Mr. Earl lived in the community with Riley and through personal contact with him caught sight of the beauty and worth of his literature, reflecting the lives of neighborly folk. After repeating in a typical school boy fashion "The Spring Idyl on the Grass," Mr. Earl pictured briefly the life of James Whitcomb Riley, who was born in Greenfield, Illinois, and who in spite of his father's wish of his becoming a lawyer, loved the great out , of-doors. "Enduring," "After Whiles," and "Out to Old Aunt Mary's" followed, the last being in its original form a letter to Riley's broth- er. A group of popular and serious numbers, including "A Legend Glori- fied," one of Riley's most beautiful works, closed the program. Mr. Earl, who has been until re- cently a superintendent of schools in an Iowa town, is an uncle of James and Jessie Van Divier, students at Union college this year. Kansas has done her share in giv- ing men and women to Union col- lege and the work throughout the world. She has also furnished a fruitful field for the labors of teach- ers and ministers who have been train- ed in Union college. Workers in Kansas conference who have attended Union college are: Pas- tor N. J. Aalborg, student in 1907; Pastor F. C. Clark, student in 1920; Pastor A. M. Ragsdale, department- al secretary, graduate of 1920; T. C. Nethery, secretary and treasurer, stu- dent in 1902 and 1905-06; Pastor E. H. Myers, departmental secretary, graduate in 1914. A. K. Phillips, di- rector of colporteur evangelism in Kansas during the past year, is now attending Union. He plans to take his B. A. at the close of the summer ses- sion. Every member of the Enterprise academy faculty has been either a student or teacher in Union. Everett D. Kirk, principal, received his B. A. in 1920. J. C. Harder, the Bible and history teacher, attended Union in 1905. A. D. Holmes, teacher of sci- ence and mathematics, graduated in 1920. 0. E. Simon, accountant and teacher of commerce and printing, took his B. A. in 1922. Sterling K. Gernet, head of the music department, was instructor in piano at Union in 1930-1933. Mrs. Gernet, who is ma- tron at the academy, took college work in 1933. Elizabeth Cowdrick, graduate of 1926, is the preceptress and English Teacher. E. E. Bietz, B. A. 1931, is the preceptor and lan- guage teacher. Over half of the church school teachers in Kansas have studied here. They are: Gladys Wagner, who at- tended Union in 1924 and 1927-1928, now teaching in the school at Enter- prise; Mildred Priest, teacher at Ft. Scott, student here in 1932; P. W. Peters, of Kansas City, attended Un- ion 1914, '16-17 and in 1920; Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Rabuka, Nekoma, students here in 1933; Ardis Foster, Republican City, attended here in 1930; Ina Riffel, of Shaffer, was here in 1927; Jessie Pride, Wichita, stu- dent here in 1917. Olivia Brickman is on leave of absence from the Wichita school and is attending Union this se- Characters From Books Speak in M. V. Society Portrayals of three 1934 read- ing course books were given at Mis- sionary Volunteer meeting in the chapel February 3. The books were illustrated on the separate pages of one large book which stood in the center tif the plat- form in front of the drawn curtain. The first was the Bible; and as the leaf turned back, Francis Avery step- ped out and sang "My Mother's Bi- ble." Donald Pohle read the Scrip- ture reading in a similar setting. The story of the second book, en- titled "Adventures of the Air," was told by Glenn Marcoe, who was dres- sed in aviator's costume. Wallace Nethery gave the setting of "God's Out-of-Doors" with poems and illus- trated reading. The fourth book, "Out of the Depths," the story of an editor's life, was illustrated by pantomime while a synopsis was read. Before the turn- ing of the leaves of the great book, Viola Christensen had introduced the subject of reading. Band A, the first of the newly or- ganized program bands, had charge of the Missionary Volunteer meeting Sabbath afternoon. Avery Dick act- ed as chairman. "Boys flying kites haul in their white winged birds, but you can't do that when you are flying wok's" was the theme of the program as set forth by Bert McBroom in his talk. This theme was further developed in a poem by Ethel Mason, a story by Florence Lucille Terry, and special music by Dorothy Hutchison, Mild- red Shannon, Winfield Eden, La- I Verne Nicolay, and Robert Brown. mester. Miss Brickman will receive her B. A. this spring. Dr. E. N. Dick, head of the his- tory department at Union college, claims Kansas as his home. He lived at La Harpe and completed his sec- ondary education at the Oswego acad- emy in 1919, Oswego academy was the forerunner of the present school at Enterprise. D. G. Hilts, Union's librarian, lived in Kansas City, Kan- sas, and attended the Oswego acade- my in 1914. Fred Sofsky, the col- lege engineer, was bOrn in Salina, Kansas, attended the Kansas Wesley- an Business college in 1915, and was construction foreman with the Union Pacific railroad during the years 1922=26. Martha Doris McElvaine, B. A. 1926, makes her home in To- peka. She completed her secondary work in the Topeka high school and attended the Kansas State Agricultur- al college one year. At present she is critic teacher in the seventh and eighth grades of the Normal Train- ing school here. Among the missionaries who have been students at Union and who came from Kansas are Ellen Stacy, Farm- ington, graduate of the Advanced Normal course in 1926, and Bible Worker in Japan in 1927; C. E. Peck- over (deceased), Topeka, student in 1902 and missionary to West Indies; W. E. Neff, Ottawa, who attended during the summer sessions of 1921 and 1931, a worker in South America; J. F.

