VII COLLEGE VIEW STATION, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, JANUARY 5, 1933 No. 14 WORLD TOPICS ARE REVIEWED President Andreasen Starts New Year. by Giving Sur- vey of Problems FUTURE UNCERTAIN Discusses Significant Statements of Internationally Famed Man, Colonel House "If the United states should go off the gold standard, things would be- gin to happen that we don't want to think about, - declared President M. L. Andreasen in chapel Monday morn- ing, discussing the significance of the present world situation at the begin- ning of 1933. President Andreasen sketched brief- ly the history of difficulties concern- ing reparations, leading up to the mor- atorium of last year. At the end of the world war, - he said, "Germany, being blamed for the war, was to pay damages to all the nations immediately concerned. More than $12,000,000,000 had been borrowed of United States by various European nations—Eng- land alone receiving $4,000,000,000— who intended to pay us as Germany paid them. This debt is considered by the United States a debt of honor to be paid regardless of whether or not Germany pays the European nations. "Later, different plans, such as the Dawes and the Young plans, were formulated to aid in meeting the pro- blems of paying, and this last year when Germany, depleted of her re- sources and gold, said she was un- able to pay her reparations, immedi- ately the other nations said they could not pay United States. The time lim- it of President Hoover's moratorium, which suspended payment of debts for one year, ended December 15. France refused to pay and is now dickering to see how much she can get out of; England and Italy paid, but most of the nations did not. They want to have the whole problem re- considered. "In the first place they agreed to pay back in gold. At that time gold in France made the American dollar worth five francs. Now it takes about twenty francs to make a dollar and the French object to paying because they have gone off the gold standard. Another problem is that there is not enough gold in the world to pay the debt owed us by Europe. There is only about $12,000,000,000 in gold in the world. We have over $4,000,000,- 000, and that leaves less than $8,000,- 000,000 in the rest of the world out of which the European nations must (Continued on page three) The magic word Piano stimulates the imagination and conjures up vari- ous images according to one's exper- ience and association with this poetic instrument. A vivid impression may rise to haunt one of a concert artist, silhouetted against the background of a stage, spinning a delicate cadenza, a poetic melody, or a passage of transcendental virtuosity. Again it may symbolize innumerable happy hours of melody and harmony which its rich singing tones poured forth at the beck of artistic fingers in a com- fortable home or drawing room. No matter the circumstances under which the lovely piano tones are heard, there Group Gives Christmas Program at Poor Farm The following group visited and gave a program at the County farm Sabbath afternoon: William Kruse, Milo Adams, Idamae Nelson, Mabel Nelson, and Dorothy Nelson, Margar- et Gillaspie, Genevieve Bradley, Del- ford Boyer, Bill Pruitt, Jimmie Pem- ber, Bobbie Tschauder, and A. E. Owen. The program consisted of a short song service followed by prayer; a violin duct by Mabel and Dorothy Nelson; two songs by the junior male quartet accompanied by Genevieve Bradley; a short talk by William Kruse; a vocal duet by Mabel and Dorothy Nelson accompanied by Ida- mae Nelson; and a portion of "The Other Wise Man," by Henry Van Dyke, read by Margaret Gillaspie. Several of the old men were unable to come out to meeting on account of sickness; nevertheless, there was a larger crowd than usual. After the meeting the manager invited the Sun- shine band to come New Year's CHURCH OFFICERS ELECTED FOR YEAR Members at Business Meeting Accept Nominating Com- mittee's Report At a church business meeting offi- cers for 1933 were elected as follows: elders, J.

