MRS. REPLOGLE SPEAKS IN Y.W.C.A. MEETING

Tells of Women Who Have Always Done Their Beat

Mrs. Replogle talked to the Y. W. C. A. girls this morning on doing one's best. She told of three women who had done this and succeeded in a marked degree.

Jane Addams early in her life, witnessed the poverty-stricken homes of some of our urban population and determined to some day do all she could to right the situation. This determination led finally to the establishment of Hall House.

Mary Wooley. educator and peace-worker. became acquainted, while yet a girl, with the suffering of the soldiers through the work of her father among them during the Civil War. She determined to do all she could for the promotion of peace.

Mary Breckinridge founded the Frontier Nursing movement to the mountain regions of Kentucky because of the great need of such service among the mothers and children of that region. These three great women chose hard tasks and did their best: In spite of discouragement and seeming impossibilities they persevered and achieved true greatness through preparation.

The college girl of today will be called upon to do her beat and to create situations In which to fit and share her part of the world’s work.

SUPREMACY OF SPIRIT

IS EVANS’ Y. M. SUBJECT

Rev. J. M. Evans of the McPherson Congregational Church spoke in the Y. M. C. A. meeting Tuesday morning on "Supremacy of the Spiritual." Rev. Evans pointed out Incidents In the history of various nations. showing how those nations which are not based on spiritual things, have fallen. He also spoke of present-day political situations and some of the Christian principles involved In those situations.

Ward Williams introduced the speaker. Dean R. E. Mohler dismissed the service.

HEART SISTER WEEK TO BEGIN ON TUESDAY

Y. W. C. A. Annually Sponsors Valentine Plan for Kindness to a Sister

Next Tuesday morning murks the beginning of Heart Sister week. At the close of the Y. W. C. A. meeting each girl will receive the name of the girl to whom she Is to be "heart sister" for the week. On every day following each girl will do some kindness for her "heart sister''. The week will culminate In a Valentine party at which everyone will learn who has been her sister.

Heart Sister week is annually sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. at the time of St. Valentino's Day. The kind deeds may take the form of a note of appreciation, a poem, a kindly thought, or some small material gift. The more original the "kindness" the better. There are many little things that can bn dune for another In this way and yet not be at all expensive.

The name of the donor Is kept secret until the last day when the names of all are revealed.

The purpose of this plan Is to promote a spirit of friendliness among the girls who are so often too hurried to make the acquaintances that will mean much to them.

First Public Appearance_to Be

Put on at City Auditorium Wednesday

With the opening of Its ticket-selling campaign this morning following a formal announcement in the morning chapel service, the McPherson College A Capella Choir Is making final arrangements for Its first animal musical program to be given at the city auditorium next Wednesday night. February 8.

Under direction of Prof. Alvin C. Voran, the new director of voice at McPherson College, the choir of twenty-seven voices will present a unique and Interesting concert of classical and semi-classical choral selections, ranging from the sixteenth century compositions of Palestrina in the latest works at Nobel Cain, noted Chicago choral director and composer. An informal stage setting will add to the Interest of the program.

Assisting the A Capella Choir will be the varsity male quartet, which Is said to he the outstanding quartet at M. c. in a number of years, and the college ladles' trio. The members of the quartet are Warner Nettleton, first tenor; Wayne Carr, second tenor; Harvey Shank, baritone; and Chris Johansen, bass. The ladies’ trio Includes Gulah Hoover. Mildred Dahlinger, and Lois Edwards.

The A Capella Choir has been enthusiastically received at various places in and near McPherson where it. has sung thus far this season. Including the McPherson High School chapel, the Monitor Church of the Brethren. the College Church, the Elks Annual Memorial Service, and various other programs. Next Sunday afternoon the group goes to Abilene.

BRIGHT GIVES ADVICE FROM TWO SENTENCES

Dr. J. D. Bright spoke In chapel. Monday, January 30. He used these two sentences as the basis for his talk; "He smells victory far off.” and "He tastes blood every day."

He mentioned the debate team. John Bunyan, the author of "Pilgrim's Progress", and Beethoven In connection with the first sentence.

How one inwardly takes life is

the Important thing." One needs a virile, strong attitude to conquer each day. In the symbolic sense, these two sentences are good for this semester.

THE PRICE OF AN EDUCATION

From various colleges and universities come the stories that students are imperiling their health for a college education. Certain students. it it related, are living on a few cents each day for their meals and are living in attics. Some work many hours per day and have little or no time for study and recreation. Critics of such students point out that the price which they are paying for their education Is not worth the effort. The uncertainties that follow are too great to justify taking such chances as these. After all there are too many students attending higher educations and those who cannot easily afford It should not attend those institutions.

