All artists presented will be from the Columbia Broadcasting Co.’s personnel, the number of memberships obtained during the week of October 4 will determine the number of stars to appear here. No less than three artists will be presented on the series.

Membership cards in the McPherson Cooperative Concert Association will be transferable. They also will admit the owners of the cards to attend all of the five numbers presented during the winter by the Newton Cooperative Association. Newton held its campaign in the spring, securing approximately 1,000 memberships, and thus making it possible to present a series of five artists, among them Bontinelli.

Many McPherson students took advantage of a similar concert series held at Salina. Wichita and Hutchinson. Despite the cost of transportation membership to these series was evaluated by all the student members as many times the price paid. The support of McPherson College will play a big part In determining the number of artists to be presented. With such an opportunity and advantages of proximity the entire support of the student body is anticipated.

Indian Squaws

Three tribes of Indiana set forth from Arnold Hall Wednesday aftersoon to seek a treasure. Following blazed trails all three tribes trekked here and yon and finally came to- gether in the park. The Osages found the treasure in "Jack and the Bean- stalk's" hiding place—the oven.

When these weary girts had rested their weary bones after such strenuous exercises, a few minutes were given to prepare stunts- The still Comanches portrayed "Minnie-ha ha. " and the Ottawa actors 'twa-twa'd" the romance and marriage of a young couple. The Osage squaws did all kinds of antics trying to show: us the "modernistic social life of young womanhood"—or somepin.'

At last, after all these years of striving and waiting, the time has; come when I can throw out my chest and march out right behind the fac-^:ulty, with the rest of the school looking on.

Last Spring Mr. Davis told each of us to bring someone along to school this year, so I get busy and persuaded my cousin Allie Falfa from op Skunk Hollow way to come. She finally agreed. If I would help her get started, so I sat right down and out of the wealth of my expec-ience instituted a set of rules.

1. Never ask anyone about anything that puzzles you—he might answer your question, and then what would you worry about?

2. Don't read much in your books, and less in the library—you might get a new idea, and that is painful.

8; Don't spoil your penmanship taking notes in class—the profs Just like to pile work on you. (I never take any notes; I just carry the book around to look scholarly. Oh, of course. I write down all I think is important in every class, and keep it all indexed and numbered so I can find it again, but don't take any notes.)

4. Don’t bother to go to class on time, unless it is Prof. Hess's class None of the others will lock you out.

5. Don’t study. After all. you are paying the college about 28 cents for each hour in class, and they ought to force knowledge down you at that price.

8. Don't go to the library expecting to study, since it is such a good place to visit and joke.

7. Don’t let the fellow on the platform at a public gathering awe you; be as noisy as you like. If the rest want to hear him, let them take him somewhere else—this is a free country.

8. A good student will see the shows down town, whether he gets anything else done or paid for or not.

9. You are away from parental care now, but if you try hard enough you can get some other authorities to look after you.

Uncle Sam is this year doing twice as much business in the weapons of war as last. Figures just released by the State Department show that during the six months which ended June 1, 1937, exports of American munitions totalled $24,492,152. For the whole year which ended Novem-ber 30. 1936, $26,000,000 worth of war tools were sent abroad. Munitions exports have therefore nearly doubled in the last six months.

Perhaps the most difficult adjust-ment that a student has to make upon entering college in the autumn is to rapidly shift from a summer of physical labor and recreation to nine months of mental activity.

He is often greeted with "How many letters do you have for me, Henry?" often the students anxiously wait for "that certain" letter to arrive. Usually, the students say, such letters are from dad and in-, clude a check. Henry carried all of them, love letters from sweethearts left behind and from interested parents.

Coaches may come and coaches may go but, the coaching position at McPherson college has not always been a position on the faculty staff. The change in the college coach this fall has recalled many former coaches and athletic days that win be remembered by many McPherson men today.

W. Pierce "Ballet" Astle is stepping into a position that has been filled by many men who have proved themselves outstanding coaches. The great and near-great coaches of the Bulldog teams followed a period of five years In which students acted as their own athletic directors and physical culture "specialists."

McPherson college has not always had football, basketball and track, but since the fall of 1921 the Bulldogs have had a regular all around coach to direct their activities in all sports. Before that a basketball coach was employed part of the time, sometimes they were students and other time some member of the faculty.

