t 4 Dr. E. M. Hause The College View Church is a working unit. This has been proved by the ladies of the Dorcas Society in the duties performed in the Eu- ropean relief program during the past three months. Making use of the theory that a moth-eaten suit in the closet or an outgrown sweater in the gar- age is of no practical value to its present owner, the ladies in the society have collected these gar- ments from their neighborhood. Since January, the society has been instrumental in mending, packing, and shipping ten large barrels of clothing to the European conti- nent. Shoes and coats seem to have been the most popular contribu- tions received by the society. Quilts, pillows, woolen laprobes, and dresses will all be passed on to the other side of the globe. Per- haps the most unusual contribution was a long string of buttons which some thoughtful person gave. Along with this, more than sixty packages have been sent individ- ually by members of the church to families in Greece, Italy, and some other bereft countries. Union is part of the College View Church. Each student can do his share to help this worthy cause. Why not clear the surplus clothing from each closet? Putting into reality the North Hall motto, "Others," the young "daughters" of Miss Rees have in- vaded North Hall's wardrobe in search of suitable clothing to share with their sisters in France and Norway. With the aid of needles, hooks- and-eyes, shoe polish, soap, and water, the inhabitants of the girls' dormitory have prepared many dresses, coats, shoes, hats, and sweaters to be sent to our schools in Europe. Three boxes have al- ready been sent to France, and six to Norway. Miss Pearl Hall has been instru- merital in translating letters from France, and it is obvious that ev- erything that has been received from America is much appreciated.

"Spring" was the theme of the program. Dinner music was furnished by a string en- semble under the direction of Professor Engel. Following a welcome address by the junior president, Joe Barnes, and the response by the senior president, Mackay Chris- tiansen. Dr. E. N. Dick recalled the days of long ago, the man Mark Twain, and "the beautiful land of beginning again." "You seniors have borne the horror of term papers, semester examinations, outside reading, and the other tasks of school life," stated Dr. Dick. "This was the coming up the mountain and now you will be going down the other side for your career. You are the workers of tomorrow, and as such, we wish for you, as you dismount to a new pro- gram, every blessing and success under God's leadership." Addresses were given by Pro- fessor R. W. Fowler, and the guest of honor, Dean Woods. Josephine Griffin, Bonnie Lindquist, and Norman Roy played the "Minuet in G," and Laurie MacPherson followed with a delightful musical reading entitled "Speak for Yourself, John." Frank Hale rendered the selection "Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes," and then "Scenes from the Past" were por- trayed. Essie Lee Davidson and Mike Loewen showed the "good ole days" as Frank Hale sang "Love's Old Sweet Song." Albert Gerst portrayed the "Yanke of Old" while the quartet, composed of Joe Barnes, Edward Herr, Nor- man Roy, and LeRoy Albers, sang "Yankee Doodle." The last scene was the Indian of old as shown by Effie Fisher, accom- panied by LeRoy Albers sing- ing, "Indian Love Call." Art Soper, Haziel Clifford, Coramae Thomas, Hilda Fern Remley, Wilford Burgess, Virgene Buck, Lillian Mantz, Ernest Voyles, Delmer Holbrook, Betty Yar- wood, John Herr and Orvin Fill- man, showed how "Others See Us." To close the program the quartet sang "Auld Lang Syne." Picture of Publishing Secretaries and Other Workers Who Helped Make the Recent Union College Annual Student Colporteur Institute so Successful.

