STONER LAUNCHES RED CROSS DRIVE Dr. Lew Sarett, eminent speech authority and poet, will appear in lecture at 8 o'clock p.m., Satur- day, March 6, in the Union Col- lege auditorium, 49th and Pres- cott. Evangelistic Program Planned by Students \V. M. Stoner, president of the Western Brick and Supply Com- oany, stated at chapel exercises Monday morning, March 1, that were he to choose a slogan for the Red Cross organization it would be, "First in peace, first in war." Eighteen members of the field evangelism class are planning a public evangelistic effort in the city of Lincoln to begin Sunday evening March 7, according to Elder Jerry L. Pettis instructor of the class. Elder E. W. Wolfe pas- tor of the Lincoln Seventh-day Adventist church, will be the evangelist. The meetings, which will be conducted five nights a week, will be held in the church at the cor- ner of Seventh and A Streets. The church has a seating capacity of 300. The plans for the effort are be- ing formulated by the following committees: program committee, chairman, Charles Lickey; adver- -tismg, --John Boyd; literature and Bible study, Gideon Haas. Col- lege groups will furnish the mu- sic at the meetings. Elder L. G. Jorgensen, home missionary and Sabbath School secretary of the Central Union conference, spoke to the student body at the evening vesper serv- ice February 26. He depicted true greatness as that exemplified in the life of Christ, who came not to be ministered unto, but to minis- ter. Elder Jorgensen summarized his talk by saying, "Giving some- thing without expecting something ill return is true greatness." On Sabbath at the 11:00 o'clock service Elder Jorgensen opened the 1943 "march of the Signs" campaign. The College View church members responded by raising 85 per cent of their quota of 1000 Signs of the Times. It is expected that the goal will be more than reached by the close of the campaign. As John the Baptist was a fore- runner of Christ's first coming, so the Signs is a forerunner of His second coining Elder-- jorgcnsen• pointed out. Comparatively the message of the Signs is speeding to finish God's work and many have recognized the significance of its truth. This year, 1943, marks the sev- entieth year in which the Signs has carried its message in thirty 'languages. It is a "voice crying in the wilderness." Elder R. A. Anderson, associate secretary of the General Confer- ence Ministerial Association of Seventh-day Adventists, will con- duct the spring week of prayer at Union College from March 5 to 13. A background of experience in America, England, and Australia as well as other parts of the world will be brought by Elder Anderson in his addressess to the students and faculty. Classes will be short- ened to permit daily chapel ap- pointments and prayer bands. Evening worships will be con- ducted in the chapel for all stu- dents. Religion major students will meet with Elder Anderson daily for an hour and a half discussion of problems pertinent to the min- istry and evangelism. Writing poetry since 1912, Lew Sarett has sought to capture an understaiding love and apprecia- tion of wild life in his verse. His volume entitled Slow Smoke re- Dr. Lew Sarett ceived the award from the Poetry Society of America and was voted the best volume of verse publish= ed in America in 1925. Sarett has enjoyed encouragement from :such literary figures as Carl Sandburg, Harriet Monroe, and Stuart P. Sherman. One of America's lead- ing contemporary authors, Lew Sarett is professor of argumenta- tion and persuasion at Northwes- tern University. Students Teach Sabbath Classes The Weather In the past week the always dif- ferent and sometimes delightful Nebraska weather has varied from a brisk zero degrees to a balmy 55 degrees. It has snowed, rained, frozen and thawed. If you don't like the weather, just wait a min- ute. Nineteen students are teaching college Sabbath School classes this semester. As announced by the Sabbath School officers they are Oliver Johnston, Wayne Moore, James Johnson, Junius Olson, Belva Boggs, Willard Christensen, Lorraine Davis, Ed- ward Nordstrom, Mavis Beckner Evelyn Grimstad, Ruben Wid- mer, James Stevens, Harley Schan- der, Evelyn Halvorson, Vernon Burgesou, Jefferson Weddle, Rob- ert Nomi, Ira Pound and James Pogue. Mr. Stoner has actively sup- ported Union College with his ef- forts. He was one of the Lincoln business men who campaigned to raise $24,000 for the Union Col- lege library in 1937. More recent- ly he gave his assistance to Lin- coln's contribution of $14,000 for the new auditorium on the cam, pus. The Work of the Red Cross As an example of what the Red Cross does for relief in emergen- cies, Mr. Stoner told his audience. that $26,000 was spent by the Lincoln Red Cross to care for the 400 persons left homeless in the flood at Lincoln in the spring of 1942. The chapel speaker added that the Red Cross performs the work of charity first and asks the ques- tions afterwards. The question asked is, "Will you contribute to the Red Cross fund?" Low death casualties among American wounded in the present war are due both to the use of sul- pha drugs and the availability of blood plasm, continued Mr. Ston- er. He further asked his listeners to give not only money to the Red Cross in its present nationwide campaign for funds, but to donate their blood to save lives. The speaker suggested that blood from a member in the audience might save the life of one of the 97 Un- ion College men now serving in the army. College Organization According to the statement by Miss Dorothy Sampson, R. N., in- structor in nursing education and health, at the close of chapel exer- cises, the Red Cross money cam- paign at Union will be conducted during the first days of March..

