Freshmen and Sophomores Will Battle Saturday Afternoon

Dig preparations are being made for a large crowd to the McPherson College Homecoming. November 11. 12. and 13. There are evidence that many alumni and college friends will be here. An unusual three day program of many Interests has been planned.

The program will begin on Friday afternoon at 2:30. with the Home-coming Football Game, between the Bulldogs and Ottawa.

This will be followed In the evening by a special program presented by the International Relations Club, at 7:30, in the college chapel. Although this is not ready to be announced. rumors are abroad that it Is going to be a real treat for special speakers have been obtained.

Saturday morning will start with an educational conference from 10:30 to 12:30 In the chapel. This is for the benefit of the alumni who are teaching, and also for all others in public school work In the McPherson College area. The chairman of the meeting will be an alumnus of the college. There will be a presentation by R. W. Potwin, superintendent of the City schools, on “The Qualities of Strength and Weakness In High School Teachers". Professor Blair will talk on "Some Aspects of the Modern Developments and Trends In Psychology". Professor Dell will present a paper on "Trends in In-dustrial Education", and Dean Replogle will give "Character Education in the Public Schools". These addresses will be in the form of short papers, and adequate time will be given for questions and discussions on each subject.

From 1:30 to 2:30 the Women's Athletic Association will be in charge. This will be chiefly a program of stunts, clogging, and tumbling.

At 2:30 the annual freshman-sophomore football game will start. This is the famous traditional game which gives the freshmen boys the privilege of discontinuing the wearing of their green caps. If they win. otherwise they must continue wearing them until Thanksgiving.

A get-acquainted tea will be staged In the Y. W. C. A. room from 4:00 to 6:00 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Mother Emmert will act as hostess. The purpose of this tea is that parents of students, friends of the college. and alumni may become better acquainted with one another and with the college.

The day will close with the big Homecoming Social for everyone in the parlors of the Church of the Brethren. Many alumni will take part In this program. They will con-triubute music, readings, and other presentations. Efforts are being made to bring In the male quartet that Professor Voran was a member of when he was a student here. This quartette consists of Sam Kurtz of Newton. Frank Barton of Bushon. Alvin Voran of McPherson College, and Milo Metsker of Quinter. Each college class and the faculty will also have a share in the presentations of the evening. In addition, there will be a short pep session to show the visitors the excellent pep spirit of the college this year.

On Sunday morning there will be specially planned Homecoming Services at the college church. A large choir is already hard at work on its productions. The Reverend Richards will present a worth while sermon.

HALLOWE’EN PARTY IN GYM GREATLY ENJOYED

Four Prizes Given for Best Costumes — About One Hundred Attend

Over one hundred students and nearly as many spectators attended the all-school Hallowe'en party given a the gymnasium Monday night.

When the guests first arrived they had to feel their way through a myr-iad of Inky black aisles and up steps covered with mats before they came into the gymnasium. Before they unmasked they were requested to mss around In a circle before the judges who were made up of faculty members. Then as Prof. J. A. Blair announced the prizes the winner was required to come out and unmask.

Audrey Groves, who was made up is a woman twice her natural height, was awarded the prize for the best boy. Somehow the judges (and everyone else) made a mistake. Una Ring. who was dressed as Spanish senorita with a high comb and lace mantilla. won the prize for the best girl's costume. A spider and a fly. Ada Brunk and Esther Pole, were given the prize for the best group: and three girls, Dorothy Matson Ruth Deardorff, and Laurel Fields, in large paper sacks were chosen as the ones who were most unrecognizable.

Games were played until everyone was told to sit down for the pro-gram First a trio, composed of Gu-lah Hoover. Mildred Dahlinger, and Lois Edwards sang, and the Warner Nettleton gave a solo. Several dances were given by a novelty midgit chorus, made up of Alice Egbert. Esther Pote, Maxine Ring. Zelta Oxley. and Agues Bean. The group was next entertained with a gruesome ghost story by Hope Nickel.

Doughnuts and cider were served us a finale to the party.

WELCOME, HOMECOMERS

McPherson College will became the Mecca of its alumni, friends, and students for three days, November 11, 12, and 13. These are the dates for the annual Homecoming.

Once a year one has the opportunity to meet and renew old acquaintances. It is perhaps the only time when the alumni may gather to witness a football game played by their alma mater, or see a program presented by those who have taken their places In college activities.

The parents of the present students are urged to come for Home-coming. Here they may see the buildings In which their son or daughter has classes, where be or she cats, sleeps and studies, The parents may also have the privilege of meeting their young hopeful's associates and teachers

A present-day student won't be able to appreciate the thrill that really comes out of Homecoming until he has been graduated and been away from his classmates for a number of years. Then "the thrill that comes once In a life-time" can sincerely be enjoyed when he comes back and meets many of his old friends.

