Junior Class Again Wins Debate Championship
The interclass debate finale were held last Tuesday night with the freshman team. Lorene Clark and Donovan Speaker, debating against the junior team, Helen Stover and Le Roy Doty.
The debate was a runoff of the winners of two weeks ago when it was freshmen versus sophomores, and juniors versus seniors.
The question is, resolved: that the Federal Government should adopt a policy of equalizing educational opportunities in tax supported schools by means of annual grants. It promises to be a subject that considerable research can be done in.
The final vote of the judges was a split vote. Two voted in favor of the affirmative and out voted in favor of the negative. This shows that the debate was a close one with good points for both sides.

Freshmen Finish Orientation Classes
November 3 will be the last orientation meeting for the freshmen. It has been a series of meetings every Monday and Wednesday at the 11:20 hour.
Panel discussions have been presented to the freshmen on various subjects such as: how to use lime, how to spend money, and social activities. These have been great helps to many of the students.
Tests Are Given
A series of tests have been, given. The first of these was a college interest examination, prepared by the American Council on Education. It is a psychological exam on which a lot of work has been put forth. This examination has been given to college students for more than twenty-five years. The purpose of this test is to discover if students are able to get along with college work. It has been scored and sent to the American Council of Education for checking.
Doctor Fee gave a personality, test of maladjustment inventory. This test depended upon the person's own answer, and it tries to indicate whether the person is well adjusted in his home and emotions. Doctor Fee is having conferences with the students concerning this test now.
The Wren Study Inventory was prepared in the University of Minnesota, and it asks questions about the student's study habits. If the student made lower than fifteen on this test, he should he concerned and seek help in regulating his time for study. A large number of the freshman class was under fifteen.
The interest inventory concerns occupations and vocations. The questions on this test are what students like best to do and what they like least to do. It is to help find the fields they should be interested in entering.
These discussions and tests have been a great help to many of the freshmen and it is with regret to many that they end.

Mac Students Attend Kansas Church Meeting
Last week end McPherson College was well represented at the district meeting of the Church of the Brethren of southeast Kansas at Madison.
Miss Neher, housemother or Arnold Hall, took Esther and Arlene Mohler and Louise Reed with her. Miss Neher met her mother at the conference and spent the week end with her.
Mr. and Mrs. Don Stern, Irven Stern, Pattie Bittinger, and Mr. Ira Brammell were also in attendance at the conference.
The recently sponsored Spectator poll gave Thomas E. Dewey, the Republican candidate for president, an overwhelming vote over his other opponents. Candidate Dewey received 173 votes which was far more than any of the other candidates.
President Truman trailed behind progressive party man Henry A. Wallace, by eleven votes. Mr. Truman received only thirty-eight votes while Mr. Wallace received forty-nine.
Other men who were in the running were Norman Thomas who received three votes. Harold Stas-sen, one vote.
The wets were handed a heavy defeat when the drys carried the election by more than 165 votes. The drys received 220 votes while the wets received only a paltry fifty-five.
On the presidential issue there were twenty-three people who had no opinion while on the wet-dry issue there were only thirteen.
Several students evidently had a sense of humor since one wrote in the name of Mickey Mouse for president. Also mentioned as presidential timber was Clarence McConkey, Mac College Senior.
This poll would tend to show that Mac College students are following along the traditional Kansas method of voting, that being Republican and for prohibition.
Harry "Knapp’s Oration Appears In “Messenger”
Harry Knapp, sophomore, who last year won the local prohibition contest, had the honor of having his oration printed in the October 23rd issue of the Gospel Messenger.
Mr. Knapp's oration was entitled "The Destroyer of the Temple.” and although he did not make-the state contest which was held later, he received favorable comments.
The Gospel Messenger, the of-ficial organ of the Church of the Brethren, stated that Mr. Knapp had won the state contest. However, according to records in the speech department, Mr. Knapp won only the local contest.
Professor Hess reiterated that the time is drawing near for the next contest of this type and that all interested should be thinking about the questions involved.
Ho soft-soaped her until she couldn't see for the suds.
Vote Next Tuesday!
The Quadrangle staff deserves and is asking for the cooperation of you students in making this year's annual what you have demanded in years past.
Last year when the Quads were distributed, criticisms were flung at the editors from all directions. Everyone seemed to want more informal snapshots.
The Quadrangle staff this year, with the idea in mind to please more students, has arranged the layout so that numerous amateur snapshots might be included. This fact has been publicized several times on the bulletin board and in the Spectator.
But have the students come around with any photographs? No, there has been practically no turn-out of pictures. We of the student body will be the ones who deserve to be griped about if there are not enough snaps in the Quad to suit our tastes. It will be our fault because we have not given our share. If we want to get anything out of the publications, we must put something into them.
Remember, the Quadrangle this year will possess a considerable portion which will be devoted to student snapshots. We students must submit our pictures of the various phases of campus life, in order to supplement the professional pictures which the staff is preparing.
Let's all cooperate with the Quadrangle staff.
Many persons in the student body of McPherson College evidently are suffering under the misconception that only those persons listed in the Spectator staff (as we print it on page 2) may turn in material for the paper.
I would like to clear you up on this point. The Spectator is a student publication. Since that is true, any student may submit items for publication. This practice is here and now encouraged by the Spec staff.
One of the goals towards which I am striving in the Spectator this semester is to print a variety of material and present a more cosmopolitan view of campus life. To accomplish this necessitates not only a wide-awake few, but in addition it requires the aid of several reporters, writing material. Persons may submit articles for publication without being required to continue writing regularly. I would like to encourage persons to write up articles spontaneously, when the “lightning strikes them," so to speak.
There are other realms in which you students may-help us. You may give us your suggestions. For editorials, for example, it is sometimes difficult to think of subjects about which to write comments. I always welcome suggestions and-constractive criticisms!- These hints help us wherein our foresight fails us.
If any of you students compose an article you desire to be published in your school newspaper, the editorial staff will be glad to consider its printing, on its submission to us.
Once again, I ask you to help us make the Spectator your paper. Give us whatever you have. The writing staff can never become too large.

