Choral organizations on the cam-pus are progressing satisfactorily according to Mr. Kevin Fisher, head of the vocal department. A Cappella Choir and Choral club practices are already almost habits.

This put week the Varsity Mule Quartet was chosen by tryouts. Two of the members were in the quartet last year. Gordon Yoder is the bari-tone and Keith Pierce the bass. The new members are Wayne Albright, second tenor, and Wesley DeCoursey, first tenor. Singing in the quartet is no easy matter, for behind each performance are many hours of practice. The quartet rehearses regular-ly for an hour each school day.

The Varsity Male Quartet will make two public appearances within a week. Next Thursday morning they will sing at the Odd Fellows Convention which will he held in McPherson. Then October 15, in the evening, they will appear on the program of the District Brethren Church Conference at Hutchinson.

During the regular practice last Monday night, the Choral Club elecl-ed the following officers: Elizabeth

Ann Mohler, president; Lucille Wade, vice-president; Eldora Miller, secretary and treasurer; and Marian Harshbarger, librarian. The conductor of the club is Frances Campbell and the supervisor is Professor Fisher.

Have you been approached by a member or the S. C. M. cabinet for active participation in and financial support of our campus organization this year? The membership drive is now in full swing—every student should be reached soon.

By means of a merger with the World Service Group and a consolidation of Peace forces, the Student Christian Movement holds a unique position in the school this year. Through its wider interests it seeks to serve every student.

The increased budget must be raised largely by the direct support of those who wish to grow with the

S. C. M. Funds are already coming in, but present proceeds (as reported to the treasurer) are too small to be indicative of the final goal. The S. C. M. is yours! Support it!

Large Ticket Sale Business Manager J. H. Fries announced that there were 320 football season tickets sold by last Friday. This figure is far more that of previous years.

At last we hare had the opportunity of peering beyond the lobby portals of "Ye Olde Fahnestock Hole." And to our surprise the reports of sagging doors, slanting walls, and rotting floors are grossly exaggerated.

Sunday Night Club Planned by Pastor

Rev. Bernard King, a new-found friend of the college students, is presenting a new feature for the Sunday evening services. A Sunday Night Club, featuring a series of talks by outstanding speakers of the college and community, is being organized.

Last Sunday evening Dr. V. F.. Schwalm opened the series with a most inspiring talk on "The Meaning of Freedom". Incidentally, he will give the closing address later in the spring,

Next Sunday evening. October 9, Dr. Claude Flory has chosen as his subject "As lt Is In Heaven." Attendance and enthusiasm of these services has been very gratifying." said Reverend King. "We hope it will continue."

Demos Give Feed To All Students

The McPherson College Young Democrats and the County Young Democrats invite all students to a huge watermelon feed and rally next Thursday evening, October 13. at the college stadium. A huge bon fire will create a festive atmosphere for the evening which starts at 7:00.

The program will include a speech by Mrs. N. L. Hensley of Lindsborg who will review the history of the party and the accomplishments of the present administration. Other prominent young leaders will talk.

The plans for the rally were announced lost night when the College Young Democrats met in the SUR. With Dale Stucky presiding, the program included announcements by Helen Wills, comments by J. H. Fries who showed the place of politics or the campus, a piano solo by Avis Eliot and a talk by Russ Anderson who discussed informatively the present political situation.

Dr. Flory proved to be an interest ing and delightful speaker at the first meeting of the Internationa. Relations Club for the year. After spending the past year in Europe, Dr. Flory was able to give first hand information of the situation now existing in that nation.

After the meeting in the Student Union Room the entire group was invited to the home of Dr. and Mrs. J. D. Bright for tea.

Even those ferocious looking M Club paddles on display didn’t fill us with as much terror. There must have been a balance wheel a little off too: either the clock's or somebody else's.

Bowman To Come

The Religious Emphasis Week of the church and college will be November 11-18. The committee has secured Dr. Warren D. Bowman of Washington, D. C., as speaker. Dr. Bowman is a specialist in the field of personal and family relations.

For a number of years he was pro-fessor of psychology at Juniata College, and at present he is the pastor of the Church of the Brethren in Washington. He is a charming and forceful speaker and is well beloved by the youth of the church for his sympathetic understanding of youth problems. He is the author of Home Builders of Tomorrow.

Mental Health Plays Crucial Part in Life

Emphasizing the universal need for healthy minds, Dean Ida Shockley gave a practical talk in chapel Wednesday morning. Dr. Schwalm led the devotionals, which consisted of a hymn, responsive reading, and prayer.

"Religious faith," declared Miss Shockley, "contributes to mental health" Fear is private enemy No. 1 and should be displaced by faith in order to make life livable. Everyone has to formulaic his own philosophy of life, but no one can afford to reject faith. '

One should have spiritual power, which will help him to try again, a spirit of love, not four-cynicism leads to mental ill health — and a sound mind."

"The people with sound and healthy minds are the ones which have built up the right attitudes. The hope for the future surely lies only in healthy minded people. We should all work toward building up strong, healthy minds."

