Dr. Palmer is one of the most outstanding men brought to the confer-

PEACE POLL RESULTS

WATCHED WITH INTEREST

The Literary Digest and the Association of College Editors has instituted a peace poll in one hundred and fifty colleges of the United States in an effort to determine the sentiment of college students on sev-eral momentous questions of importance. Over 300, 000 ballots have been mailed out and returns are pouring back to be counted. The 300, 000 students to whom the ballots wore sent are well scattered over the entire United States. Kansas has only three colleges represented in the poll. They are the University of Kansas, Kansas State College, and College of Emporia.

Dr. Miller is Professor of Religion and Philosophy at Manchester College. He was a student in the College in which he now teaches and has taken his theological training in the Garett Biblical School and has taken work at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago. His pastorates from 1917 to 1929 include such cities as Los Angeles, LaVerne, Cal., and North Manchester, Indiana. He has traveled in Europe. Dr. Miller has written two books. "The Lord's Prayer" and recently "The Sermon on the Mount. " He is a man of unusual insight and is considered a forceful speaker.

Dan West is director of Young People's work of the Church of the Brethren. He has wide experience, having been called to camp during the war and having traveled widely here and abroad directing young people’s camps. He is considered one of the most successful leaders of young people's conferences available.

Music will be in charge of Prof. A. C. Voran, head of the music department of the College. He will also give an address, "Music in the Church. "

DRAMATIC ART CLASS WILL GIVE READING

Groups Will Read “The Passing of the Third Floor Back” At Vesper Service

The dramatic art class under the instruction of Miss Della Lehman. will give a reading of Jerome K. Jerome's three-art play. "The Passing of the Third Floor Back” at the vesper service of the Congregational Church Sunday, January 20, at 5: 00 o'clock. No action is to be included: all of the interpretation is to be done by vocal and facial expression, with only the necessary explanations read by the interpreter. The production will last about an hour and a

half.

The play is an interesting study of the effect of a pure soul and an exulted insight upon hearts given over to jealousy, pride, envy, greed, anger, ignorance, and vanity. In the prologue of the play, all of the dwellers in Mrs. Sharpe's boardinghouse are as disagreeable as possible. Then a new lodger, the Stranger, comes, and seems to expect the best of everyone. Gradually the whole

atmosphere changes, and in the epilogue the characters are a congenial group of people living together quite happily.

BETHEL DEBATERS WIN

IN BETHANY TOURNAMENT

Bethel College was vicor in a five school tournament held at Bethany College, Lindsborg, last Saturday. This position was gained by winning six of their eight debates. McPherson and Bethany each won five of their ten debates, Wesleyan won two out of four and Kansas State two out of eight debates.

On Feb. 8 a varsity tournament is scheduled between Kansas Wesleyan, Bethany, and McPherson. Both men and women will participate in this meet.

Announcement has been made re-cently of the appointment of Ray E. Zook of Elkhart, Iowa, to the pastorship of the College Church, which was left vacant five months ago by the moving of Rev. H. F. Richards to Indiana. After long consideration of many candidates, the ministerial committee, with the assenting vote of the church, has called Rev. Zook to the local church. He will assume his duties as pastor with the beginning of the second semester, the last of this month.

Rev. Zook comes to McPherson highly recommended by the people of his previous pastorates. He is an enthusiastic minister who has an es-pecial interest in young people and young people's work. During the past year he has been lined up rather extensively with district and state B. Y. P. D. work in Iowa.

Mcpherson youth council

NEARS COMPLETION STAGE

Young People of Six Churches Are

United to Combat Undesirable Local Conditions

The organization of the McPherson Youth Council was almost completed at its meeting on last Monday evening. All but one of six churches which are united together in this youth movement have chosen their three representatives. Reports indicate that the election will be completed before the next meeting on February 4, so that the officers of the Council may be selected.

Further plans are being made to hold a mass meeting on February 4, so that the officers of the Council may be selected.

Further plans are being made to hold a mass meeting of the Youth of McPherson on February 11. This meeting will be called to submit a constitution which will be adopted or amended by the young people which it represents.

The policy of the organization is as yet undetermined. It is known, nowever, that it intends as a united group to combat those conditions in McPherson which are undesirable in the eyes of the group. Dean Rep-

JUNIORS CONDUCT CHAPa

"To cooperate with other people; to help something better to become real, " is one of the reasons for living, according to Donald Evans, who spoke in a chapel program Friday morning given by the Junior class. "Is the pursuit of happiness a sufficient reason for living? How does one find the reason for living? " These questions were discussed by Mr. Evans.

