An Extensive Social Program Is Not Sufficient Purpose To Justify Existence of the Student.

THE TALK OF THE COLLEGE

"The task of the college is to train the student in body, mind, and spirit to become efficient leaders." President V. F. Schwalm's chapel talk Monday was an invitation to the students to cooperate with the insti-tution in performing this task for them. The institution cannot edu-cate students. The very best it can do is to offer them the opportunity to get an education for themselves. College is a place for the student to learn and grow.

Charles W. Elliott was quouted “the greatest motivation for college work in the vocational drive." Dr. Schwalm therefore urged the students to have a purpose and to work for its ac-complishment. Lack of purpose is a light to the life of a college student. The president advised that an ex-tensive social program was not a suf-ficient purpose to justify the exis-tence of the student.

There are several evil tendencies which may accompany such a pro-

gram. In the first place, society plays about half of every college stu-dent's expenses when it provides the institution and equipment. Unless he makes the best use of his time.

the student is not playing square with society.

In the second place, an extensive social program requires an expendi-ture of money. In most cases the hard-working parents supply it. They have a right to demand that their money be well spent.

Again, physical deterioration often accompanies such a program. Late hours are a detriment to health, es-pecially if kept night after night. The last evil mentioned is that it takes the students too far from the

MEMORIAL PROGRAM GIVEN IN CHAPEL TUESDAY EVENING

A memorial program in honor of Franz Schubert was given in the col-lege chapel last Tuesday evening un

der the suspices of the Cecilian Mu-sic club. The club sponsored this program in keeping with national observance of the centennial of Schubert's death

The main feature of this program was an illustrated lecture. "Pictorial Biography of Schubert". by Orion High.

Miss Dorothy Linholm played a piano solo, "Hark, Hark, the Lark", by Schubert. A quartette, the Miss-es Thelma Budge and Dorothy Swain and Herbert Eby and Orion High played Schubert's "Serenade".

THESPIAN PRESENT PLAYS IN CHAPEL MONDAY

ALL ONE ACT PLAYS

The usual quality of drama pro-duction by the Thespian club was witnessed last Monday night. Novem-ber 19, in the college chapel when the members of the Thespian club and the advanced expression class presented “The Teeth of the Gift Horse. ” by Margaret Cameron and "Thursday Evening by Christopher Morley, both comedies and "The Conflict" by Clarice Valetta McCauley, a dramatic presentation, all one act plays Miss Della Lehman, instructor in dramatics directed the productions.

Dick and Florence characterized by John Lehman and Miss Dorothy Swain. Just after her wedding gift to the couple had been sent to the rummage sale. The Irish maid, in the person of Miss Chester Carter, and two friends, Evelyn Blake and Ann Wil-liams played by Misses Mary Lou Williams and Lois Dell make the situation more tense but eventually smooth things over and at last aid in locating and returning the gift.

Mother-in-law situations as usual-ly portrayed were reversed in “Thursday Evening," when the

Once again we approach the tur-key season, and also the great and famous turkey game with our flax-en-haired neighbors toward the polar star. As every astronomer knows the polar star is unmovable and fixed in its position. The Swedes are not so invulnerable as they are capable of being moved forcibly from their orbit by the special type of gravity known as the Bulldogs.

For eleven months of the year we are friendly with members of Beth-any, but for one month, during the turkey season, we become rather hostile and so do they—-but with every good reason to do so. In fact there are eleven such reasons, known collectively as the Bulldogs. In the face of all this it becomes necessary to coin a slogan which shows our willingness to “beat them at their own game”—so now "Beat the Swedes" is on the tongues of everyone. In going up steps "Beat the Swedes" hits one between the eyes in glaring red and white letters. Arnold Hall has a sign on its front which would do credit to the

STUDENT VOLUNTEER GROUP IN CONVENTION

MEET ON COLLEGE CAMPUS

Delegates From Southwestern Mis-

Delegates of the Student Volunteer groups of southwestern Missouri and Kansas met in a convention on the McPherson college campus Sat-urday and Sunday. November 24 and 25. Students from Parks col-lege, Parksville, Missouri; Bethel college, Newton, Kansas. Tabor col-lege, Hillsboro, Kansas; Bethany college, Lindsborg, Kansas; and

Central college, McPherson, Kansas; besides a number from McPherson college attended the conference. Speakers from India and the Philip-pine Islands besides those from Kan-sas and the neighboring states con-tributed many thoughts for the de-liberation and action of the group.

