OUR PURPOSE

REMOVE FRESHMAN REGULATIONS

In nearly ovary college some rules or regulations have been placed upon the freshmen by upperclassmen. In some the upperclass organizations have lost in power; In others the rules have been removed by the college administration or by the action of student government.

It should be one of the major purposes of the school to remove any mark of distinction which might set the freshmen opart from the rest of the students. Every year the “M" Club requires that freshmen wear caps provided for that purpose. This alone has not brought general disapproval from the freshmen. But this year the club has added additional regulations to the freshmen. Such a spirit is destined to set the freshmen off as a group and to create hostility toward the upperclassmen.

Freshmen will not object so greatly to wearing their caps, provided that other regulations are removed. All this may be done in a spirit of fun. but it can only make for hostility.

Let us keep M. C. a democratic school by keeping it democratic in spirit.

FRESHMEN ENROLLMENT

From nearly every college and university comes word that the freshman enrollment has risen greatly. In each school the administration has mot the increase with optimism. The large number of students, they say, in an indication that economic conditions are getting easier.

Whatever may bo said as to the truth of this statement it can be said that the student has not lost faith in our educational system. He is eager to prepare himself for the new tasks ahead. A year or two of walling has shown him the seriousness of his life. The student will come back with a new enthusiasm and desire for a true education.

COLLEGE FRIENDSHIPS

Every student when he comes to college is removed from his ordinary surroundings, his old habits, and his old friends. One of the first acts of the student is to acquire friendships on the campus. In doing so he should take the utmost precaution not to be too hasty. An ill formed friendship too quickly acquired may lose a person the respect and esteem of his classmates. On the other hand a person should not neglect to develop this phase of his campus life. His most valuable experiences in college will come from close association with the right kind of friends.

The ideal way for the student to acquire his friendships is to be friendly and agreeable with everyone choosing after some time his closer friends. The friends that one makes in college may prove to be his most valuable assets in after life.

Things Begin to Happen Be-fore Enrollment Starts on Monday

Dearest folks back home:

Hello, everybody! The moon is just coming up over the good old M. C. campus. Gee it seems good to be back with all the kids—and professors! I dare say this week has proved quite a thriller.

Things began to happen when Brammel dropped In Saturday night. A good old handshake like his makes you feel like a million dollars. There were only three of us old girls in the dorm amongst all the newcomers. Wo almost wondered how we could play campus sisters to them all. Martha Hursh busted In on us at noon to relieve us of our worry, and then kids kept popping in on our like fairies.         

Of course on Monday we began the annual breadline to make Rep-logle believe we were hungry for knowledge.

The Bulldog football team proves to bo full of action. So you know what will be our movie this year. Quite a few are getting knocked cold. Wo had to name one "Scarface, " after that movie (you know the gangster picture) but it’s not machine guns that gave him the scars. It takes a good Bulldog to put up such a fight.

Say, 90 per cent of the romances left over from last year are still blooming. Not many have seemed to withered over the hot summer months. The way some "star gaze" around here almost make me sure they weren't astronomy students. And has Dsn Cupid sent some more arrows whirling. You can't ever tell what's going to happen.

The freshmen sure prove to have some talent even if they are the green crop. A horn blower almost sets you to dancing and there's a vocalist that sure has the volume. I guess he'll be everyone's radio around here this winter. The pianist in the boy’s dorm is so good that the castle bulges out on both sides.

I met that cute heart sister of mine, Gee, I feel sunk beside her.

She's got rings, pins, letters, etc., etc., because she was valedictorian and oven Victorian at her high school. Anyway the sister party was a success even after the rainy weather.

The first freshman rebellion came at the watermelon feed Friday night. Nevertheless they still have to wear their green caps and like it too.

The faculty members seem quite nice. I like all the kids, too. My the chapel seems 92 and two-thirds per cent filled now with the 112 freshmen and others.

There are gobs of Fords decorating the campus. The yellow one is the loudest and best looking.

Joe E. Brown is in our midst! At least we have a freshie what looks like a man. Maybe we're just kidding ourselves though.

Well, I had about ten minutes time out but that's because the guy I've been going with talked me into "ankleing" down town with him on a date. I wish I'd brought my roller skates so it wouldn't be so bad—but being as it's who it is I won't mind my dogs getting a little tired.

Order the Spectator so I won't have to write so much in my letters. That tells you the dope off first, second, and third class.

Classes are going O. K. though they were kinds haywire the first few days—trying to get schedules to fit the hours, or hours to suit the schedules. I don’t know which.

Love to the old hunch,

YOUR BULLDOG.

McGAFFEY IS BACK AFTER YEAR’S LEAVE OF ABSENCE

Miss Edith McGaffey resumed her duties in the Department of English this year. During her leave of absence last year Miss McGaffey took graduate work in the University of Chicago.

If hot air wore music some people would be a whole brass band.

COLLEGE ACITVITIES OUTLINED FOR FRESHMEN

Various Phases of M. C. Life Given by Campus Leaders In Y. M. Program

Yesterday at 10: 00 o'clock the Y. M. C. A. held its first meeting with a total attendance of sixty-eight men. The meeting was opened by Carol Whitcher who read "The House by the Side of the Road, " and led the group in prayer. He then presented the purpose of the first meeting which was to create a clearer understanding of the organisations which influence college life and inspire those already familiar with them to keep McPherson College a school of quality.

Guy Hayes then summarised the activities of the student council organization. The student council is made up of a president and treasurer who are elected by the entire student body. Each class also elects a man and a woman to represent them and the "M” club, W. A. A. organization. Fine Arts department, and faculty also contribute representatives. The activities of the student council pro the sponsoring of the Spectator, the Quadrangle, social functions, forensics, dramatics, dorm rules, and discipline problems.