Records at the college office reveal that the first indication of a "coach" was in 1914. and the man was Galen Edgar Lichty. Lichty was not called "coach." but was known as "assistant physical culture director.” Why he was called an "assistant” is not known, for the records fail to show if there was any "head" director of athletics Lichty was a student is the college.

John Wesley Maxey was an ‘assistant" in 1915 and the same student held the same position In 1916. Maxey then went to the World War and Joined the aviation corps. After the war he returned to McPherson in a government plane and his daring stunts can still he remembered by local sports fans who knew him. Maxey is now teaching In New York state.

Floyd E. Mishler, who later was to become coach of the Bulldogs, was "coach” during the school year of 1917. when he was a student. After him came another student. Ernest Shermerhorn. In 1918, and he was known as the “gymnasium director for men."

period from 1914 to 1918 were one or two other "coaches." Dean R. E. Mohler. coached basketball for the Bulldogs for several years and the name may be said about Ed Verink, former Y. M. C. A. secretary of Mc-Pherson. It was Verink who had a large bulldog pull him on his bicycle; from downtown to the "hill.”

In the spring of 1919 the men on the campus began to realize the need ' of a football team. Prior to this foot ball was not a McPherson college sport. The students petitioned the board of trustees to permit football. This petition is still in the possession of the college authorities. The board acted upon the petition and recognised the desire of the students and passed a resolution permitting this new sport.

In the fall of 1919 when the boys returned to school they found they had been given permission to play football. They also discovered the board of trustees had failed to make any arrangements for a coach, so they got their heads together and prevail-ed upon W. E. Daniels, the secretary of the local Y. M. C. A. to be their coach. Daniels accepted and for one year was grid coach. Daniels is now in the Y. M. C. A. at Wichita.

The fall of 1921 saw McPherson college with its first full time head coach—Arthur C. "Dutch" Lonborg.

Great Changes In

Arnold Hall

Lace and frilly curtains, pictures, lamps, and other nic nacs arranged by the deft fingers of fair ladles have transformed rooms, which only a short time ago were barren and echoing, into attractive living quarters. Arnold’s balls once again resound the clattering of heels. the old familiar laughs and shouts of hilarity along with new and strange voices. Soon we will not miss some of the old fac-es quite so much.

Ah. yes. boys. 'tis sad to reveal this bit of news, but we feel that you should be warned. The floors on which you trespassed last year, and for which you had to pay so dearly have been scraped and sanded. The fine for t trespassing has “gone up." Beware rainy weather!

As usual the girls must have their house-meetings, for new rules must be made and old ones amended. Some of our maids seem to think the boys occupy our dwelling too much and actually sought to bar them entirely except during certain hours. But the old saying, “majority rules” still goes.

As yet there has been no excit-ment astir. One small group did get demerits for making disturbance after the quiet bell, but otherwise. it seems that the trouble-makers have reformed and peace will reign supreme.

Henry also had a "taste" of the "inside" of the post office, serving as acting postmaster for a period of six months.

Today Henry is carrying Uncle Sam's mail the same as he has done for the last 35 years. It is a great day for him. He does not have any intentions of retiring from the service, saying he will continue for a few more years. The students "on the hill." therefore will he able to look forward to his daily visits with as great an interest as they have in the past.

Varied Program Offered in Gym

Under the supervision of Coach Astle and Miss Warner, a splendid college physical training course is offered to students in the freshman and sophomore year. With varied types of receration provided. the new course is meeting with much enthusiasm by all participants.

Coach Astle has 71 boys, excluding 41 football players, in his gym class-es. Most of the time will he spent on touch football, basketball, boxing, wrestling, and softball. He also con ducts classes in basketball and playground instruction.

Miss Warner is in charge of th co-recreational classes in addition to her gym classes, which include 63 girls n tumbling and movement fun-damentals classes. The Co-ed volleyball class is the most popular with 19 enrolled. Co-ed archery is next with 9 members and badminton is a close third with 8 players. Eight members are enrolled in the varied sports group who play tennis, ping pong, aerial darts, and quoit tennis.

An extensive intramural program is being planned by Coach Astle and Miss Warner Is working out a system for the girls, also.

