Dean of College Urges Self Discipline to Overcome Obstacles

"Conflicts are blessings.” Dr. J. Daniel Bright. Dean of McPherson College, declared before the chapel assembly Monday morning.

"Life Is made up of conflicts but it must not be made up entirely of conflicts'., he continued. He then explained that some conflicts are detrimental, such as the present Spain and China crisis. "Life is not good if everything comes out as you desire it; it needs obstacles and conflicts to overcome," Bright advised.

Dean Bright then declared that the devil finds the greatest opposition midst some great work. "Life entails pain, blows, kicks, slights, and sneers; only through self-discipline can we arrive at happiness," he declared.

"Personality is the extent to which one makes use of three meals a day to habits that interest people," he admonished. "It has been found that church people have the greater personality." He continued that living a life should be like riding a bicycle, pay as you go. "A diamond becomes beautiful only after it is ground, cut, and refined, and so is life.” the Dean declared.

In summarizing he urged the students to meet their conflicts, not with biterness, but with serene poise." "Our inner self must become calm and strong enough to meet every ob-stacle," he concluded.


New York Hit "Another Language' Chosen By Class


"Another Language” is the title of the play which has been chosen by the senior class for their production this spring. The play, a three-act comedy, gas a cast of eleven characters. It is a brilliant and refreshing drama of modern American family life and one which made an instantaneous hit during the 1931-32 New York season.

Mrs. Franken uses, her-own way of keeping the play steadfastly authentic and so rid of wisecracks and cheap set-ups. Yet she maintains a constantly wise and interesting scrutiny of all concerned.

The essentially comic elements of the play are revealed in the well-observed family scenes, but the undercurrent of genuine drama is felt when things come to a climax, and the revolting girl—tho only one of the lot worth saving—seems to triumph.


A meeting was held Wednesday night to discuss the a capella choir trip. No definite plana were made.

Outstanding Artist Captures Audience


Handsome Dalies Frantz Holds Audience Spellbound For Two Hours


The Cooperative Concert Association presented Dalies Frantz, pianist, in concert at Newton last Monday evening. Mr. Frantz is considered one of the youngest piano soloists in concert. He has triumphed as soloist with many outstanding symphony orchestras and has won exceptional and universal praise from critics.

Dalles Frantz was born in Denver. Colorado, the son of a business man. At an early ago he was considered a wonderchild. Now he is one of the best piano recitalists on tour. Mr. Frantz's program consisted of many varied and beautiful selections.

The first part of his program was In three parts; three chorales by Bach; Rondo in D Major by Mozart, and Sonata in E minor. Opus 90 by Beethoven; and. Variation on a Theme of Paganini. The second part of his program consisted of three parts; six Etudes, three Mazurkas, and Polonaise in A flat major all of which were works of Chopin.

The handsome young artist kept his audience spellbound by his piano technique, rapidity of movement, and majestic appearance. Many townspeople of McPherson were present at the concert, and enjoyed hearing this great, artist.


Comments on the news by Addi-son Saathoff was the main feature of the College B. V. P. D, program, Sunday evening, January 30.

Mr. Saathoff correlated his news items and comments under several main topics, some of which were: church membership and the per cent of really active church members; the inefficiency of the church shown in the fact that there is so much crime a felony committed every two minutes; our educational hierarchy education is passed down to us from teachers and textbooks in such a way that we must learn to discriminate and do independent thinking; social problems, including crime and drinking “more women are educated in saloons than in college."    

Avis Heckman led the devotional service, using the idea that Balance should be a principle in building a life. She said there must be strength, beauty, and durability. Elma Minnick gave a musical reading.


Olive Edgecomb will soon return to her home in Nampa, Idaho.

The Spectator To Begin New Policy!


Prompt Payment of Pledges Urged


Boston. Mass.—(ACP)—A list of study hints for students who are tired of feverishly rushing through belated assignments has been prepared by Prof. Warren T. Powell, bead of the department of student counseling at Boston University.

They Include:

1.    Work under pressure; set a deadline inside of which work must bo accomplished.

2.    Make yourself rise above petty distractions; when they come, accept them, then go back to your studying without losing your stride.

