On Mondaym Mary 16, a week ear-lier than last year, the 1932 Quad-rangle will be put into the hands of students, according to a statement by Editor Donald Trostle. With work on the yearbook rapidly progressing toward completion, the staff feels confident of its ability to have the book off the press by that time.

Most of the pictures, the most im-portant part of an annual are com-pleted and now in the hands of the Mid-continent Engraving company at Wichita, the firm which is doing the engraving work for the Quadrangle. All of the class pictures are already in, and a considerable part of the organization pictures are to be sent in this week, The remaining organization pictures are to be sent in within the next two weeks. Last Friday morning pictures were taken of four groups- the "M" Club, W. A. A., Chemistry Club, and Orchestra.

Donald Trosltle, with Ethel Sherfy, associate editor, has been supervis-ing the completion of copy for the accompanying writeups. A large part or this work is now nearing comple-tion. The staff plans to have all but sixteen pages of the annual sent to the printer before April 1. Others who are helping with work on the Quadrangle are Nellie Collins, editor of calendar and humor section; Del-ert Kelly, snapshot editor; and Har-vey Shank, photograph editor. Melvin Landes is an assistant business manager, aiding Verle Ohmart with the financial end of putting out the yearbook.

A novel feature this year is the publication of the McPherson College Directory, which is due to come off the press this week. It will contain all advertisements of business men which appear in the Quadrangle, thereby affording their advertise-ments far more publicity than could be affected by publication in the Quadrangle alone. It records the name, address, and telephone number of every student and faculty member of the college, in alphabeti-ical order. It is to be distributed free to students, tu McPherson business

ity. The Directory will be a valuable means of securing ready information regarding any student.

"Depression" apparently has no meaning for the 1932 Quadrangle staff, for they have adopted "Cheer-fulness" as the theme of the book.

Thurs., Mar. 3—Charles Austin, who has been acting president of the World Service Group since the beginning of the second semester, was elected president for the coming year at a meeting held this evening. He was vice-president of the club before the resignation of Philip Louver, who left school at the end of the first

Other officers who were elected this evening were Edith Bechtel-heimer, vice-president: Martha Andes, secretary; and Genevieve Crist, treasurer. Following the election, plans for the group's mission project were discussed. Several committees were selected to see that the project is advertised and to further the mis-sion cause by giving reports on mis-sionary literature at the regular meetings.

A series of mission study groups, to meet at 4:3- each Tuesday after-noon, will begin soon. Grace Heck-man is in charge of arrangements for the mission study groups.

Thurs., Mar. 3—Superintendent R. W. Potwin of the McPherson city schools was the speaker this evening at a very helpful and interesting meeting of the industrial arts majors, held in Professor Heckman's lecture room beginning at 8:00 o’clock. The speaker was primarily concerned with guiding the men in finding teaching positions after graduation, and gave them some valuable advice and information in this direction. The industrial arts majors have been meeting once each month to discuss problems in which they are interested in connection with their courses.

Seven students from the McPher-son college campus attended the Christian World Education confer-ence which was held last Saturday and Sunday at Wichita. The conference was sponsored by Wichita university and Friends University. Delegates were there from colleges and universities of Central Kansas. The conference was held in the Y. W. C. A. building. The first meeting was called to order at 10:00 no'clocl Saturday morning, when the general plan of the following meet-ings was outlined for the group. The theme of the conference was "World Citizenship", and a variety of subjects wan presented during the meetings in keeping with this them. Saturday afternoon Miss Marsh, a social welfare worker, told of her work in the soft coal mining regional of Kentucky. She described the pitiable condition of the—miners and their families, many of them being out of work and scarcely able to exist. Mr. Guy Gebbardt, a Y. M. C. A. worker of Wichita, led the group in a discussion of "The Cross a Bas-ic Principle of Economics". Such question as whether a person has the right to live in plenty when he knows others are starving were dis-cussed. After the meeting groups got together and informally discus-sed similar questions.

Next Sunday evening, March 13, the local Peace Oratorical Contest will take place in the Church of the Brethren, during the regular church hour which begins at 7:30 o'clock. An unusual interest is being mani-fested in the contest this year, with seven contestants having already signified their intention of entering the competition. They are Mildred Doyle, Blanch Harris, Lawrence Lehman, Donald Brumbaugh, Carrol Whitch-er, Elmer Staats, Kermit Hayes, and William Juhnke.

