Student Council Adopts Budget

Plan Distribution Of Activity Money For Coming Semester Approved

Will Spend $650

Athletics and Spectator Allotted Highest Expenditures

The Student Council met a few nights ago and adopted a budget for the first semester- You the regular-ly enrolled students of McPherson College have each paid an activity fee of $2.50 at the Business Office, the proceeds of which are administered by your elected representatives in the Student Council. It is only right that you should he aware of the use to which this fund Is put.

The budget as adopted follows:

Spectator 20 per cent $ 130.00, Athletics 35 per cent $227.50, Debate 11.54 per cent $75.00. Dramatics 4.62 per cent $30.00. Tennis 2.30 per cent $15.00. Music 3.08 per cent $20.00 Women's Council 2.30 per cent $15.00, Student Christian Move. 3.85 per cent $25.00. Student Union room Depreciation Reserve 5.38 per cent $35.00. General Expenses 11.93 per cent $77.50. Totals 100 per cent $650.00.

To restate these same figures in a more understandable way. 50 cents of your $2.50 goes to the Spectator, 87 cents assures you admission to athletic events, 28 1/2 cents is your Interest In the debate program of the school, 11 cents allows you to attend the Dramatic events sponsored by the Play Production Class, 51/2 cents maintains the tennis courts for your use, 7 1/2 cents permits you to hear certain musical recitals on the campus, 5 1/2 cents indicates your support of the work of the Women's Council. 10 cents helps defray the expenses of the social program sponsored by the S. C. M. for the entire student body, 13 cents will be reserved to cover depreciation of the furniture in the student union room and 32 cents covers other expenses of the Council. Let us now consider these separate items In detail.

The Spectator receives 50 cents from each regularly enrolled student as a sort of subscription fee. Last year this publication closed the year with a deficit of $300.00. The constitution requires that the Student Council assume this debt. It is ob-viously impossible for the Council to include this matter in the budget at the curtailment of other parts of the regular program. An agreement has been reached that any profit of the Spectator this year will apply on the debt, and any surplus in the Council treasury will also he used to help defray this obligation. In this connection it may be stated that the financial conditions of the Spectator is very satisfactory to date and if present conditions continue, some surplus will accrue.

Athletics takes the largest portion of the Student Council Funds. Both the 20 per cent of the Spectator and this 35 per cent Item of the Athletic Board carry over into the second semester and apply to the funds then to be distributed also. We trust that you support athletics just as actively by your attendance and participation as you do financially through the activity fee.

The Forensic program this year includes application for membership in Pi Kappa Delta, national forensic fraternity. It therefore demands a somewhat increased budget figure. You will notice that it receives $75.00 the first semester: It will receive $176.00 the second semester, making a total of $250,00. The Student Council encourages you to get your moneys worth out of the forensic program of the school. Attend debates and oratorical contests, participate in them if able, show interest comparably with your financial support.

Dramatics, receiving $30.00 the first semester, will receive $20.00 in all probability the second semester.

Rev. Kaiser Speaks To S.C.M. Members

Recommends Bible Reading, Prayer, Stewardship For Christian Youth

Rev. Kaiser, pastor of the McPherson Christian church, spoke on "What Christ would tell the youth of today", in a general meeting at the S. C. M. Tuesday morning.

One of the first things Christ would tell youth of today would be to search the scriptures for therein Is eternal life. "Youth". said Rev. Kaiser, "needs a textbook of life as much as for any school subject." Chris recommended the scriptures of the Old Testament scriptures for their record of laws and historical value But in addition ho would recommend the New Testament for It is the story of the trials and turmoils of Christ's life so like the doubts of modern youth In regard to life and religion

Rev Kaiser suggested that a second message from Crist would be to find a language is which pray. Praying is a Christ given language and must be spoken that God will understand. One should be alone while praying and trival thoughts be put out of the mind. There Is an art in talking to God and a distinct value to be gained

Youth needs a friend, someone to be a companion, to be confided in. someone staonged than any physical friend. Youth can trust Christ to be that friend The lessons he taught have been proved and can be depended upon.    *

Another message    from Christ

would be to "Go ye into all the world". Modern youth is in need of a task This message which Christ gave to the youth of his day might well be carried out in peace, equality of men. and social problems.

