Tues.. Feb. 10—There will be no senior play this year.

At a meeting of the senior class this afternoon It was decided by a vote of 23 to 7 that the class should abandon their annual dramatic production for this year and that no substitute should be given instead of the play.

The reason for not giving the play this year was because of the present economic condition and the great expense Incurred by presenting a play of such high quality as demanded by the public.

C. E. Olrich, editor of the Daily Republican, has for the last nine years directed the senior class play and he has attained a reputation that has been recognized throughout the state. Mr. Olrich was secured earlier in the year to direct the class production this spring.

A number of plays were suggested by the play committee. composed of John Lehman, chairman. Helen Hud-

THE GREEN “COMET” AND SIX

APOSTLES CONQUER FLAT TIRES

AND EXTRA MILES TO SERVE

There comes a time In the lives of all great people when they feel benevolent and possess a deep Inward urge to bestow upon the down trodden and suffering masses the blessings of their talent and attention

It was this benevolent paternalism which a week ago last Saturday started a very select group of McPherson college students on a pilgrimage of mercy and enlightment to a small provincial settlement some one hundred and thirty miles from our fair campus. These noble crusaders were super saturated with Clara Bow’s brand of "It" and so    it was Inevitable

Somewhere In the great Northwest, no one knows just where, the inspired group lost Its sense of direction and drove approximately 25 miles further than necessary. However, as before hinted, the gods attended and the laboring "Comet" had only one flat tire. This was enough however for Our statesman after 30 la-borous minutes of exasperating and vain efforts bad to call upon the practical sufferjets to change the (Continued on Page Three)

Mon.. Feb, 9— Miss Della Lehman, English Instructor in the College, who has just recently returned from England where she has bean studying, spoke In chapel this morning.

"In the United Slates we consider that a speaker at some meeting has the floor,'' Miss Lehman said. "In England the people in the audience feet their duty to "call out" Indicating whether or not they agree

Tues.. Feb. 10—"Don't kil your-

Mr. Colvin stated that many stu-dents come In college "fed-up" on the church life of the home community, and decide to take a rest from active religious life during college. But. said Mr Colvin, the principles one forms and lives by In college are the ones by which he will live when he Is thru college.

Mr. Colvin stated three things a college student should do. First, he should discover what kind of being he Is, thou build his life about that principle. Second. he should realize that he Is a member of the human race, and must learn the proper relation between himself and his fellow-men, Third, he must discover the universe in which he lives: the pur-pose and ideal of life

"OPEN HOUSE" IS A DECIDED SUCCESS

The "Open House" party last Friday night given by the men of Fahnestock hall won a decided success. We are not saying this from the stand-point of the Civic Sanitation Commission. but as a member of society In McPherson college. College men on the whole have pride In the appear-ance of their rooms at all times. Open house means more to them than a motive for cleaning up their rooms. It was a real surprise and prick to the conscience of some of the co-eds to see the neat and tasty appearance of most of the boys rooms,

Men are social creatures. It is a normal impulse for them to wish to entertain, as hosts in their own home (whatever that home may be), people with whom they wish to become better acquainted, and who are seldom permitted to be in their home. A party given by the men in the Y. W. room or church parlors would result in the usual group of coeds sitting on one side of the room and the usual group of men sitting on the other side of the room with a few dates scattered about in other portions of the room with no one becoming acquainted with anyone they did not before know. The house party allows each girl to meet each man in a wholy new setting and learn in five minutes more facts about his taste, personality and character than she had learned in the preceding five months.

Open house parties aro not sponsored by the dating men for the mere sake of getting their girl friends Into their rooms. The College men ore more socially minded and morally upright than that. Such parties are sponsored by all the men who fell that a particular social need can be met In that way. The plan succeeds admirably, and conducted as It is here has few If any disadvantages. Proper chaperoneage and the moral quality of the majority of the students places the party on a higher plane than many other conditions which exist on the campus.

Long lire the "Open House Party!" And Incidently. according to the best prevailing social customs, being entertained in a person's home demands that similar curtesy bo offered In return.

PEACEFUL GANDHI

So far as the Influence of Mahatma Gandhi Is concerned, India's struggle for liberation will follow peaceful tactics. And If Gandhi feels that way, It Is obvious, judging from the reverence of his people for him, that his race will follow his lead Implicitly.

A few days ago 100,000 natives stood silent, and listened while the 60-year old Gandhi briefly outlined his plan. All the mysticism of the Orient was In that convocation; the crowd, their leader, and his words were dramatic and merged with the Ineffable background of his recant Imprison ment.

