ALVIN VORAN IS NEW PROFESSOR OF VOICE

Did Spectacular Things Here Where He Was Former Student

“CHEESY" SANG HIS WAY

Im Quartet All Through College— Won a Scholarship in Chicago

Prof, Alvin Voran, the new voice instructor, has provoked much Interest due to his achievements and the fact that he is a former McPherson College student.

Back in the days when Euclid was "Washboard Avenue" and bulldog sweaters weren't, "Cheesy” Voran came to McPherson College as a freshman, and therewith began a new era. "Cheesy" did spectacular things and the college did spectacular things. During these four years the college had one of the best quartets it ever had as proved by the fact that M. C. quartets are still wearing the Tuxedoes bought with the money that they earned.

Cheesy sang his way through college with a little cheering, acting, and editing on the side. In '27 he was president of his class, in '28 he edited the annual and was in the senior play cast, and at one time he was cheerleader.

Bulldogs sweaters were invented in 1926 and Euclid received a new pav-ing job.

As the old saying has If all good things come back to us. Mr. Voran has returned to his Alma Mater as voice instructor, and we are looking forward to more spectacular things under his leadership.

Dr. Schwalm spent a good part of his time in Chicago and the sur-rounding territory where he attended several annual church conferenc-es uml canvassed the Mount Morris vicinity. He also covered North Dakota and attended several district meetings there.

Prof. Blair estimated his travels at something over 7000 miles which took him through Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming, and Idaho. He got in touch with the students of Kansas and Oklahoma mainly by visiting various Brethren churches. He was a speaker at the summer church conference at New Meadows, Idaho.

Some of the Instructors attended summer schools. Prof. Alvin Voran remained in Chicago where he continued the study of music. Miss Della Lehman attended Harvard and the University of Boston. Coach Bluford the Texas Institute of Technology at Lubbock, and Professor Dell the Iowa State College where he continued his work on a master's degree.

Professor Heckman wrote and had published a book named "The Teach-ers‘ Appreciation of the Old Testa-ment. " and it is understood that he has started on "The Teachers' Ap-preciation of the New Testament. " Professor Bohling spent the summer selling insurance and bonds.

During the summer events of for reaching significance took place in relation to McPherson College. The resources of the college were mater-ially strengthened by the addition of new territory to her constituency namely that of Mount Morris College at Mount Morris, Illinois.

McPherson College has served two natural constituencies. One Is the local constituency of McPherson and surrounding communities and the other is the Brethren constituency throughout the middle West For a number of years this Brethren constituency consisted of about 13, 678 members scattered through several states. Through the closing of Mount Morris College last spring the Breth-ren churches in Iowa, North Dakota, Minnesota nnd eastern Montana were left without a school home. The trustees of Mount Morris College recommended that these districts affiliate with McPherson College. In four district conferences throughout the summer Dr. Schwalm presented the Invitation of the trustees of McPherson College to affiliate with them. In each case the invitation was unanimously accepted.

In this manner sixty-eight congregations and 5508 members were added to the constituency of McPherson College. A number of these churches are very strong and prosperous. This adds considerable material strength to the support of this school and will mean much to her when economic conditions improve throughout the territory.

This year there are some sixteen or seventeen students from this new area in McPherson College and if economic conditions were better at least forty or fifty could probably have been secured.

Prof. S. M. Dell, chairman of the freshman committee, was in charge of the six freshman meetings held Monday and Tuesday. September 1213, for the purpose of assisting the freshmen to orient themselves in the shortest possible time.

The first address was "Welcome to McPherson College” by President V. F. Schwalm. Prof. M. A. Hess spoke on "Opportunities and Possibilities in McPherson College''. "The Curri-culum and Registration" was dis-cussed by Dean F. A. Replogie and “College Friendships” by Dean Moh-Icr.

Tuesday morning Prof. J. Hugh Heckman's subject was "Social and Religious Development''. In the af-ternoon Prof. J. L, Bowman told of "College Customs and Traditions", and the series ended with a questionnaire to be answered by the class of '36 on "Why I Came to College",

At the various sessions mimeo-graphed sheets of information on campus buildings, budgeting, and customs and traditions were distri-buted.

Other members of the committee In charge were Professors Hess, Bowman, Bohling, and Miss Della Lehmam.

Take a minute to glance through the ads and if you see listed what you may want, try to help those who help us.

SOPHOMORES SHOW CAIN

Two hundred nine students were enrolled In McPherson College Monday, September 19, according to rec-ords in the dean-registrar's office. This does not include the group of more than 45 music students who are under McPherson College instructors at the city studio.

