COLLEGE VIEW, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1927

VOL. I

R. B. Ambrose, scientific lecturerentertainer, will speak in the college
chapel, Saturday evening, October 29.
This will be the second number of
tihe c o l l e g e lecture course. Mr. A m brose calls his entertainment, "The
Scientific Story," p r e f e r r i n g not' to
have it considered under the broad
title of a lecture. Practically all the
apparatus used in this entertainment
was m a d e by him.
His experiments with electrical
apparatus of various kinds, combined
w i t h his knowledge of radio, led to
his engaging in p l a t f o r m lecture demonstrations w h i c h he has conducted
with great success in many parts
of the country.
A m o n g his many experiments are
the welding of nails by e l e c t r i c i t y ,
permitting
the
current
to
pass
t h r o u g h hie body; h o l d i n g two carbons in his hands t o f o r m an arc
light; f i r i n g a cannon and sending
a flag u p the flag p o l e by use of
rays f r o m an ordinary flashlight; cont r o l l i n g lights and power by radio,
ttoking power out of t h e air.
He
does not rely on trickery, but makes
application of little known physical
and electrical laws that lend themselves well to interesting- demonstrations.
Mr. A m b r o s e lightens his lecture
w i t h laughter
and
pungent-witticisms. He says in a recent letter:
"Because I weigh t w o hundred pounds
and have always been t h e center of
a laugh area (as a meteorologist
would say) I find many things to
laugh about while I am on the platf o r m — sometimes I try t o point
t h e m out t o my audience. I believe
in the laughter of science as well as
the science o f laughtter."
Admission t o the l e c t u r e will be
fifty cents. Season tickets f o r the

The resignation of Professor Homer
F. Saxton, professor of Bible in the
theological department of the college
f o r the last f o u r years, became effective last week. Professor Saxton was
compelled to resign because of ill
health. He plans to live on his f a r m
at Spring Valley, Wis., until his
health permits him to resume his
work on Union's faculty.
The class in Christ and prophecy
which Professor Saxton has been
teaching will be taught by Professor
H. U. Stevens. The doctrines of Christ
class will be conducted by Professor
W. W. Prescott. The college management plan to secure a teacher f o r
synthetic Bible soon.
Mrs. Saxton
plans to continue her work in the
commercial department this semester.
Professor Saxton is a graduate of
Union, being a m e m b e r of the class
of 1919. He was engaged in ministerial work in the Colorado Conference f o l l o w i n g his graduation.
For tiwo years preceding his coming
to Union he was principal of Enterprise Academy, Enterprise, Kans. His
work was made especially inspirational by his advanced study in a
Bible Institute in New York City the
past summer.
Professor Saxton states: " I resign
entirely because of ill health and I
deeply regret it. To offer my resignation is one of the hardest things
I have ever done. My w i f e and I
have had very pleasant associations
here. W e hope it will not be long
until my health permits our return."

Engel and the members of his. orchestra our most sincere thanks and congratulations f o r the splendid service
and pleasure rendered us and the

Pep? Yes, Union has lots of it. If
you don't think so, just look at the
way the subscription drive is goingover. Anything slow .about it?
Not
that we have noticed, and most of
the groups are just g e t t i n g up m o mentum.
W a i t until next week.
W a t c h the bulletin board f o r the
leaders. It isn't long b e f o r e the end
of the week, and we are wondering
who will be the proud possessor of
the week's prize. It is like guessing
on the color of next year's automobile licenses, or the 1928 D e m o c r a t i c
nominee f o r the presidency—there
are so many possible guesses. That's
the f u n of it. Just about the t i m e
one considers the contest as limited
t o the tlhree or f o u r leaders, here
comes a "dark h o r s e " and elbows his
way to the head of the list.
"The
fight is o n ! " Leaders, watch, to your
laurels.
• The unexpected happened this week
when the r e p o r t of a c o m m i t t e e was
r e j e c t e d by the men of South Hall
" t o break p r e c e d e n t . " And it was a
p r e f e c t l y g o o d precedent, too.
At
least no reason f o r changing the
t i m e - h o n o r e d order of things was
given.
. A f t e r an organization chooses some
o f .its own members to serve on a
c o m m i t t e e , which o f t e n means that
they must spend many hours to c o m p l e t e their task, it does seem that
their report should not be rejected
without some valid reason.
Of course, any organization has a
right t o r e j e c t reports submitted , by
a c o m m i t t e e . Evidently some of the
young men f e l t that this privilege
m i g h t be lost to the human race if
i t ' w e r e allowed to remain unnoticed
longer.
W e are now waiting patiently f o r
some bright young man t o present
to the. august assembly of gentlemenconcerned, a new plan f o r choosing
and. electing
officers f o r student
activities.. The best one we can think
o f , i s to put the leaders,of the "break
the p r e c e d e n t " idea on the next ten
nominating c o m m i t t e e s appointed by
the students.

Evidently the idea of asking questions during the Sabbath school review
is gaining in popularity with the
" r e v i e w e r " only.
Perhaps it ought

PRACTICAL

SUGGESTIONS

Teacher: Do you. have your card
f r o m the business office?
Student: Oh, I f o r g o t and left it
home this morning.
T h e f o r e g o i n g dialogue was heard in
so many classes last week that it
seems necessary to give s o m e practical suggestions f o r keeping track
of those valuable l i t t l e cards which
state that all is well so far as financial affairs are concerned.
Here are some schemes that) have
helped others to r e m e m b e r :
Bert M c B r o o m pins his card to the
upper right-hand side of his sweater.
This makes it easy f o r the teacher
to see.
Elsa Emery attaches her card to
the tie of her dress.
Elden Peterson r e c o m m e n d s the
deepest inner coat p o c k e t of the sec
ond-best suit as t h e safest parking
p l a c e f o r class cards.
Another popular idea is not to have
any card at all. Then it's impossible
to f o r g e t to bring it) to class.

