VIII COLLEGE VIEW STATION, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, MARCH 1, 1934 NUMBER 1I SPEECH CLASS IN DELINEATION Characterizes Variety of Wo- men, Interpreting by Word, Action, and Dress MRS. HILTS DIRECTS Students of Expression Represent Sectional Peculiarities of Social Behavior Sectional color of the United States was portrayed in the program given by the Speech department Feb- ruary 24 in the college chapel. A meek, simple, pious New Eng- land mother, whose anger and audac- ity under pressure rose to heroic heights, and the doggedly determined father, whose resistance "like a fort- ress went down the instant the right besieging tools were used," were char- acterized in Mary Wilkins Freeman's "The Revolt of Mother, - read by Al- ice Nelson. Lelia Pernelle read Paul Lawrence Dunbar's "When Melindy Sings" and "Higher Culture," by Dorothy Dix. Jewell Chase read "Sun Up," which depicted the unlettered mother of South Carolina who did not under- stand the meaning of government and patriotism well enough to see how the "Law" in the name of justice could take her husband and in the name of war, could take her son. But for all her ignorance, she came to know that one must love, not hate— must love other mother's sons, as well as her own. In a short character sketch by Lou- ise Perry—"The Wednesday Market" —the Interpretative Speech class pre- sented different types of people. Mar- tha Doris MacElvaine took the part of Sara Henry, whose untidy person and unkept stall were forgiven be- cause of her big-heartedness. Mrs. Fern Christensen was the outspoken Isabel Warren, and Geneva Mason, the haughty Mrs. Hanson. Others taking part were Idamae Nelson, Mar- garet Nelson, Helen Cornell, Margie Miller, La Vona Gordon, and Minnie Reinholtz. Clayoma Engel, violinist, and Hel- en Foreman, pianist, played "Sonata in G. Major," by Beethoven, as an Minnesota, the land of ten thous- and lakes, the beauty center of the Northwest, has many loyal students at Union this year. First in alphabetical order comes ELIZABETH ANDERSON, of Eden Prai- rie. She graduated from Maplewood academy in 1931. Aside from being sergeant-at-arms of Kappa Theta this semester she is a history major, a worker in the business office, and is noted for her unique laugh. ISABELLE and JEANNETTE ANDER- SON, of Minneapolis, graduated from Washburn high school in 1932. They joined Union's family this semester and work in the College press. Isa- belle is taking the normal course, and Jeannette plans an English major. Mankato is represented by ELMER CORNWELL. He was a graduate of Maplewood in 1932. Mr. Cornwell is a professional senior this year, grad- uating from the pre-medic course• RUBY GUISFIARD, of Sauk Center graduated from high school in her and Sinclair Lewis' home town. At Un- ion she is taking her second year of the normal course and works in the kitchen. Last summer she sold maga- zines. The capital city, St. Paul, claims EI.MER HAGEN. He graduated from Maplewood in 1930 as president of his class. He has been a successful colporteur. He is a junior this year with Bible and history majors. Mr. Hagen works in the bookbindery and is actively connected with the Gospel Workers' seminar. Class of '34 Organizes With Nethery President Seniors of 1934 organized Wednes- day afternoon and elected officers un- der the chairmanship of President An- dreasen, assisted by Ruby Lea, regis- trar. Wallace Nethery was chosen president, Viola Christensen vice president, Jeanette McKibben sccre- tery, and Floyd Gregcrson, treasurer. Fifteen of the sixteen qualified mem- bers were present. The president, Mr. Nethery, is an accomplished violinist, and public speaker of the college. This year he has been active in writing and re- porting for the school paper and is now one of its associate editors. Once before in his life Mr. Nethery was president of his class. It was back in his junior year at Oak Park academy. Members of the class of 1934. 'who will receive B. A. degrees, are: Wal- lace Nethery, Viola Christensen, Jean- ette McKibben, Floyd Gregerson, Ada Townsend, Miriam Westcott, Evelyn 'Jepson, Olivia Brickman, Beatrice Ross, Lennie Gepford, Della Rice, Melda Ragsdale, Harry Turner, Louis Pettis, William Hanson, and Joseph Nylandcr. 0 NETHERY SPEAKER Relates Story of Converted Convict; Encourages Prison Work ORVAL HANSON Of Middle River, graduated from Maplewood in 1933. At Union he is a theological student. Aside from caring for the cows he hauls the milk from the barn to the dairy room. A junior at Union is MICHAEL HOLM Jr., 'also of St. PAIL His ma- jor is physics and mathematics. Mr. Holm graduated from Central high school, St. Paul, in 1929. Although he is a machinist, he can also make a piano talk. EVELYN JEPSON, of Owatonna is a graduate of Hutchinson Theological Seminary academy. She has taught church school and now works in a home in Lincoln. She is a senior this year with a major in home economics. KIMBER JOHNSON, one of the North's big men, graduated from Maple- wood academy in 1933. Kimber works in the grove a good deal, looks somewhat like "Abe" Lincoln when properly equipped, and is sergeant- at-arms of the Debating club. FLORENCE LONGWELL, of Minneap- olis, graduated from Maplewood in 1925. She taught church school in Minnesota. She is leader of the Sun- shine band, secretary of the German club, second-floor monitor in North hall, and a checker in the cafeteria. This is her second year at Union. ARTHUR MARTINSON, of Wayzata, graduated from Maplewood academy in 1932. He attended the Wazata high school one year. Mr. Martinson is a freshman, likes to tinker with ra- (continued on page three) EDUCATION ONLY AID TO SUCCESS Youth Cannot Justify Failure in Life, Says W. B. Ochs "No young man can attribute his lack of success to the fact that he has no chance in life," declared Pas- tor W. B. Ochs, secretary of the Gen- eral Conference Bureau of Home Mis- sions, in chapel February 21. "Real success begins when we try to fit our- selves into the condition into which we are called, making the best of it and using it as a stepping stone to success. " Pastor Ochs mentioned three ex- cuses often given by those who say they have no chance in life. "To those who complain that they have no mon- ey I would say, If you are not able to save money, the seed of success is not in you. Those who plead the excuse of no education should remem- ber that many university