SENSE OF HUMOR |
The thing that most of us need is a sense of humor. A sense of humor keeps one from taking oneself too seriously and from indulging in self-
pity. If we run draw our pet worries out into the light and make fun of them, they immediately become less forbidding and dissolve as if by
Some one has said that laughter and tears are closely akin and if by laughing crying can be avoided—no much the better.
If one is inclined to regard his own ideas as the last word and if he can bear no criticism of fun at his expense, he is taking himself entirely too seriously. Before he is lowered too much in the eyes of his fellows, in addition to being unhappy himself, he had better begin culti-vating or unearthing a sense of humor.-M. C. S.
The person who has tried and failed is a lot more likeable than the one who has never tried at all.
If you don’t look after your own interests somebody else will.
Get your pleasure as you travel alone. It's foolish to wait until you have scaled the brights before you view the scenery.
Scandal is when nobody did any-thing, and somebody told it. Ignor-ance is when you don’t know anything and somebody finds it out.
Still, as of old men by themselves
For forty pieces Judas sold himself, not Christ.

W. S. G. DISCUSSES
BUDGET FOR YEAR
DO IT NOW
Stop resorting to idle wishing! Do something about getting the thing and achieving the success that you desire. If you want to be a singer, don’t sit down, twiddle your thumbs, and decide that it could never be-get up and start practicing scales. If you want to be a novelist—begin now. Don't wait until you have lots of time or money to start writing. If you are over-weight and you think that you really should stop eating those extra bars, there is no time like the present to begin reducing.
In order to accomplish anything at all, you must decide on your goal, make your plans, and then keep your eyes on your goal—M. C. S.
SEEN ON THE CAMPUS HEARD IN THE DORM.
IF CHINA WERE ARMED
It is encouraging to note that at least a few of the newspapers of size and influence take exception to the too common viewpoint that the way to peace and trust and goodwill among nations is armed preparedness for warfare; that the way to get along with a sister nation is to stand armed to the teeth and ready to set in motion the machinery of hateful vengeance and bloodshed the moment that she makes a move calculated to be aggressive or dangerous.
We reprint an editorial from the Topeka Daily Capital, showing the dis-usefulness of cannons in one importance instance:
"If China were well armed and organized from a military point pf view”, the Iola Register notes, there would not now be any war in Shang-hai”. The same idea bristles up from many newspapers.
"If China were as military-minded as Japan and as well armed, nobody can say what might have happened, not this winter but 5, 10, 20 or 50 years ago. It would have altered the world balance. Former Kaiser William's "yellow peril" obsession might have been more than Justified. The World war might never have been fought. But what other unimaginable wars might have been, who can say? certainly, it China were an aggressive military power, instead of being a passive country not interested in imperialism, not to be taken into consultation or considered when large imperial programs by other predatory powers were projected, more can be said at what might have happened than that Japan's Manchurian adventure probably would not have.
"On the whole, the world is to be congratulated that China’s 400 millions were not inclined in a military way in the last century or the last several centuries. There was once a military ruler of China, a good many centuries ago. And what Jenghlz Khan did to western and southern Asia and eastern and southeastern Europe was plenty. It is fortunate for other nations, if not for China, that China has not gone in strongly for "national defense" along with other powers. It is fortunate that Germany today is unarmed. That because unable to defend herself she will be attacked and annihilated is not likely. The German people are ready for general disarmament, being disarmed themselves, and believe they can get along if their neighbors disarm. Otherwise they will sooner or later join the armed powers.
"There is work for the Geneva disarmament conference to do, and there will be more for future conferences of the same kind."
A friend signing himself "Old Time Reader" reminds of a mistake in an item concerning Miss Prudence Ihrig which appeared in this column last week. Miss Ihrig is not a graduate of this college, but attended in the 1928-29 term and the 1930 summer term. She is now teaching in Page City, Kansas, and not near Monument as was slated. Excuse us.
Tues., Feb. 9—The World Service Group held a special meeting in the Y. W. C. A. room at 6:30 tonight, to discuss the budget of the organi-zation and the arrangements for deputation teams. Membership dues were fifty rents during the first semester and will be the name for the second semester. In a discussion of the budget, it was decided to pledge two hundred dollars to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Crumpacler, missionaries on the China field. Both Mr. and Mrs. Crumpacker are alumni of McPher-

