REPORTING AS A PROFESSION
There are certain traditional views of newspapers that have come down from past generations. .One of them is that the newspaper reporter is a happy-go-lucky individual, with no particular training, who takes his work in a desultory way and travels from city to city with no other purpose than to see the world and enjoy life.
However, true this conception may have been fifty years ago, it is fantastic: when applied to the reporter of today. The interview in The Star a few days ago with Mr. A. B. MacDonald, recipient of the Pulitzer prize, by the Star’s Roving Correspondent, illustrates the background and ideas of the modern efficient reporter. It reveals two men with a wide acquaintance with literature and life, who take their work as seriously as any professional man.
In fact, the modern reporter is a professional man. He works hard to acquire the necessary training and to develop himself in a broad way. He seeks not merely to report surface events, but to give an understanding interpretation of them. He recognizes his responsibility to his readers and to the great public service institution with which he is identified. It is the rarest thing in the world for a reporter to betray his trust.
No profession is more exacting in its demands than that of reporting. The reportorial work of a newspaper is an essential factor in modern life in keeping the public informed and reporters as a class measure up to their high opportunity.—Kansas City Star.

They have labored against imposing odds that their offices might function properly. They have become experts in their fields. They have gained the respect of the student body and their confidence has never faltered in the eyes of these they assist. No greater tribute could be accorded them than to mention the fact that, they have fulfilled their duties and purposes to the utmost of their ideals and abilities that what they have done in the past might not be forgotten in the future. They have never hesitated in answering a request from any student, nor have students hesi-tated in approaching them with their problems.
Ever smiling and seemingly always to be happy in their work, Dean R. B. Mohler and Prof, J. A. Blair, have and always will be held as inspirations for higher accomplishments, for more worthy thinking, for straight forward endeavors, and for the greatest standard of life—that of true Christian men.

ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED
It is not always the engine that makes the most noise that does the most work.
The three things most difficult are—to keep a secret, to forget an injury, and to make good use of leisure.
WAR DRUMS
War, the universal tide of human slaughter, has a premature appeal to a young generation that will have to be abolished before an attempt can be made for permanent peace. This generation is fascinated with the adventurous and thrilling experiences it pictures and the hero worship it manifests.
We are a nation of misbelievers and misrepresentation of our own personal beliefs. In times of war we are for war and not for peace. In times of peace we are for peace and hate even the thought of a next war. We preach against war and attempt to place a vision of the horrors of human conflicts before a public that is ever ready to listen—but seldom to set. The ire of discontent of present feeling has its appeal for further though. We are a nation of "freedom of speech,' of "equal rights,’’ and of "freedom of religion." We sing the "peace on earth, good will toward men." Yet we go to war.
War breaks out—-a ’’just’’ cause is manifested—in self-defense they cry—a war to end war is their appeal—a call for volunteers is answered— a brass band marches through the streets playing a military and patriotic march—we listen—we see others join in the trek—we forget mother, father, and sweetheart—we desert our own feelings toward war— the band plays on—the music is as a dose of liquor we don’t care—we "rally round the flag"—the flag—we find ourselves with the others—in the street— marching with them and singing their songs of victory—on we go to war—to fight—to kill—to be killed—war—war
Yet God said, "peace on earth, good will toward men."
Sat., May 9—The engagement of Miss Ruth Turner, ’31, to Mr. Paul Bowers. '30, was announced tonight during a party given by Miss Helen Eberly at the home of Dr. V. F. Schwalm.
The evening was spent very pleasantly in playing games. A part of the entertainment consisted of a reading, “Their First Quarrel,” by Miss Della Lehman, and a solo, 'Mother Machree.” by Miss Turner At certain times during the evening the guests were required to carry out various stunts, the last one being a "treasure hunt." Later the treasure turned out to be an engagement ring which Mr. Bowers placed on the engagement finger of the left hand of his fiance. The announcement came as a surprise to many of the guests.
Refreshments were served, consisting of cake and ice cream molded into the shape of hearts.

