Smallest Bible Is 1/2 In. Thick

Pullman. Wash.—(ACP)—A library oddity at Washington State college is the "smallest Bible in the world,"

The tiny volume—only one and one-half inches long and a half-inch thick—contains the full text of both Old and New Testaments. So small is the print that the Bible is equipped with a minature magnifying glass fitted into the back of the binding.

Three debate teams from Tabor college of Hillsoboro met debate teams at McPherson college last Friday afternoon and evening. The debates were non-decision but were for the mutual practice of the teams. Six different teams represented McPherson,

The debate coaches. Dr. D. W. Bittinger and arold T. Wiebe of Tabor, gave constructive criticism to each debater following the various debates. Practice debates such as those are probably more beneficial to the participants than are those in which only a decision is given.

Read Their Editorials?

Austin, Texas, Dec. 19—Do college students read the editorials In their campus newspapers? The college editor often feels what may be the apparent, futility of composing and publishing editorial comment, but statistics on college reading habits just produced by Student Opinion of encouragement and furnish one Surveys of America bring a new note measurement of the power of the undergraduate press.

Nearly two nut of every five students in a national sampling declared that they had read the editorial matter In the current Issues of their respective school papers published when the pull was being conducted.

Interviewers over a cross section of representative colleges and universities stopped students on their campuses, and placing before them the editorial page of their own newspapers. asked, "Have you read any of the editorials on this page?” Those who answered yes were further queried, "Completely or only partly?" Here is the national tabulation:

It is not possible to assume that those who said they had read the articles only in part may be included with the regular editorial-reading public college newspapers enjoy. Some of the "part readers" may have. gathered the gist of the articles, while others may have read just a few lines. What is pure, however, is that Only one-fourth of the national enrollment during, this typical week selected for tho survey had not as much as skimmed the editorial columns.

Parade of Opinion By Associated Collegiate Press

America's college newspapers saw little hope late last spring for union of the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations. But swift-moving events have changed the view. The concensus of undergraduate writers now is not only that prospects are good for ending factionalism, but that a truce in the near future is imperative.

Commenting on the resignation of CIO president John L. Lewis, the Cornell Daily Sun says that "the next move necessary to the unreserved cooperation of the nation in the preparedness program is the unqualified unification of the forces of labor. With the workers of the nation split into two camps, it is impossible that the program can go forward with the best cooperation."

In the opinion of the Michigan Daily, President Roosevelt’s victory and John L. Lewis’ defeat gave rise to one of the brightest hopes for labor unity in the last years. The mass of both organizations have common interests and are desirous of uniting them. In many cities there are joint labor councils, joint journals and joint strikes when necessary. Consciously and unconsciously the workers in both organizations have been united in political action. That the CIO and AFL are not joined in an effective union today is an indictment at the democratic processes within the organizations that allow the leaders to block the will of the members."

Thu Amherst Student joins in the view that "any move toward union could not appear at a better time. Yet opportune as a combination now of the opposing camps might be and ridiculous as their struggle seems, there is more concerned in their continued separation than the more personalities of Lewis and Green. The whole organizations of the two unions-differ; one has herded unskilled workers together, the other skilled workers. One represents the proletariat of labor, the other the aristocracy. But although the difficulties are extensive, they cannot be as important to fight OVER as labor’s cause In general is important to fight FOR."

The Dartmouth refers to labor in general in a discussion of production bottlenecks involving labor disputes, and contends that these bottlenecks arc two-sided, "The talk" says the Dartmout, "is all about eliminating the right to strike. There is not enough talk about eliminating the abuses that cause strikes. Obviously it would speed defense preparation if strikes were made fewer. Just as obviously, it takes two disputants to make a strike. If America is sincere in seeking to stop strikes in order to defend democracy, she will" do well to look just as sharply to the practices of the manufacturer as to those of the laborer.”

General benefits to come from labor’s turning its back on the "reds" are envisioned by the Daily Kansan. President Roosevelt," says the Kansan, "would like a united, well controlled, anti-Communist labor front to work with him in courting business. Sidney Hillman (labor co-ordinator of the rearmament program) would like to free labor from the restraint of the Sherman anti-trust law. If He could unite the CIO and AFL in an alliance acceptable to the president, he might get what he wants and probably would co-operate-with the administration. If Hillman can get the co-operation he wishes, Roosevelt may get the 'red’ purge he wishes within labor ranks. If the ‘reds’ are purged, business may work with the administration with greater harmony. This is Roosevelt’s answer to Mr. Willkie's ‘loyal opposition’; either way, business can’t lose. .