It is not only the Indian people whom Gandhi's words sway. The whole of British politics and government is enwrapped In his movements. it is amazing that to much power and the fate of so many human beings should be vested in one Individual. And fortunately, whether one is a pacifist or not, Gandhi's religion toward God and his own fellow men Is one that will follow a nonviolent path, as be insists his people must do. —Daily Kansan.

ONCE MORE TARKINGTON IS IN THE LIGHT

That a man so humble yet great In worldly accomplishments, who for 14 years has been In darkness should as a result of medical science regain his lost sight, must certainly be an act of God. This man, who has build-ed himself a piece In American literature so near the hub, Is Booth Tark-ington, who has been blind these many years. His physicians believe that he will no more be troubled with the cataracts that have for 14 years impaired his vision.

Probably more than any other living novelist In the New World, Tark-ington has evoked merriment and satisfying reminesnces with his pen. Both "Panrod" and “Seventeen" are filled with youth and sunlight and the natural honor of young people who are really living. The writer was rarely either poignant or drab; his masterpieces had a brighter tint and a gayer smile than most Americans were ever capable pf portraying,

Tarkington gave us other literature that treated with more mature peopl, but the spontaneity and wholesomeness or Penrod, Herman, and Verman, reflected so warmly to his readers that the American public nearly demanded that he stay with humor.

Tarkington's life has been as if an Odyssey and his 14 years of darkness are likened to the 20 years of adventure, hardship, and toll of the great Grecian character. For a man as he was, sensitive to the sway and angles of an itinerant alley horse or to preoccupied air of a nine-year-old boy who marched grandiosely as if he were Mussolini or a Grand Poten-tate, the return of his vision is as deep a satisfaction to his American admirers as it is to himself.

Perseverance Is a great element of success. If yon only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.

Associate yourself with people of good quality If you esteem your reparation, for It la better to be alone than In bad company.

It is not the plan, nor the condition, but the mind alone that can make anyone happy or miserable.

The man who satisfies a ceaseless Intellectual curiosity probably more out of life In the long run than anyone else.

"OPEN HOUSE” PARTY PROVED A BIG SUCCESS

As the Iowa clock struck seven, the parade began reminding one of a New York Exhibition on Broadway. Into these stately mansions the fair coeds wondered. questioning each other, from the color scheme observed in the different rooms, whether It was the Blue room or Rose room of the White House, they had wondered.

She went on to say that we are too prone to generalize about English people just as they do about us. Their generalization about us is well illustrated in their general agreement that the writings of Sinclair Lewis typify American life.

She heard various other viewpoints of America while in England. She heard George Bernard Shaw make some sarcastic remarks about America and crude Americans.

BAKER WILDCATS TAKE CONFERENCE GAME HERE

Bulldogs Never Gain A Lead —Fight Very Gamely

baker 40. McPherson 33

Cookson, Barker, High Point Man With 14 Points

Tues., Feb. 10—Never gaining a lead over their opponents but fighting gamely to the end the McPherson college cagers tonight took the cellar position In the Kansas conference as a result of their defeat at the hands of the Baker Wildcats, 40 to 33.

Baker took an early lead and held It thruout the entire game. The Bulldogs In the first half seemed to be holding back a great deal and, at times the games seemed as a farce. Time and again the ball would be taken from one end or the court to the other, to the extent that the referee, Leslie Edmonds, said at the end of the first half that "It was running him to death."

The first half ended with the Wildcats leading 21 to 14. Coming back after a rest the Bulldogs began to show considerable fighting spirit and began to work the ball beneath the basket for set-ups but were unable to make any of them count. With only four minutes yet to play the Binford crew came within three points of tying their opponents but the basket shooting of Poston and Cookson, Baker, they wore soon lag ging behind again. The latter part of the last period was very rough.

, Cookson, Baker's swift little forward, tallied six field goals for his team and two charity shots making his 14 points high honors for the game. For McPherson, Jamison, guard, accounted for 9 points tor high points honors, with the last two of his field goals being made from the confer of the coart.

The box score:

John Lehman: Class Prophecy—Leland Lindell; Class Poem—Christina Mohler; Class History—Ruth Trostle; and Class Song—Ruth Turner, The above students will be In charge of the part assigned to them but may secure any other students to assist them.

Now that Baker has finally broken Into the "win'' column things are beginning to look a little more interesting In the Kansas conference. All six of the Conference schools have now won at least one game, Bethany Is the only one that has not lost any Conference games. Baker won over Kansas Wesleyan last week to upset a little dope, winning in an overtime period.