But after all, care should be taken In making the general statement that those who cannot easily afford It should not attend college. Those who attend colleges do not pay the price In terms of money. The price that a student pays for an education is to be measured in terms of deter-mination, effort, and the will to succeed. The price that he pays Is a higher moral and spiritual character. It is to be remembered that desperation and poverty are sometimes the beginnings of an education that will win. They will win not because of their desperation but in spite of It.

Some cases are extreme but those who wish a select, group In college should not fall to take Into account those who are willing to pay the price of their education.—Submitted.

A NEW SEMESTER STARTS

The beginning of the new semester may be likened to the beginning of a leaf and start anew. Failures of the past, as well as grades and records made last semester, are now past history. Hopes and opportunities loom up In the bright, oncoming future. Tasks and duties to be done this semester may loom up like mountains—so one should take a fresh running start and get to climbing!

At the beginning of this semester of school work, one has the opportunity of making new friendships, which may prove invaluable to him.

If one's course of study has been greatly changed, be should dry to adjust himself as readily and easily as he possibly can. One will find that a college education may bold new Ideals and hopes. If he gets started, keeps going, and makes new friends.—M. O.

CHAPEL SPEECHES

Considerable comment has been made recently on the Importance of chapel speeches and chapel program*. Chape] programs give a chance for the Instructor to express his views upon certain topics denied to him on a classroom subject. They give the student a chance to give a better esti-mate of the Instructor. There are topics sometimes that go out of the realm of classroom discussions. Also in chapel programs the student is given an opportunity to develop his abilities.

The student should not neglect these opportunities. The chapel should not be a study hall for the next class. Nor, as It appears sometimes, a place to catch up on lost sleep or even a place to go when there Is no other place to go. The chapel program should be as Important as a class study. No two-hour course will return so much. One faculty member takes nates cm chapel speeches; students might well do likewise. At least they should give their attention to its possibilities.—Submitted.

A TASK FOR ALL OF US

A proper study of economic depressions, their probable causes and means of prevention in the future, to too great a task for any Independent group of men. says Dean Joseph W. Barker of the Colombia university school of engineering. It to too much, he holds, for engineers, scientists, Industrial psychologists, sociologists, economists, industrial leaders or even politicians, but is a labor for all of these and even others. in short, it might be said, it to undertaking for the whole race.

Humanity always is trying to better itself. With its continued and courageous effort, a fair measure of success eventually will be attained. The engineering dean perhaps did not intend to take in to much territory as that suggested; but he has breadth of view. The quarrel of practical minds with the great bulk of the depression studies and alleged cures to that they are the work of individuals or small groups who assume that they have grasped the whole truth and have issued the final word, which humanity will ignore at its peril.—Kansas City Star.

BINFORD'S BASKETBALL

PLAY GIVEN IN POST

BEAT THE SWEDES AT LINDSBORG tonight:

Good Night!

Williams—"Well, how has everything gone since I last saw you?” Wilson—"Everything's gone.”— London Answers.

BEAT THE TERRIBLE SWEDES!!

The favorite magazine among the girls seems to be the "Good Housekeeping”. Pearl Walker, Arlene Wampler, Dorothy Bonham, Mary Miller, Gulah Hoover, and Martha Andes are all devoted advocates of this magazine. So, boys, they aren't simply planning a good housekeeping career. The stories In that magazine are unusually good, at least Maxine Ring says that they are. Be-sides "The Good Housekeeping" Pearl Walter reads "Home Beauti-ful" and ‘The Home Economies Journal." She says she has always been interested in the general subject of home economics.

Those having musical Interests are Charlotte Campbell. Arlene Wampler. Warner Nettleton, Chris Johansen. and Gulah Hoover. Warner Net-tleton said he always reads the "Etude” whenever he wants a little stimulating reading. Other readers of the “Etude” are Arlene Wamp-' ler, Gulah Hoover, and Chris Johansen. Another favorite of these musical students is "The Musical Courier". Charlotte Campbell. Chris Johansen. and Gulah Hoover all have It on their list of favorite magazines. This little research did, however, show up one little disappointment for Instead of running true to form our voice instructor. Cheesy Voran., did not pick up "The Musical Conductor”; rather while he was in the reading room he calmly leafed through "The Literary Digest". Perhaps ho had already read his musical magazines of the month.

When Mary Jane Groves was asked which magazines she picked up when she wanted to enjoy herself she very •emphatically stated that she didn't “pick 'em up”. Later she said that she reads "The Reader's Digest” at home. Ada Brunk Is another of these girls who pass up the enjoyment of reading periodical literature. She Insisted that it takes too much time.