The piano has been for centuries the medium through which the most renowned composers have expressed their lofty spiritual thoughts. There are numerous reasons why this should be so. The instrument is capable of the highest technical and a r t i s t i c achievement. The most gifted inter- preter finds in it a reciprocal response to his every whim. It is able to imi- tate the orchestral instruments individ- ually and together, even to the point of timbre and tone-quality. Great stir- ring climaxes or ,whispering pianissi- mos are equally obtainable. By means of touch and the pedal, subtle nuances, dynamics, and expressive colorings can be employed which constitute an eternal fount of joy for the creative artist. One can readily see the limit- lesS possibilities open to the composer who writes in the piano idiom. If from the great fund of musical literature there would be subtracted music that was written for the piano, very few of the precious melodies we love so well would survive. The study of the piano should be fascinating because it introduces the student to a galaxy of inspired music- (Continued on page four) Union College School of Music has three competent teachers: Stanley Led- ington, instructor in voice and theore- tical studies; Carl C. Engel, instructor in stringed and wind instruments and piano tuning, and director of the col- lege orchestra; and Sterling K. Ger- net, instructor in piano and public- school music. The violin department offers the student training to meet the demands of orchestra and solo playing and to prepare him for teaching. The course of study embraces technical material devised by violinists and teachers of established reputation and authority. Instruction is offered in other stringed instruments of the orchestra, such as viola, cello, and stringed bass; in gui- tar; and in such wind instruments as cornet, French horn, clarinet, flute, oboe, and trombone. Private or class instruction is given in piano tuning. The voice and theory department in- cludes private lessons in voice and such two-hour studies as sight-singing, harmony, advanced harmony, counter- point, history of music, form and ana- lysis, music appreciation, public-school music, church music, choir training, vocal ensemble, and vocal analysis. Theory, ear-training, advanced coun- terpoint, and double counterpoint are one-hour classes. BY STANLEY "I have no pleasure in any man who despises music. It is no invention of ours: it is the gift of God. I place it next to theology. Satan hates music: he knows how it drives the evil spirit out of us." So says Luther, the man, who, as the guiding figure of the great Reformation of the fifteenth century, realized the potent influence of music as an aid in religion and used it to such effect until his enemies claimed that more people were sung into the Lutheran ranks than were preached in- to it. Herbert Spencer, evaluating the im- portance of music, says, "In its bear, ing upon human happiness, the emo- tional language which musical culture develops and refines is only second in importance to the language of the in- tellect: perhaps not even second to it." And again, "We will only add that . . . music must take rank as the highest of the fine arts—as the one which, more than any other, ministers to human welfare." Music—psalm singing—crude as it was, has been considered "one of the most potent influences in gathering and holding the colonists together in love. 'Whenever a puritan, even in road or field, heard at a distance the sound of a psalm-tune. . . . he doffed his hat and bowed his head in the true pres- ence of God.' " The piano department offers private lessons in piano, piano normal, and piano symphony. The School of Music has a mixed chorus, glee clubs for young men and for young women, and an orchestra. The class in vocal ensemble provides special music for the church service. Studio recitals are frequent and occa- sional public recitals are given during the year. A music student may choose a major in violin, voice, or piano. A minor may be had in violin, voice, piano, or organ. Thirty-six hours of college work are required in addition to these subjects. Those who major in piano or violin are required to take six hours of Bible, six hours of freshman rhetoric, four hours of Psychology, and twenty hours of eleCtive work. Voice majors will take Bible, freshman rhetoric, two years of either French or German, four hours of psychology, and four hours of elective work. Stu- dents entering upon the junior and senior years of the conservatory course must appear before a board of exam- iners at the beginning and at the close of each year. Juniors must appear in joint recital at the close of the year and seniors must give graduation re- citals. LEDINGTON Judge Samuel Sewall, early Puritan biographer, writes often with tender and simple pathos of his being moved to tears by the singing, as in the fol- lowing: "The song of the fifth Reve- lation was sung. I was ready to burst into tears at the words, 'bought with thy blood.' " In the foreword to Telford's The Methodist Hymn Book Illustrated, we find the following quotation from "Re- ligion in England" by Dr. Stoughton: "Methodism never could have become what it did without its unparalleled hymn-book. That, perhaps, has been more effective in preserving its evan- gelical theology than Wesley's Ser- mons and his Notes on the New Test- ament. Where one man read the homi- lies and the exposition, a thousand sang the hymns." T. H. Yorke Trotter in Mind and Music says: "Man does not live by bread alone: his spiritual nature asks for other food, without which it would perish. There is a certain balance in man's nature between the material and the spiritual, and it is the duty of educationalists to see that while the one is fed, the other is not neglected. Thus the teaching of music assumes a real importance in education—one that it is difficult to overestimate. . . . In the efforts to find means to promote the growth of what is spiritual in us, surely the art of music will be found of value. The ideals and aspirations that it gives us, the glimpse of a high- er and better world bear their part in the betterment of our nature. The sin- cerity that springs from self expres- sion ,.should permeate our citizens' lives. "There is no exercise," said Richard Baxter in 1692, "that I had rather