3.    Assume that you are liable for an account of all that you are studying.

4.    Maintain an alert questioning attitude and criticize all that you read.

5. Develop habits of positive at-tack on your studies. Interest sel- dom comes before effort is made in that subject.

6.    Feel an interest in your improvement.

7.    Avoid and control emotional disturbances and fatigue.

During the next semester the Spectator will begin a new policy. Each organization on the campus will have Its reporter, who will be hold respon-sible for all news pertaining to that organization.

Through this method we anticipate greater efficiency in news coverage and also greater realistic coverage of that organization. A member of an organization will understand more fully the activities of that organization than a non-member.

Any faculty member, whose department does not have a permanent extra-curricula organization should leave any notice of news breaks in the Spectator box, which will be placed near the bulletin board in the Administration building. A reporter will then be sent to cover the news. Promptness in doing so will facilitate news coverage

Students who have now or personal Items should also place them in the Spectator box. Thus through cooperation of everyone we should have an efficient coverage of the campus news.

Following are the reporters and the organizations which they will

The College appreciates sincerely the donations which have made possible the beginning of the New Physical Education and Health Building. With the actual launching of the building project, It will be most imperative that the College be able to collect all pledges as soon as they fall due. Plans for carrying out the building program have been based largely upon the pledges which have already been made, and in order that the project may go forward on schedule, these obligations should be met as promptly as possible.

Additional pledges will be needed in order to carry out plans to successful completion. New pledges, therefore, will be most acceptable at the Business Office.

One of the aims of McPherson College, as formulated by the faculty and printed in the catalog, is to "safeguard the health of students by means of formal instruction, physical and medical examinations, and

Heretofore, the College has lacked facilities to realize these aims fully. The new Physical Education and Health Building is an effort to supply this need. It will provide offices for the physical education directors adequate showers, dressing rooms, class rooms, and a room for individual and small group games. It will be a modern building, well built, attractive and most of all, a useful-building.

Inter-collegiate basketball games will continue to be played in the city gymnasium. The new building will be exclusively devoted to the physical education and health pro-gram of the college and as such will give the college a higher rating as as educational institution. Any college that wishes to pose as adequate for modern needs must provide in an effective way the physical needs of its students. .

8. Plan proper length and distribution of study periods, one to two hour units for easy or varied work; and thirty minutes with two or three minutes rest periods in between for unfamiliar or difficult work.

These teachers seem to be scaring us into studying. From all rumors, at least, the assignments and papers are longer and more outside reading must be done. Perhaps it is good psychology, but we hope that when the spring fever becomes contagious they will be afflicted also.

Girls! Don’t forget to do your Boy Scout deed this week. Remember also the party a week from today where your secret helper will be revealed.

Fri. Jan. 28. School seems to be getting off to a good start, but not me— I’m too busy on this term pa-per.

29.    The same goes for today. We tot a check just in time, or we couldn't have bought any groceries, and that would be a good joke on the cook.

30.    We preached at Monitor;

again.. Last Sunday I read from the Proverbs:    “The sluggard says.

There is a lion outside. I shall be murdered in the streets."’ One man got the message, for he this morning rubbed his ears and remarked that there really was a lion outside We had a swell time with some mighty fine people—even if Dr. Schwalm could say of Bishop Hugh, "he looked like he might be off the farm.” It was a real rest to sit around playing games, even if I did get beat. And there was Betty Ruth's collection of dogs—she had about every kind of a dog there is, except maybe a hot dog.

31. ’Whew! That paper is done, and am I glad. It was a lot of fun, but it kept me from doing much of anything else. Including writing in my beloved diary.

February one. The Hon was still outside- this morning, except up at school where Forney got up late and the lion was inside. This was one of them days when things happen in class. In Philosophy of Religion we were considering whether trees have personality and consciousness and so forth, and Dr. Metzler remarked that he sort of hates to cut down a tree. “Yes," said Boyer, "that takes work."

In Roman History, Dr. Bright raised the window for want of a cuspidor, calling to mind the case of the rich old Indian who bought a big, shiny limousine.

"Indian don’t like um. How much trade um for this one? He pointed out a topless phaeton.    

“Well, we can fix you up." said the salesman, "but what is the matter with the one you have? Perhaps if we should have the men

Cooperation is the word around here. The library has been much more quiet, in fact now it is conductive to hard work. The new arrangements are accomplishing their purpose.

