A few of them will speak from the platform. Most of them will lead seminars. All of them will keep hours free for personal conference. ”

THESPIAN PLAY SELECTION WILL TAKE PLACE SOON

Presentation Will Be First Semester to Avoid Difficulties Encountered Last Year

Plans for the selection of a Thespian Club play were begun Monday at the first regular meeting of the organization since the new members were initiated.

Because of the many difficulties encountered last year when the Thespian play, “Death Takes a Holiday, ” was staged during the last week of school, the club members have decided to give their play sometime during the first semester. Several one-act plays will be staged later.

In order that every club member may have a part in the selection of a play, each one is to read a number of three-act plays and make a report on the one which he considers a good one for the Thespians to produce. After all the reports have been made the club will make a final selection of the one which seems to offer the most possibilities.

Miss Lehman gave a report on the club's policy of making some contribution to the dramatic equipment of the college each year. She suggested that the funds remaining from last year be used for supplying some necessary stage improvements.

Students watch the new books that come into the college library, but forget that there are new books in the downtown library. Valuable material to supplement that found on the shelves of the college library is available to students through the city library.

They are: Garrison, “The March of Faith, ” (deals with religion in the United States since 1864); Oesterly and Robinson. "Introduction to the Books of the Old Testament"; Swift, "Religion Today, A Challenging Enigma”; Dolman, “Sacred Sights and Way”; Inge. "God and the Astronomers"; Meland, "Modern Man's Worship. "

should possess, the main one being an intense interest in journalism. He also told what the vocation offers and how one cun become a journalist.

Michael stated that wages in Journalism are not as high as in many other fields, but the satisfaction an interested person gains through his work was better than high pay. He said there are three ways to become a journalist—first, by study of journalism in school, second, by apprenticeship, and third, by a combination of the two. This last is the best, Michael said

Keep Yourself Posted

In LIEU of a daily newspaper the bulletin board forms the only means of conveying important announcements to the student body. Despite this fact many students pay little or no attention to the Items posted on the board. The Spectator makes a special appeal to all students to form the habit or reading the bulletin board regularly. This forms excellent form of contact between faculty and student body, between organizations and students, and between the students themselves. It would save much time and trouble If all collegians rend the board Instead of wondering why they did not hear of something which occurred or was to take place.

FROM an academic standpoint, it is generally recognized that there are two chief purposes in a college education: first, the acquisition of a store of valuable and fundamental information, and second, the development of habits of research, study, speaking, and writing to discover and utilize this information. It is often contended that the growth of habit is of more importance than the collection of knowledge.

In consideration of this purpose, it is little short of tragic to view the enormous loss of time experienced by college students. Such a loss reacts unfavorably both negatively and positively; not only does it result in the stagnation of mind and failure to gain an adequate background, but it prevents the proper development of regular and desirable habits of work and study.

Mrs. Morgan emphasized the fact that habits acquired in college carry over into later life and are extremely hard to change or eradicate. Although the average freshman student is quite subject to change and influence, his senior days find him well hardened against growth of new habits. This fact should lead one to consider seriously the damaging effect of shoddy college work caused by lack of adequate time and preparation. No amount of justification and rationalization can refute the damaging evidence of a shiftless future.

Furthermore, college offers certain opportunities which may never come to a student in later life. The college student may spend hours every day in library and classroom, getting a basic background in the arts and sciences, acquiring an un-derstanding of literature and his-tory, and exploring the greatest minds of the ages. Instead of this, the common undergraduate practice is spend most of the waking hours in anything which will prevent the "boresome" task of study. Ping-pong, bull sessions, going to town, chatting hither and yon, and many other similar occupations can be and are used to avoid getting the next day's lessons. A little journey back into the recollection of most students will corroborate this statement.

Here, then, is the tragic situation. By the simple process of wasting time we are defeating the very purpose of college education. If more students realized this fact, and appreciated the opportunities which open to them within college walls, perhaps the level of scholarship would be raised. —K. W.

Because of widespread criticism of the social committees on the campus the last few years, a concerted effort is being made this year by the social committees of the Y. M. and Y. W. to provide adequate social opportunities for the student body. The old style social or party with a formal program is definitely out; instead of that entirely original stunt programs are planned.