Church � North Hall Juniors, Seniors Banquet at Cornhusker; Spring Theme As I See It. . . . Why Won't. Women Wear Whiskers? By Morten Juberg r. 0 T1 rr VOL. XXI UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN 6, NEBRASKA, APRIL 22, 1946 � NO. 13 • Recent disclosures concerning certain aspects of atomic fission are very reassuring. A new report drawn up by a carefully chosen, five man civilian committee has been released amidst a welter of confusion created by a strug- gle between factions in t h e United States who either wish to place the secret under control of a military committee, or under the control of a civilian com- mittee, or under the control of a civilian committee criticized by a military board. Two comforting facts w e r e pointed-up by these men that simplify the whole question of the use of atomic power in peace times. The first is that atomic bombs can be made only with uranium; the second, plutonium and uranium can be produced in a harmless, denatured form. If uranium only can be used for atomic bombs, the possibility of making bombs, or the necessity of inspecting t h e making o f bombs, is limited to those countries possessing uranium de- posits. Thus the task of control is simplified, and the fear that some atomic experiment will misfire and blow up the earth is removed. The second fact that certain mixtures o f plutonium and uranium are non-explosive and can be made explosive only by expensive, difficult, time-con- suming, large-scale processes, simplifies the methods by which its use can be made available to all nations with theoretically sat- isfactory methods of control. The chief points of the pro- posal for control of atomic en- ergy are: An international Atom- ic Development Authority will own and work all usable uran- ium deposits and will do all dangerous processing around the world; this Authority would re- lease only denatured uranium to individual nations for scientif- ic and individual uses by their citizens. The United States will gradually and completely trans- fer the knowledge of the secret processes to the Atomic Devel- opment Authority as fast as the Authority is able to guarantee its safe use and to construct the plants where it is to be made. Ultimately all the uranium raw materials of the world, all uran- ium producing plants and all stockpiles, will be placed under the Atomic Development Auth- ority and there would no longer be any more atomic secrets. Of course, the entire activity of the Authority would be placed under the Atomic Control Commission of the United States. The Authority's plants for making dangerous uranium and plutonium would be "distributed with equality among all import- ant nations" with no single na- tion possessing superior facilities and materials. If any nation should seize the Authority's plants and stockpiles within its territory that would serve as a distance warning to the other nations. The world would not yet be free from a possible atomic war but the Acheson Plan possesses merits beyond anything yet de- vised. Elder N. C. Petersen Speaks That Union College is the best college in the world and that Un- ion College students are the best students in the world is the sum- mation of the opening remarks of our chapel speaker, Elder N. C. Petersen, newly elected presi- dent of the Colorado conference, on April 12. He claimed this was the first thing he learned upon arriving in College View. Elder Petersen reminded us of the sacrifices of our forefathers in order to build and support Union College. He stressed the point that it would not be worthy of us to let the pioneers down. "The world is in a desperate state," said Elder Petersen, "and there are not many people that know where they are going." Then he exhorted the student body to turn to the Cross of Cal- very for in it alone can the true values of the inner soul be discov- ered. "Then our hearts will go out in sympathy to the many human souls which are caught in the snares of eternal doom each day. We will be aroused as never before to help those who might otherwise be lost." The illustration of Lot's treas- ures in Sodom was given to show that we should be willing to sacri- fice minute worldly pleasures in order to store up treasure for eternity. Elder Petersen closed with an appeal to us to respond to the great commission left us by Jesus. Former Lincolnite Appointed to China Will Work With UNRRA Kenneth M. Haggard, formerly of Lincoln, Nebraska, was recently appointed Field Work Relief Of- ficer for the China UNRRA Pro- gram. He left for Shanghai with 69 other UNRRA specialists on the SS MONROVA which sailed from San Diego on March 22. The United Relief and Rehabil- itation Administration has already dispatched a large number of wel- fare and medical experts, transpor- tation specialists, and engineers to China to assist in the rapidly ex- panding relief activities there. Since the beginning of the year, UNRRA food has been arriving in volume at recently opened Chinese ports. UNRRA is also sending thousands of tons of medical sup- plies, seeds and fertilizers, machine parts, contributed clothing, and raw cotton for the textile mills. UNRRA specialists are also help- ing to fight epidemics, install mod- ern sanitation, rebuild railroads and dikes, and reopen transporta- tion systems. China's biggest agricultural pro- gram, in which the UNRRA plays an important part, will return the Yellow River to its pre-war course and restore two million acres of farmland flooded early in the war as a defensive measure against Jap invaders. Part of UNRRA's food contribution will be used in this project as a basis of payments to an estimated 330,000 workers. As a result of the program it will be possible to produce enough food on the restored acreage to help China substantially in meeting her own food requirements. Mr. Haggard is well qualified to carry on his work in China, as he has been engaged in the same type of endeavor here in the United States and in Canada. Having re- ceived his A.B. degree in 1933 from Cotner College here in Lin- coln, he studied social work for a year at the University of Nebras- ka. He has served as district di- rector of employment in the Ne- braska• War Projects Administra- tion. (Cont. on page 3) Ferren Explains Publicity Work In chapel, Wednesday, April 10, the student body was honored by having as guest speaker, J. R. Fer- ren, Secretary of the General Con. ference Bureau of Press