Address All Correspondence to THE SPECTATOR McPherson, Kansas
McPherson College is a relatively small school, but it is not so diminutive that each student knows every other person. Moreover, students cannot remember the addresses of everyone else in the student body.-
For these reasons, the Spectator will publish, for your convenience, a McPherson College student directory. This data will be printed in several successive issues of the paper. If students and subscribers will save these issues, they will have accumulated for their own use a complete student directory.
For this week's Student Directory. The Spectator prints for you the names and addresses of the class of ’49, this years senior class.

DODGE Thou Hast;
To DODGE Thou Wilt Return
Doc Metzler at last has "that new car."
It seems that when the Metzlers went down to the DODGEing dealer to pick up the car a baby seat was included. Mrs. Metzler was especially alarmed. Then Dr. Metz-ler, quickly taking full charge of the situation, explained that they really had no need for a car baby seat, as David had grown some
since the car was ordered.
The flivver in question was acquired by McPherson's illustrious philosophy and religion professor last Saturday. The blue Fordor 1948 Dodge sedan outshines the black 1932 Dodge slightly.
It must be wonderful to be a teacher. First Hess’s new Chevrolet, then Crabb’s Buick, and now Metzler's new Dodge.

Collegian Column
The men of Midland College have started a major revolt against all "Pants-wearing, cigarettesmoking, bottle-toting females."
What with jeans and Luckies, the men claim trouble in distinguishing the sexes on campus: so to protect themselves from being mistaken from the "fairer sex" they have laid aside the razor.
Those holding out until Thanksgiving will be admitted to the order of the Ticklish Turkey; those who stay with it until Christmas will be designated Sons of Santa: and any whose courage and whiskers hold out until Easter will reach the highest order, that of the Bearded Bunnies.
With a national election but a few days away, Manchester College has become Infatuated with speeches, promises, and the usual “glub” that one associates with "big time politics." However "the President of the United States" whom they will elect will be a Manchester student.
The junior-class-sponsored, allschool election (mock, that is) has a nominee from each class.
Two of the nominees are well known around McPherson. From the sophomore class is Ted Chambers. who was on campus last year for Regional Conference, and was also in the peace caravan: the freshman nominee is Leroy Brubaker from Elgin.
The new Boys’ dormitory at La Verne College was officially opened last week. Named for the head custodian, Isaac Woody, the dorm was completed in a lit-tle less than five months.
A dorm council has already been elected, and open house was set for October 17.
This is a mile-stone in Brethren education as La Verne was the only Brethren school without a boys’ dorm.

