Prof. Advocates Streamlining English Albuquerque, N.M. — (I.P.) 7 There is one university professor, Dr. T. M. Pearce, head of English at the University of New Mexico, who thinks it should be perfectly proper to say: "It is me." Further streamlining and liberal- izing our spoken language, Dr. Pearce would eliminate "whom" the objective pronoun. Thus it should be correct to say: "Who do you want?" Other expressions that have come up from the common man and not down from university professors are "Drive slow," "none are here" and "I don't care for these kind of apples." "English teachers are behind their time teaching textbook gram- mar when they should work for a standard nearer the common speech of everyday man," said the learned doctor. "When Winston Churchill said `it is me' in a speech he delivered in 1945, he was criticized. No spokes- man, however, is more widely rec- ognized as exemplifying the best in English speech." The opportunity of taking part in an effort to be held somewhere in South Dakota this summer and gaining twelve hours of college credit will be given ministerial stu- dents, according to Elder Leslie Hardinge, Union College evange- lism instructor. Classes to be taught include methods of- evangelism, three hours; field evangelism, four hours; personal evangelism, three hours; sermon preparation, four hours. The effort itself will be led by Elder Hardinge, with students as- sisting him with all details includ- ing the special music. Mornings will be devoted to classwork. South Dakota Chosen While the exact location of the effort has not been decided upon, President Rustad of the South Da- kota Conference has suggested Aberdeen, Watertown, Huron and Rapid City. The housing problem looms large at present since the rent of auto courts virtually prohibits their use. Tentative plans include the use of house trailers and a camp of family tents. A community kitchen is also contemplated. The obvious advantage in taking the summer course lies in freeing the student from the interfernce c with other studies cause&140Bid- ing efforts during the regylata school year. Those who are not able to attend the field laboratory rmy take the same courses in resick& next fall, Elder Hardinge said. CHAPEL SINGERS PRESENT LYCEUM TOMORROW NIGHT The Chapel Singers, Union Col- lege junior and senior choir, will present the last program of the 1948-49 lyceum course Saturday evening in the auditorium begin- ning at 8:15 p.m. Director of the choir is Professor Harlyn Abel. Returning three days ago from a 2,300 mile concert tour of the Southwest, this group in its home- coming performance tomorrow night will climax what Abel calls a "highly successful season by a great musical organization." Specials by Small Groups Supplementing the 40 voice choir's regularly scheduled pro- gram of motets, anthems, hymns and spirituals will be small group numbers and solos by Chapel Sing- ers members. Itinerary of the recent eight-day tour included St. Louis, Kansas City, Oklahoma City and Shattuck, Oklahoma. Programs were also pre- sented at Southwestern Junior Col- lege, Keene, Texas; Sunnydale Academy, Missouri; and Enterprise Academy, Kansas.

Such is the predominant opinion found by Mrs. Florence Aller in a questionnaire study of 36 student veteran families, each of whom had one or more children. She used this study as the basis of a thesis on "Family Problems of a Limited Group of College Student Veterans Who Are Parents," as part of her work for a master's degree in home economics. Mrs. Aller, herself a mother and the wife of a veteran who is com- pleting work here for a doctor's de- gree in botany, is now an instructor here in household administration. Both Sexes Agree Asked what would be their rec- ommendation to engaged couples of normal college age, in contrast with the older returned veterans, 58 per cent of the men and 51 per cent of the women said they would recommend finishing college before marriage. Almost exactly a third of both men and women said they would recommend marriage, with post- ponement of children until after graduation. They said this would only apply if the wife were recon- ciled to dropping out of college if the "no-children" plan failed. Only two of the men and four of the women went all the way and rec- ommended marriage,with children, while in college. G.I. Bill Not Enough Family finances, child care diffi- culties and housing were men- tioned most often, in that order, as the chief problems of married stu- dents with children. All but two families said they had to supple- ment G.I. bill income either by working or by drawing on savings or both. Children Add Incentive A large majority said children in the home made studying there more difficult but said they added incentive, which may account for the fact that statistics show that married veterans lead in grade av- erages as a group and that those with children average the highest among veterans. * WE SAW YOU THERE * (Winner of our last "We Saw You There" award was Virginia Fenton.)

JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET ATTENDANCE SETS RECORD Present at the junior-senior ban- quet Tuesday evening were 323 persons, largest group ever assem- bled for this annual spring func- tion. Held in the college's dining hall, the banquet was sponsored and planned by the junior class in honor of the seniors. Flight captain (M.C.) Bob Wide- ner opened the evening's entertain- ment by introducing Charles Phil- lips and Albert Pauley, junior and senior class presidents. After short speeches by the two men, Miss Whitfield and her dining room corps dressed as air line hostesses served the meal, complete with United's trays and flight schedule. Scenic Spots Featured Taking as their theme a United Air Lines flight schedule, the jun- iors presented a program which .transported their guests in fancy across the nation as they highlight- ed in songs and readings the great scenic attractions. Frances Chamberlain opened the unusual program by singing "Wyo- ming." She was followed by Betty Sellers, who read the selection, "Grand Canyon—The World's Sub- limest Spectacle." Herbert Hohensee continued the imaginary flight by singing two of the ever popular Texas cowboy numbers, "I'm an Old Cow Hand" and "Blue Shadows on the Trail." Next area to be featured was that of the Cumberland mountains in Tennessee. Dan Townsend's read- ing, "The Whirligig of Life," sup- plied much of the local color of the mountain region. The Ambassadors, a quartet, con- tinued the simulated air voyage to the Atlantic coast as they sang "Sea Fever." Harold Sample's reading of "Mystery of Night" concluded the program. Credit is due Ed Ortner for his program arrangement and Melvin West for his organ numbers. '49ers Attend 'Homecoming' By using their highly developed imaginations, the class of 1949 at an advanced homecoming party at- tired themselves as they hope to appear professionally fifteen years hence. The occasion, which was held in the gym Monday evening, March 28, saw doctors in surgical gowns, evangelists complete with tux and tails, and several ditch dig- gers with shovels and picks. Milton Frederickson, one of the 150 "alumni" present, won the grand prize when he appeared in an operating gown plus a hatchet and several rolls of scotch tape. Center of attraction, however, was an enormous cake baked by Miss Whitfield. The delicacy was nearly three feet wide and four feet long and represented an open register bearing the names of every senior. 'Share Your Faith' Is Youth Rally Keynote For 2,000 Audience "The church today must revital- ize, come to life, and share its faith if it is to survive in this fast moving world," declared Elder E. W. Dun- bar, world leader of Missionary Volunteers, at the Youth Rally held Sabbath afternoon, March 26, in the college auditorium. Broadcast on Three Stations The zeal to "Share Your Faith" seemed to capture the spirit of the whole audience of more than 2,000 young people, and left each with the urge to go out and share his faith with as many as possible. One hour of the three and one-half hour long program was broadcast over Lincoln's three radio stations. Volunteers Go into Homes One of the outstanding features of the service was the sending out of twenty-eight volunteers to ring doorbells and talk with people. The reports brought back after an hour of visits readily illustrated the possibilities there are at home of contacting people on behalf of re- ligious truths. Inspiring music, which included the combined choirs, the orchestra, a brass choir, a parade of quartets under the direction of Mr. Wayne Hooper, and numerous solos and small ensembles were in charge of Mr. Harlyn Abel, head of the Un- ion College Music Department. Conversion Hero Present The story of youth on fire for Christ was depicted in "A Guy Named Joe," a real life drama given by Mr. Beaven and his radio speech class. Surprise of the afternoon came when Elder Skinner called the Joe of the portrayal, Joe Engle- mier of Ponca City, Oklahoma, to the microphone to voice in person his desire to tell others of the mes- sage he had found through the Voice of Prophecy correspondence school. Other features included in the fast moving program were: a read- ing, "Walking with God," by Betty Jane Glew," interviews of union Missionary Volunteer secretaries by a student representative of the un- ion; and interviews of foreign sec- retaries by Elders Skinner and Lucas. Union Conference Missionary Volunteer secretaries of the North American Division who were pres- ent were: Elder R. A. Nesmith, At- lantic; Elder G. E. Jones, Cana- dian; Elder G. R. Fattic, Central; Elder 0. S. Hershberger, Colum- bia; Elder D. W. Hunter, Lake; Elder E. A. Robertson, Northern; Elder G. W. Chambers, North Pa- cific; Elder J. R. Nelson, Pacific; Elder L. M. Nelson, Southern; and Elder W. A. Howe, Southwestern. "We are living in the age of frightened men," said Elder G. Eric Jones, former president of Atlantic Union College, and currently edu- cational secretary of the Canadian Union, as he spoke to the students of the lower division in chapel Monday, March 28. .Speaking of the people's greatest need in this atomic age, Elder Jones said that most people need an understanding kindness. Refer- ring to atomic power he likened this • generation to the passengers on a train headed downhill and picking up speed. The train carries dynamite. .