Alumni, friends, and parents, we welcome you: come again sometime, and remember "Keep up the old Bulldog spirit."—M- O.

COLLEGE AND THE PAY CHECK

One of, the reasons commonly given In advising a young man to go to college is that a college training will help him to succeed, later on. In a business career. But Dr. John Wilcox, of the faculty of Detroit City College, greeted freshman at that Institution this fall with the assertion that that Is the poorest of all reasons for getting collegiate training.

"If I had a brainy boy and wanted him to make money, I'd refuse to educate him.” he said. “A good education should teach him not to sacrifice his life to money making. I can't make money. I don't want it bad enough. Why do you think I can teach you to make it?"

Here is a note that ought to be sounded a bit oftener by our educators,—-The Hutchinson Herald.

"FIRST VOTERS" IN THE COLLEGES

The following editorial which was token from yesterday’s Topeka Daily Capital shown how the vote of large universities compares with our recent poll:

Among polls of voters are those taken in the universities and colleges. They are for Hoover. In 10 larger universities Hoover leads In every one

The Harvard Crimson, daily student publication, gives Hoover 1,741 Roosevelt 621 and Thomas 484, Stanford University, California, gives Hoover 888, Roosevelt 251 and Thomas 216. University of Chicago poll is 1391 for Hoover, 604 for Roosevelt and 763 for Thomas University of Wisconsin gives Hoover 1,431, Roosevelt 1,003 and Thomas 999. A poll of the Wisconsin faculty gives Hoover, 258 Roosevelt 83 and Thomas 148 Universitu of Minnesota Is 769 for Hoover. 284 for Roosevelt and 436 for Thomas. Princeton University gives Hoover 1.392, Roosevelt 426 and Thomas 283. University of Nebraska Is 467 for Hoover, 224 for Roosevelt and 169 for Thomas. University of Iowa gives Hoover 275 and Roosevelt 125, The Thomas poll was not taken. Armour Institute at Chicago gives Hoover 335, Roosevelt 219 and Thomas 71. Doane College, Nebraska. Hoover 73, Roosevelt 60 and Thomas 28.

The total poll in those typical institutions of the East. Middle West and Far West gives Hoover 9,070, Roosevelt 3,898 end Thomas 3,587. Hoover gets 55 per cent, Roosevelt 22 per cent and Thomas 22 per cent.

While In three of the universities Thomas led Roosevelt, neither of those candidates came near Hoovers vote In any of the 10 institutions.

The polls give a line on the "first voters". In the colleges they are overwhelmingly for Hoover. The same trend is seen whether It is men's colleges or co-educational. Moreover, there is no indication in these votes that the college youth are wet. They evidently place economic conditions above liquor.

QUIPS AND QUIBBLES

Hallowe'en and Its aftermath. Some of the pranks are clever and O. K.. but egg tossing Is an abject, passe. Infantile thing of the past—at least. It should be! Those reaponsi-ble seemingly didn't wall for the eventful night to arrive either.

The model T's wagons, buildings, and carts strong about the campus were quite decorative, weren't they? And professors should remember to take keys out of their cars on the last night of October.

Of the disagreeable odors, rotten eggs would place first. Everybody was wondering what he smelled when he entered the Ad building.

And poor Forney had to clean up the

mess.

You may notice that Milton Early hasn't been wearing his glasses recently. His reason probably is that a girl told him the other day that he was better looking without them.

Hallowe'en night some Intruders entered the girls’ dorm and stacked the rooms. One of the occupants of the dorm had In her room two pairs of baby slippers of her niece's. These Were taken and the victim had a merry time finding them Tuesday morning. She looked at everybody's feet but the burglar was careful not to wear them so early in the day.

Willard Brammel Impersonated a coach talking to his squad for ten minutes In principles of Interpretation class last Friday. Girls, you missed your opportunity If you don't understand all the technicalities connected with football, by not being present.

Speaking of Impersonations—the faculty was well represented. Sam Stoner as the debate coach. Clarice Evans as the voice instructor. Max-ine Ring as the professor of education, Elsie Lindholm as the teacher of physiology and hygiene. Gladys Riddell as the librarian, and Marjorie Barber as the popular psychology prof were among the faculty per-, sonalities In evidence.

We advise the library to install at least one volume of "Ibid" since the freshmen Insist that they must have that book.

Pity the freshmen! They will soon be aware of their low mentality rating as they took the Intelligence test Tuesday, November 1. Maybe some will find themselves smarter than they thought—maybe!

