CALENDAR FOR THE WEEK
Work under the National Youth Administration is helping 41 students in attending college here this fall. The N. Y. A. consists of various, kinds of work for the students, such as work In the city library, the Red Cross, the police station, pastors assistant, community welfare, Y. M.
C. A., Junior orchestra, community dramatics, landscape gardening, and the gathering and compiling of a history of the college.
The object of the N. Y. A. Is to aid the needy students In securing an education, so that they will not loaf, loiter, and roam. The primary aim is to build up the youth’s mor-ale or help him to recover it. They must earn this help; it is not a gift.
These jobs are given out to the colleges on the basis of their total enrollment of resident students.
These students must carry three-fourths of a normal program of study. The majority of the students will earn $15 a month and none will receive more than $20 per month.
The students shall be selected for these jobs according to the need of the student, the character and ability to do college work, and the status of attendance. No student shall work more than thirty hours In any week or eight hours in any day. The individual student participating In this program will be paid directly by chock. In case that one school in the state does not use its full quota, the state is allowed to transfer that aid to some other school in the state.
In order for a student to receive this aid ho must certify that he must have an indicated amount of money per month to enter and remain in college. He must agree to do the work to the best of his ability. The student must also state what the money is to be used for.
It has been said that it is necessary to educate not only because of the necessity, but also to hold up the old saying: “As goes the Youth,
so goes America.’’

The Spectator, according to our masthead, is the "Official Student Publication of McPherson College, McPherson, Kansas. Published every Thursday by the Student Council." Officially The Spectator is a student publication, written and edited by students, about students, for student readers. It is our aim to make this a reality.
To the "Spec" staff "dorm kids" and "town kids” are alike. We know no cliques, have no favorites, and strive to give equal attention to all departments, and to all activities. A constant effort is made to maintain balance between the various types of reading matter.
The staff is headed by editor and business manager who are elected by popular vote of the students. Department heads are appointed impartially on the basis of experience. Interest, and service given. The corps of reporters which is made up of a group of Interested Journalists and embryo Journalists, la a representative group.
Readers are as vital to a newspaper as reporters. Although everyone cannot be pleased, a greater number will receive more nearly what they want if they occasionally express their opinion. Personal opinion is invited, provided the con-tributor will sign the article he wishes published. Comment on campus affairs, current national and international events, and other editorial thoughts from the readers are welcome. You can also make The Spectator more interesting by informing us of news, and by contributing original features. Criticism will be accepted graciously. Which reminds us of on aspiring young man, who had recently mailed a voluminous treatise to the editor of the local Journal telling hom how to improve bis paper, called in per-son upon the editor.
"Are you carrying out those suggestions I sent you?" he inquired.
"That man with a waste-basket whom you met in the hall is carrying them out. He's our Janitor.
The Spectator is a business enterprise. The Student Connell profits in proportion to the business ability and "push" of the business manager and his staff. Income is received largely through advertising space sold to local business firms. The Spectator is approved by the Mc-Pherson Chamber of Commerce an an advertising medium. Our paper has been well supported by the business men of town, and they in turn should receive student trade.
Running a newspaper is much like being pastor of a church—you just can’t please everyone. But we want you to know that The Spectator is your paper and we are trying to please you.

Ladies and gentlemen, we present for your enjoyment and enlightenment the old column under new management. It is not. quite proper to apologize for something before you have tried lt, but we are doing just that. Being new on the campus, we probably will make mistakes, but we didn’t ask for the job, so—-
Our now profs are quite congenial. This is particularly true in the case of our two unmarried instructors. The handsome young gentleman. Dr. Flory, has been seen escorting Miss Smith to our many (?) social functions. Rumor floating out of the girls’ dorm indicates that much disappointment was felt among the inmates when they found they had no chance with the aforementioned adonis.
And then there’s the well-meaning chap who. when asked in Modern European History class to name a ruling family in Europe today as was the House of Hapsburg “ ‘way back when," declared, "The House of Commons!" If you don’t get the point, enroll for a course in history or government at once.
female cheerleader has become very snooty, she should be denied the privilege (?) of dating. Dire punishment will be meted out to any male who refuses to obey this edict. The “boycott" will last only as long as the lady in question continues her present attitude.
Our President thinks chapel is about as interesting as we do. He closed it the other day by saying, "All those In the rear please remain standing in your seats until those in front have passed out."
Sidelights on the Faculty Reception Hick was seen with a new girl friend. What happened to Lillian?