graduates are in penitentiaries. Education in it- self does not spell success. Lack of social standing is a 9oor excuse for failure, for the standards of God are better than any social standing," the speaker declared. As an example of a young man who made good in spite of having no chance in life, Pastor Ochs cited the Bible story of Jephthah. He said, - Son of Gilead and a harlot, Jephthah was thrust out of his home, cheated of a father's love and a mother's care, yet he became a mighty man of valor. The secret of his success lay in two things—'the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah, and Jephthah vowed a vow.' " 0 CULTURE SPECIFIED College Students Express Practical Application of Etiquette "What a man admires in a wo- man" and "What a woman admires in a man" were subjects discussed by Wallace Nethery and Mabel Gosnell in chapel February 14. Mr. Nethery declared that one of the outstanding things men appreciate in a woman is gracious acceptance of small courtesies offered. "Guidance in helping men to observe the conven- tios is also appreciated," he contin- ued. "Men .admire a degree of quiet and reserve in a woman, and that is my valentine to all the bashful girls in the school." The speaker stated al- so that men like to sec in a woman an interest in and respect for literature, art, and music. "A woman should be a leader in the finer things of life, in culture and in conversational ability," he said. "A girl's definition of a gentleman," said Miss Gosnell, "is one who has high ideals, lives them, and is fam- ilar with the little courtesies." She mentioned that women like men who make a pleasing personal appearance, and who are not egotistical or self- centered in their speech. "Honesty in a man is especially admired. The highest compliment a man can pay to a woman is to show that he truly re- spects her," she pointed out. "This is better than any gift he can offer her. A woman appreciates the respect shown to her by the manners of a gentleman when in public; whereas the lack of it often embarrasses her. "Respect to elders, parents, and sis- ters is always a mark of a gentleman, and shows training. Finally I think a real gentleman will have true Chris- tian character." Do's and Don't's in etiquette were read by Lauretta Wilcox and Glenn Fillman respectively. FORMER REGISTRAR HERE Mertie Wheeler, for twenty-two years connected with work in the registrar's office at Union college and for eleven years registrar at Walla Walla college, with her mother, Mrs. J. H. Wheeler, of Marsland, Ne- braska, is visiting Dean Pearl Rees and other friends at Union college. 0 Prayer is like opening a sluice be- tween the great ocean and our little channels, when the great sea gathers itself together and flows in at full tide.—TENNYSON. REFORMS DEPEND ON COLLEGE MEN Prof. H. K. Schilling Cites History of Religious Movements The college trained man is called to- day by God to blaze a new day of reformation even as Wyclif, Huss, Luther, Melanchthon, and Wesley did in their time, stated Prof. H. K. Schil- ling in the vesper service Friday eve- ning. Citing the possibilities of Un- ion college in connection with the famous medieval universities of Prague, Paris, and Oxford, the speak- er revealed that the great reformers were all college men—a type of the men Union college should produce and will produce if the students heed God's call first. "Wyclif was a schoolman and pro- fessor at Oxford; but he was more than a scholastic," Professor Schilling pointed out. "He was a patriot, a pop- ular preacher and the champion of practical religion as well as of theo- logical reform. No man of the mid- dle ages was so independent in his thought or quite so fearless in his ut- terances as John Wyclif, and no churchman in the history of Christen- dom has been as fearless in his at- tacks on the evils of the church and world of his time." Huss of Prague university, the speaker showed, was a mighty God- fearing college man of his day. Quot- ing Schaff, he read: "In John Huss, Bohemia has made its one notable and permanent contribution to the progress of Western culture and religious thought." "It needed but a spark,"! Prof. Schil- ling said, "to set off the mighty ex- plosion of the reformation—and Lu- ther, another college man, was that spark. When Luther tacked his the- ses on the door he little realized that they soon would reverberate around the world; and at this point Philip Melanchthon was chosen of God to keep going the work of the Reforma- tion. "What saved England from the horrors of the French revolution was the great religious reform instigated by the mighty Wesley of the eight- eenth century. "To make an impact with suffi- cient force to produce some shattering effect, God calls college men and women; for in the past great move- ments of reform originated in the cen- ters of learning." In Minnesota are scattered many workers who have received training at Union. Among them are: V. J. Johns, president of the conference, a graduate of 1913; J. C. Christensen, Home Missionary secretary, graduate in 1926; N. R. Nelson, minister of the Scandinavian church of Minneapolis, student from 1907-1909; and L. E. Niermeyer, pastor of the Minneapolis, English church, a graduate of 1930. Nearly half of the Maplewood academy faculty are Union graduates: E. K. VanDevere, history teacher, of the 1927 class; R. W. Fowler, pre- ceptor and mathematices teacher, of the 1929 class; Dorothy Aultfather, graduate of 1932, is the preceptress and public speaking and typewriting teacher; the matron and domestic sci- ence teacher is Sadie Johnson, a grad- uate of 1928. The Minnesota church school teachers who have attended Union are: Mable V. Broderson, teacher at Detroit Lakes, graduate of 1932; Hel- en Zeelau, teacher at Dodge Center, summer school student in 1931; Ber- nice Searle, teacher at Faribault, nor- mal graduate in 1932; Mrs. Mable Peterson, teacher at Hutchinson, sum- mer school student in 1926; Herbert Nelson, teacher in the advanced grades at Minneapolis, received his B. A. in 1931; Margaret Longwell, primary teacher in Minneapolis, sum- mer school student in 1927 and 1931; L. W. Bergeson, teacher at Remer, summer school student in 1925; Ellen Basing his conclusions on present- day world political, financial, and spiritual conditions, Pastor S. T. Sha- de], in a sermon to the College View church Sabbath, declared that "the cup of