This write who Is writing this written writing has learned one thing this year; One never can know when someone wants his name in the paper. When a person says to be sure not to mention a certain thing in your column and then tells you all about the certain thing you may wonder if he may be subtly sug-gesting that you should put it In. But when he tells your relatives the same thing and repeatedly says to Be careful that nothing about it is printed, you may be positive that he wants it in the paper. Especially when you haven't heard of it any-

way.

A STUDENT'S CHRISTMAS

Christmas time is a happy time for the student. It brings home, father, brother and sister. friends-— and the student is once more re-vitalized for the great tasks and opportunities that are his.

Christmas is a happy time, for it brings a holiday season. The value of a rest—a period of relaxation from the routine of one's weekly schedule, is estimable. The student not only rests and visits during vacation.; he becomes rejuvenated so that be may again enjoy that daily and weekly routine of classes, activities, and studies during the period of school following vacation.

Christmas brings to the student a time of elevation and benefit, for the student has time to stand apart from his erstwhile student life, weigh add measure the values that are presented to him. He has a "time out" period in which he may stop and estimate the value of the growth he Is making in his personal development.

Christmas probably means more to the student than to most of the other large social groups. Christmas Is a time of bountiful giving and grateful receiving; it should be also a time for renewing mutual friend-ship and a time of peace and goodwill to all, for It is the annual celebra-tion of the birth of the Prince of Peace—the son of God, who came to raise man to a richer and fuller understanding and appreciation of God and fellowman.—E. F.

THE IDEAL COLLEGIAN

Ten cardinal commandments that go to make up the Ideal college man have been outlined by the Rev, John A. Berens, S. J., dean of men at Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He has been adviser and in-structor of boys for twenty years.

Father Beren's commandments are: 1. He should have a strong ambition to succeed, together with the determination to overcome obstacles.

2. He should take part In the normal activities of extra-curricular af-fairs, but without excess in them.

3. He should possess qualities of leadership, but this does not imply that he must be a class officer or hold office in campus organizations.

4. He may do outside work if he must, but it is honor to save money for one or two years after preparatory school and then enter college.

5. As to character he must possess the qualities of honesty, upright-eousness, courage, and fidelity.

6. He must be temperate.

7. Inasmuch as the countenance reflects the quality of the soul, he must give an outward appearance of pleasantness. He need not be good lodging or a Beau Brammel.

8. He must be neat in appearance and in habits.

9. He must be mature. A boy who appears immature at 18 should delay entering college. A year or two of work would bring him into con-tact with difficulties of life; he would learn the value of money and develop a better outlook on education. 10. He must conduct himself in such a manner as will give evidence of a sincere, Christian gentleman.

"Give me the student who answers to these requirements," Father Berens said, "and I will show you the ideal young collegian, Nor need he bend over backward' to approach, those qualifications. Any normal grow-ing boy is a candidate for the title."

When the German classes sang In a foreign language, the students ap-plauded long and loudly. Possibly they were glad to relax once, since it did no good, anyway to listen to the words.

Pity the poor librarian! Since the bell on the desk has been fixed, even the staff members have become enthusiastic over the use of it.—So much so, in fact, that some of them flag it for mere pleasure.

The depression is pretty bad when it even affects the flowers! It struck Miss Heckethorn's Christmas cactus that she had in the library last Friday. One girl said that was what made it no small. If that was true, don't you think the depression might be blamed for causing said cactus to fade so soon?

One girl who was turned down several times when she asked for leap year dates submitted the following:

Under the hanging mistletoe,

The homely co-ed stands,

And stands, and stands, and stands,and stands,

And stands, and stands, and stands

Someone who evidently wished to remain unknown wrote an answer In opposition to M. C.'s Lonesome Man, and left ft In the Spec box. Since he didn’t enclose a stamped and self-addressed envelope—nor even his name—we snail print only excerpts from his message, "it's hard," be writes, "to turn down a shy and scar, ed girl who musters courage enough to shoot the question, but my how it hurts when the girl you've been watching all year comes around Just three hours too late. . . . Carry me on to 1933 when man can reign, nearly supreme in the choosing of dates.''