What a shock everyone received when Dalies Frantz took those long strides over to his piano. Expectations were for a bushy-haired, short, stocky man and here appeared a young man very similar in appear-ance to Tony Meyer. His concert was most enjoyable and the seal and zest with which he played his composi-tion convinced the audience of his supberb talent.

"Nope. No like um. Gottum windows. Indian can’t spit.”

So Sir Walter Scott used to writhe and groan as he concocted some of his best Jokes, did he? I know just how he felt! There is still more groaning when mine are rend.

Feb. 2 Somebody ought to have told Dwight before be did all that unnecessary worrying about an enemy attacking McPherson College that some foul enemy did attack last night in those dark, shivery hours ... A sudden eerie whistle announced the flight of a projectile, turning the hearers’ blood to water. Three deafening crashes in quick succession and three direct hits were scored on the venerable men’s dormitory. The mysterious attackers faded into the night, before the debris could settle. Dust filled the air for some time, (as it had all day) while the terrified survivors huddled In fear of further attacks. This morning, sunlight show-ed three gaping holes in the wall, the panes shattered. Word comes that an offering is to be solicited for the aid of the needy students. This is probably an error, for what are three windows more or less in Fahnestock Hall? Anyhow, as Bob Wiegand says, they probably will not replace them, for new windows would not match the old building.

We are getting off to a fine start in Marriage and Family, with Harshbarger and I sitting on the mourners’ bench to supply the "among."

3. By the way. I hear Keck has taken up the study of law. Someone should have told him the tuition comes high at police court. Barley seems to be going to that school, too.

This is sure tough writing this stuff. I would have been done long ago, but ’Etta sits here at my elbow helping me with everything . . . But say! It does my heart good to see they way Lamar is developing the protective instinct.

Mr. Deeds Goes To Town

At the Mac Theatre there is showing Sunday. Monday, and Tuesday a return engagement of that extremely poplar picture of a two years back, "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town,” starring Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur.

Tovarich

Tovarich (pronounced toh-var-ich) is the Russian word for "comrade." The movie, like the play which ran all last winter on Broadway is about two members of the exiled Russian nobility in Paris, the Grand Duchess Latiana (Claudette Colbert) and her consort. Prince Mikait (Charles Boyer). The exiles possess a bank account of 40,000,000,000 francs, entrusted them by the Tsar, but since their honor forbids them to touch a sou, they hide out as servants in a banker’s household. Their curious experiences there make this an unusual picture, well worth seeing. Showing at the Helstrom Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.

Red Apples are the rewards Prof. Loren E. Donelson, of the Journalism department at South Dakota State College, presents every Friday to students of his reporting class for the best stories of the week.

Schwalms To Texas

Accompanied by Quartet President Makes Long Trip

President Schwalm was the speaker Sunday at the dedication of a now church in Pampa, Texas. The college male quartette, composed of Charles Nettleton, Glenn McGonigle, Gordon Yoder, and Keith Pierce furnished the special music for the services.

S. C. M. Urges Aid B. Y. P. D. Conference

Four Interpretive readers will rep-present McPherson College at Hutchinson today and tomorrow. They are Vera Heckman. George Toland, Esther Sherfy, and Elma Minnick. Professor Hess will have six debate teams also in the tournament.

The Collegiate Review

A. C. P.

The only femine guide in the northwest is an 18-year-old coed who goes to Junior college in Ely. Minn., and skips school occasionally to act as guide for deer-hunters.

Last summer she earned $8 a day as a professional guide. And no wonder. For she caught her first fish before she could spell the word and at 12, swam across choppy Lake Shagawa, a distance of two and three-quarter miles. She became an amateur fishing guide at 13.

Pittiquette is to the University of Pittsburg what Emily Post is to society in general. It is edited by a sophomore coed and is presented to all freshmen girls at the University.

That they wilt have no excuse for not looking before they leap, these are some of the points it makes: "Save the rhumba, tango and southern swing dances for private showings.

"Collect names. Make it a point of finding out the name of some one who speaks to you so that next time you can say, "Hello, Mary." Not. Oh, hello-o-o."

“Give your courtesy muscles a little exercise. Which means rising for faculty members—even seniors.

