Kollege Kalendar

Ever hear of the secretary who quit her job because the boss used a couple of offensive words — “You’re fired.”?

Professor Maurice A. Hess gave an account of the backgrouud and history of Cicero, Roman orator, last Monday morning at chapel services. Group singing was led by Professor Donald R. Frederick. He was accompanied at the piano by Bonnie Alexander.

The new chemistry-mathematics teacher has done advanced work at Columbia University, at Duke, and at George Peabody Teacher’s College.

She comes to McPherson College from Oklahoma A. and M where she taught last year.

Miss Plank was unable to come to McPherson because of the serious illness of her mother.

Some of the new neckties on the haberdashery counters have a spilled-on look long before the berry season.

Today, we hear much about "low brows" and "high brows," hut little about eyebrows. The eyebrow. strangely enough. is, probably, the most neglected feature of the human face. What poet has not, at one time or another, sung the virtues of rosy cheeks or red lips? Who among us has never read of limpid eyes? The square chin and high for

ehead are possessions of literally thousands of lit-erary heroes. Even the lowly nose has been honored with an essay worthy of a place in many English texts. The eyebrow, however, re-mains, the unsung feature of the face.

What great scientist, while fulfilling the dream of his life, has not paused momentarily and relieved the strain of his mind and body by pulling one of his eyebrows? Without this tension release, many, of the century's greatest scientific minds would have collapsed. Yet. who of them has ever delved deep into the fatty tissue at the base of the frontal and discovered the scientific basis for the phenomenal growth of a shapely patch of hair above each eye of every man and woman? What author (and all of them twist their eyebrows) has ever written un autobiography entitled "My Eyebrows and I"?

However, it is not only the men of science and literature who have neglected the essential eyebrow. You smile that I should speak of the eyebrow as being essential. Nevertheless, think of the people who are dependent upon eyebrows as their means of livelihood. If One year of work for the Players and the Little Theatre has brought many changes and improvements. The stage has been extended, the curtains have been put up. the dressing rooms are constructed. In the way of electrical equipment, the Players now own six spotlights and three dimmers. Last year they used their new lighting control box for the first time. A complete stage setting of their own construction Is now in the possesison of the Little Theatre group.

For the first time in the history of McPherson College Players, the costuming will be entirely imported. The costumes for "The Hasty Heart" are being provided by a firm in Salt Lake City, Utah.

"The Hasty Heart." a Broadway success under the producing team. Richard Lindsay-Russell Crouse, is staged in a convalescent ward of an Oriental hospital. Harold McNamee will play the role of a wounded Scotch soldier in the hospital, whose last weeks of life are changed significantly by the attitude taken toward him and by his attitude to the follow patients. He has an extremely Independent spirit which almost ruins the intentions of persons who wish to make him happy. Finally, after falling in love, he learns to love his neighbors.

Ann Oberst will take the part of the English Nurse. Margaret. Other soldiers in the convalescent ward scene will be Harry Knapp as the American. "Yank”; Le-Roy Doty as the Australian, "Dig-ger”: John Langley, the English man. "Tommy"; Gordon Reist, the New Zealander, "Kiwi"; Don Reed, the Basauto, "Blossom"; and Lawrence Eggleston as the Orderly. A member of the cast who was overlooked in last week's edition is Gerald Strickler, who will take the role of the Colonel.

Student tickets to "The Hasty Heart" were available each day this week in the main hall of Sharp Hall during the activity period. Play tickets were given to the students on presentation of their activity cards.

there were no eyebrows to pluck, the sale of tweezers would become nil. Ninety per cent of the people in the tweezer manufacturing business would be thrown out of work, Beautitians who specialize in the shaping of eyebrows and all the manufacturers of eyebrow pencils world suddenly find themselves without jobs. Inevitably our entire economic order would be plunged Into a state of grave confusion.

