Saturday night is the night of the banquet. The McPherson group will have charge of the Sunday morning program.

The group is going in three cars. Those taking cars are Miss Ida Shockley, Arthur Baldwin and Carl Smucker Those who plan to attend are Mary Elizabeth Hoover, Opal Hoffman, Dwight Horner, Arthur Baldwin, Carl Smucker, Leonard Vaughn, Kirk Naylor, Orville Beech-ler, Vera Heckman, James Crill, Esther Sherfy, Luther Harshbarger, Rowena Wagoner, Ruth Smith, Geraldine Spohn, Elizabeth Mohler, and Miss Ida Shockley.

In last night's meeting, the speaker showed the tremendous influence wielded by Hitler and Germany in European affairs. No longer is Germany the grovelling beggar the treaty of Versailles tried to make her, but she, in turn, demanded increasing claims from her former oppressors. Her destiny is the key to the future of Europe.

W. P. Krehbiel, Newton, presented a book, "War Peace Amity" to each member of the International Relations club of the college. Members of the club appreciate the complimentary copies, which will aid them in further study.

He and the rest of the chemistry department take this opportunity to announce the arrival of two blessed events in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mouse. Twins which came this week caused not a little excitement for the six assistants who scrambled about in search of two names appropriate for such honored creatures. Finally by using their own initials the help-ers constructed the names Tom Shog and J. Roosh.

Parents and children are progressing nicely but Dr. Hershey is worried about the fatigued condition of Richard Horn.

Laron Crawford, director of the McPherson College Band, has announced the complete personnel of the band which will make its first appearance in new uniform Armistice Day. The deadline for membership in the band was set for rehearsal time last Monday night and the band now numbers eighteen players,

The instrumental is fairly complete, and includes trumpets, clarinets, baritones, trombones, saxa-phones, basses and drums. A committee has been appointed to make final arrangements for uniforms and the band is busy enlarging its repertoire and perfecting plans for its years program.

Kenneth Thompson, Alice Boyce; Clarinets; Kathryn Dobbins Burnetta Denny, Nina Lee Rush, Ellen Date, Merle Hodgden, Saxophones; Verda Grove, Joel Letkemen, Ruth Stump; Trombones; Wayne Switzer, Keith Pierce, Charles Baldwin; Bari-ton; Eldon Miller; Bass; Lenora Kanel; Percussion; Edward Zook, Wesley DeCoursey.

Spohn Chosen Leader For District Cabinet

young people grow each session at the district conference held last week end at Hutchinson. Hearty laughter prevailed during the recreational period led by Rowena Wampler on Saturday afternoon. Darkness gathered upon the group but did not rob from Rev. Bernard King's in-spirational message at the vesper service.

"How can we get those young people up by 5:30 a. m." asked pastors and hostesses. Harshbarger almost set a new speed record for Hutch-inson but arrived in time to give some valuable thoughts at the sun-rise service. Imagine three sleepy,

disgusted looking girls waiting at the church for Harold Larsen! B. Y. P. almost filled a cafe and showed the Camp Washnga spirit by singing numerous favorites. Those Hutchinson people really show the hospitality.

The following were elected on the new B. Y. P. D. cabinet at the busi-ness session: President, Geraldine

Spohn, of McPherson College: Vice President. Norval Mcgonigle, of Nickerson; Secretary-treasurer, Mo-dina Showalter, of McPherson College; Music chairman, Edith Rod-gers, of Newton; program Chairman, Rowena Wampler, of McPherson College; Adult Advisor, Luther Harshbarger, McPherson College,

The band and orchestra will no longer need to practice in the chapel. The original Y. W. C. A. room is being converted into a practice room for the above organisations.

The new room for the Y. W. C. A is the old ping-pong room. It has been scrubbed, painted, and re-floor-ed and is to be the new residence of the Y. W. C. A. Furniture belonging to the group will be moved to the new room in the near future.

The administration, sponsoring this change, feels that several problems have been solved in that it provides a permanent music room, while still maintaining a Y. W. C. A. room. There, also, is a game room, a bigger and better one, in the west wing of the Physical Education building.

Houston To Address Students On Monday

John M. Houston, congressman from the Fifth District of Kansas, has been secured by the McPherson College Young Democrats to give an address in chapel next Monday morn-ing.

Mr. Houston has been at the college several times in the past. He is an interesting and well-informed speaker.

Bowman To Speak During R.E. Week

Dr .Warren D. Bowman, pastor of the First Church of the Brethren of Washington, D. C. will be the speaker for Religious Emphasis Week, November 13 to 18.

Each morning Dr. Bowmen is to speak in the college chapel on some subject that is of immediate interest to young people. Beginning Sunday morning and continuing each night the speaker will preach in the College Church for the community and college folk.

Prior to his going to the Capitol city, Dr. Bowman was professor of Psychology at Juniata College, Huntingdon, Pa. There he made a specialty of youth problems in regard to friendships, courtships, and marriage. Under the direction of the S. C. M. while on the campus, the guest speaker will deal with these problems as they face modem youth. Personal conferences will also be arranged for interested young people.

With the coming of such a fine man and able speaker as Dr. Bowman, Religious Emphasis Week this year promises to be one of the outstanding weeks of the college year.

Group To Attend Manchester Meet

Seventeen McPherson College young people are planning to attend the meeting of the Student Volunteer Movement to be held at Manchester College. November 4, 5, and 6. The Student Volunteer Movement is composed of those Brethren youth who intend to devote their lives to Christian service.

The convention leaders will be Dr. Othe Winger, president of Manchester college; Dr. Rufus Bowman, president of Bethany Biblical Sem-inary; C. D Bonsack. secretary of the Brethren missions; Spencer Min-nich, assistant director of Brethren Young People and Leland Brubaker, director of Brethren young people's work.

