The Administration committee, in compliance with the desires of the students, has consented to an extra day of Thanksgiving vacation.

Instead of dismissing school Wednesday, Nov. 22 at 4 p. m. and convening classes Friday morning, at 8; vacation will begin Wednesday at 4 and classes will not convene until Monday, Nov. 27 at 8 a. m.

Since Friday's classes must be made up, to conform to the schedule, three periods will be run Monday, Dec. 4 from 3:055:55; and two periods Tuesday, Dec. 5 from 3:05-4:10.

A .petition was originally signed by students asking that the Administration allow classes to be held on Thursday and that Friday be designated as a vacation day. In order to permit students to go home daring the weekend.

However, since many families like to be together on Thanksgiving day, it was decided to dismiss classes both days; with Friday's classes meeting at a future date.

‘Linds-Burger’ Wins First In Parade

First prize in the annual Homecoming parade went to the alumni for their "Linds-burger." Second place decisions were awarded to the M Club for their hone-crusher float; and third prize was given to the UNESCO organization for theirs on which several of the international students rode.

"We protect our ego. but sooner or later everyone faces a time in life when power and prestige which he once had begin to ebb away. Self-promotion comes to a dead-end street. We need to struggle to be intellectually honest."

The Student Council has almost finished the parking lot which is located Just west of the physical education building. They plan to have yellow lines painted and traffic signs put up.

The purpose of this project is to relieve the congestion of cars which is usually in front of Sharp Hall. The new parking lot will accommodate from 60 to 75 cars.

Among other new Improvements is the north wing on Frantz Industrial Arts Building. This was started about the time that school started and is to be finished by cold weather. Prof. S. M. Dell states that he hopes It will be ready for use by the second semester. At the present time not much is being done on Frantz Hall because the workers are putting the roof on the new library addition. It is hoped that the latter will also be finished this fall.

The old part of the library is to be remodeled also but that will not be started until the new part is almost finished.

No date has been set for the completion of the work on the library, but metal stacks for the second floor of the fireproof brick and concrete addition have been ordered and will be Installed before changes are made In the present structure.

Remodeling plans call for new ceilings to replace the present metal ones, a new front entrance on the ground level, a work room and an office on the west side of the main floor, new flooring to replace the tile in the lobby, the refinishing of the present first floor stacks and magazine rooms for study rooms, and a new front stairway.

Miss Harris said that she plans to have the library open during the remodeling although service may be curtailed somewhat while changes are being made in the old part of the structure which was erected in 1906 with a grant of money from Andrew Carnegie.

Pre-Enrollment Due

Students are working on their pre-enrollment for second semester. Those who have not yet completed their enrolling should see their counsellor and make arrangements for a conference time, according to the Dean and Registrar.

The dead-line for enrollments is Dec. 4. If possible this should be done before Thanksgiving vacation so the teachers will have time to schedule' their classes and order books.

It’s nearly a week before Thanksgiving day but since there’-be no paper next week we’ll give thanks six days early.

Contrary to the inference of the preceding statement. Thanksgiving should really be a permanent condition of the mind, not a 12-24 hour state of the dining room ta-ble along about Nov. 23.

Make no mistake about it, I’m plenty happy to see the gobbler and pumpkin pies, but when all Is said and done, the game is up. and we're ready either to graduate or die, we can't take even the bones or crust with us. Therefore. It might be well to base our heavenly commendations on things more stable.

Seriously, genuine thankfulness

is a quality sadly lacking in most of our lives. As long as the showers of blessing continue to fall on us we forget that someone else's particular niche and corner may be woefully dry. Not because of partiality on the part of God hut because of certain often unknown factors.

We don’t know how really luc-ky and fortunate we are to bo attending MC, to he working, playing, and sharing with students from all over the United States, as well as other countries.

It’s a good thing to express our appreciation to the Almighty and our friends every day by word or action, not just on the fourth Thursday In November.

Dr. Hamilton of N. Y University named six assets which have accrued to our age because of the Protestant Reformation.

