Don't Forget the School Picnic Monday, May 2 i FRESHMAN NUMBER ER Cossack Chorus Will Be Here Saturday Evening -I Vol.. VI COLLEGE VIEW, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, A PRI L 28, 1932 No. 31 FRESHMAN EEK AT UI ON WE SYMPATHIZE I used to think that I would like to be the editor of some small paper for about a year and I would make something out of it. I had the idea that all the editor-in-chief had to do was to tell one of his assistant editors to go get some article and have it put in the next issue. I firmly believed that the editor had to think of the subjects he wanted articles about and then tell someone that he was to write the article and hand it in by, some set time and that was that. I thought that he always got the articles in on time and never had to worry about some article that was a little late. I used to think that everyone was anxious to write something just to see it in print with their names under or over it to prove to the world that they were journalists. I used to think that people would walk into the office and ask for an article to write about then have the thing completed and corrected several times before the set date for its being printed. I had the picture of an editor in a easy chair with his feet propped on the desk and a glass of iced water by his side and him reading an interesting story that had been handed him to put in his paper. In my mind I saw people running into the editor's office with big rolls of copy and I saw the editor look them over in a glance and then scratch some kind of a mark on it and the bearer would rush right out and have the copy in the paper in five minutes or less. But always the editor sat in an easy chair with very little to do and all day to do it in. Oh! for the life of an editor-1 thought. It was such a bgautiful picture that I made up my mind to be- come an editor and let other people do my work just like the real editors in the big cities had others do their work. And wonder of wonders! I finally became the editor-in-chief of a small college paper for one issue. At last my dreams were realized. Now I could tell. others just what to do and how to do it. They would run to me with both hands full of copy and just beg me to print the stuff and I would sit there arid tell them that the paper was already full and that I did not have any more room for their copy. If they wanted it to be printed they would have to get it in earlier in the week. I saw people just crying because I would not print the story that had taken them the awful length of time to write . up in such perfect order..Even after I became editor-in-chief I still had this idea in my poor little head. I called the assistants together and told them just what to do and whom to give the articles. They did all of that and then came back for more. Everything was working just the way I wanted it. Now I could think of a few more headings to write about and that would be all till the type was set. (Continued on page two) CALENDAR OF EVENTS Friday, April 29 Sunset 7:21 p. m.

I was both happy and sad at this time—happy because I was at last about to realize my long- looked-for opportunity, going to Union, and sad because of the thought of having to be separated from my people for nine long months. It seemed too much at once to be drawn away from home and par- ents after spending all my previous life with them constantly. After a time I forgot about the de- pressing picture and looked only upon the 'bright side. I was thrilled to think that at last I would be able to attend a college of my own faith, to have Christ- ian associates, to be able to take part in all the activities. In public grade and high school, I had often stayed home from activities because they were on Fri- day nights. Now, too, I would have church privileges. 'We had always lives in small towns where there was no Ad- ventist church; in fact, many times we were the only believers in this faith. We would study the Sabbath school lesson and Bible at home alone unless there was some other interested soul in town. The bus rambled right along all the time. The farther from home we were, the older and more responsible_ I felt. Ai there was a very sociable and jolly "bunch" on the bus, I soon became in- grossed in the conversation. There were several sailors on the bus, one of whom brought down his suitcase to show L many curios, pictures, and linens fro China. As it was getting late, many of are passengers lay down to sleep. I fixes myself comfortably, but did not sleep a wink the whole . night. We arrived at the Lincoln at arout 5:20 Monday morning. I inquired about the street cars going to College View and found out that they did not run until later. (Before I left home, Mother wanted to write the dean a note telling her to have somebody meet me at the station, but I prevailed upon her not .to do it, because I did not want the Un- ionites to think I was a' baby. I have found out since, however, that I would not have been considered a baby, for even one of the boys wrote just such a request.

These ar- ticles will be of special interest to those who are looking forward to mission work in Spanish-speaking countries.) it was not unto we were some U1Slcillt.e irom land and viewed some or tue °wet passengers that we were led to realize chat we were indeed separating ourseive; iroin one country, custom and civiozat.on and were entering another country with its distinct customs and different stand- ardi of civilization. On board, there was a Chicago bride and groom taking their honeymoon to Panama. A young man from Glasgow, Scotland, was on his way to l'alara, Peru, to enter the services of the English oil industries there. A Mexican opera singer was on his way to the City of the Kings (Lima) to be engaged for a few evenings of entertainment. Opposite us at the dining table always sat the Japanese ambassador to Peru. Last, but not least, I will mention the one thousand Japanese women on their way to Peru to be wed. The greater part of them were going on faith that a good husband had been chosen for them, as the ceremonies were being arranged b.y agents .for that purpose. There were also a number of Chinese and Hindi! pas- sengers. You can understand after I have enum- erated these cosmopolitan travelers that we felt pretty much in a foreign country and that we were already being accli- mated, I began to wonder which lang- uage we should learn, or if it would be possible to learn any among the none- understandable expressions that arose at all times on all sides. We gradually got out into deep wa- ter, where some who had never tried sailing before found they had lost their appetites, and in fact lost their interest in what they had eaten just a few hours before. But, the "Gingu Maru" being a freight ship to quite large dinknsions did not sway so much in the quiet Paci- fic's waves. It was but a few days' trip to Man- zaulea, Mexico, where we were really initiated into Latin-American life. A re- volution was raging in Mexico at the time of the visit there. (It would be a thing of interest to visit Mexico when there was not a revolution.) The poverty, ignorance, and filth in existence was enough to cause us to feel that our ocean trip could advantageously end there and our mission work begin in the land of the Aztecs instead of traveling farther south to the land of the Incas. We played the part of good travelers by buy- ing a few species of fruit brought out by natives to the ship in little dugout canoes. We also entertained native div- ers with our pennies. Our next stop was at Colon, the Paci- fic entrance of Panama Canal. We were pleasantly entertained by the workers of the Central American Division. We vis- ited the great locks from Colon on one end to Cristobal on the other and mar- velled at the great accomplishment of man in constructing such gigantic works in the face of opposing nature. The tropi- cal city of Panama had its allotments even to the age-old custom of Edenic clothing worn by negro children up to eight years old. Our journey south continued to Quito, Equador and then on to Trujillo, Peru. We had sent a telegram to Pastor Wm. Miller to meet us at the port of Trujillo. It was indeed a treat to see their faces glow with joy at seeing Americans re- cently from the "Home Land, - Already we, too, began to think It would be a great event to see some one from the states, to whom we could tell some of our experiences. Two days later the words "Callao, a la vista - were sounded several times bright and early in the morning. The words meant "Callao can be seen." At last after twenty-two days on board the "Gingu Maru" we arrived at Callao, the port of Lima, Peru. Yes, we were in the "Land of Manana," and it took us al- most till manana (tomorrow) before the Peruvian officers and other officials granted us permission to disembark, (Continued on page four) 1 he senate adopted a resoitution to authorize a joint commission as recom- mended by President Hoover to study reorganization ot the government depart- ments, phis coming August, there will be a total 'eclipse ot the sun for just ninety- nine seconds, and science announced ii is ready with thousands of dollars worth of instruments and equipment. Successful tests are practically certain, because air- planes will carry observers above any clouds which might obscure vision. Chinese reports from northeast Hupeh province said an earthquake April 6 took a terrible toll, "several tens of thousands of persons perishing.'" The dispatches con- cluded that the quake had been."a terrible visitation upon the people who already have suffered untold plundering from communists and bandits." Britain's expectation of a revision or cancellation of war debts this year was clearly indicated by Neville Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchecquer, in introduc- ing his 1932-33 budget in the house of commons. Chamberlain said that "Britain .stands for general all around cancellation. He said he had not included in his es- timated receipts anything from repara- tions of war debts owed to Britain by her dominions and former allies, and like- wise had made no provision to meet pay- ment of Britain's war debt to the U. S. Chile has gone off the gold standard officially, after nine months of unsuc- cessful efforts to maintain the peso at par thru rigid control of purchases of foreign exchange in the legitimate mar- ket.

