Alumni Banquet at Kansas City

At a banquet commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of McPherson College held last Friday evening. February 12, at Kansas City, Kansas, the Alumni Chapter of the Kansas City area was organized. The following are the officers of the newly formed association: Harry Frantz, president, Atchison. Kas.; Dr. Galen Tice, vice-president, Kansas City. Kann.; Bernice Hoover, secretary and treasurer, Plattsburg, Mo.

Reverend Irvin Enos, trustee, was toastmaster; John Shirky, Mrs. Mary C. Klepinger, Professor S. M. Dell, and Reverend C. E. Davis addressed the banquet. Professor Nevin Fisher sang a number of solos and led group singing. Miss Elma Minnick gave two readings, and Miss Margaret Fry sang several solos.

Miss Lehman Reveals Episodes From Doctor’s Life

Miss Della Lehman reviewed the book "An American Doctor's Odyssey" by Dr. Victor Heiser, in chapel Tuesday morning.

Dr. Heiser made his home in for-ty-five countries and tells of his experiences in an entertaining manner.

When he was only sixteen his father heard an ominous rumble in the heavens and sent him to the barn to see that the stock was alright. In a few minutes the Johnstown flood descended and after struggling for his life and nearly drowning several times he was finally sav-ed. However, the rest of his family was drowned: after searching about two weeks he found his mother’s body in a morgue, but he never found his father.

After trying plumbing, carpentering, and mechanical engineering, he turned to medicine. Upon completion of his medical course he was employed by the Rockefeller Foundation.

He went first to the Philippines, where he set for himself the task of saving 50,000 lives per year: he saved 100,000.

Dr. Helser tells horrible tales of fighting disease, swimming among sharks, and being attacked by infuriated leprous women.

Leprosy, although not inherited, is easily contracted in childhood. The task of separating 26 babies from their leprous mothers was not an easy one, but Dr. Heiser succeed-ed in doing that as well as getting them adopted into good homes.

While visiting in Japan, he suffered much embarrassment when his black silk socks wore out as he walked on rock walks. This difficulty he overcame by investing in cotton hose.

In October, 1934, he offered his resignation to the Rockefeller Foundation, after having dedicated his life to a single purpose—the application of knowledge to the prevention and cure of disease.

Celebrate Lincoln's Birthday

A program celebrating the birthday of Abraham Lincoln was presented In chapel Friday. Group singing was led by Floyd Harris. Wanda Hoover read the following poems:

Lincoln, the Man of the People, by Edwin Markham;

Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight, by Vachel Lindsay.

LaMar Bollinger led in prayer.

The Education of Abraham Lincoln" was discussed by Glee Gough-nour. Lincoln loved books, although he had little encouragement. "Paul Lackie told of Lincoln's work as a lawyer. "Lincoln as a Humorist" was the subject of Paul Miller’s talk. He stated that while some people considered Lincoln's humor crass and unsophisticated it was his protection against the strain of busy life.

Daily Rehearsals For Cast of Play

“Taming of Shrew” To Be Produced March 23 and 24

"It ain't no bed of roses." putting on a Shakespeare play, the senior play cast and coach agree. Yet. despite the hard work in store for those producing the play, considerable Interest and enthusiasm is being shown in the daily rehearsals.

Five weeks from last Tuesday night the first performance will be given. Two nights, March 23 and 24. have been scheduled for the presentation of "The Taming of the Shrew." The play will be produced in the College chapel.

Shakespeare's text, with enough cutting to make the play suitable for on evening's performance, is being used. There bus been no changing of the Shakespearean lines other than omission.

Arrangements necessary for the production of the play are in the charge of several committees, Publicity is being cared for by a committee consisting of Myrtle Barley, Vernon Michael: Chester Colwell and Emma Schmidt, chairman. June Mc-Namee is chairman of the costume committee, and will he assisted by Pauline Stutzman. The property committee consists of Alvin Goering, Bernadine Ohmart, and Phyllis Powers, chairman. Van Hunt is stage chairman, and will be assisted by Fred Nace Mr. Hunt, as class treasurer, will also be business manager of the play. The committee chairman, the coach, George Toland, and the class president, David Metzger, constitute a general play committee whoso function it is to keep the production progressing.

