Democracies Die Only From Within

Invaders Only Act As Undertakers, Stated Prof. Mohler In Chapel

"Democracy is in a struggle for existence,” Prof. R. E. Mohler, head of the biology department of McPherson college, stated last Monday in his chapel address. Prof. Mohler voiced the opinions of a committee of ten recently appointed by Governor Rainer, which discussed "Education and the National Defense."

National defense was defined as "everything tending to keep America a great nation.'' There are three phases of the national defense relating to the schools. One phase is the military, and some schools are suddenly attempting to make people armament producers and lead them into blind-alley jobs, said Prof. Mohler. But schools can not be expected to aid materially in making a mill-

contributions will be in the other two phases, it was stated.

The schools have the task of educating the people so that they can be economically free—not to make fortunes, but to be independent. The people should be satisfied and that by letting them know the truth economically, it was pointed out.

The third phase in the discussion of the schools and the national defense is consumer education. Consumer education is designed to show people how to handle the great problems of financing and thus to make satisfied people. The spiritual con-tributions of democracy are s0 great that a person need not seperate the intellectual from the emotional in the appreciation of democracy, Mohler stated.

If there is any group that should not be disturbed by propaganda, it

declared to the chapel audience. In showing what the schools can do Prof. Mohler said that they could rethink democracy; extend the pro-

and in adult communities by forums,

discussions, and other methods: teach loyalty to democracy; and promote the cultural and spiritual val-

"Democracies die not from without but from within" said Prof. R. E. Mohler, ‘‘and the invaders in all in-stances just act as the undertakers."

Dr. J. W. Boitnott, genial dean of McPherson college, delivered a time-ly and worthwhile speech in chapel last Friday 0n the purpose of a college education.

The purposes that he stressed were “to extend the democratic process until it leavens and controls every relation of man to man and to inspire within the personality of every youth the develop of intellectual, social, and moral qualities of character that make the diffusion of democracy possible."

Other purposes are “to engender the scientific method or to exercise the intelligence, and to cultivate the artist's genius or the esthetic sense. These require both our intellect and

“Another purpose of college is to develop a sort of personal religion or meaningful world view, in other words, a sense of values.

The personnel of the McPherson college A Cappella Choir was released yesterday by its director, Prof. Nevin W. Fisher, after about a week in which tryouts were held. The choir this year is to be composed of sixteen ladies and fourteen men. The five first soporanos are Marie Brailller, Barbara Holderread, Marjorie Martin, Betty Schwalm, and Shirley Spohn. The second sopranos are Maurine Blair, Virginia Kerlin, Lucille Wade, and Mamie Wolfe, Ramona Fries, Elizabeth Mohler, Esther Sberfy, and Gladys Wiggins are first altos and Lucy Blough, Melba Morrison and Ruth Smith are second

The a cappella choir usually sings without accompaniment and gives a formal concert annually in the spring. The rehearsals of the a cappella choir are to be twice a week. Monday and Thursday afternoons from 4:00 to 5:30.

Last year the college had one big choir, but this year the change was made to the former style of having a small choir and a larger, less select group designated as the Choral Club. The older style seems to fit the needs of McPherson college better.

Republicans Meet Next Tuesday

The Young Republicans of McPher-son college will meet in the college chapel Tuesday at 6:30, announced Don Newkirk, president of the local club. All students interested in Republican politics are expected to attend. The program will consist of novelty musical numbers and a short talk by a representative of the McPherson G. O. P.

An executive committee of twelve upperclassmen met yesterday to draw up plans for the year. The membership of the club will be enlarged and several activities of local interest are planned. The local club is now in close contact with fifth district officers as well as the county organiza-tion and the state collegiate organiza-tion. Members of the McPherson College Young Republican Club will be used on programs in this territory

Much evidence of activity is pre-valent in the world today but much of this activity can be compared to that of a woman sewing at her machine with no thread in the needle. A definite life purpose—a definite, worthwhile goal—is often overshadowed by many nonessentials which distract our attention to the lessor trails.

Spiritual ideals should be cultured by the youth of today for these are the foundation of democracy which can only be maintained by the manifestation of a purposeful daily life.