FIRST PUBLICATION ISSUED BY TEACHERS

History of College Newspaper Reveals Background of Strict Censorship

One would find it impossible to picture present day college life without its weekly edition of the Spectator, but in early days of the institution students were not allowed to edit or publish a newspaper. Rather, the faculty furnished all of the printed literature issued from the college. This consisted of a sixteen page monthly magazine known as the "Teacher and Student." Such subjects an mormonism, lynching, national debts, arbitration, and free sliver were discussed, The faculty however, gave way in 1899 to a new publication called "Rays of Light which was published by the students under strict supervision of the faculty. The cover of this magazine plainly stated it to be "an education-al, literary, and news magazine."

After a life of sixteen years "Rays of Light" was replaced by a magazine called "The McColpa." The title was taken from the first letters of The McPherson (Mc) College (Col) Paper (Pa), The McColpa was a thirty-six page paper larger then the

"Rays of Light" and published without strict faculty censorship

Not until the advent of the Spec-tator in 1917 did the transition from magazine to newspaper take place. The first Spectator was a four-page weekly, half as large as the present paper. Simple headlines began to be used. Later a six-page newspaper was Issued every two weeks, and in 1919 it became an eight page weekly. In 1921 the Spectator assumed the size that It has today, and gradually faculty censorship has become less.

CHRISTMAS CHEER FOR EVERYBODY

Short as it it this year, you may be sure that M, C. students will make the most of vacation,

Students who go home will take advantage of the opportunity to tell the ones they left behind that college doesn't hold anyone that can match up to them and that they have found no one they like better—or that they have. They will meet Old friends again, and attend family reunions, and eat big dinners, and wish it didn't have to end so soon. For the students who will be at home In McPherson very much the same round is in store. Those who are staying at Kline will probably find many new experiences

For one and all may there be happy days of Christmas cheer, plums pudding, presents, and even wedding bells.

A GREAT INSTITUTION

There is much to be said for our scheme of Christmas, as it has been developed because it multiplies and intensifies the activities of a com-munity during the weeks before the event.

The happy community is always the busy community and that is Just as true in times of uncertainty like those as In times when everything is functioning normally. Pre-Christmas activity this year is, indeed, more beneficent than usual because It concentrates the community mind upon something specific to do at a time when the specifics are all too few,

That specific thing to do does not, fortunately, concern self, Most folks have been worrying about themselves too much. The all-pervasive spirit of, Christmas concerns others, In their shopping excursions, their charitable enterprises, their planning of family reunions either here or else-where in their general preparatory milling about with a focal point on Christmas Day people have more selfless minds and therefore happier minds than In many a month.

' It is a great institution- Christmas—as America has evolved it. The proof of It is in the better spirit that always rules in this land at this sea-son.—Wichita Eagle.,

Last week saw a new drama between debtor and creditor. Next time your creditor sends you a statement send his a half dozen letters explain-ing why payment would hurt him. Try it and then If you cannot convince him—default.

The leap year dates are about to break up some “happy families''. One young man was approached by a fair co-ed who asked him for the pleasure ‘ of escorting him to the party; he flusteredly but gallantly accepted and felt flattered: Then his conscience began to prick, and he won-what his regular girl would think about it—and say—and do. And what she thought—and said— and did was plenty. After a stormy session the youth’s fury became aroused against the one who had caused all this, and tha date was broken. Here is hoping that since the party is over conditions will return to normalcy and peace will reign once more with all severed diplomatic relations restored.

The other day Coriane Suter was wondering who might be the third Replogle In school. She said that his first name was Dean.

Since than will be few happen-ings and comparatively little news over the Christmas vacation, the Spectator staff fee that it win be bast to leave no number on the Wednesday Immediately following vacation.

“Sir, I am in desperate straits, My wife wants food,"

"Listen, brother, you don’t know what trouble is. My wife wants a diamond ring."

TELLS REMINISCENCES OF WINFIELD DEBATE

Strange Things Are Disclosed Which Were Heretofore Unknown

In the trip to Winfield the male varsity debaters and Ogden, scouter and alternate, showed extreme selfishness In regard to the second team. Going to Winfield, Gottmann, Williams and Ogden took charge of the Misses Riddell and Spilman while Coach Hess. Staats. and Hayes took care of the Misses Hobart and Dappen. They traded coming home and made the second' team. Goering. Kauffman. Booz. Suttle, and their driver. Paul Heckman, go alone both ways.

Paul Booz had obtained a date for Saturday night before the second team men had been in Winfield fif-teen minutes but he had to give her up on the end because the other members of his car didn’t have such good luck and wouldn’t stay Saturday

night.

