Nation-wide Campaign During
Year to Encourage Latent Talent of Playwright*
Amateur Dramatic Organizations To Recieve Large Number of Reviews Upon Request
Intermittent attempts to encourage latent talent among the undergraduate playwrights of America are to be catalyzed into a nation-wide campaign during the coming year. It was announced by Francis Bosworth, director of the WPA Federal Theatre Project's Play Bureau.
Taking cognizance of the vast, un tapped talent in high schools and opportunity, the WPA Federal Theatre is assuming the lead in offering the opportunity of seeing their colleges, hemmed in by the lack ol plays In production.
Plays submitted by college playwrights, which are not produced by WPA Federal Theatre Project units throughout the country, may receive production by the Studio Theatre, a division of the WPA Theatre, where the playwright may see the flaws in his technique or play construction.
The WPA Studio Theatre,’ which will present the student's play, at no obligation to the aspiring playwright, will, in reality, serve as a laboratory for the young writer. He will be enabled to see the fine points and
World Service Sponsors a Weiner
Roast and Program Wednesday Eve
A weiner roast was sponsored by the World Service organization for its members last evening at a Boy Scout cabin about two miles southeast of the campus.
Following the playing of games and the weiner roast, a vesper was held. Lola Richwine read two nature poems, "Silence" and "God Make Me Brave for Life". Avis Heckman spoke on the subject.
"Let's Face the Sun,” and the entire group sang various songs.
New Books Received by Librarian For Several Departments
Doctor Josephine Smith, dean of women of McPherson College is coauthor of a text in psychology, "Studies In Infant Behavior III." This book is now in the McPherson College Library.
Other Psychology books arc: "Social Psychology" by Lapiere and Farnsworth: "The Ape and the Child” by Kellogg and Kellogg. “Contemporary Schools of Psychology” by Woodworth.
Music books are "Nine Symphonies of Beethoven in Score.” "Symphonies Complete." Brahms; “The Marriage of Fijaro," Mozart: "The Magic Flute," Mozart: "Afternoon
of a Faun.” DeBussy; "The Swan of Trionela." "Sibelius; "Applied - Harmony Books I and II,” Wedge.
The biology department received the book "Flora of the Prairies and Plain of Central North America,”
are not easily discernible when the play is in manuscript form.
In addition to these services, George Terwilliger, who is the offi-cial go-between for the student play-wright and the Federal Theatre, an-
nonneed this week that the WPA Theatre is placing extensive lists bearing the names of plays, publish-ed or unpublished, at the disposal of all amateur dramatic organizations and college thespian groups.
The lists include the titles, authors, reviews and complete research data of instrinsic merit, regardless of their subject matter. These lists are broken down into various classi-
fications, such as dramas, satires, comedies, historical plays, mysteries, biographies, etc.
Bureaus at Key Cities
The principal WPA Play Bureaus are in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, but budding writers are asked to submit their manuscripts to Me. Terwilliger at New York head- quarters. 303 West 42nd Street, N. Y. C., where more than 5,000 plays have been reviewed since last April.
This new policy is in line with the position taken by Hallie Flanagan, national director of the WPA Federal Theatre Project, that "it is ab-solutely essential that the Federal Theatre take a chance on the new playwrights."
At a recent conference, Mrs. Flanagan declared that "plays currently submitted by professional playwrights cling too closely to the skirts of well trodden tradition."
"They are," she continued "the dull legitimate offspring of Henry Arthus Jones and Madame Vestris. Not only the plays, but the method Indicated for their production, class them as museum pieces—not, as theatre pieces. Obviously, it is a timid waiting of an unprecedent opportunity to regard the theatre only in terms of what we have hitherto experienced.”
Federal Theater Rents Plays When the WPA Federal Theatre, accepts a play for production by any of its units, it does not buy the play but merely rents it for $50 weekly. Furthermore, the author retains sole possession of the play.
If the play is reproduced in other sections of the country by other WPA Theatre Project units, as were "Chalk Dust," "Class of ’29" and
"Triple A Plowed Under." the author receives $50 weekly for every Individual production.
