Students may think the dormitory gets cold in the winter but they have nothing on. Dr. Claude Flory. Rhetoric instructor of McPherson College, on a year’s leave of absence. He declares in his letter to Dr. J. Daniel Bright. Dean of McPherson College, that he has worn his topcoat to all his classes at Oxford England. The rooms have proven to be very damp and chilly. Having been there only a week he has yet to experience many interesting happenings.

Dr. Flory is taking a course under the world's greatest authority on

Shakespearean literature, Edmund Chambers. The under-graduates are forced to wear gowns to all classes. The gowns are so dirty that an American housewife wouldn't use them to wipe off her stove he declares.

He viewed the opening parliament and stood twenty feet from the king and queen as they passed by in a coach. In his Buick. which is, quite a luxury in England, he has traveled to London and Shratford on Avon. He sends bis greetings to the students of McPherson College.

Twenty-two McPherson College students enjoyed a party at the home of Rosalie and Autumn Fields, Saturday, November 6.

During the evening Dr. J. W. Fields showed moving pictures of an extended trip into eighteen eastern states taken the past summer. Over half of the reels were in natural color. They included scenes of Washington D. C.. Now York City, Coney Island and many others.

Pictures taken on May Day of last year were shown, also pictures of a circus, unloading, which was in McPherson during the last summer.

Poem Received By Publishers

Miss Margaret Heckethorn, librarian of McPherson College received word Monday, Nov. 8, that a poem she had written called ‘Winter Music' had been selected for inclusion In ‘The Guild Anthology of Verse'.

The Henry Harrison publishing company located at 79 Fourth Avenue. New York, is publishing this anthology. This company is the largest poetry publishing firm in America and they specialize in introducing new poets.

It Is a distinctive honor to Miss Heckethorn and to McPherson Col-lege to have ‘Winter Music' included in an anthology of modern verse. It is hoped that a copy of the book will be placed in the library available to all students. Miss Heckethorn's poems have appeared at various times in the Spectator.

The anthology will bo issued in a distinctive format, clothbound and stamped with gold leaf. A copy will be sent to loading critics for review. The date for publication release of the book will be December 5. The Spectator is unable to print poem because of copyright restrictions.

Rev. Harper Will of Wenatchee, Washington, spoke on “Paths for American Youth” In the general meeting of S. C. M. Tuesday morning.

Mr. Will brought out the fact that young people of Germany. Russia, and Italy are building a new life. American youth will do the right thing if they keep their face toward Obrist. It is not sufficient to wish one's life to be of some worth. One must have a plan work and a personal discipline. If one is to get somewhere he must develop a technique.

“It is a wonderful thing”, said Mr. Will, “to pioneer with Christ.” If one's heart is sincere, if one strives for personal discipline and makes himself useful to mankind he will find peace and happiness beyond life's door.

Youth has a great many questions. Individual experiences and ways must be made. Youth can make its own discoveries and find the right way.

"Finally", said Mr. Will, "nothing is as satisfying as Christ's program. Christ is eager for youth to follow his program.

Following the McPherson college-College of Emporia football game last night, home-coming activities were celebrated at Sharp Hall, administration building of the college.

A program was given in the college chapel. Dr. J. D. Bright gave an address of welcome. Miss Gladys Shank then sang and Miss Elma Minnich entertained with a reading. The program was concluded when Conch Astle introduced members of the football team.

Tea was then served in the student union room. Fall flowers decorated the room, and the tables at which Miss Vera Heckman and Miss Edith Jasper presided.

Professor S. M. Dell and party left early Tuesday morning for the Twenty-eighth Annual Manual Arts Conference at Chicago. Mrs. S. M Dell. Irwin Bentz and Lyle Brower accompanied him on the trip.

Warrensburg Missouri. Mrs. Dell will leave the party, and Professor N. B. Grinstead, head of the department of Manual Arts at Warrensburg, will accompany the group with one of his major students.

The convention will be held at the Southmore Hotel, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Thursday night will be the banquet which will be the social highlight of the convention.

Several instructive subjects will be discussed such as "The Changing Social Order and Its Effects on Industrial Arts' and "What Can Industrial Arts Do for a Boy That Can't be Done in Some Other Department”.