Relations. This bureau supervises newspaper publicity for. the Seventh-day Ad- ventist denomination. In a very interesting talk, Mr. Ferren described the work of the Bureau of Press Relations. He de- scribed and illustrated how the newspaper can be used to mold public opinion in favor of the de- nomination. By using the news- papers of our nation to influence the public in a favorable manner, we are "letting our lights shine." He told us in a very impressive manner that this line of work touches every phase of denomina- tional activity. It gives prestige and popularity to school dedica- tions, transfers of the ministry, or- dinations, new churches, new mis- sionaries, and church relief activ- ities. In the opinion of Mr. Ferren, the most valuable asset of this pro- gram is that by making the indi- vidual church pastors publicity agents, that editors are influenced to intersperse their stories with our doctrines. Many illustrations were given from our nation's largest papers to show in no uncertain terms that newspaper publicity is the most economical way of spreading the truth. H. M. Johnson is New Business Manager Comes From W.M.C. "We are very happy to have received an invitation from the hoard of management .of Union College, in which field we have spent so many happy and prof- itable years," is the statement made by H. M. Johnson, who is to be the new business manager beginning this summer. Mr. Johnson was born in Kear- ney County, Nebraska and at- tended Union College for three years. His education was com- pleted in Copenhagen, Denmark, where he obtained his Bachelor of Philosophy degree. After he returned to the United States, he became a teacher and dean of men at the Hutchinson Theological Seminary. He also was president of that institution after having been there nine years. Six years later La Sierra called him. H. M. JOHNSON Denmark called him to help build a new school. He was ed- ucational secretary for the union and visited Norway, Sweden, and England several times dur- ing the eight years there. When he returned to America, he became president of Cana- dian Junior College. Mr. John- son is now connected with Wash- ington Missionary College. We are happy to welcome Mr. Johnson as a member of the Union College faculty. From Start Now and then we notice on some of the men a few stray, sus- picious hairs in that region lying 'twixt the nose and the mouth. These sub-proboscideal adornments are better known as mustaches, or to quote a well known authority as "mustn't-touch-its." The above illustration shows the result of a dull razor and no hot water. To prevent further torture, the weary shaver decided to grow a mustache. To bolster his morale and to affirm any comments of casual onlookers, he also applied liberal quantities of eyebrow pen- cil. It might be stated here that eyebrow pencil is one of the most important requisites in cultivating a mustache—even more vital than the hairs themselves. Three weeks have elapsed. By now our hero has spent long hours before a magnifying mirror with shears and razor, carefully pruning the facial foliage. He has now ad- vanced to the most difficult .stage of all. It is a well known fact among men that whiskers will grow an eighth of an inch in the first six hours after you shave and then not grow any more for several days. Because of this, many would- be mustache raisers become dis- couraged and whack off the em- bellishment. There is no limit to the shape the mustache may assume at this point. Just observe some of the examples about the campus. The shapes range from flying triangles to lazy half moons, with variations to suit the wearer. To Finish Long months pass and now the mustache has reached its zenith. This handle-bar mustache repre- sents the goal of all mustache de- votees. What gives more dignity to the owner of the adornment than to nonchalantly twirl the ends! How healthful it must be to constantly drink hair-strained foods and li- quids! How comforting it must be to know that all dust has been re- moved from apples, crackers, cook- ies and other foods! So, my friend, tomorrow morn- ing when you are shaving, don't serape off the upper lip. Leave it alone and start on the road of healthful and happy living. Be careful though, it's ticklist busi- ness.

The much talked about U.N. ( and too often unduly criticized) is such a worthy endeavor. The United States which was largely responsible for the cre- ation of the U.N. is an active member of this plan for peace. We furthered this program be- cause we are a peace loving nation and the sincere hope of every American is that the inter- - national disputes will be settled by arbitration instead of force which results in the ruination of nations and peoples. We also favor the plan of the U.N. because we believe that law and order is a vital necessity and imperative in any society. To keep aggressor nations with- in bounds we must not only have international law but also a means of enforcing that law just as we have federal, state, and local laws adequately enforced by a police power. Remove that law and the means of enforce- ment, a chaotic condition will result in which every man is his own law and a reign of the "sur- vival of the fittest" ensues. Christianity is an aggressive peace movement and therefore should be and is a part of the U.N. It would seem that we as Christians would wholehearted- ly, in word and deed, support this move toward the peaceful solution of international disputes instead of torpedoing it by harm- ful criticism. We will admit that the U.N. has its weaknesses and has not brought about a per- fected Utopia. But we must not forget that the U.N. is working against odds such as race, color, language, and tradition. In spite of these differences we are safe in saying that it has already ac- complished more than our own national Congress does in a simi- lar time period. Already in its sessions heated conflictory issues have been adjusted by the frank- est fighting words which other- wise would probably have been settled by guns and swords. How much better to reach agreements by "eye to eye" discussions than "blow to blow" combat. It is the writer's opinion and sincere hope that those of us who are prone to rebuke this peace movement will keep in mind that our message can be carried to the far corners of the world under more favorable circum- stances and in less time in peri- ods of peace than in war. We spend large sums of money for the dissemination of religious liberty doctrine that we might be able to preach the gospel with- out governmental interferences. Let us give the U.N.