Forney wants to know who camped on the fire escapes of the Ad building Hallowe'en night for about ten minutes. Any buddy know??

We didn't know that Audrey Groves looked particularly masculine. but at the Hallowe'en party she was taken for a boy although the was even dressed as a woman.

THE SELF-ADVERTISER

possibly everyone has at some time or other come In contact with the blatant, egotistical, self-advertiser, At least this advertiser certainly does try to sell himself, and If attempt at success counts for anything In the business of salesmanship the self-advertiser should immediately be hired.

His favorite words are me, mine. I. and my. His baby Is always the prettiest. and his dog always the fastest runner. Every sentence of his conversation begins with 'I*. although at times ge may vary the structure of the sentence by placing "my" at the beginning. In every discussion the self-advertiser has an opinion to express. In fact he is able to carry on a complete discourse on Any subject from the planting, of turnips in the light of the moon to Einstein's theory.' Another characteristic of the self-advertiser is his ability to see his own good points. Every bit of his work id of special merit. If he makes a mistake he is the last to see it. His most accomplished achievement, however, is "tooting him own horn" blaringly and loudly. Still another Identification of Mr. Self-Advertiser is his insatiable desire to occupy the center of the stage. He delights In performing for people and in hearing their applause. He demands attention. If the game is not being played according to latest rules Mr. Self-Advertiser Is always the first to show the correct form. Sometimes he does this with a sly self-complacent smile and at other times with a sneer.—M. D.

One can certainly tall the state of financial affairs in this country by listening to the talks given In chapel

If you hear Wayne Carr calling Galen Ogden "Uncle," don't think he's spending In a "so's your old man" tone of voice. There really Is in uncle-nephew relationship. And

LAZY

It was recently stated in chapel that the day of prejudice and selfishness is past. As long as human nature is human can such a thing be possible?

An Ohio man who can speak six languages recently married a woman who can speak three. That's darn good handicapping — Judge.

It's also true of the bonds of matrimony that they are not worth much unless the interest Is kept up"

Make the Homecoming a success by supporting homecoming activities and by writing and telling your friends about It! .    .

Some most Interesting advice was given by Dr. J. D. Bright to the col-ege students assembled for the Mon-day morning chapel of October 31 when he spoke on the topic of “When o he Lazy.''

There, are three things for which Dr. Bright recommends laziness. First, Dr. Bright thinks the student should be lazy enough to enjoy good conversation, second he should be lazy enough to read good literature aside from the regular curriculum, and third the student should be suf-ficiently lazy to indulge In good, wholesome recreation.

"The soul." Dr. Bright says, "is dyed the color of its leisure thoughts."

Friday:

of Emporia vs. Ottawa at Ottawa

Baker vs. Missouri Valley at Marshall. Mo.

Saturday:

Friends vs. Bethany at Lindsborg.

In principles of Interpretation class the students imitated mannerisms or several of the faculty. They were done almost better than the-professors themselves do them.

Ottawa. Kan.. Oct. 30—Ottawa university's contenders tor the Kansas conference football title took an undisputed claim on the lead In the percentage column Saturday with a 12-0 triumph over Baker university at Baldwin.

Ottawa and Baker, tied for the lead before the decisive game, played through a scoreless first half, but a pass offense conducted by Jack Knapper and Senter carried deep into Baker territory In the third and fourth Quarters, and Gray and Knap-per plunged over for the two touch downs.

Kaunas Wesleyan, the defending champion, which has been beaten by Ottawa, vaulted Into second place, step above Baker, by turning back the scoreless? Bethany Swedes, 33 to 0, Friday. Coyote pass receivers scored (our touchdowns by catching tosses In the end zone. The other one resulted from recovery of a punt by Mortimer, Coyote end, In the end tone after It had been knocked down

PACK THREE

FOOTBALL TRAINING RULES CAUSE ALL SORTS Of INCONVENIENCES TO PLAYERS AND TO FRIENDS

A Fan Writes Letter to An Alumnus Telling Tribulations But Thot He Should Arrive in Time For Homecoming

Ur. A. Bulldog Alumnus:

Your letter had been received at the Bureau of Football Education and in answer to your questions about the Bulldog Football Men, I am taking my pen In hand to scribble upon my typewriter the Information you requested, As you already know the team line-up and the results of the football games that we have already played. I shall not waste paper to tell you that. Same as In your days of yore, mister, those football men of ours must stick to a long list of football rules. And when I say stick, I mean stick. Why, the other day I offered a football man some peanuts in the library, andd he rejected my sweet-meats because of RULES. I didn't mean to do wrong and from now on I take it upon myself, says I to myself, that I am to remain selfish, that is, treat only myself.