"There is little to be attained in thumbing a ride in the rumble seat of a college curriculum," warns Dean Guy Stanton Ford, acting president of the University of Minnesota.

Is not the business of a university to educate its students against their will. What you get out of college and out of life will he a measure of what you put in it.”

"No more cleverness can take the place of the painful processes of hard and unremitting work.” Ralph H. Tapscott, president of the Consolidated Edison Company of New York, returns to his Alma Mater, to further depress the newest crop of freshmen.

The King of Kings" was presented last Monday night before a large gathering at the Brethren Church. The showing of this masterful production was made possible through the cooperation of a number of the churches of McPherson. The Rocky Mountain Hooking Company cooperated on sending the picture to McPherson.

The drama was begun during the ministry of Christ and ended with His ascension into heaven. Two hours were used in the showing of the picture, yet each moment held the attention of all, and it refreshed the gospel story in the minds of all who saw It.

One of the most elaborate scenes shown took place when Christ drove the thieves from the temple. Another scene showed the raising up of Lazarus from the dead and still another portrayed the crucifixion. These scenes were only a few of the most stirring scenes. As a climax to the picture the resurrection scenes were shown.

It was estimated that approximately 1,000 people viewed this portrayal of the life of hirst. An offering taken to cover the expenses of the showing of the films revealed an amazing sum of over fifty dollars received. This crowd was perhaps one of the largest in the history of the new Brethern church.

"What do you have to fall back on?” was the striking phrase used as a subject by Rev. Harper S. Will of Wenatchee, Washington, in his Sunday evening address at the Breth-ern church. November 7.

“The masses of people have nothing to fall bark on in event of a tragedy." stated Mr. Will. While one should not sit around thinking of possible calamity, neither will a Pollyanna attitude bring satisfaction and security. Some people consider land and home and an insurance policy as security, but these material things eventually prove unstable.

There in one thing In the universe which will make it possible for one to stand any suffering, any disappointment or any loss that might come to his life and that something Is ‘The Eternal God as a dwelling place, underneath which is the ever-lusting arm. Mr. Will concluded with the statement that God understands and knows each heart and its problems. Christ in his moment of anguish fell back on the everlasting arms and each of us ran do likewise with, un equal assurance of security.

“My personal grievance is that you are all to busy—you go. see-hear, play too much,” President Ada L. Comstock told young women at the opening exercises of Radcliffe College. . . "your lives are too broken by telephone calls, meetings, rehear-sals and other distractions.”

"The difficulty presented by de layed adolescence in college students can only be overcome by a desire on the part of the college to understand each individual and an attitude of cooperation on the part of the student in the enterprise of his education.” Dean Herbert E. Hawkes Columbia College, reports to Pres. Nicholas Murray Butler.

Miss Lehman, Miss Warner, and Miss Shockley attended teachers’ meeting at Lawrence. Friday, Nov. 5 and spent the rest of the week end in Kansas City.

"The struggle for life was thetopic for the address given by Reverend Harper Will of Wenatchee Washington to the Chapel assembly. Monday morning, as a part of Religious Emphasis week.

Harper Will recalled the famous statue of two figures struggling by Bernard, with the inscription underneath by Victor Hugo. "I feel two men struggling within me." Those two men are a coward and it hero, he declared. "This universe is no place for a coward, that is why we have so many failures."

"To succeed in life we must let the coward die." was Will's emphatic statement. He continued that silence, lies, and drifting with the crowd are characteristics of a coward. Life is not easy for there are high mountains, wide oceans and deep canyons to cross. Life is merely a highway with many forks; the one way for the coward and the other for the hero.

The first suggestion of Rev. Will's for becoming a hero was to do something every day which you are afraid to do. By this constant effort one will come to the place where he is afraid of nothing.

Make Jesus Christ the master of your life is the second suggestion." Will declared. "Christ made a supreme sacrifice at the early age of 33 years. We have lived too soft and comfortable a Christian life.” He then warningly said. "A chris-tain life is not easy, for Christ la harder to follow after than any other leader of the world."

Will then suggested the third step toward becoming a hero was learn ing to pray. "Prayer is girding up for battle,” he declared. "Prayer is touching the charged energy of the universe. There is abundant energy in the universe if we will only contact it. It will bring strength and stability to our lives." Rev. Will then concluded his talk with this statement. "Learn to pray and use it to fight!"

