Harold Colvin, student Y. M. C. A. secretary, spoke of the need for applying Christianity before the Joint meeting of the Young Men's and Women’s Christian Associations last Tuesday morning in the chapel. He pointed out that the leaders in history have been either spectacular, as Napoleon Bonaparte, or revealers, as many of our scientists. Very few spectacular leaders have produced or are needed, but many reveal-ers are needed, for they are the ones that advance civilization. "Jesus", he said, "is the greatest revealer the world has known for he revealed the way of abundant life"

Colvin asserted that students are often Christina in their personal life, but that there is not the proper "carry-over" in their group life. This be attributes to the increasing tend-ency of Christmas to be concerned with respectability rather than with Christian princpals of living. He closed his remarks by urging the student body to strive toward sincere Christian conduct rather than mere social respectability.

The first was a conference of the presidents of church colleges where the relation of religion to the school was the chief problem discussed. Some of the questions brought up were: The responsibility of religion enough for me already I can not thank you enough. From now on I'll be happy and let the sighs come when no one knows.

FR0SH.-SOPH. SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS, WINNERS

The men's Bible class of the local Sunday School went the second mile at the banquet Thursday night when it required members of the winning class to bring another with them. The freshman-sophomore class had challenged the men’s class to an attendance contest. The winners were to be entertained by the losers.

When the results were known, the boys’ class was declared the winner by a very small margin.

When nearly 150 men had assem-bled, Kenneth's Rocky led the way into the banquet hall whom he acted as toastmaster. Paul Sargent started a few songs such as John Brown’s "Baby" and "Old McDonalds had a Farm," after which came the cere-mony for which the assembly had been called together. This ceremony was performed in two courses.

And when these things were ac-complished, straightway Rock arose and made such a speech that his bearers were hardly sober the re-mainder of the evening. At intervals he called upon various men to assist him. Ray Strohn, president of the entertaining class spoke upon the value to both classes of the contest. The president of the winning class, Ralph Frantz, expressed the thanks of his class for the entertainment. Mr. F. E. Marchand spoke on the sub-ject, "As It Goes". He mentioned a wonderful plan for traveling but it cannot be printed at this time.

Other numbers on the program were a solo by Oliver Ikenberry, a reading by John Lehman, a piano solo by Lawrence Turner and a quar-tet number by N. S. Rhodes, Harold Fasnacht, Lawrence Turner, and Oliver Ikenberry.

Professor J. Hugh Heckman talked a little more seriously on the place a Sunday School Class should occupy. It should serve the church. This speech seemed to be greatly appre-ciated.

"Blessed be the Tie that Binds” was the concluding number, sung with clasped hands.

The wind of adversity is increas-ingly tempered to the ambitious stu-dent. There never has been a time when so many helpful agencies were busy in help him over the pecuniary bumps. The department of the interior has made public for example, a statement in which it says that in 284 colleges and universities in the United States for which it has figures nearly $4,000,000 was lent during the current year "to students of character and ability for the purpose of completing their college educa-tions". The data apply only to in-stitutional funds, administered by the colleges themselves. They do not include independent agencies for maintaining boys and girls in school, the contributions of which are also large.

Four million dollars should go a long way to ward helping a good many young men and young women. At an average of $200 it would mean aid to some 20,000 in critical times; but these funds are virtually self-per-petuating, so that the good dollar may do is multiplied many times.

How to assist the worthy and capable without pauperizing or giving undue encouragement to the less de-serving is one of the basic problems of philanthropy. It has been solved in part in these instances by the con-notations of the phrase, "completing their education". Certain evidences of good intent, of stability of character are commonly expected before applicants are eligible to obtain loans. In other words, the student must meet the fund at least part way, must not lean too heavily on outside assistance. The soundness of the loan system under prudent restric-tions is being amply justified by events. —Portland Oregonaian.

SHERWOOD EDDY

The following is an article concern-ing Sherwood Eddy received from the state Y. M. C. A.

