VALUED AT $225, 000

Fri., Oct, 16- McPherson college is now making extensive plans for her part in the National College Broadcast which is to take place on Saturda, November 14. The pro-gram is being put on with the cooperation of a group of the leading educators of America, and the National broadcasting company with an as-sociated chain of fifty-six stations.

The commercial value of this broadcast in the interest of the Lib-eral Arts college is estimated at $225, 000.

Although plans have not yet fully taken shape regarding the local part of the program, it is the intention that our own college go in with two or three other schools and give a half hour program from station KFH at Wichita. It will consist of short speeches carrying the greetings of each college, and also musical num-bers from representatives of each. This local program is scheduled to follow the half-hour broadcast from the National Broadcasting company studios, including talks by President Hoover and several nationally known educators.

The program is to be widely ad-vertised locally by newspapers, cir-culars, and announcements in the McPherson Women's clubs, the Lions Club, and the Rotary Club. On Saturday afternoon preceding the broadcast the college plans to have a float on the streets of McPherson, carrying a group of students who will entertain and announce the program to take place in the evening.

It is planned to have a radio in -stalled in the college chapel, by which students and residetns of the community may listen in on the broadcast, which takes place between 8 and 9 o'clock Central Standard Time. Preceding this there is to be a program consisting of a good moving picture, and also short talks and musical numbers.

BOWLING SPEAKS ON

ECONOMIC SITUATION

Sun., Oct. 18- Prof. E. H. Bohling talked on "Our Economic Deadlock". in the Brethren Church service at 7: 30 tonight. Prof. Bohling dis-cussed the present depression in a very interesting and enlightening manner, dividing the talk into (1) conditions which caused the depression, and (2) adjustments which are necessary to correct it.

The causes of the depression, as presented by Prof. Bohling, might be summarized as follows: ( l ) Overanticipation of high returns since the war. (2) The World War led to the use of resources in unproductive goods. (3) Speculation on land, which was largely due to high prices of agricultural products during and following the war. (4) Industrial over-expansion has led to great waste. Capital is diverted from useful production. Industries are over-expanded 30% to 60% and the result is our present unemployment situation. (5) Our present taxation system is out of date, in that real estate tax is not in line with taxes on other property. (6) There are three ways foreign nations can settle trade balance* and war debts with the United States by gold, services and by goods. The United States already has the gold, won't accept services, and raises prohibitive tariffs against the goods

As regards measures to correct the present conditions, Prof. Bohling suggested the following: (1) Government control of farm production, (2) Inheritance and progressive income taxes, (3) Education.

What constitutes a college? Why should we go through college like children who turn the pages of a book and believe that they are reading? We are over in a glorious hurry, never stopping to ask ourselves what our main objectives are.

Studens are always rushed—that is, too busy to spend much time with their friends. But their hurry is glorified in that many persons compliment them on the unselfish service that they give to the college. What practically every student needs is a re-valuation of time. People should realize that they should read intelligently an hour or two each day if college is to mean the most to them. Hectic busy days should teach the need of relaxation and rest. Every student should take time to make new friendships and to renew old ones in college,

We must learn to see the whole of things. Correct apportionment of time may determine the kind of person each student will see when he meets himself ten years from now. —A. Y.

A number of improvements have taken place on our campus since the opening of school this fall. Perhaps the best was brought about by the rains of several weeks ago, which did not come too late to freshen up the trees, grass. and shrubbery, that had become nearly dried up from the prolonged drouth. The lawns about the campus have been nicety mowed within the last week. At present men are at work painting the roofs on several of our buildings. A new fence has been installed along the drive south of Sharp Hall.

We have a campus with an appearance that every student can well be proud of. Let us try to keep it always looking as clean and neat as possible. Every person connected with the college is in a sense a custodian, and he can do his part by observing little things that add to the beauty of the place. He can see that bits of paper are put in the recepta-cles provided for them, and not scattered about by the wind. He can stay on the walks as much as possible, so is not to tread on the grass. If those persons driving cars or Fords will see that they are kept parked in a line at the east side of the campus, and not scattered all about the locality, they will be doing their part.

it is little things that make big differences.

