Recognition of the twentieth wedding anniversary of Dr. and Mrs. V. F. Schwalm was given at the close of chapel Wednesday morning. Dean R. E.

The opening part of the chapel program consisted of a talk by Dr. J. W. Hershey on the subject, “He will win who wills to do so. " He said that each individual has a place to fill which no one else can fill as well. Stating that success today dictates new struggles for tomorrow, he told of several successful men and to what they attributed their success.

WICHITA ART EXHIBIT

Of interest to many is the announcement that Fern Brunk, former student of McPherson College, was asked to exhibit some of her paintings at an art exhibit in Wichita. The exhibit, sponsored by the Twentieth Century Club, was held Tuesday, October 16, at the clubhouse, and featured art work of more than fifty Wichita women artists.

"WHY I STILL HAVE FAITH" IS WORLD SERVICE TOPIC

"Why I Still Have Faith" was the subject of a series of personal experience talks given by Harriet Smith, Ralph Sherfy, and John Kaufman in the weekly meeting of the World Service Group Tuesday evening.

Continuance of peace, friendship, prayer, balance during changing conditions, and the influence of training and environment were given as examples and ideals helpful in holding faith.

An election was held to fill the office of treasurer which was left va-cant last year Harriet Smith was chosen to this position.

Next week’s meeting of the group will be a review of some great leader’s life, a biography of sacrificing leadership.

In addition to the competitive show of chemical stunts, Galen Gless-ner exhibited a Tesla coil. The program was climaxed by the display of an electrically lighted, evacuated tube in the form of the letters MC which was made by Glenn Webb.

About eighty visitors including students and professors came from Wichita, Sterling, Lindsborg, Salina, and Newton to see the exhibition. The chapel was more than filled, there being a number of persons standing. Dr. Hershey said this was by far the best and most elaborate exhibition ever put on here by students of his department.

The committees will be instructed to cooperate with other similar organizations outside the college.

Dr. Balch spoke in chapel Monday morning on Prohibition in Kansas. In 1932, America voted for repeal of the eighteenth amendment, where-as in 1928, the country voted the repeal amendment down. This, Balch said, was investigated by a committee which found that the prosperity, of 1928 was responsible for the first action and the depression of 1932 for the second.

Three dangers face Kansas citizens if the amendment is repealed -the possible return of the saloon or its equivalent, the introduction of bootleg liquor, and the problem of drunken car drivers. Balch appealed to his audience for the upholding of law and order.

Bulldog Team Defeats Kansas Wesleyan, 7-6

PAULS MAKES TOUCHDOWN

Catches Pass from Burress and Makes Winning Run—Haun Kicks Goal for Extra Point

During all but two minutes of the playing time in Friday night's game between the M. C. Bulldogs and the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes it looked as if the old Wesleyan jinx, thought buried last year when the Bulldogs stopped the Mackie crew 6 to 0, had been aroused and was again in evidence. The Bulldogs played rings around their opponents in all but a very few minutes in the first and final quarters. They were able to do about everything they wanted to do in their offensive playing until they got right under the enemy goal posts and then, for some reason, the team seemed to just stand still. Coupled with their smashing offensive playing at other times, the McPherson team seemed to be getting more than their share of the breaks, but they just couldn't take advantage of them.

With only five or six minutes of the last quarter remaining to be played and the Bulldogs again threat-ening their goal line, the Coyotes resisted and got possession of the ball. Endsley, Wesleyan back, got away around the left end for about 20 yards. The Canines braced and forced Wesleyan to kick. McPherson immediately attempted to punt but Haim's effort was blocked. This gave the Coyotes a real break and they lost no time in taking advantage of it. A completed forward pass and the ball was on McPherson's 15-yard line, and then Endsley again evaded acklers in an end run to go across with a touchdown. The attempt to score the extra point failed and the score stood 6 to 0 for Wesleyan with about three minutes to play.

Wesleyan kicked off and the ball went into play on the McPherson 30-yard line. A pass from Burress to Haun netted 7 yards. Two more pass attempts railed and on the fourth down Burress dropped back and heaved a long pass to Pauls who dropped back to the Wesleyan 25-yard line. With Coyote tacklers coming in from all sides Pauls caught the ball, evaded his opponents, and raced for a touchdown. Haun with a perfect dropkick made the extra point. After the kickoff and two more plays the game was over, with the Bulldogs ahead, 7 to

"Have you ever been up? ” "That was my first ride in a tri-motor. ” "A night ride is by far the greatest thrill. " These and other remarks wore heard about the campus this week following a visit to McPherson by the Inman brothers in their Ford tri-motored plane. Using a field south of the cemetery as a landing place, the ship attracted many people from McPherson; including a number of college students.

