CLOCK TOWER The College of the Golden Cords VoL. XII COLLEGE VIEW STATION, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, MAY 6, 1938 No. 18 • Funds Drive Reinvigorated Financier Barkley Aids in Campaign H. C. Hartman Announces Goal Should Be Reached by Middle of June, Building Finished in August Union college officials announced a renewal of the drive to obtain funds for the new library last week. W. E. Barkley, prominent banker and financier who has done much to build up Lincoln, is lending valuable assistance, stated H. C. Hartman, business manager of Union college, in an interview yester- day. Mr. Barkley and Mr. Hartman are soliciting together every afternoon, and good progress is being made. The campaign should be over by the middle of June, the busines manager said, and the building should be completed by August 15. The vigorous growth of Union college is the reason for requesting Lincoln's assistance. The 23,000 volumes of the present library are now scattered over three floors of the administration building and other campus buildings in space sorely needed for class rooms to care for the 100 or more additional students expected to arrive this fall. The original cost of the library as planned was $60,000, half of which was to be raised by the city of Lincoln. To date Lincoln and environs have raised approximately $12,000. To put the library into a state of occupancy this amount should be doubled. CT Women Hear Talk by Louise Pound Louise M. Pound, professor of English language at the University of Nebraska, spoke at the evening worship hour in North hall Sunday. Miss Pound traced the history of co- education from its beginning in Oberlin, Ohio, in 1837, to the admitting of women to state universities in the 1850's, and up to 1938. The speaker stated that she firmly be- lieves a restriction should not be placed on the number of students admitted to college. She also believes that a college education makes life more interesting and makes one who has a college education more resourceful. "Women have not retarded the schol- arship of their brothers; they have not handicapped classes by their unsteady attendance as it was feared at the be- ginning of co-education," she said. "The women have proved they can be good citizens in an undergraduate community." CT Senior Recognition Day Held in U.C.A. Senior recognition day for the Union college academy was held April 27. The following seniors are expected to be graduated in June: Margie Miller, Howard Jose, La Verne Caviness, Don- ald Howell, Elnora Turner, Phyllis Pin- genot, and Ida Hanson. Candidates at the close of the summer will be Lowell Barger, Louise Leeper, and Elsie Thomas. Mr. A. D. Holmes is the class sponsor. CT CHILDREN'S CHOIRS SING The primary, intermediate, and junior choirs of the college demonstration school gave a sacred program during the eleven o'clock hour in the College View church Sabbath. The groups were trained and directed by Esther Kunau, junior, who is a teacher in the demonstration school. Orchestra To Give Last Lyceum Number The Little Philharmonic orches- tra, with George H. Shapiro as conductor, will present tomorrow night at 8:15 o'clock the fifth and last number in the 1937-38 lyceum course of Union college. The organization is a fourteen piece group, its members having gained fame both in America and in Europe. U. of N. Glee Club Presents Concert Fourth Lyceum Program Given by Var- sity Men under Direction of Temple As the fourth lyceum course program at Union college the university of Ne- braska Men's Glee club, directed by William G. Temple, presented a concert in the college chapel the evening of April 23. The program featured a trumpet solo- ist, the Varsity male quartet, and bari- tone and tenor soloists, in addition to the groups of songs sung by the glee club as