FINAL SCORE: 28-56

Binford and Dedrick Lead With 13 Points Apiece

Fri., Jan. 8—The Wichita university cagers of the Central Conference

vention Hall court tonight by a score of 56 to 28.

McPherson jumped into an early lead and ran the count up to 10 points to the opponents' 4 in the early part of the game. Wichita rallied and began to sink many of their shots but at the half McPherson was still leading by a scant margin of 16 to 13.

In the second half the Wichitans opened up with a brilliant passing attack and some accurate shooting which soon put them into a substantial lead and clinched the game for

Binford for the Bulldogs and Ded-rick, Wichita’s flashy forward were tied for highest honors in points made as each chalked up four field goals and four free throws for a total of 12 points. The Bulldogs displayed good team work, and especially in the opening minutes of the game showed a great improvement over previous playing this season.

Both coaches substituted freely in the last half to find effective com-binations. Wichita used two completely separate teams at different periods of the contest.

D. A. CRIST SPEAKS

TO COLLEGE STUDENTS

Quinter Pastor Takes "Beauty" as Subject of Talk

Mon., Jan. 4— Rev. D. A. Crist, pastor of the Church of the Brethren

McPherson college student body this morning at the first chapel service of the new year. His subject was

"Beauty. "

The speaker built his talk around the passage from the Bible contain-

holding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into his likeness. " After calling attention to the univer-sal love of beauty, he stated that the Creator especially loved beauty, and therefore made beautiful things to place in the world. The perfection of nature, created by God, is contrasted with the imperfection of manmade things.

Rev. Mr. Crist said that sin and every form of ugliness always leaves its mark, while on the other hand a life full of beautiful thoughts and deeds results in both outward appearance and inward character which commands the love and respect of others.

The way of the transgressor is well written up.

George Bryan Speaks on Right to Live Own Lives

LOOKS TO GENEVA MEETING

“Unless something can be done to halt the progress of militarism and competitive armaments, our civiliza-tion is destined to fall. '' This was the gist of a summarizing statement made by Dr. A. W. Cordier, internationally known speaker and writer who conducted four meetings in McPherson on Saturday and Sunday, January 9 and 10, relative to the

Dr. Cordier, now professor of His-tory at North Manchester college, is an authority on international conditions, especially those concerned with Europe. After life graduation from the University of Chicago he traveled extensively in Europe with Sherwood Eddy, and lived there for several years. He is the author of a history of Europe. From June, 1930 to April, 1931, he made his Home at Geneva, Switzerland, studying the trend of international events.

Sunday morning Dr. Cordier spoke at the College Church, on the subject of “Facing the Disarmament issue. " He outlined the significant factors in the present European situation, and their bearing on the

The nations to which he gave most attention were France, Germany, England, and Italy, also telling briefly of the influence of the United States, Russia, and Japan on what is to be done at Geneva.

He said that the United States had lost her chance to to the dominating force in the conference by her failure to provide a strong leadership for the U. S. delegation. England instead will take the lead, under the strong direction of Premier Ramsey MacDonald, a pronounced pacifist. This leadership, Dr. Cordler said, will be one of the main hopes of the Con-ference. Other aids to success are the wide spread public support of those desiring to make the meeting a success, and the improved technique developed through the League of Nations for bringing about settlement of international problems.

The speaker also told, of the hindrances to the success of the conference, saying that the forces of peace and militarism are about equally divided, and it remains to be seem which way the balance will swing.

Besides the meeting at the Church of the Brethren, the speaker con-dueted meetings at the Methodist Church and the Christian Church while in McPherson.

He was brought to the city by the McPherson County Peace Committee, of which President V. F. Schwalm is one of the leaders.

ATTENTION ARNOLD HALL VISITORS


Arnold Hall is the only home most of the college girls have during the winter. Each girl has her own room; but in order that we may feel more at home a parlor has bean provided with a few homelike furnishings. The girls welcome their boy friends in this parlor and wish them to feed as much at home as they would if they could entertain them in their own home. We want the boys to feel free to come at appropriate times any time they wish. We want to have good times together.

We feel, however, that some people are abusing the privilege. If guests come into our homes, we expect them to respect our furniture, refrain from pounding the piano if they are not musically trained, avoid throwing things at other of our guests or at ourselves. It is not considered good form to pull rugs, hurl chairs, hold or slam doors, shout and yell, sing at the top of one's voice, nor hold wrestling matches in a home. Since the dormitory is our home, we dislike to see it abused and these things done there. Many of us resent the rudeness of our otherwise welcome guests.