iniquity is filled up" and Jesus must soon return. Pastor Shade] stated that Japan is massing war materials and troops on the Soviet border in Asia. Further- more, the speaker said, Japan has been flying airplanes over Chinese cities for the last six months, dropping pamphlets to spread propaganda for amalgamation of the yellow race. Military training for men in Italy be- gins when they are five years old, which indicates the present race for armaments due directly to dissatis- faction resulting from post-war settle- ments in Europe, the speaker said. Italy was promised African territory by the Allies for turning against the Triple Alliance, the speaker informed his congregation, but this pledge has never been carried out, and as a re- sult Italy is making preparation for war on the Austrian and French bor- ders. Facts showing that present-day ef- forts to prepare men to meet God are (continued on page two) Swayze, teacher in St. Paul, normal graduate in 1932. The missionaries who have been students at Union and who came from Minnesota are A. J. Olsen, who fin- ished the Literary course in 1915, a missionary to India, now minister at Mt. Vernon, Ohio; Mrs. J. J. Strahic (née Katherine Evans), who finished the Literary course in 1917, mission- ary the the Philippine Islands at Ma- nila with her -husband, who is now minister at Middlesex, England; Ev- erett Everest, missionary to Balboa, student in 1897; Florence Pfeiffer, who finished the Literary course in 1926, now a missionary to Hawaii; Wash, student in 1907 and 1908, missionary in Copenhagen, Denmark; and C. H. Parker, student in 1893, missionary to the New Hebrides. Union college is also linked with Minnesota by members of the faculty who have taught, worked, and lived in that state. President Andreasen was president of Hutchinson Theolog- cal seminary from 1910-'18, and was president of the Minnesota conference from 1924-'31. Dr. A. W. Johnson, executive dean of Union college, was a student at Hutchinson Theological seminary from 1913-'16. He was head of the History department there in 1923-'26, and after being principal at Maplewood academy, Mapleplain, Minnesota, from 1926-'28, he returned to Hutchinson and was principal there from 1928-'32. Doctor Johnson took his Ph. D. from the University (continued on page three) scholastic standards of the school may be maintained and elevated. This, ac- cording to President Andreasen, is one of the most important decisions of the board. Coordination Considered In view of the prospective increased enrolment next year, careful consider- ation was given to the problem of the coordination of the scholastic and in- dustrial •program of the school. It was voted to employ a man to assist Doc- tor Johnson in supervising the grow- ing industries. Plans are now being formulated for the correlation of the student's outline of studies with that of his industrial labor so that his effi- `ciency in neither line will be endan- gered. (Continued on page two) Life's Lesson Topic of President's Discussion "The great lesson of life and relig- ion is to learn how to get along with our fellow men here, in prepara- tion for the life to come," declared President M. L. Andreasen in chapel Monday. "There must be some purpose to this life," President Andreasen stated, "for all Nature tends toward an end. If we think things through carefully and honestly, we can see that there is a supreme God who rules in the af- fairs of man. When we realize that this life is a preparation for a larger, fuller, more complete life, we see a deeper meaning to our daily living." The speaker told of his own youth- ful experience in passing through a stage when he saw only the incon- sistencies of religion, 'and of his first contact with the Seventh-day Advent- ist church, where he felt he found an intelligent, consistent religion. BOARD OF TRUSTEES ARRANGE EXPANSION School to Be Further Enlarged by Added Faculty Members, Curriculum Improvements, and Increased Industrial Program PLAN SCHOLASTIC PROGRESS The story of Harry Orchard, mur- derer of Governor Steunenberg of Ida- ho, was told by Pastor J. J. Nethery, president of the Colorado conference, in chapel February 23. Basing his remarks on Hebrews 10:34, "For ye had compassion of me in my bonds," Pastor Nethery told of the man who killed Governor Steunen- berg by placing a bomb near his resi- dence and who was later sentenced to life imprisonment. "The sorrowing widow of the governor visited the prisoner in an effort to save his soul. In spite of his hardness of heart, she persisted, and finally, won by her kindness and Christianity, he was con- verted. Now, twenty-five years later, this convict is giving lectures in churches telling people how to bene- fit and uplift his fellow criminals," the speaker said. "Seventh-day Adventists should be noted the world over for doing some- thing to help those who are down- interlude. trodden," Pastor Nethery declared. Minnesotans Contribute to Life at : : TWENTY-FOUR REGISTERED THIS SEMESTER : Union with Their Several Abilities BY RUSSELL NELSON INTERPRETS TIMES Pastor Shadel Gives Significance of World Conditions State of Minnesota Opens Field to : : EMPLOYS MINISTERS AND TEACHERS . . Efficient Endeavor of Unionites BY FLORENCE LONGWELL Four new instructors have been invited to join the Union college faculty next year and all of the present college teachers are reelected as a result of the meeting of the Union college board of trustees held February 20, 21. Three of the added teachers are to assist in the Science, Mathematics, and Educa- tion departments. Plans for the new German Theological department were also discussed in consultation with Pastor W. Ochs, of the General Conference Bureau of Home Missions. Pre-nursing, pre-dietetics, and pre-dental courses will form an important part of next year's curriculum, according to officials here. One of the new teachers will assist Professor Jorgensen in biology subjects and will also teach pre-nurs-• ing classes so that a full science cur- riculum will be available for students desiring to specialize in that field. Professor Schilling will have an assistant in mathematics, thus enabling majors and minors in that field to se- cure the additional courses. The phys- ics laboratory will be enlarged, oc- cupying part of the room now used by the museum. The Education department, which has already been strengthened by the coming of Miss Lotta Bell, will be further added to by an assistant in methods courses. Requirements for state certification will be fully met by the department, and majors and min- ors will have ample opportunity to secure their credits. Professor D.