Christmas Greeting
This week we’d like to spotlight the especially printed Christmas greeting. It is published by the Brethren Service Commission of the General Brotherhood Board of the Church. All proceeds from the sale of this card are to go directly for relief purposes. The card is attractively printed in blue on white, and the verse is especially appropriate since it richly conveys the Christ-mas message of peace. In quantities of more than five, the card sells for only five cents per card.
Why don’t you stop in to see this card? It will be a good time to get acquainted—and we’ll be glad to take your order.
Bloomington, Ind. (ACP) — The college male has broad shoulders, a narrow waist and big feet according to the military department at Indiana University. R. O.
T. C. uniforms ordered according to army tariff sizes did not fit; the supply department was flooded with too many requests for 9 to 14 1/2 shoe sizes; 400 cadets are without pants; there were too many cadets with 29 to 31-inch waistlines and not enough 41’s; approximately 300 blouses are also on re-order.
The supply officer explained that the new uniforms were originally for officers and the boys just ’have not filed out yet.” The military custodian has one consolation—the neckties are fine.

"Character Education on Mac Campus" was the topic for discussion by the McPherson College faculty Monday evening, October 25.
Dr. Bechtel was the chairman of a panel which presented problems, ideals and courses of action. The other members of the panel were Miss Neher, Mr. Wareham, Dr. Metzler, Dean Warren, and Prof. Flory.
After the discussion period, the faculty adjourned to the Dog House and were joined by faculty wives for a Dutch treat.
It seems that Mac has several devout music lovers, mainly Bill Daggett, Winston Bowman, and Arlyn Heusinkveld who with dates took in the recent Lawrence Mel-choir concert in Wichita.
Tomorrow night the McPher-non College Bulldogs travel to Newton where they will play Bob Tully's Bethel Graymaroons in their fifth conference game of the year.
Last year the Bulldogs were edged at their Homecoming game 14-13 by Bethel.
This game will decide which team escapes the cellar as far as the Kansas Conference this year in concerned as each school has lost all its conference games up to tomorrow night's game.
The Bulldog's "B" team went to Bethel last Tuesday to be beaten 25-0. Two weeks before the Bethel "B” team came to McPherson and was beaten 8-0.
If comparative scores are any indication of strength, then the two teams are of about equal strength.
HERE'S ONE GAME FOR THE BULLDOGS!!

