A Three-Act Play, “R. U. R.” With Epilogue, To Be Fall Production

Machine-Like Individuals Revolt and Conquer Entire Earth

VOL. XXI

Dramatic Club Selects Drama

Robots Rule World

"R. U. R ."? Yes. "R. U. R."! The above is the name of the fantastic melodrama which is to be presented by the Dramatic Art Club of the college. Preparations are rapidly being made for presentation in November.

The three acts of the ploy, together with the epilogue, ar laid on an island somwhere on our planet, and on this island is the central of-fice if the factory of Rossum's Universal Robots.

The play opens a few decades beyond the present day. At this time the factory has already turned out. following a secret formula, hundreds of thousands, and even millions of manufactured workmen, living automats, without souls, desires or feelings. They are high-geared laborers, good for nothing but work.

The play is a magnificat melo-ing to critics, with the handful of drama superbly portrayed, accord-human beings at bay while the unseen myriads of their own robots close in on them. In the end we find Nature has won out after all.

One Interesting feature of the play is its unusual plot. Don't fail to inquire about "R. U. R.” Announcements of the play will be made at a later date.

What Do You Say Freshman?

"Whatta you say freshmen?" was the familiar request on the campus this week, and “beat Bethel" was the reply, as the old tradition of “sounding off" was revived.

The students arc at last steaming their pep up to normal—a fact plainly exhibited at the pep chapel Thursday morning.

. Crabb's pep band, always eager to play, were ready with some snappy tunes. But look there-—Patsy Hum-feld! who is much more popular on this campus than an of the famous child movie stars. She first won her audience by singing "Sing Baby, Sing." and then to the same tune, her nimble feet went into a tap dance. Hot-cba!

Even “In The Best of Families”— so they say. "I gotta go-—-back home" said Bill Fry, but Estelle, his wife, knew not that the train tickets were in his ."blue" trousers,

Hubbard led in a few rousing cheers, and then "Hip, hip, hooray! see you at Bethel."

S. C. M. Candlelight

Inspirational Service Held In College Church

A challenge was given by Miss Shockley for each one to meet opportunities of today in preparation for the future. Each girl was given a candle which she lit from a candle held by a member of the cabinet, with their lighted candles the girls formed a friendship circle and sang a verse of "Follow the Gleam" to conclude a most Inspirational service.

Schwalm, president of McPherson College, concluded the district conference, which was held here at McPherson from Friday to Monday inclusive, by bis address. "Worldiness — Menace to the Church."

“Worldliness” Final Address

of class brings many a head, bowed in deep slumber, up with a bound, and day dreamers back to the realm of the classroom.

During this cold epidemic. Mother Emmert gets a chance to exercise her medical abilities by prescribing little brown pills and soda water. And for a sore throat she rams a long stick, with a wad of cotton on the end, down your neck. Ugh!

The common cold causes a heavy drain on the student's purse. The laundry bill goes up, and the Kleenex company prospers.    

The moral of the story is: Take advantage of opportunity- Now Is the time to drink beer, for no one will ever know but that your red nose is a result of an ordinary cold.

“Happy birthday to you, etc.." runs the old song. And the squeals of surprise and pleasure which filled the halls of Kline on Wednesday evening were mingled with the "Happy Birthday" which greetd the much-astonished Rosie as she saw the troop of Klinettes fairly swoop upon her. We are very sure that there were exactly two squeals omitted which have never been and never will be duplicated in the annals of history— past, present. or future.

Being very much disinclined to receive so many whooping happy warriors all of a sudden, the guest of honor sought shelter and protection in her neighbors' clothes closet. "She laughed 'till she cried," was literally true of Rosie. Having extricated her from various and sundry books, and hands which insisted up-on hiding a shy, blushing counte-

Dr. J. D. Bright Addresses S. C. M.

“Unhurried College Student" Subject of Discussion Given By Dean

Dr. Bright talked on the subject of "The Unhurried College Student" In the general meeting of the S. C. M. Tuesday morning.

Edna St. Vincent Mallay's well-known poem.

My Caudle burns at both ends

It will not last the night.