Even If we were able to avoid or survive such economic turmoil. the world would he a most unsatisfactory place in which to live, if there were no eyebrows. Some great thinker would have to devise some means, other than the eyebrow, by which a "high sign" could be given. However, no great thinker could possibly think great thoughts if he had no eyebrows which ho could draw together. The young men would be forced to put into words the feelings they now convey by use of the eyebrow. This would, undoubtedly, result in many broken noses and black eyes. With no eyebrows to pluck, women would be able to to spend more time away from home. This would, eventually, culminate in an Increased divorce rate. But even the pleasure of going to court would he lessened considerably if the Judge had no bushy eyebrows at which to tug.

This may sound too utterly absurd; but, before you raise your brows too high, pause to consider the complexity of a society that Is highly dependent upon the unsung

With an optimistic view toward achieving harmony between the two major political parties of the U. S., the Democratic and the Re-publican, we, the optimists present you the following information The following significant and decisive issues have been agreed upon by both parties. We. the op-timists, think these quotes are very cncouruging.

"Our streams should abound with fish.”

"Everybody that rides in a car or bus uses gasoline and oil.”

The miners of our country are vital to our welfare.”

"You and I have a great respon-sibllity to our children and toward the generations to come."

"You know that your future is still ahead of you.”

"Ours is a magnificent land. Every part of it.”

"I firmly believe that depressions need not be inevitable.”

"The Communists have a long range scheme.”

We are troubled by high prices and we must end the maladjustments which caused them.” "We need more homes for our people.”

"We've got to keep this a free and growing country.”

Keep in mind that the preceding vital issues have been sanctioned by both the Democrats and the Republicans ns major problems for the current political campaign.

Collegian Column

From the Baker News-Bulletin we see that several improvements have been made on the gridiron. No, not the team, but literally the gridiron. New lights-or rather lights (they had none before) have been installed to light the field and parking lots.

Also a score board and a clock (eight feet In diameter!) have been installed.

The project is costing the college approximately $5,000.

So what! Blue paint's expensive

too!!

How Risque!

Last evening, say about 7:45

(that's a quarter to eight,) a few million ( O. K.. so there was only three of as) people from McPherson College literally Invaded the town.

It couldn't have happened in Boston, for, much to the chagrin of a few modest souls, the entire student body was dressed, or rather undressed, in pajamas.

Well, anyway, we had the pajama parade; and was it ever fan!

First, we started down Euclid Avenue taking up as much space as possible. Then we did one of those things that look like something we should have had for breakfast (donut!). Next we proceeded through several of the business houses of McPherson. After making a general nuisance of our-selves, we (all of us) attended the show.

When we entered, rather invaded, the show, everyone (already in the show, that is) was sure the Russians had landed. After a rowdy intermission, the crowd settled down to enjoy the show. P. S. We hear there were several penalties for too much time in the huddle.

Advertising For Peace

At a summer camp which I attended several months ago, I participated in a forum discussion of peace and world problems. Many points of deep contemplation were brought out.

I learned there that Dan West says the odds for chances for peace are only ten to one. Think of it! Only one chance out of ten that we shall have peace with our present nation-neighbors.

If we, the Christian youth of America, a group whose everlasting goal is international peace, do nothing to lower those odds, then will we not be partly to blame for the expected “third world war"?

Most newspapers play up and emphasize the futility of peace. They blast stories across the front page about, for example, a flare-up in Palestine between Jews and Arabs, or between Moscow and Washington in Berlin But do they ever give much space to an agreement, a peaceful treaty, or something in that category? I think that since the vast group of journals over the world seem not to care to propagate peace, that it is our duty to perform that task. We can promote peace with the proper propaganda just as the militarists do by way of the new-sheets.

This peace propaganda, this peace education, is a sort of panacea which every nation, every citizen of each nation, needs in order to remedy national and internation al ills.