a whole. The forty-eight members of the glee club were attired in uniforms with Eton jackets and black sashes. The program included classical music, negro spirituals, and familiar songs which appeal to a college audience. Selections sung by the glee club in- cluded - By the Sea," Schubert; "The Cossack," Koshetz; "Wanderer's Song." Schumann; "Brothers, Sing On," Grieg; "Little David Play on Yo' Harp," I Lewis; "Chicken in de Bread Tray," Enders; "Wade in de Water," Enders; "We're Called Gondolieri." Sullivan; "Musical Trust," Clokey; "The Sleigh," Kountz; "Lift Thine Eyes," Logan. The conductor, Mr. Temple. has stud- ied in Europe and has had wide ex- perience in directing ensembles. At the present he is the director of music in a Lincoln church besides being connected with the university. CT S.D.A. Publications Files To Be Filled The General conference committee old Seventh-day Adventist publications has advanced a plan whereby all Sev- enth-day Adventist college libraries on the North American continent may have ready access to complete volumes of all old denominational publications, accord- ing to recent announcement here by Paul Whitlow, acting librarian. Each college library is to send to the chairman of the General conference committee, Arthur L. White, a list of old issues it lacks and a list of any dup- licates it might have, said Mr. Whitlow. The committee will then endeavor to fill the want lists from the duplicate lists, thereby making it possible for each li- brary to have a more nearly complete collection of old church papers, he ex- plained. The Union college library sent in its want lists last week, he reported. CT QUARTET MAKES TOUR The college male quartet, accompanied by H. C. Hartman and Director Estelle Kiehnhoff, gave programs at Kansas City, St. Louis, Goldsburg, Missouri, and Macon, Missouri, over the week end. While in Kansas City they broad- cast from the radio station there. This week end they are giving pro- grams at Topeka, Wichita, and Enter- prise, Kansas. Band Judged Best in Amateur Contest The annual amateur hour, under the auspices of Sigma Iota Kappa, was pre- sented in the chapel here Tuesday night, with Paul F. Whitlow as announcer. First prize was awarded to a band made up of Orason Brinker, trumpet; Russell Brown, drums; Roy Sorensen, trombone; LeVerne Melendy, clarinet; Lloyd Osborne, saxophone; and Paul Turner, tuba. Fred Johnston, who caricatured prom- inent profiles seen daily on the campus, tied for first prize. The cartoonist sketched Vernon Dunn, Robert Wright, Norman Rogers, Roy Sorensen, President Andreasen, Fred Sofsky, and Dean Habe- nicht. Other numbers on the program were as follows: a trombone solo by Kenneth Evenson; two vocal numbers by James Corriell; a vocal-instrumental trio com- posed of Alva Longfellow, LeVerne Me- lendy, and Sherrill Rasmussen; and a vocal duet by Elden Burkett and Willis Hackett. The committee of judges consisted of Arthur Mazart, Imo Burbach, Wava Holm, Nellie Linscott, and Rosetta And- erson. CT Frosh Entertain at Annual Banquet Program of Speech and Music Given by Students to Honor Faculty Guests Jensen, Nursing Head, Guest Here Kathryn Jensen, associate secretary for the nurses' division of the denominational medical department, was guest speaker to the members of the Pre-Nursing club Monday. Miss Jensen outlined the qualities of a good nurse, the most important of Which was sincere Christianity. She spoke also of the dress reform movement of the late '90's and told about the life of Dr. Kate Lindsay, who was con- nected with the beginnings of nursing work at Battle Creek sanitarium. Miss Jensen addressed the students in chapel Monday morning, emphasizing the importance of spiritual living and a desire to spread the gospel in con- nection with the medical and nursing professions.