A series of meetings began with a morning watch worship at nine o'clock Saturday morning under the leadership of Miss Dorothy Vesper of Bethel college. The main point of the discussion was "Would We Follow Jesus?” Miss Vesper con-trasted the richness of the life of St. Paul who struggled and died for others with the meagreness of the life of Methusalah who chose the way of least resistance. She remembered further that heathen are saying "We want your christ, but not your Christianity" a statement which challenges Christian young people to better service.

The strain of uselessness is the greatest strain any organisation can stand; whereas, knowledge of use-

"Beat the Swedes" instead of eating, ent." One morning everyone yelled and when pep makes everyone forget to eat then it is rather strong. We even had Kellogg's "Pep" for breakfast-- so we have pep inside and out. We have "Beat the Swedes" for three meals a day, but for once it does not get stale. If the times could be counted which "Beat the Swedes'' has been uttered in the last two weeks, it would make a string which would reach around the world sixteen times.

Seriously, however, we think M. C. is showing good sportsmanship and that the Swedes are doing like-wise. In the crucial struggle on Thanksgiving Day we hope this sportsmanship will again make its appearance and may the best man win. That "best man" is going to be the Bulldogs and they are going to completely annihilate the Swedes so badly that they will not be able to drink coffee for the rest of thee school year.

SENIORS LOSE GAME TO TO MIGHTY FRESHMEN

FRESHMEN 19,. SENIORS 0

Seniors Accepted Challenge Of Fresh-

Friday morning in chapel the president of the senior clsss accepted the football challenge made by the freshmen class, and as the result the dignified seniors are in possession of a 19 to 9 defeat.

The game was formerly to be played between the freshmen and sophomores, but due to insufficient reasons the sophomores were unable to play The juniors were then challenged, but could not muster the courage and said yes.

Friday afternoon both teams con-vened on the fair around field. When the Seniors had taken talley of their men they could only find ten. The Freshmen were wild and ready to go, so the seniors started the game with ten men.

Johnathon kicked off for the fresh-ies. Due to a little interference on the part of the seniors, no scores were made in the first quarter. The second period had been in progress but a minute or so when the seniors' ten men were strengthened by an eleventh. It was probable a good thing that he arrived as soon as he did, for the seniors were growing

Probably the most exciting period of the game was beginning of the second half. Robert E. Pocket made

his first tackle. Joseph Yoder tried to pulvarizze an unwary freshman, and many other starring feats top numerous to mention.

Promiscuously decorating the lat-est Swede speciman of journalistic effort wer elines of "Beat Ye Mc-Pherson Hound Dog!" Of course one can not expect too much discern-ment from the Scandinavians on canine matters, but for defiant, staunch, tenacious, and sturdy Bulldogs to be called hound dogs which connotes stinking cowardice suggests impertinence to say the least!

Come on Bulldogs, show the northern neighbors what real hon-est to goodness Bulldogs can do on the field and on the sidelines.

The dope article in this week's "Bethany Messenger" credits the Bulldog eleven with no seniors and but two juniors. Evidently at least two of our first string must have faded into nothingness or else some one was disillusioned.

Since the pep revival of last Tuesday night, there has been no lack of it about. In fact, it seems to be flowing bountifully. Signs, posters,

and effigies of various sort constantly remind us of a momentous battle day after tomorrow.

Every loyal Bulldog realizes his responsibility to keep up the old fight, his duty to attend the Swede game, and his privilege to back the Bulldog eleven.

With the knowledge that the stu-dents are counting on them, it seems more worthwhile for the team to fight with every ounce of energy next Thursday.

With the choice of a standard col-lege pin and ring, another tradition is established at McPherson College. Upon reflection, practically every one

would grant that this step is a de-sirable one. The universities and many denominational collegee sim-ilar to this have already taken such a step.