In closing Rev. Kaiser Suggested that these lour messages bo bound together, a textbook of the Bible. a language to pray. Christ as a personal friend, and a task to perform. Make these the program of your life. -This is Christ's Message to youth-

Here are a few of the regulations concerning that Incredible creature, the "prim” coed:

3.    Girls who were invited to eat at the "ladies table" in the men's dining hall were accompanied by the dean of women.

occasions, when the chaperones took their duties seriously.

Why I Condem War

By Marvin Cox

(Associated Collegiate Press Cor.)

The University of Texas claims the distinctions of having the only self-supporting student union in the country.

Dr. Burton Metzler was a guest speaker at a district church conference at Kansas City, Saturday and Sunday.


In a world of ceaseless wonder where we have become blase yet credulous to the endless astounding truths; still we find it difficult to believe, without reservation, the following paragraphs. (This letter, written to his mother by Joseph Ellsworth Farthington, Ill., is reprinted here with his permission.) We may summarise our skepticism in there words: Can you Imagine? —Editor's note.

Dear Mother,

I have tasted the academic lotus and have no desire to return home. The pleasant dreaminess strangely disappears at study hours, and I accomplish incredulous amounts of work. Still I am not depressed by the morbidness of my surroundings, for I am too absorbed with my work. I use the descriptive "morbid” not through personal conviction or ob-servation, but only because of the frequency that I hour dissatisfied laments from my fellow students in the brief periods of metamorphosis I experience between the langorous indolence which the lotus induces and the daily intermissions of accelerated mental absorbtion.

I am living, according to my confreres, in a sort of mono-Utopia. They have in nowise prevailed upon me to enter the admittedly drear existence which hoy live nor have they succeeded In depriving me of the rosy spectrum which allegedly afreets my vision. I am quite happy having no desire but to continue life here indefinitely. I understand, however, that I shall be expelled in four years. I console myself with the hope that another similar institution may endure me beyond that time.

Another source of great pleasure to me is the personnel of our faculty —particularly those pedagogues in whose classes I am enrolled. Sometimes entertaining, sometimes stimulating, inevitably interesting, the instructors lecture, and frequently a one of thought is iniated, which might profitably continue for hours. The whistle rudely interrupts our cerebral concentration at disconcerting fifty minute intervals so that one's concisions mast continually be arrived at prematurely. Incidentally, my sedulous endeavor seems to be bearing the proverbial fruit. The frequent tests which are the recognized canons of mental development have thus far yielded nothing but A's which I understand means "acme”.

Most of the students are already anticipating with eagerness the approach or the Thanksgiving holidays. I, on the other hand, know that my departure will be watered with tears of sorrow and my return watered with tears of joy. Please do not imagine, Mother, that the fire of my filial love has flickered and died; it is unquenchable—eternal. I am devotee of a philosophy of education; I have learned what others may learn, sorrowfully in their be-latedness, four years hence. "Learning maketh a man fit company for himself." Furthermore, it one cannot get along happily in his own company, he is scarcely "fit company" for anyone else. The conclusion of the premise is, then, that education is the means by which one effects a proper adjustment to so-ciety.

Affectionately,

Your son Joseph

never done. For decades posterity will labor under the burden of debt. For decades posterity will reap the bitter harvest of another's sowing.

I condemn war. Not because I

know fear; not because my church sanctions peace; not because I have signed a non-combatant pledge; nor because I am unwilling to sacrifice. My condemnation is not a lack of patriotism, loyalty, or allegiance to my country. My position has not been dictated; it has resulted from a series of individual inductions and deductions.

I condemn war, because I am firmly convinced of the soundness of my own logic. I condemn war for its inherent injustice and its inseparable wrong. I condemn war, because my moral convictions forbid me to approbate it.

Student organizations at the University of North Carolina have banned the hectic "big apple."

Some said the floor on which most student dances are held was too frail to withstand the stomping.