C. H. Dresher, R. E. Mohler and several college students will spend the latter part of the week at Bluff City, Kansas.

An interesting fossil deposit of a great prehistoric elephant has been discovered near Bluff City. The work of unearthing and restoring the bones will be carried on by Pro-fessor Mohler and his assistants.

The fossil has been loaned to the McPherson College Museum where it will be added to the fine collection of Pre-Historic relics already on display there.

Cordier Recommended Highly By Authority

Dr. Andrew W. Cordier of Manchester College, North Manchester, Indiana, will be on the McPherson College campus October 20 and 31 to lecture on present-day European problems. The faculty feels indeed fortunate to secure this famous lecturer and writer.

Two of Dr. Cordier's lecture subjects will be ’'Germany, The Key to European Peace" and "The Doom of Czechoslovakia." He is well prepared to bundle such topics, for during this last summer’s study in Europe, he visited Germany four or five times and spent ten days in Czechp-slovakia, part of which was devotedCbssted to a visit to the Sudeten area.

While Dr. Cordier is in this part of the country, he win also speak at Friends University at Wichita. Dr. Edwards, president of that institution, in a letter to Dr. Schwalm, stated the following: "I know no man better equipped to interpret world conditions than is Dr. Cord-ier. He is a man of brilliant mind, of profound scholarship, of wide travel, and of constant investigation over a number of years—a background from which the most intelligent interpretation possible may come. It is a privilege that will not often be preseated to a community to hear Dr. Cordier.

Dr. Cordier, who is yet in his thirties, received his M. A. in 1923 and his Ph. D. in 1926 from the University of Chicago. He has been head of the department of history and political science at Manchester College since 1926. He has been a lecturer for Indiana University since 1928 and for five others for a shorter time. He has written several books on European history having gained material first hand by making three trips to Europe.

Hess Says Faith

Needed In Life

Taking as his scripture a portion of the eleventh chapter of Hebrews, the Westminister Abbey of the Bible, Professor Maurice A. Hess stressed in chapel Monday the need for faith in the lives of college stu-dents. He said that in marked contrast to the two times that the word "faith" is menltoned in the Old Tes-tament, it is mentioned 243 times in the New Testament.

"We say we walk by sight, not by faith. We live in a scientific world, one in which it is popular to ridicule faith." said Hess. "I have come to the conclusion that the partial lack of faith which we find in a certain portion of our college stu-dents is due to the stage of transi-tion through which they are passing.

Professor Hess told of attending a Y. M. C. C. conference at which the student ministers spent 75% of their time discussing their doubts, when he thought they should have been discussing what they believed. He pointed out that we can't apply the principles of mathmatics to faith any more than we can apply them to geography. We should hold to faith because it works, rather than because it conforms to certain mathematical principles.

"Whether we realize it or not, we live by faith. The farmer plants his crop in hope that it will produce. The student comes to college with the faith that he will be able to make good in his work. The busi-ness man makes contracts in the faith that he will be able to keep his word. We go to bed at night trusting that we will arise in the

"Fatih stands the pragmatic test because it works .My hope for you is that while you are in college you may develop a living faith," were his concluding remarks.

The Spectator has just received a prophecy of most tragic aspect from the editor of the Quadrangle. The prophecy states flatly that same one will be greatly disappointed next spring when his picture does not appear in the yearbook. His picture will not appear because he did not have his picture taken when request-ed.

If this prophecy does not prove to be true it will mean that everyone has cooperated with the Quadrangle. Won't you please cooperate?

BYPD Offer. New, Varied Program Sun.

New and different is the program for Sunday corning in B. Y. P. D. at 8:30 o'clock in the college Church. The general topic of the evening is the controversial question, "Can I live as I please, or am I the product of other forces?”

Miss Frances Campbell will present the arguments of "I can live as I please" while Leonard Vaughn will maintain, “I am the product of other forces."

Last Sunday evening's program was especially well-recieved when Don Newkirk, chairman of the panel discussion, opened the subject, “Our increasing leisure time and what to do with it." the entire group par-ticipating in the discussion.

Other members of the panel were Wesley DeCoursey, Geraldine Spohn, Richard Burger. Avis Smith, Harold Larsen, and Elizabeth Mohler.

Virginia Kerlin led the devotionals for which Dorothy Braid, accompanied by Lucille Wade, played a Violin solo.

At a recent meeting of the B. Y. P. D. cabinet In Miss Shockley's apartment, the members decided to try to present such programs throughout the year which would help students to understand them-selves, their problems, and the best way to meet the daily obstacles to Christian living.

The girls of Arnold Hall will hold Open House on Saturday evening, October 22, from 8:00 p. m. to 10:00 p. m.

The girls of Kline Hall have also planned to hold Open House but the date has not been definitely deter-mined.

The Forensic Club, in collabora-tion with Debate Coach Maurice A. Hess, set dates for the inter-class debates at a meeting last Tuesday evening.

The debates, held each year to determine the school championship, are scheduled to begin next Tuesday, October 11, when the juniors and seniors tangle for the upperclassmen championship. The seniors choice for representatives are Addison Saathoff and Bill Thompson, who will oppose Margaret Kagrice and Wesley Darrow, in the drawings, the juniors received negative.