Three such entertainments have already been enjoyed. On two successive week-ends taffy pulls were held, and a week ago Sunday fifty students went on a hike and picnic supper. The taffy pulls are typical of the small interest group parties to be held every week-end when possible. They consist of candy-making of corn-popping, spontaneous games, and group singing.

Instead of going to the outmoded Y. W. room the groups divide up into small parties and go to private homes. Members of the faculty and others interested in the college have been most generous in opening their homes to the students for these small interest parties. It is intended that the small interest groups not exceed more than twelve or fourteen.

All students, regardless of rank or residence, are invited to attend these socials. Announcement will be made a day or two ahead of time on the bulletin board, and students will be given there an opportunity to sign up for the evening. A charge of five cents a person is made to cover the expenses of the evening.

It is requested by the social committees that those students who desire to attend week end socials give notice before-hand in order to facilitate the plans of the committee. Cooperation of the student body should result in a new deal for the social life of McPherson College.

New York. —Creation of "ultraviolet air” which is completely free of contaminating bacteria was described this week in the current issue of Science, official publication of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Tests conducted at Harvard University by Doctors William Firth Wells and Gordon Maskew Fair make it apparent, they report, "that ultraviolet light has a destructive power for bacteria of a higher order of magnitude in air than in liquids or other environments not highly transparent to ultra violet radiations. "

The Harvard scientists filled a room of about 2, 000 cubic feet capacity with colon bacteria by spraying with an atomizer. Samples of air were then withdrawn from the room and the number of bacilli determined in ten cubic feet of air. A 500-watt quartz mercenary-vapor electric lamp served as the source of ultra-violet light.

When sprayed in a darkened room, 5, 200 bacteria were found floating in the ten cubic feet air sample one minute after the spray ing. But when the ultra-violet lamp was turned on not one single bacterium was found in a similar air sample.

Four sets of tests were made, and in each case the results were the same. Whenever the ultra-violet rays were turned on the bacteria were almost instantly destroyed.

The experiments promise to have an important bearing in the air-conditioning of rooms in the near future, particularly in hospitals and in environments where bacteria are more likely to be most dangerous, such as in operating rooms, in hospitals, and sanitoriums for the tubercular and sufferers from other bacterial diseases. It may also prove highly useful in combating the spread of disease during epidemics.

PARENTS’ DAY BRINGS MANY VISITORS TO M. C.

If you would happen to look at that cold gray building to the north of our campus, which has been known in past years as the Alumni Gymnasium, at about six-thirty o'clock every other night you would he aware of bright lights streaming out of the windows. Now the purpose of this article is to explain that very situation. Of course you have heard of that fair-maiden organization called by some the "W. A. A. A. A. A. " Well this better-half club practices volyboll (volley ball to some of you) on the floor of that honored old gym which by the way, we heard in chapel, was to be dedicated; well it is about time, at that!

Biff! Bang! Smack! "Darn it, anyhow. I’m always missing that hall! "Oh my gosh, it went in the balcony again! " "Get under it! " There are some of the typical expressions heard all the time during one of these said practices. Now the illustration of the typical player would be somewhat a more difficult task, but here goes. No, wait a minute, some one has been knocked out, it must be her uncle, now she's up with the whole team on her back, "Hurrah! for our side. " We are told that the winning team has won every game so far as it seems that fate and every crazy brace and dislocated rafter in the building has aided them. Also we are told that this team possesses some very tough players with plenty of "I can take it. "

Now for this typical player. I ex-pect you had better come to see for yourself. But, for the non-typical in-dividual player, we have as much competition as usual. There is reducing Shirk, toughy Wine, giant Barngrover, petite Goughnour sis-ters, sweety Brubecky, singing Zimmerman, timid Hubbard, fair Har-bough, and some "57" other varieties.

Of course the brand of ball played is in an exceptionally good class: in fact the method employed Is a true art. For Instance, imagine any other volyboll group beating them at their own game with a soft ball, a fishing net, and around twenty saps all yelling and screaming their wares at one time.

Baker University and McPherson College played a scoreless tie last night before 2, 500 spectators with Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas looking on from the new stadium. The game was the feature event of "parents’ day" at the college and many alumni members and parents of students were on hand for the dedication program and game.

Neither Baker or McPherson seriously threatened to score, however both teams had breaks that gained them territory but were not sufficient to give them touchdowns. The lines on the two teams managed to hold each other on even terms and McPherson's backfield was held from "running wild" by nearly as fast a Baker backfield quartet.

