Many students heard Dr. Harding, University of Arkansas, present his popular address on "Glimpses of Other Worlds" at the Congregational Church. The lecture was sponsored by the student council.

This illustrated address contained the most interesting parts of Dr. Harding's new book. "Astronomy— The Splendor of the Heavens Brought down to Earth." which is proving so popular in all parts of the country.

Dr. Harding presented his subject In a most vivid and simple manner. He made his audience realize the significance of our flying world. After leaving the earth, the first stop was our companion "The Moon," where the Interesting craters, lakes, oceans, and mountains were exhibited and explained.

In a similar manner, the "Sun and His Realm" were explored by close-up photographs of the sun, sunspots, and solar prominences, which have so much to do with weather conditions on the earth. From here the audience was transported to the Starry Heavens" where there are other worlds revolving about dis-tant suns. In fact, the entire galaxy to which our sun belongs is rapidly passed in review.

Dr. Harding made no attempt to go into the technical side of the sub-ject but gave an interesting and clear-cut picture of the universe and its worlds.

Seniors Set Date For Annual Play

“Another Language” To Be Given April; American Life Portrayed

The senior class play. "Another Language." by Rose Franken, will be given in the college chapel, Friday night; April 1.

This is a brilliant play of modern American family life. All th characters of the play are members of one family, either by marriage or by birth, and all are under the rule of Mother Hallam. The play is built around the efforts of one daughter-in-law to escape the family uniformity.

, . She tries to"keep her husband with her, but we soon see that he will side in with the family. The undercurrent of genuine drama is felt when things come to a climax and we feel that the revolting girl, who is the only one worth spring, triumphs. The comic elements are re-vealed in the well-observed family scenes.

Miss Ida Shockley entertained Sunday afternoon, March 20, in the Student Union Room, with a tea for all college girls. The tea table was beautifully decorated with a yellow and green color scheme.

Two burning tapers stood at either side of a lovely bouquet of tea roses. Miss Shockley met the guests at the door and directed them to the ten table at which Mrs. J. D. Bright presided. Members of the Womens' Council assisted Miss Shockley in the preparation and serving of the tea.

Mr. J. A. Blair, County Superinten-ent of Schools, and former member of the McPherson College faculty, gave the chapel address Wednesday morning. He said that when he visited schools he often looked over the faces of school children and asked himself the question: "What are their possibilities?" In answering that question he said that the possibilities of children were great when their teachers dreamed big dreams for them and made an effort to make those dreams realities.

He stated that the legend about the white spider who couldn't escape from a ring of white chalk drawn around him was disproven by a man who actually made the experiment. He said that he believed in the power of suffering hut, "to suffer for the glory of suffering is absurd.'

He said that when he visited the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington. D. C., J. Edgar Hoover told him that "there were one million five hundred thousand criminals in the country and that nine of the twenty-two awaiting death in Sing Sing prison were mere boys." Mr Blair said that these facts might

Dr. Hershey has been confined his home on account of the flu for several days.

Geraldine Spohn spent last weekend at the house of Marian Washler near Langdon.

Donovan E. Smucker, executive secretary of the Kansas Institute of International Relations, was the guest speaker before the student body and faculty Wednesday morning. "The war system, he said, is our greatest enemy". “War no longer consists of personal combat." he pointed out. He said that modern warfare consisted of the bombing of cities and rarely do aviators know whom they kill.

He urged all students to write to their congressman and President Roosevelt in protest against the Hill-Shepherd Bill, which he pointed out, provided for a full dictatorship In case of war. He said that the dictatorship might remain after war in case of an emergency resulting from the war and he pointed out that the president would be likely to see that the crisis existed. He also said "The bill also provides for complete conscription of industries and men.

He pointed out that war propaganda would sweep America in cast of war. He said that even now propaganda won widespread against the Japanese and that employer and workingman alike were warned against the "Yellow Peril.”

He urged that students have convictions about war and not merely opinions about war. He said that convictions might grow out of relig-ion and cultural experiences.

Miss Jessie Brown, Miss Fern Lingenfelter. Miss Evelyn High, Miss Mamie Wolf, and Miss Bernadine Ohmart, attended the lectures on piano teaching methods by Ian Minimberg at Wichita last Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Mr. Minimberg has studied under most of the great piano teachers of the present generation in Europe and this country He has been on the teaching stuff of Yale university and has done research work in the Peabody Museum. He is considered an authority on piano tone and technique.