Ogden, who respectively finished the Biblical course, 1896, and the scien- tific course, 1897, missionaries to the West Indies, he now at Havana, (Continued on page two) , We are glad to announce that Un- ion college has added to her curric- ulum a course designed to enable her young men, in case of another war, to enter a type of non-combatant work where they may both render devoted service to their country and also car- ry out the instruction to "love thy neighbor as thyself." This course 'provides a training which will enable young men to enter the medical corps as 'their field of ser- vice, should they be called to do mili- tary duty, and includes drill in first aid, stretcher bearing, simple military maneuvers, personal hygiene, camp sanitation, and care of the sick an., wounded. Dr. Everett Dick is in charge of this new undertaking, and associated with him are Professor G. W. Habe- nicht and Pastor F. H. Yost, all of whom saw active military service dur- ing the World War. Major E. H. Burgher, a doctor in the medical corps, visits the class and supervises instruc- tion in the technical features of the course. Through the courtesy of Ma- jor Burgher this training will be ac- corded a degree of recognition by the government. Yet those enrolled in the course are not enlisted and are in no way connected with any branch of the military service. SCHILLING SPEAKS Urges Professional Spirit to be De- veloped by Students Professional pride and efficiency, as applied esperi ally to teaching, discussed by Prof. H. K. Schilling in chapel Wednesday. "We have entered a new era in ed- ucation," Professor Schilling declared. "Instead of being interested only in the mechanical side of teaching, w e are interested in the spiritual value of education. We expect more of our teachers; we are setting higher pro- fessional standards than every before. A few years ago we were suspicious of a professional spirit, but today the spirit of belonging to a teachers' guild is altogether too absent." Professor Schilling mentioned his resentment of the attitude of some teachers who teach merely for the ex- perience of it. "Teaching is a holy profession," he continued. "Just as the minister helps in the growth of the soul and the doctor helps in the growth of the body, so the teacher helps in the growth of the mind. A poor teacher will wreck minds just as a poor doctor will wreck human bodies. A teacher who experiments is not a professional." The speaker commented on a sug- gestive list of questions which he would ask a teacher who applied for a position. Christianity Prompts Courtesy, Says Little True courtesy springs from the heart, and the one desiring refinement of manners must first look to the mo- tives which prompt his acts, declared Prof. Tom Little in chapel February 5. "While courtesy may be thought of as having regard for conventional procedures of 'behavior," he said, "it may be more properly defined as con- cern for o,..ners. Thus we see that courteous living is essentially Chris- tian living, for Christianity is found- ed on love and service for others." Professor Little said that the Bible contains the greatest single code of ethics, the story of the greatest apos- tle of courtesy, Christ, and the most striking illustrations of eminently courteous people. The best current illustrations of courtesy are found in the lives of Christians, he said, Aiming his remarks toward the cor- rection of specific faults, the speaker pointed out that the practice of inat- tention in a religious service consti- tutes a gross discourtesy to God. It is equivalent, he said, to taking the name of the Lord in vain. This step was taken only after careful consideration and prayer. Sev- eral weeks ago a committee compos- ed of Professors G. C. Jorgensen, G. W. Habenicht, F. H. Yost, Ever- ett Dick, and A. W. Johnson was ap- pointed to study the problem. In counsel with the faculty and with representatives of the Union college board, the committee submitted the present plan, which has the full sup- port and approval of the General Conference Missionary Volunteer de- partment. While Seventh-day Adventists do not believe in bearing arms and non- combatant status has been accorded them, they are loyal and faith- ful citizens and are ready to do any work and serve their country in any capacity that 'will not violate their cohscientious regard for what they consider right. We are therefore happy to be able to announce that the course here outlined is a definite part of the training of the young men of Union college. The class meets once a week for drill and for instruc- tion in medical corps technique. The faculty of Union college is en- deavoring to teach the pacific, human- itarian principles laid down by Christ, and any tendency toward militarism is discouraged. VINES IN LINCOLN Tells of Working for Education; Gains International Paine BY WALLACE NETHERY Union college students desirous of improving their tennis game will play their best every minute they are on the court, if they heed the advice of Ellsworth Vines, given in an interview with a CLOCK TOWER reporter last week. Vines, formerly national singles champion, was in Lincoln fora match with Bill Tilden. A tall, lanky youth, very modest and amiable, Vines is an idol of the sports world as well as having been a popu- lar campus hero at the University of Southern California, where he was a student until recently. "So many fellows," he said, "go onto the court, then waste half of their time just fooling; whereas, if they really played hard all the time they would advance in the game much faster. It is well, also, to play against those who are just a little bit better than yourself, if possible." This tennis star knows what it is to work his way through school. When asked what he thought of the task, he said, "I't's a lot of work. I live in Pasadena, eleven miles from the school, and so had to leave home early to get to my first class. I at- tended classes until twelve o'clock, then worked as bookkeeper for a busi- ness firm until four. I played on the varsity basketball team, and during the season had to practice from four to six. I studied some in the evening. I was taking a commercial course." It is well known that Vines has for sore time been irked by the possibil- I , of becoming known as a "tennis bum," spending much time in the sport, especially in the summer, while his mother worked hard teaching school. In order to refute such a charge, it is thought, he became a pro- fessional with •Bill Tilden's troupe. The two are playing a series of matches to decide the world's profes- sional championship. , In discussing the question of smok- ing by athletes, Vines said, "I do not smoke, myself." He advocated no particular diet as being favorable to good physical condition, but said that an athlete must be temperate. "The first time I met Tilden—that was in 1930—my knees knocked against each other in fright. Bill is a great player—as good, after a few days rest, as he ever was," Vines de- clared. He commented on Nebraska's fine weather the day he was here, but de- iclared that there is no place like I Cali- fornia in which to live. Sab atlAchool Record Given Over Mock Radio The "unknown voice," giving a brief review of the classes, daily lesson study, and attendance, spoke to Union College Sabbath school February 10. From all indications, members will be looking to next Sabbath when the "unknown voice" will again broadcast from Union college. Incidental to the scripture reading and prayer by Henry Brown, the choir sang as a chant a quiet hymn. After the secretary's report. Profes- sor Engel's orchestra played "Gav- otte," by Handel. Mae Sorenson in the missions talk told how Christianity gained a foot- hold in Japan. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit was stressed by A. K. Phillips in his review of the previous week's lesson. An enthusiastic song service, includ- ing a saxaphone trio by Claire Heit- man, Lowell and Curtis Barger, com- prised an interesting feature of Union College Sabbath school February 3. Bob Whitnack conducted the devo- tional exercises. As an interlude be- tween the scripture reading and pray- er, the Sabbath school choir sang "Go to Thy Father in Prayer." The col- lege mixed quartet sang "Lord, Make Me Strong." Mabel Gosnell's mission reading— facts about Japan and Korea—brought many interesting things to view. It is fortunate that one does not have to learn the 7,000 characters comprising the Japanese language, but a trait well worth adopting from the Japanese is their courtesy, the speaker said. J. H. Nylander illumined the concept of the Holy Spirit by apt comparisons as he reviewed the previous week's lesson. BY FERN The sunny state of Kansas is faith- ful in sending a large number of her sons and daughters to Union each year, and this year she has sent twen- ty-three, two of whom went home at the close of the first semester.