Arnold Hall Entertains

Inmates of Arnold Hall invite one and all to Open House, Saturday evening, October 22. from 8 to 10:30 o'clock. Boys, unto you will be revealed the true characteristics of your best girl, when you step across the threshold of her domain. And remember, fellows, no salt! Everyone welcome to the mysteries of Arnold Hall.

Cordier To Talk In College Church

Well-informed Dr. Andrew W. Cordier, prominent lecturer who yesterday afternoon ably discussed the general European situation before the International Relations Club and last night addressed a large crowd on the subject, "Ger-many, the Key to the Peace of Europe," spoke this morning in chapel on the general subject, "Czechoslovakia."

Fresh from Europe with a wealth of first-hand information, Dr. Cordier will probably talk before a forum Saturday evening at 7:00 pm.

Again Sunday morning at 11:00 a. m. Dr. Cordier, who is head of the history department at Manchester College, will address an audience at the College Church.

Intramurals For Men Off To Good Start

Dave McGill, president of the Mc-Pherson College Intramural Association, started the intramural program last Wednesday. The purpose of this association is to give all the men of the college who are not participating in some varsity sport a chance for athletic action.

The four class presidents who are the club captains have appointed their leaders. The senior leader is Wesley Albright, the junior leader Wesley DeCroursey, the sophomore is Kirk Naylor, and the freshman have Andrew Collett as their leader.

Volley ball and ping-pong made up the initial program. It is urged that everyone who is eligible to participate in this activity to report to their club captains or leaders at once in order to make this a large and helpful program. It is certain to afford plenty of fun and enjoyment.

We either need a door-man or a new door at the library. The study-minded student rushes up to the door and pulls, but alas! nothing happens. After he pulls several times, it finally dawns on him that the door should be pushed in order to be opened. The door is so heavy that it takes all we have to push it open.

An for being embarrassed! Three sophomore ladies think they have reached the highest degree of embar-rassment. It all began with one of the games at the sophomore party Friday night. The Idea of writing one's first Impression of someone Is all right as long as everyone stays within the realm of first impres-sions; but when they begin Judging the person a to future possibilities It becomes a horse or a different col-or.

Opening the evening's recreation with a grand march, Don Davidson, Harold Flory, and Sarah Jane Olwin led their fellow classmen In an evening of fun and frolic. A number of contest games such as finishing descriptions, tying neckties, and 'handkerchiefs made up a part of the

Educator Coming

Mr. E. C. Wine, principal of the Alcott grade school in Wichita and a graduate of McPherson College, will give two talks on the campus next Friday morning, October 28.

He will address the faculty in its regular weekly meeting at 7:50, and will speak to the students in chapel at 9:45. He will have a general subject of mental health.

Mr. Winn recently spoke in New York at the National Educational Association conference.

He is well-known in educational circles as an authority of educational psychology.

Sophs To Battle

Seniors For Gup

The sophomore debate team composed of Newkirk and Stucky won an interclass conflict against the Freshman team of Ruby Peterson and Wilbur Bullinger last Tuesday night. The freshmen showed great promise while the sophomores held their own. The political elements of the question were brought out more clearly and the audience showed much interest in the debate.

As a result of their victory the sophomores will debate the seniors in the finals of the interclass debates, which will determine the championship of the school. The Sophomores will speak on the affirmative, while the seniors are on the negative.

An interesting feature is that Republican club prexy Saathoff and Democrat boss Thompson plead the Democrat side of the question, while Democratic Club prexy Stucky and a Republican stalwart Newkirk speak the Republican arguments.

All preseason dope indicated a close debate which will show aggres-siveness, persistence, and fluency. All are invited to attend this debate, at 6:30 next Tuesday evening in the chapel.

The Reinterpretations of Religion Commission or the S. C. M. this year is a result of the combination of the World Service group with the former commission of this type. Tha results are pleasing.

Interest has been increased, membership is good, and a definite aim of making religion a vital part of campus life has been established.

This commission has met twice with the avenge attendance of twenty-five. The problems of friendship and gaining serenity through silence have been discussed.

Discussions are being based on the book "Living Creatively" by Kirby Page. The table of contents indicates that some interesting phases of life are soon to be discussed.

The rest of the time was spent listening to a unique program. A play, "Romeo and Juliet" In modern version, was presented by Elder Craik and Ernest Reed. M. C's basso profundo, Keith Pierce, thrilled ev-eryone with his "Old Man River" The Flory twins Vera and Vena contributed a piano-violin duet to as already enjoyable evening.

Last was the serving of refresh-ments accompanied by some group singing of rounds and such under the direction or Elizabeth Mohler Maurine Anderson and her helper found some good of apple cider to dole out to the hungry mob and their hungrier supervisors, Mr. and Mrs. R, E, Mohler. Don Payden, and Miss Ida Shookley.

The annual meeting of the Kansas Association of Deans and Registrars will convene on the McPherson Col-lege campus tomorrow at 9:30 a. m. McPherson College will act as host to representatives from colleges and universities all over Kansas.

President V. F. Schwalm will welcome the visitors and the local college fine arts department will furnish music. President T. W. Butcher of Emporia Teachers will deliver the address of the morning on the subject, "More About the Curriculum."

At 12:00 noon the deans and registrars will enjoy a luncheon at the Hotel Hawley Root Garden.

Sectional meetings will be held in the afternoon with a varied program far the deans. There will be a report of accredited Kansas colleges and round table discussions. The following topics will take up the re-mainder of the time: A Centralized Personnel Record and Personnel Information, Adaption of the Academic Program to a Student's Indi-vidual needs, proper method of handling class attendance, How can a Cultural Atmosphere be Maintained in Face of Increasing Demands for a Professional Training in our Colleges and Difficultly for Colleges Arising from Diversity of High School Credits and Curricula-Adjournment win be at four o’clock.

