The Young People’s Meeting was, held Sunday afternoon. After the business session, which featured the election of officers, the young people of the First Wichita Church presents a play, "Ordered South.”

The conference proved to be very inspirational and was the nucleus of many new ideas.

During the business meeting of the District, the Women’s work of the District voted to raise $300 for the Anniversary campaign.

Several graduates and former students were elected to important executive positions in the conference. Next year the meeting is to be at McPherson, and C. E.

Senior Class Meets Tuesday

The Senior class met Tuesday at 12:45 for a short session. The chief discussion of the meeting was to decide whether or not the seniors would have their pictures for the Quadrangle taken in their caps and gowns. It was voted that they would not.

The matter of having a picture on the class invitations was discussed somewhat.

The committees for the Freshman-Senior Kid party are at work and a good crowd Is expected for the occasion.

Initiation Services, Breakfast.

Games. Comprise Program

The Initiation of the new Thespian members was as much fun for the spectators as it was for the initiated. Friday morning the now members were entertained by the old members to a hike and breakfast. Because of the fact that some people Just couldn't make it by six o’clock they rode out to the Boy Scout's camp in George's Ford. (Only sixteen.)

While breakfast was being pre-pared all kinds of games, stunts and tricks were played. The chefs thought the fireplace had failed them but it was only Charles Pray who blocked up the hole in the chimney.

On their knees with their heads, bowed to the floor the new members took their oath of membership. To complete this oath they each present ed a skit for the entertainment of the rest.

They were told how to dress and what to say for the rest of the day. There were very few people who didn't hear the little speech from Shakespeare about "Reputation,” my Reputatjon.” They did show some dramatic ability sometimes and their costume* added to the solemnity of the scene.

A musical program was presented In World Service meeting last evening at 6:45 in the Y. W. room.

The program consisted of a vocal solo. "The Living God.” by O'Hara. Max Wilbur; violin solo. Frances Campbell: ladles trio. "My Jesus. I Love Thee.” Helen Eaton.

Prof. Hess Talks About Roman Life

Delving deep into the life of the ancient Romans, Professor M. A. Hess brought to the students in chapel Tuesday some of the details of their existence.

The Romans ate just what they had, and what they had depended somewhat on geographical and climatic conditions. Their main foods were fruits, vegetables, meats, cereals. and dairy products. They had neither tea nor coffee. They usually partook of three meals a day and dinner in the evening is a development of a later Roman custom. Their menus were very extensive and a din-ner was a real occasion, sometimes lasting from three to four hours.

The outer garment of the Roman was a heavy undyed woolen garment known as the toga. The then wore no hats, and the hairdress of the women was very elaborate.

The houses had few windows, but had a hole in the roof through which rain and light was admitted. Houses were built of concrete primarily. At first roofs were made of straw, but later shingles and tile were used.

Furniture was scarce and, strange to say, they had no mirrors. Houses of the wealthy were well built, but others were very poor.

Keith Pierce, from the Senior high school, sang "If I Had a Thousand Lives to Live" and "When Big Pro-fundo Sang Low C."

Gift To Library

Season Lyceum Course Planned

2nd Number Nov. 5

Whiting Williams, Author, Lectur-er and Industrial Consultant To Speak on Labor Problems

Two of the best of this season's lyceum numbers will be presented on successive evenings November 4 and 5. The first feature is the Master Singers, an outstanding male octette. An idea of their skill and ability as entertainers ran best be obtained by reading what others think about this unusual vocal en-semble. Glenn Dillard, reporting for the Chicago Herald and Examiner, expresses the feeling of Eastern listeners. "... It is without question the finest ensemble of its kind in the history of Chicago ... we fell under the spell of the song, so varied so expressive, and so often filled with the most stirring kind of drama . . . they seemingly know how to balance the serious and gay ... In all they showed export interpretative art, a lively sense of value of contrast, a nice appreciation of the artistic worth of restraint . . . Beautiful music, beautifully sung."

November 6. Whiting Williams. Industrial consultant, author, and lecturer will speak to McPherson listeners on problems of the laborer. As vice-president in charge of a Cleveland steel company's personnel. Whiting Williams, In 1919. needed first-hand information about his steel workers: so he put a few dollars in his pocket, changed his name, put on overalls, and became a Journeyman laborer in America’s mines and factories. His report of "What’s on the Worker's Mind" was so human, and timely that it had to be made by book, magazine, and speech from Maine to California.