Charles G. Dawes attacked the $2,000,- 000,000 -- soldiers bonus bill before the house ways 'and means committee. He said the measure would so inflate cur- rency "that general confidence in the country would be destroyed." Four students were arrested and con- siderable property damage was reported after a wild demonstration in which 3,000 Harvard university undergraduates parti- cipated. They were repulsed by police with tear bombs. Sixteen students in the University of Missouri were suspended indefinitely, af- ter investigation by the disciplinary com- mittee of the university of the student shooting March 22 in which one youth was seriously wounded and two others shot. The shooting climaxed a campus feud between laws and engineers. Acid thrown at a ballot box during a campus election burned four University of Min- nesota students, one severely. President Hoover and leaders of the republican controlled senate appeared to be approaching an open break on the economy issue. The administration re- sents the senate's apparent determination to make flat 10 percent reductions in the appropriation bills for all government departments. Weekly Review of World Affairs BY HAROLD LINCOLN Bookmen Can Be Real Entertainers UNION'S FRESHMAN SABBATH SCHOOL "Wow! where's. the music coming from? Boy that sounds great. Say, it's in the dining room. What's going on? "What's the idea of changing the din-, ing room all around? The tables are ar- ranged in two straight lines on both sides of the room, with a short table !ii the center toward the eastern end. The main part of the center of the room is blank. What's the grand idea, anyway? Miss Lankford isn't even seating the diners I'll bet this is gonna be great." The music that was heard came ficm a string quartette composed of Theodora Ridgeway, Wallace Nethery, Della Kre• mer. and Clayoma Engel. Miss Ada Wil- liams played the piano accompaniment. The music was a real treat. Many of the students were wishing that there would be such music for every dinner. After most of the diners had been seat- ed, there was a pause as Pastor Camp- bell offered the blessing, after which the music and eating continued for a spell until most of the victuals had been con- sumed. Brother Collins, the new Central Un- ion field missionary secretary, formerly of the Illinois Conference, acted as boastmaster and announced the first song. It was a special song written for the colporteurs called "The Bookman Rally Song," sung to the tune of "The Battle Hyinn of the Republic," Daniel Mc- Adams, a student colporteur, acted as the leader. The spectators and diners were then treated to a song by a quartet of boys: Calvin Gordon, Chester Barger, Clinton von Pohle, and Harry Craig. The latter carried the air in the song, entitled "Come Spirit Come." This was especially fitting as it takes plenty of spirit, courage, and stick-to-it-ive-ness to become a real col- porteur. Brother Collins persuaded Brother Franklin, the associate secretary of the General Conference publishing depart- ment, who has charge of all the publish- ing and literature work of the Seventh- day Adventists in the United States, to give a canvass to show the students how to do it. Brother Franklin proceded like this: A terrible pounding on the door. Sounded as if someone was trying to break it down. Brother L. P. Knecht. acting as a farmer just in from the field for dinner, opened the door. "Hello, I'm just a bookman coming through the country trying to sell a few books. I'll step in and show you. I'll just wipe the mud off here on the rug." He was chewing gum and failed to take off his hat as he sauntered - into the room and deposited himself in the biggest easy chair that he could find. After a few in- troductory remarks he' stood up and leisurely threw away his gum. "Terrible weather we're having," start- ed the 'colporteur. "But it isn't near as bad as the hard times we are having, is it?" -No, times are :terrible." "I'm here to sell you a book. It's quiet a large book, about eight hundred pages. It'll take you all. of three years to read it. It's a good book. You should buy it. I wouldn't advise you to take this cover- ing; it costs too much--about eight dol- lars. This cover is a good, lasting quality. You should have it. It's a good book, It'll set your mind right on lots of good Bible subjects." During this talk the colporteur has brought up his chair till.it faces his pros- pect. He is holding the book so he can read it but the prospect cannot. In this way he is leafing through the prospectus showing it to himself and trying to re- member the good points of the book. All the time he is trying to agree with the farmer that crops and money are scarce, and that it is not likely that there will be any crops next year. Finally he drops the book and picks it up, looking for the place again. -Have you sold any of these books yet?" the farmer asks. "No, not yet. I have been working only about three weeks, and I thought you might want one and would head my list of customers. It's a good book; it'll set you straight on many ideas. - "I forgot my order book. I'll just put the order in the hook and you can pay for it when I deliver it. Got a pencil? Thanks. (Continued on page four) Unique Report Read by Walter Specht. Dave Olson Superin- tendent. Mission Talk Good BELOVED: Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to .;et forth in order a declaration of those things which most certainly oc- cured among us, even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word; it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first to write unto thee it order, most excellent Christians, that thou mightest know the certainty of those things whereof thou hast heard. Now it came to Pass in the last days that there was a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. And it came to pass on the twenty and third day of the fourth month that the children of Israel gathered themselves to- gether as one man in the Lord's house. which was in Lincoln, to hear the words of the Lord and to sing praises unto the rock of their salvation. And those in charge were of the younger generation, being at Lincoln a short while. And behold a young man whose sur- name was Smith brought out the book of Isaiah before the congregation both of men and women. And he stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made For that purrocr. and tsrsnm-I the book in the sight of all the people (for he was above all the people), and when he had opened it he began to read. And all the people bowed their heads and wor- shipped the Lord. And the young man blessed the Lord, the great God. And the people answered "Amen, Amen," with lifting up their heads. And all the people arose and began to sing with great joy, of one called Sav- iour who should be lifted up that he might draw all men unto him. And when they had made an end of singing as the custom was one among them stood up for to read. And behold it was a man named Specht. And he read concerning the things which the scribes had written and which the people had done in former days. And when he had sat down, trumpets began to blow as 'the sound of cornets and behold it was two young men re- joicing in the Lord by sounding their horns. And they played mightily so that (Continued on page four) FRESHMAN GIRLS AT UNION CAN YOU IMAGINE Glenna Adams as tall as Esther House? Muriel Fleming as noisy as Laura Camp- bell?

