DRAMATIC ART CLASS TO GIVE SERIOUS COMEDY IN NOVEMBER UNDER DIRECTION OF MISS LEHMAN
"Nine Till Six" Is English Play Which Instructor Saw in —To Be Assisted by Principles of Interpretation Class
NUMBER 3
TWENTY-THREE STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN
PRACTICE TEACHING THE FIRST SEMESTER
Presents Difficulties of Both Em-ployer and Employee in Dressmaking Shop
The college dramatic art class is beginning a new project early this year by starting work on a three-act play. "Nine Till Six". to be given sometime In November.
Miss Della Lehman has announced that the advanced dramatic art class will give an English serious comedy. by Aimee and Philip Stuart. Miss Lehman saw the play given by an all-English cast In Geneva. Switzer-land, when she was In Europe recently. She was so Impressed by It that she brought a copy of the play back with her and read it to her class for consideration. All the students seemed eager to begin work on the
production, Since there are only eleven members In the class and six-teen characters in the play. some of the smaller parts have been given to students of the principles of Interpretation class.
"Nine Till Six" consists of an all-woman cast. but the "man element"" is not left out. The action takes place In a large exclusive dressmaking shop In London. There are three acts of five scenes altogether and three different stage settings. The play presents problems from the viewpoint of built the employer and the employer. A stolen dress creates quite a little excitement and inter-est.
The cast has been picked but It may not be permanent. for a reading rehearsal had not been held when it was announced. The characters from the dramatic art class are as follows Mrs, Pembroke. prpre-trraa. Genevieve Crist: Miss Roberts. millinery saleswoman Marjorie Brown; Freda, stock-keeper In the dressmaking:, Hope Nickel; Gracie Abbot, an apprentice. Una Ring: Clare Pembroke. Mrs. Pembroke’s daughter, Ada Brunk: Mrs. Abbot. Gracie's mother, Corrine Suter; Lady Avonlayc. Audrey Groves; Bridgit Penarth. Lady Avonlaye's daughter, Oneita Boyer: Daisy, a junior. Odessa Crist; Violet, a Junior. Florence Dresher and M'selle. head of a workroom,. Maxine Ferris. Those chosen from the Interpretation class are the following: Beatrice, a manne-quin. Maxine Ring: Judy a manne-qois. Lois Edwards; Helen, a mannequin, Gladys Riddell: Carry, head packer and matching girl. Ruth Ihde; and Gwladys, a Junior, Ruth Hobart.
Miss Lehman, the instructor of the class is to direct the play, and those who have seen plays in former years directed by this instructor feel certain that the play will be a success dramatically.
WILL VOTE ON CHANGE OF SAT. LIBRARY HOURS
Some have deemed it advisable to change the Saturday library hours; so the students are to be given a chance to decide which they want by voting sometime soon In chapel.
It is inconvenient for some stu-dents to come out early, and some find It possible to go to the li-brary at all In the morning. There fore it has been proposed that the hours be changed from 8:00-12:30 to 10:30-3:30. The students have been asked to be considering which they want in order that be ready to vote at any time.