Fri., Feb. 12—In observance of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday Pres. V. F. Schwalm reviewed a few phases of the great man’s life in the chapel service this morning.
"Abraham Lincoln.” said Presi-dent Schwalm, "is honored not only-in America, but is found in the list of the world's great men." The qualities which he especially emphasized in Lincoln were the peculiar sadness and melancholy about his life, his "personal loving kindness." his unflinching confidence in what he be-lieved to be truth and right, and his ability and willingness for self-
aside when Mercenary to promote the cause for which he was working.
The speaker made mention of Lincoln's mastery of style in his writings so that they are now considered as literary masterpieces.
During the program a large picture of Lincoln, which usually hangs in the south hall of Sharp Hall, was displayed on the chapel stage.
Responsibilities gravitate to the person who can shoulder them, and power flows to the man who knows

STEADFASTNESS OF PURPOSE
A great writer has said, "A life without a purpose is like a ship with-out a sail." A ship, no matter how precious its cargo, would be of little use to the world anting idle out in the middle of the ocean bound for nowhere. But the question is "How steadfast are we going to be holding to our purpose?" Are we going to let the first puff of wind that threatens our voyage discourage us and cause us to forget all about the enthusiasm which we had at the first of the year?
The men who build the great structures in our large cities must have steadfastness of purpose, else there would be many half-finished buildings dotting our cities. Those who have planned and designed new mechanical devices must have been steadfast in their purpose, or we would never have had all the modern conveniences perfected to a high degree an we have them today. Fields of waving grain such as we see in the summer-time show that those who planted them must have had a vision in the spring of the year and that they were steadfast in their efforts to reach their goal.
Surely more important than any of these tasks is the work of the Church, the building of the Kingdom of God, One of our most important goals should be to help others to know Jesus Christ. Let us not forget to ever work toward this end and to ever keep in mind the vision that the workers for Christ must have—H. R.
Prof. R. E. Mohler motored to Osborne Saturday afternoon, where he spoke in a teacher’s meeting that afternoon. He was accompanied by Lola Hawkins, and Grace and George Lerew, who went from Osborne to the Lerew home in Portis, and Delvis Bradshaw, who went to his home at Waldo. They returned to the cam-
W. A. A. INITIATION IS IN PROGRESS TODAY
Thursday, the fatal day of the W. A. A. initiation, for which pros-pective members have been waiting with confused feelings of anxiety and happy anticipation, fadded into in-significance yesterday when it was learned that the event, was to occur today instead of tomorrow. Con-flicting activities tomorrow were given as the reason.
With the examination over the constitution a thing of the put the
candidates have been looking forward lo this occasion with great expectation. Those with the most vivid imaginations have pictured themselves on their knees in Harnly Hall scrubbing; others dreamed of running around garbed in one of Miss Heckethorn's dresses, carrying a stack of books. Such nights as those you may see today if you but gaze about you.
The final mysterious rites for new members are scheduled to occur sometime this evening.
Program Includes Selections in Voice, Violin, and piano
Mon., Feb. 15.—Thirteen musical numbers were given this evening in the college chapel at, a recital promoted by students of the fine arts department. The program included selections in voice, violin, and piano.
"Firelight," a reading by Velma Amos announced on the program, was omitted because Miss Amos was called out of town to the funeral of her aunt, Mrs. W. T. Luckett.

HAVE YOU HEARD, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, AS YOU LIKE IT We decided to innovate one of these fashionable and much talked about columns into the dear and beloved Spectator which leaves it up to you as to how much you are going to believe and you can swallow as much of it as you think is digestible, which is quite all right in literary circles, so we have discovered in perusing Shakespearian dramas. We'll be truthful when necessary, but when possible to vary a little from the routine of veracity, we'll not bother our inner selves about our future lives nor suffer any serious qualms of spirit. HAVE YOU HEARD THAT— We honestly have a freshman here on this campus an ardent admirer of a certain lovely lady, who is foolish enough to spend hard earned shekels buying a dozen perfect carnations to send to the aforementioned fair one. And all this after she had cut him cold several times before, and didn't appreciate the significance of the carnations. There is another young man, this time a senior, who is even worse off than the first one. He and his lady had some sort, of an affair, anyhow they don't travel around together any more, and he told us himself that he had lost ten pounds of good avoirdupois worrying over the situa- The men in Fahnestock Hall are not as tough as they like to make believe, otherwise they surely would not allow a little wedding cigar to make them so weak and dizzy they looked as tho’ they were gassed or shell shocked and to force them to recuperate under the bed covers.

