There are seventeen entrants, necessitating a preliminary match before the first round. In this match Eugene Lichty opposes Fayne Oberst for the right to play in the chess tourney proper.

All matches will consist of two out of three games. The winners should report after each match to Esthel Ikenberry. Strict rules of tournament chess are to be followed, and no minor infractions are to be allowed.

A high-light in the social events of the year at McPherson college, the 10th annual Booster Banquet, will be held tonight at the Convention Hall. Governor Payne Ratner of Kansas will be the principle speaker at the gala affair, and from five to six hundred students and friends of the college will hear him speak.

About one hundred students are helping to make the banquet a success by acting as waiters and waitresses at the affair.

The banquet will start at 7 o’clock.

John B. Allison, McPherson banker and oil and gas operator, will serve as toastmaster of the banquet. The Flory sisters of McPherson college, and Pascal Davis, McPherson, will provide special music. Rev. R. M. Truesdale, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, will give the invocation.

Toastmaster, Allison will introduce the many guests who are expected to be present, after which the McPherson college vocal ensemble, directed by Prof. Nevin W. Fisher, will sing “The West,” by W. B. Olds. The ensemble will be accompanied at the piano by Miss Anne Janet Allison.

Dr. Schwalm will give the annual “report from the college.” He will give a brief review of the activities and the college during the past year and the aims and purposes of the future.

Dr. C. E. Rarick, president of Fort Hays State Teachers college, will be the first guest speaker. His subject will be “The Church College in the Educational Program of Kansas.” His talk will not be more than 10 or 20 minutes in length. Following this address the college male quartet will sing two numbers, “On the Sea,” by Dudley Buck, and “The Sleigh,” by Richard Kountz.

The principle address of the banquet will be given by Gov. Payne H. Ratner of Kansas. What his subject will be has not yet been learned by college authorities but it is presumed it will deal with some phase of the Kansas educational program.

   College officials report that Gov

ernor Ratner will be accompanied by Mrs. Ratner. The Rainers plan to return to Topeka following the ban-quet.

Four To Compete In Peace Contest

Next Sunday evening Dale Stucky Wayne Crist, Louise Sanger, anti Freddie Ikenberry will compete in he local Peace oratorical contest to be held in the college church. The contestants have spent much time preparing their orations.

The winner of the local contest will represent McPherson college in he state contest to he held in Mc-Pherson soon. Prizes are awarded to the top three in both local and tate contest

Elma Minnick and Roy Robertson have been chosen for the leading part in the senior class production, “Tovarich,” which is to be given on April 26.

Tryouts on Thursday, March 21, play. This preliminary casting gave revealed a tentative casting of the the following seniors a part in the drama: Margaret Kagarice, Evelyn Amos, Audrey Hammann, Dave McGill, Winton Sheffer, Jack Oliver, Leonard Vaughn, Galen Stern, Tony Voshell, Marjorie Kinzie, Verda Grove and Redell Cobb.

Three major parts were left uncast on Thursday afternoon. Yesterday the three major characters were chosen, the two leads, and a supporting character.

The part of Tatiana, exiled Romanoff Grand-duchess, is to be taken by Elma Minnick. She is well-known for her Thespian work at McPherson college.

Mikail, her royal and dizzy hus-band, is to be played by Roy Robert-son. Robertson has had no stage experience at McPherson college, but starred in several productions in Pretty Prairie high school.

The character of Helene, a major supporting part, is to be portrayed by Kathryn Enns, a newcomer to the footlights of McPherson.

It is said that the play has great possibilities. The sophisticated audiences of New York enjoyed it immensely. But it is not at all too difficult a play for college actors to attempt. “Tovarich” pictures two emotional members of Russian royalty, who through comedy and tears sacrifice themselves for an ideal— that of puting the Russian Czar back on his throne.

