Letter To Editor
Is this the way Weedy would want it?
After watching the football boys receive their much earned awards
very unpleasant thought was discussed among friends. The bo-represented on the stage, were only part of the team. The ones who received awards, but were absent, were noted, and yet some of the most important men on the team were left out. Where were these unsung heroes who rightly deserved the coveted gold football?
To some of the student body, the athletic department defeated their own end in awards. A few of the boys hot on the stage, and who did not recieve recognition, did more for the team than half the athletes in front of the curtain!
We say there should be no discrimination for the gold football award. EVERYONE on the team, whether not in school, flunked, or water boy is rightly entitled to this honor. It took everyone on the team working together with their coach to give McPherson a winning team. We don’t think you were dealing fairly.
What do you say Yoder, Hayes, and Wareham? Is the way you did it the way Woody would want it? Yours for fair recognition.
Seven Sports Fans.
Welcome young people from over our Western Region ! It is a pleasure to have you as our guests.
We hope that during the conference on our campus, you will gain inspiration from the meetings, speeches and fellowship of others.
Conferences of this sort are helpful to all of us—we come together for help, advice, and ideas of others, and go away with a feeling of satisfaction.
The conference theme. “Christ’s Way in Our Day, should be of great significance to us. From it. we should gain an insight as to how we must live in our day to be more like Christ. Christ must be our daily example.
The Youth Cabinet has planned a very, good schedule of activities—we hope you enjoy it!
Sunday marks the beginning of Religious Emphasis
Week.'
During the following week, we should be thinking of our religious virtues and goals.
What we believe and want to practice in our daily lives should be one of our main concerns. "
Regardless of our denomination, each one of us will have our own religious standards to live by—some will be high, others will be low. Whether .they be high or low, though, there is always room for improvement.
bet us take account of ourselves, not only in the following week, but always and try to point out ways of improving ourselves, always remembering to pattern our lives after Jesus.
Living With Peace Of Mind
Expose yourself to great music if you would experience the peace of soul which flows from the deeps of life Through the ages man has found music to be a source of spiritual vision and power. The ancient Psalms were aspirations set to music. Charles Wesley and John Wesley made popular the singing of hymns.
Charles Kingsley found that “there is something very wonderful in music. It speaks not to our thoughts as words do, it speaks straight to our hearts and spirits, to the very core and root of our souls.
Music soothes us, stirs us up, it puts noble feelings in us; it melts us to tears, we know not how—it is a language by itself, just as perfect, as speech, as words; just as ivine, just as blessed. Music has been called the speech of angels; I will go further and call it the speech of God Himself.”
Jean Paul Richter exclaimed: “O music, thou who bringest the receding waves of eternity nearer to the weary heart of man, as he stands upon the shores and longs to cross over, art thou the evening breeze of this life, or the morning air of the future?”
Carl Sandburg shares with us this experience: “A
man saw the whole world as a grinning skull and crossbones. The rose flesh of life shriveled from ail faces. Nothing counts. Everything is a fake. Dust to dust and ashes to ashes and then an old darkness and a useless silence. So he saw it all.
Then he went to a Mischa Elman concert. Two hours waves of sound beat on his eardrums. Music washed something or other inside him.
Music broke down and rebuilt something or other in his head and heart. He joined in five encores for the young Russian Jew and his fiddle. When he got outside, his heels hit the sidewalk in a new way. He was the same man in the same world as before. Only there was a singing fire and a climb of roses everlastingly over the world he looked on.”—Kirby Page.
Thinking With The President
Welcome to Our Campus
Young people of the Western Region we give you a hearty welcome to McPherson College campus over this weekend. We want you to feel that it is your campus also, for you are the ones who will be here in a very short time to work and play on this campus.
We "want you to look us over well. A tour of the college will be set up for you. We would like for you to visit in our dormitories, cat in our cafeteria, worship in our chapel, come to the president’s home, and in general make yourselves at home.
Do not hesitate to speak to any college student, to specially look up those from your state or district, and to ask them questions about McPherson College. If you see anyone who looks to you like he might be a professor, ask him whether he is or what he teaches. If he is not a professor he will feel complimented. and if he is a professor he will be glad to tell you anything that he knows that you arc interested in.