Other members of the Junior Class who participated in the program were Dorothy Matson, who read "A Temple of Music, " a parable by Mary Kendall; and Margaret Pointer who presented a piano solo. "The Fauns, " by Chaminade.

Clarence Sink, president of the class, was chairman of the program. Chris Johansen had charge of the music.

SPECIAL PROGRAM PRESENTER AT FORENSIC MEETING MONDAY

A special program was given at

the Forensic Club meeting Monday night. The traditional debates were excluded. Mary Miller gave read-ing, after which Paul Turner played a saxophone solo. Faithe Ketterman gave

two dialect readings, followed by a violin solo by Franklin Hiebert. The program was concluded with a reading by Lehman.

There are two sides to every question—the wrong side and our side.

BEAT WESLEYAN

To these comments the well informed student of today will add his assurnance that the outcome of the poll is already a foregone conclusion. College students are definitely oft the side of peace today. A poll among several Kansas colleges last year indicated that approximately fifty per cent of the students in denominational colleges answered the first part of question number one in the negative. And unless college students can convince our governors that peace policies should be adopted the attitude at students will become increasingly radical in the future.

Solving the Unemployment Problem

Studying the chances ahead for youth in an uncertain world a college president, a dean, a business man, a psychiatrist, and the educational director of the C. C. C. camps recently held a group discussion under the sponsorship of the Child Study Association.

The group was generally agreed

People get disgusted with you: give you a cold shoulder and walk away. Your friends won’t toll you either, ’’because they don’t know how to do it or because you haven't any. It's like a spot on your back, you can’t see it without a mirror, and few of us will go to the mirror of good sound thinking to see if we are hermits or not. One might spend two hours in some foolish diversion, but seldom spend two minutes to brush up our culture, dust out cobwebs, and give ourselves an active healthy mind.

A philosophy of religion is some-

thing far more than just an unnecessary frill of the mind. The eminent psychologist C. G. Jung in his book "Modern Man in Search of a Soul” makes the following statement: "Among all my patients in the second half of life, that is to say, over thirty-five—there has not been one whose, problem in the last resort was not “that of finding a religions

order to determine public sentiment on pertinent problems, the Literary Digest is offering the latest test on the opinions of college students on questions involving the peace of our country. Over three hundred thousand students will be asked to answer the following five questions:

a. If the borders of the United States were invaded, would you bear arms in defense of your country?

b. Would you bear arms for the United States in the invasion of the borders of another country?

2. Do you believe that a national policy of an American navy and air force second to none is a sound method of insuring us against being drawn into another great war?

4. In alignment of our historic procedure, in drafting man power in time of war, would you advocate the principle of universal conscription or all resources of capital and labor in

Commenting on the response to the poll among colleges the Literary Digest states: "College newspapers have launched an editorial drive to insure large and representative returns. College editors have threshed out every question included on the ballot. Faculty members and undergraduate leaders have expressed opinions in articles and interviews in the drive to stimulate discussion on the poll.

"This is an effort to learn the extent of the sentiment in American colleges against jinglism, against war as an instrument of diplomacy, against arrogant nationalism. Long groping, wandering, warring "peace movements" have begun to seek crystallizations, direction.

"The anti-war sentiment in the United States has made the most headway in schools and colleges; it is a part of the growing evidence that the American college generation has begun to think more and more about current social and economic trends here and in the world at large."

"College education even under present conditions means something like a 50 per cent chance of finding a place in the world’s work, which is a great deal better than the non-college graduate has," according to Dean McConn of Lehigh University.

"For those young people who have the requisite intellectual capacities we can still say that college is good. A college course no longer virtually guarantees employment at graduation, as it once did: but it still greatly augments the chance of employment; and it appears also to en-hance the intellectual and moral capacities needed to carry on and find ways out in periods of unemploy-

College studnets have realized for some time that he cannot insure himself of a position by merely earning a college degree. Still too few, however, realize the other beneficial results derived from an education in our higher institutions, hence too few are making adequate preparation in college for these benefits which he can cope to acquire.

In this day and age we find very few hermits who are actually living far off in the forests by themselves, or oven living in seclusion, totally in-dependent, in any place. As a history class recently expressed it, a hermit is a man who has no use for a newspaper, radio, automobile, telephone or door-bell. Did you ever know people who had no use for a door-bell? No use for it because no one ever came to see them, not even book-agents? All in all, a hermit is about as useful in our world today as a factory that manufactures buggy-whips.