(Continued from page four) EDITORIAL STAFF STANSBURY GABLE • David Olson, Pauline Wickwire • Freshman Editor-in-Chief Assistant Editors WE SYMPATHIZE (Continued from page one) Poor little innocent child. Little did I know that everyone was busy and couldn't possibly write an article or that they had a paper that they just had to get in for rhetoric class by this time next week and that they hadn't started it as yet. Or that they had never written anything in their lives and didn't know just what to say or how to say it or how long to make it. Or that they didn't know anything about the subject and that it was too much work and so they guessed they would not do it this time but to come around some time when you —only wanted a news note about something they had done. I was amazed to learn that some of the people that played ball, tennis, golf, basketball, and the like for two or three hours a day and spent the rest of the day resting up from the exercise didn't have enough time to write a little five hundred word theme for their school paper. Yet they are the first to ask whether they were going to get one this week and why is it so late. I was surprised to learn that there were a great number of people that would take an article and tell the editor that they would write it and then wait till the last minute and come around and say that they were terribly sorry but that they just didn't have time to write it and that if you could you had better get someone else that knows how to write it this time. Then I learned that an editor had two things to do. The second of which was to go to all of the ones that he had given an article to and ask them if the article is written and if not, why. After doing this to each of the writers several times apiece he comes to the con- clusion that he has the third thing to do and that is to give the writer some kind of an inspiration. Now this job of editing a paper begins to be a little harder and the position of editor-in-chief becomes a running proposition (running from one to the other ). About this time the editor begins to wonder if there will be a paper this week or if there will be enough to print it only half as big or leave two pages blank. But never mind, he still has two days in which to get the last of the copy in. That'll be plenty of time to get it all in. Another day goes by and one of the ones that he has banked on comes and tells him that he, the would-be writer, has had a pet mouse in the waste basket and that he could not think while the mouse was making so much noise and it seemed so happy that he just couldn't disturb -it for the world. So that copy will never come in. The night before all of the copy has to be in, the editor makes one last round to collect all the copy for the great paper that was to be such a wonderful thing. He receives only four of the six articles and three of them only take a paragraph when he had planned on at least a column apiece. Well never mind. He dashes madly over for a copyist and learns that not a girl can get out of the building to copy a thing. That's his hard luck if the thing is late. No, absolutely not. The only thing a girl can get out of the dormitory for is to work in the print shop on some rush job that has to be in the post office in the morning. But not to copy stuff that made up the thing that has to be in the post office the first thing in the morning. No, absolutely no. About this time the editor finds that he has the fourth thing to do and that is to copy all of the articles himself. When he finally has the last letter copied he finds that he has about one third enough copy and then the fifth and biggest thing comes to him to do. Now he will have to sit down and write an article himself. The article turns into two articles, then three, then four, then five. By this time the editor finds that the word EDITOR means planner, writer, setter, printer, and deliverer. Yes, my dream has come true. I have been editor of a small col- lege paper and have made something out of it but for some reason it doesn't look exactly like I thought it might. I still wonder why. Being editor once is enough! Now, we sympathize with the regular editors of the CLOCK TOWER for they have to do all of the work and get not even a "Thank You" for the time they put into the paper that goes to make this col- lege stand out among the others as one of the best. The paper that is put out by the student body should be written by the students that are in the school. Not by the editor alone. Now, you sympathize with the regular editors of the CLOCK TOWER by doing what they ask and turning in items of interest with- out their having to run you down every time they get within shoot- ing distance of you. Make the school paper a thing of the students, by the students, and for the interests of the students, and the school back of it. Put Union on the map by supporting the school paper and make it the best in the denomination. 'We can do it, of course we can." JUSTIFICATION What a roar of derision usually follows a Freshman who con- tinually asks questions. However, if the truth were known, such an inquiring mind is possessed only by the really potential wise man of the future. The Scientist heads the list as the greatest questioner of the age. He questions everything. He is constantly asking why do rocks crumble, why does grain sprout, why did the apple fall to the ground instead of up, and which came first, the hen or- the egg? A question raiser is not easily fooled. He soon acquires a vast fund of knowledge which automatically begins to answer his own questions and aside from quickly learning that the best way to ob- tain information is to ask for it—such. an inquiring soul soon learns to know better than to ask his upper classmen. This mainly because such answers would only be second-hand ideas at best, for he soon learns that they too have more than likely received the idea from some one else. But the questions must be answered, and wherever the will to know is as great as the faculty of inquiry—it is a sure sign of a hidden great career of a leader of men. For questions beget informa- tion and information begets deductions and deductions beget wisdom and wisdom answers its own questions. That is the point. An inquir- ing mind works in a wide circle out where Scientists, Physicists, and Therapeuticphysiotherapists are born. Hence the questioning Fresh- man is the wisest of men! A CHALLENGE The alterioriation of super classmen's human energy in ex- postulating the inferiority of Freshman is tantamont to a confession of defenseless egotism comparable only to the mythical cooking utensil which accused its companion kettle of being a double ultra spectrum hue. Now after a psychological investigation of this metaphysical and inconsistent conglomeration we are inclined to consider any such at- tempt to promulgate the inferiority complex as a marked evidence of the lowered mental profundity of such inconsequential propogandists and to such insidious insinuations the rising generation of Freshmen have resolved to always answer—"OH! YEH?" FO-68 RELIABLE EASONABLE ESP ONSIBLE TYPEWRITERS FOR RENT Royals Underwoods Smiths Remingtons Special rate to students for lon g term. Royal Portables — the ideal students machine.