Advertisers use the device of repetition to cause gul lible people to buy their sponsored product. By pound ing their product into our brains, by flaunting it before our eyes at every opportune moment, or by telling us about it every fifteen minutes over the various radio networks, these mercenary business men impress upon our minds an image which influences our spending.

Why cannot we use the same device? Can’t it be that we pacifists have not done enough advertising?

We must live as pacifists throughout the whole cycle of wars and the intervals between them. We tend to let our enthusiasm for peace lapse into a lethargy after the war is over. Perhaps some day we will learn that these intervals between wars are the periods which precipitate the armed conflicts.

Immediately after a war is not the only time that Christians with a non-combatant heritage need to make themselves heard. The “advertising” for peace should be released on our neighbors at a more or less constant rate.

Probably the best way to advertise peace is for the individual person to live it. It always has been true that “actions speak more loudly than words.” Remember this THE WAY WE LIVE IS OUR ADVERTISEMENT FOR PEACE.

How SHE Advertised

A new way of fighting war is slowly emerging. The widow of an American Admiral, a Quaker woman, has refused to pay that portion of the Federal tax which would go for war purposes. She paid her income tax with the deduction of 34.6 percent, which is that percentage of the national budget going to military expenditures. She sent the Treasury Department receipts for the amount she had withheld which she turned over to charitable and peace promoting institutions.

The Old Look

Esquire magazine is this year emphasizing the "bold" look, but after a slight glance around campus we feel our accent Is on the "old” rather than the "hold" look.

Esquire recommends candy stripes with plain ties. Joe College (McPherson that Is!) recommends "T" shirts. Saves a fortune in laundry bills!!

Esquire states that every "Collegiate" MUST have at least three suits. Joe (McPherson again) finds sport coats very comfortable.

As for shoes. Esquire says "saddle oxford" are the things. But Joe says, "Have you ever tried to polish those things. Give me Army surplus!"

Well, wo may not be dressed according to the elite, but I ask anyone to find a more comfortably dressed campus.

Eating—Installment Plan

On Saturday evening shortly before 7:30, the residents of Kline Hall nervously stood in front of their closet doors in an attempt to keep out nosey marauders as the first guests started to come to Open House. The visitors were directed first to third floor —living quarters of the girls who have not yet qualified for an apartment on first or second floors.

After carefully examining each room for beauty and cleanliness, and after signing their names in numerous guest books, the guests were invited to indulge in the first course of tomato juice.

They ambled down to second floor and visited the apartments of the married couples living there. Boh and Sybil Keim, head-residents, served the second course of sandwiches, and Miss Harris served the salad course while prominently displaying a shelf of cook books.

Coffee and cake were served for dessert on first floor, and to top it off, the Loshbaughs administered after-dinner mints.

As the guests left, they remarked to one another about the beauty of the rooms and the novelty of the manner of serving the refreshments.

A judge who was asked to ban a book ruled that it was not obscene. The author is expected to appeal.

Players Build Milestone

Next week the College Players will present their fall production.

"The Hasty Heart.” This play, to be presented in the Little Theatre in Sharp Hall, represents a milestone at McPherson College.

We look at the cafeteria improvements with marvel and praise for they came about all at once, but the changes made In the Little Theatre are so great that It hardly seems believable to the student of a few years ago when he remembers this "room” as a drab, dry place.

Let's look back, not too many years, at dramatics at McPherson. The players lacked a full-time director, lacked equipment, and lacked spirit.

Now the department has its own theatre, an army of spotlights, dimmers, sets, enthusiastic students, and a dramtics teacher.

Yes, a milestone has been reached in dramatics at McPherson College.

Being tagged as a full-time screwball, he explains, has been costing him money.

The new look first made its appearance on the fashion pages of this nation's magazines about one year ago, and It has slowly spread across the nation. With the opening ct school, McCollege boys have noticed that it has hit this campus with a swish, and they are destined to spend the next few months content with the 11-Inch from the floor hemline.

