VoL. XVII LINCOLN, NEBRASKA. WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1942 Service Roster Is Dedicated Du ring Chapel Hour Space on Board for 104 Men From Union College A service roster for the names of all Union college men entering the army was dedicated at a special program in chapel, April 27. First the Medical Cadet corps marched in and were seated at the front. As the bugler played "To the Colors," the flag was brought in and the audience stood at attention. Glenn Wiltse briefly outlined the his• tory of the roster. The idea originated with Dr. E. N. Dick, founder of the DR. E. N. DICK Medical Cadet corps, and now General Conference director of cadet training, and at his suggestion a committee composed of Dr. R. W. Woods, Mr. G. P. Stone, and Mr. R. J. DeVice was appointed to study the matter. Dean Laurence was appointed to compile the names which should appear. Dr. E. N. Dick, addressing the students, said, "We honor those men, who in the defense of their country, carry on the best traditions of Union college." Others speaking were Dean Laurence, and Walter Crawford, Elder Rowland offered the dedicatory prayer and the service was closed with the singing of the national anthem. The board, which has space for 104 names, is made of brown plywood. At the top, on either side of the United States seal, are burnt the words: "For God and Country" and "Union Never Forgets Her Own." Women's Worship Room Undergoes Renovation Without previous warning, the radia- tors and pipes resounded with even a louder clamor than usual. Sounds of pounding issued from below the floor, and some one outside the door squealed, "Right here! Just look! You can see into the worship room." An investiga- tion proved that this remark was true. But why? What was going on anyhow? An errand down the back stairs and a peek into the worship room was enlight- ening. Perched up on a ladder, with fallen plaster covering the floor around him, sat Tom Oden. He was the only one in sight, but evidence indicated the possibility of the presence of at least Gor- don Schlanker and Lawrence Rahn. The identity of any others has not as yet been verified. Sometimes above the din of the pound- ing rose the not too harmonious notes of a song or a "round." Perhaps this was to add variety to the other noise. To say the least, it provided entertainment for first-floor occupants. Behind all this confusion and the in- convenience of using the parlor for wor- ship lies the fact that the worship room in North hall is being remodeled and redecorated. The ceiling is being re- plastered, and the entire room will be painted an eggshell color; a new floor is (See Worship Room p. 2, col, 1) HARTMAN LEADS LINCOLN DRIVE FOR $15,000 The drive for $15,000 in the city of Lincoln for the new recreation hall has been nicely started, and a number of large gifts have been received. Mr. Hart- man, assisted by President Rulkoetter, and other members of the staff, is doing the work of solicitation. Construction on the gymnasium is progressing well and it is hoped to have all the masonry work com- pleted in four or five weeks. Juniors and Seniors Singing "God Bless America" R No. 16. Aitken Discusses Poetry of Burns Pastor of St. Paul's Originally from Scotland "That Robert Burns is the best repre- sentative of that which is finest and noblest in the Scottish people is the opin- ion of those who read and love his poetry," was the statement of Dr. Walter Aitken, for twenty-two years pastor of St. Paul's Methodist church, in an ad- dress given in chapel, April 24. Dr. Aitken, originally from Scotland, and a devotee of the works of Robert Burns, read a number of his poems, giv- ing their settings and the conditions under which they were written. His poetry, which has elements of enthusiasm, melody, thought, and feeling, is of especial inter- est to the common people, dealing as it does with their everyday joys and sorrows. Reading Burns' famous poem, "A Man's a Man for A' That," he pointed out the poet's enthusiasm for the value of the individual, and stated that the poem, in his estimation, was an expression of genius. And his "Scots Wha Hae Wi' Wallace Bled" has been called the great- est utterance on the subject of human liberty ever written. Among his love poems all phases of passion are expressed: felicity, anguish, tears of parting, be- trothals, separations, the birth of children, the happy home. He read "John Ander- son, My Jo, John" as an example of one of the best-loved love poems. "There are other poets who are greater, but none of them has the heart, the sym- pathy, of Burns. But, in order to fully appreciate the man, we must become ac- quainted with his life, and with the con- dition of the times in which he lived. He is as much of a poet through his per- sonality as through his art," said Dr. Ait- ken in conclusion. M. V. Investiture Held For Progressive Classes Investiture service was held Sabbath afternoon, May 2, for those in the pro- gressive classes who had completed the work for the various pins. Those receiving master comrade pins were: Mary Barger, Mavis Betts, Mercedes Bernal, Jack Bowers, Hugh Coy, Gideon Haas, Evelyn Halverson, Roy Henneberg, Delmer Holbrook, Estella Lang, Lorrayne Lang, LeRoy Leiske, Eileen Mayberry, James Pogue, Lois Turner, Rosella Wiede- mann, Ruth Wightman. Floyd Buchmiller, Monita Caviness, Alta Davis, Michael Kostenko, Peter Kostenko, Lillian Mantz, and Wayne Ol- son received companion pins. Einor Berlin, Avis Erickson, Vernon Gunderson, Goldie Krogstad, Dorothy Leslie, Gerald McHenry, Ora McLean, Ralph Maddox, and Ella Schmidt received friend pins. Women's Business Club Tours Industries The Axis Business and Professional Women's club, an organization of busi- ness women in Lincoln, made a tour of various Union college industries, Tuesday, April 23. Mr. Hartman and Mr. DeVice acted as guides, displaying the equipment and the various products made in the Don Love furniture factory, now employ- ing about 5'0 men and 8 women, and in the broom factory, employing about 15 men. ENTERPRISE SENIORS VISIT AT UNION The senior class of Enterprise academy from Kansas visited at the college, April 29 to 30. Accompanying the class were: R. R. Newman, principal, Mrs. R. R. Newman, and Miss Marybelle Huffman, preceptress. On Wednesday evening, an entertainment was given for them in North hall parlor. Thursday they visited classes, toured the industries, and did some sightseeing in the city. A good substitute for brains is si- lence. Junior-Senior Banquet Held at Cornhusker The Senior class of 1942 were guests of the Junior class at an informal dinner given in the Cornhusker hotel the evening of April 23. Following the invitation, which was a draft summons, the entire evening was centered around the life of an army draftee. The class