live and die in, than singing praises to our Redeemer and Jehovah, while I might in the Holy Assemblies. . . ." Semester examinations are coming. Sabbath School Hears African Mission Need Sabbath school was held in the North hall worship room, since on ac- count of Christmas vacation the at- tendance was much smaller than usual. B. L. Morse, of College View, a former missionary to Africa, told in his talk of the rise of the work in the Buganda mission, and of the part Pas- tors Carscallen and Toppenberg had in the building up of the work there. The Buganda mission, he said, is one and a half times as large as Nebraska 'and has a population of 2,950,000. The lesson study was conducted by Dr. Dick. Johnie Margaret Taylor and Harold Schmidt sang a duet, "Some Day I'll Understand." Scrip- ture reading and prayer was given by Walter Specht and the secretary's re- port was given by Nell Beem. Hear Letter from Pastor Dick Union's students spending their va- cation in College View gathered in the worship room of North hall to at- tend the last Sabbath School of 1932. (Continued on page four) PASTOR SCHILLING SABBATH SPEAKER Asserts Resolutions Cannot Be Kept Without Strength from Christ How shall we enter into this New Year? "Remember Jesus," recommend- ed Pastor J. H. Schilling in the eleven o'clock service on Sabbath. He gave as the theme of his sermon, "All the way with Jesus would I go, - reciting from an old German verse that with Jesus only can we go our way with joy. It is not worth while to make resolu- tions, the speaker continued, because they cannot be kept. Let Jesus Christ make your resolutions for you: He will keep them in your life, he said. In answer to the question, "How can I walk with Jesus?" Pastor Schil- ling quoted again the words which Timothy wrote, "Remember Jesus." Keep Jesus always in your minds, he said, for the things which occupy the mind greatly influence the life. We must keep in mind what Jesus is to us today, the speaker declared. Continuing, he cited Paul's reference as to what Jesus was to him: wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and re.- demption. Those attributes, said the speaker, constitute the personality of Jesus—they are personified in Him. He then commended them as fit compan- ions for each member of the congre- gation during the approaching year. Pictured as a person, wisdom is the principle companion, said Pastor (Continued on page four) The modern orchestra is the result of a long and slow development. Be- fore the seventeenth century, com- posers used instruments merely as an accompaniment for their vocal works. They had no definite plan as to the choice of the instruments, nor did they have a style of writing which took into account the characteristics of the different instruments. The beginnings of modern orches.: tral music are linked with the rise of the opera shortly before 1600. The first opera to use an orchestra was Jacapo Peri's "Eurydice." The or- chestra consisted of a harpsichord, lute, theorbo, lyre, and three flutes. VACATIONISTS ENJOY VARIETY Dean Johnson, School Homes, Gymnasium, and Dining Room of Interest PLAN DIVERSION Parties, Programs, and Recreation Had for Students Remaining at the College Students remaining at the college during the holiday period had a round of pleasant activities to keep them from becoming homesick. Among other things, there were programs, games, and marches in the dining room and gymnasium, a party at Dean Johnson's Christmas eve, a leap-year party in North hall, a "kid" party, numerous spread-room gatherings, and functions in private homes in the village and Lincoln. Play Games in Dining Room The first program of the vacation was held in the dining room. The com- mittee selected by South hall arranged the entertainment. Their chairman, Frank Swearingen, was in charge. Marches at different intervals through- out the evening were led by Dean Kime, Dave Eickhoff, and Frank Swearingen. Many new games were played. Warren Swayze won first prize for being the most careful high stepper when blindfolded. Russell Nelson earned the first big red apple from the wash tub of water without using his hands or feet. Mrs. Burroughs won special attention during the game, Ships Afloat. Many outbursts of laughter were to be heard throughout the evening. There were periods when the company made merry as a whole; at other times they were divided into smaller groups. Sing Christmas Carols About thirty students attended the song service in the North hall worship room the first Friday night of vaca- tion. The group sang hymns and Christmas carols for one hour. Walter Specht was the leader of the singing and Ada Townsend the pianist. Christmas Tree Used Those who remained at Union dur- ing the vacation gathered at the North hall parlor Saturday evening to participate in the spirit of Christ- mas. The young women of North hall had a tree, beautifully decorated, in the center of the parlor. Underneath the branches of the tree was a heap of palkages of varied shapes and colors. It was understood that the price of (Continued on page three) Claudio Monteverde, another operatic composer, was the first to discover the nature and relative value of some of the instruments. He found that instru- ments have their own peculiarities and, acting upon this knowledge, he in- vented a distinctively instrumental style. Monteverde added strings to the orchestra, and with the improvement of the violin, tone values of instru- ments became a problem consciously studied by musicians. Thus the or- chestra gradually became independent of vocal music and acquired a style and dramatic power of its own. That people then began to appreci- ate instrumental music for its own sake is evident from the number of airs and dances played during the in- termissions between the acts of operas: gigues, sarabandes, minuets, and bour- ees. Composers, however, did not yet fully understand the possibilities of or- chestral instruments. Even the great Johann Sebastian Bach treated them like voices. It was Joseph Haydn who discovered the true nature and possi- bilities of the instruments and thus be- came the father of the modern sym- phony orchestra. He divided the or- (Continued on page two) Inspirational Quality of the Piano INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS! Has Made It the Vehicle of Genius BY STERLING K.

