Y. W. C. A. HONORS CONFERENCE LADY GUESTS AT TEA MONDAY

The ladies who are attending the Regional Conference were guests of the Y. W. girls at a tea Monday afternoon in the Y room.

Mrs. A. C. Voran and Velma Keller poured tea. The table was attractive with its centerpiece, which was made or the branches of a twig decorated with small gumdrops.

A radio was installed in the room for the afternoon to provide music during the social hour.

STUDENT UNION ACCEPTED

Board Gives Its Permission for

Student Recreational Center on Campus

The Student Council recently presented a petition to the College Board of Trustees asking permission to work out a recreation room, which is to be known as the Student Union. After some discussion the Board granted the council its request in this matter and steps will be taken towards organization as soon as the Council is financially able to back the project. Quite a large number of the trustees were very favorably impressed with the idea.

Selection of a room for this organization has not yet been made, although there was some discussion about finding a place on the first floor of Sharp Hall. This location of the room is to be decided definitely by a joint committee of the Student Council and the Executive Committee representatives. This committee is also in charge of finding a means of raising the necessary funds to carry out the project.

COURTS TO BE REPAIRED SOON

There has been quite a hit of discussion around school as to why the Student Council is not taking immediate steps toward repairing the tennis courts.

The Student Council is not lax or negligent in its duty in this matter. Plans to repair and re-gravel all four courts have been made. Actual work is being delayed until a favorable Saturday when the work can be done.

Arrangements for securing gravel have been made and a new lime spreader has been ordered. Weather permitting, work will soon be started on the courts.

BOOTH IS TO BE HERE

I. R. C. Speaker Will Address

Students Thursday Evening and Friday

Plans have been made for two addresses to be given by C. Douglas Booth, speaker sponsored hero by the International Relations Club. He will speak Thursday evening and again in the Friday chapel hour.

Mr. Booth is a member of the Royal Institute o: International Affairs in London. Born in Canada, he served in the World War. Since that time he has devoted seven years to the study of Central European. Mediterranean and Balkan problems.

Y. W. CABINET HAS LUNCHEON

A covered dish luncheon was served last Thursday evening at Velma Keller's apartment for the

Y. W. cabinet members. The hostesses were Martha Hursh, Mary Miller, Margaret Pointer, Wanda Hoover, and Modena Kauffman. At a previous meeting the other members of the cabinet had provided the lunch.

The menu included baked beans, salad, corned hoof, sandwiches, and apple pie a la mode.

Following the luncheon a short business meeting was held. After disposing of their business matters, the girls reviewed interesting maga-zine articles and current events.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SPEECH IN CHAPEL OF R. H. MILLER

It would be both false and foolish to deny that competitive economic individualism has yielded some very fine fruit. Like any other type of behavior which fits a given sit nation, this system served its day. It is neither a condemnation of the sys-tem nor disrespect for the men who played a part in it, to seek to devise a better system for the now situation in which the old one does not work.

Why should it be regarded as treason and atheism to seek some with less cost, shall show a higher social and economic system which, efficiency when it comes to the human output?

Indeed, tje period of abundance into which we have come would of itself abolish that old discipline— the struggle for life's bare necessi-ties—were that discipline not per-petuated by artificial means.

There are no real obstacles to every mas having enough except the outworn customs and barriers by which we obstruct nature’s abnd-

ART STUDENTS EXHIBIT WORK

Visitors on the campus this week were given a chance to consider at, first hand the work of the industrial arts and the fine arts students.

The Industrial Arts department under the supervision of Prof. S. M. Dell is sponsoring an exhibit in the basement of Fahnestock Hall. Miss Clara Colline's Fine Arts students are displaying their works on the third floor of Harnly Hall.

CHALLENGING SPEAKERS ADDRESS CONFERENCE

MEETINGS CLOSE FRIDAY

Discussion of Educational, Religous, and Social Problems Will Continue Until Tomorrow

McPherson College was the Mecca this week of ministers, religious leaders, and students in the annual Mid-west Regional Conference of the Church of the Brethren. Discussion of educational, religious, and social problems will continue until tomor-

Monday in chapel Dr. A. W. Palmer began the first of his series of addresses that will be given on the campus this week.