Cow-education is the word for it,; it seems, at Eastern New Mexico Junior College. Bowie is helping put several youths through school. Bringing their cows to the campus, they are selling milk to pay expenses.

For the benefit of young fathers, the University of California has completed a schedule of baby's crying habits which may enable parents to arrange their away-from-home programs.

Serologic tests for veneral disease were recommended for new students at universities by Dr. R. A. Vander-lehr of the Public Health Service. Discovery of the diseases would not be a basis of refusing admission to a student.

2.    a conference on "Academic Freedom In the United Status," scheduled for the spring of 1938

3- a conference between American and Puerto Rican students on the topic "Puerto Rico's Struggle for Independence," sometime within the next year.

4. an Inter-American conference of university students of North and South America at which political, social and economic problems of the two continents will be discussed by students.

The ISS since the advent of Hitler has been aiding exiled German students to establish themselves in other nations.

Quarterbacks Recall Former Games

Thirty-five members of the Quarterback Club heard football tales of the past Monday noon when they gathered around the banquet tables at the Town Tavern to discuss the grid season pro and con.

To start with, Cleo Hill, former McPherson college football and basketball star, took the floor to tell about his most exciting game of foot-ball. It was way back in 1923, he said, and the Bulldogs were playing Bethany college Swedes. The game was fast and furious and each team fighting bitterly. "Toke" Carter was knocked out and remained "out" for several hours afterwards McPherson won the game but a comparison of the statistics of the same revealed the contest was a close affair.

Two guests of the club were members of this years Bulldog team. Mar-tin Seidel, guard, and Don Barn-grover, tackle, Seidel discussed "Why I like football.'' and Barngrover "What I expect from football after I get out of school."

Coach Jack Handle of the high school team and Coach Pierce "Buck" Astle of the college discussed their respective teams and past and fu ture games on schedule this week.

THIS COLLEGIATE WORLD


(By Associated Collegiate Press)

Charter members of a unique club at the University of West Virginia are still smacking their lips. The eleven boys, embryo foresters, are snake eaters.

It all came about in this case. At the university forestry camp, one of the boys brought back a six foot black snake. They didn't want the meat to go to waste, so the camp cook wrestled with it for a while and at dinner produced black snake roast as the main course.

The eleven charter members who had agreed each to eat an equal por-tion of the meat sat around the table, a little doubtful, but anxious to prove their sportsmanship.


“ Because of the aggressive and self-assertive nature of man the abolition of war is an illusory ideal. Yes. No.

"If you were a university professor and had the necessary ability, would you prefer to teach (a) poetry; (b) chemistry and physics?"

The test is designed to show the relative emphasis the students place on theoretical economic, esthetic, social, political and religious values. The other test is a "Personality


Larsen was certainly put on the spot at the party Saturday night. Philip Myers, who already knew the "catch' of “It.” approached Larsen and said, "Is it a girl"? ‘"Fraid so." quickly retorted Harold. "Do you like ’it"'? the persistent Phil asked. "Yes. I guess," was the answer. Vera sat on his right.

"The Gathering of the Nuts" was an excellent portrayal of the intended play. The Grandmother Clock did exceedingly well in hiding her face and Oliva, the picture, said she tried to look pretty since she was to be a beautiful adornment. Remember what Lyle said to her when she leaned against the wall?"—"you make a nice wall flower, Olive."

Some one ought to tell those misinformed grocery clerks at the Atlantic and Pacific store that they are laboring under a false delusion—the customer who buys from Ira Milton almost every Saturday is not his sister.

At last we changed tables! I'd like to become better acquainted with everyone and a re-arrangement of the dining hall seating more frequently would facilitate this wide friendship.

Would It have been wise to have sent a secret service agent with Nace, Kingsley and Bower? The question was merely raised.

I like—Lucile Cole's haircut; Marian Kreuger's soothing voice; the new coiffure of Esther Metz; that sleek, black hair of Verda Grove; that ruddy complexion of "Snow-shoes;" Phil Myers' life at a party. Mr. and Mrs. Breen's upholstered armchair; the dripping atmosphere of last Friday night; and the sound of a train these crisp mornings.

