Surprisingly Few Collegial Cut Classes

Yet Majority Opposes Compulsory Class Attendance

By Student Opinion Surveys

Austin, Texas, November 22—How devious in the problem of class cut-ting? Are many college students wasting their time by railing to appear at lectures? How often does the average student cut a class?

Those are questions that have per-haps been answered locally In many schools. but a national study, as far as is known, has heretofore never been possible, Student Opinion Sur-veys of America, leaving the field of social and political Issues this week, has used Its coast to coast Structure to measure the extent of class cut-ling going on today on the American campus,

6270 Cut No t

The survey reveals that a good majority (62 per cent) during a typical week in October attended all their classes The remainder of the students interviewed (38 per cent) declared that they had cut at least once. But over half or these (20 per cent) missed class only one time during the week.

Here are the national tabulations: Cut no classes during week 62% Cut one class    ■ 20%

Cut two classes.     10%

Cut three classes .... ......4%

Cut four or more classe......... 4%

Less than one per cent of the students refused to answer the question or did not remember. Tests conduct-ed by the Surveys have shown that on questions such as this very few ^students fail in give truthful answers, so the results above should give a satisfactory Indication of con-ditons over the nation. The entire United States is represented because the schools In which the polls are conducted, Including McPherson college make up a proportionate sample of all types of educational institutions as listed by the U. S. Office of Education,

64% Opposed Compulsion

In the connection with this poll. it may be recalled that last February 64 per cent of the collegians in a Survey expressed the opinion that compulsory class attendance should be abolished.

Although the frequency of attend-ence Is quite uniform from one sec-tion of the country to number. New Englanders and Southerners appear to be at the two extremes, in the north-east corner of the nation cuts are at a minimum, only 25 per cent or the students having missed one pr more class during the week of the poll. In the South over half of them. 57 per cent said they had cut at least once.

Staff Extends Sympathy

The Spectator Staff extends, its sympathy to Robert Rathbun. freshman student, whose father passed away last week.

Have A Good Time

Thanksgiving vacation begins next Wednesday at 4:00 p. m. and ends the following Monday at 7:30 a. m. It was stated by Dean Boitnott, The Spectator will therefore be unable to publish issue number 11 next Friday causing great rejoicing on the Spec-tator staff.

World Has Many

Unachieved Opportunities

"The world is full of unachieved

opportunities . , . and the duty of every student and faculty member is to perfect and improve these un-achieved possibilities.'' Prof Robert Miller of North Manchester College, Indiana, who holds a position compar-able to that of Dr Metzler. believes that youth of today need not pass through the same defeats our parents experienced.

The insights which Prof. Miller has been giving at the college church during Religious Emphasis week have come through many years experience as a teacher, paster, and writer Wednesday morning's chapel was giv-en to a discussion of the technique of worship.

"Worship is a fine art by which I can sensitize those qualities by which the universe is formed." The tech nique of worship strengthens those who participate by getting them to-get her into close relationship.

Another benefit is that It keeps us from becoming slaves. Property friends or whatever it may be "is safe to you if you can lay them down and give yourself to the unattained possibilities of the moral and spiritual world." Worship sensitizes the appreciation of life's finest values.

Much time is given to the servicing of the physical body, but of no less importance Is the servicing of the delicate inner being. The awful in-spiration of the pause at sunrise and sunset helps one to keep the governor belt of poise a when the inclination is

strong to excommunicate it from our lives.    

Lastly, worship helps us to become aware of the bigness of our task “Man Is the size of the job he does," We can and must broaden our view of life’s opportunities and visualize the greatness of the task that lies before us. Worship expands all dimention-of life.

Thirteen Remain On Dean’s List

Seven Seniors. Two Juniors, Four Sophomores Retain Privileges

As the mid-semester term comes to a close we find 13 students remaining on the Dean's List. from the list at the end of last year.

’Any student who received a grade of B, or better. in all courses in which he was enrolled during the preceding semester (with a minimum or twelve hours, will be placed on the Dean's list,

"A student on the Dean's List is required to attend at least two-thirds of the class lectures and to do satisfactorily all required work, But he is otherwise exempt from regulations affecting absence from classes. A student on the Dean’s List who fails to maintain a grade of B, or better, in all his courses will be removed from the List at mid-semester," ^states the McPherson college catalog.

Since It Is Impossible to be placed on the honored list of Dean Boitnott at the end of nine weeks, unless one's name was already there. some stu-dents' names will probably not ap-pear this time, because of their not being in school before or because they did not make the list at the end of last year

The senior class had the following students on the List: Maurine Ander-son, Ramona Fries, Marianne Kreu-ger, Ernest Reed, Dale Stucky, Paul Thompson and Fredrick Wiley

Helen Davis and Lena Belle Olwin were the juniors making the Dean's List.