Our printed programs in- formed us that the girls were studying German over in tile old country, - where, of course, one gets the prop,r atmos- phere, - you know. '1 heir mother had pro- mised them a handsome present it they showed a suitable degree of proficiency when she returned. Helen Hanhardt was the faithful maid . who insisted that the girls speak - auf Deutsch"! One of the sisters got a letter which brought the glad news that their best boy friends from the god old U. S, were coming up from Berlin for a visit, and of course Arna and Madge became excited and flustered and had to run upstairs to get ready. It wasn't long before Dave Olsen and Bob Heine were meeting the maid, in- quiring for the girls, and practicing a few German expressions of amorousness which led the maid to decide once for all that American men are bold and flip- pant. When the girls appeared, they were not allowed to speak in English, and things might have been awkward had not the boys brought along a German news- paper which each lad took a turn at read- in while the other gazed fondly at his girl. Whenever the silence became embar- assing, Dave came to the rescue with the one German expression he had mastered thoroughly: "Wir kommen aus Berlin." Soon the maid lost her patience with this fooling, and the couples went out into the garden for a stroll. Miss Couch was the mother who came in about this time with the teacher, Miss Myrtle Reinmuth. The mother was so pleased with the headway the girls had made that she let them choose their re- ward. For some reason the young ladies expressed a decided preference for the company of the young men, and thus the scene ended on a note of happiness and optimism. The Colporteurs' Institute was opened in chapel Friday. On the platform with the field secretaries of this union was Brother E. E. Franklin, associate secre- tary of the Publishing Department of the General Conference. The talk he gave was full of the typical vigor and enthus- iasm of the successful colporteur. Brother Franklin, who earned his own education by canvassing, gave an explanation of the scholarship plan for students 2nd told several of his interesting experiences in the field. Bells (with apologies to Edgar Allen Poe) Hear the loud alarm bells— Rising bells! What a world of happiness and comfort it dispells, How they jangle; how they wrangle In the dazzle of the light! While the moon that still is glowing Seems to nod his head in knowing With a grin to all in sight. As staccatto clatter, banging 'ore my chamber door Breaks my sleep and drags me to the floor. II Hear the clatter of the hells— Worship bells! What a tale of hurry now their tur- bulancy tells In the ear of would-be-wise. How the scream out their surprise Too much horrified to speak They can only shriek, shriek, All at once In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the dean. III Hear the mellow breakfast bells— Welcome bells What a world of waiting now their harmony dispells! Oh, from out the opening cells What a gush of students wells How it swells How it dwells Of the future!—how it tells On the rapture that impells To the tapping and the rapping Of the bells, bells, bells, Of the bells, bells, bells, bells— bells, bells bells— To the tapping and the rapping of the bells. IV Hear the calling of the bells— Class bells What a world of solemn thought their melody compells! And the bustle of the late— How they shiver at their fate And the melancholymenace of the profs. For every sound that floats From the tongue within their throats Is a quiz. And the students--oh, the students— They that hurried up the stairs After roll And who thinking, thinking, thinking In that muffled monotone. Feel a glory in so knowing What the mighty prof demands. V The profs are neither man nor woman— They are neither brute nor human— They are cogs And their wheel, the clock which tolls And it rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls, An anger from the bells And my bosom swells With indignation at the bells As we study and we labor Keeping time, time, time In a sort of magic rhyme To .the moaning of the bells Of the bells. CHATS ON HOME- MAKING Directed by MISS MINNIE OLSON VEGETABLES Vegetable colors fall into four groups —green, red, yellow, and creamy white— all of which are distinct chemic'al com- pounds of unlike properties. Chlorophyll,, the coloring matter of green vegetables, is almost insoluble in water, The green pigment is very readi- ly destroyed by cooking conditions. Heat and acid are its enemies. The acid which causes the trouble in cooking, surprising as it may seem, comes from the vegetable itself. The cooking vessel should be left uncovered particularly during the first few minutes of cooking, so as to allow the soluble acids, which are evolved in greatest abundance at that time, to pass off in the steam. The use of soda to pre- serve the green color should be discour- aged, because it tends to destroy the vitamins. The red vegetables are very few, being limited, chiefly, to beets, and red cabbage. Acids intensify the red col- or, while alkalis causes them to change to a purplish blue. Acids tend to 'pro- tect• the vitamins, rather than destroy them. The coloring matter of bright-yel- low vegetables such as carrots, squash and sweet potatoes belong to a class of pigments called "craotipoids. - It is in- teresting to know that the yellow caro- tinoids of vegetables are the very same pigments which are found in milk fat, and hence in butter and in egg yolk, The animal body cannot synthesize these pig- ments; therefore, some is present in the food, none appears in the body fat, milk or eggs. The yellow pigments are almost insoluble in water and are quite stable, being but little, if any affected by the conditions of cooking. Tht darkening oc- casionally seen in the cooking of yellow vegetables is more probably due to the scorching of the sugary juice than to a decomposition of the yellow pigments. We are not accustomed to think of white vegetables as containing any color; and it possible that some of them—Irish potatoes and white onions, for example— do not. There is, however a disagreeable, and as yet unexplained color-change which may occur in cooking white vege- tables. They turn a brownish gray. It 'is possible that in long cooking, the iron and sulphur of the vegetables have a chance to get together and form a dark compound. Whatever the cause it is cer- tain that white vegetables do not darken unless overcooked. By short cooking to prevent darkening we tend to prevent the development of bad taste and cdor. The students of Union were given an opportunity in chapel Monday to becom acquainted with Brother D. E. Collins, the new field secretary of the Central Unitn Conference. Brother Collins, who has had years of experience in the col- porteur work, urged that many students take advantage of the scholarship plan and thus provide for - their next year's schooling while, at the same time, doing a soul-winning work.

"College Pals 11 Give Program At Cortland The College Pals, a Union College quartet composed of Chester Barger, Harry Craig, Clinton von Pohle, and Cal- vin Gordon, had charge of the services in the Cortland church Sabbath morning. In place of the regular eleven o'clock preaching service, the time was turned over to the quartet, who rendered a pro- gram of sacred and classical music, both vocal and instrumental. Ben Hassenfiug, the student pastor of the Cortland church, introduced the mem- bers of the quartet at the beginning of the service. Lester Trubey also accom- panied the group to Cortland. The program was divided into three groups of quartet numbers, interspersed with special selections. The first group was started with a solo by Harry Craig, "The Wayside Cross, - accompanied by the quartet with Chester Barger at the piano. This was followed by three quartet numbers, "Only Jesus," by Wilsop,;_ "The Wondrous :Cross, - by Pdfks; and 'River of Life, - by Wilson. A duet, "Saving Grace, - by Towner, was sung by Chester Barger and Calvin Gordon, with Clinton von Pohle at the piano, before the quartet turned to their second group. It consisted of three num- bers: "Come Spirit Come, - a second tenor solo, accompanied by the quartet; "Beautiful Land," by Jones; and - Down Life's Valley With Jesus, - by Black. A piano solo, "Flower Song," by Lange, was then played by Clinton von Pohle. As a closing group the quartet sang - The Beautiful Country, - by Parks, ac- companied at the piano by Chester Bar- ger; "Walking With Thee," by Pontius; "Precious Memories," by Wright; and "Crossing the Bar," that immortal poem of Tennyson's, set to music by Breazley. The audience appeared to be very ap- preciative, in that they asked that more be sung after the outlined program had been concluded. In response, the quartet sang the old favorite, "The Church in the Wildwood, by Pitts. In the afternoon the group went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison at Princeton, where dinner had been pre- pared for them. The remainder of the afternoon was spent in group singing, a number of visitors at the Harrison home joining in. "Send campaign letters now!"

THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE THREE For Thursday night and Friday: some- what hot and cloudy in the northern por- tion of the campus. Slight showers in the southern part. Warmer and wonderful sushine in the lower rtgions of the south- western portion in the afternoon of Fri- day. For Sabbath somewhat colder with overhanging clouds covering the entire state of College. For Sunday fair and warmer in southern and south-western portion with temperature remaining about the same in northern portion. For Mon- day commencing about seven o'clock in the morning rain, hail, sleet, ice, mud, wind, snow, intersperced with frequent tornadoes, Violent earthquakes felt in the vicinity of Pioneers park. Clear weather coming about seven o'clock in the eve- ning along with sunshine, peace, quiet- ness, and serenades by the birds. And a lovely picnic was had by all. From the Chin Up "What measures a man's work value?" From your chin down you are worth about a dollar and a half a day. From the chin up yob are worth—any- thing. There's no limit. Without your head piece you are just an animal, and about as valuable as a horse—maybe. You have a mistaken idea, you think you are paid for your work. You are not. You are paid for what you think while you work. It's the kind of brain work that direct your hands that gives you your rating. And what gives you the most concern— the contents of your skull or the mass below your collar bone? You exercise your body, keep your arms strong and your legs limber and your waist line supple, but do you regularly exercise your cerebrum? Are your thoughts flabby, uncontrolled wayward and useless, though you are expert in golf or tennis? Is your thinker as keen, as alert, disci- plined, accurate and dependable as your hands? Where do you get your pleasures? From the chin down? Is it all dancing for your feet and meat fOr your belly and clothes for your back? And is all your fun in the cellar? Don't ybu ever have any fun in the attic? What interests you most—books or oys- ter cocktails? What pains you most—a stomach ache or a lie? How are you pulled? To what part of you is the tow cable fastened—to your loins or to your forehead? Suppose it were possible to live after the head had been severed from the body. Which part would you rather be —the head part or the meat part? What are you, anyhow—an animal pest- ered with a mind, or a soul? Do you know that the gist of culture and religion consists in transferring one's habitual enjoyments from below to above the nose? GIVES PIANO RECITAL Given by Gladys Munn, Assisted by Jeanette McKibben Gladys Munn, in her junior piano re- cital Sunday afternoon, proved the dex- terity of her fingers. She was very poised and seemed perfectly at ease during the entire performance. Especially was the keenness of her mind and the steadiness of her nerves made evident in the con- certo which was the first number on her characteristic program. After the concerto was so perfectly played, Miss Munn received a slight rest while Jeanette McKibben read the Piece entitled "Sarah Kentor's Dream." Miss McKibben is a very correct -reader and is sometimes a little stiff in her talking but she seemed to forget that she was talk- ing to an audince and spoke the reading with a very pleasing and interesting air. Miss Munn came back on the stage of action and played several numbers. The first was Vogals Prophet by Schumann. The second was the Prelude by Schult, and the last was Clair de Lune by De- bussy. Those present at the recital expressed their enjoyment of the program and sev- eral invited Miss Munn to play a few numbers for them. Consider the fish—he is never caught when his mouth is shut. Reserve Your Van Now FORD DELIVERY COMPANY B-3294 Fire Proof Storage ORCHESTRA RECITAL VERY INTrAtESTING High Class Performance Given to a Large and Appreciative Audience By Musicians If you thought that you knew just what was in store for you last Sabbath evening when you knew that Professor angel was going to have the orchestra play, you were mistaken. I was. I thought that I knew all of the musicians around here by their first, second and last names. I found that there were four violin play- ers that I had never seen, or didn't re- member seeing. Not to speak of all the cello players that were there. When you entered the door, if you were a little late, you saw a grand ar- ray of artists all ready to show you the proper way to play in a college orches- tra. The platform was filled to overflow- ing with many fair young ladies and it was interesting to look at them even if you don't care for the music. All was quiet as Professor Engel came out onto the platform and stood ready to start the noise. The first piece played was Symphony No. 5 by L. van Beet- hoven. It is rather a long piece and was played exceedingly well. The second piece was the Emperor Waltz by Johann Strauss. It took you back to the days when you first heard a waltz that you liked the sound of, or that you rather wanted to hear again in the near future. The third piece on the program was the Concerto by Edward Grieg. This piece was mainly for the piano with an or- chestra accompaniment. Professor Gernet played the piano as only he can play it. Professor Gernet is a natural musician and really knows where the keys are on a piano. It is a pleasure to hear him make one of the uncontrallable pieces of wood and iron talk in such a beauti- ful tone. The last number on the pro- gram was an Overture by Carl M. von Weber. The orchestra is a big benefit to the students that play as well as to the audiences that they play for. The reading of the more difficult music is a problem even for the experts in the line of music and in giving the college students the opportunity to study and learn the music of the great masters is an education all in itself for each individual member of the orchestra. Some of the music that was played went clear over the head of many of the listeners for they do not know just what to look for in such high class things. Therefore it as a good lesson in the ap- preciation of fine music and it helps the students to better appreciate the things of life more fully. There are many kinds of music. There is music in bells of all kinds. Even class bells. There is music in the moaning of the trees, in the soft summer breezes or in the harsh winter blasts. There is music in the ripple of the waters on the shores of the rivers and lakes. All we have to do in order to have music with us every place we go is to cultivate a taste for the finer and beautiful things of life and then we can hear nature sing to us as we are out in the country or strolling op and down the city streets. Cultivate a taste for the more classical things in man-made music and you will find that after a little you will hear the birds snging to you in the morning and the trees singing to you in the evening without any mechanical radio to bring you any of this canned music that is being sent all over the world today.

Lincoln, Nebr. By A Smok Weather didn't make much difference to the enthusiastic Seniors who gathered in front of the college kitchen Sunday morning all ready to "be up and going. However, as the day progressed we found that we had picked • a line day for the picnic. The eats had been prepared early in the morning and at eight-thirty we were ready to go. Six cars were loaded almost beyond their seating capacity and we set out for Crete. We were very un- happy to have to leave eight of our be- loved Seniors behind, but laboratories, themes, notebooks, and reports were pressing so heavily on their heels that it was impossible for them to go. To me, Crete is almost an ideal place for a picnic, and as soon as the cars had all arrived a big baseball game was in full swing. It makes little difference who the captains of the opposing sides were; what I want to get across is that I was on the winning team. It was a very ex- citing game and the other side was in the lead until the end of the fourth inning when we called in Miss Mantz to um- pire. After that, our side began making scores and won with a total score of is to 8. It is only fair to give due credit where it belongs so I must say here that 5 of the 8 scores which were made by the opposing side were made by Mrs. Moyers and Mrs. Keene who had special bats. Mrs. Moyers made 2N scores and Mrs. Keene 2% scorer. At twelve-thirty we ate our picnic din- ner which consisted of the regular picnic