Personal values are of great importance to people all over the world and they should not be forgotten. Personal values was the topic on which Dr. Ward, coordinator of the North Central Association, spoke to the student body and faculty Wednesday morning.

Ur. Ward says that in the world there are many values. Some of these are facts, things upon which we all agree. Chemistry. and Biology are studied to find out how substances are going to affect a person. Social science courses are taken to learn how the government is administered. This is very important to the people as it helps them to know

how to vote intelligently. But personal values are often neglected in college courses. Personal values must be something besides knowledge. Values belong to each individual and make him the unique creature that he is.

Dr. Ward illustrated his talk by reading a variety of poems. "Elephants Are Different to Different People” was the title of the first one. An elephant was viewed by three people. As they looked at the elephant, each one of them looked at it from a different angle but there were uo arguments as the gentlemen did not wish to spoil the suuny Sunday afternoon and Sunday only comes once a week.

The second poem read by Ur. Ward was entitled “While Loveliness Goes By,” which shows that people are like children as a circus goes by. Many things are only momentary; they pass and are lost.

Personal values are love, birth, death and the persons relation to God. A person does not know what there are until they face or experience them.

Another of the poems was of a small girl who saw death for the first time and did not understand it. The next one expressed the mood of someone who looks out at snow on a winter day. This emphasizes the fact that more is learned about oneself through unpleasant experiences than through pleasant ones.

Further, ho read a poem pic-

turing the journey of the wise men who came to see the infant Jesus. The pecularity of the poem was the fact that the author spent most of the time telling how the wise men got there and passes over when they arrive. He then talks about what Jesus was like later. This is not just the view of this author but of many of the people the world over. They are greatly concerned with the least important things and pass lightly over the important ones.

The last poem showed how personal values change decisions and manners of interest. It was a picture of the cities of the past, now destroyed, which used to be great cities and thought there would be no change.

McPherson College Again On The Air

“Broadcast from McPherson College? Wo will be delighted.” Such was the response of President Peters and the administration of the college to the proposal of broadcasting over the radio station KWBW at Hutchinson.

The value of radio as a medium of expression was recognized, in addition to the benefit students in the speech department of the college could get. Other departments of the college were to contribute to the broadcasts, such as with vocal and instrumental music.

Success greeted the efforts of the participants of those original broadcasts during the second semester of the 1944-45 school year. The weekly program was entitled the "McPherson Hour,” and it consisted of a variety of presentations. The purpose was not to advertise the college, but only to provide good programs in the name of the college.

Due to lack of critical materials the broadcast was not made possible the last school year. However, the project was revived this year, with all arrangements properly made.

The second broadcast of the “McPherson Quarter Hour," as it is termed this year, was given at the regularly scheduled time, 2:30 p. m. Thursday, November 21. The program consisted of a piano solo by Lois Kauffman, a vocal number by Esther Miller, the reading of several poems written by A. A. Milne, rendered by Bonnie Alexander, and a brief presentation of some new aspects of children’s literature. Russell Jarboe was the announcer for the fifteen minute period.

The afternoon of November 14, saw the initial broadcast of the new school year, with several of the college students participating. The ladies varsity quartet opened the program singing the official college song. Gordon Corwin rendered a baritone solo. "How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings," and his number was followed by a piano solo, entitled “Etude in F Sharp Minor,” played by Miss Anne Krehbiel of the music faculty.

Edward Roland Sill's poem. “Tho Fool’s Prayer,” was interpreted by Willard Agee, Paul Haworth, and Russell Jarboe. A Fred Waring arrangement of the Negro spiritual. “Steal Away,” was then sung by the ladles quartet to close the program. Paul Haworth served as announcer for the broadcast.

Much of the credit for the success of these programs needs to be given to the radio committee, composed of Miss Lehman. Miss Krehbiel. Professor Frederick, and Professor Bowman. A variety of numbers for the broadcasts is promised by the committee. Students and friends of the college are invited to "tune is" at 1450 kilocycles on your dial to bear for yourself the "McPherson Quarter Hour."

Thanksgiving Vacation

Thanksgiving vacation for college, students and faculty will officially begin at 1:00 p. m. on Wednesday afternoon, November 28. No classes will be held from 1:00 p. m. on Wednesday until the 8:00 a. m. class period the fol-lowing Monday morning, December 1. Although many of the students will spend the holidays at home, or in the homes of friends and relatives, the dormitories will remain open and meals will be

served in the, dining hall throughout the Thanksgiving recess.

