Uniforms of Crimson Red and Trimmed in White Present Colorful Appearance
S. C. M. Sponsors "Chance Party"
On Saturday evening, November 21, the personal relation commission of the S. C. M. sponsored a "chance" party in the student union room. Dates for the evening were chosen at random.
After an evening's entertainment of games and stunts refreshments were served to fifty-one.
Program To Be Given At Beginning
Of Second Semester
For the first time in the history of McPherson College, a well-organ-ized band under the direction of Floyd Harris will appear in new full-dress band uniforms at the pep parade this afternoon and rally in the evening.
The uniforms are of crimson red and trimmed in white waistbands and shoulder straps. A white lyre with a red letter "M” bears the in-signa of the organization. These colorful Jackets with white duck trousers present a distinctive and colorful uniform.
This afternoon Director Harris’ College band will lead a Main street parade followed by an aggregation of pep club members, students, and other local Bulldog supporters. In the evening the band will appear again as the initial feature of the program of the pep rally.
Members of this organisation have spent many hours of arduous work and sacrifice in order that a band of high caliber could be realised. At present plans and preparations are being made to give a classical program to be presented in the sec-ond semester for the approval of the public.
This band has added an outstanding musical organization to McPherson College. Basing upon the great progress of this band, McPherson College can look forward to a larger and greater McPherson College band, that is destined through the coop-eration of students of musical abili-
ty, to rival any college band within the class of McPherson College.
In this twenty-piece band there are four cornets, three horns, two baritones, and two trombones. Six members play saxophones, only one plays a clarinet, and there are two drummers.
Floyd Harris, Winton Sheffer, Charles Pray, and Viola Harris toot the cornets; Alvin Goering, Harold Mohler and Stephen Stover play the horns; the baritones are played by Tony Voshell and Richard Horn; and Dale Coppock and Raymond Flory manage the trombones. Max Wilber, Harold Schubert, Joelle Letkeman, John Schmidt, Julia Frick and Phil Davis each play saxophones; Doris Pray is the only clarinetist; Francis Campbell plays the snare drum's Otho Clark beats the bass drum.
National Student Association
Adopts List of Privileges
Park Beck, president of the Student Council of Columbia Teachers College, submitted a recent report which had been drawn up by the Committee on Student’s Rights. This report was adopted by the Cabinet and Executive Committee of the National Student Association.
The committee was convinced that rights are not inherent in the na-ture of things, but are acquired through the struggle of those who feel the need for such rights. Certain rights for which students may advantageously struggle at the present time are
(1) The right of students to disagree with their teachers concerning the conclusions to be drawn from such evidence as is presented by teachers in class, without suffering any penalty for such disagreement;
(2) the right of students to present such evidence as they may care to present in class with a similar measure of impunity;
(3 ) the right of students to participate freely in class discussions;
(4) the right of students to voice in the determination of the curriculum;
(5) the right of students to representation at faculty meetings at which interests of students in general are under consideration:
(C) the right of students to a hearing before the administration;
(7) the right of students to discuss the institution and its personnel without penalty;
(8) the right of a student to be tried by a jury of fellow students, in case of disciplinary charges by the faculty or administration;
(9) the right of students to organize and to petition;
(10) the right of students, as in-dividuals, to associate themselves with minority or other groups:
(11) the right of students who are of legal ago to live their lives
Six Artists from Chicago Civic Symphony to Present Concert
Le Petit Ensemble, six distinctive artists of the Chicago Civic Symphony, will present the fourth number of the lyceum course on the evening of December 1.
Both magnificent ensemble and outstanding solo work are obtained by this group. Each member of the company is an artist in his own right as well as with the group. They have studied with such artists as Henri Hayza, Ramon Girvin, Elinor Swanson, Dr. Sigfrid Grager and Georges Szpinalski.
A popular feature of the programs of the Petite Ensemble is the String Quartette, consisting of two violins, viola and cello. A group of numbers especially written or arranged for this combination of in-struments delights with the beauty of the full string harmonies.
The repertoire of the ensemble is most comprehensive, including classical and semi-classical compositions as well as music of a lighter vein.
