TUESDAY. DEC. 6, 1927
Prof. Blair Acts As Toastmaster —Dr. Quantius Speaks On Sportsmanship
Orchestra, Gay Decorations, And Lighting Effects Lent To The Spirit Of The Occasion
The most distinctive social event or the year was given by the Mc-Pherson College "M" club last Friday evening at 6:30 P. M. in Science Hall. The college lettermen entertained their lady friends with a semi-formal banquet.
Small tables were set for four. Red carnations were used as indi-vidual center pieces. The banquet hall was tastefully decorated with colored streamers and flowers. Lighted candles lent an additional charm.
The gaiety began as the orchestra played and the guests entered the banquet hall. A delightful three course dinner was served by the domestic science class.
Professor Blair, the toast-master, cleverly directed the events of the evening, first introducing Dr. L. F. Quantius who spoke on Sportsman-ship.
President Schwalm inspired those present with the responsibilities of the "M" club. His subject being "The M Club and College Objectives."
Paul '"Si” Sargent, assistant foot-
ball coach, told the meaning of the
letter "M".
The last speaker, Captain Crum-parker, spoke briefly upon "The "M" and What It Means To Me."

VOLLEY BALL SEASON OPENS
The first valley ball practice sponsored by the W. A A was, held Thursday evening in the gymna-sium. The fact that thirty-five girls are going out for the sports indicates unusual interest. Volley ball was introduced here for girls last year and is, in a sense, a new sport

Will Continue His Studies At Chicago
At a meeting of the Executive Board of McPherson College. Thursday night, Dec. 1, Prof C. B. Williams, of the English department, was granted leave of absence for the second semester of the school year 1927-28. Williams had requested leave of absence in order that he might begin studies leading to a degree at the University of Chicago.
Prof Williams now has the degrees of B. S. and M. S. in the School of Science and Literature of Oklahoma A. and M. college. For some time he has been contemplating going to Chicago to do work in a large institution especially fitted for stu-dies in the English language and lit-erature.
By beginning early in the calen -dar year, Prof. Williams hopes to complete three quarters of work by September of 1928. This corres-ponds to one regular school year at the University of Chicago, where the quarter of twelve weeks is the unit.
It is announced that in the ab-sence of Prof. Williams, all Eng-lish courses for the second semester will be given by Miss McGaffey, Miss Lehman, and Pres. Schwalm.
DR. SCHWALM VISITS DR. SHARP
Dr. Schwalm visits Dr. Sharp
Dr. V. F. Schwalm, president of McPherson College, visited with Dr. S. Z. Sharp, the first president of McPherson College, while he was at Fruita, Colorado, attending the Dis-trict Meeting of Western Colorado. Dr. Sharp lives at Fruita. He is ninety years old and is still active and in good health. He expressed a determination to go to the Annual conference to be held in Cali-fornia next year.

There was a mad rush down, Eu-clid Street. The people who lived within two blocks of the street came running to see what terrible things had happened. At first it was thought that the students had revolted and were leaving school but this idea was soon suppressed when it was seen that the students faces were serious instead of happy as they should have been if they were
leaving the school.
The college bus was bringing up the rear and picking up the stu-dents who had been injured or tramp-ed down in the rush. Among the casualties were listed six upper
classmen as well as twenty-seven freshman. It was a crime the way these upper classmen were walked

Miss Lehman To Give Cutting From “Ramona"
Irhe, Spohn, Hays And Frantz Make Varsity Team--Twelve Try Out
Hall And Lehman Were Chosen As Alternates—Couch Hess Well Satisfied With Decision
The men's debate tryouts were held Wednesday evening at 6:30 in the auditorium. The question was "Resolved that the foreign policy of the United States in Latin-Ameri-ca should be condemned.'' Those upholding the affirmative were Ralph Landes, Henry Hall, Philip Spohn, Charles Collins, Lloyd Diggs and Keith Hayes. The negative side was taken by Fred Perry, Merlin Hoover, Ira Ihde, Ralph Frantz, Oliver Ikenberry, and Lawrence Lehman.
The judges chose Idhe, Frantz, Hayes, and Spohn as the varsity de-baters with Hall and Lehman as alternates.
McPherson College debaters have won the state championship for the last two years and Prof. Hess states that he believes that there is material for a real team in the members chosen and hopes to have another successful season.
The Judges were Professors C. B. Williams, Edith McGaffey and J. D. Bright.