Much more meaning lies back of a ring or pin than every class for years has worn than one different from any other graduating clans. The fact that all graduates of Mc-Pherson College all over the country will be wearing emblems alike served as an element to bind them together. Each alumni then wears a piece of jewelry with the same sig-

nificance attached and it becomes one of the college traditions which serve to give it a richer heritage and more distinctive features.

fulness is the greatest urge to vibrant being. William Griffin, who led the discussion group which followed morning watch stressed the bigness of the field of service and the necessity for more student volunteers.

Bill Parkinson, Student Volunteer field secretary, declared in a brief review of the status of modern religion that Christianity is on a trial. It is the duty of the Christian student to substantiate the claims of America to her fame as a Christian nation. Mr. Parkinson pointed out the fact that the colleges need individuals with a positive, creative faith: students who are willing to pray incessantly.

Using as his text, 1 Corinthians 13, Rev. Peterson of the Philippine Is-lands led the afternoon session in a discussion of "A Most Excellent Way" bringing out the necessity, the characteristics, the permanence, and the supremacy of the way of Christ.

The evening session was conducted by Dr. Ross of India. His theme was the cal of Jesus and he challenged the delegates with the question "Is there something deeper than conviction? He declared that instead of a philosophy about Jesus in one’s mind he must have the experience of Jesus in his life. The obstacles in the path of life may be used as stepping stones instead of hindrances. They offer opportunities for one to show his strength of character.

Sunday morning, at seven thirty o'clock, the delegates were entertained at a three-course breakfast by the McPherson group. The breakfast was served in the dining room of the Home Economic department and consisted of grape fruit, cereal, muffins and butter, scrambled eggs, toast, and coffee. A great deal of spirit was shown during the meal and peppy songs were sung between

Following breakfast the group met in the Y. W C. A. room for morning watch led by Rev. Peterson. Memories, he said, constitute a large percent of thinking. In connection with this thought he brought out the fact that the work of missionaries is to teach the heathen that there is a new way—to build up new memories.

A number of the delegates at the conference were born in foreign countries, their parents being mis-sionaries, and they plan to return to these countries as missionaries as soon as their educations are sufficiently complete.

The delegates declared the meetings to have been inspirational and expressed their appreciation for the hospitality shown them by their hosts and hostesses.

Professor Hess emphasizes the fact that past achievements will be forgotten and the teams chosen on the basis of ability as shown in the tryout. He thinks this fact should make an interesting series of debates to which he invites all students or others who are interested.

Those who are trying for the chance to give the Swedes some competition to debate are: Ralph Turner, L. Diggs, Lawrence Turner, P. Spohn, G. Myers, C. Zink, R. Frantz. G. Hayes, J. Harnly, O. Whiteneck, Kermit Hayes, Ralph Peterson, Raymond Peterson, Keith Hayes, R. Sjoberg.

Y. M. JUSTIFIES EXISTENCE

"Does the Young Men's Christian Association On the McPherson Col-lege Campus Justify Itself" was the question under discussion at the meeting last Tuesday morning at ten o'clock in society hall of Harn-ly Hall. Roy Frantz, leader, ex-plained that to many the Y. M. C. A. was not necessary and that it did not justify its existence He reviewed the history, analyzed the present, and recommended the future of the organization.

James Elrod spoke on "Some Things Our Y. M. C. A. has accom-plished In the Past". He maintained that its existence has been justified in the development of the four-fold life of the students. The associa-tion has been responsible for bringing to the campus such speakers as Kirby Page and Dad Elliot. As a friend to every man on the campus, the Y. M is the first to welcome the new student and to help him to adjust himself to his new environment.

Answer to the question, "What Can I Do to Help My Y. M C. A. Justify Its Existence. " was made by Leland Lindell. Things he enumerated included being a member, par-ticipation in programs, service, and cooperation with fellow men.

Warren Sisler, president of the as-sociation. handled the subject. "Things I Can Do In the Future to Help My Y. M. C. A Justify Its Ex-istence.