It has been running through my mind ever since with ever-widening connotations. Not only does God need to get you alone for spiritual reasons, but every worth-while creative endeavor that one undertakes requires an "aloneness" either in conception or prepara- tion. And only in 'aloneness" can one adequately survey the horizon of one's life to draw evaluative comparisons that will serve as guideposts to chart the life. Someone has said, "We cannot speak in public because we do not think in private." How apt, how true. As an institutionalized creature, which we all are, how I rebel when I find myself trying to utter great thoughts, well-expressed, without the proper preparation—alone. How our chapel audiences lapse into somnolence, or worse, as a speaker says the same old thing in the same old way, betraying the fact that he, too, has not been enough alone. We are becoming more and more like a horse in a treadmill who has to keep running in order to stay where he was. The hectic tempo and mass activity have spread into all phases of our lives, and we have forgotten how to be alone. During the week we think of all the things we'll do when the pace lets up at week end—and when the week end arrives we find ourselves hurrying to meetings or resting from sheer exhaustion. There is nothing left of the end of the week but the beginning of another. But the sane Christian allows himself some time for his own thoughts. Not afraid of society, he knows he must give some time each day to con- templation and worship. He must constructively compare his actions with his intention; he must relax and plan for the future and himself. Even a daydream might be beneficial, for great resolves first have been born in that wispy stuff of the mind. It is alone that one must face the realities of life, and only alone can one get the mental balance, the courage, the preparation to face them. Privacy of this sort can be found by all of us. It must be found if we are to accomplish greatly while remaining sane, happy and healthy indi- viduals. Have you been "alone" lately? —Guest Editorial by Professor W. H. Beaven The Bible and Literary Forms The discovery that the Bible is composed of epics, lyrics, dramas, essays, sonnets, philosophical works, histories and so forth is most reveal- ing. But, failure in studying these literary forms is a formidable obstruc- tion definitely limiting one's capacity for Bible understanding. Consider the following examples. To understand the construction of the essay is to comprehend better James 3. To know the elements of a good short story is to appreciate more adequately the book of Ruth, which is considered the best short story ever written. To understand biblical versification, which moves with a rhythm of parallel lines, is to feel its power aright. And we could go on listing the various types of Bible literature and the greater blessings accompanying the knowledge of their workings. Another hindrance in obtaining the maximum benefits of Bible read- ing is the Sabbath School lesson outline, valuable though it is. This result has come about because texts are gathered from here and there. Likewise, our doctrines are based on texts scattered throughout the Bible. As one writer states, "To read a few verses in Genesis, or a chapter from Job or Isaiah, is not to read or study the Bible. For doctrinal or theological purposes we may select passages at random and prove almost anything, but such gymnastics are not studying the Bible: neither can we by such methods come into possession of its rare thought, rich truth and exalted emotion. Deep and true appreciation of art and religion is not so acquired." In conclusion, while admitting the vital necessity of the Sabbath lesson and doctrine, we must delve beyond them with the aid of an understanding of literary forms. For, literature that represents the con- sciousness of God beautifully at play among the richest qualities of thought and feeling is always difficult to appreciate. To understand, one must pay the price: real scholarship. For verily, the Scriptures point out, steep and narrow is the way to life and few there be who find it. K.H. IF YOU NEED MONEY!