—our only security from national chaos— the same unconditional support. Let us not scrap and condemn the U.N. structure until its re- sources have been sufficiently tried. Indifference and lack of support from the common people can speedily deliver the death blow to this God-given gift to war weary humans. Let us not by our own disdain become our own enemies! "How long have the students of Union College been included in the book Who's Who Among Stu- dents in American Colleges and Universities?" After futile attempts to get this information from various ones on the campus, I went to the files of the CLOCK TOWER in the library. In November, 1941, Union was invited to participate. A faculty- student committee composed of five members selected the names of ten students among juniors and seniors to appear in Who's Who. They were selected according to character, leadership, scholarship, and potentialities of future useful- ness to business and society. At this time, more than 550 col- leges and universities and approx- imately 5,000 students were rep- resented in the only national means of recognition devoid of fees and dues for honor students. The purpose of this organiza- tion is three-fold: it acts as an in- centive for students to get the most out of their college careers; as a means' of compensation to students for what they have already done; and, as a standard of measurement and future achievement. In 1943-'44, the choice of stu- dents was made by secret written ballot by the Union College fac- ulty from a complete list of the juniors and seniors. For the school year 1945 and '46, selections were made accord- ing to what each student had ac- complished in the past. All stu- dents should have attended Union for at least two years before. It was also suggested that nine stu- dents be selected, but two more or less could be nominated. Nom- inations are in accordance with the enrollment. The following whose names were the first to appear in Who's Who in 1941, representing Union College, are giving valuable ser- vice in the following fields: Marie Sanders-Rowland—libra- rian and registrar at Campion academy in Colorado. Neil Rowland—veteran prepar- ing to enroll at Union College in 1946. Arlene Church-Seitz—wife of Charles Seitz, ministerial intern in Kansas City, Missouri. Library is Scene Of Fete With a rush into the reading rooms and book stacks in the li- brary, the social held in that build- ing the evening of April 6, was off to a good start. The object of the commotion was a new type of Easter egg—candy kisses. Also, scattered in out-of-the-way places were several large candy bars, these being found by the more ob- servant and intent searchers. The browsing room served as the main reception room, though it was noticed that Byron Blecha made several trips into the main upstairs reading room where he had discovered food. Just how much he consumed is not yet un- earthed, but he managed to leave a good "feed" for everyone else. Ice cream with freshly crushed strawberries, e g g sandwiches, baked beans, and punch were served, after which the group lis- tened to Ardis Rasmussen relate her favorite ghost story. The throaty groans and wierd screams provided by Russell Shawver pro- vided a most appropriate setting. All were relieved when the lights were once more turned on in order for each to get his wraps to return home. Those present at the entertain- ment wera Art Soper, Francis Knittel, Josephine Griffin, Laurie MacPherson, Janet Campbell, Rus- sell Shawver, Alvin Brashear, By- ron Blecha, Grace Walker, Ardis Rasmussen, Letha Surdam, Wil- mer Unterseher, and Carolyn Polk. Miss Floda Smith, librarian, was the faculty sponser. Thanks go to Art, Ardis, and Miss Smith for a most pleasant evening. Margaret Blue-Jackson—wife of Elmer Jackson, a canvasser in Col- orado. Mercedes Bernal—teacher of bi- ological science in the Inca Union Training School, Lima, Peru. Ethel Hartzel—at home with her mother, making others happy with her art work. Clarence Duffield and Francis Wernick — ministers in Wildes Barre, Pennsylvania, and Bismarck, North Dakota respectively. Charles Lickey—student at the Theological Seminary at Washing- ton, D. C., preparing to go as a missionary. Rolland Olson—medical intern at the Portland, Oregon, Sanita- rium. Those from Union College who appeared in the last edition of Who's Who for the school year 1944-45, are either in the gradu- ating class this year or are being useful in giving true service to others in the following ways: Esther Minner — registrar and Spanish teacher at Shelton acad- emy. Fern Johnson-Ramsey—instruct- or in Nursing Arts at Loma Linda, California. Eileen Mayberry—dean of girls and speech instructor at Maple- wood academy, Hutchinson, Min- nesota. Gerald McHenry—dean of boys and history teacher at Maplewood academy. James Mershon—assistant in an evangelistic effort in Duluth, Min- nesota. Wilbur Chapman — ministerial intern in Williston, North Dakota. Elmer Jackson — canvasser in Leadville, Colorado. Virgene Westermeyer - Buck, Coramae Thomas, Hilda Fern Remley, and Harold Burr, seniors this year in Union College. Josephine Griffin—junior in Un- ion College. The Who's Who organization, which had its beginning in 1933, has its headquarters in the Uni- versity of Alabama. This organi- zation serves as an incentive for students to make the best possible use of their time while they are in college, and it is a great honor to be classed among outstanding stu- dents in American college and uni- versities. Robeson Sings At University Paul Robeson, the great Negro singer, attracted an unusual num- ber of Union College students to the Lincoln Symphony program Saturday night, April 13. Inter- spersed with Robeson's stirring songs of varied class, were expres- sive piano selections presented by William Schatzkamer, American- born piano artist. Union's representation at the concert enthusiastically helped to bring Mr. Robeson back for his many encores. His Negro folk songs such as, "Lil David Play On Your Harp" and "Joshua in the Battle of Jericho" evoked emphatic applause. There are several students of the music department who can now proudly show the autograph of Paul Robeson. Those who talked with him feel rewarded for their patience in