Three Judges To Be Used—McPher-son Has A Slight Advantage Over Wichita Debaters—Southwest-ern Winners Last Year

RECITAL TOMORROW

Fri., March 20—Tonight Coach Maurice A. Hess’ debaters won their seventh championship in the Northern Division, defeating Bethany college in the final debate in the Division. McPherson will now debate Witchita university, winners in the Southern Division, for the championship of the state,

With Prof. A. E. Leach, debate coach at Baker university, acting as critic judge here, Ward Williams and John Lehmen, affirmative, won a three point margin decision from Stenncass and Lundquist, negative, of Bethany.

At the other end of the debate the McPherson negative team, Walter Wollman and Keith Hayes, won the decision from Peterson and Olson by a margin of one-fourth of one point, the score being 92 for Bethany and 92 1/2 for McPherson, Prof. T. B Ross of Emporia Teachers' college was critic judge.

The state championship debate had been scheduled for Friday night at 9:00 o'clock, April 3, in the College chapel, with the debaters from Wichita university.

Three judges will be used at both ends of the debate. The affirmative in each case will travel. So far this year Wichita has won five out of six decisions and McPherson has won six out of six decisions.

Since the State Debate League was formed twelve years ago, Wichita has won the state championship once and McPherson has won it once. From this one realizes the equality and ability of these two teams. Furthermore during these twelve years Wichita has won the Southern Division four out of 12 times. McPherson has won the Northern Division seven out of 12 times: Southwestern having won the state last year.

SEA-SEE THINKS THE GREAT

SPIRIT CREATED ALL THE _SALESMEN ON EIGHTH DAY

Next Sunday the nationally famous Oratorio society of Bethany college, Lindsborg, will give the 50th annual Messiah festival, lasting throughout the week until April 5.

Handel's "Messiah" will be sung by a chorus of 500 voices, accompanied by an orchestra of 65 pieces. The "Messiah" will be presented in the new Presser hall or the Bethany campus.

A group of nationally known guest singers are to be featured in the Messiah festival. Such artists ar Mary McCoy, soprano; Hughetts Owen, contralto; Clifford Bloom, tenor; Ernest Davis, tenor, and Carl G. Molander, basse, will be presented. Hagbard Brase is director of the chorus.

Sun., March 22—A fire in the chemistry laboratory in the Science Hall tonight caused damage estimat-ed at about $1, 000. The cause of the fire is unexplained but it is thought by some that the flame was caused by some chemicals or some electrical apparatus that was assembled on top of the desk.

The fire was discovered by Leslie Myers who reported it to the men's dormitory. Two students who rush ed to the scene with chemical extin-guishers had the fire under control before the city fire department ar-rived.

Nearly half of a laboratory table was completely destroyed. Chemis-try apparatus in four desks were ruined and the ceiling immediately above the table was blackened with smoke and cracked considerably. New plastering will be required. Two windows were broken in applying the chemicals to the blaze.

The loss is covered by insurance

According to reports from the Administration the ticket sale for the Boosters' Banquet has gone over in a big way and yesterday noon it was announced that at that time more than $2, 000 had been turned in for sale of tickets.

DEBATERS MAY ENTER THE DEBATE TOURNEY

Pi Kappa Delta Meet To Be Held At Pittsburg, Kansas

Perryton, Texas, March 24—In America there are classes—middle class, rich class, poor class, and salesman. They are in a class by themselves and have distinguishing ear marks just as any other type or species of bugs (biological or commercial). The supply never runs out and are constantly replenished by the incubators of capitalists of in-dustry. The best known hatcheries are designated by the two-fold name of Chain Stores. The class or breed is always kept pure by means of extermination by discharging; only those being retained who are the more prolific in bringing in orders.

Distinguishing characteristics of these men called salesmen are numerous and invariably the same. First

the inevitable black leather bag_

and their slogan is "Be nonchalant" and it is carried out in dress, posture, and carriage. The suit is always well tailored rather foppishly inclined.

Spats are as prevalent as grasshop-pers in Kansas. The Hail-Fellow-My -Comrad is the keynote of the man-ner. He is determined to sell the customer his idea against his better self. Many men thus become more open to his pecking by their wives because of first having their resistance weakened by salesmen.

Psychology plays a great share in the life of the salesmen. By employing the rituals and text of the Great Order of Psychology many a business man has had his mental citadel stormed and the result is always the same—his name on the dotted line.

In defense of salesmen let it be articulated that not all the stories are told by them all the time. Sometimes the store owners indulge.

Is it sacreligious to say that on the Eighth Day the Great Spirit created salesmen?

SEA-SEE.

All members of the teams will debate, while some of the men and women will enter the oratorical contest. Those men not giving orations will enter the extem-poraneous contest on prohibition; while the women not giving orations will enter the extemporaneos con-test on "women in politics."

REPORTERS

THE CHAMPION DEBATERS

Championship teams are never a "happen so.” They are the result of painstaking, unstinted effort, of work that knows no limitations. A championship debate team is no exception unless it is that it takes even greater amounts of the above named qualities.

