By John Dilley The contractors now have the bulldozer, not Chaff, and progress on the new buildings is proceeding with careful measurement and quite a lot of noise.

To the disappointment of some students, the hole in front of Sharp is not a ten-foot deep grave, in which to bury worn-out facilty members and old books when the last week of May ends, nor is it a swimming pool, instead it is a valley in which the foundation of the Jesse Brown Auditorium •will be built.

More than forty years of Soviet rule have not squelched the Russian people's capacity for independent thought.

This is the conclusion of Yale University student Charles Neff, who toured the Soviet Union recently with seventeen fellow members of the Yale Russian Chorus.

Neff and his friends visited Russia as students rather than singers; thus they had no '‘official” concerts scheduled. But when

Science Profs Attend Academy Conference

Three Macollege professors attended the Kansas Academy of Science conference held at the University of Kansas at Lawrence last weekend.

The conference, which was held Thursday evening and Friday, was attended by Dr. John Burkholder, Dr. Wesley DeCoursey, and Prof George Arnold.

The conference consisted of various lectures and discussions.

A President’s Privilege

1. I am asked to go out to meet with various alumni groups in various cities and states across our country. At these, I meet people who were in college at McPherson as much as a decade before I was born.

I like to tell them that McPherson College is not a group of buildings at the end of Euclid Street in McPherson, Kansas. Rather, it is people, people who are at the end of Euclid now, and people who have been at the end of Euclid 60 years ago—people who are living and serving across America and in all parts of the world.

2. Added to the privilege of meeting this older segment of McPherson College, I also meet many high school youngsters who are planning to come to college. Some say, “Only one more year until I am there!" Others say, “only three more years!” But with enthusiasm they look forward to being a part of the McPherson College family.

This group—those yet to come, those here, and those serving widely—comprises McPherson College. It is a privilege to have a part in this chain of development and growth and to try to help each link become as strong as possible.

Dig A Hole, Cover ’Em Up instruments and musicians be put in the hole and covered up with dirt. The valley is being scooped out by the Du Bois Sand Company from Great Bend.

Macollege has among its new additions a mountain in front of Harnly Hall and then the Iron Curtain which extends from the Phys. Ed Building to the Library and from the city street to Sharp Hall. The Iron Curtain is to keep Bulldogs out and aliens in, and the mountain is the dumping place for the dirt taken from the valley in front of Sharp Hall.

The general contractors are Hahner-Foreman Calc Inc. from Great Bend. They will hire various other contractors such as electricians and plumbers. The Architects and Engineers are from Mann and Company in Hutchinson and members of AIA (American Institute of Architects).

Yale Students Find Russians Think Freely Despite Rulers their first impromptu song-delivered in a Leningrad hotel — met with enthusiasm from the Russian listeners, they knew they could safely sing through the country.

Lively discussions usually followed their concerts. Neff reports. Peace was the central theme.

With surprising frequency the opinions expressed by Russian citizens varied from the "party square platforms. These ore where the workmen will start the building.

Many of the students have probably noticed the widened sidewalk running from the Arnold Hall parking lot to Sharp Hall's mailbox. It is not a drag strip, but is a service entrance for the mailtruck, the trucks coming in with supplies for the Doghouse.

Dedicated To Mothers

Sunday, May 10 is set aside for Mother. Bertha Nolan has set into poetry words which I feel could describe mothers the world over.

Your constancy and care, through childhood days; In lonely hours how oft I’ve wished you near!

ine." When, for example, some' young Communist officials' began eciting party - line slogans, a group of citizens shouted, "Oh, come on, we’ve heard that be-fore."

So deep is the Russians’ de-sire for peace, says Neff, that some indicated they would stand up to the Kremlin if it tried to send them into battle. One middle-aged worker declared: "I

will never kill a man again — ex-cept to shoot the officer who tells me to shoot.”

Neff's conclusion: The Soviet people are not about to revolt. They are, however, critical of their rulers — often in a highly vocal way. And significantly, the criticism seems to be increasing.