Orval Eddy then outlined the athletic program of McPherson College. He pointed out the extensive intramural program of the school which includes every man on the campus who desires to partake in it. Intramural activities include the Freshman-Sophomore football game. A and B league basketball, and intra-mural track meets. Mr. Eddy gave a very hopeful report for the coming varsity athletic program.

Delvls Bradshaw told of what the College Christian Endeavor Society, the World Service group, and the Y. M. C. A. organisations contribute to the college. In the C. E. the men and women intermingle to discuss problems and this organisation is a bit general. The World Service group sends out as many deputation teams as seem advisable and holds discussions about many problems or widespread importance. The Y. M. C. A. is an organization where young men discuss heart to heart problems. Mr. Bradshaw closed his talk by pointing out how a great electric machine is worthless without current so a man is worthless without divine guidance. Wo are all created in the Spirit of God. It is this spirit which makes McPherson College a School of Qaul-ity.

Lester Pote announced a freshman stag hike for next Monday evening at 4: 00 o'clock.

The next edition of the Spectator will bo dedicated to the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., student organizations on the campus. With this edition the "Y" organizations will begin their annual membership drive. Members of each cabinet will be given an opportunity to express themselves on some topic or theme related to their organizations.

This edition will also be dedicated to the alumni of McPherson college and copies of the Spectator will be sent to them.

COLLEGE C. E. HOLDS FIRST MEETING OF YEAR

Vesper Service on Campus Is First Program

The first meeting of the college Christian Endeavor society was a vesper service held on the college campus Sunday, September 10. Included in the program was a selection of nature readings given by Miss Della Lehman. This was followed by a talk by Dean F. A. Replogle. Dean Replogle, in his talk, challenged students to higher and more constructive thinking, pointing out the great need of constructive thinking today.

Sunday, September 17, the regular C. E. program was given in the basement of the college church. This program consisted of a number of short biographies given by different students. Wayne Carr discussed the life of J. Cook. Neva Root told of the hardships and trials of John Bunyan. Clarence Sink and Faithe Ket-terman discussed the lives of two Bible characters. Sink telling of Nehemiah, his work in the king's court and later in rebuilding Jerusalem and Miss Ketterman speaking on the trials of Job. Wayne Carr sang a tenor solo. "Like As a Father. " Guy Hayes was in charge of devotions for the meeting.

The Christian Endeavor society will need to be reorganized in a short time due to the fact that a number of the officers and committee chairmen are not returning to school. The officers who have returned are Royal Frantz, president; Paul Sher-fy. vice president; Paul Heckman, treasurer; Galen Ogden, program chairman; Lois Edwards, music chairman, and Lois Fry. social chairman.

Ward Williams of the class of '33 was on the campus Saturday.

M. C. ALUMNUS NOW IN

KENTUCKY PASTORATE

"Enjoy the little you have while the fool is hunting for more. " BOOST McPHERSON COLLEGE:

Football practice has been in prog-ress for the McPherson College Bull-dogs for the past two weeks and Coaches Melvin J. Binford and Les-ter Selves are beginning to get a line on the material they have at hand.

At the present time there are ton lettermen reporting for dally practices. Prospects for the new men to develop are looking good.

Lettermen in the line include Min-ear. Guy Hayes, Orville Eddy, Newell Wine. Waller Pauls and Robert Bow-man. Backfield men who have won letters at McPherson college are: Leonard Wiggins. Harold Binford. Chet Johnson and Russell Carpenter.

The Bulldog line will be lighter this year than last and somewhat inexperienced. For center position Coach Binford has Cleo Minear, a two-year letterman. However, he is being pressed by Kauffman. an all-Central Kansas League man and it looks like a real battle for the position.

Eddy and Hayes are lettermen at guards. Berger and Vasques are new men who have been showing up well as guards. Vasquez was a backfield man in high school but is a good blocker and at present it looks as though he will see much action at guard position.

Wine, a three-year letterman is the only veteran tackle in the Bulldog camp. Walter Weddle and David Duncanson, squadmen from last year are working for tackle positions. Chester Caldwell, who has been an all-Central Kansas League selection for the past two years looks like a good candidate for one tackle. There is also the possibility of shifting Eddy to a tackle position.

Lttermen at ends are Pauls and Bowman. Archer Van Nortwick. another end was a member of the Bulldog squad two years ago. Harold Johnston, captain of the local high school team last year. is trying for one of the end positions. Prather, another freshmen looks like a good man for an end.

At present it seems that the back-Held will be the strongest that it has been for several years. If the line holds up the backfield should be a power in the conference this year. Chet Johnston and Harold Binford are both lettermen at quarterback. Byron Eshelman and Cox are new men trying for this position.

Carpenter and Wiggins are veterans at the halfback positions, and several other good men are bidding

SELVES IS ASSISTANT FOOTBALL COACH AGAIN

Lester "Bud" Selves, who assisted Coach Binford In training the Ball-dog team two years ago is back. Last year Mr. Selves was employed in Emporia.

Coach Selves is working on the backfield while Binford has been coaching the line.

LIKE THE BULLDOGS' LOOKS

A number of downtown fans bare been watching the McPherson college football squad in its workouts recently, and now that the scrimmage stage baa been reached. Larger crowds are getting out in the late afternoon. It looks now as if Coaches Binford and Selves have the best group of grid talent that has been available at the school in recent years, and they are shaping into form nicely. There is a big array of backfield material trying out for the first team positions, and looking over the men at work it would appear as if the coaches will have to use the judgment of Solomon in making their selections in this department. The line is showing marked improvement, and it looks now as if the Canines will give their supporters some real entertainment this fall. —McPherson Republican.
