Fri., Jan. 22- The McPherson col-lege Bulldogs won the first Kansas Conference basketball victory here tonight over the Ottawa Braves. The final score was 18 to 16. McPherson took a slight lead at the beginning and held it all through the game.

The game started out slowly with each team feeling out the defense of the other. The Bulldogs soon broke into the scoring column and clung doggedly to their small lead for the entire game. After a slow first half the McPherson team was leading 8 to 7.

The second half started with fast-er play on the part of both teams. This spend soon became roughness with both teams sharing in this feature. McPherson held an advantage in passing and floor work, while both sides missed many shots. By passing and milling around with the ball McPherson bad increased her lead to five points and both teems were fighting hard for possession of the ball. Ottawa made a free throw good and after a few minutes of scrambling for the ball the Braves made a field goal. With this Captain Jamison called time out with five seconds remaining to play. Play was resumed Ottawa got the tip with McPherson, their star forward of the evening, taking a long shot. The goal was missed and a McPher-son man took the ball off the back board as the game ended.

McPherson of Ottowa and Pauls, Jamison, and Binford of McPherson all tied for scoring honors With six points each.

Wed., Jan. 20-—Talents and offici-eney using them was the main subject upon which Dean F. A. Rep-logle based this morning's Chapel talk. After reading Goodspeed's transla-tion of the "parable or the talents" in the Bible. Dean Replogle stated that those who do the most with what they have are the ones who are trusted with more; and those who have the least and do the least expect the most. He also said that the one who has but one talent is usually tempted the most.

He then applied the idea to college life. If the college student, would double or increase what he has in grades, reputation, etc., both hiss grade cards and life history could be much improved. Dean Replogle stat-ed that we should not make our de-cisions and plans in our darkest

with life, but that we should use our

problems and then try to live up to them in times when things look dark.

This evening, beginning at 7: 30 o'clock, the Chemistry Club will meet in the chapel in order to view the moving picture films taken of Dr. J. Willard Hershey's experiments on synthetic atmospheres. These films were taken during the Thanksgiving vacation, on November 27, in the McPherson college chem-

ton Smith, and Mildred Doyle.

The films were taken by E. C. Dent of the Kansas University Ex-tension Division, a man who spe-

Last month they were shown at the New Orleans meeting of the American Association for the Ad-vancement of Science, in connection with a paper on synthetic atmos-pheres road by Dr. Hershey.

In addition to the moving pic-

number of slides and the accompany-

This program will be of interest to all of the students of the college: therefore Dr. Hershey extends to all a cordial invitation to attend the meeting this evening.

Sun., Jan. 21- McPherson college Sunday was the designation given to-day in all churches and communitites included within McPherson col-lege territory. Special addresses and programs and a special offering in behalf of the current running ex-penses and endowment fund of the college took place in most congrega-

tions of the Church of the Brethren.

The headliner for the day was the McPherson college broadcast from Radio Station KFBI at Milford, Kansas. The program was a feature of the regular "Latchstring Hour, " which comes from this station from

2 to 3 P. M. every Sunday. The pro-gram opened by groups of numbers by both the men's and women's quartets, followed by a groupo of soprano solos presented by Mrs. Anna C. Tate. An interesting surprise fea-

tion of "O Promise Me, " by Mrs. Tate. The number was requested to

the radio hour, setting forth the aims and objectives of McPherson college, with a brief description of its cur-riculum, departments, student body, and faculty. Mr. E. A. Wall, president of the McPherson Chamber of Commerce, obligingly accompanied the group and furnished transporta-tion for part of them in his car.

Before going to Milford the same

party gave a program of speaking and music at the Navarro Church of the Brethren, at 11 A. M. Following the radio broadcast they visited the Brown Memorial Park and Home for the Aged, near Abilene, and in the evening gave a McPherson college program at the Abilene Church of the Brethren from 7:30 to 9.