He has traveled and worked similarly in many foreign countries. During this time he has made constant reports and interpretations to the leading national magazines and before Harvard, Dartmouth, Wharton, and other universities, besides numberless other groups of every kind throughout America.

Various Commissions Hold Group Meetings

Group meetings of the various commissions of the S. C. M. were held yesterday morning at 9 o'clock.

The Cooperative Movement was discussed by the World Cooperation group and was led by Professor Bowman."He pointed out the difference between the competitive systemand the consumers’ cooperative movement. One of the principal Ideas of the latter Is that It is not based on making money, but on getting everything at cost.

The Creative Leisure commission painted flower pots and some started soap carving. The designing and painting a stained glass emblem for the SCM organization is to be work-ed on at the next meeting.

The Personal and Family Relations group continued their discussion of dutch dating from the pre-vious meeting. they also discussed, the dating situation as a whole, group dating as to whether it would facilitate more dating on the campus, reasons for not more dating, and the posibility of getting away from the idea of dating and having friendships instead.

"Significance of Baptism" was discussed by Alvin Lindgren in the Reinterpretation of Religion commission. Group discussion centered about baptism as one of the Initial steps of a life committment

The College is working out plans for the organization of an employment agency for college students similar in operation to the National Reemployment Agencies.

The student will register his name and qualifications, the hours he can work, and any other information that will enable the advisors to help him secure the type of work for which he is fitted. Many students are eager to take advantage of this opportunity and the College urges uptown business men to cooperate as much as possible.

Scholarship Given By Leland Enberg

Leland Engberg, a former student of McPherson college and a major in the department of chemistry, has established a scholarship for the department of Chemistry. This scholarship amounts to $50 a year and will be paid by Mr. Engberg. The scholarship is to be a research scholarship assigned to som competent student in the Department of Chemistry on the basis of merit. A student will be nominated by the bond of the department and will be confirmed by the administration.

Mr. Engborg was a student here during the years 1931-1934. He graduated from the University of Louisiana last spring. He majored in Chemistry and is now employed by the Carey Laboratories in Hutchinson as a research chemist. He is but a young man and this dream of giving the college a scholarship was born during his college days, and now in the first year of his employment, he has decided to establish the scholarship.

The action of this fine young man should be suggestive to other alumni of the college. The College is very grateful to Mr. Engberg for this generous gift.

Thespian Club is

Entertained on Hike

Friday night saw another in the series of carefully planned programs of the new social committee of the

In carrying out the attempt to provide only new and original types of entertainment for all-school socials, the committee planned a program in which was introduced the recreation of party games, a new style of recreation brought back from the Creative Leisure Conference at Washburn and the regional student SCM conference at Estes. Miss Warner was in charge of this part of the program.

Students Give Night Program

Program Is Varied

College students, in the absence of the pastor, presented the program for the regular church services last Sunday evening at 7 o'clock. There was no C. E.

The program consisted of a violin, solo by Frances Campbell; a reading, "The Shadow of the Cross.” by Elma Minnick; and two talks, “College Youth and the Religious World", and "College Youth and the Economic World," given by Lucille Ul-lery and Billy Thompson respectively..

“Many students come to college still adolescently minded in religious matters," Miss Ullery said. "Four channels which lead to religious growth and development are the church, of which there are various parts such as the Sunday-school, Christian Endeavor and church services; our College classes, which throw new light upon the Interpretation of the Bible and presents now meanings of it to us; various religious clubs and organizations, which meet many needs of the students; and the Individual or personal religion, which Is a necessity when a student has a problem which must be solved by only he, and in which he feels the need of a spiritual guidance."

Miss Ullery concluded by saying that when a student goes out into the world, the habits he has formed in college will remain with him. It is therefore very necessary that he forms the best religious habits now.

"The student’s life in the economic world at the present time and the definite place which he is looking forward to be in within a few years in that world are two aspects which might he considered under this topic." stated Thompson. "To con-alder what place ho is to find in a few years, he asks two questions: "What am I going to do " and "What am I going to got from doing It?"