Then let me pluck the flowers that blow, And let me listen as I go To music rare That fills the air; And let hereafter Songs and laughter Fill every pause along the way; . I shall not pass this way again." To what kind of music are we listening as we pass this way through life? We hear the joyousness and the songs of courage. We even listen to the sensual and to the crude. But do we take time to listen to the songs of sadness, the songs of care? Such songs are sung in this world of ours. If we stop and hear them, we might find occasion to show a kindness. Our song of life would be of deeper richer tones for having listened. We must thereafter make our song gayer than before—see that we do not join the mournful singers. But let us show pity, let us show mercy to the less fortunate souls who cannot lift their heads above the dirt, the poverty, the cruelness, who cannot straighten up their backs nor stretch forth their hands to help another. Cease your own music. Stop in the midst of your song, if need be, and listen! Teach another to sing his song of life a little better. When you take up the strains of yours again, they will be smoother and easier to sing. Some day, when earth's great throng sings harmoniously be- fore the throne of God, you may stand beside one who learned his song from you. J. H. M. SATISFACTION IS BEST Now that vacation is passed every one looks forward to se- mester examinations—perhaps even dreams of having only a half hour before the final examination in which to review fresh- man history for the entire semester or some similar foreshadowing of that nerve-wrecking week in January. Then come the grades— and oh! the wrangling which follows! If one stops to consider the difficulties in the present grading system, and that true success is not found merely in surpassing others but rather in bringing out the very best within oneself, there would be less talk of the supposed unfairness shown by teachers. That "very best within" may not show itself on the examination paper or by the grade recorded, for there are many conditions at the examination period and also such varied physical differences of the individual which makes exact grading impossible; but the noble character finds happiness and satisfaction in doing his best regardless of whether he is given credit for it or not. L. R. The beginning of a new year always reminds us of the fu- tility of attempting to begin all over again, and it ought to re- mind us that the one solution to our life of repeated failure is turning over the whole business to One who lived faultlessly on our earth two thousand years ago. There are many mileposts in life to direct our attention heavenward. It is unfortunate that many of us are so intent on things that do not count anyway that we forget to let our hearts be refreshed by pausing for a moment of reflection or meditation. MUSIC — AND MUSIC Although every one likes some sort of music mildly or de- votedly, not every one really enjoys good music. There are sev- eral reasons for this: lack of knowledge of what constitutes high- class music, lack of understanding how to enjoy high-class music, and utter perversity. Any one really interested can read to inform himself on what is good music. Or, if he has the time and money, he may take an appreciation course. If he is specifically interested, he will be able to cram in a little instruction on the side whether or not he has time and money. Lack of understanding how to enjoy scholarly music may need several remedies. For instance, one needs to study inten- sively certain phases of music in order to be able to see points of merit when he attends a concert and to recognize technical ac- complishment. Those who have an inherent feeling for music but who say, "I like common music that we can all understand," ought to learn that music is not entirely an art one may sit back in relaxation to enjoy any more than all books are for one to absorb drowsily. Some music, as some books, is intended to stim- ulate the intellect, to demand thought and attention. Other music, as other books, is intended to rest and soothe one. Still other music, as other books, is cheap and stimulates that in one which ought never to be encouraged. For utter perversity there is no adequate prescription. No one educated in music technique should scold the unap- preciativeness of those willing souls who understand only ordi- nary music. Neither should those who do not understand scholar- ly music make uncharitable remarks about the performance of those who believe themselves possessors of technical knowledge and talent. Of all things to quarrel about, let us not choose music —"the language of heaven." A. L. W. Some people are born to he anvil and others to be hammer. The question is not our rights but what is right.