Faw Delivers Chapel Address

Rev. Chalmer Faw spoke on "The Salt of the Earth” in chapel Monday morning. In Africa salt. is very precious and rare. Laborers there spend up to one fourth of their earnings for it.

Why did Christ use the word salt? Some people say it is a preservative. It also brings out the flavor in foods and makes them edible. Rev! Faw used the present tense when he said "ye are the salt of the life.” You possess those qualities which make life livable.

The Christian has faith, hope, love, tolerance, zeal, and passion for goodness, unquenchable opposition to wrong. You must not lose saltiness or savor. The Christians that are "washed out” have lost their savor. Those who are "mixed or half baked” have the dirt of the world mixed in with them.

You must have salt in your life. You cannot live on the salt of your parents. The world is salt hungry and if you are without salt how can you give it to the world?

We Christians have this precious salt lot us not lose it, let us he ready to use it.

Chapel Held in Church

As we entered the sanctuary Friday morning, strain? of organ music reached our ears. After the prelude, played by Mrs. San Romani, Paul Wagoner read the 95th Psalm and led the group in prayer.

The male quartet. K. Naylor, R. Jarboe, R. Keim, and R. Moyer and the organ served as background music for a flannel-graph given by Eileen Eble. This portrayed a home and a field of ripened grain.

Miss Bonnie D. Burk sang a solo, "Trust In Him.” accompan-ied at the organ by Mrs. San Romani.

Poems on autumn and to the Father of all nature were read by Miss Della Lehman, with organ music for background.

The quartet sang "Faith Of Our Fathers’’ for the concluding number.

Faw Speaks At College Church

Last Sunday morning, Reverend Chalmer Faw, Professor of New Testament and Christian Ethics at Bethany Biblical Seminary, spoke the first of a series of talks which composed to a large extent the program of Religious Emphasis Week here at the College and the Brethren Church. Reverend Faw is a native of the state of Washington, and before be became a member of the faculty of the Seminary, he spent five years in the African Mission Field.

He stated that his over-all theme for the week was going to he "The Christian Answer.” He expressed his hope that the answers would he a doctrine of love, one of righteous love in action.

In beginning his discussion of “The (God of Love,” Reverend Faw stated that the basis for love is the fact that “God is.” It is assumed by the Bible that God exists. We are aware of God’s presence In our midst in the semblance of the Holy Spirit. Reverend Faw’s second generalization was the statement “God is righteous.” Primitive religions believe that God is both good and bad; on the other hand, the Old Testament prophets and psalmists instill in us a feeling that God is consistently righteous. “God is righteous love” was Reverend Faw’s third statement in his talk Sunday morning. He pointed out that although primitive religions had warm feelings for God. their love of Him was separated from morality. Righteousness and Jovo are fused inseparably. Righteous love is dependable, impartial, bounteous, individual, and sacri-ficial. In closing. Reverend Faw expressed his belief that ‘‘The Christian Answer” begins with

Last Sunday evening' Reverend Faw continued his series of talks on “The Christian Answer,” to bring the second message which ho entitled “The Life of Love.” He stated that the life of love to Hve for and desire is the love that was portrayed in the life of Jesus. Jesus’ love grew out of a deep and abiding relationship with God. That kind of relationship is open to all of us today. Reverend Faw further commented that Jesus met. the real needs of men whom he contacted, not merely their wants. Jesus appealed to the wills of men. not to their emotions. He let people make their own choices, but He gave encouraging love to help men to live up to their decisions.

In closing. Reverend Faw stated that righteous love is devotion to the highest total development of all men, without any discrimination whatsoever.

Ur. Faw spoke each evening at the church, in chapel Monday and Friday, and at SCA Thursday evening. Religious Emphasis Week is held annually with the church and the college cooperating in a week of Christian emphasis. Special music was provided each evening of the meetings by music organizations of the college and the church, under the direction of Professor Frederick.

Witnessing for Christ"

Is SCA Program Theme

“Witnessing for Christ in Africa" was the title of Dr. Faw's talk at the SCA meeting yesterday evening. Following an opening message in song. Ur. Faw told first of God’s witnessing in Africa. God had been working and witnessing in Africa centuries before the missionaries arrived. People, tribes, and nations come and go, but God had not left himself without a witness.