The non-decision rounds held on Friday gave the debaters many valuable ideas and the scouters Ogden and Heckman got many valuable points from teams like those put out by Oklahoma Women’s college and Hutchinson's Junior college team which were made up of women.

Hayes, Williams, and Hess drew the greatest applause given at the banquet Friday night "when they led the McPherson college group In the Rolla Bolla yell. Gottmann had a unique way of getting more buns by

having Spilman and Booz who sat next to him take buns and give them to him. Hayes almost drowned Miss Dappen when he gripped his paper drinking cap too hard. Ogden had great difficulty In refraining from eating his paper plate but Miss Hobart helped to keep him from doing this. Miss Riddell took care of Williams as best she could so the rest of the McPherson men focused their

7. Thou shalt not steal—down the fire-escape,

8. Thou shall not kill—the mice and cockroaches that run over thy floor.

9. Thou shalt tattle all to the ran-tron e'en tho' all they friends forsake thee.

10. Six days shall thou labor and do all thy washing and ironing, and On the seventh thou shall sing classical songs.

The students at K. U., especially the girls, are trying to get the ruling that girls should be in by 10:30 changed. Imagine!

The first official Goethe film. which was made in Germany, was shown at Friends University recently. It showed the life and works of Kart Shurz, the celebrated German dramatist. The film was shown under the auspices of the modern language department.

Y. W. GIVES CHRISTMAS

PARTY FOR CHILDREN

The Y. W, C. A. gave a Christmas party to twenty-one little needy children or the community yesterday afternoon at four o’clock. Newell Wine acted as Santa Claus and each child was given a toy. a practical gift, candy and nuts. Gretta Wilma Griffis told them a story and Gulah Hoover taught them several little Christmas songs.

ALL SCHOOL LEAP YEAR PARTY WELL ATTENDED

ABOUT 125 ARE PRESENT

Chivalry reigned Monday night In the basement of the college church when the girls of the school took their turn at doing the honors. About 125 students and one family member attended the all school leap year party.

Lloyd Larsen was master of ceremonies. After all the dates and the few stags were seated, the program began with two harmonica numbers by Willard Brammell. Faithe Ketter-man read "His Unlucky Day" and Mildred Dahlinger sang "The Elope-ment" by Bonds.

Then came the social. Those present were divided into four groups, and amid cheers from their backers a necktie relay was run. The different groups sent out representatives and proposals were made by the girls to the boys. The judges selected Oneita Boyer and Orval Eddy as the winners.

Two relays, singing led by Prof. Alvin Voran, and on impromptu tap dance by Wayne Carr and Glenn Lichty followed, after which the girls, especially those who brought steadies, were bled for their fees. Refreshments of coffee and doughnuts were served and the party, but not the evening, was over.

The girls were required to take the boys to and from the party, help them with their coats, find chairs, open doors, and get their refreshments for them.

Gulah Hoover and Guy Hayes were the committee for arrangements. Lloyd Larsen. Loren Rock, and Maxine Ring planned the program, while Ada Brunk. Pearl Walker, and Martha Andes were responsible for the refreshments.

Dr. E. L. CRAIK WRITES LETTER FROM SCOTLAND

Dr. E. L. Craik, former student add professor In McPherson College, now professor of history and government at Juniata college, Huntingdon. Penn., writes from Edinburgh. Scotland, where he is studying this winter:

"You have no idea how the idea prevails here that we are face to face with another war. The papers are full of It. I greatly fear some very bad feelings will come out of this war debt question with the U. S. The people here think we ought to extend the moratorium or cancel. They have little appreciation of our weight of taxes In America. Of course, theirs ARE very much heavier—as we all know—but they persist in thinking the Americans have an easy time of it. From what I hear and read I would not want to come to Europe a year hence. I cannot conceal the fact that I am pretty much disheartened with the prospect."

Dr. Craik left McPherson In 1924 when he look the position he now holds. He has been attending the University of Edinburgh. During the holidays he will visit In Germany and after several weeks will resume his studies at Cambridge University. Mrs. Craik Is living in Lawrence this winter, where Warren Is attending the university, They expect Dr. Craik to join them in April.