Mozart developed further the woodwind section, especially the clar- inet. Then came Beethoven, who is considered the greatest of all sym- phonic writers. Except for the addition of the tuba and some minor changes, the orchestra of Beethoven is the or- chestra of today. Carl Maria von We- ber and Franz Schubert developed the tone color possibilities of the orchestra, so that symphonic music attained the power of expressing action as well as emotion. The great genius or orches- tration at this time was Hector Ber- lioz. He wrote a "Treatise on Instru- GROUP HIKE TO ANTELOPE Thursday evening a group of thirty students left North hall for a progres- sive hike to Antelope park. Games were played while the supper, which consisted of pancakes, fried potatoes, fried eggs, hot chocolate, and ap- ples, was prepared. Before starting home, a group of the students went through the power plant. RANDALLS IN COLLEGE VIEW Mr. and Mrs. Winslow Randall, who have been teaching in the school at Madison, Tennessee, are back in College View for the rest of the year. Mr. Randall, who was graduated from Union in 1929, is working for Charles McWilliams. Mrs. Randall plans to continue her college work. History of the Violin Is Given BY CLAYOMA ENGEL The most popular stringed instru- ment is the violin. It is also the small- est in size and highest in pitch of the violin family. With its brilliant tone it is a dramatic singer among instru- ments, important as a soloist. _ The whole stringed family is of Asiatic origin. The rebec, a remote an- cestor of the violin, came from India. In the twelfth century the crwth of the Welsh bards, a stringed instrument played with a bow, was combined with the rebec and became the viol of the troubadours. These various instru- ments, called viols, geiges, and fidels, developed into the violin and finally reached perfection toward the end of the seventeenth century. The thing that differentiates the members of the violin family from other stringed in- struments is that the former are always played with the bow, while the latter are plucked with the fingers. The wonderful progress in the de- velopment of the violin was due al- most entirely to the genius of a num- ber of Italian makers of stringed in- struments from 1600 to 1750. There were schools of violin makers in the Italian towns of Cremona, Brescia, Venice, Naples. There were also less famous ones in France, Germany, and England. The most important of all was the Cremona school, which includ- ed Stradivarius, Guarneri, and - the Amatis. No one knows why these vio- lins produce music that is so much sweeter and mellower then that of the finest of modern instruments. They have grown more beautiful in tone as they have aged, and the greatest joy of a virtuoso is to possess one of them. The Dietitian BY MIRIAM WESTCOT'T Fats in the diet furnish heat and energy as well as provide shape and supply protection to the body. They are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen—carbon and hydrogen being the two chief sources of heat. Large amounts of fats can be stored in the tissues as a reserve of energy. The digestibility of fats depends largely on the way in which they are prepared. Fats are the slowest to di- gest of any food, and especially when heated to a high temperature. Because of this fact, digestion is greatly re- tarded when foods are fried in fats. For example, starch is the element which digests the most quickly, but if a starch food—such as potatoes—is fried in fat, the fat coats the starch food so that it cannot be cared for un- til the fat is digested, thus hindering the digestion of the starch for several hours. This is why fried foods often cause digestive disturbances. Cream, butter, soft cooked or hard boiled eggs, nuts( thoroughly masticated), are easily digested. Although one-fourth of the diet is to be made up of fats, we must keep in mind that it is the most concen- trated of all food elements, and that only a small amount, quantitatively speaking, is needed to supply the day's ration. For instance, one square of butter furnishes as many calories as one slice of bread, or a medium sized orange, or about three servings of carrots. One-eighth of a pound of butter and a serving of cream would furnish the day's requirement of fat for the average individual. There has been some discussion as to whether or not vegetable butters are as nourishing as butter made from cream. The fat content is the same, but the fat-soluble vitamines are deficient in the vegetable butters. However, this may be easily supplied by the use of whole milk, cream, eggs, or nuts.

Too often those songs are chosen which are light and flippant and lack the dignity which should characterize the medium of ap- proach to God. It has been said, "Singing is just as much an act of worship as is prayer." How reverently then should God's people approach His 'sanctuary, and ascribe to their God the praises due Him, by using the best in music! There is a need for thought in this direction. "I saw that all should sing with the spirit and with the understanding also. God is not pleased with jargon and discord. Right is always more pleasing to Him than wrong. And the nearer the peo- ple of God can approach to correct, harmonious singing, the more is He glorified, the church benefited, and un- believers favorably affected."

