9 SCHOOL DAYS LEFT BEFORE VACATION! tit cr VOL. XX � UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN 6, NEBRASKA, DECEMBER 8, 1944 � NO. 5 DRAWS INQUISITIVE CROWDS on an inspection tour of 100 spotlessly clean and attractively decorated rooms on the evening of December 3. Annual Open House ; "Old illars-y Earth" By Kei Ozaki and Elmer Herr The first act of the big show in Eu- rope is over. It was a breath-taking, spine-tingling act lasting from the Nor- mandy beachheads through the explo- sion of Allied forces across France and ending in an interlude of stalemate on the Franco-German border. The curtain is going up on Act II with seven Allied armies moving in to upset the German dig-in-for-the-winter plans. And with Allies poised and aimed at Germany's industrial centers, the war in Europe is said to be only 50 miles from victory. The fanatical Nazis, fighting for every inch of this vital supply area, the Ruhr and Saar Basins, are throwing in counter-attack on desperate counter- attack from their precious punzer re- serves. Strip Germany of this essential I region, and the main source of her power to wage war is gone. Let us compare the present military situation of Germany to that of 1918. As in 1918, Germany is faced with lack of military reserves at a time when fresh American forces are spearheading the Allied offensive. She has lost all her allies and satellites except Japan, Which is unable to offer direct assistance. Fearing that the Allied drive might at � any moment result in a 'break-through, will the German Foreign Office ap- proach the Allies concerning the possi- bilities of an armistice? Will the Allied governments, who have now the help of Russia and who have been hardened by the experience of two wars with Ger- many, be satisfied with another armis- tice—or are they determined to obtain unconditional surrender of Germany on its own soil? War Bond Goal Doubled With the purchase of over $20,000 in War Bonds the Adventist community of College View has far exceeded its goal in the 6th War Loan Drive, states "Mar- ine Captain" E. M. Hause, professor of history. Whereas the college goal, determined by alloting $75 to each employee, was approximately $3,750, a total was pur- chased by the college amounting to $10,- 093. The purchase was made by the college business office through the local Union Bank. In addition to the college purchases, the Central Union Conference and the Christian Record subscribed for bonds to the extent of $5,000 and $5,281 re- spectively.

Orchestra Guest Artist, Play Picture on Page 2 Mrs. M. V. Campbell appeared as guest artist with the first College Orches- tra program of the year. The audience was visibly stirred by Mrs. Campbell's exceptional skill shown in her treatment of the first movement of "Concerto in A 'Minor," Grieg, while ac- companied by the orchestra. She was presented at the close of the number with two lovely bouquets while the auditor- ium rang with applause. The orchestra followed with "Inter- mezzo" by Bizet. Then Mrs. Campbell returned to play three solos: "Minuet" from "Symphonie in E Flat," Mozart, "Variations in F Minor," Haydn, and "Fantaisie Impromptu," Chopin. The orchestra concluded the concert with "March Slave," Tschaikowsky. The College Orchestra, which gave what has been termed the best orchestra program in many years, is conducted by. Mr. C. C. Engel. College Board Convenes The Union College Board convened at the college for a short two-day ses- sion December 5 and 6. As Union Col- lege serves the three mid-western union conferences, representatives from these fields are members of the board and .1.1. as follows: N. C. Wilson, president of the Central Union and chairman of the board; M. V. Campbell, president of the Northern Union and vice president of the board; J. W. Turner, president of the South- western Union and vice-president of the board; E. E. Cossentine, president of Union College, secretary; H. C. Hart- man, business manager of Union Col- lege, treasurer. The following local conference pre- sidents are also members: R. R. Bietz, Texico; J. L. .McConoughey, Oklahoma; F. D. Wells, Arkansas; C.