MOB ATTACKS TOWN

At the theatre the night before the students had come face to face with the fact that there was but nineteen days left to do their Christ-mas shopping and that they would have to hurry in order to get it done before the last minute rush. The students put in all night and morn-ing trying to fill their lists. The result was that the class attend-ance and recitation the next day were so poor that the faculty dismissed school after chapel to give the stu-dents the rest of the day to buy their lists.
The serious faces which wre re-vealed by the mob which rescued up town after chapel showed up town after chapel allowed that that the students had the real Christ-mas spirit and realized rhe shop-ping was not all play. After they got to town, about half of the crowd went in stores and started to do there shopping while the other half wandered up and down the street, win dow shopping. There was two direct causes for window shopping among the students. First, there were some students who had not yet filled out their lists and so took this method
Miss Della Lehman, head of the Public Speaking, department of the college will give a cutting from "Ramona”, an Indian tale, Thursday evening, in the chapel at 7:45. This is an evening program, given in cos-tume, that Miss Lehman has made from the book and one that she has, given several times.
This is the first of a number of that are to be given under the auspices of the Thespian Club and it is hoped that the students will support the club in its endeav-or to encourage dramatic in the school activities this year.
There will be an admission of 25 cents to students and 35 cents to adult, and the proceeds will be used to purchase equipment for the dra-matic departments of the school
INITIATIVE
The world bestows its big prizes, both in money and honors, for but one thing and that is initiative. What is Initiative? I"ll tell you: It is doing the right thing without be-ing told. But next to doing the thing without being told is to do it
when you are told once. That is to say, carry the Message to Garcia: those who never do a thing until they are told twice: such got no high honors, but their pay is not always in proportion. Next there are those who can carry a message get honors and small pay. Next there are those who do the right thing only when necessity kicks them from behind and these got indifference in stead of honors, and a pittance for pya. This kind spends most of its
time polishing a bench with a hard luck story. Then still lower down in the scale than this, we have the fellow who will not do the right thing even when some one goes along to show him how and stays to see that he does it: he is always out of a job, and receives the contempt he deserves, unless he happens to have a rich pa, in which case destiny pa-tiently awaits around the corner with a stuffed club.

After about two hours of wander-ing and hunting around it was not-ed that Cheesy Voran was setting, on the curb thinking desperately when Philippi walked up to him and told him to watch his step as he already had his feet in the gutter. Upon being asked what he was think-
ing about Cheesey threw up his hands and said that he had been trying to figure out how he could buy a top coat for his dad which would fit him also (you see Cheesy is about eight inches taller than his father) for he wanted to wear it back after Christmas vacation.
Cheesy at last solved his problem by writing a letter to Santa Claus telling him that he wanted a new top coat. It was later discovered that his room-mate mailed the letter after putting Cheesy's fathers ad-dress upon it. He would have told Cheesy but he hated to break Cheesey's faith in Santa Claus.

The Spectator staff is holding a mythical reunion banquet at the Town Tavern next Friday evening at 7:30 P M. December 9, 1950.
At no time in history have so many notorious journalists been gather-ed in one group. Leading the pro-gram is W. J. Krehbiel, internationally known editor of the McPherson Republican Miss Edith Haight, the most prominent woman journalist in the world, will give her views on the college newspaper.
Dr. Cecil B. Williams of McPher-son University will act as master of ceremonies. Other well known jour-nalists will have a part in the pro-gram.
Dr. Schwalm Attends Colorado Conference
The presence of Dr. V. F. Sch-walm, president of McPherson Col-loge, at the District Meeting of Western Colorado hold at Fruita, Nov. 24 to 27, corrected many false impressions that people there had of McPherson College.
Miss Mayme King, an alumnus of McPherson College, who is teaching in Fruita in a letter to Miss Mariet in Byerly, instructor of home econo-mics, said that Dr. Schwalm made a very favorable impression on the people at the conference. They were
impressed with his sincerity, and the enthusiasm for McPherson College was greatly increased by his visit.
While in Fruita Dr. Schwalm made six addresses and conducted one conference for young people. He also preached at a union ser-vice of the churches on Sunday evening.
By visiting a number of places of interest in the Rocky Mountains, Dr. Schwalm made this trip one of
pleasure as well as one of business. He returned to McPherson Tuesday November 29. During the vacation he covered distance of fifteen