Schilling Precipitation Prevents Picnic BY BLANCHE BLACK For once the Union college family is disappointed because school goes on just the same. There's nothing unusual about school's being in session during the month of May, but Wednesday, May 4, had a particular significance, since that was the day set aside for the annual school picnic. Jupiter Plurius decreed, however, that the picnic should not take place on May 4. It's true the Nebraska farmers have been on a diet of dust for the past few years, and doubtless they welcomed the showers which persisted Wednesday. Re- gardless, the Union college family feels that enough moisture could have fallen on the other 364 days of the year so that the school picnic could have been held on the appointed day. Occasionally one has opportunity to chat with former Union college students. One of the College View merchants told the following story about the picnic in 1930. "Back in 1930, when I was going to school, the date for the school picnic had been set for three different times, but it rained each day. The announcement was made then that the school picnic would be held on the first clear day. What we thought was a clear day final- ly arrived, and five busloads of happy (Continued on CT page 2) Rosenlof Talks on Educational Trends Dr. G. W. Rosenlof, professor of secondary education at University of Ne- braska, spoke on "Recent Trends of Education in America" in chapel April 29. Among the trends he considered im- portant the following were outstanding: the tremendous growth in enrolment, the breaking down of old preparatory re- lationships of the secondary school to the college, the organization of junior high schools and junior colleges, increasing use of library facilities, and the upward trend in faculty consideration for the spiritual welfare of students even in state supported institutions. "We arc becoming surer of our re- sponsibility toward the spiritual needs of our students," he said, citing the in- creased attendance in Lincoln churches. He declared that the government of the city is being carried on by spiritual men. CT POETRY CONTEST TO END The poetry contest which has been conducted by Clarabel Babcock in the column "Stray Verse" closes with this issue of the CLOCK TowEiz. The poems will be posted next week, and a popular vote of the student body and faculty will be taken to determine the identity of Union's "Poet Laureate." All poems which have appeared with- out the author's names are considered en- tries in the contest. Physics Head Talks in East Dr. Schilling Speaks on Wave Properties He Gives Lecture to Eastern and Middle- western Scientific Groups and Honor Societies ' Invited to give his lecture "On the Properties of Waves" to numerous col- leges, universities, and scientific organiza- tions in the East and Middlewest, Dr. H. K. Schilling, head of the physics de- partment here, made two trips recently. Under the auspices of Sigma Pi Sigma. national honor society in the field of physics. he gave his lecture at Berea college, Berea, Kentucky. where he also gave a chapel talk; the University of Kentucky; Ohio State university, and Pennsylvania State college. Dr. Schilling also gave his lecture at Haverford college, Haverford, Pennsyl- vania, and at the Pennsylvania Con- ference of Teachers of College Physics, which met at Scranton. Pennsylvania. on the campus of St. Thomas college. He was speaker for the Philadelphia Physics club, which met at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. This organiza- tion consists of physicists of various institutions and industries in and around Philadelphia. A similar organization. the Chicago Physics club, invited Dr. Schilling to give his lecture at their meeting April 21 in the auditorum of the Lighting institute. CT Margie Miller To Edit U.C.A. Book Margie Miller has been elected editor in chief of the U.C.A. Lookout, academy year book sponsored by Mrs. G. D. Hagstotz's class in secondary methods. Charlotte Anderson is circulation mana- ger. Students of the secondary methods class have formed an advisory staff for the annual. Officers are: Floyd Byers, editor; Claribel Babcock, assistant editor; Orville Iversen, business manger: and Blanche Black, faculty advisor. The annual is to be a twenty-four page book containing individual pictures of the academy faculty and seniors, and group pictures of juniors, sophomores, and fresh- men. A number of articles by academy students will be featured. The purpose of the project is to give secondary methods students experience in sponsoring and publishing an annual and to furnish a medium of expression for the academy students. CT Special Missionary Program Presented A missionary program was featured in the Sabbath school last Sabbath. Special numbers were as follows: "Unentered Mission Fields," a talk by Albert An- derson; a talk by LeVerne Melendy on Sarawak, the field to which the Thir- teenth Sabbath offering goes this quar- ter; a special song, "My Earnest Plea. by Elsie Ziprick; and a clarinet solo by Richard Wakeham. CT HICKOK EDITS REAPER A. Dean Hickok has accepted the position of editor pro tem. of the Central Union Reaper, official organ of the Cen- tral Union conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Mr. Hickok is linotype operator at the Union college press, and was formerly engaged in newspaper work in Kentucky. The freshman class held its first an- nual banquet in the college dining hall the evening of April 24. Guests of hon- or were President and Mrs. Andreasen, Miss Linnie Keith, Professor J. N. An- derson, and Dr. and Mrs. E. N. Dick. Toasts were proposed to the guests of honor, and Dr. E. N. Dick, freshman class sponsor, gave some reminiscences of his period of service with the United States marines during the World war. Celia Johnson spoke of certain qualities of outstanding freshmen, and Genevieve Nethery gave a humorous reading. Music during the entertainment in- cluded selections by a women's trio con- sisting of Phyllis Montanye, Arlene Cor- nell, and Erna Olsen; a male quartet composed of Sherrill Rasmussen, Garnet Brotzmann, Imo Burbach, and Stanley Kannenberg; Alva Longfellow on his accordion; Darrell Holtz on the piano; and a saxophone quartet consisting of on Elenita Anderson, Dorothy Grant, Ro- bert Schmunk, and Lloyd Pruett. The plan of decoration presented a deep sea effect in green and pink.