•Glenn Hilts, who has been assisting in the English depart- ment, will give his entire time to the library, which is being enlarged by important additions in reference mater- ial, magazine files, and departmental books. The board passed an action invit- ing the Norwegian-Danish department to come to Union college, and it is hoped that they will respond favor- ably. Progress to Be Available Definite plans were formulated by the board whereby it is to be possible for members of the faculty to progress in their respective fields so that the The quartet composed of Pearl Fair- child, Doris Kirstein, Bud Eden, and Harold Schmidt sang at vespers Feb- ruary 16 what is perhaps their most pleasing number this year. The num- ber was "Nobody Knows, - an old negro spirituelle with an excellent ar- rangement by H. T. Burleigh. The arrangement included some difficult harmonies capably sung by the quar- tet which sings over KFOR each Sun- day evening. The Sabbath School orchestra play- ed "The Dream of the Flowers" by Charles Cohen, on February 17. The orchestra played well, but the writer would like to suggest one improve- ment. There are a number of good violins in the orchestra, but they need a good cello. This would greatly im- prove the orchestra, giving it a full, sonorous tone. There seems to be a large gap between the violins and the double-bass that could be easily filled in this way. The "G Major Sonata" for piano and violin by Beethoven was played Saturday night by Helen Foreman, pianist, and Clayoma Engel, violinist. This was Miss Foreman's first ap- pearance as a pianist in the Union college chapel since her graduation from the Music Conservatory course here in 1928. Her excellent perform- mance established her immediately as a musician of technical ability and artistic feling. The first two move- ments were slow and melodious. The last -movement, "Allegro Vivace," was perhaps appreciated by the audience more than the others because it was fast and because it exhibited in a re- markable way the talent of both the pianist and the violinist. An ensemble composed of Esther Maas, Clayoma Engel, Prof. Engel, violinists, and Ruth Johnson, pianist, played the Andante from Haydn's "Surprise Symphony" on Friday eve- ning, February 16. This part of the symphony is rather quiet and slow; but' occasionally, without any warning whatsoever, a big fortissimo chord is brought in, presenting the "surprise element" from which the symphony takes its name. It was interesting to notice the reactions of the audience upon being thus awakened from their meditations. THE GONG BY RODNEY FINNEY JR. Rugged descendants of the vikings who came to Union from the frozen fastnesses of the North have been not a little irked by Nebraska's balmy winter. These hardy Nordics seem to pine when deprived of their usual ration of chilblains. And so it was that early one spring-like morning not long since, as we made a hurried trip across the campus, that an unusual, nay, an incredible, sound smote our ears. Sleigh bells! Could it be? "What's the matter with you, think you're Santa Claus?" we shouted at the Ben Hur in the milk wagon. "Nope," was the laconic answer: "We don't got some snow, so we put 'em on anyway. Giddap, Ned." The feminine contingent, after re- ferring to the "dutch" among their own number, point out that there were a few lads of evident Caledon- ian tendencie s who went to the Riley program alone also. A week at school is like a deep dive. We take as long breath Sunday morn- ing and come up, gasping for breath, Friday evening. It falls to our lot to work directly under those cubicles called practice rooms. Judging from the sounds, a piano really expresses a variety of emotions. Sometimes it is a classical selection of length which goes on in- terminably. Again the player stalks with a martial tread and the piano seems to rock from side to side with the descriptive strains of "Danny Deever." At still other times the mu- sician seems filled with romance, and fragments of love songs float, throb- bing, on the air. Clippings from test answers! Question: What is the Daily News morgue? - It is a column in a paiper in which the deaths of famous men are record- ed. "It is the newspaper's death." "The daily papers that spread abroad the mews of baseball plays, boxing matches, etc." "Daily write-ups that public he- roes receive in the newspapers." Question: Who is Judge Lan- dis? "I've heard of him." Another paper: "I like to .go to church because it is a relapse from the usual routine." We can always tell when Friday comes. That's the day all the girls have their hair molded. Since February 24 we shall always be a little cynical about California winters in Nebraska. The greatest Teacher who ever lived revolutionized men's thought, founded a new world religion, and left this earth without having written a word of instruction to His followers. His only writing was in sand. Truly, by our lives we can change things. Meditations BY R. JACK CHRISTY Public Etiquette Lesson No. 4362: It isn't good form (and its hard on the chairs) to fall into our chapel seats before the "amen" of the pray- er is finished. Reminiscences of a village buried in a shroud of snow. . . Seven o'- clock in the morning, and the villagers are astir . . . Commercial avenue (misnamed) is getting ready for the activities of another season of light. . . . Great flakes of white descend- ing slowly from the heavens with the vague suggestion of a blessing on the coming day, or perhaps a benediction to the night. . . . The distinctness of things, the clear-cut sounds . . . the bantering talk of men, the plunk- plunk of coal in a skuttle, the scrap- ing of a shovel on the sidewalk, the hoarse bark of a dog who has slept out all night in the snow, the crack of a whip over the back of old Dobbin as the grocery boy turns from Com- mercial into Fourth, the throaty yells of an adolescent boy from somewhere south of the tracks who yells be- cause he's a boy and he's happy (he'd burst if he didn't), smoke puff-puffing from chimneys. . . . Further down Commercial just this side of Second, where there is a little crook in the street as it crosses meandering Black