The guests entered by using the gang plank on the frant stairs. Hostesses wore navy dresses and white sailor caps. Eunice Ekstrom announced the program which consisted of readings by Maurine Peterson, Margie Miller, and Claribel Babcock, and musical numbers. Ice cream sandwiches and small American flags were served. Blanche Black sang "Homing" to appropriately conclude the evening's "voyage." �CT � It is when whales spout that they are caught. Miss Keith Welcomes Girls to North Hall To the North Hall girls, old and new, greetings! You can't imagine, if you've never experienced it, how the lull of the post-summer school and pre-fall opening makes us who are here wish for all of you to be coming in with bag and baggage and declaring yourselves here for a nine months' stay. But we want you to come not just to fill the buildings with footsteps; to dis- place the forbidding emptiness of un- occupied rooms with hominess; and to help clean halls, iron shirts, fold Reapers, and bake pies. We want you here to make Union Union. The spirit of Union set aflame by the founders and kept aglow in the hearts of her sons and daughters who have left her doors, no- where and at no time burns brighter than here on the campus when Union's own come home. Soon many hands will be working to put our girls' home in her best dress for the coming of you girls. Strange hands can do the varnishing, papering, and cleaning; but it takes girls to make a hall a home. So here's a welcome to North Hall. Linnie Keith. �CT � Program Is Directed by Estelle Kiehnhoff A music recital under the direction of Miss Estelle Kiehnhoff, instructor in the music department, was the chapel pro- gram July 22. The following numbers were given: A ladies' quartet sang "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes," by Boltwood; Helen Lu- de sang "The Morning Wind," by Brais- combe; Nellie Linscott and Marion Dailey sang "Trees," by Joyce Kilmer; Esther Kunau played a piano solo, "Valcik," by Mokujs; the ladies' quartet sang the clos- ing number, "Just A-Wearyin' for You." by Band. �CT Ten Years Ago the college elected Faculty Members Go to Convention Educational Convention at Asheville, N.

Let me live in a house by the side of the road Where the race of men go by— The men who are good and the men who are bad, As good and as bad as I. I would not sit in the scorner's seat, Or hurl the cynic's ban, Let me live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. I see from my house by the side of the road By the side of the highway of life, The men who press with the ardor of hope, The men who faint with the strife; But I turn not away from their smiles nor their tears— Both parts of an infinite plan; Let me live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. I know there are brook-gladdened mead- ows ahead And mountains of wearisome height; That the road passes on through the long afternoon And stretches away in the night; But still I rejoice when the travelers rejoice, And weep with the strangers that moan, Nor live in my house by the side of the road Like a man who dwells alone. Let me live in my house by the side of the road, Where the race of men go by— They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong, Wise, foolish,—so am I. Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat, Or hurl the cynic's ban? Let me live in my house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. Dean of Men Recalls Goals to be Realized A story is told that as an elderly co""- pie stood on a station platform watching a small dog give chase to a rapidly de- parting train, the lady asked her husband "Do you think he will catch it?" The husband replied, "I am more interested to know what he will do with it if he does." Again and again this summer I have been asked "Do you think we are going to have a large student body this year?" My answer has been "Yes! I believe we will." But now I want to ask the question, "What are we going to do with it when we get it?" Will we he able to mold it into a uni- fied whole with a true vision of its op- portunities and responsibilities? Will we be able to inspire it to attain great heights, spiritually, socially, and scholas- tically? Will it at the end of the year be a body of students definitely consecrated to the service of humanity? The answer to these questions is vastly more impor- tant than the answer to the question of size. My hope and prayer as we near the opening of another school year is that the men and women of Union college will unite as a unit to realize in all our activi- ties the goal set up by these questions. Guy W. Habenicht. CT ---- Habenicht Speaks On Friendship Chrisitan friendship was the subject of the talk given by Guy W. Habenicht, dean of men, at the Young People's meeting in the church Friday evening. Mr. Habenicht opened his talk with the maxim: "The way to make friends that will last long is to be a long time mak- ing them." He emphaized the worth of friends in comparison with that of rel- atives, because individuals can choose their friends. The speaker stated that friendship and Christianity are synonymous, since true friendship cannot be otherwise than Christian. He quoted the words of the Saviour about a cup of cold water and told the story of the good Samaritan. He also spoke of Christ's second coming, when the world will be divided into two groups, because one group has been friendly and has done the thoughtful acts characteristic of friendship. In summing up the importance of friendship in Christianity, Mr. Habenicht said, "He who loves his brother man is beginning to know God." �CT � OBITUARY Anna Marcella Terry Anna Marcella Terry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Terry of 2100 Washing- ton avenue, Lincoln, passed away the morning of July 18 at the White Memor- ial hospital in Los Angeles, California. Marcella was visiting her sister, Mrs. R. N. Brown (nee Florence Lucille Terry) when she suffered an acute attack of appendicitis. She went under the anes- thetic with a prayer on her lips and nev- er regained consciousness. Marcella was a graduate of the Blen- heim school and completed three years in Paseo high school at Kansas City, Mo. She graduated from the high school in Lincoln. She had some work in Un- ion college. Marcella's mother has re- turned home from the burial services held at Minneapolis. Minn. The services were conducted by Elder Shierman, pastor ofthe Seventh-day Ad ventist church in Minneapolis, the after- noon of July 22. Surviving are her parents, her sister Florence Lucille, and her brother Lewis Eugene, who deeply mourn their loss. �CT � A friend is one soul in two bodies— Friendship either finds us or leaves us equals.

