> a ut cv VOLUME XXVI UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, JANUARY 19, 1951 NUMBER 6 COLORADO STUDENTS HAVE THEIR STATE DAY AT UNION On Friday, January 12, the Union College students who hail from Colorado—where the beauty of the mountains meets the bounty of the plains—celebrated their state day in the Union College auditorium. Elder N. C. Petersen, president of p the Colorado Conference, gave the major address. Students, who were dressed to represent vocations and avocations of the state, marched onto the plat- form where Palmer Wick, master of ceremonies, introduced those who would take part on the program. The first presentation was an ac- < cordion solo by Doralee Kaufman; Gerry Thompson talked about the high lights of Colorado; and Lovina Tibbets gave a violin solo. Palmer Wick interviewed each participant c on the program and reminded the audience that Colorado had such things as Campion Academy, Den- ver. the School of Nursing, Estes *'- Park, and the two sanitariums at Boulder and Denver. Elder Petersen told the convoca- tion that the work was moving along rapidly in Colorado, that twenty-nine of the thirty-three teachers employed in the state were Unionites, and that nearly half of the conference workers were Un- ionites. He also said that the con- ference had over 5200 Seventh-day Adventists. The program was concluded by , the Colorado students singing the Campion Academy school song. Lincoln Businessman U. C. Band Features Symphonic Music Speaks in Chapel Mr. John E. Curtis, director of f public relations of the Consumers Public Power District, was the guest speaker at the Convocation January 8 and 9. He said, "In this year of world crisis we can find a solution to the problem only by trusting in God." "Most of us thought we could get along without God after the war was over. This was a tragic mistake. We have done everything except learn how to live together. "We are in the second week of y the first year of the second half of the 20th century. We should look back over the past fifty years to see what we have done in order to know better what we should do in the future. During the past fifty years the radio has been developed, the automobile has increased its speed, rockets shoot two hundred > and fifty miles into the air. and we ha<'e the marvel of television. "Will we awaken from our slum- ber and return to God, or will we continue to lapse into the same com- placencv which followed World War II?" FOR DRAFT-AGE MEN The War Service Commission has now prepared a new Information and Instruction Leaflet for Seventh- day Adventist Noncombatant SeJec- '• tive Service Registrants. Copies of this leaflet can be ob- tained from the War Service Com- mission regional representatives in both the union and local confer- ences throughout the country or di- rectly from the War Service Com- mission office at General Confer- ence headquarters.

W. Deming, pastor of the Col- lege View church, in his sermon Sabbath morning, January 13, as he urged ever}' member to help with the ingathering campaign. He reminded his audience about the American armies in Korea be- ing caught without sufficient cloth- ing in subzero weather because someone on the home front had failed. He went on to compare that with the Christian warfare as he read Isaiah 54:2 and said, "Many will hear the third angel's message through the funds supplied through the ingathering program, and there- by we will be lengthening our 'cord s,' and strengthening our stakes." Elder Deming said that many have had their Christian experience greatly strengthened by participat- ing in the ingathering program. In conclusion he expressed his thank- fulness of being in a church that is blessed with members from so many trades and professions, be- cause that makes it easier to con- tact people in all walks of life. Unify Is Communion Service Theme A plea for unity among the Ad- ventist believers was made by Elder Murray W. Deming during the communion service in the Union College auditorium, January 6, in which an estimated 1400 persons were served. Dr. E. M. Cadwallader led the congregation in prayer. Using as his text Amos 3:3 which asks, "Can two walk together, ex- cept they be agreed?" Elder Dem- ing pointed out that "the frreatest evidence that God is with His peo- ple is the unity that exists among them." He stated that "the greatest struggle of the Adventist church is to maintain in itself this unity of purpose." "When we are in full accord with the Lord we will be in accord with one another," said Elder Deming. The college choirs under the di- rection of Mr. Harlyn Abel sang during the service. PARDON US! Several names were omitted from the list of students who should re- ceive recognition for getting "subs" for the CLOCK TOWER in the recent campaign. They include: Sara Quantock. 