The first person a North hall girl thinks of when she pulls the handle off her dresser drawer is—Frank. Avery Dick is from La Harpe, Kan- sas. This is his first year at Union college. He plans to major in history. COMMEMORATE LINCOLN BIRTH Program Under Auspices of Student Committee Given on Anniversary Day ENSEMBLE PLAYS Varied Program Portrays Spirit of Stirring Times in Martyred President's Life The one hundred twenty-fifth an- niversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln was commemorated in chapel Monday by a program given under the auspices of a student committee. Recapturing the spirit of the occa- sion when Lincoln delivered his fa- mous Gettysburg address, Kimber Johnson impersonated the care-worn president as Alex Reisig read the speech off stage. A second scene re- vealed Mr. Johnson in posture of the familiar statue of Lincoln at the Lin- coln memorial, Springfield, Illinois. Glenn Marcoe gave John M. Thurs- ton's oration, "Lincoln, a Man Called of God." A. K. Phillips, chairman of the com- mittee which presented the tribute, said that Lincoln "is our most beloved national hero" and read Walt Whit- man's stirring tribute, "Captain, My Captain." Bert McBroom related hu- morous Lincoln anecdotes. Contributing toward the portrayal of the times in which Lincoln lived were the medley overture played by the instrumental ensemble under the di- rection of Clayoma Engel; "Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground," sung by the Union college male quartet; and Florence Lucille Terry's reading of "The Blue and the Gray." WOOD He is associate leader of the Gospel Workers' seminar and also a band leader of the Missionary Volunteer society. He is an employee in the print shop and 'is a member of the Owl club. Lola Mathews is from Winfield, Kansas, where she graduated from high school in 1932. She is a sopho- more this year, her major study being history. She works in the kitchen, and is the one who makes the good but- tered toast for us every morning. Bert McBroom, a graduate, of En- terprise academy, comes to us from Wichita. He is the first floor monitor of South hall and is a member of the Dean's advisory committee. He is laboratory assistant for the bacteriol- ogy class and is one of Union's sen- iors this year. Helen Meyer is another Wichitan. She was graduated from high school in Wichita in 1930. Miss Meyer is taking the commercial course here, and finds employment as stenographer in the bookbindery.

Did you join the few thoughtless per- sons who dropped candy wrappers on the lawn or threw them into the hedge instead of into a waste-paper container? Each Friday afternoon and Sunday morning a man picks up the dis- carded paper that others thoughtlessly toss aside when they take those last bites. The banana lover of a few years ago tossed the peeling aside with the same flip of the wrist that you use on your waste paper. but when he realized the havoc he wrought and the comments he received as he munched his anatomy's desire, the peelings stayed in the sack: and now a banana peeling is a rare thing on the sidewalk or hanging from the hedges bordering the walks. Notice the effect of the few pieces of paper upon our lawn, and then yield not when tempted to ease your burden before reaching the proper place to dispose of your "counterfeit nickle," as some one called a candy wrapper. L. L. C. BY WAY OF GOOD CHEER Studying in chapel is gradually becoming less. Students find it more and more difficult to catch up on neglected lessons and take beauty naps during the chapel period. We congratulate the faculty for their splendid ability in making some dull sub- jects interesting and even fascinating. It is noticeable, especially of late, that cold-blooded attempts at diversion during chapel are surrendering themselves to the presentation of the "whys" and "wherefores" of etiquette and its importance to college students. When students give undi- vided attention to subject matter usually termed "preaching" the speaker is to be congratulated. Holding the standards of Union high will make a school of students to whom good manners are second nature. E.R. Kansas Sends Students (continued from page one) Henry Nickel, of Buhler, Kansas, graduated from the Buhler high school in '23. His major subject is English. He is employed in the College press and is a member of its Owl club. Harold Quick, a sophomore in col- lege, is from Leonardville. He is an active member of the Gospel 'Workers' seminar and is an outstanding history student—one who claims to have no political aspirations just at present. During the past semester he was a reader for some of the history classes. He knows how to handle a paint brush, too. Mr. Quick has brightened many halls and classrooms with his brush. Esther Reeder, of Kansas City, graduated from Washington high school in 1932. She is a sophomore, her major subject being English. She is one of the school librarians and is a member of THE CLOCK TOWER staff. Kansas still claims Annabel) Rumpf, who was formerly of Wichita. She is a graduate of the academy at En- terprise, and is now spending her third year at Union. Should you call at North hall she would no doubt be the first to greet you, for she is North hall office girl. Mildred Shannon graduated from the Seaman high school in Topeka and is taking the normal course here. She works in the bookbindery and the College press. She is associate sec- retary of the Gospel Workers' sem- inar and is a division leader of the Sunshine band. Esther Siebenlist, of Nekoma, is a graduate of Enterprise academy now spending her second year at Union. She is taking the advanced normal course. Esther is employed in the Col- lege laundry. Theodore Torkelson, who is from Everst, is another one of the Kansas Enterprise academy graduates and col- porteurs. He finds employment in the college dairy. Mr. Torkelson is as- sistant leader of the Gospel Workers' seminar. It is always a pleasure to meet him on the campus, for he always has a pleasant smile and cheerful word. Fern Wood, of Buhler, Kansas, graduated from the Buhler high school in '31. Perhaps it would be permis- sible for me to change person and say that I am taking the pre-dietetic course, and that I want to say with the other Kansans that it's dear old Union for me! 0 Contributes Missionaries (continued from page one) Cuba, as superintendent of the An- tillian Union; I.