Jeanette McDonald, a Junior in the nursing school at the University of Minnesota smashed at a screen Idol when she said: “I don’t like Nelson Eddy’s wide eyelashes.”

Survey Reveals Outline Values

Eight McPherson Students in National Poll Taken by Bureau

College outlines are a definite aid to improved grades, in the opinion of students using them, a poll conducted under the auspices of the Bureau of Educational Surveys, New York City, shows.

The poll, covering a period of several months, embraces 3,720 students in 223 institutions of higher learning. Eight students from McPherson College were included in the poll.

By far the largest number of students reported grade increases from fair to good, following the use of these study helps. A second large group reported improvement in grades from failure to passing. In a few cases students previously re-ceiving failing grades reported final A ratings.

The consensus of opinion among the students was that by stating the facts concisely." the college outlines simplified study, enabling them to quickly grasp the essentials as well as get the most out of the recommended text and auxiliary reading.

The professors included in the poll in the main approved the use of outlines by the students on the ground of their value as a supplement to their own lectures and as it means of getting the subject toge-ther in a coherent and concrete way. Quite a few expressed the belief that they helped the student who might otherwise get lost in an introductory course. “As great a help to the student as any one factor," was the opinion of a Baylor University professor.

The poll was not without its dissenting votes. A student from a Middle-western school wrote. "Flunked. The outline would have been a great help if I had only read it.” And this came from an educator at a prominent Eastern university "It is not a pleasant sensation to have a student come into your class with one of these outlines and use it apparently as a check upon what one is talking about.

A talk and the showing of films on old Mexico by Alex Richards was the feature of the program for the Chemistry Club meeting on Thursday, February 3. Mr. Richards also gave a talk on meteorites. He had several specimens of meteorites which made his talk both interesting and instructive.

Student- Seek Help for Far East Student Funds

Addison Saathoff spoke on the military control of the Chinese schools by the Japanese soldiers. He mentioned the fact that China had adopted the American system of schools and now are unable to open unless Japanese school systems are accepted. It is America’s duly to aid the Chinese students protect and further their democratic government.

A second talk was given by Dwight Horner who urged that we as Christian students help the suffering Chinese students who also belong to the great body of Christian youth. China’s greatest hope for the future lies in the education of her youth.

At the conclusion of the program, a collection was taken which will go to help in the Far Eastern student Emergency Fund.

Gorillas Invade McPherson Territory With Similar Brand of Ball

On top of the conference heap after the first half of their conference schedule, the college basketeers will meet the strong Pittsburg Teachers Gorillas tonight in an inter-conference battle on the Convention Hall maples. The second team will clash with a quintet from Galva high school in the curtain raiser.

This game promises to be one of the most interesting of the season for it is understood that Pittsburg also employs a revolving offense and fast style.

Included on Coach John Lance's Central Conference team are outstanding players such as Max Maletz, all-conference forward; Arthur Alexander, towering Cedar Vale center; Fred Crouch, hotshot forward from Joplin; and Jim Adams, powerful defensive guard.

Thus far In the season, the Gorillas have conquered Kirksville, Springfield. Northeastern Oklahoma Teachers, Emporia State and others. They lost to Warrensburg. Marysville, and Southwestern.

Pittsburg Here To Test Canines

Promising Freshman 1

Hoop Swishers

By The Colonel Bethany Bounces—

Before an enthusiastic crowd of McPherson rooters, the Bulldogs forged to the top of the conference by a ragged victory over the hapless Swedes. Barngrover's long range gunning. Meyer's "dunkers", and the occasional flash floor work were the redeeming features of the hectic affair.

Gene Kemper, seeing the "swing system" In action for the first time, was duly impressed by the fast rushing style on the part of the Bulldogs, who were certainly not up to par.

Maybe it is a premature statement, but watch out for the Swedes next year. Yearlings Norburg. Car-roll, Peterson, and Grieves should soon begin clicking. Incidentally, Coach Astle formerly refereed games for the Kansas City Midget League, of which blond Harry Peterson was a member.

February Findings—

Norman Strahan and Carlos Crabb. former McPherson lads and the latter being a brother of Eugene, are first-rate cagers on the Oklahoma City University team, which received a boating by Bethel last week.