Knute Rockne' always had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, to win football games, and always knew how to inspire his players to greatness.
Once Notre Dame played a tough Georgia Tech team. At the half, the Fighting Irish were behind in the score. In the locker rooms, Rockne faced his players and began to read to them telegrams from former Notre Dame players. Then he sort of choked up and said:
"Here's one from my six-year old son. It says: 'I want daddy's team to win.' "
Rock's voice broke at this point and he wiped his eyes. "Boys, that youngster of mine is lying on a hospital cot back in South Bend now, a mighty sick boy. I’ve promised to bring him the Georgia Tech football as a present. Are you men going to let the kid down?"
The Notre Dame players took a terrific pounding that day to pull the game out of the fire and win it for Rockne's little sick boy. And as they walked off the field, tired and weary, who should meet them but a perfectly healthy six-year-old youngster waving a Notre Dame banner and yelling:
"My pop’s team won! Hooray! My pop’s team won."
It was Knute Rockne's supposed-to-be little sick boy.
Another trip away from home brought another loss for McPherson. This time the Bulldogs suffered defeat at the hands of Ottawa University on Ottawa's playing field.
McPherson showed plenty of spirit but was far outclassed by a much superior Ottawa football club.
Three times McPherson was in Ottawa's danger zone but through lack of experience. Mac lost the ball, Don Batson, who looked good for the first time this year, threw several beautiful touchdown passes, which were dropped by green freshman players.
As a whole the McPherson football team looked better than usual. "Sen Dog" Tillman who made honorable mention last year and who has been out with a bad leg, started at guard
Don Stevens who started the season as a guard and who also has been laid up with a leg injury played quite a bit at both guard and tackle in this game.
Kenny Newport showed up well at safety position as his tackling ability saved many a touchdown run. Bob Anderson, who replaced Don Reed at center due to sickness, showed strong defensive ability. West, a regular starter, played his usual game. Arnold also played.
The team left for Ottawa on a Santa Fe bus about 1:00 p. m. The trip took little more than three hours. The team ate at the American Hotel, the same hotel at which they slept after the game.
When asked what he did at Ottawa one of the players said. We arrived in Ottawa and saw truly neat school. We were shown around part of the campus, and saw their new gym along with other buildings. I was really fascinated by their campus, but feel the atmosphere around McPherson College has ’em beat.”
The team played ball at eight and was thoroughly trounced 470. After the game they ate a wonderful steak dinner at the hotel.
Seven in the morning came very early for most of the fellows, but that was the time at which they had to get up. A short breakfast followed by a long trip on the bus back to McPherson completed the trip.
Coach Ray Hahn's Bethany College Swedes will have an opportunity tonight at Lindsborg to smash the recent monopoly of Ottawa's Braves on Kansas Conference Ath-letic titles.
Ottawa, who defeated McPherson last week 47-0, has three conference victory’s, while the Swedes edged past C. of E. last week 1413.
Should Bethany defeat Ottawa, the Swedes will be able to hoist the pennant the following week by beating the cellar-dwelling McPherson College Bulldogs.
The other Conference games this week are; College of Emporia and Kansas Wesleyan, at Salina; and McPherson and Bethel at Newton Saturday night: and Baker and William Jewel at Liberty. Mo.
Baker walloped Bethel 43-0 last Saturday in a conference game.
Duane and Elven Ramsey are good entertainers. Recently they fried bacon and eggs for Don Keim, John Firestone, Ted Gei-sert, and Max McAuley. All involved agreed that Duane and Elven can and do spread a good table. -
The Michigan Wolverines, elevated to No. 1 spot last week in the Associated poll. Justified their position by overwhelming Minnesota last Saturday 27-14. They are virtually "in" as big nine champions.
Since Michigan cannot return to the Rose Bowl. Northwestern appears to be the most likely candidate on the basis of Its 19-16 victory over Minnesota. California appears to get the nod as for as the other team in the Rose Bowl is concerned in that they smashed Washington 21-0, although Oregon still figures a likely candidate.
Down in Dixie, unbeaten and untied North Carolina and Georgia Tech are bidding for positions in the Sugar. Cotton, or Orange Bowl and run into stiff opposition. N. C. plays stubborn Tennessee while Tech plays an undefeated Duke team.
The Southwest feature Is Southern Methodist against Texas at Austin. The victor here would well land in the Cotton Bowl.
The nine teams left in the major ranks without defeat or tie are Michigan, Notre Dame, North Car-olina, Georgia Tech, Clemson, Army, Pennsylvania, California, and Nevada.
Of these Michigan, Army, and Notre Dame are not Bowl contenders and Pennsylvania is not too receptive to Bowl bids.
Just before the game we all gathered around our coach, Mr. Fisher. There was silence, except for a few hundred specators clapping. Gee, we were excited; so was the coach. He said. "Fellows I want you to get out there and fight," so we did. Our strategy was to keep the ball moving which they did very well, that is the other team.
A handsome fellow by the name of Dave Messier started at forward along with cute Harold Smith. At guards we had a brute by the name of Lindberg, also a guy named Powell. On the bench we had McCollum and Speaker. And of course yours truly was in at center.
“Are you ready?" The whistle blew and up went the ball, and I tipped to Lindberg for the first two points.
After that it settled down to a battle of who was going to shoot on the other team.
At the half, the score was 10 to 4, in favor of the Kansas City Bulldozers.
At the end of the game the score was 25 to 6. but we felt satisfied that the score wasn't more lopsided. The Bulldozers told us it was perhaps the best competition they had run up against.
Lindberg was high scorer for the Bulldogs with four points, and I scored two. Only two fouls were called on us, both on Powell.
The Bulldozers were very serious about their game, and there is really more to wheel chair basketball than can be noticed from the grandstand. It is a game of much skill, if it is played well.
All the credit for the Bulldogs' fine play goes to Coach Fisher.
