The two tyrannosaurs winded, held apart for a few seconds, glaring at each other with reddened, rage-filmed eyes: then with a tour, they charged anew, fiercely throwing their tons of armor-plated bulk into the hay.

Hartsough Speaks On Self -Justification

"Justifying ourselves is as old as the human race," said H. L. Hart-sough, who spoke during the chapel hour Wednesday morning in connec-tion with the Regional Conference program.

"We need to spend less time and energy in justifying ourselves and more time making improvements."

| Four correctiveness measures Were I advanced by Rev Hurtsough which.

if practiced, can help one to improve in the business of living. First, "have a set of mind that the Judgements of God are superior to the opinions of men. Secondly, right has a way of finding Its own. Third. It's the business of young men and women to live the Christian Life. And fourth. It is important for Christians to recognize mistakes, in their own lives. look them In the face, call them by their right names, and correct them.”

Upon his graduation last spring, Hammersley was granted a scholarship at the University of Missouri where he spent the past semester doing graduate work. During this time, he acted as laboratory assistant in the chemistry department at Missouri U-Prior to his graduation. Hammer-sley spent a great deal of time in research work trying to find a more satisfactory method of making syn-thetic diamonds. During his senior year at McPherson he was chief as-sistant under Doctor J. Willard Her shey. head of the chemistry department.

Chapel on Friday, February 22 was to commemoration of Washing-ton's birthday. Doctor V. F. Schwalm lead responsive readings and Galen Allen sang two solos. "When my Caravan has Rested" and "Mother Ma-ehree."

At a special chapel program last Tuesday morning. Miss Ruth Shriver addressed the members of the Reg-ional Conference and the student body of the college on the topic of "Child-mi." Miss Shriver is secretary of children's work in the Church of the Brethren. and is therefore well ac-quainted with the topic which she dis-cussed

Miss Shriver brought out the fan that although children live In a world which seems vastly different to them than to adults, yet they are similar to adults in many ways. Her talk was supplemented by numerous? stories and illustrations which made it especially interesting.

At the annual meeting of the McPherson College board of trustees which occurred on February 24 and 25. Monday and Tuesday last of this week, most of the plans for next school year were formulated.

With the exception of Dr. Schwalm, whose resignation was officially accepted by the board of trustees last Monday, the entire faculty has been kept intact for another year, as far as present plans are known. Most of the salaries were decided upon, and a retirement policy for the fac-ulty was considered.

One of the outstanding decisions of the board was that concerning the construction of the new boys’ dormitory. Plans have definitely been made to begin construction of the sixty-room. $50,000 building some-time this summer. Unless money for building purposes fails to come in anticipated. these plans will doubtless materialize.

Appointed on the building commit-tee for the new dormitory were the following E. A. Wall, Dale Strick-ler, J J Voder. L, Crumpacker. Harold Beam. Robert Mohler. S M Dell. Homer Ferguson. and Earl Breon Professor J. H Fries and

The A Cappella Choir has started Its annual drive to sell tickets for the formal concert to be given on March 7. 1941. In the High School auditorium.

Regular tickets may be obtained from any member of the A Cappella Choir. Prices are twenty-five cents for students and thirty-five cents for adults, not Including the federal and state tax. Because the seats in the high school auditorium are not numbered, seats will not be reserved individually, but will be reserved in sections.

The proceeds from the concerts will be used by the choir to defray the expenses of any trip which it might take. Besides the regular ticket prices, there are memberships for any supporters of the choir who wish to be ‘‘patrons". The patron list is growing rapidly and many more names are expected to be on the list before the programs go to press. The patron tickets are two dollars and fifty cents per couple. These tickets entitle the patron to a seat in a choice section of the auditorium, and give him the opportunity of having his name printed on the program as a "patron" member of the A Cappella choir enthusiastics.

After the formal concert of the a cappella choir. which is to be given on March 7. 1941. Professor Nevin W. Fisher and his group of singers will repair to the Warren Hotel for their annual a cappella choir banquet.

Youth Looks Forward Variety In Personnel

World conditions being what they are, it is extremely difficult for anyone, regardless of the breadth and scope of his information, to estimate accurately the relative economic advantages of the present defense program. As world conditions continue to become more and more strained, and more and more desperate, accurate thinking on an economic basis becomes increasingly difficult. It is difficult, because while one can readily see the possibilities of a national chaos, directly resultant from the defense program, he can hardly estimate what would be the result from a standpoint of economics were the United States not to launch this defense program.