To The Editor

There is nothing quite so griping as a griper. Griping has come to be such an Inherent subject In this college that It may soon he Included In the requirements for graduation. It has come to the point that one Is out of place In the college dining hall If he does not gripe at least three times a day. (I wonder how many of us have ever complimented the cooks on a particularly luscious meal!) Innocent freshmen, who are accustomed to eating what is placed before them, soon enroll In the griping class, because after all. If Upperclassmen and the college paper consistently endorse such a subject, what else is there for them to do? Naturally, not every meal is going to satisfy each of the hundred or less tstes. because tasters are simply not constructed on a uniform basis..

Then, when one cannot complain of the food, or for the sake of variety, it seems appropriate to gripe concerning a simple rule established by the matron. (A good citizen Is subject to countless rules in this game of life.) College journalists even

seem to sonsider it wise (or spacefilling ) to duplicate In the largest headlines of the college paper, articles mimicking such a rule. This should be classed as Inferior Journalism to say the least. Certainly If we are not satisfied with existing conditions. we might at least be dignified enough to complain In a courteous manner.

Just exactly what do we mean by freedom of the press? To me it always meant that anything could be printed that was the truth. and was not stated in vulgar or profane language. Well, apparently It means something else. It seems that around here it is not a matter of printing the ismple truth, but the printing of the truth as long as it does not tramp on the administration's or the school’s toe*.

On just what basis does the administration clal many rights to limit the material printed in this paper? Noton the basis that the material printed herein Is false, but on the basis that It runs down the school; It Is bad forthe school's reuptation. Yet I have not round any false statement, or hold lie in said paper.

I believe the constitution of the United States says In effort, that freedom of speech, worship, and press is a right Hint Is not to be infringed upon. That Is true around here too. Yes! Just as long as it doesn't trample the administration's or the school's toes.

I, for one. aim to practice all three freedoms mentioned herein Just as long as I am physically and mentally able, or Just as long as the editor will print what I write.

Thornton McDaniels. showed wonderful control In handling the hall and also played well on the defense Squeak Meyer, made conspicuous by his spectacular long shots, did an excellent Job of guarding throughout the game Art Schubert and Rollin Wanamaker both did well In their guard positions. Cal Jones. Bob Brust. Lee Unruh. Junior French, and Russell Reinecker all showed up well in handling the half Had the men been able to hit with their shooting, the score would have been a different tale. In spite of tough luck. McPherson college should show up well in conference games. Following is the box score:

B-Team Wins Over El Dorado B’s, 20-16

McPherson B-team was victorious Saturday afternoon over the ElDora-do Reserves with a score of 20 to 16.

Starring both defensively and offensively, Bob Burkholder chalked up 8 points, closely followed by Kirk Naylor with 7 points. The wore at the close of the first half was 7 to 4 in favor of McPherson.

BE MEAN was the only rule for "Meany" day set aside by the Buch-telite, University of Akron student newspaper, as the day for students to grouse and gripe, the day to he mean to everybody.

The old days of custard pie movies came back when a real meany tossed a piece of lemon meringue pie at a co-ed . . . and hit his mark Another co-ed got her face washed in the snow. *

One meany poured water in a coed's high rubber boots; another stu-dent got the hot-foot: while still another man's shoe strings Were tied together while he was sitting in the student building cafeteria

Someone mixed up nil the hats and coats in the checking room while someone else was dumping snow Into all the boots.

A student was given a raw hamburger In the cafeteria, so he took It into the kitchen and cooked it himself. Then he refused to pay for It.

One meany's dirty trick backfired when he shot his own hand with a toy cannon he was firing to frighten other persons.

Some unsuspecting students found themselves blue at the mouth after drinking cokes "flavored” with ink.

One fraternity man was the victim of a band of other mean Greeks, who cut off his necktie, smeared his face with lipstick and chased him all over the campus.

Over 300 Colleges Pension Teachers

United States, Canada and Newfoundland have adopted definite method's to provide retirement pensions for the 70,100 teachers on their staffs.

These figures are revealed In a survey by Rainard B Robbins, an insurance executive, who reported his findings In a volume Just published by the Columbia University press.

Most prevalent of the various types of retirement plans evolved since the turn of the century, Mr. Robbins

Marlys McNight says that when she was counting the words in her two thousand word theme, she had to count with the ticks of the clock In her room. If she missed a tick, she had to start over. “I tried hiding the thing under the bed. but I could still bear It," she continued with a giggle. By the way, Marlys was voted the champion giggler at her school last year. She couldn't have had much close competition.

There are no retirement plans in 290 institutions, and no information on the subject could he elicited from 128 others, according to Mr. Robbins,

"Twas the night before test time and way through my head, I hunted in vain for bits I had read. Not a though was stirring—not even a mile. My brain was off duty, quite cold for the night. Onward, turn Onward. O Time In thy flight, and make test time tomorrow two weeks from tonight."

