Industries Sponsor 
Progressive Party 
Summer students of Union met in 
front of North hall the evening of 
August 6 for a progressive party 
sponsored by the campus industries. 
The first part of the evening's en-
tertainment was given by the workers 
of the print shop and bookbindery in 
front of the administration building. 
A trio composed of Olga Unterseher. 
Dorothy Ferne Lockwood, and Leora 
Van Allen sang a selection, Walter 
Crawford and Lillion Lane told of 
the special features and workers in 
the print shop and bookbindery, and 
the print shop quartet, composed of 
Oliver Anderson, Paul Kemper, Her-
bert Hohensee, and Walter Crawford, 
sang the print shop song. 
The next stop was the gymnasium 
where Charles Krassin gave an Indian 
war dance. Leonard Sather and his 
"water bugs" presented a game of 
water polo and Melvin Rich per-
formed a feat of long distance under-
water swimming. 
After attending the Union college 
olympics held in the dining room, 
the next stop was North hall porch 
where moving pictures were shown 
and refreshments were served. 
Eighteen Irishmen in conference 
with Stanley Howe, secretary to 
Mayor F. H. La Guardia, almost 
came to blows, so I just read, in 
planning New York's welcome to 
Douglas Corrigan. Reading this set 
me thinking, not of blows but of wel-
comes.

According to latest reports, it is 
almost certain that Senate majority 
leader Alben Barkley of Kentucky has 
won out in the democratic primary 
over his arch-rival, Governor A. B. 
"Happy" Chandler, who is very vig-
orous in his attack on the New Deal. 
The contest was fought along New 
Deal issues and the race was close all 
the way. Senator Barkley went into 
the campaign mainly on his past rec-
ord of twenty-five years in national 
politics, while Governor Chandler con-
ducted a vigorous and impromptu 
campaign, featured by a bit of 
"swing- music and many political 
speeches by Mrs. Chandler. The 
campaign was enlivened considerably 
by Chandler's illness which was al-
leged to be the result of "doctored" 
water given him to drink while out 
campaigning through the state.

