Amateurs’ Hour Tomorrow Night

Fun, Surprises, and a Night of Hilarity Prophesied On First Attempt

Talent To Be Shown

Original Abilities of Students Will Blossom at Program

Did you ever have a "hunch?" Well we have more than a hunch. Its merely this. You will enjoy an evening of pleasant surprises and see your classmates in spectacular informal roles Friday evening at the Amateur Program. Of course, we can’t tell you just what is on the program, but "take a tip." you won’t be disappointed. There will be comedy, music, impersonations, etc. etc.

The audience will be the judge and will choose the winners by applause. Prizes are to be awarded to the three best numbers, and they are prizes well worth your talent. To those who might be bashful or modest in offering their specialties we say you can't afford to pass up this opportunity. Remember, Thursday is the last day to enter.

You will have the opportunity to see the "Major." hear his witty comments, and judge for yourself his discretion in the use of the gong.

It will be an evening of fun and entertainment not offered on the campus before. You'll laugh heartily, applaud rigorously, and maybe boo vociferously should the "Major” forgot to use the gong.

What is suitable for the program. Well, music, both vocal and instrumental, Impersonations, whistling, tricks, stunts and what-have-you. The committee will be glad to hear what you have to offer. Get in touch with it.

So, don’t forget Friday evening at 8:00 o'clock. The small admission charge will be used in the awarding of prizes. Tune in with your presence at the Chapel Studio.

Debators To Hutchinson

McPherson College debators will go to Hutchinson Friday morning to participate in an invitation tournament at the Junior College there. Entrees will be from Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma.

McPherson is sending three teams of men and two teams of women. Phillip Davis and Billy Thompson, Addison West and Marvin Ridell, Stephen Stover and Addison Saathoff make up the men’s teams. Lucile Cole and Inez Goughner, Velma Watkins and Yolanda Clark comprise the women's teams.

The debaters will take part in six rounds of debating. Three of these are conventional and the other three are experimental. This will be McPherson's first performance in experimental debating. The team will stay over in Hutchinson and return Saturday afternoon.

Fisher and Crawford Give Recital Sunday

Present Two Sonatas for Violin and Piano at College Chapel

A musical recital was given Sunday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock at the McPherson college chapel. This was the third faculty presentation of the year. The program was presented by Prof. Loren Crawford, violinist and Prof. Nevin W. Fisher, pianist.

Two complete sonatas were played by Professor Fisher and Professor Crawford. The opening number, the Sonata In A. Minor for violin and piano by Robert Schumann was one of the finest poetic works which this composer has written and is very romantic and fiery in character. The second part of the program, the Greig sontat in F Major was written to portray the experience of a composer's youth. In it is evidence of the influence of the sea, wind and a storm tossed vessel.

The program for this recital was one of high musical level and should appeal to McPherson music lovers. The recital lasted one hour.

The program was as follows: Robert Schumann . . Sontat in A Minor, Opus 105 Mit leidenschaftlichen Ausdruck Allegretto Lebhaft

Edvard Greig . . Sonata In F Major, Opus 8

' Allegrio con brio

Allegretto quasi andantino Allegro molto vivace

Nearly Ten Percent Given Student Aid

Large Number of Students Receiving Aid Through Federal Youth Administration

Nearly ten percent of the young men and women attending colleges and universities in the United States this year are earning a part of their expenses through employment on the Student Aid Program of the National Youth Administration. Aubrey Williams, Executive Director, announced today.

Preliminary figures complied from reports of the state directors for December, which are subject to some slight corrections, showed a total of 124,818 young people enrolled on NYA projects in 1,686 colleges and universities in 48 states and the District of Columbia. Recent esti-mates by the U. S. Office of Education place the total college and university enrollment this year at approximately 1,788,000.

Both the number of students receiving aid and the number of institutions participating in the program this year show increases over com-parable dates for 1935. Whereas in November of that year 109, 001 NYA students were listed in 1,602 colleges and universities, there were, in December 1936, 15,817 more students receiving assistance in 84 more colleges and universities.

