OUTLOOK GOOD Professor Andreasen Sets Goal for Faculty and Students for the New Year President Emphasizes Need of Spiritual Preparation to Meet Present and Future Crises Ushering in the spirit of the New Year, 1932, and stressing predictions for the coming year, President Andreasen in his chapel talk Friday declared, - Un- ion will enjoy a bigger and better school in this new year 1932." "We arc interested in the second se- mester," he continued. "Although there have been rumors about the future of Un- ion, we must push onward and show that we have a mission. This will de- pend upon the spirit of the school." President Andreasen suggested some resolutions that a student might adopt: (1) cut no classes; (2) be good in all respects; (3) come to meetings and study Sabbath School lesson daily; (4) pay the tithe; (5) budget time so that it will not be spent in worthless effort; (6) observe school regulations, be more kind, sympathetic, and respectful. In conclusion President Andreasen spoke of the crisis we are facing today. He said, - We must prepare ourselves so we may be ready. We should, in the new year, start reading the Bible through, determined to be more faithful in prayer, devotion, and meditation. - He added, "This is another year, but one of these years will be the last. Men in- formed on affairs predict a great calami- ty in the near future. This may call upon all the strength we have. We must look upon the year with sober-mindedness, pre- paring for the coming of the Lord. - Students Have Hike to Antelope During Vacation At 6:10 Sunday evening were found sixty young men and women warmly clad, waiting for the whistle to blow to begin the progressive hike to Antelope park. The chairman of the week's program committee, Mr. Carl Specht, was the leader. Each time he blew the whistle there was a change of partners. Our faithful eats committee was not disappointed in having to bring anything home. The invigorating air, long walk, as well as the games, were conducive to keen appetites. Candy Pull During Vacation The students who remained at Union during vacation spent Saturday evening, Dec. 26, playing games and pulling taffy. After games and a march in the gymnas- ium, all went to the kitchen where large platters of taffy were waiting. Judging from the laughter, everyone had a good time though some certainly did become quite "stuck up." The evening's fun end- ed with a lively volley-ball game and a march in the gymnasium. Union Worth Every Effort; Plan Now for Second Semester BY WILLIAM BARCLAY In 1928 I first heard about Union Col- lege, and it was suggested to me that I attend. I laughed at the idea, thinking that I had no need for further educa- tion; I had a trade that would assure me of a good living. At the time, I was interested in re- ligion and the third angel's message, but I was not an Adventist. A year later I accepted and was baptized into the truth. Three months later it was again sug- gested that I should attend Union, and again I objected, for the same reasons as before. The thought of going to Union would not leave me, however; I began to feel that my Christian experience would amount to nothing if I could not get a Christian education. I was afraid to start going to school again; why, I don't know. I decided to make it a matter of prayer and if the Lord wanted me to 'go to college He would let me know. My pray- ers were answered in a very definite manner. To me, though, it seemed as if it would be a waste of time to attend college un- less I had something definite in mind; unless I was preparing my self for actual service in God's cause. I continued to pray, and again my prayers were defin- itely answered. CALENDAR Friday, January 8 Sunset 5:16 p. m. Church Choir Rehearsal 7:30 p. m. Vespers 8:00 p. in.

HOUSE EXPLAINS VISIBLE CHURGH God's Impartiality To Be Shown in Judging Each According to Light Received ADVENTISM TRACED S. D. A. Constitute God's Advanced Guard to Prepare People for Second Coming of Christ "God has an invisible church," said Pastor B. L. House in the eleven o'clock church service, "consisting of those hon- est hearted people throughout the world who are living up to all the light they have. - He used as a basis of his ser- mon Acts 10:34, "Of a truth I perceive that God is no respector of persons." "God will show His impartiality," he con- tinued, "by judging everyone according to the light he has received. "God also has a visible church." He then gave the history of the visible church beginning with the time of Noah, when it consisted of those saved in the ark, taking it through the time of Abraham, and tracing the history of Israel through the wilderness, captivities, and up to the time of the rejection of Christ. Then he took up the visible church as consisting of the apostles and believers at that time and traced it through the dark ages to the reformation, out of which time, he said, grew four developments. "The first,'" he said, "was the translation of the Bible, unlocking to the people of the world the Bible in their own language. Second was the organization of Bible societies, the first of which was the British and Foreign Bible Society organized in 1804. The third was the beginning of foreign mis- sion movements, which have grown until today there are 25,000 missionaries la- boring in the foreign fields. The fourth was the great advent movement, consist- ing of two parts, the general advent movement from 1798 to 1844, and the second advent movement from 1844 until the present time. The Adventists were of various denominations at first, but withdrew from the churches, and out of that sprang the Seventh-day Adventist movement, constituting God's visible ad- vance guard to prepare the people for the coming of Christ. God has provided many agencies to assist in this work, such as the railways, the steamboats, wireless, radio, and many others. - In closing, Pastor House gave a few comparisons of the church today and the church in 1894. - Then, - he said, - three years after the founding of Union College, the first missionary was sent to a foreign field. There are more young people in our schools today than there were in the entire denomination in 1894." Heavy Snowfall and Drifts Block Lincoln Traffic Over six inches of snow fell in Lin- coln