The outstanding artist to appear on the Le Petite Ensemble program is Father Arneson, pianist. She studied at the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago, during which period she won several scholarships. At the age of 18, Miss Anderson recieved the degree, Bachelor of Music. She was winner of the commencement contest of the American Conservatory playing a Liszt concerto at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Her debut, in 1928, was under the management of Jess B. Hall in the Young American artist series. In the program she will present solo numbers from the old masters.
This Ensemble was organized by Signe Elquist four years ago and it has appeared with marked success in concerts and musicals throughout Chicago. This is the first time the company has been made available this far west.
Meditation Aided by Quiet Music
Meditative and inspirational music was presented by Lorene Voshell, soloist; Mrs. Helen Holloway, organist; and Professor Fisher, pian-ist; at the mid-week vesper service which was held last Thursday evening at 7 o'clock in the College church.
Plan to attend the vespers this week on Thursday evening at 6:45 in the College church.

Explains Life and Customs of Balala Tribe in Rhodesia
Karl von Hoffman, scientist, explorer, research worker, and lecturer, presented the third in the series of lyceum numbers at the McPherson community building on Thurs-day evening, November 19.
Mr. von Hoffman is a research worker for the Field Museum in Chicago. Every year, during our summer, he goes on an exploration trip in the interests of that institution. His work takes him into practically every part of the globe.
Mr. von Hoffman’s lecture here was about Africa, more specifically, Rhodesia. He related interesting experiences of his eighteen years spent with the Jungle natives of that region. His entire speech glowed with thrilling tales of jungle beasts there. He showed the pictures filmed of the negroes, which depict in detail the life of a man from birth to death. He explained some of the strange customs observed by the Balala tribe. These pictures show the natives as they really live, for Mr. von Hoffman never goes near a mission station; his duty as a research worker as set forth by the Field Museum is to find the people who have never been reached by any form of civilization. "For any small prize," says Mr. von Hoffman, "a native will sing all the hymns he knows; but when a missionary’s back is turned, he will go back to
witchcraft." That is the reason the Museum desires him to avoid missions.
The next lyceum number will be presented on December 1 by a group of musicians who call themselves "Le Petit Ensemble.”
Preaching Mission Closes;
Coppock Delivers Address
The final address of the eight day preaching mission, which was held during the past week at the College church, was delivered by Rev. X. L Coppock Sunday evening at 6: 30 and was followed by the communion and love-feast services.
The preaching mission began last Sunday morning, Nov. 15. Services have been held each evening of the past week with Rev. Xury L. Coppock, pastor of the Brethren church at Rocky Ford, Colo.. as the speaker. Special numbers of music were presented as each service.
A few of the subjects of Rev. Cop-pock’s messages were "The Message
S. C. M. Sponsors Box Social To Be Given Friday, Dec. 4
of the Four Horsemen," "The Mission of the Holy Spirit," and "The Transforming Power of the Cross."
These services were all quite well attended and it is believed that they have done much to renew the spiritual life of the people of this city.
A box social for all college students is being sponsored by the S. C. M. in the Student Union and Y. W. rooms Friday night, Dec. 4, at 8 o'clock.
All students are invited to attend this affair. Each girl is expected to bring a box with food to satisfy the appetites of two. while each boy is expected to bring a pocket full of coins so that he might buy the most beautiful box of the bonniest girl present.
Those who plan to attend are to go dressed as farmer lads and lassies. Charles Wagoner will serve as auctioneer, and will, no doubt, profit from his experiences in this capacity last year.
Additional information as to how boxes are to be prepared or any other questions concerning the social may be obtained from either Vera Heckman or Lola Mae Harbough.
Play Program Brings Large Crowd
CALENDAR FOR THE WEEK
Wednesday. Nov, 28—Parade, 5 p.m. Pep Rally. 8 p. m
Thursday. Nov. 28—Vacation starts. Kansas Wesleyan game, 2:30 pm. Alumni-Student Banquet. 6:30 p. m.
Monday, Nov. 30—Vacation ends.
The play production class of McPherson College presented three one-act plays last Monday evening in the college chapel.
