FACULTY RULING MADE ON USE OF CLASS CARDS


Card is to Carry Record of Student and Determine His Eligibility in the Class

A recent ruling of the administrative committee of the college concerning the use of class cards has been made effective on the campus.

According to the ruling the blue class cards carry the record of the student in each class and he may be called from that class at any time. During the time that the card is out of the class there is no record kept for the student's class work.

The new regulation as it has been drawn up is as follows:

1. Each student should have a class card signed by the Dean-Registrar and the Business Manager. No student is to be admitted to any class without this card. As soon as admitted to the class the instructor should add his signature. Class cards for the first semester are blue and for the second semester salmon color.

2. Conditions on which a card should be returned to the Deans’ office: (1) When class card is unsigned. (2) When a student is absent three times in succession — he is automatically withdrawn until re-instated and must apply at the Dean's office, secure his class card and return it to the instruc-tor as when originally entering the class.

(3) When a student is doing poor work and the teacher feels incapable of remedying the situation.    

(4) When a student drops the course or changes a course. (5) The Business Office or the Dean's office may call for the card of any student at any (Continued on Page Two)


COMING EVENTS


WELCOME FRIENDS



Welcome

One of the constant and abiding joys in the lives of human beings is the fact that they have friends, that they are capable of renewing old friendships and acquiring new ones. During our college days at McPherson each one of us has made his friends; now we are scattered throughout the world, hundreds of us. Homecoming affords us the pleasure of returning to our dear Alma Mater, the scene of so many happy memories. Here we meet new friends, greet old ones, talk over old times, tell of our experiences, wish each other well.    

o In the name of the Alumni Association and hundreds of M. C. friends. I bid you welcome to our Home-coming. May your visit here be enjoyable and may you have a prosperous year.

Sincerely,

MRS. RUSH HOLLOWAY.

Secretary of the Alumni Association.

Welcome Back to M. C.

"Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog." So we might as well say, or we could easily say "Once a Booster, always a Booster." We are happy to welcome you back again for this brief visit. We are proud of our team and the manner in which the school is progressing this year. We trust this little visit will give you the same joy your school days always did. Welcome! Alumni! Welcome!

       Sincerely,

PROF. S. M. DELL.

President of Alumni Association.

To Returning Alumni

We welcome you back to your Alma Mater. No, it is not the same Alma Mater—years have intervened. Perhaps a silver lock has found its way into your hair. Maybe a line or two is showing in your face - and ours. Father Time is at work. He has gathered a goodly harvest from our number.

But as you return you will find youth here and laughter and love as ever. There is music and playing, faces are new, but they are the same light hearts, happy and free, expectant and eager.

You are welcomed to your Alma Mater, to our balls and classrooms and our campus. You are welcomed to our homes and our hearts. May our common loyalty to the inspiring ideals of Alma Mater make us strong to carry on for Her and Her ideals.

   Sincerely,

DR. V. F. SCHWALM.

   President of McPherson College.

In "The Joy Lady," Blossom, the little maid, (Faithe Ketterman) is shocked to learn that her mistress, Jasmine, a young Chinese girl. (Max-ine Ring), has fallen in love with Chin Yin. (Othetta Wall), the son of a wealthy merchant Mr. Chin.

(Bernice Dappen). When Mr. Chin comes to call upon Mr. Hsu, the wizened little father of Jasmine, played by Velma Keller. Jasmine appears and Mr. Chin falls violently in love with her. Before the tangle is straightened out the wily King of the Thieves (Edith Bechtelhelmer), has to be called in. Comedy and local color are added to the play by the grouchy old porter of Mr. Hsu, played by Marjorie Brown, and the servant of Mr. Chin, played by Ada Brunk.

Girls of the principles of speech classes have been working on scen-ery and costumes. Several of them will also act as ushers and help with the tea to be given Friday afternoon for the down town ladies.

THE GLAD RETURN    

Today and tomorrow the old graduates of McPherson college will mingle with other friends of the institution in greeting the old alma mater and enjoying a week end of pleasant memories and old friends.

This is the glad return home. It is like the student who goes away to college for four years and returns. Perhaps he has returned during the time, perhaps he has been away longer. In his return home he sees old rights and old friends. Old memories flood in and the enthusiasm that he had in former days returns. Ills work is forgotten in the few days that he can enjoy among homo folks. In those days of homecoming we hope that you may enjoy yourself and reassert your loyalty to M. C.

The program today and tomorrow is entertainment. The Swede game, the alumni banquet, the freshman-sophomore football tilt, and the homecoming sermon are for you. We wish you a happy return.—The Spectator Staff


The big game of the 1933 football season will be played at the McPherson Athletic Park tonight when the McPherson college Bulldogs and the Terrible Swedes of Bethany college tangle in a Kansas Conference game. The game will be played as the feature attraction of the Homecoming celebration.