That night at eleven o'clock Bill Hanna came into the dorm with a big smile caressing his late. When a long faced freshman (he had tried to fill out a list for all the upper classmen, for someone had told him that it was a custom for the fresh-men to give all the upper classmen presents) asked him why he was so happy he said that he had just had a great load taken off of his mind. The freshman first thought that someone had stolen Bill's cap but as Bill proceeded with the story he found that his supposition must have been wrong. Bill said he had stood in front of Penney's for nine hours trying to figure out which doll he should get for his little sister but at eleven, the night watchman came along to turn of the lights and asked Bill what he was looking at. Bill told his story to the night watchman who pointed out that all the dolls were marked sold so he could not buy any. Bill heaved a sigh of relief and walked on down the ball
Nearly 400 Fathers And Sons Hear A. A. Hyde And W. L Hutcherson
D. B. Malthy Acted As Toastmaster And Clarence Burkholder Led Guests In Songs
The men of McPherson hold their annual Father and Son Banquet at the Brethren Church on Friday evening, December 2, at 6:30 p. m. D. R. Maltby acted as toastmaster, and Clarence Burkholder led, the guests in singing peppy songs. The outstanding speakers of the occasion were A. A. Hyde, the Men-tholatum King," and W. L. Hutcher-son, State Y. M. C. A. lecturer, both of Wichita. There were 386 fathers and sons at the banquet.
W. L. Hutcherson was the first, speaker of the evening. Hutcherson said that he couldn't see why they would want such a man as he, unless it was to lend a little color to the occasion." He spoke on the subject of “World Brotherhood". He told of a number of experiences he had met in Y. M. C. A. work, trying to get men and boys to see beyond their little community of interest. Into the great world of humanity, He also related instances where the world feeling had been created among
the boys.
The next speaker was A. A. Hyde, regarded as a philanthropist —and out of the greatest Christian layman in America. He is a man of near-ly eighty years, and McPherson people considered it a privilege to live a man like A. A. Hyde to come to our city speak at a banquet. Mr. Hyde gave his hearers a mes-sage from the bottom of his heart
of love for his fellow men. He wants peace and brotherhood among all men. He also related his ex-perience as the father of six sons. He was companion and a counselor for these boys. He said, “To come in the end of life and feet that the journey had been well spent is the greatest that could come to a man."
The contribution of W. B. Yeats to literature was discussed by Prof. C. B. Williams at the secont litera-ture appreciation meeting held in Miss McGaffey's classroom at 4:30 Friday afternoon. Fifteen students interested in literature were pres-ent.
“Yeat's was a typical Irish," said Williams. His works have something of the faery quality which is characteristic of the Irish people. He depicts the lark of foresight of the Irish and their love of fighting
The chief contribution of Yeats was in the field of the drama, according to Williams. He was counseled with the establishment of the Irish Theatre. His outstanding plays men-tioned were “Countess Kathleen". "The Land of Heart's Desire", “The Shadowy Waters" "The Hourglass". “The Colcorn from the Stars" Of Yeats verse Williams read ”The Wild Swans of Coole.”
Williams read excerpts from sev-eral plays which he chose for their imagery and beauty of expression. He spent the last hull of the hour in reading the play, “Deirdre", which is Yeats version of the tragic love affair of the beautiful Dairdre who is something of an epic figure in Irish literature.