Contemporary American Women Poets," was the only book received in the field of literature.
Lists of these new additions to the library will he placed on the bulletin board.

Must Be Able to Tell Difference Between Passion and Love
Chicago Ill. -"You've got to he able to tell the difference between love and mere fleeting passion if you want to enjoy a good, old-fashioned marriage that will last 'till
death do us part." Professor Edward
L. Conlon of Loyola University maintains.
He drew a chart to illustrate to the 33 students of his "marriage and family" course—three of them already married—the result of proper choices, ending in happiness and the result of improper selections, ending In misery.
Professor Conlon declared that true love is manifested by (1) exclusiveness ( 2) constancy; (3) patience, consideration and self-sacrifice.
From another end of the campus, Dr. H. Willard Brown asserted that all such discrimination was only a step in the right direction. "What this country needs is professional parents. Only college graduates should qualify for marriage, and all colleges should have a course in the science of parenthood."
President Schwaim and Prof. S. M. Dell Talk
Saturday. October 10, at 8:00 p. m., the Student Union Room was dedicated.
A prelude of quiet music was given before the program started.

Professor Fisher: and short dedication talks given by Professor S. M. Dell and President Schwalm.
Individual cakes, coffee and mints were served.
For a number of years there has been need for a room in which students of McPherson College could hold activities. Two years ago definite plans for such a room were made. Last year actual work was started for the construction of a Student Union Room in the basement of Sharp Hall.
Since small beginnings can grow to great endings the Student Room was completed through the combined efforts of faculty members and students. The room was furnished with large armchairs, overstuffed davenports, tables, benches, radio and rending desk. The Venetian blinds, fireplace and table lamps lend finishing touches to make the room: complete.
College Orchestra Prepares
For Future Public Concert
Vera Heckman and Attendants
Margaret Fry and Gladys Shank To Wichita
Girls Received at Formal Dinner;
Attend "Four Centuries Marching” In Evening
In the beauty contest which closed Friday evening, October 9, Vera Heckman was pronounced the winner, with Margaret Fry and Gladys Shank as her attendants. Miss Heckman will be known as the Football Jubilee Beauty Queen.
On Monday afternoon the Queen and her attendants, accompanied by Otho Clark and Emerson Chisholm, editor and business manager, respectively, of the Quadrangle, went to Wichita, where they attended the Kansas Diamond Jubilee as honored guests. They were members of a party of fourteen, which included the Bethany College queen and her court, and the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Demmin, of Wichita. A suite of four rooms with full accomodations was provided for the entire group at the Lassen Hotel.
The first feature which they saw was the Jayhawker Revue, a stage show. Then they saw and heard the orchestra of Lieutenant Sovene in a dramatic presentation of the American Hit Parade. After viewing the exhibits at the Forum, they were photographed by the Midwest Engraving Company.
At the formal dinner at the hotel, the queens were presented with a corsage of orchids. After the dinner, they broadcast from the lobby of the hotel.
Monday night they attended "Four Centuries Marching," a pag-ent drama of the history of Kansas. For this performance they were given box seats.
Tuesday morning they viewed the parade and saw President and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. They also saw ex-governor "Alfalfa Bill" Murray of Oklahoma. They returned to McPherson Tuesday afternoon.
"Co-Etiquette" Reviewed by Lehman
"Co-Etiquette" by Elizabeth Eld-ridge was reviewed by Miss Della Lehman In chapel Tuesday morning.
College is a new experience and becaust it is so strange and new, it is a problem to become correctly adjusted to it. This book, written by Miss Eldridge as a guide to girls in a co-educational college deals in part with the new environment and the problems it brings. The things which tend for it successful college career are emphasized. "Co-Etiquette is a book written by one who remembered her own college problems and recognized through them the needs of other girls.
Oliver Andrews sang "Sea Fever" by Andrews.
The College orchestra is practicing and preparing for its concert to be held at some future date. With only a comparatively few practices, the orchestra has shown improvement under the direction of Professor Crawford.
Although the instrumentation is small, the orchestra is beginning to sound like a symphony. Musicians downtown outside the college are in the orchestra and contribute a great deal in making it what it is.