But was meant for a far more romantic place in life, and as proof of this he has resigned his present dignified position at McPher-son College in order to enter the profession of a radio entertainer, not as a crooner of popular medleys, only as a prominent lecturer. This decision was made after his recent renowned success at the Milford sta-tion on Sunday afternoon. The influential ones in the Busi-ness Office, namely Professor Fries and Maurine Stutzman, have gone into conference and as a result of this conference are prepared to make the announcement to all college stu-dents owing money to the McPher-son College, whether a large or small sum, that these debts are can-celed, each and every one of them in full (Two hundred and twenty-five students about "Hooray!" The faculty in the last meeting, formally decided without any request of such nature from the stu-dents themselves, in other words it was original with the faculty, to abolish at one sweep all the final exams at the end of this last semester that is for the Seniors only. Their reasoning ran thus: if we are not able to tell what a student can do after being here for eight, semes- not going to expose the limitations of our knowing ability to these students even if we do have to forego the pleasure of inflicting one final testing upon the poor mortals. (Every Senior, but one, shouts a loud "Hooray", and he is the one who graduated at mid-semester and won't know the pleasant feeling.) We are going to be forced to en-dure chapel only once a week and then we are absolutely secure in the knowledge that we shall have a good program because if we do not, each faculty member must submit to a fine of fifty cents whether he had anything to do with the program or not. Thus we are almost assured that we will have a program from the outside, for no one family member has enough faith in no one other faculty member's ability to risk having him responsible for the program. That much we know! The trustees promised us two new dormitories, if we continued to be as good children as we were when they visited us. The dormitories will be equipped something like this: There will be a unite of three rooms for two couples or otherwise four individuals, each snite will possess a private bath and a sleeping porch, a radio, floor lamps, divans, a refrigerator full of delicacies for the ten o’clock repast, and any other necessities. Moreover they have also promised private dating parlors (how nice), and the very latest movies two nites a week in order that the boys and girls won't need to travel so great a distance to secure part of their education. Professor Blair and his secretary through their placement bureau have definitely guaranteed every Senior an excellent teaching posi-tion for this next year, the only provision being that the Senior desires a position. College authorities have decided that we need more technical train-ing in manners; consequently they have inaugaurated this idea. There will be a formal dinner in the dining hall once a week, probably on Wednesday evening, and the food will be in keeping with the word formal. On this occasion the fellows will not be allowed to enter the dining hall if they are dressed in seraters and dirty cords. This is enough of Have You Heard —We hadn't heard any of these wild things either, but just thought perhaps we might like to.

Melvin Landes, the shelkish junior, spends long hours waving his locks and then attempting to hold the waves in with two packages of Bobbie Pins, he goes to bed to rest, unless disturbed by some curious fellows in the dorm.

Loren Rock needs some more education. When Professor Blair gave certain Psychology course, he just refered to a certain book as "ibid” the second time he mentioned it.

WESLEYAN PROFESSOR ADDRESSES Y. W. C. A.Tues,. Feb. l6—Miss Mary Camp-bell, Dean of Women and head of the French department at Kansas Wesleyan university, spoke to the girls of the Y. W. C. A. this morning. Her subject was "Seeing Ourselves as Others See Us.” She has studied in France, becoming well acquainted with the French people. As a result she is able to see American people through the eyes of the French. She discussed some of the failures com-mon to the American people which the French regard as typical.

Then Helen Holloway, who was in charge of the entertainment, divided the guests into four groups and each group put on a short original pro-gram. Clever readings, songs, and stunts were given, revealing unusual talent among the groups. The revelation of the one who had been responsible for the "heart sister” deeds of kindness done for each girl during the week was most in-teresting. This was done in a unique  |
manner by means of matching parts of Valentines. The large group of girls who par-ticipated in this event enjoyed the surprises and mystery surrounding the "Heart Sister Week." Many clever and original ideas were carried Tea was served at the tea table which was in harmony with the Val-entine season. Sweet peas formed nished the illumination.

