Students speeding to their homes would show in a magnificent way, their sincere appreciation of McPherson College, by promoting a spirit that will make December 5, McPherson College Day, as the greatest achievement in the history of McPherson College.

McPherson Day On December 5
Churches of College Territory Planning To Begin Drive For College Funds
Funds Imperative
Larger Non-Student Contributions Necessary For N. C. A.
Reports coming in indicate that many of the congregations in the Mc-Pherson College territory aro planning to observe December 5 as McPherson College Day in their churches.
McPherson College Is making application for admission to the North Central Association of Colleges this year, and the college feels that its chance of being admitted are exceptionally good.
To clinch the matter and make it as sure as possible, the college needs to be able to report the receipt of a substantial amount of cash from the churches in the college’s constituency, for current income from non-student sources is a very important factor in the rating of McPherson College.
December 5. is being set aside as McPherson College Day, at which time everyone who has not already contributed or who wishes to make additional contributions to the college may do so.
In places where a direct solicitation wus made last year and in some commusities where drought has again taken its toll an offering may not be possible. But wherever possible it is the hope of McPherson College that the churhces may cooperate to the end that the current expense budget of the year may be met.

Women’s Council Discussion Group Study Feminine Art
“Make-up and how to apply it." was the subject used in the Women’s Council discussion group. Tuesday evening November 16.
Lucile Cole opened the meeting with some practical pointers on the care of the skin, powder and how to use it, how to choose rouge and apply it and the amount and kind of lipstick most desirable.
Frances Campbell made-up Sara Jane Olwin with the correct amount and the right application of cleansing cream, powder, rouge, lipstock and mascara. During this demonstration Frances talked about the best kinds of make-up for the different types of skin and hair and the proper time to wear make-up.
Gracele Kindig was made-up with en excess amount of rouge, powder and lipstick to show the unattrac-tiveness of too rough make-up, which is a common fault of many girls. The last model was Kathryn Dobbins Lucile Cole made-up one side of Kathyrn’s face only to show that some make-up is used with descre-tion is desirable.
Since the use of make-up is so general, this meeting on proper application in an artistic manner proved of great value to those present.
Dean R. E. Mohler of the McPherson college faculty and assistant to the president is a busy man from the. standpoint of how many speeches he will give this week.

Musical Pupils Of Crawford, Fisher, Lingenfelter and Brown Perform
"What Are You Going to Do In Life?” Subject of Evangelist
Rev. Harper Will, from Wenatchee, Washington, was the guest chapel speaker for the three chapel period last week. On Friday, November 12, Mr. Will used as his subject 'What are you going to do in life?
The quotation front Horace Mann ’Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity', was used as a theme. "Old People", said Mr. Will, "often wish they might live their life over." In the life of youth today there seems to be two principle passions—pleasure and profit.
The people of America don't know how to have a good time. Too many say eat, drink and be merry. This philosophy of pleasure is wrong. One should have a good time but one's aim should be higher than pleasure.
For profit people will go us far as to kidnap or steal from the dead. "It is better." said Mr. Will, "to have a big job with little salary rather than a little job with a big salary.” Many Americans follow the dollar but there are those who cannot be bought.
"There is just one goal", declared Harper Will, "worthy of a life and that is service." There are many thistles in the society of today and we should use our life to. pluck out these thistles and plant in their place roses.
In closing Rev. Will urged that we should makes Christ the servant of servants, our example. We should forget about ourselves, our pleasures and profits and go out into the world and lift.
Any old rags or old clothes today? Dig them out, for the W. A. A. girls will be looking for the worst when they start getting ready for the Tacky party Friday night. This is the first get together of their entire membership that the girls have had this year.
And what fun they ore going to have when the clock strikes eight in the air-cooled gymnasium! The best dressed, or should I say, the poorest dressed will be rewarded. They will play games, dressed in their glad rags, and, will in the end, be refreshed as all rag dolls should be after an evening of gaiety.
Now don’t you boys wish you could be a W. A. A girl "just for tonight"?
Gertrude Myers has moved into Arnold Hall and Phil Myers and Dwight Hoerner have moved into Fahnestock Hall.
Pictures To Chemistry Club

The next meeting will not be held until Thursday, December 2. The public is cordially invited.