One week later the sophomores and freshmen battle for the young-sters cup. The two winners will meet on Tuesday evening, October 25, to determine the championship. The sophomore representatives will be Don Newkirk and Dale Stucky.

In the Tuesday night meeting, the Forensic Club re-elected Bill Thompson president: Ernest Reed

got the nod for vice-president and program chairman: and Joy Smith was chosen secretary-treasurer.

Debate Coach Maurice A. Hess announced Tuesday that the year's debate question has been released by the Pi Kappa Delta. The question. Resolved: that the United

States should cease to use public funds for the purpose of stimula-ting business, is a controversial is-sue and will be of great interest during the coming campaign and elections.

Commenting upon the choice of question. Hess asserted that it will be particularly stimulating because it is partisan and timely. "There are undoubtedly two sides to it," says Hess, who has tutored many state championship teams at McPherson.

The coach is now preparing an extensive bibliography which will soon be available to all candidates, The references and sources will be placed on a reserve shelf in the library.

Debate prospects for the year seem to be fairly bright. All the members of last years men's varsity team, Bill Thompson, Addison Saa-thoff, Donald Newkirk, and Luther Harshbarger, are back in school. Harshbarger. however, may not debate this year.

The only surviving member of the women's varsity, Geraldine Spohn, will become the nucleus of this year's team. Esther Sherfy, who did not debate last year, is a good prospect.

Stephen Stover, and Dale Stucky will be old squad members available for the men's teams. Dwight Horner does not plan to debate this year.

It is not definitely known what strength he freshman class has brought, but to all appearances there will be some promising candidates.

The men's tryout date has been tentatively set for Tuesday night, November l, with the women's tryouts the following afternoon.

Council Gives Tea

For College Girls

Lovely flowers, beautiful tea table, excellent program, and charming ladles all harmonized into a delightful tea for the college girls sunday afternoon, October 2. when they were the guests of the Women's Council in the Brethren Church parlors.

Mrs. J. R. Rothrock, chairman of the mother-daughter committee which supervised the affair, and Mrs. W. C. Heaston received the guests who were directed to informal circles of ladles and girls.

"Flow Gently Sweet Afton" and "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes" were sung by special quartet con-sisting of Mrs. E. A. Wall, Mrs. Free-by, Mrs. J. V. Holsinger, and Mrs. Jay Crumpacker, accompanied by Mrs. Paul Sargent. Miss Eunice Harkey, director of child welfare in McPherson County, spoke interestingly of the slums, Hull-House, and markets in Chicago. Her work in the sociology department in the University Of Chicago was also of Interest.

Mrs. Burton Metzler, Mrs. W. C. Hesston, Mrs. Jennie Heckman, and Mrs. J. R. Rothrock assisted in pouring tea from the lace covered table which was centered with a bowl of fall flower* and was artistically dec-orated with fall colors. Baskets of flowers were placed about the room to add beauty to the occasion.

S. G. Hoover Elected By Fresh In the freshman class election held last Monday, S. G. Hoover was elected secretary-treasurer by an over-whelming majority. The other of-ficers were elected at A previous meeting.

Students from Virginia to North Dakota have flocked to McPherson College this year. A survey of students by states shows that there are more Kansas students coming from outside of McPherson than are coming from McPherson itself.

The figures are as follows: Kansas (outside of McPherson 112; Mc-Pherson, 11; Iowa, 33, Missouri, 14; Idaho, 8; Colorado. 8; Nebraska, 6; Minnesota, 5; Oklahoma, 4; Indiana, 3; Ohio. 3; Louisiana, 2; Texas, 2; Florida, 1; Pennsylvania, 1; Tenne-see. 1; and Virginia. 1.

By the looks of things some parents didn't want to take chances with their offspring and so gave them a middle name from the Bible in hopes that the name would help that son or daughter be good. There's Robert Samuel and Forrest Daniel. That rhymes doesn't it? How do do you like Theodore Samuel and Phillip Samuel? It seems most anything goes with Samuel, or does it? I'll bet that Jake is a nickname for Jacob.

Do you know anyone by the name of Russell Joseph, Olive Miriam, lil-lian Martha, Carl Simon, and Emer-son David? If you remember your Bible Lessons from last year or be-fore that or even from Dr. Metzler's class the Bible you will recognize these middle names.

Several girls were named after some Ruth whether it was the Ruth of the Bible or not I don't know, but you might ask Rowena Ruth, Mary Ruth. Opal Ruth, Miriam Ruth, or a few others to find out. I guess those combinations are all right at least the persons mentioned are still surviving.

Maybe some parents wanted their children to follow the footsteps of some famous person, which is alto-gether impossible in the cases I know. At least the ones mentioned have some famous person's name. Maybe Leland Charles is named after King Charles, or maybe Charles Luther was named after the famous I.til her. You might ask Bernard

New Lights

The Lamps

First thing we want to apologize for what we said last week about the cheering section. It got pretty noisy last Thursday night, but then who could help getting excited about that game. No intentions of be-littling, however.

It tickled us when "Within These Walls" commented on Mickey Mor-ison's up-to-the-minute hairdress, because we knew all the time that it was Mickey's grandmother who taught her how to fix it that way. Which doesn't of course, hinder its being up-to-the-minute.