Our warfare is against doubt, scepticism, and uncertainty. We must be the living proof of the saving, healing Son of God. CHAPLAIN G. E. RIDAY DEAR EDITOR Takoma Park, Md. DEAR EDITOR: What welcome news that the CLOCK TOWER will be coming weekly! We certainly enjoy it, for it gives us a good picture of what is happening back "home." We agree with the student note in favor of "College Daze," but we should also like to add some praise for the clever cartoons ( this last one was especially touching!) and for Bob Widener's feature articles. It is often very enlightening, also, to consider the "What Do You Think?" survey. Sincerely, GILBERT AND OLIVE JORGENSEN DEAR EDITOR: Speaking for the Golden Cords staff and in reference to the subject of passing bylaws to the Golden Cords constitution, I want to do a little "face saving." As the subject was brought up in chapel Tuesday, it seemed that the Golden Cords staff was not interested enough to take the floor and give its views. Although there seems to be an abundance of orators at Union Col- lege who will air their views on any subject, no matter what it be (free of charge, too), the Golden Cords staff was there and Mr. Mark Dickenson, a very active member of the staff, brought out staff views very clearly on a subject which really did not warrant the time given it. The by-laws of the Golden Cords constitution are merely auxiliaries which aid the staff in getting to the student body the best annual avail- able in the shortest length of time. An example is the option of wheth- er the finances require a subscrip- tion campaign or, benefit program to bolster the budget and give the organ a safe margin in which to operate. In closing, the staff wishes to say that it is more interested just now in getting the annual into the hands of the students at the time prom- ised than in passing bylaws to take away democratic rights belonging to the student body. As it looks from here, the Golden Cords should be off the press, stitched and bound, by the 15th of May. Sincerely yours, EDDIE BURNETT, Editor SPRING 'Tis time to rise from winter's barren sleep, 0 Nature bare and fair in nudity. Woke up! Wake up from frosty slumber deep; Dismiss life's dullness; rouse activity; Gird on your verdant coat of beauty rare; Bedeck yourself with roses, daffodils; Let sweet aromas fill the atmosphere, And white gardenias banish winter's ills. Arise! Behold, your lengthy nights ore post; And lo! The robins greet the break of day; The south winds' blowing drive the win- ter's blast With warmth; and sunny days have come to stay. Alas! Spring's here! 'Tis time to live anew; The joys which Nature brings belong to you. —Claude H. Chan Seminar Hears 'Modern Eve' "I have wished I were a man so I could be of more service in God's cause," was the thought expregsed by Jean Rowe, one of three girls who spoke at the ministerial semi- nar Sabbath morning, March 26, on the topic "Modern Eve." But, as she and the other two speakers contin- ued, they proved that the modern Eve has many opportunities to serve in the Lord's work in ways in which men are not able to serve. Virginia Fenton discussed the so- cial and spiritual opportunities in youth leadership by working as Sabbath School teachers, organiz- ing sunshine and literature projects and by carrying forward progres- sive class work. Prospective secretaries were told by Venessa Bovey of the many blessings that come to one that is consecrated and who makes her work such that others may see Christ represented in everything she does. earl ancl Wrzifort.2. A group of student nurses went with Miss Hansen and Miss Herin to Campion Academy on Tuesday morning where they gave the chap- el program. Those who went were Mary Kay Woods, David Killion, Georgette and Laurice Kafrouni. Students and Boulder Sanita- rium workers are enjoying the priv- ilege of having Dr. Lawrence Joers conduct the week of prayer. He has been bringing out spiritual lessons from many of his experiences as a medical officer in the Navy during the war. He is the author of God Is My Captain. * Dr. Woods, Dr. Ogden and Miss Bunston attended the quarterly meeting of the co-ordinating com- mittee held at Porter Sanitarium on March 24. -This committee, com- posed of these members of the col- lege faculty, full-time faculty mem- bers of the clinical division, medi- cal superintendent, business man- ager and director of nursing service from both sanitariums of the clini- cal division, and the president, sec- retary-treasurer and educational secretary of the Central Union, studied ways and means of improv- ing the collegiate school of nursing program. The ground-breaking ceremony at Porter Sanitarium on March 24 was an interesting occasion. A large crowd watched as Governor Knous turned over the first spadeful of ground where the new addition to the sanitarium building will be lo- cated. The nurses are especially happy about this addition, for the blueprints call for new classrooms, a library and school of nursing of- fices. Misses Mazie Herin and Alice Smith have returned from a ten day trip to California. Georgette Kafrouni ran out of answers the other day. One of her patients, a little blond curly headed girl, set out to find the answers to many questions which seemed to be puzzling her about nurses. First, "Why do you wear striped uni- forms?" Next, "Why do you wear white caps?" Then, looking from Gretchen Bock back to Georgette, she inquired, "Why do you wear your hair black?" Mrs. Guy Williamson visited her daughter Edith on Thursday, March 24. CAMPUS VISITORS * Former Unionites now serving as Education and Missionary Volun- teer secretaries throughout North America who visited the college campus during the recent conven- tion held in Lincoln included the following: Mr. and Mrs. Rollin Nesmith, '24; Gerald M.