From the air at night, Main street is a most compelling sight. The lighted streets, the electric signs, and the auto lights make it a spectacle long to be remembered. Fahnestock ball, with the "midnight oil" being unsparingly consumed within, shines out as the most prominent land-mark in this part of town. One can also see the town lights or Linds-borg, Inman, and Canton. The cars along the highways, which the pilot said were a mile or more apart, appeared to be on each other’s heels. Oh, yes, the water tower sign Reserves mention. But it is a sad disappointment, it looks like a glowing cigarette butt dropped carelessly by —-perhaps the man in the moon.

A CHUCKLE POINT NEEDED

When written English was created, and the scores of punctuation marks came into existence so that words and phrases might take on more meaning, one mark or punctuation was overlooked. No arrangement was made for a “chuckle point."

The form of appearance of the chuckle point is of no especial importance, but in written English something is needed to let the reader know that "I was only kidding. Don’t take this seriously." It has been a custom of letter writers to put "ha ha" after the phrase considered especially funny, but polite journalism does not have even this elementary method of warning the render it was all in fun. Misunderstanding is the result.

International correspondence needs a chuckle point, for long-faced diplomats are quick to perceive unintentional jibes in messages and com-munications between nations. Who can say what wars could have been averted or difficulties avoided if a prudent chuckle point could have been placed here and there at effective places?

On the other hand, the chuckle must not foster satire or sarcasm. The mark need not indicate that the preceding sentence is hilariously funny, for if it did it would soon become as trite as the stop-me-if-you’ve-heard-this-one stories. Instead, it should be a gentle reminder that the reader is to smile while reading, or perhaps to knock on wood.

One suggestion has been put forward that the form of the chuckle point should be a parenthesis turned over on its side, so as to appear like a smile. —The Bulletin. K. S. T. C.. Emporia.

Too bad Mother Emmert had to come barging in at the wrong time Saturday night. It is surprising how soon a bridge game can greak up under certain circumstances!

The girls really broke loose Friday nite—and don’t let anyone kid you into thinking they’re a dead bunch. After the game a number of young Romeos (principally from town) gathered under the balcony of all the young Juliets and gave a right rousing serenade—to which the girls responded by coming down and joining in a snake dance all over the campus. The fair damsels all went in at the young hour of 11: 45, altho the night was as yet a pup.

GRANGE HEAD SEES CHALLENGE IN REPEAL

"Repeal brings with it a greater challenge and a harder struggle for those who really believe in temperance than they have ever faced before. The slow but permanent method of education must again be used promoting temperance and sobriety. We should at once recognize that there are two opposing forces at work. One tries to create appetite and increase the use of intoxicants. The other, through education, seeks to develop tem-perance, sobriety, and kindred forces. Profit must not be permitted to return to the liquor business. Revenue must be secondary to temperance. The importation of foreign liquors should be prevented. Liquor advertising in newspapers or by the radio should be restricted or prevented. We must treat alcohol the same as narcotics and other habit-forming drugs.

"Those who have given their lives to the temperance cause should not be heartbroken in the turn of events, but should prepare for the greatest battle of education that has ever been waged in the six-thousand-year struggle to control the evils of strong drink. The saloon was banished because it was repugnant to American life. If it is permitted to return in any form, the American people will again rise in their might and find some method for its destruction. "—Louis J. Taber in Christian Advocate.

"In every community three things always work together—the" grog shop, the jail and the gallows—an infernal trinity. "—Henry Ward Beecher.

ATTENTION: YOU WHO WOULD BE GENTLEMEN

To the boys of McPherson College:

As the question of dating is being discussed among the students at this college there is a point of etiquette that should be stressed in regard to the M. C. boys. Many of the boys have no way of escorting their girl friends only by walking. If they have to walk there is one thing that all boys should keep in mind. This thing is that the boys should always walk on the outside, that is the side next to the curbing.. Many boys are very thoughtless about this, and it is very embarrassing to the young lady they are with. Boys, please remember this to keep the girl friend from this unnecessary embarrass-

Table Manners In Alaska...

Once again their gentlemanly instincts got the better of the members of the "Table of the First. " Fashionable these boys are—half an hour late they stalked into dinner Sunday attired in full dress regalia, dark suits (pressed), gleaming white shirts and dark ties, shoes shined and hair slicked down right.

Standing erect at their places the boys awaited the "high sign" from the head of the table. All during dinner conversation was most elevating and correct. Table manners were faultless.

It was almost inspiring but knowing them as we do, we wonder, “for why the great display and when again? ”—Farthest North Collegian, Sept, 1.

My, these naughty, boisterous, noisy football boys —it’s simply scandaliferous how they misbehave in the dining hall. In fact, it got so bad that the matron had to mix them up with the other kids. These boys get so used to fighting for dear old M. C. on the gridiron that they can't calm down at mealtime. But that’s O. K., boys, we hope you feel in the same mood when you hit the Baker Wildcats Friday night.

