Wed., Sept 5—McPherson college formally begins the term's work this morning with three new instructors included in its faculty.

Prof. Fred A. Replogle, formerly of Chicago, has assumed the duties of Dean and Registrar, two offices merged for the first time at McPherson beginning this fall.

D. from the University of Chicago.

Dean R. E. Mohler becomes Dean of Men and professor of biology, and is also giving some time to work for the Board of Religious Education of the Church of the Brethren at Elgin. Illinois. Prof. J. A. Blair, former Registrar, will devote his full time to teaching in the department, of education and as Director of Practice Teaching.

Prof. Milton S. Dell. B. S., '26. is an alumnus of the college who has taught in the high school at Marion, Kansas, for the last seven years. He is instructor in the industrial arts department, taking the place of Prof. George N. Boone who is working toward his doctor's degree.

FAHNESTOCK HALL TO HAVE MATRON AGAIN

Dormitory Remodeled To Provide Living Rooms

Fahnestock Hall is again to have a matron this year, Mrs. A. J. Voran having been secured for the position. The dormitory has been slightly remodeled to provide living quarters for Mr. and Mrs. Voran, who will see to the needs of the men such as repairing clothing, giving medical aid, and keeping order in general.

The former double parlor of the building has again been divided, and the part remaining will be used as a social and recreation room for the men, and a reception room for visitors.

Two other rooms on the first floor have been remodeled and will be used by Mr. and Mrs. Voran.

For the last two years there has been no matron in the men's dormitory.

Y. W. C. A. WOMEN SPONSOR

LITTLE SISTERS AGAIN

Following their usual custom members of the Y. W. C. A. have again been assigned the freshman girls who are to be their “Little Sisters" this year. Thus the students who are new to their college environment have someone to help them with their problems and make them feel at home at M. C.

This arrangement is especially advantageous to the parties concerned as it allows the freshmen to become oriented more quickly to their new surroundings and gives members of the upper classes a chance to make acquaintance at once with their fel-low students.

The way to get ahead is to make yourself more useful than the other fellows; the kind of job you'll have five years from now depends on the way you handle the one you have.

TWO OF INSTRUCTORS

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS LOOKING EXCELLENT

75 Pounds More In Line Than Last Year’s Team

EIGHT LETTER MEN BACK

33 Men Report At First Practice—

Over 40 Expected

Monday. Sept. 7 — Seventy-five more pounds in the line than last year was promised this evening by Coach Binford after the 1931 season's first workout.

With an average weight of I58 pounds, last year’s team labored under one of the greatest handicaps known to the game. But with the material now reporting for drill not only will the line have more weight, but the first squad average will approximate 170 pounds.

The addition of this weight and the return of all the eligible letter men of last year furnish the back-ground for optimism. Johnston and Mowbray, centers; Countryman and Keck, Captain, guards; Hockstrasser and Ohmart, ends: Zinn and Binford, backfield, are all reporting letter men. Bowman, Minear, and Sorenson of the reserve squad are back. Enough new men reported this evening to make a total of 33 with a squad of 40 expected on the field by the end of the week.

FIRST C. E. MEETING OF YEAR A VESPER SERVICE ON CAMPUS

A group of more than 40 students met on the campus west of the library 6: 30 P. M. Sunday, for a vesper service. The program was in charge of Genevieve Christ. The program consisted of group singing, prayer, reading of poems, special music, and a talk by Dean R. E. Mohler, on "The College Student and Religion. " The program was concluded by another mixed quartet number. The quartet members were Vera Flora, Gulah Hoover, Posey Jamison and Vernon Rhoades.

TOTAL TUES. NIGHT IS 126

Upper Class Members Tardy in Enrolling.

Tues., Sept. 8- Although students this year seem to be rather tardy in attending to their enrollment, indi-cations are that the the attendance at McPherson College will be about normal despite the economic condi-tion prevailing at the present time.