Yet there are millions of hermits walking the streets at this moment in every large city, yes, and in small ones, too. They may have door-bells all right, to let you into their houses, but you could never get an idea into their head though you tried a can-opener or a sledge-hammer.

Hermits, people who know it all and go on their way rejoicing! Hermits, the individuals who accept conditions as they are without attempting to do a little improving! The danger of stagnation in thinking is far more serious than many body ailments about which one hurries to the doctor.

that many of us as children connected with the word religion. It means accepting all the facts of life and correlating them in unity. It means looking at the entire universe with objectivity where objectivity is

needed, with subjectivity where subjectivity is needed, with a stable, sympathetic, intelligent understanding always. It means correlating the biological impulses and emotions with the intellectual possibilities in that fine and beautiful harmony which consummates the highest sort of life.

All previous advice to students not to cram before final exams have ing failed we take this opportunity to offer advice to that student engaged in “night before cramming":

1. Don't try to hit the high points of the year's course. Thorough cramming requires that the student know all the minute details of the course.

2. In the cramming process be certain to have plenty of classmates around you. Perhaps you have forgotten an idea.

3. You can add to your ability to express yourself by staying up nearly the whole night previous to the exam. To be able to relax from the strain is detrimental to the mental make-up.

4. After the test is over be certain to forget the fundamentals of the course, providing you have passed the exam.

Dear Asap:

It was with a great deal of interest I read your article in today's Spectator. For a long while we have been confronted with this great problem and we appreciate your earnest desire to be of assistance in this economic, social, and personal matter. The dire necessity of ob-taining relief upon the question is being felt by the entire student body.

There is but one criticism we would make with your efforts—we are still eating ole.

Very truly yours, Theo. Farr Farcri.

Obligingly yours,

In Other Schools

At the University of California at Los Angeles, four students were reinstated after having been expelled for “promoting radical activities" at Baltimore and anti-war meeting was thrown into a riot when one student charged that the meeting was spon-sord by Communists.

Dr. Estelle Cross, international correspondent for the London Times, said that lectures on free love superseded lessons in academic subjects at the University of California at Los Angeles.

Along the same line is a summary of the apparently increased ill feeling between radicals and conservatives in colleges last fall, made by the Purdue Exponent, which says that one of the latest of these was the expelling of 21 students and the disciplining of sixteen others for demonstrations during a visit of a city college of New York City.

In a calmer mood, students and faculty members at Nassau College revealed their political faiths via questionnaire. Twelve per cent of radicals, while only 9 per cent of the seniors, 5 per cent of the freshmen, and 3 per cent of the juniors and sophomores thought themselves so.

NEWSBOY IS STARGAZER

Columbia, S. C.—Robert Albert Lewis, 17-year-old newsboy of Co-lumbia first became interested in stars a few years ago when he read of life on other worlds in weird magazines.

He built himself a telescope out of odds and ends, and kept in his room where he could point it out at night and gaze at the heavens. From his savings he bought a star map and rented books on astronomy. But this fall a cherry free in his back yard

Robert walked home from his paper deliveries on the night of De-cember 20 and planned how he would enter the University of Virginia on a possible scholarship. He looked into the heavens and noticed a star between Vega and Beta Pra-conia he had never seen before. He rushed to his telescope, but the tree obscured his vision.

When, next evening, he identified it as a new star (Nova Herculis) and wrote a letter to the observatory it the University of Virginia, he found he was a day late. An astronomer in England had beat him to it.

BULLDOGS TO BATTLE WESLEYAN TOMORROW

Defeat Handed M. C. by Coyotes Last Year Hoped To Be Avenged in Tilt at Salina.

Who doesn't remember that the Bulldogs of McPherson College tied for the Kansas Conference championship of last year? According to the this year's Conference basketball schedule, the Bulldogs are slated to tangle with the very cause of that tie of last year when they meet the strong Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes at Salina tomorrow evening.

With the memory of that one-point defeat of last year handed to the Bulldogs by the Wesleyan five, the Canine quintet is ready to battle to avenge the humiliation of last

The Coyotes from all reports have a very formidable aggregation and are still among the undefeated teams in the Conference: however, they haven't been called on to show their strength in the conference circuit as yet.

Coach Mackie lost some of last year's veteran team, including Mortimer, all-conference guard, while the Bulldogs have a veteran team ready to put on the court.