waiting to meet this interesting individual and popular vocalist. "He is certainly a huge man," remarked Gloria Olson. "We en- joyed talking with him. He was very friendly." Morten Juberg remembered to take along all the equipment he has found necessary for full enjoy- ment of the symphony programs. With his telescope, he was able to see at close range those per- forming. Students riding home under the chaperonage of Dean M. S. Culver were hampered due to a faulty tire. Dr. E. M. Hause came to the rescue and the tire situation was soon "cleared up". Pederson Wins Gregg Award, Like the rat-tat-tat of machine gun fire. That describes the tempo of shorthand dictation that Miss Watt has been giving recently. And there is a North Hall girl who can get it all down! Yes, it's Margaret Pederson. She is the second Union College stu- dent to be awarded a 160-word Gregg shorthand medal, the first having been Madeleine Douma in 1945. But Margaret is not satisfied with 160 words. She hopes to pass the 175-word test before school is out this spring. Her ultimate goal is 300 words a minute—twenty words more than the present day speed record. Margaret has been taking short- hand for three years. She attrib- utes her success to the fact that she likes it. At times she has had to push herself in order to work out of a rut, but perseverance won the battle. Reading shorthand notes and practicing daily is her advice to those who might desire to follow in her footsteps. Margaret has not quite decided just how she will use her skill. She may teach or do secretarial work. Being able to travel around the world and use her shorthand at the same time would please her very much, but she has not quite figured out the occupation that would call for that combination. However, this next summer will find her working in the Book and Bible House at Kansas City. Why I am in College Those not present at the April 13 Young People's Meeting missed one of the most inspirational meet- ings of the year. After a vocal solo by Le Roy Albers, the subject was announced to be the reasons why "I am back in college." These reasons were given by various stu- dents. Mary Bess Johnson gave the real worth in elementary school teach- ing. That the teacher is the hero of the children is why his work is so important. It is the early impressions that are often most vividly remembered, and the ac- tions and words of the teacher may decide either for good or for evil. Wilmer Unterseher stressed the importance of the medical work and told why he chose that field in college. Again the audience was reminded that the health service is the "right arm of the message." More and more men and women are becoming impressed with this need and are interested in medi- cine as a career, asserted Wilmer. "Just as surely as God has a place for me in Heaven does He have a place for me on this earth," declared Virginia Lohman, art teacher here at Union. The de- mand in our publishing houses for good artists is far from being filled, she continued, as she told why she chose art for her field. "And on each tract you can send a message in picture," she said, disproving the idea that an artist is not really in the "work." Branka Bogdanovich's beautiful solo was followed by a talk given by Shirley Scheller who express- ed the sentiments of the steno- graphic students. "I like to think of secretaries as a part of a great machine," was the theme of her talk. And certainly our soul-win- ning work depends to a large extent upon the services render- ed by these faithful workers. Bernard Furst told why he was in the work of the ministry and his feelings are probably those of the other one-hundred nen and wohlcn that are majoring in re- ligion this year. The work of the ministry is a most sacred work and needs to be carried forth by con- scientious laborers was the keynote of Mr. Furst's talk. All were impressed with the heartfelt talks given by these peo- ple; surely there is a place for each consecrated individual. Kampus Klubs I R C "Spain, the way I saw it" was the topic of the descriptive and in- formative speech given by Miss Lessie Lee Culpepper at the April 3 meeting of the International Re- lations Club. Miss Culpepper was in Spain during the Spanish Rev- olution in 1935, and witnessed many heart-rending and hair-rais- ing scenes during her stay in Ma- drid, where she attended the Ma- drid University until she was forc- ibly made aware of the risk of continuing under such dangerous circumstances. "Never have I appreciated any- thing so much as I did my Amer- ican passport during those days of civil war," commented the speaker. "I had but to carry it in plain sight, and I had comparative as- surance of being unharmed." Miss Culpepper said it was indeed a privilege for a Spanish family to be harboring an American citizen, for it meant protection to be near an American passport. A T S B. Y. Baughman, publishing de- partment head of the Colorado conference was guest of Alpha Tau Sigma, Tuesday, April 16. After his brief admonition, the group divided into its usual sections for basic drill on salesmanship tech- niques. According to C. W. Watt, pres- ident of the club, this procedure will be followed for the remainder of the year, the chief aim being to help the colporteurs become fa- miliar with their canva.s.ses through practice. S I K The regular weekly meeting of Sigma Iota Kappa was held in the chapel on Thursday evening, Ap- ril 11. Vice-president Olaf Hove was in charge of the meeting. Mike Loewen offered prayer. After the announcements, the club herald, Fred Metz, entertain- ed all with his summary of the week's happenings on the campus. The evening's program consisted of two films which were appraised as being ranked among the most interesting shown in the club for a long time. The first film showed the more daring of the winter sports, and the second showed how crocodiles were captured in vari- ous parts of the world. Students See Film One of the year's outstanding films was shown the evening of April 13. "The Life of Alexander Graham Bell" has long been recog- nized as a picture of unusual in- terest, and its reception by the col- lege can be determined by the fact that it was shown again the next day. Dealing with the trials and ef- forts that constituted the back- ground for the development of the telephone, the picture was inter- woven with the personal aspect of Mr. Bell in his struggle for se- curity.