While definite figures on enrollment are not yet available, a ton-tative checkup revealed that sixty-six Freshmen had already completed the process of enrollment. This amount does not include a large number whose cards for various rea-sons have not yet reached the busi-ness office it is expected that the total for the Freshman class will climb close to the one hundred mark, which will be considerably larger than usual.

Members of the upper classes had in most cases, not yet completed enrollment today.

Excluding a large number of spe-cial students in music and art. 126 persons have gone through the nec-cessary enrollment, and the number will doubtless continue to grow throughout the week.

BIG WATERMELON FEED TO BE FRIDAY EVENING

Games And Entertainment Al-so—“Y" Groups Have Charge

On next Friday evening, at seven o'clock, will occur the big annual all-school and watermelon feed sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A.

Following a number of group games conducted by Coach Binford there will be a short program of en-tertainment, and then will come the main feature of the evening. It is assured that there will be enough watermelon on hand to give every-one present all he can eat.

This social is an excellent means of creating acquaintance among stu-dents and faculty members, and it us hoped that every person connected with the College will be there.

TWO IMPORTANT OFFICES

LEFT VACANT THIS FALL

Two important offices in the College have been left vacant by the failure of those chosen in the spring elections to return to McPherson this fall.

Max O'Brien, Burr Oak, Kansas, has decided to attend K. S. A. C. at Manhattan this year, thus nessesitat-ing choice of another men's cheer leader, and Vernon Flaming, Hillsboro, Kansas, who was elected treas-urer of the Student Council, will be enrolled in K. C. at Lawrence.

Besides these several offices in classes and other organizations will soon need to be filled.

On Saturday, September 5, at the Methodist Episcopal Church, Miss Lela Hultqvist, daughter of Mrs. Minnie Hutlqvlst of McPherson, be-came the bride of Rev.

Mrs. Booth graduated from McPherson college in 1929 and is well known in McPherson and on the

How small of all that human hearts endure That part which kings or laws can cause or cure. —Samuel Johnson.

At Elgi,. Illinois, they found the dear old Chevy, the companion of their joys and sorrows for the glimmer, which Dan West out of the kindness of his heart had let them use. And here came their first experience with a reverse, a forboding of greater ones to come, for their baggage didn't arrive until three-thirty and they were to meet the train of the boy's team from Man-chester college, who were to be their comrades and protectors over the mountains, at a place two hundred and sixty miles away, that evening. That Chevy, as so many of its tribe, had its peculiarities and since neither were extremely proficient drivers, there were many amusing experiences before they "got on to that grabby dutch. " Probably more than,

en drivers" as they "ran stop light after stop light. "

Of course they had both been rather worried as to what the boys would be like, but they found out the next, morning that they had not been the only ones concerned, but that the boys had lain awake most of the night wondering and speculating about the girls.

And so they started for Philadelphia via Washington, D. C. with one girl in each car. But before long

Did you know that the Washington police were actually on the lookout for Mildred? This is how it hap-

In some way or other the two cars became separated about two hundred miles from Washington. Not knowing what else to do both parties kept on—hoping to find each other in the Capital. But of course they did not! Now to be lost with a boy you bad only known twenty-four hours isn't any joke, but when you have no clothes besides the overalls you were wearing, in a fashionable city like Washington, it ceases to be even funny. That was Lillian's pre-dicament. Mildred was a little better off for she had all the clothes with her, but on the other hand had, almost no money. Lillian and her companion thought that they had a clever idea when they notified the police department, but all in vain, for the other two stayed so close to the Y. M. all day that the police could not find them, in fact they were destined not to meet until they reached Haverford college. In the suburbs of Philadelphia. And then what a reunion there was!

derful. There were about one hundred and thirty-five people there

States and even some from abroad. There they had the privilege of hearing and learning to know such outstanding men as Roy Newton, head of the conference; Leighton Richards, a noted minister from England; Frederick Libby, the pacifist; Rufus Jones, the great mystic; Bishop McConnell, recently home from India; Parker T. Moon, the historian; and Norman Thomas, who needs no comment. Our two caravaners posed as Communists, for argument’s sake, but later in the sum-mer reaped their reward when they were accused of being Reds, and denied a meeting.