"Yes university courses, univers-ty life would be more of an education."
Such remarks very frequently heard might lead one to believe that university instrict ion is the path leading to all knowledge.
Careful consideration will not allow the maintenance of the theory. The small college is less like a fac-tory, giving opportunities for expression of individuality, and intimate contact with instructors. Mas congregation of large numbers of students makes each individual a part of a herd.
Students in large institutions sep-arate into small cliques and groups. Wide acquaintanceship is desirable and possible in a small school. This personal contract with other students is a vital part of a college education. Opportunity for participation in college activities is a great advantage of a small college. A small col-lege offers this development to several out of a hundred. Whereas, in a university, only a few out of a thousand lake part in activities.
When the small college has the equipment and professors in propor-tion to the number of students that the larger institutions has, we can not dogmatically say that our advantages are not as great as theirs — Stylus. Park college, Mo.
The student body or the State Junior College at Douglas, Ga., is doing most of the work on the new dining hall being erected there. The students even made the bricks.
A new ruling has been passed at Northwestern University that all dates must be in at 12:30 sharp.
Year before last the date rule was placed at 11:30 at Oklahoma A. & M. but this year the girls petitioned for 10:30. "They got too sleepy" was the excuse.
"Reading is to the mind what ex-ercise is to the body. As by the one health is preserved, strengthened and invigorated, so by the other virtue, which is the health of the mind, is kept alive, cherished and confirmed."
So wrote Addison long years ago, and the analogy is equally fitting today. A disregard for the truth in either field brings its dire results. Neglect of gymnastics, mental as well as physical, invariably produces the sluggard.
Too many of us who long for the companionship which can be found only in the pages of a book, deny our-selves this pleasure. Later, after have attended to business and established ourselves in a financial and social way, we expect to turn to matters more "cultural". But that time may never come. If it does we may learn, as have many before us, that our brain con no longer behold the hidden beauty. Then, saddest of all facts. It will be too late to make it a-part of us.
There is no time so opportune as the present; none so rich with possi-bility. No matter how poor we are, no matter how busy we are, we should enrich the experiences 0f each day with the more subtle sent-ments of literature. Finding time
is largely a matter of apportioning properly the time at one's disposal, and we shall never begrudge the minutes thus spent,
After all, the problem is not one of time. A few minutes daily will suffice; Just enough to create the: reading habit. The major problem is the development of taste the ability to distinguish between the trivial and the worth while.
This can come only after continuous exploration of the masters."

The
Firing Line
This column is provided for the expression of opinion by any student or faculty member of McPherson College. All articles published must be signed by the writer. “The Firing Line” has no connection with the editorial column.
LISTEN MY CHILDREN!
To my understanding the Firing Line is provided for the expression of opinion by students and faculty members. Professor Williams n explaining the purpose of the Firing Line stated: "This column, which In the future is to be known as "The Firing Line”, is for those persons who can see from their particular vantage points that some things as they are, are not the same as things as they should be."
I therefore take advantage of this opportunity In expressing a few of the faults of our school system as I see them through my eyes. In the first place I think the students should be looked upon as ladies and gentlemen, which at least the majority of the students are. I think that the opinion and thoughts of a majority of the students should be respected in most cases. I also think there should be more of a spirit of fellowship between the town students and the dorm students, and between the hill and the town."
"Why Buy a Quad—because it will cost you more later, you want the pictures of people and campus views now, you want one to show your children, and it helps to advertise your college,” are the reasonss suggested by Prof, Mohler.
“Chessey" Voran the editor of this years Quad, says that the annual was formerly named "The Dandelion”, then changed to ”M. C. Spirit ”, and finally "quadrangle" was adopted. The name applies to the four blocks comprising our campus and the fourfold aspect of campus life which will be stressed in this year's production.
The annual will contain the usual class sections, but the feature divi-sion Is to be enlarged to fourteen pages. A strong athletic section is being planned. Voran assures the students of good looking borders, stating that Prof. Herman Bowen has been chosen art editor.
John Wall, the business manager. in making it pica for early subscriptions explained that forty per cent of the money is spent on engraving and that important reductions are secured with ready cash. In order to stimulate advance payment a popularity contact was inaugurated, the most popular girl to be elected from candidates nominated by the student body. By paying $4.00 down one receives 100 votes for his candidate; 50 votes for $2.00 down, and the balance on delivery.
The candidate* nominated nre June Ellis, Ruth Hiebert,. Arlene Saylor, Dorothy Swain, Arlene Church, and Goldia Goodman.
Prof. Fries read the second chapter of Mark in conducting devotions last Friday. Fries says that we sometimes become so hardened that we shut out now truths. As an ex ample he cited the record of the Pharisees in denying Jesus’ teachings in regard to forgiveness of sins, fasting, and observance of the Sabbath.
When a student reaches college he is supposed to have passed from the elementary schools, so I believe that the tactics used in these insti-tutions should not be used on college students. The rules of our school up to this year have been laid for both an academy and a college. With the abolishing of the academy, the students of the college should not be regulated by rules for children. We have apparently been taken for less than twelve year old children this year for the rules have become stricter and more confining than ever before. I think that it the rules are to be changed at all they should be
changed in such a way that we are recognized as more than grade children or high school students. We may be mentally their equal but we
should have developed a little judg-ment and will power of our own. The
name of the school should be changed to the school for the weak willed. In fact our campus would be the ideal place for such unfortunates. The rule makers seem to think that the girls are too weak willed to study their lessons so they make them stay In every school night but one. If

