, the haples-s tuner made an- other trip and again tested every note, only to find, as previously, no fault with the instrument. This time he told the lady so. "Yes," she said, "it does sound all right, doesn't it, when you play on it; but as soon as I be- gin to &ing it gets all out of tune."

E. Wight, chairman of the Union College board, in a report made to The Clock Tower stated that at a meeting of the board held Monday afternoon, February 28, consideration was given to the proposed annexation of College View to Lincoln, and that the board wished to put itself on rec- ord as being satisfied with the present city government, and also expressed itself as appreciating the co-operation of the people of College View, and tho conduct of the city government by the city board. It also put itself on record by vote that it would prefer that the present corporation be main- tained, and that College View he not merged into the city of Lincoln. Tho first 'session of the board was held at eleven o'clock Monday morn- ing. Presidents and educational sec- retaries from the Northern, the Cen- tral, and the Southwestern Union Conferences are in attendance. MISS PHILMON LECTURES TO THE I Students Are Given Opportunity to See Souvenirs Miss Rochelle Philmon, head of the English department at Union College, lectured to the students of the Col- lege View high school on the after- noon of February 22. Her subject was "The Literary Shrines of the East." In her talk she told of many literary shrines which she had the privilege of seeing while she was traveling in the East last summer. The most important of these were the homes of Longfellow, Hawthorne, Emerson, and Whittier. Many vivid descriptions were given of these homes and their surroundings, which helped the students to understand the conditions under which these writers worked. I "The two greatest thrills I received from my whole journey were shooting the rapids of the St. Lawrence and viewing the city of Montreal from the top of the mountain," said the speaker. At the close of the lecture, the stu- dents were given an opportunity to view many of the pictures and souve- nirs which Miss Philmon had collected on her trip. A banquet in honor of the board was given by the college in the dining room, Monday night. Faculty mem- bers and their wives were in attend- ance. At the beginning of the pro- gram, the North Hall girls marched in the dining room and sang the col- lege songs. CHURCH ITEMS The Home Missionary secretaries of the church held a meeting last Mon- day evening and organized for definite work to encourage those who cannot, for various reasons, attend the Sab- bath school, to enroll as home depart- ment members. Mrs. Minnie Cook of South Hall is the general home de- partment secretary and she will have as her assistants the district Home Missionary secretaries who will be re- sponsible for those in their respective districts who cannot attend the regu- lar Sabbath school. LIBRARY PROGRAM TO BE HELD IN COLLEGE CHAPEL MARCH 8 Remember the "book reception" en- tertainment to be held in the Union College chapel, Tuesday, March 8, at 7:30 p. m. The purpose of the pro- gram is to help fill the vacant shelves in the College View public library. The admission, if you so desire, is one or more books. If you have a book in your library which you can spare, bring it with you. It will make a welcome addition to the College View library. But whether you bring a book or not, come. FROM THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Group reports, stereopticon pic- tures, songs, and lectures by promi- nent visitors have been features of special interest in the English depart- ment, under the direction of Miss Rochelle Philmon. The class in nineteenth century poetry is studying Tennyson. His longer poems were presented to the class by different groups. Especially interesting was the presentation of "Tho Princess." Last week several members of the class in American literature sang such favorites as "Ben Bolt," "Old Folks at Home," and "My Old Kentucky Home." Stereopticon pictures of "Dixie" were shown to the class by Ralph Kinzer during the period the class was studying the poetry of the Civil War. After the pictures were shown, Professor J. A. Tucker, of Huntsville, Ala., told the class some- thing about modern Dixie. On February 25, Elder E. Kotz spoke to the students in the comparative literature class. He also occupied the recitation period of the class in Bib- lical literature. The writers' club, organized at the beginning of the second semester, has been meeting regularly every two