The Student Relations Commis-ion, of which Sara Jane Olwin and Kirk Naylor are the co-chairmen, was treated to help students in their social life on the campus.

Shirley Spohn and Russell Eisen-wise, co-chairmen of the Recreational Leadership Commission, try to inter-est students in hobbies, such as leath-er work. They also plan the parties sponsored by the S. C. M.

Read the bulletin board carefully for news items pertaining to the C. M., was the advice given by Roy Smith and Dale Stucky, publicity O-Chairmen of the S. C. M.

During 1940 and 1941, the general meetings of the Student Christian Movement will strive to present to students the various aspects of stu-dent activities and attitudes in their slightest worth in an effort to help the formulating and developing of keener sense of values.

The utilization of student talent, both individually and through the medium of S. C. M commissions and other school organizations, as well as local, state, and national speakers, will be the source of both practical and inspirational experiences for the student.

Dr. Desmond W. Bittinger, profes-sor of sociology and education at McPherson college, was born in Eg-ion, West Virginia. He attended the local high school and then went to the University of West Virginia. He then attended school at Elizabeth-town, and received his A. B. degree there. Following his schooling, he engaged in pastoral work, taught grade school, and taught later in high

In 1930 Dr. Bittinger went to Af-rica. He spent four years there in charge of the educational work of the Brethren church. There were approximately 350 students in the elementary school and sixty in the normal training schools. He was also in charge of the church work there.

The school that he taught had a football team consisting totally of natives. This team played about seven or eight different schools each year, traveling in motor truck, and oftentimes, building their own roads

as they want. Incidentally, the road building kept the boys in shape for football.

At times, a durance of several hun-dred miles was traveled to these neighboring schools. The English rules were those used for football. The team Dr. Bittinger coached won the championship for their district.

A great interest is taken in ath-letes by both boys and girls. The girls engage in various types of athletic contests, and the boys play other games besides football.

Dr. Bittinder has written three books concerning his work in Africa. The first, "Soudans Second Sunup", was published in 1938, the second, “In The Land of the Monkey Bread Tree", was published in 1939, and the third, "Black and White on the Soudan", will probably be printed about Christmas.

Republicans Have Large Rally

County Attorney Speaks

At Rally Held

Last Tuesday Evening

Seventy-five young Republicans heard County Attorney John Bran-don speak at the first meeting of the collegiate young Republican club last Tuesday evening. The meeting was opened with a novelty number by the girl's trio composed of Gladys Wig-gins, Virginia Kerlin, and Lucille Wade. Appearing in patriotic dress of red, white, and blue, the girls made a hit with the Republican big-wigs.

Brandon spoke on the necessity for government of law rather than gov-ernment of man, emphasizing issues and not discussing personalities

Announcements were made con-cerncing future political activity of the club, and emphasis was made of the fact that every Republican at student is an automatic member of the club and should not wait for a personal invitation to take part in its activi-

The meeting was closed by a patriotic medley by the trio accompanied by Vena Flory.

Only Four Actors Survive Stiff Tryouts

Thespian Club Elects

Unanimously Candidates

Recommended By Judges

Only four applicants survived the rigorous elimination in the tryouts for the Thespian Club held last Tuesday afternoon, it was announced by John Detrick, president of the Thespian Club. The successful actors were one sophomore, Jean Oberst, and three freshmen, JeanMcNichol, Raymond Sli-fer, and Wayne Geisert.

To be admitted to the Thespian Club, each prospect had to memorize a character selection three minutes in length, give it before the judges, and present a card outlining past experience in plays that would recommend the candidate for membership in the local club. Then the judges recommended four candidates to the Thespian Club.

Quadrangle Has Its Sales Campaign Already Well Underway Photographing students for their class pictures in the Quadrangle will be started next Monday, it was announced by Virginia Kerlin, editor of the Quadrangle. Photographer Phillips from the Ralph-Atkis-on Studios of Kansas City, Missouri, will take two poses of each student in the student union room. All students are urged to watch the bulletin card for the definite and defied schedule of taking the pictures.

The Quadrangle began its book sales campaign last Monday, under the direction of S. G. Hoover, circu-ulation manager. Other salesmen of the Quadrangle are Ruth Smith, Lena Belle Olwin, Leta Beckner, Ruth Stump, Ted Washburn, Don David-son, Paul Dannelley, and Ernest

Concerning the sales campaign, Hoover stated. "We wanted to get good start, and we will continue this drive for the next two or three weeks. I would advise students to order their annuals now, because they probably have more money now than they will later on. There will be no rise in price, and the annual will be bigger and better this year."

Geraldine Spohn and Lee Nelson, to-presidents of the Student Christian Movement, presided at last Friday's chapel which was designed to describe the work of this organization. The Student Christian Movement has a program that can reach every stu-dent in college. Co-chairman of the various commissions gave brief out-lines of the work of each commission, The study of many specific prob-lems is taken up by the S. C. M.