He contrived many new orchestral effects and particularly de- veloped the use of the brasses. The master of orchestration today is Rich- ard Strauss. He has realized new or- chestral possibilities and uses lavishly the distinctive tone colors of each in- strument. Modern composers add to the orchestra any contrivance which they think will help to produce the musical effect they want. Today the symphony orchestra com- prises four sections: strings, wood- winds, brasses, and percussion, with the harp and sometimes the piano. The average number of performers is about eighty, distributed as follows: three flutes, three oboes, three clarinets, four bassoons, four horns, four trumpets, four trombones, one tuba, one harp, three kettledrums, fourteen first violins, twelve second violins, ten violas, ten cellos, ten double basses. Singing of Hymns Advocated by a Music Student BY ALBERT ANDERSON "Let us all sing." Most people like to sing. Some do not because they have not put forth effort to secure from singing the good there is in it for them. It is inspiring to observe a congregation join in singing a hymn enthusiastically. Though they may have difficulty in following the rhythm and the words, saying nothing about singing every note correctly, to them it is an utterance of praise. Song provides the laity of the church a means of personal expression of de- votion and praise to God which other- wise could never be shown, for sing- ing is an act in which all can engage without embarrassment. Music has always followed the church as a handmaid of religion. In the dissemination of the gospel, song has ever been an aid and a medium of praise. Consider for a moment how in timately music was associated with the Israelites in all their services. "As the people journeyed through the wilder- ness, many precious lessons were fixed in their minds by means of song. At their deliverance from Pharaoh's army the whole host of Israel joined in the song of triumph. . . . Often on the journey was this song repeated, cheering the hearts and kindling the faith of the pilgrim travelers." (Educa- tion, page 39) Music was a vital part of the life of the Israelites and was used effectively as an aid to a deep and happy religious life. David made much use of song. "The service of song was made a regular part of the religious worship, and David composed psalms, not only for the use of the priests in the sancta. ary service, but also to be sung by the people in their journeys to the national altar at the annual feasts. The influence thus exerted was far-reach- ing, and it resulted in freeing the na- tion from idolatry." (Patriarchs and Prophets, page 711) After the last supper, the record says, "They sang a hymn and went out." This, spoken of Christ and His disciples, infers that Christ knew and felt that singing had in it a vital power to foster a sereneness of spirit and to brace the soul for the conflicts which He knew the disciples would pass through. Singing did more for the reforma- tion than any, other one thing. Coler- idge said that Martin Luther did as much for the Reformation by his hymns as he did by the translation of the Bible. Up until that time the mass- es of people were not given opportun- ity to sing, and when they were they entered into the exercise with a fer- vor and enthusiasm that swept the results of the reformation to every land. Every religious movement has rec- ognized the power of music in the promulgation of its ideals. Some one has said that "A thought expressed is a thought made serviceable." Truth to be effective must be experienced, and some form of utterance must be provided. What can be more elevating than to sing the hymns of great writ- ers whose souls have been touched with holy fire? Into their hymns have entered the breathings of the highest holy emotions—the best of their re- ligious fervor. This same fervor will be imparted to the participant in song if he enters seriously into the privilege of singing in the church those hymns which contain the highest poetic value and a harmonic content that is in keeping with the elevation of the truth expressed. Great truths deserve to be expressed in the best way, poetically and musically, and there are thousands of good hymns which can be used The Painter's Pains BY HAROLD QUICK Some one dressed in white overalls, which have more or less of a variety of other colors on them, is probably a painter. As he works in the halls it is interesting to listen to such remarks of passers-by as were heard the other day: "Do I dare go through here?" "That paint smells good." - What would happen if I would get against it?'' To the first an affirmative answer can be given; but it's up to the in- dividual to make the attempt. Why some are fond of the odor of paint is hard to understand. A person may be- come accustomed to it so that he doesn't notice it; but to actually like it is beyond comprehension. Any one is at full liberty to experi- ment, if he wishes. It doesn't bother the painter if some one gets into the paint, for the greatest amount of trou- ble is for the one who tries to get the paint off. All the painter has to do is brush out the marks made. He hopes that he is not altogether to blame for their discomfort; though he does feel it his fault when he forgets to tack up a "Fresh Paint" sign. 4 RADIO SCHEDULE Union college broadcasts every Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock over radio station WCAJ, owned by Ne- braska Wesleyan university, Lincoln, and operated on a frequency of 590 kilocycles, the same wave length as that used by station WOW, Omaha.

He called again to the poor animal to let him know that we had heard him, and another answer came back. We found him with his chain caught and wrapped around a large cornstalk. He had dug a deep furrow around the cornstalk while trying for two days to pull the chain loose. At that time the half-starved coyote gave the greatest display of happiness and thankfulness that I have ever seen. We felt paid for •being a friend to animals.

During a number of short con- versations with different partners in which topics were specified by Miss Swayze, a heart was forfeited for every personal pronoun used. Jeanette McKibben, who had the most hearts at the close of the game, was an- nounced the heartbreaker of the party. Following this game the girls chose their partners, dividing into groups, which were guided to the spread-room, where Myrtle Swisher handed out for- tunes; to the recreation room, where ping pong was the vogue; and to the lounge on fourth floor, where other score games were played. The guests in the parlor a second time, Esther Miller gave a humorous reading and, after another game, the group sang some old-time rounds. Thursday evening, December 22, games and marches were the chief feature of the entertainment in the gymnasium. The young men carried off the laurels in putting on pillow slips, and threading needles. Other games were "Ruth and Jacob" and volley ball. Celebrate New . Year Union college students met in the gymnasium Saturday evening to cele- brate the entrance of the new year. For a general mixer, names of prom- inent people, as Joan of Arc, Bess Streeter Aldrich, Abraham Lincoln, H. K. Schilling, C. C. Engel, Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Hilts, and Pastor Schil- ling were pinned on the backs of the students and each was to discover who he was by asking questions which could be answered by yes or no. As soon as each had discovered who he was, the girls were given cards with five numbers, each representing a march, which were to be filled out by the young men. Mr. Ogden and Calvin Gordon lead the marches and Mr. Ledington and his orchestra fur- nished the music. After several marches a short pro- gram was given. President Andreasen wished the students a happy New Year, after which Harold Schmidt sang "Just A'wearyin' for You" and Ermina Powell read. Calvin Gordon then lead in the singing of the college pep song. A rousing tag march closed the evening's entertainment.