BOTH DEAN AND REGISTRAR
ARE HEARTILY IN FAVOR OF
MERGING OF THEIR OFFICES
"I Have Been Pulling For This Change For Last Three Years” Says Mohler—"The Present Change Most Constructive Thing Done Since I Have Been Here”—Blair
That the new changes that are to be brought about in the merging of the Dean's and Registrar's offices into one is gaining favor is evidenced in the fact that the two men who now hold these two positions are heartily in favor of the new change, in an interview with Dean R. E. Mohler and Prof. J. A. Blair yesterday many interesting facts were brought to light as to what advantages the new change would be. ........

"The new change will result in the most economical type of administration.'' Professor Blair remarked. "The present system has proved Itself very uneconomical and the new plan will result in better effeciency,"
Professor Blair became Registrar of the College in 1922. Before he took over his new duties no complete records of students grades and cre-dits had ever been kept. He instituted a system that soon found favor not only among the faculty but also among the students and him proved to be efficient, accurate and complete.
Before the last, decade the College was unable to issue a complete transcript of grades for any student. A great deal of trouble was experienced by alumni members who returned for their grades and credits.
Dean Mohler, like the present re-gristrar, was of the opinion that the new plan will result in a more efficient office. "I have been pulling for this change for the last three years," Dean Mohler stated. When approached as to its benefits he stated that it will be a great economy of time and labor, Dean Mohler became Dean of the College in 1925 and he
had held this position faithfully and
executed his duties to the height of efficiency.
As a result of the merging of these two offices the educational depart-ment will probably be divided into two divisions. It is the present plan to separate it into (1) psychology division, and (2) administrative division, Professor Blair intends to remain in full charge of the psychology division, in which division he says he has received the most training and which is of more inter-est to him. The second division, that of administrative, will be taken care of by Mr. Replogle, who has received especial training in this field of education.
Because of the heavy duties of Mr. Replogle he will probably not teach more than six hours of work during his first year at McPherson. The two courses that will include the six hours will probably be principals of education and high school administration.
"The present change is the most constructive thing that has been done,” Professor Blair stated, "since I have been connected with McPherson college.” Both Dean Mohler and Professor Blair are lending all of their support to the new plan and feel certain that it is going to prove a wonderful success.
(Continued from Page One)
the outlying reaches of the McPherson college area. Both have volunteered to change their program to provide for the re-organization which will bring to the campus one especially trained for educational administration. This was initiated more than a year ago when Dean Mahler asked to be relieved of the Deanship as soon as convenient. Both have expressed their desire to continue their work in the College with the same enthusiasm and devotion which has always characterized them. For this splendid spirit and for thier untiring efforts in behalf of the College, they have added to the debt of gratitude all the friends of McPherson college owe them.
There will be added to the faculty Fred a. Replogle, now of Chicago, who will assume some of the administrative duties now cared for by Professors Mohler and Blair and will also be professor in the field of education and religious education. He will become Dean and Registrar of the College.
Mr. Replogle is a man of pleasing personality, of excellent training, of varied experience and sterling character. He has his Master's degree from the Northwestern university and will soon receive his Ph. D. from the University of Chicago. He has had experience as a teacher, principal, superintendent of schools, the director of young people's work, and for the past two years, he has served with the Methodist Educational Board in Chicago as research direc-
tor.
His special training is in educational, administrative, and person-nel work, though he is also well trained in religious education. He has taken courses amounting to about a year's work above the re-quired number for his Doctorate at the University of Chicago.
He is 32 years old, married and has one son. He will come to McPherson about August 1st and will begin his work with the opening of the next school year.
One person in writing of Mr. Rep-logle said, "Replogle is a high grade man, possessing excellent ability, great industry, and a fine personality. He is the sort of man who would awaken the respect and admiration of college students.”
The man with whom he has been at work on the Methodist Board of Education says of Mr. Replogle: "He has an inquiring mind and a concise method which has fitted him admirably for our work in research. A sound knowledge, comparatively quiet and modest manner, and his ability to put his finger on the important matters, usually inspires confidence.
“Mr. Replogle is basically religi-ous and in our many conferences he has maintained a thoroughly analytical interest but one directed at the constructive solution of the real problems related to guiding folk into meaningful and inspiring relation-ship with God."
One who has worked with him a great deal says, "He is a splendid individual, with whom cooperation is easy. He is open minded and able to take suggestions. Yet he will be found very capable of originality and individual initiative. As a personnel worker he would lead the student body to come for advice and direction, I have seen this happen nor-mally and naturally many times. He has a forceful power of language and a splendid ability to grasp situ-
ations and prevent the heart of a subject. It will be your good for-tune if you can land him. I wish he were coming to our campus."
To Make Reservations With Roy O. Frantz At Rocky Ford, Colo,
The College is making arrange-ments to have a camp ground head-quarters for McPherson college friends at the Colorado Springs annual conference of the Church of the Brethren from June 10 to 16.
Two camp sites are being considered, one 25 blocks north of the auditorium in the city and the other about seven miles away, in the mountains, near Manitou. Strictly modern accomodations may be had at both places and the rates are very reasonable. If sufficient number send in reservations special rates may be secured, including gas, heat, and light at a special price of $1 per day.
People interested in this camp are urged to make reservations with Roy 0. Frantz, Rocky Ford, Colo., as soon as possible. It is roughly esti-mated that there may be from 500 to 1000 in this camp. They are esti-mating that there will be 15,000 people in attendance at this annual conference.
The College is taking the Male quartet and Mrs. Anna C. Tate to Colorado Springs for the annual
conference of the Church of the Brethren to be held during the week from June 10 to 16. This talent will represent the College’s part in furnishing entertainment during the conference.
Thurs., May 7—The botany class, under the direction of Dean R. E. Mohler, reversed the type of lesson discussion today by going on an extensive field trip. This afternoon 13 students and the instructor motored to points north of Little River and Marquette. They visited Natural Correl, located west of Marquette. Many types of naturs art were observed but special emphasis was placed upon flowers and ferns. A picnic supper was enjoyed by class before they returned to the campus late this evening.
Sat., May 9—Dr. and Mrs. J. J. Yoder entertained a group of college
girls to a slumber party at their home on College Hill tonight. The evening was enjoyed playing games, making candy, and popping corn. At a late hour each girl drew a number designating the room in which she would sleep. The next morning a delicious waffle breakfast was ser-ved to the following guests: Alberta Yoder, Ada Stutzman, Nellie Collins, Velma Keller, Ruth Trostle, Lillian Horning, and Naomi Witmore.
TO GIVE AN ADDRESS
Dean R. E. Mohler will give the commencement address at the Gyp-sum Kan., high school May 21. The Male quartet and Mrs. Anna C. Tate will accompany film and will help in giving the entire program for the graduation exercises.
The greatest optimist, we believe, is the person that writes a cross word puzzle with a fountain pen.