The novel class thinks the rest of us would be missing some of the

spicy things of life if Miss Smyth's conjectures were not retold. Lenore Shirk commented on the method of giving bonk reports. After the criticism Miss Smyth took a big sigh and uttered. "Oh. you crush me." fore reading a bit from one of the old novels. Miss Smyth explained. "This is almost too sentimental to read aloud " Indeed, it was.! Luckily, the actual proposal was cut from the book she was reading.

Old Man Winter is certainly puffing his cold breath at us these last few days.

Oh. for a camera! Mis* Warner and Miss Lehman decided they needed a diversion from work so two bicy-cles were obtained. Soon Miss Lehman began to puff and puff, and to add to the difficulty the chain kept slipping. Finally it came off and both stopped. Miss Warner, while fixing the chain, noticed that the tires had both been flat Now. picture Miss Lehman bicycling three miles buck to town with two flat tires. Is it any wonder she puffed?

"Foxy." you ought to change your betting policy. You'd better bet on the one you think will win, not the one you'd like to see come out ahead Discomfort must have been experienced as you sat on that cold ground. a chain around your neck and leg. padlocked to that cement bench.

Such popularity can't he denied! Jean Meyer, a freshie girl, had four boys go through the belt line on her birthday—and the year has sent begun. Diehl, it looks as it you're "tops" now.

What are we going to do tonight? Beat Baker, of course! Learn those yells, freshies; brush up on them, upperclassmen and let's make the heavens resound with the glories of our football team.

Add new ways of gate-crashing: Sophmores at Purdue rode down the Union dumbwaiter in order to gain admittance to the freshman mixer in the Union ballroom. And then were ejected.

The Council need not encourage you to attend plays, you will do that without encouragement.

Tennis revives a probable total of $50.00 for the entire year. This bud-get figure includes upkeep only and is based upon recent past experience. The proposal that the tennis courts should he resurfaced has received the attention of the Council, but we feel you will recognize the impracticality of attempting to accomplish this through the regular budget channels. Some special effort will be necessary if anything definite is done in this direction.

The Music budget of $20.00 for the entire year is used to defray the expenses of certain recitals on the campus to which all students are invited. Here again we urge you to avail yourselves of the opportunities which you have made possible through your financial assistance.

The Women’s Council is filling an unique place on the campus and receives a grant of $15.00 for the entire year

The Student Christian Movemen' reaches all students on the campus through the social events sponsored by that organization. Because of this general value, the Council has this year alloted them $25.00 for their social program for the year. Again we feel that you will no doubt avail yourself of these privileges, in fact we have seen you do so at the watermellon feed and more recent parties.

The furniture in the Student Union Room is subject to wear and tear every day of the year. In a few years, at most, the furniture will be worn out and obsolete. The council is this year establishing a Depreciation Reserve to which $70.00 will probably be contributed this year. This amount will be placed in a separate savings account at the bank so that these funds will remain in-tact until some disposition is made of them. Although we realize that this amount is insufficient, the Council considers it a step in the direction of sane administration.

The General Expense item for the first semester is necessarily large because the expense of publication of the Student Handbooks falls due in this period. Other expenses included in this classification are; stationary, printing ballots, flowers for shut-ins and funerals, and the purchasing of awards to be given at the end of the year. This burget item allows for the day to day running expenses of the Student Council.

You will notice that the items for Music, the Women's Council, and the S. C. M. are allotments for the entire year but included in whole in the budget for the first semester. The other items will have allotments in the budget of the second semester. The estimated total income of $650, is a very conservative figure. Any excess received above this amount will be distributed among the Spec-tator, Athletics, and a Surplus account on the basis of 20 per cent 35 per cent, and 45 per cent respectively.

We hope you now understand where your money goes. Any Student Council member will be glad to discuss the budget with you in greater detail.

"All freshmen must ask permission of a member of the Student Court for every date," This new ruling elicited groans of despair from freshmen at Midland College, Fremont, Nebraska.

To everyone's surprise the dish proved extremely popular—in fact the cook dashed In and recovered a large piece for himself.

At the Syracuse University they have—or rather had—a real fraternity man. In his enthusiasm for the life of a "Greek" he pleged and was initiated into two different organi-zation.

