"Antepodes, an old play published in 1640, is the oldest collector's item in my collection of old plays and books,” says Peter Coulson, assistant professor of literature and drama at McPherson College.

"Theater, drama is my natural interest, began as a hobby in London, England, while on leave from the army,” Mr. Coulson

said.

"The basement of an old book store on Bond Street (The Myers Co. Ltd.) revealed many o 1 d items ridiculously cheap” remarked Mr. Coulson, “and since then I have received a number of items from them by mail."

Mr. Coulson indicated dealers in Los Angeles and Hollywood also handle out of print items.

“Another item, a first edition of Jeremy Collier’s book "A Short View of the Immorality and Profanes of the English Stage," published in 1698, is famous in theater history because of its controversial issues,” said Mr. Coulson.

John Dryden wrote a public apology for his participation in creating a need for such a book and started a reform movement in morals of the stage.

TV Station Information

By Fans. Foley, and Harris

As we all know, television is an important leak in the dike of

education. But as we see it, television fails to measure up to the mental standards of the average college student.

Television experts say that most programs are beamed at the thirteen year - old level. So to meet the desperate need.

Dear Mom.

Well, here I am back at Mac.

I can tell that it is Mac by the complaining about the cafeteria. I do not say that I have not done my share either because I have complained along with everyone else.

But I, for one. intend to stop. I have complained enough. We all have to beef about something guess, but most of us carry it too far and really. It is not as bad as we make it sound.

Even if a situation is bad complaining about it will not help. A little constructive criticism is much better than complaining. Complaining only builds resent ment and conflicts that need not be.

I wonder what would happen if everyone would say a word of praise for a good point when they feel about ready to beef about a bad one? A little praise has been

Pondering With The President

Give Thought To This

Recently I ran across a statistical listing which indicated that there are actual financial benefits to making up your mind early in your college career concerning what you would like to do in life.

This study indicated that the students who, as freshmen, knew what they wanted to do and began to prepare in that direction, later in life earned an average of more than $100 per month more than a student who made up his mind as an under classman. The ones who made up their minds as seniors averaged least of all.

This indicates that if you can decide what you want to do and start working seriously toward that end early in your college career it will pay off, not only in peace of mind and greater enjoyment of your studies while you are in college, but it will pay off also in many thousands of dollars during your earning years.

Financial rewards are not the only rewards of working, however. In fact, in my judgment, they are among the lesser rewards. But to have a purpose for being in college, to be preparing for a worthwhile goal, to be making a worthwhile contribution when you are through college, all of these add to one s continual day by day joy of living.

Do you have a goal ? If not, why not talk to other students and to one of your college teachers or administrators about it? There are a lot of things waiting to be done that are worthwhile.

You are needed.

Praise Is Urged Instead Of Criticism At Macollege

known to do wonders.

These people down here are all college age and as such you think that they would realize what the score is and remedy the situation. They ought to realize what it Founds like to an outsider.

But, maybe that is too much to ask of college age people. Maybe we just are not mature enough to realize what the score is. I wonder what we would do if we were on the receiving end of the beefing.

I believe we would feel resentment and not really care how we did our job if something about it was always being attacked. But if we were praised a little. I think we would feel like doing a little better.

But I guess that is not for me to say I am just another student who is caught in the web of social pressure and who is finding it hard to keep from following the crowd.

Baker Wildcats To Challenge Bulldogs In Tonight's Game


Bulldogs Romp Over Bethel In 34-0 Conference Opener


Baker University Wildcats will invade the McPherson College Stadium tonight at 7:30. The undefeated Bulldogs will be facing the Wildcats, who have one of the finest lines in the league.

The Baker squad has a fine attack lead by speedster Bill White and sophomore sensation Jim Paramore. Both are good passers.

' Coach Sid Smith, who scouted the Baker-C. of E. game last week, regards the Wildcats highly in view of the fact that they are undefeated and hold a lopsided victory over a fine C. of E. team.

The visitors are expected to run from a short-punt and singlewing formation.

In the series with Baker which began in 1921. the Bulldogs have been victorious only nine times while suffering 20 losses. Three ties have prevailed.

The Bulldogs were blanketed 19-0 in last year’s contest hled at Baldwin. The Wildcats dominated nearly all the way in the game.

The Bulldogs will be out for blood in tonight’s game attempting to seek revenge for last year’s defeat and also to maintain their undefeated status. The Bulldogs will enter tonight's game with a 3-0 win-loss record.

The Macollege Bulldogs defeated'the Bethel Greymaroons 34-0 Saturday night, in Newton, to win their opening Kansas Conference football game of the season.

McPherson showed a strong defense against the much heavier Bethel team, holding the Grey-maroons to 125 yards rushing while piling up 268 yards for themselves.

The Bulldogs drew first blood in the opening quarter on a 23-yard end run by Mac's veteran quarterback. Ken Stucky.

This was followed up in the second quarter by Rich Heide-brecht as he plunged over from the one-yard-line after a 45-yard drive by the Bulldogs.

Dennis Brubaker scored the first of his two touchdowns in the third quarter following another Mac drive. In the same period. Jerry McPherson. 190-pound tackle, picked up a Bethel fumble and raced 25 yards to score.

Gordon Lewis. Mac’s freshman kicker, converted on four out of five extra point attempts.

in the fourth when Bethel fumb


led the ball in the end zone and Brubaker fell on it to score for Mac.

Bethel’s one threat came in the fourth period of play when they had the ball on the McPherson one-yard line, but the Mac defense, made up mostly of re serves at that time, held them there.

What will the friends you make at Macollege be doing 20 years from now? Seven Macollege girls decided before they graduated in 1938 to start a round robin letter which would keep them in touch with each other.

This summer the children of these families met on their own at Lake Junaluska.

Do We Chatter?

By Dick Ferris

Webster defines gossip as: A gossip’s tattle; groundless rumor; also, chatter.

Almost everyone is, and has been in the past, capable of chatter or, to use a better term, idle gossip. On small campuses this type of talk takes place almost more than any other.

The other evening, there was a group of boys sitting in my room and we were talking about different people. Many of the things we said amounted to groundless rumor or idle gossip.

But this is not ture only of the boys' dorm. In the girls' dorm, the favorite topic of conversation may well be the boy who has taken them out on a date that same evening.

I think that those who listen to malicious gossip are just as guilty as those who spread it around.

Gossip, idle chatter, is a very dangerous thing. The same point was made in the old story about the Quaker and his dog Tray. "Go to,” said the Quaker to poor Tray. "I will not kill thee, but I will give thee a bad name.”

"And so he turned poor Tray into the streets with the cry of "Mad Dog!" and then someone else did kill poor Tray.

Do you chatter?