12; Miss Virginia Shull, 9; Alfred Bernhardt, 7; Clifford Jaqua, 6; Pat Rushhold, 6; Richard Scott, 6; and Donna Rae Bidwell, 5. Editor Addresses College Students During the chapel periods which were devoted to the organization of the Temperance Society, J. A. Buck- waiter, editor of Listen, the national organ of the American Temperance Society, urged the students of Un- ion College to immediate action in the front lines of the temperance battle. In order to demonstrate vividly to the lower division chapel why many drink, Elder Buckwalter had the students raise their hands. "I will count three and tell you to put your hands down, but don't put them down until I tell you to," he CuQUOiicd. Vv neil he cOuincd ihicc, he put his own hand down without comment; needless to say, there were but two or three hands still in the air. "So it is with many who drink. They do it just to be in line with the crowd," he said. The audiences were stirred by the pathetic instances of the degrada- tion wrought by liquor which Elder Buckwalter has observed first hand in his travels about the nation. In one city he visited, he observed several arrests, and not one of the persons arrested was sober. The police officer told him that this was a usual occurence. Elder D. E. Reiner, temperance secretary for the Central Union, gave the details on the contests which the chapter will sponsor this year. The manuscripts for the ora- torical contest are to be handed in by March 3 and auditions will be held the evening of March 17, Elder Reiner announced. Elder Oswald, temperance secre- tary for the Nebraska Conference, gave the students opportunity to sign the temperance pledge and en- roll for the various contests. Dick Takes R.C. Training, Visits Several Academies On a recent trip to St. Louis, Mis- souri, Dr. E. N. Dick met many for- mer Unionites who were attending a training program offered oy the Red Cross Midwestern area office. The course was designed to teach the individuals attending to become instructors to train medical troops. There were about thirty people in attendance from the Midwestern area. Former Unionites were Lauretta Wilcox Jarnes, Peter James, Elmer Robertson, Carleton Blackburn, T. O. Willey, Wendell Graham, Harold Haas, Walter A. Howe, l3oyd Olson, E. E. Hatren, George Thomson, G. R. Fattic. Carl Watts, Paul Whitlow, Orville Iverson, Guy Williamson, and Robert L. Osmun- son. Dr. Dick has inspected the medi- cal corps at Campion and Platte Valley academies recently. Last week he was at Sheyenne River Academy to review the corps there. S.S. Offi cers Elected Reuben Beck was elected super- intendent of the college Sabbath School during the winter elections which were held December 18 and 19 and January 15 and 16. Other officers elected on the single slate ballot include: SABBATH SCHOOL Secretary Thelma Kepler Assoc. Secretary. Joan Peters Chorister..... Jean Wilmot Asst. Chorister Richard Ellis Asst. Pianist. Pat Lounsberry MISSION BAND Leader ... Alfred Bernhardt Asst. Leader Wesley Green Secretary Ruby Birch Chorister Winslow Ellis Pianist Betty Blackburn Osmunson Suggests Five-point Plan To Prevent Gossip Suggesting a five-point plan to prevent church and community gos- sip, Elder Robert L. Osmunson spoke at the Senior Missionary Vol- unteer meeting January 6. First—Use love as counseled in Proverbs 10:12. Second—Put yourself in the other fellow's place. Third—Look for the good in oth- ers. Fourth—Use Christ's exemplary life. Did He blacken others? Fifth—The criticizer and gossiper usually reflects his own personality. Twenty Questions Featured at Convocation Chapel, January 11, was the scene of a panel composed of Dr. E. B. Ogden, Dr. E. N. Dick, W. B. Mohr, and William II. Taylor, with Robert Cleveland as moderator of a program of "Twenty Questions." The program consisted mainly of subjects in the mineral class due to the fact that the subject was along political lines. Some of the minerals were: Formosa, U.S.S. Missouri, White Sands of New Mexico, Sabre Jet plane, the jeep General Walker died in, and General Vaughn's deep freeze. There were also two from the animal kingdom: Prince Charles and Elder W. H. Branson. A special feature was the blind- folding of the members of the panel and the arrival of a "mystery voice" to the platform. After some assist- ance the panel correctly guessed the mystery voices to those of Jim- my Herrington and Mrs. Hartman. BIRTHS Mary and Tate Zytkoskee, '49, announce the arrival of Jacquie Ma- rie, a 7 lb. 7 oz. daughter, on De- cember 29, 1950. Mr. Zytkoskee is now M.V. and educational secretary of the Chesapeake Conference at Baltimore, Maryland. The Union College Concert Band under the direction of Mr. Charles J. Watson gave a versatile concert Saturday night, January 13, in the college auditorium, in which some of the finest symphonic literature was presented. There was music for all music lovers—from so called "long hairs" to the shortest "crew- cut." Of merit was Palestrina's "Ado- ramus Te" with its full, rich chords. The 0\ erture Eroica" based upon Beethoven's third symphony gave the band an excellent opportunity to present great symphonic music to the community. The "Pictures at an Exhibition" was of a highly descrip- tive nature. Meaeham's popular "American Patrol" and Alford's "Colonel Bogey" added patriotic flavor. The audience was pleased with the "Victor Herbert Favorites" and the Spanish dance "Jota" by Granados. The soloist of the evening was Kathleen Dixon who played "Hun- garian Melodies" on her trumpet; she was accompanied by Doralee Kaufman. One of the new ensembles on the campus, the Brass Quartet, com- posed of Clifton Cowles. Ellis Ol- son, Derryl Ogden, and Kathleen Dixon, gave a performance of "Len- to" and the "Pizzicato Polka."