For look alikes (use your imag-ination) Virginia Kerlin and Ruth stump: Olive Colyn and Geneva Schlehuber: Rowena Frantz and Janet Gaynor: Lambert and Nel-son Eddy.

For twinkles in their eyes (imag-ination unnecessary): Asta Ostlind, Mary Elizabeth Hoover, and Maur-ine Anderson.

This College was not established to provide a chance for foot-ball playing. It was established to give students a chance to gain a higher education. If that is true, why should football play-ers and other athletes be privileged characters?

Ramblin's

Sept. 27. We find ourselves in the midst of a deep philosophical dis-cussion with Dr. Metzler trying tofind out just what truth is and how we may know when we have found it. The rest of the class have afew ideas, of course, but they are all wrong because they don't agree with ours. Dr. Metzler tells us to read the next chapter and we will find out the answer to our query, but we read the next chapter and we don’t agree with the author, either. It is all a bit puzzling but by the end of the semester we are sure we will have all the problems solved, and we'll be ready to go out and remake the world.

Sept. 28. So Fahnestock "Hole" is finally having open house! We thank Prof. Mohler for speaking so frankly. Seriously, we think they should have waited until later in the year to have it because that way the "Hole" would get cleaned up again. As it is, the lads won't have to clean now until Christmas vacation, if then.

There is only one disadvantage to being a dignified Senior: we have to sit away down in front in chapel and it isn't so easy to study history without being seen. Mr. Wllhsm reminded us of our own bed when he spoke of “a bed too short to lie in, with covers too narrow to cover one's self."

thought that a good war would be rahrer exciting, provided it remain-ed on foreign soil, and we were hop-ing the Fuehrer Would decide to march on Czechoslovakia. But last night, we read for the third or fourth time Erich Remarque's: All Quiet On The Western Front. We decided that if war is what the author of the book says it is, peace at any price is better than marching millions of men out to be smeared promiscuously over the landscape. Probably the coiner of the term, ’’political monastics'' will disagree with us, but we will stand our ground, neverthe-less.

Sept. 30. The game last night, was one of the finest we have ever wit-nessed, in spite of the fact that we didn’t win. The boys from Hastings expected a "push-over;” they almost had it, but it was Hastings instead of Mac that almost got the push. Gordon Yoder looked a hit lonesome. We felt a big lump swelling up in our throat out of sympathy for him. But we were glad to see that Don Davidson was happy again. It is quite interesting to see the “apple carts" get tipped over, and then get picked up and started out again, if yon have the perspicacity to comprehend our terminology. We are already speculating as to the announcements that might probably be made "When The Roses Bloom Again” next spring.

We rushed out of the Ad Building to mount our bicycle this afternoon, to discover that it was gone. With murder in our heart and imprecations upon our lips we set out on a search for the culprit. But when we saw big Phil Myers on the bike we merely said "Hello.” We didn't care after all. But we have decided to sell the bicycle to the Administration, since most of the fellows use it

bet that the people who don't see their names on here were too bash-ful or ashamed of their middle names to put them on the paper that they filled out to be admitted to college. I surely thought several people had middle names but I cound't find any for them. Some students were will-ing to admit that they had a middle name and so put only the middle initial down, but that just keeps people guessing. Why not put the name down in the beginning?

One of the highlights of the course will be November first. Tom Collins, Sunday editor of the Kansas City Journal Post will be the speaker. Tom Collins had to be secured a year in advance. He is a very popular humorist. He is a lecturer for the National Bankers Association.

Those who attended the lectures last year will remember Rabbi Mey-erberg. Rabbi Meyerberg is from Kansas City and will speak this year on thw subject, "if I Were a Christian".

The tickets for the lectures are free to those desiring them. There are only a limited number of tickets no it is necessary to distribute the tickets only among those who are really interested.

It seems that nightmares are becoming a fad. Late Monday night Rilla Hubbard was twisting some curls in her hair, when who should walk in but her neighbor from across the hall, Edith Nickey. She walked to the window, looked out. groped around, and finally awakened when she was spoken to. The next night her neighbors closed their doors.

If you hear someone yelling late at night, don’t get frightened, cause it’s probably Edith Hughey having a wild dream. Such was the case Tuesday night when she awoke to find herself sitting in the rocker hollering out the window. Expecting someone, Hughey?

Some of the older girls have been complaining that the freshmen girls are making too much noise. But— you were a freshman once, and it's the night life and the petty pranks that makes Arnold so interesting. Your grandchildren won't be interested in how much you study, but in slipper lines, midnight feeds, salt in your bed, and throwing tin cans down the steps. Twenty years from now you'll not remember how disturbing the noise was, but oh-h-h-h boy, what fun!

The college library has undergone several changes within the last few weeks. The library office has been divided into two parts- The north half is used by Miss Mildred Forney who is in charge of the circulation department.

The south half is used by Miss Margaret Heckethorn is supervising cataloguing and mending. Miss Forney and Miss Hecketthorn share the responsibility of reference work. Most of the mending is now taken care of in the library basement with Galen Stern in charge.