Thursday. A brisk wind blew the snow which piled up in drifts four and a half feet high. The Lincoln Street de- partment hired between fifty and seventy- five of the unemployed to clean the snow from the streets of the downtown dis- trict. Street car communication was blocked by five o'clock in the afternoon. Three street cars were stuck on Calvert Street hill in College View. A bus and a rotary snow sweeper were needed to restore communication. Dozens of auto- mobiles were stuck on Sheridan Blvd., where wide drifts had covered the street. Butterflies, Flora of Animal Kingdom By MICHIEL HOLM The butterflies and moths are by far the most beautiful of the insects. They are veritably the flora of the animal king- dom. There are about 15,000 different species of butterflies, of which America has about 1200 and Nebraska 85. The Indo- Australican fauna has by far the largest number of species. South and Central America follow, while Europe with Its 500 species is at the bottom of the list. They can be found as far north as Spit- zenberg and at altitudes of 1800 feet on the Andes Mountains. The largest butterfly now known is the giant Ornithoptena Victoria Regis, so named after Queen Victoria of Eng- land. Specimens have been taken which measured over eleven inches from tip to tip. This is quite a contrast when com- pared with some of the tiny Lycxnidx which measure barely three-fourths of an Inch across the tips of their delicate wings. There are butterflies of practically ev- ery hue and color combination one might imagine, some modernistic ones even! The (Continued on page two) U COLLEGE LIBRARY EX VoL. VI COLLEGE VIEW, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, JANUARY 7, 1932 No. 15 Weekly Review of World Affairs BY HAROLD LINCOLN The $252,000,000 Hoover war debt and reparations moratorium is formally in effect with the consent and ratification of Congress. The estimated total of unemployed is 7,500,000, and 6,000,000 men are working one to three days a week in the United States. In Germany there are 5,000,000 unemployed. F. H. Ecker, president of the Metro- politan Life, the world's largest life in- surance company, painted a startling word picture of economic conditions be- fore the senate banking and currency committee Dec. 22. He said that economic conditions are worse now than last June and the crisis ''when the patient either dies or gets well" is approaching. President Hoover will stand to the end behind the gold standard. No credence is given to reports circulating in many foreign countries that the United States is about to follow England and Japan and desert gold as the foundation of its currency. They are classed as foreign propaganda. The tentative date of Jan. 18 for an international conference on war debts and reparations at The Hague is agreeable to France and Britain. Two clearly de- fined solutions of the reparations problem were revealed: first, that a reduction of charges to Germany will depend entirely on the attitude of the United States con- gress; secondly, that without a propor- tionate reduction of debts, Germany will be accorded only the exceptional relief afforded in the Young plan. It has been decided that the United States will not take part if it is invited. I bought a ticket east. It was 5 o'clock on a dismal, rainy morning when I got off the bus at Lincoln. I got right back on the bus and kept going east. I decided to spend a few days with some relatives and then go on to Michigan. When the time came to leave my rela- tives I went to town, and for some un- known reason I bought a ticket back to Lincoln. Next morning I was on the campus at Union, looking at the word "Welcome" carved over the door. Every- thing was new and strange to me and I did not know a soul. I wanted to turn round and leave, but somehow I couldn't. I went through the new and patience- testing task of enrolling, and for the first week or two I was ready to pack up and go back to sunny California. Then I began to get acquainted; first with the students, then with the social and religious activities, and soon Union meant more to me than any place I had known. Why? Because it became home; because I was mingling with people of my own age whose ideals were higher than the average man on the outside; and because I had a wonderful opportunity to pre- pare myself for the Lord's work. The Sunshine bands, The Gospel Workers' seminar, the Sabbath school, the mis- sion bands, the prayer bands, all held an especial interest for me. Union was established for the purpose of preparing people for the Lord's work, and I found that it was living up to its purpose. And I found that its standards were helpinp me live up to my purpose. Union helps to develop character, am- bition, tenacity. It's honor roll for those who have gone out to serve is large, and is represented in every mission field. There is a place for you at Union. Here you can find the things you are looking for, the things every Christian needs: a Christian education, Christian friends and associations, and the moral backbone to stand for right principle when you go out into the world. I travelled over two thousands miles and back this summer to find the means The fatalities in automobile accidents in the U. S. in 1931 are approximately 24,000, an increase of 2.5 per cent over 1930. Mary Emma Woolley, president of Mt. Holyoke college, was named as a delegate to represent the U. S. at the Geneva arms conference. Never before has any woman served as a delegate to such an import- ant international conference. Other mem- bers of the American delegation arc Am- bassador Charles G. Dawes, Senator Claude A. Swanson of Virginia, and Am- bassador Hugh Gibson. Paul Bestor, who supervises federal land banks from which farmers have borrowed more than $1,000,000,000, told the senate banking and currency commit- tee that delinquency on these loans has more than doubled in the past year. The increased delinquency on payments was due to the fall in prices on farm products. Japanese troops were forced to take up again an armed march to the southeast of Manchuria, where Chinese irregulars attacked settlements along the Mukden railway. The Japanese informed the lead- ing powers that the campaign in Man- churia must continue as long as "band- itry" threatens