Dean J. D. Bright made a trip to Florence two weeks ago where he made plans for the meeting of the week end. Dean Goertz of Bethel and Dean Vandervelde of College of Emporia were the other members of the arrangement committee.

Would you like to know how to make lace curtains fireproof or how Fords are made from soy beans? Then come to Chemistry Club meetings regularly, for these are a few of the topics discussed by members of the inorganic chemistry class at the meeting Thursday, October 13.

Members which gave reports were Winton Sheffer, Andrew Collett, Elisabeth Mohler, Merrill Blackman. Margaret Wagoner, Don Newkirk, Avis Elliot, Maurice Allison, Martha Goering, Autumn Fields, Shirley Spohn, Raymond Coppedge, Verds Grove, and Lois Florman.

At the meeting at 4:00 o'clock next Thursday evening the advanced chemistry students will be responsible for the program. Visitors are welcome.

Richard Horn wants the Spectator to add a column of vital statistics to the paper; or have you noticed his beaming face and proud demeanor?

After two weeks of intense deliberation and discussion, members of the McPherson College Student Council last Wednesday evening adopted their financial budget for the 1938-39 year based on funds from the $2.50 student activity fee paid at the beginning of the term.

In the latter part of September, the council invited representatives from the various organisations sup-ported by it to appear in a budget hearing before members of the student council, who later apportioned the total amount of $1300.

With the adoption of the new bud-get, members of the Student Council believe they have allocated the available funds to the greatest advantage and need of the student body of the college as a whole.

Following are the amounts dis-tributed to the organisations and departments receiving a share of student activity funds: Women's

Council, $15; Music department. $55; Debate, $170; Rental of films, $30: Dramatic Arts, $50: Spectator, $260; Student Christian Movement, $40; Mens Council, $15; Athletics, $455; and General Expenses (including Student Union Room and Handbooks) $200.

Two now allotments were made this year, but they made no appre-ciable difference in the relation of the amounts to different organisations. New participants in student activity funds were the Men's Council and a plan for rental of moving picture sound films.

The Men's Council, recently organised, was placed on the same status with the Women's Council. The moving picture films will by rented to be shown at student gatherings with a projection machine owned by the college.

librarian of the Carnegie library, announced recently a schedule of hours the building will be open, Hours:

Reserve books may be withdrawn one-half hour before closing. (i.e. 9:00 p, m, on Monday through Thursday, 5:00 p. m. on Friday, and at 3:00 p. m. on Saturday) and should be returned at the opening hour of the library the following day.

Reference books, current magazines and magazines published before 1933, may not be taken from the library without special permission from the librarian.

Throughout the semester, books and material on various subjects for recreational reading will be displayed in the southwest corner of the Reference Room. Watch the library bulletin boards, too, for posters, playbills and announcements which may be of interest.

In 14 years Rensselor Polytechnic institute's radio station has given intensive radio training to more than a thousand students.

Approximately two car loads of stu-dents accompanied the Bulldogs to the stadium. Then a few rode through the gates in the squad bus. Perhaps that was not on the level, but an eagle eyed scapegoat at Baker demanded that four boys pay seven-ty-flve cents to see the game.

Faced by such an uncompromising, selfish, person, the boys complied with ill-feeling in their hearts. May-be Liston or his associates do not like McPherson, but they should be considerate of student's rights.

Promoters of pep who acompan-ied the team to Baldwin last week-end discovered that Baker university athletic officials do not attempt to cooperate with other members of the Kansas conference concerning ad-mission of guest students.

McPherson college and most of the conference schools allow visiting stu-dents to enter the gate with a charge of twenty-five cents, but Baker must be different. They still have the Methodist instinct of taking up collections.

and if he could read minds, he would chuckle at whoever shrugs his mental shoulder at the suggestion that he exercise his privilege to vote.

New Lights

The Lamps

I remember walking down the hall with Marianne Krueger last year. The curtains were fluttering in the breeze entering by the open window. She exclaimed, in her own picturesque manner, "Oh! look at the lovely day coming in!"

Some other things which make the day delightful—warm smiles from your friends: giving a good

recitation in class; a few sincere compliments, direct or indirect (is it weak to admit it?): a few min-utes reading new magazines in the library.

Don't you just feel like strutting (cocky) when you are able, by some lucky break, to intelligently answer the question of an inquiring teacher when you have not once "opened your book?" We think Vera and Vena are among the best dressed girls in this college.

—oh yea—I suppose this belongs in Miss Etty's column but it needs to be said right now—The other Sunday in church six or eight Arnold

Little boys make just as lovely "pretty ladles” as anyy little girls you've ever seen. Especially when one is at a senior-freshmman Kid Party. One rather dark little boy came as near being a little lady as he could by wearing the most striking feminine attire.

There were lots of cute kids at the party. It was a real privilege to make the acquaintance of the twins, who when not twins are Evelyn Amos and Gladys Wiggins. They were dressed in cotton prints just alike and wore their pig tails tied with red ribbons.

By the way, this was a swell year to wear your hair like a "Kid" what with any number of hair dresses pos

Sudden thought: Where on earth will the freshman sit this year to write their descriptive essays of Harnly Hall?

Wasn't Rev. King’s sermon last Sunday morning a beautiful prelude for a picnic or hike? I like to be in just that mood on such occasions.

Arlene Barley looks so madonnalike; Rosalie Fields so delicate and fair of face; Miss Forney—Frenchy looking; Audrey Hamman, the perfect example f the athletic type of girl, and the colors she wears along with the color of her hair are very pleasing.

We have heard of a man so barbarous that he tore his p. j.’s to shreds—all in his sleep.