Put not your trust in money, but put your money in trust.
Truth may be stranger than fic-tion, but it will never sell for as much.
Talk about being interested in a track and field meet, we think that ''Cash'’ Carlson of Bethany takes the "cake.” During the dual meet here with the "Swedes” last Friday. "Cash'' sat in his car practically all afternoon and seemed to take no interest whatsoever in his team. He must have a good deal of interest or faith in his team to leave them to the mercy of their opponents without his help or suggestion.
Emery C. Wine, '22. McPherson college, who has been school super-intendent at Zenda, Kans., to recent years, has recently received an appointment as elementary school principal in Wichita.
The state meet seems to be center-ed around Kansas Wesleyan, Ottawa, and Baker, who have all three been making good times during the season. Ottawa doubled the score on St. Marys, St. Marys defeated Mc-Pherson, and Baker has held the edge on St. Marys. Competition will be keen.
Wagg, Ottawa, and Hochstrasser, McPherson, are favorites in the quarter mile run at the state meet Friday McIntyre, Wesleyan, bent out Hochstasser in the Pentangular meet, so it is a matter of endurance and speed to see who will break the tape first.
Under ideal conditions some of the track marks, and perhaps some of the field, are likely to fall this year, five new marks having been made last year. The two short dash marks, held by Puckett of McPherson, will be tested severely as will the javelin record of 170 feet seven inches held by Young of Baker.
Boxberger, Wesleyan, ranks high In the field events, and he has easily proved the best of the shot putters and Javelin throwers although he had been beaten once by both Zinn of McPherson and Toews of Bethany. —L. E, L,
