Frosh Control Week By ELOISE LAUGEN It was Freshman week not so long ago—a week when the upperclass- men who were here opened wide the doors to scores of enthusiastic new students, and retired into oblivion as the school and its activities were taken over by the freshmen. It seemed that every new person was excited and eager to become ac- quainted with his surroundings, his new associates, and his new activi- ties. No one appeared homesick or lonely, for every minute of his day was crowded to the limit. While the freshmen were thus en- gaged, the upperclassmen stood si- lently in the background watching and studying these new personalities who it is hoped will work to make Union their school home for more than this year. To some upperclassmen Freshman week meant more mouths to feed, more noise, more trunks to get in their way, more work to do, more acquaintances to make, but more fun. It meant that in just one short week school would begin; it also meant that in just one week those longed- for friends would return. Juniors and seniors enjoy having the freshmen come. They are the ones who put new life and zest into the school. They are the ones who interest the old-timers and whose ac- quaintance the upperclassmen want to make. They are the ones who in- spire those who have been here be- fore, and it is hoped that they will be happy here. Entertainment Given by Publication Officers to Reward Best Solicitors With a goal of one thousand subs, the annual CLOCK TOWER subscrip- tion drive was launched in chapel Wednesday morning by a staff pro- gram describing in action the policies and features of the bi-weekly sheet and the work of its editorial and business staffs. A dinner will be given in Novem- ber by the paper's staff to all stu- dents and faculty members who turn in five or more subscriptions by the end of the campaign at the chapel hour October 28. The staff received from the stu- dents and faculty a list of friends and prospective subscribers to whom the first fall edition of the CLOCK TOWER will be sent free, these persons to be (Continued on page 3) College and Village M.V. Societies Merge Officers chosen for both the college and the village Missionary Volunteer societies will work together this year in creating a friendly atmosphere be- tween dormitory and village students, stated LeVerne Melendy, leader of the college M.

Mission bands to be organized soon will be maintained as an active part of the society, said Mr. Melendy, and short meetings will be planned in order to leave time for the work of these bands, he explained. Students Sponsor Progressive Party Music, Marches, and Parlor Games Provide Student Amusement The first progressive party of the year, sponsored by the social com- mittee, was held the evening of September 24. The four hundred guests at the party were entertained for almost two hours by music, games of various kinds, and marching. In the music assembly hall on fourth floor of the main building Mr. Hill and his assistants, Rosetta Anderson and LeVerne Melendy, entertained. Featured on the program were Mrs. Victor Wall, who gave a reading, and Robert Puett, who played a bari- tone solo. Miss Anderson was re- sponsible for a musical guessing game and Mr. Melendy led the group in a short community song. Various parlor games were played in the North hall assembly room under the supervision of Miss Keith. who was assisted by Theda Ebert. Elizabeth Wester, Gordon Wallace. and Boyd Olson. At the dining room Dr. Hagstotz, Miss Watt. and Eunice Ekstrom led out in a fox hunt. Marching was the main attraction in the gym, the marches being led by Dean Habenicht and Lloyd Thom- as. NIELSEN VISITS UNION By practical lessons drawn from the life of Paul, Elder N. P. Nielsen, vice-president of the South American division, encouraged the students to pledge service to the Master where- ever He should call, in the vesper service September 17. While in school all should be building characters that will fit them for the places in which God chooses to use them, he said. • Elder Neilsen also spoke chapel hour Friday 1‘•-fk P V- 1,155 311.tr— , ef:•3‘." Large Enrolment Fills School Homes Upper and Lower Division Registration is Increased by Students of U. S. & Canada Four hundred fifteen students had completed registration on September 30, the end of the third week of school, whereas the enrolment for the entire year 1937-38 totaled only 377, re- vealed Ruby E. Lea, registrar, this week. There was an increase in both the upper and lower divisions of the college, she said. There are at present 184 women and 158 men living in the school homes, both the main dormitories and the men's annex being filled to capacity. Fifth floor of North hall is again being occupied. Evidences of the increased attend- ance are seen in larger classes, crowd- ed dining hall, and heightened spirit of activity about the campus. In spite of the large increase in attendance, the registration of stu- dents took place with more rapidity and ease than usual, declared Miss Lea. Students Welcomed At Faculty Reception Traditional "Handshake" Is Followed by Speeches in Chapel The annual faculty reception for the students of Union college was held in the administration hall the evening of September 18. Standing at the head of the re- ceiving line, two members of the junior class, Lottie Ziprick and Gor- don Wallace, introduced each student to President A. H. Rulkoetter, who in turn presented the student to the next person in line. A program in the chapel followed the "handshaking" introduction. After introductory remarks by President R Jkoe tie r, Professor T. A. Little stressed the feeling of good fellowship between the faculty and students at Union college. Wilbert Schneider ex- pressed the students' appreciation of this spirit and his own reaction to Union college as a student here for the first time. Dr. G. D. Hagstotz presented the new faculty members to the students. The music on the program in- cluded a vocal solo by Miss Estelle Kiehnhoff, voice instructor, music by an instrumental ensemble, and the singing of the school song by the entire group. ELECT COMMITTEE Whitlow, Kelly, Greene, Ekstrom, and Webb Chosen by Ballot A standing nominating committee for 1938-39 was elected by ballot by the student body during the chapel hour September 16. Those chosen were Paul Whitlow, chairman, Leo- nard Webb, secretary, Dan Greene, Eunice Ekstrom, and Eunice Kelly. Professor T. A. Little is the faculty advisor of the committee, taking the place of Dr. E. N. Dick. The duty of the nominating com- mittee consists in selecting candidates for offices in student organizations.

H. Emery, M. D., has been picking up all sorts of new things lately. In addition to his men- thol shaving cream cold, he has a t'ew little son called Curtis. The baby was born 2:30 in the morning, September 19. Of course Dr. Emery, like all fathers, spent a pretty hectic night. In fact, when he came home to bed at five o'clock in the morning he was so happily exhausted that he fell asleep without even chewing his finger nails. At 7:37 the telephone rang. It rang several times, in fact, before Dr. Emery finally got both legs out of Led and picked up the receiver. "Hello . . . The Living Body is here, Dr. Emery." Dr. Emery opened both of his eyes at this statement. "What did you say?" "The Living Body by Best and Taylor is here for your physiology and anatomy class." About this time Dr. Emery caught on, and so did Mr. Keene and all the girls in the business office. Ruble Oaks got a little red in the face while Dr. Emery explained that he was a proud father, and the business office force just about split their sides. The -re- sult is that Rubie does not have the courage to look Dr. Emery in the eye, even if she was perfectly in- nocent of any intentions of kidding the new father or of disturbing his peace of mind and spirit in waking him after two whole hours of sleep. It was just after this experience that Doctor Emery picked up the cold, not by hand to mouth infection, or cold feet, or an unhealthy diet, hut by the shaving cream method After he had explained his cold away, he started in on those of the student body. Any day now he is thinking of arming himself with preventative measures and starting right after you. He also is contemplating using small- pox vaccines. The students have been made to feel, however, that this is for their own good. While everyone departed from chapel, came the sad, sad end to all of Doctor Emery's many expostulations and citations of how to keep healthy. The orchestra was playing a funeral dirge.

Board Meets in First Session of School Year The board of trustees of Union college met for its first session dur- ing this semester on September 21 to discuss plans for the coming school year. The board members were intro- duced to the students at the morning convocation service, after which the students separated into state groups. At these group meetings the students were welcomed to the college by the board members who had come from the same states which the students represented. Those present at the board session were: V. G. Anderson, R. L. Benton, M. E. Carlson, 0. T. Garner, J. M. Howell, S. J. Lashicr, E. H. Meyers, J. Nenno, D. S. Osgood, J. F. Piper, J. H. Reiswig, J. H. Roth, A. H. Rulkoetter, T. B.

The function of the three divisions, namely, the division of Academic Sciences, the division of Music, and the division of Diversional Activities. is to promote activities particularly within the peculiar province of each, by means of lectures, small group or- ganizations and avocational projects within the club, and entertainments. The new constitution also provides for a distribution of club leadership and responsibility among a larger number of student officers than serv- ed under the previous plan. Early in the year the problem of club organization was discussed by the men, who elected a committee to consider the matter further and pre- sent to the club a tentative plan of re-formation. Members of this com- mittee were Walter Crawford, chair- man, Leonard Webb, Dan Greene, Carl Manthey, and Ed Seitz. new A plan of organization, sub- dividing the club into .three divisions each with specific purposes, was adopted and put into effect by the members of Sigma Iota Kappa, men's dormitory club, in the South hall as- sembly room Tuesday night.

THE "CLOCK TOWER" IS YOURS T HIS IS YOUR PAPER" has become such a hackneyed ex- pression used by editors of a school paper that students do not readily believe it. I don't believe it either when I meet with Unionites who show no interest or enthusiasm for the CLOCK TOWER. I wonder if it's a student publication when someone quizzes me concerning the staff's motives and reasons for running the paper. Are you one who doesn't know whom the CLOCK TOWER is for or what it means to its readers? There are people scattered throughout the school's territory who have no contacts with the school, and yet are vitally in- terested in it. For these people the paper is their primary source of information. This is one class of people we have in mind when publishing the CLOCK TOWER. Even though two families live in the same apartment house they are not always informed of each other's activities. So the faculty, another class of readers, is introduced to what the stu- dents do outside of classes through the CLOCK TOWER. Students cannot be expected to keep up with all campus activities, so we think of you, too, when we hand in CLOCK TOWER copy. The paper is really yours, students, if you'll make it such. It's for your parents and friends. It's to give folks a long view of what is happening at Union. E. E. T O THE casual observer, North hall is a large home run smoothly with very little supervision. There seems to be no "boss" who supervises jobs, yet everything is taken care of — with few exceptions. However, behind the scenes many plans are laid. A great deal of attention is given to the pros- pective North hall girls. Windows are measured for curtains, descriptions of the rooms are given, as well as other important information that is vital to the happiness of the girls who are coming to Union for the first time. Each girl is assured of her welcome at North hall. R EVERENCE and quiet in chapel periods could be greatly improved by a few little acts of courtesy. Books dropped in the racks during the quietness just before a prayer begins sound like thunder claps. We could put them in quietly just before the close of the song, or hold them and place them in carefully after the prayer. Sometimes a few people forget that it is much more courte- ous to remain standing until the prayer is over, and to pause respectfully for a moment after the amen. Such little things would help to make chapel services more dignified, and would raise us in our own self-esteem. I HEARD a Southerner say today, "After I have been intro- duced to a person I feel as if I know him and I make it a point to be friendly to him, although I can't remember his name." I think this should be the sentiment of everyone on the cam- pus. The "handshake" is over and theoretically everyone knows everyone else. A cheery word of greeting or a smile for those we meet on the sidewalk or in the dormitories goes a long way towards making us feel like one big family. IF MY recollection of past experience serves me in good stead, the time is not far removed when the resulting four week test grades will cause serious moments of self-analysis for the most of us. When these moments come, remember that you have some valuable help tucked away in a corner of your notebook. Our president was indeed thoughtful in compiling the eleven points of Study Helps for Students handed out to us in chapel some time ago. I N THE PROCESS of adopting the new plan of organization in the men's club, excellent opportunity was afforded individu- als in the dormitory group to put their opinions before the as- sembly. Those who took part in the discussions left lasting im- pressions upon the minds of those who listened — impressions both positive and negative. To this end at least, the open for- ums were successful. W E ANTICIPATE with pleasure the activities of a reinvig- orated and strengthened music departmental program this year. Along with increase in enrolment has come a proportion- al increase in music talent, and one more regularly organized departmental group, the vocal ensemble, gives initial promise of good things to be expected from an enlarged and live music department. tMs 'Eca9 filat 0 O 0 According to James Kiernan, the war scare has become so great among the girls of North hall that they are having a trench dug north of the dormitory leading to the men's annex. • • 20, It seems that letters have been reaching Jeanne Griffin in the infirm- ary this past week via the Egyptian mail service. • • Mildred Sather left the heels of her shoes sitting on the stairs the other day when she fell headlong down a flight of steps.

To Live BY ETHELDEAN DAVIS RECREATION', A 0 New Sports Program 8 X Projected BY ALVIN KILEY • The 1938-39 basketball season at Union college was officially opened Saturday night when two picked teams led by Ed Seitz and Roy Sor- ensen met before a crowd of two hundred cheering partisans. Taking an early lead and leading 15 to 4 at the half, the Seitz's dis- played a driving offensive and good teamwork. Although the final score was 27-11 it hardly indicates the true strength of either team, as most of the boys were stiff from playing football during the week. Leading scorers for the winners were Lysle Williams with eight points, and Bill Hill and Ed Seitz with five each. Leading the losers in the scoring column was Roy Sor- ensen with seven points.

Four teams have been organized; two freshman teams, one captained by James Pem- ber and the other by Ervin Sorensen; a sophomore team, captained by Rex Jenson; and a team composed of up- per-division students, captained by Dan Greene. Each squad will car- ry twenty-one men, and each team will play one game per week. Plans have been completed for an enlarged and more comprehensive basketball program. First there will be a freshman league composed of six teams of first-year students. There will also be a six-team league for the combined sophomore, junior, and senior classes. The Frosh league and the National league will play their games on Fridays and Sundays. From these two leagues will be chos- en players for the four teams in the Union College league which will stage its contests on Saturday nights. Bear in mind also the added feature which will be given every Saturday night either before the game or between halves. Saturday night Ralph Mc- Creight and Ramon Cronk gave an exhibition on the high bars. Then too, Union college will have its own ice skating rink this winter, and there'll be ping-pong, shuffle- board, volleyball and other sports for the students of Union college this year. Perhaps the primary aim of the li- brary staff, as it begins work in its new building, is to acquaint its patrons with the many phases of library serv- ice, some of which had no place form- erly in the old, crowded quarters of the Union college library. Commensu- rate with this objective, there will be presented in this column from time to time comments on articles and hooks, new and old, of current or intrinsic interest to a variety of readers, and also practical hints as to sources of material end different uses of the li- brary services available. "What's a good book to read?" many students in search of material for outside reading have asked. Such a question would be much easier to answer if the individual would first define his interests and clarify his ob- jectives. Each might ask himself, "What do I want to read, and why do I want to read it?" These questions answered, get ac- quainted with the browsing room, that small reading room on second floor. The browsing room will sel- dom fail you if you seek to read for pleasure and relaxation. Look over the special collections—the Current Problems shelf, the Vocational Guid- ance shelf, the International Relations shelf. From the Current Problems shelf, you will enjoy Norman Angell's frank discussion of the causes of war and the way to peace in his Peace and the Plain Man. George Seldes' Iron, Blood and Profits, an exposure of the world-wide munitions racket, will open your eyes a little wider at one cause of war. Every student of his- Probably you all like Mrs. Hilts and her classes already; so I will not need to tell you why you should. The only way, however, that you can meet six southern accents in one place is to go to interpretative speech class. The first thing you will learn there is how to pronounce the name of the class. After that you will have time to learn who the people are. Kenneth Berry sits in the second seat in the back row next to his roommate, Maynard Aaby (the first man in Union College alphabet). Kenneth is a religion major from Tulsa, Okla- homa, and like everybody else in this list has spent several years at Keene. He likes to take candid cam- era shots; so if you see a dark-haired young man bearing down on you with a camera, have the presence of mind to duck. If you can think of any business important enough, go to the power house and watch the man work. Ruby Bounds is in her third and a half year at Union, but she still sticks with her fellow southerners. In fact, she sits next to Kenneth. She has made a regular checkerboard career of her stay here. She has worked in the bindery, dining room, as precep- tress and matron at Maplewood this summer, and now will do almost any- thing you ask of her if you come over to North hall lobby. She is office girl this year. Music and tennis strike her just right, and she can cook like a whizz. In case you don't know her and want some of the candy she is famous for, she has a curl in the mid- dle of her forehead. Ralph Carter, who is married and lives in the new Taylor apartments, sits next to Ruby. Maybe you have- n't seen him yet because he came just a couple of days ago. I have- n't heard him talk yet, so I don't know how good his southern drawl is. He is another religion major from Oklahoma. He has been at Youth Youth is such a lovely thing— Gypsy wind and flowers of spring! Soon I shall be prim and old, Silver threads among the gold.

Wood. tory or economics should read those two. And everyone should read Dr. Thomas Parran's straightforward, comprehensive story of syphilis yes- terday and today, Shadow on the Land. From the Vocational Guidance shelf, Paul de Kruif in Hunger Fight- ers tells the dramatic story of men who are farmers and more than farm- ers—men who are revolutionizing ag- riculture by applying science to the nation's food supply. In Crucibles Bernard Jaffe gives a graphic account of the lives and achievements of chemists in days past and present— an invaluable background for the chemistry major, by the way. From the International Relations shelf, The Old Savage in the New Civilization by Raymond B. Fosdick will give an analysis of the major problems facing mankind in an in- tricate and curiously warped civiliza- tion. And as for The Family of Na- tions by Nicholas Murray Butler, "Here at last is a penetrating analy- sis of our present international anar- chy and a much-needed, realistic ap- proach to World Peace." Those of you who have read very little of anything but newspapers and fiction, try a non-fiction diet for a while. You'll have as fascinating and thrilling a time with books of psychology, science, poetry, or bi- ography, as you've ever had with Riders of the Purple Sage. (Next week more from the browsing room, and notes on some newcomers in the cataloging room.) Union before and at Keene, too. The best sources I could find, told me that he is a very good broom man. Pauline Hopkins is a very good part of the class, too. Some people call her Hattie, for what or why no one has figured out. She is a senior with a Home Ec. major. Hattie has nice brown eyes, just the kind you like. Her chief accomplishment is the fact that she can and does walk to town and back with several other poor victims who do not like to walk as well as she does. She also likes a most peculiar flavor of candy and can eat gobs of it. Just ask her what it is. Evelyn Roll has an accent that even does one better than the rest of these people. She is from Ar- kansas, Louisiana, Keene, and St. Lou- is; so that is the reason. She is a junior this year, and she rooms with Maurine Petersen. She knows how to put one in a most soulful mood with her tender reading of an old man's reminiscences of his first sweet- heart. She likes to swim and she also likes to type. You will see her through the back window of the business of- fice. Esther Smith is always on the borderline of something—just what she doesn't know. Anyway she lives in Texarkana, Texas or Arkansas, just as you please. She looks like a page boy sometimes because of her hair dress, but she is really a little Southern girl who is finishing normal course this year. I haven't heard her play the piano accordion yet, but I have heard her sing right near me in worship. She likes to skate and she still likes to read, even though her head is full of lessons she reads for junior high school methods and what not. I know you like all of these south- ern accent people, and now that you know them, watch to see what Mrs. Hilts does to them by the end of the year. Living By LILLION LANE I may not be an artist. Painting the worlds renowned. I may not be so musical. As to make the earth resound To gladsome song. I know I'm not distinguished Along the line of brains. I don't stand out as brilliant As an oasis on the plains To spur folks on. I know that I'm not beautiful, Nor dress in bright array, Nor shine out as a glistening star To those who are more gay Among life's throng. But I don't feel it useless— As down through life I go. If I'm not great nor famous. And can't do things just so As here I live. If I can stop a moment In life's busy toil and care. To help a fallen brother Or offer just one prayer For one distressed; If I but take a moment Of each day filled with toil To make a friend or help amend A wounded heart, or plant in soil A seed for flowers, I shall not feel it wasted— This humble life of mine. If I but can help others Sonic happiness to find, I'll be content. The Web The Golden Cords Spin out into space— Shining, gleaming, Like the slender threads Of a spider's web Sparkling in the sunlight. From here They are flung to all points Of the earth, And they are bound across With little silver chains Of Love, Loyalty, and Faith. Someday The whole of the earth Shall be caught Within this shining net. Thz earth's cities Shall reflect the golden gleam, And the hearts of the people Shall be bound With the silver chains. —Anon. 1.1%dne•PioridlieurneheuriirePetiWel.d .srld'Yrns?"64 . 1%.674 d•Measee'-ir"shIsPls . . . and you'll like them You've got to work In this old world, You've got to do your part.

You've got to labor Though you're tired, You've got to plod and plan. You've got to serve Your fellowmen With a willing, patient hand. You've got to bear A lowly cross, You've got to stand the test. You've got to smile Each weary mile Before you ve earned your rest. You've got to pray For strength divine, You've got to give your all. You must not stray From Him away. He'll keep you lest you fall. You've got to love With all your heart, You've got to sacrifice. You've got to think Of Him who once Gave all to pay the price. You've got to smile Although you're hurt, You've got to give a hand. Then someone who Might fall can see Your footprints in the sand. You've got to live For God alone, Work hard till set of sun.