Secondly, the missionary takes bis witness, or present knowledge which they have about God. clarifies it and leads them on to a fuller and more complete understanding of God. They had a belief, but not an adequate belief, and not in Jesus Christ.

Third, the missionaries’ ultimate goal is. to teach the African and bring him to the place at which be can carry on and be a witness without the assistance and help of the missionary, who strives to reproduce in the African the works of Christ.

It is true that there are many trials and temptations, but with the aid of God, much good is being done.

Enrollment Up One

Another freshman enrolled this week, Max Callon from McPherson. makes it three Gallons in College this fall boosting that enrollment closer to two hundred.

BYPD Hold Hymn Sing

A hymn sing composed the program for the BYPD in the half hour preceding the Sunday evening church service. June Landes was the song leader, and at the piano was Doris Coppock.

During the song service a short business session was held, presided over by Euialia Crist, president of the organization. A now program committee was elected by the group, consisting of John Firestone, chairman; Ruth Rogers, Marianna Stinnette, and Kenneth Brown. The retiring committee was composed of June Landes, Ruth Davis, and Marvin Blough. The service was closed with more singing.

Plantation Singers Give Lyceum Program

A large audience was entertained by the Plantation Singers, Monday night, in the high school auditorium. The dusky singers first appeared on the stage in red bell-boy jackets and dark trousers.

They opened their program with "Swanee River” and "Down Home." David Smith acted as master of ceremonies throughout the evening.

Charles. Douglas, a nineteen year old pianist, played with the Tulsa City Philharmonic last summer. He gave a rendition of Grieg’s "Concerto in A Minor." He returned to the stage to play Rubenstein’s familiar "Melody in F.”

The quartet returned to bring two spirituals, “I Want To Be Ready,” and "Good News, Chariot’s Comin'."

To add a little humor to their performance the singers offered "The Big Pie Song,” and as a warning to young bachelors, "I Wish I Were Single Again.” The last number of this group was “Trials and Tribulations.”

Charles Douglas gave a bit of humorous dramatization along with his "Theme I Concerto II, last works of Hidin’.” As an encore he played a group of popular songs.

The quartet sang "Were You There" and "Ezekial Saw De Wheel," two Negro spirituals.

James Adams sang "Old Man River" in the true Negro manner. "Moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven was presented by Mr. Douglas.

The quartet for their closing numbers sang "Sleep Kentucky Babe,” "Little Liza I Love You," and "Swanee River."

Prayer Is SCA Program rheme

The picture of "Christ in Geth-semane’’ was softly illuminated by candlelight, and beautiful strains of prayer-hymns could be heard in the SUR last Thursday, November 14, in the SCA Worship service. The theme of the service was “Prayer."

Beverly Smeltzer furnished the music for the service; Margaret Keim sang two solos "Evening Prayer" and "To Thee, O Lord” and led the group in singing. Frances Petefish read two poems, "My Prayer” and “Someone Had Prayed”.

Warren Hoover gave a talk on "Practical Prayer." "The depth of a man’s religion can be seen in the way he prays, or, we might say doesn’t pray. Prayer is talking with God—not just to God, but with God. You have not re-ally prayer when you have SAID your prayer, but when you have thought and lived your prayer. Just as faith without works is dead, so prayer without works is dead.”

Your prayers may often seem unanswered, but the trouble may be that you asked God for the wrong thing. He knows what you have need of before you ask him. In Christ’s examples of prayer and in the prayers ho prayed to God, he always said, "May not my will but thine be done,” which is the perfect prayer.

When you pray and say "Amen" at the end, you are saying, in effect, "This is the prayer that I feel Jesus would pray if he were here, so be it.” Do not tack hte name of Jesus on anything that Is not worthy of Him.

Christianity In Action

Put Kennedy spoke to the Christianity in Action Commission Tuesday of her experiences as recreational director at the Girls Industrial School which is located at Beloit, Kansas. The school houses an average of 120 girls, from 12 to 17 years old. Girls are sentenced to Beloit for reasons ranging from truency to prostitution and check forging. This creates a sad situation, for many young girls who are not really bad become so hardened from hearing the older girls talk of their former exploits, that when released, they will also lead a life of this type.

When a girl has served her terh and earned enough credits, sue is paroled. This is a poor system. in that the girls are given to the care of their parents, if they have any. Often times the parents are loath to accept this responsibility and in reality shun the child instead of helping her.

