XXIII � UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, JANUARY 15, 1948 � Number 8 North Hall Women Hold Open House The ladies of north hall enter- tained their friends Sunday after- noon, January 11, at a combination open house and tea. Visitors were admitted between the hours of 2:30 and 5:30 o'clock. All were conducted on a tour throughout the building. The pub- lic rooms, such as the lobby, par- lors, browsing room, and spread room were on display, as well as the private living quarters of the girls and their dean, Miss Pearl L. Rees. A program composed of instru- mental numbers, vocal solos and duets, and readings, was given in the large parlor. The program con- tinued throughout the entire three hours. The individual groups paused for a few moments during their' tour of the building to enjoy this excellent program in the par- lor. Mabel Hunter was hostess. Light refreshments were served in the spread room on fourth floor. The color scheme for the occasion was pink and white. Committee chairmen for the af- fair were Mabel Hunter, program; Gretchen Bock, refreshments; and Eileen Engeberg, grouping. r_3-`Y3`351r353?.:: ..X.30tY,X3f.3M33E.n?';.3UZY.1,X.7 Remember the CLOCK TOWER Snapshot Contest ("Pe' e'ti • r,f1f1.`' f.".",',,f1nnt?frX1,::,f.5 Golden Cords Program During the joint chapel period today, January 15, a promotional program was presented by the Golden Cords staff.

It was a Christmas story por- trayed in one of the best known and most popular musical compo- sitions of Tschaikowsky, "The Nut- cracker Suite." Before the music was played, an introduction was given by a mem- ber of the class which suggested ways of improving listening pleas- ure. It was learned that the art of appreciating good music depends upon knowledge and understand- ing of the life of the composer, and of the poem, the story, or the inci- dent which served as inspiration for its composition. Another mem- ber of the class described the char- acters of the story by Hoffman which served as the basis for this composition. Those taking part in the pro- grams were Myrna Wiltse, Blossom Church, Rober Firth, Chester Wahlen, and Robert Behr. MAX GENE NOHL SHOWS SEA PICTURES "The great field of exploration for tomorrow is the ocean floor—our last great frontier," said Max Gene Nohl, internationally famous deep sea diver and explorer, in an illus- trated lyceum lecture on the eve- ning of December 20, 1947. Mr. Nohl established a new world's record for deep sea diving on December 1, 1947. At a record depth of 420 feet Mr. Nohl's body, clad in a flexible rubber suit, with- stood a pressure of 600,000 pounds, the equivalent weight of 200 auto- mobiles. He is also widely known for his many inventions and innovations in underwater equipment. Mr. Nohl said a reward of 20 million dollars is offered to anyone who is successful in salvaging the sunken Lusitania, which is thought to be resting on the ocean bed a few miles off the coast of Ireland. The color motion pictures gave a glimpse of the adventure found on the ocean's floor. College Will Begin Weekly Broadcasts Next Sunday "Morning Moods" will make its initial broadcast next Sunday morning, January 18, at 9 a.m. on station KFOR, Lincoln. This pro- gram, which has been planned for some months, will be a weekly fea- ture sponsored by Union College. Mrs. Harlyn Abel will he at the organ and other music will be pro- vided by small musical organiza- tions under the direction of Wayne Hooper of the music faculty. The announcing and continuity for the program will be arranged by the college speech department. Listen to "Morning Moods," 1240 on your dial, next Sunday and every Sun- day. Next CLOCK TOWER February 5 Elder Buckwalter to Leave Elder J. A. Buckwalter, pastor of the College View Church for the past three years, will be leaving sometime in February to work with the American Temperance Society in Washington, D.C. His official position will be that of associate secretary of the Amer- ican Temperance Society. He will be editor of the temperance maga- zine and will make speaking tours of the country visiting colleges and churches of all denominations. Elder Buckwalter will soon cele- brate his twentieth anniversary in the ministry. He stated that he hesitates to leave College View, but feels that God is calling him to his new position. "No community realizes how much a pastor loves his congregation," he said. During the early war years he served as secretary in the depart- ment of Public Relations for the Canadian Union Conference. His work there concerned the Religious Liberty, War Service Commission, and Temperance divisions. Elder Buckwalter will attend a meeting on the west coast January 26-29 where the details of his new duties will be decided upon. Heading the American Temper- ance Society is Elder Scharffen- berg, with whom Elder Buckwal- ter will be working. The students of Union College have been in- spired by Elder Buckwalter's min- istry and wish him and his family God's richest blessing as they take up their new duties. MARCH OF DIMES JANUARY 15-31 Loma Linda