The first Women’s Council group was held Tuesday evening in the Stu-dent Union Room. This first meeting was planned especially for freshmen girls on this campus. Glee Gough-nour lead the discussion on social usages.

Some of the main topics brought out were the budgeting of time with sufficient time for study and definite play hours, selection of extra carricular activities, personal appear ance, the forming of college friendships, the question of dating and the keeping of a careful health program.

The discussion was closed with the statement that those who get the most from college are the straightthinking, high-minded people who do their work well, play hard, and live wholesomely.

The Bulldog squad will travel 1310 miles this season fur all out-of-town games. Four pairs of brothers, Seidel, York, Kraus and Keck, are included In the group. George Toland and Kenny Moore are the only players who are known to be married. Various nationalities are represented, but the German descendants have the largest number 15. The average weight of the backfield is 155 ; pounds; the lino, 166.

Items concerning the game last night which deserve attention are Captain Don Barngrover’s splendid punting, futility of those passes In the final quarter, and the faulty tackling and blocking by the Bulldogs, which will be ironed out with several games under their belt.

The season has only begun and we have two whole months in which to display the old Bulldog spirit, cooperation, and determination.

Overwhelmed by a powerful, experienced team, Coach Astle's McPherson College Bulldogs were trounced 24 to 0 by the Kearney Nebraska Antelopes, last night in the opening encounter of the grid season.

The Kearney team combined strategic line plays and effective passing to amass four touchdowns. Taylor. Lewis and Parilek were the offensive stars for the visitors, while Gerdes. Gillespie and others did their share in defensive tactics.

Goering, Barngrover, and Seidel halted many Antelope rushes and most of the Bulldog bucks, although not powerful, did not falter completely.

In the first period, Kearney was on the offensive nearly all the time. With Taylor and Lewis ripping huge holes in the line, the visitors marched down the field for many substantial gains. Spinners, off-tackle smashes, and end runs were Included In the offensive drives.

However, splendid tackling by the Bulldog line accounted for occasional losses. Mathiot and Voshell plunged through several times but they lacked the necessary "punch”.

Taylor ran over the first touchdown for the opponents early In the second quarter. The try for the extra point failed. Stucky and Ratzlaff made small gains, but Lewis and Taylor used fake reverses which headed for another touchdown drive as the half finished.

Kearney kicked from placement to begin the second half and the Canines were immediately forced to punt out of danger. A sustained drive by Parliek, Carter, and ‘Lewis netted another touchdown for the Nebraskans. with Lewis' 36-yard romp as the climax. Again the extra point attempt failed.

Uncorking several passes. McPherson was unable to gain much yardage and Kearney dominated the remain-der of the period. The third quarter ended with McPherson trailing Kearney 12-0.

Kearney applied pressure at the outset of the final period and a pass from Lewis to Stegeman over the goal line accounted for another six points. Although no one seemed to care.

Following that touchdown, both teams threw passes all over the gridiron and many interceptions were a result. Desperately heaving the ball, the Bulldogs apparently had "Their tails between their legs."

Adding insult to injury, the versatile Mr. Lewis again tossed the pigskin into the arms of an awaiting teammate over the goal line. This was the fourth and final touchdown, making the official score: Kearney 24. and McPherson. 0.

However, as Coach Astle remarked. "This is only one ball game and one that really doesn't count.” Students should be prompt to encourage the players in order that they remain a hustling grid team, with the old Bulldog spirit.

Last January, when the flood waters of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers inundated thousands of square miles along these valleys and those of tributary streams, affecting more than a million and a half persons, thousands of college men and women —both graduate undergraduate - -volunteered their services and made generous gifts to the Red Cross to assist in alleviating the suffering of stricken families.

In addition to such help in the stress of great emergency, there has been a marked gain in interest in Red Cross programs on campuses throughout the country.

The Red Cross services which are proving to be most popular in colleges are water life saving, first aid, and home cure of the sick. Courses in these subjects are now taught In many institutions by qualified Red Cross Instructors.

Each autumn, during the annual Red Cross Roll Call, thousands of university and college students in every part of the nation renew their memberships to help support the Red Cross to carry on its disaster relief work and year-round service programs throughout the coming twelve months. Everyone is invited to share In the work of the Red Cross by enrolling from November 11th to 26th.