Marsh Publishes Book Evolution, Creation, and Science is the title of Dr. Frank L. Marsh's second book, recently published by the Review and Herald Publishing Association. It has been chosen by the Ministerial Associa- tion as one of the volumes in the 1945 Reading Course. Dr. F. L. Marsh As its title suggests, this book is a dis- cussion of the theories of evolution and special creation in the light of modern scientific facts in the field of biology. This analysis of the theories of origins shows that of special creation to be the only one in harmony with the changes that have actually been produced by. pro- cesses of variation in animals and plants since• the flood. Evolution, Creation, and Science, in its exposition of special creation, meets a real need today. Much has been said and written in the last one hundred years by creationists in anathematizing evolution and evolutionists, but they have failed to set before the scientific world A posi- tive and convincing statement of their theory in the light of actual facts. Dr. Marsh's book draws the lines of the theory of creation clearly, and shows how very logical and entirely satisfac- tory it is when viewed in all its fulness in the light of natural facts. Typical of reports returned by out- standing students of evolution throughout the country is the statement of Dr. Continued on Page 4) T H E w E E K The tourist groups formed in the game room and lobby, and every few minutes left for a formal inspection of the 100 rooms of North Hall and East Hall. Every "nook and cranny" is home to one or more of the 190 girls who overflow the home this year. Across each door was red, white, and blue ribbon (differing in style as to the originality of the owners) which formed a barrier between the curious guests and the prized possessions of the young ladies. In one room exclamation was made over the unique bunk-beds. In the next the aroma of incense floated lazily. Delicious red apples were temptingly just beyond reach in another. Almost every room boasted a toy dog standing guard inside the door. Many rag dolls were glistening in their "best bib and tucker." North Hall can well be proud of its neat residence rooms, its beautiful par- lors, and its modern lobby. Those who had ridden up as far as possible and then toured down finally met the others who, after mounting afoot to the fifth floor, had an exciting descent in the North Hall "Cable Car."

The program carried the audience back to the year 1917 when the first Union College annual was edited by the Senior class. Totalling 176 pages, this first'book holds the record as the largest Golden Cords printed, with the exception of the 1921 edition, which was slightly larger. The Golden Cords was produced by the Senior classes until 1928, when it became a school activity. During the 24 years since 1917 Union has published a Gold- en Cords for each year except 1920, '22, '32-'35, and '43, when depression or a shortage of materials prevented its appearance. These historical facts about the Union College annuals were read by Junius Ol- son, editor-in-chief; Coramae Thomas, assistant editor; and Lawrence Rahn, cir- culation manager; while Lloyd Jackson provided a background of musical ar- rangements on the organ.

I should think that they could devise an easier method of "flunking" me. My head seems to reel. I am so far behind in my tasks that maybe I can catch up next year, or at best next semester. Why am I so far behind? Are my teachers all mistaken in "piling" it on? The more I think of my crisis, the more I think of one word. Neglect! Could it be that I have been neglectful—could it? I am forced to admit that neglect is the answer. I guess I'll just play a little volleyball, basketball, or do some Christ- mas shopping this afternoon. I can catch up my lessons tomorrow—but tomorrow arrives—a Clock Tower column must be written for publica- tion, my work schedule has to be filled, a speech is scheduled for tomor- row, and I spend the rest of the day on that. A bright idea strikes me, I'll talk about his or speak about that, and just as I begin to make headway— Mr. Sandman gathers me into his arms. Ho! Hum! I'll get those other as- signments later. Yes, the reason I am behind in my outside reading and other require- ments is neglect. Failure to budget my time is responsible. Is neglect the reason you are lagging behind too? Could you forego some of your re- creation or shopping—can I? We can make an improvement in our scho- lastic attainments. ,Cetters to the Sditor Marcus Payne 4 CLOCK TOWER, DECEMBER 8, 1944 WE CELEBRATE Dear Editor: "A vote of thanks to Mr. Fowler for the re-vitalized vesper services � PP Art Soper Dear Editor: "The Clock Tower shows unmistakable signs of life, . . . .