HOW OLD ARE

YOU!

One day there came to the court of
a king a gray-haired professor who
amused the king greatly. He told the
monarch a number of things he never
knew before, and Bhe king was delighted. B u t finally it came to a point
when the ruler" wanted t o k n o w the age
of the professor; so he thought of a
mathematical problem.
" A h e m ! said the king, " I have an
interesting sum f o r you; it is a trial
in mental arithmetic. Think of the
number of the m o n t h of your birth."
Now, the professor was sixty years
old, and had been born two days bef o r e Christmas, so he thought of
twelve, D e c e m b e r being the t w e l f t h
month.
" Y e s , " answered the professor.
"Multiply it by two," said the king.
"Yes."
" A d d five."
" Y e s , " answered the professor, doing so.
" N o w multiply by fifty."
"Yes."
" A d d your age."
"Yes."
" S u b t r a c t three hundred and sixtyfive."
"Yes."
" A d d one hundred and
fifteen."
"Yes."
" A n d now," said the king, " m i g h t I
ask what the result i s ? "
" T w e l v e hundred and s i x t y , " replied
the professor wonderingly.
"Thank you," said the king. " S o
you were born in D e c e m b e r , sixty
years ago, e h ? "
" W h y , how in tlhe w o r l d do you
k n o w ? " cried the professor.
" W h y , " r e t o r t e d the king, " f r o m
your answer—twelve hundred and
sixty. T h e month of your birth was
the t w e l f t h , and the last two figures
g i v e your age."
"Ha, ha, h a ! " laughed the professor.
"Capital idea! I'll try it on the next
person. ^It's a p o l i t e way of finding
out people's a g e s . " — W a t c h m a n .

"REASON AND EVOLUTION'
"Reasoh »nd Evolution," by Zellers,
is a new book in the c o l l e g e library.
The author dedicated his book to
the rowers and not to the floaters.
Humanity, like a stream, has a
current
and
eddies.
Those
who
merely float with a current, no matter how popular, usually get into a
mere human eddy, and float round
and round and round and almost
invariably shout that their m o v e ment, though nothing but a circle,
is progressing, but rarely b e c o m e
conscious of the f a c t that it is only
the swirling of a noxious pool.
This book, "Reason and E v o l u t i o n "
is not Fundamentalism versus Evolution but is as it suggestfe: Reason
applied to the theory of evolution.
It is a plea f o r refusal to a c c e p t
the statements of biologists without
p r o o f . It aims tio counterbalance the
decidely positive position of tho dogmatic evolutionist.
"This is my car," shouted the irate
motorist to tho garage man, "and
what I say about it goes."
Just then the mechanic crawled
out f r o m under the car and said,
"Say 'engine,' Mister."

p e r o x i d e on it into t h e waste-basket.
W h i l e refilling a b o t t l e of liquid
chemicals, a l i t t l e later, he dropped
some of the liquid into the basket.
W h e n these t w o c o m e in c o n t a c t
w i t h the waste-basket, w h i c h consisted of a cardboard b o x and its
contents, they burst into flames. Seeing this Mr. Butherus seized the flaming box and a t t e m p t e d t o put it out

consumed that it f e l l apart b e f o r e

Mr.
Butherus seized three rubber aprons,
hanging close by, and smothered the
fire.

Sigma Iota Kappa
Re-organized.
Plans f o r the re-organizat4on of the
Sigma Iota Kappa w e r e presented to
the men of South Hall, Thursday evening, O c t o b e r 20, by the house c o m mittee.
The new provisions, which
w e r e adopted by a large majority,
provided f o r the election of a president, a vice-president, a secretary,
and a p r o g r a m c o m m i t t e e of f o u r
members, t h e president to be a m e m ber of the c o m m i t t e e but not the
chairman. T h e t e r m of these officers
will
be
fifteen
weeks,
beginning
October 23.
The r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s
also p r o v i d e that tihe officers shall
be nominated by the house c o m m i t t e e
and e l e c t e d by a m a j o r i t y vote of
the society.
Perhaps one o f the most i m p o r t a n t
innovations is that the programs shall
b e given by inside and outside talent
on alternate weeks. M o r e latitude is
also allowed to the c o m m i t t e e s planning the programs in the matter of
subjects; since meetings are not
limited to the subjects of literature
and social ethics as they were last
year. The house c o m m i t t e e f e l t that
this arrangement would give more
r o o m f o r topics of general interest.
They also f e l t that by having a standing p r o g r a m c o m m i t t e e instead of one
e l e c t e d each week, as has f o r m e r l y
been the practise, more continuity
would be given to the programs.

FRESHMEN REQUIRED
TO ATTEND LECTURES
A series of lectures
containing
instruction and h e l p f u l hints f o r
f r e s h m e n are being given f o r the
first time in Union College this year.
A l l 1927 freshmen, f o r t u n a t e or unf o r t u n a t e being the prevailing question, are required t o attend.
Some
do it willingly, others don't.
" I ' m thankful f o r freshman lectures.
I have received valuable i n f o r m a t i o n
already," one freshman says emphatically.
" I like freshman lectures because
it is one class I don'ti have to study
f o r , " stated one lazy young man.
" I o b j e c t to the requirement which
insists on my taking a course in
freshman lectures. The f r e s h m e n of

These and other remarks are heard