The game promises to be a battle, but if no unforseen dangers appear, the Bulldogs seem to be favored for victory.

BULLDOGS DOWN C. OF E.

Binford and Herrold Play Good Offensive Game for M. C. Squad

The Bulldogs tucked their first conference game under their belts by downing C. of E. with a score of 32 to 21. The Canines proved too much for the Emporians throughout the game. The score was lop-sided but it was a thrilling game. In the first eight minutes of the game the score was tied 6-6. But from then on the Canines took the lead and never gave it up, with Pauls and Herrold leading the scoring for the Bulldogs. The gun ended the half with the score 15-7.

The second half the Bulldogs kept their same old stride, and when the gun finished the game the score was 32-21. Captain Pauls led the scoring for the Canines with 13 points while Klauman led C. of E. with 3 baskets. Binford and Herrold played a good offensive game for the Bulldogs, while Lee and Rock were outstanding players for C. of E. Every man on the squad was used by Coach Binford.

BULLDOGS BEAT SWEDES IN CONFERENCE CONTEST

Local Quintet Leads Bethany Throughout Game to Win By a 37-16 Margin

FAMED DRAMATIST. DEAD

By College News Service

New York. — Professor George Pierce Baker of the Yale University Drama School, who perhaps has started more playwrights on the road to success than any other man, was dead this week at the age of 68.

Professor Baker made revolutionary changes and contributions to modern drama yet never was seen over the footlights or in the marquise.

The work that made him famous the world over was the trading of budding playwrights and producers who registered as his students for "English 47" at Harvard University or "Drama 47" at Yale University.

From his "47" showshops came:

Eugene O'Neill, three times winner of the Pulitzer prize in drama, author of "Emperor Jones,” "Strange Interlude" and "Mourning Becomes Electra."

Sidney Howard, whose "They Know What They Wanted”, won the Pulitzer prize in 1925.

Walter Pritchard Eaton, playwright and critic, who succeeded Proffesor Baker as teacher of "Drama 47” at Yale.

Lee Simonson, scenic designer and director for the Theater Guild, and Robert Edmund Jones, who designed the costumes and sets for O'Neill's "Mourning Becomes Electra."

Professor Baker's touchings were based on an idea that drama could be taught in classes and should be taught through practical work in mechanics of the stage.

He became director of the "47" workshop at Harvard, assistant professor of English in 1895, and full professor in 1905. After 36 years as a member of the Harvard faculty, he went to Yale in 1925 as chairman of the department of drama and director of the new Yale University Theater. There he taught until his retirement on July 1, 1933.

BEAT WESLEYAN

The Bulldogs' seconds were defeated in a thrilling game, Saturday night, when Sterling College nosed out ahead by a single point, in the last minute of the game. It was the night off for the Canines for they couldn't get going. Every player was used with the exception of the first five. Kauffman and Crabb were the outstanding players for the Canines.

Orval Eddy has recently been appointed by Coach Binford as head manager of the intramurals. He is to be in charge of the intramural tournament which is now going on. Eddy, a prominent member of the Senior clnss who is taking a major in physical education, promises to make the intramurals interesting for those who are interested in them.

The Bulldogs won their Kansas Conference curtain raiser from the strong C. of E. team by a healthy margin. C. of E. is considered as one of the strongest teams in the loop and Is listed among the favorites for championship contenders.

Not once during the entire game Friday night was the C. of E. aggregation in the load. A couple of timed during the first half the score was tied, but the Canines held a comfortable lead throughout the second half.

"Whitie” Pauls led the scoring and was playing his usual stellar brand of ball. "Tony" Myer looked exceptionally good and easily controlled the tip. Joyce Herrold played a good floor game, but was unable to score as he had in previous games. The various guard combinations, used by Coach Binford, were all good but as yet they have not shown the polish that has been exhibited in the forward line.

The C. of E. boys were full of admiration for the Bulldog machine after the game. One Junior member of their quintet said that it was the best team that he had ever played against.

And Tuesday evening the Bulldogs took the measure of the Swedes at Lindsborg. Not once was the Viking squad in the load. After the first few minutes of play there was no doubt as to the outcome of the game.

Fourteen fellows were used by Coach Binford in the Swede game. The third string held their own with the opponents.

The Bulldogs are now leading the conference race. If they can hurdle Wesleyan Friday night, the team will be well on the road to championship.

Coach A. B. Mackie of Kansas Wesleyan is a loyal supporter of the Bulldogs. At least, he's been pres-