Campbell's sermon Novem- ber 25. Elder Campbell, president of the Northern Union Conference, spent the week-end on the campus. Drawing on his background of travel and experience in the United States, Canada, and Europe, the speaker pre- sented in a fluent, lucid and colorful style the coming of the Saviour, the journey heavenward of the saints, and the beauties of the New Jerusalem. Re- ferring to his view .of the various pre- cious stones in the British Museum, he gave a graphic picture of the walls and gates of the city which is to be the home of the saved. Elder Campbell spent many years in colporteur and evangelistic work in the British Isles and is a graduate of the college then located at Stanborough Park, Watford, England. "You should see my little first graders do that. Did I tell you about my first graders?" and this enthusiastic student teacher is off on her favorite subject. She hails from Colorado, where she was the favorite of her adorable first graders for two years. Her ready wit, clear sense of humor, and sympathetic, understanding personality make her room on first floor a popular gathering place and this lively blond the friend of all. Between working for Mr. Cadwallader and pulling her hair over algebra or Spanish, she is a very busy person. When she decides she is too busy for food or sleep, her sister has to take her in hand. Her wide interests find her learning to skate one minute and practicing good study habits the next, delighting all with her infectious giggle or successfully lead- ing a prayer band. Not too long ago her blue eyes were full of mischief as she made the rounds of the dorm. Bending forward mysteriously she would question, "Do you want to hear something that will shock you?" As the listener would become all ears the blue eyes took on a triumphant gleam,— "Elec- tricity!" If you want to see her, go over to the training school and in the midst of the most enthusiastic group of youngsters you'll find---,— but you must have guessed by now. If you haven't, turn to page 4 and then get acquainted with this vivacious freshman.

Although the day was c old, the en- thusiasm of the vacationers did not re- flect the weather. There may have been only a half day of relaxation from books and work, but the student body enjoyed their short vacation immensely. The afternoon was spent in skating and in games. The spirit of the group was high as they turned out for a well-earn- ed recreational period in which all could join. The Clock Tower staff celebrated in its own way on Thanksgiving evening. There were games and refreshments for all staff members. Concluding the day's activities was a Thanksgiving program presented in I• R• C• "Nine causes leading up to the present conflict" was the subject discussed by Dr. Hause at the second meeting of the In- ternational Relations Club, Monday night, December 4. The next meeting promises to be even more interesting, when the subject of whether or not we should join the League of Nations is open for our consideration in the form of a debate. SIGMA IOTA KAPPA Thanksgiving night held a special treat for the members of Sigma Iota Kappa. At 9:00 p. m. when all the day's activities were at an end, the men of South Hall met in the worship room for a Thanksgiving program. The climax of the program came when it was announced that all had received packages from home through the club. The boys wish to express their thanks to Art Soper and his program committee, as well as their parents, for flooding the dormitory with an abundance of delicacies. ALPHA TAU SIGMA Elder J. A. Buckwalter, pastor of the College View church, was the guest speaker at the weekly Colporteur Club meeting last Wednesday evening. He related experiences of several Canadian colporteurs, and gave general information concerning the book work there. The cause of God seems to make greatest progress in the face of opposi- tion—of which the Canadian workers have a great deal. Though it may not sound ideal to spend one's rest periods in jail, that is the way one colporteur found some good in an apparent misfortune. Those making a "B" average are Har- old Clark, Elise Joudry, Franklin Riseley, Doris Venden, Grace Yoshida. FACULTY � 4 Even faculty and staff members enjoy relaxation from every-day duties of the class room. This opportunity was given them on Thanksgiving evening when they assembled in the college dining room for an informal supper. As the meal progressed, the partici- pants were loud in their praise of the culinary skill of the matron and her as- sistant. To close the evening's entertainment a war film and a film showing electrical photographic transmission were shown. After the showing of the films, the wash- ing of the dishes and tidying of the dining room remained to be done. As our Presi- dent took the lead in dishwashing and many others helped, what might have been a lengthy task was soon accomplish- ed. � 4 14 giving numbers such as readings and vocal and instrumental numbers were rendered. BUSINESS CLUB The 25 charter members of the Busi- ness Club for 1944 were called to order in the first meeting of the year Novem- ber 27, at which time officers were elected, as follows: president, Harvey Caviness; vice presidents, Sachiko Chin- en and Rocelia Kegley; secretary-treas- urer, Madeleine Douma. Sponsors of the club are Miss Watt, Mrs. Beckner, and Mr. Fowler. In its eighth year of existence, the Business Club meets once a month to discuss informally unique business helps. Lincoln business men will be featured guest speakers throughout the year. The next meeting will be in the Vis- ual Education Room, December 11 at 9:00 p. m. Moving pictures will be shown. Prospective members are in- vited to enjoy two films, "The Perfect Secretary" and "You'd Better Cash That Check!" THE TRAVELER'S The Traveler's Club organized Wed- nesday, November 29, at 9:00 p.m. The club, under the sponsorship of the Eng- lish department, will meet once every month for the remainder of the year. Officers elected at the meeting are President, Gerald McHenry Vice president, Virgene Westermeyer Secretary, Mary Ann Woods Treasurer, Julius Korgan The purpose of the club is to acquaint interested persons with the customs and geography of other countries. Individuals who have traveled will be asked to ad- dress the club from time to time. Films on travel will also be shown.