peace in that country. The Japanese troops are sweeping every- thing before them, capturing cities, ad- vanced upon Chinchow, last Manchurian stronghold of the Chinese. Heavy fight- ing and bombarding was engaged in toward that city. On Jan. 2, the Japanese entered the city without a shot being fired. The triumphant Japanese completed their conquest of Manchuria by entering the last stronghold of China to the ac- companiment of cheers from the Chinese population. to come to Union. In the face of adverse and almost impossible conditions the Lord provided these means and brought me back. If you have faith in Him He will bring you here. The second semester will soon be here, then you will have a chance to show your faith. Plan now to enroll. Prof. Larimore Answers Some Difficult Questions Professor T. R. Larimore, head of the Union College Commercial department, was the speaker at the Friday chapel hour before Christmas vacation. His talk con- sisted of answers to questions previously submitted by students, interspersed with a number of humorous stories. The nature of the questions varied from the sublime to the ridiculous, and evidently Professor Larimore had to do some culling. Questions on statistics were mingled with those on sentiment and fi- nances, but satisfactory answers were given to all. If it is true that "a merry heart cloth good like a medicine," this chapel exer- cise was a health-giver in addition to be- ing instructive. Printing is the inseparable companion of achievement. HUGHES DEPICTS NEEDS OF CHINA This Ever Changing Country to Receive Part of Thirteenth Sabbath Overflow NEW OFFICERS LEAD Joe Tucker, Superintendent, Solicits Co- operation of Entire School for Successful S. S. The general characteristics of China, to which will go part of the overflow from the Sabbath school offering for the first quarter of 1932, were given in the mis- sion talk by Mr. Alton Hughes, who has spent seven years as a missionary in China. - China, - he said, "has a popula- tion of over 400,000,000 crowded into a territory comparable to the United States with two more states the size of Texas added to it. In China no exact census can be obtained because of the super- stitious beliefs of the people; but in each district the families are counted, and thus a fairly accurate estimate of the popu- lation is obtained. Cze Chwan, the largest province of China, contains approximtely 80,000,000 people compared to the 4,000,- 000 of Texas, which is about the same size. In the most densely populated sec- tions, according to the best information obtained, there are 687 people to the square mile and 67 in the most sparsely settled provinces. Mr. Hughes explained from actual experience that condition and the need of more workers in this con- stantly changing country. As the newly elected officers for the first quarter of 1932 had charge of the Sabbath school, Joe Tucker, superintend- ent, solicited the co-operation of the en- tire school to insure success in the Sab- bath school. Juanita Paxton, secretary, read a report for the past year, and Ruth Wiest read as scripture reading Isaiah 53. As a special musical number Velvah Smouse and Ermina Powell sang a duet. When we think of the word pre-his- toric, we think of some time about 1500 B.C. or earlier. Yet there are evidences that on this western hemisphere there have been quite highly civilized people of which history records little. These peo- ple are known as the Inca nation, in South America. They occupied the terri- tory which is now included in the coun- tries of Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and a part of Chile and the Argentine. All this territory was under one kingdom, which developed a very remarkable and inter- esting civilization. The only sources we have for the his- tory are tradition, and some writings of the first conquerors and priests that came over to Peru upon its conquest by the Spaniards. While these Inca peoples arc classed as Indians today, all traditions say that the first Inca, or king by that name, was a white man, the son of the one God, Creator and Life-giver. Ac- cording to the stories, he found quite a highly developed civilization with its center in the Peruvian city of Cuzco, but he established so many good laws, and organized the state so well, that the kingdom took new life, and at the time of the conquest of this kingdom by the Spaniards, controlled about half of the habitable part of South America. There were three classes of society in this Inca state. The Inca, or king, and all his descendents, were the nobility, and the highest class. Next was the nobility of the conquered tribes. Then the great majority was the common laboring class, which received its land from the state, and who were so bound by the laws of the country that they could never acquire property or change their condition. On the other hand, the ruling class did not oppress them as in other countries where this system has prevailed, but was very kind to them, making their life free from all worry and care. The subject provinces were all loyal supporters of the central GERMAN CLUB HAS CHRISTMAS PARTY Santa, Dr. Pfeiler, Presents Gift of Club to Mr. and Mrs. Hanhardt The members of - Deutscher Verein - met at the home of Professor Hanhardt on the evening of December 21. While the group was singing German folk songs, Santa arrived with candy, apples, cookies, and a small top for each visitor. In accordance with the usual conduct of a German Santa, he questioned Professor Hanhardt concerning the record of each student before presenting the gift. If the report was unfavorable, the unlucky one received several strokes from Santa before receiving his share of the Christ- mas treats. A gift was presented to Pro- fessor and Mrs. Hanhardt by Santa Claus on behalf of the club. Santa re- turned a few minutes later in more mod- ern garb and was recognized as Dr. Pfeiler, of the University of Nebraska German department. M. V. GIVES MUSICAL Program Consists of Vocal, Piano and Violin Selections The meeting of the Missionary Volun- teer Society Friday evening consisted of a musical program consisting of the fol- lowing numbers: Vocal solo "Just For Today" DORIS KIRSTEIN Violin solo "The Swan" WALLACE NETHERY Vocal duet "Speak, My Lord" MR.