There is no sadness ip her heart for the departed, wo hope. . . . Those War-rensburg pals, Mollie and Estie, after a whole year of a policy of “lassez faire" seem to bo getting off to a good start. . The "Kitchen Quartette” namely, Andy, Aileen, Brubaker and Becky Ann, wore seen en masse. Wo hear there is quite a long story in connection with the first couple, but we won’t take time for that hero. Andy will bo glad to tell you all about it.

Dave Metzger, after two years of Isolation, finally broke loose and had a date. Power to you Dave. If some of those other bashful guys in the dorm would break the fast and try to get a date, it would make Mrs. Arnold's girls very happy.
Was Prof. Flory still thinking of last Friday’s chapel program when he said "spinish” (spinach to you) instead of "Finnish" In his Introduction to Literature class Wednesday? Perhaps it's Just his knowl-edge of flue literature, including Popeye, the Sailor Man, that caused him to utter the blunder.

Twenty-Eight Men Are Out For Practice Including Several Lettermen And Promising New Material.
Give McPherson two ends and two tackles and they are apt to go places. At present it seems that these have been found. Coaches Binford and Selves have spent a hard two weeks working the men on plays and fundamentals, and they have what they believe are the men to be used in the positions.
From last year’s squad of 22 men ten have reported for practice this year. At present the outlook for the season is quite satisfactory However, it Is impossible to make any predictions of what may happen for another week or two. After taking a glance at the material it seems that the backfield is going to bo exceptionally strong while the line will need to develop more In the next week.
The field has been completed with the exception of some cleaning up and the Installing of the lights. The lights will be installed to-day and the first night practice will be held to-night provided the wind docs not prevent installation of the lights.
The first game of the season has been set up from September 27 to September 26. This will be the first game on the now field and is to be played with Friends University of Wichita.
Score Board Showing Essentials Is Nearly Complete—--It Will Have Business Ads
The assembling of the stadium at the college field Is nearly completed and the structure is now being painted. A number of college stu-dents have volunteered to do the painting and the paint was furnished by the business houses of the city.
A now score board Is nearly completed which will bo set up for use at the new athletic field for the first game with Friends Sept. 26. The board tells the quarter of the game, time left to play, the number of the down, score of each team, yards to go, and the penalties. A series of advertisements of business houses of the city will be placed around the outer edge of the board.
It seems that the squad of ’35 has fallen down to 28 men. But eleven good men are all that are required to make a team.
Although the team does not look as strong as it has for the last two years, the gate is closed for any foreign team to take the conference championship away from us.
The loss of several of last year's stars is going to be hard on the squad, which means that the Bull-dogs are going to have to work hard to hold that championship.
If two ends and two tackles come out of the wilderness this next week. M. C. can be assured of a fair football team.
Our new athletic field is very near completion. The bleachers have been completed and have received part of a coat of paint. A bed of grass completely covers the field. The fence has been stretched and all that remains to be done is the installing of the lights.
Only one more week! The first game of the season is September 26, with Friends U. of Wichita. Let's help the team out and have every M. C. student at the game.
It sure would be perfect not to lose any games on our new field.

Wed., Sept. 19., no it’s 18. Had my lessons swell today. Man. its fun to go to class when you can an-swer cvcy question. But I'm sure glad Doc didn't ask mo that one about what HOH is. I would’ve said hydrogen hydroxide, but it’s Just plane water. I’ll know it next time. After supper tonight we all got out on the steps of Arnholz Halt (girls dorm) and yelled and sang. Joe E. and Jessie are kinda snappy, but they did get mixed up oncet. Tomorrow we’re gonna yell In the chapel. That'll seem so much different than Just sitting there and listening to some Prof preach. I got Invited to join the Booster club tonight. It ain’t quite a sorority, but it costs a lot. Anyway they all'vc got the old Bulldog spirit.
Earth produces nothing worse than an ungrateful man.—Ausonius.
It is the peculiar quality of a fool to perceive the faults of others, and to forget his own.
The greatest of faults, I should say, Is to bo conscious of none.