The selection of a Shakespearean play by the senior class has aroused interest among all the dramatical-ly and literary minded students and faculty members.

What's your business? Photography.

How's business?

Exposed!

Indeed some very Interesting persons In very Interesting poses could be exposed if al the pictures taken here-abouts were revealed Yes. taking pictures seems to be an up-and going occupation on those windy college grounds. Windy, did I say? How could it be otherwise with peo-ple talking so much. However, that's quite beside the point.

The point is pictures are being taken—supposedly for the Quad. One night three or four fellows schemed to get Mike in a picture, most likely an embarrassing , one But the schemers were foiled in their conspiracy and their efforts were In vain.

While the he was on the ground. It was not unusual to hear a camera click as one of our campus coeds grasped frantically at thin air as she skated on something other than her feet; or to hear "Hold it" as a cameraman appeared on the scene when one of our big handsome brutes gracefully bounced down the dorm steps. And If that weren't enough.

A Regional Conference of the Church of the Brethren representing the McPherson College area, will be held on the campus next week beginning Sunday and continuing until Friday noon (February 21 to 26).

To lead ministers and other Christian workers to a deeper apprecia-tion of the Bible as a source of strength, inspiration and guidance for life and life’s problems: To

lead all those present in a definite way to re-dedicate their lives anew to Christ and the work of his Kingdom; to study the problem of the local church, especially the small local church, with a view of discovering ways and means of helping make it more effective and if possible of discovering what part the college can play in this program.

Speakers at this Conference are prominent figures in the Church of of Brethren. Rufus D. Bowman, member of the General Mission Board: W. W. Slabaugh. faculty , member of the Bethany Biblical Seminary; M. R. Zigler, secretary of the General Mission Board, execu- tive secretary of the General Ministerial Board and the Board of Chris- tian Education: Ruth Shriver.

Three great world characters wore reviewed in C. E. Sunday night at 6:30 in the College church. A special feature of the program was a vocal solo "Great Peace Have They Which Loved Thy Law," by Margaret Fry who was accompanied by Lucile Ullery. ,

The life of Louis Pasteur, France’s preeminent scientist, was given by Kurtis Naylor. Pasteur was a chemist, a very hard worker, and was loved by everyone. He Is one of the few outstanding men who had lived to reap some of the fruits of his investigation. His outstanding contribution to the world was that he was able to pass on some of his knowledge to young men who have carried on the work which he started. In this way, he was a maker of men and not merely a scientist.

Abraham Lincoln, the great American statesman, was reviewed by Gladys Shank. He attained success because he had a tangible goal for life before him. He made many contributions to his home, community and country. He put his whole self in whatever he did. Some of his outstanding character qualities are honesty, sociability, loyalty to home and family, courage and sincerity. Religion was never placed in the background of his life. Although he was lowly of parents, he had a very wonderful personality.

The contributions of Kagawa, Japan's outstanding social and religious leader of today, were presented by Margaret Louise Kagarice. Kagawa was left an orphan at the age of four. He lived with relatives who always blamed him when anything went wrong. He attended an English Bible School and was converted to Christianity. He desired to abolish poverty and spread the gospel. He soon discovered that one individual working for society cannot change it. The Cooperatives is the largest feature of the King dom of God movement which he started Kagawa Is showing the world a new interpretation of religion for a new age. He has a three-point program:. evangelism, education, and social reformation.

President V. F. Schwalm attended the Pacific coast area Regional Conference of the Church of the Brethren February 2-7. President Schwalm of McPherson College and D. W. Kurtz, president of the Bethany Biblical Seminary, Chicago, were the main speakers of the Conference. Dr. H. J. Harnly spoke at the Thursday session. Other Conference speakers were "Dr. E. M. Studebaker and Lynn Blickenstaff.