Abe Potash". "The Big Pond", and “Skidding” were also their productions.
Three other entertainments have been definitely engaged for the fu ture and a total of five numbers is guaranteed. Last year this expected total was exceeded because of the splendid attendance.
On November 18 the Ramos Mexi-can Orchestra returns after playing a concert here four years ago. Jessie Ray Taylor, a man Impersonator. will; give her performance March 7. The date has not yet been set for Edwin
Steiner, outstanding American lec-turer to speak.
In the past. season tickets have sold as high as $3.50 but for this series or programs they are obtainable at $1.00 each while single admission. is 50 cents. They are available at Bixby and Lindsay's or The People's State Bank and may be bought from S M. Dell at the college.
Since the rental of it church down town is somewhat less than that of the ball It Is possible that a few of the performances may be given in a church. However, this will depend upon the number of people In attendance.
One of the special features of last year's lyceum course was the presen-tation of the Welsh singers. It is expected that the entertainments outlined for the coming months will prove to be even more worthwhile
than preceding ones.
The Bulldogs Journey to Wichita tomorrow for a night encounter with the Friends University Quakers The game was originally scheduled for Friday night, but due to the Wichita Universities having a game with Phillips Friday night. the game has been changed to Thursday
After being decisively defeated by the Ravens at St. Benedict's. the Bulldogs have entered Into a week
of intensive training to meet the Quakers tomorrow night The de-fense around end and on off-tackle plays was weak in the St. Benedict's game and much emphasis has been placed on this in recent practices.. Also, the blocking of the team on offense at Atchison was not very good and an effort has been put forth by Coach Binford to improve the blocking of the team.
Friends boasts one of Its best teams In years In this season's squad and are planning on having an easy time with the Bulldogs. They have two freshman backfield men namely Rey-nolds and Ellis who are fast and shif-ty In the line they have such veterans as Kidd, Southard. and Lands-downe. The Quakers defeated the Bulldogs 12-7 here last your and the Wichita school feels confident of an-other victory tomorrow night
Coach Binford plans to take two teams to Wichita The squad will leave shortly afternoons. Binford and his Bulldog gridmen have been working hard this week in an effort to correct some of the faults of last week's game and plan to give the Quakers a real battle

HILARIOUS PLAY NIGHT ENJOYED SEPTEMBER 20
Marlene Dappen and Milton Early Have Charge of Entertainment
One hundred students and faculty members turned out for the play night held In the Y. W. C. A. room Friday. September 30.
Almost innumerable games were provided for entertainment during the first period of the program, the whole of which was divided into four parts. Bean bags, dominoes, check-ers, rook, rummy, and even tiddledy winks occupied the guests' attention.
The second part of the program consisted of group games directed by Milton Early. Thu guests had pre-viously been separated Into the four college classes, and representatives from each group took, part in the
contest.
Dean Mohler began the third divi-sion by a short talk. Following this were two dialect readings by Gene-ieve Crist, and duets by Wayne Cari and Galen Ogden.
At title point came a recess for re-
freshments and then the general ac-
tivities began again. The last, and to many the best, part of all was the pep session that closed the party. Mr. Voran led the group in every McPherson College song that has been written, and the old building resounding again with the voices of a happy, peppy group.
At length everyone departed thank-ing the committee in charge. Marlene Dappen and Milton Early. for a very pleasant evening.