In studying the case histories of many of the girls. Pat discovered that almost invariably their brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers were either in state prisons or reformatories, or had a prison record. Often times, they had no parents at all or step parents who took no interest in them. Probably the one factor which led the girls to Beloit is the lack of a Christian homelife when they needed it most.

Student Volunteers

An interesting and different program was presented to the group of students at the Tuesday meeting of the. Student Volunteers. A recorded program entitled “The Cow Who Went to Sea" was the subject and it told the story of grade children in Decatur, Illinois, who saved $100 to buy a cow. They named her Faith. She was sent to Puerto Rico to relieve hungering people there. The record was interestingly presented and was enjoyable.

Thanksgiving

“Thanksgiving is our most venerable American holiday. It is three hundred and twenty years old. The Pilgrims, in the autumn of 1621, came together, not so much for a harvest feast, but for a day of prayer and thanksgiving for deliverance from the perils of the first New England winter, for their escape from wild beasts and from Indian arrows. This was no hilarious festival. They had been obliged to bury their dead at night, so that the Indians might not know that the tiny group was reduced. Half of the colony died during the first winter, including Governor Carver. Yet those who remained steadfastly gave their blessings. They had in them the same spirit of courage and defiance of danger which have made the people of Britain today the marvel of the world.

Those who at this hour make Thanksgiving a kind of Falstaffian orgy of turkey and cranberry sauce and the “trimming" are very remote from the true spirit of the festival. As we meet at this harvest feast, to revel in the plenty which comes to most American homes, let us not forget to give thanks for our still greater blessings.

We give thanks that the torch of culture is still burning brightly in the land of the free, that its sacred fire may be used to illume the world.

We give thanks for the spirit of tolerance which enables us to understand and appreciate the shortcomings of others—to view well meant difference of opinion without condemning others for holding them."

The Lord Is God

"Know that the Lord he is God ; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

"For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations."

Using an effective expression often heard in my child-hocd in Virginia, "Things are in a mess.” Yet however much wrong there is in the world, we should not lose sight of the fact that whatever is wrong is altogether the result of what is wrong with folks or people—both individually and collectively. If we would improve the world we must improve the lives of folks, and this becomes definitely an educative process. To have better homes, communities, states, and nations, we must have better men and women physically, intellectually, and spiritually, and this will be made possible only when there is more efficient education in the home, the school, the college, and the church. To these more formal educational institutions should be added the cinema, the radio, the forum, and the press.

This beaming couple is putting the finishing touches on their

plans for their wedding in Quin ter. December 21.

Lets change this column for a change and give the gentlemen an idea of what the well dressed men are wearing this fall and winter.

Starting from ground up we find that loafers and saddles (ditto for girls) are adorning the fellows souls and heels. Pants are any ol’ thing he happens to have lying around; all the more fashionable covered with dirt or paint. Shirts range anywhere from bright yellow and purple to pale pastel shades including bright plaids, stripes, etc.

But once in a great while the male has a very heavy date with his best girl and he wishes to impress her, so out comes his best bib-and-tucker. This might be a pair of light tan pants and a plain baby blue jacket. Stunning? Yes!

Or he might don a beautiful dark brown pin-striped suit with a white shirt and a necktie he bought himself. He had dozens of them but these were all gifts and were too hideous to wear. Seldom, very seldom is the top of the head adorned with a hat.

For instance the practice of inviting the boy out to a meal, used by Metzler and Oberst, is one of the best ways, for strong is the boy that doesn’t wilt before a home-cooked meal and the bait was sufficient to cause Don and Wag. to forego the pleasures of the chase. Of course there were several other “steadies" that were mysteriously parried off without much chase—they figure there chasing days are over. We hear that Bonnie Webb used her sister’s car as bait but “Nick" decided that it wasn’t sufficient.

Ruth Berry resorts to the old food trick too, as she tempts Giles with a cherry pie—no wonder the boys are singing to Bill, “Can she bake a Berry pie, Billy boy" Stonebraker uses that mutual interest angle to keep Moyer trotting along at a dog trot. Margaret Keim waits Low-e for her man and Kauffman depends on the letter writing trick.

We don’t know exactly what kind of tricks Carter uses but when Reist writes home for more money because he has a girl, then she must have something. Even Firestone blossomed out with one of those “church” dales Sunday-—just give the freshmen time girls. Buster will be next.