first met in Room 301 of the Administration building for the roll call. Each Senior was identified by some name, such as, "William—I-don't-look-intelligent- but-look-at-my-grade-card — Grotheer," or "Margaret — I'll-have-to-get-this-for-the- CLOCK-TOWER — Blue," or "Marie — my- man-got-caught-in-the-draft—Sanders." Jeeps were waiting outside the Admin- istration building in which the Senior class was conveyed to the induction cen- ter, or better known, as the Cornhusker hotel. The most exciting feature about the jeep ride was knowing that it wouldn't turn over even if Francis Wernick was driving. James Chase, master of ceremonies, first told about how Dean Laurence used to have to wait on his date back in the horse and buggy days, and then intro- duced Charles Lickey who gave the wel- come to the Senior class and explained how that army life is sometimes quite exciting. Glenn Wiltse, who is an officer in the Medical Cadet corps, gave a demonstra- tion of drilling. He was really at a dis- advantage, however, because his new re- cruits didn't prove to be very receptive to learning. They were Ernest Rogers, Max Eckert, Roy Henneberg, and Gideon Haas. Before the drill was finished, in spite of everything, the boys could stand up straight and give a salute. The master of ceremonies then intro- duced Dr. G. D. Hagstotz who read the all favorite "Boots." After the reading, Ernest Rogers shined boots while James Stevens sang and played his guitar. Ernest would make some captain a very efficient as well as interesting shoe shiner. All evenings have to have the sad as well as the hilarious. So the evening of the Junior-Senior dinner. The campus tragedy of the second semester was brought to life and "Lord Byron" was once again honored by having her funeral reenacted. The mourners evidently were paid—to say the least—they did an excellent job of shedding tears, and Arlene Church got so upset that the Seniors really almost thought "Lord Byron" was living her sec- ond life and having her second funeral. Charles Lickey made a most comforting officiator, too. While Ernest Rogers was making his beat, he began wishing for songs he'd heard before. It was then that Herbert Hohensee sang "On the Road to Manda- lay" and "White Cliffs of Dover." Roy Henneberg and Glenn Wiltse, while in camp one evening, began reading an advanced edition of the CLOCK TOWER, and then as Unionists always do, began to reminisce. Norman Krogstad played "Le Secret" and Dr. Hagstotz read "Charge of the Light Brigade" at his best. While reminiscing, the boys recalled Clar- ence Duffield's tire episode, Fabian Meier's pet diversion of pulling trollets, the Kicenski-Cronk Sigma Iota Kappa cam , paign and last, but not least, the Dean's trip to Texas. James Chase retold the experience of the Confederate-Federal army when men (See Jr, Sr. Banquet p. 2, col. 2) Medical Cadet Men Receive Promotions Public Demonstration To Be Held May 20 Culminating its instructional program for the year, the Union college Medical Cadet corps has been engaged in a variety of field exercises during recent weeks. A four-hour hike and maneuver in Rob- erts Park, April 10, afforded an oppor- tunity to practice extended order litter drill, signal communications, and the prin- ciples of cover and concealment and de- fense against air attacks. April 17 the cadet unit, divided into litter squads, had a daytime exercise in the work of the Bearer Section, Collect- ing Platoon, Collecting Company, Medical Battalion, in clearing the field of the wounded, and on April 19 the corps re- peated the exercise, including administer- ing first aid to the wounded, at night. Two complete battalion medical sections were organized, one under Lieutenants Kemper and Holbrook, the other under Lieutenants Hohensee and Nordstrom, and on April 24 two battalion aid stations were set up, with litter bearer and com- pany aid groups operating toward the front. On May 1 an abbreviated collecting company was combined with one bat- talion medical section and in an extensive field exercise these units evacuated and administered first aid and emergency treat- ment to a wide variety of casualties under simulated battle conditions. The following temporary appointments to posts as cadet officers and non-com- missioned officers were announced April 19: Cadet Captain, Cadet Commander, Glenn Wiltse; Cadet Second Lieutenants, Chaplain, Paul Kemper; Adjutant and Finance Officer, Herbert Hohensee; Per- sonnel Officer, Delmer Holbrook; Supply Officer, Edward Nordstrom. Cadet First Sergeant, Lawrence Rahn; Cadet Staff Sergeants, Earl Cleek•, Ora McLean; Cadet Sergeants, Vernon Burge- son, Wayne Moore; Cadet Corporals, Kenneth Wenberg, Peter Kostenko, David Claridge, Charles Seitz, Michael Kostenko, Wayne Olson, Gerald Lien, James Pogue. Other men were appointed Private First Class, and Acting Corporals. A public field demonstration is con- ternplated for the afternoon of May 15, and the afternoon of May 20 a final pub- lic demonstration and parade will be held at which cadet commissions and warrants will be awarded for the academic year 1941-42. Registrar Entertains Faculty Members True to her promise, Miss Lea, the registrar, entertained the members of the faculty on the evening of April 26, in room 301 of the Administration building. The purpose was to celebrate a very notable achievement of the faculty, name- ly, the time that every teacher had his semester grades in on time. After games and light refreshments, Dean Howell presented Miss Lea with a rose-colored chenille bedspread, a gift of the faculty. FLASH— Mr. Stone has announced that he will have some news for the next issue of the CLOCK TOWER — the examination grades of the faculty in their Red Cross first-aid course. All Are "Well Red" On Day After Picnic "Is Union college having a holiday today?" "Yes, sir! It's our annual school pic- nic." And Union college did picnic last Tues- day—en masse. The social committee, whose chairman is Miss Pearl Rees, planned a well-organized program which continued from 9:00 a. m. until 8:00 p. m. Students left the campus in all manners and means—and should I add—attires. Some rode in the trucks provided by the school; some hitch-hiked by riding in their friends' private cars; some rode bi- cycles; and believe it or not, some walked. And regarding the attires. There were first graders, cow-boys, cow-girls, athletes, and Dr. Dick—wearing his Texas Cen- tennial hat. Baseball was the outstanding game at the picnic. The freshmen won in the freshman-sophomore game, and the sen- iors won the junior-senior game. When the two winning teams, the freshmen and the seniors played, the freshmen carried off the honors. The races took place in the late after- noyn. Miss Rees gave the winners white satin badges. The winners of the races were as