Facts that have stirred churches to action are such as these: between 1938 and 1936 the national income in the United States has increased 61 per cent, while the contributions to the churches and philanthropic causes have actually decreased. Specifically, these are the facts. Using 1932 as a base, 1936 showed the following relative result:
National Income, increased 61 per cent.
Money spent for jewelry, increased 25 per cent.
Money spent for army and navy, increased 30 per cent.
Money spent for theatres, increased 41 per cent.
Money spent for cigarettes, increased 48 per cent.
Money spent for autos, increased 203 per cent.
Money spent for whiskey. increased 220 per cent.
Money spent for steel production, increased 248 per cent.

If the moral uplift and religious causes of America are to do the work that is so sorely needed in these days, there must ho a national awak-ening on the matter of Stewardship

Only about 2.1 per cent of our incomes goes for these causes. The Biblical norm for giving was 10 per cent. The government exempts 16 per cent of our income from taxation if given to benevolences. This movement purposes to lift the national giving from its present low level to approach the Biblical level.
Christian colleges have suffered along with all these other agencies during this slump in giving. It seems tragic that when the national Income is increasing. giving to these causes should actually decrease. Why not in this time of need increase our giving as our income increases?
Since McPherson College is in a special campaign that is very urgent, and since the government exempts if given to benevolent causes, we appeal to readers of this bulletin that they take the benefit of this worthy tion and contribute to this worthy and most urgent cause in these closing weeks of the year 1937. Do it now and accomplish two ends: help the cause, and assure your tax ex-emption.
To the college Christian Endeavor group. Reverend Harper Will gave a challenging question. "Who is it or what in it that controls your life?"
Harper Will declared that the success of life or the failure in life depends upon who is at the wheel. He exemplified by comparing the automobile to life. He declared, "The automobile is the most valuable yet the most dangerous machine we have today. In 1936 38,000 people we're killed by the automobile alone. Who's at the wheel of the automobile depends on whether beneficial or dangerous."
"There are some students that menace the higher levels of society." Will declared. "There are other students are vital in preserving the spirit of the college." He then continued that this is the age of freedom; the spirit of today is liberty and everyone will fight for it "But, he insisted, "there is always something that is at the controls of our lives."
Did you see the comment on the S. C. M. poster advertising the program to be given by the "Lindsburg" group?
The hoary trees certainly showed the effects of the mischief Jack Frost painted during the night indeed, the nights are beautiful with the fir trees bowing low with their snow-laden boughs and the big full moon making the winter stone so visible.
The "divine" messages were sent and received with much fervor. About Amos' procuring a bachelor of divinity—the bachelor attainment we doubt; the "divine” part we wouldn’t even question.
Everybody's gone "nutty.” At least Dwight and Prof. Dell have gone into the business in a big way They have nuts from Texas, Miss ouri, Iowa and Washington, ranging in all kinds—filberts, pecans, Eng lish walnuts and hickory nuts. The members of the Recreation Council tasted some of the meats with a ravenous zeal.
We’re all looking forward to Thanksgiving vacation with as much eagerness as if it were to extend a whole week. Don't save all your "study-catch-up” until then or you won't be caught up in those two busy days.
for being here. Perhaps Elizabeth Mohler might add to the desirability of the visit, too.
Kieth, we all marvel how that low tone can be emitted from such a little manipulated speech organ. However the sound gets out—we love to hear that big "profundo sing low C."
Did you ever hear Bob "Wagon” "vibrate”? Phyllis Barngrover and Russell Kingsley did—so Phyllis ejaculated as Bob was singing.
A Thanksgiving dinner came early for the girls of the Women's Council. We were royally entertained and fed at the Heckman home by Miss Shock-ley and Vera.
Let's all go home with Norine Clark over the vacation. I overheard a remark that the eighteen pound turkey would decorate the table on that day. THE was used because the story went on— the other tur-key would be consumed at some earlier date.
Avis Smith, in a civilized society we just don’t use white shoe polish for toothpaste.
Virla Mae Jack now has her reverie when she's alone in her room with her radio. It seemed HE thought a radio would be a good substitute for his voice. It is, Virla Mae? We all think it's a lovely sub-stitute.
The Union Thanksgiving sermon will be held in the Church of the Brethren at nine o’clock Thanksgiving morning. The service will be under the direction of Rev. C. Ernest Davis. The Rev. B. C. Witham of the First Baptist Church will deliver the sermon and several other of the ministers of the city will participate in the service. The offering will be for the united charities of the city. The service will close at ten o'clock.
"Christ is the safe pilot. He will show the way to make life the most useful and the most successful, "declared Will. "Christ summarized truth better than any philosopher." He continued that Christ had said “I am the way—” and "Follow me —his followers have discovered that He is the way.
In concluding his address Harper Will cited the life of Dr. Wildford Grenville, missionary to Labrador Through the influence of Dr. Dwight L. Moody. Grenville met the challenge of Christ and went into the frozen North, as a medical missionary. "There is a future for anyone who accepts Jesus Christ." he declared. "Lot Christ have full liberty and he will open a road for everyone."