Meanwhile several other represen-tatives of the college, were busy ear-

Kansas Prof. J. A. Blair went to Garden City in the western part of

morning, and gave another this even-ing in the church at Friend, Kansas, north of Garden City. Dr. J. J. Yoder spoke at the Conway Springs

Miss Margaret Shelley, Miss Del-ia Lehman, and Miss edith McGaf-fey gave a program jointly this even-ing at the Hutchinson Church of the Brethren, before a large audience. Dean Fred A. Replogle represented the college at the Darlow church, of which Charles Austin is pastor, and this evening addressed the pastorate of Ward Williams at Castleton, Kan-sas. Rev. H. F. Richards, pastor of the local church, traveled to Larned for a sermon there this morning, while his place in the McPherson pul-pil was taken by Dean E. E. Mohler.

Dr. J. D. Bright spoke this morn-ing at the McPherson Congregational Church, and this evening at the Church of the Brethren. His sub-ject was "Efforts at Militarizing

America. "

In all of these proframs and talks the important place of the church college, the quality of work which is done there, and thee present need of the local college were the things chiefly brought to the attention of

the audiences.

A TIME TO DO SOME THINKING

At the beginning of the new semester it is well for students to take stock of themselves and see just where they are in the game of getting an education. It is the time to look both backward and forward.

Some of us have unfortunately made mistaken which wo would like to recall. We have waster our time. We have done careless work when we had the opportunity to truly achieve. We have not kept our friendships on high levels. We have neglected to cultivate the finer side of our lives by interesting ourselves in the spiritual and cultural things which our college environment has to offer. We have wasted our money.

Many others, while not thinking of themselves as being guilty of the above thinks in a marked degree, have failed to do the best work of which they were capable. They have been satisfied with mediocrity. It is always a more nearly universal need to replace good with better than to replace bad with good.

Let us all now resolve to forget our mistakes in the past, remember-ing only the lessons they taught us, and look forward to better and growing achievements during the last semester of 1931-32.

Under the ancient leap year tradition, women during every fourth year have the privilege of asking men to marry them. At times in history, this custom has been more than a joke. A law was passed in Scotland in the 13th century, which explicitly gave women that right. It was followed by a similar statute in France, and like regulations existed later in Genoa and Florence, Italy. These provisions reveal the existence of a feeling that the old custom which gives its first initiative in marriage to men, is unfair to the female sex. These old laws were a first sign of the woman's rights movement which has turned the world upside down during recent years.

How has it happened, that men are supposed to take the lead in seeking marriage! Perhaps the women, with the intuition of their sex, orig-inated the custom themselves, and frowned upon their sisters who were more forthputting. They may have felt that when they gave an impression of elusiveness, they made themselves more attractive.

The idea seems more appropriate to an age of women's seclusion than to the present one where women do all kinds of work, and are given equal rights under the law. At present many happy marriages are prevented by the timidity of the unwilling bachelor.

Some bright girls should take those shrinking creatures, drag them out of their snug but narrow retreats, and force them to make a decision that, would enlarge their lives and create happy homes. Many of the best woman never marry, largely because they are too fine to be appreciated by the average male animal.

However, the girls have their ways of forcing a man up to the fatal question. If he is really interested, they commonly know how to make him feel unhappy if he doesn't come across with the momentous question.— McPherson Republican.

It isn't the hope or the wish or the dream; it isn't the vision, the thought or the scheme; It isn't the aim and it isn't the plan—It's just what you do that determines the

man.—Robert Guilliam.

"Crammong" is a good way of forgetting.

Little talk makes big scandal. There are no boundaries in the world of thought.

The fellow who kicks up the most dust doesn't always make the most progress.

If we could stop a grouch as easy as we can stop a laugh—wouldn't it be wonderful?

"M”

Hast thou a lamp, a little lamp, Put in that hand of thine?

And did He say, who gave it thee. The world hath need this light should be?

Now, therefore, let it shine.

And dost, thou say, with bated breath,

It is a little flame?