Our speaker for the conference. Robert Sherfy. will continue with us through next week. That is the week we call Religious Emphasis week. It is set up for the purpose of deepening and enriching our spiritual lives. We will all want to come to hear Mr. Sherfy speak in chapel on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week. Wo will also want to go each evening to the church to hear him speak there. His messages will be directed to our needs and to our interests. He is a popular speaker to young people.
In addition to this, the students here will plan to hold conferences with Reverend Sherfy. to eat with him in the dining room, and in general to have a week of pleasant and helpful fellowship with him during Religious Emphasis week.
Take Time To Pray
Martin Luther wrote: “By the grace of God I desire to lay down the rule not to speak with man until I have spoken to God: not to do anything with my hands until I have been upon my knees; not to read letters or papers until I have read something of the Holy Scriptures.”
A beginner in regular prayer-habits win find it a good idea to keep a little notebook for jotting down the excuses he offers himself for failure to observe his prayer times.
Some prefer to spend fewer minutes more often during the day in prayer and meditation. Some feel that there should be at least one ’block” of time for deeper prayer: then brief ejaculatory prayers at odd times during the day.
Remember to attend Memory Chapel at 6:45 every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
Recentering of our attention is hard. With God’s help it comes easier. Perhaps that is why prayer thinking with God—has always seemed to Christians to be the natural place for reshaping their thoughts and motives. So let’s look at some of the growth of prayer life.
In the first place, prayer takes time. Often we say we are too busy to pray. Such a statement suggests that we consider other activities of our day more important than prayer. Each person is awake almost 1.000 minutes per day. Would it bo too much to ask that one-thirtieth of that time be scheduled for fellowship with God?
Where your-treasure is. there will your heart be also. The eye the lamp of the body. So. If your eye is sound your whole body will be full of light.”—Matthew 6:21-22.
Library Suggests Lenten Readings From New Books
Books suitable for Lenten devotional reading and study of the Scriptures are among recent additions to the college library.
The Beatitudes by Hug Martin interprets this portion of Christ’s Sermon on the Mount not only from a literary and historical point of view but also from that of a spiritual and devotional study
Jesus’ Spiritual Journey and Ours by Thomas S. Kepler is based mainly on the chronology of events found in Mark's gospel.
The forty studies show Jesus in his native setting and discuss the real - life problems ho faced.

Concerning The College Cafeteria—
Students have been asking about how our cafeteria is operated.
With the cooperation of Mrs. Sli-fer. Gordon Yoder, and those who work in the cafeteria, we would like to give the student body some in formation regarding the cafeteria.
First of all, the cafeteria is self-supported. Some students take the attitude that the food is all that costs.
The following will show how the $33,654, which is the total expenditures. is distributed:
Student help: 11.2 percent.
Cooks 19 percent Food 64 percent Rent and Utilities 3.2 percent Other Expenses 1 percent Some have asked why there such a standard menu, and what the possibilites of having something new. The answer is simply this—some things can be made in your own homes very easy in small quantities, but when meals must be prepared in such large quantities, it is impossible to do so without having waste, or having added expense.
The cafeteria staff is glad to have suggestions from the students. and they will be tried, if at all reasonable. The cafeteria likes to give the student what they ask for.
If students have any questions or suggestions, we would be glad to print them, or better yet. Mrs. Slifer would be glad to have you talk them over with her. *

Hayes Will Head Spring Sports
In a talk to the athletes interested in spring sports Monday. President D. W. Bittinger announced that Prof. Guy Hayes will have charge of the spring sports program here at the college. He further stated that even though the college has a contract with ”Woody” Woodard, they are leaving it up to him to decide how much time he will be able to devote to spring sports at McPherson College. The college wants to give him every chance at success in his new job at SMU and if that means losing him to our spring sports schedule, the college is willing to sacrifice that to insure his success.
To assist Guy Hayes, the college has hired Howard Mehlinger, senior history major, who plans to go into the coaching business upon graduation from college. These two people will jointly handle the track program of the college.
The baseball and tennis teams will be handled, as in the past years by Dick Wareham and Gordon Yoder, respectively. Baseball this year has been raised to the level of an official conference sport.