JACK CHRISTY The greatest need of the world's people in these trying times is faith in the God of Israel, supplemented by a sane, rational sense of humor. People need to be made joyous, hap- py, and glad. They need to surround themselves with every influence that will make them that way. Decent humor is one of man's best defenses against the woes of this spinning world. Even the Saviour displayed a fine sense of proportion on those rare occasions when there seemed to be a let-up in the bitter opposition of those who hated Him. Can you see humor in this: "Ye strain at a gnat and swallow a camel"? Imagine one of those disdainful Pharisees minutely inspecting his cup in fear of swallow- ing a harmless gnat; then shift the scene and watch him as he swallows a camel — long neck, hump, padded feet, and all. A young friend was recently ex- tolling the supposed glories and won- ders of a secular university he wants to attend next year. Our friend lacks experience. It takes a long time to crawl back to God through a maze of spiritual darkness and unbelief. We know... It is a terrible truth, but most great schools of this modern world are hot-beds of atheism — breeding grounds for infidels. Let the young Phone 48-W X-Ray Diagnosis Res. 15-W FRANK T.

Gold's Third Floor THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE THREE BY HENRY It is strictly against the rules of goodfellowship to sing while taking a shower at South hall between the hours of 7:30 in the evening and six o'clock in the morning. It is also quite out of place to be traipsing up and down the halls after midnight. But when an alarm clock sounds long be- fore sunrise and the clatter of hasty footsteps down the hallway arouses the light-sleeper, there is nothing amiss, for the day is just beginning at Union college. Recently the father of a Union col- lege student came to visit his son. When he arrived on the campus, this son was not immediately available and the 'parent was quite upset about the fact that the boy could not be found at once. Just where was he? Well, let's stop to consider where he may have been. He may have been in his room; he was act. He may have been at- tending classes; there are many of those. He may have been attending orchestra, glee club, or quartet prac- tise. Then again, he may have been at work—and that is our story. At the close of every week the books show that approximately 5,000 student-hours of labor have been furn- ished by the various industries and departments of the college. Every stu- dent is required to furnish ten hours of "domestic time, - and recent figures reveal that only a half dozen dormi- tory students arc paying their entire way in cash, and even these work their "domestic time." Study and thorough theoretic train- ing are the chief aims of the institu- tion. A student who accounts for him- self in a creditable fashion in the regu- lar course of study is a busy indi- vidual; when he attempts to pay for a portion of his college education by applying himself to manual labor and the crafts, he is just that much more active. It may be true that Union col- lege is a poor resort for the indolent. There are a large number of stu- dents who could not be in Union col- lege if they were unable to pay on their expenses through reciprocal effort. Consider where the anxious father may have found his boy: The largest single industry of the college, of course, is the cafeteria. It has been said that all is well with the man after a hearty meal. Facts indicate that breakfast is served to about 150 students; 240 eat dinner somewhat regularly; and 175 or more get around to supper once a day. To serve all these hungry people 30 girls and 5 men students are employed. The day in the cafeteria commences at i five o'clock. The prize for early rising, however, belongs to the farmers of the college. BY MIABEL GOSNELL As Union college opened her doors to welcome new members of her fami- ly, one member in particular strode in- to the chemistry class room and an- nounced his arrival and greetings with two short but emphatic exclamations, then quietly took his accustomed place. The ever-attentive pupil scarcely took his eyes from the instructor's face as the professor proceeded to ex- plain the composition of minute partic- cies, but sat very still with an expression of "yes-sir" in his large brown eyes. The fact that an atom is complex and consists of a tiny, posi- tively charged, central neucleus, which is surrounded by a system of elec- trons seemed to command the utmost concentration on the part of the listen- er. Toward the close of the class pe- riod the teacher noticed the intense look of understanding on the face of his hearer and asked if he wished to state his conviction on the matter of atcmic structure. Then, as if he were pleased at being given an opportunity to recite his ideas, for he seldom took the liberty to speak unless spoken to, the expression of his thoughts were given forth in a series of "Bow-wows - which left little doubt in the minds of the remaining members of the class as to his beliefs on the subject of the world's make-up. BY GEORGE NELSON Clutching a roast goose in a vise- like grip, Casar, venerable half-coy- ote and half-airedale owned by Prof. G. C. Jorgensen, came prancing home just as proud and dignified as his NICKEL There are 13 agrarians, and most of these greet the day long before the peaceful slumbers of the rest are dis- turbed. The call for these men goes out some time between three and four o'clock, an early hour even for the cows. Even as cleanliness is the by- word in the cafeteria, the farmers pride themselves on their sanitary enterprise, and the dairy is one of the finest. Here it takes 525 hours of student effort to make the whee.s go 'round; this includes the milkers, and those in charge of the dairy room, where all the milk produced is handled for home