The World At Large

Molotov's visit in Berlin is still the point of greatest Interest In International diplomacy. Germany is believed to have sought to ally Moscow's apprehension by offering to Russia either the Dardanelles, the historical aim of Russia's foreign polities and some part of Turkey, or access to the Indian ocean through Iran and a sphere of Influence In Afghanistan and India, where Russia and Britain

have been in conflict since the middle of the 19th century.

It is amazing how long a time It takes the Italians to whip little Greece. Germany's help in this busi-ness seems to be put off. perhaps because Molotov thought that there might be something Russia would like better than a strong Germany In the Balkans.

An Associated Press report from Gibraltar declared that the United States was going to send a cruiser and two destroyers to the Spanish-occupied port or Tangier, so as to safeguard American. Interests. The same report, however unconfirmed, added that a U. S- naval base has been planned at Tangier.

IRC Is Given 6 Books

Granted six new books by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the International Relations Club extends an invitation to the stu-dents to read any or all of them, when the library finishes cataloguing them and places them on the I-shelf.

Albert Viton. GREAT BRITAIN, An Empire in Transition. Since the attention of the wrold is now centered as never before upon Great Britain, there could not be a better time In which to read a balanced review of the development of the British Empire, of Its successes and constructive accomplishments as also of its mistakes and failures. This is no time to evade facts, and you will find them set forth In this book. It's readable and fair, and therefore peculiarly adapted to the use of the International Relations Club.    

T. A. Bisson. AMERICAN POLICY IN THE FAR EAST, 1931-1940, This careful study gives the record of the United States in Its dealings with the Far East from 1931-40. An Introductory chapter comments briefly upon events prior to 1931. in view of the grave situation arising in Far East because or British withdrawal, this volume should he particularly helpful.

James T. Shotwell, WHAT GERMANY FORGOT. There are facts which not only Germany but we ourselves are likely to forget. No treaty In the world has ever been so much discussed as the Versailles Treaty, As the author points out. "It is still olive. By the strangest of paradoxes the more Hitler Insists that It is dead, the more it remains the issue In the diplomatic war which is just beginning," A careful reading of this book—Or even the single last chapter—will disclose how pertinent the understanding of past failure is to the study of the present tragedy.

Sir John A, R. Marriott. COMMONWEALTH OR ANARCHY- Published In 1937, this hook has recently been reissued in a second edition with not substantial alternation of the original text. It “sets forth the more Important 'Project' which, during the last four centuries, have been formulated for the avoidance or international war." This tells only half the story, however, because the historical settings in which these various “Projects" have been developed are also set forth as Judged by the distinguished British author, and give life and Interest to the text

Cesar Saerchinger, THE WAY OUT OF WAR. The author reviews In these pages the events that led up to the present world tragedy. These events are familiar to us all. but the special value of this presentation is that it analyses and comments upon them as they relate to war in general and to present war in particular. Since this book was written—January. 1940—the skies have grown increasingly darker but the statements made are none the less true and deserving of consideration, Walter Lippmann. SOME NOTES ON WAR AND PEACE. In looking toward the future, one of the chief requisites Is for us to keep our feet on the ground even while our heads may well be held in the air. This phamphlet, masquerading as a book. Is a plain, straight talk supporting above-named requisite. It can be read through In 15 minutes.

In spite of Roosevelt's declared Thanksgiving holiday, students of McPherson college still have their vacation to look forward to. It is rumored that an insurance agency handed out red pencils with their 194 0 calendars. On the red pencil was printed. “Mark your own holidays. We aren't sticking our neck out!” Does anyone have a watch crystal that needs replacing? Then Just bring it to Conrad Burton—he will fix it!

Students who wish to matriculate in accountancy for the degree of master Of science must have completed satisfactorily at least three years or study at an accredited liberal arts college. Two years of collegiate preparation has been the requirement hitherto.

Wesleyan Wins KCAC Football Championship

Baker Is Second;

Ottawa, Defending Champ, Is Third

The Kansas Conference season this year was one full of upsets and mix-ups. Many of the teams which appeared winners ns they won their openers ended pretty well down in the final standings. Other teams, especially Bethel and College of Em-poria, had the potential strength but could not click until the season was almost over.