Of the total number of students receiving aid. 119,583 are undergraduates and 5,235 are graduates. Out of the total of 1,686 participating institutions, 200 are colleges or universities offering master's, doctors, or professional degrees.

Total monthly allocations for college and graduate aid in December were $1,896,143. according to the state directors reports. This was divided $1,770,633 for undergraduate aid and $98, 610 graduate aid, as compared with $1,559,645 and $79,-300 respectively, a year ago November.

Mr. Williams pointed out that the 1,686 institutions of higher learning which has instituted student aid programs this year represent about 98 per cent of all institutions in the county which are eligible for such aid. Eligibility requirements are that the college or university shall be non-profitmaking and tax exempt, which embraces practically all degreegranting schools In the country.

"Such splendid cooperation on the part of the nation's educators.” Mr. Williams added. "Is one of the most encouraging aspects of the program.

It is no secret that the National Youth Administration was regarded with skepticism by some educators when it was established in the sum-mer of 1935. Fears were expressed that it was an ‘opening wedge’ toward ultimate Federal control of the educational system.

Such fears have been allayed completely as the program has de-

veloped. The NYA has not interfered in any way whatever with matters of curricula or administration, and the actual working of the program in each institution has been left almost entirely in the hands of the institution’s own authorities.

The fact that approximately 98 per cent of the accredited colleges and universities in the country have adopted this program as a means of assistance to students of limited means. Is adequate testimony of its value."

Fellows Have A Sample!

Say! you fellows who want sample the girl friend's biscuits and muffins might drop by the foods lab this afternoon, if SHE is taking foods.

And all you boys who wonder whether you're getting enough to eat these days might ask the girls in the nutrition and dietetics class to check up on those calories for you: that is, provided you'll tell them how many teaspoons of butter you eat, how many glasses of milk you drink, and all such similar information. By the way, water doesn’t have calories, so you can drink all you want without fear of getting too much protein, fat or carbohydrates.

Many Students To Manhattan

S. C. M. Regional Conference To Be Held February 4, 5, and 6 at Kansas State

Deal With Problems

Student Group To Study Economics Outlook and Difficulties

The Student Christian Movement Regional Economic Conference will be held at Manhattan, Kansas February 5, 6 and 7. The conference plans to deal specifically with farm and agricultural problems which are typical of the Middle West.

This is the chief S. C. M. conference of the Region and a high quality of leadership has been secured. Dr. O. E. Baker, Senior Agricultural Economist in charge of the Population Studies of U. S. Department of Agriculture, will be one of the outstanding speakers of the conference.

On Friday he will speak on the subject of "The Outlook for Rural Youth," on Saturday "Commercial Agriculture and the Concentration of Farm Ownership In the Cities," and "The Population Prospects and Some Agriculture implications.’’ Dr. W. E. Grimes, head of the Economics Department of Kansas State College will also be a guest speaker.

The following problems will no doubt be considered in the conference: the possibility of a peasant farm class, cooperatives in regard to the farmer, agriculture legislature, the farmer’s stake in the world peace program, and the cultural and social life of the farmer. These are all important to the wideawake college student of economics and sociology who cannot afford to be ignorant of the implications of rural life in present conditions.

Further information on the con-ference and transportation facilities can be had from Willard Flaming or Wanda Hoover.

Bumpety Bump!

Down With a Thump!

Bumpety, bump, bump. And then a slide across the widest sidewalk on the campus. Yes, sir, Mike does it every time..To see him go down those dormitory steps up-side-down is a scream. That's just like Mike because he always wants to be different. And different he was! Now Lucile and Ira Milton run a close second, but we always feel more or less sorry when two people of their calibre fall that hard, it sometimes leaves bad results.