Professor Crawford has selected the music for the concert and the orchestra is working on that now.
The members of the orchestra are planning a Hallowe'en party to be given in the Student Union Room Oct. 28. Each member may bring a friend if he wishes. The orchestra will rehearse for an hour and adjourn

Melodrama Presented by Pep Club In Session
Last Thursday Morning
Tramp. Tramp, Tramp, the Fahnestock Boys Are Marching,
There Stands Mother Arnold at the Door! -What Floors
Professor Crawford played "Romance" by Wienlawsky at the Federation of Women’s Clubs Convention, Oct. 12.
"Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching." They did march, stealthily however, last Wednesday night. From Fahnestock over to Arnold Hall. Quietly they stole up the fire escapes and charged, with loud shouts into the hall of the third floor.
Faint screams, a mad scramble as sleepy girls reached for bathrobes, and as tousled heads popped out of hall doors, the boys fairly shook the building with their yell. Disappoint-ed again girls; 'tis not a raid—only a pep rally! “On to second floor," shouted the boys, but only a few got past the restraining arms of “Mrs. Arnold." So out the fire escape door they went and up again to second. (One of the fellows op
ened that door.) More yells that made those old wall bulge. Sorry girls, we can't stay longer" and down the stairs they tumbled to first floor. Too bad you girls had your sleep interrupted. Those boys seemed to be in a hurry to get out the front door and down those steps.
But no, the excitement isn't over yet! Noisily they attacked Kline Hall and all this time the girls at Arnold were plotting against the marauders. They rushed to the porch, and as the boys passed below. SPLA8H! Tut, tut, you guys, now you won't have to take your weekly bath. "Scream girls, here they come again." The boys again clambered to second floor, but they couldn't find guilty young ladies. And this time when the boys went
back down the stairs, the girls fol-lowed. Then both boys and girls gathered on the porch stepts of Arnold and let the whole town hear "Fight, Bulldogs, Fight."
Well, at least, you fellows weren't campused for coming up the fire escapes. Tsch! Tsch! But, you should have seraped and wiped your shoes before entering those halls, for really, you know, those floors are dangerous territory. They were refinished just this summer, and mopping takes all the wax off, which makes it necessary to wax them again, and someone has to be hired to do the work. So you must be punished for getting those floors all muddy. Next time, (ahem) don't wait for a rainy day.
Real pep was shown Thursday morning in Pep Session. With the band striking up some poppy marches the session begun. Songs and yells helped increase the Bulldog enthusiasm to beat Ottawa. The melodrama presented by the heroine, Bernice Keedy, the hero, Oliver Andrews, and the villain, Bill Fry. climaxed the enthusiastic spirit. The poor villain was almost booed off stage.
Interesting Programs At Vesper
Various types of music were presented by Mrs. Helen Holloway, organist; Lucile Ullery. pianist: Margaret Fry, violinist; and Prof. Fisher, soloist, to a large number of college students and people on the Hill.
Plan to attend the vesper service-tonight. An interesting program has been arranged.
Gladys Shank spent Sunday visiting her parents In Navarre.

Disagree? Well, Don’t Gripe—Work!
On Sunday night, we had a very fine panel discussion in C. E. Any one who did not agree with the things that were said could have the floor and say what he desired to concerning the matter under consideration.
It seemed to be the opinion of the panel that any one who did not agree or was not satisfied with the things the church is doing would he justified in staying home from church and listening to some other man on the radio who probably is better fitted to speak than any one in our city.
On the surface of the thing It would seem that this would be the logical thing to do. Just for the sake of argument let us look at the thing from a broad standpoint. I believe that we must admit that the church has played a part In all of our lives. Now If it does not serve the need that we think that it should it Is up to us to change it so that it will meet this need. I believe that any one will agree that we must partici
pate in church activities In order to change them and not sulk off by ourselves refusing to have anything to do with its service and poisoning the minds of other folks who are trying to do something about it.