"Too Much Is Enough,” "Suppressed Desires.” and "The Brink of Silence” were given for the approval of a large audience.
"Can a woman Have a Home and Continue Her Career at the Same Time?” was the question discussed by a panel group in the regular S. C. M. meeting on Wednesday morning.
The program was prepared by the Personal and Family Relations commission. Those who composed the panel were Velma Watkins, who act-ed as chairman, Edith Jasper, Margaret Messamer, Glen McGonigle, Oliver Andrews and George Toland.
Points considered by the group were that it would depend very much on the kind of career chosen, for while woman might be able to engage in writing books, in art, or in social work, it would be practically impossible for her to enter the movies or continue her career if it made it necessary for her to leave her home for long periods of time. The problem was discussed from the viewpoint of the husband, the wife, and the children, both in relation to the world as a whole and in their relationships to their parents.
The group reached the conclusion that a woman does not have to be entirely devoted to the home after marriage, but that she could follow certain types of careers, if she so desired. However, it is very necessary that there be a mutuality of feeling between the wife and the husband concerning the continuation of the woman’s career in order to obtain better household harmony.
Coppock Addresses Students In Friday Morning Chapel
Rev, X. L. Coppock of Rocky Ford, Colorado, spoke to the students in chapel Friday morning. Rev. Coppock pastor of the Brethren Church at Rocky Ford, Colo, has been the guest pastor of the preaching mission for the past week.
Rev. Coppock's address was an inquiry whether youth was for the age or if the age was for youth. This was pointed out to be an age of things. Youth who have not used the age are caught in a great wave. Making youth to fit the age was cited as a great cause of youthful criminals. Environment helps to make one slave to the age in which he lives.
He mentioned the ideal age as be-ing one of great opportunities, but not the kind, to which we have been accustomed. "A personality is one who knows and knows that he knows. Personality is what makes you, you and me, me. Personality depends upon philosophy of life. Philosophy de-pends upon whether one is for the age, or if the age is for him.” Coppock stated.
Freshman Class Has Picnic
Today many of the graduates, former students and friends of the College are continually coming for the Homecoming, the first alumni event on the College’s 1936-1937 calendar commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the institution.
For students of the College and other local supporters of the Selves gridmen, preparations for the Thanksgiving Day battle with Wesleyan will begin this afternoon at four-thirty when Floyd Harris' College Pep band will lead a noisy Main Street parade. In order that it will he colorful as well as noisy, a College Pep club committee has made plans to decorate all available cars with streamers of red and white.
Tonight at seven-thirty the Harris band will introduce the evening's program in the college chapel. Students will give several special numbers— tap and ballet dancing, trio numbers, and vocal solos. Brief statements will be heard from Coach Lester Selves, assistant Johnson, and the Co-captains Vasquez and Haun. Paul Sargent, an ex-McPherson grid star will represent the alumni while Mr. August San Romani, director of the local high school band represents the town McPherson. Finally the program will find its climax when Miss Vera Heckman receives the crown of local football queenship from the hands of Clayton Rock, veteran Bulldog center and the president of the Student Council. Honored with the queen will be her attendants, Miss Margaret Fry und Miss Gladys Shank.
After the program the faculty social committee will serve cookies and coffee in the Student Union Room.
'Thursday the Bulldogs will meet the Coyotes in a decisive gridiron clash. Mr. San Romani and his McPherson high school band are going to be guests of the College at the game and play at the introduction of the Football Queen prior to the kickoff and again between the halves.
Following the game a banquet in the College dining hall will conclude the Homecoming activities. After the presidential welcome by Dr. V. F. Schwalm, a number of former football stars and other graduates representing various alumni centers will be introduced. Assistant Guy H. Hays of Ellsworth High School, all conference guard during his days at McPherson, will be the main after dinner speaker. The College male quartet will render several selections during the course of the banquet.

Discuss Restaurant Etiquette At Women’s Council Meeting
The Women’s Council held another meeting last night for the freshman girls. The topic used was restaurant etiquette. Emma Schmidt led the discussion, and members of the council acted out the correct form.