"Born" in the East and clothed in Oriental form and imagery, the Bible walks the ways of all the world with familiar feet and enters land after land to find its own everywhere. It has learned to speak in hundreds of languages to the heart of Man. It comes into the palace to tell the monarch that he is servant of the Most High, and into the cottage to assure the peasant that he is a son of God. Children listen to its stories with wonder and delight, and wise men ponder them as parables or life. It has a word of peace for the time of peril, a word of comfort for the day of calamity, a word of light for the hour of darkness. Its oracles are repeated in the assembly of the people, and its counsels whispered la the car of the lonely. The wicked and the proud tremble at its warning, but to the wounded add the penitent it has a mother's voice. The wilderness and the solitary place have been made glad by it, and the fire on the hearth has lit the reading of its well worn ages. It has woven itself into our deepest affections and coloured our. dearest dreams; so that love and friendship, sympathy and devotion, memory and hops, put on the beautiful garments of its treasured speech, breathing of frankincense and myrrh.

Above the cradle and beside the grave its great words come to us uncalled. They fill our prayers with power larger than we know, and the beauty of them lingers oh our ear long after the sermons which they adorned have been forgotten. They return to us swiftly and quietly, like doves flying from far away. They surprise us with new meanings, like springs of water breaking forth from the mountain beside a long-trodden path. They grow richer, as pearls do when they are worn near the heart.

No man is poor or desolate who has this treasure for his own. When the landscape darkens and the trembling pilgrim comes to the Valley named of the Shadow, he is not afraid to enter: he takes the rod and staff of scripture in his hand; he says to friend and comrade, "Good-by; we shall meet again"; and comforted by that support, he goes toward the lonely pass as one who walks through darkness into light. " —from "The Book of Books" by Henry Van Dyke.

Luck and laziness never went to-

gether and they never will.

That is a good book which is opened with expectation and closed with profit. —Alcott.

Discuss Importance of

Mon., Oct. 19—-Rev. Frank L Roper of the McPherson Baptist church addressed the students this morning in chapel assemb]y. He told of the great influence which God can have in a person's life, taking for his text a verse from the Psalms, “Thy gentleness hath made me great. "

CHEMISTRY CLUB HOLDS FIRST REGULAR MEETING

Thurs., Oct, 15—The chemistry club held its first regular meeting today at 4: 30 in the chemistry lec-ture room. The program was in charge of Dr. H. J. Harnly who gave an interesting account of the devel-opment of the McPherson Chemistry Department, and a review of the life of David Starr JOrdan, under whom Dr. Harnly once studied.

Dr. Harnly came to McPherson college in the fall of 1893. At that time, there was no apparatus for the chemistry and physics courses which Dr. Harnly taught at this time. He built his own laboratory tables and Shelves. Alcohol lamps were used, and only the necessary equipment

for one year of chemistry was avail-able. General chemistry and quali-tative analysis were the only courses offered in science at this time.

In 1918, Dr. J. Willard Hershey came to McPherson College. Since then, the chemistry department has made such development, that it is to be envied by any college or university. Dr. Hershey is known through-

The course in McPherson college which Dr. Harnly offers in bionomics has been patterned after the course Dr. Jordan taught at the time Dr. Harnly was in the Leland Stanford University of which David Starr Jordan was president.

After Dr. Harnly's lecture, Dr. Hershey paid tribute to Dr. Harnly, stating that "Our Science Hall is due to the work or Dr. H. J. Harnly" for whom it bears its name.

By the Campus Songsters

Poetry! Did you ever try your hand at composing a few rhymes? For most people there comes some sentimental moment when nothing seems to express their thoughts as well as a few lines of poetry. And strangely enough, it seems to occur most frequently during college days, perhaps because throughout those care free years one resounding note seems to vibrate oftenest in your mind—that of romance. And romance has always been the accepted help-mate of poetry.

