The week of November 13-19 has been set aside as Religious Em-phasis Week on the McPherson College Campus.

The Student Christian Movement in cooperation with the college administration and the Brethren church, has secured the services of Dr. Warren D. Bowman of Washington, D. C. during Religious Emphasis Week.

Dr. Bowman is an authority on personal and family relations and has written a book entitled "Homemakers of Tomorrow" which has proved very popular because of its practical and helpful material.

Dr. Bowman will speak at the Brethren church on Sunday, November 13, and every night of the following week. The college will have Dr. Bowman as guest speaker in chapel during the week.

Following is a program of Dr. Bowman's talks to the S. C. M. group. All of the talks will be held in the Student Union Room except the personal conference which will be carried on in the S. C. M. office, the first door to the right at the foot of the chapel stairs.

Monday 3:15-4:20--- "Friendship," Tuesday 3:15-4:30— "Courtship." Tuesday 4:30-5:30 — Personal Conferences.

Mohler Says To Give What We Have

Prof. R. E. Mohler opened the chapel period Wednesday with devotions and prayer, in which the chapel choir responded. The choir sang "When Wilt Thou Save the People?"

that which I have I give unto you" was the subject chosen by Prof. Moh-ler for an inspirational talk. In applying this to our giving today, he said, "People that do not give any silver or gold usually become very hard. We ought to be as willing to contribute to a religious life of faith as we are for cheap entertainments.

"The student who does not give now will never give. Often a man becomes so enwrapped in details of his profession, he forgets to live."

To the question, "What can a stu-dent give?," Prof. Mohler suggested several. A student can give money; friendship and clean living may be the turning point in someone's life. The biggest thing, however, is to give one's best to that he might realize the best of his dreams as he grows older. This is accomplished as he develops right attitudes of conduct and thought.

Harnly Speaks Before Student Chapel Group

Dr. Harnly gave a cheerful talk in chapel last Monday. He said, "I would rather see the good than the evil in the world, I like to think of the world as not going from bad to worst, but improving in the long run.

"A person can find the way to live the best kind of a life in the Sermon on the Mount and other biblical passages.

"The belief that there is nothing you can do that matters is entirely wrong. For nations are still strong or weak according to the quantity of righteousness in their govern-ments."

Kline hall has decided to have open house tomorrow night. Many people bumped into closed house there Hallowe'en night.

Instead of girls clad in hair nets, housecoats, and sleeping garments, guests will see the girls with their best, curls, races and frills.

During the hours of 8 to 10:30 there will be no ropes on the doors and all the brooms will be locked in the closet, where they will stay until they become useful as weapons next Hallowe'en.

Eighteen Volunteers Return, Tired,

With dragging stop and hollow eyes the Manchester conference group straggled back to their classes Tuesday morning with 1800 miles to their credit since the preceding Thursday afternoon when vivacious, high-spirited folks sped to the United Student Volunteer Conference at North Manchester, Indiana.

Smucker Sets Record Carl Smucker set the record time by making the trip in 20 hours; Miss Ida Shockley with Kirk Naylor's assistance pushed through in 22 hours. Charles Sheller has a few more tales on his record, but he got there in 26 hours. After all, arguing yourself out of a $5.00 fine, getting mixed up in the railroad loading docks of Atchison, and increasing car trouble during a rainy night do not tend to cut down the traveling time. Nor do near-sideswiping cars and

Clocks on the campus play a very important part in the student schedule. The all-important clock of course, is the one in the business office. This one is responsible for getting Jezebell (or is it Belzebub) blown, according to Gordon Yoder's tests with the town whistle, three

Musical striking is the outstanding feature of the lovely cased pendulum clock in the library. So far the physical education building and Harnly Hall have no clocks except the food department alarm clock in the basement of the science building. But it's a different story at the various dormitories.

Kline Hall clocks and watches vary so much that one girl, desiring to get the accurate time before her date, dashed madly from room, to room and was rewarded only with the following baffling account: Opal Hoffmans' alarm—3:08; Shirley Spohn's watch—3:10; Miriam Kim-mel's modern streamliner—3:15: Maurine Anderson's—3:07; while the clock in the hall registered 3:09.