consumption and retail dis- tribution. The college press ranks third in im- portance among the industries of the school. The steady hum of machinery indicates that a number of craftsmen in school practise their art. Twenty students are needed to carry on the routine work, and they apply them- selves to the extent of more than 400 hours every week. At the college laundry, 16 students find time during the week to work 340 hours. The laundry is well organized to keep its patronage and is furnish- ing steady work for its employees. A clean shirt is something we expect to find in the top drawer, but it doesn't just happen to be there. There is a long process a soiled shirt must pass through before it comes over the counter spotless. A net-work of tunnels of more than two city blocks run under the campus for housing the steam and water pipes that all merge at the power house. Here 12 students are employed and these 12 often get the sting from caus- tic remarks about the temperatures in' the variou s buildings of the campus. Whether it be stoker or plumber, these 12 men have almost as much to do with the temper of the students as the cook that makes the broth. It takes over 300 hours of student labor each week to supply the heat and light used by the college. Other industries and hours of stu- dent labor furnished respectively are: broom shop, 250 (employs 12); book- bindery, 265 (employs 8); pecan de- partment, 40 (employs 9); college mill, 200 (employs 6). Connected directly with administra- tion of student life, business detail, and classrooms are work hours per week: office, 225; bookstore, 20; North hall, 75; teachers' assistants, 250; jani- tor, 80; library, 110; South hall, 100. The night watchman, who practi cally meets the farmers going to work on his way to bed, spends about forty- five hours a week attending to his duties. He is the last known individual to wend his way homeward, and when his head falls on the pillow, Union's day is done. great antecedent ever did when re- turning from a victorious conquest of Gaul. The "wind dog," as the professor calls him, had a great feast for some time after his find of last month, but his "goose would be cooked" if ever the proprietor of the roast goose should find out who the -big bad wolf - really is. The professor stoutly maintains that Casar is not an habitual thief but that he did just what any other of his kind would do when presented with a chance to have a feast of a lifetime. Professor Jorgensen says people should keep temptation away from, home-loving dogs, such as Ca- sar. One cannot blame Professor Jorgen- sen for defending his body-guard. Casar constantly follows his master and shows devotion of the highest or- der. Editor's Note: Caesar, Prof. Jorgen- sen's airedale, is also claimed by all the pre-medics. The dog enters the class- room through a window if he cannot get in through the door. It is his inalien- able right to sit in on his master's lec- tures or to occupy his master's office adjoining the class room.

The two were gliding joyfully over the glassy surface when, without warning, the ice broke and both found themselves up to their waists among floating cakes of ice and up to their knees in mud. After vigorously splash- ing in the attempt to get onto some- thing more solid, the two mud bath- ers finally rolled themselves onto the ice, jumped sedately to their feet, and with affected composure began skat- ing back to the crowd, beauty-mud plastered on their 'mittens, skates, socks, and jackets. Whether the mud bathers enjoyed their beauty bath may be determined by other interested and curious bath- ers who may wish to start the new year in a healthy way. When firemen return home with their clothes frozen to their bodies they are considered heroes and gal- lant fighters, but all these two shiv- ering bathers received was a sound scolding and some advice which was warm enough to take off the chill. Union's Castle Lures Curious BY L. C. CHRISTENSEN The cold forlorn atmosphere of an empty house greets the occasional vis- itor to the old castle on the fifth floor of the college building. The rooms that were once the en- vied domain of the knights of the cas- tle now greet the visitor with great patches of bare lath resembling the vulture-picked ribs of a large animal. An unpainted strip of floor in the cen- ter of the hall is the sole reminder of the once boasted canpet that no other school home at Union offered its oc- cupants. The desire of poor humans to have their names written in large letters has been gratified by a few, who, when trusted with paint and brush to paint on the building, have indulged in that childish trait of painting the names of boys and girls upon the faded walls or carving a few initials upon the once smooth door casings. Sabbath school goal devices, storm doors, seed-corn testers, broken chairs, and the old class schedule board with its border of placards announcing down-town stores line the walls of the wide hall that served as a one-time parlor. One night in this parlor while the preceptor, with closed eyes of- fered prayer, each knight crept on all fours down the narrow carpet into an adjoining hall and then silently to their rooms, thus setting the record for quietness of adjourning from wor- ship. A few spiders have spun their webs on the uncurtained windows to catch the fly whose wonderlust has led 'him to explore empty dust-cover- ed rooms where his lazy buzz is the only sound on a summer day. Mold-encircling patches of faded wood bear silent testimony to neglect- ed holes in the roof that invited pas- sing rain-drops and shifting snow to leave trademarks among the initials and spoor 'of the knights and the fel- lows with the paint brushes. Thus we may see who helped to destroy the charm of a once popular dormi- tory. "When an office goes to a man's head it finds plenty of unoccupied space." C.