The fashion plates of McPherson College are seen dully strolling around the campus in skirts that dangle down around the ankles. We still see many of the last year's faddish ballerina skirt, with yards of material floating around the hemline. but the straight skirt is also coming into prominency this year. Those skirts are supposed to give the girls that "hour glass look" and ere exactly the opposite of the ballerina, with the full hemline. The straight skirt hemlines are hardly generous enough for normal leg movement. What these pals won't go through for the dictates of ole' Dame Fashion!

The blouses this year are much the same as last, with plenty of ruffles, bows, and the Gibson girl effect. The sweaters, too. are still an important part of the MC coed's wardrobe, and it seems that the

short-sleeved variety are becoming more and more popular. Some variations are seen with the girls' initials woven into the sweaters.

For leisure the girls stick to their old faithful blue jeans, and almost any thing from one of Dad's old shirts to one of the McPherson College T shirts is acceptable with them. The more faded the jeans become, the better the gals like them.

Last we touch upon the foot fashion of the campus. Saddles are again popular, us always, and various other types of footwear are seen tromping up and down the campus. One of the most discussed (and laughed at) varieties is the green, red. or yellow suede crepe-soled loafer which is the favorite of several of the girls on the campus. They are not. as yet. wholly accepted by the follows, but in time they will become used to them.

All in all MC coeds are looking pretty good this year, and the fashions seem to flatter them. Now that the gals have furiously worked to let down hems and make the most out of their "old look", clothes, they can only sit back and sigh. "What will they think of next**’ -

Anyway, from now on he says he's going to confine his zany antics strictly to working hours, on the "Spotlight Revue” radio show, heard each Friday, evening on CBS, and on his vaudeville tours with Spike Jones.

Doodles advises that from now on when he is introduced to some-body he is just going to shake hands and say "how do you do”, like anybody else;^- He used to acknowledge introductions by taking a ’drag" on his harmonica, flapping his arms like a seal, and vocalizing his A-flat (all his notes

"While I am trying to make like a man of distinction,” Bays Doodles, "one of the toughest things to buck is that every screwball in the country seems to recognize me as a brother. The other night I am sitting in a restaurant having a dish of tea when a tall, cadaverous guy leans over my shoulder and whispers, ‘you know what?’"

" ' Le's see.' I tell him—so the guy takes off his shoes and socks and sure enough. Know what he's got on his feet? Trees! Just trees. Why do these things always happen to me?"

The day after they left he converted the family estate into a night club, with a neon sign in front and midget cars racing around the outer perimeter. Advis-ed of this outrage by a cable from angry neighbors, the elder Weaver

During his college days he was known as the "mad Monk of Stanford." What happened to Stanford front 1933-37 shouldn’t happen in a reform school. His ex-ploits there have become a kind of fantastic legend, in which it no longer is possible to distinguish fact from fancy.

For example. Doodles denounces os a vicious canard the colorful story of how he hid under the canvas covering of a newly-completed statue all night so that, when the cord was drawn at a campus ceremony. he appeared In the arms of the statue, in his underwear, smoking a cigar.

However, he freely admits the one about how he had another student's car dismantled, and re-assembled in his room. (It almost filled the room and the poor guy slep in the back seat for a week.)

Then who popped up but Fredrick, not prof, but Goenner. Fred's from Zenda, Kansas: he says he has a charming personality not in spite of it, but because of it. Fred, shy and awfully nice, lives at Earl Frants’s and claims for his main interests wild oats and praying.

Then sweet and friendly from Adel, Iowa, is Eleanor Stein. Eleanor likes drawing and Arnold Hall, where she lives.

Oh. and let's not forget Gilford Ikenberry, Gilford is one in a million. (Thank heavens). He hails from Stillwater, Oooookla-homa where the wind comes sweeping o'er the plain. Pardon me, but I was in Wichita and I get carried away easily, which is

the study of etymology. He is also a serious student of all comedians, past and present. One of the greatest pantomine artists since Chaplin, he can get a terrific laugh just by absent-mindedly picking up the cord on the microphone and inquiring. "Oh—a wire for me?"