Therefore, it ill behooves one to discuss whether this policy is a good or a bad one concerning the prevention or causation of the aforementioned national chaos. It is, on the other hand, relatively easy to estimate the far-reaching economic results of the defense program as it now stands. The youth of this generation has little to look forward to from a standpoint of economic unity and solidity.

During the fore-part of this defense program, while the wheels of industry are busily turning and while the quick-return investment capital is still out for "what it can get,'' the young people who are called into government service through the selective draft and for various programs, of general defense will not be in such straitened circumstances. When they come back, after their one or two years absence, there will still be jobs. It is that portion of this generation which will be called Into service the latter part of the four-year defense program whom it would behoove to look into the future.

After the estimated four-year defense program has stopped, and mind you, it will stop suddenly, and not coast to a standstill, the quick-return investment capital will withdraw in its shell and allow industry to disintegrate while it awaits new fields from which to earn an honest dollar. At this tmie, the national debt will have amounted to a staggering sum, probably $80,000,000,000 or even more, depending on the intensity of manufacturing during the next few years. When the “last-year" draftees return home, they will discover that industry has nearly bled itself to death, and further, that the toys who have been making airplanes, designing guns, building battleships, constructing barracks for soldiers, and doing the countless other tasks required for a defense program, —the lads who have been turning the wheels of industry will be back home hunting for jobs. And there will be no jobs to be had. While they are gone, all the peace-time jobs will have been taken by older men. What will they do? What will there be for them to do?

Industry's military shot-In-the-arm will have long since ceased to affect her, and manufacturing will be at a dead-end. Munitions factories, airplane factories, automotive factories, oil and gasoline refineries, steel mills, —all wartime industries will be shut down. Millions of dollars worth of equipment will stand idle and millions of men wil be idle.

Of course there will always be unemployment, but the evil inherent in such a procedure as this selective draft and defense program is this: only men who can meet certain specifications are accepted for military service, and only men who can perform with efficiency the tasks which are set before them may be used in the national defense program. Therefore, a program of this kind is merely shifting the balance of the unemployed from the ranks of men who are, in the main, too old or inefficient to work, to the ranks of young men who are able to meet rigid qualifications, These are the men who will help to compose the ranks of the unemployed of tomorrow—the life’s blood of our nation—young men who are healthy and strong, alert and efficient.

If, indeed, the national debt of the United States, at the end of a four-year period of defense program, is in the neighborhood of $80,000,000,000, what has the youth of today to look forward to tomorrow?—Inflation?—Perhaps, for certainly some drastic action will have to be taken in order to offset the apparent ravages of a period characterized by heavy national debt and unparalleled unemployment

A depression worse than any the United States has ever experienced is almost inevitable. How to avert it is one of the major problems of the economist today. The United States is facing a momentous crisis in her history.

If she fails to promote a defense program, she may be confronted with somewhat the same circumstances as was France in her past national crisis, and if the United States completes this defense program, she may be confronted with one of the most complete economic breakdowns which has ever come her way.

The only hope to which the younger generation of these United States may cling is that indomitable courage, that straight-from-the-shoulder thinking which is their heritage. These qualities have helped the youth of other generations in

Had To Obtain Degree In One Year Or Lose Money

Fayette, Mo— (ACP)—Obtain a college degree within a year or lose a gob of money. That's the ultimatum James Bothwell faced a year ago

last month.

P. S,; He got the gob.

Bothwell was graduated from Central college at the end of the semester, less than a month ahead of a $35,000 deadline. But It wasn’t a storybook finish to a romantic thriller for Bothwell. It was the end of the most strenuous year of his life.

Bothwell was astonished to learn in January, 1940. that he must have a degree by the time be was 25 to receive the legacy of an uncle. And on Feb, 19, 1941, he would be 25.

"I guess my uncle just wanted to be sure I had a college education,” be said, “but up until last year I had no idea of the terms of his will. And you see, I’d been out of college for three years.”