"Sherwood Eddy was the person-ality which, like Saul, towered head and shoulders above hie fellows. He is fifty-eight but looks forty-three. He posseses the energy of an ath-lete and the mental alertness of eternal youth. Some amazing divined rejuvenating fire passes through his veins. Nothing "professional or set" about him. He seems to be growing vigorously all the time. One student was heard to remark. "Eddy doesn't need to argue. His intense sincerity is absolutely convincing."

"I went about asking men who had lived and traveled with Eddy, what are the sources of this almost unique power, "A singular combination of qualities," said one. ‘‘He is a fight-er. Look at that jaw. He is a tre-mendous worker. He seems to be in touch with reality." Karawa, who is a combination of Savonarola. Jane Adams, and Thomas, a Kempis in Japan, says "What is meekness? War on war. What is purity? War on vice". So Eddy is waging some divine war. with the issues clear-cut. He believes in love and then braze proposes to set on it, in public and in private, at home and abroad. This is terrifying. He finds that youth is

dabbling in sex and making blunders. He therefore wades into this subject, throws open the windows, and before you know it somehow all the dark corners are bathed in light and sunshine beautiful and sweet.

"Eddy is neither a genius nor a

he had been caught by a power and a way of life neither too lofty nor too intricate for even the average fellow. That power is Christ, and the way of life is Christian but lived without equivocation or excuses daily renewed, daily expanding.

on the administration: effort to find out what religion is and its purpose in the life of the individual; Appoint-ment of great men as religious lead-ers and chapel positions.

Dr. Leslie Glenn stated that relig-ion, when it functions right, enuses a young man to ask—Is this the way I should spend my time? The trouble with college students is not that they don’t know what is right but that 90% of them are bewildered because they do not have the moral courage to do what they know is right.

In giving a resume of the high points of the meetings of the second conference. Dr. Schwalm said that this conference enabled him to see our institution as others see us. He said that the consensus of opinion held that the value of a Ph. D. is not the degree itself but the training necessary to get it.

In the discussion of class-room believed to be inferior to the guid-teaching methods, the Lecture, question, and recitation methods were once of the teacher over a group who come together and do work.

Two qualities which were thought to be of fundamental importance in selecting students were— Faithfulness, and Capacity to improve on reasonable application.

Monday, Harold Colvin, the region-al Sec'y of the Y. M. C. A. reviewed the situation of the college students Search of Life. He cited the following elements of a successful college life:

1. Finding Yourself, m a k i n g choices of activities to comply with some central, driving theme, in order to achieve a unified personality. 2. Finding your Place, or vocation, taking into consideration—

THE SPECTATOR

3. Finding your philosophy. God: or determining highest values by thinking your way through.

dawned upon us. Exams are in the offing. At eight bells Wednesday morning all blue books are clasped

despairingly in fists knotted in des-peration. Ah be kind, Oh Fates, who guide the destinies of all college students, dumb or brilliant (?) May we make at least C's.

Feelings of all may be many and varied. To the ones who have studied constantly throughout the semester, exams are no terrors but only a pleas-ant and comformtable way of passing a short two hours which otherwisde might be spent in remunerative

Woe be unto those who have not burnt sufficiently the midnight elec-tricity—pardon oil, really, gas. Now for these ones exams are ghostly nightmares which lurks around in the corner seeking to devour and destroy the unwary. Feverishly, note books are pored over: text books scanned frantically; book reports hastily scribbled by gazing down list of contents; and the gundry other ? of work which should have been completed by mid-semes-ter. Even when exams are over there is a period of palpetative waiting to see "If I flunked that philosophy— that harmony that rhetoric - that physiology". All is all it is a great time for all.

We wonder if the faculty sits up nights picking out the most difficult questions to be found in the courses. No-surely they remember when they were young and a feat stricken group like ourselves. We hope they think back to the dim and distant past of their college days— and have mercy on the present generation.