He chose for his topic "The Social Gospel." He brought before his audience some of the vital social problems that the world is facing today. He said that we are in great difficulty today because we have pushed ahead of our time in physical and material things, but have neglected the problems that create mental attitudes to improve moral ideals. In conclusion, he pointed out that there were three great steps that the human race should take to build up a form of social security. They were: First, we should get rid of war; second, build up a better social order among nations, and third, develop a power of distribution for everybody.

"Personal Religion" was the subject of Dr. Palmer's message in chapel Tuesday morning. Dr. Palmer said that personal religion begins when one discovers God. He continued by saying that one never knows when he is going to discover God.

A special program was given by the Fine Arts Department preceding the address by Dr. A. W. Palmer at the College Church Monday evening. The program consisted of two vocal solos by Menno Richert, a reading, "The Finger of God,” by Bessie Hawkins, and a rag picture, "In An English Garden," by Miss Clara Colline.

Dr. Palmer's subject was "The Insights of Jesus.” The first point was the value of an insight into our better selves: second, the value of insight into the significance of childhood: third, the value of insight into the futility of force; last, the value of insight into the abiding worth of the mystical side of life.

The McPherson College A Cappel-la Choir, under the direction of Professor Alvin C. Voran, opened the program Tuesday evening in the Church by singing several of its outstanding selections of the year.

At the close of this program Paul Miller, a student of the College, was pledged to the ministry of the Brethren church. When he has completed the necessary “training for this mission, he will start his work at South Waterloo church in Waterloo, Iowa. Miller On Tues. and Wed. Program

Immediately following this, Dr. R. H. Miller spoke on the subject, "The God of the Prophets.” Mr. Miller contrasted the religion and the beliefs of the early prophets to those of ours today. He said, "The biggest thing the prophets did was to think." He then went on to point out that the prophets believed that God's interest is in the welfare of all nations. In their righteousness, and that no people can do wrong permanently and yet be prosperous.

"When an enemy is dead, let’s have enough sense to bury him!" R. H. Miller pronounced these striking words in his chapel speech Wednesday morning.

"Scarcity,” he went on to say, “is dead! Bury it!" After having discussed the situation under the present economic system, Dr. Miller emphasized the point that the hope of improvement lies within the strategy of the Christian.

The capitalists with their clever strategy are advocating a cut in the (Continued on Page Three)

ENTERTAINING OPERETTA IS CLEVER PRESENTATION

With the College chapel filled to capacity a one-act operetta titled "Father Time's Party" was presented last Friday night under the direction of Miss Fern Lingenfelter and her public school music methods class. About 50 children from the public, schools of McPherson took part in the pleasing musical program. With a few exceptions all the children are enrolled in the fine arts department of the College.

The program included piano and vocal solos, accompaniments, danc-ing, and reading parts, all of which were cleverly arranged to carry out representations of the various seasons. Colorful costumes and varied lighting effects added to the attractiveness of the program.

The program had the fine qualities of a production that may be found only in a group that has been skillfully and intelligently trained. The operetta offers further convincing proof that the fine arts department of McPherson College is a part of the school of which the students may well he proud.

Miss Della Lehman is to be commended for the appropriate costuming and Herbert Ikenberry for his part in producing the lighting effects.

The public school music methods class is composed of the following students: Joy Cullen, Floyd Harris, Bernadine Ohmart, Ralph Sherfy, Bernard Suttle, Mildred Gordon, and Viola Harris.—M. M. M.

DR. PALMER ADDRESSES CONGREGATION SUNDAY

"The Lord Is In His Holy Temple," the choir salutation, was a most appropriate opening for the morning worship hour at the College church last Sunday. Throughout the service an atmosphere of silent worship permeated the auditorium.

Dr. A. W. Palmer of Chicago, who is one of the guest speakers on the Regional Conference program, addressed the congregation upon the subject. "Four levels of Faithe." The four levels as he presented them are animal faith, human faith, cosmic faith, and Christian faith. With many art and vivid illustrations and with the utmost of simplicity, he preached a sermon which found ready accept-ance in the minds and hearts of his hearers.

Those who attended the College Christian Endeavor were fortunate in hearing Dr. Palmer review his book, "Orientals In American Life."