Sentimental and beautiful Swiss Handerkerchiefs have always figured importantly in courtship and in marriage ceremonies.

Whether the bride wears her traditional Swiss wedding handkerchief in her blue garter, her lace edged decolletage, or coyly tucked at the wrist to cloud that ‘third finger left hand”, they are all bridal points, of etiquette.

Many Swiss brides think their marriage will be tearful if they don't carry a handkerchief down the aisle — a notion perhaps encouraged by their skilled countrymen. who’ve supplied intricate lace handkerchiefs to generations of European and American brides.

Swiss handkerchiefs have long been a favorite gift of the bride to her bridesmaids.

Some other European brides court luck by weeping on the way to church. Perhaps in this tradition Marie Antoinette wept on her way from her beloved Austria to marry Louis XVI of France.

The story says that she tore a piece of beautiful lace from her dress to dry her tears. Lace became her favorite and the ladies of the court followed her lead.

It’s "Yours Free!

That’s right. When you send your $20 for a fragrant Chaff Cedar Sweatshirt, it comes in brown wrapping paper which is yours free. So rush your $20 bills to room 410 Dotzour.

Confusion

By Lan Ying Fu

God.

Why is the world so created By your wonderful hands That full of happiness,

Grief, prejudice, and pride Should be the pattern of our lives?

We seek an answer.

But the voice of truth is silent. And our heart with confusion throbs

By Watson

Arc you a NEGATIVE Christian? Many of us arc. We make our claim to Christianity on the basis that we have never done anything wrong.

Having never done anything wrong is not enough, for we must do good things, too. A good Christian does no wrong, and he goes about doing good, too.

The example for doing good and no wrong comes from the time that Jesus was in the flesh. He most certainly did no wrong, but He also went about doing good to His fellow man.

The lawyer in the New Test-ment who said that he had kept the Commandments from his youth was told to sell all that he had and do good to the poor.

The Ten Commandments were given to us to be kept, but just keeping the Commandments is not enough.

Every time I hear a person say, “I don’t drink, smoke, or swear," I want to ask him, “So what? That doesn't get you any closer to Heaven than the people who do good, but do not believe in God."

Negative Christians often lead non-believers astray.

Let us take a close look and see what a good Christian really is: (1) he keeps the Commandments. and (2) he is willing to help his fellow man in time of need.

If we do good only to those who we think can help us. then we are falling short of the mark of Christianity.

Only a person who keeps the Commandments. AND helps others has the right to call himself Christian.

College Church Pastor To Be Chapel Guest

Rev. Harry K. Zeller, pastor of the McPherson Church of the Brethren, will be the chapel speaker next Tuesday.

The bride’ chose a powder blue lace street length dress with matching accessories.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Heidebrecht are Macollege students. After a few days in Kansas City, the couple now make their home at 304 S. Hickory.

Thelma Clouse

Plans to major in biology and some day become a woman doctor were interrupted in 1937 when she married D. B. Clouse. Prior to this time she had attended school at Central College and Wichita University.

In 1954, Mrs. Clouse was dean of women at Central College. Before coming to Mac to study. Mrs. Clouse and her husband were in full time ministry in the Methodist church.

Rural Life Major

Taking two years work in three years at Mac, Mrs. Clouse has taken such classes in her major field as landscape gardening, farm crops, soils, principles of feeding, animal husbandry, poultry husbandry, and one of her favorites, entymology.

In her entymology class, she made an insect collection which was one of her more interesting projects. She has also made projects in landscape gardening, some of which will be left in the department.

The Clouses have lived in and around the Wichita area most of their lives. They plan to continue working in Mac after Mrs. Clouse and their daughter, Jane graduate in May.

Future Plans

Future plans Include returning to the ministry. Mrs. Clouse believes her Rural Life major will be quite helpful in the rural ministry.

Mrs. Clouse comments about her major. "It was interesting, and I believe it will be very helpful in future contact with people in rural ministry."