Last Friday night the Freshman class went to Coronado Heights for a weiner roast.
About thirty of the students left from the campus in private cars at three o’clock. The Heights proved to be a very nice picnic ground. While the boys played base ball, the girls explored the rocky paths and prepared the food. With the darkness came cold north winds. Everyone, having had a good time, was ready to come back and get ready for open house nt Arnold Hall.

Spinoza, the noted Dutch philosopher and maker of lenses, at one time said, "The state is not bound by moral law. " The implication in this case is that only individual beings are bound by moral law.
In order to clarify this statement let us take a practical example. If a state is not bound by any moral law it has a perfect right to declare war and direct its citizens to kill those of another country. In order to carry this idea to its logical conclusion let us say that the state is perfectly justified in this case. Because it has this right the state can make its citizens kill and plunder for its own sake.
From the standpoint of the Individual, however, the question is not so simple. In order for him to follow the dictates of the state he must merge his identity with it. To the same extent that he does this he is setting aside his personal morals. What was formerly outside the bounds of decency and moral law is now justified: the individual no longer is held accountable for his actions as long as he does the bidding of his superiors. Can an indi
vidual who has thus set aside moral restraints re-enter private life in a normal way? History shows that he cannot. Not only are the morals of an individual affected in this way but the morals of the group are likewise affected. The spread of crime and the laxity in morals since 1920 can be traced directly to the World War.
Thus one cannot agree with Spinoza that a state is not bound by moral law. For if it acts without restraint the individual citizen will be forced to set aside his moral convictions. It is therefore obvious that either state and individual are both bound by moral law or they both are not; moral law cannot apply to only one.
Let us carry the argument a step further. If a state is not bound by a law that binds the individual then God must operate through two different sets of laws. However, all evidence testifies to the contrary. If there is one God there can he only one set of laws or processes through which he works. Thus one cannot agree with Spinoza for a state as well as an individual must take the consequences when it oversteps a moral law.
I once had a high school teacher who had a novel idea of how to cure the depression. Give every man and woman in America a college education, he contended; in this way all interests and demands will be widened. People will then demand good clothes, good books to read, a radio to enable them to listen to good music. etc. In this way the market will be enlarged, consumption increased and the wheels of industry made to turn. Regardless of the validity of this argument there is an element of truth in it, for college does change a person. It certainly has made a difference in my life.
I do not belong to the Church of the Brethren, therefore I have, first of all, been able to see religion from a somewhat different viewpoint. This religious influence, together with the intellectual atmosphere on the campus has widened my horizons and made me more open minded. My parents, like so many others wanted their first born son to become a minister. Because of their determination I set my mind against the ministry as a life’s work. Ministers aren’t ordinary people anyway, I said. They are just a little different—that’s why they are ministers. With this mind set I
was surprised to find out when I came to college that some of the finest, capable young men on the campus were studying to go into the ministry. As I learned to know some of these fellows better I came to real-ize that the ministry is a calling that offers real opportunity for service and challenges the best there is in a person.
Someone has said that college prolongs the period of adolescence. Be that as it may, college does enable a person to become better equipped for later life. Many of my former high school chums have for several years had steady jobs, but their period of training was terminated abruptly when they graduated from high school. A college environment, by prolonging the period of adolescence, enables one, eventually to become a more mature. Because of this, it helps a person in developing a technique in getting-along with people. During my three years and two months of college I have been thrown into con-tact with people who disagree with my beliefs and methods. In an environment that encourages openmindedness and discussion I have learned how to work with these people—-Willard Flaming.
To be well bred is not a matter of innate capacity, of heredity, of class. Rather it is a result of long and arduous practice in the niceties of life, grounded in a thoro knowledge of the rules by which society governs its members, and undertaken with a zealous interest and desire to fit into society's gear as a well polished cog rather than to stand out as a most incongruous lug.
One of the functions of a college dining ball Is to provide sufficient gastronomic fuel for the preservation of life and limb. Another function, equally important, tho often neglected, is the training of its members in the amenities of the dinner table. McPherson College would be failing signally in its attempt to develop individuals if it did not offer opportunities for training in the social graces.
