Five Africans Enroll Here At Mac


There are now five African students among the Macol-lege international family. James Craig was the first one to come over. The missionary of his village had known Dr. D. W. Bittinger, when he was a missionary in Africa, and told James that Dr. Bittinger was taking over the presidency of McPherson College. James then chose McPherson College as his college.

Isaac Grillo was the second person to come over from Africa. He and James had met once while they were still in Africa. Following Isaac came Joe Obi. Joe is married and is expecting his wife to join him next month.

On June 17 the French ship S. S. Banfora set sail from Nigeria.

Thinking With The President

Open Houses

It’s nice to have some one come to call at any time. It’s especially nice when one has bis house all cleaned up, flowers on the table, and clever ideas manifested everywhere.

We really should have open houses more thnn once a year in our dormitories and housing units. We always wonder how the others are living, what pictures they have on the walls, whether their rooms are homey and warm, or barn-like and uncozy. The personality and habits of the individual ate manifested in the room, at least to some degree.

Let’s profit from these open houses.

Let’s accept the hospitality with appreciation and let’s tell them.

The faculty would like to get in on the open house idea also. We have tried several ways; a progressive party, different faculty members accepting names alphabetically chosen, and so on. None of them work as satisfactorily as dorm open houses, because faculty homes are smaller. Would you like to come to open houses at the faculty homes? We would like to have you. Do you have any suggestions as to how we could best arrange it?—D. W. B.

Mays Speaks At Harvest Service

The Ladies Quartette and Bob Mays took part in the Harvest-Home program at Belleville, Kans., Sept. 21.

Bob Mays spoke on the subject of harvesting what is sown. He stated that first comes the decision to plant the crop, then it grows, and finally, comes the big harvest. This can be coupled with Christianity, he said. First comes the decision to accept Christ, then the growth in him. ond finally, the harvest.

An Ode To Maladjustment

(ACP) The philosophy behind this poem will be immediately apparent to the reader. Whether or not he cares to agree with it is strictly up to him. In any event, it was printed originally in the Northeastern News, Northeastern College, Mass., and we reprint it here without further comment. Now. Studious Sal from Southern Cal—

It must be admitted, was quite a gal:

She knew her math and physics, too.

And with each year her knowledge grew.

With angles obtuse and circles round,

Sal could cover academic ground. Latin. Spanish, even Greek.

Sh did a semester in less than a week.

Her marks were known throughout the school,

And Sal would never break a rule. Though promise of work was right nearby.

Down in the mud was her chance for a guy.

In social circles Sal wasn't advised,

So she went to a doc to be analyzed.

She wanted to know, and she wasn’t coy.

"Why the heck can’t I get a boy?"

"You’re terribly smart, your chem is great,"

The doc replied, "but before it’s too late.

Forget the stuff that comes in books.

And use your brains to improve your looks.

"When you are with Einstein out in space,

It’s clear you overlook your face, Instead of reading Roman tales,

Why not polish and trim your nails?

"Instead of looking for calculus

tips.

Why not paint and shape your lips? Go out of doors, acquire a tan. For after the sun will come s

man."    

So Sal did what the doctor said; Now she wishes she were dead. Although dates each night have become her rule.

Her marks dropped so low. she flunked out of school.

ors when Prof. Raymond Flory drives over from Lawrence, Kans. to teach all of his weekly classes on Wednesday.

The first class. History of the Far East, meets from 12:30 - 2:10. English History meets from 4:10-5:50, and Diplomatic History meets from 7 to 9:80.

Of course, that schedule is not too bad, but other teachers are holding classes too and many history majors are in some of those classes. In some instances, one student will have six or seven classes in one day—Wednesday!

Professor Flory holds the students responsible for the material assigned and for the week immediately preceding. He puts this procedure into effect by giving a short test at the beginning of each class. This way, the students have to reEight Classes Meet In Evening

"Thay, doth you-ums haf your lethon?" Such are the sounds that may pour forth from the lips of the students in Speech Correction. (Translation of first statement: "Say, do you have your lesson?") The class, taught by Mrs. Una Yoder. is learning how to help children who need speech correction in school and at home. The group will visit the Wichita Institute of Logopedics during this semester.

Last Wednesday a McPherson mother spoke to the class explaining what she did each day to help her two boys learn to talk correctly, and how the teachers in school could have helped their progress.

The textbook. "Speech Handicaps School Children" was written by Wendell Johnson, a former resident of McPherson.

