CLOCK TOWER BEGINS JANUARY 13 SECOND SEMESTER VOL. X COLLEGE VIEW STATION, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, JANUARY 3, 1936 No. 6 BEFORE School was out for the holi- days. Nevertheless the day be- fore Christmas found students improving their time at the public library. Besides term- paper-writing -book-strewn -s tu- dents, however, there were other aspiring people in the library that day, all obviously bent on acquiring some sort of information. There was a thin, white haired lady (a spinster probably) who took some type- written pages from a huge pocket book. She had only one book — a French dictionary. Over at the next table was a dignified matron discussing something and occasionally arguing with an adolescent girl. The book on top was entitled "Social Plans." Professors, teachers, pretty girls, and frown- ing boys all studied together. The city directory was kept busy as a succession of seem- ingly excited people fingered through its pages and then wrote the results on a slip of paper. Outside a street car bell jangled impatiently as if in expression of the undercur- rent of excitement which pre- vailed. TOTAL SACRIFICE REACHES $264.60 Mr. Keene Announces Final Sum for the College Week of Sacrifice Final returns from student and faculty offerings for the Week of Sacrifice reached a total of $264.60, according to the repdrt given by Mr. Keene, treasurer. Sums turned in by the various groups are as follows: seniors, $40.40; juniors, $25.71; sopho- mores, $40.40; freshmen II, $14.80; freshmen I, $22.72; academy, $18.20; the grades, $2.18; faculty, $95.42; general, $4.77. The classes carried out their various plans:- Freshmen I sold pies, polished shoes, and gave personal gifts. Fresh- men II sponsored a breakfast. The sophomores held a food sale and gave personal donations. Their articles brought the most money at the rummage sale. A Week of Sacrifice luncheon was one of the junior projects. They also sang christmas carols at Seward and sold popcorn at a basket-ball game. Besides their individual offerings the seniors raised money by showing a German travel picture. SECOND SEMESTER REGISTER Registration for the second sem- ester at the college has begun and will continue throughout this week. Many of the students have finished register- ing and will thus have it out of the way before examinations. New stu- dents will not have to wait in line so long as they would under the old plan. Dates were listed on the bulletin board, a specific day being designated according to the place of the individ- ual's name in the alphabet. Class work for the spring semester begins January 13. MANAGER OF BINDERY WEDS MINNESOTA GIRL Frances Leona Sparrow, 1066 W. Minnehaha, St. Paul, Minn., was mar- ried to Elmer E. Hagen, of Lincoln, Nebr., president of the class of '35, at the home of the bride the evening of December 26. The bride wore a gown of wine- colored velvet and carried a bouquet of asters and freesias. The bridesmaid, Agnes Sparrow, sister of the bride, wore brown velvet and carried a bouquet of yellow talisman roses. The ceremony was performed by Pastor A. J. Haysmer, of St. Paul. Henry Peterson, junior of '35, was best man. Refreshments of ice cream, cake, and punch were served to the fifty guests at the reception that followed the wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Hagen will live at 3743 South 52nd St., Lincoln, Nebr. Mr. Hagen will continue his work as superintendent of the Capital City bookbindery. STUDENTS RESIST HOLIDAY BLIZZARD Special Social Committee Plans Entertainment for Those Remaining Here Despite a howling blizzard and stormy weather the students who stayed at Union college for the holi- days joined in a variety of enter- tainment ranging from a kid party to a semi-formal Christmas party planned by the vacation social committee con- sisting of Ida Green, Della Reiswig, Kimber Johnson, Dan Greene, Miss Rees, and Mr. Habenicht. Marching was the order of the eve- ning for the first night of vacation. The bashfulness of the boys was soon overcome by the willingness of the girls to march. On Friday night the members of both North and South hall families met in the North hall worship room to sing and listen to a story read by Miss Rees. Blistered hands from pulling taffy and blistered feet from roller skating were the results of a double entertain- ment feature on Saturday night. Un- daunted by the painful results of Sat- urday night's skate the braver boys and girls tried again on Sunday night. and more groans were echoed through the halls next day. Choosing a less active pastime for the next evening the students were spectators at the Olympic games pre- sented in pictures by the German club. As an added feature pictures of the celebration of the Thirty Years' War in Iotenburg, a medieval town in cen- tral Germany, were also shown. After the pictures carols were practiced in anticipation of the annual carol sing- ing on Christmas eve. On Christmas day dinner was served in the college dining room with ap- propriate decorations, including gay napkins and a chocolate Santa Claus beside each place card. The girls entertained with a Christ- mas party in their recreation room on Christmas night, and the boys res- ponded the next evening with a kid (Continued on page 3) LINCOLN ARTIST GIVES LECTURE Oz Black Reveals What Artists