creek, stands a little church, its spire thrust upward like a rapier extended high in salute . . . a salute to heaven, a challenge to sin! . . . A moment's reverent pause as our senses greedily absorb the scene ... the earth is good, the earth is good! . . . Beauty that hurts like the slow incision of a knife. . . . And then the first impression be- gins to fade . . . we turn reluctantly indoors and bury in memory another vision, another dream. As we enter the fifth year of a world-wide depression, many who heretofore have been inclined to scoff at the doctrine of the second coming of Christ, are beginning to speak a different language. They are begin- ning to enquire after .the meaning of those things that are coming upon the earth. Nowhere will one find words which more accurately describe a particular series of events than do the words of Jesus recorded in Luke 21: 25, 26, spoken in answer to the question of His disciples as to what should be the sign of His coming and the end of the world. How can men remain indifferent to the coming of the Lord when they see these words fulfilled before their very eyes. There is upon the earth dis- tress of nations, there is perplexity, men's hearts are failing them for fear, and it is because of the things they see coming upon the earth. Fear . . . perplexity . . . distress . . fear. And underneath it all there comes to the attentive inner ear of the student of prophecy a great brooding sound like the distant roaring of the sea. . . . It is the sound of the approach- ing storm, the gathering of those forces of evil and destruction which are so soon to hurl themselves upon the earth! God has raised up a mighty move- ment, a great people—not a body of pessimists and calamity-howlers, but men and women of intelligence and piety, a people with a passion to know the will of the Lord—and He has sent them forth to tell the multitudes of the world about the coming of the blessed Christ, and to warn them of the im- mediate doom. Are we happy that God has given us the privilege of walking with this people? Shadel Interprets Times (Continued from page one) ineffective were given by the speak- er.

Sharps and Flats BY VICTOR CLARK NEBRASKA'S CAPITOL with its four-hundred-foot tower of fourteen stories of State offices, is viewed by Union's students from the third and fourth floors of campus buildings. Critics of architecture consider it one of of Ameri- ca's finest contributions to that art. Bertam Grosvenor Goodhue, architect, together with Lee Laurie, sculptor, and Hartley Burr Alex- ander, philosopher, fashioned the structure and gave to it symbolic significance in history, mythology, and philosophy. Critics also claim that the governor's reception room in the capitol is the most beau- tiful room in the world.

Stev- enson advised all men to live dangerously, and that advice should be taken by those who wish to live fully. The person who is lukewarm toward living misses the point in life; he that permits himself to become blase denies himself many common enjoyments. Moses said, "It is not in heaven, that thou shouldst say, Who shall go up to heaven and bring it unto us." It is here on earth that we are to obtain earthly blessings. Imagine the sorrow one would feel to grow old and not be able to look back upon a few great experiences. And this has its application right here in college. The stu- dent who makes himself vital in the life of the school is the one who is willing to live. He courts opportunities for service, and in so doing he finds himself in step with the rythm of college life and part of it. "The reward of work is more work." R. F. FRIENDSHIPS DESTINE LIVES Who knows but that we touch shoulders with kings and queens? In the seat beside you may be the eminent theologian of tomorrow. In the next room may live a future great piano virtu- oso. The man who works beside you shoveling walks might be the prominent political leader of the next decade. Perhaps your roommate is a scientific genius, an embryo author. Your daily companion may be an Esther or a Paul. "Not that any one can notice!" you say. But why not notice? Study your associates, watch them, and in your mind you build a great future for each of them. Then treat them as you would the ideal you have placed for them. One need not have altogether the world of realization. The bud of the rose is treated no less real because it is only a bud. In all this friendship-forming do not neglect to cultivate the companionship of those men and women in college who are thoroughly important—your instructors. You have a privilege that few possess of daily working with, listening to, and sitting before distinguished scholars, scientists, speakers, musicians, teachers, and theologians. But these are not eminent only in learning. Far more signifi- cant than this, they possess high character. Observe their gen- erosity, their kindness, their humbleness, and their tolerance. Mark too their sincere interest in each of you. They are Chris- tians. Christianity makes a superior contribution to their kind- ness and understanding. In developing the characters which God has entrusted to stu- dents, why should they not lay hold on the cultivation of worthy friendship as a means of keeping awake the possibilities that lie within them? Choose the blustering, ballyhooing, swaggering, boastful type of friend, and he'll leave you chilled as though a sudden violent wind had passed through you and dragged you for a time in its wake. Select the slick, smooth-tongued, overly-attentive, soft-handed, flattering individual with the practised technique of a parlor. chameleon, and at his departure you'll remain as washed out as a cat that has ben soaked in the rain. There is also the pouty lass and the sneering girl, the spine- less lad and the self-possessed boy. Give them a passing notice, to be sure; working side by side with such types is a part of the program of development. Treat them kindly when you are with them; but don't waste your time or your affections on them. You have more important business. Friendly attachments formed with those whose interests are flowing along similar or reciprocal channels during college days are those which move on through one's life, some becoming deep under-currents which give power, strength, and sympathy to the character, others spreading like great rivers that make the banks of the soul verdant with nature's beauty. j.