Vole Qoal Ships sail east, and ships sail west, While the self-same breezes blow It's the set of the sails And not the gales, That determine the way they go.

The president spoke at the church service and Mr. Mil- ler and his group had charge of Missionary Volunteer meeting and also presented a musical progritin Saturday night. Evelyn Sherrig, Irma Faye Ber- bohm, Robert,,Edwards and James Stevens, • comprising the mixed quartette, furnished two groups of vocal numbers. Mr. Miller showed how music and poetry must be suited to each other by setting to music the words of a short poem handed to him from the audience. -le also played several descriptive nieces of his own composition. Robes't Edwards and James Stev- ens each sang two solos. Designerof College Buildings Dies Mr. I larry W. Meginnis, well known Lincoln architect and good, friend of Union College, died on February 22. At the time of the atal heart attack Mr. Meginnis was serving as toastmaster at the Nebraska chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution banquet being held at the Cornhusker Ho- tel. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon in the St. Paul Methodist church. Mr. Meginnis was known in Lincoln as the architect of six schools, the Masonic temple, the Federal Securities building, the Y:W.C.A., and many other build- ings. In College View, however, he was known as the man who drew the plans for the college library building, the new auditorium, and the Don Love industrial building. According to Mr. Hartman, bus- iness manager of the college, Mr. Meginnis did not stop working when the blue prints were drawn (Cor)tiiii4-4 rm page 3.)