It’s such a mlx up between the residents of the Eisenbise basement and some Kline maidens. Crashing of picnics star-gazing into Kline with Rowman's telescope, bestowing of lovely bouquets are not unheard of.

The two hardest tasks in a coeds day; getting up in the morning and pining up her hair at night.

sible. Why when I was a child you just had curly bobbed hair or straight short hair and that was all there was to it. (it was great to be a modern "kid" just for one night)

Those who were judged able to stay in their role as children long-est were the little tots Virginia Kerlin and Mrs. Baldwin. Dr. Flory, Mother Emmert, and Mias Forney gave the prize for the best dressed kids to Becky Thatcher and Tom Sawyer, the quaint little pair from Mark Twain's book—and Kline Hall. It took a lot of grand march-ing on our part for them to decide this.

Ramblin's

October 10. When we got to chap-el we found that instead of chapel we were to have a "bull session," and the girls were to have its fem-inine equivalent, a "heifer session", in barnyard terminology. We hear that the girls discussed the budgeting of of their time. We were able to come down to the basic issue with-out such preliminaries: we discussed the opposite sex and ways and means of getting along with ‘em. It's quite a problem, but if we can continue to have such meetings, we might be able to manage. When we got home this everting we found Prof. Dell gathered around the table with the rest of the family. We wondered immediately what we had done to mertir a visit from the dean of men, but as he didn't bring up any particular misdeed of ours, we concluded we had been pretty good so far this year. Me missed "Marie Antoinette". We told the girl at the ticket window that the picture should have remained at least until Monday, but that didn't bring it back.

October 11. Shoo! We sat in philosophy class this morning and alternately chased files and discussed theories of knowledge. Maybe they could have the W. P. A. students swat them. We have a new way to avoid studying! Just take the instructor's book home with you. We got to genetics class to find that someone had carried away Prof Mohler's book. We sympathized with him until one or our wives informed us that we had the book at home on the table. We aren’t sure how it got there, but we were accused of taking it, by our wife, we mean, not Prof. Mohler. Our social nature rebels at the calm and quiet in the library. No more can we go there for an evening's entertainment as in years past. But our intellectual nature rejoices in the fact that we cam sit in the library and investigate the mysteries of genetics or whatever without being disturbed continually by some little freshman’s giggle. Such a library is indeed conducive to scholastic achievement.

October 12. We still think something ought to be done about the files. Perhaps Mr. Harshbarger who is first vice-president in charge of grounds and buildings could do something. We decided in philosophy class that time is something we don’t have enough of. We feel pretty much like a god today; we have been offered burnt offerings three times. We always accepted because there was nothing else to eat, but burnt prunes and burnt stew and burnt rice don’t comprise a very appetising menu. We must either learn to cook or else. ....

October 13. After hearing Rock sing we decide he is as good a singer as he is a football player. Maybe we will hear him some more before the year is ended. Dr. Flory would make a good sports writer, if he could keep up the line of chatter he had in pep chapel. English football sounds interesting but we prefer the American variety. We wonder who the "pilgrim" in the boys dorm is. Has he had to grapple with Giant despair yet?

October 14. We got into a dis-cussion with ye olde editor and others this morning on "Swearing". He told us that all we needed was to learn to swear right good. We insist that swearing is ignorance and that ignorance has no place in a college. We will stick to "Fiddlesticks" and "Tommyrot" and leave the rest for the cowhand at home in Texas. We went to Wichita this afternoon to spend the week-end. We are being entertained in a big home out

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"—for somebody else unless that somebody else fails to appear during these first five weeks of intense homesickness. In such case, there seems to be only one remedy according to a group of victims in Arnold Hall. Moods of despondency and lonesomeness can be chased only by the consoling sympathy of stuffed Kitzy-Kats, cotton Bow-Wows, rubber Mickey's, or wooden Minnie's.

On a recent Sunday afternoon all the available pets were in use, but still girls were flocking to room 326 for solace in the hour of sorrow, it became apparent that something else must be done, and, if possible, some-thing which would bring more abiding peace.

Word was sent to “Mop Hashbag-ger" that if any idle boys were around—put them to work. She was a good manager: business began

---telephones began ringing, buz-zers began buzzing, callers began calling, and everyone began yelling

Kat, Bow-wow, Mickey-mouse, one after the other, of faithful pets, gifts of him-back-home, were discarded throughout the afternoon as thier fickle-faced fluttery-heart, flittery-head mistress left him deserted and forgotten, the whole, long evening in an abondoned dormitory.

In College Hill. The butler met us at the door and carried our bags for us. We aren't quite sure whether to leave our shoes outside the door tonight or not. Ah! A bed with knee-action! What luxury!

October 16. We went to the Forum to church this morning. There were about six thousand Methodists there. We went home with our host then and had dinner served by the butler. We were thankful for the course in Orientation in which Dr. Flory gave us some tips for use on such occasions. As we started home on the bus we met one girl from Southwestern who told us how Southwestern was going to beat us on Armistice Day. Then we met a little Swedess from Bethany who predicted a defeat for the Bulldogs at the hands of the terrible Swedes. Then we found out that Baker had beaten us on Friday night. But in the face of such discouragement we still insist on believing in the Bull-dogs. We look forward to battle Friday with Bethel, and we are sure the tide will turn our way. The Mennonites are traditionally pacifistic and pacifists, according to the militant peace-planner A. B. Saa-thoff, are lethargic and phlegmatic. Hence Bethel should be as easy to beat as a drum.