One of the most interesting ones that I have known is a coyote. One of our neighbors, a trapper, brought this coyote over to our house one morning as a present. It was young, and therefore easy to teach. We decided to keep and raise it as a family pet. Since we had a bottle with which to feed a young lamb, we used it to feed the coyote, also. As it grew up, we fed it the same kind of food that we gave to the dogs and cats. Sometimes we brought a rabbit for it, but seldom, because that made it a trifle vicious. We could see many coyote traits develop, although it associated with dogs and sheep. Before it had grown very much, it developed a habit of catching chickens; and to prevent it from doing this, we put a collar on it with about six feet of chain to drag around. A great friendship was created be- tween this coyote and the little lamb. Their actions made a wonderful illus- tration of "the lion and the lamb" of the Bible; they always ate, played, and slept together. Whenever one of them was missing at bedtime, the other would whine or "baa" until he came. Even when grown, the coyote protected the lamb. At evening, when the milking and separating was over, these pets were usually found at the milkroom door, waiting for their milk. One evening the coyote was missing. We thought nothing about that; but when he did not appear the second night, although we called, we feared that he had run away or had been mistaken for a wild one and shot. The third night, think- ing that he might have been only hurt and unable to return we decided to search for him. For entertainment we had often imi- tated the howl of a coyote in order to get him to howl (the reason he was so obliging probably was that our imi- tations were painful to his ears), and, as my younger brother was the most proficient one of the family in that line, we elected him to be the coyote- caller. He raised his voice in an al- most-perfect coyote howl, but received THE CLOCK TOWER PAGE THREE e• Ensemble Studies Best Selections By ADA TOWNSEND One of the most enjoyable organiza- tions for the music lovers of Union college is the vocal ensemble. The sev- enteen members meet three times a week with Stanley Ledington, the di- rector. The time is spent in learning some of the best musical selections. The most difficult number which the ensemble is studying is Antonio Lotti's Crucifixus. The harmonies are beauti- and they can be brought out to ad- vantage since it is sung a cappella. A Bach choral, Father in Hig Heaven, an Evening Song, by Arcadelt, and the Ave Verum, by Mozart are all inspir- ing numbers. The ensemble also sings some lighter numbers, such as The Sleigh, by Kountz-Riegger, Brunette, a French folk song, and two madri- gals, Now I See Thy Looks Were Feigned and Sing We and Cizaunt It. Most of the numbers are a cappella. The members of the ensemble are by no means stiff and solemn. There is some humorous incident in nearly every practice and occasionally these are little annoyances, such as the so- pranos squeaking on a high tone, the basses booming loudly on some light passage, the altos engaging in an in- teresting discussion of algrebra or some other irrelavant material, or the tenors' bored yawning when they ap- pear at practice at all. Vacationists Enjoy Variety (Continued from page one) the gifts was not to exceed ten cents. Each person present brought a pack- age for some other individual, names having been exchanged between North and South hall. The gifts were of a varied nature, but all, seemed pleased with them. Professor Kime received a little doll as one of his presents. After a few games were played a group of carollers visited the homes of faculty members. Dinner American Style Christmas dinner was served in South hall at one o'clock on Christ- mas day. Only thirty-eight students were present. The tables were ar- ranged in a U shape in the center of the dining room and were attractively decorated, the tomato cocktail giving the predominating color. The food's being served in the American style added a home-like atmosphere. Johnsons Entertain Dean and Mrs. A. W. Johnson en- tertained Christmas night the students at the college who did not gc home. Informal games requiring wit and alertness were played. Mrs. Johnson served generous dishes of ice cream and plenty of cookies. Dean Johnson directed the interest- ing game of charades in which words, songs, and scenes were acted out. Walter Specht, Russell Nelson, Paul Miller, and Ernest Hanson won the prizes, according to the judge, Mr. Little.' The four boys standing in a row were a symbol of the word fore- fathers. Ruth Downing won the prize when she made forty-two words out of the letters in Christmas. Much merriment was afforded by the telegrams which every guest wrote, using the letters in the name of the person to his right as a begin- ning for each word. The prize was awarded William Whitson for mak- ing the prettiest clothespin doll, the eyes of which, according to the judge, were most expressive. Have Taffy Pull North hall girls put on short dresses and tied ribbons on their curls or braids, and South hall boys donned knee pants, windsor ties, and long stockings for a "kid" party and taffy pull in the South hall dining room