"It is just as easy to get verbal indigestion from stuffing your speaking or writing vocabulary as it is to get the more usual physical aliment." Mrs. Claire Soule Seay, lecturer in English for the University of California extension division, thinks too many people stuff their vocabularies with verbiage and obscure thought processes by an excess of words.

And what is so rare as a day in June? Answer—the certainty of weather in March. One never knows what to expect, does one? One day is lovely and warm, the next is cold with with a blustering wind. What shall I wear?

But nevertheless, spring has sprung. The signs are all around-budding trees and bushes, green grass the coming of birds (yes. even the robins), and the coming forth of now, colorful spring outfits.

Spring! Ah-h-h-h. it gels in one’s blood, doesn't it? It makes one's toe's itch to discard burdensome

shoes, get the feel of Mother Earth, and let the grass tickle your feet.

It gives one the desire to get out in the sunshine and dig in the dirt to get it ready to plant gardens and flowers. It must be the farmer in us!

Anything to get out of doors. The boys get out their baseballs and gloves and spend many hours practicing for that spring sport. Tennis fans take down their racquets dust them off. and get the feel of the swing.

But more than all this spring has a tendency to make students lazy and neglectful of lessons. On warm

days students drag Into class rooms and gaze longingly out the window at more fortunate ones who are enjoying the sunshine.

Students are again taking their after-meal exercise walking to the from gate and back.

And what lovely nights! Romance is in the air! Couples can again walk to the "Draw,” sit on the bank of the "lagoon." and loiter on the way back. The parlors are being desert-ed for the more interesting and fascinating study of astronomy.

Well, spring comes but once a year—take advantage of it while you may!

Deep thrilling Slavic voices, now booming, now dying away into silence, sacred songs, rollicking songs, brilliant technique, and striking cos-suming all added up into an evening of rare and excellent entertainment Friday night when the Russian Imperial Singers appeared in concert at Lindley Hall, Newton, under the auspices of the Newton Cooperative Concert Association.

The Russian Imperial Singers, a chorus of five men, offered a program that included Rimsky-Koma-koff's “Christmas Eve,” several choruses from Russian composed operas, and the ever popular folks songs. From Michael Dido's remarkable tenor voice, to Ierinarh Zrage-wsky's basso-profundo, the group's musical blending inspired hearty appreciation and applause. Stephen Slepoushkin, baritone, won especially hearty applause with his solo, "Song of the Flea", by Moussorgsky.

Fri. night's concert concluded the Newton Cooperative Concert Association's season. McPherson’s season closed March 7 with the Rose Bamp-ton concert:

Newton is now launching its second campaign, in order to assure its music enthusiasts of another outstanding season for 1938-39.

Several college students were seen in Wichita Saturday, running in and out the stores, doing their spring shopping. They were: Glee Goughnour, Gordon Yoder. Estelle Dalle, Harold Mohler, Dan Zook. Rilla Hubbard. LaVena High. Ruth Siegle, Edith Hughey, Ida Smith. Several faculty members were seen too, namely, Miss Warner, Lehman, Gill, and Mrs. Astle..

Girl Of The Golden West

Here is the picture everyone has been waiting for. It brings together again Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddy after being separated for some time. For their reunion back together again they have a splendid vehicle in the stirring and well known play Girl Of The Golden West.

Students of McPherson College paid for their cramming in the last examinations with a loss of 480 pounds in weight, it is estimated by the Bureau of Educational Surveys, New York City.

The Bureau arrived at the figure by multiplying an average of two pounds weight loss reported by a representative group of 90 per cent of McPherson College students who engage in intensive study before and during examination periods.

According to the Bureau, professors and textbooks are as much to blame for cramming as the students themselves.. Too often the instructor does hot provide his class with a sufficiently clear overview of the entire course, or does not review the course in outline form from time to time, with the result that the student be-

Washington. D. C.—The current "Recession", about which everyone in Washington talks, but no one has been able to stop, may have an unfortunate effect upon the college students who will be graduated in June.

. Every responsible official has considered ways and means of checking the business tailspin and experts have pondered over, and attempted to alleviate, its effect on various groups from farmers to factory workers. But, unless there is a sudden upturn, this year’s crop of graduates will step out in June into a world where jobs are as scarce as they were in 1932.

