Dr. Blackwell Speaks Of Keys

In his final address before the Regional Conference audience, Dr. Oscar Blackwelder spoke on the subject “How Jesus Gives Himself

to Men.” He expressed his appreciation for the friendly spirit and the interest that he found hero at the conference.

In his delivery, Dr. Blackwelder pointed out that most great philosophies  of the world can he summarized in one word. For instance, the Greek philosophy was knowledge; the Roman philosophy was discipline; but the Christian philosophy is giving. The text John 3:16 is a good illustration of the Christian idea.

There are four keys to understanding Christ’s philosophy. The first is: He feeds, feeding the spirit as well as the body. Christ guides, giving a sense of His providence, and guidance. He heals. He heals the aching heart, changes remorse into wisdom, and turns the feeling of defeat into penitence. Christ is the only way to lay hold of the healing influence of the universe.

But the fourth key to understanding Christ is perhaps the most important. It is simply that He saves.

Debate Held In Chapel Friday

Compulsory Military Training Is Subject

The Regional Conference closed on Friday with a debate during the chapel hour. The debaters were McPherson High School students. They debated on the compulsory military conscription for one year question. This question has been used for the High School CKL debates in Kansas this year with the high school winning the most debates in this league. Bonnie Martin and Diane Johnson debated on the affirmative. The negative was upheld by Engel Nininger and Scott Jones.

The affirmative pointed out a need for a change, and that time is a factor in the preparedness of a nation. The negative said that warfare would be outmoded in such a short time that this preparedness would be of no avail. Also, stated the negative, that this is undemocratic and will not help to maintain world peace.

Hylton Harmon then led in a discussion, pertaining to ways in which we, as a conference, or as individuals, could make known our views concerning the matter of compulsory military training.

We are most grateful for the many expressions of sympathy received from students and faculty members .

Dr. L. Avery Fleming and Family.

We Salute E. M. Studebaker

Dr. Ellis M. Studebaker graduated from McPherson College with the class of 1915. Prior to graduating from McPherson College Dr. Studebaker had spent a number of years in special Bible study at Bethany Biblical Seminary, Chicago. In 19 21 Dr. Studebaker was graduated from the University of Chicago and granted the degree Master of Arts. In 1927

McPherson College honored him with the degree D. D.

For ten years Dr. Studebaker was instructor of Bible in McPherson College. From 1923 to 1938 he was President of LaVerne College, LaVerne, California. He is at the present time Business Manager of Bethany Hospital, 3420 W, Van Buren Street, Chicago.

LaVerne College prospered under the administration of Dr. Studebaker. His work at Bethany Hospital has been outstanding. During the past five years the hospital has recovered from a burdensome debt, and is at the present time completing the fourth floor of their building which had remained unfinished for many years.

Dr. Studebaker was married to Lottie Rothrock and together they established a beautiful home. This home was broken by the death of Mrs. Studebaker slightly more than one year ago. The Stude-bakers have four children, three daughters and one son. Their son Dr. Lloyd Studebaker is a medical missionary in Africa.

be no time for stuff like that there in the evening. And, you know that is so right! You’re absolutely busy talking or catching up on sleep during the couple of hungry hours before supper. And after supper you don’t want to be antisocial, so you gather in groups and further strain the vocal chords.

This lasts until it is time for study hours, which means that you will either go to some extracurricular activity or go annoy the librarian at the library. Text books are usually carried along to create a certain atmosphere, but very little of the printed word causes extra wrinkles on the gray matter during the evening.

The evening has been a tiring one thought, and the arrival back at the dorm is a sleepy one. The lessons still aren’t done, but you hate to keep your room-mate awake by leaving the light on, so you make only a half-hearted attempt at cogitating, and burn very little midnight electricity before succumbing to the general drowsy atmosphere created by shadowy corners and a gently snoring roommate. You fumble your uncertain way into pajamas and click out the lights. Your roommate rolls over with a sigh of relief as the bed creaks under your weary weight. Another day is over and tomorrow will be just like yesterday—only maybe a little different. Maybe tomorrow you will find time to study. Only maybe.

Men's Varsity Debates At C. of E.

Regional Conference Deemed Successful

Over 250 interested persons attended the Regional Conference for the Westren District held here on McPherson College campus February 18 to 21. The conference, primarily for ministers and church workers, was of interest to all who heard the programs.

