'On Vol.. XIV � LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, FEBRUARY 9, 1940 � NUMBER 12 Equipment Fund Increases As Students Write Letters, Sponsor Group Projects Attain One Third Of Goal, Send Out 12,000 Letters Believe Man's Motions Determine His Relation To Civil Responsibilities Two questions: (1) Should an Ad- ventist work in shipyards or a muni- tions plant in order to keep peace? and (2) Is it possible to keep the Sabbath in the army in war or in peace? were discussed Sabbath after- noon in an open forum, led by Elder b.. H. Yost, assistant professor of Biblical and church history, held by the Missionary Volunteer society in the church auditorium. Elder Yost, before he submitted the questions to open discussion reminded the group that the Scripture text which says -render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's- points out an individual's relation to his civil re- sponsibilities, but the words following require that a man's first allegience be to God. Some of the questions the speaker suggested were "To what extent shall we serve the state and the nation? Shall we give financial support? Should we volunteer military service? Should we be willing to hold public office? Should we pay war taxes?" According to Neil Rowland, it is the duty of a citizen to uphold and obey the laws as far as his conscience allows him to do so. Elder Yost interpolated the remark that there probably would be no volunteering in the next war. It would be neces- sary for a man to determine his re- lationship with the army after he had been drafted. After Max Eckerc asked whether a person is justified in helping some- one to gain his health so he can go out and kill, Neil Becker expressed his feeling that one should refrain from directly killing anyone, and Maynard Pitchford maintained that the individual motive behind any act- tion was the significant feature. Violet Hanson felt that Christ healed men regardless of their pos- sible future motives. Elder C. D. Christensen, who was (Continued on page 2) CALENDAR February 9 5:54 p. m. Sunset 6:45 p. m.

This sound motion picture is re- ported to be not only a fine, accurate account of an important chapter in history, but also an exciting, yet factual, step by step history of the unification of South Africa, and a vivid description of the character and career of Cecil John Rhodes. The action of the picture begins with Rhodes as a humble diamond digger, and it traces his entire career. Walter Huston, the man who takes the part of Rhodes in the picture, is well known for his accurate portrayal of such famous men as Abraham Lincoln. Junior class officers announce that their will be two showings of the pic- ture. The first, to begin at six thirty. is especially for academy and church school students, but others may attend.There will be no reserved seats. The second showing, for all stu- dents and for people from the village, will begin at eight thirty. Reserved seat tickets will be sold for this, and there will be a slight advance in price for village tickets. Doctor H. E. Reinmuth Discusses Shortcomings and Peculiarities of Words All words are inadequate, accord- ing to Dr. H. G. Reinmuth, profes- sor of German, who spoke informally on the "meaning of meaning" before the students during the Wednesday chapel period. He said in part: "Words do not define concepts or objects. They are not the names of things or pictures of things, they merely give charac- teristic marks of the objects they stand for. Sentences are skeletons, mere hints of meaning. "It is impossible for one individual to understand another perfectly, for each interprets words through his own background and experience. A word can be understood only by two peo- ple who have like psychological ex- perience. The sentence "German liter- ature is highly philosophical and met- aphysical as over against French literature," means nothing at all to a dog. To a ten year old boy it is just a collection of words, but to a scholar of German literature it means a great deal. ' Not only are all words inadequate, but the meanings of words change from time to time. The word "in- stinct" formerly was a term used by psychologists, but now it has been superseded by other more specific terms. "Energy" does not mean the same to me as it does to a student of physics. "Spoken words depend for correct interpretation on inflection and em- phasis. Written words rely on ex- terior marks such as underlining or italicizing. "Words are used in two ways: One uses words symbolically when he wishes to sustain a statement, but he uses them emotively when he wishes to create an attitude. " Prof. J. N. Anderson H onored by Faculty at Birthday Affair China's First Adventist Missionary Professor- Emeritus at Union Professor-emeritus of Biblical lan- guages at Union college and the first Seventh-day Adventist