C. Petersen, president of the Colorado Confer- ence, addressed the student body at the vesper service Friday night, January 12. Elder Petersen said that as a boy he thought as so many other young people do, that it is impossible for a Christian to have a good time." "Satan is the instigator of this thought in young people's minds; Jesus says Satan is a liar. Seventh- day Adventist Christians," he said, "should be the happiest people on earth." "Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16: 11. "This fulness of joy can come only through serving God supreme- ly. It is luore important to learn to live than it is to learn how to make money,. and it is better to have nothing to live on and something to live for, than to have plentv to live on and nothing to live for," he said. In closing, Elder Petersen urged each one not to ask God to be on his side, but to make it his business to be sure he is on God's side. 2 CLOCK TOWER, FEBRUARY 16, 1951 outer fc/^^A, mi rHJDS MEMBER ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATE PRESS EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-chief Velma Johnson Assistant Editor - Norman Harvey Associate Editor .Virginia Reynolds Associate Editor —- Edward Macomber Managing Editor - - Marvin Case Social Editor - - Betty Reynolds Asst.

The year 1950 has closed its ledger, but it hasn't concealed the trails left by each of us through our varied associations and contacts of this past year. Doubtlessly, Union had individuals from almost every walk of life converging upon her last September. Does this not challenge each of us to be repre- sentative trail blazers for the New Year already well begun? One of the incorporated aims of Union College is "to install high ideals of Christian attainment that will issue in a life dedicated to the service of mankind." Union College cannot do this alone. Every student and every faculty member must be a trail blazer of exemplary Christian ideals and service to his fellow men. This new year need not be dark and ominous in its impact upon our lives if we get our supplies of light and power from the great Light "which lighteth every man which cometh into the world." May 1951 be a banner year in the trail blazing activities of Union College and its students. —Percy Paul MINISTERIAL SEMINAR Declaring the unchangeableness of God and the influence of His Word in the world, Hemy Turner and Elwood Boyd delivered the speeches for the Ministerial Semi- nar Friday night, January 12. Henry Turner, the first speaker, read the challenge to service in Matthew 28:19, 20, and declared that everyone present had accepted. He went on to say that many who accept the call lose sight of their opportunities and think that God has called and then forsaken. "This," he said, "is as Satan wants it. His purpose is to keep the mind on self instead of on Christ." In concluding his discourse he read Hebrews 13:8 and reminded his audience that God never changes. Elwood Boyd, the second speak- er, began by reading Psalm 119:105 and then stated that the Word of God could be called an atomic bomb. Elwood said, "If the Bible were to be destroyed, the world would be quickly hurled into black de- spair, as black as, if not blacker than, that of the Dark Ages. Not Luther, but his translation of the Bible into the language of the com- mon people, caused the Protestant Reformation." He said that many are weakening the cause of God be- cause they cannot present creation intelligently, and urged the men who would soon be out in evan- gelistic work to think seriously about presenting intelligent dis- courses on creationism. Wearner Is Seminar Speaker "Don't expect to have a lot of responsibilities until you have proved yourself worthv of respon- sibility to yourself and to others." This was the thought expressed by Elder A. J. Wearner as he addressed the Ministerial Seminar Friday nieht. January 5. "The shepherd is responsible for his sheep." said Elder Wearner. "You should watch the sheep en- trusted to you." He concluded bv emphasizing that "the man who bears the truth to sinners stands in a fearfully re- sponsible position. His efforts will either convert sinners or cause them to turn against religion." CAMPUS QUIRKS •k A Hastings College student con- ducted a survey to see if professors actually read all the term papers, notebooks, etc., required in a course. He inserted a paragraph in some collateral notes stating that he didn't believe teachers read what pupils write, and asking the good professor to please