If there Is something that Is going on in our school that we do not like, we use of Influence the best that we can by getting into this very thing that needs changing. For In stance If we want candle light dinners and it seems that it might not go through, the logical thing to do is get back of this thing and push. Wo must admit that this type of thing does have a place in our school life.
On the other hand we could have refused to eat in the dining hall because we were not in sympathy with the way that dinners were served, You know as well as I that this would be considered a foolish thing to do.
I am wondering If it Is not Just as bad to refuse to have anything to do with the church Just because it does not please one In every way.
Despite the conflict of ideals and emotions Involved many people have taken a definite stand in regard to war. They feel that there Is a decided benefit In arriving at a decision before a war situation presents Itself. They maintain that in this way an Individual may remain calm in a time of crisis when bands are playing and soldiers marching.
The opponents of pence pledges on the other hand maintain that because you cannot tell beforehand what the situation will be like in the next crisis you should not commit yourself now. This, in part, is the stand taken by President Ernest H. Wilkins of Oberlin College in a controversy with Albert Palmer of Chicago Theological Century, June 13, 1934). The fact that these two men
of national repute take opposite sides on this issue shows that the matter is by no means a one-sided issue.
One of the most interesting and at the same time enlightening pledges is that made by Dr. Henry Pitt Crane, the noted Methodist minister. His pledge is as follows, "So help me God, I will never bless, sanction, nor participate in another war. How do I know? I don’t. I simply assert the deepest conviction of my whole being while I am still sane, emotionally stable and utterly sincere. Should another war come, I might go. I'm all too infallible, weak and capable of cowardice. That’s why I want to go on record now. So that, would I go, no one shall salute me, eulogise me, nor attempt to glorify me. Rather they must hiss, revile and condemn me for what I should be revealing myself to be; a moral coward, a propagandised puppet, a mob-minded murderer, a world trai-tor, a Christ crucifier."—W. F.
Knights of the Mud Bath attempted last week to predict the outcome of the coming presidential election by states. We feel obligated to express our thanks for their generosity in admitting that Roosevelt might carry a few of the southern and western states.
We submit that the American Institute of Public Opinion, an organization of professional fact-ga-therers, are better able to predict the political trend than the opposition or ourselves. On this basis, we agree with the Institute poll of last Sunday, Oct. 3.
Safely for Roosevelt today-
(8) South Carolina, (9) Missis-sippi, (12) Georgia, (1) Alabama, (10) Louisiana, (13) Texas, (9) Arkansas, (7) Florida, (11) Tennessee, (13) North Carolina, (4) North Dakota, (4) Utah, (3) Nevada, (11) Virginia, (11) Kentucky, (5) Oregon, (22) California, (4) Idaho, (11) Oklahoma, (4) Montana, (3) Arizona, (8) Maryland, (15) Missouri, (8) Washington This totals 229 safe votes.
Borderline democratic—(3) Delaware. (6) Colorado. (19) Michigan. (12) Wisconsin. (26) Ohio. (11) Minnesota. This makes 77 borderline votes, giving the democrats total of 306 votes.
Landon has (5) Maine, (3) Vermont. (4) New Hampshire. (8) Connecticut. (9) Kansas. (4) South Dakota. (3) Wyoming. This totals 36 safely Republican votes.
Borderline Republican votes are as follows: (4) Rhode Island (36) Pennsylvania. (29) Illinois, (16) New Jersey. (7) Nebraska. (47) New York. (8) West Virginia. (11) Iowa, (14) Indiana, giving a total of 189 borderline. The Republican total is 226.
It might be well to remind the opposition that their old stand-by, the Literary Digest poll, has shown a decided swing toward the President this week. The Literary Digest never misses: so say the Republicans.
Governor Landon, the typical
"Yes-man" on his vacation has been steadily opposing the New Deal policies since he became a candidate. Why did he to readily fall in line with all of President Roosevelt's policies before he became a candidate?
The accomplishments of the present administration have been numerous—banking legislation, raising of of the greatest program of relief the country has ever had, passed security and old-age pension laws, devised and maintained a commendable neutrality policy, and provided for conservation of our resources through agricultural legislation.
But do the Republicans oppose these measures? Oh no, they are heartily in favor of them, so they say, but only wish to take the cred-
The Gallery
The outcome of the prediction made at the dinner table of the Sunday evening sandwiches-apples-and-milk meal proves for the second time this week that the administration is always one jump ahead of students. Methinks that there will be forthcoming remedies also for the jokes related in the dining hall which most of us heard in high school... . and especially after the discovery of those dainties trimmed in blue which escaped from Arnold Hall one midnight.
Dr. Schwalm's idea Saturday night
to show us how romantic the student room is when the lights are out was quite welcome but I still suffer with the thought that Professor Mohler may have swallowed that fly I forgot to take out of his cup of coffee.
Everyone was happy to see our three beauty majesties leave for the city to represent our Alma Mater except David.
Pet diversions: a walk to the draw each night after library hours; forgetting studies by dipping my arms In sudsy suds and cool rinse water on wash day; hoping each night that, the morning will be filled with dancing leaves in In-dian-summer oranges and browns; letting myself be Just me.
A younger sister Is given only the left-over love I suppose, but she has her moments for a comeback. Take for instance just as I had when I was left alone in the presence of the sister’s birthday gift for her boy friend. What a blessed, long-pray-ed-for chance. And what a success! - - - - it was perfect. (You see, the four dashes do add expression if you read them correctly.)
If one really could be campused for sitting on the fire escape waiting for a poetic inspiration, the writing of sonnets should not be suggested by professors any more.
Do not bo fooled by these smokescreens. The Old General, Hoover, Mulvane—henchman Hamilton and good Gov. Landon, are not in favor of the continuance of humane and social measures. They are only camouflaging, their eyes are on the old system of special privileges.
Governor Landon fails to measure up to the promises he has made as a candidate for the presidency. His record as governor of Kansas has been very mediocre. Yet he asks us to believe that he could work wonders as chief executive if but given the chance.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the American people do not in-tend to give him this chance upon such a vague previous record!

last Wednesday evening, I wish to neither extol nor condemn. But it occurs to me that the method by which it was supposed to be settled caused unnecessary antagonism to-ward the administration—namely that there is no student voice in the matters of school discipline.
The method is somewhat like this. An event occurs that is unconven-tional and perhaps distasteful to some. The grievances are brought before the Administrative Commit-tee by some faulty member or re-presentative who, perhaps, has been personally insulted. After due consideration-but, without the expression of student opinions-course of punishment is agreed upon and someone is given the embarrassing task or informing the students. The punishment is pre
sented to the students who are to accept it without a whimper.
The result is a verbal barrage against the administration that is far from complimentary. One such an event is fertile ground that stimulates the mind to recall other events or conditions—real or imaginary— until the initial stimulus seems a great injustice, particularly when the pecuniary fine—as it invariably is—appears to exceed the damage incurred. The net result is an un-fortunate misunderstanding and friction, between the students and the administration.
I believe that student representation inmatters of school discipline, will bring about a closer understanding between the students and the administration.

Conference Tilt
Bulldogs Take Game By Score of 26-7—Muddy Field Causes Difficulties.
The McPherson College Bulldogs, Friday night, gained their first grip on the Kansas Conference standings by defeating Ottawa University 26 to 7. The game was played on a wet field, and both teams experienced difficulty in keeping possession of the ball. After getting off to a slow start, the Bulldogs came to life and had things practically their own way for the remainder of the game.
The crowd got plenty of thrills from the sensational broken field runs of Zuhars and Haun, McPherson backs. The passing attacks of the two teams also added interest. The Bulldogs have shown rapid improvement In this department since the season opened.
The Canines played slow-cautious football during the first quarter. They seemed to be testing the strength of the Braves and preparing for harder work later on. Ottawa was in McPherson territory much of the first quarter, but the Bulldogs kept them away from the goal line.
Midway In the second quarter the Canines recovered an Ottawa fumble on the 26 yard line. On the next play Zuhars dashed off four yards and then Crabb passed to McGill, who gained eight more yards. This gain was nullified, as Zuhars, back to pass again, was tackled for an eight-yard loss when no one was open to receive the toss. Another pass. Crabb to Haun, gained 16 yards, putting the ball down on the three yard line. Zuhars played through the line to score, and Haun kicked the goal.
Haun Bashes For Touchdown Just before the half ended Haun took the hall on an off tackle play, dodged several Braves, side-stepped and twisted ahead and finally rushed past the last Ottawa player to dash 66 yards for the second touchdown. His try for extra point failed to clear the bar.
After the intermission the Bulldogs continued to drive and pound at the Ottawa line, reeling off gains of five, ten and fifteen yards. Haun ran nine yards to the one-yard line and Crabb carried it over for the touchdown. Haun missed the attempted kick lor extra point.
Later In the third quarter, the fleet-footed Haun intercepted an Ottawa pass and raced 35 yards to cross the goal line. He kicked the goal and the score was 26 to 0.

Both Baker and McPherson Hold One Conference Victory Stiff Fight For the Top
Tomorrow night the McPherson College Bulldogs will play their second conference game against the Baker University Wildcats. Both teams have already won one conference game, and they’ll be out there fighting to stay at the top.
Last year the Bulldogs held the strong Baker team to a scoreless tie. The Wildcats have lost only one game this season. A strong Rock-hurst eleven defeated them only 147. The Baker line is noted for its ability to hold when making a goal line stand. They held Southwestern on the four-yard line twice.
Coach Selves’ players are now in good condition, and are anxiously awaiting their clash with the Bulldogs. It’s bound to be a good game. The probable starting lineup:
Black and blue are the shins of most of the girls who take Physical Education, as the result of playing soccer.
This Is a comparatively new game for most of the girls, and it’s no easy task to learn the rules and regulations. This week instructions are being given as to the various kinds of kicks. And certainly there are more different kicks in soccer than in football.
In some of the classes the girls are learning to play tennis, and some play tenniquoits.
Our baseball games are "almost’’ as exciting as those between the Yankees and Giants. We even have a home run hitter In the person of Julia Frick.
“Birdie” Keller, as pitcher for team I. fans ’em. while "Hub”, pit
cher for team II.. goes wild and walks em. The pitcher’s balls were too fast for poor Trostle. She got her finger hurt and had to retire to third base.
If anyone has a rule book, lt would please the manager to use it so that arguments between Jessie and "Mamma” Flory about the rules of the game could be quickly settled.
Even when LaVena High plays catcher she has to hare some “pig-tail"—that’s how good she is. But our most flashy catcher is the tall Audrey Hamman. Ruth Rogers and Shorty Wine, captains of the teams, are really getting gray hairs—such a worry and responsibility. you know. But, no kidding, these girls have a lot of fun and it takes such enthusiastic players as these to make up the W. A. A.

Sport Skit*
For a while last week it seemed possibly that Mike Vasquez would be moved to the fullback position to fill a vacancy caused by injuries. Gene Kemper heard of this and said several praiseworthy things of Mike. ‘'Vasquez, a Mexican guard who captains the Bulldogs, is as good pound for pound, as we have in this state. I'm one who believes Mike will deliver in any assignment.”
Baker upset the dope by defeating College of Emporia 13 to 7 on the Presbies' own field. The Wildcats scored both touchdowns in the first period indicating a strong offensive early In the game.
Ottawa Scores Touchdown
Ottawa’s only touchdown came in the final quarter after a series of breaks had placed them In scoring position. The Braves advanced to the four-yard line with the aid of several penalties and a blocked punt. After two passes had been broken. Cupa completed one to. Harding who scored. Van Arb kicked the goal for the extra point.
The Bulldog line held wonderfully Friday night and the entire game seemed to have more drive and de-termination than in previous games. The passing, especially, showed improvement. Haun, Zuhars and Crabb did the tossing, with McGill, Haun and Horst receiving. Several times they leaped in the air to snag seemingly impossible tosses.
Merwin Hapgood, fullback, had engaged in only light workouts for three weeks, but he was in there backing up the line all the time. He was injured In the first game of the season.