Can Do to a Drawing With Flourishes TALKS WITH CHALK Profile Caricatures Bring Amusing Likenesses of Campus Figures In Chalk Relief Chalk talk with variations was what Oz Black, cartoonist for the Lincoln Star and Journal, called his lecture given in the college chapel Saturday evening. Mr. Black is the creator of news sketches entitled "Here in Lin- coln," which appear regularly in the Sunday paper. "I knew I'd never be a famous cartoonist," he said, "because I never got any whippings in school for draw- ing pictures of my teachers. I even got better grades for the pictures I put on my exam papers." The new year furnished a starting point. Around the figures 1936 he made a number of marks which, when the paper was turned end for end, resembled a baby's face with a cupie's curl. Other surprises came from flourishes put on a shamrock, an old Ford, eggs, and numbers. An "art class" before the program later revealed startling likenesses of characters about the campus. A defi- nition of caricature as defined by Mr. Black is drawing a picture of an individual that looks more like that person than he does himself. So, from brief sketches taken from a small note book, the cartoonist produced profile pictures on a large "canvas" of Mr. Habenicht, Dan Greene, Henry Meissner, Eleanor Staples, Mr. Stout, Frederick Harder:, Charles Teel, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hansen, Clarence Dye, Dr. Dick, Felix Lorenz, Mr. Wakeham, Mr. Larimore, and President Andreasen. Usually identification was needless. Below are some resolutions written by Walter E. Myer for the Weekly News Review. They are well worth adopting. Every up and coming Unionite should consider these reso- lutions: Become a better workman. Perfect yourself in the work you are doing. If you are a studious student, learn to do the very best that you can do. Do not be satisfied with a grade of A unless your work is the very best that you can make it. There are few people in any line of work who stand out above the dead level of mediocrity. Why not pledge your- self to rise above that level and to do it by the exercise of your own will? Do not become a slave to your work and thereby injure your health. But, within the limits of your capa- city, do your work well. Why not resolve, during the year, to broaden the range of your interests? Find a hobby if you can. Read widely. Become. versatile, many-sided. Develop your sympathies. Un- less your are really sympathetic and P.U.C. STUDENTS REJOICE FOR EXTRA VACATION Announcement of an extra week's vacation was made in chapel at Pacific Union college just before the holidays. According to their calen- dar, they were to have returned in time to resume school work De- cember 30. It was reported that great rejoicing burst forth as all the stu- dents shouted "Rah for the faculty!" When the news reached Union col- lege, one student remarked that the Union faculty was not to be blamed for the shortage of vacation here. "They're just iucky that they're a week's travel nearer to General Con- ference than we are," he said. Not so long ago Unionites were equally pleased to be_ granted one day's freedom that was unexpected at Thanksgiving time. "At least we know in part the joy they felt," was the sentiment expressed by a Jolly Junior. E. H. BRANSON GIVES SUMMARY OF PLANS President of North American Division Says Union Has Bright Future Mr. W. H. Branson, vice-president for the North American division, gave a summary of the purposes of the Seventh-day Adventist colleges in h:s chapel talk December 18, pointing out the need for a greater fight against worldliness at this time when it seems necessary that some of our colleges seek accreditation with the regional association. Seventh-day Adventists, he said, are to be a separate people; they are to be peculiar. There is very little common ground between them and the world. The world does not understand them. "It is impossible," he said, "for the worldling to under- stand why they are so zealous to proclaim all over the earth that Jesus (Continued on page 4) have consideration for others, your efficiency will not amount to much. If you seek happiness for yourself alone and do not take others into account, you will not be well likee. It is a fact that one finds his happi- ness largely not by seeking it too intently, but by losing himself In his wider interests. Make a resolution to become a better citizen. One cannot be a good man or a good woman without being a good citizen. To be a good citizen requires that one be well informed relative to the problems of society. Take an interest in public affairs. It would be a fine thing if each person should resolve that, during the coming year, he would adhere to the truth, that he would speak no false- hoods and that he would respect the property of others; in other words, that he would be strictly honest. Do not pretend to be what you are not. Do not claim that you can do things which you cannot do. You will always be in hot water if you go about making false claims. If you are (Continued on page 5) AFTER The reference room at the library the day after Christmas was again full of people bent on learning something and writ- ing most of it down. The li- brarians who had two days before been kept busy hunting historical data on "Christmassy" subjects were having a com- paratively