I'll let the lamps of broader wick Seek out the lost and cheer the sick. While I seek wealth and fame?

But on the shore where thy small house

Stands dark, stands dark, this night.

Full many a wanderer, thither

Is driven on that rock and lost. Where thou hast hid thy light.

Rise, trim thy lamp; the feeble past Behind thee put and spurn.

With God it is hot soon or late.

So that thy tight, now flaming great, Doth ever fiercer burn—

We wish to acknowledge the courtesy of Mr. E. A. Wall, president of the McPherson Chamber of Commerce, who was kind enough to furnish transportation to a part of the McPherson college group which presented the radio broadcast from station KFB1 last Sunday. After leaving Mc-Pherson early Sunday morning. Mr. Wall took the party to Navarre, where they presented a church program, thence to Milford for the radio broad-cast, and back to Abilene for another program in the evening before returning to McPherson.

Although such courtesies sometimess pass by unacknowledged or even unnoticed, they are always appreciated by those interested in the welfare of the school.

Give us a man, young or old, high or low, on whom we know we can thoroughly depend—who will stand firm when others fall—the friend faithful and true, the advisor honest and fearless, the adversary just and chivalrous; in such an one there is a fragment of the Rock of Ages— A sign that there has been a prophet amongst us.—Dean Stanley.

Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as strong to think —R. W. Emerson.

We make time for duties we love.

Dr. and Mrs. H. R. Tice of Sum-merfield brought their son Raymond to the campus Saturday. Raymond is enrolled as a freshman. Dr. and Mrs. Tice departed for their home Sunday noon.

Mary and Waller Weddle went to their homes at bloom Friday. They returned to McPherson Monday. Helen De Arman, a student here last year, accompanied them on their

Mildred Doyle, Russell Carpenter, and“ Vernon Rhoades motored to their homes to eastern Kansas Friday, returning to the campus Sunday night.

Harry Frants, Vernon Beckwith, and Melvin Flora motored to Rocky Ford, Colorado, Friday night, from when Mr. Beckwith will proceed to his home at Fayette Idaho. Mr. Frantz will return to school at the first of next week.

Florence Dresher and Ruth Ihde spent the week-end in Hutchinson.

Evelyn Heiny departed for her home in Waterloo, Iowa, Saturday morning.

John Myron Millet, Rocky Ford, Colorado, has enrolled for the coming semester. Mr. Miller was a student here in 1929.

Paul Sherry left for his home in Waterloo, Iowa, Monday morning.

Next Friday night. January 29. McPherson will be privileged to hear one of the most widely known entertainment companies in the Lyceum and Chautauqua circuits of the Unit-ed States. The De Willo Concert Company comes as the fifth number of the McPherson Community Lyceum course. The program will be heard in the Congregational Church at McPherson, beginning at 8:00 P. M.

The De Willo Concert Company is the oldest company in Lyceum and Chautauqua without change of personnel. It has played over circuits for eighteen years, since 1915, in every state east of Pennsylvania and several times in Canada. Some towns have been visited as many as five

Each of the three members of the group has improved a high degree of native talent by extensive training. De Willo Semeran, manager of the company, features his Concertina Grande, the only instrument of its kind in the world. De Willowdrew the blue prints for this instrument and had it patented. Although resembling an accordion and working on the same principle, the lone quality of the Instrument resembles that of a pipe organ. Then by the use of lovers it can be made to sound like an entire orchestra, and because of its wide range heavy marches and grand opera selections can be played which are impossible on the accordion.

Mrs. De Willo Semeran, soprano, piano soloist, and accompanist, is a post-graduate of Knox Conservatory in both piano and voice. She has a voice of wide range, blending well with the Concertina and violin.

La Naomi Coffin is a post-grad-uate of Cincinnati Conservatory under the famous Tirindell. She is recognized as one of the Chautauqua and Lyceum's foremost artists on the violin. Besides giving heavy solos by familiar composers, she has a number of her own arrangements of old familiar folk songs, negro melodies, and hymns.