And these people that window peek! You surely heard about a couple of them the past Saturday night. First there came the Idea to peer in the window of the student union room. Then light and cautious steps headed the peepers up the slanting ice. No sooner had they arrived at their destination than

oops! Frys and Mohlers came down. What a spill! Don’t you crack a smile. But how can we help it when into the student union room tumbled two injured spectators. Bumped beads with swollen marks as large as eggs do tell, you know. My warning is this: Better luck next time (only you’d better wait until this ice has disappeared.)

Senior Class Play Is Chosen

Members of the senior class have chosen as their class play, “The Taming of the Shrew."

A class meeting was held Thursday after pep chapel. Several different possible plays were received by Paul Miller and after much dis-cussion and deep thought the class finally agreed (believe it or not) upon the Shakespearian play.

"The Taming of the Shrew" is one of Shakespeare's most humorous comedies. Even though it was written many years ago it is still modern and you won't stop laughing for a week.

Look for further notices about "The Taming of the Shrew."

Gordon Yoder Copy Readers    Ellen Divine, Eldora Van Dermark Business Manager    - -...........Vernon D. Michael Assistant Business Manager ..................Russell Kingsley

A principle that we have had with us for years yet have never made use of is that of genuine cooperation. We Americans, sons and daughters of pioneers, believe too much in the strength of our own individual capacities to pool our efforts in a common venture. The last several years have taught us, however, that as individuals we can do little to cope with the powerful social, economic, and political forces shaping our lives. Consequently we have turned, as never before, to the method of working together, of cooperation. This movement has been accentuated by the visit of Toyohilo Ka-gawa and by the realization, which has been growing since 1929, that our chaotic economic conditions make such a venture-expedient.

In many areas of our life a power is in control with demands only our consent. This is power over others. Its manifestations are quite obvious, especially in Europe where one man rule is the order of the day. In direct contrast, the philosophy of cooperation says that the only lasting, motivating power is power with It is based not upon consent but upon cooperation. It operates upon the assumption that a number of people working together can solve their problems better than any one of them individually. Not even the consent of the rest of the group is enough for the contributions of each member are also necessary. It is this combined effort that is power with; it is by the use of this combined effort that integration can take place.

Logically this is the only way to settle any problem permanently.

History shows that any settlement that is dictated by one party and grudgingly accepted by the other cannot last. Neither dominance nor submission will settle controversies. It is only by working with others, it is only by utilizing the contributions of each party involved that an enduring, lasting settlement can be made. Thus by the process of integration the seemingly unsalable difficulties are changed into parts that compose the whole.

This philosophy does not merely apply to settling difficulties, it is far more than that; it in a way of life. Cooperation should permeate our entire life and reach even the seemingly insignificant every day things of our existence. This is an important factor that many people fail to realize. They admit that in-ternational and sometimes economic problems can be settled by working with others. But here their reasoning stops; they fail to realize that the ordinary situations which confront us daily also demand this same treatment.

By thus cooperating in the ordinary activities of life we can lay a foundation upon which a greater cooperative ventures can be built. It is only when the citizens of one country have built such a foundation that cooperation between nations can be brought about.

Editor's Note: (This is the first of a series of editorials on cooperation. Subsequent editorials will deal with “Cooperatives and the Economic Problem." "Cooperatives, Labor and Collective Bargaining," "Cooperatives and the Church," and “Cooperation for World Peace.”)

Question:    "When entertaining

where does one seat the guest of honor?

Answer: When the guest of honor is a gentleman he is supposed to be seated to the right of the hostess and if the guest of honor is a girl she is seated next to the host.

Question: Does the gentleman seat the girl to his left or right and from which side of the chair is it correct for the girl to be seated?

Answer: The gentleman seats the girl to his right. She sits down from the left side of her chair.

Since many of the girls are more or less formal-dinner minded at present, here are a few suggestions concerning what is proper at a formal dinner.