The movies have changed many traditions and customs, including the educational program. Yet only recently have the schools come to give picture shows as a part of Instruction. It is so expensive that only the larger can afford them, and then the films are often out of date and shakily hard on the eyes.
It will probably be a long time before schools are equipped with talking pictures, but has anyone thought of the tremendous value this will give to certain subjects? Think how much easier it would he to learn German or French if one could go to class and hear cultured natives speak the language. Vocabularies could he learned by watching the action with the words. Would It not fix It much more easily in the student's mind?
The teacher could send the students to a chapel such as our chemistry classroom. They would listen to a short skit spoken in the desired language; then the teacher could require them to write the story In English. This would create an interest and a valuable one.
Since most students cannot go abroad to learn the language in local surroundings, this would be a good substitute.
Out of man's struggle for existence has come the development of the modern state. He has been drawn into closer relationships, social and economic, with others of a common rule or heritage. In that society man has became more or less dependent upon the state for his sustenance. As a result the competitive state has become the common enemy. Great barriers have arisen in the form of nationalism All wars, past, and present, have been based upon this primitive struggle.
In the past we have been taught that patriotism. is an. indication of the healthy development of the state. War, although destructive, was considered necessary. It sharpened the mind, it drove the citizen to develop himself to the height of his possibilities. If was a struggle for the survival of the fittest. Such are the weaknesses in man that are played upon by the politic Inn and by the unscrupulous press.
Throughout the past the true statesman (not the politician), has hoped for loyalty to larger units on the social scale. In spite of this agitation the world can little boast of such an attitude. There are relatively few individuals who can calmly, dispassionately, and with thorough objectivity proceed to the analysis of such topics as the German war guilt, America's motives In the last war, or the justification of Hitler's reparation policy, or the blame for the Franco-German antagonism. The people of the world are influenced too much by petty passions and trivial whims, We are living too much with the past and too little with the present Our love for Caesar is greater than our devotion, to Gahndi
The perfect Judge Is not among us. One can, however, become more competent to Judge if he will view his problems In the light of logical impartiality. The higher call of the statesman is for a new loyalty and a new patriotism. In a word—Cosmopolitanism—E. S.
On Saturday night the cabinet girls of the Y. W. C. A. spent the night at the cabin at Twin Lakes. A retreat such as this makes college really melon something to a student. In these few hours of close contact the girls learn to know and appreciate each other more than In years of school association. The worship among such surroundings is much deeper and Is more Inspiring than it would: be In any number of short meetings.
This was made possible only through the courtesy of Fred K. Entriken. On account of the weather and transportation facilities, the Idea of an all night retreat had been relinquished, Because of the proximity of Twin Lakes and of the generosity of the owner the girls of the Y. W. were able to spend the night out.
All of the girls realize this and wish to thank Mr. Entriken for his kindness.
Since Kittell Is Promoted He -Will No Longer Be Seen on the Campus
Oh! how I wish, that whistle would blow. I sit here in This chemistry lecture room and watch every move the clock makes. Dr. Hershey Is explaining something about alchemy, but perhaps If I read the text I'll be be able, to find out what it Is. There, it is only five more minutes until we get out. I wonder if Henry brought me a letter. I'm so anxious to find but. Henry’s the mail carrier, you know. So far, he has brought me a letter every day and I haven't had to listen to a single chapel speech. Talk about luck! Oh! there's the whistle
Hurry up, you’re so slow. Do you think Henry brought you a letter? Oh, hello there Henry! You're a little late, aren’t you? Some people Call you a good egg because you always keep Freshmen like us from getting homesick by bringing us let-tern. Well, here’s hoping you keep it up.
Say, have you heard that Henry got promoted? Oh yes, he’s going to be postmaster now. He sure was the big noise on this campus about ten o'clock every day. But talking about noise, did you know he really can slug? He sings In the Messiah Chorus at Swedesburg lots. They probably can’t get along without him. I'd: like to know who in going to take his place. I'm sure tickled that he got a promotion but whoever succeeds him will have to hump to fill his boots.
Mother Emmert announced, at the dinner table today that the dorm kids are going to give Heavy a presents The present sounds good but the nickel we give means one less candy bar. Oh well, I like Henry lots so I won’t mind. I wonder what they'll get him. I heard one of those upper classmen say they thought a pillow would be nice—nnd so it would. Where's my book? Anybody seen it? I gotta go to Psychol-ogy.
We're going to walk down to Hen-ry's house tonight and present him to a pillow-top, I mean, present a pillow-top to him. He lives down town somewhere, I wish I had a pair of oxfords to wear, These high heels nearly kill my feet. I was going to buy some oxfords yesterday but I've run over my allowance already, Well here we go. They're walking pretty fast. All except those daters, of course. They sure do poke along.
That Kraus kid is loading some yells for Henry. Here he is—-three cheers for Henry. Gottmann is pre-senting the pillow now and say. Henry looks pleased, doesn’t he? We’re all shaking hands with Henry and singing, "Good. Night, Henry." Gee,
I hate to walk home. Wish I’d get a ride. ’Bye Henry.
The English history class has finally, after one whole class period discussion, learned what is a first cousin once removed. It Is not what is commonly called a second cousin.
Last year the Y. W. and Y. M. hold the retreat together. This year the joint session was voted down by those who did not have any particular attraction in the opposite cabinet. Somehow, five steady couples were put on the cabinets last year, and the separatist party decided that they would like to have some part in the meeting this year.
The dormitory students have been rejoicing—They are new getting butter regularly with no oleomargarine. It seems that oleo had been even higher priced than butter.
And by the way, are you sure you know how to pronounce that word ’oleomargarine’’? It is not a soft
"g".
These profs with fuzzy hair should be consistent in wearing oil on the hirsute quantity up on top. One history class almost left because they didn't know Dr. Bright had arrived. His hair was all pasted down and the students thought he was a visi-