He had taken enough work In the University of Missouri to give him a major in mathematics, but still lacked 45 hours of graduating. So in January he closed his candy shop In Colombia. Mo., began commuting to Payette and enrolled In 19 hours of

College Church Orders Pipe Organ

Since the construction of the First Church of the Brethren church build-ing In 1926, the purchase of a new

pipe organ has been the aim of the congregation. Now that the church debt has become small, this aim has become a reality.

The goal of $5,000 by March 1. 1941. has already been reached, and it was announced by the church leaders that the remaining $800 must be raised by the time of Installation.

On Monday last, the order was placed with the Reuters Organ company. Lawrence. Kansas. According to specifications In the contract, the organ must be Installed and ready for use by May 20, 1941. Completion of the Installation by this date will permit the dedication to occur during the commencement week of McPherson College, during the last days of May and the first days Of June,

Consideration for the rights and feelings of others Is not merely a rule for behavior in public, but the very foundation upon which social life Is built. Therefore:

Never take more than your share —whether of the road when driving a car. of seats In a train, or food at

Nothing shows less consideration for others than to whisper, rattle programs, giggle, and even make audible remarks throughout a program. If someone behind you Insists on talking, it is never good policy to turn around and glare. If you are young they pay no attention, and if you are older they will probably continue the disturbance, for young people think an older person who Is angry to be the funniest thing (or sight) on earth.

Then what should you do? Well. just say amiably: “I’m sorry, but I can't hear a thing while you talk.” And if they still persist, you may ask the usher to call the manager.

Members of Miss Shockley's child psychology class had an opportunity to study child behavior at first hand last week when they visited the McPherson County hospital. They were able to observe various tiny babies and to discuss with Mrs. Smith, superintendent of the nurses, outstanding characteristics of Infants. The girls were permitted to ask questions about child behavior, which furthered the Information they had gleaned from class discussion. One of the projects of the child psychology class Is the collection of data concerning the traits characteristic of child-

Mission Board of the Church of the Brethren, from North Manchester. Indiana, has been the principal session-leader.

One Interesting side-light of the Ministers’ Conference was the joint meeting of ministers and student ministers last Wednesday night. At this meeting, the student ministers maintained a respectful silence while their more experienced contemporaries gave many helpful suggestions which should enable the boys to travel the same road without so many mishap as befell their predecessors, for "to be fore-warned is to be forearmed."

The Library Journal for February 15. 1941 quotes an excerpt front The New York Herald Tribune for December 6, 1940.

It concerns the library of the University of Texas, at Austin. After an absence of 40 years, a paper copy of Aucassin and Nicolette. valued at 50c but worth many times that much to the student of medieval French romance, was returned. The librarian estimates the penalties at $730. which was gladly waived upon recovery of the book.

Something of the sort has happened in our own library. Altho not as valuable a book as the French

Footlights. flashbulbs, and it's curtains for the rest of the cast as the leads take over the stage. Yes, yea: the new Thespian play. "A Doll’s House", gets underway. "Don Juan-two-to-go" McAuley calls out from his inner office for his little squirrel, and No-no Nora Davis responds with a will.

It's really pathetic the way the females of the play set mixed up as to whose husband is whose. At least, that's the way it goes with Virginia Kerlin: but even she is kept on the right truth with "G-Man” showing up far rehearsals each evening promptly at eight sharp to preside at prompting.

Oh well! What's the sense in writing a lot about nothing; but I suppose that that's really what I'm made for: to write 'something about nothing’. Shakespeare himself wrote "Much Ado About Nothing". Anyway. "Krock" Krogstad—In the person of Crill—enjoys the Readers Digest more at rehearsals than anyone else. No one else gets a chance. So far be hasn't expounded much on it. Perhaps some new idea will turn op In the future, though!

Surprises are In store for the audience, when it witnesses the piano team of McAuley and Slifer go to town with a tarantelle—whatever sort of fish that is. Oh yes, Director Stutsman says that a tarantella is a rather fast dance sometimes done in couples or solos accompanied with music, (Whose definition was that? Ed. note). The stage is too small for two pianos, but the boys will get along alright with the 'big-baby' grand regularly used in chapel.

He was trying to entertain last year’s and this year’s, or numbers 51 and 52 respectively, and keep them both convinced.

Washington, D. C.—(ACP)—The National Youth administration estimates its program for aiding students is enabling 150,000 undergraduates and graduates to continue their studies In colleges and universities.