PINGENOT 0 Thou who dwellest in Eternity, Wilt Thou forever hide Thy face from me? I long to know the fulness of Thy grace, I long to catch a vision of Thy face. (If I but knew Thy dwelling place, I'd quickly come to Thee For cleansing from the accursed sin That drags me down.) My soul has gone in search of Thee Beyond the bounds of time and space, And it returned to tell me of Thy works, But naught of Thee. I thought I heard Thee pass me in the night,— I hurried on, alas, to lose Thee In a wilderness of logic. And then again, I seemed to see a dis- tant glow That held the promise of a purging fire; But lo, 'Twas but the burning of my own desire Thrown back against the curtain of the night. They tell me that Thou wilt be found By searching in the midst of pots and pans, Of flowing flood and burning flesh Of goats and rams;— Dost Thou demand my death? I seek not death, but life,—escape from death! Today I drew quite near Thee, (I am sure) But paused to counsel with a friend Who bade me turn another way; But named it not! Although the way he knew He said 'twas not for him to tell me; I must seek the Way alone! I turned to seek again, And, turning, fell. 0 Thou who dwellest in Eternity, Look down into the pit From which I cry to Thee— Men hide Thy face from me— Reveal Thyself that I may look and live! I sought Thee in the heart of a friend, But found Thee not! As though in answer to my prayer, My friend looked down. I saw the quick tears start, And, lo, Reflected in his tears, Thy face! I saw the Man Christ stand, And caught a vision of the man God meant that I should be. Then from the depths beside me in the pit I heard despairing groans, and recognized A brother sunken deeply in the mire. 0 miracle of miracles!— ! felt the quick tears start Deep in "the depth of some divine de- spair." And welling to my eyes, Flow down my cheeks in tender love and sympathy. Forgetting self, I ministered his needs. Lord, lead me to the flood of life in Thee, To know the fullness of the Trinity,— That I may reverence life. Then with the silken cords of love Bind me securely in the chrysalis That shuts all light from Thee; And in the anguish of my soul, I'll burst the bands that hold me fast And merge to full maturity in Thee! Thy face I found reflected In a sympathetic tear; Thy dwelling place, my heart. CT RECREATION Sophs Capture Victory from Frosh A A By Einar Haugen The Sophomore baseball team walloped the Freshman team 15 to 5 the afternoon of April 22 on the college diamond. Ray Stewart, Ed Seitz, and Bill Hill were the pitchers for the Sophomores. Stewart received credit for striking out 8 men of the 15 men to face him in the 3 innings he pitched. Seitz stuck out 9 of the 15 men to face him in 4 innings. Sorensen and Stewart each hit 2 home runs for the Sophomores, Hill hitting 1 home run. Elmer Rowen and James Carter were the hurlers for the Freshmen nine. Rowen struck out 4 and Carter struck out 5. Both pitchers hurled 4 innings apiece. Haugen, a junior who was catching behind the bat for the Freshmen, broke a finger on his right hand in the sixth inning.