ENGEL, CLAYOMA ENGEL MR. GERNET Patronize the Clock Tower advertisers authorities, because of the great advant- ages they receive from them. Only the nobility had the privilege of receiving an education. These people had a highly developed system of farming. They carried water for irrigation in aqueducts and canals of four and five hundred miles in length. One aqueduct is reported by a Spaniard who saw it, to have carried the water four hundred miles. These aqueducts were made of stones, fiat, and fitted to- gether so finely that not a drop of water seeped through the joints. They also understood the system of rotating crops and of fertilizing the land. The popula- tion was so dense that even the barest mountain sides were cultivated by build- ing it up into terraces which can be seen today. Their postal system was one of the most advanced of its time. Roads were built running through all the empire, with houses every two and a half miles. A number of runners lived in these houses, who relayed the messages throughout the whole empire as fast as they could run. Fresh fish was brought 300 miles from the coast in 24 hours, to be served at the king's table. Their system of writing was by word representation on the euipu. This euipu was a short thick horizontal cord, upon which smaller vertical cords of varying colors and lengths and thicknesses were tied. Knots in these smaller cords also added to the meaning. This system kept all their records, even very complicated ones, Their fabulous treasures of gold can- not be enumerated. We may simply list some of those which are known, such as the thrones of solid gold, the golden plows of all the chiefs, the Temple of the Sun, where solid walls were made of plates of gold, the golden garden, where all the plants and animals of the king- dom and even clods of earth were made of pure gold, the golden chair 700 feet long, given by an Inca as a present to his son. Tradition says that the Span- iards obtained only a small part of this treasure, and that the rest remains still to be discovered in its hiding places.

UNEMPLOYMENT AND OPTIMISM The human race is incurably optimistic. We all know, secretly perhaps, that few of these new year resolutions will be kept, but that does not deter us. We ko ahead making them just the same. Psy- chologically speaking, a broken resolve may be a serious matter, but then there is something decidedly invigorating in the spectacle of 'thousands of people bracing themselves to take a new grip on life. For many, this year will be one of unusual difficulty, and any en- couragement that can be gotten from a Christmas dinner or a new year resolution is not to be scoffed at. But hope and resolutions do not fill empty mouths, and the question of unemployment and depres- sion is not too "earthy" a subject for Christian students to think about. There is too much humbug said and written about the blessings of poverty, for after allowing for all the virtues that might spring from want, there is left a long trail of misery and pain. For purposes of academic discussion there may be something romantic about the poverty stricken but ambitious student who lives in a garret, subsists on turnips and water, and studies by candle light. In actual practice the glamor of it all wears off. Distance lends enchantment to the view. It is estimated that 75 per cent of American families live below the budget of health and decency. 0.29 of 1 per cent of the population pay 95 per cent of the income tax. Poverty and economic injustice do not lead to spirituality any mere than do selfish riches, l iut on the other hand are a serious obstacle to the progress of the Christian faith, which, in itself, is the greatest reason for optimism.

I have been spending the vacation with relatives at Watertown, S. D. In spite of the hot days, I have been reading, studying, and swimming occasionally. I will be back to Union this year. —Melvin Oss. A most delightful and pleasant year of teaching is just past and I am in the midst of strenuous teaching in the summer school. I have two good classes this sum- mer, one in Daniel and Revelation and the other in the History of Education. Since my pastorate at College View, I have taught three years at Keene Junior college, and one year at Pacific Union college. I shall attend the Bible and His- tory Teachers' convention at Broadview seminary, near Chicago, and then return to P. U. C. to teach next year. We love to hear from the dear old Unionites through the Messenger. —B. L. House, I am in sunny southern California where it is only 79 degrees in the shade. I am working for Dr. Horrower.