Old Man Winter Traveling South As Cold North Wind Goes “Poof"
Patronize Spectator Advertisers.
Winter is here, tra-la, tra-la! Monday morning old man north wind puffed out his cheeks and with a mighty "poof" let go his freezing breath—a drastic change from the lovely Indian summer we have been enjoying. Then, preceded by rain end icy sleet, lacey white snow flakes scurried to blanket the ground, and transform barren trees into cold white statues.
Immediately heavy overcoats were brought out—"The wind is blowing. the snow is snowing, but I can weather the storm, cause I've got my coat to keep me warm."
Slowly and carefully students go up and down the steps—some on their feet, and some, well-l-ll, in a much quicker and graceful (ahem) manner. Will someone invent shock-absorbers?
With cries of delight fun-makers rush to make the most of the season’s first snow-fall. Wham! that snowball hit its mark.

it?
“Everyone can secure a good les-son from athletics. It seems that, a lesson learned from athletics stays with us just a little longer. Cooperation is one of the bases of athletics and sports. This can also be applied in everyday living. Know each other. Work with each other. In his prime, Babe Ruth was receiving $80,000 a year for 3 years. In his field, he was probably the greatest the world has ever known. However, this did not keep him from being human. The “Babe” was full of sympathy and kindness.
Babe Ruth Episode
One time the ball club was returning from spring training camp. It had rained all day in the part of Tennessee through which they were passing and they reached their destination about 1:30 in the morning. No sooner had the "Babe" gone to bed than there was a knock on the door. He opened the door and there stood a grizzled old mountaineer holding a baseball in his hand. The old follow told how his boy had waited all his life to see Babe Ruth and now he had infantile paralysis and he could not see him and that he wished the "Babe" would autograph this baseball. The “Babe" asked him how far it was to his Hume. The man told him that it was 15 miles. In a few minutes the "Babe" was dressed and ready to ride in an old wagon to see the boy who could not otherwise have seen him. Babe Ruth returned the next day just in time to play in the exhibition game scheduled in that town.
The "Babe" had it and know how to use it.
Faith is one of the prerequisites of life and together with sincerity one may enjoy a full life.

raggled, don't blame her—she is defenseless against that big brute who picks her up, rolls her in the snow, washes her face, and stuffs mud and snow in her mouth.
Did you notice how beautiful it was outside Monday night? Everything wrapped in ermine and a deep blue sky in contrast—Just like on Christmas cards. However, not many couples were out strolling around as per usual, enjoying the splendors of a beautiful winter’s night. Br-r-r, too cold!
All this snow brings one to the
realization that Thanksgiving is not so far in the future. Has your
hatchet been sharpened? If so, then beware you gobbler. A red hot oven awaits your fattened figure, and your feather will decorate next year’s hats. Gobble, gobble! Yum, yum!
The Washburn Puppeteers appear-ed at the college chapel Wednesday evening and gave to their audience
an hour of elaborate, vaudeville entertainment.
The children of the town wore given transportation to the college for the afternoon performance. A large number were present. For the evening performance many college students and townspeople were present.
Millard Bryan, director of the novelty show, gave a brief introduction after which a two-part program was featured. The first part consisted of Jack-and-the-Bean-Stalk. The second part consisted of vaudeville acts which was completed by the Little German Band. We compliment the Washburn Marionette Showmen on their fine entertainment.