reached a collapse. Maybe President

Some scientists have held that there

Academy of Science, reported this

and that they hoped to produce ap-
preciable quantities. 
No Union college student old or 
new, to my knowledge, has immortal-
ized himself by a long air flight in 
a 1929 "crate," nor has any started 
for California and found himself in 
Ireland. Nonetheless, Union college 
is planning for the homecomers what, 
to us, will be a more important home-
coming than Corrigan's will be to 
New York City. 
The band isn't to play, banners 
won't flap in the breezes, but every-
thing that is being done on the campus 
bespeaks a welcome. The campus is 
being kept green and trimmed "so 
that it will look nice when the stu-
dents come back." The library build-
ing is being rushed to be ready for 
use "when the students come.- In 
North hall some new floors are being 
laid, the others varnished; the "spread 
room" kitchen, the laundry room, and 
other places are being dressed up; and 
every corner being cleaned—all with 
a thought of "when the girls come.- 
If you were here to see all this, 
there would be no need of my saying 
Welcome. You would feel the spirit 
of anticipation and welcome in the air. 
Shakespeare talked of the "sweet 
sorrow" of parting. We who were 
left behind last spring were not so 
sure that we could say "goodnight (or 
'good bye') till it be morrow." But 
we do know the gladness of looking 
for you and are saying Welcome to 
you who have been here and to you 
who are coming for the first time to 
be a part of us for a new year. 
LINNIE KEITH. 
BY PRESIDENT A. 
A welcome to Union college means 
more than a hand shake or a casual 
greeting of "Glad to have you with 
us." It embodies the sharing of all 
the ideals and aims for which the 
school stands and the privileges and 
prestige for which it has been known 
these two score and seven years. 
Union has ever striven to develop 
sturdy manhood and womanhood and 
to encourage progressive standards of 
high scholarship capable of meeting 
the advancing requirements of the 
times. To train its students to serve 
God and man more efficiently and 
faithfully has been the purpose of 
the institution. The influence of the 
school has extended to all parts of 
the globe. The graduates of old Un-
ion are to be found in the General 
Conference offices, in the various 
countries of the earth and in all 
branches of the work. The members 
of the alumni are today carrying 
heavy responsibilities in the front 
ranks of this great cause. In its alum-
ni Union's reputation lives and must 
continue to live; therefore, a welcome 
to Union is an invitation to join this 
honored roll. 
This welcome not only invites you 
to share the events of the past but 
challenges you to participate in the 
events of the present. Today, Union 
Life in North Hall 
13) PIGGY SNIMI 
North hall is a real home. We 
have an "other mother" in charge and 
each of the girls is our sister. This 
is the atmosphere we wish to continue 
in North hall next year. You and 
your roommate will have grand times 
together. If you aren't worrying 
about pounds, midnight feeds are lots 
of fun. You can eat almost anything 
at iv.idnight you will discover. (I 
have found that midnight is usually 
about ten o'clock or ten-fifteen.) 
Kappa Theta is a club for all the 
North hall girls. We try to use talent 
from the dormitory and make the 
programs interesting and instructive. 
This club sponsors the friendship sis-
ter idea. Each girl draws a slip of 
paper with someone's name, and tries 
to do something nice for that par-
ticular girl; and then at the end of 
the semester, we learn who it is that 
puts candy in our mailbox. 
In Health club we gain new ideas 
on health and learn to put them in 
practice. Several times during the 
year we hike about College View dur-
ing nice worship hours in the fall 
and spring. King's Daughters' league 
is a comparatively new club at Union. 
The club is divided according to upper 
and lower division. This club has 
as its aim and purpose to maintain and 
raise the standards of North hall. 
These clubs meet during the worship 
hour. On Thursday evening we have 
"good form" night. We learn the 
right way to do things and why. The 
girls can ask questions about particu-
lar problems, and receive an answer 
from the group. 
You will want to make some candy 
in the spread room. We have a little 
kitchen and dining room. Here it is 
possible to serve a dinner. The 
lounge is a big room on fourth floor