PAGE TWO THE CLOCK TOWER SOCIAL CONDITIONS OF RUSSIA STUDIED Quidnuncs Ready to Answer Questions on Present Day Problems By A QUIDNUNCIAN Do you crave something new and dif- ferent? Are you seeking something to read? Are you wondering about what is go- ing on in the world? Would you like to know the "wheres" and "wherefores" about present day mat- ters? Whatever your problem may be bring it to Quidnunc and see if you don't leave feeling better. Perhaps you do read a lot and wish so much to tell it. But you need coaxing or an incentive. The leader, Miss Hazel Heinzman, will furnish just that. Each Sunday evening at 6 p.m. there is an interesting talk given by some mem- ber. For example, Phylura Nagel spoke January 3 on "Social Conditions of Rus- sia under the Five Year Plan." The results were portrayed as vividly as a laboratory technician would explain a process of chemistry. Under this plan every radical idea and feministic fancy is in the process of realization. But Rus- sian women are not happy. When the proclamation came that they should be put on equality with man, the dropping of cakes, pans, and bread boards was heard. Women began to select vocations and became interested in professions. And what of the homes and the chil- dren? The plan took care of that. Meals could be had for the entire family for the sum of forty rents a day. The chil- dren could be sent to the nurseries. Their education was easily taken care of, as its chief aim was to prepare them for social- ism and to establish the idea of equality for the coming generation. Many are not satisfied with the plan. It takes much out of the home life. In fact it almost banishes home life. The mother is taken out of the home to work or to enter politics. The child's training, moral and religious, as well as his edu- cation, is taken out of the hands of the parents. Divorces are made simple and easy.

It is said that the flashing of the sun on their wings when in flight is visible for a quarter of a mile. The Papiliouidaz are by far the most numerous, thirty-eight species benig known to inhabit the United States. The most magnificent of all butterflies, the Orthoptera, belong to the Papilionidw. They are splendid insects with their gracefully shaped, often tailed, wings, velvety black, marked with green, crim- son, gold, and fiery orange patches, re- splendent with all of the colors of the rainbow. There are thousands of smaller species, just as showy, but too numerous to be mentioned with more than a pass- ing word regarding them. Many butterflies are preyed upon by birds and other natural enemies and would probably have approached ex- tinction by now were it not for the won- derful camouflage they wear. Some spe- cies imitate bark and leaves in color and markings so closely that they can be discovered only by closest examination. The Kallima dead-leaf butterfly of India and our own angel-wings furnish us with admirable illustrations. Many species es- cape their enemies by another ingenious method, mimicry. The Lymnadidw and the Heliconid, for example, inedible be- cause of the bitter juices of their bodies, are mimicked in both color and form by many butterflies that are edible, which thus escape hungry birds who doubtless take them for an inedible variety. Truly, the more we study nature the more we learn to know and appreciate the all wise, yet loving God who created all these marvels for our wonder and en- joyment. WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE AUTHOR?

MI LLER PANE Wedding Bells Leslie-Baer At five o'clock in the afternoon on the day betore Christmas Miss Wilma Leslie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. i'. Leslie, became the bride of Frank L. Baer, son of Pastor and Mrs. R. T. Baer in the College View Seventh-day Adventist Cnurch. Lilah Baer, modern language teacner at Campion Academy, Loveland, Colorado, and sister of the groom, sang "'Because' just preceding the ceremony. The tattier of the groom read the mar- riage lines before one hundred fifty guests while Miss Clayoma Engel played on the violin, accompanied by Miss Ed- da Rees. As Miss Rees sounded the first strains of the wedding march from Lohengrin, Paster Baer entered from the rear of the pulpit and stood before an embankment of terns. 'I he groom entered from the left attended by Conard Rees as best man. Miss Leslie chose as her attendants, her sister, Elderita, as maid of honor, Misses Evelyn Baer, sister of the groom, and Freda Myrtle Fullerton as bridesmaids and little Donna Aggen as flower girl. The ushers, Walter Howe and Don Tindall, lead the bridal procession. The bridesmaids followed wearing floor length pink lace dresses and carrying bouquets of pink roses. 