HILTS IS HOSTESS Students Have Surprise Farewell for Miss Rees; Girls Give Pen and Pen- cil; Boys Give Flowers Two farewells for Miss Pearl L.-Rees, who is going to be dean of women at Atlantic Union college in South Lan- caster, Massachusetts, were recently held. On the evening of July 25, the faculty honored Miss Rees at a buffetsupper in the college dining room. Ivamae Small Hilts was hostess, receiving the guests as they arrived. Prof. C. C. Engel, Estelle Kiehnhoff, and Clayoma Engel-Foreman furnished' instrumental and vocal music for the evening. Half of the dining room was decorated as a living room with rugs, lounges. lariips, and easy chairs. The other part was arranged with small tables for the serving of the supper in buffet style. Dr. Everett N. Dick was toastmaster. Pres. M. L. Andreasen gave a speech of appreciation to Miss Rees. Lauretta Wilcox-Jaynes gve a tribute, from the viewpoint of a airmer North hall girl. Dean H. K. Schilling presented a lug- gage set and a painting of North hall as a farewell gift. Miss Rees responded with a few words of appreciation. Student Farewell The dormitory students of the college surprised Miss Rees with a farewell party July 22. Evelyn Kellstrom von Pohle, mistress of ceremonies, expressed the ap- preciation of North hall girls for what Miss Rees has done at Union college. A short program was rendered. Alvin Kiley, Carl Kearbey, Paul Whitlow, and Stanley Kannenberg sang. Henry Meis sner played several violin selections, and Eunice Ekstrom read. Peggy Smith presented Miss Recs with a pen and pencil set from the North hall girls. Paul Whitlow presented a bou- quet of pink rosebuds from the South hall boys. After the program punch and wafers were served. At present Miss Rees is taking a va- cation in Kansas City. From there she will go to the Educational convention at Asheville, North Carolina, and on to South Lancaster, Massachusetts, to talre up her new duties. �CT � Friendship Sisters Are Revealed in Kappa Theta At the last Kappa Theta program of the summer, the North hall girls learned who their friendship sisters had been. Each girl brought with her something be- longing to her friendship sister. As the checkered dogs, bright pillows, and other articles were claimed, the names of the sisters were revealed. Carolyn Thorp gave a humorous read- ing; Helen Lude sang "End of a Perfect Day." The president, Ruby Bounds, concluded the summer session of Kappa Theta meetings with an expression of thanks to the girls for their cooperation. �CT � -(> Lulu Blanche Hiatt, of Winfield, Kansas, visited the campus recently.

The plans do not include expense for books ($15.00 to $25.00 a year, depending upon the course chosen and the class load), laboratory fees, private lessons in expres- sion or music, or board or laundry above � CT � Guests Walk Gangplank To Women's Ship Party DURING the last fiscal school period of twelve months, which ended June 7, 1937, the total student labor expenditure item was $74,775.19. This represents 52.31 per cent of the total student income (tuition, fees, music, board, room, and laundry). For the next school year it is our plan to offer about the same amount of labor again. We have the following financial plans to submit for a full year's schooling.