The program of the De Wlllo Company consists of classical, grand opera, and modern music. Such combinations as concertina and violin;

lin, and piano are used. Each member also plays the piano.

Studenta will find this program well worth their time and money, as it is one of the strongest of the numbers included on this year's community Lyceum course. The next and last number will be the program by the Welsh Imperial Singers on March 9.

We had new soup bowls at dinner —shallow ones and much easier to seine from, but not so capacious. Had just two apricots instead, of three for dessert. That tiresome de-pression again.

Met Charles Austin this morning just as he discovered a flat tire on his vehicle. His only exclamation was, "Aw, rats" Don’t tell me these preachers can't practice what they preach.

Speaking of vehicles, what's that new contraption Lillian C. was herd-ing down Euclid today? She must have been trucking back some li-brary books.

In the evening we went downtown to the Cross Road Playermakers' Meeting and sat for a full hour entertained by Miss Lehman's Interpretation of "The Barretts of Wim-pole Street". A good play with an excellent cast, all impersonations by Miss Lehman.

JAN. 19—Already they begin to speak to us of examinations and the ordeal is yet a whole day off. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof," Thought for awhile I was losing all my friends, until I remembered that it was cramming season. These blank looks are merely a cam-ouflage to obtain mercy from these heartless hunters of facts.

Noticed a few bright spots on the horizon, though; Don Trostle's new henna-colored sox and Cleason Min-ter'a good looking tie.

Ate some J. J. on bread for the noonday meal and it was almost appetizing. Had always thought those amber-colored jars in the center of the table were for ornamental purposes only.

More campus capers are being mapped for the Quad. It's getting quite metropolitan around here. Can’t step outside without getting shot.

Got a cheerful little earful from Youse Who this evening. Somebody told somebody that she knew somebody who saw L. Lewis buy a wedding ring down town yesterday. Not so fast, Lewis, not so fast. The fellows haven't recovered from Brad-ley's cigars yet.

JAN. 20—Up betimes today, for the day of Judgment was at hand. As a special feature of the feast for the condensed we had eggs for breakfast. Satisfactory with everyone but the dishwasher who preferred to save his energy for two exams instead of expending it on egg

Prof. Harnly almost upset our Orderly slacks of facts by his allusions to Amos and Andy. How anyone can jest in the face of such a crisis! Chopin's funeral march and a rendition of "Why Should the Spirit of Mortal Be Proud" would have suited the General mood belter.

Prof. Bright had a modernistic idea for arranging the chairs in the torture chamber. Wonder if that was supposed to be a last diabolical touch to complete our bewilder-ment?

Having spent the day weeping over quizzes and the night weeping over "The Champ" I must iron a few handkerchiefs and go to bed.

JAN. 21—Woke up this morning with the feeling that several thousand flu germs had invaded my anatomy and were starting a big war. The room was upside down when I crawled out of the downy bed so I went back and waited for it to right itself. By ten-thirty everything looked normal except the vision in the mirror which usually looks un-usual anyway so I decided that the flu was not yet upon me. Such a disappointment, I was hoping I’d get a little attention and breakfast in bed.

Butterscotch pie for dinner! Every little blessing helps during exams. Decided that Wilbur W. had become a grocery clerk until I saw him use the pencil over his ear for an exciting game of "Navy Battle". Other dining room observations: Nellie

Saw a light in the gym tonight so went exploring and was rewarded by the eight of our faculty playing volleyball. What a transformation! You'd never recognise the fellow with the white duck trousers, grey sweater, and broken-billed cap as our debate coach. His white collar and flat black hat were conspicuously absent. Nor would you have known at first that the follow in the nondescript unionalls was our Professor of Education. But "by their fruits shall ye know them." Hess simply could not keep that eloquent tongue of his still. He was official score caller. And Blair's tongue was also in evidence, especially when he was working hard to get a ball over the net. Some of the other stars (and they were good) were Bohling, Fries, Dell, and Bowman. You’d be surprised what excellent volleyball this particular club plays. The ball

twenty times before it goes down or out of bounds. Not many college teams can boast of better skill.