1 he maid of honor wore a blue satin gown of ankle length and carried a bouquet of sun burst roses. The little flower girl wore a yellow frock and scattered rose petals as the bride entered on the arm of her father, who gave her in marriage The bride wore a modishly white satin fashioned creation with long fitted sleeves and a skirt of floor length. She wore a lace cap 'held at either side with orange blos- soms from which fell a long tulle veil. She carried a shower bouquet of delicate pink roses and lilies of the valley. Following the ceremony there was a reception for seventy-five close friends at the home of the bride's parents. Misses Willie Dee Wilson and Fonda Campbell, who were attired in floor length black gowns, served the guests with punch and individual bridal cakes of pink and white. The maid of honor presided in the gift room and at the guest book. After a short motor trip Mr. and Mrs. Baer will be home to their friends at 4532 Calvert Street. Both are former Union College students and Mr. Baer is in business in Lincoln. Wallace-Schmidt In the Orthopedic Hospital Nurses' Home 12:01 o'clock Friday morning Jan- uary 1, 1932, Miss Irene Wallace be- came the bride of Elmer A. Schmidt. Miss Wallace was a former Topeka, Kansas, girl who is now employed as a masseuse at the Orthopedic Hospital. Mrs. Emma E. Wallace, the bride's moth- er, and other relatives and friends were present at the wedding. The bridegroom, formerly of Clinton, Missouri, has resided in Lincoln the past four years and is a former student of Union College. He is now employed by the Kay Dee Manufacturing Co., of Col- lege View. The ceremony was performed by El- der R. T. Baer, pastor of the Seventh-day Adventist church in College View. Gladys Day was the bridesmaid and Glenn Wood was best man. Both are Union College students. Little Jene McReynolds, the six year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. McReynolds, of 631 North 24th St., Lin- coln, served as flower girl and scattered rose petals in the path of the bridal couple. Prior to the ceremony, the bride's sis- ter, Miss Edna Wallace, sang "I Love You Truly," accompanied by Mr. Dick Gibson at the piano. Mendelssohn's wedding march was played by Mr. Gibson, piano, and Miss Irene Schmidt, violin, as the couple took their places at the altar. The bride was attractively attired in a wedding gown of white satin, modishly fashioned with long, tight sleeves and a flare skirt of floor length. She wore a lace-frilled cap held at each side by orange blossoms, from which fell a long tulle veil. She carried a shower bouclet of white roses. The bridesmaid wore a pink satin dress, fashioned with a braided satin belt, a spray of satin roses across the back and a long flare skirt, and carried a bouquet of pink roses. The flower girl was dressed in a dainty pink taffeta dress with tiny puffed sleeves. The parlor in which the ceremony took place was tastefully decorated. At one end of the room on each side of the altar was a candelabrum containing eight white candles which furnished the entire light for the occasion. Behind the altar were two silver tinted trees which glis- tened in the candle light. Palms, ferns, and geraniums furnished the background. Large baskets of pink carnations stood beside the candelabra. Chimes announcing the arrival of the new year, were ringing as the bridal cou- ple were pronounced man and wife. Following the ceremony a reception was held. The Misses Maxwell, Bibs, Radcliff, and McGrew, and Mrs. Gross- ball presided at the refreshment table where punch and wafers, and portions of the wedding cake were served. Emery-Lonergan The marriage of Elsa Evelyn Emery to Dr. Lester Lonergan of Loma Linda, California, was an attractive event of the Christmas holidays. The wedding took place at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. 'T. Emery, 4702 Ban- croft, at eight o'clock, December 23. The bride wore her mother's ivory- crepe wedding gown with a veil, and carried a colonial bouquet of talisman roses and sweet peas. The bridesmaid, Marie Olson, wore pale pink chiffon and also carried a colonial bouquet. Preceding the ceremony, which was performed by Pastor J. J. Nethery, Lilah Mae Baer, of Loveland, Colorado, sang 'Sweet Mystery of Life, - and "Three Little Words," the latter being sung at the wedding of the bride's parents which took place in the same home. After the bridal party took its place to the strains of Lohengrin played by Mr. C. C. Engel, Clayoma Engel, and Ada Lucine Williams, Miss Baer sang "My Heart is a Haven." George Emery, brother of the bride, attended the bride- groom. The bride's father gave her away. Immediately following the ceremony Dr. and Mrs. Lonergan left for Loma Linda, where they will reside. Mrs. Lonergan came here as a child and attended different departments of the college until two years ago when she went to the Glendale sanitarium, where she had her nurse's training. Dr. Loner- gan received his A. B. degree from this college and was graduated last spring from the Loma Linda College of Medical Evangelists, where he is now a member of the medical faculty. Out of town guests were Wilfred Em- ery, Loma Linda, California; Dr. and Mrs. L. C. Northrup and Bobby, and Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Northrup, all of Tulsa, Oklahoma; Kenneth Rosenthal, Austin, Minnesota; Lilah Mae Bear, Loveland, Colorado; and former Lieuten- ant-governor and Mrs. Geo. A. Williams, Fairmont, Nebraska.

GIFT IS RECEIVED Uncle Larry's Kitchenette Gets Its First Christmas Present The Tuesday before Christmas Pro- fessor Larimore received a box which was about two feet square and had come from an old friend in Urban, Ill.