November 5, 6 and 7 are the dates that have been set for the meeting of Student Volunteers. This year the meeting will be held At North Man-chestor, Indiana, on the campus of Manchester College which is also a Brethren college. Any students

Etty Advises

After many Brubankian experi-emnts, the Spectator has finally produced a hybrid between Emily Post and Dorothy Dix. This publication offers the services of this remarkable columnist if you have any problems of the heart, any questions of general social manners, or any difficulties that are particular to this campus, write a letter to Miss Etty and drop it in the Spec box or leave it in the Spec office.

Please tell me, what a young lady such as I, should do when she has a "date" with a fellow who is like a walking piece of dry ice. By that I mean that he is cold and seemingly indifferent, and when the evening is over there is nothing to remember it by.

This is an alarming situation and must be remedied immediately. If you care too much for the fellow to "drop" him, maybe you can show him by some of your actions just how you feel. Take his arm when you go out and upon returning, if he starts to go, ask him if he has forgotten something. I don't think you will be troubled with his being indifferent after a short time.

Newton Included In Reciprocity Plans

This year the McPherson College students will, again be privileged to hear outstanding artists in the col-umbia Concert Series. There are a total of ten concerts scheduled which all McPherson College students who are members of the concert association may attned. Reciprocity arrangements have been made with the Lindsborg and Newton concert associations, and all McPherson members are entitled to attended the concerts in Newton and Lindsborg, besides those in Mc-Pherson.

More information will be given about the concerts later. But at present the artists and dates of their presentations are known. Four concerts will be given in Newton, three in McPherson, and three in Lindsborg.

In Newton the folowwing concerts will be given; James Melton, tenor, on Nov 11; Malcolm and Godden: piano duo on Dec 5: the Mozart Boys' Choir of Vienna on Feb. 15; and the Gordon String Quartet on Mar. 3.

Says Knowledge Not Necessarily Virtue

In chapel Wednesday morning Dr. Boitnott gave an interesting talk. Devotionals consisted of a few hymns led by Nevin Fisher, interspersed with a reading in the scriptures and a prayer by Dr. Boitnott.

“The question of the rich young ruler, ‘What must I do to inherit eternal life?" is more or less univer-sal in different forms," declared Dr. Boltnott, "like 'What is the purpose of life?" and ‘How can one attain happiness?' Of course it is easier to ask a question than to answer it, But the best answer can probably be found in the last part of Jesus' answer to the question of the rich young ruler, 'Follow me.' If a poor man, business man, physician, college professor, or student had come to Jesus, would he have answered, ‘Forget your business and follow me?'

“I fear that higher education might place too much faith in knowledge. Ancient philosophers were wont to do so, saying, 'Knowledge is the gateway to eternal life' and 'Knowledge is virtue.' But knowledge is not virtue. Many people know better than they do.

“In the words of Mary Stuart of Oxford University, 'Personality can not be achieved until certain definite needs are satisfied,' as the twofold need of love, need of significance, need of security, and need for God. Let us be in constant search for this thing called God"

Group Attends Co-op Congress At K. C.

In order to get a better idea of the aims and progress of the Cooperative League of the U. S. A., a group of six from McPherson left early Thursday morning, Oct. 13 for Kan-sas City, where the Cooperative League was holding its eleventh biannual congress.

A delay of an hour and a half in Manhattan gave them the opportunity to visit the state college. They were interested in seeing a majority of studens packing around a leather case on their hips, presumably containing a slide rule, but suggestive of a Western thriller. James Crill concluded that the follow who gets the A's is the fellow who is quickest on the draw.

Immediately after the adjournment of the discussions the delegates headed into the sun for home. De-bates, arguments, and sundry tales flourished out past Topeka and then everyone leaned back in their seats for a snooze. Arrived in Salina, they saw the Swedes polish off the Coyotes with a victory. So they ended a day's trip that would have been a week's trip a generation ago. Members of the party were Professor J. L. Bowman, Professor S. M. Dell, James Crill, Vance Sanger, Delbert Barley and Harold Bowman.

Flora Mae Duncan has recently received word of the acceptance of her poem "With a Friend" by the New York World's Fair Collection.

This most recent honor is but a part of Miss Duncan's already high standing with publishing companies as shown by the five poems she has contributed to the Crown Anthology

of Verse Which also carries Miss Margaret Heckethorn's poem "Winter Music.' "The Christmas Caval-cade of Verse," a book by the Can-terberry press includes one of her poems.

Mins Duncan was sixteen when her first poem was accepted by the Crown Anthology. Since then she has contributed one each spring and fall.

This age of innocence! Will it weaken one’s eyes in pluck the eye-brown?" questioned one of our fair sex.

When the boys over across the way started shooting firecrackers one night last week, they stirred a little excitement in these halls. All the girls, including Mother Emmert, wondered “what's going to happen" Should I tell you? That would be spilling the beans—or sumpthin'-—but the matron anxious-ly waited for a raid. A raid with just two boys? No, just a business call! Tsch, tsch! But they would have received some welcome if they hadn't been tipped off,

Eddie Diehl made on extended visit on second the other evening. 'Twas not a social visit, but educational. His knowledge in the field of litera-ture was being bought up-to-date, or should I say up-to-the-minute! What was it—humor or tragedy?

"Isn't he cute?—quoting Kinzie. going into raptures over "the swell-est guy. Which one, Marg, the Swede or the football hero? Restrain thyself in this thy sudden popularity.

We have uncovered some new talent this past week and have even discovered a genius in our midst. Evelyn Amos should be on the stage with her ability for dramatizing stories. Gladys Wiggins has a ukele banging on the wall in her room, and what's more, she can play it. To most of us came the pleasant surprise that we have a lit-erary artist on second. She has stacks of poetry she has written that are quite deserving of praise, and her new novel is very interesting- -yes, indeed. Some day I'll be able to say about this rising young authoress. "Why, I knew Florrie Mae way back when—!"

