Harvey likes old type of music very much, particularly Europear music that was written up to the time of 1750. He likes modern music with a little popular rock and roll now and then. Harvey also likes oriental music but his favorite is religious music.

Harvey feels that music is not just an art but it provides a def inite bridge between faith and reason. He feels that music is a real contribution in our churches Harvey’s favorite three musi cians are Machaut, Victoria and Bach. His favorite instruments are the percussion instruments and the flute.

In December. 1956, George Neuman. native Hungarian, had his first airplane ride which brought him to the United States.

December ‘ 1958 finds him a freshman at McPherson College majoring in electrical engineering.

In New York he was awarded a scholarship by World University Service to attend any college of his choice in the United States. He was selected from many applicants.

He was not required to take any tests to receive this scholarship and as he says tests don’t prove anything. It’s the work you do in college that counts.

When he first heard of McPherson and McPherson College he wasn't particularly impressed and comments that he thought it was something out west buried alive in a small town.

The town didn't change his opinion but the people did by their friendliness. He still thinks the town and the college are small.

Now I really love this town and everybody sticks together good." Then he added with a serious voice, “stick together — that slang, no?"

But George has mastered his English very well considering he has only been speaking it for 10 months.

George says he is amazed at the relationship between the faculty and student body. “Where I come from," he explained, "a teacher is a teacher. Here he is a friend."

George says it would be the happiest experience of his life if his parents could come to America.

The little child, Jesus, was born into a world in which there was no room for Him. His mother must have been heartbroken when she discovered that she would need to bring him into the world in a stable She must have been frightened, too, for herself and for His welfare. She had been told that she was to be the mother of God's own Son. But when she bore Him, there was no room for Him.

We will all be very busy in the next number of days concerning Christmas. We will be more than busy on Christmas Day.

Let us be on our guard lest in our homes, even in our Christmas celebrations, and in our private lives, the Christ discovers that there is still no room.

It is tragic when there is no room for Him, no room for His love, no room for His peace.

Is this still true in our world? In our lives?

An important roadblock in the highway to graduation is biology, which you must take to meet the distribution requirements.

We of McPherson College are privileged to have the opportunity to study under the noted biologist, Dr. Bohn Jurkholder, B.S., M.S., MESS. TFMSL, etc. (Have you et cetera?)

Biology is a difficult subject, and since you will have to take it, we recommend that you begin preparing yourself now for this grueling course.

Chaff has done voluminous research on this subject, (meaning that we flunked biology), and we have come up with this special short set of biology questions for you to use and study in preparing yourself for biology.

When you take the course, you will have to answer these questions and many many many others. Therefore you should study these carefully and begin learning all about gametophytes, sporo-phytes, prize fights, dirty fights, dog fights, and fixed fights.

1. A pure-breeding black female guinea pig was mated to a pure-

breeding white male guinea pig. The off-spring would be (a) black with white spots, (b) white with black stripes, (c) black with white sidewalls, (d) confused.

2. If it takes a hen-and-a-half a day-and-a-half to lay an egg-and-a-half. how long will it take a cow to ride a bicycle? (Explain carefully what type of mutation caused the half hen.)

3. On a sleep plateau in Salty Arabia there live deer which feed on the grass, and mountain lions which feed on the deer. If all the deer should happen to die off. the mountain lions would (a) get mighty hungry, (b) learn to eat grass, (c) fill air with dirty language. (d) keep kool with cornels.

4. A biology student thought he would try an experiment to make money. He would raise cats and rats, and feed the rats to the cats, skin the cats and sell the fur to make mink coats, and feed the cat carcasses back to the rats, thus making a complete circle and not having to buy food. Why wouldn’t this work? (a) No one would be stupid enough to buy cat fur for mink coats, (b) Cats would get, blasted tired of eating nothing but rats. (c) Rats would come to feel insecure and get all kinds of inferiority complexes by being eaten by cats.

The unknown quantity in arithmetic is "X"; the unknown ray was called “X-ray”; the unknown symbol to the majority of people is the “X” in X-Mas. So it is that many refer to X-mas as. an irreverent modern substitution for Christmas devised to save copy space. How wrong they are!

"X-mas” can be traced back to 1551 and probably was in Use prior to that. X-ian and X-anity were also freely used.

It began in the first centuries of the Christian era. Jesus probably taught in Aramaic, the language commonly spoken in Palestine. Hebrew was used primarily in temples and synagogues.

But the language of scholarship throughout the Eastern Mediterranean was Greek, and all the earliest New Testament manuscripts were written in Greek.

Complexities arose, however, between Greek and English. In the two alphabets some letters are identical; others ore totally different. We must use two letters to represent the Greek letters Psi or Phi. Worst of all there

are some letters used in both languages but to represent different sounds.

To get to the root of the matter consider the letter we call "eks" — “X". In Greek “X” is “Chi.” So the word Christos when

written in Greek letters appears as “XPICTOC” or ”XPISTOS.” There is our clue to "X” in “Xmas.”

In the 1500's the New Testament often was read and discussed in Greek clergy. When writing. it was perfectly natural for those learned men to abbreviate "Christ” into the Greek initial of “XPISTOS.”

You may prefer Christmas to “Xmas:” many people do, but remember that "Xmas" is not "eks"mas, but "Ch"(rist)mas.