Enrollment is divided among the classes as follows; seniors, 32; Juniors, 30; Sophomores, 67; freshmen, 73; and special students, 7. Several more students are expected to enroll during the remainder of this week.

The enrollment this year presents a decided deviation from that of former years, in that only 11 of the 209 students enrolled are from out of the state of Kansas. The enrollment by states is; Kansas; 165; Iowa, 10; Colorado, 6; Oklahoma, 6; Nebraska. 5; Missouri, 4; Minnesota. 3: Indiana, 3; Texas, 2; Illinois, 1; and Montana, 1.

Although the senior and freshmen classes are smaller than those classes were last year, the sophomore class presents a remarkable increase. The class last year numbered 59, and this year's class already totals 67—lacking only 6 of equalling the number of freshmen enrolled.

At this time last year, the enrollment total was approximately 225. Although our enrollment is a bit smaller now, the year is expected to be as good in every way as the 193132 year.

The faculty of McPherson College worked energetically during the past summer endeavoring to keep the enrollment up to par.

Those who were engaged in active campaign work among would-be stu-dents were Dr. V. F. Schwalm. Prof. J. A. Blair, and Prof. R. E. Mohler. These three covered practically the entire territory from the Mississippi to the Rockies. Even though cam-paign work for the college was stressed, summer school was not al-lowed to suffer, Dean F. A. Replo-gie, Miss Edith McGaffey, Dr. J. D. Bright, Prof. M. A. Hess, Miss Jessie Brown, Dr. J. Willard Hershey, Miss Margaret Heckethorn, Miss Fern Lin-genfelter, Mrs. Anna C.

THE REAL TEST

Last spring thousands of young men and women graduated from the colleges and universities throughout the country. Full of optimism and buoyant with energy they flooded from the halls of higher institutions. They were unaware that conditions had so changed that four years of col-lege was only a meager preliminary to the real game.

The result was a great sobering of the average college student. Hundreds fill the breadlines of our cities. Others are searching In vain for any kind of work, A comparative few have found profitable positions, Many have had to fall back on dad. Daily we are reminded in current mag-azines of "The Tragedy Of American Education," "Who Should Go to College,' and "Does Education Pay?" These facts drive home to the student that all is not so rosy.

The bewildered student must take consolation In the type of education he is receiving. To the observer "in" looking "out" the Highly trained technician of the large university is In no better position than the graduate of a liberal arts college, however email It may be. It has become increasingly evident that the real test of an education Is not the height of its technical training, but the adjustment to the fundamental factors of living. One thing is certain, that the graduate of an institution which teaches for true living conditions is infinitely better off than those not so educated.

So the undergraduates are praying, as the seniors prayed last year, that the storm will be over soon, They do have ground for more optimism than the highly specialized student.

PATIENCE—A NEEDED VIRTUE

Many suggestions have been made as to what particular virtues should be exercised best to meet and overcome the difficulties of our present trying situations. Courage, industry, economy, confidence, are, of. course, among those most frequently named. But there is one other, of vital Importance, not so often mentioned—patience.

Whatever may be the cause of existing conditions, they are so general that they cannot be changed overnight. It Is necessary, therefore, that we school ourselves to patience. Patience does not imply Inactivity. It does not Involve Idleness, It is rather a mental attitude that enables one to bear with fortitude what must be endured. It keeps one’s spirit from flagging.

There is nothing surer than the return of prosperity and industrial well-being to our great country. We only need to maintain our faith to continue every wise effort toward betterment of conditions for others as well as ourselves, and, above all, to be patient.—Selected.

NEW COUPLES BEGIN TO APPEAR ON CAMPUS ALREADY

Old Steadies Rejoice As They Meet Once More—Dan Cupid Again Gets Busy With His Bow and Arrow

School opens again and we find Dan Cupid with us one more year. Yes—take a look around the campus and you can tell the same old steadies are at It. Gee—doesn't she look like the same sweet little thing that I've missed for three solid months!! Doesn't It seem swell to see his smiling face once more?

I'll say these steadies are glad to see each other—why look— then goes a green flivver that belongs to the Colorado youth, and she's the girl friend at the steering wheel— believe It or not—she's trying the car out to see if all the four wheels will go in the line direction and whether the Ford will ran out of gas or not. Who says that they won't have fun In that thing this year, especially to the icy cold winter and lovely spring days? Then too— there goes that Ford they call "Clara" which was stopped last year to be searched for liquid—I mean liquor. We might as well warn any others now to take more precaution this home-coming.