The college press has just ordered a new Craftsman press to take the place of the Chandler and Price press which has been operating just back of the cylinder press. This leaves the Chandler for the printing laboratory which will be in the basement of the college. New type for the laboratory has also been ordered. This class in printing is to be open to both the men and the women. Several Union college graduates have been appointed positions this year. E. K. Vande Vere has been asked to teach history at Plainview academy. Mr. Os- wald Specht has been appointed precep- tor and science instructor at the Inter- Mountain academy, Rulison Colo., and Earl Gardner to the principalship of the Salem, Nebr., high school. �CT � *Florence Barbee-Lindquist, of Lodi, California, visited the campus recently.

He had to write such a sad epistle of farewell in his last issue, because he was leaving, and just about everybody else was leaving, too. But it is my privi- lege to write a great big "Hello, everybody!" to everyone of you. It has been nice to write to you old Unionites in the field this summer. It will be grand to have you back in a few weeks. But, say, it's been interesting to write you soon-to-be Union- ites, too. I can't wait to meet you all! I'm so glad you have read about Union and have decided to come to school here. We'll be looking for you in a few weeks. L. s.

Mrs. Peterson attended Union during the term of 1912-13 and again in 1914-15; she is al- so familiar with the various activities of Adventist college life in other institutions. The characters are composite, represdnting types of young people and the incidents woven into the narrative are true, and have been taken from many sources. Such things as "dandylion digs," "other-mother," all-states' night, week of prayer, and Sabbath after- noon walks are portrayed with vivid accuracy. You are sure to recognize yourself and your experiences in those of Judith, Jean, and Jim. � • * � * EPISTLES BY ROBERT E. HARE You are writing a letter with life's great pen, A wonderful page, for your fellow men; And others will read in it all that you do, That wonderful "gospel according to you." <•.> On the lawn of the General Conference and the Review and Herald building, in Takoma Park, D. C., there gathered, on the evening of July 6, sixty- eight Unionites in a reunion which may interest Unionites elsewhere. From the registration taken that evening, as well as from facts revealed during the program, it is in- teresting to know that every one of Union's forty- six years was represented in the group present at the reunion. From Prof. M. E. Kern, who was one of the "Original Seventy-three," down to those who were present at the 1937 commencement, every year of Union's history had at least one representative. On the chart where this record was graphed, it is in- teresting to note that the largest number had been in attendance during years 1905-18. We deeply regretted the absence of many whose work took them out of town at the time, and of Prof. W. W. Prescott, Union's first president and the only one to be returned to the office after inter- vening years. Three of Old Union's fourteen presi- dents were present ,H. A. Morrison (1914-22 ), Leo Thiel (1925-28 ), and M. L. Andreasen (1931- ). Among faculty members were M. E. Kern, L. L. Caviness, Lynn Wood, J. S. Anderson, Lee Davis, Mrs. Morrison, Gertrude Johnson Meade. There were twenty-six college graduates from classes scattered through the years. One of the earliest graduates present was Elder L. H. Chris- tian ( '97 ) whose early reminiscences helped us the better to appreciate how God's hand directed in the establishment of Union college. Sons of three of those early builders of Union (0. A. Olsen, then president of the General Conference, J. H. Morri- son, president of the Iowa Conference, and N. P. Nelson, president of the South Dakota Conference) are today carrying responsibilities of leadership in the General Conference. Elder Christian bore strong testimony to the fine type of Christian manhood and womanhood which Union has developed through the years, and to the part which our college has played in equipping the working force of the denomination. But while Elder Christian is interested in the past of Union, he is, he said, "more interested in its pres- ent and its future, for it still has a great work to do in helping to man our forces for the finishing of the work." Several speakers referred to the fact that, in the working personnel of the denomination, Union col-. lege is well represented. What a privilege to have spanned forty-six years of Union's history, from its opening day through seven years as academy and college student, through service as a teacher, and afterward as a "golden cord" reaching out, not merely to one field, but to encircle the whole map in the world-wide service to the youth of the denomination! Such has been the happy lot of M. E. Kern, who told us some of the fascinating experiences of those early days, among them his part in procuring the rocks for the re- nowned rock pile on the campus. Bertha Shanks Chaney, '96, contributed the most amazing story of the evening, as she told how nine girls of Union's early days started a "Round Robin" letter in 1894. Throughout these forty-three years those "Robins," as they call themselves, have main- tained that correspondence faithfully, and three of them—Mrs. Chaney, Floy Pierce Kern, and May Pines Stone—were present that evening. feel proud of the