rr VOL. XVIII UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, NOVEMBER 4, 1942 � NO. 7 CAMPAIGN IS NEAR HALF-WAY POINT Society Organizes Progressive Classes Hong Kong Evacuees Relate Experiences College Host To StudentsChooseClubs Teachers Institute I According To Interest Everyone on the campus is talk- ing about the Clock Tower cam- paign—even the faculty! The first week was spent in writing letters and now, of course, the subs are rolling in. The competition has been keen this last week, the faculty being in the lead to begin with. Because he was afraid that the other teams would lose courage and quit try- ing, Dean Laurence held back the faculty subs. Friday morning saw "peppy" Lumper lead his villagers into the limelight. How- ever the village was soon outdone by North Hall, for Gerry Heinrich put on a splurge and had the girls' light flashing. And now the facul- ty is on top again, but not for long ( we hope): And so another week of Clock Tower campaign has gone by. The arrow on our goal chart says we have 650 subs to date and it is climbing toward 1500 every mi- nute. As we enter the last week of the campaign, spirits are high and we are wondering just who will win. Keep it up, faculty; show us you can do it, girls; pep-up, village; do it again, fellows! Let's end the campaign up right, not a sub less than 1500! Suture November 5 6:40 P. M. Men's glee club November 6 9:35 A. M. Chapel, Elders C. G. Cross and P. D. Gerrard - 6:17 P. M. Sunset 7:00 P.

Jack Bowers Those who have had academy or college classes that dealt with material parallel with that requir- ed for vocational honors may ap- ply this school work to the re- spective honors. Since Delmer Holbrook has twenty-three voca- tional honors, he is willing to di- rect study in practically any field the group desires. Examples of vocational honors are star study and bird study. (Continued on page 3) Report of Fall Council Brought by President "Our greatest problems are not those of persecution or war, but those that concern heart condi- tions—our relations to God and His message," stated President E. E. Cossentine in his Sabbath ser- mon in the College View church. President Cossentine has just returned from the Fall Council of the leaders of the Seventh-day Adventist church held in Cincin- nati, Ohio from October 20 to 28. He had to leave the Council be- fore its termination and was not able to tell of all the decisions made during its session. But Pres- ident Cossentine told his audience of the organization of such a Council. The theme of concern for spiritual conditions in the church reflected at the Council was emphasized by President Cos- sentine in his sermon to faculty and students of Union College and the village church members. In appealing to his audience for preparation for times of trou- (Continued on page 4) Elder and Mrs. C. F. Larsen, Union College graduates who were for sixteen years missionar- ies to China, told some of their experiences as prisoners of war in Hong Kong from December, 1941 to May, 1942, at the vespers serv- ice Friday, October 30. "Where Satan has attempted to close the work of Christianity in one place, the Lord has open- ed ten other places," said Elder Larsen. He related stories of in- tense interest in Christian teach- ings on the part of thousands of persons in China. The speaker, in referring to the loss of his possessions, stated, "Temporal things do not mean very much in times of trouble. Everything I had I have lost; but (Continued on page 3) Students Here From 5 Countries, 29 States Twenty-nine states and five countries outside the United States are represented at Union College this year, according to Ruby E. Lea, registrar. Nebraska heads the list having the most students at Union, with 61 students. Minnesota is second with 55 students. Iowa and Colo- rado are next with 46 students from each. Kansas has 40 students; North Dakota, 33; Missouri, 26; South Dakota, 24; Oklahoma, 14; Texas, 11; California, 10; Wyom- ing, 9; Illinois, 5; Washington, 4; New York, 4; Arkansas, 3;Alaba- ma, 3; Oregon, 3; Arizona, 2; In- diana, 2. Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Louis- iana, Maryland, North Carolina, and Tennessee are each represent- ed by one student. Hawaii, with 13 students, heads the list of countries outside the continental United States represented at Un- ion College. There are 2 students from South America, 1 from India, and 1 from Switzerland. There are 182 students from the Central Union, 158 from the Northern Union, 29 from the Southwestern Union, and 59 stu- dents are cosmopolitan. Of the 432 students enrolled, 236 are now classified as freshmen; 106 as sophomores, 48 as juniors, 20 as seniors, 2 as post graduates, 8 as adult special students; 1 is taking music only, and 5 are un-. classified. Teachers were prominent on the college campus Sunday and Mon- day, October 25 and 26 when the Nebraska Conference Teachers' Institute was held at Union Col- lege. Mr. L. W. Pettis, Education- al and Missionary• Volunteer Sec- retary of the Nebraska Conference, was in charge. Teachers from Lincoln