An even dozen are enrolled in astronomy taught by Prof. Bowman. The class will study the stars and constellations and their relation to earth. They will also use the telescope to view some of the closer planets.

Prof. Metzler is teaching a class in the Life and Letters of Paul in an evening class of five women. They have begun by studying the boyhood of Paul and will trace bis life from place to place in his travels, to his death in Rome.

The Alumni Office is the scene of Jack Hough’s evening class in Guidance. The course is concerned mostly with helping others with emotional problems. A unique and perhaps happy feature of the class is no tests will be given. The students will be graded primarily on their ability to consel.

Wayne Parker is the only student in Children’s Literature taught by Miss Vancil. Wayne works 8 hours a day, is taking 15 hours of school work, drives to McPherson from Burrton every day. and practices his Children’s Literature on his small children at home. 1716 class work will include children’s poetry, fairy tales, bedtime stories, nan-fictional material, selection of children’s magazines and illustrations.

A small class In Semantics also meets in the evening. Mrs. Wettmore of Wichita teaches the class.

The evening classes are comparatively small and all of them meet on Wednesday evening. The general trend seems to be toward having a snack in the middle of class. However, Prof. Flory’s history students seem to find history is much more interesting and easier to di-

Meet A Busy Man

Johnny Mac is a popular guy. But he is also one of the busiest guys on campus. 'That cheery greeting he gives us is often forced, because he’s just plain tired.

As a freshman his classmates noted his enthusiasm and friendliness, so they elected him as class officer. He worked hard to uphold that position. He got things done. During the second semester, he was called to serve on almost every committee on which freshmen were to have a part.

Johnny Mac is now a junior and is the head of two organizations. He also carries 16 semester hours, is a member of a vocal ensemble which practices one hour every day, and plays on an intramural volleyball team.

He has been nominated for office by almost every other organization of which he is a member. He is so busy with his extra-curricular activities that he hardly has time to study. And Johnny is the kind of guy who works for A’s on his grade card.    •

Of course, we say, he didn’t have to join all of those organizations. But has it occurred to us that he might want to join a club and be just one of the members? Every-time Johnny Mac goes into an organization, the other members look at him and say, there’s a good worker; let’s put him into office.

The old adage says if you want something done, give the job to a busy man. Maybe we carry this too far. there are probably many other potential leaders in our organizations if we would just take a look around.

At one of our sister colleges a student may serve on as many committees as he wishes, but may hold only one head office.

Maybe we could help Johnny Mac a little. When we hear his name nominated for another office, maybe we should stop to enumerate jobs he already has. Maybe we should vote for another nominee. I don’t think he would mind.—L. M.

The first gome of the season really came off with a bang. Except perhaps, when the freshmen know the yells, there will be more noise from Macollege kids. The cheerleaders had a time getting the crowd to stand up for kick-off's, but after the tenth one, most people would get tired of getting up.

Kline Hall gals certainly had some clever Ideas for Open House. Didn’t you like the "blue room?” The international students had an excellent program last Monday. James Craig is catching up on his American slang.

Karl Dalke. football manager of the team, took Jonas Unruh home with him to Lehigh. Kans. They said they caught up on sleep.

Friday night Stanley McClung and Joan McRoberts doubled with Glenn Gayer and Lorceen Cline to the game. Then Sunday. Loreen spent dinner and part of the afternoon at Glenn’s home here in Mac.

Do you remember that cute little gal that's been going around with Don Fike? Well, she and JoAnn Bowman left for Chicago, where they'll don the white outfits traditional of nurses.

Did anyone see a wistful-eyed blond-headed guy sitting on the football sidelines Friday—name of Don Hoch? Just a few more weeks Don. and you’ll be out there! Cheer up, boy.

A group of guys went to Lawrence Saturday afternoon to see the KU vs. TCU gome. Those going were:    John    Robison. Jack

Richardson. Ed Ball, Dick Mason, Stan McClung. Paul Heidebrecht, Dwight McSpadden, Tom Taylor, Gene Smith, and Keith Rickner.

Last weekend Wayne Jones went home with Bob Wilson to Conway Springs. He said they worked on his car.    

Roy Wilson. Bob’s younger brother, was here on Monday. He is stationed at Williams Air Base in Phoenix, Arlz.

Ann Carpenter celebrated her birthday last evening with a cake with 21 candles on it. She’s eligible to vote, now. Guests were Marilee Grove. Phyllis Beam. Beverly Turner. Peggy Sargent, Ann Powell. Elsa Kurtz, and Lu Carpenter. After a dinner uptown, the girls went back to Peg Sargent’s for cake and ice cream.