Many of the girls, rather than become a part of the Bedlam which is held after each meal, go to their own rooms. If more congenial good times could be experienced in the parlor they would be glad to participate We dislike to bring strange friends here because of the fear of being em-barrassed by the conduct of fellow students. Many of us have been embar-rassed when our friends called us over the telephone because of the yelling, impromptu serenades, and unnecessary noise which has made conversing difficult or has been forced upon the ears of the waiting person.

We maintain the same attitude towards similar conduct in the dining ball. We wear clothes as good as we can afford and attempt to keep clean and neat. If for no other reason than that cleaners do not clean our clothes for nothing, we feel we have a right to object to the throwing of food and water. We feel that college students should have nearly reached maturity and should now, if ever, be ready to lay aside childish tricks such as pouring water down table clothes, throwing things, slacking up dishes in prechrious positions, shoving chain and pounding glasses unnecessarily and acting like starved beasts while eating. We have our regular places assigned and it is vexing to find a group taking possession even though we were there in plenty of time.

We admire courteous gentlemen, and we enjoy clever jokes and good times; but most emphatically, we do not approve of the boorish and infantile conduct of some few people who force their crudities upon us in our own home. We appeal to all upper and lower classmen alike, to maintain some standards of culture and refinement. —E. S.


MODEL AWARD GOES TO AMERICANS


Announcement that the Nobel Peace Prize for 1931 has been awarded to two Americans, Jane Addams and Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, has re-ceived general applause in the United States. These two widely known workers in the cause of World Peace have done a vast amount both in this country and on an international scale toward the advent of a warless world.

Seventy-year-old Jane Addams is perhaps the best known woman in America. Through the establishment of Hull House in Chicago she has  been able to render monumental service to the unfortunates of that city, and has reached out to more distant points with her program of social welfare. She has announced that her share of the Nobel prize money, which amounts this year to $40, 000, is to be devoted to the work of the Women's International League for Peace, of which she has been president for the last fifteen years.

la addition she is chairman of the International Committee of Women for Permanent Peace, and four different times she presided over the international convection of the International Congress for Women—In 1915, 1919, 1921, and 1922. She is the author of two widely read books on peace. "Now Ideals for Peace, " and "Peace and Bread. "

Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university is one of the world’s active loaders in the advancement of ihe ideals of peace. He had much to do with the persuasion of Andrew Carnegie to found the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, of which he is now presi-dent. Dr. Butler is famous as a writer and speaker, and his untiring efforts in this cause have certainly earned for him a share of the Nobel award.

LOOKING TOWARD GENEVA

All who heard Dr. A. W. Codier in his masterly discussions of the Pease Problem in relation to international events are convinced of the seriusness of the situation, as the time draws near for the most significant international event since the close of the World War. The eyes of the world are turning to Genova where representatives of all leading nations are gathering for the World Peace Conference.

As Dr. Cordier pointed out, there are many factors which will crop up in the progress of the conference as hindrances to effective and whole-some accomplishment, but there are also other forces working for peace which will be more potent in this meeting than in any which has preceded it. It remains to be seen what the outcome is to be.

Meanwhile it behooves every person who is interested in the mainten-ance or the destruction of civilization to watch, the progress of the Geneva Conference. If he wants the world to preserve what it has attained in the last several hundred years, he will lend his support in every way possible to the success of such conferences as this. If he wishes himself, big friends, his property, perhaps the major part of our present civilization, to be destroyed in another terrible war, he can remain passive or antag-onistic to such efforts toward World Peace.

TRANSFORMATION

From a drab and weak landscape into a fairyland of marvelous beauty —so was the M. C. campus transformed last week with the advent of a blanket of snow. Especially did the evergreens scattered about the grounds display rare artistic effects when laden with the white decorations. More

than one camera was called into use so that students might retain perma-nently a glimpse of the scene in an unusual setting.

While cold and snow bring suffering and hardship to many, they bring also beauty such as can be seen at no other period of the year. Perhaps snow is the all-wise Creator's method of dressing up the earth in its "Sunday Clothes" and displaying the full value of its charm, to mortals.

AHA! HERE'S SOME ADVICE FOR THE FINISHED

PRODUCTS Of THE M. C. MATCH FACTORY


To those of you who have food contemplations of married life we are offering these bus of wisdom for you to ponder over and weigh most carefully. Even these sagacious faculty friends might think twice about some of this foolish advice before lightly casting it aside. And you innocent ones who are merely trying to snare some member of the other sex and don't know yet what it all entails, ah, to you this is dedicated most whole-heartedly and with the deepest sympathy.