and various parts of the state took part in the two-day conference. The demonstration elementary school staff were prominent in the round-table discussions. Debating various topics, reading papers pre- pared by the teachers, and visit- ing the demonstration school were the main features of the Institute. The most important topic con- sidered was the newly prepared course of study for elementary pu- pils. This study plan was prepared by the large group of teachers who attended Union's summer session of 1942. Fire In Laundry Causes Excitement A mysterious fire in the school laundry caused the student work- ers no small stir early Tuesday afternoon, October 27. Smoke had filled the building before Mr. Dunn, manager, dis- covered that the smoke was com- ing out of a washing machine in the rear of the laundry. Dry tow- els, which had been packed into the machine a few hours before, were found burning. Mr. Dunn pulled down two fire extinguishers and brought them into action before great damage was done. The towels, however, were destroyed in the flames. The origin of the fire remains a mystery. It is believed that heat generated by the towels in the en- closure was respo-sible for the blaze. Organization of departmental clubs was begun during the chap- el hour on 'Wednesday, October 28. Students were invited to join • the club in which they were most interested. The clubs which began organi- zation were a Future Teachers of America club, International Rela- tions club, Science club, Junior Chamber of Commerce, Language clubs—French, Spanish, and Ger- man, Colporteur club, Art club, and Music club. The purposes of each club were explained by different teachers. Concerning the Future Teachers of America club, Mr. E. M. Cad- wallader said, "One hundred thou- sand new teachers are needed in America every year. The club hopes to sponsor activities that will contribute to professional and personal growth, especially per- sonality development." "The International Relations club," said Dean J. P. Laurence, "is basically a history club—dealir4 with history that is happening to- day. It is a club to keep those who are interested wide awake with regard to what is happening in the world." The Junior Chamber of Com- merce is a club new to Union College. It is to be a debating and an oratorical society. Miss Pearl Hall said that the aim of the language clubs is to help us understand the peoples of other countries. A music club has not been or- ganized at Union College for some time. Mr. H. A. Miller stated that the members of this club will find out something about music besides singing and playing in- struments. They will study, among other things, the lives and works of composers of music. j 1 iurr Published every Wednesday, 10:30 a. m., and every month during the summer by Union College under the auspices of the department of Journalism.

A scientist might classify him as a parasite, but he is known in the esoteric collegiate venacular as a "moocher". This is the person who on arriving late for dinner, views the long line of students awaiting admission to the cafeteria, then barges into a place near the front of the line. When he re- ceives the disgusted glances and remarks of those who have stood in line for some time, the pest will pat his nearest acquaintance on the back and say "You were saving this place for me, weren't you?" It is imitating to stand in line for sometime and then find yourself moved backward by newcomers instead of toward the savory wafted odors of the dining room. Courtesy, as well as sportsmanship, demands that every person, be he faculty member, roommate, or friend, should take his regular turn in line. We can easily eradicate this moocher" pest. Knowing how unpopular is his action may stop the parasite; if not, other means can get results. It will be pleasanter for all if we all will get in line. Let's try it. E.D. Cents And Sense . . . The world is full of the former, but is sadly lacking in the latter. Cents in the pocket does not mean sense in the head. The former cannot buy the latter, and the latter does not always bring the former. These brotherly sounding words are bitter enemies in meaning. The first is usually a robber of the second, while the second is many times rob- ber of the first. Cents are common; sense is quite uncommon. "There is nothing so uncommon as common sense." How many young people are allowing their sense to drag in the dust kicked up by a few cents. If we would scent the trail of cents, we might have sense to choose correctly. Cents and sense are the two things that the world is chasing, consciously or unconsciously. The bulk of humani- ty would gladly let the second rot if it would at all fertilize the first—careless of the rattle in the sense box, but anxious for the jingle in the cents box! The jingle in the purse is bet- ter to them than the ring of silver in the head. Cents has sense by the throat these days. To find the dollar men lose their heads. To balance the "found" column of cents there is always a "lost" column of sense. Happily there is a remnant who value sense above