Color slides entitled “Oh Beautiful For Spacious Skies" will be shown at the evening service.

The Friends University Quakers were clawed by the McPherson College Bulldogs 32-0 in a Kansas conference game last Friday.

The extremely cold weather played an important part in the loss of six fumbles by the Quakers. These fumbles were quickly recovered by the Bulldogs.

Although the first quarter was quite evenly matched, the second quarter saw the Bulldogs score three touchdowns and two extra points to give them a 20-0 half time. lead.

Keim hit first pay dirt with 9:42 left in the period. Ragland kicked the conversion. T h i drive started after recovering a fumble of Friends late in the first period.

Another Friends' fumble set up McPherson's second TD. Case-beer, who has been sidelined with an injury the past two games, clinched the drive on a plunge from the one-yard line for the TD. Ragland made good the conversion.

Late in the second quarter the Bulldogs took a punt on their own 30-yard line. Keim took the ball and on a play through the left side of the line and sprinted the 70 yards for a McPherson TD. The attempted conversion by Ragland was no good.

' Ragland went around end on a 25-yard run to score with the clock showing 10:21 left in the third period. This TD was also set up after recovering a Friends’ fumble.

Late in the third quarter Friends made its only threat of the game. Coach Sid Smith put his first squad back in at the start of the fourth period. They found the Quakers on the three-yard line threatening to score. The Quakers threw a pass which was caught in the end zone. However, the official ruled that the receiver had pushed a McPherson player, thus cancelling the TD.

By Norris and Carl

In the days of Fikus Disgustus a decree went out from the Social Committee that beginning Nov.

. 3, 1957. and ending Nov. 9, 1957. all girls are ordered to pay all expenses incurred on dates, and furthermore they shall assume the responsibility of asking for and arranging for all dates on campus during that period.

This presents a rather unusual situation for all of us on campus (except married students) as we will be thrust into rolls for which we have little or no experience.

The girls may be aided in asking for dates by reviewing last week's column for advice on the subject.

But you poor fellows who have no knowledge of methods of date allurement will be happy to know that Norris and Carl have hired a spy from the opposite sex, and she has formulated a plan for you fellows to follow to get the girls to ask you for dates.

Here is the plan.

First, make yourself available to the girls. Sit by one of the cute young things in the library a couple nights in a row and she may get the idea.

Then be sure to hang around the Dog House from about 9:30 or so until closing time, situating yourself near the door where the girls will have to pass on the way out. making it apparent that you have no one to walk you home, and striking up a conversation every time one comes within earshot.

In case there are some girls watching TV you could--sit by one. and when she gets up to leave, you should also arise and saunter leisurely toward the door.

She will naturally feel obligated to offer to walk you to the dorm. At this you should look extremely surprised, and accept.

On the way to the dorm you should mention the good show at the theater downtown, and the ball gome at Lindsborg Friday night.

This would also be a good time

to suggest studying together for a test you both must take. Stress especially that you know nothing about the course, and want her to help you. as she seems to know all about it.

Second, take a sudden interest in such things as cooking, sewing, fashions, and true romance magazines, talking continuously about them even if you don’t know a cotton-picken thing about them.

This would be a good time to take a liking to Siamese kittens and become an authority on orchids and roses.

If this approach fails to work, there may be something wrong with your outward appearance. For example, you may have slum-ing shoulders. Pull them up to give them a square appearance.

Wear tight sweaters to accentuate the square shoulders. If they still slump, wear shoulder pads. These can either be of the type which are built into your shirt, or the insert type. The inflatable type should be avoided, as a puncture may be disastrously embarrassing.

To enhance your appearance further, it would be advisable to wear sweet smelling hair oil and shaving lotion.

If your hair is a mousy gray color, the appearance can be improved by use of concentrated Clorox. This may also induce that distinguished bald look.

When you have used all these methods for a few days, some girl is bound to ask you for a date. When this happens, play hard to get. When she comes to the dorm to call you, take fifteen minutes to come down stairs.

When she asks you. act mildly interested, say that you really should study, but that you guess it will be O. K. if you can come

ly concerned with the second bit of news than with the first.

It was that, in America, it took an army to make it safe for nine Negro children to go to school. It was that schools could be closed rather than have colored children sit in them with white children.

