“All Quiet On Thu Western Front” is an “unsparingly realistic account of the lives and deaths of a group of
German boys on the Western front, the reader sense the tragedy of a whole generation blighted by the War"
"War—Behind The Smoke Screen" is a "picture of modern warfare In all Its folty and futility, lt is a ter-rible warning to ecclesiastical sys-teks, which have been all too easily bewitched by a false nationalism.

The all school essay contest "The College Youth and His Worth", closed Friday evening.
5.30. No manuscripts were sub--
mitted.
We regret to say that appar-ently such a contest is not the desire of the students. It may have been that the contest came
to a close during examination week. It may have been that the cash prizes were not large enough to warrant a student en-tering.
Many students made inquiries about the contest and expressed their desire to compete- evi-dently their desires did not ma-terialize — We thank you.

A happy life is our goal according to Murlin Hoover. We may attain it by three methods:
The first is through freedom —to search for truth and to do creative thinkingc.
The second Is through a vonture-some spirit—-follow where truth leads, uphold right against wrong and dare to serve.
A significant dream of life- a hope In the future, and a proper relation to realiiy is the third. Religion a necessary part of a happy life Is embodied in the relation to reality for it means being a son of God, a brother of men. and the master of nature.
Milton Early showed that Christ lived a happy life for he followed these methods. He therefore becomes our example.

Mon . Nov 11— The new famous oration, fromerly intended merely ,a semester theme and graded at B-, and which receieved the highest honor In our nation in the national orator-tent contest sponsored by the Inter-

livered by its author, John ‘‘Jack” Lehman, as part of the Armistic Day program before the student body

lad.
Mr. Lehman's oration "The Power Of Propaganda" dealt with the in-fluence of the newspaper In bringing about war, "The use of the press and newspaper propaganda is the cause of war”. stated Mr. Lehman. "The Span-Ish-American War was directly the result of newspaper propaganda. We entered the World War as a result of newspaper propaganda".
The theroy was upheld by the orator that the policy of propaganda during the World War was to keep the war spirit before the people "first, last and always.

MONDAY WAS THE ELEVENTH
Eleven years ago Monday the "war to end war" was brought to a close.Was is a "war to end war"? The Allies won the war. the Germans were defeated. Who really knows who won that great catastrophe? Temporary peace is fixed. Is it not up to us to make ir permanent? “Peace on Earth goodwill toward men”.
FOOTBALL IN GENERAL McPHERSON IN PARTICULAR
A few weeks ago a sweeping Indictment of college football was made In a bulletin issued by an Investigating commission of the Casengle foundation for the advancement of teaching. An Investigation covering a period of three and one-half years, found that few colleges and universities are guiltless of the charge of proselyting. Educational Institutions from coast to coast are directly accused of persuading prominent athletes to Attend and of paying these men, directly or Indirectly, for their athletic ability Out of 112 educational institutions visited by representatives of the Carnegie foundation, only 28 were found guiltless of the accusation of subsid-izing athletes.
What could make a greater single blot upon the sports of McPherson College If a fact was brought to light that members of out football team were playing the game as paid players? lt would mean a general commer-cialization of amateur spots. Amateur sports would not be amateur sports. College athletics would become professional The spirit of the limitation would fall, pure and unadulterated sports would become a member of that great tribe of the past—antiquity.
At no times as is generally understood, has there ever been a"Bulldog" athlete who hat not played for his Alma Mater, for the sake of his school spirit, and for the sake of clean unadulterated sports. Are we to keep the name of McPherson College clean and clear from all such "‘pay checks” of material victories over the common cause of modern athletic? Or are we to establish a code of ethics that states: "Do as the other institutions do, play your game on the back of a check book? Put do oilier Institutions pay their athletic heroes? The Carnegie Foundation has states that some colleges pay their athletes.
DAY IS DYING IN THE WEST
Autumn leaves have turned and summer's last gasp in field and wood is echoed throughout the shortening days. The tinted leaves are falling thick and fast, to cover the wrinkled sphere of Mother Earth beneath a carpet of nature's last enduring thrust at summer.
The far fetched absorbing breezes of weeks ago resemble once again the theory of Twice Told Tales of God's most recent quest for life in youth. Summer—the highest peek In one's attainment has triumphed o'er the dream of Spring. And now, once more the harvest season has reached its senith to repeat the feeding of the old. Whose life is spent and wearing out, whose dreams are those of pleasures least forgot, whose hour of sat-isfaction through the grace of God has come.
The hour is drawing near, how fast the fading light is dwindling, how thick the leaves are covering, the very soul of nature has paid its price, has spent its worth. There they are, the spindled frames of blackened arms, their leaves of beauty have departed with the memory of a wonder-ous life. The Ivy vines of climbing beauty cling to the bleak old walls like some mysterious serpren whose life has faded as the superstitious of his
time.
Natures youth is ripe old age is beauty. Heaaty in death. Below the wrinkles of a spent season there is beauty. The text leaf clings as If In hesitated prayer, Its meditated thoughts rush out and meet the darkening sun. Its life is fading. Its beauty renouned . The earth darkens—its billows roar— the wind crashes—the snow files thick—the grip of winter tightens down—the last leaf has fallen. The day Is dying In the west.
THOSE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
On the evening of September 10 the men of Fanestock Hall drew up a number of rules governing study hours and privileges with musical in-struments. At this meeting the men agreed that musical instruments and portables were to be played In the afternoon and In the evening from 10:00 till 10:30. After ten-thirty In the evening musical instruments were not to be heard.
Of late, a visitor in the men's dormitory would be greeted with the melancholy wall of a portable, during the so designated time for text book Meditation Are the reactions of a thought so uncertain and no forethought given in their construction to warrant their being obeyed. Why have a rule, but is it not a duty or privilege instead of a rule. If we will not obey its