The scene of the action is in Paris, where Tatiana and Mikail are forced to become servants in a wealthy Parisian home in order to eat. It is a modern play. It uses, in a different way, the theme of "Come Out of the Kitchen” and “Clarence.”

The New York Post said when “Tovarich” was running in New York, “The most delightful play New York has had the chance to enjoy in many a blue moon.”

Work on “Tovarich” will begin today, according to Prof. Ralph Stutzman. director. By April 26, the senior class expects to give a sure-fire performance of a delightful comedy, “Tovarich.”

Quiet Hour Is No More

Several Sunrise Services Solemnized Sunday

For the last of a series of sermons for the Lenten season delivered on the “I am’s" of Jesus, the Reverend Bernard King chose for the subject of his Easter morning sermon at the First Church of the Brethren the text “I am the resurrection and the life.” The Easter theme stressed the importance of Jesus' reassurance of eternal life and that the power of the church lay in its doctrine of life.

“Modern life places emphasis on its materialistic basis and tends toward forgetfulness of more abid-ng values,” stated King. “Life’s in-tanglibles are the only changeless things, and it is a life of simple faith in Christ which gives meaning to living.”

The Spectator Sees —

Plain Damn Orneriness’’ Is Pound Among Peoples All The World Over

Explaining the motives behind the recent actions of a certain country in Europe, one Macampusan this week was heard to say that the people living in the country were “just plain damn ornery.” Those were the words he used to show why nations can’t behave themselves.

This homey bit of philosophy, needless to say, is a gross generality. Most mankind has the trait of orneriness. It is a common asset. No nation has a monopoly on orneriness, or even an edge on the market.

The mythology of racism has crept into the thinking of most citizens in this country, and it has crept into, the sphere of legitimate argument. Charles A. Lindberg writes that we “build our White ramparts again.” A letter to the New York Times recently said, “To solve the question of German aggression, the Germans themselves need to be reformed, biologically, to mitigate their propensity for stupid violence.

Of course the Fascists have been proficient in the fine art of stirring hate by mythical and “biological” explanations of the struggle in Europe. “The German race, that is | our faith! It has higher rights than all others . . . We have the divine right to rule and we shall assure ourselves of that right.” And again, “The British have one characteristic in common with the Jews and with certain Negro and South Sea tribes. They regard themeslves as the chosen people . . . without any qualms to his conscience, the Englishman can cheat, lie, ravish and violate—all in the name of his national honor.”

One British professor has said, “The Englishman need only try to fit his head with a hard hat in a German hat shop to realize how different is the skull-formation of the two peoples.” His counter-part in Hungary has said, “The German is an idealistically gifted, theoretical, deeply moral race . . . ”

The eminent historian, H. G. Wells, has said that the German people have an “ineptitude for reality.” We always thought this was only a character trait of the ostrich. Wells goes on to say that it is a “misfortune for mankind that Berlin was not soundly bombed, as it could have been, in 1918.”

Mankind is just “plain damned ornery” in general. As the sage of the prairies has said, “They’s bad white men and they’s good white men, just as they is bad Injuns and cussed Injuns and mean niggers and Methodist niggers.”

Science upholds this viewpoint. The American Anthropological Association refuted such racial “analysis” by unanimously adopting the following resolution:

Race involves the inheritance of similar physical variations, by large groups of mankind, but its psychological and cultural connotations, if they exist, have not been ascertained by science . . . Anthropology provides no scientific basis for discrimination against any people on the ground of racial inferiority, religious affiliation, or linguistic heritage.

Biological determinists are talking about a “fight to the finish between European individualist civilization and Asiatic horde civilization,” about. . . “some emotional quality in the German nature that “makes it especially susceptible to the impulses that lead to self-destruction.”

Walter Duranty has said, “What I know is that the Russians, generally and collectively, do not like to trek alone and are afraid of the dark. The Finns, on the other hand, are an individualistic race, accustomed to going out and cutting timber in lonely forests.”