Saturday evening. Feb. 6, a ban-quet was held for McPherson Col-lege Alumni. Two former presidents of McPherson College. Dr. D. W. Kurtz and Dr. H. J. Harnly, and President V. F. Schwalm were there. The Alumni Association was organised for the coming year as follows: Ralph Detter, president: Nell Cullen, secretary: Ira Yoder, treasurer. Dr. Schwalm filled several additional speaking engagements during the Conference. He spoke to the La Verne Lions Club, to a meeting of the Glo ndora Church's Men’s Brotherhood, and preached at the Calvary Brethern Church. Los Angeles.

Hamilton. N. Y.—Listen with interest to stories about geniuses who exist on a few hours of sleep a night, but discount most of them.

Findings of Colgate University's Dr. Donald A. Laird, in a survey of 500 men high in the fields of art, literature and science, show that the majority of these "greats” got plenty of sleep and if they didn’t they suffered the same ill effects anyone else does.

Choir Concert Huge Success

Fisher Directs Group

The A Cappela choir made a lively picture Monday night as they made their debut of the season on the stage of the Community Hall Auditorium—the girls in their pas-tel formats and the men forming a handsome background in their tuxedos.

The concert, under Professor Fisher’s direction, was one of the biggest hits. If not the biggest hit. of the McPherson College school year. This year marked the fifth annual appearance of the group which was organized in 1932 by Professor Alvin Voran, to whom the program Monday night was dedicated.

The ensemble of music was very well selected, and brilliance and color marked the Interpretation of individual numbers. The rendition of Noble Cain’s "The Music of Life,” Bach’s "Dearest Lord Jesus” with a soprano solo by Margaret Fry. and S. J. Haneyf’s "Sun-rise" were especially enjoyed by music lovers.

Appreciation of the Choir for Professor Fisher’s hard and conscientious work with them, was expressed by their presentation of a large basket of carnations and snap dragons to him during the program.

To climax the evening, a banquet for all the choir members and their friends was given at the banquet room of the Hotel Hawley. Old members of the choir were, also guests at the dinner. Dr. Claude Flory pre-sided as tastmaster. with no one escaping his helpful comments.

The theme of the banquet program was Harping On, a novel, written by Dr. Flory. Toasts were given by Chris Johnson, Eldora Van Dermark. Professor Fisher and President Paul Miller. Miss Viola Harris led the group in several songs The old members of the choir sang "Every Time I Hear the Spirit." The banquet was ended by the choir members singing their dedication song.

A lecture on diamonds with slides and a moving picture film will be given in the chemistry lecture room Thursday. 4:15. The film is on synthetic diamonds which was taken this last summer. Everyone is invited to attend.

Andy went around pushing young ladies (?) down on the cold, damp Ice and then snap a picture. In the meantime George takes-advantage of the fact that the poor girl In dis- tress has lost a heel, and while Andy, like the gentleman that he is, helps her put it back on. he takes it upon himself to shoot both of them. Now

Then just before the A Cappella concert Monday flight, three males from Fahnestock invaded the most private halls of second floor Arnold. and in a corner room two of our esteemed freshmen posed in formal attire before the eyes of the camera. "See the birdie? Aw. come on. Bill, smile for the lady!"

After the concert other exposures were taken. No, I don't mean of the Choir. These were really exposures! The "Pantless Quartet" had their picture taken in tuxedoes, goose pimples, and all (rather, not all).

No doubt. more, pictures than these mentioned above have been taken, especially in Fahnestock. But wait until the quad comes out. and then you will see some, and only some, of the reflections of the camera.

One of the hardest things in life to take is to be told that we are wrong. It is to that realization that we are prone to mistakes that we must adjust ourselves.