Of course some girls depend upon good looks for their man, others on their personality but Estel Mitchell goes “Amazon” flexing those biceps and climbs up in this world to chase the men down—and she already had one on the ground. It is reported that Rothrock got rather high at the party—due to the cider or the women.

Leaving the subject of lures, disguises, and baits we heard something about Dr. Fleming, being on the third floor of Kline Hall Sunday morning looking for Miss Harris. Arnold Hall can return to normal now with the

Miss Lillian Jacobs, 20, of New York City, above, has been adjudged one of the three winners in the Junior Bazaar 1946 Design Contest. She will receive one of the three first prizes of $1,000 and a two-year scholar-ihip to the Traphagen School of Fashion in New York City. The contest was open to college, high school and art students between the ages of 17 and 21.

Miss Jacobs’ winning design, shown at right, was a silhouette dress with tight bodice, full skirt and a wool jersey with a stripe and circle pattern and three-quarter length sleeves with long detachable cuffs.

It will be displayed in stores in Richmond, Va., Atlanta, Ga„ Bridgeport, Conn., Boston, Mass., and Washington, D. C.

Miss Jacobs was the winner of the eastern section of the national contest.

bad little girls back in good stand lug. We begun to think that wo were living In the time of the Re-volutionary war and were surrounded by the red coats. Or were their faces just red and they were trying to detract from them by wearing red sweat shirts?

It seems we have a reformation of character, Scotty went to church Sunday evening and from all indications might even go again.

Crumpacker. Schnorr and Mohler must have had quite a wait at Harnley’s Thursday noon. Lurry Pickens was heard to have said that he wishes he would have gone back home for pie and ice cream. At Least that would have been all the easy way to got caught and he would have avoided being: dragged out of the gymnasium by 6, more or less, females. No such expression came from the other two gentlemen.

This Wagoner, Metzler affair that "busted" several Specs back seems to Have mended and from all indications, it will take several hard knocks to "bust" this twosome again. Is this a repetition of the Albright, Metzler affair?

It is reported that Janet Owen and Leland Nordling skipped a class to enjoy each others company out of town. No authentic information is available and "far be it from me" to print anything but the truth.

What’s this rumor that has been going the rounds about Maggie Keim getting cold feet? Who warmed them, Maggie? Was it Jack? (Griffith, that is.)

"Gee, can that woman ever bake good cherry pie!" this from Bill Giles. Nice goin’ Ruth; take heed girls, all it takes is a cherry pie made by your own two little hands.

And then there’s the trip to Salina that Rothrock and Beam took (with their women). Muddy roads make a good story, but it’s getting kinda’ old isn’t it?

. . . that excuse, I mean!

What’s this I heard about the future tie-up of Jim Stull and Tex Lobban? More power to ya’

kids.

Hey, Graham, it was only a little lipstick from a close contact. Don’t let it worry you too much.

We seldom see Rothrock walking across the campus as most (?) dignified seniors do (?), but instead he dashes madly for the nearest tree or building. "That woman again," comes his desperate cry. Don’t people around here know that Sadie Hawkins’ is past or does Rothrock have to continue his mad dashing about? Incidentally, Bert seemed to have him under control Saturday night, even if it was a muddy road.

Phone calls from as far as La-Verne must cost quite a bit, eh, Marv? Thanks to the L. V. College dorm girls.

Oh me. oh my, this diggin’ has been given’ me a time. You learn so-o-o-o many illuminating (?) things and get your nose knocked in so-o-o-o many times. Oh. oh, here comes Rothrock, and you know what that means . . . See ya’ later . . . much later, after my bruises get all healed up!

Diary Data

Approximately one year ago today, Fahnestock Hall threw open her doors as she celebrated her annual open house.

We have a column not published tills year. Maybe it is a good thing. It went something like this. Roberta was only a professor’s daughter but she learned her lesson. Strickler was only a milkman’s daughter but she was the cream of the crop. Jo B. was only a convict’s daughter but she knew when to faint. Wampler was only a dairyman’s daughter but what a calf. Sybil was only an electrician’s daughter, but she had good connections. Is it any wonder this column was discontinued?

The outing club had a picnic down at the park with gobs and gobs of good food. And they had the brass to go hack to the dorm and ask the kids what they had for supper.

And then deal Doc Bowersox was heard to remark in Greek History class, “Well. Mrs. Kurtz. I see you chaperoned four unmarried ladies on a trip.” The four unmarried ladies were Miss Lehman, Miss Harris, Miss Seik, and Miss Brown.