is making history and expects to make 
history under God's direction until 
time shall close. Today, the pages of 
history for the next school year are 
open to you. Your name may be 
chronicled in the events of the school 
year '38 and '39. 
The welcome to Union is issued to 
young men and young women who 
desire a Christian education and who 
have the desire to join in maintaining 
the aims and objectives for which the 
school stands. Youth of vision and 
energy who are willing to prepare to-
day for the emergency of tomorrow, 
youth who love and fear God are the 
ones to whom this welcome is extend-
ed. The teachers of Union college 
are busy preparing for their part in 
the school program for next year. 
They will be at your service, ready 
to guide you and help you in the 
development of Christian character 
and preparation to serve God and 
man. Their friendship and under-
standing is worth seeking. 
I fully recognize that a welcome can 
be so inclusive that it can mean noth-
ing. On the other hand it should in-
clude all that the institution extending 
it has to offer. All that Union has 
and stands for is extended to you in 
this welcome which I trust that you 
will receive in person September 6. 
Life in South Hall 
By PAUL WHITLOW 
I know we are not such perfect 
fellows. There arc things in our na-
tures that might keep us apart if we 
were not at Union. Day by day as 
the conventionalities of living are 
thrown aside and we come in touch 
with the different sides of each fel-
low's nature, we find manliness and 
earnestness and reality. 
I remember how different the fel-
lows of South hall appeared to me 
when I first came to live among them 
three years ago. Well do I remember 
the first time I passed through the 
"inspection crew" which was sitting 
on the front veranda. One fellow im-
pressed me as being a "lanky boy 
whose bolts needed tightening." An-
other impressed me as endeavoring to 
"rule the conversation with a rod of 
sarcasm.- After I was settled I liked 
my room but when the fellow next 
door began playing a musical instru-
ment "for his own amazement,- I 
knew there was to be no peace. I 
left my room just in time to collide 
with a fellow who anteloped down the 
hall as if he were rehearsing for an 
accident. He was a freshman too. 
I walked out onto the veranda again 
to listen to the twenty-five or so who 
were engaged in a "slight-of-tongue 
performance." I felt "snubdued and 
detached,- but living with these same 
fellows that year changed my view-
point. We all changed, I believe. 
At least I began to see many who let 
their light shine without turning the 
spot on themselves. Time had drawn 
us all together and produced fine 
friendships. 
Although South hall is a fine dormi-
tory, governed by an excellent dean, 
and has comfortable rooms, its attrac-
tion lies in the fact that therein dwell 
men who are Christians. 
(Continued on page 3) 
Freshman Week to be 
from September 6 to 10 
For several years it has been the 
policy of Union college to offer for 
beginning students a freshman week. 
'This year September 6 to 10 has been 
set aside for this purpose. 
These days are devoted to the in-
troduction of new students to the vari-
ous phases of college life. Psycho-
logical, achievement, and placement 
tests are given in order to determine 
the individual student's aptitudes and 
training, and thus to aid him more 
intelligently to select the proper cur-
riculum and course. 
During this time the freshman has 
the opportunity of becoming acquaint-
ed with the plant and the facilities of 
the college. with the upperclassmen, 
with the teachers, and with his ad-
viser; of receiving instruction designed 
to acquaint him with the objectives, 
methods, standards, and traditions of 
the college; of participating in social 
functions and recreational activities; 
and of being introduced to the religi-
ous life of the college. 
As this instruction is necessary for 
future citizens of the school commun-
ity, all freshmen are expected to ar-
rive not later than September 6. 
I've Missed You 
Four weeks from today Union col-
lege will begin another school year. 
We are saying nothing new or un-
usual when we tell our patrons we 
expect a highly successful year. 
Doubtless that is the word that has 
gone out from the college for the last 
forty-seven years. But who will say 
that such a prophecy has ever failed 
of fulfillment? It is true that some 
years have been hard ones and failure 
has seemed imminent, but the very 
existence of the college today is proof 
of long years of continuous success. 
We, therefore, have no reason to 
apologize or explain when we say 
that we are looking forward to an-
other successful year. That there is 
to be an increased enrolment seems 
evident beyond a doubt. We might 
predict that the men's dormitories will 
be filled to capacity but it will be 
better to give some figures that are 
based on actual conditions at the time 
this is being written—August 8. 
If we add the number of men who 
have actually been officially accepted 
Moving to Begin Soon 
After Close of Contract 
Week, Says Hartman 
Work on the library building will 
be completed by the middle of next 
week, affirmed H. C. Hartman, Union 
college business manager, in an inter-
view today. August 15 is the sched-
uled date of completion, Mr. Hart-
man said. 
Moving library paraphernalia and 
supplies may begin the latter part of 
next week, and, with various phases 
of landscaping underway, it is ex-
pected that the heating connection 
will be made soon, the interview re-
vealed. 
According to the latest check-up, 
all contract payments to date have 
been made, leaving only the final in-
stalment payments, Mr. Hartman said. 
"Critical observers, commenting on 
the beauty of the structure, say that 
it is one of the most substantial edi-
fices of its kind in Lincoln," stated 
Mr. Hartman.