Even the wisest and most conservative of men have acted rather ' rashly under strained conditions but it was the greatest who admitted their mistakes. We. as humans, are , Inclined to become antagonistic

against the blunt by exposed criticism

of others, whether Just or unjust. A group on our campus have proved that they can conform and adjust themselves to the ridicule of others. Their attitude should set an example for every organization and person on this campus.

Cardinal Newman in his article. "A Portrait of a Gentleman," brings out some characteristics that we might well guide our characters by. Newman declares. "A gentleman has too much good sense to be affronted at Insults, he is too well employed to remember Injuries, and too In

a total of $499.53. Besides these financial comensations, twenty-five homes, a community center, and general offices have been built. In ten months these thirty families have raised twelve thousand dollars worth of cotton and sawed five thousand dollars worth of lumber. Thus this challenge to the economic feudalism In the south Is seemlingly making a hard but nevertheless successful battle for economic freedom.

The above case Is one isolated example. In Europe one finds cooperatives far more firmly established. Sweden, where cooperatives receive more than 20 per cent of the retail and wholesale business has prospered under this modified economic system. To illustrate how the consumer's money has been saved In that country one has but to call attention to one example. In a period of two years the price of a pair of galoshes was reduced to $1.20 because the cooperatives entered the field against capitalistic monopolies.

One could go on and recite numerous other examples, still accumulating evidence secured to Sweden or Europe may not necessarily prove that cooperatives will work in America. There is one significant factor, however, which cannot be overlooked. Under capitalism, consum-ers are ordinarily unorganized: they act not as a group, out as individuals. Through cooperation on the other hand, they gain the strength of united effort; though a mutual pooling of Interests and capacities they can grapple with problems against which one Individual would be powerless. Certainly the results of the Delta Cooperative Farm verify the assumption as do the count-less functioning cooperative units abroad. Perchance here is the solution for Which the economically depressed masses have been searching. Indications show that cooperative cannot be lightly dismissed, for they have made notable contributions. In many cases in the face of direct opposition.

taking their social life on the campus so conservatively when the favorite attractions are at home.

Arnoldites have accepted a new corollary to the rules for proper forms of reception garb for girls when the boy friend calls. Mother Emmert casually slips into the new precedent also—If only by chance.

If the concert choir looked pretty In their formal attire, then Margaret's formal was prettier; Opal’s coiffure was daringly individual; and Charles Nettleton made a perfect tuxedo model.

It's terribly upsetting: to learn that the trustees will enjoy such a short visit on our campus; to see that black eyes are indications of family quarrels in the Siedel fraternity: to feel that dust storms will accompany the springing of spring.

The best way the philosophy of cooperation can demonstrate that it is practical as well at feasible is for it to come face to face and grapple with the greatest economic problem of the times. Without a question this problem has to do with the stark straggly for existence which sharecroppers, sweat shop employees, and many times tenant farmers are forced to wage. For this group life still holds a challenge, a remote posibility that same day their conditions might be alleviated. There Is yet another group which falls below this one. namely, the un-employed who are forced by circumstances to accept life-giving susten-nnce from the government or private relief organizations. Capitalism s attempt to cope with this problem during the last decade Is quite evident; has the way of cooperation a better solution?

Like so many other Institutions, cooperatives have risen because of a keenly felt need. This need has made itself especially apparent during the last few years. There are at the present time some two million American citizens participating In a cooperative of one type or another. One of the newest cooperative ventures which Is trying to alleviate conditions in one of the feudalistic southern states Is more in the limelight than any other similar under-taking. The 2,138 acre Delta Cooperative Farm at Millhouse, Mississippi owes Its Inception largely to Sherwood Eddy and Reinhold Niebuhr. Initiated In March, 1936, it has existed for almost a year under the capable direction of Sam Franklin, who tor five years was a missionary in Japan. According to reports released by several southern states, sharecroppers earn from $100 to $362 yearly. The Individual members of the Delta Cooperative which is composed almost entirely of evicted sharecroppers and tenants, received $321.53 in cash and $1222 in certificates for deferred payment of nonproductive labor in clearing land and building houses. This makes

dolent to bear malice. He is patient, forbearing, and resigned, on philosophical principles: he submits to pain because it Is inevitable, to bereavement because it Is Irreparable, and to death because it Is his destiny.”