underline the paragraph if he read it. The paper returned; the paragraph, un- marked. "Discouraging, isn't it?" adds the Hastings Collegian. Random surveys of college stu- dents seem to be gaining in popu- larity. The State Gollege News re- ports that a survey of eighteen women and twenty-six men pro- duced the following information. Women get an average of eighteen minutes sleep per day more than men. Women spend an average of one hour and twenty-two minutes on body care and grooming as op- posed to an average of fifty-two minutes for men. Men average three minutes more a day at meals than women. Women spend six minutes more in class and twenty-two min- utes less in study than men. •k The Daily Kansan carried a story about an entomology professor who walked into class with a large brown sack under his arm. Before revealing its contents he told puz- zled students, "When a dog bites a man, it's a little unusual, but when a teacher brings apples to his stu- dents—that's news." The girls in the 11:00 a.m. gym class at Phillips University, Enid, Oklahoma, found themselves in real hot water the other day. Eager to try out the water after the installation of the new boiler, the unsuspecting girls dived into the heated water and came up screaming. It seems that the tem- perature had been set at one hun- dred and ten degrees by mistake. By Norma Hille —The Midland By CAROL GRUBBS DEAR MOM, I'm so tired I don't see how 1 oan put one foot in front of the other. I just finished washing, and after running up the steps four times, I just don't feel like studying this evening. I gathered all my belongings to- gether and trotted downstairs to the laundry room, then decided it would be nice if I washed some of my roommate's things. I hurried back up to fourth floor so I could get back before someone started washing in my place. I grabbed a few things, flew out of the room, and ran smack into the dean, who scolded me for running in the hall. I walked down to third floor, looked both ways, and skidded down to the basement. Luckily no one had started wash- ing, so 1 put my anklets in Hylex while the tub was being filled. Lo and behold, I noticed I had for- got my soap so up I ran again, rescued the soap off the shelf, and darted out again (only this time I looked before I went around the corners). By the time I got down to first floor I saw the mail was here. I was so thrilled that I had a letter from you that I forgot about tire water running in the machine until I had read half the letter. Again I dashed to the basement and found water running everywhere. After throw- ing the hose in the rinse tub I began sweeping the excess water down the drain. I had to empty a little water out of the tub before I put the soap in the machine. I nearly forgot I was a lady when I remembered I had forgot my dime to put in the meter. Once more I started on a pilgrim- age to fourth floor, but this time not so hastily. I was beginning to feel as if I didn't care whether I washed or not. I made it up to fourth and down again without mishap. Wear- ily I put the dime in the slot, but it wouldn't work—the machine was broken and my dime was gone. If it hadn't been for the fact that I hadn't washed for two weeks and had nothing to wear, I'd have given up. However, I emptied the water, pushed it aside, then wheeled the other machine in its place and be- gan to fill it. Of course, I would have to go up those beautiful stairs for another dime. Upon returning to the wash- ing I decided to put my dime in before I wasted any more soap. I inserted the dime and — no, it wouldn't work. I was so humiliated I just kicked that old meter with my foot, and much to my surprise it started running and the three dimes rolled out. My luck had changed a little and I was ten cents ahead. In went the soap and the clothes, and every- thing seemed to go lovely for a while. Then just as I was running the last of the clothes through the wringer the time ran out and the motor stopped. As would naturally be the case, I had nothing but our rugs in the machine and I was too weary to wring them out by hand. I feebly inserted another dime and finished the washing. After I hung the clothes to dry I returned to my room, took down the calendar and discovered it is only ten weeks and five days until spring vacation will be here. Your loving daughter, MYRTLE "Do more than talk—say something; Do more than write—write some- thing; Do more than hear—hear some- thing; Talk, write, and hear something worth while." —Percy Patd To a Winter Morning