JAN. 22—Friday, Exams over and a basketball victory! And three days of vacation. (Not a bad moon, eith-

M. C. SHOPS RIVAL FURNITURE FACTORIES

McPherson college woodwork shops, under the direction of Prof. S. M. Dell. Approximately 110 large pieces have already been completed in the shops during the first semester, besides a large number of smaller articles. Many pieces also are now in the various stages of completion, and not included in the number of finished articles.

Although a great deal of the work has been done by men taking their first course in woodwork, the results would do credit to any manufacturer of home furnishings.

Here is a partial list of the articles already finished in the shops this year: 3 tilt top tables, 3 parlor tables, 3 footstools, 2 mallets, a bean bag board, 3 walnut cedar chests, 9 combination book racks, 4 nut bowls,

4 sets of candle sticks, a dressing table bench, a book rack, a table lamp, 2 bud vases, a match holder a powder box, 7 hammer handles, 3 spoon holders, 4 card trays, 3 gav-els, 4 darning eggs, 3 turned dresser sets, 3 end tables, 4 stationery boxes, a medicine cabinet, 2 book shelves,

mounted), a tool box, a fishing tackle box, a button box, a turned spider box, a chair rocker, a cake pullman, a barometer frame, an ironing board,

2 clocks and another clock case, a neck the reck, 4 drawing boards, a drawing table, a dozen or twenty paddles!, and what’s this ... a dozen dice, a telephone stand, 2 bread boards, a shoe polishing box, 10 palettes, an insect box, a fruit bowl, a magazine basket, a recipe box, and a

About thirty additional articles, most of them pieces of furniture, are not yet finished and therefore not included in the list given.

It has been the aim of the woodwork classes this year to analyze the learning units involved in making each project undertaken. Thus the student can more critically judge the worth of what he is doing, see his mistakes more readily, and more fully appreciate the finished product. In accordance with this plan each of thirty-three students enrolled in the woodwork classes was required to make a wood block, following direct ions given by the teacher. The task appeared to be very simple, but when analysed the students discovered that there were eighteen learning units involved in its completion. At the end of the semester's work each student was asked to do the project a second time, after a semes-ter’s training. The improvement was quite noticeable.

ALUMNI MAGAZINE TO BE PUBLISHED SOON

A number of McPherson students and friends were guests in the homes of Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Trostle. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Trostle, and Fay Kimball near Nickerson, Kansas, over the week-end. The group spent the week-end in numerous interesting diversions. An enjoyable feature of the entertainment was the showing of the motion pictures that have been filmed by Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Trostle. Gulah Hoover and Pauline Dell took part in the church service at Nickerson Sunday; Miss Hoover sand, and Miss Dell played a piano solo. Several members of the group returned to the campus Sunday night, while the others motored to Hutchinson, where they witnessed the special McPherson college program put on at the Brethren Church.

Those included in the party were: Alberta Yoder, Esther Pole, Pearl Walker, Gulah Hoover, Pauline Dell, Faithe Ketterman, Essie Kimball, Ruth Trostle, Paul Sherfy, Donald Trostle, Clinton Trostle, Lloyd Larsen, Delbert Kelly, Kermit

Hayer, Guy Hayes, Harry Zinn, and Keith Kimball, Essie Kimball, who was a freshman at M. c. last year, is now a student at Hutchinson Junior college. Guy Hayes is teaching near his home at Geneseo, Kansas. He spent two years at McPherson college. Both Ruth Trostle and Harry Zinn are graduated of the class of 1931, who are teaching in high

Third Issue to be Dedicated to the Class of 1922

The 1932 issue of the Alumni Magazine is soon to make its appearance. Early this week members or the editorial staff announced that the magazine would be out within the next two weeks.