Apparently the dual affiliation met with complications, for both Alpha Sigma Phi and Sigma Phi Epsilon, the victims, found that he had brought them probation with the Interfraternity Council. Now the enthusiast, a tackle on the football squad, is concentrating his efforts on the gridiron again minus two pins.

They have clever frosh at Indiana University.

The tough lieutenant was addressing his men after the first long grind around the parade ground. "All those who feel unable to march around again step forward."

All the lads except one freshie stepped ahead. The "looie" looked at him and commented. "Well I'm glad I have one man that likes to march."

"Say, lieutenant. I'm so plum tuckered I can't even take that step forward." came the weak voice front the

rear.

tes' classic admonition. “Know thy self" is being taken seriously by Wellesley College.    Young women

who entered the school for the first time this fall were given four tests arranged to make them review their own attributes and consult their own experience.

Two of the tests have been used since 1932; two were given for the first time this fall. Following are some of the controversial statements and questions, from the alternatives of which the students are asked in indicate a personal preferance, included in one of the test:

Albuquerque, N. M,—(ACP)—— “Good risk" among the students at the University of New Mexico may continue their education by borrowing money from local banks at low rates of interest.

Tom Popejoy, executive assistant to the president said. "Students are receiving the maximum of credit at the lowest rale from all the local banks. Approximately a hundred students have already taken advantage of these student loans."

The plan of allowing students to borrow from the local bank is now in its second year here and, according to university officials, it is working satisfactorily. The University of New Mexico is one of the few univer-sities in the United States whose stu-

dents are receiving help from com-

mercial bankers.    

Evanston, Ill. (ACP) development of a mechanical "inner ear" to help deaf and deaf-blind persons to learn to speak was announced recently at Northwestern University.

Dr. Louis D. Goodfellow of the psychology department devised the new "ear" and named it the Gault multi-tactor, for Dr. Robert H. Gault, pro- fessor of psychology at Northwestern and director-general of the American  Institute for the deaf-blind.

The device translates sound into vibrations, so the subject, unable to hear, can get the "feeling” of sounds and by association, team to produce them.

The machine contains thousands of strings which, its developer said, "analyse the human voice into its component tones, and this makes sound intelligible to the human mind.

TEAM NICKNAMES Baker Wildcats

By the middle of the 1915 football season, fighting spirit had developed so much in the Methodist Institution that the team crushed Southwestern 13-0 (Which is a noble feat, today, also)

Because of the unususl showing, the entire student body marched to the depot, loaded the team into a lumber wagon, and pulled them one mile back to the campus.

A victory rally was arranged at which Coach Sheppard referred to his team as “a bunch of fighting wildcats". Publicity men immediately dubbed the team “Wildcats" and the name is an established trade mark for the Baker team.

Ottawa Braves

The land on which Ottawa Univer-sity is now situated formerly was

the property of the Ottawa Indians

who roamed the Eastern Kansas prairies in the yesteryears. When the Indians deeded this land to the white men, the "palefaces" agreed to carry on the Indian tradition in the new school.

Now the Ottawa Indians have become rich on oil land in Oklahoma and the Babtist school's football team preserved this memory by becoming "Braves".

- KENNETH BROWN "


Kenneth Brown. 192-pound Baker university guard, will be on the Wildcat starting lineup when his team meets McPherson college here Friday night in a Kansas conference game. Brown is fast, excellent in leading interference, a sure tackler, a good drop-kicker, and is used by Baker to boot the ball in the initial kickoff. Brown is an all-conference guard and unless a slight injury to his shoulder prevents, will be one of the mainstays in the Baker team Friday night.

E. A Thomas of Topeka, chair-man of the Kansas Conference, publicly verified the assumption of the Ottawa Herald that one attempt for extra point in the Ottawa-McPher-son game was legal and made the final score: Ottawa, 30; McPherson 0.

The extra point decision in question concerned the time when the kick by an Ottawa player was blocked by Earl Mathiot's helmet and tipped through the crossbars. It was apparently legal, but Mr. Thomas, who was referee, made no indication to count it.