McPherson was one of the most highly feared aggregations in the conference race this season and held most, of their victors to low scores for the season. The Bulldogs are expected to be title contendere next year with the return of practically all her regulars, Coach Tom Hayden, the Bulldog mentor, is being praised for the splendid way in which he handled the team, and Bulldog fans are optimistic about their fu-ture prospects.

Ottawa Domination Ends

The conference race has come to a close this season with the Ottawa domination brought to an end. After two consecutive years of undefeated conference play the Ottawa Braves were finally toppled.

Wesleyan Has No Conference Loss

To replace Ottawa as conference chumps. Kansas Wesleyan university went without a defeat in conference play. They knocked off Bethany, Bethel. Baker, College of Emporia and McPherson, without much difficulty, and the single blur on their record is that they were held to a tie by the Braves,

Baker Starts Slow, Ends Second

The team which landed in second place this Season was the Baker Wildcats, who came back after a bad start —a loss to the Bethany Swedes by a one-point margin—began rolling over their opponents, and after they lost to Kansas Wesleyan, they took  their position in the conference with a crushing victory over Ottawa 38-0.

Ottawa Ends Third

Ottawa had to be content, with third place with three wins, two tosses. and a tie to her credit. She lost her opening game to the McPherson Bulldogs and her only other defeat was at the hands of the Baker Wildcats-—this was after she bad been weakened as some of her players were called to duly in the national guard. The Braves held the Wesleyan Coyotes to a tie.

Leading Team Drops to Fourth

Bethany began the season by leading the loop, but when the smoke cleared away she emerged in fourth place. She won over Baker, McPherson, and College of Emporia. Bethel, Kansas Wesleyan, and Ottaw succeeded In bumbling the Swedes.

M. C. Ties For Fifth Place

Below Bethany was McPherson, a surprise team this year, which opened its season with a win over the strong Ottawa Braves, and it was the first conference loss which the Braves suffered in three seasons."'She stopped Bethel after a hard battle, and lost a heart-breaker to Bethany and College of Emporia 7-0. She also lost to the strong Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes and the Baker Wildcats.

C. of E. Jumps, to Fifth Place Tie in a tie for fourth place was College or Emporia. with two wins and four losses to her credit. She also had a poor start at early season and by the season's end there she had become the most dangerous eleven In the conference Her wins were over McPherson and Bethel.

Bethel Holds Cellar Spot

Holding the cellar position for the second consecutive season are the Bethel Graymaroons. The Gray-maroons consistently outgained their opponents this season but lacked the scoring punch. Their sole win was over Bethany.

Kansas Wesleyan held only a 6 to 0 lead at the end of the first half and it was not until the last half that McPherson's defenses started crumbling.

Both teams played on fairly even terms the first quarter, however, the Coyotes reached the Bulldog's 20-yard stripe only to lose possession of the bull when Brust intercepted a Salina pass.

Wesleyan’s first touchdown came early in the second quarter. Smith pul the hall in scoring distance with a 25-yard run to the 17-yard line and a first down and then Davis went through the line to score. Davis attempted to kick the extra point but failed

A few minutes later the Bulldogs reached Wesleyan’s 20-yard tine but lost the ball on downs before any serious threat at scoring could he accomplished. Wesleyan then started a charge down the field to reach McPherson’s 20-yard line. After getting up to the 17-yard Hue on the next

Freshman an sophomores will oppose each other in their annual grid contest sometime next week, instead of trainy an originally planned, ti was learned late yesterday, Cause for the change was not learned, but it Is supposed that the weather played Its part

The interclass struggle will take place next week before the Thanks-giving vacation. If the freshman win, they have the privilege of dis-carding their caps, but If they lose or tie, they must save them for the spring, since they are then supposed to wear them from Easter till the end of the school year.    

W-a-a hoo is right! Edith "Muscle Bound" Spangler showed her ample power by hurling a man size bowling ball against the play room wall and knocking a chunk out of it. Of course. It slipped out of her hand, she says, but what would have happened If she had really hurled it?

Volleyball Attracts Athletes

Girls of M. C. are certainly athletic-minded! Enough girls came out Monday evening to make four teams of volley ball. Other than breaking a few rules and a few fingernails, the girls think that they know a little more about the game than they did— and practice makes perfect!

Cooking your own meal Is one thing, eating it is another. And when you eat your meal that you cooked yourself, that's worse. Girls of the Outing club went on a hike last week and prepared their own meal. There seemed to be no ill effects. At least, they weren't shown. Even with all of these things going on In the different W. A. A. clubs, the play day plans have been completed and the event will be carried out tomorrow morning at 8:30 There's going to be plenty of activity around Macampus tomorrow since at least 80 girls and 13 sponsors are planning to attend.