1. The Reformation gave the world a new definition of vocation. In earlier days the only recognized vocation was the priest- hood and activities related to it. The Reformation redefined vocation as any work to which God called one.

2. This new age also gave rise to the middle class. The ruling class and the slave class gave place to an inclusive middle group, all of whom enjoyed the good things of life, and shared in the responsibilities of the world.

3. A third product of the reformation, according to Dr. Hamilton, is capitalism, with its aggressive development of natural resources.

4. Another product of the movement is democracy, in which all the citizens share the responsible, ities of government.

5. He suggested further, that the industrial revolution with its

rise of mass production is a product of the Reformation.

0. The sixth development of the era, named by Prof. Hamilton, is public, universal, compulsory, free education, supported by taxation.

These assets are accompanied by liabilities which we need to recognize and overcome. They are:

1. Deep cleavages through ail society which divides humanity ip-to antagonistic camps.

2. Because of these cleavages there is widespread feelings of hostility because of economic, religious, or political viewpoints.

3. Another liability is emotional aloneness, or spiritual isolation. People live close together but of-ten do not know each other. They need to be drawn into the warm fellowship of Christian home and Christian Church.

4. A fourth fault of our age is anxiety. The crying need is faith in God through Christ our Lord.

5. A fifth ailment is compensation. Having made a failure of life many people try to compensate for their feeling of inadequacy by bluff or show.

6. Escape is the final ambition of those who fail. This may find expression in strange religious experiences, or alcoholic or sexual indulgences.

The only answer to these problems is found in Christ.

Korean Lecturer Says Love Is World’s Solution For Problems

"We must give bread plus If we wish to stop Communism," stated Mrs. Induk Pahk, Korean lecturer. In an address to Macollege students, Thursday, Nov. 9. She cited Christianity and the force of rove as the answer to our world problems.

"The forces which have been working in our people have not always been quite right," Mrs. Pahk said about her fellow Koreans. She stated that the character of the 30 million Koreans is a combination of Chinese stubborness and Japanese nervousness, a mixture of the Confucian respect for the past and the Buddhist regard for life after death.

Mrs. Pahk pointed with pride to the accomplishments of her people—the first printing press, the earliest modern phonetic language, and others.

Mrs. Pahk discussed the background of the present Korean crisis. "Korea is the living symbol of all of Asia’s trouble. It is just coming out of the feudalists stage. The Koreans are hungry. The Communists have been preparing for this condition 25 to 35 years. All of the non-communist nations were too confident after the war; they were asleep.

"Democracy suits our temperament and helps our people come out of their depression." Mrs. Pahk said. She voiced her hope and faith that .Communism might be checked in her country.

Induk Pahk works with the United' States State Department in pending "The Voice of America” to Korea. She also works with the United Nations. The Kansas Institute of International Relations brought her to the campus. .

KKK’s Burn Cross At Texas School

Students at the University of Texas had plenty to talk about last week when a cross was burned in front of the Texas law building and ”KKK'” painted around the walls.

People were quick to connect this incident with the admission of Herman Sweatt and other Negro students into the University law school. The Daily Texas’s strong ediorial criticism of the incident resulted in a letter to the editor threatening another cross burning—this time in front of the journalism building.

In commenting on the incident, the Champus Chat, school newspaper at North Texas State College, said, “Austin is supposed to be one of the state’s liberal centers. And the University is allegedly a great force in the progressive movement. If this is an example of a more liberal community’s reaction to the breaking down of segregation, it is not difficult to calculate what would happen in smaller colleges.’’

Thursday. He was rather stubborn though, and presisted in only sitting in the girls’ lounge in his football suit. Perhaps you’ve guess-ed.. .yes,, he was The Swede. But like all good Swedes, he met a sad ending. He was hurt so badly by the prospect of McPherson winning her Homecoming game, that we had to cremate him Thursday night. Oh, well. .. ! ! !

