The quartet will be assisted by Miss Estello Keihnhoff, soloist, and Miss Marcella Engel, accompanist. Miss Eiche is'one of Lincoln's 'cello instructors. Professor Quick is the orchestra and band director of the University of Nebraska. The string quartet is said to be the most perfect music producing ensemble, excepting that of the human voice. The melody produced by the violins is enhanced by the full, deep tones of the 'cello and the viola. This program is the fourth number of the college lecture course. STEN8ERG TURNS FIREMAN On February 15, Peter Merkel's fish bowl started a fire in South Hall, which was not extinguished until Clarence Stenberg crawled through the transom into the Merkel room and applied water to the smoldering window sill. The Merkel brothers' gold-fish bowl was placed outside upon the window ledge in order to give the fish some sunshine. However, while Peter was doing the late afternoon chores at the college barn, the bowl of water concentrated the sun's rays upon the sill, which caught fire and began to smoke. The boys in the hall detected the odor whereupon Clarence Stenberg performed his fireman act. a freshman wins week's prize 1927 No. 3 STRING QUARTO TO BROADCAST OVER KFAB FEBRUARY 27 JBKH?j^VHH • ,.JEM pH \iHL .

Place: Union lege View. College chapel, Clyde Stuart, treasurer; vice-president: Oswald Grace Cole, secretary; sponsor. Col- At their last monthly meeting, the public library board voted to hold a "book reception" entertainment to help fill the vacant shelves in the College View public library. U was lett with a committee to arrange' to give the program at the earliest date possible. And, after checking up with the college and the public schools, it was decided that Tuesday evening, March 8, should be selected as the date to announce. State Superintendent Charles W. Taylor and Professor A. A. Reed, of the University of Nebraska, have promised to be present and to make 20-minute talks. They are well-known as school men who have long served the educational interests of Nebraska. And their promises to make addresses that evening, is a guarantee that our community will be favored with something worth while. Yes, the admission, if you so desire, is one or more books. Look through your books, and decide which one you wish to bring. There may be a few in the community who can not spare even one book f o r the public library; but there will be others who will take pleasure in bringing three or four books that evening. Hence the average will probably be more than one book f o r all in attendance. Please remember that your presence that evening is even more desired than your presents. Therefore you are cordially welcomed, anyhow; f o r in the broad sense, the doors are wide open and admission free. But books are needed and will be appreciated. By announcing the date in advance, the committee hopes that others will arrange their programs so that there will be no conflict of dates. It is believed that the entire Community is interested in the public library, and will be glad to attend the "book reception" entertainment, if the date is thus given in advance so that they will have time to plan for that evening.

MISS PHILMON TALKS TO A FULL HOUSE FRIDAY NIGHT Claims That the Only Way to Find Happiness Is Through Service "All the great leaders of the world missed the mark of true happiness when they tried to find it in philosophy, gold, power, or pleasure." The only way to find genuine happiness, according to Miss Rochelle Philmon, head of the English department, in young people's meeting Friday night, February 18, is through the "Joy of Service." Some people are so busy looking after themselves that Lliey do not know the joy of doing for others. The song of the bird must be in the heart or else we will never hear the bird sing. When, in the evening, we look back over the day and are able to see that we have been busy doing little acts of kindness f o r others, it gives a joy that cannot be excelled. The deeds may be small, but in God's eye they arc magnified many times. By way of practical counsel Miss Philmon further said; "When you pass a fellow student on the path—smile. When opportunity comes, speak a kind word, f o r you may never know how much that one word is needed. Everybody enjoys a smile and a little word of kindness." Although the chapel was filled to its capacity everyone heard Miss Philmon distinctly except duiing the periods of excessive coughing throughout the audience. YOUNG MEN DISCUSS THE IDEAL YOUNG WOMEN Wesley Andress Holds That Beauty Is tlie Prime ^Requisite "Nothing is more hideous than a women who tries to be a man," emphasized Gerald Minchin at a meeting of the Kappa Theta girls on Wednesday evening, February 16. At the beginning of the meeting there was some speculation among the girls as to why the three young men f r o m South Hall were present at a Kappa Theta meeting. A f t e r the meeting had been called to order, however, and Clara Culver had sung "The Rosary," and the president, Myra Jordan, had announced the next part of the program, they learned that each young man was to set forth according to his opinion the characleris'tics of an ideal girl. The first speaker, Gerald Minchin, said that in addition to being a Christian, an ideal girl must be cheerful, friendly—without losing her reserve,—intelligent, self-willed, and womanly. Mr. Rolland Jenkins, who set forth his ideals next, agreed with the first speaker that an ideal girl must be a Christian. Her other characteristics, he said, must include intelligence, industry, dignity,' "spunk," sympathy, and simplicity in dress. "Beauty is the thing I most admire in a girl," stated Wesley Andress, the last speaker. "Boys set girls on a pedestal because they have qualities and characteristics that the boys do not have and cannot gain; and one of these qualities is beauty," he explained. "But beauty," said Mr. Andress, "does not mean mere physical beauty; it means a beautiful character; it means sincerity; and it means modesty." He believes that God's greatest g i f t to a women is the art of home-making, and that a girl should be a good cook and capable in womanly ways. Mr. Andress insists that a girl, to be ideal, must be' a good pal, companionable, uplifting, and one who demands respect. MANY PARENTS OF PRESENT STUDENTS ONCE ATTENDED UNION Parents of thirty-six present students once attended Union College, according to statistics obtained by Professor Thiol in chapel Wednesday, February 16. The fathers of twentynine students, the mothers of twentyone, and both the parents of eleven were students here. Robert Nethery said that both of his parents had attended Union College and that he had been born on Union College land. Clayoma Engel Getting Subscriptions from Radio Friends Freshmen will win The Clock Toiver contest, according to (^layoma Engel, who has already received at least twenty-five letters of inquiry about the school paper f r o m radio fans who heard the announcement over KFAB, Sunday night, February 13, that the Clock Tower would publish the radio program in advance. Miss Engel is sending a copy of the paper to every one who writes to her concerning it. The program to be radio-cast Sunday night, February 27, is as follows: 1. "Lord, Is It I ?