No other events do I find. I look in vain for more news. Everybody sure must have made good grades for one week.

"What do I like and dislike most about women?" has caused a great deal of thought to the male population around Macol-

lege. I don’t know why these

guys had to think for such a long time about it. Females aren’t so1 bad. honest. Well, anyway

Clifford Shultz says simply "Me." He likes to be about ’em all the time. He thinks that Phyllis "Queenie’’ Strickler has all the feminine charms, personality, and attractiveness of women all rolled up into one. He does hate a general attitude of condescension and snobbishness. Brother Russell is

a woman-hater; I thought that ought to sum up the situation nicely.

Junior Eberly dislikes blue jeans. That is all; but he dislikes them so much that he decided to leave town. He is probably | back though. Robert Yoder says that some look all right in jeans; the rest, just look plain sloppy. He likes good personalities, figures, and nice faces; he dislikes | snobs, and so do all the other

men. Gordon Stutzman admires good looks and brains. He thinks they are superb ( he grinned sheepishly as he said this; I don’t know why.)

Ted Geisert likes women for the fact that they are dames, and dislikes them for the fact that they are dames.

"There’s nothing I especially like about them. Most of them wear too much make-up.” This was voiced by Billy Albright. But cheer up. girls; John Firestone thinks you’re wonderful! He told me so as he went into a semiswoon.

Morris McClung: "I have nothing to say. I am a bachelor and intend to remain the same." So, after him. gals; and I will personally award a medal to the first one who gets him to change his mind. Lowell Brandt won’t have a thing to do with women. He considers them one of the evils of a co-educational college, I suppose.

Don Keim doesn’t care a thing about them as long as there are

enough of them around. The only trouble is that there aren’t enough around. Hill Giles likes a girl if she can cook. They tell me Giles has a tapeworm. He’s cute, though, for a’ that.

• There is one gentleman who does prefer blondes, and that is Herbert Goering. He doesn’t like blue jeans and make-up, though.

Elvin Wolf answered simply

Her." meaning Bonnie of course. Make of that what you will. That boy is a card- the little joker!

Vernon Nicholson says "I love ’em all," but Kenny Brown main-tains that "I like mine and only nine.” Remember, he was one who would get married if he had $10,000. Merrill Sanger likes everything about girls, especially if they’ve got their hair piled oil top of their heads.

Royce Loshbaugh said he was a woman hater from way back. That I have got to see! Don Guth-als won’t have a thing to do with women: "they are too fickle."

Russell Jarboe admires most "the quality of being faithful in devotion.” His little (?) brother Kenny likes femininity more than anything, liven Stern, the little guy who wears that purty mustard-colored sweater, says: "I like charming personalities; I like beauty, too. but it doesn’t mean everything." He likes to tell his troubles to girls and have them sympathize with him.

Carl Beckwith would not tell me anything. He’s married, you know: and I suppose he thought Carrie Belle would take whatever he said to heart.

Boh Martin, said, without any coaching from me either: "She

must he nice, intelligent, (?) pretty. (?) loyal, and her initials must be H. M. S."

So girls, you are now on your own; you know what the men like and what they don’t like. Do what you will about it. Remember. next week I will give you a chance to strike back, and personally, I would like to hear somebody put up a good fight for jeans!

Intra-mural Teams To Play

Competition Begins After Thanksgiving

Intra-mural basketball plans have been made and competition will begin as soon as possible after Thanksgiving. The intra-mural committee bus drawn up a set of rules to govern the program. Arrangements are being made to play several evenings each week. The purpose of the program is to let as many boys as possible compete in athletic activities.

Boys are asked to organize teams around natural groups, elect captains, and submit them to the Intra-mural Committee be-fore Nov. 26.

The rules for the basketball schedule:

Part I. Teams.

J. Teams should be formed around natural groups if possible.

2. Any group of boys wishing to enter a team should report to the Intra-mural Com. before Nov. 26.

3. Each team should select a captain to represent their team on the Intra-Mural Council.

4. Each team should select a team name.

5. Not over two former basket-bull lettermen will be allowed on any team.

6. Each team must have at least seven members on the squad.

Part II. Eligibility.

1. All regularly enrolled students are eligible.

2. No numbers of the varsity basketball squad are allowed.

3. No person can be a member of more than one team.

Part III.