The summary of the game reveals that the two teams wore evenly matched. McPherson had a nine yard advantage over Baker at gains at scrimmage while Baker held a two first down lead over the Bulldogs. McPherson outpunted the Wildcats, and the Bulldogs averaged more yards of gain at passes than the visitors. McPherson intercepted one Baker pass for 30 yards gain and Baker picked two McPherson passes out of the air for a total gain of ten yards.

Baker's most threatening move to score came in the third quarter when a 30 yard pass was completed, placing the ball on the 16 yard line. On

hardest of the season, however Kansas Wesleyan and Bethany college have to bo played yet and both of them are always tough customers for the local team.

Following is the starting lineup and summary of the game:

McPherson Pos. Baker

but they boast a fast, tricky backfield. The sophomores are laying their hopes for victory on a heavy line and a smooth-working backfield. Their passing attack may be one of the main features of the game.

Last year the freshman-sophomoregame ended in a 0-0 tie, but this year both teams are expected to score.

Come out to the football field at 3: 30 on Friday afternoon and see whether or not the freshmen can make good their threats and whether or not the sophomores are really us good as they say they are.

Wed. 23. No letter from Henrietta yet. She must know alright what I did Fri. night. Shucks, maby I ought to of been true to her. I dont care much weather we beet the sofo-moros or not this football is making me so stif I cant git up and down the steps.

the next play the Baker team gained only three yeards. A one yard gain was made on the next play but the ball shifted to the middle of the field in direct line with the goal posts. On the next play Baker attempted to kick at placement but Haun, wiry McPherson halfback, broke through the defense and blocked the kick, therefore warding off an attempt to score on the part of Baker.

Again in the last quarter Baker made an attempt to score by working the bull to McPherson’s 20 yard line on spinner plays and line plung-es. On the next play with but a few feet to go for a first down Baker passed and the receiver caught the ball. But with a Bulldog tackler boaring down on him the receiver attempted to make a lateral pass to a follow player but the pass was not lateral but forward and the play was called illegal. The receiver of the attempted lateral failed to catch the ball. The ball was brought back and McPherson had it for a first down.

Playing good football all the time, the Bulldogs made several threats to score, once when Haun intercepted a Baker pass and nearly broke loose for a long run. He did gain 30 yards on the pass, however, but stumbled and was downed by Baker on the 20 yard line. On the next two plays McPherson made two yards, the Wildcat wall. tightening up and holding the Bulldog rushes. Haun attempted to kick a goal but his attempt was blocked by a desperate Baker team. On the blocked kick a Baker player picked up the ball and broke away for a long run before being downed by McPherson.

McPherson opened the game with consistent gains against the visitors. Zuhars on the second play after McPherson gained possession of the ball after the kickoff, ran 17 yards for a first down. The Canines plowed ahead and the Baker line was unable to hold off the determined McPhorson team. The Bulldogs advanced to Baker's 25 yard line with a first down. Baker saw the danger of a McPherson score and tightened up and the Bulldogs were held.

In the first half the two teams were unable to make much headway after McPherson’s many gains early in the game. McPherson’s line showed added strength and indicated it could hold Baker when the occasion called for an effective defense.

Holman, fast backfield man for Baker, was the star for the visiting team. He gained many times on spinner plays and end runs but the Bulldogs kept him covered most of the time and he was held from getting away on any broken field runs.

McPherson’s team as a whole played good ball, as did the Baker

ANNUAL GRUDGE BATTLE

TO BE PLAYED FRIDAY

Freshmen Clash with Sophomores to Determine Whether or Not Green Cap Remain

The annual freshman-sophomore football game which was scheduled for Thursday afternoon has been postponed until Friday afternoon. Each team is confident that it will be able to send the other down to defeat and interest in the struggle runs high among both lower and upper classes.

If the freshmen should win. they will earn for themselves, the right to discard their green caps and at the same time will have something to which they can point with pride for many weeks. If the sophomores emerge victorious they will have the satisfaction of seeing the freshmen compelled to wear their caps until Thanksgiving, and of demonstrating one more mark of their superiority over the freshies.

The freshmen have a light team

Friday, eighteen. Football game this P. M. Shucks we oughta beet them guys only they shur knew how to play football. The Governer was here and I thought he was gonna make a speach, but he didnt even sound as important as the pres.