We always did, and still do, believe that girls are infinitely inferior to men. E.. g. —in the 11: 30 gym class there was nary an arrow that pierced the gold, or the red, white and blue either. And the target was only 35 feet away.

Make Excursion Trip Into Canada

By College News Service

Princeton, N. J. Some two-score selected Princeton students are now back in their classrooms following an excursion last month into Canada aboard the specially constructed Pullman car, Princeton, owned by the University.

Student Tells of Trip to Nebraska

Conference

A quadrangle of reactions returned from the Nebraska District Conference. This is from one of the angles.

I went along to keep the right rear wheel on the ground. (Once in a while I succeeded. )

I was with very agreeable companions. Viola Rothrock was our road guide and Clarence Sink the main spring in our wheel of conver-sation, and Dean Replogle a regular scout keeping us all happy.

We were in Octavia in time for Sunday School on Sunday morning. We regretted, of course, that we did not get there quite soon enough to teach the classes, but they managed without us somehow.

I was worried all the time about the Dean, because we hadn't given him any time on the way to prepare his speech. I was afraid he would get football mixed in it in the final rendition, but he really did famously. Every time anybody praised him.

I had to try hard to keep my head from bumping the ceiling. 'S funny, this school pride we feel.

In the afternoon, Dean Replogle spoke in the young people’s meeting. When it was over, everybody was asking how much it costs to go to college and I wished and wished I were a millionaire so that I could bring them all down here to find out for themselves.

Monday morning was the business meeting. You’d think we’d have hurried home 'bout that time, but we wanted to hear the report from M. C.. and after that we forgot to watch the clock. Those people put zest into their business.

When at last we broke away from the meeting, a gray-haired and smiling old man insisted that we accept his hospitality at a meal. We all did justice to the meal, but “Rep” takes the cake—and Clarence the sandwich. He left with one wrappedas a souvenir, and when we were half way home, we saw him put it carefully away forever.

The road home seemed a bit longer than it had on the way to the meeting, but we know two things now with greater assurance: Dean Replogle is good advertising for M. C. among Nebraska people: and, intimate contact of instructors and students with the people of outlying territories is of vital importance to the best interests of McPherson College.

A club of pre-medical students has been formed at K. S. T. C., Emporia. The membership at the start is 35 members.

Of especial interest among the group of now books purchased for the library the past week is the new “Dictionary of American Biography" in 14 volumes.

This set of books is America's most brilliant historical and publishing work. It erects a permanent memorial to the lives to which America owes most. Valuable service of a work of this nature lies in the perpetuation of those who, though their careers were of real importance, may never have a book devoted to them. Their lfie stories have been recovered from a multitude of scattered sources, and those biographical sketches, after the result of laborious research, will remain the last word on their subjects. No other publication has ever so completely revealed, for the youth of today, our forefather's springs of

There are six more volumes to be published in connection with these works which will be completed some time in 1935. Supplemental volumes will be added from time to time so that the lives of future people of note will be covered by these works.

Dr. Butler states that the manners and personal conduct as manifested in every sort of public place and personal relationship of the young people today are quite shocking.

He blames the home and the school as the cause of youth's boorish conduct. Too often the school regards its duty done after very little effort.

That general education should be emphasized is brought out in an article in the October 13 issue of “School and Society. "

With the opening of the college year Goucher College, the Women's College of Baltimore, entered upon a new educational program. General education will be emphasized during the first two years of college work. There will ho no required credits or courses.

"rah-rah" collegians, the four agreed on one other highly significant point: that no first-class student is allowed to drop out of school for financial reasons.

Dr. Bird pointed out that, in addition to government assistance, student loans and other methods of support are being offered to thousands of students throughout the country. In other words, the age-old argument that college is only for the well-to-do has been permanently blasted, and perhaps—dare we hope?—we are really in fair way toward creating an "aristocracy of brains" which will replace the idealism of money-grabbing that has marked much of our past history.

Will Meet Wildcats In Hard Game Tomorrow

Baker Defeated C. of E. Team Last Week — Have Veteran Backfield — Planning to Get Revenge on McPherson for Last Season’s Defeat

Judging from Baker’s performance in defeating College of Emporia 6-3. the Baldwin City aggregation, playing on their home lot against the McPherson College Bulldogs tomorrow night will prove a tough assignment for the Binford-Selves crew to master. McPherson has shown a great amount of improvement and by this time is showing a lot of punch and power in taking the ball down the field but it seems as though there is something lacking when the ball gets into scoring position.

The coaches are working hard on the Bulldog men to get them to click when they reach goal as they click in midfield. The fighting spirit of the Bulldogs was demonstrated last Friday night when the Coyotes crossed the Bulldog goal line. The McPherson men took the ball so fast down the field for a touchdown that the Wesleyan boys were bewildered and they had to eat their banquet In titter silence.