Monday evening during vacation. The first part of the evening was spent in playing games, Several in- formal groups were formed and the fun began. Such games as ping pong; Anagrams; Up, Jenkins; Brother, I'm Bumped; and Testing Eggs were en- joyed. When it was announced that the taffy was ready to pull, the children scampered to the kitchen, There a plate of taffy awaited each couple, partners were chosen, and the pulling began. After the taffy had been pulled and cut in pieces, it was decided that it was time for little children to be in bed. Goodnights were said, and the "kids" went to their homes. Girls Stage Leap-year Party The girls gave a leap-year party in North hall Tuesday evening during the vacation period for the boys of Soiith hall, the members of the fa- culty, and a number of outside stu- dents. The guests were directed in groups into various parts of the dor- mitory, where games and entertainment were provided. World Topics Reviewed (Continued from page one) pay $12,000,000,000. They want to pay us in goods, but we don't want them to because that would throw our men out of work, and we already have an oversupply of goods and men job- less. If United States insists that the debt be paid the world would be bankrupt. - Turning to a different but related topic, President Andreasen, quoting statements from Colonel House, who was President Wilson's righthand man before they separated and who, as one of the most conservative of conserva- tives, is still a man of immense inter- national importance, considered the possibility of approaching crisis in United States politics. Colonel House believes, the speak- er said, that conditions are not unlike those preceding the French Revolu- tion; that with the present discontent current anything might happen if a leader were at hand suddenly; that al- though no leader is in sight now he might appear over night; that once a crisis comes things might be beyond control; that one of the causes of un- rest is the complete, lack of confidence in our political and financial leaders; that regardless of party beliefs the leaders should get together and formu- late plans to help present conditions; that the danger of a Lenin dictator- ship will be more and more imminent. In conclusion, President Andreasen mentioned statistics how technocracy, the government of this machine age, has brought about mighty productive industrial ability and tragic situations in employment problems. "All this tells us as Adventists," he affirmed, "that we have come to 'troublous times.' 'Look up, for your redemption draw- eth nigh.' We haven't a minute to lose. Do not neglect any opportunity this 1933."

Referring to the words of Solomon, he reminded the audience that wisdom will bring honor to the one who possesses it, and that it is worth far more than gold. Righteousness, explained the speak- er, will train one's conscience; it will teach one the things that are excellent and true, while sanctification accom- panies the pure, the clean, and the holy. He pointed out that God calls us unto holiness and that it is God's will that we be sanctified, concluding this topic by solemnly saying that we must not wait for heaven in which to be saints—we shall never get there if we take that attitude. Constant association with the first —Redemption, affirmed Pastor Schil- ling. He closed his remarks by proph- ecying a beautiful, congenial, and hap- py New Year for those who remem- ber Jesus.

Piano a Vehicle of Genuis (Continued from page one) ians whose work is available in no other form and who, in the main, have directed the course of music through the years. Each one of these artists in his own peculiar idiom has caught the true spirit of life and presented its myriad facets to the ear in elusive music. The piano itself is a gratifying instrument. After working on it for a period, one feels the joy of accom- plishment and a happy sense of re- creating art-works. The fact that the piano possesses unfathomed and unex- plored power and beauty has goaded men on to the bright star of ideality and perfection. It has been truly styled the instrument of the immortals! Hear African Mission Need (Continued from page one) Ellen Swayze, read a letter which Dr. Dick received from his brother, Pastor E. D. Dick, who is secretary of the Northern European division to which Sabbath-school offerings are be- ing sent this quarter and who spent ten years in African mission work. In his letter he stated that, although in the mission field they have been econ- omizing as much as possible, still the need is great. He appealed to the students of Union to sacrifice still more for missions. Ada Townsend, telling of the work in the Irish mission, stat- ed that it was a difficult field because Catholicism was the predominant re- ligion of Ireland. The lesson study was conducted by Prof. G. W. Habenicht. In briefly re- viewing the past lessons, he pointed out that the Lord's Prayer was a mo- del prayer, given in direct protest to the formalism of Christ's day. Profes- sor Habenicht said that one could pray at any time and under any cir- cumstances; that it was a form of prayer if, when one hears beautiful music, he feels within his heart an ap- peal to higher living.