Everard Hicks: "I would like to see the chapel programs changed. In- stead of having faculty members or visitors speak constantly, it would be nice if the students could be in charge of every other chapel program. Perhaps there wouldn't be so much studying during that period if the programs were more interesting." Gordon Lundberg: "I highly respect Union College, not for its per- fection, but despite its alleged imperfections. It is out of this respect that I humbly offer the suggestion that the student's social life be left to the discretion of the student as long as his conduct permits it. I know there will be casualties under this proposed new liberal system, but I do not believe there will be as many as there are at present, for loyalty to trust seems to be one of our strong points. I sincerely believe that were we given this desired freedom, not only would our charac- ters be strengthened, but also the spirit of Union." Eddie Burnett: "Union College is a fine school and a good place to get an education. I am not going out of my way to find fault, but—there are several good tennis racquets lying around. How about getting those tennis courts finished?" Clarence Hilliard: "Union could be a much better school and would come much nearer fulfilling her purpose as a Christian institution if a more positive attitude were taken on the question of Christian association." Kenneth Holland: "I am very enthusiastic about the building program here. but there are a few other things I would like to see accomplished, too: a better supervised pool with a frequent change of water, a change in location of the bulletin board in the "Ad" building, at least three tennis courts, and a student union." Louis Roth: "I think that we should have a horseshoe tournament." Vernon Wahlen: "We could relieve the congestion of the east stair- way on the second floor of the administration building by putting the bulletin board on the opposite wall." Wilmer Unterseher: "We need at Union a livelier and more intelligent interest in national and international affairs. My suggestion would be a five-minute review of news highlights of the week given at the be- ginning of chapel every Friday." Ray Pelton: "There are many Adventist young men who would be at Union if farming subjects were offered. Why doesn't the college offer courses in Agriculture?" Charles Merickel: "I believe that we should have more school spirit and less 'kid spirit' here at Union." Earl Miller: "A student likes to enter a school where he can major in the subject of his choice. Therefore, if the course of engineering were added to our curriculum, I believe more engineer-minded young men would enroll in Union. We have the pre-courses of mathematics and sciences, and if we could add drafting and laboratory work we could complete our education here at Union." Robert Merickel: "Don't you think we could have a neater campus by placing some trash cans outside—one by the cafeteria entrance and one by the rock pile?" Willard Regester: "We should have a bell system that rings in North Hall, South Hall, and the administration building. This system should be controlled by a master clock and would eliminate any difference of time on the campus and help all students get to classes earlier." He Had Nothing to Say Haggard (Cont. from page 1) tion, and as manager of labor rela- tions for a large construction com- pany in Alaska. Prior to his UN- RRA assignment, Mr. Haggard was assistant director of personnel for the American Red Cross in the Pacific Area. "Why is it," asked a South Da- kotan of a Kansan, "that you Kan- sans always fight for money, while ' we South Dakotans only fight for honor?" "I suppose," said the Kansan, "that each fights for what he lacks most."

There is also a series of lectures that is presented to the class; speakers often come from outside of the department. These features, combined with the open forum and discussion periods in which the students all engage, prepare the students for public appearances in later life. Plans have been made for en- larging the speech department, and separating it from that of the English. Starting with next fall, a major will be offered in that field. Recent new equipment pur- chased include a Fairchild turn- table equipped with magnetic cutter-head and diamond pick- up. The cutter-head can cut any- where from sixteen to eighty- nine groves per inch and can cut either in or out on the record at either thirty-three or seventy- eight revolutions per minute. More equipment has been or- dered which will arrive shortly. This includes a bi-oxial speaker, two microphones, and a fine in- put mixer. 411 Miss Culpepper and Mrs. Fowler carry on their work with the aid of student readers.