The A Cappella choir and a main trio, including Harold Beam, Professor Voran, and Mr. Paul Sargent, presented numbers of special music during the evening worship hour. At this service Dr. Palmer delivered his address, "The Inevitable God and the God We Choose." He stimulated much thought on the part of his hearers as to the nature of God..suggesting that he must surely be super-personal.

TRUSTEE BOARD ENACTS IMPORTANT BUSINESS

NEW MEMBERS PRESENT

An unusually forward looking and constructive program was worked out this year by the trustees at their annual meeting on Feb. 18 and 19. The sessions were extremely busy ones but the trustees, many of whom are young men, faced their task in an enthusiastic and intelligent man-

All the Administrative officers of the College and most of the present faculty were re-employed for service next year. Professor J. A. Blair handed in his resignation which was accepted with regrets by the board. Prof. Blair will soon take up his duties in the County Superintendent's office. No one was hired to take his place at the College but according to reports a splendid candidate is under consideration.

From the Secretary of the Board also comes the announcement that President Schwalm was re-elected for a period of five years.

In their meeting this year the trustees considered not only matters of the moment but also worked out a forward looking program which should set the College well on the road to success in a comparatively short time.

Tuesday evening. Lela Siebert and Alberta Keller upheld the affirmative and Willard Flaming and Alvin Lindgren the negative. The audience cast the decision in favor of the affirmative.

Two other teams will go to a school east of town Monday evening. La Mar Bollinger and Kurtis Naylor will uphold the negative while Fred Doyle and Paul Miller will represent the affirmative.

What Should Be Done to Emphasize Scholarship in McPherson College?

One often hears the remark that in a small college real scholarship cannot be found. Wishing to gauge student sentiment on the question the Spectator asked the following students to answer the above proposition.

Scholarship must be usable to have value. We study to learn how to live life as it is now. To do this life situations must be created. There is little hope for the man who studys life from a text book and then says, "Let life come. I know all about it for isn’t it described in this book?" College is a stepping stone in the process of development of the individual in societal living.

One of the great shifts in the emphasis of scholarship in McPherson College is the matter of rewards. Honor rolls, honor points, grades, or marks have their place os a motivation, but not as a reward. The greatest reward is how many people have I helped by developing my life so it may be useful. The date of the fall of Rome is not worth anything to us unless it can be related to our present experiences. Scholarship should never be its own excuse for existing, it must have its meaning in a usable philosophy of life.

—John Kauffman.

If by scholarship we mean the mere earning of so many honor points or the making of so many "A" grades, I am not so sure that scholarship in McPherson College needs or deserves emphasis.

But if we use the term scholarship to denote progressive learning, I believe that it can best ho emphasized by placing the greatest merit on student initiative. Instead of being required to hand in so many notes per week written in an iron-clad firm, the student should be allowed to pursue his studies by his own method and to learn what he really wants to learn. The greatest credit should be given to the student who brings in new material from his reading and study for his own interest, rather than to the student who has memorized the important details in his textbook or in the references given by the instructor. Thus scholarship should lead to creative thinking and not to the mere covering of so much textual material in order to receive on one’s grade card a symbol sufficiently near the first of the alphabet.

—Maxine Ring.

There are several ways by which scholarship should be emphasized to a greater extent in McPherson College. Comprehensive examinations should be made a part of the testing program. The ordinary interruptions of final examinations should, be decreased in number or entirely omitted. They cannot be considered as conducive to the best scholarship.

Another emphasis on scholarship should be effected by dismissing outstanding students from regular class attendance. Such students could use the class period for additional research and study. They would re-ceive their examination along with the rest in the comprehensive exams at the end of the term. Consultation periods with members of the faculty would supplement the regular work of the student. This practice is now being used in other institutions with satisfactory results.

—John Goering

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," runs an old adage; but

we seldom hear it from our chapel platform.

Scholarship may mean either of two things. It may mean (1) intensive application to books, with the purpose of gaining the writer’s knowledge of facts; (2) the growth and development of personality, by all available contributing channels.

Observation readily shows that both groups are found on the campus of M. C.—also a third group—those for whom scholarship of either form is unknown.