To begin the conference. Monday’s meetings held addresses by Reverend M. R. Zigler, Reverend H. L. Hartsough, and Reverend Brubaker. The day’s activities ended with a Fellowship Hour in the SUR in the evening.

The addresses Tuesday were by Leland Brubaker. H. L. Hartsough and Reverend Harvey R. Hostettler. The final program ended early to allow the conference guests to attend the McPherson vs. Baker basketball game at

Miss Lehman Reads Plays To SCA Group

“People Are Funny.” No, that was not the title of the reading nor the theme of the program in SCA last evening. But the play which Miss Della Lehman read, entitled “The Exchange.” showed beyond any doubt that people are actually funny, or should I say queer. We mortals have the idea that we are pretty strong and possess great attributes of character, but if only the truth were known we might change our minds, the play, which was so well read, pointed out our weaknesses in a very realistic light. We are always ready to do great things, and ready to sacrifice to any extent to make possible the realization of an ideal. Yes, that is all good and as it should he, but, when we are actually called upon to make the sacrifice and to do the work it is a different story. Yet, is it so different? It is a common weakness of humans and not foreign to any of us. We are not willing to give up our pet whims and ideas unless we can see some immediate benefit to ourselves. The play had a humorous strain, vet it seriously portrayed these ideas.

Miss Mary Vancil was in charge of devotions for the evening and planned them around the theme of the fundamental values of life.

Stunt Night Announced

One of the biggest and best of the many events of the college year is rapidly approaching. The annual stunt night will be held a week from today. March 8, on the Chapel stage promptly at 8:00 p. m. There is not too much time left in which to prepare for this program, hut the many amateur actors on the campus should find it time enough to work up a good stunt or skit.

Most of the organizations on the campus are eligible to present stunts and the dorms are invited to compete as well. The prizes will be five dollars for first prize, three dollars for second prize and one dollar for third prize. The stunts will be judged on organization. 25 per cent: student appeal. 25 per cent; originality, 20 per cent; and presentation. 30 per cent. Each stunt will be limited to eight minutes of time. All who plan to present stunts must register with Prof. Dell before Wednesday. March 6.

Whether you are to he in a stunt or in the audience, plan to come to this program which promises to be the most enjoyable evening you have spent in a long time.

Wanted!

300 Dollars!!

Wanted! 300 DOLLARS!! Yes that is what the title of this article says. And. dear student readers, this article is looking right at you. Next week the yearly WSSF Drive is to start on our campus . . . and the quota given our college by the Regional Office is 300 dollars this year. It is the highest goal we have ever had, and it will take some thoughtful and sincere giving on the part of the students and faculty of McPherson College if we are going to meet our goal. Perhaps there are some new students who don’t know what WSSF means, and for their benefit here comes a brief description as to what this is all about.

At the beginning of the war there was no such thing as WSSF. It was not until colleges were bombed out, books burned, and students placed behind barbed wire, that WSSF came into being. Students from more fortunate countries decided that a definite effort should be made on the part of themselves to help their suffering, less fortunate fellow students across the seas . . . and thus the World Student Service Fund was born. This international youth organization has continued to grow in spite of barriers of race, language, and different creeds, as youth all over the world have joined together for the cause of freedom and the right of an education.

Here in the United States WSSF operates on a huge scale. Fully half of the world quota of WSSF this year is to come from the United States alone ... so you can see the faith the rest of world has in our land of plenty and the young people who live here. Our part in the drive operates under the Rocky Mountain Regional office of WSSF. Each year they give out estimates to the various districts as to the amount of money they think the colleges and universities can raise. Kansas is a district by itself, and it has one thousand, eight hundred dollars to raise this year. Out of that total. McPherson College has 300 dollars to raise and send in. Prepare to do your part.

I need not tell you of the great need in China. Greece, Belgium, France. Holland. Norway, Sweden and Germany . . . and any number of other countries which could be added to the list. The war is now over, but until the bombed out schools are rebuilt. . . until textbooks are again to be had . . . until the ravages of disease, malnutrition, and concentration camps are eliminated, the job of WSSF is incomplete. And until that time comes when the world is once more equalized, McPherson College has her part to play in this great fight for the betterment of youth and humanity.