Morning bells, noon bells, afternoon bells, evening bells, night bells. Rising bells, wor- ship bells, breakfast bells, class bells, dinner bells, supper bells, study bells. So lives the student at Union college, from one bell to another—a veritable bell-hop. Ushered into wakefulness by the long, loud clanging of the rising bell, the Union student commences the day's activity—rather the daze com- mences. For half an hour the eye- lids . are heavy, the muscles sluggish, the spirit drowsy. Some students risk a cold shower; some even believe they enjoy it. The sound of the second bell, com- monly known as the rising bell, rends the morning air. This bell is for the dozers—the ones who like to rub their feet under the sheets, and bemoan the fact that another day has dawned. The two worship bells are less harsh than those that herald a new- born day. The first bell creates lit- tle concern in the student's mind. The second brings about a great rush, the pell-mell scurry for the worship room. Finally comes the first bell of any consequence to the student, the break- fast bell. It is this bell that actually starts the student's day. The inner gnawings of hunger are quickly sat- isfied with a few bites of food, hasti- ly swallowed. Now the day can be faced with optimism; the spirit is un- daunted by the vagaries of education. The class bells, routine of the day's procedure, merely announce the neces- sity of changing classes. Of course, the student appreciates the bells that announce favorite classes, but he ab- hors the bells of disliked classes. The dinner and supper bells carry with them social diversion as well as the appeasing of the internal craving All Makes TYPEWRITERS Sale or Rent General Typewriter Ex.

THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE THREE Editor Observes Comrades While Making Journey BY VIOLA CHRISTENSEN It was eleven o'clock at night. I was comfortably settled in my chair and almost asleep when the clear, loud tones, - I'm from Iowa, Iowa—That's where the tall corn grows, - suddenly awakened me from my pleasant slumbers. The Iowans later calming down, I endeavored to go to sleep but my peace was soon disturbed by !Wow-boo-hoo!" then ••Sh! Be quiet! Mama spank!" Seeing that it would be impossible to get any rest, I decided to observe my traveling companions cluing the night. In front of me was the talk- ative chap from the medical school. He questioned his neighbors concern- ing their occupations, destinations, etc. He took frequent naps and then asked others how they were progres- sing with their sleep. In spite of all the noise and con- fusion, an elderly lady slept soundly all night. She had told me much of her family history, including the story of her son's death. - Sioux City! Sioux City! Wake up, mister!" There was a hustle and, with bags in hand, some of my friends left me, but new ones arrived to occu- py the vacant seats. "Yes, my rheumatism bothers me considerably, and I have kidney trou- ble." "My heart is rather weak, too." Thus two dear sisters discussed their aches and pains for several hours. Then there was the traveling man who enjoyed to converse with the la- dy across the aisle. In a little while he found the chair beside her more suitable than his own. "May I sit beside you, please?" questioned a lady with a baby as she entered the coach. The lady said her baby had been suffering from convul- sions, that her husband was a cook, and that she lived in Montana. The doctor had helped "baby," and she was so happy. As I left my pilgrims, I wondered how Chaucer would have character- ized them had they been among his travelers on the way to Canterbury.

Barber Approves Preoccupied Men BY ALFRED VERCIO And here's another tale of an ab- sent-minded professor. D. D. Rees walked into a barber shop and asked for a haircut. While the barber clipped the gray hair, the professor became deeply engrossed in some serious thought. "Shampoo?" asked the barber. The professor nodded. The head was washed, the hair dried, and still the professor saw and heard nothing. "Tonic?" asked the barber. Again the professor nodded. The tonic was put on, and the head vigorously massaged. A hot steam towel was placed upon the head, and this was followed by some more tonic and more vigorous massaging. The work was finally done, and the pro- fessor came back to reality. "How much?" "One twenty-five," 'answered the barber. A queer expression came over the professor's face. He was puzzled, for instead of thirty-five cents the bill was $1.25. The customer paid the amount and went out wonderingly. The next day he returned. - Say, what did you do to me that cost me that much?" he asked the barber. "I gave you a haircut, shampoo, end tonic," answered the barber. "Did you ask me if I wanted them?" "I sure did." "Well, the joke's on me. I was thinking of something else." Good- naturedly the professor smiled and went out. State Opens Field (Continued from page one) of Minnesota last year. In addition to three summers at the university soon after he left Hutchinson in 1916, he spent the years 1930-'31 taking work there. Pastor Yost, instructor in theology at Union college, was Home Missionary secretary in Minne- sota in 1924-'26, and Missionary Vol- unteer secretary from 1926-'29, be- ing ordained in 1927. He was vari- ously connected with Maplewood academy from 1928-'32 as assistant principal,' preceptor, and Bible teach- er. Prof. and Mrs. Stanley Leding- ton spent nine years (1919-1928) at Hutchinson, where Professor Leding- ton taught piano and other music subjects and where his wife taught voice. While they were there, Mrs. Ledington was soloist of the Metho- dist and Congregational churches of the city and Mr. Ledington was or- ganist. He also taught harmony in the Minneapodlis School of Music. Miss Lotta Bell, head of the Educa- tion department here, taught educa- tion at Hutchinson Theological semi- nary in 1926-'27. Professor G. C. Jorgensen, of the chemistry and bio- logy department at Union, taught at Hutchinson Theological seminary from 1917-'25. Former Soloist Occupies Lab BY BEATRICE ROSS Have you ever visited the zoolo- gy laboratory and just looked around? It's really a very interesting place— that is, if you don't mind looking at embalmed