But oh my friends and ah my foes

It gives a lovely light, was used as an example. While having one’s candle burning at both ends is not desirable one should be sure that the candle is burning at one end.

"Hustle," said Dr. Bright. "Is bad form, leisurely living is better however this does not mean getting by.'

Thomas Jefferson and Elisa Lucas were given us examples of people who accomplished a great deal without hurrying. The way to make the most out of college life is by taking time to do it. It Is necessary to use mind, backbone and moral fiber in attaining the highest value from college. College experiences should lead to careful and profound think -ing as well as balanced living.

One has time for everything be wants to do whether it be listening to the World Series or reading the newspaper. Actually there is more time in college for one to do as he pleases than in later life. It is a wise idea to budget your time from 35-50 hours a week for study, 8 hours a day for sleep which will allow sufficient time for recreation.

‘Mental poise as well as physical poise calls for unhurriedness. In conclusion Dr. Bright suggested that students take it easy, allowing the proper amount for work, study and play.

Prince and Darling Of Campus Problem!

Girls, who is your "Prince-Charming?" And boys, who is the darling of the campus? Something new and unusual is in store for the lads and lassies of the "school of quality."

His majesty, the king, and his beautiful queen will reign over the M. C . kingdom with poise, power, and peace.

In collaboration with the faculty, fifteen couples will be chosen to be voted upon by the students. Five glamorous couples will be nominated for the final, grand contest. Popularity. attractiveness, and ability will be the major factors upon which the decision will be based.

Watch for the candid camera fiend! Have care, dear ones, or your instructors will see you snoring away the hour that you should be in class.

With the able guidance of Fred Nace, and Stephen Stover, and the excellent assistantship of Gordon Bower, things are “going to happen.” Good for the exotic day—the day when the king and queen are crown-

Yoder Gives Address

Plight of Japan and China is Topic of Chapel Discussion

Dr, J. J Yoder led in devotions and gave the address in chapel. Wednesday, October 20.

"West and east may meet some day" he said, "and that is our con-cern. Most interesting to us in the isolation of Japan for two hundred years when the outside world knew nothing about it. Then Commodore Perry opened it to the world. From that time on Japan has been growing at top speed.

' The whole of Japan is not as big . as Kansas and the land supports 430 people in the square mile: while there are only 42 people to the square mile in our country. Japan needed land.

There were only two methods of obtaining it. They could make trade treaties or take it by force. They could not make successful treaties so they are today taking the alter-native method, which is the modern method. Of course. It is terrible, but that is the situation. Japan is in China to take it, and, geographically, is in the only place in which she has any chance."

Crawford and Brown At Meeting

Miss Jessie Brown and Mr. Loren Crawford attended the state Activities Board In relation to music contests, Saturday, October 16, at Topeka, Music directors and instructors from high schools and colleges all over Kansas were present.

Director of Adult Education From Elgin Addresses Sunday Groups

Did you hear a bunch of noise Friday night. Must have been some excitement around. Oh, yea, to be sure—a football game!

Certainly the student body snap-ped out of their shells and displayed a noticeable interest in football. Some think it was the cold weather that prompted such enthusiasm, and that they had to yell to keep warm. Others believe that it was all because the Bulldogs showed a marked improvement in their playing. Whatever the cause tor such an outburst of pep, the students really had the football spirit and gave the squad their whole-hearted support.

When Mr. Harold Butler, director of the TLO was in Washington this summer, the conversation of a group surrounding him turned to the race in armaments. A member of congress expressed doubt that the nations could ever be made to disarm. Mr. Butler's answer was "they will have to disarm."

The facts on which that statement was based are steadily gaining the forefront of public attention.

"They will have to disarm" because the present enormous preparations for war are threatening every nation with social and economic disaster only less than the social and, economic disaster caused by war itself.

Already in Europe labor and industry alike realize that their reviving prosperity is endangered by the huge expenditures on non-pro-ductive weapons of war. In the United States, the effects are less severe but the ultimate consequence must be the same. Furthermore, the United States. If the rearmament program for which it bears its full share of responsibility resisting in a second economic collapse in Europe. Will suffer along with other countries.