Doris Coppock and Susan Ikon-berry are co-chairmen of the WSSF Drive here at MacCollege. They have a week’s program planned. which will put pep and zip into the drive. Starting with the Chapel program on Monday morning. the drive will end on Friday night. Like all previous years it is hoped that the students and faculty will take up the challenge, and meet and go beyond the goal . . . carrying on in the traditional style of the past years. Keep a watch on the bulletin boards for further notices. And prepare to dig deep, and do your part.

Campus

Interviews

By Chuck

Dear Readers;

It has been a full week since I have written to you. Since my last writing, and even before, debates have been in process across the State of Kansas as to whether there should be a repeal of the Kansas Dry Law. In form these debates are both verbal and written. Nevertheless they are all regarding a very important subject. Becoming anxious as to whether the students of our fair campus would consider ail sides of the problem, I decided that it would be necessary to probe into the problem. Perhaps, upon this subject you too will find it of interest to search more deeply. Upon further research the students which I interviewed might change their minds either for continued prohibition or against it.

Mary Beth Loshbaugh answered the question, “huh-uh,” meaning “no.” They’d sell more liquor if they repealed it.”

A man from a wet state, the state of Missouri, John Williford, explained, “Better keep the law. That way the little kids don’t see so much of it.” (it—refers to whisky).

A diplomat, and former resident of Washington, Kansas, replied to the query. “I’m a silent man on such matters.”

“Yes, Sir. keep Kansas dry. less drunks.” was the answer of the gentleman from Inman, Marvin Heidebrecht.

Paul Gerlach, a resident of the wet state of Iowa, says, “You go up town, and there is more drunks in Kansas than you would find up town in Iowa. I think that they ought to repeal the law.”

“No, I’m “agin” it. It would leave us wide open for big business in the liquor industry if we should repeal the dry law,” thus came the answer of Don Scofield.

A future college professor, Max Morse claims, “If they are not going to enforce it any better than they have, they better repeal it.” A native of Iowa, “Buck” Buckingham, said, “The argument that more people get drunk when a state is dry is a lot of hooey.”

"Yes, I think they should repeal it for there would be less drunkenness.” said Nordling.

“No, I don't think repealing the liquor law will make drunkenness any less; in fact l think it would he more,” retorted Betty Kimmel, the keeper of Arnold Hall.

We can’t find the time nor space to interview others, but perhaps this will interest you enough to inspire you to look farther into the problem. The question is not whether liquor helps the physical body, for we know it doesn't; hut the question is whether the people who are getting drunk illegally might obtain a law whereby they could get drunk legally. Of course, as this question would apply to the particular state of Kansas the discussion would hinge, as you see it did in most of the interviews, around the question as to whether there would be more or less drunkenness.

Well, I shall sign off. with a closing promise, not to have such a boring question in next week’s paper.

Sincerely,

Chuck.

Reviews

and

Previews

By Joyce ’Twas just a year ago that—

—Pat Kennedy snared top honors in the anti-tobacco contest with her oration, “Lifting the Smoke Screen.” Chuck Du-mond’s “Chains ’ was runner-up, and “Humanity’s Best:    anti-to

bacco” by Freda “Twitter” Aurell, won third place.

—Students donned formal attire and descended to the dining hall for another formal dinner. Freshmen, having seen them once before, were no longer startled (to say the least) when the Seik-trained waitresses served the meal “choo-choo” style.

—The SCA commissions were functioning on an even keel. The Student Volunteers were learning the importance of their group. The Worship Commission was learning how to plan an effective worship program, and the Propaganda Commission and Dr. Fleming were discussing how to recognize propaganda.

The Swinger-Creig duo was really beginning to get in gear, and in the library, at games, on the front steps of Sharp, yes, just about everywhere, this lad and lassie were to be seen.

McPherson contributed to the worthy Red Cross Drive the substantial sum of $100. Professor J. L. Bowman was in charge of Macollege’s part in the drive.

-Gertie Conner Wilkins and Dave Albright presented their joint recital in the college chapel. It was a delightful affair from beginning to end, and fans of the talented pianist with the newly acquired title of “Mrs.” were appropriately amused. when, at the end of a particularly difficult passage, she heaved a typical “Gertie” sigh; and smiled.

It’s Iowa Again!

Like another state which we could name but won’t, the Iowa students stick together. And like another state which we won’t mention but could if we wanted to, we lowans had a party. The event took place about 9 o’clock Wednesday evening, February 20, in the SUR. Mr. Ickes, the field man for middle Iowa called all us middle lowans together for the purpose of eating some food he happened to have on hand, but what with one thing or another, so few middle Iowans showed up that we extended the invitation to anyone from Iowa. And, to show there’s nothing mean about us, the party included an Idahoan and one of those you-gotta-show-me girls as well.