follows: Men's 100-yard dash—Lindy DeGinder. Women's 50-yard dash—Lola Jane Rowland. Faculty men's 100-yard dash—Dr. Og- den. Men's sack race—Don Nash. Women's sack race—Lola Jane Row- land. Men's three-legged race—Dale Aalborg, Gordon Schlanker. Women's three-legged race — Eileen Mayberry, Haziel Clifford. Men's ball-throwing contest — Fabian Meier. Men's pie-eating contest-- -Chester Nor- man. Girls' ball-throwing contest—Lola Jane Rowland. Men's relay race—Alvin Gable, sopho- more; Charles Seitz, freshman. Men's high jump—Wayne French. Men's broad jump, 18 feet, 10 inches— Bill Strom. As further proof of Union college in- telligence and Dr. Jorgensen's annual pic- nic joke, all students on the following morning did look "well red." Demonstration School Presents Narrative In Musical Selection Sunday afternoon, April 26, the demon- stration school music students under the supervision of Mrs. H. C. Hartman pre- sented a recital in the form of a musical narrative. The narrative, which involves an excursion to Woodcreek park, pre- sented the activities engaged in, and the musical selections portrayed the happen- ings and sights of the outing. The in- spiration of this idea came to Mrs. Hart- man and was worked out with the aid of her sister, Mrs. Fowler, and was read, interspersed by the instrumental numbers, as they fitted the story, by Miss Kathleen Robb. Woodcreek park contained all the en- joyments of an especially beautiful spot. Young hearts were thrilled to hear the musical portrayals of the brook in the center of the park, the soldiers on parade, the appearance of butterflies, flowers, and skaters, and the tales of a Russian ro- mance, of wood-nymphs with harps, of pageants, and of the robin's return. All of these and more were portrayed by the following performers: Evelyn Schmidt, Ada Zehm, Thelma Twing, LaRue Vet - - (See Music students p, 2, col. 2) College Artists Display Varied Work in Library An art exhibit was on display in the first floor hall of the library from April 28 to 30 under the direction of Virginia Lohmann. The exhibit included pencil portraits by Virginia Lohmann; pencil sketches and oil paintings by Lindy De- Cinder; paintings of flowers and pencil sketches by Mercedes England; oil paint- ings by Lillian Rivinius; painted bowls by Claire Lien; tapestries, woodburning, soap carving, and copper topping from members of the manual arts class; and other works of art. , ;........x.x.x.x.x..........x.:. c#, Calvert St. Pharmacy X k 1 i~i n X 4740 Calvert St. 4-22426 r4 11 • Try Walt's Home Style Malts • Where Friends Meet Friends And dine on Quality Foods ° BRINTON'S LUNCH • 4740 Prescott r4.

C. club at Union is proud, and duly so. The other day Dean Laurence, sponsor of the club, received a letter from the Division of Inter- course and Education of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace asking if the I. R. C. club would consider extending an invitation to the Mississippi Valley International Relations club conference at Union in the spring of 1943. This club comprises the states of Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. This year the con- ference was held at the University of Minnesota on May 1 to 2. Unionites are proud of thus having received recognition of their I. R. C. club, and wish to extend congratulations to Dean Laurence as sponsor, and Francis Wernick as president of the largest club in the college. ARE YOU PATRIOTIC? Patriotism means more than saying three cheers for America. It means more than just wishing the boys good luck as they are called into the services, or merely a big display as the band parades by playing "The Star Spangled Banner." But, to be truly patriotic, we must be loyal to our duty all the time. Patriotism does not come just on the spur of the moment. No matter what we, as citizens of the United States, are doing it is our patriotic duty to do it well. If you are in school, you can help America by preparing for the future in an honest endeavor. Students, Union is just as patriotic as you make it. Instead of spending your money for something you could get along without, sacrifice some of these things and huy defense stamps which are on sale in the halls. A little sacrifice never hurt anyone. In fact, as the ex- pression goes, sacrificing may "make a man out of you!" So while you are helping build America you are also building yourself. Building yourself means you are building your character, and the character you build will determine your future success or failure. Since you are interested in your- self and your country just do your honest part—and you know what part that is. Page 2 CLOCK TOWER WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1942 MOTHER'S DAY FLODA SMITH Mother's day—what do the words mean to you? Do they mean a day of mem- ories, of pleasant times with Mother and Dad at the old home? Do they mean a day of thankfulness to God for parents who have loved and still love you, who have cared for you in the past, and are definitely interested in your present and future? Do they bring a well of happi- ness as you realize that your parents are counting on you, counting on you to make good in school and in life - -r..;nting on you to be a successful nurse, doctor, minister, teacher, business man or woman, homemaker, or soldier? Yes, Mother's day should mean all this and more to you and to me. God has chosen to manifest His love to man- kind in Mother-love and Father-love, a love which passeth understanding. Before you close your eyes tonight, offer up a prayer of thanks to God for your parents, all they have meant in the past, and mean to you now, won't you? SENIOR Last but not least on the list of seniors is Francis Wernick from Lake City, Iowa, who is well known in the college for his geniality. At present he is president of I. R. C., and first semester he was treas- urer of the senior class. His name will appeal along with nine other of Union's students in the Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. After graduation he will be going to Rugby, N. Dak., to start in work as an interne. (Worship room, cont. from p. 1, col. 5) to be laid including a raised platform; new light fixtures will be installed, and new rugs placed on the floor. This process of remodeling is like a headache—it will be so good when it is all over! (Packing, cont. from p. 4, col. 3) try to pack over-ripe bananas. When school is out and all your be- longings are packed and you are in the process of. being wedged into the car with all your quilts, coat hangers, and your iron and ironing board on top of you, you will be glad that you followed our advice and packed all your belong- ings before the last day of school. It is dangerous to pack on the last day of school. In the excitement you may even become locked into your own trunk.