How big is your religion? How wide, how deep, how far does it reach? If I were to analize by religion I would not list a set of rules which I believe to be right or wrong. Religion is not a set of rules, it is a way of life; it is not written on paper, it is lived. Instead I would ask myself a set of questions.

Is my religion strong enough to stand alone or docs it drift along and conform to the “religion” of the crowd? Is my religion an "inherited religion" passed on to me from my cultural background or has it grown from my own personal experience resulting in a deep faith in God?

Is my religion big enough to allow for my mistakes and the mistakes of others and in caring for the both of us assume a dou-ble responsibility? Or is it a sel fish religion without concern for others or myself?

Is my religion taller than I am, or ore its standards set low because I know I can never really reach these higher goals; therefore in order to avoid the feeling of failure hove I set my goals below what they should be? Perhaps it would be better for me to be dissatisfied because I have not reached my highest ideals than to be satisfied with less than the best.

Is my religion wide enough to see something good, something worth while behind those hard dark lines of the convicts face? Do I see that behind his warped mind is a warm heart that cannot express its real self? Or perhaps as a college student I fail to sec something good in another student which my best friends condemn, because if I do I may lose confidence of my

friends.

Is ,my religion strong enough to experience failure, see the

tragic and sinful side of human nature and yet not loose faith in mankind and in God?

Is the most important thing in my religion a growing relationship with God. resulting in deep concern for people? Or is it a "hidden religion” that stays in the church on Sunday?

Many would soy that religion is for sissies who can’t stand alone on their own two feet, but I say that religion is for big people — with the biggest hearts, the broadest minds, the deepest love and the highest concern for their fellowmen — be he friend or foe. —J.E.N.

The Song Sung By Editors

Getting out a college newspaper is no picnic. If we print jokes students say we are silly. If we don't they say we are too serious.

If we publish original stuff they say we lack variety. If we clip from other papers they say we are too lazy to write.

If we stay in the office we should be out hunting news. If we hunt up news we are not tending our business.

If we wear old clothes we are stingy. If we wear new ones they are not paid for. Like as not some will say we swiped this article from another paper. We did and they swiped it from the other one.

disarmament and control of nuclear weapons.

Even furthering the argument of the negative, I believe that since God gave man the power to discover and use radioactivity, He will give man the power to discover a counteractant to its slight effects.

Affirmative

The question of atomic weapons development is of major interest to the world barring no nation.

The affirmative must bear the burden of proof and establish facts to show why a change of the present situation must be realized after which a solution guaranteeing the effectiveness of the change must be’ submitted.

The affirmative contends that radiation is a hazard to the world populous and may be compared to automobile accidents in that effects are scattered and real involving large numbers of people. but due to the scattered pattern. realization of the problem does not sufficiently impress the public and will not for two or three generations, at which time resulting mutations will undoubtedly make a more prominent appearance.

The affirmative contends that since most of the negative evidence stems from the government backed AEC, Atomic Energy Commission, the negative evidence is biased and rapidly becoming out-dated.

Further affirmative contentions include loss of neutral power support for the US as a result of continued development, unjust cast and public taxation, and danger of a possible world devastating nuclear war resulting from fear induced by political tension, possibly in the guise of preventative measures.

The solution for this world di-limna can be found through international control using various means of detection.

Debaters Participate In Tournament Today

Today has special meaning for nine Macollege debaters. The nine students left for Winfield last evening and were scheduled to take part in debate this afternoon and tomorrow morning.

Non-debate activities will occupy most of their time this morning. The team will represent McPherson College in groups of discussion, extemporaneous speaking, salesmanship, and interpretive reading.

Competition in oratory will be offered, but the team will not be represented.

Students participating in the tourney arc Dick Bittinger, Jim Devine, Dick Ferris, Mary Ann Guthals, Shirley Groth, Larry Hayes, Don Hollenbeck, Joan Walters, and Chet Peckover. They will return tomorrow afternoon.

Prof. Kenneth Bechtel, professor of sociology and language, will go to Southwestern College at Winfield as one of the judges for the debate tournament there this weekend. He will be making the trip with Prof. Guy Hayes, professor of speech and debate, and the McPherson College Debate Team.

editor's note: One of the major issues of the day is the banning of all atomic tests. The following articles contain the affirmative and negative sides of the problem as presented by the Macollege debaters. Which side do you take?)

Resolved: That further development of nuclear weapons should be prohibited by international agreement, has become a subject of hot disputes this school year. Those arguing the negative of the present topic are challenging in their arguments.

The negative supports the following issues: Does the present situation, in regard to nuclear weapons, make the affirmative proposal necessary? Arc there practicable means for putting the affirmative proposal into action? Would the affirmative program be advantageous?

The development and use of nuclear weapons makes a serious war less likely to occur, for it is the great power of these weapons which is keeping the Communists from making a major attack on the Western World.

Only the further development of our strength in light of nuclear weapons can prevent the Communists from taking over the small countries close to their borders. It is the great power of nuclear weapons which gives us a chance of a real peace in the future.

The negative also believes there are no practicable means for putting the present question into action, for opposition to the programs among nations is so great that there would be difficulty in putting it into action, The Russians, despite their announced support of a test ban, do not seem to be actually for it. and could not be trusted in any event. In the past four years alone, the Soviet Union has rejected 14 American proposals on