Due to the exceeding warmth of the ice in these parts (Iowa ice is no doubt colder) we had to drink most of the ice cream sticks, but the chocolates, cookies, etc were nice to drink it with. The water came around in a pitcher minus glass, and a wet time was had by all who tried to drink their water straight. The party broke up about 10:30 when the guests turned their backs upon the cookie crumbs and puddles of ice cream and mis-managed water to make it into the dorm before their late leaves were up.

mance. What with the two turning up in dark, secluded rooms, entering locked buildings by way of windows, and then there was Saturday night! Oh, well it was Jerry's last week of college life.

Who saw (but then, who didn’t?) that smooth cream-colored convertible sailing around town this past weekend? Just some friends and relatives of Becky Bechtold, plus Bill Mease, who seemed to get in on the party most of the time.

We see that Rothrock still seems to be experimenting.

Also, Moyer seems to be about to go West again.

Likewise it is to be noted that a surprising amount of people on this campus have Mike-fright.

And you who didn't go to Lindsborg missed more than a good game. The bleachers were simply cluttered up with new couples. There’s Russel Peterson and Dorothy Grove, for instance. She seems to be going with him since that sailor left. And Dixie Ward and Rich Spence. Ruth Engelland accompanied one, Gaylord Cough-enour. to the game. That was interesting too.

Have you noticed that “Love, Oh Love, Oh Careless Love” seems to he replacing "Chickery Chick” on this campus?

And to think that we thought that Metzger’s boy friend’s name was Francis all the time only to discover that it was Thurston that she has been waiting on to arrive from Idaho.

Canine Squad Stops Swedes

Bulldogs Lead at Half And Go on to Win 49-46

The McPherson College Bulldogs clinched a tie for first place in the Kansas Conference Saturday night by edging out the Bethany swedes 4 9-4 6 while C. of E. was

handing Ottawa their third conference loss.

It was a rough and tumble battle all the way with neither team having a distinct advantage.

Bethany started at the tipoff and before anybody knew what was happening they had 4 points, Finally, after 4 minutes had passed, Fisher started the scoring tor Mac with a charity toss and Krehbiel followed with a field goal. However, while all this was

being done Bethany collected 4 more and at the end of 5 minutes of play the Swedes held an 8-3 lead. Then Mac started to roll. Three quick field goals gave the Bulldogs the lead. This, however, was promptly tied with a Bethany-free throw. At this point McPherson started to pull away and, with eight minutes to play in the first half, held a 22-16 advantage.

Bethany then began a climb that brought them within one point of a tie. 24-23, and as the half

ended the score stood 26-24 in I favor of the red and white.

The second half was practically a duplicate of the first half. Bethany again started the scoring to tie it up. Captain Paul Markham then put in a long shot to let us I regain our two point lead but the blue and yellow immediately tied it up and went into a 5 point lead. It began to look bad but the Hay-denmen made up the deficit with a free throw and 2 quick buckets. Bethany then collected a free throw but Barr came back with a two-pointer from under the basket to give us a 35-3 4 lead which was never relinquished. McPherson held a 10 point lead, 48-38, with 5 minutes to go. Then Bethany started to click and with a minute left the score stood 48-36. Don Smith, who came in when Fisher fouled out, collected a free throw to make it 49-46 and that’s how the score stood when the game ended.

Scoring honors of the evening went to Carlson of Bethany who got 12. The Mac scoring was evenly divided with Fisher and Krehbiel tying for the laurels with 9 each.

More than 100,0.00,000 pocket editions of current books were shipped to American soldiers and sailors overseas during World War II according to Major James M. Horan, coordinator of War Department Libraries.

At the time I’m at Ft. Lawton, Washington, on the outskirts of Seattle. This is an overseas embarkation station. We’ve been here since Monday morning when we arrived by troop train from Ft. Ord, California. Ft. Lawton is O. K.; we haven’t had to do anything here since we arrived. You get up when you want to, etc. We’re allowed a pass every other evening, til one o’ clock in the morning. Seattle’s a swell place to go on pass—if you have the “dough”.