In the evening after the banquet while Coach Hess was at a meeting the rest of the party went to the city library but of the second team carload only Kauffman and Goering who had debates the next day returned to their rooming house on time. The others saw Sherlock Holmes and barely missed taking some Winfield waiters but Booz was still loyal to his date which he didn’t know he would have to break.

The tournament the next day was good even though the teams didn’t go so far. The second team, after being eliminated in a hard fought word battle with Tonkawa. Oklahoma, visited the state home for the feeble minded at Winfield and then went to the high school where the varsity and women's teams were having it out; later they went through Winfield's fire department.

Dearest Santa Claus:

Gee, I was glad to see you down town the other day! Did you see Ollie and me wave to you? Well. I'm appointed chief scribbler of the whole bunch of Bulldogs and I write one letter for all to save postage and pager and also your time reading so many lists. We’ve cut our list down to things we absolutely need so as to help your pocketbook too.

the Y. W. had one, then Doc Bright's history classes could borrow it for their affairs. That combination has been settled: so you see you'd save buying an extra wagon. The Y. W. could also make use of a new over-stuffed parlor suite for the “Y" room. If you could get one with

window shades attached, the girlstime would be saved every Monday morning from having to screw light blinkers back in their sockets.

Max Ring wants a sleigh. Good-ness knows, Una is busy enough without having to pull her little sis around an a sled. Then too. the reporters would like a volume of those already - written- up news stories.

We hope you will be generous and send Willie Brammel a package or two of dates and enough boxes of chocolates for his girl friends.

You ought to give a fifty-seated non-pay-as-you-enter automobile to M C for transportation in and about, town and other high spots. We would all be so happy. The athletic department could use it an long trips. Another combination, yes?

The pep leaders want the book. "One Hundred Thousand Snappy Yells." written by Ura Slacker. They want to start the basketball season off right. And Coach Binford asks for a tall basketball star for center position. We all want him to be sev-en feet tall, big, husky. and strong If you can't get him down Forney's tall smoke stand, bring him In the window.

Santa, you'd be a regular old dear if you would put running elevators in every building in place of the stairways. An elevated train from build-ing to building would save the sidewalks from getting cracked, bumped up, and hurt, especially on these cold mornings.

Santa, please furnish the boys' dorm with 1000 bars of Palmolive soap in order that the boys may have that schoolgirl complexion at the next leap year party.

Galen, Paul, and I want a basket -affair attached to our song book rack by our chapel seats. We won’t break the rack down then by our volumes of books. The basket ought to have some clothes hooks attached so we can hung up our caps, hats, and gloves.

Wheeler Kurtz wants a good hot pipeless furnace for his Pontiac so he can keep warm on his Chicago trip.

Dean Mohler would enjoy a non-collodable Austin and the other facul-ty members want red pencils. They want these for marking sidewalks for hop scotch, not for grading papers,

The Y. M C. A. wants a radio, six new lounging chairs, and sixteen pairs of knitting needles. They want these needles so that those who can't play ping pong can have an enjoy-able time also.

Well, I've come to the end of the paper they have given me and Maurine won't give me more so we say "Merry Xmas, Santa,"' and don't forget to stop here.

Gretta Wilma Griffis entertained a few of her friends Friday evening with a Christmas party, The group attended the Christmas pageant at the College church and then went to the home of Miss Griffis to a doughnut fry and a taffy pull.

Mr. LeRoy Doty from Hutchinson. Kansas. former McPherson College student, spoke In chapel Monday on the insurance endowment plan which the alumni association is working up in order to give this college a larger

In this plan a person in to pay sixty dollars a year, varying some accord-ing to age, for ten years. At retirement age, sixty-five, this money will be returned or in case of death will be given to the estate,

Miss Lohman's German class sang the Christmas hymn. "Silent Night, Holy Night." In German.

Last Friday Professor J. H. Fries talked to the students to chapel, giving a modern application of the Sermon on the Mount. Postmaster Henry Kittell sang "At Dawning" and "Mother Machree.”

A. room was dimly lighted for the occasion.

LIBRARY WANTS MAGAZINE

Among the magazines missing from the College library are the American for October, 1932 and the Good Housekeeping. October, No-vember, and December, 1932. We should appreciate the return of these or their replacement from the files of some subscriber who does not care to keep them.

The Judges have announced that Maxine Ring will take the part of Miss Prism, the governess in the Thespian play. “The Importance of Being Earnest.” This farce by Oscar Wilde will be given early next se-mester,