bill of fare: potato salad, baked beans, sandwiches, pickles, and candy bars. Nothing unusual about that, but it cer- tainly did taste good and' we Seniors did justice to it after that fast ball game. When dinner was over most of us went boating, and such a time as we did have! Anyone who has even been on a picnic where there' are boats knows the hazards and dangers that always accom- pany such a daring feat. I have heard several people (who are not Seniors and were not on the picnic) commenting on the plunge which Elinore Hahn took into the wie ter. Be it known, and take it from a Senior who was in near proximity of the daring feat of skill which Carl Moy- ers, Dorothy Aultfather, and Elinor Hahn exhibited, that Elinore did not go down into the water, but she certainly was close to it for a little while. Violets were to be found everyWbere and many of the Seniors came back with large • bouquets of the shy little flowers. A few casualties occurred put none of them were serious. Special mention should be made of our sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Ogden, Mr. and Mrs. Keene, and Mr. Kirstein, who entered into the spirit of picnic and made it enjoyable for all of us. OPPORTUNITY I am the Potter of human fate— Molder of laugh and sigh; All of the world I penetrate— Master of Dreams am I. Often uncalled I fashion the clay, Mold a new gladness or fame; Often rejected, vanish away, Seldom to come again. Mix not your tear drops with my clay, Only the brave I mold. Up when I call—I destine the way To love, to honor, or gold. Swiftly I pass by every man's gate, Nor tarry for lover or sigh; I am the Potter of human fate— Come, or I pass you by. —Selected. Desire joy and thank God for it. If need be, renounce it for other's sake. That is joy beyond joy. Love took up the harp of life, and Smote on all the chords with might Smote the chord of self that trembling Passed in music out of sight. —Tennyson. HORNUNG'S HARDWARE Phone 13 W ACROSS FROM CAMPUS If the farm and dairy boys were a bunch to be easily discouraged by such trifling things as clouds and chilly breezes they would have postponed their annual picnic from Sunday, April 24, to a day that showed more indications of sun- shine and balminess. But as the old say- ing goes "There is a silver lining to ev- ery dark cloud," the weather turned bet- ter later in the day. In fact it proved itself ideal as far as everyone who went on the picnic was concerned., After much hustling abcpit, collecting slickers and kodaks (a strange combin- ation to be sure) and after careful pre- paration of the substance that will come the nearest to satisfying the inner man— and it takes quality as well as quantity to satisfy the "inner farmer"—members of the gang loaded themselves into three cars along with ice cream containers and boxes and proceeded to make themselves as comfortable as possible while the pilots guided the "gasoline gobblers" toward the State Fish Hatchery. The trip was made in a short time and the farm- ers and dairymen along with the young ladies of the company (the chaperones too, of course) spent an enjoyable two hour period before dinner viewing the beautiful sights of the Fish Hatchery and of the grounds upon which the Hatchery is located. Then came the grand and glor- ious dinner hour! If there should be any- one who wants a person of extraordinary ability in planning picnic dinners, they ought to ask the "chambermaids of the cow hotel" to recommend someone. It is an absolute certain thing that they would recommend Mrs. Stout and her assistants. Well, to make a long story short—hun- gry, less hungry, not very hungry, not hungry at all, saturated! Dave Olson and Joe Tucker had their usual eating race and they were still living to tell about it Monday morning! Now, could a printshop man, or a craft shop man or a power house man even begin to accom- plish that admirable feat? (Note from the print shop: Just try us some time). We are rather inclined to think not! The only thing that marred' The dinner hour (picnic dinner hours, mind you, are longer than 60 minutes), to some extent was the fact that it decided to pelt rain and hail at that particular time. But that problem was easily solved. Everyone co-operated with everyone else by grabbing a cake or a pan of beans and making a dash for the cars. Mr. Stout sat with a cake under each arm and a bowl of salad on his knees and complained not one whit! The rain soon stopped and the meal was resumed with no more interruptions. After dinner a lively hike about the hills swung into progress. Who but a farmer could achieve such heights after a picnic din- ner? Even Mr. Stout hiked, and, if any- one happens to be interested, Mr. Stout is something over 200 pounds avoirdupois dairyman! The group left the ground for home at about 3:00 o'clock because time, tide and the flow of milk from Guernsey cows wait for no man. Ask the young ladies if they didn't have a good time! Those present at the picnic were Mr. and Mrs. Stout and Gor- don and Carmen, Ramona Nelson, Hazel Hutchison, Lorena Clement, Marguerite SWEETS For your best Sweetheart— YOUR MOTHER Mother 's Day May 8th A box of Brauch's Kitchen Made fruit flavored chocolates will please her, Introductory Offer $1.00-49c Attractive Mother's Day Greeting Cards 5c to 50c — Mottoes, For Mother — 39c, 50c, $1.50 MORSE'S Opposite South Hall 4% on Gold Gift Coupons Priest, Doris Kirstein, Annabelle Rumpf, Mabel Gosnell, - Mickey" McLaughlin, Messrs.

Interesting Recital Given by Expression Students Last Sunday afternon the Expression Department gave a recital under the di- rection of Mrs. Hilts, the teacher. The audience was rather small but very ap- preciative. They enjoyed the program Penrod's Busy Day" by Tarkington, was first given by Esther Miller in a very pleasing manner. She held the at- tention of the audience by the natural way in which she recited the piece. "Jean Steals a Breakfast" by Price was next given by Glennt Adams. Well, I'd steal a breakfast too, if I had too, to get anything to eat. The piece was rather humorous and higly entertaining. "Just Mother" by Anon, was given by Irene Ortner in a first class manner. There are many things that each of us remember about our mothers but in order to enjoy the beautiful piece recited by Miss Ortner you must hear it. "A Case of Fits" by Fillomer was given by Mrs. Belle Minchin. Mrs. Min- chin seems to have an interesting way all of her own in giving a reading. The Expression Department is doing a good work and is to be complimented on the way in which the work is carried on. If you ever find a situation in which you feel that you are lost for want of words then is the time you wish that you had taken expression lessons while you had the chance. Have you ever had the enjoyment of having something to say and no way in which to say it? No, of course you never have, that is yet to come. Have you ever been asked to give a short speech on the spur of the moment or to give a little reading at a party and you wish that you knew some- thing that would be suitable for the oc- casion? Well, maybe not, but I maintain that it is a good thing to be prepared for anything in these times. Have you ever been in the office of the president and found it hard to express yourself in any concrete terms that would answer the questions and yet tell him nothing? Then you have missed a treat and I would ad- vise you to take a few lessons to get in readiness to meet the grand and awful day. What do you say when you are thrilled to death over some grand spec- tacle? I know. You stand there in your tracks and say "Ahhhhhh" Why? I know that too. You should take a few lessons in expression and learn a few new ex- clamations that sound a little different so that you can change off once in a while and give the old expression a lit- tle rest. English is almost human, Use it too much and it gets tired and worn out and has to take a rest and be put among the unused words in the language. You wouldn't work one muscle till it couldn't move another time would you? Then why use the same expressions all the time and wear them out too? There's an answer to all of these things. Take expression next year and learn to express yourself to others by using new and different ideas in your speech. Not that the class will teach you any thing new to say, but it will teach you how to say a thing in a beautiful and pleasing way. And after all, that is half of your work—talking.