Wesleyan Again Makes High Scores

Kansan Wesleyan university, of Salina defeated Friends university of Wichita last Wednesday night 62 to 34. Although scores are not particularly significant, this should show that Wesleyan will again have a high scoring basketball team as they did last. year.

Friends had defeated Bethany college earlier this season by not too close a margin. So Bethany would logically be considered weaker than Kansas Wesleyan.

Bethany has scrimmaged with the Bulldogs on at least two occasions and at that time many of the spectators considered the Bulldogs the better team. Pre-season dope is not In the least reliable, but everybody likes to have something on which to base his guesses.

Three Teams Win In Volley Ball

Intramural Program Should Be Finished Soon After New Year's

The East Town, Dorm 2nd Floor, and the Dorm 1st Floor intramural team* were victorious in the first round of the volleyball tournament. The first games were played Wednesday afternoon, and several close matches were witnessed.

The East Town team defeated the Dorm 3rd Floor In two games, taking the second handily 15-8, after winning a close Initial match, 16-14. This win has established them as one of the strongest aggregations in the tournament.

In the meanwhile, the Dorm 1st Floor was having little difficulty in defeating a poorly represented Elyria squad in spite of the valiant efforts of "Dutch" Goering They relied over the Elyriaites. 15-S and 15-3.

The Dorm 2nd Flor, led by Funk, had considerable difficulty in polishing off the College Hill team In their first match, 16-14, but they came back strong In the second to defeat the Hill team 15-10,

A* the volleyball schedule is being filled, the first round ping-pong matches are also being played off. A great number of matches are yet to be played. however, and Coach Hayden has threatened to forfeit them unless they are played within a few days after the Christmas vacation is past.

The Bulldogs take on their first Central conference opponent of the season when they meet the strong Fort Hays Tigers this evening at the enemy camp. With only one conference game behind them, the Canines play their third non-conference content of the present season. In their other two non-conference affairs they divided wins with the El Dorado Grizzlies.

With the reserve strength gaining more experience with each encounter, Coach Hayden's squad is showing more power as the season progresses. Although early season dope is unpredictable. a close game Is expected tonight.

The Bulldogs will he out seeking revenge for a bitter defeat during the grid season at the hands of the Tigers, and they are confident that they will turn the tables on the State Teachers in their two meetings on the maples this season.

Coach Hayden will probably start the aatnc five which he has started regularly In the games thus far. At forwards will probably be Bobby Brust and Calvin Jones. Brust, a Junior and a regular on last year’s cage team, has starred at forward this season after being shifted from guard. Calvin Jones another letter-man on this year's squad. is one of the Bulldog mainstays this year.

Thornton McDaniels, a tall freshman who is going great guns for the Canines this year, will probably Mart at the pivot position, which ha la sharing this season with the veteran Rollin Wanamaker. Art Schubert, probably the steadiest player the Bulldogs had last season. Is expected to start at guard, along with Raymond "Squeak” Meyer, of football all-conference fame.

On the sidelines ready fur action will be Junior French and Lee "Benny" Unruh, freshmen who can split the hoop and who were among the beat in Central Kansas high schools last season; Kirk Naylor, and a good amount of other reserve power.

Tonight's game will be the last for the Bulldogs until after the Christmas vacation. They will meet their next opponents when they travel to Wichita January 9. where they will meet the strong Friends University five.

Climaxing a thrilling finish in which buckets were rained freely by both teams, the Bulldogs bowed to the Braves of Ottawa Wednesday right In Convention Hall. The final score was 38 to 34, and the game ended amid a mad scramble for pos-session of the ball.

Bob Schupbach, speedy Brave. was the high scorer of the contest, along with Cowan, Ottawa, and McDaniels. McPherson renter, who was credited with 3 points. Brust. Unruh and Schubert trailed McDaniels In Mc-Pherson's scoring with 6 points apiece

The last few minutes of the game was a free-scoring period, with both teams opening up and dropping In baskets from every angle. With a minute and a half left to go. Ottawa ted 38 a 32. and "Red" McDaniels made the tally which decided the final score. 38 to 34.

The half-time score was 16 to 12 in favor of Ottawa, and following the Intermission the Bulldogs began trimming the Brave's lead. From then on it was nip and tuck, with the score keeping the crowd on their feet for a great part of the last half.

It seems as If McPherson college— an a member of the Kansas Conference and a four-year college Is sticking her neck out quite a bit when she engages Junior colleges in basketball games—heaven forbid football games. A nice headline In The People's Choice newspaper would be Junior College Defeats McPherson College. Strong Contender for Kansas Conference Basketball Leadership.

Much hotter should the headlines be—State School Ekes Out Victory In Last Few Seconds of Play Against a Strong. Stubborn McPherson College Team.