Let us all fearlessly face the future with a determined outlook to readjust ourselves and profit by our shortcomings. Let us grow bigger within ourselves, emerging into life of greater self restraint, Joy, peace, goodwill, with malice toward none. Let us all cast our efforts toward making this one of the greatest years In McPherson College history. Let us follow the philosophy sot down by Curry Fewell:

"Why! Our football team was playing yours at Cambridge, and our cheering section was calling your boys ’damn Yankees,' but they quit after the half because they realized no Harvard man had enough history to know what they were talking about."

Dean Mohler has posted on his bulletin board a religious polemic against the law of heredity, In which this statement is made, "Man is therefore perfectly protected, there being nothing which can harm him." Apparently the author never had to live on his own cooking a couple of weeks while his wife was home visiting her mother ... An article on the care of men's clothes advises against hanging trousers upside down. The Detroit News adds Its approval, observing this would avoid a shower of small coins on the floor. I expect college men will find little to hinder their hanging their pants In the usual way . . . "Blackburn College Holds Dance" headline on front page of Spectator. What news! But what and where is Blackburn college? ... I see by the paper where a boy whoso clothes took fire saved his own life by diving into a snow drift. I call that saving a life by keeping a cool head.

Has anyone noticed how red Lackie's face is the last week or so? I'll tell you why. He is thinking About all he said last fall about that talk about Roosevelt wanting to change the form of government being just Republican political bunk. It must be uncomfortable to be a New Dealer and find suddenly that you knew all the time something needed to be done you hadn't thought about before. Pity the poor, overworked federal court, of which a report issued about the first of February by attorney general Cummings has this to say. In part: Every case argued or submitted was disposed of before adjournment . The work of the court is current and cases are heard as soon af-ter records have been printed as briefs can be prepared. Prompt hearings and decisions were had in all cases of large public interest." Don’t you feel sorry for the nine old men. six of them pitiable victims of senility? Records show the actual work of the federal courts has been reduced In the past two years. There are now eight vacancies in the federal courts of the land—In one district one Judge died over a year ago and another resigned last March, and neither position has been filled. One wonders why such a thoughtful president has not filled those vacancies and so aided the remaining overworked Judges. So the argument of the overworked courts subsides somewhat. -

But. since the publication of this annual report, the attorney general has written a letter to the president which contains a few statements worthy of notice. "Delay In the ad-

The business of the courts is continually increasing ..." Perhaps someone should Inform the attorney general of the report he issued: perhaps somebody told him, "Mr. Attorney General. I need a letter.” Far be it from mo to say the president of the United States lied—shall we say political exigencies demanded a reason? You do not think packing the supreme court would change our government. Six grinning new faces on the supreme bench would complete the dictatorship. You don’t care if he does pack the court? I shall not argue with one who thinks it all right to pack a court—or stuff a ballot-box or bribe a Jury.

As good scholars, let us conclude with a dig deep into history. Augustus Caesar—a smiling, affable, kindly and well meaning man—induced the Roman senate. In a period of groat depression, to yield to him powers for a period of ten years. The senate never regained them.

and every ten years Augustus and his successors celebrated the renewal of the concentration of power in one man.

Youth Movements Power Designed

Carnegie Foundation Declares . Youth Used as Reservoir For Adult Benefit

youth movements' are designed as "short cuts to power or to change”. is the theme of the annual report of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching delivered by the Foundation’s President Walter A. Jessup.

"In all too many Instances." said the report, "it is apparent that these newer youth movements are really organized by adults who know what they want and to whom youth Is a reservoir of advocates readily Influenced.

"Shifts In social, economic or political outlook are quickly reflected In the program set up In his behalf." explained Mr. Jessup. "Witness the youth movements under Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin, not to mention our own National Youth Administration In America. .