 MCPHERSON COLLEGE UNDERGO SURVEY SOON BETHANY SEEMS SURE OF KANSAS LOOP TITLELarson Brothers Are Strong Factors in Showing Made by the Swedes.Ottawa, McPherson follow Kansas Conference Standings
Mon., Feb. 15- The Bethany college Swedes, now half way through the Kansas Conference basketball schedule, appear certain to retain the championship for this season. The Swedes have scored two points to their opponents' one, having scored 166 points in four games to 83 for their opponents. The Larson brothers continue to be the main part of Bethany's scoring machine. In the game with Baker Friday night Larson and Larson made 32 points out of 48, against 25 for the Methodists. Bethany also gained its vengeance over Bethel college, which defeated the Swedes by one point earlier in the season, by taking a Ottawa strengthened its claim to second place in standings by beating McPherson 21 to 10 Friday night, but in turn dropped a nonconference game to the Haskel Indians, 17 to 23. Kansas Wesleyan continued to lose its cage contests last week. Baker outscored the Coyotes to the tune of 37 to 38, and Rockhurst won 13 to 26 after defeating the Coyotes earlier in a game at Kansas City. Baker lost an exhibition contest to Ozark Wesleyan at Baldwin Sat-urday night 26 to 27. Kansas Conference games this week: Thursday—Baker vs. McPherson at McPherson. Friday -Baker vs. Kansas Wes-leyan at Salina, Bethany vs. Ottawa at Ottawa. — DRIPPINGS —from THE DOPE BUCKETOttawa evened matters with the Bulldogs by defeating them at Ottawa Friday night. McPherson won from the Braves by a two-point mar-gin here earlier in the season and now Ottawa has defeated the Bull-dogs by a two-point margin on her Ottawa also lost a game last week to the Haskel Indians in a non-con -ference exhibition contest by a score of 17-23. Haskell is coached by Weller, a former student at Haskell and an all round athlete. Kansas Wesleyan continued its losing streak by losing one confer-ence and one non-conference game this last week. Baker defeated the Coyotes by a score of 27-38 and Rockhurst college of Kansas City won from them in a nonconference exhibition by a 13 to 26 score. The Swedes are continuing to show their supremacy over Kansas Conference opponents by winning games with large margins. This week they won from Baker by a 48 to 25 count. The Larsen brothers Carl and Herbert, have been scoring heavily in recent games. It looks as though it will be hard for any conference team to stop the Swedes. The Bulldogs tangle, this week with a team that has defeated them earlier in the season. Baker won from the Bulldogs by two points in McPherson's first conference game for the season. Since that time Mc-Pherson has improved enough that it should win this game. Both McPherson and Baker are now tied for third place in loop standings, and the result of tomorrow's game will send one of the teams competing down to fourth place. On next Tuesday night the Bull- |
dogs will tangle with the last place Kansan Wesleyan team in a conference game at McPherson. McPher-son should win this game, but it is altogether possible that the Wesley-anites may spring an upset and win a game. They have been unfortunate in their games so far this season, losing every conference contest by a small margin. However, as a basketball opponent Wesleyan is certainly not to be despised. V. Control and administration, Boards of control should have freedom to use their best judgment in the interests of the institution in any situation. Unity of internal admin- administrative responsibility should be given more attention. VI. Physical plant, both adequacy of plant, and desirability of aesthetic qualities are essential. VII. Faculty. The faculty is recognized as the heart of an institu- VIII. Instruction. In general the number of departments should be reduced by grouping related subjects into larger units or divisions. IX and X. Student body and stu- ing its students below the average level of college student ability should examine its selective admis-sion machinery or ask itself why it students.XI. Teacher training. Teacher training is a recognized function of the liberal arts college, and should be conducted according to modern XII. Curricula and student pro-, grams. The basic idea in curricu-lum building should be the education of individual students. XIII. Library. The growing importance of the library is generally recognized. In the administration of the library centralization rather than departmentalization is favored. XIV. Financial support and accounting. In general, organizations are either under supported or are offering, more extensive programs than available resources justify. Sur- setting up standards as bases for the compulation of financial needs XV. Provision for the religious life of students. A comprehensive but unified program with wide spread participation in practical activities should be