Faye Hendrick, Mr. Tarr, Betty McEachern. The English-Speech depart- • ment is the second largest de- partment in Union and has the second largest number of majors in this year's graduating class. Seven English majors will have received their degrees before the new classes organize next fall. The department is headed by Mr. W. F. Tarr, and he is assisted by Mrs. Ray Fowler, Miss Lessie Lee Culpepper, and under-graduate laboratory as- sistant Marlys Owen. Misses t Lillian Larson, Helen Carpenter, and Josephine Griffin also as- sisted with the freshmen the first semester. 4 5P We hope it doesn't always take window shades to keep Lawrence Bogdanovich quiet. In sopho- more class meeting he suddenly found a window shade envelop- ing his head, neck and shoulders. Can't you take the hint, Bog? C 4 !P Attention physicists: We find new terminology coming into the world of science. Dr. Woods has already told us about the electric current which "flew" through a coil. ("Flowed" is the word used previously.) Dr. Ogden offered to pay for all broken windows of the normal building after the new ball dia- mond was constructed. The fel- lows were ready to practice and would have challenged the win- ners of the 1931 series. North Hall girls of today, you should be ashamed. Fifteen years ago the senior girls could sing all of the school song. CLOCK TOWER campaign. Yes, the fellows won-405 309. Did you know that anyone liv- ing in College View paid 12 cents for streetcar or bus fare? Those living inside the city limits of Lin- coln proper dropped in just one thin dime. But—in 1931 the Lin- coln Traction Co. made the fare 10 cents all over the city. The first fire drill Union ever had! The Ad building was cleared in two minutes and ten seconds. Plans were laid to have one a week during nice weather and one a month during the cold season. Mr. Kime announced to the men that the rising bell was early enough for young musicians to be- gin their concerts. Fifteen cents a passenger any- where in Lincoln—that was the fare charged by the new College View branch of the Lincoln Cab Co. Have you ever heard of the mu- sic department?

Present Unionites were happily startled by the appearance of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Sample who paid a surprise visit to "Dear Old Un- ion," April 12 and 13. "You don't know how to appreciate Union un- til you've left it for awhile," says Carol Kvinge-Sample emphatical- ly. Both are enthusiastically plan- ning to return for the summer, after schoolteacher Melvin locks his schoolhouse in Fort Worth and again plays the role of schoolboy. Miss Gloria Ayers, Unionite of last year, visited Miss Betty Yar• wood and other friends April 12. Hear ye! Hear ye! All you men who are having a hard time find- ing shirts—try this as a remedy. Walt Howe was presented with a prison work shirt at the State Re- formatory. The number on it was 023, the "0" signifying that the shirt had been earned by hard labor. He had been holding meet- ings for the inmates that fall, and they decided that he should be the honored guest of the year. No Golden Cords! Union Col- lege students would have the best or none, and the depression years made it impossible to print the best. A Leap Year party was enjoyed especially by the young men of South Hall as North Hall girls swarmed into their lobby to escort them to an evening of fun for all. Plans were made for a two-year self-supporting missionary course in agriculture. Dr. Dick, whose minor field for his doctor's degree was agriculture, was elected to teach the course. Cowpaths across the campus caused discussion then, too. The Junior-Senior Banquet was held in the North Hall assembly room. Dr. Dick was sponsor of the junior class as he is this year. Mr. Welch, the president of the senior class, told about "My Next Invention," which turned out to be a reversible semester examina- tion. Some of you might inquire whether or not he is using it with much success. .:414=041..4.4••043.0.1M. Post War Trends In England There is a vast difference be- tween the size of individual in- comes in the United States and those in Great Britain, according to figures just released by the Brit- ish government. And there is also a difference between pre-war and post war incomes. Before the war there were in England 7,000 persons earning $24,000 or over after taxes were deducted; today there are only 60. And those earning between $16,- 000 and $24,000 before the war numbered 12,000; today there are fewer than 900. But at the same time, wages for the lowest paid group have in- creased—and the day laborer in England frequently worked for $12 or less a week. About 90% of this group are today earning 65% more than in 1938. But the class which shows the largest in- crease in numbers is that which before the war was earning be- tween $20 and $40. All this goes to prove that the war has brought about a much- needed social revolution in Eng- land. But with more money being earned, there are also severe short- ages, so that the wage earner now puts approximately half his in- come into savings. As a matter of fact, he could do little else with it, for shortages exist in almost every commodity. The Englishman buys only half as many clothes, one third as much furniture, and one fifth the number of automo- biles as before the war. So de- spite larger earnings and better