Have you considered how the students study? No? Then think back to exam time in January. Bigger armloads of books were car- ried around the campus than ever before. The library was crowded not only at night but also in the afternoons. Such a condition must have inspired a poet to hastily scratch these words: Sing a song of students Cramming for exams, Flocking to the library Like a bunch of lambs. When exams are over, Students then will sing; And put away their textbooks At least until next spring. One can do nothing but marvel at the knowledge students gain in the few hours before exams. Contemplate the great minds that would be developed at Union if we really studied all the time. The trouble is that so many of us pursue our subjects but never effectively overtake them. —John Boyd Do Vour part. . . Someone said the other day, "I didn't go to work this morning. I was just too tired and sleepy." That particular person works in the kitchen.; .The hour,,was• 11:55 a.m. The aforementioned individual was on her way to get a good din- ner which someone else had prepared under difficulty be- cause she did not come to do her appointed task. Yet the of- fender would have felt exceedingly abused if there had been no dinner for her. Of course, you are sure that you would never do that, for eating is a serious business and the meals must be ready. But think it over. Is the Clock Tower ever held up because of you? Are orders from the various industries slow in being filled because you skipped work? Has anyone ever had to carry a heavier burden just because you let yours down? If so, do something about it NOW! —Louise Leeper A Daring Episode On Roller Skates "Ho-hum, (stretch) ouch! Oh- h-h-h-h, my arms— my legs—. Oh! Am I ever sore!" For a moment I couldn't remember why I should he so terribly sore. Then, suddenly, as I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, it all came hack to me. "Oh, yes, yesterday—yesterday, I tried to skate! Poor Martha. I wonder how she feels today. She practically carried inc all over the rink." Thus it was that I recalled my first day on skates—and what a day! Only once before had I been on skates on a rink and that was for about five minutes. Then and there I decided that it was useless for me to try to learn to skate. Ever since our new gym has been ready for use, various people have tried to persuade me to make an attempt at skating. But no amount of persuasion, teasing or taunting could get me on skates. I'll have to admit I was scared. Sunday morning Martha asked me if I was going to skate in the afternoon. I hesitated. Now that the moment had almost arrived, my courage practically left me. "Oh, come on, I'll help you,' Martha coaxed. "Oh, all right, I'll go, but—but I'm scared stiff." Did I say stiff? Martha kept say- ing, "Relax!" But everytime I did my feet tried to run off from the rest of my body. Martha certainly was patient with me. For almost two hours she held me up and I know her arms must have ached because mine did. She rested a little once in a while, but she always came back for more punishment. Toward the last of the period Martha seemed actually to want me to fall. Then I was scared. It seemed that my last friend had turned against me. "But you've got to relax! What if you do fall? That's the only way you'll learn. Come on, let's try it again." Then Bill came along and offer- ed to help me. At that moment, the whistle blew and I think we were both thankful. Bill was glad to get away from me and I was thankful to set feet on firm ground 9:-.ce more. • Editorial Reprinted The editorial by Lorraine Davis entitled "Grains and Steel," which appeared in the October 28, 1942 issue of the Clock Tower was re- printed in the February issue of the Journal of True Education, an eminent magazine popular in the field of education today. Milk It Over . The other day while engaged in my tri-weekly, first period race from South Hall to the adminis- tration building for my first period class, I saw something in the murky darkness that has kept me thinking ever since. I had rushed down the front steps, my left arm was full of books and with my right hand I was trying to finish buttoning my shirt. Suddenly I looked up at the clock in the tower, anxious to see whether I would make it or not. The hands pointed to twenty min- utes to three. I knew it couldn't be more than two minutes until _lass time. In my panting disdain snorted right in the ancient and venerated face of the old time- niece, "Old clock, who do you think you're fooling?" Everyone was on time to my first period class, including the professor, and that set me to won- dering. If that clock had been five What's a „ Rose Mershon was the beauti- ful, 20-year-old daughter of Krog- stad Mershon, a Frenchman. She had Blue eyes, Brown hair, and a Coy little Pogue nose. Herr fav- orite Aaby ( hobby) was walking along the Hol-Brooks and observ- ing the Boyds on the Bowers and Bauers of the trees; or a quick jaunt through the Woods to the Bogg.s and Myers where there were many Martins on the Wing. Sometimes, when the Madd-ox was not ill the Field, Hill or Dale, Rose would ride a Milam to the Neher-est Cleek where she could Bates her hook to catch a Pound ‘Vahlen or a Liane Leiske fish. Rose was quite an outdoor girl. She had spent all of Herr Youngs life with her father on their Wa- kotake cattle ranch in Reynolds, Wyoming. There was plenty of work for her and the cook, Win- ston Falbisaner to do. There were the 25 cowboys—Lawson, Chris- tensen, Halvorson, Houston, Jack- son, Burgeson, Henderson, Pier- son, Torkelson, Thompson, Wilson, Anderson, Danielson, Dickinson, Fredricksen, Jenson, Johnson Magnuson, Olson, Jorgensen, Erickson, � Sorensen, � J e p s o n? Amunlson, Nelson, and Deitrick- son. ( I believe that is all of the "sons"). It was quite a task to prepare the meals for all these men. As the sun dawned in the Eastin sky, Rose dressed and went to gather Logan and Mayberries to put on the Kellogg breakfast cereal which they ate with Woodforks Weddled from Atwood. For dinners and suppers Cook Falbisaner often fed them corn on the Cobb, Morikone, leg of Lamb, Lumper gravy, Bar- tel Pears-on cockel-Burrs, Crofoot soup, salted McCunibers in vine- minutes slow instead of five hours and two minutes, there would probably have been a hundred people late to school. But as it was there was not one who was blamed for tardiness because of the clock in the old clock tower. This clock business is like life. It is the lie closest to the truth which is most insidious. It is more often the hypocrite who turns men away from the church than the agnostic. It is dangerous to live near the truth and not be the truth. Our influence is much more powerful for wrong if we make a profession of Christianity and yet our lives are not exemplary. I think that all of us who make claims of attempting to live the Christ-like life should remember the clock up in the tower. We must be exactly right in our lives. Close is not enough. We must be exactly right; anything less is dan- gerous for ourselves and for our neighbor. gar, Cunning-hams, sauer-Krauss, Ritter's beans, roasted Babcocks broiled Neuharths, and Rein's Genetti and their 57 varieties of soup. Yes, Rose was a very busy girl, but she was always Gladd-en happy and she knew just how to Cope with every situation and Conger every problem. She brought many Joice to the cow- boys and they loved her very much. One hot Eccles-some day, Mr. Mershon received good, but Le- quiff news from his foreign agent Rosenthal Scheresky. The Gable- gram read—"You are now a Rich man. Valuable mineral deposits were discovered on your Lohman,' Brum-field in Prusia. I sold this land to the government fOr mil- lions. Call for you money at Stein- ke-Heinrich Banks on Wall Street, New York." "Kimmel! What a surprise!" gasped Mr. Mershon. Just then Rose came Leeper-ing in. "Father, your Douma looks pale. Here, Seitz down before you Follett down." And she moved his Lockwood chair under h i "What's the matter?" "Here, Reed this," and he hand- ed her the message. Rose dropped on the Reck of the old Davenport and read slow- ly. Her face lit up with a Mass-oz various expressions. "Oh, Father, Stickney with a pin. I'm so happy. I can't believe it is true." "Yes, it is true, Rose. Wiltse we go out after the money and take our trip to Irelan and England from there, or Shaull we send for it?" "Oh, go after it, of course," Rose quickly responded.