The question is still, then; what should be done about it? Perhaps these suggestions are trite from repetition, but take them for what they're worth: (1) Increase Indirect motivation, (2) Build a balanced curriculum and course of study, to fit individual student needs. The first suggestion is almost automatically covered in the second, so they are treated together.

An adequate education program will show students the sets of facts and attitudes they must have to successfully engage in various vocations. It may not GIVE the student those facts and opinions, but it should at least exhibit those the finished product should have.

How will these facts and attitudes be shown and taught? By the project and workshop methods. Personally, I have enough faith in stu-dent human nature that I believe motivation for scholarship will not be found wanting if such a program is used. —Jo Wagoner.

We still aren't right sure as to whether wr should be printing scandal this week or not, seeing as how there are so many visitors around. However, fearing that our constituency would be sorely disappointed (?) if we did not, we proceed with these few choice bits (another?) of tripe.

Before we forget it, we want to remark that recent observation tends to make us believe that Wimpy is just the sort of a guy who would make hamburger out of the wolf at the door.

This one is on Joe E. He went in the Puritan the other night dining with friends. As he unfolded his napkin clear out instead of just halfway one of the friends reminded him that such action was not exactly according to Hoyle. "Well,” Joe E. rejoined, "I want to wipe my month occasionally!”

Also while we're talking about Joe E. we might mention that he seems to have been promoted to the rank of trustee. Just how he rates we don’t know, but he does seem to find himself a seat at the trustee's table.

This humblebee stuff is getting old, but just in case someone might not have already found it out, we will state that despite approximately half a dozen recent interruptions. Sweetland and Glee seem to be clicking along together again.

Dr. Bright remarked the other day in history class that Charles X was the last of the Bourbons. Then he caught himself up and added, “except the ones you see advertised in magazines!” That's what we would call a “Bright remark," sure enough!

"Double dribble. Abuhl!’’—-"I did not!”—"Yes, you touched it and it bounced again before you caught it. Take it out, Elrae.”

"Shoot, Glee!” comes from the sidelines. After making a wild shot, Glee says disgustedly, "I wish they would shut up; I always do everything they tell me to.”

"Hey, Barngrover, you’re over the line! Take it out, Bowers.” Just then Chet Colwell comes in to "spectate''

The advocates of a great Federal Public Works program have been disappointed. The first program has reached its peak and the depression is still flourishing. The big gun that was going to blast the depression out of the landscape finally went off with a “pop" that was not heard around the world. Yet the lessons of the disappointing outcome of the first public works program will be valuable as a guide in the future, if the lessons can be made clear.

The three billion dollars have not been wasted, even though they have failed to kill the depression. Several millions of men have been hired for short priods and paid directly or indirectly out of that three billion fund. They, in turn, have spent their wages and have helped to support business activity and employment of all kinds. The public works program, together with the CWA and the Federal Emergency Belief, has kept the country alive and has given the people time to prepare themselves for more effective action.

The most vital error in the public works program was the idea that self-liquidating public works are a "sound" instrument of recovery. In 1932 the orthodox conception of economics was embodied in an abortive program which was to be financed by the RFC with “Sound self-liquidat-ing'' loans. This came to nothing, and in the closing weeks of the old congress, Senator Wagnor made a bold attempt to amend the program by eliminating the self-liquidating loans but without success.

A public works program that will establish a non-collapsible prosperity will have to be correct in all the ways that the orthodox financial authorities do not like. It will have to be made up of non-self-liquidating Federal projects or grants-in-aid, adequate in volume and speed, temporarily financed by bonds sold only to banks, and ultimately validated by taxes on the upper brackets. That is a large order. Everything has to be right all at the same time or else there will be trouble. But the same

STAGE IS SET FOR GAME TOMORROW WITH OTTAWA

Opponents Remain Undefeated In Conference Tilts—Bulldogs’ Regular Five Is Ready for Game.

When the Bulldogs take the floor tomorrow night to oppose the Ottawa University Braves they will be out to avenge for the three-point defeat suffered at the hands of the Ottawans last Saturday. This time the Bulldogs have had a week's rest and are in perfect condition to play the best game of the season.

The dope favors Ottawa as they are as yet undefeated in conference play and have only three games to win to make it a perfect record. Tonight the Ottawa team will tangle with the C. of E. team. This game is to be played on the Emporia court, and the Presbies are always doubly hard to beat on their home floor.