The state contest will take place on April 22. State prizes are sixty dollars and forty dollars. In past years McPherson college has proved a formidable foe to all opponents in the State Peace Contest. Three years ago John Lehman, then a sophomore, took the state first prize and proceeded to win the National Peace Contest with his oration. Two years ago Luelle Crabb won second place in the state contest, and last year Keith Hayes again put McPherson in front by taking first place.

Lois Edwards has been selected to carry the title role in the sacred cantata, “Ruth the Moabitess", which is to be given by the McPherson college glee clubs on Friday evening, April 8. The presentation will take place in the college chapel.

The part of Naomi will be taken by Helen Holloway, and Charles Austin plays opposite Miss Edwards in the role of Boaz. Other leading parts are as follows: First Reaper, Harvey Shank: Orpah, Mildred Dahlinger; Israelitish Woman, Ellen Steinberg: Jewish Maiden, Arlene Anderson; Messenger, Blanch Harris; Assistant Reaper, John Austin.

Rehearsals are now well under way, and a large number of students

are taking interest in the musical presentation. It is planned to use brilliant costumes combined with un-usual scenery and lighting effects to add to the effectiveness of the cantata. "Ruth the Moabitess" is similar in style to the cantata “Esther", which was presented with such success last year by the college mixed chorus. Numerous full chorus selections are combined with solos and duets to produce a variety of musical numbers.

A World Loyalty Dinner was given on Saturday evening following a short recreation period. A short program included musical numbers by Miss Mildred Monson, a Swedish girl, Mr. Alfred Woo, a young man whose home is in Shanghai, China, and Miss Esther Lee Davis, a negro girl. After the dinner Dr. Young of Wich-ita university, who has spent one summer in Geneva, told of the organization, work, and accomplishments of the League of Nations.

Sunday morning Dean Mary Van Zile of Manhattan spoke on the subject “The College Woman: Her Problem.” Following this the meeting was dismissed and the delegates attended some of the various churches of the

Mon., Mar. 7- Dean Fred A. Replogle spoke in chapel this morning on the subject of life guidance, par-ticularly in the field of vocational

college knowing what they are going to do, others come who are totally undecided", said Dean Replogle. People who leave college may be classified in the same two groups. The speaker stated that both groups are equally hard to help in vocational guidance.

He said that one cannot safely guide on the basis of symptoms; the deep, inherent interest of the in- dividual, if it can be discovered, is perhaps a safe guide to follow. A major problem is how to discover this inherent interest. It takes ob-jective analysis to separate artificial interests from rest interests.

The two fundamental things in vocational guidance, said the speak-er, are undergoing the individual and knowinf what he wants to do. The latter can be discovered to some extent by tests, but they are valuable merely for analysis and not for cure. The speaker quoted numerous sta-tistics to show the lack of adequate vocational direction being given by education, the lack of constancy in each individual's choice, and the large following of college students choosing such vocations as teaching as opposed to agriculture and home making.

Dean Replogle recommended Vocational Guidance Magazine to students, also the Columbia Broad-casting Company programs on voca-tional guidance, given on Saturday evenings.

Fri., March 4- McPherson college won two more state conference de-bates today, giving the school a lead-ing place in the race fot the 1932 championship. Bethel college and Kansas Wesleyan university where the obstructions swept from the path of the Bulldog teams in their way to the sixth state championship in the eleven years since Prof. Maurice A, Hess became coach of debate. If the McPherson debates can win the next two debates the worst place they can get is a tie for the championship, which will be played off in a final debate between the teams tied.

This afternoon at 2:00 o'clock the McPherson affirmative team, com-posed of Lilburn Gottman and Ward Williams, disposed of the Bethel neg-ative team in a debate held in the Bethel college chapel at Newton. They were opposed by Unruh and Jansen of Bethel. The judge was Prof. J. Thompson Baker, debate coach at Southwestern university and sponsor of the annual pre-season de-bate tourney held at Winfield.

Kansas Wesleyan university was the opponent of the McPherson neg-ative team in the McPherson college chapel, beginning at 8:00 o'clock this evening. Lawrence Lehman and Walter Wollman, members of the M. C. negative squad made a good showing, especially in refuting the points of their opponents, and won the decision of the critic judge, Prof. V. a. Davis of the Enflish depart-ment at K. S. T. C., Emporia. Springer and Bowers of the Wesley-an affirmative team furnished the opposition.

Coach Hess stated that both con- tests were good clean debated, and that the McPherson debaters were winners of both by respectable margins.

The next and last debate, excep-ting in the event of a tie, is schedul-ed to take place on Friday, March 18. the Friends University negative team will meet the McPherson affir-mative here, while the M. C. negative is battling the Sterling affirmative at Sterling.