Nurses Include Two Unionites The Loma Linda School of Nurs- ing reports a very impressive cere- mony held in the Hill Church the evening of December 21. There were thirty-nine students who took the Florence Nightingale Pledge and were officially accepted into the Loma Linda School of Nursing; among them were two who took their pre-nursing work at Union College, and they are as follows: Edna Johnson and Jane Sorenson. Elder J. H. Hancock, Missionary Volunteer Secretary of the South- eastern California Conference, gave a very effective talk of dedication to a profession of service and op- portunity. Amateur Hour February 7 The date of the annual amateur hour has been changed to Febru- ary 7. This change was necessary because of the fact that the Chi- cago Little Philharmonic Orches- tra, originally scheduled for Feb- ruary 28, will now appear in con- cert January 17, the former Ama- teur Hour date. Students Elect New Leaders The Union College student elec- tion of December 17 and 18, '47, resulted in the following students being chosen to fill the Sabbath School and Mission Band offices for the coming semester. For Sab- bath School: superintendent, Har- old Cherne; associate superintend- ent, Jean Bartling; secretary, Lou- esa Peters; associate secretary, Gor- don Engen; pianist, Delphine Wat- son; chorister, Warren Zork. For Mission Band: leader, Bob Mc- Corkle; assistant leader, Florence Oss; secretary, Betty Pingenot; pi- anist, Perle Lockert; chorister, Frank Hale. Emil Liers Shows Pictures and Oilers Emil Liers and His Otters was presented as the fourth lyceum program of the series in the college auditorium on Saturday night, Jan- uary 10. Mr. Liers, whose home is at Wi- nona, Minnesota, lectured with motion pictures taken of his otters. In his lecture, Mr. Liers stressed very strongly the need for educat- ing the American people as to the danger of carelessly destroying the wild life of the country. Most of his moving pictures were taken around the streams and lakes of Minnesota and Wisconsin with a few underwater pictures taken in the waters of Florida. The otter, said Mr. Liers, is very friendly and playful. He demonstrated this by allowing one of his otters to kiss him. He also proved the otters' strict obedience. FIe blew his whistle and the otters ran from the rear of the auditorium up onto the stage. Mr. Liers placed them in a glass tank of water where the audi- ence could see them swim around. After the lecture, the audience was allowed to come forward to get a closer view of the otters. Ministerial Wives Organize "May it never be said, 'He failed because of his wife!' " With this as their aim, forty-two of the wives of Union College ministerial students met on January 5 to form an or- ganization that will help them to fulfill it. Elder Wearner presided for the purpose of organizing. In a short talk, he pointed out some of the duties and merits of being a minister's wife. The officers chosen for the se- mester are: president, Mrs. Jewell Seely; vice-president, Mrs. Tate Zytkoskee; secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Carl Watts; and sponsor, Mrs. Leslie Hardinge. Mrs. Hardinge explained some of the things that will be done at future meetings, which will be held every Monday evening at 7:45. A name for the organization will be considered at the next meeting. President R. W. Woods is return- ing this week end from Cincinnati, Ohio, where he has been in attend- ance at a convention of the Ameri- can Association of Colleges. The sessions were held from January 12-14. A conclave of Seventh-day Ad- ventist educators and General Con- ference officers will he held in Lin- coln January 20-22 for the purpose of studying college problems. In attendance at this meeting, which will be held in the Lincoln Hotel, will be the union conference presi- dents, college presidents, available officers of the General Conference, representatives of the College of Medical Evangelists, representa- tives of the General Conference Educational Department, and one representative from each college in addition to the president. The union conference presidents will convene in a separate meeting on January 19 with the members of the Radio Commission of North America. Paul Wickman, secretary of the commission, will be in charge. Elder J. R. Ferren Will Report Elder J. R. Ferren, secretary of the denomination's bureau of press relations, will attend the meetings in order to make daily press re- leases to newspapers concerning the important sessions. Elder Fer- ren's visit will be of special interest to many on the campus, since he will also conduct a series of stud- ies on newspaper reporting de- signed especially for ministerial students and English majors and minors. Definite announcement of the time and place of these stu- dent meetings will be made soon. 13 CoPeccs to Be Represented Thirteen S.D.A. colleges in the North American Division will be represented. The tentative list of college presidents who will be present includes W. H. Shephard, Washington. Missionary College, Washington, D.C.; G. E. Jones.