cats and any number of other things very necessary to a well- equipped laboratory. There you can see the seventeen- year locust lying, apparently very comfortable, in an alcohol bath. This particular kind of locust is rather fa- mous for her singing ability. You've probably been charmed by her sweet voice many times during the summer months. And her singing is no ama- teurish performance, either. Before she even attempts to sing in public, she spends seventeen years in prepar- ation. Then, having sung one season, she considers her work done, or per- haps she feels that her art isn't ap- preciated. At any rate, she dies. Are you interested in horse-hair snakes? The laboratory is in posses- sion of one very beautiful specimen. Perhaps the laboratory assistant could tell you exactly what kind of horse hair and water are necessary to pro- duce a snake like that one. National Speaker Gives Reasons for Temperance That alcoholic liquors are harmful in direct proportion to the amount consumed was the theme discussed February 19 at a joint worship in the North hall assembly room by Miss Bertha Palmer, former Superinten- dent of Education in North Dakota and now special lecturer for the W. C. T. U. "A little drink does a little harm, a lot of drink does a lot of harm, and" the speaker added, "no drink does no harm." When a little liquor is taken it af- fects man's judgment and makes him as an animal; a little more liquor lowers his rank still more so that con- tinued indulgence leads to his becom- ing inorganic, or dead, matter, stated Miss Palmer. Liquor affects the fac- ulties of man in the inverse order of their development, she pointed out, using blackboard drawings to illus- trate the truth of her statements. for food. It is during these periods that the ebb of Union's student life is at its highest. With no particu- lar hurry the student is able to relax. Settling down for meditation, the student finds relief in the sound of the evening worship bell. A few minutes after worship the buzzing of voices subsides as the study bell smothers the few remaining enthusiastic sparks from the embers of the day's hubbub. No more bells for the day. Soon the flicker of lights cautiously announces that the day is done. The climax of this bell system, however, came one night when fire chief So-and-So pushed the button starting the clanging clapper that per- turbed the slumbers of the students of South hall at the unearthly hour us- ually set aside for milk men. Shiv- ering, teeth chattering, some clad in pajamas—some not, the men stood awaiting what unknown casualty might 'befall them. Happily, though not in fun, it was only a fire drill. There was no danger. Trooping off to bed to snatch a few hours of sleep, the men felt relieved of the suspense of knowing that such an event was due, but uncertain of the •time and amount of torture involved. Just 'an- other of the many bells at Union. 0 The most perfect freedom is indis- pensable to the attainment of the highest virtue.—STRONG. Laymen Hold Meetings in Roca Hall Each Week Discussing the state of the dead, Charles McWilliams spoke at the evangelistic meeting in Roca February 15. Special music was provided by a male quartet and by Floyd Buxton, violinist, who played Kriesler's "Old Refrain" to Mike Holm's piano ac- companiment. Mrs. Buxton of Col- lege View conducted a story-hour for the children. This meeting was part of an evan- gelistic effort being sponsored in Ro- ca by two laymen of the College View church, Avalo Owen and Charles Mc- Williams. Meetings are held Thurs- day and Friday evenings in an up- stairs hall provided by the community. A song service, a story-hour for the children, a question box, and plenty of special music are combined with the sermon to make the meetings at- tractive. A regular feature is the male quartet composed of Union college students: Rollin Mallernee, Louis Pet- tis, Robert Wagner, and Carlton Blackburn. Pastor S. T. Shade] of the Central Union spoke at the meeting February 22 on world conditions, showing that the coming of Jesus is the only solu- tion to current problems. Special mu- sic was supplied by a mixed quartet: Esther Nelson, Rosa Nixon, Carlton Blackburn, and Louis Pettis.

Pastor Piper Explains Denomination Principle Why Seventh-day Adventists can not join a larger 'religious organiza- tion was discussed by Pastor J. F. Piper, president of the Central Union conference, in chapel February 19. The Adventist denomination is a small body of people, but God's chosen people are always few in number, he explained. Although some of the brightest lights in the church may go out, sin- cere Christians must hold true to God, the speaker said. As men like Wil- liam Miller with great faith have led sincere Christians step by step out of worldly churches, Adventists must lead others to see the light that they hold, declared Pastor Piper. "We should be able to give a rea- son for the hope that is within us," affirmed the speaker, "for the path of the just is as a shining light." 0 Unser Deutscher Verein ist jetzt neugestaltet Die Mitglicder versammeln sich, urn „Neandertal" im Bild zu schen VON LOUIS PETTIS Der Deutsche Verein von Union College wurde auf neue Statuten hin neuorganisiert, als sich die Mit- glieder Mittwoch nachmittag in Zim- mer 100 versammelten.

Seit .mehreren Jahren hat Union Col- lege einen Deutschen Verein, dessen Versammlungen meistens alle vierzehn Tage stattfanden. In vergangenen Jahren jedoch befolgte der Verein keinen festgelegten Plan. Dieses Jahr beschlossen einige Studenten, in Be- ratung mit dem Deutschlehrer, den Verein etwas formcller und genauer zu organisieren. Mit dieser Absicht kamen einige Studenten des zweiten Jahrgangs und die Beamten, die in der ersten Versammlung gewahlt wurden, mit dem Lehrer zusammen und stellten die Satzungen auf, die dem Verein vorgelegt wurden. Dem jetzigen Plan nach besteht die Mitgliedschaft des Vereins aus Stu- denten, die sich bereits Kenntnisseeder deutschen Sprache erworben haben. Diese Gruppe versammelt sich alle vierzehn Tage, urn sich mit dem deut- schen Leben und der deutschen Sprache vertraut zu machen. In ge- wissen Abstanden werden Versamm- lungen abgehalten, zu denen alle, die. sich dafiir interessieren, eingeladen sind.