cents. They are clear-sighted enough to put their chart and com- pass in the pilot house. These necessities do no good in the engine room. Coal is very essential but don't put it in the pilot house. Keep it down in the hold of the ship where it belongs. "Incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; if thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures, then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God." Scent the path of sense! H. A. Miller, Guest Editorial 2 � THE CLOCK TOWER, NOVEMBER 4, 1942 Campaign Makes Gir:s Burn Mid-night Oil —And so on into the night. North Hall lights out—but not all —girls in housecoats, sitting, squat- ting, sprawling—writing, writing letters with all their might for the campaign. That's how eight hundred four- teen letters got started on their way to bring back subs for the Clock Tower campaign. And that's how the girls are going to usurp that cup from the boys' dormitory. Down deep in her heart Miss Rees is behind the girls. She came right out and told them that she wished she could give all her subs to the girls' side. "We're in 'a campaign, girls," she said. "It doesn't take a lot of cheering and rah-ing and bally- hooing to win a campaign, but it takes quiet, persistent effort. And that means that every one must work. What arc you going to do about it, girls? Are you going to win this campaign?" "Yes," reverberated the answer to her question. When girls like Veta Mae Longfellow, who threw in her fifty-one letters, Ruth Stein- ke with her thirty-eight, and Vir- ginia Lohmann with her forty, get behind this campaign, South Hall and all the other competitors are going to sit up and take notice. Incidentally, the girls are not through writing letters either. —Edvth Mae Alexander Students Use library Reference Service "Why and when did Wendell L. Wilkie change the order of his first and middle names?" "I am writing a paper for com- position class about fleas; where may I find out about them?" These are not fictitious ques- tions asked of library workers. They are samples of the daily twenty to thirty reference ques- tions requiring answers. Because of scholarly selection and wise purchases, the Union College library has one of the best reference collections possible for a library with its funds and scope. Those persons making use of these volumes will find they can do good work in a reasonable amount of time. It is impossible for all who use the library to know the exact lo- cation of the material they need. The library attendants are glad to assist any person with his refer- ence problems. As much as possi- ble someone will be at the desk in the reference room. This person is not a disciplinarian but one inter- ested in searching, if need be, the whole library collection to find the answer to reference questions. Your library time is valuable. Make it bring you the best returns by referring your needs for infor- mation to the reference room at- tendant or one of the other library workers. Alumni News . It has been arranged by the General Conference committee for individuals under appointment to the near East to go to the Theo- logical Seminary at Washington, D. C. this fall to study the Ara- bic language along with other im- portant subjects. Union College is well represented in this group, for in a class of sixteen, there are six from Union. They are Gordon Zytkoskee, '41, Evelyn McWill- iams Zytkoskee, '40, T. J. Jenkins, '38, Laurene Williams Jenkins, Al- ger Johns and Genevieve Carpen- ter Johns. Mr. and Mrs. L. H.

Two fellows sleeping in their room at the annex. Breathe in—rumble; breathe out —hiss. CLICK! SNAP! � Squeak, squee-e-e-ek. Snoring abruptly shifts to growl- ing. Two boys jump from their beds to one corner of the room. One of them grabs a shoe and vengefully administers the "coup de grace" to the unfortunate pris- oner. Rat number 12 breathes its last � Willard Christensen began a campaign to rid the annex of rats. He set traps in his own room. But all of the annex rats did not visit his. room. This was the signal for Bob Groome to start his rat-block- ade. Every evening he sets traps at different spots in the annex. During the night several rats meet their rodent Waterloo. There are scarcely any sounds in the annex at night besides the snoring symphony. If any other buildings on the campus need to b e � rat-depopulated, those i n charge please contact Willard Christensen or Robert Groome. Should you visit the annex any night now, here is what you will find: 3 A. M. Two fellows sleeping in their room at the annex. Breathe in—rumble; breathe out —hiss. Well—sleep just goes on! —Russel Hagen He has accepted a commission as first lieutenant in the medical de- partment of the U.S. army and is reporting for duty at San Anton- io, Texas. Paul Whitlow, '39 and Luana Guy Whitlow, '37 visited Mrs. Whitlow's sister, Peggy Jo Guy, October 23 to 25. Mr. Whitlow is a ministerial interne in the Io- wa conference. Rendall Caviness, '42 and Vir- ginia Huenergardt Caviness, '42 of Des Moines, Iowa visited rela- tives and friends here October 23 and 25. Elder F. H.