I regret that I have to include her name once more, but Gladys W. has scored again. Did you notice she has a hair cut? Third floor took her at her word when she said she wished someone would whack it off. Edna Mae was the harbor- -ahem! It looks like it! But that Isn't all, oh my gracious no! That tall, dark and handsome cheerleader found a lock of that shimmering hair, all tied in a pretty ping ribbon, carefully placed in an envelope, in his mail box. What—a secret passion

The nightly feeds continue, but here's a new one for making oyster soup. Place two dozen oysters— fresh, if you please—In the filter of a percolator- Fill the pot with milk, butter—not oleo—and season to taste. Turn on the heat and sit down to gossip. Let it percolate indefinitely.

To the list of "look-alikes’ in New Light from the Lamps, can be added Bob Frantz for his resem-blance to 'Harold Teen" and Kenneth Thompson, who kinda sorta looks like Joe E. Brown.

Somebody ought to teach Morrell Sellers how to tip hack and sit on a chair, which is balanced on two of its legs. Marcell tried it in government class, and failed, or should I say "falled".

At supper one evening Ernest Reed spilled a pitcher of milk. However that had nothing to do with the 'cow' which was in the possession of either Russel Kingsley or Rimer Dadisman at the same meal.

Don McCoy asked to be directed to the office of Dean Smart. He was not so very wrong at that. It cannot be denied that Bright is smart.

Said Doc. Hershey in laboratory one day. “Use distilled water in almost all experiments. However, if the bottle is dirty, use your head“ Kathryn Enns almost followed his direction.

Edith Hughey is such a welcome student that Dr. Metzler told her he was glad to have her back in class. Yon know that three "skips' are all you are permitted, don't you, Hughey?

Club Selects Play;

Tryouts Next Week

"The Admirable Crichton'' was unanimously selected as The Thespian Club play, which will be produced late in November, at the meeting of the club last Monday night.

This four-act play was written by James A. Barrie, noted English au-thor, "The Admirable Crichton" is widely known and its popularity has earned it the title of one of the great plays of modern day. Barrio's play "You and I" was produced three years ago by The Thespian club.

The plot of the selected featured play evolves around a butler, “Crich-ton", who is the meek servant of an aristocratic English family. Mis-fortune changes the family's outlook on life as they are shipwrecked on an inland. "Crichton'' assumes command of the party and we find a complete reversal of the social or-der, servant becoming master.

How Barrie brings out this re-markable change and then the tragic reversal back to the norma sit-uation, when the family is rescued, is quite vivid and dramatic.

Tryouts for the play will be held next weeks. Miss Della Lehman, head of the dramatic department of the college will be in charge. Every Thespian member is urged to try out Each Individual will be permitted to try for two parts. The final decision will be left to the committee.

Attend Summer School

so efficient that they are seriously thinking of entering into National Matches.

Isn't it strange that some one with a nickname of "Sunny” should be going with a boy whose name is Fries?

If you asked Wesley DeCoursey, he should present to you a very inter-esting speech on the subject, “On Kissing Relatives" When he comes to the part where he says he liked to kiss baby cousins, please don't laugh as loud as did the principles of speech class.

The mystery of the week: Who is the person who thinks that apri-cots are dried peaches?

Dr. Boltnott's past is beginning to come to light. The other day he found it impossible to describe something without likening it to something in a pool hall.

Last Friday brought many dis-astrous results. Rilla Hubbard and Eddie Diehl broke their glasses while "Slug" Lambert nearly broke his head.

James Crill must have had about the same expression in the twilight when a certain Kline girl called him pilgrim as he had in daylight the other day in the gym when he hit the punching bag such a hard blow that a bucket of fresh paint came banging down.

Anyway whatever the reason was, Gladys Shank and Miriam Kimmel were busy on the campus of Kansas University this summer. At least eight of the S. C. M. summer students are attending classes this term. Carrie Alice Hanson and Dwight Horner joined Prof Bowman in the astronomy class. Since the class met in the evenings, they had ample opportunity to star gaze.

Lillian Pauls, Elma Minnick, and Wilbur Stern worked on education requirments for teachers by enrolling for educational psychology. Aud-rey Hammann and Ted Modine learned

more chemistry during the sum-mer months. Elizabeth Rodrick made a study of contemporary po-etry.

One should not conclude that these students enrolled for only one subject each. Several other courses in addition to the above mentioned were taken along with the heat.

Just Around

Mr and Mrs. Byron Hubbard and son, Damon, visited Rilla Hubbard Sunday afternoon.

Dohn Miller and “Doc" Charbon-neau spent the week end at their respective homes in Osborne.

Vera Flory and Dorothy Braid were Saturday night guest of Margaret Louise Kagarice at her home near Hutchinson.

Mr. and Mrs. Wiggins, of Genseo, visited their daughter Gladys, Sunday afternoon.

A number of loyal Bulldog enthus-iasts followed the team to Baker, Friday morning Dr. Bright went in the bus with the team, and the others that went were; Kathryn Enns, Edith Hughey, Gladys Wig-gins, Olive Weigang, Reba Barn-grover, Russel Yoder, Joelle Letke-man, Rilla Hubbard, Bill Thompson, Eddie Dieh, Gordon Yoder, Harold Fries, and Jack Oliver Kenneth Bentso, and Dale Embers grads of last spring who are attending K. U. this year, were also there. The team says this loud group made more noise than all the McPherson College together. Mrs. Astle went along, too, and she and Coach got off at Emporia on the way home, where they spent the week end visiting friends and attending homcoming at their alma materm Emporia Teachers.

R. E. Mohler attended the Brethren church conference of the south-west district at Hutchinson the past week. Mr. Mohler had charge of the adult Sunday School, the Men’s Work Program and assisted with a pro-gram sponsored by McPherson Col-

ingham Church the latter part of this week. The Rockingham Church is near Richmond, Missouri. He will also attend the district meeting of the Brethren Churches of northern Missouri. Accompanying him will be Mrs. Mohler, Elma Minnick, Katherine Deal, and Miss Hawkins.