lacking from our campus. This will be counteracted by the argument that our rules are no stricter than the rules of the universities, but they forget that the universities have sev-eral means of securing a little social life which is prohibited on our cam-ptm. A good example of the frats and the sororities. University life is not a life of confinement or drudge.
I think that the student should be allowed to live his or her life with enough trusted to his judgment that he will at least be able to choose for himself after he has left the intstitu-tion.
I do not believe in mob rule la the crudest sense of the word, but I do not believe that a little paddling is going to give anyone permanent injuries. As a freshman I was surprised and much in favor of seeing a few paddles 0n the campus. I had heard that the school was dead and buried but to me it looked like it had crawled out of its grave and at last the school was going to be allowed to establish a few traditions. But no, the faculty killed it and our all school spirit had crawled back into a hole and died again.
also think that the student
council should not be curbed by the governing bodies until it becomes a joke as it is and always has been. If this school is to be advertised in the catalogue as having a student government system I think that it is time that the student council be gives enough freedom to start functioning.
A few more, all-school socials would do wonders to bring the town and the hill students into a unified body. As a method for doing this, soiUud 1 ‘eimftoqa (lajfln* ■( qora.* that an additional five dollars be added, to the incidental fees and all of it turned over to the student council for putting on not less than four all school socials a semester. If the young people of the town and the hill were brought together it would in time unify the town and the hill. If these faults were remedied, I as a student from town, know that there would be more town-students
attending our college. instead of going away to a school which has some pep. I also know of several students who are talking of not coming back next year if the school keeps going in the direction of nunnery. Some are even talking of leaving after the first semester, for it is too dead to endure. These students are not freaks or sports of some kind but are just human.

Wray Whiteneck went hunting last week-end and got into trouble with the authorities. It was this way, Wray shot a squirrel, and no sooner had he disobeyed the law than an officer stepped from a near by
thicket and arrested him.
In explaining the case to the judge, Wray said the sqlrrel sight-ed him and was making a charge; with characteristic coolness he
dropped the animal just as it was springing.
The judge dismissed the case as an act committed in self-defense.
I was a girl I would be Insulted by such a discrimination against my sex. Some apparently thinks that they can make the girls study more by making a seminary out of the dorm. They ought to station themselves in the parlor for one evening and listen to the girls study anything but lessons. If the girls or boys too, do not went to study they can't forced to do so by rules and strenuous lecutres. Even if a student did study by compulsion he would not get as much out of tt as he would If he studied it on his own accord.
We are treated as though we were too small to think for ourselves or too ignorant to absorb any of the philosophy of life which we have been taught or have witnessed. A person should also realise that being a book worm is not the ambition of the average healthy boy or girl. A book worm has very little personality at least not so much or the kind that a real student desires. A de-sirable personality is not obtained entirely from books, for the desirable part or the human element in ones personality is derived through fellowship, which is very strangely