missionary to China, J. N. Anderson, -grand old man of the college," cut his seventy- third birthday cake Saturday night, January 27, at a faculty gathering in the reading room of the college libr- ary. Born in Milton Junction, Wisconsin, Professor Anderson received his bach- elor's degree from Milton college, and in 1901 was sent to China to or- ganize Seventh-day Adventist work there. After eight years in that field, he returned to the United States. completing work for his bachelor of divinity degree at the University of Chicago. From 1915 to 1924 Mr. Anderson was on the Union college faculty; for the next four years at Washington, D. C., Missionary col- lege; and in 1934, he returned to Union, where he was made professor- emeritus in 1939. His years in China fostered an in- terest which has continued through the years, and he carefully follows dispatches from there. In spite of the war and in spite of his statement that the b,:st way to ride in any. Chinese passenger vehicle is "to get out and walk," Professor Anderson insists that he will return to China some day for "one last look." Ranking high in popularity with Union college students, whom he de- lights in twitting about their sparse knowledge of Greek, Professor An- derson is greatly in demand as a chaperone. The students, as a further indication of their regard, dedicated to him the 1939 Golden Cords, college annual. College Women Plan Tea Evening of February 18 Women students of the college are planning to serve a benefit supper in the South hall dining parlor on Sun- day evening, February 18. A nom- inating committee composed of of- ficers of the dormitory and village women's clubs has selected commit- tees to take care of publicity, service, food, decorations, and entertainment Although plans are not complete, the leaders of the group report that the dining room will be turned into a tea room, where supper will be served from six until eight-thirty Sun- day evening. Members of the college family and village people will be solicited to buy tickets for the oc- casion. Proceeds of the affair will be turned in to the library equipment fund. Call to Egypt Received By Two Former Students Word has recently been received that Mr. and Mrs. Tom Jenkins of Scottsbluff, Nebraska, have accepted a call to evangelistic service in Egypt. Ir. Jenkins graduated from Union in 1938 and is in his second year of ministerial internship in Nebraska. Mrs. Jenkins was a junior student here last year. Junior Party Features 1940 School Music Hits Members of the junior class enter- tained their friends at a musical pro- gram in the dining room on open night, February 3. Evelyn Dufloth played the piano as the guests assembled and were as- signed to various tables. The program, master of ceremon- ies Donald Groom explained, was to consist of a review of several "hit" musical performances of the year. Herbert Hohensee, accompanied by Margie Miller, sang "Desert Song," by Rudolf Friml; Marion Carlson played a marimba solo, -Liebesfreucl," by Fritz Kreisler; Orval Hutchison played an ocarina solo, "Carnival of Venice," by Arbor; his encore was the "Old Gray Mare." Francis Reis- wig played a piano solo, "Fantasie Impromotu," by Chopin. During the intermissions in the pro- gram a contest was carried on. Three tables, chosen by pulling their num- bers from a hat, had a contest elimi- nating all but one member from each table. The three contests were spel- ling, identifying familiar odors, and rhyming words. The three winners competed for a grand prize by guess- ing the names of songs played. The grand prize, a box of candy and a dollar bill, was won by Elmer Wase- miller. Foresight, Perseverance Make Living Worthwhile Asserts Miss Shepard Alertness, vision, and perseverance are three qualities necessary for mak- ing living an art, asserted Miss Kath- erine Shepard, when she addressed students in the chapel period on the morning of January 26. "In the beginning God said, 'Let there be light,' the speaker said. And she suggested that this light should be not only the physical light which dispells the darkness and gloom but also the light of vision that will spur an individual on to greater attainments. "Edison worked years inventing the electric light,- Miss Shepard remark- ed. "He said that he had performed over three thousand experiments, only two of which proved his theory. But he had the patience and persever- ance to stick to his task until he obtained the amazing and beneficial results he had hoped for." The art of living demands just this same perseverance, according to the speaker, who said that many people, in their search for blessings and experiences, overlook the oppor- tunities closest at hand. Quoting from a poem Miss Shep- ard emphasized, "Diamonds are chunk; of coal that stuck to their job." Miss Shepard feels that in order to make living an