And so in the last days of June they found themselves on Kansas soil again, and Kansas wheat and sunflowers looked mighty good to them. And then began the real work of the summer. For ten weeks they were to go out and preach the gospel of peace in the highways and byways, in fact any place where a few could be assembled to listen. But meetings at first were hard to get, for Kansas farmers were so busy that for a time it was thought that they would have to ride around on the binders with them. But condi-tions improved and all in all they had about sixty-five meetings.

During the summer they were treated most kindly—although some ministers did seem to have a fear that they wanted to take their con-gregations away from them. During

had to stay in hotels only twice, and the rest of the time kind-hearted people looked out for someone's wandering daughters. But the end

the season was vastly different from the beginning. The last three nights, the forsaken damsels had to sleep in the car along the road, and in the midst of their sufferings thought surely God had forsaken them; at least it taught them the value of a good soft bed. Dear old ladies talked constantly of how brave they were to travel around by them-selves that they began to feel positively heroic: one sweet soul wondered what they would do if they met with a highwayman. To be truthful the girls did too, but "never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you” was their motto.

One day they talked to a group of Rotarians and in honor of their guests the men wished to sing some special songs. "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" and “My Wild Irish Rose" were the songs selected as suitable.

And so the summer flew by on mounted wings and before they knew it, it was time to cease activities. The Chevrolet, which had sometimes behaved so nicely, but had often failed in a time of crisis, is safely stored in a McPherson garage. And the girls? They returned home, then went back to school.

Only two classes of men never change; the wisest of the wise and the dullest of the dull.—Confucius.

THE DOPE BUCKET

These new fellows comprising the added weight of the Bulldog pigskin chasers may need all the beefsteak they can beg, buy, steal, or borrow whan they finish with a couple hours or play with the harmless appearing charging sled that Coach has con-structed for the special benefit of the linemen, with special privileges with it for the back field men upon occasion.

Some of the men who think they have met some solid lines will feel at home with the padded posts that have appeared north of the campus for the amusement of the football squad. The posts have the advantage however of not pushing back or slugging and none of them yet has ever been accused of deliberately planting a set of cleats In someone's complexion.

For those who cannot, engage in the major sports of the college there is always the chance of a Freshman helping out by forgetting his cap and thus furnishing exercise for the needy upper-classmen. When evolu-tion has produced the perfect man perhaps this relle of barbarism will disappear. Until this occurs, however. our advise to the Freshman is to keep those sun-bonnets parked right where they will continue to be most useful.

Someone has sold to the Freshmen or the class of "35 caps enum-

eraled with the emblem of the class of '36. The inference seems to be that they're so dumb It will take them five years to finish. The Freshman out of gratitude should purchase for the responsible party one of these Chinese counting sticks, which allows you to add sums up to ten by simply sliding little wood

We intend to BEAT THOSE SWEDES, and BEAT THEM BAD!

Poetry is sometimes considered the occupation of sentimentalist; but Its real function is to furnish one more way of expressing our emotions, ideas, and personalities.

in the Poetry magazine, Miss Harriet Monroe prints each month the

quotation from Emerson, "To be

great poets there must be great

audiences too." There is no more

appreciative and intelligently critical group in any field than tha composed of the amateurs. Almost

every spectator at an athletic con-

test who intelligently understands it. does so because he puts himself in place of the players, and becomes an "amateur".

College students can write poetry, and often do—then they allow it to lie hidden in some file or box. To prove that students can produce interesting poetry even if it does not lift us to the heights of the masters, we are going to include in this column some of the work of students

And any time that you feel in the mood to ride the winged horse, obey your mood, Give us the result: we would be pleased to regularly give you an opportunity to add to your cindifence and experience in this additional field of expression.