This will be the third issue of the Alumni Magazine, which has been published twice previously in the spring of 1930 and 1931. Orville

"Choosing a Vocation” Is Title of Interesting Talk

Dr. V. F. Schwalm, president of McPherson college, and Ernest Wall, presided of the local Chamber of Commerce, drove to Navarro, Milford, and Abilene last Sunday in the interests of advertising the college. They were accompanied by the college Male Quartet, composed of Messers Nachtigal, Kim Bradshaw, and Siemens, the college Ladies' Quartet composed of Mrs. Hollaway and Misses Flora, Sherfy, and Edwards, and Mrs. Anna C. Tate, soloist.

A program of quartet selections, solos, and a talk by Dr. Schwalm was given in the Church of the Brethren at Navarre in the morning, and at Abilene in the evening. Splendid interest was manifested by congregations present at each of the programs.

In the afternoon at two o’clock the group found themselves, after a ride which ended the life of a dog and upset Mrs. Tate's nerves, at Milford shut up in a sound proof room with a tiny electrical apparatus known as a microphone which would transmit every sound they made to the listening world. As each person took his place before the microphone he was mentally seeing his parents and friends listening tensely for the sound of a familiar

Hays, Kansas, Jan. 33—The Hays Tigers won a nonconference basketball game from the McPherson college Bulldogs here tonight. The final score was 47 to 25.

Hays jumped into an early lead and steadily increased it as the game progressed. The entire Hays team was going good and all were exceptionally "hot" on the basket. At one time during the first half the score was 23-2, and at this point Rock and Johnston went into the McPherson lineup at the forward positions. The McPherson team held the Tigers during the remainder of the half while the Bulldog total was in-creased to 10 points.

In the last half the Hays team continued to hold its lead while Mc-Pherson was trying hard to overcome it. The Tigers presented an unusually good offense and a defense that the Bulldogs found hard to penetrate. Wilkinson scored 13 points while Rock made 11 points

BULLDOGS WILL PLAY

WESLEYAN COYOTES

The next basketball game for the Bulldogs is scheduled for Friday night, when they tangle with the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes in a conference game at Salina. Thus far the Coyotes have not won a conference game but they are planning to upset the Bulldogs.

The Wesleyan quintet seem to be very good at upsetting the dope because two years ago they gave the Bethany Swedes their only conference defeat and have always given the Bulldogs hard battles.

Dyck, who starred last year for the Coyotes is back again at his forward position. Besides several lettermen Wesleyan has some freshmen that have been showing up well. Last year McPherson and the Wes-leyan team divided games with each team winning on the other team’s Court. Coach Binford has been drill-ing his cagers hard and is planning on taking the Coyote basketeers into camp at Salina Friday night.

The Bulldogs broke into the winning^- column last Friday night by defeating the strong Ottawa univer-sity team. Ottawa, until Friday night, was undefeated in the Kansas Conference race, having won from Kansas Wesleyan the week before by a 21-12 count.

Bethel college seems to have one of the better college teams of the stale. The Mennonites routed Kan-sas Wesleyan of the Kansas Conference by a score of 44 to 22. Baker, the other member of the conference, is still undefeated. The Wildcats did not play any conference game during

The Bulldogs tangle with Kansas Wesleyan next Friday night at Sa-lina. Wesleyan lost her only conference game played so far, but nevertheless usually has a good team. The Bulldogs will have all that they run handle when they meet the Coyotes.

Tues., Jan. 25—Marcella Stansel opened the Y. W. C. A. meeting this morning with the playing of a prelude.

Lola Hawkins had charge of the program, and read a scripture passage at the beginning. Ellen Steinberg, accompanied by Mildred Ronk, sang a solo.

Mrs. F. A. Replogle gave an exceedingly interesting and helpful talk on "Choosing a Vocation." She saud that the magic word in life is work. In past generations women

They were the spinners, weavers, bakers, laundresses—the hubs in the wheel of family life. The general lack of such creative work now is responsible for much of the restlessness which exists in the home.