A Moral Principle met a Material Interest on a bridge wide enough for but one.
•'Down, you base thing!" thundered the Moral Principle, "and let me pass over you!"
The Material Interest merely looked into, the other's eyes without saying anything.
"Ah," said the Moral Principle hesitatingly. "let us draw lots to see which one of us shall retire till the other has crossed."
The Material Interest maintained an unbroken silence and an unwaver-ing stare.
“In order to avoid a conflict." the Moral Principle resumed, some-what uneasily, "I shall myself lie down and let you walk over me."
Then the Material Interest found his tongue. "I don't think you are very good walking," he said. “I am a little, particular about what I have under foot. Suppose you get off into the water."

GREEN FRESHMEN LOOK GREENER IN GREENEST CAPS
New Headgear Causes Much Comment — Boys Get Paddled and Girls Endure Painted Foreheads If Caps Are Left at Home
What a spectacular sight! Freshmen running around In the brightest Irish green caps—and when I say green—I mean green, but they are cute affairs. The boys wear little jockey caps (is that what they’re called?) while green berets of the same bright color adorn the girls' heads—They, too, are rather snappy-looking. Just the same, it all goes with being a freshman.

GRADUATE OBTAIN PROMOTION
There's one boy—oh. what is his name? I met him twice at school socials and swore I wouldn't forget his title 'cause plenty cute kid—anyhow he looks divine in his cap, a halo would be no more flat-tering to him than is this little bit of green felt.
The other day one of the frosh girls made the strange wish that ev-ery day until Thanksgiving were Sunday Upon inquiry. she answered
*’Oh. so I wouldn't have to wear this —beret all the time." Such is the aspect of freshmen toward their caps — while to the family they are a means by which the frosh can be identified because there are some juniors and seniors that look nearly as green as some of the members of the downtrodden freshman class. The sophs feel as If they have more prestige than ever, but—lest we for-get—it was only last year that they had to go through the same agonies. The girls of last year's class escaped wearing them.
And tbere’a another boy—. He's sorta good-looking—nothing to write home About, however—who looks so good in green-brown eyes and brown hair, you know! He really looks as good In his cap as Jimmy Walker or our honorable proxy looks In a derby.
The sad part of it all as far as the girls are concerned is that all the berets are the same size. Those girls who have large heads look as It they might have skull caps on, but the small-headed ones' caps hang clear down around the cars. There are some who look plenty snappy in. theirs—two girls In particular. both which live off the campus; one is a black-haired, black-eyed lassie. and the other has brown curly hair and brown eyes.
But Who is the lad who Insists upon wearing a blue shirt, a blue necktie. and a blue sweater with his little green head adornment? He evident-ly doesn't realize what a contrast the colors make, but regardless he is faithful to the custom
—Oh yeah, said custom is that the members of the frosh class must wear these caps until Thanksgiving
Day or until the boys have played the soph boys in a football game and beat them. If any freshman is caught not wearing his cap, woe be unto him, for he will have to go through a long belt line, and she will have to wear a red M on her forehead, Only one girl has refused to wear her beret and so had to go through the ordeal of punishment at the football game with Wichita University. Such is life! But from such experiences one has many happy memories.
To all public affairs, football games, pep rallies, down town, and op the campus the frosh must abide by the laws set by cruel upperclass-men — however, on Sunday, as it should be. he has a day of rest— from wearing his cap.