Harold Denny says in the New York Times, “The Russian peoples are as contradictory and hard to understand as their system and its results . . . Their minds simply do not work as ours do.”

John Stuart Mill once said of this type of racial argument, “Of all vulgar modes of escaping from the consideration of the effect of social and moral influences on the human mind, the most vulgar is that of attributing the diversities of conduct and character to inherent natural differences.”

The American Committee for Peace and Democracy recently has said, “Practical consequences in the United States resulting from ‘racial’ thinking are multifarious and inflammatory. Besides inspiring a contempt and hatred for the people of nations at war, racism leads to persecution of minorities in our own country.”

Nobody in particular is “plain damned ornery”; we’re just all “plain damned ornery” in general. It’s a common human virtue, touching all mankind.

At The End Of Euclid

By Donna Jean Johnson

Jim Crill rushed from a classroom one day in search of a dictionary saying, that he had used a word in class, and now wanted to find the meaning of it. So there you have the secret of this huge vocabulary. Heavens! Maybe he even invents his own words.

The inspectors may have been very impressed by the new files in the Central Office, but what must they have thought of the patched windows in the chapel? Might not be a bad idea to start a fund for the Unification of Window Panes. Would you like to contribute?

Easter vacation found Irene Ewing, Lois Kennedy, and Joyce Bratton visiting Helen Davis in Colorado. But Lenora Kanel related the high light of her vacation by greeting every one with: “I took a ride in an airplane.” Her boy friend is an aviator, you know.

M. Lizzy Hoover must have enjoyed herself, for ‘‘The Roy from Plattsburg” came.

However, Dr. Naumann assumed the role of Bunny Rabbit and distributed Easter eggs.

Lafayette, Ind.— (ACP)—English 30, ancient history, algebra and kindred subjects of higher education probably will have to take a back seat at Purdue university next month when the teaching staff of the Professional Golfers’ Association of America moves in to take over the task of teaching the Boilermaker student | body—how to play golf.

April 10 and 11 are the days that have been set aside for a general pow-wow on how to swing a golf club correctly, the occasion being a golf clinic—first thing of its kind ever held in this country and possibly the forerunner of similar mass seminars to be held elsewhere on college campuses under P. G. A. auspices.

The clinic, part of a broad educational program that is being launched by the P. G. A. this year, is expected to play a large part in the scheme of the pros to stimulate interest in the game among college students and thus add to the constantly-growing number of followers of the ancient and honorable pastime.

Tennis Squad Met Last Wednesday

A tennis squad meeting was called last Wednesday by Coach W. Pierce Astle, head of the athletics department of McPherson college. At this meeting were present Ernest Reed, Carroll Crouse, Al Whitmore, Wesley DeCoursey, Burns Stauffer, Carl Macmillan, Calvin Jones, and Donald Davidson. All of them are planning

Coach Astle announced the squad would probably be cut down to six men soon. Practice will be in the physical education building until the courts can be worked into shape. According to A1 Whitmore, who is in charge of resurfacing the tennis courts, they will not be ready for another week.

A squad tournament will be run off next week, probably starting Thursday. This will give a line on the potentialities of the tennis squad.

Softball Club To Be Organized

The Softball Club of the Women’s Athletic Association will he organized this week, announced Juanita Weaver, the manager of the Softball Club.

Preliminary round match: Eugene Lichty vs Fayne Oberst.

Intramural wrestlers are taking the limelight these days. Merlin Myers, Phil Myers, Sam Elrod, and Earl Jasper are among the leaders of this ancient sport.

We noticed several athletically inclined men strutting around our campus the other day in garbs that would even disgrace the old attic. Upon investigation it was learned that it was just the plebes joining the “M” club and this garb that they wore was part of the initiation day exercises. Couldn’t hardly imagine some of the boys winning athletic laurels for our college, though.

Why not organize some sort of hard ball teams in college for some after supper recreation? We have a good playing field which would be available. Interested?