One feels rather guilty to bring up such an unpleasant subject when the first flowers are shyly showing their blossoms, the grass is turning green the trees are budding, baseball season is opening up and the track team is training outdoors again. However, the sad truth is that the present slump over which Senators have ar-gtfe^P&To cure which various reme-dies have been suggested. Is going to make it mighty tough for Jim and Josephine.

comes hopelessly involved in a mass of facts and ideas, and resorts to cramming as a final, desperate measure. Sometimes the instructor is to blame for not couching lectures in terms understandable to the average student, and frequently the text book lacks continuity and organization, or presents the course in too ponderous and technical a manner for the average student's comprehension. This is particularly true of the 52 per cent of all students who according to Dr. John Black John son, retired dean of the University of Minnesota College of Science, Literature and the Arts, can never be-come "successful students." Students in this group would never pass at all but for the use of college outlines or other supplementary aids to study ticular problem with a view to aiding the June graduates (although the general question of youth and jobs has attracted the attention of some of the country’s wisest thinkers). Perhaps, all of the commissions and studies and experts, however, couldn't do anything about helping young graduates until the business machine swings back into high gear.

Maybe the widely anticipated "spring pick-up” will solve the problem before June comes and it becomes acute.

Speaking of Jobs, reminds this writer of the fact that the college stu-; dents who specialize in agriculture almost always seem to find good openings. Perhaps few of them get rich, but so far as comfortable jobs are concerned they certainly seem to hit the bull’s eye.

A recent trip into the farming country of the South emphasized this point. With land conservation, crop diversification and other scientific practices becoming more generally accepted. It seems that the boys who have studied these problems are in demand. Many of them are in some form of government work, but others find good paying places in private farm operations, and it is very rare that one of them loses out because business slows down.

In chapel Monday. Miss Harkey. McPherson social worker, delivered the address on the subject "Is social work a profession?"

"We have measurements with which to cheek ourselves,” she said. "There has developed a misconception that social work is confined to the pauper classes Social work has long been allied with causes to alleviate causes of crime and other so-cial defects.”

There are both the public and private charities although the outward gestures in private charities are gradually diminishing.”

‘Nearly thirty universities are offering social work or prerequisites to that line. Economics, Political Science, and Psychology are most closely allied to this work."

"Certain things have developed and are being developed. California is trying to license social workers. There are two great social foundations in the United States. So the field of social work is on its way to being a profession.”

Here is Miss Heckethorn report or inventory of the hooks added to our library this year:

She concludes by telling me that the highest priced book was. "Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical, Vol. 13” by Mellor; and the cheapest was a book by F. N. White, on "Landon."

Miss Heckethorn also reports there are a few new books that have come into the library. “Teaching the Social Studies on Sec. Level.” by T. H. Schutte; "Time and Tendencies." by A. Repplier and “The Advance of Science," by Davis Watson, which is a gift given by the Chemical Foundation of U. S. This book is a good one for you students that like to read about the important inventions and discoveries lately.

Another new book has arrived in the library lately and I’m going to try to review it for you. This book is written by W. Beebe, and the title is "Jungle Days.” This book is so interesting that when I sat down to review it for you. I forgot what I was supposed to do. To prove this I’ll try to relate to you some incidents in this book. Beebe was in the jungle watching all kinds of jungle life when he came upon some leaf Cutting Atta Ants that were working very hard cutting leaves off of some jungle shubbery, very peacefully, when three enemy ants attempted to drive away the Leaf-cutters. These Leaf-cutters seemed to divide into two groups, the warriors and the workers, and the warriors fought off the enemines while the workers went right on working.

an interesting one. I quote it because be tells it in a more interesting way. "Fifteen minutes later (he had been roaming around in the jungle looking for something interesting) I looked up and saw a sight so strange that Sime (his guide and friend) himself would hesitate to delineate.

A spider clung tenaciously to its victim, but the wood roach wanted her revenge. She barely was alive, yet in a quarter of an hour she had changed from a strong, virile creature to an empty husk, dry and hollow, while over her and the spider, scurried fifty active roachlets. They had burst from their mother fully equipped and ready for life, leaving her but a vacant, gaping shell, a maternal film, the ghost of a roach:

He grasped in vain at their diminutive forms at the same time still clutching the dying, flavorless shred of a mother roach, holding fast as tho he hoped that this unnatural miracle might reverse itself at any moment, and his victim again become fat and toothsome.—Now isn’t that something? why don’t you. that have time, get it and read the book, especially biology students?— M.

Delegates Report S.C.M. Conference

Set-Up of Emporia Conference and Commission Work Described.

Six delegates to the Student Christian Conference held at the colleges In Emporia. Kansas on March 12 and 13. presented the S. C..M. pro-gram on Tuesday morning.

The devotional worship was led by Mary Elizabeth Hoover. The first report of the conference was given by Dwight Horner who explained the set-up of the conference and the work of the commissions. The afternoon the Estes banquet. and movies were reported by Esther Sherfy.