Oh those courses! Philosophy may teach one to think, to reason, to seek the why of the universe: but if those words can only be remembered Pantheism, Personalism, No-- Real-ism, Materialism, Epestemology, An-thropamorphism Interactionism, Ni-etzsche, Sensationalism and other simple and usable words. The phil-osophy of a philosophy student may be rudely disintegrated, shattered, and ruined by too specific questions in the final test. Please notice hint.

While the present system of edu-cation goes on: while students still persist in coming to school: while they enroll n biological, physiological, English, historical and commercial courses -final semester exams are going to be given. So the only way to evade them is to have the educational syelem scatter to the four winds of the earth: but this will never happen as long as America is made up of the class of individuals that she is. Individualism is stronger in America that anywhere else in the world. Oh, pardon—off the subject - just a review of social reconstruc-tion creeping in.

The final test is here-- go in and do your best. We might at least try to do as well as the famous Bulldog Champions did in their initial strug-gle under the greatest handicaps in history. That is what the old bull-dog spirit is for— to enable us to hurdle obstacles. We will just surprise the whole family by the good grades we might make—Huh! "The saddest words of tongue or pen. The saddest are these—it might been".

Yes—we must have passed if we did not flunk. But in exams as in life—one must gamble with Fate especially in true-false and completion tests where facts are facts and intelligence floes. It all rests on the laps of the Gods and may the Fates be kind to —we are only college students struggling in the Stygion darkness of ignorance and final exams are only some of the dangers to beset us. The worst is yet to come. Chaotically speaking—Selah!

During the winter season of 1903, when McPherson College was in its

early childhood the College basket-eers journeyed to Salina where they played the fast St. John's Military Academy in a ballroom.

was Frank Crumpacker.

A number of years passed before another Crumpacker came along to help represent his Alma Mater on the court. It was during the winter of 1914 that a long-eared, flat-footed

gent convinced the coach that he ought to be allowed to play when the Chilocco Indians invaded the home-court. During the game, Lloyd Crum-packer squelched the Redmen's play-fulness when he tossed a basket while flat on his back. This proved to the coach that Lloyd was a good man and he won his letter that sen-son and also in the 1915 season.

It was five years later that another Crumpacker made the College team. This time it was a little short, stocky Academy flash with bottomless lungs, called Sanger Jr., Coach Verink used him during the season of 1920, and the following year, although hinder-ed by a sprained wrist, he played enough games to win a letter. This little Freshie of 1921 had no trouble holding his berth during the season of 1922, and in 1923 led the team to

floor. He usually played an excep-tional floor game, covering his man well and shooting his share of the

But while Sanger was making such a brilliant record there was another powerful and "massive" student of M. C. wedging his way into Lonborg's favor. This was Leonard, the most outstanding feature on the Bulldog team, being exceptionally adapted to getting up after rebounds and when the ball was in his possesion no op-posing force could wrest it from him. In 1923 he was awarded a position on the Kansas All State Third Team.

While Leonard and Sanger were making names for themselves Leon-ard's brother Leo was captain and guard on the McPherson High School team with state wide fame. Leo got his first letter in M. C. during the season of 1925 playing guard. Dur-in the three years that followed the name of Leo Crumpacker became known all over the state. He under-stood the game and was the heaviest man on the floor, being the guard that was always assigned to stop the opposing scoring ace. Leo played on

the team that won the Kansas Con-ference championship in 1928 and well deserved his selection as All Kansas Conference guard.

That the tall man does not always have the advantage was well demon-strated by Elmer Crumpacker, a teammate of Leo's, playing forward on the 1928 championship team. Difficult to guard, accurate in his shots, a surprise on the follow-ups. Dependable and plucky "Little Crum" towered in playing strength. His play grew better as the season ad-vanced culminating in his choice for honorable mention at the national tourney. Elmer is playing his second season with the Bulldogs this year. He has already been high-point man in one game and is continually feared by all conference opponents.. With added improvement this year Elmer should be a likely candidate for All State honors.

The whole Crumpacker tribe is one of which any Bulldog team can feel proud. Everyone of them has stood for fair play and true sports-manship of the quality that is to be found is every real Bulldog today.