STAFF REPORTER MAKES SURVEY OF
KITCHEN, COMPILES STATISTICS
Students Are Compiled
"I just know that old scale isn't any good: Why, I've gained five pounds since yesterday morning: It isn't possib;e, declared the little
freshman blonde.
"Well, I haven't eaten potatoes or bread all week and I weigh three
pounds more than I did", her side-kick replied.
"Oh, those dormitory eats?"
But what about "those dormitory eats"? Just how much do the one
hundres thirty-five students who board on the dormitory eat? Ah, Fair
Muse, grant this pen holder the wisdom of the mathematician, the fore-
sight of the dietcian, and the expression of the rhetorician. How many
calories are required by these pedants (?) and how many are actually
recieved?
Dietician declare that the average
student required between 2300 and
3000 calories of heat per day. (A cal- ories, you know, is the amount of heat required to change the temperature
of one gram of water one de-
gree centigrade). At this rate 135
students need 371,230 calories daily or 2,598,750 weekly Perhaps the following statistics
concerning the food devoured in the dining hall weekly will account for the consumption of a few extra calories
Bread, 280 loaves, 420,000 calories
Biscuits and Rolls, 2800, 210,000
Pickles, 3 gallons
Syrup, 7 gallons 10,500 calories Potatoes, 14 bushels, 253,400 calories
Apples, 7 bushels 89,000 calories Breakfast food, 91 boxes, 24,500 calories.
Meat, 245 pounds, 196,000 calories
Cabbage, 100 pounds 14,700 calories
Pie,50, 50,000 calories
Cake, 8, 17,000 calories
Cookies, 250, 18,750 calories
Catsup, 3 gallons.
Beans, 40 pounds, 12,000 calories
Jello, 18 packages
Lettuce, 20 pounds, 100 calories
Canned Fruit, 24 gallons, 24,000
calories
Oranges, 240. Grape Fruit, 70.
Milk. 140 gallons, 224,000 calories Salt, 14 pounds
Jelly, 5 gallons, 80,000 calories Apple butte, 5 gallons, 80,000 calories
Eggs, 30 dozen, 36,000 calories A total od 2,612,550 calories per week—In say nothing of the spinach,vinegar, cocoa, coffee, chilli crackers and chees! Oh yes, and the between-meals candy bars, occa-cional boxes from home, and pop corn foods.
Nothing is as fluent in convincing as statistics, according to statist-
tians. It is therefore very evident that the 27,800 excess calories taken in by tge 133 dormitory students
( 300 calories per capita per week) together with the pickles, grape fruit abd accessories served to in-
crease the avoidupois of the popu-lation.

Dean R. E.Mohler and Prof. G. N. Boone, appointed by the Alumni As-sociation are working on the possi-blilties of editinh and publication an alumni magazine.
The two men appointed by the as-sociation have been making inquiries among the respective classes and dif-ferent colleges and universities of the nation.
Eight recent classes have been in-formed of the present possibilities of such a magazine. Replies have been recieved from seven of these classes Five were definitely in favor of the magazine. Two were in favor of the association publication but desired to publish their own class paper along with the magazine.
There is practically no question in the minds of those making the inves-tigation that the venture will be a financial success. Prof. Boone states that the roughlt estimates cost of such a magazine with thousand cir-culation would be from four hundred to five hundred dollars a yeae if the
magazine was issued quarterly.
It has been suggested that the editing be in the hands of the secre-tary of the association, directly or
indirectly, and that each graduating class appoint or elect an associate ed-itor, who will be responsible for news from hsi class.
There is a possibility that the alumni association might be able to cooperate with the college manae-ment in one issue of the College Bull-
letin.

Anderson Proves To Be A Yard Gainer For The McPherson Team
Anderson Scores Touchdown For M. C. In The Last Period
Hutchinson. Kan,. Tues, Nov. 5 The McPherson College Reserves
forced the Hutchinson Junior College footbal team down In defeat by a score of 6 to 0 on the local athletic field beneath the powerful floodlights tonight. For the Bulldog Seconds it was a feature game, being their first game with the bright lights and for the Scarlet and Blues it was their first defeat on their own field this season, The young, Bulldogs threatened to score several times but about the time they were ready to carry the ball across the line they found the Salt City team to stiffen their defence enough to turn progress In the other direction. -
The first half of the game was played on about even terms with the McPherson team having a slight ad-vantage but the second half saw the Bulldogs ride all over Hutchinson in every fashion, making nine first downs to their opponents’ none. On the final drive with each team score-less. Anderson, freshman halfback who is showing himself to be a second Nonken, was used to carry the oval for the Canine team, making two 20 yard runs In succession and finally carried it over the line for the touchdown that constituted the margin of victory;
Cecil Anderson, Bradley and Lytle, Bulldog backfielders did most of the halt tugging for McPherson and all showed up well for their first game at night.
they are going to go into the game and make Sterling suffer the most severe punishment they ever received at the hands of a Canine crow. Sterling has been going strong this year. 'They defeated the Swedes In a season's opener this year and Just last week they went to Missouri and defeated the strong Teacher's team at Springfield 21 to 0. The Barrellmak-ers make up a fast travelling: team and when matched against the speedy Bulldogs, a fine array of flashy foot-ball can be promised.