TSK Reflections From A Village Student ,••••••••• kapiaa lite& Friday evening after vespers has always been one of the nicest times of the entire week for the girls of North Hall, but last Fri- day night it was better than ever. The peaceful atmosphere that per- vades after vespers was made even more sacred and peaceful with the marimba music played by Harri- ette Sherard and Donnalee Glad- den. As the elevator, in which they played, moved from floor to floor I am sure that everyone enjoyed the beautiful hymns they played, and I am sure that every girl who went to sleep with that music in her ears felt happier for having heard it. Right now third floor is a mess. There's a bath tub in the hall, shower fixtures everywhere, and boards and plaster all around. Why? Because four showers, (the kind that won't stop up, we hope), are being put in. After the third floor bathroom has been completed, work will be begun on the second floor bathroom. Fourth floor, not to lie out done, has had its pen- cil sharpener repaired. Rose Massoz has finally found what electric screw drivers are not made for. She was working in the shop when something slipped and the screw driver went through her finger. When Rodney Longfellow, Veta Mae's brother, went to the army, he had a royal send-off. Saturday night, February 27, he left on the bus for Lovell, Wyoming, and Vida Pogue, Harriette Sherard, and Veta Mae went to the station to see him off. Now that colporteur institute is over, we find that a person who almost seemed to belong to North Hall is gone, too. Miss Esther Lin- sio, who has spent several weeks in North Hall, had become a part of us, and we miss her cheery smile and friendly words. Sabbath morning, February 27, she gave us a most inspirational worship talk, which made us feel that we as girls have a very important role to play in the last scenes of earth's history. Designer Dies . . . ( Continued from page 1.) but at all times worked for the good of the college. Mr. Hartman said, "Union College has sustained a great loss in the death of Mr. Meginnis. He was at all times a Christian gentleman and a good friend of the institution." In his last addition to the col- lege campus, the new auditorium, Mr. Meginnis had taken particu- lar pride in the lamella roof, the first one of its kind in the city. L. P. NORMAN Expert Watchmaker and Jeweler 4803 Prescott Ave. Academy Notes Hollis Reinmuth Hollis Reinmuth, an up-and- coming sophomore of U.C.A., first saw the light of day in Chicago, on December 30, 1926. The first seven years of his life were spent at Broadview, then with his family he moved to Walla Walla, Wash- ington. The regular routine of each year was pleasantly broken by a trip to Chicago where his father took university work and Hollis had a good time with all of his old friends. At the advanced age of twelve he moved to Lin- coln for the perfectly good reason that his family moved here. Hollis is a very ambitious young man for in his spare time he works on his hobbies, match folder collecting and woodwork. He has a great number of matchfolders from all over the United States and even from foreign countries. In their workshop he and his brother have a wood lathe on which Hollis turns out beautiful work. His pet peeve is having to wear glasses but there doesn't seem to be much he can do about that. If you want to please this young man, invite him to your house and feed him lemon chiffon pie; hut, please, don't give him egg-plant, espe- cially fried.