The Bulldogs will have their regular lineup intact for the game and this will make them a much stronger team than they were at Ottawa. Coach Binford is drilling the team against the Ottawa type of defense. If the Braves win this game they will be almost certain of a clear title. If they should lose this game and one of the other two remaining on their schedule the Bulldogs would be tied with them, providing the Binford men win their remaining games.

This is an important game, and should the Ottawans win it will be the first home defeat in the conference circuit for the Bulldog quintette in two seasons or play.

The probable line-up for the Ottawa aggregation will be Daylight and Barker, forwards: Klauman, center: Casida and Pett, guards.

LOCALS WIN FROM BAKER

Meyer, Bulldog Center, Leads Dazzling Scoring Attack—

Accuracy and Speed Feature Game.

Last Friday night the Bulldogs won a conference basketball game from the Baker Wildcats 38-30. The game was characterized by exceptionally fast floor work and accurate basket shooting by the Bulldogs In the first period.

A contributing factor toward the 23-10 lead at the half was the fact that "Tony" controlled the tip at center. In the second half Baker came back strong but could not whittle down the lead enough to overcome the score piled up by the Canines during the first half. Meyer, Binford and Johnston did outstanding work for the Bulldogs.

INTRAMURAL RIVALRY IS KEEN BETWEEN ALL TEAMS

The intramural teams completed their second loop of the triple round robin tournament last Friday. Both leagues are starting in on the last round this week.

The race is close in both leagues. At present the American League is in somewhat of a tie. It is altogether possible that the Greens and Yellows may be tied for first place at the close of the season. They are tied now and will meet each other

once more. However, one of the other teams could beat the winner of the Green-Yellow game which might leave the first place honors in a tie.

The Red and White teams are tied for second place honors. They have each lost 4 and won 3. Neither of these teams can hope to win; so the only contenders for the championship are simmered down to the two teams that arc now in first place.

In the National League the Blue team is leading with 6 victories and 1 defeat. The Greens are running a close second with 5 victories and 2 defeats. The Blue team has admin-istered the two defeats to the Greens while the Reds, who are in the cellar position, have been the only ones

that have proved to be too much for the league leaders.

The Greens hope to win from the Blues in their last game. Both of the other games between these two clubs were close, one being won by a 2 point margin. If the Greens can hurdle this formidable foe they will be in a very favorable position to at least tie for the championship.

It is planned that next week will nearly complete the intramural bas-ketball program. Then playground ball will be taken up as the main intramural activity.

SPORT LIGHTS

In the Baker game Meyer was the one McPherson man that the Baker-ites couldn't sold in check. “Tony” accounted for 12 of the Bulldogs' points.

Liston, Baker coach, evidently thought that Pauls and Herrold were the only two McPherson men that could score. He succeeded in holding these men to one field goal apiece, but the other three men of the Bulldog quintette were overlooked, and they can score!

Joyce Herrold received a badly sprained ankle in the latter part of the Baker game. This seriously handicapped the Canines in the game with Ottawa the following night.

"Toot” Pauls went out of the Baker game on fouls. Evidently the referee wasn't popular with the McPherson players and fans. It seems that Mr. Cox called three personals on "Toot" for face guarding. That's a foul that's mighty hard to detect, and possibly the official was slightly in error in calling them so often.

The McPherson team was greatly handicapped the following night when they played the strong Otta-wa Braves. Joyce Herrold was out with his ankle and the team was

tired out from the Baker game.

Ottawa is still undefeated in the conference and are confident of win-ning the championship. Possibly C. of E. will give them a surprise tonight when the Braves meet them on C. of E.'s box-like court. C. of E. plans on upsetting the dope and it is altogether possible that they will win over the formidable Braves.

Tomorrow night the Ottawa aggre-gaion will be in McPherson to play their return game with the Bulldogs. Coach Binford in confident of chalking up a victory against them.

If Zuhars' doesn't get "hot" in the games from now on out when he is given a chance it will be duo to the fact that he hasn’t warmed up in his own warm up suit. Really, those bright red outfits should make hot numbers for use as pajamas. For further details see Zuhars, Crabb or other members of the basketball squad may be interviewed.