PAGE FOUR THE CLOCK TOWER DESIRED CHRISTIAN SURROUND- LIFE IN LATIN AMERICA INGS AND ASSOCIATES is a quiet chap in classes but he is al- Iota SigmaKappa Meets' BOOKMEN ENTERTAIN STUDENTS (Continued from page one) In a half hour or so I got the street car for College View. There . was only one other person on the street car, a young man who was also bound for Union. As we rounded the curve on Sheridan Boulevard the boy,said to me, "There's old Union." I said, "Where?" He said, "Just ahead of us there, Don't you see the Clock Tower?" "0, Is that Union?" I asked. From then on we kept watching it all the way. When we arrived at Union, Clell was kind enough to tell me which was North hall, the girls' dormitory, and we parted, I advanced to the front door of the build- ing that was pointed out to me as North hall, the girls' dormitory, and we parted. was locked. I was somewhat surprised at this, for I had read in the calendar that the rising bell rang at six. I thumped, pounded, and rattled the doors. Finally a young lady appeared in a kimona with her hair hanging down, looked out at me, and tried the doors. She too found it was locked and told me to wait until she found the keys. I waited, it seemed to me fifteen minutes, but it could not have been more than a few seconds. At last she found the right key, opened • the great door, and admitted me. I told her immediately that I wanted to see Miss Rees, the dean of women. She told me to be seated while she went to call Miss Rees. I sank into a lobby chair, glad for a little rest. Drowsiness was overtaking me now, and I thought that above all things I must have sleep. Miss Paxton soon reappeared to inform me that Miss Ress was not up yet. She asked me if I should like to lie down, which ques- toin I answered in the affirmative. She disappeared again down the hall try- ing to find an empty guest room, but in vain. So many new girls had come in that all the spare beds were full. Miss Paxton was very sweet to me. She took me upstairs to an empty room and gave me some of her own bed clothing. 1 spread these out some kind of way, lay down, and tried to sleep, but sleep had departed. My thought's strayed home. 1 felt like taking the street car back to Lincoln and boarding the first westbound bus. Do not think I am joking when 1 say that I was thinking seriously of do- ing this; in fact, it was all I could do to persuade myself to banish the idea. I lay there from shortly after six until nine o'clock fighting a battle which no one knew. I had such a struggle trying to wean myself from home that as yet I had no impressions of Union. The business office does not open un- til nine, and I knew 1 had to go over there to make arrangements for my trunk to be brought out, All the while I was making preparations to stay, but my mind was not settled as to staying. I kept saying to myself, "Now you know you have always wanted to be a teach- er, and you cannot teach if you always have to hang around home. Others have stood it, if they did so can you." I dreaded to unpack my trunl, because I was afraid that I'd make up my mind to go home and would not be able to ge. everything back in as my father hac packed it for me. I saw Miss Ress shortly after nine, and she sent someone over to the cafe with me for breakfast. After that she told me I should go register. Every time 1 hear the word "registration" it gives me a queer sensation. I thought that I- would be gray-headed before I completed the tanglesome process of re- gistration. At noon I made my first appearance in the dining hall. Everything looked so good as I went around deck that I took a big dinner. For some reason or other— I attribute it to home sicknessness—in spite of how nice it looked, I just could not manage to swallow my dinner, 1 knew if I would try to force any more down, what had already been deposited so laboriously would come up, so I left an unsightly looking place. After din- ner I got a room; my trunk came, and I was settled in a few hours. After this I began to feel better. After supper that evening several girls went for a walk with me. A few acquaint- ances help conditions a great deal. I could enjoy the beauty of the campus after that. Union College is known all over Lincoln for its pretty campus. The red brick buildings and winding walks look very pretty against the background of green grass and compassed about by vines, shrubs, and tall, stately trees. The homey parlor in North hall, the friendly attitude of both students and teachers soon made me feel at home. I was not one bit disappointed in Union, I found out that Union had a very cap- able faculty and that the students here are above the average. Memory of Fri- day evening and Sabbath morning wor- ship, seminar, vesper services, and Satur- day night programs will always cause a bright happy spot in my mind, I vowed that in my coming years at Union I am going to try to make the coming Fresh- men feel at home as the old students did then, for upper classmen are always ready to encourage and speak a kind word to a poor homesick Freshman. Believe that there were wise people before you and that there will be such after you, and do not imagine that wis- dom was born with you or will die with you. (Continued from page one) We were met by all the Union work- ers of the Inca Union and taken that evening to Miraflores, the beautiful su- burb of Lima, where most of all Ameri- cans and 1 - 2,nglish live, who were in Lima. The city of Lima, though having a population of sonic two hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants, does not ex- tend over more territory than a city of seventy-live thousand in the - States. he small mud-wailed house built right out to the sidewalk is often the home ror three or tour tamilies. '1 here is very little ground at the rear of each house tor garden purposes. Three Peruvian iamiiies would easily make their homes on one American lot, his explains the congested living conditions of those coun- tries which naturally results in an abund- ance of disease. Although Lima is now considered a modern and sanitary city, about half the population are walking skeleton victims of tuberculosis, and the other half, or at least a large part, have malaria. Protestant mission work among them is not so easily advanced because of deep-rooted Catholicism. Superstition rules the heart of the ignorant. Break- ing away from the old faith is to separ- ate themselves from all former associ- ates, friends and relatives, who consider the new convert to be a newly appointed colleague of Satan. Peru is undoubtedly one of the most interesting fields of the world in that it is a land of such great extremes. There are the extreme rich and poverty-stric- ken poor, the flower gardens and the mud walls, the gray mountain peaks and the low fertile green valleys. There are the haughty Spanish descendants, and the sad-faced Indian descendants of the Inca subjects. The home in the mountains of Central Peru where we lived three years cost seventy thousand dollars. It was like a monastery in size. On the opposite side of the street lived a poor Indian family in their "chosa" a mud-walled house of perhaps five dollars value. On the coast at sea level our mission has hundreds of believers. On the hill tops of the An- des are thousands of Sabbath-keepers. The section foreman and railroad crew of the highest railroad station in the world meet every Friday night in the section house at an altitude of nearly sixteen thousand feet, to raise their voic- es still higher in praise to the Master. It was in this section that Mr. Chris- tianson sold fifteen thousand Atalayas, the Watchman of South America. One afternoon only a few miles from there in a mining camp he sold two hundred dollars worth of the "Home Physician" in Spanish. In Miraflores, a suburb of the capitol, is located our Peruvian training school, "Instituto Industrial." Miraflores is true to its name, "Look at the flowers." In Juliaca, of southern Peru, we find an- other located out on the desolate, wind swept, Andean hills. These illustrations only help one to realize that to under- stand mission life to th ,s fullest extent in this land of varieties it would be ne- cessary not only to make a visit there, but to live there and learn the customs, and varied differences of the Republic and its inhabitants, There is always an opportunity to work for "others" in the mission field, which brings joy_ and con- tentment to the missionary.