weeks. Many interesting manuscripts have been read and criticized by the club. A poem by Wesley Andress, a story by Mrs. Editha Kelsey, and a familiar essay on "Epidemics" by Gerald Minchin, received much fav- orable comment from the members of the class. There are over three hundred stu- dents enroled in the English depart- ment—one of the largest departments of the college. "A highbrow is a person with too much education and too little intelli- gence." "An original idea, to most persons, is a very rare experience." "A fool is a person who reads all the books and remembers them all. A bigger fool is a person who reads the newspapers and believes them all." "If you want to keep the town clean, let every man sweep before his own door."—-Chinese. DR. GRAYBILL WRITES OF WORri IN PERU Treats Sixty Patients in One Day Dr. Bernard Graybill, '22, in a per- sonal letter from Juliaca, Peru, wjites: "Mrs. Greybill and I were out at one of the mission stations two weeks and did a great deal of medical work. This station is near the lake [Titi- caca] and in a region where there are 10,000 Indians. Many of these Ind- ians have never heard the gospel as Christians believe it. Sabbath 1 gave two medical talks, in Spanish, and gave them the opportunity to bring their sick. Sunday they came. I started working at 6:00 a. m. and saw sixty patients during the day. Then Monday I started examining at 5:30 a. m. and saw forty patients that day up until 1:30 p. m. "We plan another trip there with- in two months to do nothing but sur- gical cases. We want to spend two days operating and then remain for about a week for observation. It is very interesting to work with these people. They are full of superstition. They think that a bird can get under the skin and fly around; also that a stone gets it in for them and that the stone must have some medicine put on it. Others think that the wind gets into them or that the sun will kill them if their hats should fall off. There are many other ideas that they hold to like glue."—Medi- cal Evangelist. Have you ever wondered about the painting which adorns the east front wall of our chapel- how it came there, when it was painted, and what it represents? The painting was named "Sunrise in Arizona" by Professor Peter J. Rennings, the artist who painted it in 1911, and who was then the head of the Union College art department. Previous to his coming to Union, Pro- fessor Rennings had been an illustra- tor for the International News Com- pany. He went from here to Moun- tain View, Calif., where he did illus- trating for the Pacific Press Associa- tion. He is following his chosen work in Honolulu. At the time this painting was done, the entire chapel was being redecor- ated, and the painting was Professor Rennings' contribution. Considering its size and the fact that it was painted on coarse canvas with ordinary house PENITENTIARY SUNDAY SCHOOL For the past five years Mrs. J. E. Winter, Mrs. Henry Copeland, and Mr. Louis Davies have been regular Sun- day school teachers at the state peni- tentiary. Last Sunday the chaplain called and asked them to bring an- other teacher. Four of the eight classes of the Sunday school are taught by College View teachers. The teachers can see a great change in the inmates after they have attended their classes. Mr. Charles McWilliams often preaches to the boys, and as a rule there are several visitors from here each Sunday.

BROTHER OF UNION STUDENT ENCOUNTERS CANTONESE TROOPS The "Lincoln Star" of February 19 carried the following Associated Press dispatch sent out from San Francisco under the date of February 19: "Mrs. Mae B. Hawley, Los Angeles, wife of D. B. Hawley, pilot on the Yangtze River, who arrived on Jap- anese liner "Tenyomaru," today told of a six-day brush with Cantonese troops as her husband's craft steamed down the river bearing nine mission- aries and fifteen children to safety. "It was necessary for passengers to lie on the bridge of the vessel to es- cape bullets, she said. Two members of the crew were killed. "At one point the ship was to have stopped for inspection of her $1,000,- 000 cargo. Soldiers camouflaged plans to attack the boat by presence of thousands of children on the river bank. As the boat was about to dock these children withdrew and machine guns started firing. Hawley ordered the craft full speed ahead, and it es caped." Mr. Hawley has been for several years the captain of an American Oil Company boat on the Yangtze river. His ship has many times before been at the mercy of bandits' bullets. He is a brother of Jeanette Hawley, of Union College.