In the after- noon they visited the offices of the Lincoln Star. MOCK BROADCAST FEATURES STORY-HOUR A story-hour in the form of a radio broadcast was given in Missionary Volunteer meeting February 17 by Band B. Mr. and Mrs. B. D. Fickess and their children, Shirley and Buddy, were found listening to the kiddies' favorite program of stories. An instrumental quartet opened the broadcast period. Helen Cornell told the story, "When Martha Crossed the Delaware." "Uncle Buford," in the per- son of Buford Turner, dedicated his story, "The Devil's Tools," to little Shirley. Deo Root, performing the part of "Grandpa Root," told of "The Perfect Tribute." The college male 'quartet sang the closing 'hymn. Glenn Fillman was the announcer. DIETITIAN SPEAKS Eating is America's favorite indoor sport, said Miriam Westcott to the Health club February 13. The fact that one should determine his diet by regulating the quality and quantity of food rather than by depending upon appetite, was emphasized by the speaker. The discovery of the structure of the body was told by Arline Mc- Taggart at the Health club February 20. Minds alive to every word of God give constant opportunity for his in- terference with suggestions that may alter the course of their lives.

REVIEW METHODS Society's Institutional Activities Por- trayed at Church Sample programs to show how the Sunshine band conducts its activities at the poor farm, Catholic orphanage, and its distribution of literature were presented in the church Sabbath after- noon by the leaders of the respective groups. Esther Nelson, director of the poor- farm activity, told of the grateful at- titude taken by the inmates of that place. In a representative program Harry Christensen gave a short dis- cussion on the basis of true religion, Floyd Buxton played two violin solos, and Jeanette McKibben sang. The activity at the Catholic or- phanage was reported by Norma Carr. Stories of nature and of experience are told, she said. Avalo Owen, speaker for the liter- ature dopartment, said that definite results can be seen from the distribu- tion of literature as carried on by the young people. Pastor T. B. Westbrook sketched the progress made by the denomina- tion in literature work. He told of the efforts of the late James White, who labored in the harvest fields to get enough money to print and mail tracts. As a result of this effort the church has publishing houses scattered all over the world, he said. Practical "Christianity in relation to the home and society 'was presented by the Village Misionary Volunteer society at the church February 17. That it is natural for man to follow the course of least resistance is shown by the attempts of professed Chris- tians to be saint-like in a crowd and to be rogues at home, declared Cur- tiss Banger. He said that a well-be- haved person at home will be well- behaved in a crowd. "Honesty in everything should be practiced by followers of Christ," stated Kenneth Parker. Sylvesta Davies urged every young man and woman to learn to do such practical things as nursing, teaching, and cooking. Prof. T. R. Larimore gave a short study on the inspiration of the Bible, and declared that to the Seventh-day Adventist it is the - unerring guide." College Sabbath School Indicates Improvement Four Classes Report Perfect Records and Daily Study Increase Daily lesson study is improving each week, reported the unknown voice in opening Sabbath school Sabbath. Last week there were four perfect classes and several worthy of, honorable men- tion. If the attendance and offerings should increase in proportion to the daily lesson increase the Union Col- lege Sabbath school would soon be one of merit, according to the report. Professor Engel's orchestra played a number before the mission reading, which was given by Fern Wood. Alex Reisig conducted the review. Off icers believe that the reviews have helped a good deal in impressing the points of the difficult lessons of this quar- ter. The unknown voice began Sabbath school February 17. William Hanson read the scripture and offered prayer. In place of the regular mission exer- cise Mrs. Fern Chrisensen read "Mar- cus Pleads for Mercia," in which Marcus was won to Christ by Mer- cia's faithfulness. A mixed quartet, composed of Seth Mohr, Dorothy Hutchison, Virginia Mallernee, and Bob Wagner, sang. A. K. Phillips conducted the review in which he compared the Spirits invis- ible power to the strength of com- pressed air, the force being invisible though its results are manifest.

LIVES T 0 TESTIFY Deeds Represent True Pattern of Christian Character That the Christian should let his light shine before men that they may see his good works and be led to Christ was the basis of the subject presented by Russell Dybdahl Febru- ary 16 at the Gospel Workers' semi- nar. The speaker declared that studying the Bible gives the sincere reader the light of the gospel of salvation and this light is demonstrated by the fruits of the Spirit. Mr. Dybdahl stated that a Chris- tian cannot look upon man as a pat- tern, because the only true pattern is Christ. He said that a Christian must keep his eyes on Christ if he ex- pects to succeed. The good works, according to Mr. Dybdahl, constitute a life that is faultless, and this life canot be lived without a connection with Christ. The speaker urged his hearers to ac- cept Christ, and realize the meaning of the words spoken by him when he said, "Let your light so shine before men that they may sec your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven." To live according to the require- ments of the ten comandments means to live a life of love, for love is the foundation of the decalogue, declared Carlton Blackburn in an address at the Gospel Workers' seminar Friday eve- ning. Mr. Blackburn stated that the commandments given by God contain all the duties of man to God and to his neighbors. The golden rule and other like rules given by Christ are included In the last six commandments, the speak- hr said. "All these rules are based up- on the same love that prompted Christ to die on the cross for you and me," he declare:/, "and unless we live as Christ did and unless we manifest the same love towards our fellow men, we cannot reach the goal of eternal life." According to Mr. Blackburn, the commandments are sign-boards that point the sinner to Christ. He said the decalogue does not,save a sinner but points out sin and leads him to Christ.