Of Course it is to be expected that love would be a favorite theme, but just to show you that collegiate poets are not all conventional we are show-ing you a few examples to illustrate a rather original conception of the college students most popular form of recreation.

Love is a tramp, and I took him in. Fed him, sheltered him, had him for a friend—

This one is unusually beautiful, but too conventional to appeal to us as a new expression of love.

Death is a subject that has fascinated the greatest minds of all ages, and it is only natural that it, should for it is man’s last untried adventure. And especially when one is young does death seem beautiful and kind. Both young and old all are beset by the same doubts and won-derings as to what life in the hereafter will be like— though perhaps our ideas crystallize somewhat as We grow older. Someone once cited this as the breeziest suicide note he, had ever read—written by a young chorus girl who was weary of life and eager to embark on her last adventure. This is the note she left for her roommate. "I've gone across the river. If there's anything on the other side I'll be seeing you. "

Still are your dancing feet at last, And mute the music of your days. A dim mortality has cast Its shadow down your golden ways.

So swift you ran against the wind Before the day was quite begun— It was most strange at dusk to find Your glory dimming with the sun.

And in conclusion we wish to cite you one which seens to embody the very spirit of youth.

A life half lived is a song half sung; Unfinished symphonies far flung Within the cool night's ear are sweetest.

The bad grow worse with age. Senility's a thief that's hung For finishing the half-writ page.

Die young if needs must be Along with me. And fail to see The lilies fade in age's shade.

The leaves drop from the tree In seared and senseless multitude. And fail to see

Sat., Oct. 17—This evening Greta Wilma Griffis entertained a group of college girls with an informal party at her home. The guests were entertained with games after which pop corn and apples were served.

The guests were Nellie Collins, Alberta Yoder, Velma Keller, Pearl Walker, Bernice Fowler, Mary Weddle, Martha Hursh, Merle Fisher, and Mildred Ronk.

The editor of the Quadrangle, Donald Trostle, reports that a considerable number of students have not yet had their pictures taken for the yearbook. All members of the four classes are supposed to have had the pictures taken by today, October 21. However, those who have not yet attended to the matter will be given a further opportunity to have their photographs appear in the Quadrangle, but all class photo-graphs must be taken before November 1. All pictures for the 1932 "Quad. " are being taken by Leonard Walker of the Walker Studio.

COLLEGE C. E. BEGINS

SERIES OF DISCUSSIONS

Sun., Oct. 18—The College Chris-tian Endeavor discussion tonight centered around the question "What Do I Need To Succeed? " This dis-cussion was the first of a group of C. E. programs on the general theme "Making the Most of Life".

Kermlt Hayes was the leader in tonight's meeting. Charles Smith played a saxophone solo as the open-ing number of the program. The first talk was "I Need a Purpose and a Progressive Plan. " by Bernice Fowler. Miss Fowler said, “We must plan for the future, and cultivate habits that we will want as part of

our character. Don't just ‘get by'. ” The second speaker, Melvin Landes, spoke on " I Need Determination". Mr. Landes stated that determina-tion is an attitude of mind which itself in our conduct. The third talk was I Need Willingness to sacrifice''; by Alberta Yoder. Miss Yoder suggested that unity determines strength, and that a person doesn't begin to live until he has found something for which he is willing to die if necessary.

Evelyn Heiny and Florence Dresh-er, accompanied by Mildred Ronk, sand a special duet.

Fri., Oct. 16—The Bulldogs lost their second conference game of the season at the hands of the Baker Wildcats here tonight. The Wildcats scored in the second quarter, failed to kick goal, and the game ended with the Bulldogs on the short end of a 6-0 score.

Biker threatened the McPherson goal on two other occasions, only to have the Bulldog defense tighten and hold them for downs when press-ed deep into their own territory.