Mr. Weaks visited Union last spring, when he assisted in the Colporteur In- stitute. Mid-Atlantic, Steamship "Hamburg," November 9, 1931. Dear Home Folks: It was midnight last Wednesday when we pulled out of New York. . . . The sea was like a mill pond and it continued thus for about three days. Having a cabin midship and on a highup deck, I could even have my porthole open. The weather was balmy for November, and how good the fresh sea air did feel. We sailed along calmly through Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and were rejoic- ing in the prospects of such a wonder- ful winter trip for the North Atlantic. But suddenly about 1:30 A. M. Sunday I was awakened by an awful slushing sound. I leaped out of bed while yet half awake only to find that I was stand- in water. My cabin had been drenched. While my berth is across the room form the porthole, my blankets and sheets were soaked, and things in general were in a mess. And what messy stuff saltwa- ter is when it gets into your things. I quickly poured the water out of my shoes, gathered up my books which had for- tunately largely escaped, got my bags and trunk to a place of safety, and rang for the night steward, but no night stew- ard came. Fortunately I had also put my clothes up on hooks and they were spared. As my bedding was soaked, I threw it all aside, got out my steamer rug, wrapped it around me and was just preparing for another sleep when the steward came. He soon brought me new ONE DAY FOR U. C. DAIRY BOY TRACED Routine of Work at 4:00 A. M. Every Day and Ends at 6:30 P. M. BY VICTORIA LARSON In all walks of life we have "busy days," but at the Union College dairy every day is a busy day. To follow in the footsteps of one of the dairy boys for a day would be a hard task, but let's do it. I presume that there are not many students who, when they drink a glass of that delicious pure Guernsey milk, stop to realize the efforts and pre- cautions that are taken to safeguard their health. They simply drink it and remark as to whether it is thin, warm, cold or sweet, never considering how much time and energy has been spent by others that they might have that delicious drink. The path of the dairy boy is not strewn with roses, by any means. It takes cour- age to get up at four o'clock in the morn- ing and go down to the dairy barn for the early morning milking. Then there is the danger that some one of the forty- five Guernseys may object to the process of being groomed and milked, and show her disapproval by an uplifted foot in the direction of her tormentor. Then, too, those new white suits with the snappy red letters on the back may become soiled in an undue hurry. But nevertheless, the dairy boys are a happy group, and in spite of their seeming hardships, their work is done amid much laughing, sing- ing, and clever jesting. Back again at four o'clock in the afternoon, their work seems to be no drudgery to them. Hats off to the dairy boys! Their faithful labors are always a source of joy to the dairy superintendent, J. E. Stout. Let's go to the dairy room where the milk is taken care of. As we near South hall, we hear a great commotion from the northeast corner of the basement. We enter and are met by a profuse amount of steam and noise that may frighten the faint-hearted, but take courage! It's all coming from the bottle-room where the boys are washing and sterilizing the bot- tles, preparatory to bottling the milk. When the milk is brought to the dairy room, it is double-strained and then cool- ed by a Baker ice-cooler. It is then bot- tled and capped. The hygienic way in which the milk is cared for gives it a low count of bacteria which makes it a health drink and gives it a flavor, slog- anly speaking, that "can't be beat." Let's stay in the dairy room from five until six-thirty and find out what hap- pens to this daily portion of one hund- red and twenty-five gallons of pure Guernsey milk. Four hundred half-pint bottles of this milk are sold daily to the cafeteria, besides the bulk milk and cream used in the kitchen. Five o'clock arrives, and with it a steady stream of satisfied customers who carry off their daily supply of milk and cream in pints, quarts, and gallons. Yes, The Union Col- lege dairy is a busy place. Its activities are well-planned and directed, it meets all the city dairy requirements, and above all, its products satisfy. Patronize the Clock Tower advertisers bedding and I was all fixed for the rest of the night. I was not the only one who suffered the inconvenience of a "washout" how- ever. Soon after getting up, I heard a commotion out in the hall, and looking out I saw a woman from a near-by cab- in standing in the hall exclaiming, "My husband is drowned, - meaning of course that he had been soaked. It appears that he was sleeping on the sofa just under the porthole, and so he got the full force of the bath. Others began coming out who had been like afflicted.. Well, by morning we realized that a real change had come, and that we were in for a bad time of it. The wind con- tinued to grow stronger and the waves to roll higher and higher. . . . Fewer folks appeared on deck this morning, though a surprisingly large number brav- ed the dining room, but there the trage- dies ocurred. Even Sunday evening was bad enough in there. It was the evening when at nine o'clock they had a German beer celebration. While I did not attend it, I walked through on my way to the social hall just at the height of their celebration. A huge sea struck just as I was passing. My, what a jamble of beer bottles, and glasses, and chairs and hu- manity. I saw them pull one poor fellow out from under a table. But last night was tame compared with today. Today the dining room has been almost impos- sible, though the turnout of folks has been unusually good. Having been so many days out, I guess folks have gotten their "sea legs", and this is a wonder- fully good ship in a storm. This after- noon at four o'clock "tea", a sea struck us that simply worked havoc. After it had done its work, there was an awful wreckage in the dining room. Folks had caught hold of the table to save them- selves, but this only tore the tables from their base, and tables, chairs, broken dishes, and people were one heap on the floor. Some were injured. Fortunately I escaped as I did not take "tea." But at the dinner hour conditions were still worse, so that meal was not without its episodes. You would see chairs go skidd- ing across the room carrying their oc- cupants to an uncertain destination.

Gathering myself together, with the help of the table steward I re- turned with my chair to my place at my own table, only to find that a rivulet of apricot and prune compot had formed on the floor beside me during my short absence. A supply of this delicacy had been torn from its moorings on a nearby side table. A moment later our steward came sailing down this rivulet. It was all very interesting. After dinner I went up on deck and got into conversation with the ship's officer. He informed me that a full hurricane gale was on, and that con- ditions will probably get worse instead of better, that the wind hardly gets worse than it now is, but that the con- tinued blowing makes the sea conditions worse, though he says that the waves do not get so very much worse than they now are. And so we face the night. Instead of open port holes, they have put iron plates over the ordinary plate- glass holes to prevent accident. Good night! Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 10. The sea was no better this morning, but, if any- thing, worse. They locked us away from the main promenade deck which we used yesterday, and we could only get out- side by going away up on the top deck where the life boats are. About noon, however, there came a change for the better, and two hours wrought a wonder- ful change. In comparison with forenoon and yesterday, it is a calm, though the waves are still running high. By this time tomorrow we should be off the south coast of Ireland, so we hope that our troubles are over.