CT Picnic . . . (Continued from pa ge 1) picnickers went to Epworth park. When we arrived there, we found the place was inadequate for our group, so we went to Pioneer park. "The games were played, the eats were consumed, and everyone was having an enjoyable time, when suddenly the rain began to fall. It fell so fast that it must have shrunk the crowd, for the Union college family crowded into three buses and returned to the campus." There's nothing like a school picnic, and the Union college family is counting on the experienced Nebraska wind to blow those rain clouds away for at least twelve hours.

Much fuss is made about so-called "art for art's sake." Art to snooty people is a distant sphere of aestheticism which they never genuinely compre- hend, but which they must pretend to appreciate in order to maintain their imaginary dignity. Such people are the ones who can listen to semi-classical music with an inward rapture, but on the surface say: "Cleverly done, but is it art?" Genuine art is the individual soul's expression of beauty. What is art to one is blasphemy to another, for standards of appreciation differ. But adherents to variant standards are sincere, each in his inward responses to whatever is beautiful to him. And speaking of things that stir the heart, who could have been so devoid of a sense of values after listening to the children's choirs in church last Sab- bath, as to say sanctimoniously: "Very sweet, in- deed, but was it art?" * * If one were told that he had just four weeks to live, he would think of all the things he had always wanted to do and all the things he ought to do. There are four more weeks until the close of school—four more weeks to live in the present environment with the same people. In reality, four weeks from now will be the end of life—the end of a certain phase of life. Not only for those who are seniors, but also for all who have been here the past year this is true. Even if one is planning to be here again next year the situation will be much different then. No two school years are identical. Four weeks aren't nearly long enough for reading the books one has been saving all year, for becoming acquainted with the faculty, for showing class loyalty by attending class functions, for playing tennis or learning to roller-skate, for visiting places of interest in Lincoln, or above all, for improving one's spiritual life and gaining a closer acquaintance with God. * * A young German, newly-arrived in America, had much difficulty in understanding what Americans meant by certain expressions—especially slang phras- es. He was mystified, for when a young man said to his sweetheart, "I'm nuts about you," he meant he was deeply in love with her. But when she an- swered, "Aw, you're nuts, - she meant he was crazy. And the young immigrant found in the dictionary that nut was a kind of fruit that grew on trees. Though perhaps that is extreme, we ought all to be careful of our diction. Slang is not offensively noticable among Union college •students, however. Possibly one of our worst faults is the use of the same worn-out superlatives to describe everything. Loose usage of such words as wonderful, marvelous, and grand robs these words of much of their flavor and usability. A few minutes a day at the dictionary or thesaurus would do wonders in aiding us to build up lucid, pertinent vocabularies; and as a result or- dinary conversation would be more stimulating and less boring. Human beings seem to be imitators by nature. Small boys want to wear overalls just like Dad's, and little girls wear Mother's slippers and make mud pies. The adolescent must eat a certain brand of cereal because it is the choice of his favorite baseball star. The high school girl attempts to assume the poise of her college sister. All our lives we have been copying the mannerisms and actions of others. Each great man we read about has some trait of character we admire, so we try to reproduce it in our own lives. (In that fact lies some of the value of reading biography.) However, imitation is not always uplifting. It is often the root of detrimental rationalization through the unwise duplication of questionable people's acts. On the other hand, there is one whose deeds and thoughts everybody can profitably emulate: We can adopt the character of the Nazarene with perfect safety, and although His life is the most difficult of all to duplicate, the world would be a heaven on earth if every person followed Him. * * Did you ever stop to think that working toward something is infinitely more enjoyable than finally attaining it? It is true that there is a great deal of satisfaction in a task completed, in a goal reached, especially when it is a step on the way to something better. But more genuine happiness comes from the output of actual physical and mental energy-- energy that goes out of your life to help make your accomplishments real and, in going out, puts some- thing more precious back into life. "To travel hope- fully is a better thing than to arrive." To strive is better than to succeed. No one is so certain to begin the skid down hill as the man who is satisfied with his accomplish- ments and settles down to rest on the laurels earned in former days. Such a man is old in spirit, for he considers his life's best work behind him. The spirit of eternal youth lies in progress, in continuity of effort. Such continuity may mean a great strug- gle with the innate inertia of complacent mankind, but the joy of keeping on is worth a struggle. The joy in ideals lies in seeking to reach them rather than in reaching them, too. As a matter of fact, when an ideal is reached it ceases to be an ideal. "Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the sea- fearing man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you