INSIDE INFORMATION, FOR WOMEN ONLY


The advent of Leap Year brings about a time when the majority of college woman ought to at least be keeping their eyes open. If they are not actually in search of some unsuspecting victim on whom they can turn loose their alluring charms with a view of making a conquest of his heart.

Therefore we submit some information about several young gentlemen, six to be specific, who are capital prospects for the matrimonial snare.

These young men are very desirable as husbands for many reasons, but the thing which especially recommends them at present is the fine training they are getting for future family life in the form of actual housework, cooking, sewing, laundering, and all the other things in which a woman could very easily use some help from her husband. Living in a suite of rooms at the college farm, they have been doing their own housekeeping now for over four months, and as far as we can see they aren't especially this and weak from their own cooking.

'Tis said there is system in their activity, for two of the number are delegated each week to do the cooking, while the other work is apportioned in like maimer. And we would be willing to bet that they are doing a better job of “batching" than many a woman could get credit for. Perhaps the fact that all of the group came from the Kansas plains in and near Quinter is some explanation of their resourcefulness in doing things for themselves.

Therefore, girls, don’t overlook this opportunity for exercising your traditional Leap Year privilege.


are from 100 to 200 years old. A large percentage of the inhabitants are foreign and speak foreign languages, mostly French. Other factors which the speaker mentioned were the extensive manufacturing industries, the system of education, and the many interesting spots of histor-ic interest which he visited.


MOHLER LIKENS SOILS

TO HUMAN PERSONALITY


Both Are Unproductive Through Lack of Cultivation


Tuesday, Jan. 5—"Soil and Hu-man Personality” was the topic dis-cussed by Dean R. E. Mohler in the regular meeting of the Y. M. C. A. this morning. In his talk Dean Mohler compared human personality with soil in many respects.

He staled that there are soils that took as if they are productive hut are not because there is one thing lacking— that you cannot always tell What a soil will do by its looks. The same is true in people. There are some people who do not have such an attractive first appearance but after acquaintance they prove to he very rich in personality.

Dean Mohler compared soils that are unproductive with human personalities which are also unproductive. One reason might be lack of cultivation, while in personality it would be lack of education. Second, trying to grow wrong crops on that soil gives poor results, and choosing the wrong thing to do in life makes for unproductiveness. Thirdly, in some instances both soils and personality are unproductive because they are misunderstood.

A last reason for unproductiveness was that the soil might be poisoned, while a personality might also bo unclean and poisoned

As a concluding statement be said that you cannot destroy a soil; and the same is true with life. “Life is

Many Historic Spots Visited By Professor During Holidays


please don’t accuse us of attempting to make you believe that this is original with us for we are not experienced enough in matters of this kind ourselves to endeavor to help out some poor benighted victim. But we do like to incorporate other people's inspiration into philosophical dissertations of our own.

If a battle is the prerequisite for acquaintanceship, some few individuals on this campus ought to feel as though they had known each other all their lives. Here is where we got the idea for that, "'A newly married pair are like two small boys—they never feel really acquainted, until after they've bad their first battle. "

“Men grow too old to dance, too old to work, too old to play—but never too old to brighten up and straighten their neckties, when they

“This may not be a sentimental world, yet the Kingdom of Sheba is remembered chiefly because its queen bad a flirtation with Solomon; ancient Egypt, for Cleopatra's affair with Marc Antony, and mighty Troy because of Helen’s elopement with Paris. ”

“For a man may be the backbone of virtue, yet seem more like a bread-crumb down the neck or a wrinkle in the heel. "

“Lo, he that lingereth in the speakeasy, while the dinner groweth cold causeth his wife to resort to henna before her time, " and “he that counteth her calories, censoreth her lip-rouge and ordaineth, the length of her skirts and the height of her evening gowns is as a starched towel to the face. "

“Does a woman really regard a football clutch, a primitive clinch, and a few savage kisses as ‘love-making’? ’’

“If you have never been loved by an idealist, you don’t know what heaven is. If you have never been married to one, you don’t know what the other place is! ” And "An idealist can make a purgatory of life for everybody around him while he is working blissfully for a Utopia somewhere over in Abyssinia or Mespota-

“And there is the philandering

husband, who regards marriage as a parking space, where he can leave a woman until he gets through playing around and is ready to go home nights. ”

“A man doesn’t walk deliberately into marriage with his eyes wide-open; he just stumbles into it, or skids into it, or is shoved into it, when be is off his guard, or in a softened mood, or feeling sorry for himself. ”

“A man, unlike a woman, never bothers about whether his wedding or his funeral will be beautiful or not; probably because he knows that at both of them, he’ll be totally un-conscious.