In the first place the guests at a formal dinner should arrive not more than ten minutes before the hour set for the dinner nor more than five minutes after said hour. The hostess offers her hand to her guests as they arrive. (But remember that when you as a guest go to leave you are supposed to offer your hand to the hostess and tell her you have enjoyed the evening.)

Jewelry unless in keeping with the formal affair is not worn. One might wear a diamond ring or brooch but watches and class rings are definitely poor taste. It is never proper to wear a hat to the table. One does wear gloves to the table at a strictly formal occasion but removes them before beginning the meal.

Girls, 15c will buy you "Good Man-ners for Young Women" by Mary Perin Barker. There is a limited number of books available. Those who are interested should see Dr. Smith.

"Good Manners for Young Women" sets forth in straightforward and thoughtful fashion many of the more common problems of young people in regard to good manners. "It is addressed to the modern young girl and written simply. Such problems as personal appearance, table manners, introductions, invitations, conduct with men and marriage are discussed sanely and wisely."

The best single example of graft within the walls of this institution is the trainer’s table in the dining hall.

Do you know that: Rowena and Glen are so punctual that they leave in the middle of a show on an eleven o'clock night so that they can be at Kline Hall by ten; that the Lindsborg-trekking expeditions were even prepared to remain all night in their cars, lodged in the shadow of an icy hill; that the seating plan in the chapel always undergoes such tragic changes that it should hereafter be determined on a more practical basis; that our star Mathiot is now beaming under the fire-department regime . . . and sometimes at five o'clock in the morning.

It Isn't So Easy

It isn't so easy to put on a smile

When you’re blue—just as blue as can be:

It isn’t so easy to be kind all the while

When Fate seems to turn against

thee.

But if you can smile and be kind through it all.

Though the smile and the kindness be ever so small

You’ll find your reward, my dear friend—you just see.

It isn’t so easy to repay good for ill

To that someone who's done you a wrong;

It isn’t so easy to just bear and keep still

Or go around humming a song

When gossipy tales have been told about you

And you know, oh so well, that they are untrue.

But if you can, my dear friend, if you can, you are strong.

College Organizes Spinsters

Wellesley. Muss.—Wellesley College has two Spinsters’ Clubs, one the “No Rata Datas, with the Bleeding Heart as club flower and "Solitude" as theme song. The other club, the "Forgotten Women" honors the Bachelor Button and the lyric. "All Alone.” Each evening they fervently pray "not for myself, but dear Heaven, please send my sister a brother-in-law."

A program has been handed to the faculty to change the present setup to meet the requirements of the North Central association. These improvements if followed will contribute a great deal toward good feel-ing between the faculty and student body as well as a better organized administration.

1.    Remove from curriculum committee the duties of passing on individual cases. Have the faculty determine the policy and the dean carry it out.

2.    Personnel committee continue personal advisement during year as

was done in 1935-36.

3. Have Health committee take over larger duties, to include, all those recommended by the N. C.. and give that committee and its chair

designed to forestall the poverty of old age, a common economic ail-ment. It is based on the theory that the Federal Government should provide a regular income for work-ers in their old age, through a universal and systematic plan following insurance and actuarial principles, the benefits taking the form of a life annuity.

This phase of the act is administered solely by the Federal Government for certain obvious reasons. Not only do people move from State to State in the course of a lifetime, but the program comprises a complete cycle, the working life of the individual. In certain other phases of the act, such as unemployment cause and effect cover fairly short periods, and the resulting experience gained under different State laws may prove helpful. But where the life earnings of the worker are involved and determine his retirement income, a Nationwide and uniform system is essential.

College Promotes Novel Olympics

Cultural Contest Is Urged To Encourage Talent Of Children and Adults

Philadelphia, Pa.. (ACP)—"Cultural Olympics" for the purpose of discovering and encouraging talent of children and adults in the fields of art and literature are being inaugurated by the University of Pennsyl-vania’s school of education.