Prof. Maurice A. Hess never knows the phrase "too much" when he begins work on a debate team. His debaters soon imbibe his spirit and days and nights of work. No source at information is left unread; no type of argument is left unconsidered; no sentence of a speech is left unpolished. The result, is a team that can with ease and poise present arguments forcefully and answer objections conclusively; that can find weaknesses in their opponent's arguments and point them out fatally. Professor Hess deserves praise in strongest terms for his Bulldog spirit and omniscient foresight which gives him the edge on all matters of diplomatic dealing in intercollegiate contests. Nor is he alone praiseworthy. A long line of excellent materiel has come into his hands, not the least of which is the present team.

We feel sorry for the "Swedes" and warn Wichita university.

Dear Dad;

There's going to be a Boosters' Banquet here this Friday night. The Governor is going to be here and everything! That's all right, but I need a little cash. Of course, I've got to take Betty and that means two dollars anyhow. That may sound like a lot to you, but, believe me, I'm getting off lucky at that, because some guys are going to have to pay eleven dollars for two tickets and we’ll be eating the same kind of meal. I guess we are getting off lucky at two dollars. Well, please rush the money, and I mean right away.

Sincerely,

Sonny.

FOR YOUR ILLUMINATION

CHURCH COLLEGES IN KANSAS

Eleven of the eighteen colleges and universities in Kansas are govern-ed by denominational interests. Next year there will be only ten such institutions of high learning for the announcement has been made public that St. Mary's college, Catholic, is to be discontinued as a college because of its financial condition. What is the future of the denominational colleges in Kansas?

The greatest problem of church schools in Kansas is finance. Churches with large and widespread membership have as much difficulties securing money as does the church with a small membership. Last Sunday it was learned that Southwestern college, Methodist, has been dropped from the North Central Association of Colleges because of "inaccurate financial returns" and in today's Spectator it says that Sterling college will drop all intercollegiate athletics next year because of financial straits.

The only means church schools have in acquiring finance for main-tenance is through contributions by members of their church, friends of their institution, and the pledges of the alumni whom they graduate. The last two or three years college expenses have risen to new heights. To meet this rise colleges are required to secure more money from their con-stituency. Student tuitions do not begin to pay the running expenses of a college. In the last three years things have been “slim picking" for field workers. But we are not going to continue in the rut of depression that we now find ourselves and things are going to become easier for the field men. McPherson college, however, is one of the schools in Kansas to be in the best financial condition at the present time.

For two years, 1925 and 1926, the college and university enrolment reached its highest level. Since these two "fat" years a number of "lean" years have followed. Church colleges have declined in student population since 1926. A number of reasons may be given for this decline. The church schools are not the only institutions to decline in this manner for teachers' colleges of the state have lost students and state colleges and universities have also declined, however, at a smaller percentage. Two reasons may be given for this decline in enrolment. First, municipal uni-versities have been on the upgrade since 1926 in enrolment, and second, the junior colleges of the state have been making a decided increase in students in the last five years. Junior colleges have also increased in number.

There is a future for church colleges, providing of course, that they do not make themselves unattractive and unpopular by their strict regulations of social associations upon their campuses. Students are not going to attend the school that they know governs their students by the "iron-clad" rates. This, however, is but a minor point but should not lack con-sideration. The increase in enrolments in junior colleges should open a new field for church schools. The upper classes should continue to grow in-membership and it will be the purpose of the colleges to establish their curriculum in such a manner that it will follow the curriculum of the junior colleges. Attraction will continue to become a medium for drawing students.

   Church colleges have a future if they can continue to keep the faith

of their students. The nation needs the small college as a stepping stone to institutions of high learning.

WOMEN SPEND 85 PER CENT

NATION’S INCOME AND KNOW

VERY LITTLE OF FINANCE

Yet Men Are Interested In "Etiquette”-—-Miss Mildred Thurow Asked To Give Series Of Talks On Etiquette To Men— Men May Be Worried About Their Futures

"Do you solemnly swear to cook for your wife and maintain a clean and orderly home for her while she is out earning your livelihood?" Will that be a question in future wedding ceremonies?    

Certainly there is now a modern trend in home economics for men. In a home economic convention which Miss Mildred Thurow, instructor in domestic science at McPherson, attended, two prominent Kansas men said they believed such a course should be required of high school boys, thereby enhancing their secondary education. And really why not, one might ask? Eighty per cent of the nation’s incomes are spent by women who know nothing about financial economics, dealt out to them by men who know nothing about problems of home economics. The ideal seems to be to spread knowledge to both men and women.

It is true that men are beginning to realize they have a social responsibility in the home as well as women. One doesn’t know whether it was this realization or just a desire for polish that caused a group of college men to seek out Miss Thurow to request her to give a series of lectures exclusively for them.

Tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o’clock Miss Thurow will begin a series of lectures on "etiquette for men." She will talk on table etiquette, bring in such things as "which fork would you use if you

had half-a-dozen on the left side of your plate" and "how to use dormitory syrup most gracefully to help the peas stay on your knife,” She also plans to speak on social etiquette, correcting such things as a man "sandwiched between two girls.” Another lecture will deal with men's clothing. Color combinations, as relative to the complexion, and the correct design combinations will be discussed. Can one imagine "men,” (the good, the true, and the beautiful) wanting to know "more” about such things as "etiquette-?”    Men

are funny beings.

At a later period Miss Thurow will speak of the balance of meals and the choice of foods. Interior decoration from a man's standpoint will be given an airing. Letter writing may be discussed and a number of other helpful things that the members of the '‘stronger" sex might wish to understand.     

COLLEGE REPRESENTED

LUCILE CRABB TAKES FIRST IN STATE MEET

FOUR ARE ENTERED

State Convention Of The Anti-Tobac-co Association In Session Here Last Saturday

Sat., March 21—Lucile Crabb won first in the State Intercollegiate AntiTobacco Oratorical Contest in the chapel here, receiving a prize of $35. Tom Hutcheson of Sterling college won the second prize of $25, and Verlin Easterling of Central college won the third prize of $15. The fourth orator was John Schmidt of Bethel.

Lyle Martin of Central College won the $5 gold piece offered to the winner in the preliminary division of the contest. The other orator of the preliminary contest was Grace Heckman of McPherson.

The program started with two solos by Mrs. Anna C. Tate, accompanied by Fern Lingenfeller. Following the orations, while the Judges, were determining the winners, a string quartet played several numbers. The string quartet consisted of Pauline Dell, Rosalind Almes, Viola DeVilbiss, and Herbert Eby, with Mary Swain accompanying them on the piano.

The state Inter-collegiate AntiTobacco Association held its business meeting in the chapel at 2:00 this afternoon, with Pres. C. P. Klassen of Tabor College presiding. Officers for the coming year were elected as follows: President, David Wedel of Bethel; vice-president, Gordon Pick-ering of Central College; Secretary-treasurer, Orville Kuhn of Sterling

CO

Following the business meeting a mixed quartet consisting of Lois Edwards, Ruth Turner, Harvey Shank, and Delvis Bradshaw, sang two numbers. F. W. Lough and J. W. Huddleston, field workers of the No-Tobacco League of America, gave a short music program, following

While in Wichita the class also visited the type foundry works and the Mid-Continent Engraving company. It is at this company that The Quadrangle has its engraving done. These visits proved very educational and proved very in-teresting to the class and the in-formation received had a direct bear- ing on advertising.

"M” CLUB SPEAKER

the year 1929-30 was $131, 741.70, The average annual budget for the past five years has been about $134,-000. This money is mostly paid out in salaries to faculty members and other employes, and for supplies for the dining hall, dormitories, laboratories, etc. Most of the money expended is brought to the College by students from outside the city, and is expended here without sending away any material commodity in re-turn. Besides this annual budget of the college, according to a study made by The Spectator staff last year each student expends for clothing, entertainment, etc., on an average of about $150 each per year. This amount for the year will approximate something like $25,000 additional that is expended in McPherson due to the existence of the College. Atmost every line of business profits by this trade—cleaners, clothiers, dry goods stores, drug stores, barber shops, beauty parlors, telephone company, doctors, dentists, movie houses, etc. It is because of this fact that the College has the courage to come to the city to ask them to buy a ticket to a $10 banquet, the proceeds of which will go to the current finances of the College.

Besides this business side of the proposition, there is a cultural and educational value that comes to the city thru the presence of faculty people and students in the town.

The city has perhaps no greater advertising agency than the College. Here come hundreds of students each year and carry the story of McPherson to the four quarters of the earth. Thousands of young people have been here as students. Soon at least 2000 will have been graduated from the College. These have carried the story of the College around the world.

AN ASSET TO CITY

The value of McPherson college to McPherson in round figures is worth approximately $156,000 to the city in a year. This fact was recently brought to light in a story printed by the McPherson Daily Republican which is here given in part:

McPherson college is an asset to the city of McPherson and its community. Last year Crane, Bowman and Spurrier, accountants from Wichita, audited the books of the College and according to their reports the buildings, grounds and equipment of the College were evaluated at $463,740.08. Besides this the College has assets in cash endowment, annuities, and pledges amounting to $435,343.43. The total assets of the College are $937.193.54.

Intra-Mural Activities And Physical Education Are To Be Stressed By The College

A new Kansas conference would probably include Kansas Wesleyan, Bethany, McPherson, Bethel, Friends and Southwestern. These are six schools that are within a limit of 100 miles from each other and this fact alone would mean a great saving in money alone in regard to traveling expenses. These schools, being cen-trally located in the state, would make the ideal conference and all of them have practically the same enrolment. All of them are church schools.

With a number of candidates out the outstanding are probably Harold Binford, freshman: Vernon Flaming, junior:    Lilburn Gottmann, sopho-