Elder Campbell Speaks Elder M. V. Campbell, president of the Central Union Conference, was guest speaker at the church services Sabbath, December 20. His topic was "The prophecy of our Lord while on earth." He based this on the theme of Matthew 24, which covers the period from Christ's day until the end when He shall come the second time. The signs of His coming have been fulfilled thus far just as was prophesied nearly 2000 years ago. He said that our next sign could very well be Christ's coming in the clouds of heaven.

Editor-in-chief � arm-- Member ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATE PRESS 2 � CLOCK TOWER, JANUARY 15, 1948 A PROJECT FOR 1948 Frequently we have viewed the incomplete roster of Union's foreign missionaries on the memorial plaque in the Ad building chapel and wished something were done about it. Union, the college of the Golden Cords, should keep .this tribute to former students up to date. We think the effect on the students as they view the list now nearly five years in arrears is bad enough, but visitors must be shocked at the words, "up to date May, 1943." Surely the class of 1920, which presented this fine gift, would concur with our view. ABILITY vs. RESPONSIBILITY Someone made a statement to me recently that made me do some thinking. It went something like this: It is not hard to find people with ability, but it is very difficult to find people who will accept responsi- bility. The more I pondered that statement the more I realized its truth- fulness. I don't have to go very far to find a good example of this, either. I see the evidence of this fact every issue of the CLOCK TOWER. Articles are assigned with a definite date marked when they are due. They don't all come in when due and so have to be gathered in by an editor. This takes a lot of time and hinders the making up of the next issue. That is just one example that is very near to me. You, no doubt, can think of many more. Think of yourself—do you accept your responsibility? E.G.B. POetkallit Spea44:01.9. 9'11 Test I know not where my pathway leads I only know that all my needs Are known in heav'n by my dear God Who made this being from 'neath the sod. He breathed the breath of life in me And now, although I do not see The path He's made for me to tread, I'll trust in Him for He has said, "Trust me—have faith and I will lead Your steps, supplying every need." And so in Him I put my trust 'Cause He has formed me from the dust. He'll put me where He finds a task.— I know. I only need to ask. It's hard to trust in Him at times, But then He rings my poor heart's chimes And fills my soul with music sweet 'Till I fall prostrate at His feet And beg for guidance every day Along life's rough and narrow way; Then all my cares grow small and dim Because, again, I trust in Him. I know He'll help me o'er steep hill Along the darkest path until I see the brightness of Christ's' light Shining through this darkest night It's then I'll cross to heaven's side And with my Lord fore'er abide. —BRUCE BROWNFIELD People9 Meet It's queer about the people One meets along life's way; The memories of some stay by, While others flee away. I wonder as I see these folks Just what their thoughts may be, And what's behind the look they wear As they smile or frown of me.