To this group Mr. Row- land related some of his mission- ary experiences in Singapore of British North Borneo. THE CLOCK TOWER, NOVEMBER 4, 1942 � 3 Home Ec. Stresses ACADEMY NEWS Cooking and Clothing NOTES Students Enjoy Hallowe'en Hike The goblins, ghosts, witches, and even the "nuts" were out Saturday night, October 31. These creatures went along on Union College's annual Hallowe'en Hike which was held at Antelope Park. The four student groups, the Cen- tral Union, the Northern Union, the Southwestern Union, and the Cosmopolitan group, made up the four parts of the program which was given in the park pavilion. The Central Union group gave a Hallowe'en play with Oscar Torkelson and Arlene Church act- ing as the frightened, straying couple. Jim Stevens was the ghost, Mavis Betts the witch, and Chris- tine Gardner impersonated Miss Rees. The Northern Union pre- sented "The Gathering of the Nuts." Among the "acorns" were Dr. E. N. Dick and several of the senior class students. Robert Woodfork, James Lewis, Carl Bailey, and Joseph Winston, and the Hawaiian girls gave the Cosmopolitan program. Toshiko Chinen, Sachiko Chinen, Gertrude Yoshimoto, Lillian Gima, Ilona Imamura, and Kay Yanamura were the Hawaiian girls who took part. The Negroes read and sang, and the Hawaiians gave some of their native music. An old-fash- ioned melodrama was given by the Southwestern group. And last on the program Dean Laurence and Dr. Ogden led "grand" and "tag" marches. Harold Roll Progressive Classes (Continued from page 1) Arlene Church has already giv- en the first installment of the Christian story-telling which she will teach for four weeks.

P. Laurence, dean of men, repeated emphatically during his vespers talk at Union, Friday, October 23. Comparing his audience, for sake of illustration, to a tribe in Africa without benefits of civili- zation, Mr. Laurence showed the advantages they would gain if a missionary were to visit them. "Surely," he said, "the mission- ary would bring with him know- ledge of the use of many conveni- ences of the modern century. However, if the missionary should leave, would this tribe be justified in stowing away all the tools in a museum merely to look at?" Without any obvious attempt to moralize, the dean of men asked his hearers not to make their Christianity a museum collection, but a practical seven-days-a-week working religion. Reeder Is New Press Foreman Mr. C. W. Reeder of Alamosa, Colorado has recently come to the college print shop to he foreman. Mr. Reeder and Mr. J. B. Krauss, mai lager of the press, worked together at Emmanuel Missionary College twelve years ago when Mr. Reeder was attend- ing school there. Because the new foreman has had considerable previous experi- ence in printing, Mr. Krauss be- lieves that he will prove to be an asset to the press in its exacting work. • Connect Buildings Old Unionitcs would be sur- prised if they should visit the col- lege now and see the new side- walks made recently. If they were to recall when they were here in school studying to be teachers, and had to go over to the normal building to do practice teaching, they would re- member how they hated that little dinky path, especially when it was raining and they had to hop and skip over puddles to get there! Perhaps they declared that when they got rich they were going to pave the "plagued thing" if the school did not. Well, the school paved it. Union College now has a sidewalk which leads from the south door of the Administration building to the steps of the normal building. Those who were in the class of 1935 will be interested in what follows. On the south side of the campus from the brick arch left by the members of that class, one can now walk over a newly-laid sidewalk to the new gymnasium. TSK Miss Smith believes that there's a time and place for every thing. One of the girls in the library science class asked her a rather difficult question and after pon- dering a few seconds without coming to any definite conclusion Miss Smith replied, "Wait a mi- nute. I'll think again." Teodoro Zegarro has set Rus- sel Hagen in his place. During a conversation at the dinner table Teodoro was using some multi- syllable words, one of which he mispronounced. Russel made a re- mark about the Latin pronuncia- tion and the other diners laughed. Then, in an apologetic manner Russel said, "Don't think I'm mak- ing