Statistics Show Capacity Enrolment 
Assured for Men's Dormitories 
to those who were here last year and 
have indicated their intention of re-
turning we have one hundred eighteen 
men now enrolled in the men's dormi-
tories. There will, of course, be some 
change in this number due to unfore-
seen circumstances, but it is approxi-
mately correct. We know of a large 
number who have not yet made appli-
cation but intend to do so. It would 
seem reasonably certain that our 
dormitories will be completely filled. 
But we must bear in mind that 
numbers alone do not insure success. 
We invite the young men who are 
to be in attendance at Union college 
this year to make certain the spiritual 
and cultural progress of our institution 
by committing themselves to a policy 
of rigid and loyal adherence to high 
standards of Christian living. Such 
a course is the only means by which 
we can be assured that our dormitories 
will be a safe training ground for 
those who live within their walls dur-
ing the nine months of the colt 9i 
year. �Guy W. HAueo

BY JEANNE GRIFFIN 
Many activities go together to pro-
duce a well-rounded life for the col-
lege student. An extremely important 
phase of the life here at Union is 
that of religious activities. 'The relig-
ious life is really the thermometer of 
the school. 
A variety of activities combine to 
provide a full and rich Christian life 
for Unionites. Perhaps the one ac-
tivity that stands out most vividly is 
the Sabbath school held in the college 
chapel. The orchestra, secretaries' 
reports. mission talks given by Union's 
own missionaries, and unusually good 
music make a Sabbath school that is 
not soon to be forgotten. Special 
programs given by such organizations 
as the "Knights of 72" and the "King's 
Daughters' league- are always worth 
while. 
One organization in which each stu-
dent may have an important part is 
the Missionary Volunteer society. 
After each meeting on Sabbath, one 
has the opportunity of assisting with 
the work in one of the bands. One 
may choose the type of work which 
appeals to him most—that of the sun-
shine bands, the literature bands, or 
the Master Comrade band. The sun-
shine bands do a valuable work, that 
of cheering the sick and discouraged. 
Part of the students are organized into 
singing bands which visit homes in 
College View, while others present 
interesting programs at such places 
as the Old Folks' home and the Ortho-
pedic hospital. The literature bands 
mail out a large number of papers 
each week and place literature in 
many Lincoln homes. The Master 
Comrade band prepares for organiz-

When Archibald Peabody Jones 
came to College as a Freshman he 
thought he knew Most of what there 
was to know about Everything. He 
thought all he needed was a little 
College Polish. But he was Fooled. 
And he was Bewildered too. for he 
suddenly met a Host of Things such 
as he had never seen or heard of be-
fore—Things that he Couldn't Under-
stand—College Women. 
Time passed and was Kind, though 
firm. Even the longsuffering Objects 
of his Perplexity were Kind — and 
smiled. Archibald learned many 
Things. He learned that he didn't 
know Much about Anything. He 
learned that College Polish is only 
Academic Veneer. He learned that 
Sometimes it's Fun to be Bewildered 
—by a Host of Things he Couldn't 
—still Couldn't—Understand. 
Archibald learned that to have a 
Good Time at Union College, and 
probably anywhere. he had to make 
his own Good Time. If he was to 
Appreciate that first Reception. he 
must Shake Hands himself. If he was 
to Enjoy a March at a Gym Pro-
gram, he had to forget his Childish 
Inhibitions and Ask One of those 
Unfathomable Beings to march with 
him. If he was to have a Good Time 
at a Picnic, he had to get in the 
Game and make a Big Noise too, for 
he discovered that at College unless

likes to milk cows. And more odd 
yet, he dislikes to visit a doctor's 
or a dentist's office. Jim's father has 
the distinction of being the world's 
champion rapid-fire rifle shot. Won-

Jimmy's storehouse of "bright an-

The industries of Union college 
have a two-fold purpose. They en-
able students to defray part of their 
school expenses and they give each 
student an opportunity to train him-
self in some handiwork that may 
prove a means of livelihood in later 
life. 
"Cleanliness," we are told. "is next 
to godliness." The laundry crew 
firmly believes this and they do all 
in their power to keep us clean. Be-
sides doing the school's work, a large 
amount of work is done for Lincoln. 
The equipment is very efficient. For 
example, the large ironer can handle