STATISTICS CONCERNING THE MEMBERS OF THE 1932 BULLDOG SQUAD

Yes, that same rule exists that has something to do with the bed-time story ending at 9:30 p m and the trainers resting. I take It though that there must be some exceptions to this law, because only the other night I'd have bet a hat that I saw a Bull dog or two on the Main Street. I can give their account probably by saying they set their clocks according to Western Standard Time Instead of Central Standard Time, because of  the one mile difference between the west and the east.

Be sure to tell Mrs. Alumnus that the girls are having the same difficulty she had In her school day, especially during football season. The Date Bureau reports its statistics » that a decrease of dates Is shown among the gymnastic trainers. These poor girls will never get a break. It seems. But Dan Cupid thinks that Immediately after Turkey Day the football man's worries will be over and. he can take to having fun once in a little while.

Every day between 3:30 and 5:30 these sheiks do their practicing. Yes. the field to the north is littered up With red sweaters, green sweaters, footballs, helmets, and tiny big men who attempt to do some Honest labor, My thrill In watching them some-times is that maybe that sort of stuff Is Just as Important to learn as my history lesson, I’ll tell you I've at least accomplished the knowledge of knowing something about a ten or five yard line.

you right when you say

the information about the pepsters

needs attention to help win these football battles. The students have turned on an enormous amount of volume to the alma mater's yells this year, and can I say, the pep can be compared to a boil—coming to head, but not fully popped out yet. Hopes arc that It will be ripe by the homecoming game.

And speaking of the Homecoming, don't be surprised If you are met at the station by a boy in a green cap. The freshmen boys are to be taxi drivers of all the touring fords on the campus that day and Junior Saylor is to act cop on his motorcycle to clear the traffic for the taxis to the stadium. This was my dream one day In chapel when Dean Mohler an-nounced the plans of the big homecoming game.

Well. I see the coach going to the Ad building and If I must tell him that you sent your best wishes for A Merry Bulldog Football Team and A Happy Lot of Rooters, I must close , this script so I can catch him.

Be sure to "tackle" the Spec so you can "center" the news of the "fullback" page, "touchdown" on your engagement list that November 11 is your "goal" to be at McPherson. be sure to "guard" against miss-ing your train, and In the "end" If you are not satisfied with the results of the game, we will send your "quarterback”. Tell Bulldog Jr. I'll send him the football that the team uses after the game.

Love from a brother,

BONSACK OF ELGIN.

ILLINOIS. IS SPEAKER

Dr. J. J. Yoder Introduced C. D. Bonsack of Elgin, Illinois. general secretary of the mission board of the Church of the Brethren, who spoke to the student body last Wednesday.

Bonsack stated that anything he said he Intended to be true. The opposite, however, may be true under different circumstances, "That Is true," he declared.

Henry Ford says this depression Is only a revolution. Bonsack thinks It Is an opportunity, one In which we have time to think, which results in finer, happier, and batter days. This, he says. is a challenge to youth,

He urged that every one think and consider everybody else for "No man liveth unto himself."

We shall have a genuine objective in life as all great men have had. Lincoln Is an exemplary man.

Some people have goals to arrive at but we should strive for those objectives. We shall be guided straight by our Ideals and not wander Into life's side-issues.

His last suggestion, and a valuable one, was "Go forth with Christ

COLLEGE C. E. DISCUSSES CHRISTIAN IN BUSINESS

Chris Johanson Is Leader —

Discuss Subject

This week's Christian Endeavor program was led by Chris Johanson on "The Application of Christianity to Business". The subject was discussed In four talks, after an interesting Introduction by the leader.

Willard Brammell spoke on "Confidence In Business Dealings." God was forgotten and left out by countries entering the World War. but we have and are still, paying for the omission. Brammell said we must strengthen confidence In God and lead other to Him, and apply the Golden Rule In business. "Honesty In Business" was discussed by Melvin Landes. He pointed out a number of examples where dishonesty In business has been ultimately found out. He closed with fitting quotations from leading Americans.

Milton Early spoke on "The Effect of the Depression on Business." He explained some fundamental economic principles and their application In bringing about the depression and unemployment situation. The last talk, by Lilburn Gottmann, was on the question "Is there Truth In Advertising?" He pointed out six characteristics of advertising which would not exist In a fully Christianized society. He said that advertising produces waste and creates a mass mind, fear, discontent, erroneous standards of values, and unfair Im-pressions of value of specific articles.

Edith Bechtelheimer gave a musical reading at the opening of the program. She Wan accompanied by Merle Fisher.
