What ho! Petunia. studying again? I ought to tell you since I'm your big sister, I suppose, and I should be unselfish—but I wouldn't only your grades for this semester are already in. and the chances are you’ll have forgotten by next fall. But you see. Petunia. with Professors trying to get only a small percent of A s sent in. it's best not to have too much competition you understand, don’t you, honey?
Now Petunia, the first thing to remember is to always get the atmos-phere of the class The first day. always sit on the back row and study. Books? Heavens no! The teacher, Remember, baby, it’s the teacher and not the textbook who gives the grades.—As I said, sit on the back ■row and study Keep us much an possible out of the teacher's sight riel behind a tall person if possible Then the next day; if you are fully prepared. move up to the middle of the front row and do your stuff It's first Impressions that count with teachers us well as new men Well wait, Petunia. I'll come to that as soon as I can.
Of course, being new at this. It may lake you several days to determine your method of attack in a particular class. But the fundamental principle Is this, men teachers have to have their vanity flattered, and you have to flatter the vanity of women teachers. The problem Is: upon what does their vanity rest? ( Are you taking notes, Petunia? This is probably the most important thins you will learn in college)
Always notice anything new about them. They always think of that themselves. being members of homo sapiens also. For instance, when the Prof, comes in with his bi-weekly hair cut. observe in a stage whisper to whoever is resting beside you. "Don't you think Prof, looks! perfectly adorable with his hair cut that way?" Then start to writing hec-tically in your note book and blush if possible. The chances are you will blush the first time you say it.
Never be too blase In front of a professor until after the first six weeks when the semester's grades are seat in. And remember, Petunia,

I had one class where the prof. was a problem dreadfully hardboiled and seemed to really like the men best. Imagine it! That was the class where I bought the textbook. I drew pencil lines on a couple of pages and always kept those pages open. (The book was practically as good as new and I sold it for a pretty good price, so I guess it wasn't much loss though
I did have to break down one of my principles The only other book I bought was a notebook for almos phere and it was valuable in filing letters) Then one day I asked the prof. what the author (always talk about author, it helps ) what the author mean when he said "The quality of merry Is not strained". Realty, the class had a continuous discussion for three days. then the prof looked at me and asked if I understood. All I had to say was, "Yes sir. thank you so very much." Remember that If you start a discu-sion you get credit for everything anyone else says.

There are times when we must face squarely the severity of God, as was pointed out by Dr. V, F. Schwalm last Tuesday at Y, M. Bat God is also Good and his severity does not lessen his goodness.
There is a severe penalty for the breaking the least of God’s laws. This penalty Is sure and relentless. The wages of sin are death, Christ emphasized severity many times in the case of hypocrites or those who caused others to stumble.
But at other times He spoke of the goodness of God. A sinner truly repentant must be assured of the goodness and forgiveness of God. The Goodness of God was emphasized In the story of the Prodigal Son.

She wasn't at all old, and they got engaged a little bit later. Of course that wax a Jot of trouble and after the final. I had to break up the engagement because he was one of my boy friends and l needed his car, It was really too bad. because I had to get a permit to avoid another class under her, and of course that would never Have done. I shall be more careful about that in the future.

Of course, if you like, you can find out which teachers give the most A's and that simplifies things a little, but learn to be self-reliant, baby, It saves practically all your time outside of class and lots of money for books, and you can get lots of nice recommendations when you are looking for a Job", But as I said Petunia, your grades for this semester are all In. and you may forget before next fall.

INTRAMURALS
Certain developments of the past week have not been suggestive of the best spirit of sportsmanship among participants In Intramural athletics, This education has unfortunately arisen in both men's and women's basketball. It is a pity that a group that continually harp on "Bulldog spirit ’ to our representatives who meet publicly contestant in various events would seemingly forget it when their opportunity to make application of the same presents itself Self control and unselfishness if the main purpose of these activities Is not to be defeated. is the big end of a score really worth a lot of petty squabbling and not quite fair means? Really, after all, what more In there than the satisfaction of having played one’s best and having given the utmost in an enjoyable and sportsmanlike con-test?
OTHER contests
The last issues of the current number of the Spectator have each announced an essay contest, one open In any college student, and the other restricted to seniors. This is one possibility for development that has not been realized In McPherson College The college has representatives in practically all other activities and there is not any insurmountable reason that she should not participate in these events. Little need be said why students should enter these journalistic contests. The name reason exists there as for athletics. forensics or music; returns are measured by the expenditure of effort.
Directly causing the lack of Interest in such matters in a general lack of Interest In Journalism as a whole In the college. However, should there be some one who cared tp venture an attempt there are instructors here who would willingly offer their help. Let us see McPherson represent-ed In another activity, and In one that offers possibilities for much publicity. This is a field that is Indeed In need of development In our college.

LIBRARY NOTES
The report of the World Sunday School Convention held in last sum-mer was received In the library las week.
The Bulldogs won their first game in the National A. A. U. Basketball tournament at Kansas City yester-day afternoon by defeating the Alva (Okla) Teachers five 37-34. The first half was a hard grind for both teams and proved to be an unevent-ful fight ending with the Teachers in the lead 13-15.
The Bulldogs came back in the second period with their usual deter-mination to win and characteristic ally uncorked a style of basketball that had not yet been seen in the tournament and scored seventeen points before their bewildered oppon-ents could again hit the ring. With the score 15-30 In their favor Coach Gardner put In a string of substit-tutes which gave the Rangers their only opportunity to score their dozen points in the last half.
This is the way the Bulldogs scor-ed: Crumpacker 4-9-1 Rump 2-1-1; Miller Blickenstaff 0-1-1; and
Nonken 3-0-2
At 2 o'clock today the Bulldogs will meet the St. Benedicts College quintet in the tournament. The Cath-olics did not play yesterday and are doped In be a strong entry.