COLLEGE VIEWPOINT The day of reckoning is upon ye, my hearties. Examinations! Does the ominous sound of that single word strike a feeling of chill terror in your bones? Are you frantically searching for the oil so that you may have something to burn at midnight? Term papers, outside reading, notebooks, case studies, ad infinitum. Do they all haunt you when, weary from much ado about back work, you seek repose? But whether or no we get all else done, the examinations still loom large before us. So now, we, the students speak, while we still have hope, but after—the voice of the pedagogue will be heard in the land and listened to with mixed emotions. � • When asked, "Do you feel that final examinations are a fair test of a student's ability?" the answers were not so many and varied. Here— read for yourself. appeal to me as a fair solution." After careful consideration Dick Pitsch had this to say: "Examinations help the instructor to know whether or not he is making his subject clear to the student. Incidentally, they also show whether or not the student is preparing his lessons, thus acting as a stimulant to the student. It stu- dents knew that there were to be no examinations they just might be inclined to postpone their studying until a later hour which somehow would never come. It would take more will power than the majority of the students have to study if there were nothing to push them. They would no doubt accomplish nothing in school and look at all the time that would be wasted." Whew! Exams must be a relief to Dick! An emphatic "No" comes from Frances Chamberlain, and she's a senior, too. She says, "I don't think that any one test can measure a stu- dent's ability. I feel it would be wise to give frequent tests during the course. Then if it were absolutely necessary a final examination could be given, too, but the teacher should not count much more for it than for any one of the other tests." Wendell Carpenter said, "I don't think final exams are a good method of testing a student's knowledge. The student may retain the general idea of his complete subject, but the general idea is not usually too suc- cessful on a final exam, and on reading his paper the instructor would think that he really knew very little. The student learns his subject best when he meets it in actual practice after college. I would prefer thorough examinations on short sections of material and then eliminate the final examination." Mabel Hunter feels that "Final exams definitely do not give students a fair chance. By this I mean that many students become so nervous when taking their exams that their minds actually go blank. Other stu- dents cram for hours and pass their tests nearly perfectly, but this is not a fair way to judge their ability, for a week later, how much do they know?" A thoughtful answer comes from Russell Strom, who says, "Final exams as a means of testing either knowledge or the ability to think are valueless. They do, however, test rote learning and the ability to "cram." Probably exams are a necessary evil until American students place a higher premium upon knowledge than they do upon grades and degrees." A champion of the exami- nation was found in Ernie Wahlen. "A partial test," Er- nie said, "not counting too heavily on the final grade is a good thing. I realize that some students get rattled and find it difficult to think when faced with these all-inclusive final exams but, personally, I'm very well satisfied with examinations the way they are. I enjoy taking them and find I usually do better on a large exam than on quizzes." * Mr. and Mrs. Fiarlyn Abel left for Glen Ellyn, Illinois, and South Bend, Indiana, by car on Tuesday, December 23. Mr. Abel sang the bass role in the "Messiah" in Chi- cago December 28. From there he went to Boston where he attended Oh, it's nice to meet some people, And it's great to stop awhile Just to pause and silently thank the one Who sent me on with a smile. And at eve as my mind recalls events That have happened throughout the day, I treasure the smiles I have chanced to meet As I journeyed along the way. For a smile is such a lovely thing— And it's wonderful to see That the folks who receive a smile of mine Send a smile right bock to me. —Marilyn Brown 602 end 'Twos the night before exams, And oll through the dorms— One was given the impression That all were book worms. The creotures studied 'Way into the night. In hopes, on certain subjects, They might gain some light. Next morning at eight The tests were begun, By twelve twenty-five Everyone was done. Next day about ten, When the tests were returned Nearly everyone wished Theirs had been burned! —Bonny Berry Shirley Boyer speaks for the negative. "It is much bet- ter, I think, to have weekly quizzes, for then a person is more likely to uu daily study- ing instead of waiting until nearly the last minute to do some heavy cramming. If a person learns what he should each week it would undoubt- edly help him as he studied on through the book. Weekly quizzes, covering one or twn chapters which the studeri won't be quizzed on again, Would that we could all say the same. Ruth Pitsch echoes some of Ernie's sentiments, although she does not quite as fully appreciate the final exam as Ernie does. "Students are so often ill at ease and tense when they write an important examination," Ruth explained, "that I think it would be more fair to have frequent examinations throughout the semester. These tests could be bi-weekly or perhaps even weekly. The student would become test-conditioned and Fhonld not become easily blocked." Bill Weist expressed his opinion in these words: "It seems that final examinations in any school are given more to test the student's capabili- ties in comp.•rison with his fellow students rather than as a test of his own knowledge. And yet there is a definite advantage to the student in pre,-,aring for and taking final examinations, since it is a well-known fact that by reviewing any subject matter it is remembered for a longer period of time." Whether you agree or not, here's wishing you all the luck in the world for the coming exams, fellows and girls. the National Music Convention of which he is a member.