Charles Sheller gave a summary of Joe King’s address following the Estes banquet Then "going from the sublime to the ridiculous, or from the chapel to the gym." Charles said, "the entire group of nearly 250

gain sympathy for the farmer and his plight while we are in college, for all of our men instructors, except one, have an agricultural background. The only professor, whose father was not an agriculturalist, is professor Crawford whose father is n chamber of commerce secretary. Three dads besides being successful farmers found time to be ministers.

The geographic background of these instructors is much more var-it would be surprising if we didn’t led. There are four “Jayhawkers" and four from Pennsylvania. Two are “Hoosiers’' and two from Virginia. Other states which are called home by at least one of our 'profs’ are Nebraska. Ohio, Michigan, Tennessee, and Iowa.

. They may have come front various states but they all have the best interests of M. C. at heart and we as students realize it.

Avis Heckman reported the conference breakfast. Sunday morning at which the commission reports were rend. Following the breakfast a dedicatory service was held in the chapel which closed the conference, however many of the young people attended the Congregational church where Rev. Phillip Sarles was in charge.

Gladys Shank, soprano, was pre-sented by the Fine Arts Department of McPherson College in a recital given in the chapel auditorium. Wednesday. March 16. Mist Shank in a pupil of Professor Nevin W. Fisher.

Miss Shanks', repertoire and her. renditions were enthusiastically re-reived. Ann Janet Allison, student under Miss Jessie Brown, assisted in the recital. Professor Fisher ac-companied on the piano. The program was as follows:

William Thompson speaking on "Where Is Armageddon” won the first prize of $7.50 in the local Peace Oratorical Contest Sunday night.

Dwight Horner. speaking on "Compulsory it. O. T. C." won the second prize of $5. and Dale Stucky won the third prize of $2.50 with an oration entitled "On Nono-Re-sistance." The other contestants were: Avis Heckman. Reuben Kreh-biel. Elmer Dadisman. and Curl Smucker. Mr. Thompson will represent the college at the state contest in the near future.

Larsen & Horner, Inc., seems to be a new business founded on the cam-pus to fill a need in campus life. Now if you have any date troubles see either Larsen or Horner. I don’t know whether Ernie is satisfied, but they guarantee results. At least they got results for him. Girls, if you hear two boys calling you over the telephone asking for a date for another boy even different from either one talking just say "Yes" for the welfare and continuance of the bureau. For reference as to the

workings of the company see Esther Sherfy for Ernest Reed—their first "victims".

Mr. Breon suggested that the mellow tone of the trombone of Leslie Sperling would be most delightful to hear at the breakfast table each morning. Sad, sad, indeed it is sad to those high school girls to whom Breon says, about the make quartet “No use girls, they are all asked for”. However. Keith mentally as well as verbally retorts, "I’m not. dern it”. Somehow I think credit should be given to those students who have to miss so many classes to go on deputations of various kinds, either basketball trips. A Capella trips, high school visitation, deputation or activities which help make a name for the school and solicit prospective students.

Miss Lehman seemed to have a faint recollection of having been entertained at a dinner parly in New York by this Mr. French who made the short talk at Newton When the Imperial Singers were there. When he was introduced she exclaimed. "Why, he took me out to dinner this summer when I was in New York”. Can’t you Just hear her-exclaiming?

The Date Party! Yes. It includes the Advanced Expression Recital. You'll hear the melodious tones of Sperlings trombone us he plays some of your favorite songs (in same paragraph on page 2). See little Patsy Humfeld dance. And you won’t forget the night at the opera when “The Old Black Mare." "Old Mother Hubbard". "To You" will be sung. Also, you will thrill us you hear Opal ring clear oh her airy number. All this in one night. Come to the Y. W. room at 8 o'clock. Saturday night.

In Marriage and Family. Dr. Metzler read from a list of questions turned in by members of the class: "Who said. "All the world loves a lover?" Gladys immediately pipes out "Emerson" It seemed funny to the class that Gladys could recall such a quotation so quickly And then Dr. Metzler put in his dry bit of humor, "That shows quite an interest in literature."

Whither Kansas Wesleyan?-—

Coach Alexander Brown Mackie, A. B., 17-year skipper of the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes, has resigned his position to become dean of the Brown-Mackie business school in Salina.

Another colorful figure in the coaching realm moves into the business world as A. B. leaves a hard job to some ambitious tutor. According to Gene Kemper and other reliable sources, Coach Dick Godlove of Ottawa is a leading contender.