Dave "Tennessee Terrier" McGill. one of the Bulldog spark plugs, is visiting at his home in Soddy and will be unable to play against Pittsburg tonight. Although his steady type of playing will be missed, Dave felt that he should go home for the first: tlme in more than a year be-cause of the illness of his mother. However, he will again be available for the important conference conflicts next week.

For lack of a more suitable title, Wanamaker's teammates are now calling him "Rosey" or "Slats."

The Pittsburg Gorrillas are en-routo to another conference engagement at Ft. Hays, tomorrow night and a defeat at the hands of the Canines tonight would probably place them in a fighting mood.

3 Consecutive Cage Contests

Coach Astle's Hoopsters Will Face Bethel, C. of E. and Ottawa

With three consecutive cage contests scheduled next week. Coach "Buck” Astle's hoopsters will be on the road most of the time. They meet Bethel at Newton on Saturday, Ottawa at Ottawa Thursday, and C. of E. at Emporia on the following night.

Bethel is expected to be fired with determination to avenge an earlier loss to McPherson and a victory over Oklahoma City last week places them In a better position. The "grudge" tussle with the Graymaroons will be the final non-conference encounter for the Bulldogs this season.

Although the Ottawa Braves defeated the Canines earlier in the season, Coach Astle's men feel that it is their duty to tame Coach God-love's crew in a crucial game. To even up their records against the Ottawans will be their objective.

C. of E. has proved to bo a stumbling block to nearly all conference teams and the Bulldogs will again attempt to provo McPherson's superiority on the basketball court against the team of a former coach, "Bud" Selves. Both of these games are hoped to be "stepping stones” for the Bulldogs in the Kansas Conference race.

Speedy Bulldog Guard

Marvin Fox. freshman center, has shown up well in his first year of college competition. Marvin halls from Larned. Kansas. With his height and aggressiveness Fox will give the members of the first squad a fight for their positions next year. Fox has been one of the leading and consistant scorers on the second team.    .

“Don’t Marry The Daughter"

An English professor in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is taking it all back”.

In 1929 he told the Institute's graduating class to "Be a snob; marry the boss’s daughter.”

"Now." he declares, "I've decided the advice didn’t work out, as well us I expected. "By marrying the boss's daughter, the young men took the chance of acquiring the boss’s liabilities along with his assets.” Besides, it seems that the young men so advised were naked by the fair—and wealthy—objects of their affections if the offers of marriage were inspired by love or their professor's advice.

Bulldogs Defeat Bethany Swedes

Fifth Consecutive Victory Added as Canines Win in Final Spurt

Coach "Buck" Astle’s McPherson college Bulldogs, defending their lead of the Kansas Conference, nos-ed out the Swedish rivals from Bethany 36 to 31 at Lindsborg last Friday night. For their fifth consecutive victory, the Bulldog second team downed the Bethany reserves 27-23 in the preliminary game.

Slightly over-confident were the Canines, whose last minute spurt furnished a needed victory over the determined Swedes. McPherson held a 13-11 lead at the half, but goals by Killfoil and Norburg kept Couch Schaake's men in the running until Astle's bucketeers turned on the power.

In the rough and ragged contest, four Bethany players went to the showers on personal fouls and 35 fouls were called by Referee Gene Kemper daring the game. Barngrover led the scoring with 12 points and Norburg and Killfoil closely followed with 9 and 8, respectively.

W. S. Evaluates Hymns

Evelyn High conducted a most in-treating discussion Tuesday afternoon in the S. U. R. on how to evaluate hymns. Score sheets on how to judge hymns as to their lyric, religious, and social qualities were given to each member present.

After Miss High had presented the criticism or merits of a particular group of hymns, the strains of a typical hymn were played by Mamie Wolfe or sung by Olivo Edgecomb. The meaning of the words was stressed as being important in determining the excellence of a hymn. It was pointed out also that it is essential for the music to support the meaning suggested by the lyric.

Next week Professor R. E. Mohler will give a talk on church architecture.

World Service Cabinet Meets Dusk on Sunday evening found the World Service Cabinet enjoying a social hour in the Student Union Room. At the conventional hour for supper, the group adjourned to the-Y. W. room where a light lunch and refreshments were served.

Coach "Buck" Astle used Stauffer on the first squad during the first of the season, but since the return of "Tony" Meyer Stauffer has played with the second team. Great things are expected from Herbert next year.