During the summer months several very valuable additions were made to the library in the form of gifts. Those who have given books to the library are: Mr. C. E. Davis, Prof. R. E, Mohler, Mrs. Anns Tate Miss Millicent Nyquist and Df. V. F. Schwalm.

Some students seem to be "born artists"; others are not. Occasionally any artist, even the expert, may have difficulty in making a moon (or whatever) to look similar to the one of the study from which he is copy-ing. He may make a yellow moon and find it too intense. He adds while—it is too pale; he adds orange—its off Shade. He may con-tinue exprimenting until the result looks like a ball of mud.

It is at such a crisis that Miss Clara Colline, the instructor in Art. literally puts herself into the picture. She puts on a dab of this, a dab of that, blends it. and there we see a perfectly beautiful moon.

But Miss Colline is like that. To draw a circle she takes a pencil in hand, starts at the top, and at the bottom of the page the lines meet to form the circumference of a really round circle.

An interesting part of her career has been her study under Birger Sadnsen, the well known artist from Linsborg.

Although she has traveled, Mc-Pherson has always been her home town.

Our art department is open every school day except Wednesday, which is Miss Colline's day at Central College.

Practice Teach

At Local Schools

Eleven McPherson College seniors and seven sophomores are be-ing trained in the local city schools for the teaching profession. Four of the seniors are practice teaching in the Senior High School.

"Mother" Emmert had a birthday last Sunday, and “her girls” gave her a lovely bouquet of red roses.

Mrs. Violet Stumbo, daughter of our cook Mrs. Brunk, received a Hawaiian lei (pronounced lay) from her sister who lives in Hawaii. For those who do not know what a lei is, it is one of those flower wreaths that one wears around his neck. This lei, received by Mrs. Stumbo, is a beautiful blending of pink and white flowers.

Tony Voshell, his mother, Joelle Letkeman, Durwood Karlson, Glen Funk, and Olan Nincehelser went to Dodge city Saturday afternoon to see the Bulldog "B" team and the Dodge city Junior College football game Saturday night. They all spent the night with relatives of Tony Voshell and returned to Mc-Pherson Sunday morning. They had

a good time, so they say, and were warmly received by students of the junior college.

"Doe" VanBlaricum, Jake Cramer, and Rilla Hubbard were extra pass-engers on the bus chartered to take the football boys to Dodge City Saturday. 'Doc' went to visit friends, and Jake boarded another bus for Rocky Ford. Rilla visited with her parents, who came from Hugoton to meet her. And whom should Rilla run into, but her old roommate, Bertie Keller who sent greetings to all her friends. Mark Porter, a bigshot teacher at Ensign, was also at the game supporting the Bulldogs, and he too went his best regards.

Responsive reading and prayer was the form of devotions led by President Schwalm and Dean Bright at the chapel program. Friday morning, September 30.

Two Vocal solos were presented by Mr. Fisher. They were "come to the Fair” by Easthope Martin and “Requiem” by Sidney Homer. The concluding number was a reading en-titled "A Heart-of Old Hickory” given by Elma Minnick.

This winter those McPhersonsonites will be privileged to hear five outstanding speakers on the lecture course to be held at the Congregational church. These lecture forums will be presided over by Rev. With-erspoon. On Wednesday, October 12, Dr. Adreas Bard will lecture on "Free Speech And World Chaos.” Dr Bard is pastor of the St. Marx Lutheran Church of Kansas City.

Sunday, October 16. Attorney Tom Gershom of Kansas City will lec-ture on "Church and Politics". Mr. Gershom is city attorney for North Side Kansas City. He is a very eloquent speaker and a member of the Pendergast machine.

On Wednesday, October 26, Mrs. Zula Bennington Greene will speak. Mrs. Greene is a columnist of Topeka. She is known as "Peggy of the Foothills". This is the title of a column written by her and will also be the title of her speech.

There was much pep and enthusiasm at a recent Pep Chapel. The band, under the direction of Merle Hogsden, has improved to a remarkable degree. Berle Miller, a member of the band played two "hot" tunes. Rilla led the group in the yells during the session.

Dave McGill, captain of the foot-ball team gave a short talk. After his talk he introduced other members of the team.

We also heard from some of the spectators, Audrey Hammann, Joelle Letkeman, S. G. Hoover, Glennys Doll, Doris Voshell, Deborah Kubin and last, Raymond (scoop) Coppedge.

The Pep Club is planning some en-tertainment at the game. Students are requested to keep their seats during the half.

It was announced by Dean J. D. Bright that this year each sophomore will be allowed to choose his own advisor from the group of counsellors. The counsellors are Dr. J. W. Boltnott, Professor M. A. Hess, Miss Della Lehman. Dr. Burton Metzler, Professor R. E. Mohler, Miss Ida Shockley. Professor S. M. Dell, and Dr. Bright.

Freshmen will be assigned a counsellor from this group. Juniors and seniors will seek the counsel of their major professor.

During the sixth week of school each freshman and sophomore will be asked to have a conference with his counsellor.

Attention, Prof. Dell! Another problem will be heaped upon yourshoulders unless you see that the furnishings of the recreation room in Sharp Hall are returned. That group of boys known as the “Dun ers geon Gang” threaten to start playing craps unless the ping-pong table is returned to their "hang-out"!