1. A team must play at the scheduled time or forfeit the game, fielding five players.

Part IV. Rules of Games.

1. The games shall consist of four, eight minute quarters with regular college rules applying to the conduct of the game.

With the large male enrollment at the college this year there is a definite need for such a program and it is hoped that the men will cooperate in promoting the program. The Intra-mural Com. is composed of Dayton Rothrock. Stanley Sargent. Gordon Reist, Irvin Wolf, and Bill Mease. Gordon and Irvin will have charge of the selection of the game referees and the scoring. Bill will be in charge of the publicity, and Stanley will be the equipment manager.

With the final gun of the M. V. game last week the boys wrote finis to the 1946 football season. This season was a comparatively good season for M. C., winning four, losing three, and tying one.

The boys started strong. They went over to Sterling and scoring two T. D.'s in 4 minutes they grabbed a 13-7 victory. Then came Baker with its high powered eleven and our boys left the fans in mld-air by tying 12-12. C. of E, was next and we literally trumped them 28-0, scoring in every quarter. The next week was the highlight of the whole season. Before a capacity Homecoming crowd the Bulldogs chewed up Kansas Wesleyan, 28-0.

The next week however it was a completely different story. We went to Ottawa for our first defeat and only shutout, 37-0. Bethel was next and the still suffering team came through with a 7-6 thriller. The traditional Swedish game came next and disappointed us 20-13. Tills closed the conference season for us. All that remained was the 32-6 beating we took from Missouri Valley. So much for the game summaries.

Now a look at statistics. Adding up we find that McPherson was outscored by her opponents, 114 to 107. For those fans who believe statistics prove a teams worth, a table of the season’s statistics would look like this.

the personal side. Points are what win games—leading the Bulldogs in scoring, Marvin Meats carried bis end of things. Meats went over four times and as our expert place kicker, made 7 conversions for a total of 31 points. Kenny McBroom did a beautiful job of broken field running going for 3 T. D.’s. Dolly Unruh had the job which calls for a lot of

work, plenty of skill, and little glory, that of blocking back, and he handled it beautifully. Fisher tilled the signals and his worth is shown by the fact that he probably put in more playing time than any Bulldog. One of the big backers that made the Canine offensive was a little guy with the big arm. Jakie Cramer. Many times Jake helped us to the light in some of our darkest moments. Heading into the line we start at end—we find Mac came through with three fine ends this year. Hill and Barr started. The first half of the season Barr was the big gun. He caught pass after pass and was doing a bang-up job

even suit up for our last three games. Hill played consistent ball all season, and coming in to take Barr’s place Martz did a nice job. Also outstanding in the line was Captain “Buck” Reinecker. His ability to handle any situation helped the dogs a great deal. Then too we can’t forget those men who are in on every play, eating the turf the whole game, with little glory. The guys who bold the line together. Fellows like “Scotty.’’ Tillman. Lounsbury, and Rogers go to make a team we are proud of.

If you find a few dark spots in this year's picture, remember only one. Buckingham, a lineman who has palyed with injuries all season, is the only squad member who is a senior and all or nearly all the team will be back next fall.

The cleats and pads were packed away and the trunks taken out as the boys hit the court for the first official practice in basketball. Prospects are looking very good as Hayden has 20 lettermen from which to pick a varsity five.

The Bulldogs face a tough 18 game schedule which starts on December 4 and takes them through the winter to wind up with two games In Iowa, the last one being March 1. It is much too early to do any choosing or picking. Conch will undoubtedly hold practice over vacation and get the team into shape for the first game which will be played on the local court. There will not bo another Spectator before the game so more lowdown will be given after the boys have been seen in action.

The McPherson College Bulldogs added a final chapter to the 1946 football record with a note of disappointment as they absorbed a 32-6 whipping from the Missouri Valley College Vikings. However the score is not the whole story as the “Dogs” didn’t go down without a fight.

The Vikings opened the game by taking the kickoff and driving down-field to a T. D. They added another in the second quarter as Preston’s 22-yard touchdown run climaxed a series of driving plays.

Mac, however, came out of the dressing room for the second half with blood in their eyes. We recovered a fumble on the M. V. 4 0. Brust uncorked a pass complete to Martz for 37 yards. Meats took it to the end zone in two line smashes. It was the first point that had been made through the Viking line all season and raised the score to 23-6.