During the past week end Mr. C. H. Dresher and Emerson Yoder made further excavations in the elephant fossil deposit near Bluff City. They were successful in adding to their already large collection of bones from the deposit.

Elmer Dadisman, Avis Smith, Mar-ianne Kreuger, James Crill, accom-panied Miss Shockley to the Hutchinson District Conference Sunday.

The Male Quartette, Mr. Fisher, and Vena and Vera Flory assisted with special music at the Hutchin-son Conference.

Dorothy Braid, Vera Heckman, Shirley and Geraldine Spohn, Row-ena Wampler, Edith Spengler, and Harold Larson were among those who attended the District Meeting held at Hutchinson.

Even after this proof of superior-ity, McPherson did not gain admittance to the North Central Associa-tion, but the victory soothed the hungry alumni.

Tonight the stands will be packed, pandemonium will reign, bands will play (Ach du Heber Augustine and Bei Mir Bist Du Schon), rooters will root, reporters will report, coaches will coach and do other things, players will play (maybe), tickets will got punch-drunk, Bull-rangles will be passed out, people will pass out, flags will flutter, hearts will flutter, Bethel will read responsive verses, officials will toot, hot dogs will bark, cars will park, Bulldogs will come out of the doghouse and get a now lease on life.

Yes, it will be a but time in the old town tonight, when Coach “Cuck" Astle's recuperated pigskin proteges will seek another first victory of this season against the same team which they bowled over last year.

Weiners, Kraut Enter Limelight in Battle

Famous battles in history were Thermopylae, Waterloo, Argonne, and the supreme court proposal, but some of these events which involved huge forces of people will equal in sheer rivalry the Bethel-Mcpherson razzle-dazzle, fling system, patriotic power and responsive reading gridiron exhibition tonight at 8 o'clock in a non-conference contest.

Since the days of our forefathers, these two schools have been looting forward to such meetings. Never before, though, has there been such intense opposition as will be displayed on the home gridiron in the fourth home game of the season.

On September 1, about 40 young Mennonites at Newton began to talk in excited tones concerning a certain school nearly 30 miles north near the McPherson water tower. In fact, these lads became so excited they resorted to the German tongue to give better expression to their true feelings.

Perhaps they had good reasons for this excessive display of emotions, for one year ago a group of so-called weak Brethren Bulldogs invaded the Graymaroon camp and blasted their first victory of the season to the tune of 13-12.

Charlie Tubbs and all his little buckets could not stop the onslaught of those inspired gridsters, among whom were Dale Stucky and Raymond "Dutch" Cowing. This was too much for the exasperated Beth-elites, because Stucky and Goering were related to many of their team-mates.

However, the plunging fullback (with an eye to future professional playing) almost shook the Newton stadium in an attempt to down the young upstarts. But "they shall not pass, kick, or run" was the motto of Coach "Buck" Astle's growling Can-

All the Mennonites from the sur-rounding territory, their close relatives, their distant relatives, their friends, and their creditors solemnly vowed that night in 1937 that McPherson College should never again trample their beloved sons of dear old Bethel.

Sophs, Frosh Prepare For War

Since the first of September, boys of the freshman and sophomore times have been drawing the battle lines for the annual grid classic between the two groups next month.

The exact date has not yet been determined but the game probably will be played on the college gridiron on the week between varsity encounters with Southwestern and Kansas Wesleyan.

Coaches from the Bulldog squad have not yet been selected, but class presidents and other leaders are or-ganizing the men into suitable teams for practice soon.

If the freshmen win this particular contest, they will have more freedom and may discard their caps. However, should the first year men lose, then there may be more strict rules for them to follow.

Two Kansas conference schools turned in victories last week. They, were Bethany and Ottawa.

With Ernest (Why Doesn't Somebody Tell Me These Things) Ireland, official Swede scout, on a tossing rampage, the Swedes opened up their air-conditioned attack to humble the Injury-riddled Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes 14-0.

McPherson spectators learned two lessons from the game: Bethany’s passes must be grounded and that the Swedes can be beaten with proper methods, both on offense and defense.

Individual players who were strong included Cox, Kepbari, Hall, Carlson, and Ireland, Bethany: Dupree, Smith, Chartler, and Hargrave.

Gene Johnson's Coyotes get their chance to test comparative strength tonight at Ottawa in an important encounter. They probably learned a few tricks from Bethany.

The other victor, Ottawa, turned loose Ramsey for long gains against William Jewell, a Baptist rival, to win 13-6 in a fast, smooth performance. William Jewell has a unique, quick shift that surprised Coach God-love's men for awhile. Ottawa also had several men an file injury list. Tonight's TiltOn paper, the Graymaroons rank higher than McPherson with wins over Alva Teachers. Bethany, and Doane and a narrow defeat by College of Emporia. The Bulldogs will attempt to repeat a feat of last year, and product the first victory of the season over Bethel.

In weight, Coach Astle’s men will slightly outweigh the visitors, but the latter are considered more speedy. However, the Mennonites are chunky and tough.

The rivalry between the two schools is unquestionable. Players such as Roy Robertson, Lee Kraus, Bob Wiegand, Raymond "Squeaky" Meyer, Elmer Ratzlaff, and Burt Weible carry a personal "grudge" against the Mennonites, many of whom are former schoolmates. Officials for the game are Moffat Eakes, McPherson referee; Ol-lie Thomas, Winfield, umpire; and Fran Welch, Emporia, head linesman.