reach your destiny." kk LETTERS Dear Editor: Gross negligence is committed by many college students in not looking after themselves physically. I am writing this to plead the case for the physical well-being of the college student. A student often get so engrossed in his studies that he forgets to care for his body. Does he not realize that summer is about upon him? Summer is the time when a person should be in an A-1 condition, since it is the time when most stu- dents put forth all their powers to earn enough mon- ey to come back to school the next fall. Then too, one must be "in the pink" during the summer be- cause it is the season when play demands much of one's energies. The only way I can see for an individual to be "in the pink" for the summer is to get in condition now! Now is the time to build up the body so that it will take the onslaught of summer activities. Does one always want to have that "worn-out feeling," tc be the first one to drop out in a "hot" game of tennis? I know of no other one exercise that will better get one's whole body in condition than swimming. It not only strengthens every muscle of the body but also builds up one's "wind." Now that the weather is getting too warm to play basketball and other indoor sports, yes, and even baseball—I would advise a nice cool swim to get the college student in condition. You know, the earth was not made three fourths water and one fourth land for nothing. Swimmingly, RAMON CRONK. * * The following is taken from a letter written by a Union col- lege student to the elder of a Seventh-day Adventist church in a small Middlewestern town which the author of the letter calls "home." Life here at college is interesting probably because one always has far more to do than he can handle efficiently. In spite of the fact that I am busy all the time, I believe that Union college is the best place for me and for other Adventist young people such as I am. Of course, there are opportunities to grow careless in religious matters here as elsewhere, but at the same time opportunities to become acquainted with the broad field of religious philosophy and to become thoroughly grounded in our own denomina- tinal doctrines and truths are everywhere apparent and significant. As the lower classman becomes adjusted to life and ways of thinking in college, after a year or two of sometimes painful orientation on its campus and in its classrooms, he begins to formulate in his own experience a sound and sane philosophy of Christian living, and by the time his college days are over he is ready to go out into the church and the community with a contribution, both material and spiritual, im- possible to overestimate. To turn out men and women who are thus able to take their places in their communities either as fol- lowers or as leaders in the spread of the gospel of Christianity, has long been the objective of Union college and is an objective which is still today being realized.

Open Sundays A' MAY 6, 1938 THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE 3 4, If all the Union college farm and dairy workers were seated side by side at six a. in. they could consume what, in the raw, had amounted to twenty gal- lons of pancakes, according to farm manager J. Eugene Stout. And, when the facts are examined, that's not so astounding, for latest available statistics indicate that there are twenty-five work- ers in Mr. Stout's domain. Most of you are acquainted with the dairy sales room, a thoroughly up-to-date structure that was erected about three years ago. And it's an interesting place, especially around six p. m. when all the village and city folk who recognize real- ly good dairy products come to buy their daily quota of milk, butter, eggs, and cheese. Sometimes there is such a crowd that the salesgirls have difficulty in waiting on everyone. But they say it adds zest to their work. "Do you like to work for Mr. Stout?" we asked one young lady from North Dakota. "Do I?" she responded. "I wouldn't work for anyone else on the campus!" That sounded so good that we, for no reason at all, thought she might an- swer another question. "What does the T in Mr. Stout's name stand for?" we asked. She didn't know, but thought it might be "Jolly." We thought so too, but dispensed with further ques- tioning in her direction. Turning to Mr. Stout, we asked: "By the way, Mr. Stout, some little time ago we heard that your German police dog at the farm had made you the proud owner of thirteen puppies. Now just when did that happen?" "Why." beamed Mr. Stout, "she just presented us with ten more last Friday." Rather dazedly we continued to listen. It developed that, as the puppies had been born blind, Herbert Liu, a city boy, thought drowning would be the most humane course of action. Stanley Kan- nenberg rescued them just in time. But then, of course you couldn't ex- pect Herbert to know much about dogs; his business is chickens—six hundred lay- ing hens. He sees that they are fed, wa- tered, and mashed every day—particular- ly in the winter, he says. This was a bit startling, but, knowing nothing of poul- try ourselves, we trusted his good judg- ment to see him through. "You should see our prize herd of eighty-seven pure-bred Guernseys," said Mr. Stout. "Our best cow last year gave sixteen thousand pounds of milk." Not so bad for quantity, thought we. But how about the quality? "Our milk tests 5 per cent butterfat, continued the dairy manager. "That is 1.5 per cent above Lincoln's require- ment. When it comes to purity and cleanliness, our milk is practically the best you can buy. It has a bacteria count of five thousand or under—grade A milk may have a bacteria count of fifty thousand, while grade AA may have one of twenty-five thousand."