None of the group that left Union on my memorable birthday came here. However, a friend I knew in Wichita, Lester Ball, and my brother and' I came down from Leavenworth together, and are in the same company. Martin Bird, Milton Bicek, and Emery Hoyt were at Sabbath school in Little Rock yesterday. It was good to see some more Unionites again. I saw Squeak Hilliard up town last night. He's leaving for southern California presently. I want to sincerely thank you for the reading kit. It has been very handy. I've added a few leaflets and stationery. I should be glad to hear from you. I may not be able to write to each one, but I want to keep in touch with Union as long as I can. All of you may be gone when and if I am permitted to return, but I'll always remember my Union friends. Lester Calkins: Camp Robinson, Ark. Army life is as much fun as any hard job. I don't like snap jobs, so it might he said that I enjoy it here. All the food here is cooked in vegetable shortening and is quite good. Meat is served at every meal, but I have plenty without it. I did not have a lot of trouble the first two weeks to get to church on an all-day pass. This last Sabbath I had a little difficulty. I did not get to leave camp, but I did not drill or attend classes as the regular schedule is. The colonel in charge of this regiment did command me to fall out for drill and told me to take a rifle. I very politely informed him I could not, so here, I am in the guard house. The fellows in my barracks all think I had a bad deal to be put here, but I am not suffering from it. They all respect me for the life I am living. Your box arrived soon after I was placed in here. Walter (Page) is here with me so we will share the contents. Stanley Jensen: Bldg. 335 Co. B 2nd Q. M. R. Ft. F. E. Warren, Wyo. I was working for Eastern Air Lines when the war started. The government called all men to join the air corps if they had a pilot's license and an instructor's rating. I joined the next day. I now have several hundred hours in the air solo. I fly at least 2 1 / 2 hours a day, some- times much more. It gets tiresome, I as- sure you. I'm being transferred the 29th of April to a Basic School somewhere in Texas. Please have everyone of my old friends write me. I'll answer every letter. This army life isn't an easy one. Please thank Kappa Theta for the won- derful box of cookies. All the boys in my barrack liked them. Some girls there will make some lucky "guys" good wives. Keep writing to me this address, my mail will be forwarded. Melvin C. Franklin: U. S. Army Air Corps Elementary Training School Corsicana, Tex. This is part of a letter written to Drs.

A transfer (Alumni, cont. from p.4, col, 1) ALTUS HAYES, class of '41, has been for some time accountant at Adelphian academy in Michigan, but is reported to be entering the army in a short time. JESSE WILLIAMSON, class of '40, has opened up a series of meetings in Beatrice, Nebraska. Two weeks ago the city auditorium was filled and people had to be turned away, and soon afterwards there were two meetings held the same evening to accommodate the crowds. HOWARD J. WELCH, class of '27, is now dean of Madison college in Ten- nessee. RUDOLPH JOHNSON, class of '29, is teaching at Southern Junior col- lege, and at the same time attending George Peabody University in Nashville. THEODORA WIRAK, class of '36, is also teaching at Southern Junior college, and on her way to attend a convention in Chicago she came around by way of Union to spend a few days visiting old friends. HAZEL BERG, class of '28, is spending a year at home in Hudson, S. D., after teaching for several years. She visited BLANCHE GILBERT MOORE, class of '30, recently in College View.

He was accompanied by a number of former students: Mary Mc- Broom Shunk with her husband and young son, Stanley Hill, and Ellen Priest. WAL- TER WILL, class of '41, has been at- tending the seminary in Washington this past winter. He passed through College View the other day on his way to Shel- ton academy, where he will take the place of Orville Iverson who is leaving to take up his work as a ministerial interne in Dakota. Walter says that Mrs. IVAMAE SMALL HILTS, class of '28, is teaching in Washington, and that once in a while he saw several other former Unionites, such as Stephen Youngberg, Kenneth Berry, and Lee Holloway. ARTHUR RAFF, class of '40, is in the medical division of the army and is located at a hospital in El Paso, Tex., where he does secretarial work. Thelma Brewer Johnson dropped in from Elm Creek, Neb., the other day for a visit with Violet Eastin and Helen Johnson. Adrian Lauritzen, teacher of music at Maplewood academy, and Wesley Unterseher, minister in Minnesota, accom- panied the Maplewood seniors on their recent visit to Union. LOREN MAT- THEWS, class of '40, and ANNA LEE SHEPHERS MATTHEWS, class of '27, also accompanied the group. MER- RILL SMITH, class of '30, and J. A. TUCKER, class of '27, accompanied the Oak Park group which was here at the same time as the Maplewood group. Mamie McNeilus, a former student, is now a nurse in the Bryan Memorial hospital in Lincoln. She took her training at the Paradise Valley sanitarium in Cali- fornia. Marshall Miller, a former student, has just completed his work for the Master of Science degree at the University of Nebraska and is leaving at once for the east where he is planning to work in a plant of the Monsanto Chemical Com- pany. Helen Meyer Miller, also a former student, will continue her work at the Orthopedic hospital until the summer be- fore joining Mr. Miller. MRS. FLORA MOYERS, class of '32, former critic teacher in the elementary school at Union and now holding a similar position at Southwestern Junior college, has an article in the latest number of THE JOURNAL OF TRUE EDUCATION. The title of the article is, "Spare the Rod." Better read it. Also appearing in the same issue is an article by PAUL T. GIBBS, class of '19, who is professor of English at Washington Missionary college. Once again I come to the end of my supply of information on Union's alumni. Hurry up, Unionites, and make some news! to some Med Corps Training camp would take another three weeks as they have had to rewrite it so many times, so I thought best to stay here. Too, I would perhaps not get any closer home. Chester Wahleen: Co. "H" 14th S. S. Regt. Fort Monmouth, Red Bank, N. J. :• • Real Estate • • Insurance • • • E. A.