"Although we look with horror at the child crusaders of the Middle Ages, may not some future historian challenge some of the current youth activities? Just now we hear much about youth as a factor In bringing about a new order In society.

"So much is said about youth today and so much emphasis is laid upon it that it might seem that preceding generations had overlooked youth. The schools are not by any means our sole provision for youth, even in recent times. We have encouraged for him an endless number of extra school organization." continued the report.

"The churches nave organised the Christian association, the Newman Clubs and the Menorah Society. The farmers have their 4-H clubs. Busi- ness, big and small, has fostered Junior chambers of commerce. Indeed each of the social Institutions has sought to interest youth in its particular problems. In recent years have come the government supported agencies for youth, such as the CCC and the National Youth Administration.

"Now each of these positions can be rationalized into a plausible program which affords a satisfactory Justification to its particular advocates. Faced with all this tumult. we shall do well to remember that youth has always been prey to organized exploitation.

"Students on the frontiers of knowledge of childhood criticize very sharply many of the procedures and outcomes of our present mass education. Those members of society who are outraged at the regimentation of children and yet whose forebears in days past forced them to back-breaking labor that dwarfed and diseased young bodies, may well ask whether either the conventional procedures which we now have or our newest programs are free from analogous spiritual dangers."

The opening section of the report, subtitled "The Exploitation of Yo'nth,"'ended with the declaration:

"The fact that in main parts of the world the national governments have stepped In to control the lives of youth has been viewed with ap-prehension.

Nebraska University Takes . Honors in Judging Contest

Chicago. Ill. Nebraska University won first place in the 1936 collegiate crops judging contest at the International Grain and Hay Show. The Cornhusker team placed first In the three divisions of the contest: seed judging, commercial grading and identification. The crops contest was open to teams representing agricultural colleges In the United States.

According to president Harold W. Dodds, the purpose of the new plan Is to make, entrance requirements more flexible, to the end that there will be no technical obstacles hindering she selection of the best potential candidates from all over the country. However. The University will expect Candidates from Eastern centers and from schools which offer definite preparation for College Entrance examinations to take examinations as in the past.

In your column last week. I noted the following statement. "The type writer may very well be used for friends, but it never used for formal correspondence, such as condolences or invitations." I was under the impression that it was never good to use the typewriter for a friendly letter. Which statement is correct?

One authority says the typewriter may be correctly used In writing to friends and another says not. It Is Important to note, however, that the books latest off the press are most lenient. They allow the use of the typewriter for all but the most for-mal correspondence. Vogues Book of Etiquette suggests "that after the conventional preliminaries It is much better not to be guided and oppressed by too much etiquette." There's a point In that, don't you think?

Is there any rule about the se-quence of pages in writing a letter when a folded sheet of notepaper is used?

"There is no definite convention. The best way is that which is easiest to write and at the same time simplest to read."—Vogue's Book of Etiquette.

"On a social letter the date may be written either at the right hand side of the front page or In the lower left-hand cornet of the last page, below the signature.

On business letters, the date belongs always on the first page at the upper right. The year should always be included. (This Is not obligatory in a social letter.)”—Vogue s Book of Etiquette.

The amount crowded on some post cards would almost qualify them as letters. Post cards are supposed to be nothing more than a friendly greeting. "With best wishes from Bermuda," and your name Is as good as anything to write on a post card.

Here's a bit of information on complimentary closes. "Respectfully yours." should never ho used except by an employee to an employer, or In certain kinds of business letters. "Hastily yours." "Yours In great haste." and similar phrases are too hasty by far to be polite." Almost any other complimentary close is correct. Use your own discretion.

Common Good, Not Money, End of Law

New York State Bar Associa-tion Listen to R. M. Hutchins at Annual Meeting

for the common good, not the money. Is the text of the address delivered by the university of Chicago's Pres. Robt. Maynard Hutchins to lawyers and judges assembled at the annual meeting of the New York State Bar Association.