Students studying in the library one evening found relief from their books by a loud noise. Upon in-vestigation, it was found that Harold Duncanson was staggering under a blow dealt him by Margaret Hamm.

The number of students who have been forceably-removed from the library is mounting every day. You have to be good nowadays or Miss Forney will 'get you'.

By the way, don’t you think that Lawrence Hawkins looks like the actor, Peter Lorre? And then there's always the one about Galen Allen, who looks like George Burns wife.

The boys of Fahnestock "Hole" really made excellent hosts last Friday evening, didn't they? The tail-wagging dogs belonging to Richard Berber and Leslie Rogers and Eldon Du Boise's plentiful supply of candy were rivaled in popularity only by the punch and crackers served

In Arnold Hall

Things are a little more lively in Arnold Hall, now that the freshmen are catching on to what it's all about. The freshmen girls got their first dose of initiation last Thursday night after the game, when they were sent through a slipper line. But while the upperclass girls worn busy "shoeing" them, a few cocky little num-bers proceeded to stack rooms, Ah—-sweet revenge! But watch your step, freshgals, we're just begun.

The events of the night didn’t end there, however. If you would have looked into a room an second you would have found about ten girls enjoying a midnight snack, and planning. In the meantime Gladys Wiggins was pussy-footing around in the hall (as if anyone could pussyfoot in Arnold's squeaky halls). And the next morning she whined and fussed about her lost alarm clock.

A couple doors tied shut and the explosion of firecrackers ended the episodes that night. But the next morning several rooms were draped artistically with "morning paper”. How extravagant!

Virtue consists, not in abstaining from vice but in not desiring it.-—G. B. Shaw.

in Mr. and Mrs. Harshbarger's kitchen. The refreshments must have been good, for Harold Larsen even cast off his role of host to consume three or four handfulls of crackers, (and everyone knows that Har-old doesn't care very much about eating. The rooms were surprisingly clean. However it’s a rumor that many a closet suffered from the shoes, books, clothes, and whatnot's that were hastily thrown into them as the guests began to arrive.

The other evening Pres. Schwalm made a tour of inspection of the campus. He surprised a few boys and girls in the Student Union Room, and broke up a prank in the boys Dorm. It seems that Robert and Dean Frantz were getting ready to surprise Russell Kingsley with a bucket of water. However, upon the arrival of the prexy, they changed their minds.

There is still need for a course in cleanliness around the dear old college. Gladys Shank attended a very nice tea in her best bib and tucker— but with dirty hands and face. Gladys blamed it on her new suede gloves, but that still doesn't explain the reason for her face being dirty. Maybe it was something she 'et'.

A group of chemistry majors accompanied Dr J. Willard Hershey to Wichita Thursday evening to attend a meeting of the American Chem-ical Society.

The main feature of the evening was a paper presented by Dr. J. S. Hughes of the department «of bio-chemistry of Kansas State College "The Chemistry and Functions of the Vitamins."

Dr. Hershey is president of the Wichita Section of the A. C. S., and Leland Engborg, an alumnus of McPherson College, is a secretary.

Those accompanying Dr. Hershey were Asta Ostlind, Sara Jane Ol-win, Richard Horn, and Wilbur Stern.

To carry out more effectively the social program on the campus, two social committees have been appointed by the social director and approved by the student council are to study the social needs on the campus and to provide ways of meeting those needs.

The committee consists of two off-campus students, Delbert Barley and Lenore Shirk, and two on the campus representatives. Mariam Kimmell and Gordon Yoder.

The Chemistry Club held its first meeting last Thursday, September 28, at 4:00 in the chemistry lecture room. The purpose of the meeting was to elect officers for the year.

Dr. J. W. Hershey is permanent president of the organization. Richard Horn was elected vice-president. Sara Jane Olwin, secretary; Emerson Yoder, reporter; Asta Ostlind, chairman of social committees; and La Rue Owen, chairman of program committee.

The next meeting will be next Thursday, October 13, at 4:00. Members of the elementary chemistry class will give the program. Everyone is cordially invited to attend this meeting.

Clara Shurman, a graduate of ’37, has received a University Scholarship front Kansas University. Miss Shurman, who also graduated from McPherson high school was a distinctively outstanding student in the history department of the colllege. The scholarship. which carries stipend of $250, is given on a competitive basis.

This game will mark the end of a series of three home games at the beginning of the season. Next week, the Canine gridsters journey to Baldwin for a contest with Baker, returning for a non-conference battle with Bethel on home grounds.

Coach Dick Godlove's crew, which is practically intact from last year, includes such men in the line as Hofstra, Berger, Bremen, Von Arb, and many others.

Outstanding backs of the visitors are Ramsey, Meek, Fitzpatrick, Smith, O'Neal, Palmer, Morgan, and Mattis, a group which is able to cause trouble in any conflict.

McPherson will seek vengeance for a terrific 30-0 lacing at the hands of the conference foes on a muddy field at Ottawa last year. Gradually Improving in each fracas, the Bulldogs should be on comparatively even terms with the Baptists tonight.