This department employs about eight-

YOU MAKE UNION 
A
FTER three years at Union college I feel I have something 
to say to freshmen and new students coming to join our 
school family. You are looking forward to the 1938-39 school 
term with anticipation, and we are looking forward to your 
friendship and to your help for the next year. The students 
are what make Union the school that it is. But maybe you 
aren't so pleased about the prospect of coming to Union; maybe 
you aren't at all happy that one of the professors out scouting 
for students convinced you and your parents that you should be 
at dear old Union for the coming nine months. We want you 
to come with an open mind and let the place works its own way 
into your heart. After all, it is a privilege to be here; and it is 
a good place to be. You will find that true the longer you stay 
here. 
You will come to find that one of the biggest reasons for 
liking the school is the friendships which you form here. No 
matter where you go in this world, you will find a Unionite 
who knows a Unionite whom you know and an evening will be 
gone before you finish talking about the memories you have of 
the College of the Golden Cords. Above all there is an inter-
nal friendship you may form while here at the school to carry 
on into the new earth. The Friend of all friends is anxious to 
share all your trials and joys. 
New students coming to our college are inclined to think 
they are coming to "heaven" and that all the students are "an-
gels." Sometime you may see a misstep and then begin to think 
that everyone is doing the wrong thing. In a case of that kind 
it is a good policy to remember that every Unionite is more or 
less the same type of person that you yourself are. The pro-
verbial chain is still no stronger than the weakest link. Don't 
be too quick to judge the whole school by the acts of a few. It 
is the privilege of every student who comes here to school to 
make his own decisions. It is the duty of every student who 
comes here to obey the rules, to enjoy the friendships made 
here, and to be the kind of a person who has nothing to hide. 
-I have to five with myself, and so 
I want to be fit for myself to know.- 
We're waiting for you. 
 
 
 
FRIENDS 
 
 
 
 
 
W
HAT is a friend? 
Someone has said that a friend is one who stands up for 
you in public and sits down on you in private. What kind of a 
friend are you? Does this description fit you, or are you just 
the opposite? 
A friend is the most valuable earthly possession you can 
have. He does not wish you to be something better or worse 
than you are; he takes you at "face value." Because of friends, 
we have reason to doubt the saying, "Laugh and the world 
laughs with you; weep and you weep alone." 
With a friend you can be natural. He understands those 
peculiarities in your nature that make other people misunder-
stand and think you are queer at times. With him you can be 
free. You can be sure that whatever you confide in him will 
go no farther. 
One good thing about a friend is that you can be still with 
him. He seems to know and understand even though no words 
are spoken. 
Sometimes we do not realize what a valuable possession a 
friend is. We may abuse him and neglect him, but for some 
unknown reason he still sticks through thick and thin. 
True friends are few and far between. What kind of a 
friend are you? 
 
WHAT WE GET, WE DESERVE 
E
ITHER we study, or we don't study. Either we get our 
lessons, or we don't get our lessons. We aren't fooling 
anyone but ourselves by telling our friend, "Mr. 'What's-his-
name' isn't fair. He flunked me when I know I should have had 
at least a 'B' or a 'C'.- 
We students have real friends among the faculty members, 
even though we don't know it. We should stand by them at all 
times and respect their judgment. We don't hold it against 
them if they "bawl" us out; we probably deserve it anyway, 
even if we won't admit it. 
When we get our grades, if we do get a "D" or an "F," we 
don't go back to the teacher and try to argue him into giving 
us just one point higher. This doesn't get us anywhere. The 
teacher and our classmates don't respect us for it, and we pro-
bably got just what we earned in the first place. 
 