After College—What?
Topeka Journal: With the ranks of the teaching profession always badly crowded. 1,025 other recruits have announced that they are eager in eater the profession as soon as they have finished their college training.
Or the total enrollment at the University of Kansas, approximately one-fourth of the students would be teachers, reveals the University Daily Kansan in a story based on figures in registrar's office. Each student at the university was required to state his or her choice of vocations. The tabulated results are interesting.
Those planning to be teachers total 1,025, of which amount 850 are women. The number of women students at K. U. is 1,516, which proves conclusively that less than half the women go to colleges for matrimonial reasons, as commonly supposed.
With one-fourth, of the annual output of a large university desirous of becoming teachers, there appears to be little immediate danger of a teacher shortage.
Why do so many desire to teach? The service-to-mankind plea may be eliminated as superfeous. Do these men and women thing a teachers-hours are sbort; that it's an easy matter to instruct the younger gen-eration; that the pay generally is good at the start (for a college graduate); or that teaching is an ideal life work? Do they reason on the matter or is it merely the line of least resistance?
The field of religion offers an interesting contrast to education. Of the total enrollment at K. U.. only eighteen men and women plan to enter religious work. One woman and three men would became mis-sionaries while fourteen men desire to be ministers.
Mixed in between the two ex-tremes are many professions. Some are the usual sort of thing; others are seldom heard of.
Only ten women admit that they will become homemakers. Two men will become farmers.
Which proves that the homo and the farm need something to make them more attractive to college graduates.
The freshman women at the University of Texas are limited to three dates a week.
NEW CHEMICAL ACHIEVEMENTS Chem. Club Topic
At least twenty ways to make a million dollars were learned by those who attended the Chemistry Club meeting last Thursday afternoon.
"Within the heart of the Earth." stated Clark Brumbaugh, “It is
highly probable that radium, plati-num, gold, and silver exist in vast quantities. The problem, is to ex- tract them."
"Physiological chemists have discovered new ways to control heart disease." reported Eugene Kistner. This field is a new branch in chemical research.
At last there is hope for the dorm, students! Miss Burgin told a very skeptical group of young chemists that manufacturing methods for oleo had been so improved that it could not be distinguished from the dairy product.
A million dollars la awaiting the chemist who perfects a method of producing gasoline from coal. Lloyd Johnson presented figures allowing that the product could be produced for three cents a gallon.
"Horses with sore feet, fallen arches, and bunions are a thing of the past," stated Ralph Frantz. "Chemist have developed a new form of rubber which is being us- , ed in the manufacture of ready to wear rubber shoes for tired horses and mules."
Ruth Trostle pointed out an unexplored field for the chemist. It is
believed by some scientist that this earth is capable of supporting 8,000,000,000 people if the chemist of the future can produce synthetic foods.
Miss Maria Leonard, Dean of Worars at the University of Illinois, offers the following ten command-ments of health:
1. Eat less, chew more.
2. Ride less, walk more.
J. Clothe less, bathe more.
4. Worry less, work more.
5. Idle less, play more.
S. Talk less, think more.
7, Go less, sleep more.
8, Waste less, give more.
9. Scold loss, laugh more.
10. Preach less, practice more.
Trifles make perfection, but per-fection is no trifle.
GRADES
Idealistic Grading F stands for Flawless And things that are good.
My card contains these As flawless cards should.
I means indispensable,
So you can tell.
As a student in college;
I am doing quite well.
D stands for Dundy As you must know;
I have three on my grade card.
All in a row.
C stands for Cannie And I must agree,
There are few in this college As cannie as me.
B stands for Bother And things that are bad;
There are none on my grade card. For this I am glad.
A stands for Abnormal And things, under par;
Now I have none of these,
My record to mar.

"BOARDING HOUSE" GANG PARTY
an evening off when "Grandma" Batchelor and ’‘Mamma’* Legman staged a clever party at the Harnly home last Wednesday evening. Every one of the "gang" was there, "Pop” McGonigle. Pop's Pet Kingsley. “Baby" Murray, Little Bud, Bobbie Earl, Ron, Web and “Grand-
pop” Williams, who came late.
The art of pulling taffy was fully profounded by the elders members of the family and the youngsters tried burning their fingers Or getting them sticky. Pulling until their muscles gave out or until the candy became white, the family made the taffy. Although Bobbie Earl and Grandpa could never discover why theirs didn't get white, we found out they forgot to wash beforehand.
Returning to the gaming tables we played another game, (supposedly Invented by one of our professors), "Pig". Thin caused such excitement that It would be unfair to tell to whom the title was conferred, at least we haven't the nerve.
At a good time the family express-ed their gratitude to Mom and Grandma, and add their good byes to Grandma—and Grandpa, who remained behind—-wonder why? We do too, but it isn't polite to guess.
Hear Miss Lehman in recital. Thursday evening at 6:30.