And what about this young man that goes places and sees things with the gal who owns the green-wheeled car from county No. 2? He came to town a week ahead of time and tried to find something to pass the time away—but he found he missed the young lady's presence, But now everything is going hotsy-totsy for both again. And another matter to take up is—Who said that the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W, c. A. aren’t going to get along nicely this year? We know they are. Why? Seen use the presidents are sure to make things go tip-top shape and we wouldn’t he surprised If the Y's had a lot of joint meetings this year.

Some of these half-studies are showing their sorrowful faces around the campus, but the other half-steady seems to be missing, fly the looks of things already, these lonely lovers are going to enjoy college with the other bunch of kids on the lot. And who says they won't have fun?

Do you suppose Coach Binford has a time with his football men? I’ll say he does! Why in the midst of practice some young star is sure to atop and wave to the passing beauty that came to see "Her Hero" kick the ball. That shouldn’t worry the coach though, because that sort of pops the boys up and you know we have to beat the SWEDES this fall.

Then there are those boys and girls to consider that call themselves “Just Friends.” To be sure they're back at old M, C.—chatting to each other and having the good ol’ times.

Say—you can't tell me that Dan Cupid Isn't here at college! Why those little "freshies" with green caps on are bound to fall for someone If Dan gives them the disease—and with the out-coming crop of fresh, you can be assured that by spring, love and romance wilt fly hand In hand with a few of these new-comers. And Freshmen—don't let the depression interfere, just try going "Dutch" like some of these other steadies have been doing.

GEORGE ZINN IS CAPTAIN

With the first game only a few days away Coach Melvin J, Binford Is putting his Bulldog charges through stiff workouts for their first encounter Friday night against the Wichita University B team, here.

Scrimmages have been occupying a large part of the practice sessions the last few days and Binfor is getting a good line on the material he has available. While It Is still early to make predictions as to what suc-cess the 1932 Bulldog team will have, it is the general feeling of stu-dents that the Bulldogs will have a team of hard fighters.

Conch Binford has eight lettermen back, five being linemen, and the other three stars In last year's back-field. The lettermen that returned include Captain Zinn, who Is now weighing In at shout 200 pounds and who plays at either a guard or tackle position. Keck, lust year's captain and scrappy guard now weighs about 165 and his fighting spirit will probably be more effective this year than over before. He was mentioned on all-conference teams last year.

Minear, another stockily-built line-man weighing 195. Is working hard in the line ugalu this year, ‘‘Spud” is fast for a big man and Is a fine catcher. Paula, 175 pound end. Is holding down his position from last; year and even looks better than he did then, "Tuffy” Wine, who has been out of school for two years Is back working at his old tackle position where he received mention on all-conference teams when he was In school two years ago. He now weighs 176 pounds,

Carpenter, the flash of last year's back field. Is back In school weighing 165 and hitting harder than ever from his half-back position. Wiggins at the other half- post Is ; again carrying on with his fine punting and passing, -He weighs 175 and his punts are averaging farther than last year, He Is also carrying the ball for some nice gains this year. Eu-gone Anderson, letter man at fullback is back plugging the line much as he did last year which Is well re-membered, Andy weights only 160, but he drives hard and low,

Besides the lettermen Coach Bin-; ford has a number of men who have had experience, on the reserve squad here or on high school teams. "Bus" , Ellis, 205-pound man who playedwith the Bulldogs three years ago. Is back and Is working at the center position. Paul Nelson. a 202-pound-or, has been looking especially good at a tackle position. He has had ex-perience on the Kansas Aggie Freshman team and looks like a strong contender for a first team berth. Bob Bowman, who has played two years on the reserve team looks like a probable man for an end position, Wayne Blume, a half-back on last year’s reserves, is showing up well and will probably see lots of action this year.

Chet Johnston seems to he a likely candidate far the quarterback position. Chet, while playing with the local high school team was W«s-chosett as captain of the all Central Kansas League team. Another quarterback who has been showing up well in practice sessions is Junior “Doc" Lytle. Glen Lichty, a fresh-man, is also out for the quarterback position and is also a good punter. Evans, a freshman is trying out for an end position. Rock Is showing up well at the center position and will probably see action In many of the games, Reinecker and Weddle look good at tackle positions.

Three new men have reported for practice, recently, all with consider-able football experience. Orville Eddy, a 200-pound guard and Duncan-son a 180-pound end are both former Mount Morris College players and are showing up well. The other new man is Houser who was an end on last year's McPherson High School team, These men have added weight and experience to the Bulldog team.