Klotz To Head Freshman Class

The members of the freshman class met in the chapel Monday morning to elect their officers for this school year. Dale Stucky, president of the student council, acted as chairman of the meeting. Most of the officers were elected by a close vote.

Alvin Klotz of Fredericksburg, Iowa, was selected to become president of the freshman class. Richard Prentice, of Alva, Oklahoma, was elected to aid him as vice-president-Thornton McDaniels, of Morrill, Kansas, was elected to be class treasurer. The class secretary is Dean Stucky, a brother to Dale Stucky, of Elyria, Kansas

The representatives to the student council are Harriet Pratt, of Kingsley, Iowa, and John Trostle, of Nick-erson, Kansas.

The program will consist of a debate between the president of the Freshman class, Alvin Klotz, and

Next Wednesday evening at 8:00 the Eureka Singers, a mixed negro chorus, will give a concert in the chapel, it was announced yesterday by Lee Nelson, co-president of the Student Christian Movement. The S. C. M. is sponsoring the concert

Four years ago this group of min-strels were in a lyceum number here on the campus. At that time they were well received, and many stu-dents stated that they hoped the singers would return to the campus some day. Last year the S. C. M tried in arrange a concert by them, but they were too much in demand and no suitable time could be found. The Eureka Singers make a nation-wide tour every year.

The admission charge to college and high school students next Wednesday will be twenty-five cents. Family members and adults will pay thirty cents and grade school children will be admitted for fifteen.

A certain professor at Ohio State walked into the classroom 15 minutes late to find the class gone. The next day the students

of his persence. Next day the professor again found an empty classroom. On each desk was a hat.—(ACP).

Men Hold Open House

This evening at 7:30 the men of Fahnestock Hull hold their annual Open House affair. The public is invited to come and visit the rooms and gel a first-hand view of how college boys live.

The event is not one that requires prompt arrival or late staying. Quests are at liberty to come or leave at any time during the course of the evening —7:30 to 9:30.

The boys already have plans afoot to make their rooms as charming as they can in their ineffective mas-culine way. Even though the rooms will remain essentially bachelors' quarters, the public will find them furnished in good, though masculine

any or all the rooms, chat as long as you feel like in any one or all rooms, and to respect the family skeltons in the closets. The boys are convinced that you will have a good time. Refreshments will be served.

Personnel Of Active Group Miss Ida Schockley, McPherson col-lege social director, has chosen Donna Jean Johnson, Venn Flory, Dan Newkirk, and Robert Brust to serve on the student social committee for this year. This committee, under the leadership of Miss Schockley, will ar^-range school entertainments and so-cials for week-end nights. Such events as formal parties, moving pic-ture shows, all-school parties, one-act plays and college sings will be under the supervision of this group.

Although this committee has just been organized, Miss Shockley says, "Already many entertaining events have been planned and the student body should look forward to each of these social gatherings." The first event the committee will supervise will be the college sing, which will be held tomorrow night.

The Brethren Y. P. D. will have a discussion of time and money Sun-day evening at 6:30, as Eugene Lich-ty, Wayne Paris, James Crill, Eliza- beth Mohler, Edith Spengler and Eunice Swank meet together and lead a round-table discussion over the topic, entitled "Stewardship of Time and Money”.

Tomorrow evening at 8:00 o'clock in the student union room, there is to be a "Song Soiree". A "Song Soiree" is taken from an Old French custom in which the people that attend en-gage in group singing and mixer-games. "Soiree" is from the French wore meaning a delightful evening From the meaning itself students can expect to have an enjoyable time.

Lucille Wade, Gladys Wiggins, Pascal Davis, and Dick Burger are in charge of the program and a good program is to be the result. This type of social affair is just getting a start and it is the hopes of the committee that a large number of the student body will be out to make this "Soiree” a success.

College of Emporia, a conference rival of McPherson, has a new presi-dent in Leslie G. Whitcomb, former singer-evangelist. He succeeds Dudley Doolittle, temporary president during the last year.

Until recently Whitcomb was pas-tor of a large church in Topeka, Kansas. Last June 1 he was called by the board of trustees to become per-manenet president of C. of E.

He will be formally inaugurated October 11, when a list of dignitaries will be present. Governor Payne Ratner will represent the state. Mod-erator William Young the church, and the Rev B. V. Kearns, the president of the board of trustees, will represent the college.

Governor Ratner will officiate at the flag-raising ceremonies, which precede the dedication of the Alumni Memorial Altar. The new altar, from which C. of E. has drawn the name, “The Altar College,’' will become a symbol of Christian education and living for the college. President Whitcomb will deliver an inaugural address.