Alumni visiting the campus after the business manager's and ac- countant's convention held in Oma- ha were H. C. Hartman, '21, V. P. Lovell, '18 and Carl Clark, '43. Other Unionites visiting the campus were Dr. Frank H. Yost, '33, E. E. Bietz, '31, Orvin Fillman, '46, Walter Howard, '45, Branka Bogdanovich, '48. Mr. H. L. Shull, business man- ager of P.U.C. and brother of Miss Virginia Shull, visited the campus following the convention in Oma- ha, Nebraska. Miss Mary Kisz, supervisor of surgical division of nursing at Por- ter Sanitarium was a recent campus visitor. Visiting her son Melvin and her brother, Harlyn Abel, was Mrs. West of Lodi, California. What Do You Think ? Theda O'Blander is the CLOCK TOWER'S inquiring reporter for this issue. In her contacts with twelve of Union's students, she asked the ques- tion: What new structure would you like to see on the Union College campus? Here are the replies. Shirley McLaughlin—As I look at it, it's a draw between a new ad- ministration building and two new dorms. Paul Dickinson—I think we need a new power house and a new laundry. Lois Jaynes—I think we need a student union building—a place where we can read and relax between classes. Norman Rasmussen—An ad building and two dormitories are needed badly. Jean Rowe—We need a new laundry—one that is not on top of a power house. Dale Whitcomb—We ought to have a student union building. Then students could make social contacts. Mary Coma Myers—I think we ought to have a new cafeteria with a lot of good food in it. Tate Zytkoskee—I"think we need a building for the religion depart- ment. Don Hessel—We need a student union. It gets awfully hot sitting on the radiators in the basement of the ad building. Warren Royer—I would like to see a building erected for the religion department. Bill Murphy—I would like to see a new boys' dorm built—one with showers than can be controlled.

In a close contest the Viewmen quintet staved off a late rally by Minnesota to defeat the Northmen and take tournament laurels 34-28. Going into the game both teams were on even terms, each having defeated the other once. Thus, the thrill and finality of climax was on this one. The Viewmen worked well together throughout the con- test as they seemed to lose some of the bad case of jitters displayed in their former meeting with Minne- sota. Overcoming an early Minne- sota lead, the villagers gradually pulled away to an ever-increasing margin that reached 12 points dur- ing the third quarter. Minnesota rallied in the last 10 minutes as they broke Roland and Berlin loose for six quick points. Time ran out, however, as the Viewmen successfully stalled dur- ing the last few minutes. For the winners, Loomer, Stokos and Barger played outstanding games as they led their mates to the championship. Noticeably lack- ing for the Minnesotans was the ' 'spark which lifted them to a peak performance in their previous win against the same team. Leading scorer for the losers was Ken Hol- land with 9 markers.

Harriet is 5 feet 8 inches tall with dark brown hair and dark eyes. The place for a knocker is out- side the door. For the Youth's M.V. Fellowship, Sabbath afternoon, March 19, the senior class presented "The Com- ing of Light," a play portraying the translating and printing of the Eng- lish Bible.