Whet are the underlying facts which make the present arms race point direct to chaotic economic collapse, in spite of the fact that its

I see by the papers the charter of Purdue University makes the provision that, on the board of regents, shall be" . . . one farmer, one woman. one person of good moral character ..." Is my face red! I feel some- thing like a Fox who bet on the Giants.

Koheieth was right, there is noth-ing new under the sun. In the code of Hammurabi, about 2000 B. C., is  found the provision. “If a man bring an accusation against a than, and charge him with a (capital) crime, but can not prove it, he. the accuser; shall he put to death.” What a vivid way of saying. "Put up or shut up.” Another old boy with not so ancient ideas was the Egyptian. Ptah-hotep. who wrote a book of proverbs about 2700 B. C. 'He speaks of the past age of Osiris—those good old days. Don't argue with a man more able than you. he says—discretion is the better part of valor. Kind treatment of a wife is more likely to be successful than any attempt to use force. ... he must have been a mar-ried man!

Who was it—a chapel speaker or someone—-who suggested recently that everyone should have a castle In Spain? Don't you believe it— Spain is no safe place for castles these days. My castle was bombed and blown to bits—I guess it was away back In 1929 or 1930. But I picked myself up from the wreckage, found my princess, and moved Into a basement apartment In America.

"Yours, G. Green

By Marvin Cox (ACP)

Washington. D. C.—Twenty eight young college men and nine young woman fresh from the campus this week entered the government service as "internes" to learn about government from actual work In the departments.

The "internes" are sent here by the Institute of Public Affairs. They work for Uncle Sam purely for experience, receiving no compensation for their labors. Their expenses are defrayed by the Institute, by fellowships from their colleges and universities and, in some instances, by the funds of the "internes” themselves.

Next June, after their internships are completed, the students will return to college. enter private industry, or, perhaps, become attached to the pay roll as regular government employees.

The object of the Institute's work Is not to provide government jobs for the internes, but to teach them practical facts of government. However. If they prove their worth and “learn the business,” during their internships, the bureau chiefs, on the alert for able employees, may persuade the erstwhile "Interne" to ac-cept a permanent position.

Last year the Institute sent 30 “internes" into the government service and it of them remained to work regularly for Uncle Sam.

The Institute of Public Affairs, supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, each year selects high rank-ing college students to come to Washington and learn by work and observation what makes the government go round and round.

In addition to their government

work, the "internes” learn about the government by taking courses at American University's School of Public Affairs. These courses are offered the "internes" free, while other American U. students pay the regular fees. The "internes" may also attend lectures at the Department of Agriculture Graduate Schools, attend sessions of the House of Senate, and visit Congressional committee hearings where the most important legislative work Is accomplished.

If a report of the National Youth Administration is any indication, young college graduates should have considerable success in finding jobs this year. Despite the fact that business is usually dull in summer, the Junior Placement Service of the NYA reports that it placed more than 11,-000 young people in private jobs during July and August.

Many business men and industrialists prefer college trained men in their organizations, but rarely does any occupation exclude entirely employees who have not attended college. In Washington, however, there it one business which employs college men only.

The National Escort Bureau, which furnishes—-for a price— personable young man to excort date-less women to the Capital's night spots, will not consider any applicant who does not have a college background.

Incidentally, the National Escort Bureau is strictly business and no monkey-shines. The escorts must meet rigid requirements and are strictly prohibited from putting their professional engagements on a personal basis.

Mrs. M. G. Brumbaugh, and Dr. Claude Flory, head of the English department of McPherson college the past year, sailed Oct. 13 from New York for England, where Dr. Flory will take work at Oxford this next year.

Bank, bang went the wastepaper

cans down the steps and out the windows! Some girls either weren't sleepy or didn’t care whether anyone else slept. Perhaps it was done to take the place of the lack of pep on the night before football games.

One of the projects of the class in Playground Activities Is to teach games to the clam as though It were composed of youngsters. "Miss" Jasper was presenting a new game, but In between words her Jaws received a little extra exercise. Little Olive piped up. “Teacher, can I have some gum. too?” To this unexpected question the teacher replied. “Why-y this Is all I have."