After several opening songs. Miss Wagoner led the group in devotions Merle Fisher and Edith Bechtelheim-er sang a duet. The first discussion topic was given by Dorothy Dresher on "The history of missions." Miss Dresher gave briefly the history of the great work Christ started nineteen hundred years ago, and told of some at the other Important leaders of missions.
Delvis Bradshaw talked on "What missions mean to me,” Bradshaw presumed the deeper concept of mis-sions in opposition to the hero-worship idea of missionary service. "The meaning of missions to Christian America,” was summed up by Vernon Rhoades in four points; first, missions fulfill commands and principles of Christ; second, missions carry out church principles: third, missions hold personal and general rewards for workers; and fourth, missions promote Christian spirit and attitudes of brotherhood and cooper-ation.
Clarence Sink, in his talk on 'What missions mean to the world," said, “Ignorance closes all paths to progress. A Christian must go, give, or send to fulfill his duty." Gene-vieve Crist told “What our part In missions is." She pointed out that we must be Christ's co-workers and be willing to sacrifice. In closing, Miss Crist said our share is to "give our best and then some."

Chorus:
We’ll hope for our M. C. We'll cheer for our m. C. While winds do blow.
And sunflower grow. We'll long for thee, M. C.
True soldiers once with sword and might,
Fought for our freedom long.
And now to keep our pages white, Will be our purpose strong,
Beneath the smile of sunny days, Let truth and freedom reign.
Within our College let us praise The deed that’ll leave no stain.
We are an army—on the way.
Some day the world will see us larger grown.
And then they’ll say,
Yet 'tis the good M. C.
Dear truth, without thee we must fall,
O then our pillar be,
O, truth, he thou our stay for all, And stand for our M. C.

Opposing Team Scores Twice and
Keeps McPherson on Defense
A fast, hard charging St. Bene-dict's team. eager for victory in their first game under the coaching of Larry "Moon" Mullins. found the Bulldogs handicapped by a long trip made the same day as the game They were able to take advantage of the tired condition of the Bulldogs to score two touchdowns, while holding the McPherson team scoreless.
It was evident from the start of the game that the Bulldogs were not playing as they were capable of do-ing although In the first quarter the Raven team was outplayed by a small margin.
In the last half Coach Binford sent In a number of his reserves, several of which showed by their play that they ran to In the game without weakening the team's play
The touchdowns for the Ravens were scored In the second and third quarters The first was made by McCann, Raven quarterback on a short plunge through the center of the line, The second was made by Cahill, a flashy halfback, who ran around and 70 yards in cross the goal line, untouched by any of the Bulldog team. He was aided by per-fect blocking of his tea. The extra point was missed after each touch-down.
St. Benedict’s put the ball in play at the start of the game, by kicking over the goal line. Carpenter at-tempted to return the ball, but was downed on his own four yard line Wiggins punted on the first play. The Ravens then failed to gain but little yardage on three plays. A bad pass from center on a punt formation placed the ball on the Raven 44-yard line in possession of the Bulldogs After two exchanges of punts the Bulldogs carried the ball to the Ra-ven 10-yard line where the ball was lost on downs. The rest of the play in the quarter was mostly an ex-change of punts.
After several exchanges of punts in the second quarter, a bad pass from center lost considerable yard-age for McPherson, and was indirect-ly responsible for the first touch-down for the Ravens. Following a punt from Wiggins. Cahill made a 21-yard run. Two plays brought another first down, and then after two plays McCann plunged over for the first touchdown from the 1-yard line. The extra point was missed by place-kick. Neither team did very much from them on till the end of the

THE DOPE BUCKET
Newspapers on the day following the St. Benedict's game reported that McPherson had a big team but was too slow. During the first quarter the Bulldogs played a good offen-sive game and slightly outplayed the Mullins men. Perhaps the two hun-dred and fifty mile drive just before
the game bad something to do with
the tired condition of the McPherson team.
The Bulldogs have won one game and lost one now and one more game is on the schedule before the Binford men take on a Kansas Conference opponent. This game comes next Thursday night against Friends Uni-versity at Wichita. McPherson is given about an even change to win this game and If the Bulldogs play their best football they should turn in a victory.