He is done with the medi- cal course, and he is done with getting into trouble because of the self-satis- fied smugness which sometimes goes with that achievement. Riding on a street-car one evening last week, he was seated beside a dapper, well-dressed young man who was idly looking at an open news- paper. "Care to look at the paper?" asked the young man amiably, passing it over to his scatmate. "No, thank .you," Nethery replied. "I was just glancing at that headline and thinking how very poorly it is written. Small town stuff." He noticed that the young man smiled slightly 'as he slipped the paper into his top-coat pocket and said, still very amiable, "You're right, by George! I was rushed for time on that head tonight. It isn't up to par." Who will begrudge Dr. Nethery the small satisfaction he may have re- ceived from an admirable show of that imperturbableness and coolnes s under fire, which after all, we expect from a man of his profession? Climbing Ladder Affords Benefits BY ESTHER REEDER Exploring the castle is one thing, but reaching the top of the clock tow- er is another. Strange, isn't it, that some students live in this vicinity year in and year out, yet never once ven- ture up to the most elevated and interesting spot on the campus. The old clock strikes hours and half hours with unfailing regularity, and still there are those who receive no in- clination to act the monkey and see the faithful old-timer in action. One climbs a ladder to success, and likewise to the clock tower. Where the attic steps leave off the 'ladder begins. One already has palpitations of the heart after making the long ascent of stairs, 'and it is a tempta- tion to content oneself by walking around on the roof and viewing the city. But another look at the ladder is a double dare to explore the regions beyond. Why not? It isn't far. So, step by step, one reaches the top. Then the thrill of thrills! to hear the click, click as dear old Ben is being wound for another week's stretch. The descent is more of a task than the ascent, but when one is safely down again, the happiness is worth the effort.

Mrs. Hartwell, formerly Iva Hamel, grad- uated from Union in 1925. Word has been received from Pas- tor and Mrs. I. V. Counsell, who are teaching in the Dixie academy, Gil- berton, Alabama, that their house and belongings were destroyed by fire January 20 while they were attend- ing the Sabbath service. Pastor Coun- sell was graduated from Union with the class of 1919. He and Mrs. Coun- sell formerly spent seven years as missionaries in Burma. TRAINING SCHOOL NEWS The seventh and eighth grades had their regular Junior Missionary Vol- unteer meeting January 31. They were entertained by a talk 'given by Mrs. Hartwell, missionary from China.

ERRATA Correcting inaccuracies in the Colo- rado write-up of two issues past: Duane Cowin, graduate in 1927, is principal of the Denver Junior acad- emy this year. His wife, Dorothy Whitnack-Cowin, also graduate of 1927, is the primary teacher in that school. Errors of this sort must inevitably creep in, as the staff has no absolute check on the residential shifts made by hundreds of graduates. THE CLOCK TOWER appreciates notifica- tion of such inaccuracies as the above and makes a conscientious effort to keep them at a reasonable minimum. Rodney Finney is to be associate editor on staff A and Wallace Neth- ery on Staff B, during the second se- mester, according to William Whit- son, president of THE CLOCK TOWER These places during the first semester have been filled by Gladys Munn and Louis Pettis respectively, but because of duties abundant in the senior year these have resigned their positions. Louise Olsen is to fill the vacancy left by Rodney Finney, who was hereto- fore assistant editor on Staff A. UNION'S STANDARDS RISE "Union is growing in more ways than one, and its scholastic standards are being raised higher than every be- fore," President Andreasen told stu- dents in chapel January 31. He continued his informal address by telling of the coming of the Ger- man department to Union next year and said that this would mean a ma- terial increase in the school's enrol- ment. The president urged students to hold to the high standards of the school, culturally as well as scholasti- cally. COLLINS A CHAPEL SPEAKER The time has come when we are needed to go out with the message that Jesus has come into our hearts and delivered us from sin, said Pastor D. E. Collins in the chapel service February 2. Colporteurs have an up-to-date method of telling of the Lord, he said. "We should have as much anxiety to tell others of our deliverance from sin as the foreigner who preached of .his new found faith on every corner un- til he was taken to jail, and continued singing even after the hose was turned on him," said Pastor Collins. Angels of the Lord, through pray- er, guide gospel workers to the doors of homes that are looking for the great message, the speaker declared. DOCTOR JOHNSON SPEAKS Showing that God loves and pro- tects mankind in its follies as well as in its faithfulness, Dr. A. W. John- son, at the vesper service in the chap- el February 2, related experiences of Elijah, the prophet of Biblical times. Strong association with God made Elijah's prayer on Mount Carmel for rain effective, the speaker asserted, and the miracle at that time' which ended the long drought caused the de- liverance of Israel from her apostasy. But Elijah had lost his close con- tact with God about the time he fear- fully fled from Jezebel, who threaten- ed his life, Doctor Johnson declared. Lack of faith in the Almighty made him afraid, said the speaker, yet even in the 'prophet's flight, the Lord mi- raculously supplied him with food and water. Elijah's experiences were written for the encouragement of men today, Doctor Johnson said. North Hall Club Girls Discuss Tri-Standards The intellectual, social and relig- ious standards at Union college were discussed at Kappa Theta Wednesday night by Mae Sorensen, Louise Olsen, and Florence Longwell. Girls should be able to think for themselves, said Miss Sorensen in discussing the intellectual side of school life. She stressed that one 'al- so should be able to choose the right subjects, including literature and mu- sic. In discussing social standards, Miss Olsen read excerpts from two well- known writers. According to Emily Post, etiquette is necessary in order to make the world a more pleasant place in which to live. Margaret Slattery's story "The Line on the Wall" was a challenge to all to keep high the social. standards at Union. Miss Longwell discussed the spir- itual phase of school life, she assert- ing that the spiritual background one acquires in school binds friends and gives one a broader and fuller life. Feminine charm was summed up in a song by Pearl Fairchild, "The Lass With the Delicate Air," by Arne. Officers of Kappa Theta this se- mester are: Helen Foreman, presi- dent; Olivia Brickman, vice-president; Thelma