Whether Dr. Boitnott was "trying to scare" us or "Just being comical” we sympathized with him in bis distress of half-vision.

During church choir practice, the alto section was to sing alone. To Indicate this in the shortest manner, Chris said. "Thank the Lord—for the altos.”

Doesn't this weather make one feel like a million dollars? And that moon on these crisp, snappy nights—

Well. well. Two senior girls took It upon themselves to help two freshie hoys become more skilled In tennis playing. Better watch them. Motile and Stephen, you never can tell what might happen when one becomes acquainted with a Lawrence Tibbett and his roommate.

I can’t resist! Didn’t Lucile and Ira Milton look romantic and contented. Sunday night? Lucile played the old family organ while Ira Milton held the light for her to see the music Indeed It was a quaint and old-fashioned scene stead spurred everyone on to more activity. By the way. we're all proud of our cheerleaders — don’t they look "snazzy” in those new out-

fits?

Dr. Bright can choose the most attractive subjects and texts. “Can you take it easy” or "The unhurried college student.” a sequel of 'Can you take it" had a unique approach with the line "Don’t burn your candle at both ends.”

Views from the choir loft: Nodding heads of the old attenders and chagrined looks on arousal from their snooze. Maybe the minister stopped for a second or raised his voice a degree higher.-—Little kiddies with their sleepy heads against their parents. The remembrance of that awakening by my parents to remind little me that church was out, was recalled with sympathy for youngsters in church on Sunday nights.—Closed eyes but no need for nodding heads in the choir loft.— The perfectly contented sleep enjoyed by college students. Embarrass-ment seemed not to be experienced even when nudged by someone close, Perhaps they're hardened from habitual sleeping in classes.—Sly glances were exchanged between a tall blonde football player and the short dark-haired girl who seems best characterised by the word, vacillating. Even a little “squeezing" wad part of their program for the church service. Maybe we can attribute her blunder at song leading Sunday morning to her sudden fervor.—Poor Ray and George just can't fit into the schedule of things together. Phyllis and "Jon E," seem to be the common element. Saturday night Ray came to church with the newly wedded couple while George worked. Sunday morning. George accompanied them while Ray helped get our dinner in the dining hall. Now my statement must be false, because Sunday night they attended church together.

Bulldogs Defeat

Bethel 13 to 12

McGill Snags Passes From Van Brunt And Mathiot To Score Victory

Rushing over two touchdowns In the first half. Coach “Buck” Asfle's McPherson college Bulldogs eked out a 13-12 victory- over the Bethel Gray Maroons at Newton last night. This was the first Bulldog victory of the grid season.

"Tennessee Terrier” McGill caught passes from Van Brunt and Mathlot to cross the goal line twice: The first pass of 12 yards from Van Brunt was the first touchdown for the Bulldogs this season. Van Brunt converted the extra point which was the winning margin.

Launching a determined attack In the second half, the Bethel aggregation.

led by Tubbs, Galle. and Co., Completely outrushed and outgained the Canines. Tubbs hefty Bethel fullback. plunged over two times for the Gray Maroon counters.

Statistics reveal that Bethel gained 250 yards from scrimmage and lost 64. McPherson gained 111 yards and lost 28. Coach Unruh's men totaled 14 first downs as compared to 5 for the Bulldogs.

Outstanding gridsters for the neighbors were Tubbs and Galle on offense and J. Goering, Zerger, and Buhler shared in defensive duties. The entire McPherson backfield played "bang-up” ball throughout the contest and the linemen often crashed through to bring down Bethel runners for a loss.

KANSAS CONFERENCE STANDINGS

Results Last Week:

Bethany 7; Kansas Wesleyan 0. Baker 9: McPherson 0.

Games Tonight:

Ottawa vs. Kansas Wesleyan at Salina.

Bethany vs. College of Emporia at Emporia.

Baker vs. Haskell at Lawrence.

Boy Maze in C. of K. Life

And that expresses the sentiment of the entire loop.