fun of you," to which Teo- doro replied, "Oh, don't worry. You're not gifted that way." During a recent history of civ- ilization class Dr. Hagstotz was describing the statue "The Think- er". From the depths of his inat- tention Gilbert Jorgensen queried, "I saw a statue of a man without his head. Is that the one you mean?" Didn't Dr. Dick make an ex- quisite centerpiece during the supper hour at the Hallowe'en hike? Hong Kong (Continued from page 1) I do not care, for now I am not encumbered". Mrs. Larsen began her remarks saying: "I am glad to he here at Union, but if there is one place where I would rather be tonight it is in dear old China." She en- rolled as a nurse with the British Iler face burned by a passing shell, and the water supply cut off, Mrs. Larsen continued in her work of ministering to the sick until the day she was interned in Stanley camp, the same place her husband had been in. Both Elder and Mrs. Larsen urged the young people listening to them never to refuse a call to service in foreign lands for Christ. News Notes Paul Kravig spent the week end in Kraval, Colorado visiting his parents. Clifford Johnson and Rodney Dale left for Osceola, Iowa Friday to have tonsilectomies by Dr. Bates. Don Nash visited his parents in Sioux Falls, South Dakota over the week end. Willard Christensen and Jim Johnson are in the infirmary with chicken pox. Delectable aromas, the busy hum of sewing machines, North Hall, fourth floor, northwest cor- ner—this is the home economics department. If you want to surpass the de- licacies of Pierre the chef, take foods and cookery under the di- rection of Miss May Stanley, home economics instructor. Perhaps you desire to be able to create new de- signs in clothing. This can be learned from Mrs. Anne Dunn, also instructor in home economics. Home management, foods and nu- trition, dress design and construc- tion, child care and development are some of the courses taught in this department. The Union College Academy has five classes a week in home economics. They use the college laboratories, which are well equip- ped for a limited number. College students majoring in home economics are: Freshmen, Stacia Alexenko and Venessa Bo- vey: sophomores, Virginia Loh- mann, Ilona Imamura and Ruth Mitchell; juniors, Pearl Grundset, Thomasine Longware, Esther Ruf and Jenne Stiegelmeier; and sen- iors, Helen Johnson and Adel Kougl. —Mary Jane Schmidt Music Notes During the Week of Prayer the following musical numbers were given: Lawrence Rahn and Charles Lickey sang as a duet. "Be Still and Know." Olga Aaby and Robert Edwards sang "Pause at His Feet for a Moment of Prayer." A girls' quartette composed of Vio- let Hanson, Lola Jane Rowland, Desa Bonjour, and Veta Mae Longfellow sang "In the Beautiful Garden of Prayer." "He Died of a Broken Heart" was a solo sung by Anna Lee Lyon. "Home Sweet Home in a Little While" was sung by Janette and Paul Kemper for Sabbath School, October 10. Inez Mae Pelton played "Rock of Ages" as a vibra-harp solo for Sabbath School, October 17. Jay Lantry and Bob Edwards sang "More Like the Master" in vespers, October 23. "Ile Died But Not in Vain" was played as a marimba duet by Har- riette Sherard and Donalee Glad- den in Missionary Volunteer Meet- ing, October 24. Agnes Nichols played a violin solo, "Serenade" by Drdla, in Sab- bath School, October 24. A music ensemble composed of Prof. Carl Engel, violin, Russel Hagen, violin, Paul Kemper, clar- inet, and Miss Estelle Kiehnhoff, piano, played several selections for the vesper service, October 23. NI irrorilig student opinion at Union College Academy this year is the Papyrus, a four-page week- ly newspaper published by the academy students every Monday. News coverage for the publi- cation is handled directly by staff editors, each class being represent- ed by an editor. Alvin Benton was elected senior class editor; Blossom Church, junior class editor; Hollis Reinmuth, sophomore editor; Mer- lene Ogden and Gene Reed, fresh- man editors. Because she is equip- ped with an uncanny "nose for news", Shirley Morris was chosen feature editor. Miss Elizabeth Cowdrick, instructor in English, is literary sponsor. Meeting in the administration building Wednesday night, Octo- ber 28, forty-five fun-bent indi- viduals—the academy faculty and students—enjoyed an evening of group entertainment. Mr. A. D. Holmes, principal of Union Col- lege Academy, supervised the pro- gram which consisted of relay races and other games. Because the Nebraska State Teachers' Convention was in ses- sion in Lincoln last week, school was dismissed Thursday and Fri- day, October 28 and 29. New Sidewalk Laid to government represented in Hong Kong, and was a supervisor at the emergency army hospital. Reflections Of A College Freshman "Have you studied your English for tomorrow?" "No. Have you?" "Oh, I rather skimmed through it. I don't see how the teacher expects us to do so much in one assignment." "I just don't have time to do so much. And then we're supposed to write letters for Clock Tower subs in our spare minutes. I'd like to know when that is." "Can it be that college days are the happiest days of a person's life—that he is less busy then than after he is out of school? Guest speakers and teachers tell us that if we think we are busy now we will change our minds when we leave school." "And why do teachers give tests . during Week of Prayer, during the Clock Tower campaign, and every time we haven't had time to study as we should?" "I never have figured that out. I never fail to have a test when I have not studied." Is there any college student to whom the above conversation does not sound familiar? We think we are pretty busy, but really isn't college fun? lawala earl:WNW AMP" 4 � 111E CLOCK TOWER, NOVEMBER 4, 1942 "Co Zke Artmy It is necessary that the cir- culation manager of the Clock Tower have the names and addresses of all Union College students who are now serving in the army.

This film was produced by Warner Brothers, and is an account of an actual air raid by the Bomber Command of the Royal British Air Force. It gives in detail the planning for the raid from the examining of the new aerial photographs of the objective to the flight to and from this objective. After the flight begins, the camera stays with the big Wel- lington bomber, named "F for Freddie" and its crew of six. "F for Freddie" reaches its destina- tion, descends to bomb the target amidst a barrage of enemy anti- aircraft fire, and there is a spectac- ular explosion as the bombs find their mark. Its engine in trouble, its wireless operator wounded, the plane heads for home. Quentin Reynolds of Collier's says it is "the best picture today." Do not miss it! The proceeds will be used to buy ventilating equip- ment for the chapel.

Hall � 0 0 Factory To Install New BlowerSystem A "cyclone” comes to the Col- lege View furniture factory. According to Mr. R. J. DeVice, superintendent of the factory, def- inite plans are being made to in- stall a blower system in the mill room. Because of priorities on eu machines, the blower is be- ing made from materials bought from the furniture factory at Ber- rien Springs, Michigan. The blower sucks all the saw- dust from each individual ma- chine into a large container called a "cyclone". This will eliminate the need of sweeping and cleaning the saw- dust from the mill room by hand. Mr. DeVice says they hope to have the blower system complet- ed within six weeks.

Maybe the church of the present time has be- come ton easy-going, and needs war and trouble to prepare it to finish God's work on this earth." Several r e c en t experiences among persons interested in Bible truths, were used by the speaker in concluding his remarks.

Dairy Salesroom Is Being Painted Swishing paint brushes are transforming the Union College dairy room. This is the first time since the dairy was built eight years ago that it has been repaint- ed. Betwecii customers' calls, Ar- dis Aalborg, Ruth Mitchell and Dorothy Shaull, all regular dairy maids, arc refinishing the wood- work in the sales room in ivory and dark stain. Even Mr. Stout, the "boss" himself, was wielding a medium-sized brush Tuesday noon. Seated 00 the floor in front of the sales counter beside a gal- lon paint bucket, he said his ana- tomy had gone to sleep and he couldn't get up. The walls and woodwork in the bottling room arc to be repainted white and the pipes have already been coated with aluminum. Frank Stangl, one of the milkers, wandered into the dairy Tuesday afternoon and asked if there was anything he could do. In answer Mr. Stout handed over a paint brush and told him to carry on in the sales room. He painted un- til milking time. WE'RE IN THE ARM Y-- I'm really making out OK in the army so far.