In Fahnestock Hall the atmosphere seems to be a bit severe on clocks—some disappeared (perhaps through a window one morning) long ago; others find it necessary to lie on one side in order to keep going. A few working students set the alarm and get up with it-others just set it and at its first click, clamp it down and roll over for another snooze until their sing bell disturbs them.

In Arnold Hall there must be hundreds of clocks judging by the noise, for instead of awakening at the cock’s first crow, most of those sleeping dreamers come la at the sound of an alarm.

Some who are heavy snorers need to have the clock very close to their ears and therefore place is under the

New Date Schedule For SCM Commissions

On Tuesday at 4 o'clock the World Service Commission will meet in the new Y. W. room, and members of the peace Group will convene in Room 5 of Sharp Hall at this same time.

The Personal and Family Rela-tions Commission will hold their meeting in the S. U. R. from 4 until 4:30 o'clock on Wednesday, while the Rural Life Commission gathers in the new Y. W. room.

Wednesday from 6:30 until 7:30 is the time for the Creative Leisure Commission to meet in the photography room on the first floor of Sharp Hall. There is a possibility of an additional period being found for-this group.

Miss Forney and Miss Heckethorn were in Wichita Friday to attend the Librarians' Round Table of the Kansas Librarians Association.

Others, who are inclined to turn over and continue steeping, put their clocks on the other side of the room so that they have to got up, grope their way around chairs or tables, and turn off that heathenish noise.

But most of them really don't need alarm clucks, because those in the adjoining rooms start ringing at an early hour. Some people of course must cram last minute knowledge into their gapping heads and nodding mouths. Exams are extremely detrimental on beauty sleep. Ardys Met's alarm is most annoying of all; why must she do her janitor work so early?

Also, Gladys Wiggins likes to plant these abominable toys outside people's doors with the alarm set at sonic outrageous hour. Evelyn Amos makes a doll out of hers -clock for the face, and a sweater for the body. A few use their clock in an effort to get to class on time.

But two clocks in the same room! Oh! how maddening! Do they tick together? Will one catch up with the other! But before the question can be answered the room-mates cease arguing and fall asleep.

At Horner Hall there are three alarm clocks, each of a different, make, sound, and appearance. None of them are allowed to ring before seven in the morning or the owner will be severely punished (what a wonderful, wonderful rule). All seem to be in disgustingly good con-dition except one, a Miss Ingraham, that seems to run around her face a little tun fail, and refuses to ring her alarm.

But then, how could anybody keep up with his busy schedule during his busiest day on such a busy campus if it wasn't for the buzz of the clocks?

Dr. Heaston Stresses Importance of Health

Dr. W. C. Houston, a local physi-cian and former student of McPher-son College, used as his topic, "The Health Program," in his address to the student body, Friday, November 4.

"To no people is health more important than it is to the college stu-dent," said Dr. Heaston.

Mr. Heaston named the three H's necessary to attain highest things in life. They are health, helpfulness, and happiness.

"It is the simple things that we need to keep well. Things are so common until we need them.

"It isn't the things that we know that count, butt it is the things that we do." remarked Mr. Heaston.

Two remarks made by Dr. Heaston that are outstanding are "Keeping well in no much better than getting well," and "You Can't expect a good personality from a sudden rundown condition."

Library Gets Books

The Library has received a number of books and pamphlets as a gift of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. They include

zle of Palestine," "Government in Fascist Italy", by Steiner, "Our Trade with Britain" by Bidwell, "The Federalist", by Hamilton, Jay, and Madison. "Analysts of the Problem of War." by Eagleton, and "Cooperation or Coercion"? by Jacks.

Military Training Enrollment Leaps

To Be Popular Subjects. Cambridge, Mass.-- (ACp)--War scares and international crisis have brought enrollments in military and naval training courses to new highs.