Anita Rogers invited Betty Bram-mell to her home at Mt. Etna. Iowa. last Saturday and Sunday. On the way to a district meeting, they had a flat tire and the brushes went out in the generator—whatever that means—anyway some kind soul must have helped the ladies in distress. Because they’re back in school.

It’s All In The Grip


(ACP) Have you ever watched your girl squeeze a tooth paste tube? Does she use the death grip, the middle squeeze, or the top-end squeeze? It might make a difference as to how neat a housewife she’ll be.

At the University of Wyoming, twenty girls were tested on their tooth paste tube squeezing habits. It was found that the girls who carefully squeezed from the bottom of the tube and rolled it up as they went along, tended to be neat in other things.

Girls who grabbed the tube and squeezed at random tended to be careless. Some of the "careless” girls said they were still half asleep when dealing with the tube, and didn't much care how they squeezed it.

The McPherson Bulldogs opened their 1952 football season with a 33 to 0 Kansas Conference victory over the Bethel Graymaroons at Newton last Friday night.

Coach Chalmer Woodard used all 33 players he had available for the game, and one of them, Bob Wise played the first football game he had ever played. "Woody” used several different offensive and defensive combinations to give many of his players experience and to find the best combination to use in later games.

McPherson came close to scoring three more touchdowns in the game. They were on Bethel’s one-yard line when the game ended.

McPherson’s defensive play was one of the high points in the game. They held Bethel to a net yardage gained of only 38 yards. Only once did Bethel even penetrate into Mc-Pherson territory.    

The passing attack of both teams showed up poorly with each team completing a very small percentage of the passes attempted. McPherson. however intercepted two passes, one of them run back by Dwight McSpadden for 30 yards.

Five McPherson backs entered the scoring column in the first game of the season. Gene Smith made two touchdowns. Wayne Blic-kenstaff and Eddie Ball carried for single touchdowns. Dwight Mc-Spadden scored a touchdown and added two other points with place kicks, and John Robison made an extra point plunging.

McPherson kicked off to start the game and on the first play run from scrimmage. Bethel fumbled and lost the ball to the Bulldogs on the 25 yard line.

McSpadden and Robison battered the Bethel defense and made consistent gains until the five-yard stripe was reached. Here McPherson lost the ball on an incomplete pass on fourth down and Bethel took over.

After a few plays which went nowhere. Bethel punted to McPherson and the Bulldogs took over again. McPherson found the going too rough and on fourth down Gene Smith punted out of bounds on the 5 yard line.

A few plays later. McPherson made a first and ten on the Bethel 26. Smith and Mehlinger carried to the Bethel 14. McSpadden advanced the ball to the ten-yard line. Robison moved it on to’ the one. and two plays later Dwight McSpadden went into pay dirt for McPherson's first touchdown of the season. Robison carried the ball over for the extra point.

In the second quarter Bethel made its only serious threat of the game. McPherson fumbled on Bethels 42 yard line. McPherson was penalized

B Team Defeats KWU B Squad

McPherson’s B team converted all of their extra points here last Monday night to defeat K. W. U.

B. squad 21-19. Gene Elrod scored all three of McPherson's touchdowns on Quarterback sneaks.

Two of K. W. U. touchdowns were made without a play run from scrimmage. They carried a kickoff back 85 yards, for the second touchdown and blocked a kick and carried it over for the third one.

Except for those two momentary lapses, the defensive team played tight football. Several different times Kansas Wesleyan would find themselves in the situation of having third or fourth down coming up and 15 or 20 yds. to go to make a first and ten.

In contrast. McPherson was able to make yardage almost at-will. Using only a limited variety ol plays. McPherson ground out its touchdowns on long marches.

A highlight of the game was the Elrod to Metsker passes. Carl Metsker caught a total of six passes during the night's play. One ol these was good for a gain of 42

The Cracked Crystal Ball

By The Seer

Season's Record: 16 right 2 wrong Percentage .889.

With typical beginner’s luck, I came out from last week’s predictions virtually unmarked. The only major mistake that I made, is one that all of you loyal Kansas fans knew all the time I was wrong about, that of thinking T. C. U. could defeat K. U.

Another reason for my luck was that many of the top teams were playing “breathers” last week. Do not inform Maryland that their game with Missouri was a ''breather" or they will probably just laugh at you.

Well, I guess we are ready for another glimpse into the cracked cyystal ball.