offered. XVI. Extra curricular activities. The program should be unified and supervision should be provided. Some surveys favor fraternities while others question whether their existence can be justified. XVII. Physical education and allien to the corrective and recreative functions of physical education. Intra-mural athletics should be developed to the maximum, and intercol-legiate athletics should be made a regular part of the physical education program. The above brief statements are taken from a digest of a summary of college surveys made by F. M. Hes-ton, and are probably representative of the survey to which our own institution will be subjected. Pres. V. F. Schwalm stated that the survey may mean a great, deal for the systematization and organi-zation of the Church of the Brethren educational system. A request has been tendered to the Carnegie Foundation that that organization pay the expense of this survey, amounting to approximately $2000, and it is very likely that this request will be granted. LIBRARY CLOCK GETS A BATH Library patrons have perhaps no-ticed during the last few days that, the old faithful clock standing near the door, which has been known to strike the hours correctly twice in the same day, has been silent. Devoid of swinging pendulum, of bands, and in fact of its entire inner works, it had to quietly wait while Custodian Forney administered a thorough cleaning to the wheels and the things which make them go round. |
W. S. G. IN CHARGE OF MONDAY ASSEMBLYMary Weddle Tells of Purpos-es and Accomplishments ofthe World Service GroupMon., Feb. 15—Chapel assembly this morning was entirely in the hands of the local World Service Group. Following the opening hymn led by Harry Shank, Edith bechtel-heimer took charge of the devotional period. She read a poem entitled "Peace".A mixed quartet composed of Gu-lah Hoover, Lois Edwards, Harvey Shank, and Delvis Bradshaw sang an anthem, "The Heavens Resound." They were accompanied by Mildred Mary Weddle, treasurer of the W. S. G. gave a short talk on "What the World Service Group Is and What It Does." She read the opening passages of the constitution, set-ting forth the motto and purposes of the organization. Among its main purposes are the following: to cultivate the devotional life of its members: to create interest in religious vocations and social work: to aid in the creation of a Christian atmos-phere and environment on the cam-pus; and to aid in the spread of Christian influence by cooperating with missions. In the years 1930, 1931, and 1932, the World Service Group has accomplished many notable things, as pointed out by Miss Weddle. It has conducted several scries of study groups: it has furnished substitute Sunday School teachers on many occasion for the churches of McPher-son; it has sent groups of students to sing in the McPherson hospital on Sundays; it has cooperated with the local division of the Red Cross. Deputation work is perhaps the best known of the activities promoted by the World Service Group. In the period mentioned the group has ate deputation teams into all parts of Kansas, and also into Missouri, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. These teams have given fifty-seven pro-grams, mostly in churches and high schools. Another notable part of the port of foreign missions. Among Iarge contributions made last year are included gifts of one hundred fifty dollars each to the A. D. Hel-ser African Mission Fund and to the Crumpacker Fund for Missions inChina. The mixed quartet concluded the program by singing "Come Where the Lilies Bloom" and "Farewell to Thee”, Y. W. C. A. CABINET ISENTERTAINED AT PARTYFri., Feb. 12—This evening at 6:30 o'clock Miss Grace Heckman and Miss Ada Brunk entertained the members of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet at a waffle supper at the Heckman home on East Euclid. By means of Valentine place cards the guests found their places around the beautifully decorated table which carried out a Valentine motif with red and white as the predominant colors. After the serving of the delicious two course waffle supper interesting games and radio music were the sources of entertainment. The prizes for the various games in which the guests participated were won by Mary Weddle, Esther Brown, and Alberta Voder. Each girl made a small scrap book giving picture synopsis of that which might be her life history taking pictures from  |
magazines to illustrate the situa-tions. These wore most interesting. Those present to enjoy the evening were Esther Brown, Mary Weddle, Elizabeth Richards, Helen Holloway, Ethel Sherfy, Constance Rankin, Mattie Shay, Alberta Yoder, Ada Brunk, Grace Heckman, and Miss Della Lehman, an advisor of the association. Regrets were received from Evelyn Saylor. "JACK" LEHMAN, '31LEAVES LAW SCHOOLJohn Lehman, class of '31, who has been taking school work at Harvard Law School, Cambridge.