Last year McPherson defeated both Kansas Wesleyan and Baker by the score of 6-0. Baker was defeated on our field and no doubt will attempt to get revenge on the Bulldogs. The Wildcats have a veteran backfield but a less experienced line.

Coach Liston will probably start the following men against the Bulldogs unless injuries interfere: at the end positions there will be Farrow, weighing 177 lbs., and Hollister, 180; as tackles there will be Bell, 180, and Glanson, 180, or Heint, 159; at guard positions Dissinger, 165, and Glasson, 180, or Barbe, 158; at center, Capt. Haskins, 174: in the backfield will be Anderson, 150, Brown, 192, Schrey, 170, and Ghrist, 140:

Although the Wildcats seems to be favored in many respects, the Bulldog spirit has not been downed this year and the men have decided that they will keep up their Bulldog spirit to the last minute of play.

SPORT LIGHTS

What a game! Those Bulldogs did it, but they almost came nearer getting defeated than they did winning. In case you don’t know I am refer-ing to the McPherson-Kansas Wesleyan football game last Friday night. That game was a thriller and it will give the boys something to talk about for a long time to come.

True it is the Bulldogs should have won from the Coyotes by a two or three touchdown margin—that is McPherson outplayed their opponents enough to score that many touchdowns. But, when the game was in its dying moments the Bulldogs were fortunate enough to win by one point.

McPherson was not lucky to win from Wesleyan, but it was that "never give up” spirit of the Binford-Selves crew that carried them to victory. After Wesleyayn scored the McPherson eleven just went at the football business like they had to score—and they came through.

of the game, it must have been great to push over that touchdown in the last quarter. The Coyotes fought all evening to keep the Bulldogs from scoring and all the Canines could do was "threaten to score." Then a real break came for Wesleyan. Lob-dell, Coyoye captain and end, blocked a punt and the ball bounded crazily toward Wesleyan's other end, Lay-ton, and he scampered down the sidelines to the 18 yard line. Enslee ran for a touchdown.

But, for a real story book finish came the Bulldogs' score about two minutes later. Burress sent a bul-let-like pass and had the ball been slightly one way or the other from where it was—well, it just wouldn't have been a touchdown. "Teuton" Pauls took the pass while going at full speed (full speed sideways for him) and then the race for the goal was on. Pauls was downed, but not until he hud crossed the last white marker.

Everybody has given the touchdown heroes praise aplenty, and they deserve it, but following the touchdown came a play when much depended on that one point. The line held well and Leo Marquis Haun lifted one well over the bar which gave the Bulldogs n 7-6 victory.

The Bulldogs have had to settle down to a little more serious business this week with such strong opposition as Baker coming up tomorrow afternoon at Baldwin. The Wildcats and Bulldogs are tied for the conference lead with one win each and both are eager to knock the other from the position.

Baker has quite a margin in points over the Bulldogs according to comparative scores. Bethany lost to Southwestern by the one-sided score of 44-0, and the Swedes were able to hold the Kansas Wesleyan team to a 6-13 score and the Bulldogs nosed out a 1 point win over Wesleyan. Baker defeated College of Emporia 6-3 and Southwestern was only able to win from the Emporia team by a 7-0 count. All of which means nothing.

so far us to give the Binford-Selves eleven a slight advantage over the Wildcats. Both learns have good kickers, and Baker is reported to have a dangerous passing attack. Both teams are "keyed" to win this game and a battle royal is expected when Bulldogs and Wildcats tangle.

BULLDOGS DEFEAT WESLEYAN

ticcably between the 20-yard stripes, and then found the Coyotes out-charging them when the Wesleyan goal line was really threatened. It seemed that when everything was set for a touchdown the Bulldogs just couldn’t put it across, and finally when they really had no license to tally, with the odds way against them, they came through with the points needed to first tie the score and then win.

In a depression-ridden nation which has been staggered by a series of major calamities the college student stands out as the shining light which symbolizes hope for the future.

That Bounds like a commencement day come-on for "bigger and better things," but nevertheless it’s the concensus of opinions expressed by four leading college presidents in the Los Angeles area.

Interviewed by a reporter, the presidents—Dr. Rufus B. von Klein-Smid of the University of Southern California, Dr. Ernest C. Moore of the University of California at Los Angeles, Dr. Remsen D. Bird of Occidental College and Father Duce of Lovola University—all agreed that a finer and more responsible type of student is emerging from the depression and that the scholastic slacker is as rare now as was the high honor brand of student ten years ago.

Students generally can take those opinions for what they are worth, but in connection with the conclusion of these educators that the depression has marked the end of so-called