The concluding address of the con-ference was given by Dr. Heckus of Wichita university who spoke of the conditions and world relationships of countries such as China, Japan, and India, and the need for more intimate relationships between the nations of the world. The better acquainted nations are, the better are their chances of forgetting hatred and jealousies and bringing

"We must not cut down on education!" was the keynote expressed by PResident Hoover, Senator LaFollette, Senator Fess, and other out-standin leaders of the country at the recent meeting of the department of superintendencies of the National Educational association, according to Supt. A. J. Stout, of Topeka. He has just returned from Washington where he has been in attendance at the sessions of the department.

"There are more children in schools now thatn there ever have been, and by crimping or holding back the possibilities of childhood will be robbed as will be the chances of life." Superintendent Stour said that the leaders of the country further agreed. "If there must be entrenchment, let it be some place other than education," they pleaded.

Education was pointed out as not only a guide and a safeguard, but a source of spiritual power, cultural power, and material power, and is likely to influence a whole life plan.

Other outstanding speakers, referring to the over-supply of men for jobs expressed the belief that eventually very few people under eighteen years of age would be employed, since the more machines that come into use, the more men go out.

"Education must not only prepare for the traditional, but for one to adjust himself to new situations," the educators believe.

Superintendent Stout also was more interested conflicting views of the college leaders, and the vocational guidance authorities. The college people, he said, are lamenting over that to do with all the excess college students, while the vocational authorities are trying to figure out a way to get everyone a job.

“In some ways, it seemed to me, the Vocational Guidance association has the clearest outlook on the situation. They are constantly facing a group of people who have been forced to change their jobs, and in many ways they are able to show us where we might improve, " Stout said.

The trend toward the increase in enrollment from the grades through the colleges, and the enormous growth in adult education was also stressed as ample reason why education should be kept up to its present high level and not allowed to slump.—Topeka Daily Capital.

Missionary agencies and activities can be best weather the present storms and can move out into larger things which satisfy their constituencies that they are holding fast to the faith of the fathers, and that fearlessly bring that faith to bear on new problems and tasks. there is an abiding and en-larging need for such a position today. Idolatry needs to be destroyed and sublimated by the knowledge of the God who is Spirit and Truth. Surfer-ing and want are real—in China with its famine, in India with its poverty, in Africa with its disease. Let anyone read Albert Sweitzer's “The Forest Hospital at Lambarene'' and he will have a first hand authentic picture of human misery.

The present day issue is whether the church will continue to hold the Gospel which can meet this need, and build its missionary enterprise upon it. There will be some earnest men and women, who will believe that the time has come to supercede or reconstruct this gospel and the world mission built upon it. But there will also be earnest men and Christian churches and agencies that will seek to meet the issues of the new time in now ways but with the same Gospel with which David Livingstone lifted the sombre fringes of the night in Africa.—Robert E. Speer.

Students whose domicile is the dormitory seem to labor under the illusion that they have any trialss and tribulations Ach! They should be town girls for awhile.

Dormitory sustenance? Humph! At least the dorm student does not hasten home all prepared to make his food do a Quick disappearing bet, only to find that he must cook the nourishment if he does not wish to see famine set in in the home. After lunch there is scarcely time to begin to study feverishly for the next class, when one finds that dish- washing is more urgent and imperative. The food receptacles simply must be put through their daily ablutions and there is hardly any time left in which to rush back to school. And naturally it is a most glorious and exhilarating feeling to learn that the spicy brunette in the next door, has been languidly studying her lesson for the last hour or so. No wonder she can be both spicy and brilliant!

Experimentation with synthetic at-mospheres, the field which has gained world recognition for Dr. J. Wil-lard Hershey and his department, and gained for the chemistry head a place on the program this year of the American ASsociation for the Ad-vancement of Science, is still going forward. A mixture of one half oxy-gen and one half hydrogen is being used at present in determining the

whie mice. These experiments have been progressing for approximately a month, under the careful eye of Ralph Keedy, assisted by Dr. Her-shey and other members of the department. The deaths of four unlucky mice were required in finding that these animals could live from five to seven days in such a mixture.

ing in charge of experiments conducted with an atmosphere of pure oxygen. Twenty tests in all are being run with this element as the only support of life. While mice are found to live in pure oxygen seven or eight days, a slight increase over the time of survival in the OH mixture. The par-ticular object of the present tests is to determine whether sex is a sig-nificant factor in the ability to sur-vive under such conditions. To'date no appreciable difference has been noted.