A birthday party was held in the home of Geneva Krehbiel in honor of Geneva and Donna Sooby. Donna took her Whoopee and transported the guests out to Geneva’s home. They took the wrong road, however, and wandered around for half an hour before finally finding their destination. Those present were Anita Rogers, Rita Ellen Royer, Jo Ann Royer, Donna Wagoner, Barbara Berry. Mildred Beck, the parents of Geneva, and the guests of honor,'Geneva and Donna Lou.

Refreshments consisted of homemade ice cream, birthday cake and pie. The girls sang songs and Mildred played the piano. The best entertainment was merely sitting and giggling.

The Dog House gave a party Monday night in honor of Donna Sooby. Those there were members the Dog House Staff. They were Don West. Rita Royer, Geneva Krehbiel, Anita Rogers, Barbara Berry, Elsie Kindley, Gordon Fish-burn, Kathiyn Larson, Bob Wilson, Claudia Stump and Donna Sooby. The cake was made in the shape of a dog house with a white picket fence of tiny candles around it.

Visitors on Campus the past week are too numerous to mention, but we are happy to have as our guests those who were able to come to McPherson College to visit over homecoming and Regional Conference.

We Shall Be Flying Wherever We Go

Thunderbird Field (Special) — In the future, they say. you’ll be flying to work, flying to shop, flying to social engagements.

The future has arrived for a student at Thunderbird American Institute For Foregin Trade at Phoenix. Arizona.

He’s flying to school.

Hugh L. Murrell. 29. hops every morning from Paradise Airport, where he works, to Thunderbird Field, Just outside of Phoenix.

Murrell files at dawn for the W. M. Groseclose Crop Dusting Service. The firm lets him use its plane to make classes on time.

In mid-afternoon he returns ,to Paradise to drop insecticides.

Three undefeated debate teams, an energetic Macollege senior, an intelligent college professor, a perfect Nash, and a gas-filled college car left the campus at 5:47 a. m., Saturday. Nov. 11. The group returned after 9 p. m. that evening from Kansas State College in Manhattan; however, the adjectives and one of the notorious freshmen were lost somewhere along the way.

The day was spent debating teams from Kansas. Oklahoma, and Nebraska. The Macollege beginning debaters won only two of

Women Debate Value In Taking Homemaking

New Brunswick, N. J—(I. P.) —The hotly-debated question of whether "Homemaking” courses should be taken in college received a split decision recently at New Jersey College for Women. The question. "Do you feel you should have taken courses in homemaking while you were in college?" was put to 230 graduates from the classes of 1925 and 1945.

Although more than nalf of the '25ers answered the question in the affirmative. 53 percent of the replies from the 1945 class were negative. This would seem to indicate that the more recent graduates have not yet felt the need or else have discovered other means of satisfying it.

Supporters of "homemaklng” education for women came out strongly in favor of their cause. "Marriage is the most natural career for a girl yet we give little time to its study." said one. "College, of course, broadens our horizons. and as such, gives us a better chance to make a success of marriage—but let's give future generations some of the short cuts."

Another felt that "colleges in general are falling to prepare one for an all-around good married life by not offering more of such courses."

On the other hand, alumnae opposed to "homemaking" courses had this to say: "A liberal arts

course should not be crowded with homemaking courses. A bride will learn to cook when she has to, but if she doesn't take political science and French or music in col-lege, she may never learn it."

Last Friday night four girls enjoyed a slumber party; they reported that they ate, talked and even slept a few hours. They were Donna Wagon, June Blough, Dorothy Swinger and Elsie Kind-ley.

Lois Yoder, Jerry Neher, Doris Roesch and Dale Snyder had a picnic in the draw Sunday evening. The only trouble was that a football joined the party and one of the members strained herself playing football.

A unique ceremony was solemnly instigated on third floor Arnold between 10 o’clock and 10:3.0 Monday night. The serious procedure of installing the proctors for the second nine weeks took place.