I looked out on a different world this morn; It was a world that was both pure and bright— For, as far as eye could reach this world was white. It was a winter world, but newly born. The variegated hues that it had worn, Discarded, under cover of the night, Were now replaced by sparkling robes of light. Which sparkled with the coming of the dawn. It seemed a sacrilege to mar that scene By trampling that smooth mantle undcr- foot- And yet, when later, in the snow I saw The prints of animals, both sharp and clean Where they their feet so daintily had put, I knew they but enhanced its beauty more. —Garth Till TEACHERS OF TOMORROW Members of the Teachers of To- morrow club visited the Elgin watch factory in Lincoln Wednes- day afternoon, December 13. The training director for the Elgin plant, Mr. K. H. Sturmer, was in charge of the tour. Guides were appointed to con- duct the club members through the factory in three separate groups. These groups were shown the main points of interest throughout the four-story building which covers one half block. Approximately 1400 employees work for the Lincoln division of the Elgin Watch Company, the club members were told. Mr. Sturmer said the factory was one of the largest industries in Nebraska. Be- tween two and three thousand watches are manufactured each day at the Lincoln plant. As the club members were di- rected through the factory, they were shown that most of the base material used in making a watch is brass plated with either copper, nickel, or rodium. When asked if employees suf- fered much eye trouble as a result of working with the tiny pieces of a watch, Mr. Darrel Martin, one of the guides, said eye strain was very uncommon if one's eyes have cor- rect vision or are properly fitted with glasses. According to Mr. Sturmer, most of the employees are women. No one under eighteen years old is hired by the company. '"Yet we have no statistics to prove that older women are more punctual, more de- pendable, or more efficient than younger women." New employees must have from four to eight weeks of training be- fore they are put on regular salary, Mr. Sturmer explained. Each regu- lar employee is paid at least $1.20 an hour. After the tour had been complet- ed, Mr. Kenneth Kaiser, president of the Teachers of Tomorrow club, stated, "There is certainly a lot more to making a watch than I thought. I never expected the fac- tory to be nearly as large as it ac- tually is." 9 NATURAL SCIENCE Three colorful films high lighted the Natural Science Club meeting on Saturday night, January 6, in the college chapel. Under the' direction of Stuart Nelson, president, the club opened its meeting with some help- ful remarks from Ray Hymer, club chaplain. "Realm of the Wild," a color film showing America's wild animals in their native habitats and the natu- ral balance involving the numbers of a species, its foocLsupply, and its enemies was one of the pictures shown. "The Redwing Blackbird," a sound technicolor production, out- lined a season's activities of this colorful bird. "Monarch Butterfly" was the third film shown. President Nelson also announced anticipated activities for the club including a science fair program and another over-night excursion. On January 13 seven members of the club gave a program for the Youth Fellowship, with each mem- ber discussing a certain subject. The speakers and their topics were: Mike Valentine, "Birds"; Francis Chase, "Chemistry"; Thelma Kep- ler, "Cats"; Franklin Riselev. "Phys- ics"; Clayton Whetmore,' "Hamp- sters"; Marion Zummach, "Bees"; and Alden Denman, "Protective Coloration of Insects." The purpose of this program was to acquaint the members of Youth Fellowship with some unknown facts about the natural sciences and present more intelligent views concerning them. w inter Twilight Into the dull and greyish winter sky, The setting sun imparts a ruddy glow. Fluorescent lights blink on as time goes by, And cast a pale cold glimmer on the snow. The moon comes out and adds its silver liRht To th' incandescence of the many lamps, And then the white world settles for the night, And brooding Darkness silently en- camps. -Garth Till SHINING LIGHTS The Nursing Club held its first meeting of the new year on Janu- ary 5 with President Shirley Duren in charge. The members chose Howard Runck to be the representative to the Nebraska State Nurses' Associa- tion which convenes in Omaha on January 14. Blanche Schick, the sec- retary, read the report from the last meeting, and Betty Reynolds read the club's constitution. The following were elected to be officers for second semester: How- ard Runck, president; Elaine Eva- nenko, \ ice-president; Marjorie Naustdal, secretary-treasurer; and Marie Yaeger, assistant secretary- treasurer. The new president spoke of doing higher and better things next se- mester. In her farewell address Shirley Duren thanked Miss Herin, the sponsor, and the club officers for their capable assistance. 