Florine Gnagy spent a few days with her parents in Warrensburg, Missouri, this week.

This is just one of the four dreaded weeks one’s college year—the week, when grades are revealed. It is the first time hopeful parents get a record of what their darling sons and daughters are doing. And, just in passing, it might be said that they are usually disappointed.

Then It la that college students begin to get letters from home reminding them, that they are in college for a purpose—to get an education; that they are neglecting to take advantage of a golden opportunity; that they must be running around too much, and giving their lessons too little consideration.

An elaborate production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s "Pinafore" has been chosen for the production at McPherson College on November 17 by the Washburn Marionette class. In addition, there will be a variety show of new, intricate vaudeville acts by the puppets.

Productions of the Washburn Marionette class, of which Dr. Arthur D. Gray is the teacher, have attracted nation-wide attention. A traveling troupe called the Washburn Puppeteers have given performances over Kansas and Nebraska the last two years.

This year, with a full-time director of marionette work, an expanded progam is under way. Millard Bryan, former teacher in the Wash-burn drama department who has worked with puppets for many years, has been engaged for this work.

Headquarters is in the workshop backstage in the Mulvane Little Theater, where complete machinery and working equipment for the manufacture of the puppets have been assembled.

With this equipment, purchased largely with money earned by the troupe at its annual production, and a full-time director, the night school class is for the first time in position to accommodiate all who wish to enter, with the approval of the directors. The class now includes Topeka business and professional men and women, as well an a number of college students.

Students are permitted to concentrate their efforts on the phases of the work they prefer most. Some like to model the features of the dolls; others the bodies; some work on the stage sets; costuming oc-suples of attention at a large number of women. Nearly all learn to manipulate the puppets, and are given parts In the annual show.

The class meets each Wednesday night in the shop. In the cupboards of the shop hang the marionettes constructed for former production, including Jack and the Beanstalk: All Baba and the Forty Thieves; Snow White and the Dwarfs; Uncle Tom's Cabin; The Coppersmith of Pagdad; the Neuremburg Clock: and two complete vaudeville shows.

This amazing entertainment will be featured at the McPherson College Chapel on Wednesday November 17. Both afternoon and evening performance will be given. Admission is 10c and 25c. The program is sponsored by the Dramatics Art Club of the College. Here is an op portunity to see and hear unusual entertainment by the Washburn Marionettes.

But wo college students have our excuses. After all, this is just the first nine-weeks, and it does take a little time to get adjusted to now professors and their methods. It is most difficult to study when someone is continually running in and out of your room. And it is exceedingly hard to find time to-do eyery-thing.

Nevertheless, students will drag their books off the shelf, dust them off, and open them to see what’s inside. They will make resolutions to study more the next nine-weeks, and go to classes again. But this zeal will last only a few days, and then grades will again be forgotten until time for them to be mailed home again. Worry! worry!

Imperialism of an economic type is by no means dead in the United States. The popular "Open Door" policy is pure imperialism and has been used by the Western Powers for the ruthless exploitation of China in their own interests.

Reverend Will Chapel Speaker

Rev. Harper Will, the guest speaker from Wenatchee, Washington, on our campus this week, spoke on 'Making the most of one's life,' in chapel, Wednesday morning, November 10.

"Many of us are throwing our lives away," declared Rev. Will, not suddenly or dramatically but very definitely, we are throwing our lives away through sin.” There is something in each ones’ make-up which will not do as he wishes it to. This something is the greatest problem of our lives. Frequently it is selfishness, often it is dishonesty. Either of these sins will eventually destroy one. Something should bo done about these sins for one can not get by with them. Many think they ran hide these sins, but they will inevitably write themselves plainly across the character of each one who possesses them.

There is a solution for the problem of sin. One might make reform resolutions but the fullest and most adequate solution is Christ who forgives and impowers us to overcome all sins. Mr. Will said, in conclusion, that this problem of sin was one of life and death and each of us can. If we have the courage, find a solution for this problem in Jesus Christ.

In Last Forty Seconds of Play "Redskins” Eke Out Victory With Pass, 7-0

Haskell Indians eked out the McPherson College, Bulldogs with a spectacular pass in the last forty seconds of play before a large Home-comping crowd yesterday afternoon.