This training requires three things: a manual of just what is and what isn’t being done, an opportunity to put the manual into use; and good example. The dining hall is the laboratory, and many of the diners are sufficiently well versed in attractive manners to serve as model guides. The third requisite is available in a multitude of good hooks in the library, but since these are so often slighted, a series of short articles in the Spec are proposed to expose some of the more glaring faults witnessed in our own dining hall, and suggest remedies in an impersonal manner. This is the first of such a series.
Perhaps no one would suspect college students of being guilty of some of the following malpractices —however, they all actually do exist in the college dining hall, and are observed every day.
1. Ordinarily it is assumed that a fork and spoon are the only eating utensils which ever touch the lips. Imagine, then, the chagrin which comes to a cultured individual when he or she perceives his neighbor blandly licking the full length or his KNIFE after spreading a piece of bread..
2. That immediately suggests another point. Good taste dictates that one butter and eat only small pieces of bread at a time. Good taste then, is flagrantly violated when someone calmly rips whole slices of bread into two pieces, grasps one piece firmly by the corner with thumb and forefinger, and proceeds to spread the entire surface with a fine thick covering of butter, devouring the same in large mouthfuls. Of course, one must consider
I’m wondering how many equations Dr. Hershey had to equalize before be came to the astounding result: I am driving the family car, therefore, Ardys isn’t.
The serenade of our warbling mid-nighters in Fahnestock was unique in the hollow-sounding benediction pronounced by Vernon Michael; "Peace be unto you... "
Don’t worry, Weaver, I’m suppressing those puns now that Dr. Schwalm and Mr. Davis have returned.
If the roast chicken at our Thanksgiving banquet is a bit prickly, we’ll just blame the foods-laboratory girls who did approach the pinfeathers of the birds rather gingerly.
York and Miller started Monday night to get their pulses quickened for the coming fray. Here’s hoping
they take the Coyotes off their feet too.
Miss Sheets' unfeigned manner is one of the rarest jewels on this campus.
The plays were revealing bits of drama: by giving Keedy an excuse for being herself: by displaying the attractiveness of Evelyn Dell, by putting George’s heroism in an expressive setting; and by drawing attention to June’s eyes by footlight emphasis.
One petition I’m going to sneak in with my prayers of Thanksgiving— "Please don’t let me feel as gloomy as I did last year when I was sitting on the dorm steps and Dr. Smith in-formed us homesick, dorm-condemned gals that we would have rules concerning late hours.”
the waste of energy involved if one takes the trouble to break that immense slice of bread into smaller pieces!
3. During the course of a meal one’s fingers are apt to become more or less coated with minute bits of grease, food, etc., especially if one is careless. Then, if one passes another’s glass while grasping it gently around the lip with all five finger tips, it is apt to leave a beautiful set of finger prints which would delight the heart of almost any good police station. The experience of drinking from a glass after the lip has been gently fondled by others in passing is about as pleasant as using your next door neighbor’s tooth brush!
4. One of the first things children are usually taught in the way of manners is the use of "please" and "thank you" in asking for food to be passed, etc. That this primary lesson in courtesy has not been learned by some boorish individuals is amply witnessed every day in the dining hall.
5. Again, a few people in college are afflicted with weak backs and necks. In order to protect these backs and necks it is found necessary by such people to support themselves while eating by resting the left forearm on the table. Altho this greatly discomforts the neigh
bor on the left, it is decidedly convenient for the personage In ques-tion, for he is thus enabled to lean far forward into his plate, bracing himself for the ordeal of shoveling in the victuals. This is accomplished by a rapid fire automatic process which requires only a monotonously quick flip of the wrist and down goes the food. It goes without saying that such swift consumption requires a preliminary heaping of the plate with a-fore mention victuals. In order that the voracious glutton need not get ahead of his neighbors in point of time!
So, this could draw on indefinitely, but more will come next week.
A closing thought might be to the effect that good manners dictate that pickles and cheese are known as finger foods and are bandied entirely with the fingers. NOT the fork.

C. for First Place in Kansas
Conference.