The affair was quite seriously carried out to each minute detail . . .the new proctors repeated "I do" to a few major vows such as, "Do you promise to refrain from taking shelter in the nearest closet at the approach of the characteristic slither of familiar shoes belonging to House Mother?" and another. "Do you promise to prosecute only in time of dire need?” After saying the affirmative, the new proctors were then dubbed "little stinkers" wtih cheap perfume.

The retiring proctors next offered a speech after which the rest of the group stood and repeated said vow-, “We solemnly promise to promote frivolous verbosity and further pandemonium to afford the dubbed stinkers an opportunity to fill in blanks in the proctors statistical reports.

Campus cleanup went over-well even though the participants did come down with colds and pneumonia. However, the campus looked considerably better by the time the hard working students had exhausted their energies in the task of raking leaves, picking up trash and helping to make bonfires out of the raked leaves. One thing has been suggested to make the day more effective next year. The freshmen would like for the overseers of the groups to do a little work, too. On Macampus the bosses can’t loaf!

Upperclassmen have been seeing green the past week. . .at least everywhere they look, little green caps can be seen bobbing about. Freshman initiation got under way last week. Upperclassmen have been overheard saying. "I wish we’d had to wear green caps when we were freshmen.” So perhaps the upperclassmen do see green... meaning green with envy.

Funeral rites and a cremation service were held for “The Swede” near ‘the Macollege Gymnasium. Nov. 9.

"The Swede" had rested "in state" in the parlor of Arnold Hall before the funeral service. Many of his best enemies came to pay him disrepect.

Chief mourners at the funeral were the freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Services were conducted by Mr. Bob Wilson Miss Ann Carpenter, and Miss Betty Ann Murrey.

By Don Shultz

In answer to the call for men. 10 Macollege students reported for per-induction physicals at Kansas City, Mb.

So far, Robert Augsburger, Dean Coughenour, Dean Cotton, Lawrence Lowery, Joe Pate, Dale Carpenter, Vincent Chinberg, Max McAuley, Don Schultz, and Kenneth Evans have been entertained by the KCMO induction hosts.

A blind doctor checked eyes, a deaf sargent checked ears, and an envious cripple checked feet.

Two other sargents passed out mental tests. They were two question affairs asking: Do you think you will like the army? and. Don't you hate being a nasty civilian? Those who answered yes to these questions were briefed, allowed to correct their papers, and assured that they would be given every consideration when time came for induction. They need it, they're sick.

It was nice in K. C. The food was grand. The first night, everyone got steak. Steak, that’s mildewed beef passed under an infrared lamp. That isn’t to say it was rare, even if it did look like a blood transfusion.

Eighty percent of the steak-eating world call for steaks well done, 10 percent like them rare, another 10 percent like them medium. In traditional domecratic army fashion the steaks were rare, bloody is the word.

Rooms were provided in the finest hotels. One was so ritzy that the bed bugs were required to wear pajamas.

Cinderella's pumpkin was a far cry from the army transportation. Our coach waited ten minutes for the footmen to show. These buses weren't really old. Under the shiny paint, dim. dark letters formed "Remember the Maine, etc.”

They didn’t have steering wheels--the driver opened a window (this was hard to understand) and yelled "gee” or "haw” when he wanted to turn. But the drivers seemed happy. One of them had a brain concussion when he tried' to frown.

All the boys had a good time, at least the ones who were classi-fied 4 (not-acceptable-at-pres-

During the half-time at the Homecoming Game Friday evening, November 10. the Pop Club in cooperation with the band presented a drill. Clad in traditional red and white, those taking part filed onto the field and first formed a wagon wheel. The ensemble then formed a straight line before the newly-crowned queen and her attendants. While the bund played "Deep In My Heart", the group formed a heart . . . the stadium lights were turned out. and sparklers were lit at intervals around the heart. While standing thus, the performers sang the school song.

Construction plans for the proposed Winger Memorial Arts building at Manchester College have been negotiated, and actual excavation began November 13. This building, a memorial to the late Otho Winger, who was for 30 years president of Manchester College, will be a three-story brick and stone edifice which will house the music, home economics, and art departments.

The day had its experiences and highlights, however—the awakening of Akers and Pinther via a college professor, a cafeteria cook, the housemother, and a few others: Vi's surprise when he pulled out a scarf and gloves instead of a handkerchief during a speech; Bechtel and Kennedy's cheap meals; the case of the sleeping foot: McAuley's leisurely afternoon: and the lower light that didn’t burn.

There was no scoring in the third period but the Swedes made a threat as Kliewer, Macy and Ge-rard gained on running plays, fin-ally 'reaching the McPherson 19. There Bethany fumbled and Robison again recovered. McPherson ran several plays and kicked with Gene Smith’s toe sending the ball 66 yards before Bethany tried to put it into play. Hahn fumbled on the kick. Ayers recovered on the run and he in turn fumbled and Big George Keim lit on the ball to take possession for McPherson on the Bethany 40.

Four plays later, the Bulldogs bogged down on the 20 and lost the bail on downs. That ended most of the exciting play for the third quarter and left McPherson with a 19 to 7 advantage.

With but a minute or so gone in the final period. Carlson faded to pass for the Swedes and was smothered on the 5 where he fumbled and Bob Peel. Bulldog end. recovered. Eddie Ball powered to the 1 yard stripe and Dwight Mc Spadden went over to widen the Bulldog margin, to 25 to 7. Fish-burn's kick was blocked.

Frank “Chief" Hanagarne literally took “things" into his own hands late in the period as he intercepted Carlton's pass on the McPherson 44. From there Ball and Smith ran the ball to the Swede's 17. McPherson was penalized bark to the 22 and then Gene Smith, in one of the seasons most

This ended s 15 year "drouth" for the Bulldogs in this series for it was in 1935 that they beat Bethany last. That was by a 27 to 7 score.

The Swedes struck early in the first period when they made three first downs In a row on the ground to advance to the 20. Bob Gerard ran the pigskin to the three and Norman Kliewer plunged over to put the Swedes ahead. Bill Carlson’s kick was good, and Bethany led 7 to 0.

The Bulldogs came right back, however, and on the kickoff, returned the ball to their own 29. From there John Robison, Gene Smith and Bob Kerr advanced it to the Bethany 11. Two yards were lost on the next play, but the Bulldogs. not to be denied, came back ns Bob Kerr went over from the 13. Dwight McSpadden's kick was wide. Bethany received, lost the ball on downs. McPherson fumbled. and Bethany again was held and forced to kick as time ran out in the quarter with Bethany leading 7 to 6.

The second quarter found the Bulldogs moving again as Gene Smith raced from the McPherson 37 to the Bethany 45 and Bob Kerr bucking to the 30. Clipping nulified the next gain and Wayne Blickenstaff's pass to Kerr put the ball on the 3.

Sportstuff—

The Bulldogs of McPherson College are about to finish the best season for a Bulldog team since 1946. The Canines had a 4-3-2 season record in 1946 under Coach T. C. Hayden, and finished the season in fourth place in the conference.

The Bulldogs have not been an overwhelming success as far as wins are concerned but. they have not suffered any of the humiliating defeats that had characterized the Bulldogs for the past three seasons. The only time the Bulldogs were soundly beaten this year, it was by a team that made a habit of doing just that to ail of its opponents.

In the conference the Canines were outscored by only six points in all games, or an average of one point per opponent. This fact can be attributed to Coach Woodard's fast moving split-T offense, which has been a thorn in the side of every opponent this year.

This your has given the Bulldogs a firm foundation from which to spring In the years to come.

Barring depletion by the military draft the Buldogs will be lacking only one starter from this year. With only three seniors on the squad, the Bulldogs will probably be hurt less by graduation than any other Kansas Conference team. Anticipating a good crop of freshmen next fall the Bulldogs should be three or four deep with competent material at every position.

With the football season drawing to a close, attention will be shifting to basketball. Several men have been doubling up this week in football and basketball, as Coach Woody issued a call for basketball practice. Time is growing short as the Canines open the round ball sport in just 11 days on the 28th in St. Louis against the Billikens of St. Louis U.

colorful runs, weaved and wound his way through the Bethany line and secondary to score.

With seconds to play Hanagarne took another Swede pass into his arms for his second interception and raced to the Bethany 39 where he slipped and fell. McPherson fumbled and lost the ball on the 15 yard murker and that ended most of play as the game ended shortly after that.

Swan Song For Three

Three Bulldog gridders will be writing the last chapter to their football playing days tonight in the friends game.

Independence Junior College, where he won all-state honors. Joe was voted to the Kansas Conference second team last year while playing with the last place Bulldogs. Bulldog opponents will probably see fit to put big Joe on the all-conference team this year.

Joe Is one of the few members of the Bulldog team to play both offense and defense. He usually plays close to the full 60 minutes, which Is a rarity in this day of two platoon football.

Another senior Bulldog is Elvin Brown. Elvin is probably the most improved man on the squad this year. He has come from a sub center who saw little action last year to one of the better defensive linemen on the squad. Elvin can throw a mean block on offense also, as the ribs of some of the other boys will testify-

Fishburn lettered last year as a defensive half back, but has seen little action this year. All three of these men plan to stay close to the game of football however. Each of them is planning to coach, after graduation in the spring.

Baker, Ottawa Fight For Title

The thing everyone has been expecting has happened. The Kansas Conference title rests on the outcome of the Baker-Ottawa game at Ottawa tonight. These two teams go Into tonight's contest with identical 5-0 records. Ottawa is favored by many to unseat the current champion Baker. This game will finish the Kansas Conference schedule.

Kansas Wesleyan took over undisputed third place as a result of their 53-0 drubbing of lowly Bethel. and Bethany's loss to McPherson 31-7. Bethany's loss drops them to fourth in the standings.

College of Emporia and McPherson wind up in a tie for fifth place with 2-4 records. Lowly Bethel has a 0-6 record to cinch the cellar position.

The Baker-Ottawa go is the only conference game tonight. McPherson will entertain the Friends University Quakers in the Bulldog finale for this year. Wesleyan will travel to Hays to meet Ft. Hays Teachers.

After this week only one game involving a Kansas Conference member will remain. Kansas Wesleyan will meet Nebraska Wesleyan in Salina on Thanksgiving Day.

Friends University renewed intercollegiate football in 1949 and their loss to N. W. Oklahoma is the only loss they have suffered since that time. The Bulldog-Qua-ker meeting tonight will be the first meeting of these two schools in football since 1935. In the 1935 meeting the Bulldogs racked the Quakers 26-3.

McPherson and Friends have had only one common foe this year. Both clubs beat Bethel by a single point, the Bulldogs winning 20-19 and Friends winning 14-13.

Coach "Woody" Woodard has seen the Quakers in action and he reports that they compare favorably with Bethany and Kansas Wesleyan but that they probably do not have as much depth as Kansas Wesleyan.

In the eight games between McPherson and Friends, the Bulldogs have won four. Friends three, while the 1925 game ended in a draw 12-12.

The Quakers can boast of a real triple threat in quarterback Bob Hudgins. Hudgins can throw the ball a country mile If someone can get down under it. Ho can also tuck the- pigskin away and run with It. He scored three touchdowns against Dodge City Juco last week as proof of this fact.

Hudgins also does the Quaker punting. Beryl Cline, a Quaker half back, is a fast, shifty runner who will bear watching also.

Coach Woodard has been working on a defense to stop the potent Quaker offense, both in the air and on the ground. The Bulldog offense has also been in for some polishing. Besides learning some new plays, the Bulldogs have been brushing up on the old ones. The Bulldogs can boast of one of the more potent offenses in the Kansas Conference.