Whitcomb is a member of Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Beta Kappa, honorary scholastic fraternity. His education was obtained at Hanover and W. bush colleges, with religious studying later at McCormick Theolo-gical Seminary. The new president is a Kiwanian and Scottish Rite Ma-

McPherson College Has Best Pep Band It’s Had Years

This year, pep such as was only known to M. C. in the old days, has returned and with a bang! The pep rallies prior to the first football game were the start of all the enthusiasm. The pajama parade was the biggest success for several years, and the pep chapel the same day had a large crowd present.

A large portion of this success is due to the newly organized pep band. Thanks should go to the college for acquiring the services of Pascal Davis, who has taken charge of the band. Davis has had quite a musical career as a corentist, having won numerous state and county contests and taken second prize in a national contest. Prof. Davis has also had considerable experience in band conducting, and profiting by this experience he has picked some good music and has put the band in excellent condition.

College musicians have turned out better this year than last and thus the quality and power of the band has increased and will probably continue to grow as more students join. In the opinion of many the present college band sounds much better than any the college has ever had.

The World At Large

By Robert Nance

The bombing of London, Berlin, French and Belgian coasts continue, and each side makes its claims of damage done to military objectives and its accusations of damage done to civilian residences by the bombs of the other side. But this is nothing new and has no immediate effect on us, only as it adds up to who will last the longest.

It seems to me that the things that most concern us are such incidents as the sinking of the British refugee ship which caused the death of eighty-three children, at which the British press cried, "Murder!" and the shell-ing of the French West African capital of Dakar, at which the German papers called, "Massacre," We must think clearly on those things and remember that both sides are actually at war and that such incidents are only a part of the war.

Another incident of national importance is the fight between Japan and France over French Indo-China. Evidently there has been some nego-

Last Friday afternoon the Interna-tional Relations Club viewed two reels of motion picture film that were taken in Africa by Dr. Desmond Bit-tinger. The films were shown and were accompanied by interesting explanations from Dr. Bittinger.

The first meeting of the I. R. C. was well attended, being estimated at between sixty and sevent. Tom Doeppner, president of the club, presided at the meeting and introduced Dr. Francis F. Wayland, sponsor of the club.

Dr. Wayland told of the structure of the club, its functioning in the past year, and its purposes. He told a little about the conference at Winfield last year and mentioned that the conference is to be held at War-rensburg, Missouri, this year.

Choral Club Began Season Last Monday

Club Will Correlate With

A Cappela In Double Quartette

Only seven of the sixty members failed to come to the first chora' club practice Monday evening, it was reported. The choral club under the direction of Miss Gulah Hoover, rehearsed only a little in its first meeting.

Miss Hoover announced the possible program for the coming year. The choral club began working on two numbers which will be a part of the concert to be given in the church next spring.

A new move to correlate the chora' club with the A Cappella choir will be installed this year in the form of double quartets selected from the two groups to give programs through-out the year. Also the choral club will assist in the Oratorio that is given each spring in the community building.

A committee was selected to nominate officers of the club for the coming year. Those selected were Dick Burger, chairman, Russell Eisenbise-Mar Brunton, Burnetta Denny, and Wilbur Bullinger.

Off-Campus Off-Beat

Now that the despairing day is over this can be told. Dean Stucky, freshman, spent one long day close to his teachers for fear an upper classman would catch him alone. The reason was he forgot his cap and—well, you, know these upper classmen!

After classes are over one can usually find Chester Nordling at the golf course practicing up on his strokes. Of course, "Chet" says this is done only after his assignments are finished.

Wouldn't you like to have Mildred Fries' cute, white mocassins: skins as plentiful as Virginia Kerlin’s Lenora Shoemaker's dark hair; bands as dainty as Doris Voshell's? Or maybe, if you are a boy, you'd rather have hair as wavy as La Rde Owen. Gene Wilber's pearly white teeth, or a physique like Eddie Leonard's.

Robert Arnold. "Lefty" to most students, a Macampus gridster, has been seen wearing two class rings.

He didn't graduate twice did he? Maybe “Lefty" is keeping something secret. Could be!

The freshman who ranked highest in the English placement test this year was Wayne Gelsert, who lives at Elmo, Kansas. Geisert is a friendly, scholarly chap who takes most things

He attended high school at Chapman, Kansas, and participated in debate, dramatics, and journalism while there. He ranked on the high honor roll at Chapman high school. To do that he had to average over 93 in all his grades made during high school.

Thornton McDaniels, that tall, blushing blood from Morrill, ought to make the freshman class an efficient treasurer, since he has had experience. In his senior year in high school he was treasurer of the student council and also president of his senior class.