Since most of the world is of color, and the white race is only of the minority with a lot of power in its hands, even the power of Sputnik, the question of what the white people are going to do about color, or what the colored people are going to do about the whites, cuts deeply into the emotions. and casts a long shadow across the emerging future.

The new era which Sputnik opened looked frightening because of Little Rock, and the shadows cast across the world by Little Rock.

We raised a great deal of fuss about who got Sputnik up first. This was really of little importance. because no one nation could put Sputnik up without the accumulated knowledge, some of which came from every nation, in the world through all the centuries that have existed up to the present time.

Even "The Wise Men of the East" had something to do with it. Putting Sputnik up was not the enterprise of the Russians, it was an enterprise of all history, culminating only now. This new knowledge can be used helpfully or hurtfully.

What happened at Little Rock

is also a product of the centuries. It indicates how dreadful ly far we have yet to go. for if we would go forward, we must go forward together.

Two events hit the news recently with shattering intensity. Both of them were significant, not only to one part of the world, but to all of the world. Both of them were headlined in the newspapers wherever newspapers are published and beyond that they were spoken of in every nook and cranny of our earth where news can permeate.

No doubt, two Africans, walking barefoot across the southern Sahara, conversed on these two things.

No doubt, two Indians deep in the jungles of South America, who could hardly see the sun because of the dense shade, fishing together in their stream, spoke of these things.

One of these was the shooting of Sputnik out as a new star to sail around our earth. This was spoken of because if seemed to open for us a total new dimension.

Just as Columbus sailed across an ocean and found a new world with new people in it and was eager to bring the people back so that they could be seen, so this gave promise of a new world where we might sail forth into space to bring back new things, new knowledge, and even perhaps new people.

This revived the interest in space ships all over again. This was like standing at the opening of a new age. or the opening of the curtain upon a new scene.

But the other news item was spoken of with even deeper emotional intensity. Likely the two men in Africa, or the two Indians under the trees in South America, were more personal-

Why Ruth Left

This week an unusual situation arose when our Homecoming Queen-elect, Ruth Hanagarne, felt it was necessary to leave school and return to her home.

We were all sorry that she left us and we wondered why she did it just before she was to become our queen.

Ruth explained that, because of trouble in her home and for financial reasons, she knew she would have to leave school soon, probably before the end of this semester.

Also, she plans to be married soon, and she wanted to be with her family before that.

She decided that it would not be right for her to accept the honor of being Homecoming Queen when she knew she would be leaving shortly and would not be able to complete her year's reign and crown next year’s queen.

In her humble way. Ruth thought it would be best if she left quietly and let the students pick someone else who could reign as queen for the entire year.

While Ruth was here, she was a leader on campus, serving as an officer in many organizations, and representing her class on the Student Council. We are sorry that she has left us, but we do respect her for doing what she thought was right — The Editor

Smoke curled lazily from the chimney of a small cabin deep in the Pennsylvania woods. Inside. Foley was cooking his usual breakfast; caviar and meat-balls. while Faus was outside writing love letters in the sand.

It was a brisk October morning. and soon these two stalwart young nobles would be venturing into the woods for another day of bear hunting.

Our heroes ate their breakfast, slung their packs over their shoulders, and were off into the mountains. They had walked only 20 miles when Foley turned to Faus.

And sure enough, upon investigating. they realized what they had forgotten — their guns.

So Foley went back for their Pennsylvania long rifles, while Faus went bravely on alone.

The sly one had started across a clearing when he heard a noise coming from behind him. As he whirled, a huge Polar bear came charging through the underbrush. With one terriffic leap the monster was upon him.

But Faus was very calm and fearless. With only his bare hands and a rusty hairpin, he engaged the brute in battle.

On into the afternoon the battle raged. First the bear was down, then Faus was down. Then they were both down. They scrap-pled. they tussled, they clawed, they rolled, they chewed, they strained, they sweated, they choked. and they roared.

After their pause, the fighters stood apart, glared, then were at it again. Fierce was their mighty battle. Trees were shaken loose, huge boulders were moved, and the noise could be heard for miles as the two continued their life struggle.

At last the bear began to pant, his reflexes slowed, his muscles grew tired and aching. Faus saw his chance. Rising to his full height, he inflated his brawny chest and drew back his powerful left arm. all bulging with
