rr t VOL. XXI UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN 6, NEBRASKA, MAY 6, 1946 NO. 14 I, Kappa Theta Fetes In Annual May Party Veterans Banquet at Cornhusker Hotel Dr. E. M. Hause The basic issue one year after V-E Day, "the issue that haunted relations between Russia and the rest of the world" in the inter- val of two world wars, is whether peace can be built on the rela- tionship of "the free private enterprise system of capitalism' and the socialism of Russia. This spectre haunts the halls of Hunter College in New York City where the Security Council of UN sits, and hovers over the familiar Parisian surroundings of many world peace conferences where now the Foreign Minis- ters of the Big Four are meeting to shape up a delayed peace settlement for all of Europe. The crux of every major current dis- pute is the counterplay of power politics between the two diamet- rically opposed state systems of the controlled economy of com- munism and the competitive system of capitalism. During the closing months of German defeat leading states- men urged a delay in drawing up peace treaties in order to avoid the repetition of the mis- takes that were made in the hasty treaty of 1918. A "cooling- off" was desirable but unfore- seen changes since Germany's defeat have altered the attitudes, and probably complicated the task, of the peacemakers. In the borderlands of the Soviet Union and in central Europe the small- er states, either from choice or necessity, have slipped within the zone of Russia's economic and political influence. Even in Germany there is a sharp clash of policies as Russia urges ex- tensive demobilization of Ger- man industries, as Britian pleads for moderate reductions that will not cripple German capacity to buy or sell, and as the United States stands as a mediator be- tween these two extremes. Similarly, in Greece, Spain, Iran, Japan, Manchuria, Yugo- slavia, and Italy, the major causes of friction are the play of Russia's policies against con- servative British and American policies. The feeding of a starv- ing world is threatening to be- come a political football in which human miseries would be made the political material of diplo- matic maneuvers. The world is large enough to accommodate many systems of economy and politics but there must he tolerance and compro- mise where their paths cross. Students Attend Concert Mitropoulos Conducts Recently a large crowd filling the Coliseum thrilled to the music of one of the nation's top- ranking major symphonies, the Minneapolis Symphony Orches- tra, directed by the eminent Greek conductor, Dimitri Mit- ropoulos. The program was di- vided into two sections, the first section containing the works from the classical period of Handel and Beethoven, and the second containing the modern (Continued on page 3) A glance at the lovely Georgian room—and banquet Dr. Dick to Teach at U. W. Dr. Everett Dick, head of the department of History at Union College, has been called to be spe- cial lecturer at the University of Wisconsin during the eight-week summer school session. He will lecture on the history of the American frontier. Dr. Dick is nationally recogniz- ed as America's foremost authority on frontier life, returning to Un- ion this year after a leave of ab- sence which was spent in special study and gathering material in that field. Dr. Evere It was at the Unive, y is- consin in 1890, that the amous Frederick Jackson Turner began the first series of frontier studies in the United States. It was under this influence that Dr. Dick re- ceived his Ph.D. in frontier his- tory. Among the successful books that have been written by Dr. Dick are The Sod House Frontier and Life in the West. Dr. Dick will take up duties in Wisconsin after General Confer- ence. The entire family will enjoy va- cationing along with their work this summer when they live in a trailer house on the shores of Lake Monona.

"Our purposes," Merickel stat- ed, "must be to help carry out sound Christian ideals and to tablish a sound working and pub- lic relationship with our fellow students. Moreover, we must main- tain close contact with the veter- ans administration, and fourthly, it is our desire to build some cen- ter for our social activities." Dr. Everett N. Dick, sponsor of the proposed organization, com- mended the veterans for their ser- vices rendered in the armed forces and for their noteworthy adjust- ments back to civilian life during the past few months. Dr. Dick appealed to the group for contin- ued servi to community, church, • nquet Attended b Pre-meds rold Shryock, Dean of da Division of the edical Evangelists, t sp: aker at the Mu Beta ban uet in the Lincoln otel, Sundry evening, April 22. In the 1 vely setting of the "Garden" reception room with tulip and iris floral decorations, a savory menu was served. The group was entertained by Lloyd Jackson at the piano and Barbara Dodson with her violin. Howard C. Seely, president of the club and master of ceremonies, introduced the guest speaker of the evening and the other. participants on the program. The occasion was strictly informal. Dr. Shryock told the prospective doctors what to expect upon ar- rival at the Loma Linda medical school. He described the surround. ings and the school life there. An impromptu speech was given by Dr. G. C. Jorgensen, sponsor of the club. He promised his stu- dents there would be no daily quiz the next morning. Sixty persons were in attend- ance. Other guests of honor were Dr. and Mrs. R. W. Woods and Dr. and Mrs. F. L. Marsh. Other club officers who contrib. uted to the planning of the ban- quet and program were Floyd Scott, vice-president, Ulric Mar- tin, treasurer, Mary Louise Love- (Continued on page 2) school, and nation. Oliver Ander- son discussed the duties of the vet- eran after discharge. The program included a reading by Mrs. Margie Hohensee, two vocal solos by Herbie Hohensee, and a skit, "This Ain't the Army," Gene Armor, Fred Metz, Bob Merickel, Bill Smith, Seaman 2nd Class, and Vernon Wahlen partic- ipating. Marion Rozmarin was at the solovox for interludes of music during the program, and Everett H. Lorenz presided as toastmaster. A motion picture followed the en- tertainment. The committee in charge of or- ganizing the banquet was made up of Walter Page, Tate Zytkoskee, George Carpenter, Robert Bain- um, Willard Regester, Glen Rice, Ken Holland and Gilbert Jorgen- sen. In addition to Dr. Dick, other veterans of World War I now ac- tively engaged in the organization of the Union College veterans are Dr. Guy Jorgensen, Mr. Arthur Holmes, and Dr. Robert Woods. .me•o4m..•:• Here's to the man— Who listens to our advice Who rejoices in our success Who scorns our enemies Who loves our friends Who laughs at our jokes And who ignores our ignorance 10,010.0•,041M, (31•••0411.11.1 The other day I paid a visit to the infirmary to see my roommate who has the mumps.

In interviewing Union's pros- pective medical students Dr. Shry- ock ascertained the motives, inten- tions, and capabilities of each, and, in turn, explained some of the features of tne medical college and the course. "The prevailing opinion that premedical students from certain of our colleges are more accept- able than others at the medical school is false," the guest com- mented positively. Students are accepted or rejected strictly ac- cording to the individual grades earned from their respective schools, he explained. It is said that Union College ranks third or fourth in the number of students that have entered into the medical course at Loma Linda. Before becoming the present dean of the Loma Linda section of the college, Dr. Shryock taught there as assistant professor of an- atomy, specializing in neurology and embryology. He is the son of Dr. Alfred Shryock, professor of the anatomy department. Dr. Al- fred Shryock has been on the med- ical college faculty perhaps longer than any other member. Not only is Dr. Harold Shryock an instructor, psychaiatrist, and counselor, but he also is a very capable writer. Many of his ar- ticles have appeared in well-known medical and scientific magazines.

The program for the evening, entitled "Moments Musicale", was under the general direction of Marlys Plinke-Owen. Feature at- tractions were the All-Girl Or- chestra and Chorus directed by Lorraine Waller and Maryon Jung, the speech choir directed by Marlys Plinke-Owen, and the col- orful sash drill directed by Betty Yarwood.

"Now, it's only 15c!" "How come?" "You read a nickel's worth from my Reader's Digest!" When I heard these words com- ing from a South Hall room, I knew that it was Mike and Bob debating about the merits of the Mike and Bob . . . ? Yankees and the Red Sox, so I corralled them for an interview. Mike (supposedly christened Maynard) Loewen, six feet six inches in height and weighing 217 pounds, claims his residence as California after attending t h academies in the Dakotas. He says he wants to be a dean of men in an academy and would like to own a 1946 Mercury. When it comes to sports, Mike is always present —especially in basketball. From the desert wastes of New Mexico comes Bob Bell, five feet two inches tall and weighing 113 pounds and 2% ounces when fully dressed. He wants to own a 1946 Mercury and be a Bible teacher in the same academy where Mike is dean. When asked what his fa- vorite pastime was, Bob replied, "Wal, it's buying ice cream bars at Caviness' when Mike pays for them." Just then we were interrupted by Waltei Webb, who stuck his head in the door. Bob stoutly in- formed him that "We are being interviewed. Do you want me to throw you out?" Taking a second look, he added, "Or do you want Mike to?" At this point Mike had an in- spiration. "Do you know what Bobby's secret ambition is? It's to get married." Bob looked at him and in his soft drawl replied, "Mike's secret ambition is to get married, too, only he doesn't keep it secret." I took down this vital informa- tion and then heard the warning, "Hey, you can't print that!" Grab- bing my paper, I dashed for the door, deciding this was a good place to terminate an interview. Nebraska's Largest Frame Structure to be Remodeled Plans are being laid to remodel the largest frame building in Ne- braska. The present structure of the College View Seventh-day Ad- ventist church was completed in September of 1894. At that time the seating capacity was approxi- mately 1800, including those who could be seated in the vestries. The church membership numbered 350 in 1894. Since that early date, the church membership has grown to over one thousand. The college family soon joined the village in their Sabbath worship in the church building. The student enrollment has in- creased from year to year until it numbers 770 today. These mounting numbers have made it necessary for the church of- ficers to consider an enlarge- ment program which will give not only more seating capacity but also added conveniences. Wilson and Davies, Lincoln ar- chitects, have done considerable work on the plans. At present, A. T. Jensen, one of the church mem- bers, is working on the plans. Be- cause of present building restric- tions, it is not certain just when the remodeling will begin. Services will be carried on much in the same manner as they are now in the church building until the wall is broken through, at which time it may be necessary to use the col- lege auditorium. A new front entrance facing northeast with three door openings will greatly improve the facilities for entering and leaving the build- ing. Below the front entrance will be rest rooms and the ladies' lounge. There will be an enlarged rostrum with new furniture and a built-in choir loft. The baptistry will be elevated behind the ros- trum rather than beneath as it is now. New stained glass windows will face the north and east. The present vestry space will be opened into the regular auditorium, and an additional balcony will be built over the space that is now the front entrance. A new fire-proof Sabbath School building will connect with the present auditorium on the west side. This structure will house the Sabbath School division room, church offices, choir room, and minister's room. The additional space will seat approximately three hundred more members. 2 � CLOCK TOWER, MAY 6, 1946 PERSONALITIES ON PARADE The Inquiring Reporter Social Editor ______ Social Editor ____________________________ Betty McEachern Social Editor ______ � .

Editorial The clipping has been handed us: "Everyone can give pleasure in some way. One person may do it by coming into a room, and another by going out." This I think would show us the timely sub- jects of the chapel talks of late. Our personality—our moods and temperaments—has everything to do with the pleasure we may or may not give in coming in con- tact with our fellow students. Dr. Shryock would have us identify ourselves with the crest of the wave" of our temperaments-that time when we're at our best. There's a close connection between getting up in the world and getting up in the morning. If we would become leaders in our great movement we must cultivate that factor which will motivate us to rise above seeming obstacles in the morning, by getting up on the "right" side of the bed each morning—thus developing a personality fitting us for service. Leadership is what the world is most needing today. The con- fidence and the personality of Union College students can provide this. One young man was expressing his intentions for a career. "I am going to study medicine and become a great surgeon." "But," we objected, "isn't the medical field pretty crowded?" "Well, yes," he agreed hesitantly, "I suppose that's true. But, nevertheless, I shall study medicine, and those who are already in the profession will just have to take their chances!" Determination is the personality of a good leader! A leader is anyone who has these two characteristics; first, he is going somewhere—has a goal to reach; and, second, he is able to persuade other people to go with him. � With the near completion of But we cannot become leaders of ourselves; we must have that the science building, the science divine Power. In "Meditation at Midnight" as it appeared in De- departments are taking big steps mocracy-in-Action we find the sum source of our strength in the toward increasing their efficiency developing of that personality of leaders.

Equipment costing approximate- ly $4,000 has been purchased this year for the physics laboratory. The new equipment includes a lathe for the physics shop, a radio transmitter, a high voltage recti- fier, and new resistance and Wheatstone bridges. It is the plan, according to Dr. Woods, to offer to the students each year more and better instruments with which to work. By Muriel Chenburg Question: What bit of poetry is your favorite to read or recite? Mrs. Anne Dunn: "Collecting poetry is a hobby of mine, so it is a bit difficult to say what poem I like best. However, 'Trees' by Joyce Kilmer is one of my favorite bits of verse, and I enjoy reading the collected poems of Edgar Guest." Laurie MacPherson: "I love to read Wordsworth's 'Michael'. My next choices are: 'L'Envoy' by Kipling, 'Eve of St. Agnes' by Keats, `Evangeline' by Longfellow, and 'Lady of the Lake' by Scott." Vernon Emmerson:" 'Daffodils' by Wordsworth." Bob Laue: "For real solemn and enjoyable reading I usually turn to the last nine lines of 'Thanatopsis'. These lines are thought pro- voking." Mrs. Wold: "I prefer poetry that deals with the subject of nature. I like Robert Frost's 'Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening'." Howard Seely: "Whittier's 'Snow-Bound' is my favorite poem, I be- lieve. I also like Longfellow's 'A Psalm of Life' and The Child- ren's Hour'." Howard Mattison: " 'Maul Muller' by Whittier is first on my list. I very much enjoy reading Poe, and I especially like his 'The Raven' and 'Annabel Lee'." Marlys Plinke-Owen: "I find it impossible to limit myself to a 'bit' of poetry. I like poetry with a wearing quality. There is some poetry from which one receives new thought and inspiration from each reading. As to type of poetry, I prefer lyrics. As to authors, I am partial to Byron, Whitman, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Emily Dickinson. As to specific poems, I am partial to 'Sea Fever' by Masefield." Myrna Wiltse: "The section beginning 'What is so rare as a day in June?' from 'The Vision of Sir Launfal.' I also like Sandburg's 'Fog' Marion Travis: "Words that I think are beautiful and filled with in- spiration are found in the lyric 'He Lives' and in 'A Ballad of Trees and the Master' by Sidney Lanier." Henry Rieseberg: "I especially like these lines from Longfellow's 'The Song of Hiawatha': `Ye who love the haunts of Nature Love the sunshine on the meadow . . . . Who believe that in all ages Every human heart is human'." Melvin Gilliland: " `To a Waterfowl' by Bryant is one of my favorite poems. I prefer poetry that is of a somewhat serious type." Coramae Thomas: "It depends on my mood. I like 'Renascence' by Millay when I am in the mood for it. I like anything that Whit- man or Sandburg have written." Bill Garrison: "I often read the poem 'My Bible and I'. I believe the author is unknown." Francis Knittel: —God's World' by Millay and `Thanatopsis' by Bryant." Arthur Finch: "I don't like to recite poetry, but I do enjoy reading 'Chicago' by Sandburg and 'Dynamite' by Lew Sarett." John Butler: "My favorite is strophe 106 of Tennyson's 'In Memor- ium' which begins `Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.' " Tom Moore: "I like A. E. Housman's volume of verse A Shropshire Lad. My favorite bit of his verse is entitled 'Far in a Western Brooklyn'." Peggy Vikingson: "-`My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold' by Words- wortiv,is a very short poem that I like a lot." Harold Clark: i 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' by Tennyson." Dorothy Shaull: "I really don't know because there are so many poems that I like. Among my favorites are: 'If' by Kipling, 'Snow- Bound' by Whittier, 'Mending Wall' by Frost, and Bryant's `Thanatopsis'." Kenneth Burden: "I guess that I am just not very poetically minded, for about the only poetry I can think of is a Mother Goose rhyme." Marjorie Cates: "From 'Lincoln, the Man of the People' by Markham. - 'Up from the log cabin to the Capitol, One fire was on his spirit, one resolve— To send the keen ax to the root of wrong, Clearing a free way for the feet of God � , Esther Stoehr: "Edgar Guest is my favorite poet."

ORCHID GIFT SHOPPE OPEN Sundays 4-22,56 CLOCK TOWER, MAY 6, 1946 � 3 d • "Eat, drink, and be merry" is a term that could adequately ex- press what happens around each mealtime over at the Union Col- lege Cafeteria. The number 400 is usually used to illustrate the elite, but in this case, if it were stretched to 450, the approximate number who eat in the dining room for dinner would be derived. At mealtime only the results are viewed, but it takes more than just cooking to enable the cafeteria to function. Perhaps you are interested in what takes place beyond the cloged doors of the kitchen. The breakfast on Sunday morn- ing is prepared by Marjorie Cates. She not only helps a person start the day correctly, but the week as well. Margie has her hands in the baking, too, along with Cathie Chilson, who toasts the bread. Estelle Baker and Bruce Bacon carry the trays from the dining room. They are always on the job, too. Phyllis Greene's duties take her to the store room. She helps in the serving of foods as well. Have you ever wondered who is responsible for those delicious friend potatoes at supper? It is Harriet Howe. Freda Eastin is one of the chief helpers in the preparation for din- ner. Edna Mae Fuller serves at the hot deck for supper. It is Evelyn Hansen and Grace Washburn who do not miss a meal in serving. The consumption is not a small one in the line of bread anyway. It takes 72 loaves per day. Thurs- day's baking mounts up to 150 loaves. Eleven sheets of cake are baked when cake is the dessert. (15x24 inches is the size of the sheet, too!) To have enough rolls for Fri- day night and Saturday night, 1,400 rolls are baked. Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Boyer do the baking. It takes 200 pounds of potatoes to satisfy a hungry group per day, and when butter was available, 18.24 pounds a day were consum- ed. When canned vegetables were used, 12-15 gallons are required. Twenty cases of milk are con- sumed at each meal. (20 bottles in each case.) Helen Herr is always on the job at cold deck, along with Doris Myers and Ethel Reynolds. Raymond Hindmarsh heads the pot-and-pan brigade after supper. The head girl for supper prepa- ration is Eunice Larsen. Students Enjoy Film In chapel April 24, the students enjoyed a motion picture. The short was entitled "the Sport Par- ade." This showed many water sports including sail boating, boat racing, surf board riding, and swimming. The main feature was "Kamet Conquered." This film revealed the struggle put forth by men in an expedition to climb Mt. Kamet in Tibet. This mountain is over 24,000 feet high, and because of the lack of oxygen at this great height progress was slow. But as a reward for their fight against icy winds and snow, these men reached the top of Kamet and looked down on a most beautiful scene of clouds and mountains far below, Jeanette Numson sets cold deck and serves. For dinner, the deck is set by Gloria Woolsey. She also puts foods away. What would. Sabbath dinner be without Warren Sherbert and Raymond Hindmarsh serving the ice cream at that time. For advice on how to peel a po- tato the most effective way, see Ruthie Naustdal and Anna Eisen- man. Mr. Sandavol does pots and pans after dinner, and, with the help of Charles Payton, together they keep the kitchen floor scrub- bed neatly. You are very apt to see Mrs. Brown in her flower garden if not in the kitchen. She is in charge of the breakfasts and dinners. Sarah Embleton attends to the salads at dinner time. Arva Quance, Marion Stanger, Lynette Matheis, Shirley McCoy, Grace Simpson, and the Flemmer sisters, carry dishes from the dining room. Miss Sylvia Simon Other workers that help out on dish washing, etc., are: Dorothy Weisz, Melba Wipfrey, Della Files, Nadine Williams, Merilyn Hutches, Elaine Jacobson, Naomi Jensen, Marilyn Jahnke, Wilma Meier, Margaret Smith, Alice Ty- ler, Mildred Van Scoy (crumbs the tables), Rosella Marah, June Ozaki, Lottie Odell, Verda Ossow- skie, and Helen Rogers. When the kitchen is concerned it looks as though too many fingers don't spoil the pie. It is too many fingers that cause troubles anyway —it is too many fingers unorgan- ized. The checkers that greet you at the end of the deck are Evelyn Stevenson and Cora Rohde. Opal Winteifeld and Lois Ritchie are the dining room hostesses. The work is carried on efficiently under the capable leadership of Miss Syl- via Simon, the matron. BIT 0' WIT I don't want three motor cars Nor a home with fifteen rooms; I'm not crazy for stocks nor bonds Nor to get rich in the booms. Don't tempt me with servants and maids, Nor chauffeurs nor cooks, and such. I'm poor and I want to remain like this— I crave no wealth—Oh, No, Not Much! Y Y Sydney Smith said, "Marriage resembles a pair of shears, so join- ed that they cannot be separated; often moving in opposite direc- tions; yet always punishing any- one who comes between them." New Furniture Arrives Those students of Union Col- lege who harbor in their scientific souls the ambition to take organic chemistry, biology, a n d other science courses this summer in a modern, spacious, air-conditioned science building can now look up with hope. Yes, it may, and the science faculty say it will, be a reality. The furniture is here. Over twenty thousand dollars worth of furnishings are ready to be install- ed in the new building as soon as sufficient labor is furnished. Every department now has the necessary tables, desks, shelves, and chairs to begin classes as soon as the in- stallation processes are com- pleted. The furniture is of very high quality, the laboratory furniture having black acid-proof tops. The stockroom shelves were made by the college furniture factory. Oth- er items of mention are soap-stone sinks, slate blackboards, and mix- ing faucets. Venetian blinds will also be a distinct characteristic of the new building. Along with the furniture a num- ber of museum cases will be in- stalled in the biology department on third floor. Another feature of particular interest is the ground glass section taking the place of a portion of the blackboard in the physics lec- ture room. This cannot only be used for writing on with colored chalk, thus serving the same pur- pose as the rest of the board, but will be used to reflect motion pic- tures from a mirror in the next room. This device will enable the instructor to operate the projector and concurrently lecture from the picture on the screen. SOCIAL To enjoy a few days of College View springtime (or should we say summertime) comes Gloria Evey's mother, Mrs. Este Evey, from Cheyenne, Wyoming. Mrs. Evey arrived April 26, and since Gloria is definitely planning to accom- pany her home, it appears that she will be here to witness the im- pending siege of "finals." Alice Ganz proudly accepted the position of being the escortess of her guest brother, Ralph Ganz, of Swanville, near Minneapolis, Minnesota, over the week-end of April 28. Have you noticed certain "with- drawing tendencies" prevalent among the pre-nurses recently? It consists of conspicuous shouting and the shielding of the left upper extremity upon personal contact. Inoculations of typhoid serum and other traditional "shots" have given cause to such touch-me-not- ishness. For the sake of satisfying healthy curiosities we'd like to in- quire of the Physical Education department how many North Hall "dotters" have reported their as- cent and descent via stairs as "phy- sical activities"? No! They're not spoiled, but wasn't the elevator a blessing while it was in running condition? It now abides half-way 'twixt second and third floors, so unless an escolator is installed soon, North Hall girls "take the stairs" as the only alternative. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Berry, former Unionites of 1939.1941, and recently connected with the Kentucky - Tennessee Conference, visited Union College on their way to Minnesota. Mr. and Mrs. Berry are soon to leave as missionaries to Africa. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Hartman welcomed their brief visit on April 22. With them was their daughter, Marcy, who is enjoying a month's vacation from the Loma Linda School of Nursing in California. Mr. and Mrs. Hartman are doing a large part in developing Sunnydale Academy, near Centralia, Mis- souri, into a school worthy of the pride of all who attend this com- ing fall, and in future years. Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Martinson and family, of the Los Angeles section of the College of Medical Evangelists, were the guests of Mrs. Martinson's sister, Elaine SENIORS "SKIP" ANNUAL OUTING April 22, the senior class were off for Omaha on their annual excursion—senior skip day. After a minor mishap of a flat tire suffered by one of the cars, the group arrived at Father Flanni- gan's Boys Town, ten miles west of Omaha. Other places of interest that they saw were the School for the Deaf, airport, and Woodmen of the World Building. A few minutes were also spent in the W 0 W broadcasting station, where experiments with tele- vision were observed. After watching the teletype machines in the World Herald, the group of seniors went to the Union Pacific Railroad Museum, seeing many of the relics con- nected with the fight for the ex- tension of the railroad into the far west. At seven p.m. the last of the Concert (Continued from page 1) styles of Debussy and Stravinsky. The Suite from "The Water Music" by Handel, the opening number, was perhaps the least known of the entire program. The Beethoven Symphony No. VII is perhaps one of the great- est symphonic works coming from the classical period. It is full of imagination and is simply alive. Debussy's Prelude to "The Afternoon of a Faun," a sym- phonic poem, was the first of the modern works. The Suite from the Ballet "The Fire Bird" by Igor Stravinsky, a contempo- rary composer, closed the pro- gram. Poetically Speaking . By Tom Moore APRIL Far, in the valleys waiting It seems that you and I When April wrens were mating Were lovers walking by. There, by night and morning It seems I walked with you By tulip beds adorning The lawns with dainty hue. And now from brooklets flowing, A voice like yours it seems, As soft as petals snowing Keeps singing in my dreams. WHITE BOUQUETS From the window of my room I see the locusts are in bloom; All along the plain they stand, Snowing white upon the land. I have waited many days For these new white bouquets; Now today I see them there In the restless April air. And I wonder as I look Up the plain and down the brook, If the pleasures that they bring Will come again another spring. Johnson, and cousin, Ruth John- son. Lottie Bell Odell was made very happy by a week-end visit from her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Odell, and her sister, from Fort Scott, Kansas, on April 27-28. Mrs. Ruby Christianson and twins, from Pipestone, Minnesota, was seen on the campus, Sabbath, April 27. Welcome "home" from home, in Minnesota, Lorraine Mickelson. We missed you every day from April 19-29. And you, Marylene Hubert, who vacationed in St. Louis, Mis- souri, from April 19 to 28. How do you do it? Hugh Coy has a garden (for two), and everything is coming along nicely—Even the garden! ACADEMY PRESENTS M. V. PROGRAM The academy young people gave the M.V. program April 27 in the college chapel. Two special numbers were given be- fore the main feature of the pro- gram: Dean Holmes played a clarinet solo, and Eugene Syfert sang. A group then presented Tol- stoi's story, "Where Love Is, There God Is Also." Barbara Versaw read' the story, and Jim Stokos, Roger Eno, Dick War- ner, Betty Sue Hensley, Darlene Finnell, and Dicky Goodman represented the characters. The closing number was a vocal trio by Margie Roy, Wilma Swanson, and Joan Schmidt. Iona Roy accompanied them. four cars of passengers came into view of the CLOCK TovvEa, the end of a day well spent. The Minneapolis Symphony is one of the top five orchestras and is said to be the largest traveling orchestra in this coun- try. The concert-master and principal cellist, from Czecho- slovakia, help to make up the some 90-member group. Behind the pure surging power of this fine orchestral music, is the conductor, Dimitri Mitropoulos. Virtuoso among conductors, Mr. Mitropoulos memorizes every score, conducts without music or baton, and magnetizes audiences both by his personality and by his flash- ing display of pyrotechnics. Every part of his body moves rhythmically with the music; his face reflects the mood of the music he conducts. In an interview with Lloyd Jackson, Mr. Mitropoulos, the "fabulous Greek with monk-like habits who is making outstand- HONOR ROLL Alexander, Edna Maye 1 A 3 B's Holmes, Dean � 4 A's Mayer, Virgil � 2 A's 1 B Penno, Paul � 2 A's Roy, Iona �3 A's 1 B Versaw, Barbara 3 A's 1 B Venden, Jean � 4 A's B Average Bullock, Mark Christiansen, Arna Kleiman, Audrey McDermott, Lorena Niswonger, Betty Risely, Franklin Roy, Marjorie Schmidt, Joan Swanson, Wilma ing music history," revealed that he started his musical career at the age of seven, entering the Athens Conservatory at fourteen. "The student who wishes to be- come a piano virtuoso should begin his career at an early age —about eight or nine—and enter a conservatory at about four- teen." The music world does not require a college education. "A music student," he asserted, can do only one thing and do it well. He cannot be a master of two instruments." Mr. Mitropoulos is also regu- lar conductor of the Robinhood Dell Orchestra in Philadelphia.

Not the book, though that brings back memories now, and in the years to come. But rather the spirit for which the annual yearbook stands—the spirit of sacrifice to willingly fulfill the great "Go Ye." In a few more days they will be hung, those fitting symbols which are synonimous with the name of the college. What a record of toil, sacrifice, and then the glorious moment of triumph here in school they could tell if they but spoke. In our philosophical point of view this ceremony is but an honor, and it is an honor; but how small a compensation for the sorrow, heartbreak, and perhaps joy, that these cords represent as taking place in the mission field. As we watch these cords hung, one strand for each gone out during the past year, our hearts will thrill. With a deeper consecra- tion will come the longing to some day also share in this recogni- tion—that is the true spirit of Union and the Golden Cords.

Third Floor M GEE'S 4 � CLOCK TOWER, MAY 6, 1946 SPINDLE BITS Physically Speaking Olaf Hove and Merlene Ogden The high spot of the sports program for the past few weeks nas been the softball games be- tween the upper and lower di- vision students. On April 19, the upper division won by a score of 6-2. Th game was played quite evenly throughout except for the third inning when Gene Armour, the L. D. pitcher, gave up four runs. In their return engagement the L. D. team made up for its loss by winning with a score of 4-3. This was another well- played game with both teams right in there playing hard. The U. D. team started a rally in their half of the sixth inning but failed when Clarence Morgan was tagged out at home plate after trying to stretch a triple hitter into a grand homer. The semi-final of the girls' basketball league between the Southwest and Oggies proved to be the most closely contested game of the season. From the opening whistle both teams battled to a tie in official time making it necessary to play an overtime period. In the closing minutes of the game the South- west held a slight margin, but the Oggies tied the score in the last few seconds. Coming back from the rest period the Oggies made two quick baskets that proved to be the deciding factors as the game closed with the score of 19-15 with the Oggies on top. The Central team won from the Northerners by a score of 24-16, putting the Central team in the semi-finals. The finals will be played with- in the next week. Mary Bell and Freda Eastin took first place in the ball throw and 100-yard dash respectively at the school picnic. Mary Bell also took first place in the back- ward race. During the morning of the pic- nic the girls played a softball game. Both teams were a little rusty and the score ended 19-8 in favor of the Southwest. Southallogy, Keith Wheeler has been in the infirmary with the mumps, but his jaws have shrunk back to normal again now. Gardens seem to be the style here now. I guess the fellows are taking lessons from Hugh—any- way, Gordon Lundberg and Bob Bainum have a small patch of to- matoes, and they certainly are en- thusiastic about it. I hear that they planted them so the blossoms would attract the bees, and then the bees could make more honey. Looks like they want a little— honey! Don't blush now, but Dean Cul- ver had a shocking experience on third floor when he grabbed a doorknob that some culprit had wired up to a little gadget that emits sparks. Stop, look, and in- vestigate is the moral. A teacher wanting to know the ignorance of a young man, asked him if he knew what an interrogation was. "Yes, Sir," said he, "it's a little crooked thing that asks questions." Dean R. W. Woods spoke be- fore the men's club on Thursday evening, April 25, and told about his short-wave radio transmitter and receiver. He related experiences he 'had had in speaking with people all over the world and told many in- teresting incidents dealing with "ham" operators. Spanish Sabbath School in Action Have you ever wondered what sort of meeting was being held in the Bible room downstairs while the regular Sabbath School for the college was progressing in the chapel( Perhaps you didn't know , that a Spanish Sabbath school was even functioning. With its services carried on entirely in Spanish, the Sabbath School is necessarily confined to those able to understand some of the language. About thirty members assem- bled for the May 4 meeting where Morten Juberg was in charge. After the opening prayer by June Nickle, Betty Bliss read the report. The mission reading was given Bob McCorkle and a poem was read by John Goley. Elder R. J. Roy reviewed the previous week's lesson. The Sabbath School divides into two classes for its lesson study, one remain- ing in the Bible room and the other going to fourth floor. This Sabbath School is one of Stanley (Continued from page 2) At the time of her death Miss Stanley was serving as dietician in a large Kansas City hospital. Miss Stanley's death is indeed a loss, particularly to those with whom she was associated while here. She is the aunt of Loie Lee Francis, one of our students here this year. the most interesting and inspira- tional ever conducted in Union College according to reports from various people who are regular attendants. Miss Pearl Hall, the teacher of the Spanish classes here at Union, is sponsor of the Sabbath School. Silas R.