MASS MEETING THURSDAY

Not unlike the brewing of a storm was the student attitude toward the "Swede*' game. It gathered force as it went until it burst out in a riot of pep last Thursday morning in the weekly "vim rouser. " The storm is still raging] and is expected to reach its height Thursday afternoon. No-

The main feature of the program were: the upsetting of the "dope" ing, pledging allegiance to the squad on the part of the rest of the stu-dent body, promising to be true to rules on the part of the members of the squad, and a tribute to the football men.

To the rhythmic strains of familiar pep songs played by the pep or-chestra under the leadership of Max

Conner, the students assembled in the chapel seven days before the big "Turkey day" game for the purpose of absorbing and radiating that in-tangible "something" called pep.

Lusty yelling, hearty applause, and whole-hearted singing showed that the true Bulldog spirit was aroused in the hearts of students.

Self-confidence shone in every face of the fair-headed representatives as their captain placed before them the dope jugs hearing the inscription "Swedes to Victory". However, after having given a few cheers, the jug was upset and the "Swedes” fled in terror.

The football men were then called in the stage and the Spirit of Mc-Pherson college, in the person of Roy Frantz, asked the student body to pledge loyalty to them through

thick or thin. To this there was a hearty response. The members of the squad then pledged allegiance to the rules of the game and M. C. 's standards.

Another outburst of enthusiasm swept over the crowd and found ex-pression in singing and yelling. "Jack" Lehman, notorious for his self-conscious modesty, delivered an address in honor of the football heroes. After many digressions he reached his main point "The Bull-dog Line Won't Give. "

THE CANINES READY TO INVADE THE VIKING CAMPUS

According to Coach Gardner the team is in as good form as they have been at any time this football sea-son. Though dope. if that means anything certain in the pigskin world, seems to favor the Swedes the Bulldogs have been shapening their fangs for this final scrap. There is no misapprehension on the part of the Bulldogs. They expect to go against a stiff team this Turkey day. They also expect to play a game far surperior to anything they have played this season. With the rest they have had since the last game, the perfection that has seemed to come out in the last few days of practice, the strict observance of training rules and the pep worked up by the rivalry tbe fans of McPherson and the surrounding coun-try are expecting to see a hard fought game.

Though the pep on the campus is finding its expression every day we believe there is no false psychology being talked. The boys and the student body seemed to be confident of the rally that is to come next Thursday. Those of the flaxen hair have taken the victory the last three years but this year we belters the tide to have turned. Those who will go into battle with Captain Nonken will probably be Blickenstaff and Rump at end, Lengle and Wine at tackle position, Windmill and Whiteneck at guard. Bowers at center, Wells, Nonken, Swain and Graham at backfield position.

Captains Nonken and Tarrant will lead their teams to the field for the battle at two o'clock next Thursday afternoon. Every loyal Bulldog will be expected to be at Lindsborg to help "Beat the Swedes."

The McPherson "Bankers", twice champions of the Kansas Independent league, will open the 1928 season on Thanksgiving evening against the strong Carey Salt five of Hutch-inson in a non-league game on the new McPherson city auditorium court. The "Bankers" have been working out since October 1 under the tutelage of R. R. Uhrlnub, one-time all-Missouri valley guard with Kansas university, and are expected to present a fast working combination in their opening game.

Two members of the all-conference team of last seaaon will be teammates on the Banker five this season: last year they were keen rivals. They are, Leo Crumpacker and John Butler. In the McPherson-Bethel games they lined up against each other, and it was a game of wits, speed and brawn. In the first game Buller was held down, but in the last he was the outstanding star of the memorable contest that won for the Bulldogs the Kansas Conference title.

Buller is undoubtedly one of the outstanding stars that the game has produced. He twice made the all-

conference honor team and last sea-son was chosen captain of the mythical five. In total points he was beaten only by the inimitable center on the Bulldog quintet, a race that was decided in the final game on the McPherson court. Buller also holds the state record In Kansas high school basketball, having scored in one game, a total of 65 points against Sylvia high school. He tosses thir-ty field baskets and five free throws.

The feature game on the Banker schedule this season will be played January 3 when the Cook Painter Boys, national basketball champions. make their appearance In McPher-

I don't like to yell at football games And what's the use anyway? The opponents never understood what we are saying and the team knows our sentiments already. Then half the time the teams can't tell which one we're yelling for. So again I ask What's the use.