Although basketball was his long suit in athletics, having lettered three years and acted as captain for two years in high school, he was also a star at high jumping on the track team and first-baseman on the baseball team. He has another ability but this one has been discovered by very few on the campus—he played

Two Conference Teams Win; Four Lose

Scribe Says Ottawa's Reign As Conference Chump May End

Last Friday night marked the beginning of the football season for the Kansas Conference with six of

ence games. "Baker was the only team that remained idle. With one game behind them McPherson still remains the darkhorse of the conference. Although they

showed much promise The play of the line and the plunging of Vetter was especially noteworthy. The big question in the mind of all Bulldog fans is whether Glen “Flipper" Funk will be in there pitching strikes this fall and whether Bobby Brust's knee will allow him to be at his best. Although in the lineup but a few minutes against Southwestern. Funk showed clearly that he is one of the best passers if not the best in the conference. Brust reeled off several good gains while he was in the game.

Hebron Junior college invaded Newton to play the Bethel Graymar-oons and took a 14 to 0 licking. However this is no great achievement for

a team out of their class. Bethel showed defensive strength, however, by holding Hebron to 40 yards from rushing.

Sterling invaded Kansas Wesleyan and was on the short end of a 14 to 0 score. In beating Sterling, Wesley-an gave notice that it is one of the teams to beat in the Kansas Confer-ence this year. They showed a very strong offense by gainging 294 yards

loss by giving up two touchdowns in the last period to a strong Chadron team. The score was 14 to 0. Al-though Chadron had a veteran team, this game may be an indication that Ottawa's three-year reign as conference champs may come to an end this year.

At Topeka the Washburn lehu-bods overwhelmed College of Emporia 24 to 0. The score might have been even larger but the lehabods

fumbled twice within C. of E's end-yard line.

Bethany journeyed to Kearney, Neb., to play the Kearney Bute Teachers, and received a 25 to 0 shel lacking. This game would seem to indicate that Bethany will have to improve greatly if it experts to win many conference games this year, although not much can be learned from just one game.

At the end of the first week of the season there is not much change from the preseason rating of the teams. It still appears that Kansas Wesleyan

beat. But none of the other teams have conceded anything yet and any one of them can cause a lot of trouble,

McPherson faces her second Central Conference opponent in succession when she meets the strong Fort Hays State Tigers at Hays tomorrow night. Still smarting from a 7-0 defeat handed them by the Southwestern Mound builders last week, the Bulldogs will seek to even the account with South-western's conference sister.

Coach Hayden in expected to make several changes in the starling lineup for tomorrow's game. There will probably be a toss-up for the left end position between Junior French and Rollin Wanamaker while the other end will probably be Dick Callen.

will strengthen the tackle position," and starters for tackle will probably be chosen among him, Merlin “Slug" Myers, and Russell Reinecker.

Raymond "Dutch" Goering, a guard who starred in last weeks game, and Bob Cook will probably begin

backfield, with several injuries necessitating rearrangement. There has been some talk of shifting Gene Wilber, freshman from Ioaw, into the backfield. Milo Unruh, another freshman who showed up well in the first football game of his career, will also be depended on for backfield duty in the near future. Bob Brust and Glen Funk will probably be on the sidelines with injuries received last Friday night. Calvin Jones, Jack Vetter, Sylvan Hoover, and Irvin Keck, all of whom saw a lot of action in the backfield will be available. However, Coach Hayden will probably not announce definitely until game time who his starters will be.

A game captain is chosen preceding each game of the season for duty during the game, and tomorrow night Irvin Keck will captain the Bulldogs in their contest with the Tigers.

Tonight will find the opening guns sounding in the Kansan Conference as Bethel plays Ottawa at Newton. Tomorrow night College of Emporia plays Bethany at Lindsborg.

The game at Lindsborg should be the feature game of the two. Both teams were beaten decisively in their opening games last week, and neither team has been picked to be a serious contender far the championship. A decisive victory for either team might alter this opinion. From statistics on last week's game it would appear that Bethany should have the beat chance of annexing this game.

At Newton Bethel faces the tough task of trying to whip the Ottawa Braves, who didn't give a whoop about third-term tradition as they annexed the conference championship for the third consecutive time last year. Ottawa should be able to win this game even though they opened the season with a loss, and Bethel opened with a win. If Bethel should upset the dope and win this game, it might mean the end of Ottawa's football supremacy.

McPherson journeys to Hays to meet Fort Hays State Teachers. This will be McPherson's second Central Conference foe, Southwestern having

Although outgaining her opponents considerably in yards rushing, the Bulldogs lost their season's opener before a large crowd of local fans.

Winfield eked out a 7-0 victory over the Bulldogs by virtue of a touchdown pass tossed to Swafford, Bullder fullback. The play was good for a total gain of 45 yards.

Not at any other time during the game did the Southwestern team seriously threaten to score. Each time the ball was brought into the Bulldog territory, their defense tight-ened and held. Twice during the game McPherson was within 13 yards of a touchdown only to lose the ball on