Rufus Jamison’s answer to the question, “What do you read?” was. "I don’t read". But Rufus prevaricates. for exactly five minutes later he was seen In the reading room greedily devouring the contents of some newspaper. Donald Evans, Melvin Landes, and Helen Webber are among the students who enjoy reading the funny sections of the newspapers.

Gladys Riddel is the true debater. She roads what Debate Coach Hess tolls her to, and lo and behold "The New York Times" appeared to be her favorite newspaper.

Recreational reading for Etta Nickel consists of pernsing the newspapers of other schools. Among the papers which she enjoys most are the "Bethany Messenger”, "Norton News", "Washburn Review", and "The University Dally Kansan”. She has a boy friends on every campus which may account for some of the interest.

Harold Reinecker, basketball and football star, clearly reveals his Interest when we find him reading "The Athletic Journal” and the "Hy-gela". He likes the "Parent's Maga-zine” also.

GENETICS CLASS SEES ASYLUM IN WINFIELD

With to Gain Practical Knowledge of Eugenics with Study of Genetics

The last three weeks of the semes-ter the genetics class, which is taught by Prof. R. E. Mohler, made an extensive study of eugenics in relation to genetics. In order to gain a practical knowledge of some of the conditions which actually exist the class decided to visit the State Training School for the Feebleminded at Winfield. The trip was made Friday, January 20.

A member of the class wrote the following:

"Upon arriving at the Institution we were given a special golds, and the place was literally 'thrown open’ for us. It would be Impossible to try to describe the terrible conditions of some of the Inmates. Suffice it to say that after studying about such conditions for three weeks our wild-est imaginings did not compare with what we saw. After seeing these conditions and learning that a large per-cent of such cases might never have existed or might have been cured were It not for a too often narrow, selfish, ignorant, fickle, or silly pub-lie mind, we begin to realise the great need for education along eugenical lines.

"Another Interesting feature of the trip was the visit to Southwestern College campus. Dean Allen kindly took us for an Inspection tour of the buildings, even to the girls' dormitory where Kelly promptly fell in love with the parlor. Well, It wasn't so bad. Upon leaving the campus we decided that there still Is ’no place like home’.”

The trip was made In two cars. Professor Mohler and John Austin furnishing the transportation. Those making the trip were Prof, and Mrs. R. E. Mohler and son Richard, Dorothy Dresher, Florence Dresher. Elizabeth Holzemer. Ellen Steinberg. John Austin. Wheeler Kurts, Delbert Kelly, and Paul Sherfy.

CO-ED WRITES DIARY BETWEEN SEMESTERS

Telia of Examinations and the Starting of New Classes

Wed.. 5:30. Oh me!! It's 5:30 and at last I'm through with exams. That library science test sure was a dinger! I shouldn’t be surprised If I flunked. The examinations were strapless terrific. I believe those profs tried to flunk us on purpose. But even at that you haven’t heard the worst of it—the second semester starts tomorrow. Why I don't even have time to get over the drastic sighs I uttered during exam hours trying to make the profs believe their quizzes were beyond human endurance! 'Some kids aren't going to classes this week, but I guess I'll be righteous for once In my life and put the wicked to shame by going to all my classes.

Thurs., 10:30. Well, here I am all set to hear something about child psychology. And—Bless Pat—Blair asks us what class this is s’posed lo be. Whew! I wasn’t going to tell him. but some little freshman who was trying to make an Impression pops up with an answer.

Thurs., 1:30. A dignified senior met Coach on the campus and informed der Herr Coach that he was supposed to have a class at that -hour!! Coach hadn’t heard about it yet. Moral—Faculty shouldn't be so eager to begrudge us a vacation.

Miss McIlrath spent so much time trying to decide which of the simple arts of cookery would be easier to teach the Men's Home Ec class first. She finally decided to teach them to boll eggs without scorching, If possible. She expects to have them complete this particular phase of It within six weeks.

Replogle Is sick and tired of having giddy girls come In and change their courses over six times at the least. He just about told mo so, but by some kind of a superhuman effort he refrained.

Harnly decided to give his Hygiene students all that was coming to them because be lectured the whole hour the first time they met!!!! I never was able to get any breaks!

How come? How come! One or two of the basketball widows are wondering why members of the team can go to parties after games, but never on a date.

At the Kansas Wesleyan game, we heard one little Salina girl in speaking of Pauls, say. "Watch out for that Swede." Oh no. dearie! Not If you could hear that little Dutch boy-

talk!

There was quite a cheering section at Salina—about thirty or forty pres-ent. And the volume of noise could easily have been doubled. Yes, sir. we surely did miss Orval Eddy.