CLOCK TOWER, JANUARY 15, 1948 � 3 "How long until the next vaca- tion?" That's the question everyone is asking now that the holidays are over and we have straggled in from the four corners of the nation.

Nice Open Ala4fr2io29. Alasiot9d By ED BURNETT When Bob awoke in the morn- ing, the day after vacation, he seemed to be in a new world. It took time to orient himself. There beside his bed was the still- unpacked suitcase. On his chair hung the wearily discarded clothes. It was painful to get up. It took a long time to bathe, a long time to look at that tired face re- flected in the mirror, the face with the bloodshot eyes framed with pillow-matted hair. The worship bell rang. "What a life," Bob mut- tered as he pulled on his trousers. "Just think—a week ago at this time I was still tucked in bed without a worry in the world—no worship before sunrise, no classes or studying—what a vacation!" Two weeks had gone by and va- cation was over. And now the great oaken doors swung open and, "—as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings—," mother Union called her children. From afar the call was heard and soon they came—by car, bus, train and airplane—from California, Maine and Texas. Back to empty halls and classrooms came Bob and his fellow students. Books opened and pens were set to paper—there was work to do for semester examinations loomed near, very near. On the day after vacation, the faces of Union's children looked tired and travel-weary except for a new experience—a happy experi- ence that made each hello ring with warmth. And although a "new look" could be seen here, a new hairdo or sweater there, through the added touches could be seen the same old friend and fellow stu- dent. Each was thankful that God had, with His hand, stayed the dangers and fates that lurk along the ways of travel. 44.,•,401.0.1=11.41••1.041M.Plif,•141.041.1,441.1.1.1 Hornung Hardware QUALITY MERCHANDISE Across from the campus ,11.....M•1140.1M.04•1•1•04=.1.1.•11.04•00.1•M.1.1“,•..,41 ,,... 0:4 Calvert St. Pharmacy PRESCRIPTION SPECIALISTS DESSERT OF THE MONTH Try the VANILLA FUDGE ICE CREAM TARTS 15c eoch or box of 4 for 57c 8: a.m. to 8 p.m. Doily and Sunday House. . . .

Cross at the last COLPOR- TEUR CLUB meeting of 1947, "will receive new names, with the object of making the titles more appealing and interest-arousing." Stressing the need of a better en- lightenment on religious liberty in this country, he stated that free subscription magazines, such as the magazine Liberty were in dan- ger of prohibitive legislation. Hence, Liberty will be boosted as a subscription magazine by the col- porteurs in the future. Officers of the club chosen for the year were: Joe Hunt, president; Orlin M c L ea n, vice-president; Gladys Moll and Sylvia Ford, pi- anists; Paul Shakespeare and Bob Wiedemann, choristers; and Mark Dickinson, publicity manager. * The INTERNATIONAL RELA- TIONS CLUB conducted a discus- sion of the question, "What should be our relationship to the political situation in Europe?" in chapel, Sunday, December 21. This discus- sion involved the problem of com- munism and was participated in by Dr. H. G. Reinmuth, Mr. H. K. Nelson, Mr. G. L. Straight, Dr. E. N. Dick, and Mr. W. H. Beaven as moderator. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••4 MARCH OF DIMES JANUARY 15-31 •••••••••••••••••••••••••• c_PE11012c2fitiEl Bonnie Barker—Appears entirely without complex. She operates as evenly as the most faultless mech- anism. Strange as it may seem, she enjoys tobogganing and she comes from southern Colorado. Nothing ornate, her very presence spells "jolly good fellow." Pecan pie arouses her appetite. Her only ap- parent headache is trying to trace down her roommate, Evelyn West, for the monitor. Sam Elie — That funny little chuckle is contagious. Delights in "borrowing" candy bars from un- suspecting maidens. His disposi- tion can be analyzed from the deep laughing lines around his black eyes—a sport enthusiast and very unpredictable — comes from near Detroit, Michigan. Joan England—Carries an atmos- phere of western living. One can almost hear her say, "Hi Ya Pard- ner." Easiness, a smile—formerly rode for rodeos as a trick rider, owns her own horse—has no time for gossip—loves devil's food cake. Raymond Belton — Always an ideal, seems even happier with his bride of last July, the former Vir- ginia Carter. His blondness fits his placid personality.Throws back his head and laughs deep—sings beau- tifully—likes to putter around with woodwork—most of all he loves Virginia and her lemon pie. Delphine Watson — A junior— smiles like a little elfin creature— droll sense of humor—typical of a school teacher—she taught with Grace Duffield at Denver, Colo- rado. She has understanding eyes. The kind that has it done before the rest are "organized." Loves to ski and scrape frosting off rolls— and the way she can cook!

The next is patience to overcome the impulse to utter uncouth and revil- ing verbalisms once the "flat" is discovered. After you have gal- lantly restrained yourself, you waltz merrily along the two or three miles (if you are especially blessed with good fortune) to the nearest service station. There you will proceed to impress the keeper, who is probably deaf, that you are honest enough to be trusted with his spare jack. To overcome the monotony of the long "tramp" back to where you thought you left your car you might try the newly acquired de- vice to see if it works. If on your way back you come to a dead end road, you may be reasonably sure of one of two things. Either you have walked past your car in the dark or you have turned at the wrong road. Probably the latter, in which case you may want to cut across a near-by field. When, in traversing the rough terrain of the field you come across a creek that you didn't know was there, don't lose patience and walk around. It may be several miles to its source. Feel around on the bank until you find a chimp of nettles. Therein will probably be a log on which you can ford the creek. If, after you drag the log out and "flop" it into the creek, it shoots quickly away, you may conclude that the river is too wide and too deep to be crossed without serious complicatiobs. Don't be embar- rassed at this point, however, if the moon breaks through the clouds and reveals the river to be a duck pond or a hog wallow. When you finally return safely to your car and read the note say- ing that your girl friend has gone home with a passing friend, hold your temper. You still have a "flat" to fix. By this time it should be raining; that is, after you have dis- covered that the jack is too high to go under your car. You will smile at your forethought to put your rubbers in the trunk and quickly begin your fumbling search for them, during the course of which you will probably knock your own jack out onto your sore foot. With yonr own trusty tool you will proceed to change the tire, a process requiring a maximum of five minutes. Then you will put on your tire chains. You may have to lie in the mud for this, but you will do anything ( almost) for a change of scenery. At long last you are ready to go. You ease into the suit coat that you have carefully placed over the new seat covers to protect them from the mud. start the motor, and slip quietly off into the ditch.

JANUARY 15, 1948 IS TUE SUCTILIG11-11-... Vacation at Union By ALTHA REGESTER Especially to those of you who might have felt a bit sorry for us who remained on the campus dur- ing Christmas vacation, we just want to say, "Your sympathy was appreciated but entirely wasted," for we had a good time. Well, at least a change! Christmas eve the girls and fel- lows gathered in the North Hall parlor for a short program. At 8:30 p.m. all left in a group, spending the rest of the evening caroling at each faculty member's home. Candy and cookies were passed so often it caused us to drop a little behind schedule. We arrived at Dr. Woods' home for popcorn shortly after ten. For those of us who like to roller skate, we were given this oppor- tunity almost every other evening. This proved even more interesting than'usual, as a few beginners were encouraged to try. Once persuaded to make the attempt, Nina Engman did famously. Of course there were evenings for basketball, volleyball, and par- lor games. Mrs. Sorenson's usual hospitality was appreciated by many attending Union from out of the States, as they spent the eve- ning playing games in her home. I think one of the outstanding events was the good old-fashioned taffy pull we had around the cook stove over in Miss Whitfield's do- main. We did have lots of fun. Ask Bob McCorkle. Anyone would know studies were the farthest from his thoughts. Can you imagine an entertain- ment starting at 10:00 p.m.? That is, here on the campus? Well, our New Year's Eve party did. It was formal and held in the gym. The evening entertainment was di- rected by Miss Rees, and brought to a close with the traditional Grand March at midnight. Bob McCorkle • and Herluf Jen- sen thought they would add some variety to their program so they purchased a sleigh after our won- derful snowfall. But can you im- agine, by the time the party was planned and permission obtained, well, there just wasn't any snow left on the roads. Up until the last two or three days we almost thought we would be untruthful as we greeted even our best friend by saying, "We're so glad to see you back," but after fourteen full days we decided we were ready for another change and we were really glad to see you ag - in. .: 4rnEk”..M11.1=P414..0.10.1M1.0.=•01=10410i 6:0.11.0.1•••0. 11.11.114•.4,4111..001M.041=1.0.1 .1.4.4•111M11.04M101.1.114=1..34M.0•04=1.0.1•••,11trit..1.4rof CAMPUS Everyone seems to have had a grand and glorious time during vacation, and the ways this was accomplished are as varied as they are interesting! By prying into other people's business let's take a hasty glance at just a few vacation activi- ties: Cleo Speh went hunting in an air- plane. . . . Wendell Carpenter ate and ate and ate until he gained four pounds in weight, but he may have lost it again during the fifty-three hours he spent traveling back to Union from his home in Hopwood, Pennsylvania. . . . Wayne Nel- son helped his brother-in-law, who lives in Denver, build his house. . . Russel Anderson went fox hunting in South Da- kota. . . . Betty Lou Williams did nearly forty lessons for her Teachings of Jesus notebook. . . . Shirley Burton worked in the printshop at Union, but alas, the after-Christmas sales proved to be too strong a temptation and she spent all that she earned. . . . Merritt Schumann spent his vacation at his wife's home; now he plans to go on a diet. . . . Mabel Hunter stayed up until four o'clock one morning playing, of all things, anagrams! � Mr Fowler made out his semester tests, out- lined his second-semester classes, and got all his papers graded. . . . Joyce Butherus partook heartily of her mother's good cooking. . . . Dick Pitch leisurely spent long mornings in bed and long evenings doing anything but studying. . . Doreen Cadwallader basked in the eighty-five de- gree weather of California and visited former Unionites at Loma Linda. . . . Mrs. Jay Lantry reveled in the freedom provided by her mother of making up no menus nor cooking any food. . . . Ron- ald Cotham studied, but he admits it did him no good at all. � . Milton Frederick- sen and his wife, Carol, went ice skating, skiing, and tobogganing in Minnesota. . . . Janet Campbell discovered that the "Hoo- siers" of Indiana wear shoes even when they're home. . . . Hartley Berlin attend- ed the wedding of Walter \Vebb and Lorraine Stickney. . . . Betty Lou Soren- sen secured a good suntan in the Rio Grande Valley. . . . Myrna Wiltse did her semester's outside reading for history class � Miss Alpha Regester took an examination on Januarys 1 which over- lapped into the noon hour and conse- quently had to eat her New Year's din- ner out in the kitchen. . . . Bill Putnam went boating in Oklahoma. . . . Herbert Alexander caught up on his sleep. . . . Kenny Holland went home to Minneap- olis and became engaged to Maurine Strom. . . . Bonnie Hunt spent extra time in cooking holiday meals for her hus- band. . . . and so, even though vacation is now in the past, it remains with us in pleasant memories. A son, Tad Peters, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Newman Foley on December 17. Mrs. Foley will probably be more readily recognized by her maiden name, Rill Peterson. Monday, December 29, Mr. and Mrs. Alton Hughes and Mr. and Mrs. Ross Hughes, with baby daughter Sherry, stopped overnight in College View with relatives. They were enroute to Atlanta, Georgia, where Ross Hughes is a senior in dental college.