BY DORIS FRANKLIN 
To the student who has a sincere 
desire to discover new truths and who 
has a curiosity to learn about the 
intricacies and wonders of life the in-
tellectual atmosphere of Union college 
brings joy and satisfaction. 
Each has his likes and dislikes in 
regard to the subjects he takes. It 
seems as if no matter about what 
class we inquire we hear one member 
of the class say, "I just love to go 
to that class. I really enjoy it," and 
another one say, "I am getting nothing 
out of that class at all; I might as 
well stay home and sleep." Usually 
the trouble with the latter student is 
he fails to study the subject enough 
to become interested. We seem to 
like best the subjects in which we 
get the best grades; we enjoy talking 
about things we know the most about. 
Success breeds confidence, and con-
fidence is needed in our choice of a 
life work. 
Union college affords an opportun-
ity for increase in knowledge in many 
lines. The history student exclaims, 
"I love to study the growth and de-
cay of nations and to think of the 
future in terms of the past." The 
mathematician says, "I prefer to think 
in the realm of infinity and to solve 
problems with numbers and un-
knowns.- The enthusiast of English 
declares his greatest satisfaction to be 
gained in the reading of the great 
literary masterpieces and in express-
ing his thoughts on paper. Usually 
the lover of English likes the speech 
department, too, wanting to express 
himself vocally as well as in writing. 
The one who majors in economics 
and business desires a comprehensive 
(Continued on page 3) 
IF I DON'T snap out of it I'll certainly be getting into a rut." 
How often have you heard a remark similar to this? How 
often have you wondered about the person making the remark? 
A rut is usually made by an individual who is either too lazy 
or too unimaginative to strike out in a new direction by himself. 
Others have gone before him who were satisfied with the con-
ditions of their environment, and the person in question can see 
no reason why he should worry himself about methods of better-
ing other's habits and incidentally his own. 
Ruts are nothing more or less than habits. Often it is de-
sirable to follow the path which someone else has worn over a 
rough spot. Experience has taught others that there is only one 
best way through a certain trial, and the rut remains to guide 
the wayfarer who is traveling over new territory. This, how-
ever, is the exception and not the rule. Think of your own life 
for a moment. How many times have you especially noticed the 
good habits of another individual and profited by his example? 
Now think of the times that you have noticed the failures, 
weaknesses, and bad habits of others? Which is the easier to 
remember? Let this teach us something which will 'make us 
more careful about boldly entering the deeply worn ruts of 
others merely because we have not enough character to make 
our own path through difficulties in the proper way. 
When you speak of falling into a rut, check first and satisfy 
yourself that it is a rut which will aid you materially on your 
way through life. Don't think that because someone has left 
ruts in your way that you must follow them. On the contrary, 
if you think for a 'moment that the ruts may not be leading you 
on the way to a better character, by all means be original and 
make your own path through the maze toward the light which 
is held by the Master Pathfinder.

Though it is a pleasure to see the 
radio room and halls on first floor re-
decorated, it does not mean so much 
to me as the privilege of knowing the 
"reg'lar fellers" who live there. 
Living together isn't a problem, it's 
an art; and the fellows are painting a 
picture in my memory of happy. 
wholesome associations. I enjoy the 
friendship of fellows who know the 
times and seasons, that is, those who 
respect the time for study. When it's 
worship time they are reverent and 
take an active part in the devotional 
activities of the dormitory. And when 
it's time for recreation, they are ready 
to play the game, and play it hard 
and fair. Such are the men of South 
hall.