Being conserva- tive, however, they stick to a mere AA. "Those cows must get good feed," we remarked. "Where does it come from?" "Well, we are farming about 200 acres of land," said Mr. Stout. "On it we raise corn, wheat, oats, and alfalfa. Part of it is pasture land. "The cows deserve good feed. They give a hundred eighty gallons of milk a day." "Do you sell all that?" we gasped. "In one way or another," he returned. "We sell it as milk, cream, cottage cheese, cocomalt. ice cream, or butter- milk. We do all our business right in this salesroom—cash and carry. But the fact that we don't deliver never leaves us with extra merchandise on our hands." "It's just as Emerson said," we mused, after saying good-day. "If a man make a better milkshake than his neighbor, the world will beat a path to his door. And that must be true of ice cream and cot- tage cheese, too!" K ILEY'S URRENT OMMENTS Wisconsin's Governor Philip LaFo - lette acts like his famous father. His voice has the same impetuous ring. His friends say he'll be president some day, and his recent call for a meeting of mid- western liberals in Madison started third-party talk. An unbalanced budget doesn't alarm him. He believes, with many others, that the Roosevelt recov- ery program is mere "tinkering." He states that he stands for vast public works programs and higher income taxes. Such a program, he says, would in- crease wealth, distribute it better, and avoid the demoralizing effect of giving people something for nothing. Meanwhile our own Governor Cochran of Nebras- ka, a personal friend of the Wisconsin executive, says that he knows nothing of proposed plans for the formation of the National Progressives of America, Inc. After Henry Ford's much discussed visit to the White House last week, the newspaper correspondents could obtain no statements whatever from either Mr. Ford or the President. Suffice it to say that it is quite certain that Mr. Ford gave Mr. Roosevelt no advice as to how to deal with the present business reces- sion. Now if you know Mr. Specht, you probably always think of him as the gentlemen who goes around with the binomial look in his face. It is true that Mr. Specht knows practically every- thing about higher—and lower—math- ematics, teaches it fluently, and keeps a book of especially difficult calculus problems with which to threaten Einar Haugen when he doesn't pay proper attention in class; but have you ever met Mr. Specht in the home? Just ordi- narily he is a good host, but in an emergency he rises to heights that Lord Chesterfield would never have dreamed of. Take, for instance, the evening of April 27, when a group of Union college faculty members and alumni were go- ing to have a picnic. Let us advise you—never, never plan a picnic for April 27. It's certain to rain. At any rate, it did. Seven-ninths of the picnickers had already gathered at Pioneer park when the rain began to fall. At the very cordial, earnest, and hospitable solicita- tion of Mr. Specht, seven-ninths of the picknickers adjourned to his home with seven-ninths of the picnic food. The other two-ninths, consisting of cake and ice cream, were on the way. The ice cream was in a freezer on the left running-board of an unnamed picnicker's car and, according to all the rules and citations of Oz Black, should have stayed there. But it didn't, as the unnamed picnicker discovered when he reached the entrance to the park, and he turned back at once to search for the departed dessert. Driving slowly along the left side of the street, the unnamed picnicker hoped that the newly organized state highway pat- rol was asleep or out of town, and, driv- According to the latest census of the American Institute of Public Opinion, F. D. R. still has the majority of the country behind him, but he is suffering a sharp drop in