Just when tilings were looking our way, the tide suddenly turned back and on the second play after the kickoff. Chitwood went around end for GO yards and the Vikings third score. Their next came a few minutes later when Draper grabbed a 35 yard pass to boost the score to 28-6. Their last counter came in the fourth period when Piper went around end for 15 yards and a touchdown.

Baker’s Wildcats will try to clinch the Kansas Conference football championship for 1946 in a game with the Ottawa Braves at Ottawa Friday night.

Baker increased its first place standing two wins and a tie the past on a field goal by Wendell Winkler that resulted in a. 3-0 victory over Kansas Wesleyan.

An Ottawa victory would give the championship to Bethany’s Swedes who have completed their conference schedule with 5 wins and one loss, and would put Ottawa in a tie for second place in the final standings with Baker. Tie games are regarded as “no contest’’ in the Kansas conference.

Fifth place in the seven-team circuit will be the prize for the winner of the Kansas Wesleyan-Bethel game at Salina Friday.

Bethany and C. of E. each have a non-conference date on their cards. Bethany meets Oklahoma City University at Oklahoma City Saturday, while C. of E. takes on Southwestern at home the same day. C. of E. failed to win a game in conference play.

Ottawa University annexed an other Kansas Conference victory at Emporia Nov. 15 at the expense of College of Emporia, 20 to 0.

Ottawa manufactured its first touchdown in the first period when Dale Willhite plunged over from the 2. The second period was scoreless but midway in the third stanza the Braves registered again when Ray Waddell scooted around end from the 7. The final marker came in the dying moments of the game when Bob Behee bounced through from the 1. The last score was set up by a 31-yard pass from Behee to R. Moore.

The last regular meeting of the Outing Club was held last Tuesday afternoon. The members went hunting, armed with cameras. The game was that of getting pictures of the Outing Club in action. The hunt ended in professor Dell’s back yard. Here the girls toasted cubes of bread which had been dipped in milk and rolled in powdered chocolate.

Those attending the WAA swim November 18 were Hershberger, Eshelman, Wampler, Stinnette, Holloway. Hardy. Snow-berger, Lehman, Ikenberry, Kreh-biel and Norlin. This is the sixth meeting of the season.

On the second, third, and fourth of January. McPherson College will play host to a basketball tournament on the Convention Hall cage court here in McPherson.

The basketeers present will represent Baker University, Ottawa University. Bethany, Kansas Wesleyan, Bethel, and the host team from Mac College. College of Emporia, Friends University of Wichita, and Sterling College have declined their invitations.

The tourney will be a round robin affair with each team playing at least two games. The price of admission has not been set as yet. The competing teams will share in the profits of the tourney.

There should he some fine bas-ketball displayed at the tourney and as all teams competing are Kansas Conference teams, it should hold a good share of interest to Mac Campusites.

At the Student Council meeting of October 30, the Initiation Com-mittee reported on initiation and made several recommendations concerning it. It was approved to have a big all school party for the freshmen before Thanksgiving, and that the same committee be retained to make a study of initiation in other schools and report.

The Snack Room Committee also made several recommendations which were approved—tho Snack Room will not open until 12:45 at noons temporarily; the next permanent item for purchase in the Snack Room will be Venetian blinds; since waitresses will be going home over Thanksgiving, Irene S. is authorized to hire help then; resignation of Ivan Rogers accepted: Mildred Snowberger to be hired.

At the Council meeting of November 6, recommendations were made concerning the voting on the name of the Snack Room and placing a container on the counter for contributions.

The Thespians were granted permission to charge $.50 for three one-act plays to be given at the chapel November 14.

It was reported that the pictures given to Student Council will soon be placed in SUR.

The Council will meet in the Town Girls room, if proper arrangement can be made.

A report from the lyceum ticket committee that 243 tickets were sold, was heard.

An unusual program in which all the college students present participated was the order for the evening at the BYPD last Sunday. The program consisted of antiphonal singing in the sanctuary of the college church. Two groups were chosen, with one singing from an upper balcony, and the other from the main auditorium.

Dorris Murdock led the one group, and Marianna Stinnette was the director of the other Various persons served turns as soloists during the hour of hymn singing, including Rebecca Spear. Lyle Miller. John Firestone, Ruth Lichty, and Russell Jarboe. with the respective groups accompanying with humming on the appropriate verses. A duet was sung by Betty Ikenberry and June Landis during the course of the program.