9 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS The International Relations Club met on January 5 to elect new offi- cers for the second semester. They are as follows: Namaan Robinson, president; Edward Macomber, vice- president; Gertrude Degering, sec- retary; Naomi Reynolds, assistant secretary; Ernest Phillips, treasurer; John Stockdale O'ffill, publicity manager; and Paul Dickinson, pro- gram chairman. On Saturday night, January 13, a series of three March of Time films were shown in the chapel by the IRC. Included were "The British Empire," "Czechoslovakia," and "Atomic Power." 9 KAPPA THETA "There should be homes for par- ents instead of children," said Mrs. H. G. Reinmuth, superintendent of the Cedars Home for delinquent children, as she spoke to Kappa Theta, Thursday evening, Janu- ary 4. Being a mother to twenty-four children between the ages of four and seventeen keeps Mrs. Reinmuth on her toes. She depends wholly upon the power of God to give the right answer at the right time. She hopes by her example as well as her counsel that she can turn the good side out and destroy the evil ten- dencies seen in the children when they enter Cedars Home. Gedars Home was started by the Nazarene Church and is located in the suburb of College View on the grounds that was the conscientious objectors' camp during the last war. Mrs. Reinmuth has three assistants known as house mothers. "Madame X" for the meeting was Mareta Jensen. COLPORTEUR CLUB With an earnest plea for laborers in the Lord's vineyard, Mrs. Kath- ryn Randolph, who has been assist- ant publishing department secre- tary for the past three years and has recently accepted a call to promote periodical sales in the Central Un- ion, addressed the Union College Colporteur Club, Tuesday night, January 9. To strengthen her plea for others to take up the canvassing work, Mrs. Randolph related several ex- periences in which she has had the opportunity to minister to souls that were looking for light. HOME ECONOMICS The first 1951 meeting of the Home Economics Club was called to order by the president, Carol Ellis. After the secretary's report by Alberta Blum, the girls assembled in the home management room with Beverly Palmer in charge. Pictures of winter scenes, in the form of puzzles, were given to the girls. Prizes for putting the puzzles together with the most speed were given to Grace Robinson and Mary Frances Day. For the highlight of the party inexpensive gifts, brought by each girl, were given out. the girls formed a circle and as music was played the packages were passed around the circle. When the music stopped each girl opened the gift she held and was allowed to keep whatever was in the package. Cake and hot drinks were served for refreshments. 2 CLOCK TOWER, FEBRUARY 16, 1951 Acad-o-gram ACADEMY STUDENTS ENACT SKIT FOR TALENT PROGRAM BEFORE CAPACITY CROWD Merlin Reeder, Jane Woicinski, and Mary Henklemann at the "Florist Shop." An academy talent program was featured before a large audience in the college gymnasium January 6 at 8 p.m. In addition to several musical Florist Shop, was presented. Maude, a humorous yet sympathetic and The New Year What does i? the new year hold for you? For many it has great promises, and yet for others it does not seem so promising. The new year gives each one a chance to start over again, and to make new resolutions. To some it means graduation, others just another year in school, and for the men it means the army. In this year there will be inventions, and many other events of importance. If we want to succeed it will require a lot of hard work, ambition, and study. But with a desire to make this year a better one, it can be just that. —Pam Andrews Academy Notes • Elder Deming's car was the first to report with the full quota listed for the academy scavenger hunt, Thursday night, January 12. • Elder Deming was the January 12 academy chapel speaker. He urged the youth to use their talents fully. • Several social evenings were en- joyed by U.C.A. youth during the holidays. Mr. Maas conducted an evening of games in the gym on December 27.