The average monthly wage to undergraduates is $ 13.46, while graduate students are paid an average of $21.78. NYA fixes a minimum of $10 a month and a maximum of $20 for undergraduates, and a minimum of $10 and maximum of $30 for graduates.

Payments are being made from NYA's $13,713,225 fund for the 1940-41 academic year, which is prorated among non-profit-making colleges and universities on the basis of enrollment of students aged 16 to 24 .

Officials of the institutions select the students for NYA work and assign them to research and laboratory, clerical, building repair, library and other tasks.

Another highlight of the conference week was the mass meeting led by Paul H. Bowman, Sr., held for the: purpose of considering the Brethren Civilian Service Camps which the government is sponsoring for the conscientious objectors. A feature of these camps will be the instruction given In reforestation and reclamation project work.

During his stay, and when he was not otherwise occupied (You know what I mean) he stayed with the aforemen-tioned Roy McAuley, who, it is rumored, was quite well acquainted with Charlotte long ago.

He learned that some of his fellows could make arrow-heads better than he could, but that he could hunt better than they. The Idea of a trade occurred. To make these trades easier, he lived In a community. Laws developed. Codes of behavior arose. These became more complicated. Now laws were made, Finally the laws became so complicated that thinking men asked what was the principle that should guide In the making of laws. Some answered. "To preserve and hand on the accumulated findings of society;” some answered, "to make secure the things we have." Some said that these answers were not enough. Finally some of the men learned over the same lesson that the simple caveman learned in the dawn of time— that more came to him through cooperation. They decided that vener-ation for the worth of everyone In their society should be the sine qua non of their law-making. They realized that irrevocably Indigenous to intelligence was a natural law— that greatest life comes when best life is kindled in others.

But we must continually ask ourselves why we build our churches, why we maintain our governments, why we support colleges such as this, If we are to rest each nightfall a day's Journey closer to the goal of greater life. We must develop a serener atmosphere in our potty quibblings shout monotheism, polytheism, trinity.—leave these things to those Interested In philosophical specula-tions—and shift our emphasis hack to the law or love—greatest life comes when greatest life Is kindled in others. And by this measure let us conclude that the only test as to whether a thing Is right or wrong is not whether Paul, or Shakespeare. or Li Po approves or disapproves but whether It actually works to produce greater life In these, our fellow-men.

that this poem Is fitting,

If I should die tonight

And you should come to my cold

corpse and say.

Weeping and heartsick o'er my life-loss clay—

If I should die tonight.

And you should come in deepest grief

and woe—

And say: "Here’s that ten dollars that I owe.”

I might arise In my large white cravat

And say. "What's that?"

If I should die tonight And you should come to my cold corpse and kneel.

Clasping my bier to show the grief you feel.

I say. if I should die tonight And you should come to me, and there and then

Just even hint at paying me that ten, I might raise the while.

But I'd drop dead again.

Net Squad Aims At Conference Title

McPherson this year will have one of the strongest tennis teams in the Kansas Conference, and already the netsters are beginning practice in preparation for their quest of the conference title.

The team this year will have a great deal of freshman material, the outstanding players being Kenneth Nordling and Junior French, former McPherson high netsters. Kenneth Nordling, for years the McPherson city champion, is one of the outstanding players in Kansas. He has won several out-of-town tournaments. and while in high school he won the Central Kansas League singles tour and the regional tournament two years In succession. Two years ago, Nordling was the number 4 man in the state tournament, where he advanced to the semi-finals before being eliminated Nordling has worked out in the gymnasium and will be in shape when the season begins.

Ernest Reed, senior, Is the only squadman who holds three tennis letters. He has been In Kansas Con-ference competition for several years. and last your was number 2 mam on the squad. Al Whitmore, another senior letterman, is expected to do well this season. Whitmore can also mend the rackets as quickly as the squad can break them. Calvin Jones, Junior gridster and cager front Pretty Prairie, is also a tennis letterman, and will wield the racket for Macollege this season.

Junior French, versatile freshman athlete, is the other freshman product from McPherson High School and like Nordling, be has had a great deal of experience In Central Kansas League competition. Marvin Atchison, another neuter with a good deal of experience. will not be eligible because he is not taking enough academic hours.