The aim of "cultural Olympics" is to promote the cultural interests of people and communities. At present the movement is limited to Philadelphia and its immediate area, but it is hoped that it will eventually become a national trend.

President Gates of the University of Pennsylvania explained the new project more fully:    

"In accordance with the first objective, an effort will be made to bring the cultural Olympics to the attention of as many potential competitors as possible by establishing contacts with churches, schools, museums, Institutes, settlement houses, clubs, and other Institutes and organizations which might serve as helpful clearing houses for information concerning the project.

"The second purpose—that of suitably rewarding conspicuous achievement on the part of participants— can be accomplished best, it is felt, by making the awards of such a diameter that they will not be of mere passing significance but will serve as vehicles for the further developments of the cultural talents of their recipients.

"To this end it is hoped that provision may be made whereby a number of these awards will carry with them the privilege of study at various institutions which offer instruction in cultural fields.

"Time and again attention is called to the careers of men and women whose high achievements in the field of music, sculpture, painting, and other branches of the fine arts, were made possible solely by chance.

"Possibly that element of chance never may be eliminated entirely, but upon the extent to which it is minimized through the establishment of systematic agencies for the discovery and encouragement of latent talent wherever it exists, must depend in large measure the cultural progress of society."

Overcrowding Professions

Is a World Wide Problem

New York, N. Y. (ACP)—"To avoid the emergency of educated proletariates with the tragedies that have been witnessed in Europe as the direct result of overcrowding in certain professions," is the worldwide problem of organized education, the Carnegie Foundation on the Advancement of Teaching concluded in its latest public report.

Because Italy has recognized the need of the "right education for the right Individual" to preserve a sound social order, says the report, she has reorganized her entire edu-cational system.

"The unrest due to overcrowding in the universities and consequently in the professions was without a doubt a contributory factor to the Nazi revolution." the report continued. The report, formulated by I. L Kandel, Professor of education and Associate in the International Institute, Teachers College, Columbia University, is published as "Bulletin 28; Examinations and Their Substitutes In the United States."

Amos (captain) Miller is still nursing an injured knee that he received in a professional game last month.        

Miss Brown, Mr. Fisher, and Mr. Crawford will hold a joint recital of the piano, voice and violin departments Sunday afternoon at four o'clock in the college chapel. The schedule of the program has not definitely been decided as yet. However there will be several worthwhile numbers from each department. Saturday afternoon this same recital will be given for a private audience.

Carnegie Trustees

Study Athletic Ills

Foundation to Expose Professionalism in Athletics

New York. N. Y. (ACP)—In a meeting of the board of trustees of the Carnegie Foundation, which turned into "a sort of confessional for college president," the trustees’ executive committee was charged with the duty of deciding whether the foundation will undertake another exposure of professionalism and related ills in the operation of the ath-letic systems in the colleges of the U. S.

Franklin A. Vanderlip, treasurer of the board, explained the issue: ”We felt that the college athletic situation is more reprehensible than ever before."

He said that college officials felt the problem needed pressure from outside. “The college presidents made it plain that the thing is too big for them. Some amazing things were said. One president told of bets of more than $500,000 on a single football game. The time will come when one of these games will be thrown."

"Just as in a horse race?" he was asked.

“Yea." he answered. "I feel very strongly about it,"

The foundation recently received a request from the National Association of State Universities for a supplementary study of intercollegiate athletics. Howard J. Savage, secretary of the board, said that the request would normally be brought up at the January executive meeting. Mr. Savage took active part in the survey and reports seven years ago that charges about one in seven athletes in 130 colleges was subsidized.

Frank Still Subject Of Talk in Madison

Displays Wit in Answering Toast of Professor Cool

(By Associated Collegiate Press)

Madisonians are still swapping stories about Glenn Frank's battle last month to retain the presidency of the University of Wisconsin, and the best is the one about Dr. Frank at the banquet for state employees.