Dope in this game never means a thing because of the intense rivalry between the two schools which makes this game a grudge battle. In years past inspired teams have gone on the field for both schools and have made all the dopesters look had.

According to season’s records this year the Bulldogs should have the edge but due to the way the Swedes held Hays last week local fans are of the opinion that the Bethany eleven will give the Binford-Selves crew opposition a plenty.

If history repeats itself the Swedes will again win this grid classic. The last time that a Bulldog team has defeated their rivals was back in 1923 and that by a score of 7-3. Since that time there have been two


tie games and the Terrible Ones have won the remaining games.

Coaches Binford and Selves and a fighting bunch of Bulldogs have been working hard in preparation for this game and they are determined to give our Swede friends from the north a sound trouncing in this gridiron classic. Every effort is being made by the coaches and members of the squad to make this game a victory.

Cleo Minear, Newall Wine, Guy Hayes, and Bob Bowman, seniors, will be playing their last game against the Swedes and having never had the thrill of defeating their


ancient rivals are doubly pager to win. These men can well remember a game or two against Bethany when everything pointed to a win for McPherson and yet the Swedes won the game. These men as well as the entire squad are determined to get revenge for some defeats of the

past.

As this game is being played as the feature attraction of Homecoming for both schools provisions are being made for the largest crowd of the season. Both teams are ready to put full strength against each other In a game that always means a successful season for the winner.



OUR FRIENDLY HOSTILITY

One game of the year should be won, even though we lose the rest. One game of the year we should all see. One we should all boost. The football game this evening with the Terrible Swedes is the highlight of the season. It is the renewal of the friendly hostility and competition that has existed between the two schools of this county for several years.

A spirit of this type is good. It adds to the spirit of the school. It adds color to the football season. One caution is necessary, however. The competition should not lend to any unsportsmanlike act on the part of other school. Treat the opposition courteously and fairly. Invite them back to renew our friendly hostility next year.

5.    The class cards are all to be returned at mid-semester and at the semester end with the grade for each student. At the end of the semester, these are filed as a part of the permanent record of the student.

BULLDOGS TROUNCE BETHEL IN NON-CONFERENCE GAME-THE ONLY UNDEFEATED TEAM IN KANSAS


Entire Team Sees Action As Newton Team Is Outplayed in Every Department of the Game—Bulldogs Do Not Play Their Best Football


carried the ball over and then he kicked a beautiful place kick for the extra point.

Substitutions had been made frequently by the McPherson coaches and now even more went into the game. The Bulldogs waded deep into Bethel territory following a 24 yard run by Schurr and some other gains by McPherson backs and the final score came on another pass from Johnston to Pauls for 6 yards. Schurr’s placekick hit the crossbar and skidded over the bar to make the final score 26.


SCORE IS 26-0    

Only Scoring Threat Is Made Against Bulldogs When Roberts Runs 42 Yards

The McPherson college Bulldogs won a non-conference football game at Newton Thursday night when they defeated Bethel college by a score of 26-0    

The Bulldogs played a slow, ragged game during much of the battle but still were able to run up a nice score and the entire squad was given a chance to play.

At the start of the game and during most of the first quarter the Mc-Pherson eleven failed to show the drive and fierceness that has featured their play in previous games. However, Bethel could not gain against the Bulldogs and toward the latter part of the quarter the McPherson aggregation began to click.

The Binford-Selves machine pressed deep into Bethel territory but the Bethel line stoppod them when they were about ready to score and held them for downs. But the Canines brought the ball right back and on the third play of the second quarter Burress went over the line for the first score. Wiggins' kick for extra


point was wild.

McPherson scored another touchdown in the second quarter by marching down the field on straight football. Bethel's line strengthened with their backs to the goal and Carpenter shot a pass to Pauls for 12 yards that scored the second touchdown. Wiggins again missed the try for point.

During the latter part of this quarter. Bethel made their only threat of the game. With the ball on their own 35 yard line, Cunningham threw a short pass to Roberts who ran down the sidelines until tackled from behind by Dunn, McPherson fullback. The Graymaroons gained 42 yards on the play. McPherson held Bethel at that spot and took the ball on downs.

Toward the latter part of the third quarter the McPherson machine got to going and the Bulldog backs raced through for good gains. Clyde Schurr, shifty Bulldog halfback, made several pretty runs in this march down the field. Schurr made a 10 yard run at the close of the third quarter that missed by inches of being over the last white marker. On the first play of the fourth quarter Schurr