"The sleep of the just may, be sweat, but, from our observation, it is usually the unjust who sleep serenely until noon, while the 'just’ are down town working for a living. ’’

“After a few years of marriage, a woman can see right through a man without looking at him; and a man can look right through a woman without seeing her," and “As far as a bachelor is concerned, every woman is a prisoner at the bar, who is guilty at being after him, until she proves herself innocent. "

"Hints to ex-husbands: A woman never shoots, as long as the alimony is coming in."

"At sixteen every girl believes se-cretly that she was 'just made for love.' Later, she discovers, to her chagrin, that she was just made for stenography, manicuring, — or darning socks and washing dishes. " "An old-fashioned girl s one who bursts into tears instead of into profanity; when her shoulder-strap breaks, her car bulks, or a man makes her furious," and "An old-fashioned girl is one who would rather get her hair rumpled and her face scorched hanging over a gas range for a young and attractive husband than get her marcel spoiled and her rouge rubbed off trying to gold-dig a middle aged play-boy." And happily, most of the girls at McPherson are old-fashioned.

“If you find it hard to wax romantic about the Boy Friend in his new derby hat, just remember that your grandmother loved your grandfather, in spite of a full heard, suspenders and rod flannels. Love is like that! ”

"If a man would only let go and enjoy the sensation, when he feels himself falling in love, as a woman does, he would discover that marriage, like ether, is much easier to take when you don’t struggle against it."

“If you are single, you have to sit around and wait, for a man to stop talking about himself and go home, nights. And if you are married, you have to sit up and wait for him to come home, nights. So you don’t get much sleep, either way. "

“Kisses used to be given, taken, stolen or exchanged; now, they are just passed around like bonbons or cigarettes and you help yourself."

“Love is as hard to diagnose as a cold. You never know how or when it started, whether is is serious or superficial, or just how long it will last." And we consider that a pretty  good one to quit on.

20TH CENTURY TO RE SPIRITUAL SAYS DEAN

Replogle Calls for Active Minds to Match Our Problems

Wed., Jan. 6—Dean F. A. Replogle, in this morning’s chapel address, stated that every thing must count, in an interrelated society like we are living in today. Dean Replogle said that, this century has been prophesied to be a century of great advancement for the Spiritual, and that it is up to us to help bring this about. The last century was one in which the physical sciences made the greatest advancements; but this is now a new type of world and things are changing.

Dean Replogle stated that we need to meet the new world of today in a different mind and have a different purpose than was hold in the old world of yesterday. Are we developing the type of mind that is needed to meet the new world or are we going to be deficient in some part and not be able to meet the different situations as they exist? He said that it is for us to choose which way we shall go or what we will do in this now type of world. Are we going to be those who help make the New World or are we just going to live in it?

“What s needed in 1932 is minds to match our problems, " stated Dean Replogle. We must develop active, expanding minds. Then we need a plan for our minds and our thinking: a plan for our lives, because the success of our work is going to be measured by what we do. While in college we should gain light in some way to find out what we shall make our venture into life.

HERSHEY TELLS OF TRIP TO “CRESCENT CITY”

Mon., Jan. 11—New Orleans, the “Crescent City, ” was described this morning in the chapel service in a most interesting manner by Dr. J. Willard Hershey. His talk was based on observations made on his trip to New Orleans between Christmas and New Year’s Day.

After speaking briefly concerning the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, in which he had a part, Dr. Hershey, told many interesting facts about the historic city.

New Orleans is called the "Cres-cent City" because of a wide bend in the Mississippi River as it flows through the city. The population is only a half million, but the area of the town is nearly as large as that of Chicago. New Orleans was founded in 1718, and many of the buildings

PESSIMISM

Nothing to do but work.

Nothing to eat but rood.

Nothing to wear but clothes,

To keep one from going nude.

Nothing to breathe but air.

Quick as a flash 'tis gone; Nowhere to fall but off,

Nowhere to stand but on.

Nothing to comb but hair.

Nowhere to sleep but in bed, Nothing to weep but tears,

Nothing to bury but dead.

Nothing to sing but songs,

Ah, well, alas! alack! Nowhere to go but out,

Nowhere to come but back.

Nothing to see but sights,

Nothing to quench but thirst, Nothing to have but what we've got Thus through life we are cursed.

Nothing to strike but a gait;

Everything moves that goes. Nothing at all but common sense Can ever withstand these woes.

   —Ben King.

Ah, how good it feels! The hand of an old friend.

—Longfellow.

The Bulldogs have played a number of non-conference games and have improved considerably in these pre-season games.