project of which he told—the build- ing of the gymnasium. Faculty and students entered heartily into not only the raising of funds, but also the actual construction, and today the "gym" stands as a monument to their enthusiasm and effort. Former President Thiel followed his interesting reminiscences with the singing of a college song by the group who were in Union during his administra- tion. As memories of past days came flooding through that evening, in a panorama directed by W. Homer Teesdale, '13,—memories of classroom, chapel, and Friday evening services, dormitory life, and the rest that go to make up college days—our hearts were stirred with appreciation of the godly teachers who have through the years, under God's guidance, made Old Union what it has been all along. What a procession of men and women they are! How much, how incalculably much, we owe them! And because every one, whether of the Class of '98 which gave the rock pile, the Class of '04 ( the "Naught-y Fours") which gave the chapel clock, whose familiar face has 'marked off the chapel hours these thirty-three years, the Class of "22 which gave the tower clock, the Class of '37, any class in be- tween; or whether we just belong to those who for one reason or another did not reach the end of the scholastic trail, but, nevertheless, love Old Union— because we all treasure the memories of our alma mater, it was with genuine joy that we received, among other things from Prof. Andreasen, the news that a history of Union college is now in prepara- tion. Whether we are a "have-been," an "am-now," or a "hope-to-be" Unionite, the F‘rong links of the mes- sage we all love, and the golden cords of the col- lege we all love bind us together in loyalty and faith- fulness for the one stupendous purpose—the finish- ing of God's work in all the world. STELLA PARKER PETERSON. De BUNK 0 BY "X" I'm very much afraid that if you could see the wide open spaces in the dining room with only one row of tables filled, you'd thing there wasn't anybody to debunk about. But there is, if not in the dining room, out of it. First of all, there is Rendal Caviness's dog. I have not had the pleasure of a personal interview with the personage, but from all reports I gather that he is a full-blooded something or other, that he is a mere pup, and a very cunning plaything when you are on the way to the post office. He has eyes and nose and ears just like any other dog, but he is a relief from a steady diet of purple rag elephants and red bears. Another loveable thing that we have around here that we did not have when all the Unionites left in the spring is a dear little water bucket in the pool. It hasn't any ears, eyes, or nose, but it is the most friendly thing. It has a nice rope that will be glad to wind itself around your neck, if you have not al- ready been greeted with a resounding bang on the head from a head-on col- lision. It also furnishes a means a of get- ting all the trash to the bottom of the pool without giving a personal appli- cation. Then there is the family of bugs in the Business Office. I don't mean the people who work there. They are monstrous bugs of very different species. Since they won't be killed even by ten to twelve swats with the fly swatter and plenty of yelping around by Elizabeth and Anna Marie, we have decided to keep a little collection under my desk (one lives there right now) and sell the collection to some museum after they are properly embalmed. They do provide excitement even though they may cause our customers to believe that we are witches with sticks and stones Since I've been talking about little things (excepting those bugs) I thought I'd tell you about Lucille. She's a little Duke's mixture girl who tries to make people believe that Mr. Gish has made a Frenchman out of her this summer. She knows a French poem about Non Petite Marie which she can sing to a dozen tunes. If you don't remember what Lu- cille Roderick looks like, she is a blonde with lots of pep. She loves to go bicycling and is quite a success at hitting a tennis ball around North hall lawn. I forgot that she is not one of those things that stay out of our empty dining room, because she really does get in by hook or by crook. Lu loves everybody, but she won't love me anymore if I don't stop debunking her in this fashion. � CT � SCHOOL EXPENSES . . (Continued from page 2) the amount previously stated. If the full amount of the cash require- ment is paid at the beginning of the school year, a five per cent bonus allow- ance credit will be given. There is also a bonus allowance granted for those who pay a semester's cash requirement at the beginning of the semester. If you do not plan to pay for a year's or a semester's schooling in advance, kindly plan for a $50.00 deposit at the business office as one of the first steps in the registration pro- cedure. Of this deposit, $15.00 will ap- ply toward the purchase of books and the balance of the deposit, $35.00, will be the first payment of the cash require- ment of whichever plan is chosen. The balance of the cash requirement may be arranged far in monthly payments. For those who are coming to Union College the first time it will he necessary to fill out an application blank and mail it to the registrar's office before coming. After your application for admission has been approved, you should arrange for a room reservation in the dormitory by sending in a $5.00 deposit to the business office or the dean of women or dean of men.