"Home made diamonds", made a possibility by the achievements of Dr. Hershey in this field, hold a fascination for Walton Smith, John Austin, and Leland Engherg, who are engaged in various experiments cal-culated to produce the gems in the laboratory. The process as worked out at first by Dr. .Hershey and his assistants was to melt the mixture of carbon obtained from sugar with iron filings, the pressure resulting from the cooling contraction of the metal serving to extert-on the carbon the tremendous compression requir-ed to convert black carbon into glit-tering diamonds. It has been thought that a large pan of the carbon in the mixture became oxidized before the metal was sufficiently heated, faulting in a great loss of the former element in the process. The students are now working to overcome thid. Instead of mixing the carbon with the iron fillings, they are melt-ing the iron before putting the car-

It is Quite likely that remarkable achievements will soon be announced as a result of another year's experi-mentation in the M. C. chemistry laboratories, as they have nearly every year since Dr. Hershey came to the hand of the local department.

“AUTO IS MORE FATAL THAN WAR”—MOHLER

Wed., Mar. 2—Dean R. E. Mohler delivered a chapel address this morning on "wrecks". He brought some astounding facts before his student audience about deaths and injuries occuring from wrecks in the material world, and also made some surprising comparisons.

First he compared the death rate from accidents with those occurring in the World War for the United States during its eighteen months participation. He stated that in that war them were 50,510 deaths, while during the eighteen months ending in the year 1932, there occurred 63,640 deaths as a result of accidents. This reveals ian increade of over 13, 000 deaths in a time of peace but

In 1930 there were 32,500 deaths as a result of the auto, while there were 25,000 deaths resulting from industrial accidents. Auto deaths have been on the increase as shown from these figures: in the period front 1916'20 there were 52,000; from 1921-'25 there were 88,000 and from 1926-'30 there were 141,000.

During the eighteen months in the world war there were 182,764 wounded, while in the last eighteen months there were 1,576,840 persons

injured in auto accidents. This is more than the population of the state of Washington which has a population of 1,563,701. The eco-

nomic cost yearly is $2,000,000,000 while the yearly fire loss is only $500,000,000. In giving some of the principal couses of accidents Dean Mohler suggested too much speed and liquor as being the chief causes.

Dean Mohler gave these figures to show at what ages persons in 54 years- 54.9%l 55 years and over —22.5%.He stated that at the present time the period between the ages of 5 years to 14 years is decreasing, but that the period between 15 years and 54 years is increasing. Sundays seem to be the days when the highest number of injuries occur, while Tuesdays run the lowest.

In pointing the way out from this problem Dean Mohler said it would be a good policy to follow the lead of the Railroad Companies in enfor-cing the eighteenth amendment.

ner the importance of living clean, character-building life. The wercking of human lives is much more seri-ous than that of automobiles because the material things can be repaired or replaced while human lives can-not. The wrecking of human life re-sults from too fast living, bodily abuses, and unhealthy habits, and

body, and morals. He concluded by stating that after a human life or automobile is once wrecked it is never the same as it was before it

Sun., March 6—Tonight's Christian Endeavor program presented the teachings of Jesus in story and song. The entire program was given with the lights dimmed. The congrega-tional music consisted of two well known hymns sung from memory, Odessa Crist, the chairman of the meeting, led devotions.

The teachings of Christ, as given in the Scriptures, were further em-phasized by special music and read-ings. Those who took part in the special music, included a mixed quart- tet consisting of Gulah Hoover, Lois Edwards, Harvey Shank, and Delvis Bradshaw, and Mildred Fries and Gladys Webb, who sang a duet, Ruth Ihdem Edith Bechtelheimer, and Ralph Keedy read short poems.

CHEM. STUDENTS WILL

GIVE A PLAY TOMORROW

The Chemistry Club will hold its regular meeting Thursday night of this week at 6:30 p.m. in the Chem-istry lecture room. A play will be given at this time, entitled "A Night In Alchemy".

The play will include various tricks and mysterious demonstrations known only to the chemist, and equal to the tricks of the magician. It was written by R, D, Billinger of the University of Cincinnati.

The cast includes Subtle, and al-chemist, and a shrews, old faker, Ralph Keedy;Lungs, the alchemist's varlet, Viola De Vilbiss; and Gobbo, a wanderer, who also practices the Black art, Harvey Shank.

This play will take the place of the annual chemistry demonstration which is usually given in the spring. Everyone is welcome — admission free.