popularity. It is estim- ated that the shift since 1936 represents approximately three and one-half million votes for the Republican party. Students of world affairs were quite interested when the Anglo-French de- fensive alliance went into effect recent- ly. And the other day the principles of the alliance were put into effect for the first time. An English freighter loaded with oranges was the target of several badly-aimed bombs from rebel aircraft. Immediately when the attack began, the unfortunate ship sent out a general SOS which was responded to by the French destroyer Ourogon. Although none of the missiles hit their mark, the French ship escorted the fruit ship for the rest of the journey. ing swiftly past the insane asylum, he hoped no watchful keeper would appear. Fortunately none did, but neither did the ice cream. So the unnamed picknicker drove back to the park, through slippery, slippery mud. No picknickers. Mutter- ing sundry blessings on the weather. two-ninths of the picnickers went back to town, saw seven cars in front of the Specht home, and went in with their tale of woe. Professor Frank Yost greeted them with cynical shouts of: "Doctor, examine the contents of these men's stomachs." Dr. Wilfred Emery and print shop manager Ernest Pender started off with a car and two teaspoons to find the ice- cream. Host Specht, rising gracefully to the occasion, took Herbert Nelson by the hand and went to Mr. Stout's emporium for more. The tardy picnickers were fed, pamper- ed, and wait- ed on, no end. Quoth Elder Pinge- not: - The moral is ob- vious. Next time, we'll be late also." Entertain- ment was furnished by bookbindery superintend- ent Elmer Hagen: Someone ought to write this up for the Clock Tower." Host Specht proved his sleuthing abil- ities by finding worried Mrs. Yost's miss- ing teaspoon—in Elder Yost's pocket. "Merely a case of mathematical possibil- ities," said Mr. Specht, modestly disclaim- ing any credit for this remarkable deed. Mr. Specht is like that—modest and mild-mannered and mathematical-minded. But don't hold this last against him. Go around and visit him. You'll find out what a delightful host he can be.

The group left the gymnasium on a truck. Games were played at the park for almost two hours. Then the guests rode to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Marsh, where refreshments of ice cream, cocoa, cookies, and apples were served. CT Group Studies Birds Members of the Master Comrade class went to Pioneer park Sunday morning on a field tour to study birds. It is reported that they found twenty-three different kinds.

After a plate supper, the president of the association, Dr. Wilton Halvorsen, made the open- remarks. The secretary-treasurer's re- port was read and approved. One hundred seventy-five voices sang songs led by Professor Lee R. Marsh, vice-president. A letter from President M. L. An- dreasen, of Union college, stated that Union alumni need not be ashamed of their alma mater, as Union is accredited. The library is under construction and will be ready for the opening of school, the letter stated; the building is a well- constructed up-to-date one, the total cost being $60,000. Union college is forging ahead, President Andreasen wrote, ex- tending greetings to the Alumni on be- half of the faculty of Union. The guests stood quietly for a few moments with bowed heads, a tribute of silence in honor of Professor Otto M. John, Professor Gordon Andrews, and Carl Moyers, deceased, after which Dr. William G. Wirth led in prayer. Elder J. J. Strahle of the General conference, an alumnus of Union, spoke a few words. He has traveled all over the world and has met many Unionites who are proclaiming the gospel to the millions in darkness. Willa Ruble sang two solos. The chairman of the nominating com- mittee, A. R.