"The rise of the University law schools from the Seventies paralleled the rise of the great corporations and the tremendous expansion of American history. The bar entered on a new phase, and the law schools went with it.” said the former Dean of Yale’s law school.

"This was probably the first time in our history when it came to be taken for granted that the bar was the servant of commerce. Industry

lawyers to amass substantial fortunes. As the bar came to see the law as a means of making money, law students inevitably came to see; it In the same light.

'All I am attempting to point out." he continued, “is that If the aim of the bar is financial success, and if the best way of achieving it Is guile, students are not likely to be much interested in a course of study resting on the notion that law is a learned profession and that a university is a place for the pursuit of truth and the cultivation of the Intellectual virtues.”

College Students Aided by N. Y. A.

One of Every Fifteen Persons Earns Part of Expenses

Washington, D. C.—One out of every fifteen college students is earning part of his expenses through employment in the NYA program.

That Is the claim of Aubrey Williams. administrator of the National Youth Administration. The student aid program has expanded to Include 15,817 more students and 84 more colleges and universities, Included In the total of 124,818 students and 1,686 institutions.

Undergraduates make up the bulk of the NYA list with 119,583 draw ing monthly checks. Graduates number 5.235. Of the $1,869,143 allocation for student aid last December. $1,770,533 was for undergraduates and $98,610 for graduates.

Williams stated that $309,498 more was expended for NYA projects In December 1936 than for the same month of 1935.

Exactly 98 per cent of U. S. in-stitutions are participating In the student aid program, said Williams. To be eligible the college or university must he non-profit-making and tax exempt. This embraces practically every degree-granting institution In the country.

In regard to the fears expressed at the time of the NYA's establishment in the summer of 1935 that it was "an opening wedge" toward ultimate control of the educational system. Williams declared:

‘‘Such fears have been allayed completely as the program has developed. 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 entirely In the hands of the Institutions’ own authorities.

Girls of Wisconsin University Use Enough Rouge to Cover Barn

Madison, Wis.—(ACP)—The University of Wisconsin's "Slide-rules Sage", who gained national prominence by calculating that Badger coeds use enough lipstick in a year to cover a barn, is making his rule say-queer things again.

Aldro Lingard has discovered that the university heating plant would use 23 tons less coal a year if students smoked in the buildings. (The fire hazard bans smoking). Ninety-one per cent of the heat value would come from cigarets and the remainder from pipes.

Doing some more serious "sliding". Aldro found that Badgerites spend $241.000 for cigarettes and $9,500 for pipe tobacco a year.

Most people.” he said, "take about 12 puffs per cigarette, and the average volume of a puff is about .2 cubic Inches. In the year the student body Inhales about 63,000 cubic feet of smoke. Pipe smokers take In another 120,000 cubic feet. This is the volume of a room 60 feet square and 18 feet high.

"The energy content of all the tobacco Is about 150,000,000.000,000 calories If all that heat energy could he converted into mechanical energy 100 percent, there would be 465 foot pounds of it. which would he enough to run escalators up the hill for about five years.

•Apparently, however, students would rather blow smoke around In people’s faces than ride up the hill In comfort all year around," he concluded sticking the slide rule in his boot, engineer fashion.

The first game of the evening was just about as good, the score be-ing 25 to 26. The team was trying hard to give the spectators their quarter’s worth of excitement you should have seen coach Daniel jerking the players and giving them pep talks or something.

Bill Fry had some free publicity over the loud speaker. As a result the whole crowd know him as the ‘Omaha Flash."

Premiums were given by the Buhler merchants at the half of the game and one member of the McPherson cheering section had the lucky number which entitled her to free grease Job at one of the filling station. Was it ever embarrassing being caught without i car. By the way ask Dan why ho changed to a higher grade of oil that night.

Diehl had a slight accident which caused him to be very unhappy. All In all everyone had a swell time and the teams showed their colors very well.