The problem of uniting a career and married life is challenging the people of today. Psychologists de-clare it is necessary to assume that every girl will marry in order for colleges to serve their ultimate pur-

are not seriously interested in their work. They consider their work only as a makeshift until they marry. The chief disadvantage of the attitude is a general mediocrity is their work. They not enter wholeheartedly into their occupation and consequently are not very successful. The same attitude is later reflected in their homes.

There is no reason now why women cannot be happy in their vocations because they have such a wide variety from which to choose.

Unusual excitement was ahead, for someone had decided to stage a wedding and Mrs. Tate was requested to sing "0 Promise Me”. A search was started for a copy of the music, which was ultimately found. The Ladles' Quartet, then in the process of rendering a selection, was shut off, Mrs. Tate and her accompanist hustled off to another studio, and the wedding properly begun. That over, the concert continued as If nothing had happened. The congratulatory messages which came in caused first one face and then another to light up as familiar names were rend. Soon it was over and the party was on its way back to Abilene, tired but happy.

A visit to the palacial Brown Memorial Home for the Aged, the evening program, and the drive home completed the adventure and wrote finis to a memorable day.

What a day! It began at six-fif-teen with an Anvil Chorus from the radiators. I stuffed a pillow in my ears and lay in misery for fifteen cons or so. Just as the torment was subsiding with a few last sniffles and snuffles the six-thirty rising bell began. That curdler-of-the-milk-of-human-kindness is so arranged that it alternately rings and buzzes. With one's head under a pillow the busting becomes inaudible and one relaxes in the belief that the worst is over. Rut no! In a second or two the racket begins again. There is a lull and hope is renewed only to be shattered by another shrill explosion. Having survived thus far without insanity or profanity. I nestled down for a half hour's nap.

But the roommate evidently had less powers of endurance than I. Jumping from the bed she clumped around the room in hard-heeled slippers, but the windows dawn with twin bangs, and began jerking the

drawers of the dresser. Two staccato thuds in my ear told me that she had kicked off the slippers; a squeak

nerves that she had gone to brush her teeth; and one last slam reverberated that she had departed for breakfast. At last! Twenty minutes of delicious peace. But not yet—I had forgotten the break-bell. Five peals and five buzzes were yet to be endured. Such is the average early morning program broadcasted by M. C. C.

You hear a lot about banging by an eyelash to the rail of an old dorm cot but take it from me they're high in my estimation during the morning hours and they're a lot easier on the anatomy than some of these stiff Puritanical classroom chairs. Of course people have been known to sleep in even those chairs, such is the general attitude toward sleep around this institution. I met Wheeler Kurtz coming out of Room 6 last week with a full-sized yawn on his face and the remark that he’d enjoyed the hour very much. And L. Lehman usually manages to get twenty or forty winks in Novel class thrice a week.

Old Rip Van Winkle was the luckiest guy, though. Just think, for twenty years, or 7.300 mornings he rolled over and kept right on sleeping. Next to Rip it would be quite O. K. to be an Eskimo and sleep for six months at a time. Those two careers usually being denied one, I think I’d next choose to be an opera star, a dramatic critic, or a professional basketball player. One wouldn't have to go to work until eight o'clock P. M. which means seven P. M. at the earliest as the fatal hour for rising.

I’ve read somewhere that they've invented an alarm clock with a phonograph attachment so that instead of a raucous bell you can hear Ruddy Wallee or Paul Whiteman. Not that the former would be so much better than the alarm, but that's for you to decide.

And hotels now hire telephone girls for their- sweet soft voices. When you awake in the morning, you can hear, instead of the stereotyped “Eight o'clock, sir”, a honeyed

"Good morning, Mr. Smith. It’s now eight o'clock, the hour at which you wished to be called." Which is not so bad if you don't happen to be Mr. Jones who wanted to arise at eleven o’clock.

These are merely a few sugges-tions for the solution of what I consider the greatest problem on this campus—To overcome the students