If you ever see a girl with these character- istics and a smiling face and pleas- ing personality you will know she is Joan Bryant, who is known as Joanie among her friends. She graduated from high school in St. Louis, Missouri, and is now attending Union for the second year. Joanie is taking a secretarial ma- jor and a religion minor with her fax orite subject being shorthand. She claims she likes geometry and English also. Her happiest moments are when she is eating, especially if it's ice cream and pie. Roller skating, ice skating, swimming, and horseback riding are her favorite sports, al- though it seems that she and the horse have a difficult time agreeing on the same rhythm. Joanie also likes photography, but she says collecting poetry and fun- ny stories are her hobbies. O o There's a new girl in North Hall this year who hails from Ontario, California. She almost touches the five feet four mark, has brown, curly hair, blue eyes, and a sweet disposition that brightens the halls of north third. Her name is Mildred Anderson, but she is better known as "Millie." She graduated from Newbury Park Academy last year, where her favorite subjects were typing and bookkeeping. At Union she is major- ing in secretarial training with her favorite subject being shorthand. She can write as much as one hun- dred words a minute, which is good for the first semester. She also likes physical education (especially when they don't have class). Along this same line Millie likes horseback riding and hiking for sports, and is a fair cook, also. Cook- ing is one of her hobbies, along with sewing. Whenever she has a spare moment you can find her cutting out pictures and recipes of deli- cious foods for a scrapbook. o t> SOUTH HALL What? The Civil War again? One might expect such from a Yankee and a Rebel rooming together, but the noise is just the rush for the bread box and the food. The Yankee, Wendell Carpenter, hails from the hills of Pennsylvania. "Wendy," as we know him, came to Union about five years ago. A short while after attending Mt. Vernon Academy, Wendell was in- vited to join the army. Needless to say he accepted. While in the serv- ice three short years he was an X-ray technician. To keep from get- ting stale in X-ray, he has his man- ual handy, although he is a minis- terial major. After graduation Wen- dell plans to enter the ministry or be a dean of men. He gets plenty of practice trying to keep noise down to a dull roar while on desk during evening study period. Wendell might have done well in medicine as he demonstrated this winter in his ability to swab the throats and soothe the aches and pains of the hypochondriacs of South I-Iall. Even in his leisure he is knocking the little white pill around on the golf course. 0 o The Rebel of this combination is Ronnie "What do you have to eat, roommate?" Gotham. Three years ago Ronnie migrated from the'deep South, Shreveport, Louisiana, to spend his first year at Union. The following two years found him in Louisiana again, where he obtained his degree in laboratory technology. Since Ronnie's main object in life is to become a Christian doctor, he came back to Union to finish his pre-med work. He definitely intends to get to Loma Linda one way or another. If he isn't accepted, he'll be there to preet the ones who are. During his leisure moments you usually can find him trying to run clown his bar of soap that he absent- mindedly left in the bathroom. To help him one obliging resident of South Hall painted a sign on his mirror. It read. "Cotham-don't for- get your soap." At the end of the year Ronnie's roommate should pass the final in parasitology and genetics after lis- tening all winter to Ronnie review it in his sleep. New Year's Resolution "I am only one, but I am one; I can't do everything, but I can do something; What I can do I ought to do, And what I ought to do, by God's help, I will do."

The fruits of paganism are not limited to Germany, for the seeds have been sown everywhere." "Valuable chapters on the relation of Catholicism and the Nazi regime, as well os Protestantism and the Jews in their relation to Hitler, ore fully covered " ASK YOUR COLLEGE TEACHER—SEE IT AT YOUR ^/VeCtuiJL Boo£ and Wayne Niedens finished writing a test in American Literature. As he landed the test to Miss Shull, he lointed to one of the questions and asked if he had answered it cor- rectly. Miss Shull looked at it for a moment and then replied, "It may )e. but I can't read it." "Good," answered Wayne. y As Joyce Leonhardt glanced at Carol Grubbs' botany notes she asked, "How do trees reduce?" "Reduce?" exclaimed Carol. "Well," said Joyce, "it says they »ain weight through photosynthe- ,is; how do they reduce?" fc Mr. Taylor, in newswriting class, giving instructions about correct .orm concerning different things iround the campus: "Now, class, don't say boys of North Hall; say men of North Hall." k Did you have success brushing •our hah with your tooth brush, Lovina? Maybe if the lights had )cen on, you could have done a letter job. k Since examination time is just around the corner it seems that eachers are giving notes "fast and urious," but Art Huff has no rouble keeping up with them. He ust waits until they get the black- board filled and then takes a pic- ture of it. Perhaps after exams are over he will donate his pictures to the Golden Cords, k In one of Mr. Taylor's English classes the other day the discussion was on complete sentences. Mr. Tavlor would read the sentences and the students were to answer correct or incorrect. Mr. Taylor