easy time. They seemed a bit drowsy. There were more old people than young ones that day, more men than girls. An old man smiled a little and tapped his foot as he read from a large book aided by a long-handled magnifying glass. One young girl was wearing a bright colored scarf which she fingered as she read. Occasionally she glanced down at it and then out the window. There wasn't much to see— only a tall old brick building —but she looked happy and seemed to hug herself as if she felt good inside. No one looked hungry. The Cathedral clock chimed twelve but no one moved. Evidently the feasting of the day before had been sufficiently emphasized as to make food of minor importance. Books prevailed. SECOND SEMESTER OFFICERS CHOSEN Sabbath School and Missionary Vol- unteer Leaders Relate Plans Presiding officers for the second semester chosen by the nominating committee and approved by the stu- dents in chapel last week are as fol- lows: superintendent of Sabbath school, Grace Cox; assistant superin- tendent, Warren Swayze; secretary, Lucille Sherrig; assistant secretary, Dan Greene; missionary volunteer leader, Thelma Tiede; assistant leader, Glenn Marco; secretary, _Imogene Schiffner; assistant secretary, (to be filled); chorister, Thurston Water- house; and pianist, Jessie Van Divier. "The Sabbath school work is pre- eminently a soul-saving work. Its purpose is to develop Christian growth. Therefore, we hope to ar- range every program and conduct every exercise with this sacred ob- jective in mind," was a statement made by Grace Cox. Miss Tiede declared that her ob- jective is to make the Missionary Volunteer society a working organi- zation and to make it not only the officers' society but the students' society.

PAGE TWO � THE CLOCK TOWER BEGINNING N OW is the time of the annual round of the sun's activities when many people become extremely or at least a little bored with so much talk about resolutions. Perhaps these same people ought to sit down to think what life would be if there never was a time to make fresh starts, a time to let by- gones be bygones and turn over a new book—not just a page. The editors have chosen to write of idealities that can be made into realities. That they have chosen thus is at least rea- sonable evidence that the sub- ject needs discussion and de- serves consideration, Some say, "Why make resolutions? No one ever keeps them.- Of course they don't if they make them in a half-hearted manner. The one who resolves whole-heartedly to make himself better in some definite way and then strives daily to carry out his intention is developing character. There's one habit that every student of Union college should endeavor to form or strengthen as the case may be. That is daily Bible study. Why not read the Bible from cover to cover in 1936? By reading three chapters each week day and five on Sabbath it is pos- sible to accomplish this end. Surely we should take time to read that much of God's word every day. There will be a reward for such diligence, spiritually speak- ing. There will likewise be a reward, materially speaking. The Central Union conference will present a specially bound copy of "Steps to Christ" to everyone who reads the Bible through. The book is being bound in the college bindery. E. R. THE NEW YEAR O LD Man Nineteen Thirty- five has limped out and young Nineteen Thirty-six has bounded in! Old Thirty-five has treated us pretty well and we've treated him quite well too, so I think we're parting as good friends. Now this young fellow that has just made his bold appearance. How are we going to start him out? Think we'd better start "babying" him and "spoil" him the first thing? I'd advocate starting him out easily but firmly and in this manner make a strong, staunch, steady, helping, willing year out of him. It would be altogether proper to make him a few pro- mises with the very best in: tentions to show young Nine- teen Thirty-six that you mean well by him. Then he won't have any reason to get himself into the mood to retaliate with a few "blue" days. Say to him, "Year Nineteen Thirty-six, I'll meet you half-way and resolve during your stay: To keep my health; To do my work; To live; To see to it I grow and gain and give; Never look behind me for an hour; To wait in weakness and to walk in power; But always pointing onward to the light, Always and always facing toward the right, Robbed, starved, defeated, fallen, wide—astray— On, with what strength I have, Back to the way." H. S. WITH A WILL E NVIRONMENT, we are told, has as much to do with one's development and fu- ture as does 'heredity. Now, as Father Time of 1935, bent under his scythe of worries and cares, disappears into the dis- tance, and the New Year, 1936, advances inquiringly, would it not be better to greet him with joy and sincerity and put him in an atmosphere of hope and op- portunity than to frown at him so that he becomes uncertain of his welcome and falters in his approach? From heredity he may not receive much help, but with the right influences about him he may make something of himself. If he is surrounded by good thoughts, anticipations, and encouragement, he will have a better chance to mature into a beneficial, likable year than if he were surrounded by evil wishes, cynical and pessimistic attitudes, and discouragement. If we determine to let