The land around here is very hilly. The camp itself and town are built on hills. You probably saw in the paper about the earthquake. I was seeing a U. S. O. show in the camp theatre Thursday evening around 7:00 p. m. when the theater started swaying. it was like moving in three directions at the same time.

The above is a portion taken from a letter received from Roger Frazer. Roger was a freshman the first semester of last year but the draft interfered, and now he is in the army.

Excerpt of a letter from Sabura Uyeji, first semester student:

How have things been coming along in Mac College? I miss the warm friendly atmosphere of the campus out here. The city is so large, dirty, and busy, you hardly have an opportunity to get acquainted with anyone. I do sincerely miss school. I have been offered an excellent opportunity to attend one of the newer colleges in town starting this month but I am declining. I do not think that I am quite ready for college yet.

The folks and my sister will be leaving for home soon. I am very anxious to join the family. I yearn to be home again after four years of nomadic living. If things can be worked out, I’ll be on my way home before June. It’ll be good to set foot in my own bed room again. There are so many personal things which I packed away before I left home that it will be a thrill to unpack those things again and to luxuriate in being home.

How are the fellows in the dorm? I should write them, but you know how it is. Give them my regards and remember me to all the fellows. I miss you all.

Radio Contest Is Open To Students

In an effort to uncover new talent in radio writing, the Mutual Broadcasting System is inaugurating a new half-hour dramatic show, “The Carrington Playhouse,’’ to be aired for the first time Thursday, February 21, from eight until eight thirty p. m., EST.

The reward for the winning entries will be $200 and all winners will automatically become eligible for the special Carrington Award of an additional §500 and a handsome plaque, which will be awarded for the best script submitted during any thirteen week period. Each winner will also be awarded a recording of the broadcast.

Elaine Carrington, famed radio script writer, author and playwright, and Phillips Carlin, Mutual’s Vice President in charge of programs, believe that the future for radio as a dramatic medium must depend upon new talent. They maintain that students in the higher educational institutions and the returning servicemen are the source of this talent and it is in this interest that this new program is being produced.

Scripts that are submitted do not have to be the last word in radio writing. Anyone with a good story to tell and enough knowledge of radio technique to tell it is welcome to submit material for possible use in the Playhouse. The nature of the script will have few limitations. Everything from comedy to melodrama will have its place in the series.

In judging manuscripts, full appreciation of a new writers difficulties will be taken into consideration in making selections.

The network is soliciting the cooperation of established radio, dramatic and journalism departments of universities and colleges throughout the country to unearth new writing talent. The radio writing departments and work shops of all higher educational institutions embracing such courses have been advised of the Carrington Playhouse series, and entry blanks are being made available to all personnel through various department heads.

The Bulldogs as they try to annex the remaining half of the conference title tonight at Emporia, are bumping into the hottest team of the Conference just now. Two weeks ago C. of E. was firmly entrenched in the cellar with no wins and 5 defeats. Now they have 4 wins and 5 defeats with a possibility of tying for second place. During the past two weeks the revived Presbys have knocked off Baker and Bethel and have all but knocked the Ottawa Braves out of any chance for a part of the title by defeating them in both engagements. The Presbys, bolstered this semester, by the return of several veterans, boast the tallest team in the Kansas Conference. C. of E’s attack is spearheaded by a trio of Smith brothers, in the last two games it has been brother Jack Smith who has been racking up the points.

Arthur “Dutch” Lonborg, basketball coach at Northwestern University, will be guest speaker at a banquet given in honor of all the basketball teams of McPherson by the Junior Chamber of Commerce on April 1.

Lonborg is no stranger around McPherson as he coached the McPherson College Bulldogs back in

1922    and 1923. In both 1922 and

1923    the Bulldogs under his tutelage were runner-up in the old Kansas Conference. The old Kansas Conference had 18 schools in it and included every college in Kansas with the excep

Coach Tom Hayden’s McPherson College will be after an undisputed Conference champion, ship as they tangle with a strong College of Emporia team on the Emporia maples this evening.

The Presbys are riding the crest of a 4 game winning streak and boast the tallest team in the Kansas Conference. A trio of Smith brothers have been spearheading the revived Presby’s attack.

Coach Hayden’s starting lineup will probably include Krehbiel and McBroom at forwards, Lee Nordling at center, and “Dolly” Unruh and Paul Markham at the guard spots. Bobby Barr and Verlyn Fisher are also sure of seeing considerable action.