"Three things that depend upon his success in the economic world arc the student himself, of whom college molds and shapes his personality; the vocation he chooses, for he must select an occupation which is in demand; and the preparation he makes. One preparation extends after college life until he is firmly established in the economic world.

"What does the economic world think of graduates coming into Its bounds " asked Thompson. "Many college graduates detest beginning at the bottom and working up. but the economic world still expects Students to do It."

To conclude, Thompson explained that the student sees a discouraging picture of extreme poverty contracted with enormous wealth and that the economic, world challenges the student to apply his religious principles to these situations.

The second of a series of inter-class debates was held last Tuesday evening at seven o’clock the auditorium. Representing the freshman class were Addison West and Fred Horton, who debated the question in the negative and representing the sophomore class were Phillip Davis and Bill Thompson affirmative. The Judges gave the decision to the affirmative. The question: Resolved, that Congress should be empowered to fix maximum hours and minimum wages for industry.

Last week the negative won the decision. Kenneth Weaver and Willard Flaming, negative, represented the senior class, and Alberta Keller and Alvin Lindgren, affirmative, represented the junior class. Next week the winners of these two debates will determine the championship of the school.

pound was worth $4.86 In 1931 this business man would have received 205.7 pounds for his $1.000. At the present time the pound is worth only $3.00, thus the same $1,000 would now exchange for 333.3 pounds. Barring a change in the price of British goods end a fluctuation in American currency, the American business man will gain 127.6 pounds because Britain has devalued its currency. In actuality the gain is seldom so great since the price level generally rises when a nation’s currency is cheapened. Still the net gain for the American business man in this case would be 127.6 pounds minus the rise in the price of the commodity purchased. It is therefore quite obvious that devaluation will foster a na-tion’s exports.

Because France has steadfastly refused to devalue her currency in spite of American and British devaluation her foreign trade has buffered tremendously. The tourist trade of Franc has dwindled to almost three-fourths of its pre-depression high. Realizing this the Senate abd Chamber of France after three days and nights of debate authorized the Blum cabinet to reduce the value of the franc 30 per cent. Along with move the French government has re-duced tariffs on manufactured articles 15 per cent on semi-finished goods 17 1/2 per cent, on raw stuffs. 20 per cent.

Certainly these steps taken by France are a decisive blow-to Nationalism. Ever since the war tariffs, embargoes and quotas have been the rage; Nationalism has been a byword. Trade has been restricted and consequently areas of tension have: become more strained. The goal of self-sufficiency of many European States has further accentuated the raze for nationalism. France’s devaluation move and tariff redaction and America’s reciprocal trade agreements are a move In the opposite direction. Certainly those who believe that war is an outgrowth of economic problems and lack of International trade and cooperation should hail this as a step in the right direction.

W. F.

bad off as before, no dates on the one hand and an unsatisfactory situation on the other.

Right along with this we must admit that there is another difficulty. There are many students who do not go steady and you can not expect a boy to ask for a dutch date on the first occasion that he dates a girl.

We have looked at some of the difficulties that are involved with this practice but most of them can be met in one way or another. The S. C. M. Cabinet seems to have hit upon a fairly satisfactory way in which to get this type of thingstarted. They seem to think that group dating would be one way in which to start. Does any one see any serious drawback to this method?

The idea of the S. C. M. cabinet is good but there is no reason why it could not function in another way.

I believe that dutch dating could be a success if the boys would ask for the date and then the girl suggest that it be dutch. Thus the girl would not be chasing and the boys would also have a satisfactory set-up. Who knows, it might work.

For masculine party-gamers who bow to us fair ladies and bob up with silly grins of embarrassment on your faces, we suggest a study of the knightly technique of Dr. Boitnot. As for me, in this matter of dropping a pretty feminine curtsy. I shall have to wear tennis shoes to stabilize my ankle when the one foot slips out cautiously behind the other heel, or hold my arms outstretched and shoulder-high to maintain my balance.

Just discovered: that a tall blond has loomed up for our dean of women; that tombstones can become alive If they are read right; that the male quartette is sounding plenty good; that we need a new gymnasium if for no other reason than to match the merits of Miss Warner and our rip-roaring football team.