Seen around the campus during the last week in November was Harry Haas, who has just received his honorable dis- charge from the Army following long hospitalization caused by wounds re- ceived in action overseas. Harry plans to attend Union second semester. Capt. Carlos Turner recently underwent an appendectomy. Before reporting back to his base he stopped in Lincoln to see his brother and family. The brother is Elder Harold Turner, pastor of the Lin- coln church. T/5 Walter Page writes from New Caledonia that in order to get a change from the laboratory work which he has done for some time, he volunteered for a work detail for two or three weeks and is now engaged in helping to beautify the hospital area. He adds, "For recreation I am still trying to do some wood carvings. I have been carving a couple of squirrels from teakwood. This wood is so hard I had to use an electric motor tool instead of a carving knife." 0 �0 • • • 0 � .1 Dr. Frank T. Lopp Dental Surgeon 3625 So. 48th Lincoln, Nebr.

Meet Our Reporters She Writes Futurama "She's a blue-eyed blonde, and what's more, she's got some sense," was the startling South Hall introduction for re- porter Madeleine Douma. Returning to Union after a year's absence, "Midge" is finding Union changed but considerable while Union is finding Midge changed but little. Talent? Yessireel Accomplishments from a very smooth saxophone to a very fast typewriter are on her list. The Com- mercial department is her vocational choice, but only "for the duration." And incidentally, fellows, if you're in- terested in finding out about dateable en- tertainments during the coming weeks, Midge is the lady to see—she compiles the "Futurama" for the CLOCK TOWER. Which means few persons at Union know as much about what's coming as she does. He Writes Prey Notes Small, suave, and collegiate, neatly sums up the Academic addition to the CLOCK TOWER staff, Mr. Billy Bob Widener. After � years in Lincoln "Biff" needs no introduction to Union, but to the uninitiated may we suggest you notice the dark-haired little gent who carroms about College View in a blazing red convertible coupe, plays a very noisy clarinet, and convulses the college with his side-splitting imitations. Billy Bob is a talented young man and comes by his abilities quite naturally, for his mother has taught piano for a num- ber of years and is currently busy keep- ing a large group of Union's musically in- clined at their arpeggios, et al. Doing both academy and college work this year, our enterprising young reporter has establish- ed a place in both curricular and extra- curricular activities. Those present at the orchestra con- cert November 25 need not be told that our guest artist, Vera Howard Camp- bell, possesses a finger dexterity that meets every technical problem with ease—But perhaps you were unaware that the Grieg Concerto in A minor which Mrs. Campbell played was a part of her graduation recital as she finished at Union College. There is a Golden Cord hung for her, also, for later she went to England. While in England Mrs. Campbell con- tinued her study of music, and she now holds a degree from the Royal Academy of Music in London. The Academy offers final examinations each year, and a student may repeatedly try until he has succeeded. Mrs. Campbell is one of the average one out of every 20 who passes this examination on first trial. She is one of t'VVo in our denomination who holds this degree. Mrs. Campbell now has a music class of 35 students at her home in Minnea- polis. The spray of crysanthemums and roses which Mrs. Campbell graciously receiv- ed were from her parents in California. Union College also presented a spray in appreciation. Recent acquisitions to the record li- brary of Union College are an album of Chopin Waltzes recorded by Alexander Brailowsky, and the Chopin Polonaises by Arturo Rubinstein. Also an album of Bach transcriptions for orchestra has been added. Candlelight and a musical commemora- tion of the Nativity foretell of future pleasures in store for college students as a Christmas program is presented on December 16, in the College Chapel. The program will include' numbers by the Union College Choir and Orchestra, small vocal ensembles, and vocal and instrumental solos. "Proof!" shouts a Harmony 43 stu- dent in question to answers given. Twen- ty-three harmony students have manag- ed to entangle themselves in questions something like this: "Beginning on the super-tonic of the related key ascending of the melodic form of C minor, build an augmented 6 chord whose base is the dominant of this resolution and whose third is enharmonic with the nearly related key of C, and invert it.