Here's howt to make them: Stereoscope views are pictures, not quite but almost alike, mounted on one card. One of the pictures is a 'left-' and the other a 'right-eye' view; then the Stereoscope puts both pictures into one, giving the 3-dimension or depth effect of real- ism. Although Professional views are made with special stero-cameras yet any two good cameras exactly (and we heartily recommend one) alike placed side by side with their lenses DA to 4 inches apart will make real good pictures. When mounting the prints, some 'key' ob- ject in the background of each pic- ture should be selected for refer- ence point to align the prints by. These identical key objects should usually be mounted 3-inches apart. Each key object must be some distance from bottom of mounting card, whatever that distance is.

M OIL DAVIS SCHOOL SERVICE 643 Stuart Bldg., Lincoln, Wallah WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1942 CLOCK TOWER Three Of Union's Seniors To Graduate With Honors With Distinction MILDRED PAGE Mildred Page will receive her diploma with the other seniors this year, but un- like most of them, she will graduate with distinction. French is her major and history her minor, so she is doing student teaching in English. She first came to Union on May 1, 1937, and has spent every summer and winter here since then. Seventeen days is the longest stretch that she has been away from the school since that day in May. Not one cent of cash has had to go into the business office for her expense as she has worked all of her way in the laundry. Few seniors could equal her record of not having had to take any work by correspondence, independent study, or re- ceiving any cuts while upper division students. One hour of C's is all that her transcript will show and this was for a history topic which Mr. Bresee has been holding up before later history students as a model. "What did you think of these exams?" the reporter asked, but only received the reply that such information was not pub- lishable, so anyone interested will have to ask her privately. Cadets Have Banquet For weeks, yes, for several months, we girls looked forward to—and sincerely hoped to be invited to—the annual Med- ical Cadet corps entertainment given in honor of the women. At last, the evening arrived! The men, resplendent in their uniforms, escorted their ladies to the chapel where they were received by Captain and Mrs. Crawford, Cadet Captain Wiltse, Chaplain Kemper, 2nd Lieutenants Ho- hensee, Holbrook, and Nordstrom. A pro' gram of music and plays followed, then the group went to the dining room where Mr. Hartman gave a brief glimpse of the progress of the M. C. C. since its found- ing by Major Dick in 1933 here at Union college. After refreshments. Major Dick brought encouraging news from the boys in camps. To all appearances, Captain Crawford was tremendously surprised when Cadet Cap- tain Wiltsc presented to him a suitcase from the men as a token of their appre• elation of the work that he has done. We hope that the Captain will think of the M. C. C. as he leaves Union college at the end of the school term to serve his country. The Captain then commended the fine work the fellows have done this year. He especially stressed the fact that it is will- ing service on the part of the boys and not compulsory service, as it is in the army. A grand march led by the officers and their ladies brought an enjoyable evening to a climax. i .K4.:•:•.:•:•:•:::•.•:•:•:•:::•:•:•:•..•.:•::n Your shoes are repaired bestX • _ at the >0 , ,< • • 48th St. Shoe Repair • t.--.......x.x.x..x.x...:.....x.. .••••••••••••••••••••••••$ • : Dr. Frank T.

MERCEDES BERNAL Mrs. Bernal graduates with distinction this year, having a biology major and a music minor. "I was petrified like a stone," said Mrs. Bernal when talking of playing be- fore the examiners. The piano developed new squeaks and began to slide away, so that in the midst of playing she had to move the piano bench. It is not strange that she found the biology words difficult to pronounce, for Lima, Peru, is her home, and in September of 1939, she saw the U. S. for the first time. Mrs. Bernal is making a collection of leaves and flowers found in this country so that she can show them to people in South America when she returns. The Bernals are planning to visit other parts of the U. S. after graduation. They think that teaching will be their line of work upon returning to Peru. CLUBS K. D. L. Mrs. H. C. Hartman, an instructor of music, spoke recently to a joint meeting of Upper and Lower Division K. D. L. Her subject was Hymns and Gospel Songs. Academy The subject of the program of the Academy club, Wednesday, April 29, was Hobbies. Wendell Graham spoke about his collection of china dogs; Earl Woten told about his collection of stamps; Harold Clark explained the intricacies of model railroading; Edward Nord related the history of his model airplanes; and Gilbert Jorgensen displayed and explained a portion of his rock collection. The program reached a climax when Mr. Bresee displayed "Snowball" and "Pa- jamas," two cochin birds (emphasis on the birds) and several ribbons which these birds have been awarded at poultry shows. In connection with this program, the academy sponsored a Hobby Show on fourth from April 29 to 30. Among other entries were a modern airplane hav- ing inflated tires and a 54-inch wing span, constructed by Edward Nord; oil paint- ings by Lola Jane Rowland and Mervyn Cadwallader; and a collection of stones belonging to Gilbert Jorgensen. I. R. C. International Relations club members were given a quiz on geographical names and names of prominent men in connec- tion with the present war in their meeting Wednesday, April 29. After the quiz the club was turned over to an open discussion in which the members expressed their opinions as to where America should strike first—in Germany or Japan. Demonstration School Has Annual Program The first six grades of the demonstra- tion school held their annual program in the college chapel on Thursday evening, April 30. Miss Frances Stoddard, in- structor of the first three grades, and Miss Maurine Peterson, instructor of grades four, five, and six had general super- vision. After