For the past few weeks there has been quite a heated discussion concerning dutch dates. Of course, there are those who are for and those who are against this practice. It seems that it is not just the boys or just the girls upon one side or the other. They seem to be quite evenly divided.

There have been many suggestions as to how we should overcome this difficulty that we have in coming to an agreement between both sexes so this can go into practice. Some of the girls and boys too advocate that the girls should do the asking in case there Is to be this type of date.

One can easily see the drawbacks for both the girls and boys. In the first place the boys would accuse the girls of chasing them if the girls had to do the asking. On the other hand there would be no dates because the girls would find it difficult to ask for the dates. Thus they would find themselves In the same situation that the bashful boys do and there would be no dates forthcoming. Then we would be just as

One of the most heartening factors on the international horizon is the recent devaluation of the franc. After holding tenaciously to its high gold standard for five years after Great Britain devalued the pound and three years after the United States devalued the dollar. France has finally swung into line and made monetary agreements with both of the above named countries. Almost to a man commentators praise this move.

Frank Kent of the Baltimore Sun says, "It (currency stabilization) is a step of great importance over which there should be rejoicing among those who believe that international cooperation and currency stabilization are vital to world recovery."

Walter Lippman, commentator for the New York Herald Tribune Syndicate of 139 newspapers: takes the following stand, If the stabilization measures which have now at last been taken had been taken then, the world would have been spared a vast amount of human suffering, the most dangerous phase of the economic de-pression, and almost certainly the worst of the social and international disorders which have been so ser-iously aggravated since 1931."

Dorothy Thompson, also of the New York Herald Tribune Syndi-cate, states that. "It is difficult to overestimate the importance of the stabilization agreement whether in the field of intentional or domestic economics or politics, it is like the cutting of an abscess which has been poisoning the whole world."

ed in a devaluation move and its implications are a deep mystery to the average citizen. The process, however is not as complicated as it appears. For the sake of clarification let us take the example of the pound devaluation in England. Before England devalued the pound in 1931 it was worth $4.86 in American money. Within a few months the pound was worth only $3.00. Let us suppose that an American busines man has $1.000 to buy British goods. Before he can complete the transaction he will have to exchange his American money for British money. Since the

National Program Conducted By P. C. I.

A Nation-wide program, of soil conservation and water control which is to be integrated with similar programs conducted by the Soil Conservation Service, the Department of Agriculture, state highway departments, and other allied groups was launched yesterday by the National Youth Administration.

Youth directors In the several states are now being authorized to submit projects for the erection of small dams, terracing operations, the planting of cover vegetation, as-sembling of rainfall and run-off data, and other work Involved in the broad plan of soil conservation.

Unemployed young men between 18 and 25 will be employed on such work, while unemployed women in the same age group will engage in the preparation of exhibits and other educational material designed to promote the general cause of conservation in the schools, community centers, and elsewhere.

Conservation will be a dominant part of our work program during the next six months or more." Richard R. Brown. Deputy Executive Director of NYA, said yesterday in commenting on this new development.

"Not only is such work extremely necessary to the economic welfare of the Nation, but its training and educational value for young workers adapts It particularly well to the NYA."

General features of the program were approved by officials here following their attendance upon the Up-Stream Engineering Conference which extended through most of last week. Youth Directors and their aides from a number of interested states were brought into Washington to attend sessions of this group in order that they might heroine familiar with the technical aspects of the problem. In a spearate meeting on Friday details for (he specific cooperation of NYA were worked out with the assistance of leaders of tho Up-Stream Engineering Conference.

The program will not call for any additional outlays of money. Mr. Brown pointed out. but will form an Important phase of the regular work program for which allocations totaling approximately $10,000,000 already have been made.

Projects of this nature will be conducted under the sponsorship either of other agencies already engaged in conservation work or those, such as state highway, park, and forest departments, which have a special Interest in the program. Technical and engineering supervision will be furnished by the sponsors, while the NYA will provide the labor.

Mr. Brown said that no estimate was possible at this time either of the number of youths or the amount of money which the NYA would Invest In the program.

"Each Slate Director will work out a program to fit the needs of his state." he declared. "In some of the Middle Western states, the percentage of both youths and funds may run close to forty per cent of quota allowances, while come In the Bast may find that relatively little conservation work needs to be done.