un- kindness, criticism, discourtesy, discontent, grumbling, careless- ness, and dishonesty be super- ceded by kindness, sympathy, courtesy, contentment, thought- fulness, carefulness, and truth, the New Year will have suit- able environment to give 'him a boost over heights never at- tained before and we will have some resolutions worth keeping and worth guarding from dis- solution. � E. K. That leap year was a time for the maid to propose marriage was actually made law in the year 1288. The idea was one of Good Margaret's—Good Margaret of Norway, who was Queen of Scotland in the thirteenth century. Margaret decreed that "During the reign of her Maist blissit megcste" every "maiden ladyc of both highe and Lowe estate" should have the priv- ilege each leap year to "bespeak ye man she likes." The good queen even included man's punishment for refusal. If the man "refuses to take her to be his lawful wyfe, he shall be mulcted in ye sum of one pound or less, as his estate may be." Man's only chance for escape was his ability to prove that he already was "betrothed to one ither woman." When a certain young woman heard of all the bombing being carried on in Ethiopia, she just laughed and laughed, because she always knew Italian Balm was good for black heads. * * * You can't hurt a smile by cracking one. * Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, the First Lady, is to embark on a career as a columnist. The column, plus her pay for radio broadcasting and other writ- ings, is expected to raise Mrs. Roose- velt's earnings to a point considerably higher than her husband's salary, which is $75,000 a year, ALUM% I Every day questionnaires are coming in from Unionites in response to the alumni communication. If you haven't already sent yours, won't you do so soon? Clyde Bushnell, '33, has the dis- tinction of being the first alumnus to return his questionnaire. Speaking of one of his sidelines in connection with the principalship of the Wichita Jun- ior academy in Kansas, he writes, "In my teaching I think music has afforded me the greatest enjoyment, Many times in music class I have announced that we would compose a little song of our own that day and that we would all give some suggestions as to what should be in it. Then, taking their ideas, I would juggle them a bit, give them lilting rime and set them to music that chil- dren love. Each of course would think it his own song and sing it lustily." The earliest graduate to reply to the alumni letter is James C. Anderson, '97, who is now making his home in College View. His wife, Mrs. Frances Brooks Anderson, and his daughter, Leeta, were members of the class of 1933. Leeta Anderson is now prin- cipal of the junior academy in Des Moines, Iowa. Paul N. Pearce, '16, writing from Bay City, Michigan, where 116 has a box shooks and lumber business, says, "We passed through College View this past summer on the way to the mountains for a camping trip. That was the first time I had seen Old Union since my graduation in 1916. What changes! I would not have known the town. I would like to attend a Commencement sometime at Union." (Continued on page 3) New Year's Eve by Eugene Field Good old days—dear old days When my heart beat high and bold— When the things of earth seemed full of life, And the future a haze of gold! Oh, merry was I that winter night, And gleeful our little one's din, And tender the grace of my darling's face As we watched the new year in. But a voice—a spectre's, that mocked at love— Came out of the yonder hall; "Tick-tock, tick-tock!" 'twas the sol- emn clock That ruefully croaked to all. Yet what knew we of the griefs to be In the year we longed to greet? Love—love was the theme of the sweet, sweet dream I fancied might never fleet! But the spectre stood in that yonder gloom, And these were the words it spake, "Tick-tock, tick-cock" — and they seemed to mock A heart about to break. 'Tis New Year's eve and again I watch In the old familiar place, And I'm thinking of the old time when I looked on a dear one's face. Never a little one hugs my knee And I hear no gleeful shout— I am sitting alone by the old hearth- stone, Watching the old year out. But I welcome the voice in yonder gloom That solemnly calls to me: "Tick-tock, tick-tock!" for so the clock Tells of a life to be; "Tick-tock, tick-tock!" 'tis so the clock Tells of eternity.

Mrs. Lynn writes that she is happy for an extended vacation from teach- ing, with the opportunity of busying herself with her home and her little boy and girl. From Forest Lake academy, Mail- land, Florida, Geneva Kern Skinner, 1928, writes, "I think the uppermost thought in our minds now is that Union continue to be recognized as an accredited senior college." Edith Ragsdale-Johnson, '23, and her husband, Al Johnson, are living in College View. They made a trip to California last fall, visiting Mrs. Johnson's sister, Edna, in Glendale, and friends. From Mary H. Moore, '14, who is copy editor and proof reader at the Southern Publishing association in Nashville, Tennessee, came not only a questionnaire but also information about eight other Unionites whose addresses were missing from the alumni association files. The associa- tion officers are hoping many others will emulate her example so that the list of unknown addresses can be re- duced to zero. College View Lumber and Coal Co.