Just before the game a flight of warplanes appeared over Haskell stadium. An attack plane in an spectacular hedge-hopping attack, which was soon followed by a zooming attack. Following this demonstration an observation army piano appeared out of the West. As this plane reached directly over the stadium, a large American flag was unfurled from beneath the fuselage and hundreds of poppies fell to the football field. While the poppies fell, a national guard bugler sounded taps in honor of the war dead. Bands were on the field most of the time.

Indians from several states were them to take part in the Homecoming celebration. Haskell Institute was nearly filled with alumni many of them football greats who formerly played with Haskell.

This afternoon on the college field, the freshmen and sophomores will trade blows in their annual "grudge" battle which will determine campus superiority. If the freshmen conquer their lowly opponents, they will no longer be required to submit to injustices imposed by the sophomores.

Both camps have been practicing every afternoon in preparation for this "big game.” Classmates of the participants arc urged to cheer lustily for the team (they will need it).

"Chief” Wiegand has released his freshmen roster which included such valiant vanguards as H. Stauffer, M. Fox, Charbonneau. R. Frantz, Owen, Karlson, Krueger, Lacquement, Orr. Crill, B. Stauffer, Davidson. Coppedge, Rodebaugh, Reed, Wolfe, H. Nincehelser, Ivan Keck, Kimmel, Kirk Naylor, and Moore.

An official list of the sophomore players consists of Blackwell. Saunders. Duncanson, Dadisman. R. Flory, D. Miller, Bowman, Diehl, R. Fox, Eisenbise, Fry, Carter, Beckwith, and Cobb. Other gridsters will undoubtedly suit up as sophomore representatives this afternoon.

Conference Chatter—

Watch for our all-conference selec-tions next week! Most of the choices will be based upon the individual performance against McPherson.

In the games tonight, don’t be surprised if Kansas Weslepan dethrones Baker. Ottawa furnishes plenty of competition for the Swedes.

It looks like a rout for Fort Hays at C. of E.. but the Presbyterians are accustomed to upsetting highly-favored opponents.

Bulldog Reserves Conquered By Swedes 19 to 13.

Coach "Buck" Astle's "Junior" Bulldogs" were conquered 19-13 by the Bethany "B” team in a freakish exhibition at Lindsborg last Monday afternoon. McPherson outplayed the Swedes until the fourth quarter when Coach Schaake's proteges turned loose their passing fireworks and netted three touchdowns.

Passes from Funk to Wanamaker accounted for the Bulldog touchdowns in the second and third periods. Funk also converted once for the extra point. A forward-lateral-lateral combination by Hall, Smith and Peterson provided two touchdowns for the Swedes. Hall crashed over guard from the one-yard line for the other touchdown and he kicked the extra point.

This particular contest was almost "off the record" for McPherson. In the first place, several McPherson gridsters forgot necessary equipment such as shoes, jerseys, and ankle wraps; thereby delaying the start of the game while they borrowed the articles.

But the most exasperating circumstance was the length of the game which continued until dark and made it necessary to turn on the field lights and use a white ball-

"Bud" Selves’ College of Emporia crew dumped the Bulldogs further. Into the conference dungeon to the tune of 14-0 in the Homecoming battle here last Friday night. .By capitalising on Canine fumbles and getting the breaks, the visitors spoiled the last home game of the season.

"Spud” Grockett, Emporia fullback, crashed over for touchdowns in the second and fourth quarters. Newland and Wasson kicked the extra points for C. of E.

Coach Astle’s men threatened to score in the last minute of the game when Mathiot picked up 21 yards on a fake play. He then tossed a 21-yard pass to Wanamaker, who was hauled down on the 8-yard line. The game ended before another play could be started.

Riddell Cobb, 133, McPherson College student, had little trouble in downing the crafty Terry McGovern, Newton. A fast second and third round, with McGovern down twice for the county of two and once for the county of five, resulted in points for Cobb. At the end of the second round McGovern was very tired.

Bill Carter, 129, another McPherson College student, won a technical knockout over Jim Ely, 126., Wichi-ta. In a slow first round Carter displayed a great deal of superior boxing over his smaller Wichita opponent and before the second round could start the Wichita trainer awarded the fight to Carter and Ely did not return. Those fights were on Wednesday night’s card.
