A Fair Deal

To Faculty Members Only

President Harry Truman has announced that his second term in the White House will deal mainly with getting a “fair deal” for all concerned. While Mr. Truman has been pondering on the quirks of his administration, we have been pondering on a “fair deal” for the student body of McPherson College. Just recently a certain faculty member in making an announcement about an approaching test merely said that in the very near future that there would be one given.

When questioned if he would announce the specific date that the test would be given, this faculty member merely said that we should all be prepared. We want a “fair deal” for students.

The number of wide-eyed, gaping expressions of amazement and despair which prevail after an instructor announces a quiz with a scanty three days’ notice we should think would discourage a professor from following the same pattern a second time. But evidently this response made no penetration into the professor’s lack of awareness of the students’ position.

We suggest that the faculty adopt a system of course programming so that at the beginning of each semester a student has given him a mimeographed “scoop sheet,” listing the complete schedule which the course will follow. Some schools now use this method and have proved that course outlining is very beneficial to both the students and the faculty members. First, as a timesaver, the system is hard to top. The assignment sheet is simply distributed when the course begins, and the professor need only refer his students to it for each subsequent day’s work.

Secondly, tests and small quizzes are announced on the assignment sheet, making it much easier for the students to gauge the number of hours necessary to prepare for tests. The student, with assignment sheet in hand, has something concrete on which to base his opinions besides the brief summary which the professor may choose to give at the beginning of the semester.

Finally, the system would be of great aid in bringing the student to exercise his own responsibility in the planning of his schedule. And since college should develop responsibility this programming outline would sene two purposes. The student could shop around at the term’s beginning and compare the prospectus of the courses which he is considering, paying particular attention to the work load involved in each. He could regard weeks during which several exams or papers might fall due, with an eye to eliminating activities which would jam up his time schedule.

This system’s main aim is to provide the student with something tangible, telling what he will be expected to accomplish during the semester. We hope that every faculty member will try to use some form of this system in order to equip his students better for greater academic achievement, and to enable them to plan in advance so that their free time can be profitably and enjoyably spent  Do not be like the vague professor. Outline your semester, help the students to higher academic achiev ment.

Are You Guilty?

For Students Only

McPherson College has just gone through another student officer election. The past election has brought a few things to mind that students and the student council could do to help improve the yearly elections.

One of the things that particularly stood out in this year’s election was the infantile pastime of defacing the candidates campaign posters. Posters for all candidates were penciled with crude remarks and in some cases even removed. Each and everyone of us should learn to respect the efforts of different factions. We need not approve of some of these efforts, and yet we should never degenerate to adolescent tricks such as has been evident in the past election. In future elections respect the efforts of the opposition; if you do not agree, get out and campaign for the candidate that most closely meets what you want done.

Another improvement for the elections is the need of a regular ballot box which would be complete with a lock. For a number of years the council has used any type of a paste board box with a slot cut in the lid. Nothing serious has happened as yet as far as the ballots are concerned; but if a regular ballot box were obtained, it would lessen the dangers that might occur.

These two things that have been mentioned are only suggestions that would, we feel, improve the general election which is held yearly on the Mac College campus.

Easter Editorial

Whose King?

It was on Palm Sunday that Jesus permitted the people to hail Him as King. Earlier He had refused to accept such homage. A few days later, when Pilate asked Him whether He was a king, Jesus said He was. But when Pilate called Him King of the Jews, in the superscription on the Cross, the Jew’s protested. He was not their king.

Whose King, then, was He?

To Pilate He said, “My kingdom is not of this world.” On an earlier occasion He had explained that the “kingdom is within you.” His is a spiritual kingdom. He is King in the hearts of men, but not in the hearts of all. Only where men believe in Him and obey Him. Only where men hail Him in wholehearted loyalty and serve Him sincerely.

It may be in the heart of a child which sings. “Beau,-tiful Saviour, King of creation, Son of God and Son of Man,” or in the heart of one who more fully senses that “He is the King of Glory.” In every instance where a person sees in Him his one and only hope of salvation. there Christ is King and Savior.

O Christ, King ever glorious, accept the homage of our humble, trusting hearts. Stir up within us unflagging loyalty and breathe into us a spirit of service worthy of Thy followers.