Maurine Gish from Belleville High School, Lois Kreitzer, a graduate from Sabetha, and Jean McNicol of Lost Springs were next with scores of 127.

The annual Student Christian Movement membership drive began this morning following a chapel program which was designed to describe the work of the S. C. M. it has been announced by Geraldine Spohn and Lee Nelson, co-presidents of the student organization.

Incorporating the work of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. in one organization, the S.C.M. is an organization of both men and women. Any student on the campus may become a member of the local movement. It was explained by the copresidents.

National Y. M. C A, and Y. W. C. A. dues are one dollar per year, and any student who contributes one dollar becomes an active member of the national college Y. M. and Y. W.

Students may become members of the local S. C. M. group by contributing any amount. Small mem-bership contributions less than a dollar will be welcomed by the organization, and will entitle the doner to a membership card to the local S. C. M.

Members of the S. C. M. cabinet act as solicitors in the campaign. An attempt will be made to give every

ed yesterday in an interview that all students are welcome to attend the commission session and the general meetings of the Christian Movement. The meetings are open to the general public and are not limited to members only.

Co-President Spohn, in explaining the work of the S. C. M. stated that it is through this organization that a Student Refugee Committee is now functioning on Macampus, which helps support a refugee student from the war-stricken areas. In addition to this work, the S. C. M. will obtain a number of prominent speakers for students to hear. Among them will probably be Martin Harvey, negro lecturer who appeared here last year, and Muriel Lester, famous social

The Student Volunteer Commis-sion of the S. C. M. will sponsor the National Student Volunteer Confer-ence to be held here the first weekend in November. Attending the meeting will be students from states as far away as Pennsylvania. Last year the conference was held at Elizabethtown college. Elizabethtown, Pa, and the year before it was at Manchester college, North Manchester, Indiana.

The first meeting of the Forensic Club for the present school year was held last Wednesday evening at 6:45.

There was s large number present with many new members, along with the sponsor of the Forensic Club and of other forensic activities on the campus, Prof Maurice A. Hess. Also present was the new debate coach of McPherson college, Dr. Desmond W. Bittinger, who has succeeded Prof. J. A. Blair in that capacity.

"Here, freshy, come, shine my shoes,” or “Hey, greenie, carry these books.” All of us freshmen have been hearing something like this ever since enrollment and we have actually been having fun out of it. This is not, however, an invitation for anything else to do!

I don’t think any of us will forget the day we enrolled. As we neared the administration building all of us were uncertain as to what we were going to do, or how we should do it. But when we entered we were not met by a battery of stares, as we had thought, but by the helpful, smiling faces of our upper classmen. This made us forget we were ever nervous and soon we were in the midst of activity, proud that we were part of the student body.

Teachers, too, have been very helpful as well as patient with us, especially when we missed English class the first day, forgot where psychology met, or talked out loud in the library.

All of us have been greatly impressed with everything about college life. The things that made the greatest impression physically, of course, were the belt and slipper lines.

Each day brings out something new and exciting and gradually we are getting acquainted with college routine. And now that we are actually here in college, we find it is even more than we had anticipated.

Frosh, Sophs To Have Tug Of War

Between the halves of the football game this evening, the fresh-man and sophomore classes will tangle in a tug of war. The tug of war was planned and managed by Ted Washburn, energetic cheer-leader.

Dale Stucky, student council pre-sident, will act as mediator, umpire, referee, and any other official neces-sary to the occasion. Russell Eisen-

more forces, and Roy McAuler, bos-om chum of Eisenbise, will organ-ize the freshmen on spite of the fact that he has advanced to the class of sophomore.

The tug of war is not intended to further class war, but it will pro-bably affect class prestige greatly. The tug of war is also beneficial in that it provides more wholesome entertainment than the beltlines formerly scheduled between halves of home football games.

Bulldogs Open Season Against Builders Tonite

Southwestern Is Out

To Avenge Defeats

Of Last Two Years

The football seasons of the McPherson Bulldogs will have its official opening tonight when the growling Canines take the Field here against the Southwestern Moundbuilders of Winfield. After two weeks of intense practice under the supervision of the new mentor, Coach Thomas Hayden, the Bulldogs will be in excellent condition for their first appearance of the year.