He gets two fat paychecks every week—one from the airshow, the other from his personal appearances with Spike. He has them spread over 12 months, so he can enjoy the off-seasons without having the feeling that he ought to be working.

Crazy? If Doodles is crazy, a lot of comics around the country would like to know how he got that way. But still he's worried. -

"Tell 'em about my Phi Beta Kappa key from Stanford,” he says, "and use my full name. It might add some dignity.”

Okay, he asked for it. His full name: Winstead Sheffield Glen-denning Dixon Weaver!

Tonight at 8:00 p. m.. the Mc-Pherson College Bulldogs will tangle with the Baker University Wildcats on the College stadium field for the opening home game of the season.

Last year at Baker the Bulldogs were edged by a score of 7-6 but were outweighed almost twenty pounds per man.

Baker dropped its season opener to Southwestern College at Winfield by a score of 27-6 while the Canines were 12-6 losers to Sterling College.

The Dogs came out of the Sterling game with minor injuries, but not enough to keep anyone from seeing action against Baker. There have been a few pulled muscles, bruises, minor ailments, but the over-all picture is good.

Coach Spear of the Wildcats will have seventeen lettermen on his squad with a good deal of experience. Spear, with a squad of 84, will bring about 30 men to McPherson. Both teams will be looking for their first victory of the season.

A definite starting lineup has not been announced but here is a probable line-up:

Wolf, le; Reinecker, it; Stevens, lg; Reed c: Tillman, rg; Flory rt; Blickenstaff, re; Fisher, q; Arnold, ih: Sullivan rh, Delay, fb.

“One Dollar to the best percentage each week." Last week's Score-A-Log games will be played tomorrow and the results will be posted next week. The games listed below will be played October 9 and the results will be posted in the Spectator the week after.

No matter what effect the pure egoist has upon others, he always fascinates himself.

Last Saturday afternoon the Bulldogs were defeated in their opening game at Sterling by a store of 12-0.

Fumbling and blocked punts told the story for the Canines as Sterling cashed in for the twelve points. During the first quarter, two blocked punts resulted in six of the points, while a fumble in the second quarter set up the second and final score.

The Dogs showed up better defensively than they did offensively. Blocking and tackling showed up poorly. Probably the outstanding star, defensively for the Bull-

dogs was Vernon Blickenstaff, who caught several passes. Delay, Unruh, and Arnold also showed up well for the Dogs.

There Is very much interest being shown in the softball club this year. On September 22. thirteen girls came out to join in the fun. The girls who participated were Arlene Mohler, Esther Mohler, Mary Jo Christy, Pat Gentry, Patty Barnett, Lois Col-berg, Marianna Stinette, Donna Johnson, Joyce Harden, Betty Redinger, Betty Hanagarne, Louise Johnson, and Haxel Hornbak-er.

The W. A. A. extends the invitation to all girls to come out and be placed on a team.

By the time we are ready to admit we have reached middle age. we are somewhat older than that.

One season a locker-room debate developed among the University of Michigan squad. The argument had to do with which position was most important.

Each player apparently suffered the firm conviction that his position was the most essential. Each pl8yer. that is. but Bob In-gals. a center who was very quiet and had been listening for days to the hot debate.

At scrimmage one day, the quarter-back called for one of the super-deluxe, razzle-dazzle plays which promised a touchdown. The team lined up. the shift took place—but no ball came from the center! Ingals wheeled around, sat down on the ball, glared smugly at the ten confused players and drawled:

Captain John Goldsberry of Indiana University tells this story on Howard Brown, a guard.

Brown failed to get on his feet after a play in an Indiana-Nebras-ka game and Goldsberry rushed over to him.

Finally Brown opened his eyes and said "Yeah. I'm okay. John, but how is the crowd taking it?"