Interview

‘Hamlet’ Cast Is Congenial Group Says Tom Rea

"Just one big happy family." is the way Tom Rea pictured the twenty-two members of the University of Kansas’ cast of "Hamlet." "We have to be that way. otherwise we could never work on such a difficult production."

Mr. Rea told about the company from 1£. U. over cups of hot coffee that occasionally needed "hotting Up." Mr. Ren gave a groat deal of the credit to the Craftons who head the speech and drama de- partment at the university. Mr. Rea said that the Craftons inspired people to get along with each other and one rapidly learns to work with them and to respect them. Another outstanding thing about the present cast is the way every member that plays a minor role dubs into another role or another task with the company.

For instance. Mr. Rea pointed out Mr. Tom Shay who plays the part of Laertes and who was also responsible for the unique way of building the 14 ft. flats that the company curries on a 10 ft. trailer. Mr. Shay is the techincal di-rector of the cast. In order to carry the oversize flats on the undersize trailer it was necessary to  hinge the last four feet so that the flats could he easily transported.

Mr. Rea pointed out that the scenery and effects that will be used here in MchPerson will be all new scenery especially designed and constructed for the road tour.

Mr. Rea stated that besides teaching several speech classes, attending a few graduate classes, and rehearsing plays for the University Theater that the twenty-four hours allotted to one day just would not stretch for any other activity. However, he pointed out that he was very enthusiastic about ice skating and is eagerly looking forward to the time when he will have an opportunity to learn to ski:    He also

mentioned that as far as spring and summer sports go, tennis is his main love.

To Tom Rea. a former student, and the entire cast of "Hamlet." we of the college and the city wish you all a gallant success.

Seniors React Unfavorably To Comprehensives

Seniors of the college have just finished taking annual compre-hensives. The Spectator has interviewed a few of the seniors to find out just what their reactions to the tests were. Most of the seniors disapproved of Rome phase of the tests. Many recommended that the test be given in the Junior year In order to help them to cover the material they did not know.

One person interviewed stated. "The comprehensive test will indicate what the teachers have not gotten across to the students or the students have not grasped. The returns of this test will not be back in time to benefit the student before be graduates. This should be given perhaps earlier so the teacher can give his students what they lack."

Another senior begrudged the time spent on the tests for the amount of good that was received from the test. He said, "comprehensive examinations prepared and administred by the college are not valuable enough to Justify the amount of time and effort required to give the tests. It might be more profitable for both student and faculty members if the standardized graduate tests were required or perhaps some type of original research work in the student's major subject.”

Some seniors complained that "comprehensives could be of value if they tested the work you had had, but most of the material in the standardized test was certainly new to me.”

Reiterating the same idea, another senior stated that “with the exception of a small percent of the questions, I felt that the Graduate Record examination tested us over foreign material, and therefore was not comprehensive of emphasis in this school at least."

Names of these seniors have been withheld but are on file la the Spectator's office.

Home Economics Adds To Staff

McPherson’s home economics department will become a two-teacher department beginning September 1949. This action was tak-en by the Board of Trustees at their annual February meeting.

Students now majoring in the department will be able to specialize in Dietetics. Foods and Nutrition. and according to Miss Mildred Siek, " The students will become better trained teachers of Home Economics, and more efficient homemakers as a result of these changes."

New courses have been added to the department, which will include Fundamentals of Clothing, Child Guidance, Experimental Cookery, Nutrition and Dietetics, Institutional Management, and Quantity Cookery.

The present course in advanced clothing will be revised to consist of laboratory work completely with incidental lecture work. Several other courses in the present curriculum will be revised from the standpoint of name, number of hours credit, and change in content of material offered.

Miss Siek says, "Since this information is not in the newly printed catalogs for the year 1949-50. it is hoped that students as well as faculty will inquire about these changes and will tell prospective students of the additional opportunities in the department of Home Economics.”

Locker Chatter

The McPherson College baseball squad seems more or less to at last have hit its stride in defeating the strong Friends University diamond squad. Good pitching combined with errorless ball gave the Bulldogs the win, their first of the year, from probably the strongest team they have met so far this year.

Future track strength is indicated by the results of the Sterling triangular meet with Sterling. Central, and McPherson participating. Of course, the competition at Sterling undoubtedly was less than any other meet during the season; however a number of freshmen performers gave promise of developing into good trackmen in the next three years.

Prof. Bechtel: All right. Who is this speaking?