read, "Is this the first time you have been in love?" All was quiet for a moment; then Floyd Swanson re- plied, "Correct." ic Betty Germain: "Mav I borrow a nickle? I have to make a phone call." Esther Alvers: "Go down and shake the washing machine and maybe a dime will fall out of the meter." ~k Charlotte Brown wanted one of the women in the dormitory to go to prayer meeting with her last Wednesday night. Upon inquiring, she found, that most of the women had studying to do. She then asked Irene Denny, "What would I look like if I went O" ~r there all by myself?" Irene promptly replied, "Why, ycu'd look like Charlotte." •k During Christmas vacation Doro- thy Hill was overheard to say, "I don't mind watering everyone's plants while they're gone on vaca- tion, and I don't mind feeding their fish, but when they send their cock- roaches over for me to feed, that's going too far." •k Donna Keith certainly is a stu- dious person. One night last week she stayed up so late studying for a Bible Survey class that she over- slept the next morning. In fact, she slept so late that she didn't get up until Bible Survey class was over! Cafi and ^Linij-oim •k Ethel Nakama was positive she knew the way to the dining room at Denver General Hospital via the underground tunnels which lead to all the buildings. The first morning the latest group of affiliating nurses were there, they walked constantly for twenty minutes and nearly missed breakfast, under the guid- ance of Ethel. Finally they met an employer who confirmed their sus- picions—thev were lost. Now that they've found the right tunnel, the trip to breakfast requires five min- utes. Rose Chin recently learned some more English. For the first time in her life she found that Americans do not refer to a cow as "he." She says that in Chinese a person calls them just plain cows. •k Louella Nelson has been the vic- tim of measles for the past few days — which only proves that nurses, too, can become ill. * Last week a group of students took Adeline Germann's mother to the train depot. On the way Adeline expounded on the wonders of her native state, Missouri, which among other things has healthy thorough- bred hoofed animals. On arrival at the station her Texas friends took delight in pointing out that the train her mother was to take was "The Pony Express to St. Louis." ~k Darlena Stanford went to visit Bonnie Barker at National Jewish Sanitarium. Confidently, she walked up to the building she believed was the nurses' home, expecting to meet a tiny, white-haired dean of wom- en. Imagine her surprise when a huge, broad-shouldered man an- swered the doorbell, and explained that she was in the home of the staff doctors. •k Barbara Martin and Marie Dow- ney went with Miss Smith to Cam- pion Academy to put on a publicity program for the School of Nursing. About seventy-five students showed their interest in nursing by staying after the program to join the club which was organized at that time. •k The junior class of Union College School of Nursing recently elected officers. They are as follows: Bar- bara Martin, president; Darlena Stanford, vice-president; Bonnie Barker, secretary; Donna Lewton, treasurer; and Louella Nelson and Marie Downey, reporters. •k Donna Lewton has honestly earned the nickname "Scotch" now. The other day she gave two girls each a dime to buy a hairnet apiece for her. Why? If she would have had one person spend twenty cents she would have had to pay a penny tax. The juniors elec ted Donna class treasurer because they know their money will be in safe hands. Capping exercises for the sopho- more class were held December 10. •k Juanita Waugh heard Marie Downey say, "Oh! I've lost my bearings!" Curious to see how a person in that predicament would act, she walked cautiously into the room—only to find Marie looking at her roller skates, from which the bearings were missing. ~k The sophomore class has elected the following as officers: Jack Northurtt, president; Gene Gilbert, vice-president; Polly Roethel, sec- retary; Bcnnie Brown, treasurer; When in Lincoln Stop at National Health Food Distributors 4725 Prescott WRITE FOR PRICE LIST Lincoln 6, Nebr. j li Dr. Charles W. Crane, whose sv-idicated material is read by mil- lirns of people, says that the very na'ure of alcohol is to anesthet'ze tlv nerve tissues so that the drinker lo~es his sense of good judgment. "Each drink, like each deep breath of ether, clouds human th'nking and temporarily reduces th" active intelligence. "Alcohol produces temporary feeblemindedness even in the most brilliant person.

Well, the Betts Variety Store has solved your problem. By making only one trip to their store you can buy all your everyday needs for anyone from baby to grandfather. The Betts Variety Store received its present name in 1941 when C. A. Betts came to Lincoln from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and acquired the store from N. S. Nelson. Mrs. Betts and daughters, Mavis and Rolleen, operated the store from 1941 to 1946 while Mr. Betts continued his work as auto acces- sory salesman in South Dakota, completing fourteen years in that field. Prior to his salesman job Mr. Betts was farm manager of Plain- view Academy in Redfield, South Dakota, for three years. The Betts Variety Store is located just across from the college campus, which affords a convenient shop- ping place for both the students of Union College and the College View community. Man wrapped up in himself makes a very small parcel. Every tomorrow has two handles —the handle of anxiety or the han- dle of faith.
