The McPherson College Natural History Trek is now in the eastern part of the United States. The fol-lowing was copied from "The Jun-atian' and relates the visit of Prof. H. H. Nininger, and his party in Huntington, Pa.
H. H. Nininger. traveling pro-fessor from McPherson College, Kansas. presented an interesting lecture on natural history to an ap-preciative audience in the College "Chapel Saturday evening. He showed some specimens of meteor-ites collected in the states of the Southwest and gave an interesting discussion of meteors and meteor-ites. After this discussion came a series of lantern slides on Carlsbad Cavern, claimed to be the most in-teresting and unusual of its kind in the world. The pictures were scenes taken along scenery so wild and of such grand extent as to awe the beholder with the conception of nature's work. The whole lecture was characterized by a simple, ac-curate and vivid style of address for which Professor Nininger is famous.
The lecturer is a Kansas man, a graduate of McPherson College. Kansas, and Pomona College. California, a former student of Dr. Craik's and is now head of the department of Biology in McPherson College, to which he has brought national re-cognition through the quality of his work. In addition to his work in McPherson College. Professor Nin-inger has taught in LaVerne College, California, the Booking Agricultural School of South Dakota, and in Southwestern University. He was in 1924 President of the Kansas Academy of Science and is now official representative of the National Association of Abdobon Society of New York City and Vice-President of the Kansas Audubon Society. His specialty lies in the fields of ornithology and the study of meteors. He has placed fossils, meteors and geological specimens in various museums throughout the country. The greatest recent contribution has been a collection of fossil trucks from Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, some of them giving entirely new data on the geological history of North America. At present he is touring by automobile in company with his wife and twelve upperclass-men and graduates of McPherson College. Part of the material collect-ed is being used by Professor Nin-inger for his now partly completed report on "The Birds of North America."
During the present trip Professor Nininger spent two weeks working in the Smithsonian Institute and National Museum at Washington, at which he formerly held the position of Economic Entomologist. They came here by way of Gettysburg, arriving at their camp site near the Music building on Friday evening. On leaving here they will join three members of the party now visiting in the East, at Philadelphia, and after some time there the party will proceed to New York City for some work in the American Museum of Natural History. Afterward they intend taking a trip through the New England States for their historical interest before they continue on their way back overland to Kansas. They will have covered thirty-five states in this "Natural History Trek." Always busily engaged in the task of collecting materials and tabulating data on birds, plants, meteorites and various other elements of natural history."

TUESDAY. APRIL 24, 1928
The all school's party two weeks ago was a concrete example of the good will that has been in evidence in our school spirit throughout the year. The school as a whole has become more closely united in its purpose and ideals. Support for the various teams and activities that genial and pleasant. It is with such have been victorious has developed a loyalty that makes the atmosphere a spirit that the best things are accomplished in the best way.
With the same loyalty the spring athletics should be boosted. The tennis and track teams need to be brought out of the slump and attach more victories to their present list. The athletes, to train rigidly, must possess the loyalty that is increasingly developing among us. Their loyalty is manifested by their sacrifice of immediate pleasures for. future attainment.
Such is not only the athlete. Every student, to exhibit a true loyalty, sacrifices in some measure to attain his fullest development, and thus make his contribution to the quality school.
The chapel fund campaign exhibited another expression of loyalty. The response of the student body indicated an appreciation for the Alma Mater and a desire for her advance-ment. With this spirit here the thing before us is to retain it and see that it grows. It points toward progress and a quality school.
The Deputation Teams which have been making trips to the various churches in the district gave a short program Wednesday evening at 7:30, in the College Chapel. The program consisted of the following numbers taken from the programs of four teams:

A JAPANESE STUDENT
ON THE HORSE
A Japanese student recently turn-ed in the following composition on “The Horse:"
"The horse is a very nice noble quadruped but when he is angry he will not do so. He is ridden on the
spinal cord by the bridle, and sadly the driver places its foots on the stirrup and divides his limbs across the saddle. He has a long mouth, and his head is attached to the protuder-ence called the neck. He has four legs. Two are in front and two arc afterwards. These are the weapons
on which he runs and also defends himself by extending those in the rear in a parallel direction toward the foe. But this does only when in a vexatious mood. His fooding is grasses and grains. He is also useful to take on the back a man, or a woman or other cargo. He has pow-er to run as fast as he could. He has got no sleep at daytime, but always standing awaken. Also there are
horse of short sizes. They do the same thing as the others are generally doing. No sooner they see the guardian or master they always cry for fooding. But it is always in the morning time. They have got tall, But not so long as the cow'—EX
Early last Friday morning sixty five freshman chemistry students. accompanied by Dr. I. Willard Her-shey, motored on their annual in-dustrial tour. For a number of years Dr. Hershey has taken his freshman chemistry classes to Hutchinson to visit industries where chemistry plays a part. Experienced men conducted the sight seers through the visited plants and explained in every detail. Many points which class room work
could not cover were emphasized in
this view of applied chemistry.
The tour required the entire day. The paper mills, Kelly Flour Mills, Carey Salt Mines and plant, Smith Bakery, and Candy factory were vis-ited. The State Industrial Reforma-tory was also on the list.
Dr. Hershey has always stressed the practical side of chemistry in his lectures. The class room has not always afforded him the best op-portunity to do this. Dr. Hershey's experience of visiting industries where chemistry is used has proven so successful that it has become an annual event. In visiting these plants and their laboratories, the young chemist forms a more con-crete idea of what his year of theo-retical study has taught.
CECILIAN MUSIC CLUB
TO GIVE SLIDES
Lantern slide lecture on music in Modern Life will be one feature of the Cecilian Music Society pro-gram Wednesday evening at 7:30 Records of selection from the Min-neapolis Orchestra Concert will be played. This program is open to everyone but a nominal admission of ten cents will be charged. Don't miss this rare opportunity.
A crew of McPherson college seniors have been busy all of this week building the frames for the scenery to be used in the presentation of Channing Polock's famous play , “The Enemy", the evening of May 22. as their annual class offering.
The frames, which were made from the plans used in the original New York production were completed to-day and next week they will be cov-ered with cloth and gotten ready for the scenic artist who will work from a set of photographs of the orig-inal scenery. Some idea of the amount of work and expense in con-nection with the effort to give this play the proper staging when pro-duced at the new auditorium can be gained when it is known that ap-proximately 1,700 linear feet of lumber and 225 yards of cloth are being used. This means there will be 2,225 square feet of cloth to be painted.
While this is being done other groups are working on electrical and mechanical effects, doing research work in connection with costumes and in arranging for the scoring of the proper properties.
DR. HERSHEY ENTERTAINS
CHEMISTRY STUDENTS
On the fourth floor of the science building was a scene of merriment Saturday evening when members of the Chemistry club assembled there as Dr. Hershey's guests.
The room was cleverly decorated in red and white.
Twenty questions, whose answers "everyone should know," caused much mirth and when tables were arranged for "Rook'’ everyone was in the best of humor.
The evening passed quickly and at ten o'clock refreshments consisting of pineapple sherbet and white cake were served.

PROF. BLAIR ENTERTAINS
SCHOOL AD CLASSES
Members of the McPherson Col-lege School Administration class ex-perienced genuine “old-time" hos-pitality last Friday evening. The occasion was a party for the class, given by Prof. and Mrs. J. A Blair and family in their home at 221 N. Maxwell Street.
Upon arrival, the guests were es-corted upstairs by the children, and there they laid aside their wraps.
The evening slipped all too quick-ly away. Not a dull moment intruded. After two hours of simple and very entertaining games, Mrs. Blair served ice-cream with wafers and candy. Before departing, all sang the college song.
The guests present were Arlene Saylor, Lena Beaver, Floy Brown, Arian Brigham, Ruth Bish, Anna Mae Strickler, Jewel Newton, Davisson, Leona Nyquist, Mrs. R. W. Nininger, and R. W. Nininger, Jesse Carney, Lawrence Burnhart.

Parks placed second for Salina and Fasnacht thirds for McPherson.
Isaacson, with a line of 23.2 finished at the head, in the 220 yard dash, of Puckett and Hochstrasser of McPherson.
"Berries" Crist was unable to hold the lead in the home strech of the two-mile and Hays of Wesleyan copped the event in 10:51. Hardesty, Coyote, made an unnecessary spring in his finish for third.
Rheinhardt. Wesleyan, took the last first event away from Isaacson when he carried off the discus honors. Isaacson took the second place and Rock, McPherson, third.
courage its use in certain situations.
Legislation was adopted to combat two phases of stalling but it was considered unwise to penalize or restrict “freezing of the ball" to protect a lead.
To prevent a tall player from tap-ping the ball and catching it several times in succession, thus keeping the ball out of play. It was voted that on a jump ball, the same player may not tap the ball and catch it twice in succession. The second phase of stalling covered was that involving the closely-guarded player withholding the ball from play. Such a player is to be considered AA withholding the ball as soon as the officials decide he is making no apparent effort to put the ball into play. Officials then will declare the ball held.
The rules, committee's deliberations were preceded by a meeting of the officials committee which elected Dan Daugherty of Pittsburgh and H. B. Reynolds of Chicago to represent the arbiters in the joint meeting. The rules body then elected Daughtry and Reynolds to regular membership for the ensuing year.
( By the Associated Press)
New York, April 23—Deciding that the regulations of the game needed no drastic revisions, the joint basket ball rules committee ended a 2-day session here Saturday night after adopting only a few minor changes in the code.
The changes to the code were relatively unimportant, consisting principally or alterations in the wording of a few of the rules to make them easier of interpretation.
The committee's rulings govern practically all basket ball played in this country, both amateur and professional. Its membership includes representatives of the Y. M. C. A., and the Amateur Athletic Union Association.
L. M. St. John of Ohio State, was elected chairman of the committee; Ralph Morgan, University of Pennsylvania, vice-chairman. George T. Hep-born. A. A. U., secretary; A. E.. Metz-dorf, Rochester, N. Y., treasurer and Oswald Tower, Andover, Mass., editor.
The committee rescinded its action, taken last year but never placed in effect, by which the dribble would have been restricted to one bounce. A storm of protest arose from various sections of the country after the committee had made the change at last year's meeting. Later it was decided to defer the action for one year.
Although the rate was rescinded, the committee plans to aid officials in ruling upon the dribble and to dis-