Tomorrow afternoon the McPherson College Bulldogs clash with the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes to de-termine the championship of the Kansas Conference. A victory for the Bulldogs means a tie with Wesleyan for the title, but a loss will mean that McPherson slips to third place below Bethany.
Coach Mackie's Coyotes have had an outstanding record of victories this year. Their only loss came from the strong Texas college two weeks ago. In eight games they have scored 162 points against 49 for their opponents.
Wesleyan has one of the strongest power houses it has had for several years. The Bulldog line will be outweighed 13 pounds to the man, the averages being 186 and 175 pounds. The coyotes' back-field will also outweigh the Canines 167 to 160.
The Bulldogs will have lots to fight for in the games. With two regulars on the side-lines because of injuries, those in the game will have to play harder to make up for their losses. This year McPherson has the chance to finish with the highest rating since 1923, when the Canines won the undisputed title. And remember this—no member of the Bulldog squad has ever lost a football game to Kansas Wesleyan. In 1933 and 1934, McPherson won by scores of 6 to 0 and 7 to 6. Last year, the game ended in a scoreless tie.
The coach and team as a whole are determined to turn back the horde of Coyotes who will invade the Bulldog territory for the Turkey Day game. Despite a few adverse circumstances, Coach Selves is going ahead, determined to present a team McPherson will be proud of, and a team that will put up the best fight it has to tie for the Conference championship.

Sport Skits
Delbert Crabbe and Martin Seidel, quarterback and guard, are two Bulldog regulars who will be watch-ing the game from the side lines. Both players were severely injured in the Kearney game two weeks ago. Quarterback
Coach "Bud" Selves, in his first year as head coach of the Bulldogs, has produced a team of championship calibre. His magnetic personality has entirely won over not only his charges, but the entire student body as well. "Bud" is a former College of Emporia star and has been assistant football coach at McPherson for three years prior to his appointment as head coach.
Crabbe
Crabbe's shoulder was wrenched out of place when several big "bruisers" piled him, due to poor officiating as reported. He is now recovering from an operation, which was necessary to knit the ligaments back in place.

Volley Ball Starts
Alley oop! There goes that ball right up into the balcony. Oh. oh! you knocked all the dirt off the beam that time!
You see, the W. A. A. girls have just started practicing volley ball, and their balls go a little wild. But oven after three practices, volley ball of improvement are noticeable. Captain Keller is often heard commanding her team mates to “play the net," "play your position,’' and "use both hands." Captain Flory yells, "get under the ball," “keep your eye on it.” Under such coaching from these two and a few helpful "hints” from others, these girls will really be hot shot volley ball players.
Regular volley ball practices are on Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 7 o'clock.
Wesleyan has always been a thorn to the Bulldogs in any sport. For the last three years Coyote victories in basketball have knocked McPherson out of the championship race.—And all three games have been lost by one point, scored in the last minute of play.
Coach A. B. Mackie of Kansas Wesleyan has told his players that they will not receive their gold footballs or the annual football banquet unless they win tomorrow. If the crowd and eleven men will dig in and fight for victory until the last whistle, there are going to be some gentlemen missing their banquet and golden footballs.
The Bethany Swedes continued their victory by defeating Baker 14 to 0. Ireland's passes again contributed toward the win. Baker's only threat was halted on the 17 yard line by the final gun.
The Bulldogs will be fighting for either first or third place in the conference Thursday.
Crabbe and Seidel, the two injured players who cannot participate Thursday are slowly improving. Saturday an operation was performed on Crabbe to bind his arm back into the socket. He is slowly regaining his strength.
Coyote Fullback |
 |
Junior Shaw, Coyote halfback, is a fast, aggressive player on the Wesleyan team, rated one of the strongest elevens in the state this year.
Fifteen men are working out regularly for basketball. So far the drill has consisted entirely of working on fundamentals. About fifteen more from the football squad will report next week.
Gene Kemper says that C. of E. still has the most enthusiastic student body in the state. Let’s exhibit a lot of pep tomorrow and show him that McPherson is a strong contender for the honor.
McPherson has won 5 games.— Kansas Wesleyan has won 8 games —Two games have been tied.