MEETING LED BY GOSPEL WORKERS "Straightening Out of Mrs. Perkins" Presented; Audience Is Well Pleased The Gospel Workers' Seminar present- ed "The Straightening Out of Mrs. Perkins" in the chapel at the Missionary Volunteer hour Friday evening. The characters were: Mrs. CampwellMary Mason Mrs. Van Ness—Juanita Paxton Mrs. Perkins—Ruth Gardner Mr. Campwell—Russell Holmes Dr. May—Harry Bass At the opening of the story Mrs. Van Ness and Mrs. Campwell are talking. Mrs, Perkins, who is an Adventist, passes and the gossip is started. Mrs. Campwell decides to straighten out Mrs. Perkins on the Sabbath question. In the second scene Mrs. Campwell calls on Mrs. Perkins. She leads the con- versation to religious questions. In try- ing to convince Mrs. Perkins that Christ changed the Sabbath, she is unable to find any. Biblical proof. In scene three Mr. Campwell tries to find the texts which will help his wife in proving her point, There are no texts anywhere say- ing that Christ changed the day of wor- ship. He tells her to ask the pastor, Dr. May, regarding the Sabbath. In scene four Mrs. Campwell has visit- ed Dr. May who told her that they arc -living under grace, but Mrs. Perkins is living under the .Mosaic law. Later in the evening Mrs. Perkins calls and gives her a Bible study on the subject of the law and grace. In scene five Mrs. Perkins comes to give the Campwells another study and during this Dr. May enters, He wants to know why Mrs. Campwell has not been to church. She tells him that she is keep- ing the seventh day. Dr. May can't defend his stand and withdraws as grace- fully as possible. Scene six is six months later. The Campwells are on the way to church and they meet Mrs. Van Ness who demands an explanation. A discussion follows on the Sabbath question. Ruth Johnson played a prelude, and Clinton von Pohle gave special music between the scenes, A quartet, composed of Chester Wickwire, Louis Pettis, Robert Brown, and Robert Heine, sang between the last two scenes.. • Demonstrations in First Aid Given by Mr. E. S. Hild Thursday Evening The last time Sigma Iota Kappa met, we South hall men went strolling, and this dine as we entered the worship room we began to wonder if this time was to be a camping trip. The bundle around which was wrapped an army blanket was very suggestive. President Vernon Bec- ker's first remarks soon settled this pro- blem for us. He stated inasmuch as stroll- ing was out of order, the secretary Was not going to give a club report for lase time and then asked Walt Howe to in- troduce the speaker. Walt then introduced Mr. E. S. hilo who besides his executive work, has charge of the first aid work at the Iowa- Nebraska Power and Light Co. Mr. Hild's opening remarks were to the ef- fect that his co-partner in these demon- strations was unable to be present but inasmuch as Walt had taken the smae course with him he was certain Walt could take the co-partner's place. You would be surprised at the mistor- tunzs that overtook Walt in the Ilex, thirty minutes. Successfully he receive° a deep head gaSh, an eye injury, a show, der injury, a broken arm, a broken leg, and a sprained ankle. All of which ivir. Hild very sympathetically and solicitous- ly bandaged in the proper fashion. Per- haps the worst mishap Walt had was when he shot off his arm and was in a fair way to bleed to death. Mr. Hild again came to the rescue and showed us the artery, at the base of the neck, upon which to apply pressure to stop the bleed- ing. Naturally the strain was bcgia...n tell on Walt,'and lie was obviously nerv- ous, so Mr. Hild said he could go if so desired. He went, Dick Eickhoff was the next unfortunate man. He waded out into too deep water and drowned before help arrived. Mr. Hild immediately applied artificial respir- ation and in the course of about five minutes Dick was breathing normally again. Here Mr. Hild pointed out that some drowned, asphyxiated, or electro- cuted persons do not always recuperate so readily and that the person adminis- tering first aid should never give up but apply it until the doctor arrived, It was discovered that in some unkown manner they had broken Dick's leg above the knee and it was necessary to take him to the hospital to have it set. The ques- tion that arose was how to get him into an ambulance with the least pain. Mr. Hlid again was the man for the occasion and he immediately put the leg in tempor- ary splints. Phillip Bulgin and Cleo Smith were right on the front row ready to volunteer to carry him out to the waiting ambulance, single handed but as Mr. Hild called for three volunteers they settled back in their chairs and let Lester Tristbey, Ernest Hanson, and Art Rifen- bark volunteer. Art took the head posi- tion and was forced to substitute his right leg for his left before he could raise his part. This speaks well for Un- ion College instructors as they help2c . develop that head of Dick's. In conclusion, Mr. Hild said if we re- membered one point that was brought during the demonstration -he would feel his time was well spent and gave a sum. mary of his -points; First, Keep a levc, head. Second, Never give up until a doc- tor comes. Third, Do not bandage too tight, Fourth, Inasmuch as any injury is a shock to the nervous system, care should be taken to keep the patient warm and the blood flowing normally. School Picnic Next Monday Much Preparation Being Made; Good Time in Store for Everyone ' - "In the spring a young man's Pane) lightly turns to thoughts of ----baseball. This seems especially applicable to Un- ion College, for several games of the great American sport have already been recorded in the official score book, and already the grass in the bull-pen has been ground into the dust by our several pros- pective--and perspective, ranging from 5 feet 7 inches to 6 feet 4 inches in height, and from 150 lbs. to 185 lbs. in circumference (?)—pitchers. Several sore arms, a bruised head, the result of a wild throw, a few tender purple spots, and a limp or two, are the visual proofs of spring training found at Union. Training for what? Oh, don t you know? Haven't you heard? Can't you guess? Why, the spring school picnic, of course. We're all—or nearly all--count- ing the days till that great annual event It's a few days yet-4 to be exact—but we're limbering up the muscles that have become shriveled during the long con- finement of winter months, with the high hopes and expectations of getting all out of the one day's frolic that it is humanly possible for one group of youths to get out of any one day. Perhaps this coming event is respons- ible also for the vigorous running, jump- ing, pole-vaulting, and flower picking I have noticed taking place since warm weather made its appearance. Yes, we're all ready, so wind up the clock—and the Ford--and be ready to start at the sound (Continued from page one) "Now sign this and I'll deliver the book in a couple of months. Of course you'll have to take it now when I ar- rive. "I guess there's no chance to get sup- per here, so I'll go to the next house. Call 'em up and tell them I'm coming. Be there in about fifteen minutes. "By the way, what's the neighbor's name?" "Oh, they are a young couple, just came from college. I guess they just got married a while ago. Name's Walt Howe [a student here at Union this year], He'll be there. He hasn't been off the place for three months. "Say, why don't you get a good job somewhere? Why not try digging ditches or working on a farm?" "Do you think I could get a job? The farmers are not hiring many are they?" "No, I think I'll keep on selling these good books. I have a burden for the work and I guess I'll keep on canvassing. Someone might want one sometime." This concluded the model canvass, and Brother Franklin stood up and departed. On the way out he asked: "Well, what's wrong with it?" The music was continued for a short time by the orchestra. A curtain or screen was pulled back at the west end of the room and revealed an old-fashioned Ford drawn on paper. A man (Elder McKinley, of the South Dakota Conference), was tinkering with the car trying to make it run, but with no success. A colporteur steps up to him and offers his aid. After a short time the colporteur has the engine (a con- cealed cleaner), running, and so preceeds to sell the man a book. The colporteur part was played by B. E. Wagoner, field secretary of the South- western Union Conference. The extreme difference between the latter canvass and the first showed the prospective colporteurs how to act and how not to act while in the field' of God, spreading the message by the printed page. • Brother Collins asked the spectators to sing another song. This time it was the "Bookman's War Song." Brother E. H. Meyers, of the Kansas Conference, dismissed the gathering with prayer. • All were invited to attend the meeting in the chapel which followed immediately. It was a personal appeal to each and every one present to become a colporteur and to go out into the work of spreading this message to every tongue and people. — -- 0— IF If you can 'keep your head when all about you Arc losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you But make allowance for their doubting too; • If you can wait and not be tired by wait- ing, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise, If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Dis- aster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'ern up with worn out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and- toss, And lose, and start again at your be- ginnings And never breathe a word about your losg; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

And behold a damsel arose, whose name was Borton, and many interesting words proceded out of her mouth. And she spake concerning the gospel in the regions beyond the sea.