a few introductory remarks by E. M. Cadwallader, principal, the fol- lowing program took place. The primary room featured two general numbers. The first was a review of 1941 and 1942 demonstrating highlights of the year. The second consisted of several musical selections played by the rhythm band. The intermediate room gave as their first number, "Sing Along," a song sung as a sextet, followed by a dialogue "Spend , ing Mother's Prize Money." The con- cluding number was a song by the entire intermediate group which was composed by their music teacher, Norman Krogstad. "Aren't you proud of your husband?" someone asked Mrs. Dunn the day after the results of the honors exams had been announced. "Why . . . yes," said Mrs. Dunn wondering just why she should be any more proud of him then than before. There stood Mr. Dunn beside her looking like the cat that had eaten the canary, for he had not told her when he was sitting for the exams, and was much too modest to tell her when he received high- est distinction. Mr. Dunn has lived in College View "years and years," for he took part of his academy work and most of his college work here. More than half of his college hours have been A's. He also reports that he completed a three-hour course in world religions by correspondence in three weeks. He is known to all as manager of the college laundry. Strangely enough, both Mildred Page and Mrs. Bernal work in the laundry, too, so Mr. Dunn is expect- ing a large number of applications for work there. Both Mr. Dunn and Mildred Page are editors on the CLOCK TOWER. Pre-nursing Students Read This Letter These extracts from a letter by Dorothy Greene, a former student at Union, will be of special interest to pre-nursing students; have a very wide variety of illnesses to take care of, thus gaining an unusual wealth of experience. Every day is filled with new and intriguing interests in the busy wards, and the bedside clinics con• ducted by efficient doctors who are caring for our own patients, are a source of con , stant interest. Furthermore, Miss Borg and Miss Vogel, who are in charge of the school, manifest a very personal and understanding interest in each student nurse, endeavoring to bring out the very best qualities in her nature, and showing her how to discard, once and for all, those traits that would be a detriment in her work and her social life . . There is an atmosphere about this well-planned institution that gives one a feeling of pride in being a part of such a marvelous and inspiring work. We learn how to meet every class of person, how to stand on our own convictions, how to state clearly and concisely the answers to ques- tions that the attending physician may ask, how to carry ourselves with womanly poise, head high, because we realize we are on the way to a successful, self- dependent life, and last, but by far not the least, how to work and live and play harmoniously with our fellow-beings with whom we are associated each day. The Ida Thomason Home where we live during our three-year stay at the White is a very comfortable place. We have a large, well-lighted and well-venti- lated parlor equipped with divans, big comfortable chairs, a radio, and a grand piano where we can entertain our guests and where we have worship each evening. A lounging room has been provided for us girls. And girls—here's something which is near and dear to your—(you thought I'd say heart, didn't you? Well you're fooled)—head! We have two elec- tric hair dryers just like the beauty par , lors "boast of"; and let me say that if we didn't have the other nice things I'm Just a word about our House-Mothers, Mrs. Hearne and Mrs. Trible. My most well-chosen words could never fully ex- press what wonderful mothers they truly MRS. FOWLER ELECTED PRESIDENT FOR CAMPUS WOMEN'S CLUB The Campus Women's club met at the home of Mrs. Miles Cadwallader for the April meeting. At the business session Mrs. Ray Fowler was elected as incom- ing president. The members of the club presented Dr. Hilda Hagstotz, the present president, with a gift. Mrs. E. N. Dick gave a graphic de- scription of each member of the club— high points that had been gleaned secretly from other members of the family, chiefly husbands, who sometimes found it difficult to remember dates. Miss Lea, Miss Hall, and Miss Sampson proved to be mu- sicians. It's an advantage sometimes to be small like Miss Watt, as she received free admission to an exhibit one time, the ticket collector thinking that she was a child. Each member was presented with a booklet, "Who's Who?," containing the life history of every one, and the list of officers since the organization of the club three years ago. The hostesses for the evening were Mrs. Cadwallader, Mrs. Rausten, Mrs. Kleiman, and Mrs. Christensen. are. They are kindness, loveliness, and thoughtfulness personified. As I close this bit of humble praise for the White Memorial School of Nursing, I want to speak of our head of the edu- cational department. You will be delight- ed to know Miss Mary Kisy, whose cheery greetings, and jolly disposition will lift you, feet and all, out of those attacks of Nostalgia with which we all seem to suffer when we get quite a ways from the old home place. All of us former Unionites, including Miss Vogel, who is an ardent booster of the College of the Golden Cords, will be looking for a large group of new nurses from Union in the June class. Please don't disappoint us, and we know that you will always be proud and happy that you followed us out here. With sincere best wishes for every teacher, student, and friend in Union, I am Sincerely yours, Dorothy W. Greene Of all the things you wear, your ex- pression is the most important. Who gossips to you will gossip of you. Fairmonts Double-rich Malts and Double-dip cones Caviness Confectionery Now that I understand that a new class is to be taken in here at the White Memorial hospital in June, I am very desirous of turning the minds of the pre- nursing students toward Sunny California and our marvelous school of nursing. We have a most remarkable school p eop le here for a number of different reasons. usually Our teaching staff consists of fine and hasn't. well-educated doctors and nurses.