Astle Referees Games
Canine Coach, Prominent Tooter of Central Kansas
In addition to his numerous duties as a coach and instructor. Coach "Buck" Astle has officiated at many football games during this season. He was an outstanding whistle tooter in the Kansas City territory and sports men now welcome him to the officiating ranks of Central Kansas.
This year "Buck” has covered games at the Wichita high schools; Hutchinson Junior College; Mid-Kansas League members Buhler. Inman, and Moundridge; McPherson and Salina high schools in the Central Kansas League; and Emporia Teachers.
Now that he Is well-established in McPherson. Astle has already slated several larger high school and college basketball games this winter and perhaps he will even handle a few Missouri Valley A. A. U. games.
To complete a hectic grid season, Coach Astle's scrappy McPherson College Bulldogs will clash with the highly-touted Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes at Salina on Thanksgiving Day.
Nothing would please Coach Astle and the men more than a rousing victory over Mackie's proteges. This year the underdog Canines are In a perfect psychological situation to upset the northern rivals in the Turkey Day classic.
By virtue of triumphs over Sterling, Haskell, Morningside, Ottawa, C. of E., and Baker, the heavy Methodists hare an advantage. Only Bethany and Warrensburg were able to down them.
With such stars as Bates, Baer, Van Cleef, Chartier, Shaw, and Doc Watson on their lineup, the Salinans have an impressive squad. Regardless of victories, stars, or whatnot, the Bulldogs have resolved to deflate the Coyotes. This game will finish the college football careers of Martin Seidel, Capt. Don Barngrover, and Lawrence Boyer, who are senior linemen.
Many McPherson college students are planning to attend the important tilt and some are even delaying their trips home in order that they can give the team their whole-hearted support. All students can display the true M. C. spirit by encouraging the players, who are working hard for this last game of the season.

Conference Chatter—
Here it is—our all-conference team which is based upon individual performances against McPherson. Although the season isn't finished, it is evident who is eligible.
Ends: Killfoil, Bethany: Von Arb, Ottawa.
Tackles: Harrop, Ottawa; Bates, Wesleyan.
Guards: Brown, Baker; Mettner, Bethany.
Center: Davidson. Baker.
Quarterback: Ireland, Bethany.
Halfbacks: Fitzpatrick, Ottawa; Watson. Wesleyan.
Fullback: Warren, Bethany.
Alternates: Barngrover, tackle, McPherson; McGill, end, McPherson; Wasson, guard, C. of E.: Haun, halfback. C. of E : Delafield. halfback, Baker; and Mattis, fullback, Ottawa.
Of course a suitable non-conference all-star team could be picked from Kearney Teachers. , Hastings Bethel, and Haskell, but we'll confine our efforts to the Kansas Conference.
For certain reasons, we were not sorry that Ottawa dethroned Bethany 14-6 or that Kansas Wesleyan downed Baker 19-6. Both Baker and Bethany received the breaks to beat McPherson and their defeats only make the race more interesting
Four conference teams close their grid season this week. While the Bulldogs remain idle. Ottawa will clash with C. of E. at Emporia and Kansas Wesleyan is host to Kirks-ville (Mo.) tonight. Bethany battles Baker at Baldwin tomorrow after-noon in a game which may decide the title.

Football Fades As Basketball Looms ,
Football is about to fade from the sports picture at McPherson college and baskethall aspirants have be-gun daily workouts at the gymnasium.
The basketball prospects are very favorable this year with sixteen veterans of the first and second teams back to form the nucieus of Coach Astle's 1938 cage crop. A large group of freshmen are also expected to report.
These sixteen basketeers include Chet Johnson. Don Barngrover, Dave McGill. Roy Robertson. Ronald Flory. Bob Wiegand, Tony Voshell, Harold Mohler, Joelle Letkeman, Russell Kingsley, Kurt Naylor, Gordon Yoder, Dan Zook, Eddie Diehl, Wayne Albright, and Bill Fry.
An attractive basketball schedule is being arranged and after the Kansas Wesleyan grid classic on Thanksgiving Day, preparations for a long season will begin in earnest.