A Student Gives Speech Reactions By Veta Mae Longfellow A three-minute speech is short —hut, oh, so hard to give, especi- ally when there are those before you whom you are sure could speak far better than you. There's always the instructor standing at the hack of the room, and he simply never makes a mistake. Honestly, the queerest sentation creeps over you. It's sorta bard to describe. Remember the first time you ever took ether? You know how you began to feel numb, and saw spots before your eyes--. That's exactly the same sensation you have the first time you give a speech. Every word uttered seems , to stick in your throat and almost choke you, and besides your heart is beating like a drum in your ears. It takes all your power to keep from running and hiding. Half the time your tongue gets all twisted up and you stand there and stutter. Finally, with nothing left to say, your attempted speech finished, you stumble to a near-by chair to recover your self com- posure. Yes, it was a difficult task, but next time it won't be nearly so hard. The Greek I class has finally ar- rived at the advanced stage where it is necessary for them to pur- chase Greek Testaments.

Her pet peeve is to hear beautiful classical music jazzed.

College Library Has Many Magazines How many times have you look- ed at a new magazine during the past months of school? Not the half dozen periodicals that you un- consciously grasp as you come in- to the library reference room, but have you examined some differ- ent magazines from what you or- dinarily read? The library receives about three hundred current magazines a year. These periodicals contain a wealth of material not found in books or other publications. If you do not examine more than half a dozen magazines a year, you are missing some of the better ar- ticles of the present. You will find that most of the magazines received in the library are indexed in either the Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature, The Education Index, or The In- ternational Index to Periodical Ar- ticles.

Forty-three were in atten- dance. Following the singing of the college song each individual was called upon to make a one-minute speech. Mr. Jesse Dittberner pointed out that the Southwestern Union Conference had made the greatest financial gain of its his- tory in 1942, and was now com- pletely out of debt. He said that it was not for him to attribute this phenomenal gain to the fact that one-half- the class of '42 was now employed in this union. At- tention was called to the fact that of the 40 workers in the Texas Conference, 23 are Unionites in- cluding the conference president, Elder F. D. Wells. There are four employed in the Oklahoma Confer- ence, three in the Texico, and one in the Arkansas-Louisiana Confer- ence. The evening was livened by some friendly toasts to the various states, classes and individuals. Messrs A. K. Phillips, Dan Offill, Jesse Dittberner, M. H. Jensen and Edmond Clifford were the reci- pients of a goodly number of these smile-provoking remark s. Ice cream and cake added much to the enjoyment of the evening. Never did a more loyal group join in singing the college song as they separated from a social gathering.

This week he tells of the completion of that task. A Lincoln man had promised to haul the stone in with a house moving rig, but he failed the per- sistent class. A little later the boys spent most of one night with four teams trying to pull the rock home on a sled. Finally when the teams were worn out, they left the stone there several weeks. During the last month of school the class se- cured the aid of "Uncle Joe" Sutherland, the business manager. His practical common sense avail- ed more than the higher mathe- matics of the collegiates. By means of levers and a log chain he raised the stone and sled up under the running gears of a wag- on and the trip to town was soon made. On the way to the campus they stopped at the scales and weighed the stone. It weighed 3,670 pounds. In the meantime Miss Annab Johnson ( Mrs. A. I. Lovell) Miss Pearl Rees and the other girls of the class had made the blue and white flag. M. E. Kern and an- other boy or two tackled the per- ilous job of placing it on the tow- s er. Disaster nearly overtook them when a support slipped allowing one of the boys to slide to the very brink of the eaves! The next day, amidst suitable ceremonies with speech-making and flag-flying, a glass jar con- taining the names of the class members was buried in the ground under the rocks and the big stone was placed on its foun- dation. For college generations this has been a favorite spot for picture taking and a general social center beloved by all. Later the tree of the class of 1896 died, the stone lost its plate, and it too joined the old rock pile.