It’s only natural, of course, but the sunflowers seem to be drooping more every day.

Floy and Oliver seem to enjoy the new moon, which, by the way. Is seeming to shine for some of the rest of us too.

Hare yon heard yet why Chisholm’s carload of McPherson-Baker-game fans decided to make that last minute trip back up town even after they had arrived out at the stadium?

Tsk, tsk, you musicians that drive to Salina for culture and then are seen In a restaurant after the performance ordering beer. From what Miss Sheets tells about Germany the spirit of Strauss and Wagner would be more characteristically maintained by something more Inspiring than Budweiser.

tors in all of the states has been most enthusiastic, however, and I contemplate pretty general adoption of conservation projects throughout the country."

One state, he pointed out—Texas —already has devised its conservation program and will have approximately 1,000 youths at work within two weeks.

The program there is under the sponsorship of Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College and has received the active support of Governor James V. Allred.

Among the types of projects which have been suggested as suitable for operation under the NYA are surveys for soil conservation terraces, diversion channels, gully retards, check dams, preparation and operation of silt measurement gauges, planting of vegetative covering on eroded areas, collection of run-off and precipitation data. etc.

In addition to such actual constructive work, young people will engage in an active campaign of educating their communities to the needs and benefits of proper conservation practices. This will be accomplished through the preparation of exhibits of many kinds and the organization of forums and discussion groups.

Dignified

Students Become Kids

Can you. students of our fair college. Imagine Dave Metzger in rompers? Or Mike playing contentedly (and quietly!) with his Teddy Bear? If you can't then Just snatch a look at our dignified seniors and our would-be-dignified freshmen when they revert to their not-so-long-past childhood days, and go to the Freshman-Senior Kid Party on Saturday night. Dignity and Sophistication will be wrapped in cellophane, laid away, and labeled "Do not open until after Kid Party." (They do say that the seniors give this party to be "nice to the freshies, but we think the real reason Is so they'll have an excuse to be "a child again, just for tonight."

There'll be a real Kiddie Heaven —complete with balloons, games, all-day suckers, and what-have-you. So come one, come all. ye freshmen and seniors and forget your college status long enough to turn Time backward in his flight. A good time is assured you.

Geneva. N. Y.. (ACP)—Dr. William Alfred Eddy, president of Hobart and William Smith Colleges, rocked the world of education when he announced a four-year course in responsible citizenship as a requirement for a bachelors degree in his Institutions.

Before an Inauguration day audience of 2.000 persons. Including representatives of more than 150 colleges and universities and the Judiciary of New York State, President Eddy said:

"We believe that the worth of the state in the long run is the worth of the individuals composing it: that irresponsible citizens cannot hope to set up a responsible government; that dishonest Individuals cannot expect honest public finance: that jingoistic and bellicose people cannot operate a pacific League of Nations: and that aloof, fastidious scholars will not turn into alumni impassioned for social Justice.”

"The theory that a liberal education will make a citizen responsible automatically is attractive but untrue. The truth is that a student is infected by the enthusiams of his campus, whatever they may be. Football. science, literature, or art claim his interest his life long; but where Main street and the town hall are treated as beneath the scholar's contempt, the alumnus Is, not unnaturally. equally prone to carry that contempt to the grove."

Declaring himself In favor of active promotion of athletics and every other form of activity on both campuses. Dr. Eddy said:

"I have been puzzled at the notion sometimes expressed that enthusiasm for football Is hostile to the intellectual life, as though the lethargy of the classroom would disappear if lethargy could somehow be enforced in the gymnasium. I fall to see how exhuberance in athletics, dramatics, or social life inhibits intellectual activity.”

We had notions 'bout professors That you would never know Could ever have existed.

And if they ever did sit down Twould be in high backed chairs— But say. I've seen several of 'em Leaning on the stairs.

But when we found they didn't We could hardly b'lieve 'twas true. We thought they lived on crackers— On sardines and tea.

By the way. Just look around Any you will plainly see That they look very much like us. Have foot and leg and knee.

Some are Scotch or French or Swede And some are just plain Dutch! At any rate we're still alive—

And now folks please don't sink When I tell you that I’ve heard That some professors think!