Literature Sold in Germany in One Year "More than $15,000,000 worth of Seventh-day Adventist literature has been sold in the last ten years in excess of the total f o r the previous seventy years," declared Elder N. Z. Town, secretary of the publishing department of the General Conference, in a discussion of "Literature Ministry" in the chapel, February 18. In comparing the literature sales of the past seventy years by decades, he remarked that the publishing department had enjoyed "increasing success" from the sales of their first little paper "Present Truth" printed in Middletown, Conn., July, 1846, to the present time, not only in this country but also in the 124 other countries where it is being offered f o r sale in 224 languages,—the total sales during the last decade amounting to $40,675,448.

Three days ago occurred the 195th birthday of a man known all over the world as the Father of his Country— the man of the cherry tree fame; and we were reminded that two weeks ago today the paper of our college did tell (we hate to say it) a lie. We refer to the announcement of the Missionary Volunteer program, Friday evening, February 11. Students, we couldn't—but we had to—tell a lie. We wish to make this paper tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth; but it is difficult to do this when programs are subject to change with only two moments notice. Dare we hope that hereafter we may have the co-operation of the entire student body in order that we may follow the example of the youthful George. Plan your programs ahead of time and then carry them out. We believe strict adherence to this policy will increase the quality of the programs as well as the attendance. In the words of another great American—"A word to the wise is enough." W e strongly urge the teachers and students of Union College to patronize our advertisers as much as possible. If two stores are offering equal service, make it a rule to do business with the one that advertises in The Clock Tower. Thus you will be doing the right thing by the advertiser; you will be assisting your own paper; and you will be benefiting yourself. Never fail to let the one from whom y»u buy know that you are from the college or that you are readers of the Clock Tower. The merchant wants to know whether his advertising is bringing results, and he has a right to expect a return for the service he renders. In other words, give and take and ever be ready to make a square deal, to the general satisfaction of everyone concerned. N. Z. TOWN TALKS [Continued from patre 1] the publishing business, he said, had kept constant. When a breakfast there cost forty thousand marks and a hair cut for a "bald-headed" man twelve thousand, German colporteurs sold sixty-four billion mark's worth of literature in one year. In Czecho-slovakia and Jugo-slavia, Adventist literature is not welcomed by the state church, which results in severe persecution of those selling it. "Many have been beaten till they have died from the wounds," declared Elder Town, "and there are very few who have not suffered imprisonment or some other form of punishment." Elder Town, who, since 1912, has been general secretary of the publishing department, and has taken over seventy-five ocean voyages,— visiting practically every country in the world, feels that his most exciting experience occurred recently on a river boat, near Werchow, South China. "Pirates boarded our boat," he said, "shot the captain and robbed every stateroom on the boat, except one which a Chinese doctor and I occupied, and made off with over ten thousand dollars." The Union College Academy has organized into a student organization and has elected officers and a program committee of students to provide a program each Thursday at the chapel hour. The officers and committee members are elected every six weeks so as to give opportunity for more students to serve. The present officers are: sponsor, Mrs. E. L. Pingenot; president, Edward Clard; secretary, Anna Blanche Moore; the committee members, Fae Brooks, Wilbur Dunn, and Lennord Mormino. The organization has given two programs thus far. The first consisted of a reading given by Margaret Winter, followed by humorous readings by Elsa Emery and Verna McWilliams with several impromptu speeches between the readings. In the second program, the academy was favored by a talk by James Rodney about his home life in Scotland. He is a native of Scotland, having lived in America only five years. At the meeting of this organization in the chapel Thursday morning, February 17, M.ilford Graham, the academy chorister, gave a talk on "How We Can Better Our Academy." Lucile Flyger then talked on "What I Think of the Boys in the Academy," and Denton Adamson responded by, "What I Think of the Academy Girls." MISSION BANDS GIVE VARIETY OF PROGRAMS The three mission bands of Union College, the China, the South American, and the Island, met in their respective places, Friday evening, February 19. In the China band Mrs. Paul Bringle sang, "Just When I Need Him Most." Then Elder C. E. Weeks opened his talk with this declaration, "While a student in a school of this kind one little knows where he will be called to go." To illustrate this point he told the story of Elder J. L. Shaw, now treasurer of the General Conference. Mr. and Mrs. Shaw, while students at Union, were one evening singing, "I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go," when a messenger knocked at their door with a call to go to India as missionaries. In the South American band, Miss Lois Morey gave a flag-study on South America. Following this Evelyn Baer recited a poem in Spanish. For breakfast Obituary "So live, that when thy sumrfions comes to join The innumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm, whero each shall tako His chamber in the silent halls of death. Thou KO not. like the quarry-slave at night. Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfalterng trust, approach thy grave, Like ono who wraps the drapery of his couch About hiin. and lies down to pleasant dreams." Union College SOUTH HALL ETIQUETTE Garage "Gentlemen will not rush like stampeding cattle when the breakfast bell rings, neither will they throw hunks of brer.d from table to table," declared Harold McCully among many other "do's" and "don'L's" for those who aspire to become college gentlemen, in his discussion of "South Hall Etiquette," in the Sigma Iota Kappa, Thursday evening, February 17. Other numbers were a song, "When You're Gone I Won't Forget You," by Wesley Rhodes, and "O Sole Mio," by the string trio. Wesley Andress was in charge of the program given.