art, one must be able to judge values; he should make profitable use of leisure time, increase his ability to talk intelligently, and watch for interesting and worthwhile occurrences. As fitting advice to follow she stated, "Live content with small means. Be worthy, not respectable; wealthy, not rich. Act frankly, and talk gently." Benefit Games, Movies, Food Sale Planned As Future Projects Results attending what efforts the students and faculty thus far have made in the library equipment fund drive have been most heartening and show averages that would encourage any salesmen or campaigners, report the leaders in the campaign. The report for January 22 showed about $700 for about 700 letters and visits, an average of a dollar per letter. The report for February 5 showed approximately $875 for 800 letters, with nearly six hundred ad- ditional letters having been sent out in the few days just preceding the report. Returns from these letters are expected by the tenth of this month. Students have not exhausted their resources, for they are sending out many more letters daily. Letters have been mailed this week to every family in the Northern and Central unions, approximately 10,000 letters in all, containing a message from the conference presidents in the unions and an appeal from the stu- dents of the college. "The distinguishing characteristic of the present drive is that we're going after $2,500 and we're not going to stop until we've got it!" declared Walter Crawford, the general chair- man. backed up in his assertion by statements of several other directors in the campaign. "Although we are gratified by the liberal response our friends have made to our appeal for (Continued on page 2) Home Study Institute President Olsen Speaks Maintains that Christian Living Influences Others Christians should live such lives of goodness that their very devotion would influence others to be good, said Elder M. E. Olsen, president of the Home Study Institute in Wash- ington. D. C. and a former teacher here, in his morning sermon in the church Sabbath. "The Lord is not slack concerning His promises, He shall come as a thief in the night therefore what types of people should we be?" the speaker asked as he read his Bible text. Christians should not only think of the people in the heathen lands but they should also think of the uncon- verted individuals,their own relatives perhaps, in this country, he asserted. Giving an illustration, Elder Olsen showed how one individual's quiet interest and kind deeds influenced two others to become earnest Christ- ians. "We tend to overlook our bless- ings while we bemoan our lack of worldly goods, but if we grow in grace, we shall grow in knowledge of the intangible things that are worth far more than material possessions." Elder Olsen asserted.

LIP service? What does that term mean anyhow? Con- sent without conformity? Yes, that might be one definition. We know when we come to Union that the school has a code of rules, standards, and that each member of the college family is expected to live up to these rules—to live the code and exemplify it to others. If we, students of Union college, were accused of lip service we probably would be indignant. But we assented to and agreed with her standards by enrolling here. If we deliberately overstep our privileges—any of them— regardless of whether or not we are found out, how can we justify our pledges made when we came here? HAVE you ever heard anyone sympathizing with himself for having to sit through a dry sermon? Someone has said that if you don't carry anything away from a sermon, the trouble might be that you didn't carry a container to church. Take along your sympathy, brains, and at- tention—they stretch when they're used often. Did you ever stop to think that a great deal of the trouble isn't with the minister. It's barely possible that it might be with you. The minister has a difficult task if you're determined not to be interested. Did you ever try to make a turtle stick his head out of his shell? The harder you try, the farther he pulls his neck in. Correlation? None, we hope. Why not be fair and try to appreciate the sermon next time before commenting on its lack of moisture.

Page 2 THE CLOCK TOWER FEBRUARY 9, 1940 • The Cosmopolitan basketball team defeated the Colorado-South Dakota combination 27 to 26 Saturday even- ing in the first game of the double- header played for the Library Cam- paign fund. The business office reports that the proceeds amounted to $8.50. Spectators felt that the two teams played a cleaner, harder game of ball than they had previously. Ray Stewart, of the South Dakota- Colorado team, ran off with scoring honors, making seven field goals from near the center of the court. A new player this year on the Cosmopolitan team was Ervin Sorenson, who played on the freshman team here last year.