Frank, Gov. Philip La Follette and two others were scheduled to speak. But Gov. La Follette was unable to attend because of illness, so Prof. C. D. Cool, the wittiest toastmaster in Madison, voiced the usual regrets.

Under the circumstances he said he was forced to change his planned reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to that of the Three Musketeers.

When Dr. Frank stood up to speak, he was more or less glad that the governor was absent, for "If we were introduced as the Four Horsemen, I would probably have been selected us Famine."

Lawrence Boyer has been confined to his bed with the flu.

Bulldogs Wallop

Sterling College

Score of 42 to 24 Piled Up By Canines; Never Seriously Threatened by Opponents.

The McPherson Bulldogs walloped Sterling College Tuesday night by a score of 42 to 24. It was a fast game with the Canines getting in close for many setups. McPherson was having good luck on making goals, and all the regulars scored at least five points.

Sterling scored first, but soon the Bulldogs began to click and had acquired a 12 to 2 lead before the opposition again scored. Midway in the first half, McPherson was ahead 20 to 10 and increased the margin to 27 to 10 at the half. The Bulldogs slowed down in the second period, but the Sterling aggregation never seriously threatened. The McPherson substitutes entered the fray with the score 36 to 10 and out-scored their opponents by one point the short time they played.

Chet Johnston was high scorer of the game, acquiring 16 points. Wil-key, fast Sterling forward, led his team with 12 points. Robertson, McPherson's freshman guard, sank four long shots for a total of eight points.

The box score:

McPherson B Team Completes Victorious Trip to Sterling

The McPherson seconds made it a perfect, night for the Bulldogs by trouncing the Sterling B team 48 to 12. The game started out fairly even but the Canines pulled away to a lead 17 to 10 midway in the tussle. In the last half, McPherson gathered in 31 points while holding Sterling to two lone free throws.

Zook took scoring honors with 10 points, and Naylor, Letkeman and Mohler each made nine. Blanch ard of Sterling scored six points.

Bethany Defeated

McPherson Seconds Win

Easily From Bethany Swedes

McPherson College won a Kansas Conference game from its ancient collegiate enemy, the Bethany Swedes, Friday night by a 27 to 19 score. It was a fast game with plenty of bodily contact involved.

The Swedes jumped into an early lead which they held until a few long field goals started the game minutes before the half ended. Three and Bethany was off to a six-point lead. The Bulldogs slowly began to overtake the Swedes and finally passed them late in the first period. A field goal by Chet Johnston gave McPherson a 12 to 10 advantage.

The Canines spent the remainder of the game extending the margin, slowly pulling away from the Swedes. Bethany made one move midway in the second period when they ap-proached to within one point of the Bulldogs. The Swedes rallied from

a12 to 19 score to bring the count to 18 to 19.. From then on they were held to only one point while the Bulldogs collected eight.

Chet Johnston was high scorer of the game with nine points. Bethany’s high scorer was Maupin who made seven points.

The box score:

Bulldogs to Mix

With Ottawa U.

Ottawa Has Had Three Setbacks at the Hands of the Conference Leaders

Tomorrow night the Bulldogs of McPherson college will tangle with the Ottawa Braves in another Kansas Conference tilt. A win for the Bulldogs would mean a substantial boost in the conference rating, while a loss would drop the Canines to a tie with the Braves.

Although the Baptists have lost three conference games, they have a team that will make the Bulldogs show plenty of fight in order to win. Ottawa's three setbacks have been at the hands of the conference lead-ers. The three-point defeat by Kansas Wesleyan was a hard one to take, for the score was tied with only a few minutes to play. Coach Godlove has a young team, with lots of zip and speed, that will soon be knocking off the championship contenders.

Coach Selves, now that the Sterling game is over, has begun to drill the squad in preparation for the tussle with the Braves. A squad of twenty is working out daily under his direction. Dave McGill, regular guard, has recovered from sickness, and will probably see some action tomorrow night. The rest of the squad is in good condition and are aiming to stop the Braves.