National Geographic. It is interest-
ing to know that most of the work 
comes from public and school librar-
ies. 
Up at the north end of the campus 
is a red brick building housing two 
thriving industries of Union college. 
Upstairs is the Union college press 
and downstairs is the craftshop. When 
the machinery in both departments is 
in use this building fairly vibrates 
with activity. 
The print shop, besides printing the 
CLOCK TOWER, Central Union Reaper, 
and several other periodicals, handles 
a great volume of job work. This 
work keeps an average of twenty 
students busy the year around and 
gives them an opportunity to learn a 
practical trade. 
If sonic girl accidently sticks her 
head through the screen while looking 
out the window, or if some boy acci-
dently walks into his room without 
unlocking the door, it is the craftshop 
that gets the job (that is, the job of 
fixing the screen and door). Besides 
taking care of the painting and repair 
work, the craftshop builds lawn chairs 
that are sold by the students during 
the summer. This is the •department 
for the boy that likes the saw and 
hammer. 
The power house is where all the 
heat comes from in the winter time. 
Besides this important duty, the pow-
er house department takes care of the 
plumbing and welding that from time 
to time becomes necessary. 
The dairy, which has the highest 
test milk in the state, not only supplies 
the school with milk, but also carries 
on a busy trade with the outside. 
However, the milk is so good that 
none of it is delivered; the people 
who want it come after it. Not 
only is milk sold but ice cream and 
cheese as well. It's the "no-sale" ice 
cream which for some reason can't be 
sold, but must be consumed, that 
makes the farm boys' job the envy of 
the campus. 
In the broomshop bales of broom-
corn and piles of handles are con-
verted into saleable brooms. Besides 
supplying the janitors of the school. 
the major volume is sold to outside 
companies. From its beginning the 
broomshop has been a sweeping suc-
cess. 
Any business that is going ahead 
is continually trying to make a bet-
ter product.

of the history of our forefathers, and 
of the spiritual helps which may he 
applied to our lives at this time. The 
modern language enthusiast, like the 
lover of English, has a desire to learn 
about literary masterpieces. He claims 
that to get along with people of other 
nationalities we need to know their 
customs. 
Mr. Anderson says in regard to a 
Biblical language, "You have missed 
half your life if you have not taken 
any Greek!" The teachers of the de-
partments of chemistry, physics, and 
biology reveal to their pupils a new 
world. Before taking classes in these 
departments, we do not fully realize 
the unlimited power of God in the 
creation of complicated biological and 
physical mechanisms of this earth and 
of the universe. 
We who plan to be grade school or 
secondary school teachers are required 
to take more than a few classes in 
education and psychology. Although

courses, most of us do not consider 
the medicine bitter. In the education 
and psychology classes we learn how 
to do the very thing toward which 
our goal is set, and we learn to un-
derstand the feelings of our future 
pupils. 
Our young women who have dis-
covered their center of interest to be 
home economics enjoy the study of 
the management of a home. The 
knowledge gained here will be of help 
to those to whom they later impart 
their findings. They probably will 
also find occasion to use their infor-
mation and experience in homes of 
their own. 
Vie hear from another type of stu-
dent this exclamation: "I don't care 
to search among the Greek, Roman, 
current history, literature, or science 
books to find intellectual satisfaction. 
I want to learn the art of being a 
good secretary or office worker." This 
practical training also may be gained 
at Union college. 
Probably the majority of our stu-
dents enjoy the accomplishments of 
the department of music. Most of us 
wish that we too could play the piano, 
violin, or flute, or make the air vi- 
brate as we express ourselves in song. 
The student of music finds his source 
of enjoyment in the production of 
tones and harmonies which reflect his 
inner feelings. 
At Union college we can find the in-
tellectual life we desire. We will 
get no more out of our lessons than 
we put into them. In Mrs. E. G. 
White's book Education we find the 
following quotation: "Many do not 
become what they might, because they 
do not put forth the power that is 
in them. They do not, as they might, 
lay hold on divine strength." When 
we see need of help in our field of 
endeavor, we have the privilege of 
asking our Heavenly Father to work 
with us in solving our problems. He 
will, if we let Him, make each step 
plain." 
The showing of the Nebraska Pan-
orama at Pioneer's park in Lincoln 
Thursday and Friday nights of last 
week drew many thousands of spec-
tators. Witnesses say that it was a 
beautiful portrayal of Nebraska's 
traditions. The audience was brought 
to realize that Nebraska is as much 
a melting pot as is America itself.