Thumping Pittsburg Teachers Gorillas 7-0 last week was quite a feat for C. of E. They have a tough schedule and are making the most of it. Like McPherson, they have several freshmen who will make splendid veteran material.

The Presbyterians entertain the powerful Swedes from Bethany In a conference battle tonight. Kansas Wesleyan Is host to Ottawa In an

encounter which may decide who occupies second place. IF the Swedes continue winning.

Sideline Scribbles—

One Important convenience of a new gymnasium will lie the dressing room for the visiting teams. It Is very uncomfortable for Bulldog opponents to dress and get ready on the main floor of the present building . . . . Six-man football, which began In a small school in South Dakota. Is Invading Western Kansas and 4s

proving quite popular there.....

Clad In a sheepskin coat, Jim Milne, who helped the Bulldog linemen and backs a few weeks a go. sat on the McPherson bench during the Baker game. . . . Baker players did a "war dance-slap shoulders" exercise prior to the opening whistle. . . Coach Liston lectured to his men during the half In their chartered bus which was parked near the edge of the , field. . . . Don't you think the fresh-men are doing au excellent Job of lining the field, or don't you? . . . . Sterling, which has a squad shortage.

Is doing remarkably well this season. They lost to Wichita U. freshmen 7-6 and tied Chillocco Indians 7-7. McPherson’s "B" team will face the Warriors at Sterling on Saturday, Nov. 20.

LET'S BURY THE SWEDES NEXT WEEK

Football. I find is a war-like game played on a quadrangular-shaped piece of level terrain, preferably sod-i ed. with an elipsical-shaped ball made from Caoutchouc obtained from the moraceous tree "Castilla Elastica” or

from the euphorbioceous tree "Manihot Glaxlovll"—which has been chemically treated along definite scientific principles that transform the raw Caoutchouc Into what is commonly known as rubber, a material

possessing a considerable degree of elasticity and which Is Impervious to air.

This elastic bag is enclosed In a portion of the tanned skin of a quadruped of the bovine family—and is then

properly Inflated through forcible Injection of sir. When the pre-

of the arbitrators produces a cataclysmic disturbance upon the field of action and the conflict that forthwith ensues in many respects resembles the primitive alley brawls of our well-known domesticated predatory, nocturnally-inclined felines.

Each of the warring factions Is apparently dominated by a vociferous dictatorial youth who calls frequent executive sessions during such periods as his cohorts retain possession of the source of contention. Out of these conferences there evolve certain apparently well-defined formations and movements which are controlled by heathenish, savage chants such as accompanied the tribal dances of the North American aborigines. These regular ceremonial formations suddenly erupt into converted mass action ending in violent physical contacts producing a scene of chaos which, with the lifting of the enshrouding dust stands revealed as a confused mass of tangled humanity.

Just beyond the designated boundaries repose a group of warmly clad auxilary units who. depending on their natures, nervously or phlegmatically await their Insertion In place of fatigued or disabled gladiators.

Although one should unequivocally denounce the vocal and physical manifestations of the disturbed mental equilibrium of the assembled adolescents and adults, yet grotesquely enough, prior to the completion of the contest. I became inoculated with some of the enthusiasm of the cheering and gesticulating multitude and found myself making nonsensical ejaculations and urging to even more scintillating deeds, young gentlemen with whom, strange as it seems. I possessed not even a speaking acquaintance. (With apologies to "the trail.")

Bulldogs Bow To Wildcats

Extending their losing streak to four games, the Bulldogs were subdued 9-0 by the invading Baker Wildcats in the second conference game last Friday night. Three times did McPherson penetrate the opponent’s goal line territory, but they lacked the necessary "punch” to crash over.

Conch Astle's men played stellar ball throughout the first half, despite the second quarter field goal by Kenny Brown, guard and captain of the Wildcats. Midway in the third period, however. Delafield. Baker fullback, whirled around end for the lone touchdown of the encounter.

Myers and Mathiot on offense and Barngrover, Weigand. and Goering on defense were outstanding for the Canines. Offensively, Stice and Delafield; and defensively, Brown, and Davison were stars of the victorious Methodists.