Nanney, secretary; Alice Nel- son, assistant secretary; Jeanette Mc- Kibben and Ruth Johnson, critics; and Elizabeth Anderson, * sergeant-at-arms. Pastor Yost Advocates Intimacy with Christ Showing the need of a true doctrine in the life of a Christian, Pastor Frank H. Yost spoke to the congre- gation of the College View church February 3, by referring to John 17:3 for his scriptural topic. The dis- course of his sermon pointed out that one must find God through the Scrip- tures and have a thorough knowledge of God and his son, Jesus Christ. "Eternal life is living with God," said the speaker; "it is the basis of eternal life. Christ spent his time on earth for the purpose of making God clear. The true Christian must be in- timate with Christ in order to attain the fine art of living." There must be no vagaries about the true doctrine, declared Pastor Yost, referring to the passage "Ye know not what ye worship." The speaker pointed out that the Seventh-day Adventist church wor- ships according to righteousness by faith and that the Sabbath reveals God to the individual. Doctrines that mean anything must definitely affect the life, said Pastor Yost, for man's conception of God will shape his liv- ing. The reasons for accepting the truth are to indicate the difference, accord- ing to the speaker, between "I keep the Sabbath, expecting to be saved" and "Being saved, I keep the Sab- bath." Through the acceptance of doctrine, men are brought into com- plete harmony with God, he' pointed out. Sabbath as Memorial Presented in Dialogue Historical aspects of the Sabbath, from creation through the apostolic age, were presented by Joseph Ny- lander in the form of a Bible study dialogue at the Gospel Workers' sem- inar Friday evening. Mr. Nylander said that the Sabbath was made at the time of creation and that the creator of the world and the Sabbath was Christ. He emphasized the fact that keeping the Sabbath is essential in the life of a Christian. Great calamities have come because of the violation of the Sabbath, the speaker stated, as he pointer out the importance of observing it. The characters in the dialogue were: Rodney Finney, Beatrice Ross, Joseph Nylandcr, and Theodore Torkelson. The purpose of the dialogue was to instruct in giving Bible studies in the home, according to Arthur Bietz, leader. "Profit and Loss" and its relation- ship to the Christian was presented by James Van Divier at the Gospel Workers' seminar February 2. The speaker declared that many people are selling their souls for styles, popularity, and Mammon; many have become servants of Satan, showing by intemperate living that he is a hard taskmaster. "What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" the speaker asked. To Christ, the soul of a man is more valuable than the entire world, he continued, and the little pleasure obtained from this world cannot compare with eter- nal life. Wealth does not bring peace, for true peace can come only from Christ, Mr. Van Divier pointed out. The individual who refuses to ac- cept the peace that Christ offers will find great loss, the speaker declared; he will not only lose eternal life but he will also be punished for selling his soul. The speaker urged that a de- cision for Christ be made and that eternal life be accepted. STUDENTS HEAR ENSEMBLE Songs and a short cantata were giv- en by the Vocal ensemble, with Mrs. Stanley Ledington as soloist, in chap- el February 9. Prof. Stanley Ledington, who direct- ed the program, told interesting facts about the composers who wrote the selections sung. Felix Mendelssohn's short cantata, "Hear My Prayer," in which Mrs. Ledington sang the ac- companying obligato, was the first number. Next, the ensemble sang "Vale of Tuoni," by the Finnish com- poser, Sibelius. Mrs. Ledington then sang "With Verdure Clad," by Haydn, and "Hills of Gruzia," by the Russian composer, Mednikoff, "Blow, Winds, Blow," an arrangement of Rachmaninof's "Prelude in C-sharp Minor," was the final nuftiber and was sung by the ensemble. "Kickers don't pull and pullers don't kick." Vocal Ensemble Sings Mendelssohn Cantata The Union College Vocal ensemble, under the direction of Prof. Stanley Ledington, sang the cantata, "Hear My Prayer," by Mendelssohn, in a program at the College View church February 4. The Ensemble was assisted by Esther Lorntz-Ledington, soprano, and Carl C. Engel, violinist. "Ave Veraum Curpes," by Mozart, was the opening number, followed by "At Evening Bring Us Home," in which Mrs. Gordon Smith and Harold Schmidt sang solos. "Send Forth Thy Spirit," a composition in eight-part 'harmony, "Jesus Meek and Lowly," "Vale of Tuoni," and "Blow, Winds, Blow" were other selections sung by the Ensemble. Harold Schmidt sang, "Lord Jesus, Think on Me," and a mixed quartet, composed of Doris Kirstein, Pearl Fairchild, Winfield Eden, and Har- old Schmidt sang, "Bells Over Jordan." STATES DOCTRINE Yost Discusses Death in Relation to Adventist Belief Discussing the state of the dead and its importance in Adventist belief, Pastor F. H. Yost stated in the Fri- day evening vesper service that much present-day error would not be propa- gated if Christ's words were follow- ed. The earthly man, into whom God breathed the breath of life and from whom the breath of life returns to God at death, has during death no earthly contacts, according to Pastor Yost, and he must rest in the grave until the resurrection before receiving his reward from Christ. The belief that at death the individ- ual enters into a new experience in some other' plade' such as heaven or purgatory, is a fallacy because, if such were the case, no resurrection would be necessary, the speaker de- clared. The Adventist belief concerning this point, stated Pastor Yost, is an im- portant part of the preaching of God's word. This doctrine teaches one to depend on God to the fullest extent, he stated, and also to have a firmer faith in believing that whatever has been done or can be done is the re- sult of the gift of God. Village M. V.'s Review Reading Course Books Brief sketches of the four junior reading course books were presented in the meeting of the village Mission- ary Volunteer society Sabbath after- noon in the church. Esther Nelson read excerpts from the book, "The Fine Art of Living Together." She emphasized the fact that many youths spend years in ob- taining a knowledge of music, his- tory, and other subjects, but spend little or no time in studying how to make and keep a happy home. Lida Mae Shadel related a portion of the experience, as told in the book, "Out of the Depths," of a young man who became a menace to society be- cause of his habitual drinking. Elmer Robertson spoke of the third book of the reading course, "God's Out of Doors." He said that the book brings nature closer to the read- er and produces a greater appreciation of nature. The fourth book, "Adventures in the Air," was championed by Helmut Wakeham. gave a short sketch on the beginning of balloons by two French brothers.