A dreamer, as so many great men have been, he always had visions of doing scmething to help humanity, the speaker "Mr. Mann was elected to the chair- manship of th board of educat;on in Massachusetts at a time when this work was being greatly opposed," said Miss Shepard, "but his ideas of education are the foundation of our educational system today. "He felt that education must be free and universal, that girls as well as boys should be educated ,and that competent teachers should be in charge of the schools. He was a pioneer in his work and went to any length '.o get what he wanted. "It was finally necessary for Mr. Mann to give up his work, but his interests were always in education , His dying words to the youth were 'Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity. " E. L. PINGENOT If the Christian, after starting in the way of right, falls and errs but has the courage to admit his mistake, God in His great love is ever ready to forgive -Ind receive him back, declared Pastor E. L. Pingenot in a talk in chapel Mon- 6ay evening. The pastor showed, through the ex- and Mrs. Hazen Kelsey were the atten- dants.

Evil in the heart will come to the forefront in one's weakest moments but every Christian should be willing to own his mistake, as was Peter, that he may be forgiven and received anew into the fold, asserted the speaker. H. K. SCHILLING What a Bachelor of Arts degree stands for at Union college was the topic of the talk given by Dr. H. K. Schilling in the college chapel Wednesday evening. A college degree at Union stands for more than 125 hours of college credit, declared Dr. Schilling, it stands for a program of critical self-analysis and a broad general education. There has been and is too much spe- cialization among colleges, stated the speaker, but a Union college B. A. de- gree does not stand for specialization. College administrators are coming more and more to realize that too much spe- cialization is not good, he said; today in most professions a liberal arts education is being required before one may special- ize. Specialization is not being urged in Union college, asserted Dr. Schilling. E. N. DICK That rugged individualism is rapidly disappearing in America today was shown by Dr. Dick in a chapel talk July 19. Americans so frequently forget to notice the things that are happening right around them, stated the speaker, and rugged individualism which is the very foundation of the American frontier is becoming a thing of the past. When the white man first took America over he had to fight for himself and get what he could, but today old age pen- sions are being provided, jobs are being guaranteed, and social laws of various kinds are covering the last traces of rug- ged individualism, emphasized Dr. Dick. F. E. BRESEE F. E. Bresee discussed the sunroom, the tenth room in the house of life, in his chapel talk June 23. The other rooms of his house, which he had previously discussed in worship, are religion, arts and sciences, literature, people, health, recreation, work, the garden, fine arts. �CT � Action is the prayer that's always an- , wercd.

One's chief purpose, therefore, should be to benefit those who are unacquainted with the truths which God has revealed to us. During my work last summer, I was impressed many times with the fact that a colporteur should call on all people, regardless of how he expects them to respond. There is always a reward for thoroughness, and sometimes it is realized at once. One cloudy afternoon while I was working in the outskirts of a city, I noticed a neat stucco-covered house about three-fourths of a mile away. It appeared to be that type of dwelling in which well-to-do folks reside. I had had no success with this class of people; in fact, I had never taken an order from them. I was tempted to think that it would be useless to walk this dis- tance back for only one house, but a sense of duty impelled me to go. When I almost reached my destination, I heard the sound of hammers from in- side the house. From this I inferred that the house was unfinished and unoc- cupied. I would have turned back, but the rain was falling copiously and I had to find shelter. Soon I reached the house, scraped the mud from my shoes, and knocked for admittance. Much to my surprise, an elderly woman opened the door and in- vited me in. I visited her long enough to discover that she belonged to that class of people with whom I had had no success. I canvassed her, however, and again I was surprised and delighted, for she ordered a book. About a month later I delivered it. It seems to me that nothing is so in- spiring as incidents in which one can recognize providential leadership. Many such experiences have come to Union college colporteurs, for truly they are "workers together with God." Fill up with . .