first half.
Ellis kicked off 40 yards to start the second half. Following one ex-change of punts. Cahill on the first play took the ball and raced around end 70 yards to cross the goal standing up, Again the extra point was missed by placekick Neither team threatened to score again in this quarter
In the fourth quarter both teams made several nice gains. Once the Bulldogs threatened to score when they carried the ball inside the Raven 20-yard line where It was lost on downs. Coaches Binford and Mul-lins substituted frequently In this quarter.
Line-ups:
SUMMARY: First Downs. SBC 7; McPherson 3, Yards gained from scrimmage. SBC 253 McPherson 84, Yards lost In scrimmage. SBC 10. McPherson 14. Passes completed SBC 2 of 5 for 28 yards: McPherson 2 of 12 for 8 yards. Punts. SBC O'Neal and McGinely 11 for 443 yards average 24 McPherson Wig-gins 14 for 463 yards, average 13 yards Punts returned. SBC 20
St. Benedict's undoubtedly had a good team as was shown by the num-ber of yards from scrimmage made by both teams. The Ravens had two backfield men that were plenty fast and elusive. Playing with the fa-mous Notre Dame shift the Bene-
dictines showed that they were well
coached and knew football. The Ra-vens were exceedingly eager to win their first game under their new coach.
Scouting a team is done by some opponents but when a team Is quite a distance away it hardly seems probable that they would send someone out to get a line on the opposing team. Well, long distance or not a team that defeated the Bulldogs did that very thing and got good results Maybe that's good football.
One Swede friends to the north also suffered a defeat last week. They played the strong Hays team and lost by a 13-0 score. It looks as though the Swedes aren't lacking so much In material as they thought because Hays boasts one of the best
teams in years this season. Anyway the Swedes will have a football team.
Although outplayed and outgained. Kansas Wesleyan defeated Phillips University at Salina 6-0. During the last half the Haymakers worked the ball to the ten yard line several times, but were unable to score. Kansas Wesleyan has a good, big team again this year.
Kansas Wesleyan had an added at-traction at their game Friday night During the intermission between halves Jim Bausch, Olympic decathlon champion, put on a demonstration in some of his best events. Bausch probably received more publicity during his university days at Kansas than any other athlete has in this section for some time.
"It isn't sanitary." protested the
traveler, "to have the house built over the hog pen that way.”
"Well I dunno." replied the na-tive. "we ain't lost a hog In fifteen years.”
Will Play Various Athletic Games—Organize Cubs and Yanks
Due to conflicts in freshmen schedules, which have allowed only fifteen men to report for physical training, prior to this week, intra-mural activities have been somewhat slow in developing. Nevertheless, from this group of men two teams have been organized the Cubs under the leadership of Paul Booz and the Yanks captained by Willard Bram-mel. The Yanks won the first two games by close scores. However, the time for this class has been changed from 2:00 on Mondays and Wednes-days to 2:30 on Tuesday and Thursdays so with a much larger number of athletes out the teams will be or-ganized Again and the baseball clas-sic continued
On Monday. October 17. the Intramural basketball tournament will be started. From six to eight teams will be organized. An attempt will be
made in choosing these teams to put players of its nearly equal ability as possible on each team so many hard-fought contests can be expected this fall and winter. Some varsity bas-ketball man will be put in charge of this tournament. Any man, whether taking physical education or not, is eligible to play on one of these teams if he does not go out for the varsity basketball team.
Mince nearly all the upperclassmen enrolled for physical education are for football the freshmen will have control of the fall baseball and will start the basketball tournament.
Volley ball will follow the basket-ball tournament and another baseball contest will be held In the spring Coach Binford is also making ar-rangements for a handball court to be built in the very near future This is another intra-mural event which will surely prove of interst to many for it requires a world of speed and ability which is always so much ea-joyed by both spectators and players.
Rumors have been floating around among the freshmen in regard to that sweet day when they whip the sox out of the sophomores in the annual sophomore-freshman football game and ran build a bonfire to watch their little green decorations go up in smoke and flames. Nothing definite has been done by either organi-zation as yet, openly.
Because of its increase in size the college church choir is now to be seen sitting in the rear balcony of the auditorium on Sunday mornings.
It is directed by Prof. Alvin Voran while Mr. Paul Sargent leads the congregational singing.
Choir rehearsals are called for each Thursday night at 7:30.