Bonnie Lou Wilson evidently has spring fever. The other night she washed out some socks and came into the room to hang them up on the line. Busily talk- ing, she proceeded to throw the socks up over the line, but, to her dismay, found that her roommate had taken the line down that morning. Perhaps you have heard of an avi- ator's "flying" boots. Well, Ruth Hanson and Betty Bernhardt have some high- flying shoes, too! The question remains, however: How did they get perched so high on top of the new book shelf in the library? Dean Ogden is evidently trying to get attention in chapel no matter what the cost. The day before vacation he got up and announced, "Today, I will pass out in chapel. . . ."

Bruce B. was waiting around as if looking for a bus. Marilyn Nelson finally came out, and Bruce starting looking for her coat. Imagine his surprise to find it already in the hands of Ed Scheresky. Marilyn, rather embarrassed, went back into the dining room to start over again, but upon considering it further, she came out and they headed for the basketball game— the three of them. Saturday evening, April 2, entertain- ment for 15 U.C. students was provided at the home of Dr. and Mrs. R. W. Woods. Testing the I.Q. of the assembled guests proved one of the more popular -forms of amusement. First to be sub- jected to the process was Bruce Baker, who succeeded, while blindfolded, in identifying an egg beater, potato masher, a lemon and an egg. Climax to Bruce's exam came when an egg was broken over his head. Baker's terse statement. "Guess that was my c: st Toni." Vacation remnants present for the eve- ning's fun were: Christine Carlson, Hulda Roehl, Joan Rasplicka, Jane Ogata, Vel- ma Johnson, Harold Cherne, Eddie Bur- nett, Betty Bernhardt, Bruce Baker, Bob Bell, Ed Denny, Altha Regester, Ann Gurban, Joe Espinosa and Dale Whit- comb. Mrs. Jones was warning the girls of being careless about sorting the mail and used as an example the fact that a "cattle" from Spiegel's was misplaced the other day. I think the word you want, Mrs. Jones, is catalog. Elder Nepchild informed the girls in worship the other night that he believed a speech should be like a woman's dress; not too long and not too short; just enough to cover the subject. Speaking of pictures—when asked to see the contents of his billfold, Bill Nel- son proudly displayed, not his favorite girl's photo, but a series of skeleton views!

We have heard of after Christmas sales, after New Year's sales, fall sales, etc. Now we have an after nine weeks tests sale in the bookstore. Dictionaries are now selling at $3.00, formerly priced at $5.00. -* The other day as Shorty Schlisner was going to the Chat with the Anderson sis- ters, Ed Denny called to him and said, "Say, Shorty, when you're walking with two girls you're supposed to let them walk in the middle." How about that, Shorty? A dinner party was held for Dale McCune on his birthday last week. When it came time to cut the cake, Dale asked Perle Lockert to help him. "But, Dale," protested Perle, "this isn't a wedding cake." A wife and a sister adds up to too many women for Pete Roehl's purse. Sister Hulda came into the library a few nights ago, told Pete to put his hands above his head, then picked his billfold from his pocket and walked out of the li- brary. If she hasn't already had such ideas, Phyllis is sure to acquire them. If you ever have time on your hands and want an amusing pastime, go over to the library and look at the call slips. It's very interesting to see who checks out what. Here are a few examples! Francis Chase — Strange Animals I Ilave Known. (He lives in the castle.) Bill Shrake—The Musical Amateur. Gloria Eichman—So Little Time. Pat Pingcnot—How to Reduce and Keep Slim. Bob Bell—Railroading from the Rear End. Charles Read — Guidebook for the Young Man About Town. Prudence Ortner—Under a Lucky Star. Elise Olson—Attaining Maturity. Ed Brun—Marriage. Shirley McLaughlin-70 Miles from a Lemon. Chemistry Tests I think that I shall never see A test as hard os chemistry. A test that makes you stir and squirm, And wonder if you'll pass this term; A test that makes you tear your hair And wish you were not sitting there; A test that turns your hair to snow Because it asks what you don't know. Tests ore flunked by folks like me, 'Specially when it's chemistry! —A chemistry student I think that I shall never see A harder course to teach than chemistry. Pupils that make you fret and squirm And wonder if they'll ever learn; Pupils that make you tear your hair And wish they were not sitting there; Pupils that turn your hair to snow Because they ask what they should know. Pupils ore flunked by profs like me When they don't study chemistry. —Mr. Brown Union College chemistry dept.