so- cial conditions, the standard of living remains about the same. Ev- eryone expects, though, that as more goods become available, the British people will get the benefit of their better incomes and in every way they will be socially and economically better off than in 1938. Already there is an indica- tion that the man-in-the-street wants better goods and a lot more of them; he isn't satisfied with the idea that all of the best should be exported and all the shoddy stuff kept for home consumption. Of course, what he wants now more than anything else is some- thing which will help him ease out that belt a little. i i i i i i Phone 4-3470 Mr. W. H. Beaven, also of the department, is on leave of ab- sence this year in order to pur- sue a course of study at the uni- versity of Michigan that will lead to a Ph.D. degree in speech. He will be back at Union next fall to head the speech depart- ment. The college has introduced a new system in regard to the freshman English students. In the past their course has been limited to a study of grammar and a brief survey of composi- tion; it has now been broadened to include both writing and speaking English. Instruction Over 100 fellows and 95 girls enrolled for the new school year! You ask, "When did they have a drop-in-the-bucket enrollment like that at Union College?" Turn your thoughts back fifteen years and you will learn with me how Union operated in a depression year. Mr. C. W. Kime, dean of men, and Miss Pearl Rees, dean of wo- men, were happy with their little families that year. Both knew it would be a good year because Un- ion is a growing Union. In one of the opening addresses given by President Andreason, the thought that we hear today was stressed. "If the world ever needed leadership, it needs it now. Diplo- mats and rulers in every land are perplexed at the conditions they are facing and are uncertain as to their future course." Room 408, which was the prin- cipal English classroom, received a new ceiling—the traditional leak having been repaired. Two Scotchmen roomed togeth- er which impresed upon everyone's mind the fact that the business cycle had definitely reached the depression stage! If you were old enough in 1931 to take some interest in the radio and if you tuned in to station WCAJ every Wednesday after- noon at 3:30, you would have heard Dr. Dick give the first two programs of Union's weekly broad- casts. lege School of Music. One night Mary Bess Johnson, looking very forlorn, walked into the library. When asked what was wrong, she said, "I went outside to do my outside reading, but I have to do it inside because it's � Detwiler's Lunch too dark out."

Physically Speaking By Olaf Hove Nebraska remains the basketball champion of Union College. In the championship game, the final score of which was 44-43, Nebraska was hard pressed to win through the entire game, but finally inched ahead to win on a free throw. The hard - fighting, spirited Indiana team simply would not give in, and with two minutes of the game re- maining, Indiana was four points ahead but failed to maintain this lead and finally went down to de- feat. The losers were paced by Bob Stringer who played the game of his life and as his 24 points proved, was hotter than a fire- cracker on his shots. The outcome of the game could truly have been different if Indiana had not lost Don Stoops early in the game. The winners were sparked by the bril- liant ball handling of Marcus Payne and the beautiful tip-ins of Lowell Barger. Bill Zima proved his ability at playing table tennis by rating first in a tournament that has been go- ing on for the past several weeks. In the finals against Olaf Hove, Zima proved his ability to come from behind with the pressure on by winning three straight games, 21.19, 21.18, 21.15 after losing the first game 21,12. After Zima got started, his slamming offense proved a little too much for his opponent's defense.

In the meantime, Alvin went out to get the car, knowing only that it was a gray coupe. He took the only car that answered to the description. Well, after Mr. Ben- ton's nerves were calmed and apologies were made, Alvin definitely wants more than a description the next time. He wants to be "shown."

Boulder was their interesting destination. Re- port: "Good time was had by all." Mary Ellen Owen, Betty Mc- Eachern, and Charlene Ogren leis- urely viewed K. C. and loved ones on a preliminary vacation just be- fore the Spring recess. Conse- quently, the main topic during the legal vacation was "make - up work." "Home" came partially to Ed- wina Bowen during spring vaca- tion. Her mother, Mrs. Ed Bowen, transformed an otherwise lonely holidays into a gay few moments, seemingly. It obviously appears that the season is "out of season." With this reverse, there is naught more to expect than that "April flowers will bring May showers." Perhaps it's for the best, for who has time to admire lilacs, spring, etc., etc., when exams are intermingled? So we'll play while the sun shines and make grades when it rains. Tabletalk reveals first hand that although it is against W. Burgess' principles to mix education with vacation, it is observed that he took his study along with him. Lloyd Jackson says that he en- joyed especially some of his favor- ite pieces rendered by Mr. Schatz- kamer. 4: 4,4•14.404io •••.00•00 44•44..4. Dr. Frank T.