for private parties. Then you can 
listen to the radio and lounge a bit 
in our browsing room which is to get 
new wall paper and a new hardwood 
floor. Last (to be emphatic), I know 
you will enjoy our parlor. It has a 
big fireplace, a grand piano, and com-
fy chairs. You can bring the -spe-
cial- friend in and enjoy a couple 
of hours there. Sometimes we have 
worship there, and occasionally at the 
blinks on cool evenings we sing songs 
around the fire. 
If you want to have a long talk 
with—oh, 'most anyone—cane down 
to the wash room in the basement and 
iron and wash. That is always a 
good place for conversation. 
I suppose after you have been here 
a few months, you will spend some 
time each morning and afternoon dust-
ing your mailbox. I always feel as 
though I can't start anything until the 
mail has come and is distributed in 
the boxes. 
When you are lonesome and have-
n't a thing to do, take a ride on our 
elevator. We have cordial girls who 
like to give people rides. Don't feel 
bad if you room on fourth or fifth 
you won't have to walk much of the 
time. 
There is one thing I enjoy about the 
most of all here in the dorm, and that 
is the friendly "hello" we North hall 
girls exchange. You know you will 
never appreciate a smile more than 
you do here—away from all your best 
friends. Remember, the girl you meet 
in the hall may be lonesome too. 
So we old North hall girls are anx-
ious to greet you new students and 
to take you into the magic circle of 
friendship. 
Oliver Anderson made a trip to 
Colorado July 27 to 31. While there

oming, to attend the Frontier day cele-
bration there.

ing young people and juniors in their 
work. 
Another phase of religious life at 
Union is the Student Ministerial as-
sociation. The weekly meetings of 
this group arc truly inspirational. 
Because of its simple, quiet dig-
nity the Friday evening vesper hour 
is one that lingers in the memories 
of Unionites long after they have left 
school. The blending of quiet music, 
reading of scripture, and simple heart-
to-heart talks have a far-reaching ef-
fect on the lives of the students. 
The prayer bands held once each 
week in the• dormitories have an im-
portant place in the lives of individ-
uals. The students appreciate the op-
portunity of coming together in small 
groups for the purpose of "talking 
things over" with God. 
The religious activities of Union 
have been planned to meet the stu-
dents' spiritual needs from the stand-
point of the individual as well as the 
group. Each student may have a 
part in the religious life of the school. 
No one needs to feel "left out.- 
Elden Burkett, Tom Jenkins, and 
Floyd Byers assisted at the Nebraska 
junior camp held at Camp Strader, 
Crete, Nebraska, July 24 to 31. 
Ann Gruzensky, who took the pre-
nursing course here in 1935 and 1936, 
and who is now a student nurse in the 
Boulder, Colorado, sanitarium, visited 
friends on the campus July 12 to 17. 
Prof. Ira M. Gish was honored at

one makes a Big Noise he isn't having 
a Good Time. If he was to keep 
from Becoming Bored with himself on 
Open Saturday Nights. he had to get 
a Small Number of kindred souls to-
gether (and after signing and having 
countersigned a Small Number of 
Blanks and delivering them to the 
Proper Authorities), throw a party, 
and make a Big Noise in Private. 
Archibald learned further that a re-
cently discovered law—the "Law of 
Chance and Circumstance"—controlled 
much of the Actions of Men at Union 
college. He learned that "Rock Pile" 
at Union connotes Saturday evening 
Sack 'Lunches and balmy Summer 
Moons. He learned that the Way 
from the Lecture Course Auditorium 
is not Via the Serpentine; so he 
learned to play tennis, and ping pong 
became an obsession. He learned 
that the double-dip store across the 
Street is a place where One—or Two 
—can make a Big Noise through a 
straw at the Bottom of a malted milk. 
He learned that despite Adverse 
Conditions, Normality in Social Re-
lations was the Rule at Union college 
and that plain Friendliness, a little 
Smile, a lot of Nerve, and a Big Noise 
constitute a formula which will con-
dense a Good Time out of any Sat-
urday night or week day distillery.