Newton, Mar. 4—The McPherson college Bulldogs lost their last game of the season,here tonight. The game was fast and rough all the way with the result constantly in doubt. The score at the end of the regular game was tied at 22 all. In the five minute extra period, A. Gaeddart, Bethel forward, made the only score by way of a free throw and the game ended with Bethel leading 23 to 23.

McPherson started the game in fine fashion making their first four shots good. Some excellent passing won displaced during this time. The Bulldogs were leading the Bethel cagers by a score of 9-2 at one time during the first half. Bethel rallied during the latter part of the first half and at half time the score stood at 11-10 for McPherson.

During the second half the game became rougher and somewhat faster as it progressed. The Bethel cagers began making more of their shots count than the Bulldogs did and with about five minutes to play McPherson was trailing with the score at 20 to 16. During the last few minutes McPherson outscored the opponents and at the end or the regular playing period the score was knotted at 23 points apiece. In the extra period, while Bethel was scoring a lone point, the Bulldogs missed several nice shots that just rolled off the rim while Bethel’s shots were hurried and seemingly merely huried at the backboard.

Pauls was high point man for Mc-Pherson with ten points while Ken-nison was high for Bethel with seven points.

First Team: H. Larson. Bethany, forward: Spear, Baker, forward; C. Larson, Bethany, center; Crilly, Ot-tawa, guard: Jamison, McPherson, guard. Second Team: Suran, Wesleyan, forward; Dillon, Ottawa, forward: Knapper, Ottawa, center: Binford, McPherson, guard; and Ahl-atedt, Bethany, guard.

April 28, the last Friday in April has been set as the date for the state W. A. A. Fifty Day sponsored this year by the McPherson college or-ganization. The Play Day committee composed of Velma Bean, Mildred Stutzman, and Attillia Anderson is in general charge of arrangements for the program of the day.

Five schools besides McPherson, which make up this division of the state W. A. A. organization, will be included with a representation of members to take part in the state Piny Day. They are Hays State col-llege, sterling college, Hutchinson Junior college, Kansas Wesleyan university., and Friends university.

Numerous sports will be engaged in by those in attendance at this event. Among these are basketball, volleyball, baseball, tennis, and perhaps some track events. All except tennis will be non-competitive; an elimination tournament for both tennis singles and doubles will be held. Tentative plans are being made for a banquet on Friday evening, at which the guests from other schools will be entertained by the local W. A. A.

Last year the state Play Day was held at Sterling college. McPherson was represented with a large delegation which took a leading part in the sports of the day. Esther Non-ken, a freshman here last year, came out with first place in the tennis singles tournament, defeating con-testants from the other schools represented.

150 Points Instead of Class Attendance to Be Required

A revised organization of the course in physical education has taken place recently. Instead of attending a regular class period twice a week for the hour of credit, those enrolled will need to meet a requirement of 150 points for the semester, acquired through participation in intramural sports.

Active competition in each intramural basketball game counts six points, while presence at a game played by the team, suited up, gives the student three points. Points given for other sports are to be an-

Following the completion of the basketball tournament being played at present, a number of teams for playground baseball are to be organized. These will include any men who wish to play, and points for playing will count toward the physical education requirement.

Basketball Team II of the Women's Athletic Association tournament, captained by Velma Bean, won the championship in the tourney last week, defeating both of the other two teams competing. A week before the elimination tournament the four teams then existing were reorganized into three teams, because of some of the players having too few practices credited to be eligible for the final.

Last night Teams 1 and III, led respectively by Kern Heckman and Ada Brunk, fought it out for second place. Team ?? winning the runner-

The varsity basketball team of the association is to be selected within the next few days. Those who will pick the places on the varsity will include the captains of the several teams and Elsie Rump, W. A. A. basketball manager.

An artist was employed to reno-vate and retouch the great oil pain-tings in an old church in Belgium and rendered a bill of $67.30 for his ser-vices. The church wardens, however, required an itemized bill and the following was duly presented, audited, and paid:

For brightening up the flames of hell, pulling a new tail on the devil, and doing odd jobs for the condemned—$7.17. For putting a new stone in David's sling and enlarging head of Goliath-$6.06.

With the apparently permanent advent of spring last week interest in spring sports became more pronounced. The tennis courts, which had been in a wet and spongy condition all winter, were worked on and one of them was marked for play. However the snow and cold weather making its appearance Friday morn-ing put a temporary stop to tennis Court activities.

For several weeks the clank of horseshoes has been heard at the pitching pits newly constructed last spring, on the southeast corner of the campus. From observation of the play thus far it would appear that the usual number of "Hot shots" will be ringing the peg with the "quoits" this spring.