Loren Rack Is back in the lineup at a forward position after being out of the game for a few weeks with an injured thumb. Rock is a two-letter men and his presence in the lineup strengthens the team considerably.

The Bulldogs open the conference season Friday night at Baldwin with baker university furnishing the opposition. The Wildcats generally have a good team and this year will probably prove to be no exception. Baker defeated McPherson twice last year by small margins and the Bull-dogs will be out for revenge Friday night.

On the night following the Baker game the Canines will oppose the Kansas City Athletic Club In Kansas City. The K. C. A. C. has a fast traveling quintet composed of farmer college and university stars. These will make two hard games on successive bights for the Bulldogs.

BULLDOGS NOW READY FOR K. LOOP SCHEDULE

Begin on Baker in Game at Baldwin Friday Night

With five pre-season encounters out of the way. Coach Binford's Battling Bulldogs are now ready to begin on the regular Kansas Conference schedule. Baker university of Baldwin is to be the first adversary, in a game there Friday night.

Besides the eight games slated between conference teams McPherson fans can count on seeing several oth-

The games played this far have been with several of the strongest teams of Kansas. Although McPher-son has not been able to turn in winning scores thus far, the showing made against these quintets indicates a steadily improving type of playing which is far from discouraging as the Bulldogs enter the following conference schedule;

INFLUENZA HITS CAMPUS

Arnold Hall and Fahnestock Hall have been invaded by an epidemic of "flu” which is taking its toll of victims. Among those affected during the last week are Othetta Clark, Velma Keller, Nellie Collins, Evelyn Heiny, Louise Ikenberry, Edith Bech-telhelmer, Harold Binford, Hobart Hughey, and Harvey Shank.

LEADS THE BULLDOGS

CAPTAIN POSEY JAMISON, stel-lar guard for the last two years on the McPherson basketball team, who for the second successive year is leading the team as captain. Jamison's outstanding characteristic is his coolheaded, consistent playing. Opposing forwards find it hard to get around him for shots at the basket. His judgment and knowledge of basketball insure the Bulldogs of efficient direction in their games this year.

FELIX MANLEY SPEAKS

ON CREATIVE LIVING

Outlines Ten Steps Toward the Creative Life

Tues., Jan. l2-“"Ten Steps Toward Creative Living" was the subject of a very instructive and inspirational talk given at the Y. M. C. A. meeting this morning by Felix Manley, well known Y. M. C. A. leader who was on the McPherson campus earlier this year. He was president of the Kansas university Y. M. C. A. last year, and was chairman of the Estes Park Y. W. —Y. W. Conference held last summer.

Mr. Manley gave some facts attributed to "Dad" Elliot, who said that there are four types of college men: three per cent are viscious, and seventeen per cent are too sophisticated to hold out much hope; seventy per cent are indifferent, and the remaining ten per cent are men who are really concerned about something. The speaker emphasized the importance of forming habits of living early in life.

He spoke briefly of each of the following steps toward creative living as outlined by Kirby Page; 1. Budget your time. 2. Explore the realm of silence. 3. Participate in corporate worship. 4. Live in the presence of beauty. 6. Pitch your friendships an high levels. 6. Read great biogra-phies. 7. Pluck out the offending eye. 8. Prepare for a creative life. 9. Get under the load of human need and lift. 10. Resolutely run risks and live dangerously.

DR. J. D. BRIGHT GOES

TO HISTORY CONVENTION

Held December 28 to 30 at Minneapolis Minn.

Dr. J. D. Bright of the history department spent a part of his Christmas vacation attending the meetings of the American History Association, which lasted from December 28 to 30. The sessions were held in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Mr. Carl Becker of Cornell gave the presidential address. About six hundred persons registered for the convention.

The programs consisted largely of papers written concerning some phase of history — many of them delving into some new angle of that field.

DEAN REPLOGLE SPEAKS TO Y. W. C. A. JANUARY 5

fallings and problems of men and women.

Dean Replogle declared that men and women are psychologically much alike. Practically everyone who cannot do a thing well will say, "I can't do that, but I do this very well. " In this way people try to excuse them-selves and to elevate themselves in the eyes of other people. Another method commonly used to serve the same purpose is to exaggerate the faults of others and thereby try to minimize one's own.

"Wish-thinking" it quite all right until this type of thinking becomes the central figure in life and then it's only harmful because the individual uses all of his energy wishing for something and does nothing to real-ize the dream.

"Criticizing everything demoralises the mind. ”



Tues., Jan. 5—Evelyn Heiny, after reading the devotions. Introduced Dean F. A. Replogle as the speaker in Y. W. C. A. meeting this morning. He talked concerning some common