One of the feature writers told me the other day that she • was glad I didn't get any alumni news in last issue; it gave her a chance to run in some feature material she had written up for a long time and that never could get published because the alumni were too busy making news. Well, that's OK; feature articles make interesting reading for a change, and far be it from me to deprive our- selves of a taste of them. News was a little scarce last issue, though, and time was scarcer. Now with a month's accumulation on hand perhaps I'll be able to tell the public a little that at least some of you don't know. Speaking of news: if by any chance any of you alumni are not subscribers of the little publication put out by the Alumni association—THE UNION COLLEGE ALUMNUS—it is well worth the yearly price of 25c. It comes to you free with the payment of your association dues. I don't know whether or not I ought to put on a one-man drive for paid-up membership in this worthy association, but I don't imagine the association officers would object in the least bit. But, as I was saying, the little publication is well worth the two-bits it costs per year be- cause it digs up reports every once in a while on people you haven't heard of for years and years. It is by the alumni, for the alumni. This column in the CLOCK TOWER doesn't go too far into the past for alumni news because old news isn't so interesting to the younger generation who make up most of the readers of the CLOCK TOWER. We do publish what we think most of you will enjoy, and to you alumni who haven't, if you will subscribe to THE ALUMNUS you'll get a lot of supplementary news that will be well- worth your small cost. And speaking of THE ALUMNUS: In the last issue it quotes an official action taken by the alumni association in official session in 1916. It strikes right into one of my pet hobbies so I must repeat it. It goes: "Whereas we have adopted the red carnation as our college flower, we recom- mend that the dandelion be prohibited from corning up on the campus!" The record doesn't say whether or not the action carried the session. At any rate, the dandelions still bloom on the campus. April has been a typically windy and dry Nebraska month — excellent dandelion weather. Perhaps the rains of May (if they come) will dampen the enthusiasm of the shouting dandelions—here's de- voutly hoping. CLARICE GOMPERT, class of '40, is teaching grades four, five, and six in the San Bernardino Junior academy in California. GLADYS FLATTEN PRYOR, class of '33, lives in San Fran- cisco and says that once in a while she wishes she were farther inland. JANE WENSEL 'MIRACLE, class of '38, says she's working in the registration depart- ment of the White Memorial clinic, and that her husband, Floyd Miracle, a former student of Union, finishes his senior year in medicine this spring, and that this summer they expect to go to Georgia where he will interne. DAN E. CORN- FORTH, class of '40, and MARGARET JOHNSON CORNFORTH, class of '38, write that their young son, Gerry, is now a year and a half old, and that he has red hair, and that they both find them- selves busy in the West Philadelphia church. Perhaps some of the best news that we can experience is good news from the battle fronts of the world. And particu- larly is this true as word comes in from those at the other end of Union's Golden Cords. BENJAMIN BUTHERUS, and ELSIE BAKER BUTHERUS, both of the class of '29, have safely reached this country from India and Mr. Butherus is attending the seminary in Washington. Rumor is out that he will be preceptor at Enterprise academy this coming year, and that TED HERR and JUNE LAYMAN HERR, of the class of '41, will go to one of the Dakotas where Ted will interne in the ministry. G. B. YOUNGBERG, class of '15, is still in territory occupied by the enemy, but is said to be well and to be continuing his work. DR. VERA OCKER HONOR, class of '24, B. B. Davis, a former teacher in Union, and Mrs. ROSELLA SNYDER DAVIS, class of '24, have been released from in- ternment camps. They were stationed in Manila at the outbreak of the war. REUBEN JOHNSON, class of '31, has entered the service of the army re- cently. VERNA BURDICK JOHNSON, class of '35, is still living in Boulder. (See Alumni p. 2, col. 4) Before coming to Union college I had heard the rumor that all Nebraskans have one leg shorter than the other. Reason— in order to maintain their equilibrium all inhabitants of Nebraska must lean into the wind which necessitates having one leg shorter than the other. I have now been in a windstorm for eight months and the college bulletin tells me that I have only one more month in which to keep right side up in the gale. I have been contemplating the pur- chase of an anchor, which I could throw out as I passed that treacherous corner of the Administration building. Just a hint to the freshmen of next year. Nature has made you with your hair fastened on one end, but woe unto the other end! Don't try to wear one of those faultless hairdo's with curls and frills. I suggest a windblown bob, for you'll have one sooner or later, anyway. All Nebraskans wear one more piece of clothing than normal people—a kerchief. As yet I don't know whether its purpose is to hold their hair down or tie their brains in. Frankly, I'm afraid I haven't worn a kerchief enough, for the nine weeks exams showed lack of grey matter. (We'll blame it on the wind anyway). I'll never forget my first night in a little corner room on fourth floor in North hall. I was lonesome, and it was dark, and the wind was blowing sixty miles an hour around the corner (more or less). The window rattled and the door squeaked and it sounded as if there were millions of goblins lurking around and peeking in the window. How anyone could sleep was beyond me! I would almost doze off, in spite of the racket, when the dong of the clock tower would awaken me to another half hour of mis- ery. I counted sheep and counted slam- ming doors, and then counted all the full skirts I had brought with me to college. (Incidentally, I've wished since then many times that I hadn't brought them, especially while passing the danger corner of the Administration building.) Now that I have made the wind-swept Nebraska prairies my home, I want to state that I feel out of place and almost lose my balance when the wind isn't blowing. In fact, I almost missed the wind on that day when it didn't blow. Hight Finds That A Clock Tower Ad Is Profitable This is a free-for-nothin' testimonial in favor of the CLOCK TOWER. I really never thought that anyone read the ads in the CLOCK TOWER. All the ads had ever meant to me were pains in the neck like when Russel wouldn't get them until the day before the CLOCK TOWER was supposed to be printed, or when he'd get so many that there wasn't any space left for anything but ads, or like when I hadn't written my copy and was secretly wishing he'd have too many ads and he'd come up with about half the usual amount. Seriously, I considered ads just "stuffing." (I learned that in news writing class— what I wasn't supposed to do, you know.) But, never again. Patrons, I believe in ads. In fact, ads are the most wonderful things in the world. Why I can even open the door to my room now without lions, tigers, horses, and dragons peering out at me; I can make up the bed without get- ting two or three stuffed animals mixed up with the covers; I can love my adored Horace without every other stuffed animal in the dormitory gazing at me with jealous eyes. Yes, without a doubt, life has be- come sweeter since I found out the value of CLOCK TOWER ads. Everybody has come and taken his animal home; my room is no longer a Central Park zoo; and most of all, I'm convinced that IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE. Clock Tower Extends Sympathy to Rosa Lee Rosa Lee Hassenpflug went to her home in Valley View, Tex., on April 22, to visit her father who was seriously ill, but he passed away before her arrival. The CLOCK TOWER wishes to extend sympathy to Rosa Lee in this bereave- ment. The measure of a man's real char- acter is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. "NEWS FROM NOWHERE" Someone told the editor the other day that he knew about all of the picnics, pro- grams, and prizes, that came and went and wished the CLOCK TOWER would print only details he did not have any previous information on. Perhaps he was referring to something like William Mor- ris's "News from Nowhere" which might be interpreted as being neither here nor there so far as vital importance is con- cerned. Maybe in this class of news could be mentioned the night that the feature editor of the CLOCK TOWER was so tired from working on copy that she fell asleep in North hall lobby about 11:30 and prob- ably would have slept on till the worship bell next morning if Miss Rees had not discovered her and marched her off to bed. Or, perhaps, there could be named the rumor that the dignified secretary who reigns in the personnel office was seen out wading in the duck pond on picnic day. We do not know whether we dare mention in this classification the new club that has been formed in North hall whose members will be making more news ere long. Then there is the fact that one day Arlene Church really offered to dig dande- lions out in front of the library and had the whole library staff hunting for some kind of implement with which she could commence work. Nothing could be found and she reports that even Russel Hagen could not produce a pocket knife. Gladys Moore didn't consider it of little importance that after studying three hours for a history test she came to the end of a chapter which she had marked "this far for nine weeks' test" and here it was the fourteenth week. However, we doubt if she really thought that such news would rate the front page. And so we could go on and on with "News from Nowhere." START PACKING, WITHOUT DELAY It is now time for you to start packing. We realize that this sounds cruel, but it is only for your own good. This advice is especially for freshmen, because you have never lived through a siege of it. It is also for seniors, who probably have not done a good job of taking everything home for four years. Packing is, of course, distasteful. But it is necessary, unless you are wealthy and can afford to buy new shoes with rubber heels on them. One of the simplest and best procedures is to place three or four trunks in the middle of the room, close your eyes tightly, and aim the con- tents of the closets and all the dresser drawers in their general direction. This method has the advantage of speed and spontaniety and is also picturesque. It also arranges matters so that your base- ball bat and your cowboy boots rest neatly on top of your hand mirror, pictures, and lamps, thus positively eliminating all break- age of any sort. Another method is to take an inventory of your belongings and then file them away, card catalogue style. The only diffi- culty is that when you have finished you won't quite know whether to take the belongings or the inventory home. You can't have both. Some people let their mother do it. This method is not so superior as may seem at first glance. All mothers have various methods. There is always the pos- sibility that Mother may notice all the holes in your clothes and wonder why you haven't mended them, or suddenly miss your perfectly good blue flannel skirt that you put in the mission barrel four years ago. In any event, it will be somewhat of a strain on both your mother and yourself. Think twice before you leave it all for Mother to do. After you have most everything packed, you are going to begin to wonder if it will be possible to shut the lid. Sitting on it will help some, and so will taking out the parrot cage that you have just neatly laid on top. Do not expect to be able to get everything inside. But think of your blessings. At least you do not have a lot of wedding presents which you do not dare to leave behind. There are a few articles which you should not try to transport under any circumstances. Just benevolently give your India ink, your hair oil, and your liquid soap to the girl down the hall. Do not (See Packing, p. 2, col. 2) Recent visitors at the college have been: Mr. and Mrs. Emil Hagele, former students, who are teaching church school in Sioux City, Iowa; Dorothy Wetter from Boulder, Colo.; Evelyn DeBooy, from Sioux City, Iowa; Audrey Lamb, from Murray, Iowa; Dickie Anderson, from Omaha, Neb., a former student; Mr. and Mrs. William Owen, from North Platte, Neb.; Mr. and Mrs. J.

Needless to say, a sigh of relief escaped when their teacher himself ap- peared. EUNICE KELLY GREENE The biology lab—the home of the dead dead cats, dead rats, dead worms, dead germs, dead ferns (hasn't been raining). The stimulating part of teaching a lab is convincing the students of the simi- larity between monkey and man and per- haps woman and cat! There are a great variety of labs—one can have his choice —embryology, physiology and anatomy, bacteriology, biology, and zoology—and if there were more days in a week, Miss Lea and Dr. Marsh would think of another ology. Some of the world's most famous future doctors are performing miraculous surgery on cats—dead cats. Perhaps when they work on you, they will sew up the in- cision! We have future great anatomists in the lab—running Gray much competi- tion—according to the test papers— Gray's Anatomy Book is all wrong. Why, some of these pre-nurses have discovered and named parts of anatomy which no one ever heard of or thought of before. Perhaps some people think that the smelling fixtures of the lab assistants have long been immune to foul smells, but should you have peeped into the lab last week, and have seen Dr. Marsh and his assist- ants crawling around on hands and knees looking for a lost mouse (dead one week before) you would know—or perhaps you would think we were crazy. We even have a skeleton in our closet but the difference is—we talk about ours! Pseudo-names Found Among Union's Men Have you ever stopped to think of the nicknames that some of the men at Union have? Some of these pseudo-names de- scribe outstanding characteristics and some are merely attempts to shorten names. Of course you know that Glenn Daven- port has been just "Fuzzy" to us here at Union for four years. And the name fits his head just right. His hair is just that fuzzy, as if someone had curled it tightly and then cut the curls in half. Lyle Little is not short for he is a Knight, but yet he is called "Small" just to remind him of his name. No nickname has managed to stay very long with "our dear" (with apologies to Mary Hindmarsh) William Grotheer. When he came to Union, he was known as "Woman hater." But, oh my, this nickname doesn't fit him anymore, unless my eyes can help seeing two objects to- gether at the same time and much of the time on the campus. Since we are talking of nicknames let us think of some possible titles for men who have none so far. For instance, Henry Johnson should have one. He is a constant worry to me. I am afraid that he might even have to spend examination week donating free labor to the gymnasium. This is why "Problem child" would fit him just right. Jim Stevens would feel hurt if this article didn't have something about him. He should be given the honorary title of "Union College Basso Profundo." When he sings it seems that he will never reach the bottom of his scale. By the way, have you asked LeRoy Leiske what his nickname in Greek class is? It began when he was caught one day over at Caviness's confectionery eat- ing . . . "Super super salesman" — "Champion bull slinger"—"Tireless orator," well, what else could Reynolds Hoffman 'be called? Every time one sees Hoffman he seems to be in the midst of pulling some kind of fast deal over on some victim. Oh no, he isn't dishonest in the least, but he can certainly do some fast talking. And really, o listen to him, one would think that when he sells some radio article, he is ( See Pseudo-names •p. 2, col, 2) A Freshman Reminisces On Nebraska's Wind Each has his place on earth to fill, And how each fills it is by his will; Each wills to do or leave undone, And life to some seems only fun.