The squad will trot out on the gridiron dressed up for the occasion, as Coach Hayden checked out entirely new uniforms to them Wednesday. The starting line-up will be comprised almost entirely of men having

squad. A large group of promising freshmen, plus the lettermen of pre-vious years, makes the outlook for the coming season promising.

The Builders will be seeking revenge tonight for two consecutive defeats during the last two seasons. Previous to that the two teams had not met in many years. In 1938 the Bulldogs romped on their non-league opponents to the tune of 33 to 14. Last year the Builder's again bowed to the Bull dogs after leading 7-6 with only a minute to go. The Canines won at the last minute 12-7, by virtue of a recovered blocked kick.

This year the two teams seem to be evenly matched, although the Southwestern teams lacks experience. Tonight Coach Hayden will probably start Rollin Wanamaker and Dick Callen at the end positions. Wana-maker is a three-year letterman at McPherson and Callen makes his appearance with the Bulldogs after one year's absence.

Russell Reinecker and Merlin "Slug" Myers are expected to get the nod at tackle, while Raymond ‘Dutch' Goering and Bob Cook will probab-ly be the starting guards. Goering is a veteran on the Bulldog line-up and is expected to show up well this

Raymond “Squeak" Meyer is the starter at the renter position. "Squeak" was an all-conference center his freshman year and has earned two letters here. The back-field will probably be made up of Robert Brust at the signal position, Jack Vetter and Irvin Keck at halfback, and Calvin Jones at the fullback position. All four are letter-men or previous years, with Keck being the only senior. Sylvan Hoover will probably also see action before the game is over. The line-ups for the game tonight are as follows

Tough Schedule Faces 1940 Mac Gridsters

Are Six Conference Games, Three Games In Central Conference

McPherson college has a tough football schedule this year. Her only non-conference games are with schools in the Central Conference, a stronger conference than the Kansas

conference. She plays a home game this evening with the Southwestern college Builders, then goes to Hays next weekend to play the Hays Teachers on Saturday.

She starts her conference season against Ottawa, which has one of the best teams in the conference, winning the championship the last two years. Dick Godlove, Ottawa coach, concedes the conference title to Baker, but Mc-Pherson fans can make their own de-cision after the home game with Ot-

tawa Oct. 4.

The next Friday the Bulldogs go to Baldwin to play Baker. Last year Baker beat McPherson 28 to 21 in a

Bethel Invades McPherson Oct. 18. For the last two years Bethel has defeated McPherson, the first time 19 to 16 with a strong last half, and

The Bulldogs go to Lindsborf Oct. 25 to play their annual ‘'grudge" game with the Bethany '"Swedes." Last year the game ended in a 0-0 tie. Then the Macollege squad goes to Emporia Nov. 1 to play College of Emporia, whom they also tied 0-0 last year.

On Nov. 9 McPherson plays its last non-conference game with the Pittsburg Teachers at Pittsburg, Kansas. On Nov. 15 McPherson climaxes its 1940 football season with its annual Kansas Wesleyan game. For the last eight years, Kansas Wes-leyan has been unable to defeat McPherson, although it is usually conceded a higher standing in the conference than the Bulldogs. Long live the jinx!

Monday in Gymnasium

Bethel Has “Breather”; Baker Is Idle; All Games Non-Conference

Tonight six Kansas Conference schools will open their football season with non-conference games. Mc-Pherson takes on Southwestern in a home game that should be a thriller.

Kansas Wesleyan engages in combat Sterling college on the Salina field. College of Emporia plays Washburn college at Topeka.

Hebron college, Hebron, Nebraska, invades Newton tonight to play the Bethel college Gray maroons, archrival a of the Bulldogs. Chadron Teachers, Chadron, Nebraska, goes to Ottawa to play the Braves, football champions of the Kansas Conference for the last two years. Only Baker university of the Kansas Conference is idle this evening.

Of the games tonight, Bethel is probably the only Kansas Conference school which should have a 'breath-er,” since Hebron college is a junior college.
