Macollege students and faculty have pledged during the past week to help build new Sharp Hall. The totals, incomplete at the Spectator deadline, were announced in chapel this morning.

One thing I am sure I will never regret in spite of its many difficulties and discouragements is the fact that I was privileged to learn to know the German people by working with these refugees.

I was working with the German Y.M.C.A. in the areas of crafts, recreation, and counseling or visiting people within the two camps where I worked at different times. Oftentimes I was just a person on whom they could unload their gripes and discouragements of camp life.

I learned specifically a lot about East Germany, but of course I learned of West Germany as it is today and all of Germany as it once was in the past. I learned about Communism, and Russia and its satellites.

I woke up to a lot of the pro blems of the world today and realized that I have a lot of responsibility as a Christian world citizen.

Many German people often said to me. "Oh, it's too bad that you came so far and now have to work in such awful places and can’t see the beautiful parts of Germany." Of course. Germany being a country with much valuable cultural opportunity, the people were right in a sense, but I did sec some interesting and famous things in Germany and several other European countries as well

My work was centered near Bremen and in Hamburg, so I hadn’t much opportunity to see southern Germany, but I did get to travel, both because of conferences and on my own. in Switzerland. Austria. Holland, Denmark. Sweden, Norway, and England.

Probably because I was with Germans so much. I learned the language and ways of the people and really felt quite at home for the most part. I found that I was much, like the Germans in my way of thinking, so that often times I forgot that I was American and so did the people with whom I worked.

Now I am glad for the opportunity to be in America again, but I hope it isn't loo long until I can return to my German friends to learn more of the ways of the world and fulfill as well as possible my duties as a Christian world citizen.

Rudolph Harley Dies Suddenly

Rudolph Harley, a sophomore majoring in mathematics and physics, died suddely from heart failure last Sunday noon. He and his wife were getting ready to eat dinner in their apartment in Kline Hall when he passed away.

He had transferred to McPherson College this semester from Manchester College, North Manchester. Ind.

The rescue squad of the fire department was called, as well as a doctor, and firemen used the resuscitator for 25 minutes without results.

Samuel Rudolph Harley was born on Nov. 22, 1938, at Harris-berg, Va., son of Rev. and Mrs. Samuel A. Harley. He was married to Barbara Montel on August 25. this year, at her home at Syracuse, Ind., and moved to McPherson College just before the start of the fall term.

He had not been ill prior to his sudden death.

Besides the widow, survivors included his parents, one brother, Gail T. Harley, Detroit; one sister, Dorothy Harley, of the home and other relatives.

A brief memorial service was held Monday afternoon at the Danielson-Ball Funeral Home with Rev. Harry K. Zeller in charge.

The body has been sent to North Manchester, Ind., for funeral and burial services.

The McPherson Church of the Brethren will hold two Communion services during the day. The first Communion service will be held in Memory Chapel at 8:30 a.m.

This bread and cup communion

For two years, I left Mac College and went to Germany as a Brethren Volunteer Service worker.

Being in a different country, living with people of a different culture and who speak a different language, and knowing that one won’t be returning home until his 21 months are over can really make changes in a person.

Whether or not I was really mature enough for such a venture, I still do not know, but I learned a lot and I feel sure that my thinking has matured perhaps more than it would have had I remained in college to graduate before entering B.V.S.

We hear quite a bit about Germany today, because, besides England, it is probably our strongest ally in Europe. It has made amazing strides toward recovery since the destruction and defeat of the war, but it is still a "sick” country with many problems.

Probably the largest single problem is that of the refugees who come daily, weekly, and monthly through the Iron Curtain from East to West Germany. They* are fleeing a way of life Which we can hardly even imagine because of the many infrigements it places on the freedom of its people.

you place your ideas before the group and have them discussed impartially? Can you give and take as an adult, rather than as an adolescent or a child?

If you can do these things you already will have friends, and you will have still more in the future.

8. Are your ideas about what you should do as your life work clearer than they used to be? Do you know what is needing to be done in the world? Do you know whether your own abilities would help you to work at those tasks successfully? Do you know what brings you satisfaction as you work at it? Are you more committed to real service than you have ever been before? Are you clearer about how your life should be invested?

If you con answer, “Yes,” to these questions, you are growing. If you are not certain about them, you may not be growing.