Both teams played a good, hard game with little fouling on either side. The leaders in scoring were Gene- vieve Carpenter, captain of the whites, and Percy Saxon, captain of the greens. Referees were Clarence Duf- field and Ruby Oaks. Through the weeks when I've been doing outside reading for history, missions, more history, and just plain enjoyment, I've been mentally prod. ded by some of the ideas that stuck with me. They stimulated a small amount of mental activity, sufficient to make me put them on paper. Call these accompanying meditat- ions mental hash or anything you wish; they are accumulations. In the Merchant of Venice Shake- speare has Portia repeat, "How far that little candle throws its beams. So shines a good deed in a naughty world." And just today I read an illustration of this. When, in a dorm- itory out on the west coast, the lighting system went bad, the students had to use candles. � One candle helped a little, but three or four or five put together gave much better illumination. There's a disease of the eyes, known in common medical termin- ology as "tunnel vision," in which the afflicted person can see only that which is directly in front of him. You see, it would be just like looking out of a tunnel when you're fifty or so feet inside it. Now that's interesting in itself, but the parallels that can be drawn are still more interesting. We think it would be an affliction to have tunnel vision. Perhaps if we could see only the things upon which we set our eyes deliberately we could more closely approach or follow the hazardous trail to the goal we aspire to reach. No glancing aside at the pitfalls or the fallen ones. No backward glance; just the sight, far ahead, of the path on which we've cautiously begun our way. Then just last night when I was reading I found someone's interpreta- tion of the Tower of Babel story. The people were building a tower, in all sincerity attempting to reach up to God. But they never finished it, for when they found what good bricks they were making they changed their plans and built a monumnent to themselves. Editorials have been written and will continue to be written by people who have "burdens" for specific problems. But some of us who have burdens don't know what to do with them. We just fret and chafe as the loads become heavier. We want to write scathing criticisms that will shame people into toeing the lines we have marked down. In our ideal- istic ways we have wanted to write complacent letters to the editors, de- crying the attitudes and actions of groups and individuals. But we don't. We offer no suggestions, we make no efforts to find out the other side of the matters that have reached us indirectly. We make no attempts to— well, that's enough. Diamonds are chunks of coal that stuck to their job. Well, of All Things! From Bard to Verse That "Lark's on the wing" thing Is just some of Browning's clowning. It's needless, of course, for me to remark That actually the wing's on the lark. Joe Beckner received a letter ad- dressed Mr. Joe Beckner President, Union College Lincoln, Nebraska Miss Keith seems to be in dif- ficulty. Anyone who knows whether or not half of a pair of galoshes is called a "golash" probably would be welcomed by her. Once a boy attended Union col- lege and someone sent him for Christ- mas Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain's masterpiece for boys. This boy wrote back and said, "All the fel- lows in the dorm are reading it-mostly by flashlight." About four weeks ago several chem- istry students filled some rubber bal- loons with hydrogen, after putting their names and addresses and the date inside each, and set them affloat. Several days later Marion Carlson received a letter from a girl living in a small town near Springfield, Missouri, saying that Marion's bal- loon had landed there the same night it was set adrift. A clipping from the town paper was included: "Imagine the surprise George Schuler had Monday morning when he saw a strange object entangled in the fence not far from his residence about � miles southeast of Aldrich and found' a red balloon which had been filled with gas and started from the Union College in Lincoln, Nebras- ka, by Marion Carlson, so branded. It made this long trip safely and hap- pened to light at the Schuler home." M. V. Forum . . . (Continued from page 1) in a military camp during the last war, said that the views expressed were too liberal. He feels that a man and woman may be absolutely true and firm in keeping God's law. They may be conscientious non-com- batants if they trust God to guide them in their trials. James Ward, sophomore, added that standards of right and wrong never change. One may feed a person, heal a wounded man, or be an automaton of the state as far as his conscience allows. It is the personal reaction or the lack of it that counts. In pointing out that any Christian soldier would share his emergency rations with a, man, even his enemy, if that man were starving, Elder Yost asked, "When or if you get into war service, can you carry your Christian motives and keep them Christian and not become nationalistic or pseudo- patriotic?" Then he added, "We may make distinctions, but we must not judge others, for we do not know their motives. With this talk of be- ing non-combatants we should rem- ember that it might require more courage to refuse to kill, to be a medical corps soldier, than it r,ould require to fight in the trenches " TYPEWRITERS ...

(Continued from page I) funds, it is no more than should be expected of a people interested in Christian education and the promot- ion of the cause of God," he con- cluded. Projects have been sponsored by teams or state groups' in surprising variety and with remarkable success. Teams and groups of women have sold candy and popcorn and other confections at various times with good results. A waffle supper given by the Minneapolis team was so successful that there have been calls for another supper of the sort. Gate proceeds from several basketball games have been turned into the fund, and plans are under way to present special attract- ions at the other benefit games. A rummage sale will be conducted soon by a group of South hall men, and the women of the school are making plans for a food sale in the near fut- ure. Other projects are being worked out by several larger groups. These plans will be announced as soon as they are completed. Results of the campaign as meas- ured by the percentage of participa- tion received from the college family, as reported by campaign leaders, plainly indicate that the goal can be reached within the allotted time. The students and faculty members are divided into small teams of eight to ten members with a team goal of approximately fifty dollars or an in- dividual goal of five dollars. Cap- tains in charge of the teams distribute stationary for writing letters, collect money and pledges received, and com- pile reports to show the progress of the drive. 1 TYPEWRITERS For Sale or Rent See the Royal Portable with magic margin Nebraska Typewriter Co. 130 No, 12 � Phone 2-2157 Lincoln, Nebr.

The pictures, entitled the "Mystery of Science," illustrat- ed how to economize and to build up life savings and showed how the development of science has improved man's chances for economy. Mr. Allison emphasized the fact that an individual who is careful to start saving when he is still young will not have to be taken care of after he grows old. PI BETA EPSILON At a meeting of Pi Beta Epsilon on January 29, Irma Kicenske played a saxaphone solo, "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice," by Saint-Saens. She was accompanied by Evelyn Dufioth. Eunice Ekstrom gave a reading, "A Very Nice Girl." President Genevieve Bradley an- nounced that the plans for future meetings included talks by a local department store personnel director and a hair stylist, a play to be put on by the club members, and a piano recital. Knights of '72 Entertain In Music Hall Open Night The Knights of 72, in their second social event of the year, entertained their friends in the music hall Satur- day evening. Those present enjoyed the program of music, skits, and the colored movies showed by Mr. Guy Habenicht. Mrs. Nellie Linscott Jensen sang "I Love Life", by Mana Zucca, and Ervin Sorenson and Robert Marsh played a trumpet and trom- bone duet. "Television," a novel feature, revealed the silhouetted like- ne:ses of Hitler and Roosevelt (Charles Lickey and Floyd Byers), and the audience heard their voices over the radio which stood by the screen on which the images appeared. An intelligence testing machine, con- structed and demonstrated by Ed- ward Jensen, utilized a balloon which would inflate and deflate, varying with a suh;ect's degree of intelli- gence and concentration. Interested onlookers reported that -Dr. Jensen" was sadly disappointed in Dean Hab- enicht's performance, and that the machine exploded when tried on Mr. A. D. Holmes. The group enjoyed the portrayal of a ,kit written by Jack Holman, and the colored moving pictures of scenes on the campus, in the industries, and of other local places of interest. Refreshments served consisted of punch, marble ice cream, and cookies.