Bow To Wildcats

Last Friday afternoon at Baldwin, Coach "Buck" Astle’s McPherson College Bulldogs dropped their second consecutive conference battle to the stubborn Baker Wildcats, 9 to 6.

Ineffective interference on line drives and thwarted air attacks spelled defeat for the Canines in their first away-from-home encounter. Many of the players had colds, which prevented them from surviving the biasing October sun on the gridiron, or staying in top form.

Late in the second quarter. Baker kicked quickly to the "coffin corner," from where McPherson was unable to make progress. Vos hell punted, then the Orangemen charged to the four-yard line on a series of passes and devastating reverses.

Hurt passed to Norris over the goal line for the tally. The atempt-ed kick was no good. After advanc-ing the ball to the McPherson 7-yard line late in the third canto, Kurt place-kicked for the additional margin of three points.

McPherson's first touchdown of the season came near the end of the third quarter as a result of a 44-yard pass from Funk to McGill. Again the try for extra point failed and neither team threatened thereafter. However, the Bulldogs unleashed a futile passing barage in the closing moments.

The Volleyball club divided, its members into two groups, the blondes and brunettes, for a good fast game last Wednesday- The score was 17-16 in favor of the blondes.

At a recent meeting of the Outing Club, an outline of the year's activ-ities was presented to the group.

ends; Richardson and Owen, tack-lea; Kraus and York, guards; And Meyer, center. Backs will probably be Voshell (signal caller), Reineck-er, Myers, and Funk.

Just to be consistent, the McPher-son coach also announced his immediate substitutes, who are Wanamaker and Gallon ends; Beal and Holmes, tackles; Rock and Maloney, guards; and Wiegand, center. Backs will be Cramer, Vetter. Nincehelser, and Bullinger or Brust.

These groups may be changed with last minute injuries or unusual sit-uations, but Astle does not want to place much importance upon the starting lineup, which is always tentative until the opening whistle is blown.

A few items concerning the Baker trip. The game does not deserve much mention, because it should be forgotten by all persons concerned.

Freshmen members of the squad responded heartily to the call for entertainment by appearing on the program, followed by other players. Bill Rock’s singing and Raymond "Squeaky” Meyer’s real honest-to-goodness "jitterbug" dance were the most popular.

Many of the players had colds, which decreased resistance in the hot October afternoon. It was parent's day in the Raker stadium.

Gene Kemper seems to believe McPherson still has possibilities. He booms Dave McGill as an all-conference prospect. Of course, everyone knows the Bulldogs will place sev-eral men on the mythical eleven this year.

Watch the four sets of name-alikes perform for the Mennonites tonight. They are Ed and Leonard Buller, Dick and Gib Calle, Joe and Orlo Goering, and Bill and Chet Un-

A special night reach will bring 70 Bethel boosters up to McPherson tonight and the same number prob-ably will make the trip in automo-

Notice the new, quick "fan formation" used tonight by the Bulldogs. It is deceptive and saves much time in huddles. When timed accurately, the new shift certainly deceives the opponents.

Games on other gridirons tonight are Baker at College of Emporia, Sterling at Bethany, and Pittsburg at Southwestern.

This month’s activity will be entertainment for the entire organisation on Thursday, October 27.

Committees were appointed to plan the entertainment and to provide refreshments for the outing. Further plans were discussed for other types of outings, including a bicycle hike, ice skating, and sleigh riding in winter weather, breakfast hike, nature, and over-night hike next spring.

Coach Otto Unruh of Bethel is shown above shaking hands with the captain of the Graymaroons, joe Goering, Moundridge.

Unruh has served longer than any other, coach at a denominational school in the state, having been at

the Mennonite institution nine years Goering, 180 pound center, will be to action tonight against strong rivals, the McPherson Bulldogs.

A collection , of propaganda periodicals circulated by the Allies and the Germans during the world war has been presented to the University of Missouri school of Journalism.

Two cars of enthusiastic students journeyed to Baldwin along with the bus last Friday to see the Bulldogs and Wildcats clash in their annual football game.

Baker charges visiting students seventy-five cents to see games, and that was more than they wanted to pay, so all piled into the bus and sat on top of each other trying to get in free. However, the ticket-taker demanded six bits. Only the boys from Gordon Yoder’s car had to produce the cash.

With six girls yelling, at the top of their lungs and with the Halloween noise-makers, there was plenty of racket on the Bulldog side of the field. Olive Wiegand practically left her voice at Baker; it was used so much in yelling. Mrs. Astle al-most fainted when Dave McGill caught that pass and made the touchdown. Rilla Hubbard got too warm. At least it appeared that way, for she took off her pep sweater. (She had a blouse under it). Joelle Letke-man surely did get a good picture of Doc. Bright running the chain; at least it was a graceful pose.

All Gladys Wiggins and Edith Hughey were waiting for was Buck’s signs and they were ready to go in tlio game and play. (What position do the girls play? Swayback?) Rilla and Eddie Diehl seemed to

have hard luck. At least Rilla did, because she broke Eddie’s glasses and Boy Robertson broke hers. Reba Barngrover and Rilla tried to cheer the boys up after the game; at toast they rode on the bus from Baldwin to Ottawa.

Wasn't it swell of Ottawa to let everyone in for their interesting game with William Jewell? Poor Jim Lambert didn’t know where he was or what was taking place, did he? It wasn’t Rilla's fault though, she explained everything to him several times. The bus driver did some skillful driving in getting out of the gate at Ottawa. It took him thirty minutes, but he really worked, and everyone gave him a big hand. It was quite a sleepy bunch that stopped at Emporia about one o'clock to get cokes. Not much was said on the way home; however, Bill Thompson and Diehl talked about politics trying to keep Gordon Yoder awake. The cars rolled on to the campus about three o'clock Saturday morning and everyone was in bed like a flash.