Adds Goldsberry': "There really wasn't anything wrong with him. All he did was get up, put his headgear on backward and ask, 'Which way did they go?' "

It's not his ability to kick, but his ability to pull that makes the mule such a valuable animal.

Dorothy Shay's billing, the "Park Avenue Hlllbillle.” is a Cinderella story in itself—and Dottle has a real life story to match.

Not so many years ago, she was singing for 25 dollars a week in a night club in.her home town of Jacksonville, Florida; now she's co-starred with Spike Jones every Friday night on the coast-to-coast CBS show. "Spotlight Revue."

The first time she tried Hollywood, she sang at a bowling alley, mostly for tips; on her most recent visit, she packed the swank Cocoa-nut Grove every night for four weeks, smashing the all-time record there and averaging $4,000 a week as her share, under a percentage arangement.

In 1944, a well-known network executive said, "Dorothy Shay— never heard of her,” when she tried to get a Job; in 1947, an Associated Press Editor’s poll named her "Woman of the Year" in radio, and enthusiastic members of he national fan club. "Shay's Shadows." staged a small riot wherever she appeared.

Actually, the "Park Avenue Hillbillie" is neither a hillbilly nor from Park Avenue, but the tag fits anyway. It fits her style, if not her life.

Dorothy Shay (originally. Dorothy Sims) is Just a small town girl who hit the big-time singing mountain songs to the city folks. Only they're not Just ordinary mountain songs.

"This gal." said Spike Jones the first time he heard her, "Is a cross between Noel Coward and Burl Ives. Besides that.” he added, "she can sing."

As for her remarkable vocal technique. Dorothy explains: "Mother teaches me the correct way. and I mess it up a little to make it popular." Her mother. Frances Sims—an ex-operatic contralto — travels everywhere with her. serving as vocal coach, social secretary, and companion.

Like the love-lorn fountain girls of whom she sings, she is unmarried, being apparently more interested in her career than la her numerous admirers.

The question most frequently asked of Dorothy is, "Where do you get these wonderful songs?" it is asked admiringly by her fans and enviously by her fellow per-formers in the radio and night club business, who know there Is nothing so rare in Tin Pan Alley as a really good novelty number.

Ten of the best numbers in her repertoire are Dorothy Shay orig-inals—ranging from the hilarious “Efficiency," a rollicking lampoon of the machine-age as seen through the eyes of a mountain gal who comes to the city to work in a factory, to the hauntingly beautiful "He's The One," a simple, sentimental ballad which strikes home with double impact by reason of its contrast with her usual comedy style.

"I can't resist doing a straight one now and then," she explains, "like the clown who wants to play Hamlet."

She has sung "Feudin' A-Fight-in' and A-Fussin' ” 1800 times and got so weary of answering requests for it that she composed an extra erse to help break the monotony. But no matter how many times she sings it, it always has the same boisterous enthusiasm because Dorothy can’t help giving her best anytime more than two people are listening.

There wasn't any accident about her getting into show business. She began day dreaming about the stage and Hollywood, even before she earned the title "most witty member of her class" as a high school student in Jacksonville.

There wasn't any accident, either, in the chain of circumstances which finally landed her a New York hotel super club engagement as a straight ballad singer.

But right there, old Lady Luck —or Fate—stepped in. She isn't sure yet what unpredictable impulse prompted to answer a call for an encore by doing "Uncle Fud."

She had learned "Uncle Fud" from a piano player in Santa Monica. California, and it never had been sung In New York before. It had never been sung anywhere as she sang It. Bathed in the light of an amber spot, the slender, beautifully groomed and exquisitely gowned Dorothy—looking like an ad out of Harper's Bazaar—Bud-denly struck the awkward pose of a mountain girl, heels akimboo, and began to sing:

The sophisticated New York audience loved it. They demanded encore after encore, beating time on their tables while Dorothy sang.

Right then and there Dorothy Shay recognized her particular niche—and a star was born.