Ottawa Observations—

With a "scattling" backfield, hefty linemen, and a multiplicity of sub-stitoutions, Coach Dick Godlove's Braves will furnish the Bulldogs plenty of competition tonight when they invade the local gridiron for the first conference battle of the season for both teams.

Outstanding ball-luggers in the rear quartet are Jack Ramsey, who is the lad Coach Astle is sorry he sent to Ottawa, Don Meek, fully recovered from a knee injury. O'Neal and Mattis, track stars, and Palmer, the touchdown specialist.

Blockers of the highest rank are such men as Fitzpatrick, Lyman Morgan, and Smith, the quarterback. On the whole, the Braves's backfield may be considered the beat in the conference. They are three-deep in each position and each boy wastes no time in covering the greensward.

Ramsey surges through the line like a whirling top and is never really down until four or five opponents knock the stuffings out of him. If the Bulldogs hit Meek exceptionally hard a few times, he may not offer much more trouble, but Ramsey is the man who places the ball in po-sition for touchdown drives.

Against Haskell the Baptists did not attempt to take to the air, but put up a stubborn defense against Eastman's flips, thereby bringing the whole game down to earth.

Although the football teams are putting on the main show at the games in the McPherson college stadium, there are numerous sidelights that sometimes attract more of the attention of the average college student.

In the first place, most of the up-perclassmen seem to think of a grid contest as another chance to obtain a "date" from that cute little freshman lassie while the freshman boy, green cap perched on his head, wat-ches enviously from a safe distance. He is doomed to the "belt line” or some task which no one else wants to do.

However, McPherson was not up to par in the Haskell struggle and the red skinned bucks were far below their regular form us exhibited here two weeks ago.

Reports received from Ottawa indicate the invaders are not expecting too much competition from the Bulldogs, who have different ideas and hope to gain an advantage over Ottawa in the early stages of the game.

Both teams will be rather heavy, with the Canines holding about 5 pounds advantage in weight per man. However, the opposing backfield will weigh more than the McPherson quartet.

Kansas conference coaches and scouts are watching tonight's game with a great deal of interest, because the outcome will give them some idea of the comparative strength of the respective teams.

In tonight's contest, Coach As-tle's men will be striving to obtain their first touchdown of the season while Bulldog boosters urge them on.

For the line, most, of the players do not average as much in weight as does the McPherson forward wall, but they are big and rather tough. Leonard Hofstra, 2 220-pound tackle, will keep his opponents busy all night. George Von Arb, the place-kicker, Omer Brenton, high-scoring cager, Eugene Hardling, and Lyle Swetmam are excellent ends, who are in the right places at the wrong time.

Miller and Bob Brenton, freshmen center, showed up well against the Indians, Elvis Berger, former McPherson boy, capably handles a guard position. Yes, Ottawa will have plenty of surprises in store for the Canines tonight.

However, Coach "Cuck” Astle's men will not be caught unawares, for they have been instructed as to proper methods while matching the foes from the Marais Des Cygnes valley. The visitors have humbled McPherson too often in the past and it is time for something to be done about halting the supposedly powerful Braves.

Playing on even terms throughout the encounter, the McPherson "B" squad deadlocked the Dodge City Junior College 7-7 last Saturday night in Dodge City in the opening game of the Juco season.

Dodge City scored first as a result or McPherson's fumble on its 30-yard line. Falling to gain through the line, the Conquistadors opened up their attack which accounted for the initial touchdown, followed by a place kick for the extra point.

In the third period, the reserves began clicking. Earl Mathlot took a punt on his own 40-yard line, then twisted through a broken field to cross the goal line. Bill Rock's attempted place kick was good.

Blocking by Vetter and Bullinger aided in the impressive showing of the Bulldogs. Other gridsters play-much experience from the battle. ed "heads-up" football and gained With 50, men in suits, the Dodge City lads played fine football and furnished plenty of competition. Most of the 19 McPherson gridsters participated in the conflict.

Week-End Wreckage—

All McPherson opponents bit the dust last week, except Bethel in defeating the Swedes. On the same night the Bulldogs held Hastings to a scoreless tie, the Wesleyan Coyotes were trounced 40.0 by the War-rensburg Mules. Then the others were mowed down in quick fash-ion.

Baker was defeated by Rockhurst, the Catholic school at Kansas City, College of Emporia deadlocked with the Tablequah Teachers with neither team scoring. Prize horrible example of the entire group was Southwestern, who was severely punished by Wichita 66-0.

At the regular meeting of the Quarterback Club last Monday noon, Coach Jack Randle explained the victory of the high school Bullpups over Salina, Moffat Eakes reviewed the Warrnsburg walloping of Wesleyan, Martin Seidel gave advance "dope" on Ottawa. Bethel, and Bethany.

Then Coach "Buck" Astle summarised the Hastings and Dodge City Junior College games, discussed the contest with Ottawa tonight.

A new man reported this week with this Bulldogs. He is Bob Richardson, a 205-pound tackle from Arlington. He is a Junior, having graduated from Hutchinson Junior College, where he played football.

With Andy Collett on crutches as a result of an ankle injury in the Dodge City affair, another tackle will be needed on the squad. He will be eligible for competition in the Bethel game here later in the mouth.