Also at Salina Marlene Dappen and Una Ring had everyone looking for one of their gloves. Finally Molly said "Well, I have one glove." and Una replied, "I have the other mitt." So the search was stopped. Each held out her hand for her other glove, and it was discovered that each had one of her own gloves, but the mate to each was gone. (N. B. Molly's was found a day later In another girl's purse; Una's one manual appendage Is still freezing.)

One good thing has resulted from Rock's "charley-horse": that word has been added to the vocabulary of several students, since It was learned that our basketball captain was thus afflicted.

Matron has announced that students cannot eat In the dormitory kitchen unions under drastic circumstances. We surmise that Lois Fry will take on huge proportions now— unless she Is permitted to continue her reducing diet In the kitchen.

What's the secrecy between Odessa Crist and Teuton? Come on. you detectives, spies, and sleuths. Just why docs she nab him after lunch and go Into a conference?

What on earth will Miss McIlrath do with the five boys who must be eliminated from the class of home economics for man? Twenty-one enrolled and there Is room for only sixteen. Think of turning those poor boys out Into the cold world without any means of cooking their livelihood!

Why Is It that none of these happy couples ever break up and give a poor writer some news? Maybe this college must, keep up its reputation for matchmaking.

And that reminds us. we hear that the "Y" room has begun to dege-erate! No less than eight high-minded students refuse to go there on a date nowadays, because some few Insist that the lights be completely obliterated by scarves, and coats. Now who can say that our younger generation doesn't have high morals!

And. anyway, why not use the switch Instead of garments—to save a little electricity?

Now it a person questions the use of lipstick or rouge, a girl has a good comeback. Miss Carpenter recommended It in her talk to the girls Monday night. At least they have a nurse's sanction for their makeup now!

The student body as a whole heaved a sigh when the last finals were finished at 5:30 Wednesday afternoon. Some of the students even went so far as to say that there would bo no more studying until mid-semester. There Is one argument against finals.

appetite

When Raymond Tice has his glass-es pushed up on his forehead ho looks like Patrick Henry, according to one of the girls In his class.

Several students were bewailing the fact that the college male quartet took so long about letting people know that they existed. And then the college student body weren't the first to hear them. A sort of anticlimax. as It were.

CANINES LEAD 20-7 AT HALF

Quakers Rally at Start of Second Half but Never Seriously Threaten

The McPherson College Bulldogs defeated the Friends University Quakers for the second time this season. This time the score was 35 to 26.

The Binford coached team started out with a bans and scored ten points before the visitors registered from the field. Coach Binford's Bulldogs played the best ball for ten minutes that they have shown this season. The team was passing well with the men drlying hard and using the fast breaking type of offense.

Friends received the ball from the opening tipoff, but the Bulldog defense was playing air tight ball, and after a Quaker took a hurried shot at the basket the Bulldogs broke down the court on a fast break and Harold Johnston drove in for a nice shot. McPherson continued their steady playing and good passing for most of the first half and the defense was holding the Quakers back from the basket and most of their shots wore hurried and from difficult angles. The Bulldogs were lending by a 20 to 7 score at the half.

At the start of the second half the Quakers came back with some sensational shots that reminded McPher-son fans of the kind of shooting that they did against McPherson earlier In the season at Wichita. The visi-tors shot from all angles and made as many points In two minutes ns they had scored In the entire first half. With the score 20 to 14 the Bulldogs called time out and got organized again.

At this point the Bulldogs again started their driving offense and worked in for many nice shots. The entire McPherson team was working well and driving hard and as a result the Quakers were making many fouls when a McPherson man would go In for a shot.

The Bulldogs continued to function fairly well for the remainder of the game, but Friends still registered occasionally with a nice one handed shot. Coach Binford made a number of changes In the last half and the entire hunch worked Into the offense In nice shape.

Jamison and Harold Johnston, both new men on the squad at the beginning of the semester, started the game and played good basketball although both are not In the best of condition as yet. No players were outstanding for McPherson, but all shared In the nice working machine when it functioned.

Referee: Jarrott, Hutchinson.

dog passing attack to our squad.

We could not help but notice the two new Freshman members of the squad. Jamison gives as a center that can get the tip off from the ordinary run of centers, and he is an equally good floor man. Harold Johnston has plenty of fight and drive and those qualities with his speed make him a constant threat.

The Bulldogs certainly lived up to their name In the Friends game. They were In there-fighting hard all the time holding on to their lead throughout the game. Their fast brand of basketball dazzled the Quakers into submission. This type of playing the game makes the game Intensely interesting to the Spectators.

GET THAT SWEET REVENGE! We are determined to get revenge tomorrow night tor What the Swedes did to as In football. Come on you Bulldogs for tomorrow night of all nights we want to see you come out on the long end of the score!