Mr. Mackie has been fully successful in his regime at the Methodist institution, making a host of friends and an equal number of enemies. He dramatically climaxed his coaching career when his proteges thumped a group of Bulldog upstarts from McPherson.

Baldwin—-Twenty-five Baker athletes are pounding the cinders on the fast Wildcat track in preparation for the opening meet of the season here, early in April, and the intra-mural track fest on the home cinders March

From last years' tracksters, Coach Ridgway has Edwin Davison, Javelin; Maywood Smith, quarter miler; Jun-ior McKinney, mile; Earl Delafield high hurdles; and Ed Stice, dashes

Five pole vaulters. Charles Bone brake, Charles Becker, Eric Stewart Harold Allen, and Clair Harpster are included on the Orangemen ag gregation. In the high Jump will be George Hersh, former all-around Topeka high ace. Others showing pos sibilities are John Hills, middle dis-tance; and Woodrow Park, shot put and discus.

Promising Squad Reports For Track

Approximately 25 tracksters answered Coach "Buck” Astle's track call at McPherson college. Nine lettermen from last year are included in the group.

Following in a list of the boys reporting to Coach Astle. George To-land, dashes; Roy Robertson and Laverne York, middle distances; Tony Meyer and Dan Zook, weights; Joelle Letkeman, hurdles; Mark Porter and Gordon Bower, distances; and Phil Davis, high Jump. Wayne Albright, another letterman, will be unable to participate this season because of a knee injury suffered during the basketball season.

Other promising thinly-clad lads are Richard Van Vleet, freshman, broad jump and dashes; Marvin Fox. freshman, high Jump; Herb Stauffer, freshman, high jump; Harold Flory, freshman, middle distances; Rollin Wanamaker, freshman, hurdles; Carl. Smucker, junior, distance; Harold Duncanson, sophomore, half mile; Stephen Stover, sopomore. middle distance ; Wesley DeCoursey, sopho-more, middle distance; Vernon Beckwith, sophomore, dashes; Tony Voshell. sophomore, Javelin; Dwight Horner, senior, distance; Olan Nincehelser, freshman, pole vault and middle distanced; Robert Miller, freshman, high Jump and pole vault: Elmer Ratzlaff, freshman, dashes; and James Crill, freshman, distance.

Coach Astle still is not yet certain about the meets he will have this season, however, he is making contacts with coaches and attempting to line up as many meets as he possibly can. He plans for several dual and triangular meets.

Seidel 57; York 30 Porter 71: De Coursey 23 Albright 38; Porter 26 Seidel 50; Nincehelser 33 Nincehelser 50; Porter 21 Do Coursey 53: York 23 Albright 38; Seidel 35 Nincehelser 34 Seidel 33 Nincehelser 44; De Coursey 31 Nincehelser 35; Albright 33 Albright 42; Nincehelser 41

In our opinion, the coach who goes to the Coyote den will have gray hairs after the first year. Mackie has banded down good prospects for basketball and football next year, but if a school ever had one athletic problem. Wesleyan has a thousand.

We won't bother to enumerate those difficulties, but now someone will have to manage the State Class B tourney and that is one round of headaches. Whatever is the outcome of this Mackie metamorphosis. McPherson will not get half the fun of beating Wesleyan as it did while "that man Mackie was the coach of our rivals.

E. S. Liston at Baker has cause for celebration for Maurice Parker and Pete Dye, all-state forwards from Kansas City's Wyandotte, are planning to become Wildcats next year. It is rumored that Coach Elmer (the Great) Schaake will again resign from his tedious coaching duties at Bethany. He resigned last year, but the Swedes persuaded him to reconsider his action.

At his former alma mater. Coach "Bud” Selves seems to be "hitting a new high" and looking forward to a strong track season.

If there are enough boys interested in table tennis. Coach Astle may soon arrange a tournament for the indoor

25 Baker Wildcats Prepare For Track

17 Lettermen For Year ’38

Under the direction of Martin Seidel, senior letterman guard of last season, the McPherson college football aspirants are again in action in a series of spring practices on the college field.

“Many textbooks used in schools today are not yet free of material that breeds international dislikes and love for war. Any effective education for peace must be based on sound classroom procedure." M. L. Beck, professor of education at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, thinks the best service the classroom can render is to set up a defense mechanism proof against fallacious reasoning and high-powered salesmanship.

Emporia—Ten College of Emporia basketeers have been recommended for varsity letters by Coach "Bud” Selves. The recommendations will have to be approved by the athletic hoard and the players must complete scholastic requirements before the letters are awarded.