Games of handkerchief, ring around the rosie, childhood days, such as drop the and London bridge, which was es- pecially for the benefit of Charles Teel, provided entertainment for the evening, Around a blazing fire in the fireplace of the North hall parlor a large group of young people sang songs on Friday evening with Donald von Pohle in charge of singing. The last night of vacation was spent in marching in the gymnasium. Group marches by the southwestern, the northern, and all other states were the features of the evening.

Mr. Whitsitt and Mr. Whitlow were roommates at Enterprise acad- emy. Billy Offenhauser visited his sister, Marjorie. for a few days before the Christmas vacation. Mrs. J. C. Watt is visiting her daughter, Elizabeth, and son, Everett, for a few days. Vernon Hodson visited friends at Union before returning to Chicago. Vernon is teaching violin at Broad- view academy and attending school at Northwestern university. Eleanor Davis visited her brother, Morton, during the holidays. William Carter visited friends here at the first of vacation. Carol Randall visited friends in Col- lege View last week. From all reports it is very probable that all the knowledge acquired during vacation was absorbed by the process of osmosis. A lot of our young people don't seem to realize that an owl's wisdom isn't due to the fact that it stays out all night. Man is the only animal that can be "skinned" more than once. � 0 � Pep without purpose is piffle. BRANSON . . . (Continued from page 1) is coming and that men and women ought to give their thoughts to a preparation." The effort of the enemy, he de- clared, to stifle and hinder the work of God is manifest in many ways. The enemy of souls has tried espe- cially to get control of the Seventh- day Adventist educational system. For this reason the denominational leaders have tried to keep the system as distinct from that of the world as possible. It has become necessary, Mr. Bran- son stated, that at least some of the denominational colleges should be ac- credited. States arc requiring that doctors take their pre-medical work at accredited schools. Teachers are also required to have attended col- leges that are accredited. "In study- ing the question since the autumn council," he declared, "it has been found that Union college cannot go on with the work she is doing with- out being accredited by the regional association." The General conference, he said further, has decided to re- consider the council action. Mr. Branson pointed out that the denomination is trying to make its colleges better and stronger than ever before. The leaders are trying to find out the best way to carry on the educational work in Union college. "Everyone can rest assured," Mr. Branson said, "that there is a bright future for Union college." SPERLING—BANICK Announcement of the marriage No- vember 6 of Hilda Elane Sperling to Allen E. Banick was received here last week. Mr. and Mrs. Banick are at home at 113% First Street, Bis- mark, North Dakota. Mr. Banick was a student here during the three years 1927-29. RESOLUTIONS . . . (Continued from page 1) straight-forward and candid and if you claim to be only what you arc, you may sometimes lose an initial ad- vantage. But, in the long run, you will be known for what you really are and for what you can really do, and you will have an opportunity to real- ize your possibilities. If, on the other hand, you put up a false front, you will frequently be placed in em- barrassing positions. Be neat in dress—not extrava- gant or showy, but artful and tidy, because first impressions frequently count for a great deal. Learn to speak correctly. En- large your vocabulary; not by the use of unusual expressions, but by gaining the habit of speaking clearly and with precision. Speech counts for even more than dress as a stand- ard by which you are judged. Learn to be prompt. Too many people are careless about keeping ap- pointments. If they say that they will be somewhere at nine o'clock, as likely as not they will be there at 9:15. That is really an affront to the person with whom the appointment was made. It indicates a heedless- ness of the other's time and comfort. It is a form of selfishness in which no one should indulge. I Closely related to the last reso- lution is this one: Respect other peo- ple's time. If you step into a man's office when, presumably, he is busy, do not sit around for half an hour after your business has been stated. Say what you have to say and then get out. It should not be necessary to give advice of that kind. Any person with common sense ought to know more than to hang around killing time for people who have, something to do. It is unfortunately true, however, that a large proportion of men and women do not know enough to get out of an office when their mission has been carried out. Learn to control your temper. Make a resolution that you will not speak while angry. Cool off before you say anything for which you might be sorry. Develop reliability. If you give your word, keep it. � 0 � Something to think about: Roses are but cultivated cabbages.
