Pondering With The President . . .

What Will Your Move Be For Equality, Integration?

Ten-thousand young people assembled in Washington, D. C. last October 25th to make a solemn affirmation of their support for equal education for the integration of the schools.

Many of these "young people 'were students, just like you and me. "Most of them came from schools and colleges in the East. Negroes and white were both present in almost equal numbers.

These students promised themselves as well as the people of the nation that they would fight for integration, and that they would return to Washington bringing more young people with them.

Soon, you as students on McPherson Campus will be much closer to the problem, perhaps even closer than ever before. You will be closer because these dedicated young people are on the move, and they will be contacting you through the media of televisions, radio, and petitions.

What will your answer be to these fighters for equality? Will you help them?


Do We Have ‘Ins’ And ‘Outs’?


By Dr. D. W. Bittinger

No family can be an absolute unity. There art-some who feel close in and others who wish they were closer in. In nations this gives rise to revolutions or to elections, either peacefully or violently conducted.

Often the differences between the “in” and the “out” group are very small. It may be an emotional or attitudinal condition, more than anything else.

It has always been my hope that at McPherson College there will be a minimum of difference felt between certain inevitable natural groupings: those who come from the town, those who come from other parts of America or the world, those who are members of the Church of the Brethren, those who arc members of other churches, those who are married, those who are single.    

It seems to me that our sense of unity here is as good as in any college I know. It takes effort on the part of all of us to make this true.

I hope that it can become even truer, and that faculty members and their families can always also be involved in this of "one group” with one general overall coordinated purpose.    

May we be. always, a group of friendly, sharing searchers.

Wake Up And Read!

1959 Liberty Week Theme

The Spectator, Page 2

April 10, 1959

Thousands of communities throughout the United States will be celebrating the second National Library Week next week. From April 12 to April 18 the event, sponsored by the National Book Committee in cooperation with the American Library Association. will be in full swing.

Devoted To Heading National Library Week is devoted to the importance of reading in American life and to the importance of libraries of all kinds — public, school and university libraries, and the libraries maintained by individuals in their own homes.

Leading magazines, newspa-

pers, radio and television stations, and leaders in the business and educational world will join in participating in the celebration and in providing special attention to reading and libraries in publications and broadcasts.

The objective of the week, as stated in the LIBRARY JOUR NAL, is to remind the American people that reading can help them to explore and to satisfy their need for a greater sense of purpose and meaning in their lives; to urge them to use more fully the libraries of all kinds in which the treasures of the printed word await throughout the land.

But there is a wider aim: to set apart a time when people

can rededicate themselves to the ideas and ideals of a free society.

Re-Assess Values National Library Week is a time to re-assess personal riches of mind and opportunity. It is also a time to explore, through reading, intellectual potential: to develop readiness to adapt to the changes that an age of atoms and automation is bringing.

Though it can be an unparalleled source of entertainment, reading is not a tranquilizer, but a channel to new ideas and viewpoints that can help Americans respond to the challenge of lei sure in a creative, satisfying way.

It offers an exciting form of escape from preoccupation merely with having and doing, into a full life of being, knowing, understanding and believing.

No Non-Readers The second year continues the work of the first. The same theme

Wake Up and Read!”, will be used again to underline the same conviction: we cannot afford a nation of non-readers. We should strive "for a better-read, better-informed America."

To help celebrate National Li brary Week, the library staff will distribute literature all over campus. They will also place table cards in the cafeteria on each table. The idea te to make students aware of the opportunity, which is always present, to read.

A display will be set up in the library which will contain books selected by the professors of the college as their favorites through the years. The books will be displayed with the name of the prof, who selected them.

Never pay much attention to criticism after you have drawn what wisdom you can from it.

Easter Project Results In "Hole” New Area

An Easter vacation project of cutting a hole in a basement wall by Prof. S. M. Dell and Prof. Alvin Willems has nearly doubled the space of work area in the Industrial Arts building.

The new room in the basement also has a storage room, that will permit material for experiment to be stored when not in use.

The new space is now being used by the bench metal and the bench sheet metal class.

The new room will be equipped \vith florescent lighting.

Chaff realizes that a great moral awakening is sweeping over the campus. We have studied this trend, but the press of our tight schedules has cut down our usual voluminous research, and we have been restricted to short research.

But even this short study has convinced us that a great uplift has come in campus ethics. In line with this trend. Chaff has some recommendations to make in order to broaden the scope of this reformation.

There is a time and place for various things. A public hallway is not the place for saying goodnight. Please say goodnight in a more private place, such as your car. Or get a reservation from Chaff for the laundry closet in the hall. Thank you for your cooperation.

There is a time and place for various things. The bloodmobile is the place for bleeding. Please wear loose fitting clothing when you come to give blood as this will allow good circulation and will reduce the chances of your fainting. Thank you for your cooperation.

There is a time and place for various things. The Chaff tunnel is not the place for wearing formal attire. Please put on working clothes before coming to the Chaff tunnel. By the way. the tunnel is progressing nicely. More volunteer labor would be appreciated. Thank you for your cooperation.

There is a time and place for various things. Flory's history class is not the place for a short nap. Please stay awake or there may be a slack in your grade. Thank you for your cooperation.

There is a time and place for various things. The library is not the place for discussions, even short discussions. Please spend your time in the library girdling

yourself with truth. Thank you for your cooperation.

There is a time and place for various things. The cafeteria is not the place for a short meal. Please come prepared for a long wait in line at the cafeteria. But don’t come too late, as the line stops as soon as there is a slack in the line. And remember the short orders of the cafeteria. Thank you for your cooperation.

It may be a lawn that has been green for weeks, it may be a bird that has been singing since dawn, or it may be a person that I have just seen also as my friend. This way God makes me aware of His love, and through His love. I am made aware of God.

This shapes my Spirit into a peaceful brook making its way down some distant mountain. Going from rock to rock, from sunbeam to sunbeam, from daydream to daydream, it slowly edges its way into the black, churning sea of turbulent, evil sin.

But. it adds a minute of calm to that sea before it is swallowed up and dissolved.

Many claim that inner-peace is impossible to achieve, but I submit that prayer is the key. Through prayer — diligent, earnest. relentless prayer — a person can obtain a closeness to God that is termed “emotion" by cynics.

Some people will tell you that they find inner-peace while they are praying, others will say they find it at the close of a prayer session. But both will agree that they have inner-peace only when they have laid their sins before God. and asked His forgiveness.

If you have a chance, look into the eyes of a deeply religious person when he has just ceased praying. You will find a peace and serenity there that is almost beyond comprehension. There is no greater feeling than to have God’s peace in your heart.

How long has it been since you have had a long, deep TALK WITH GOD???