When I was a lad my parents marked on the frame of the door leading to the kitchen, the height of various members of the family. This reached all the way from dad's height down to the smallest child. We would all line up with our backs to the door frame, while our heights were carefully checked. We could then compare our own heights against where we had been six months ago. It was possible, also, to measure our growth in comparison with our brothers and sisters. If we were growing more-rapidly than some, this gave us satisfaction. If we were being out distanced, or if we were not growing at all. we tried to figure out why and to cat something differently, or do something differently, so that we could grow.

It is good if a student at McPherson College can measure himself against some kind of door frame to see whether he is growing. If he is not growing at all. he should be concerned about it. If he is not growing as rapidly as others, he. likewise, should be concerned about it.

If you are. then against what door frame shall you stand in order to measure yourself?

1. Are you making better grades as you continue in school? You should be. You should be understanding more clearly what is expected of you. You should be learning how to study better. You should know how to allocate your time more carefully. You should be able to read faster. You should make better grades as you progress.

would have the audacity to speak out freely against decrees from the highest law of the land.

Action. When he saw the peace and quiet of the town of Little Rock, he knew something had to be done. Being a man of im mediate action, he called in the national guard and the state police.

Poof, there went the peace and quiet. Things started happening If Faubus were president, things would be happening all over the country.

Patriotism. He upholds the tried and proven standards of social organization, refusing to bend to the passing fancies of misdirected Yankees. (Not the baseball team.)

Protector of the common man. He has shown that he will lend a sympathetic ear to the masses when they assemble to make their desires known, and he even encourages them to assemble for this purpose. Yes, he will listen in the mobs, not to the aristocratic few who are in high places.

So you see. dear friends. Faubus is our only hope. Only he can preserve our beloved American Way of Life. Only he has the courage, patriotism, love of liberty, action leadership, and concern for the rights of the common white man.

When Faubus is president, hostile planes won't go flying all over our 6th fleet day after day with nothing happening to them. He will call out the campfire girls and cub scouts to chase them away.

Fellow Americans, beware! These are the times that try mens souls. Your American heritage is in danger! Our nation lacks staunch leadership.

Ever since the death of the late Senator Joseph McCarthy, our sovereign nation has needed a new Moses to lead us out of the wilderness.

After years of searching, Norris and Carl have finally found the ideal American statesman. These chaotic times have revealed his sterling character, loyalty, courage, stamina, patriotism, individuality. and moral vigor.

This man is none other than the Honorable Governor Orval Faubus (popularly known as Fob) from Arkansas, champion of the people, defender of the truth, and guardian of the fundamental rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Let us demonstrate how the past few hectic weeks have shown the following inherent leadership qualities which he possesses: Courage. What other man would have the courage to defy the supreme court, the president of the United States, and the U. S. Army. Even George Washington would have withered before such formidable foes.

In Sympathy

The students and faculty of McPherson College sympathize with Mrs. Rudolph Harley in the loss of her husband. We all share the loss when one of our McPherson College Family is taken from us.

Some of the students and facul ty members have contributed to a memorial fund for Rudolph. It has been collected by the Marry Macs, and will be sent to Mrs. Harley.

When Faubus is president, the supreme court will no longer be able to stop free elections among free, honest, hardworking, red-blooded. American laborers. In fact, the Supreme Court will no longer be.

The presidential election is only three years away. Now is the time to get on the Bandbus for

Return with us now to those thrilling days of the Old West, when men were men. women were scarce, and the only law west of the Mississsippi was a U. S. Marshall and the smell of Gunpowder!

One of the unsung heroes of the Old West was Five-Firearm Fred-ruck. Freddy never made the big time because he couldn’t ride a horse, and couldn’t get a good spot on TV.

Freddy, forerunner of all the two-gun heroes, never rode a horse because with all those guns wrapped around him. he didn't have any place to straddle a saddle.

He was one of those guys who always worked behind the scenes It was he who blacked the Lone Ranger’s eyes, and he who held the pail while Wyatt Earped.

Yes, our hero was always at work, behind the scenes, helping the most famous western heroes along. Once on a history test, he remembered the Alamo. He was the first man to say, "Stop ’em at the pass, boys.” He was lecturing on women at the time.

Like his creators, however. Freddy ran out of material. He was demoted to riding in posses, and never recovered from the blow. When last seen, he was headed for Kansas territory, looking for those two idiots responsible for him:
