How’s Your Etiquette?

How’s your etiquette? It’s time to brush up on your table manners and plan to attend the MCA dinner next Thursday night. Etiquette makes life more enjoyable. Good manners based on kindness of heart are fundamental to our civilized nation.

How about putting your manners to practice here at college—in the cafeteria, in the dorms or on a date or where ever you happen to be.

Occasions will arise in everyone’s life when he must attend a banquet or formal dinner. Will you be embarrassed?

College days are the time to practice up on such little courtesies. The mark of a well educated man is courtesy and consideration of others.

All Fields Have Registered Progress During November

tive 18 hour run will long be remembered by TV fans who watched the telethon Nov. 30. 1957. In these 19 hours, Jerry Lewis collected $7000,000 for Muscular Dystrophy Associations of America, striking a significant blow against this mysterious, devastating disease.

The future of the Institute will largely be determined by the success of this November’s drive. November, 1958, may mark the beginning of the conquest of Muscular Dystrophy.

In November. 1877. Edison told the world he had perfected a

talking machine."

The horseless carriage had many colorful November adventures.

America’s first auto race raised the dust from Chicago to Evanston, Ill., in Nov. 1895. Four Novembers later the first automobile show was held in Madison Square Garden on November 3, 1900.

The tradition of November gratitude began with the passengers of the Mayflower, who held feasts and church services that month to celebrate the passing of their precarious year in the new world.

In 1789, George Wahington designated Nov. 28 as a day of thanksgiving — for the adoption of the new American Constitution.

In 1863, at the request of President Lincoln. America celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day on the last Thursday in November.


There is nothing by which men display their character so much as in what they consider ridiculous.






The Thanksgiving month deserves a vote of thanks. Pioneers and trailblazers of all kinds have flourished in its discouraging climate and the November barometer has consistently registered progress in all fields.

Many innovators had November beginnings, among them physicist Marie Currie, inventor Rob ert Fulton, pioneer prototype Daniel Boone and magnate Andrew Carnegie.

Labor leaders have also pio-neered in November. In November, 1881 Samuel Gompers found ed The Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions, forerunner of the better-known AFL.

In November 1935 John L. Lewis bent his famous eyebrows to the problem of organizing an industrial union for workers not eligible for AFL membership. Result: the CIO.

Although it launched a "Czar-dom," November weather has more often than not been congenial to democracy. Winston Churchill was bom during November 1875. North and South Ka kota, Washington and Oklahoma joined the Union in November.

Archeologist entered the tomb of King Tut in November 1922.

Several years later Admiral Byrd telegraphed his arrival at the South Pole.

Historic runs are a November specialty. November has introduced many a theatrical hit. On Nov. 3, 1939. Life With Father began its 3 year run. A consecu

Pondering With The President

On My Campfires

By Dr. D. W. Bittinger

At Dodge City there is an interesting statue of a cowboy. He wears a wide-brimmed hat and carries his guns low.

On the bottom of the statue are these words. “On my campfires you build your cities.”

What he said is demonstrated by the string of cities which followed him across the west: Abilene, Dodge City, Rocky Ford, Denver, Laramie, and on to the Pacific Ocean. Pioneering is not ended.

We should be building some campfires in intellectual, spiritual, and social realms which will become the strongholds of a better world tomorrow.

John Miller, a college trustee from Oklahoma City, Okla., has presented the McPherson College Physics Department with some used X-ray equipment according to George Arnold, assistant professor’ of math and physics.

“We were very glad to get it because it would be quite expensive to buy it new," Mr. Arnold said.

ing up the dark room to develop the film," Mr. Arnold said.

Mr. Arnold mentioned that he wanted to use the X-ray for an experiment with mutations on flies when the next class in genetics is organized.

"There arc seven students in the atomic theory class,” Mr. Arnold said, "and they study the structure of atoms, radioactivity, property of electrons, production of spectra, and x-rays by various atoms."

"Several of the physics students have been watching the 6:30 a.m. TV physics course. Mr. Arnold said.

Seven students from this area are enrolled and three audit the TV physics course which ' Mr. Arnold coordinates for the McPherson area.

Mr. Arnold indicated the experimental TV course has been working well and that it would be continued next semester in nuclear physics.

Macollege students enrolled in design class this semester are Esther Bollinger. Janice Bower. Carol Cheek. Donna Coe, Marjorie Hanley, Bonnie Hodgden, Avis Prochaska, Shirley Reynolds and Roberta Varner.

Design is a basic course. Other design courses are built from it.

Design is a study of the principles of design and not the techniques. The techniques of design are minor points. They are not studied with the principles.

Different projects are being made all the time. The projects are not elaborated on. The class studies the principles of them, and then they make the design.

One of the projects in design class was to take a string and dip it into paste. The string was then dropped on a piece of paper and made into a design.

Another one of the projects was textures. The same idea was carried through only with different types of textures. One of the projects was a braid of hair made of yarn with a plastic comb placed beside it.

One of the projects was on sewing materials. It had different types of buttons, material, and other items that are used to sew with.


Weed arrangements were made. The girls picked weeds and used them in arrangements with drift wood. The drift wood and weed arrangements were made for form al balance.

Lettering is another one of their many projects. They made letter arrangements to learn how to letter properly.

At Christmas time, the design students will make mobiles. Before the class is finished, they will design a chair on paper.