Students Twenty-Third Psalm

The College Professor is my Shephard,

And I am in dire want.

He preventeth me from lying down In the bed that I renteth;

He leadeth me to make A fool of myself before my classmates.

Yea. though I burneth my light Until my landlady howleth,

I fear much evil.

For my prof is against me.

His theories and rantings

Frighteneth my wits from me He assigneth me extra Work as a punishment In the presence-of mine enemies.

He anointenth my quiz paper with red Ink

And my zeroes filleth a whole column.

.Surely theories, exams and themes will follow me All the days of my college careen And I will dwell In the bug-house forever.

Bulldogs Defeat

Baker Wildcats

Coach "Bud" Selves McPherson Bulldogs eked out a 6-0 victory Friday, afternoon over the Baker Wildcats to remain at the top of the Kansas Conference standings. It was the first football victory for McPherson on the Baker field in twenty years.

After the Bulldogs took advantage of a scoring opportunity early in the first quarter, neither team seriously threatened the goal line. The Bakerites fought bravely after McPherson scored, making numerous determined drives, but were usually held on the twenty-yard line. Twice they reached the five-yard line, but lost the ball on downs.

The game had barely begun when the Canines received their golden opportunity. Baker kicked off and recovered the ball when a McPherson player couldn’t hold It. They punted after gaining nothing on line plunges. Haun countered with a beautiful kick to the opponent’s fifteen-yard line. On the next play, a Baker player fumbled, and Rock, McPherson center, recovered. Then Zuhars tossed a twelve-yard pass to Haun. who dodged an opponent and trotted across the goal line. His kick from place incut was wide, but the Bulldogs led 6 to 0 before two minutes had passed.

The Canines had another scoring chance a few minutes later when Zuhars caught a Buker punt, followed perfect Interference, and was In the clear when Smith. Baker's quar-termiler. overtook him on the twenty-yard line with a desperate leap. Zuhars’s run through the Orangemen was good for fifty yards.

The excellent work of Haun and Zuhars figured prominently In the battle while the fine blocking and severe tackling of the secondary was no less spectacular. Yards from scrimmage and posses, and down figured about even, but the edge was In favor of the Bulldogs.

Sport Skits

One Bulldog ₍ goalward drive against Baker was halted by the final gun. McPherson had advanced to the ten-yard line after McGill's interception of a Baker pass. It was first down sod goal to go for the Canines, and the Orangemen were tiring fast.

Kansas Wesleyan continued to exhibit great scoring ability with a 38 to 0 victory over Ottawa. They returned the opening kick-off 96 yards for the first touchdown. Two tumbles and an Intercepted pass result ed In three more scores

.Holman, Baker fullback, was a —. constant threat to the Bulldogs. He returned several punts for good gains, and made numerous line thrusts. Once under way, he was hard to atop. He aided greatly in

College of Emporia resumed her winning tendencies Friday with another close score. The Presbies have won four games this year—three with one touchdown margin, and the other with a inference of one point. They have scored 33 points to their opponents’ 19.

•’The football team as a whole appreciates the splendid delegation that followed us to Baldwin for the Baker game. We want to thank the group for all the cheering, which helped the team’s spirit a great deal, and contributed toward our victory."

Mike is undoubtedly right about the cheering. Someone commented that the cheering section there made more noise than the entire student body does at home. The group felt like yelling after contributing a tidy sum jo see the game. Maybe Baker's paying for Ha new stadium in that way! !

Ruben Harzman, nimble C. of E. quarterback, has scored all their touchdowns—one in each of five games. He looks like one of the best football players in Kansas, and seems destined to gain the pro-ranks after graduation.

McPherson players would rather play football at night than In the afternoon! No alibis, but-—they say they didn't feel as fresh and ready to play Friday as they did for former games. No one was injured but it was necesary to relieve several, players for a few minutes.

'Emporia.’’ says Ruben Harzman. is their best since the days of Harold Grant." How about Lester .Selves, wasn't be pretty fair In his day?

Wouldn't It be swell to have Mc-Pherson and Kansas Wesleyan undefeated until-Thanksgiving Day and meet here to decide the cham-pionship?