Union College, North Hall Lincoln, Nebraska February 14, 1934 Dear Classmates of 1928: I, at last, am going to attempt writ- ing a letter to everyone of you. To- night I really have a breathing spell, I feel. Shall I tell you why? Well, you remember how I loved to study, to contemplate, to ponder, etc? That's why I am going to the University this year! I have finished one semes- ter and have enjoyed my work thor- oughly. My only regret is that I don't have as many pages written for my thesis as I wrote during my exam- inations last week. As you notice by the heading of my letter, we're diving in North hall this year. We have three rooms on the north end of the building, direct- ly above the girl's worship room. Mr. Larimore doesn't seem to mind the lo- cation at all! Here I am just writing and writing, and haven't said one word of worth; after all that's the way a great many of our class meetings were conducted, weren't they? Some of these old feuds and phrases still linger, des- pite, the years which have passed. Such a time we had concerning our white sweaters—some thought them non-collegiate, and others of us were just young enough to want them any- way. Oh, years, and the arrangement we improvised for our class-night program. Really, none other has ev- er come up to ours, scholastically, or otherwise. Was it you, Mr. Cow- drick, who thought all of that out— rippling water over rocks, the old Greek refrain idea? At any rate, it was unique, wasn't it? I wonder how many of us remember the idea of that program. Wasn't it the presentation of qualities which one must have in order to be of service to the world? Of course Mr. Cowdrick read the poem presenting the attribute, "Know- ledge"—"Life! and the morning ofit." Do you remember? Yes, and Mr. Lindt, you'll remember "Truth!" "What is Truth?" asked the ancient skeptic of one who was Himself the way, the truth, and the life?" And then I arose, frightened beyond doubt, buit I tried to realize the stateliness of the occasion, and remembering that I was was a college senior, began in a falsetto voice, "When in the mystic mazes long ago." Yes, I can still re- peat several lines. "Love, the urge for the greatest good," was presented by Opal Rogers-Lynn, and Geneva appeared with her paper "Service." I could go on and on, but you remember all of this. Then commencement night arrived. We received our degrees. We obtained what we had worked for. Now that we had it, we didn't want it; we hated the thoughts of not returning to Union the next fall. We all loved our alma mater, and I know that I speak for each member when I say that we cherish each sacred mem- ory of our school days here. We will not cause our school to become asham- ed of us but will join in a mental chain of reconsecreation, devoting our lives anew for the one service which we know to be right. I think one of the things that we should regret, however, is that we never started a class letter. Just the other morning Alice Sornsson-Gilbert knocked at my door. Alice has a sis- ter, Ethel, in school here this year, Subterraneous Tunnels Cross Union Campus BY RODNEY FINNEY JR. A journey under' the campus of Union college! How many want to go? Do you think it is impossible? If you do you are mistaken, for, strange as it may seem to most of the stu- dents, there is a system of subter- ranean thoroughfares beneath the campus of Old Union. The writer remembers how he sud- denly popped through one of the man- holes leading into the tunnel one day just as a fair co-ed was passing by. Needless to say she was surprised, and a not too gentle scream rent the air as she dashed thence. The tunnel is used to house the steampipes which dead from building to building and which have their ori- gin in the power-house. Having spent most of the working hours of a Christ- mas vacation laboring in this tunnel, and incidentally she looks just like Al- ice. Then, of all the thousands of pe- people to see at the "Century of Prog- ress" this summer! Mr. Larimore and I ran right into Geneva and her hus- band, Mr. and Mrs. Skinner. Married life has most assuredly agreed with Geneva, saying nothing about the rest of us. I also had a long visit with Jeanette Hawley-Anderson this past summer. She got out her 1928 annual, and that is all I need to say here. You can imagine what we did for the next thirty minutes or so. I must close, 'having written more than I should. Really, What about a class letter? I'm going to give you all of the information I have concern- ing our classmates. Geneva, start the letter, won't you? Then check the number that you wrote to and so on, do you see? If anyone can fill in the addresses, do that too, but be sure to check the number s so the letters won't be duplicated.

There is the list; please fill it in won't you, and pass it on? I'll be anx- ious to hear more about all of you, but until then, Most sincerely, EDDA REES-LARIMORE I can speak from intimate acquain- tance with its topography. Economy was evidently the watchword in the construction of the tunnels, as one can- not stand erect in them. Added to this, the space is further restricted by a number of steam pipes. It is very warm and comfortable down there, although ventilation is not all that might be desired. As may be expected, the wild life of the tunnels is numerous and varied. Spiders, mice, and rats gallop hither and yon, having very little respect for the toiler in the bowels of the earth. In spite of the romantic attraction of such a spot, very little desire is left in one's heart for a second visit. But the old tunnels are there, and you can see the location traced on the sod on a frosty morning where the steam pipes have kept the ice from forming. "Have you prayed today? It helps."