Games on other gridirons to-

night are Bethel at College of Emporia, Baker at Bethany, and Oklahoma Baptists at Southwestern.

For some unknown reason several boys came home from Dodge City with sore feet. Surely the ground isn't that hard, even in the dust bowl. If Dodge City wanted to win the games, students should have told the team of the farewell reception before the battle began.

At a recent meeting of the W. A. A. executive board the following leaders were chosen for the various clubs: Olive Colyn, Outing Club;

Geraldine Spohn, assistant: Edith

Spengler. badminton; Hazel Bodine. tennis: softball, Olive Wiegang; Audrey Hammann, volleyball; and Jessie Messamer, basketball.

The volleyball club has gotten started on their pragram for the season. The girls will play every Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon from 4:30 o'cock to 5:30 o'clock. They are working toward the Volleyball sports day which will be held during the first semester.

Then there are the musicians, whose greatest pleasure is in tooting the horn. jamming, jiving, getting in the groove, feeding the alligators, wading in the corn, driving out the ickies. and other such slang-uage of the "swingster." If they happen to look at the field, they may accidentally witness a thrilling play, but usually these persons spend most of the time looking at their music.

Officials, frequently are the center of this three-ring circus, known as a football game. Blowing their whistles or horns, waving their arms, and attempting to act as final judges, these men may or may not shift attention from the actual playing while they attend to their business.

Of course, every school has its cheerleaders and cheering section.

McPherson college has slightly more pep than usual this season and these groups keep up a constant furor, all of which aids the boys out there rooting their noses in the ground for the dear old school of quality, or for

Women's Activity Classes

The activity classes are now in full sway. Recreational sports class is now playing tennis. The first part of the period is spent on techniques and the final portion is given to a round robin tournament.

The badminton court is now ready for use and the twelve members of the class are quickly learning the game. Speedball is being played by the team sports class. This sport is a combination of soccer 2nd basketball with a few elements of kicking included.

Members of the archery class are developing good form. Their average hits are about three out of six attempts. The playground activity class, which is for elementary teachers, has just finished the historical and theoretical explanation of play. The personal hygiene class is ready to start the study of a timely subject—common colds.

Three new pieces of equipment are being used this season by this Bulldogs in football practice in order to get in better condition for the games.

With Coaches Astle or Siedel squatting on a supporting brace, the gridsters charge against a sled and push it around the field, thereby strengthening their legs. This sled resembles the props of a small billboard.

The tackling dummy at the cast edge of the field is proving to he popular with the boys, who bring it viciously to the ground. It may prevent injuries suffered during real tackling practices.

Another feature of equipment used during workouts is the stationary fense machine, which consists of poles that are used for blocking and guiding the backs in various plays. Coach Astle also can sit on the top

their Jobs downtown. Cheers are necessary and are an absolute essential to an "honest-to-goodness"bat.

At this Brethren institution, a young man keeps a constant chatter via a public address system, making cracks whenever he desires or try-ing to interpret the game as he sees it progress. Many people depend on this intermediary to furnish them information concerning a star back, downs and number of yards to go, and miscellaneous happenings out on the playing field.

Another group of individuals contribute much to the general spirit of the whole event. These are the substitutes and coaches on the bench (If they ever sit there). Although they may not enter the game itself, the bench warmers can lend encouragement to teammates who are in the thick of the fracas. Nothing need be said about the coach, who is anx-ious, happy, gloomy, and halfway up and down at the same time. A coach can be a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in successive moments, then regret or be thankful for everything that hap-pened..

A final distinct class of people attending a gridiron duel are the sideline sweepers, consisting of chain holders, linesmen, reporters, and photographers. Most of them are there either from duty or from a desire to be noticed by everyone in the grandstand. Too many cooks spoil the broth and too many "sideliners" confuse the officials.

Yes, a football game at McPherson college is an amusing thing, if you don’t watch the players.—R. C.

At Newton, the Bethel Graymar-oons unleashed a varied attack which proved too much for the visiting Bethany Swedes. Of course, Ireland's flipper had been injured, almost removing all the "spark” from the Lindsborg gridsters.

With Gib and Dick Galle, Chet and Bill Unruh composing the light, but Speedy backfield, the Menno-nites displayed surprising strength in rushing over three touchdowns. How. ever, the Swedes had plenty of drive in their "few and far between" onslaughts.

A prejudiced public address announcer and Bethel's cheering section aided the proteges of Unruh very little, from the sidelines. While being loyal to his school, the announce-er did not know how to announce a game and the cheering section would be more capable in reading the scrip-tures responsively than in attempting to boost their team.

At least, the McPherson rooters are more united, but the team would appreciate a few more group yells at the strategic and crucial moments of a conflict. Think it over!

Of the three teams, Ottawa, Bethel, and Bethany, the former probably will offer more competition against the Bulldogs. However, Bethel has

Augmented by members of the Senior High School band, the college pep band, directed by Merle Hodg-den, is making a definite contribution to the pep and enthusiasm of the school this season.

Practices are held each Monday evening in the college chapel. More musicians are invited to join this organization, which is supported by the faculty, student body, and student council.