Clinton and Kenneth von Pohle, Carl Specht, and Ernest Hanson, at her home on Tuesday evening, December 29. After several games had been played, toasted cheese sandwiches, hot chocolate, and stuffed dates were served. This is a woman's age. She is coming into her rights and taking the place which belongs to her. Perhaps in no other country more than in the United States do women have more equal rights with men. This of course is an evolution from the status of women in old colonial days. Down through the decades of our history women have fought for these equal rights. The fight for equal suffrage was the greatest battle of all. Back in colonial days the unmarried woman in most respects enjoyed the same legal rights as a man, but is was a cus- tom for her to marry early, and with her marriage she lost her separate identity in the eyes of the law. She lost all her personal property; the husband con- trolled his wife's conduct. People thought that education was not for women. All that she needed, they thought, was enough intelligence to comprehend her husband's superiority and to obey him in all things. She was supposed to be like a modest violet and blush with cast down eyes in the presence of men. One of the first American women who asked for equal rights was Mrs. Adams. She wrote to her husband, John Quincy, in 1776, - I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than were your an- cestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could The awakening of women began with the visit of Francis Wright, a Scotch- woman, to this country in 1827. This aroused Sarah and Angelina Grimke in South Carolina, William Lloyd Garri- son, John Greenleaf Whittier, Lucretia Mott, and Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, to devote their work to the woman's movement. The women leaders had to face the contempt of their own sex and of the men, because of their alleged bold, unwomanly conduct, and they were in constant peril because of mobs. In 1840 when Lucretia Mott and Eliz- abeth Cady Stanton and their friends were denied admission to a world's anti- slavery convention in London, because of their sex, the fight for suffrage was given a great impetus. In 1848 the first woman's rights convention in the world was held at Seneca Falls. All the reso- lutions at this convention but the one on equal suffrage were unanimously adopt- ed. Though greeted by ridicule and con-. demnation of press and pulpit, woman's rights conventions came to be almost, yearly occurences. The fight became a hard struggle but it was kept on with the resolution that if a woman's property is taxed to main- tain the government she ought to have a voice in forming that government. Results were being obtained in equal rights In certain states except the right of suf- frage. Men preached that woman could better accomplish any object of her desire by her smiles and tears and eloquence than by the vote.. The whole struggle was stopped in 1861 when the war of American Nation- ality began, but at its close, because women had helped so bravely, they were more determined to have the vote, for now even the negro could vote. Now the women were to work for their ideal through a federal amendment. Great po- litical parties ignored the question. Susan B. Anthony now came to the front to fight for her sex. In 1878 the first bill for equal suffrage was introduced, which was drafted by her, and forty-two years later it became the Nineteenth Amend- ment. During these forty-two years it was in the West that equal suffrage made the greatest headway. Wyoming becanie the first woman suffrage state in 1890. Colorado followed in 1893. Miss Anthony was busy everywhere talking, pleading, demanding. Then she died in 1905 without seeing equal suffrage granted. By 1910, because women were filling tens of thousands of public positions, women's status was obviously changed. By now the states of Washington, Ore- gon, California, Kansas, and Arizona were won over. In 1912 the Progressive Party declared it was for woman's suf- frage. In 1905 the bill came before the House of Representatives for the first time but was defeated. In 1916 this ques- tion was a real political issue. Then New York joined the suffrage states, which allowed 7,500,000 women to vote in fif- teen equal suffrage states. About the only enemies left of the movement were the Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Associations. In 1918 the bill barely passed the House with the necessary two-thirds vote. There was a long fight in the Senate; it lacked two votes of passing. In 1919 it lacked only one. When voted on again later in 1919 it passed both Houses rather easily. After women did get the vote many expected something spectacular to hap- pen, but why should it, for this was not an untried experiment. There were only a few southern and eastern states left that were affected by the amendment. But on the other hand, have women mere- ly doubled the vote? Do they vote like their husbands? Mothers vote for their children's sake, and as a whole women use the vote to attain ideals. If by voting for ten years some of the bugaboos about "woman's place in the home, women are inferior to men, women are purer and fairer than men and should not be de- filed by politics," if these have vanished, then something worthwhile has been ac- complished. Birthday Surprise Party Given in Spread Room A spread room party was given Satur- day evening in honor of Freda Myrtle Fullerton. The occasion—? Well, don't ask us. Whoever said that Myrtle Swish- er is a good cook stated it too mildly— whipped cream, birthday cake, and every- thing. Among those present were Fonda Campbell, Myrtle Swisher, Fairy Pet- tey, Hazel Olson, Willie Dee Wilson, and Mildred Atwater. Freda says she likes surprises, but she doesn't care for the reason for having them. The New Year found Union students peacefully asleep; so it came in quietly and undisturbed. Three or four cars of students who spent vacation in Colorado are snow- bound. We hope that they are warm and safe and will be able to join us soon.