However, the explanation for such seemingly un- kindness came Sunday evening, January 4, when Zena walked into the house and found a group of friends gathered for a surprise birthday party. A lively session of games ensued, climaxed with refresh- ments of cake and ice cream. Those pres- ent were Audrey Kleiman, Joan Perkins, Bernita Ortner, Prudence Ortner, Herluf Jensen, David Lindquist, Johnny Bog- danovich, Larry Bogdanovich, Frank Shaffer, Ed Ortner, and Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Ortner. Dr. arid Mrs. George Falbisaner vis- ited friends at Union the week end of December 20. Dr. Falbisaner, whp is affiliated with Ancker Hospital, St. Paul, Minnesota, has six months of his intern- ship yet to serve. Mrs. Falbisaner is the former Betty Bruntzel. Dr. Falbisaner was graduated from the College of Medi- cal Evangelists last summer. Ten years ago in old Hong Kong, Ar- lene Hughes, Rose Chin, and Edith Tan were schoolmates. Little did they realize that they someday would again meet at Union College, but such are the surprises of life! Arlene spent the week end of December 27 in College View visiting friends and relatives. At present her home is in Des Moines, Iowa, where she works as secretary to Mr. Anderson, the Book and Bible House secretary-treasurer. Cupid really worked overtime during Christmas vacation as is evidence by many new wrist watches and dreamy looks in some of the fellows' eyes. At last count there were 15 newly engaged couples! Mr. and Mrs. Howard Marks are the proud parents of a six pound twelve ounce baby daughter, Monica Vernee. She was born Wednesday morning, De- cember 31, at 6:38. Mrs. Marks is the former Joyce Lyon. KAPPA THETA If you've never noticed, you ought to look at Ruth Weddle's hair—that is, the way it is combed on top. Someone re- marked to her the other day, "It's worse than a cross-word puzzle." Down, Down, Down—no, not grades; it's the skirts! Many a girl came back from vacation sporting that "new look." Wednesday, January 7, Kappa Theta was privileged to have Dr. Reinmuth as guest speaker. He brought out many in- teresting facts concerning the conditions in post-war Germany. He described the reconversion program being conducted there. ,0:04=1141,M00.1=01.1/.000.111MOINEO0.111•Pd.1•ki.M•r04=•4 SI DAVENPORT BARBER Opposite Nebraska Book and Bible House Prisoners Baptized at Walla Walla College Thirteen converts from Washing- ton State prison were baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist church at Walla Walla on Christmas day. "The amazing story of changed lives (prison records list them as model prisoners) began in 1939 when Dr. Harold Reith, who was the prison dentist, started talking to the men about their salvation." Regular church services are be- ing held every Sabbath afternoon. At present, beginning Bible classes are being held twice a week. An advanced class is held once a week. It is from this group that the thir- teen new converts who will form the nucleus of the prison church came. (Ed. Note: The story above was taken from a Portland, Oregon, newspaper.

The program was presented in the col- lege auditorium by the music and speech departments. Christmas carols were presented by Choir I, Choir II, the ladies' glee club, and the orchestra, under the direction of Wayne Hooper, Harlyn Abel, Herbert Hohensee, and Raymond Casey, respectively. Christmas readings were given by W. H. Beaven, Mrs. Josephine Griffin B e n t o n, and Mrs. Jay Lantry. The auditorium was filled, and the congregation seemed to enjoy singing the old favorite carols as the orchestra played them. The combined choirs, glee club and congregation joined in the last song as the orchestra played "0 Come All Ye Faithful." IC.M10.01•001,ink.Oill.i0•Mb04•11r0411M1r4=0....