Thurs., Oct. 15—We are not sure if our cheer leaders are on a strike, or if they merely took a short vacation. At any rate, their faithful assistants, that peppy freshman bunch were in full sway at the pop meeting this morning,

A speech by Dean Replogle was given at the early part of the hour. The remainder of the program was taken up by short playlets, and a few rousing cheers, led by Hobart Hughey, the cheer leader for the freshman class

Students and McPherson fans will have the opportunity to see three more games this season on the home field, two of them at night, and the third, the Thanksgiving Day Bull-dog-Swede grudge battle, will be on the afternoon of November 26. The complete remaining schedule, including five games is as follows:

Oct. 23-------Hays, there (afternoon)

Oct. 30 - -------- Friends, here

Nov. 11 Ottawa, there (afternoon)

Nov. 18-----------------Bethel, here

Nov. 26------Bethany, here (afternoon)

Mon., Oct, 19-—Baker's win over McPherson last week leaves the wildcats and the Wesleyan Coyotes tied for the land in the Kansas Conference football race.

This was the only conference game played, the other teams going out-side of the loop to seek competition. Bethel was conquered 39 to 6 by Bethany, and Ottawa bowed to Friends to the tune of 6 to 13.

Two more teams get into the conference race this week. The games scheduled for Friday are;

Bethany vs. Baker at Baldwin Wesleyan vs. Ottawa at Ottawa (night)

McPherson vs. Hays Teachers at Hays (night—non-conference)

The Wildcats showed a powerful offensive with fine interference for the ball-lugger. Their fullback this year is not Kermit Lange but Kermit Hardinger, and this man carried the ball most of the time. He made some nice end runs behind good mass interference. The Baker touchdown came late in the second quarter on a short pass from Stock to Cookson, the latter ruining about twenty yards to the goal after receiving the pass.

The McPherson defense was tried to the limit twice in tonight's game when Baker threatened to score. Once Baker worked down the field on straight football and on another occasion a Bulldog fumble gave Bak-er the ball within scoring distance. Both limes the Bulldogs tightened and held them for downs. At one time McPherson held when the Wildcats lacked but four inches of mak-ing a first and ten.

Several nice punts at critical times coupled with the strength of the line held the Bakerites and got McPher-son out of the hole. It was a good game and it shows the McPherson defense considerably strengthened. A little more consistent offensive will soon put the Bulldogs in the victory column.

After watching Wiggins pass, punt and carry the bull Friday night, it doesn't surprise us that the Frosh are proud of their football men.

The Swedes 39 to 6 victory over Bethel didn't mean much after we heard that, even tho the Swedes won, they were as slow as Christmas to a home-sick Freshman.

The other day Harry Frantz was talking about a bladeless knife without any handle. He suggested that, that was his definition of nothing. We believe that the same definition will fit perfectly the Swede end of the scoring in the coming Thanksgiving day game.

For the last two games McPherson's defense has proven that it, can function when it gets in the pinches. When Baker worked deep into McPherson's territory, the line would strengthen and the Bulldogs soon held the heavy Wildcats for downs.

Wiggins's toe certainly helped the Bulldogs. When McPherson would gain the ball in their own territory it was this man Wiggins that sent the ball high and far down the field. That boy certainly can punt. Also we noticed that usually he had plenty of time to get those punts off, thanks to a good line.

Thurs., Oct. 15—The McPherson reserves again invaded Moundridge this afternoon, this time to be vanquished by the Moundridge town team, 12 to 7.

Although McPherson out-gained the opponents in first downs and in yardage from scrimmage, Mound-ridge managed to put over the ball for two touchdowns, one on a fumble made by McPherson on a triple reverse play, and the other on a blocked punt. Melvin Miller, former Bulldog athletic star in football, basketball, and track, played against his old colleagues: in this game, as a Moundridge substitute.

Mowbray and Keck did some fine work in that line Friday night. Time and again ( especially during the last half) we heard some complimentary remarks about the work of these two men. Haws did his usual fine work in directing the team, and Eugene Anderson did nice work at backing up the line. Carpenter made same nice tackles, and speaking of tackles, probably we can all remember the clash resounded when "Spud" Minear, going at full speed, hit a Baker man and told him back a few yards.