December 21, Thursday Does anyone need to be told after counting the days all these weeks that CHRISTMAS VACATION begins today? Sport - Lites Saturday night, December 2, saw the newly organized "B" leagues in all their glory as they played two games before a cheering audience. The players really put their all into it as they got in there pitching. In the first of the games the Academy team drubbed Thomson's team 20-8. The beating that the Academy's team pre- viously got from Beck's squad made them play for certain victory. We have to hand it to those Academy boys for their clean, skillful playing. In the second round we find a wrestle royal between Hove's and Beck's team with Hove's "five" coming out on top by a narrow margin 14-12. Thanksgiving afternoon Minnesota was defeated by Nebraska 36-27 in a well attended game. For reasons not named the Texas team has disbanded. We hope it was not because they were discouraged at not yet being victors—after all, new teams need practice. The athletic events this week have not all been confined to the gym. Since the swell snow that fell, some boys have taken to snowball tossing. Their delight seems to be to catch the ladies when they emerge from the dining hall. They even go so far as to place guards at the back entrance to keep the less venture- some ones from slipping past their bar- rage. If you're waiting for something ex- citing, keep an eye and ear open for the announcement of the beginning of the ping-pong and shuffle board tourna- ments. Answer to Can You Place Her?

OPEN HOUSE (Continued from Page 1) All donned wraps, and a mad dash was made for the administration building, where punch and cake topped with burning candles delightfully removed the memory of rain. After the groups were settled in the chapel there was presented, by the girls, a program which showed in its beauty and perfection the hours of work spent in preparation. First were several musi- cal numbers given by a girls' orchestra under the baton of Grace Burke. A speech of welcome on behalf of Kappa Theta was next by Virgene Wester- meyer. Julius Korgan, president of Sigma Iota Kappa, replied. Unusual was the "March of the Toys" given by the Marimba Sextette con- sisting of six girls, three marimbas, and more mallets than could be counted. "The Six Freedoms" were presented in reading and pantomime. The first scene illustrating "Freedom of Religion" showed several students as the Pilgrims landing on Plymouth Rock. "Freedom of Movement" depicted the early pio- neers on the Oregon Trail. "Freedom of Speech and Expression" showed Claire Booth Luce exercising that right in a convention. "Freedom from Want" was represented by starving Greek children staring wishfully at an advertisement of food. "Freedom of Economic Op- portunity" urged realization of the fact that all citizens are Americans. "Free- dom From Fear" was symbolized by a war mother dreaming of her son. The program was concluded with the Na- tional Anthem. JEWELRY by Hickok and Swank. Tie chains, tie clasps, key chains. $1.50 to $10 plus 20% tax. SONS FETE FATHERS.

MARSH (Continued from Page 1) �.41 Theodosius Dobzhansky, Professor of Zoology, Columbia University,—"I have read Evolution, Creation, and Science with much interest, and, I assure you, 4, profit to myself." The Fleming H. Revell Company states: "The book shows ex- haustive research and the material is presented in a pains-taking way—It is an interesting, non-theological work which will make an effective text book." Dr. Marsh's first book, entitled Funda- mental Biology, was published by him- self in 1941 in a rather limited edition which was soon exhausted. However, numerous demands for the book have caused him to decide to have a revised edition published as soon as publishing conditions have returned more toward normalcy. This first book was written primarily for Adventists and presents the basic principles of biology as set forth in the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy. It con- tains many statements from the earlier writings of Mrs. White which are almost ti unobtainable today.