Coach Hayden will pilot the tennis squad this spring, and he has indicated that he will carry out an extensive practice for the squad. Hayden was heard to say that he will prob-aly require as many practice hours as he has in other inter-collegiate sports

Austin. Texas,—(ACP)—Counting 34,000 plain old American pennies would be some Job—but imagine the headache currently borne by University of Texas Inventory checkers faced with a like number of ancient coins, ranging from early Greek to the Byzantine period.

The University's Swenson coin collection, housed in a six-foot high safe In the Texas Memorial Museum, must be checked each year along with all other State properly. Kept In 50 trays, approximately 1.000 coins are Greek, the rest Roman and Byzantine.

The collection was given the Uni-versity in 1891 by S. M. Swenson, who bought It in Sweden. Although only six trays remain on museum display at one time, the coins have been catalogued and are arranged according to the country Issuing them,

Enthusiastic members of the Outing Club went on a snow-hike last week and from all reports they really had a wild-goose chase In the snow. This club is a very active club; those who are Interested In the out-of-doors are welcome to come to their outings even If they are not members. The next activity that Is being planned is a skating party at the local skating rink and It la hoped that a sack lunch will be brought by each member In order that the girls may eat while at the rink.

Recreationalists have been busy finishing up their ping-pong tournament, The last to be played was the semi-final tilt by Peterson-Lawson and Ruehlen-Sandy. After the final game Wednesday at their meeting, the Peterson-Lawson team was the winner of this year’s Recreational Double Tournament.

Co-op Wins Intramural Title From Town

A fast-breaking Co-op cage team completely subdued a badly beaten Town team to take first place honors In the first round of Intramural play. It was an inter-league game between the champions of League I and League II.

The win enabled the Co-op team to retain their undefeated record in Intramural play during the season- Next week the tenuis of each league will begin on the second round or play, The final score of Wednesday's game was 31-25.

The Co-op team started fast and from the first few minutes of the game they appeared to be certain winners. At the end of the first quarter they led only 8 to 6. but by half-time they had pulled to a 22 to 12 advantage.

Co-op substituted freely during the entire contest and had they not be-come somewhat disorganized by the frequent Interruptions, the score might have been worse. Bob Frantz scored a total of 18 points to take high scoring honors, and runner-up in scoring was Vetter of Town with 12 points to his credit.

The Town team was held scoreless during the entire third period, and it gave the Co-op's a change to widen their margin. In the last few minutes of the game Town rallied but their efforts were to no avail.

The game marked the end of the first round of the Intramural basketball schedule. To qualify for the championship contest, the Town squad had to defeat Elyria and Dorm III. who were tied with them for leadership In League II.

The Co-op team had little difficulty in winning first place in League I. and mowed down all their opposition in order. Such interest has been shown In the first round of play that a schedule for a second round has been drawn up and play will soon begin.

They say as how the favorite story at Marquette three days concerns the campus romeo who went to a fraternity convention and after three days, wired the local-girl: "Having a swell tine. With you were her." — (ACP)

"Watch those passes!" or “Remem-her your zone!" are only a few of the instructions given to the members of the basketball club. Teams have been organized and actual competi-tion Is being started. The teams are "Reboubders” made up the town girls. College Hill team, Arnold Third Floor. Kline Girls, and a team from the girls at Mickey's. Horner's and Dreshers.

Stiffness has been illustrated to the tumblers of tumbling club by actual examples in their necks and legs Although there are hard knocks and bruises, girls are still looking forward In nutting on a stunt to climax their semester's work.

Rumors are already rampant concerning the formal banquet which the W. A A. puts on in the spring, and girls are even now beginning to worry us to Just which handsome lad to ask to the gala affair.

Bulldogs Drop Cage Game To Wildcats

The Bulldogs met with disaster In the first game of their eastern trip, when they lost a game to the Baker Wildcats by a 54 to 35 score. From the first 12 minutes on the Wildcats look the lead and retained it.

Ready for a hard-luck story? It’s about Lylene Garner, freshman at Eastern New Mexico college, Portales.

On the first day of school this year she fell upstairs at Women's hall and suffered minor bruises. Then she developed a recalcitrant appendix and had to have an operation. Shortly afterward, in what she calls a blue trance, she sat down on a hot radiu-tor, arising therefrom with alacrity and some pain.

Next she was accidentally hit by a playful girl-friend and spurted a black eye. Now Lylene has a broken nose, acquired when she walked into a door that should have been open and wasn't.