At Harvard University here un-dergraduates are flocking to the two courses with naval science enrollment almost double that of a year ago and military science regis-tration up more than a third.

Mr. Leonard Walker, studio photographer for the Quadrangle is ill in the hospital at Halstead and will not able to resume his work at his studio until late this month; consequently, no student pictures will be taken until that time.

Presentation of the three oine-act plays which was scheduled for last night, has been postponed until a week from next Monday, November 21. The short plays which the play production class will produce, are "lie", "The Mangers," and "The Londonberry Air."

As the homecoming queen and her attendants sedately presided over pep chapel yesterday from their place on the red and white dec-orated stage, Captain Dave McGill officially christened McPherson College's new mascot.

The Bulldog terrier, carried by Mrs. W. P. Astle, was named Scrappy in an impressive ceremony.

Before the ceremony, Tom and Dick, Coach Buck Astle's little boys, put on an act which showed the Builder's constructings being de-molished by a Bulldog.

Tonight the tower which the Builders have constructed, may put on a similar Rebel act.

Student's and faculty alike were stunned last Saturday evening when they heard of Joelle Letkeman's health.

The loss of Joelle from our campus was a distinct blow to many campus activities, for he made a contribution to most of them. Shocked be-cause of Joelle's illness, students are glad to hear that he will be back again after Christmas Vacation.

Library Expands With Addition Of New Books

The library has received a number of new books and a periodicals in the last, few days. The periodi-cal, "Forensic", a gift from Bill Thompson, is the official organ of Pi Kappa Delta.

Milton W. Goering presented the library four books as a gift from the Turkey Creek teachers. The books are on the general subject of education.

"American Authors—1600-1900", a biographical dictionary of American literature, by Kunitz and Hay-craft. ''Personality and the Culture Pattern" by Plant. "contemporary British Literature (3rd ed) by Manly and Rickert, "A Study of the Modern Drama" (2nd ed) by Clark, "Play Directing" by Crafton. ''Dialect Play-Readings" by Franken-stein and "First Person Singular" by Ryerson.

Ruth Wedel's Pictures Attract Much Attention

Two unusual paintings in the Art Department are receiving quite a lot of attention as they are nearing completion. The artist is Ruth Wedel, a special art student who last year attended Bethel College.

The first painting is a still life in oils of a little pair of boy's shoes, dusty brown, and scuffed. There is a pathetic story concerning this painting, for the shoes were worn by Ruth's little nephew not long before his death last summer.

The second painting Ruth is making from a sketch which she made of a little arched foot bridge near Newton.

Before the opening whistle is blown, Miss Sarah Olwin, sophomore of Cushing, Okla-homa, will be crowned as

ginia Kerlin, freshman, Twin Falls, Idaho, and Miss Elma Minnick, Jun-ior, Hardin, Missouri, will be her attendants.

After practicing for two months, the now McPherson College Band will appear in uniforms for the first time this year. The musical organi-zation, which has promoted pep during the season, is directed by Loren Crawford.

The McPherson High School band, directed by August San Romani, will march during the intermission between halves. One of the largest crowds of the season is expected to witness the non-conference battle against the Moundbuilders.

Tonight at 7:30 in the new physi-cal education building, faculty members , alumni, football players, and the rest of the student body will join in a huge social, which will in-clude games and refreshments. American legion Reminds

With the American Legion in charge, there also will be various displays appropriate to Armistice Day. Southwestern will not be represented by bands or other organizations.

Headed by Dr. Claud R. Flory, the homecoming committee includes Dr. J. D. Bright, Prof. J. H. Fries, Prof. Don Paden, Rush Holloway, and Mrs. Leonard Wiggins.

Peace Group To Organize City

Addison Saathoff announces that interest is picking up down town in the peace movement which was launched last week on the McPherson College campus. Tomorrow the entire town will be canvassed in the interests of peace.

Saathoff, peace leader on the campus, feels that if the college will do its part well, sufficient in-terest will be stirred up down town to organize a peace group of the city. McPherson college students' part is to help in the canvassing. It is hoped that a sufficient number of students will volunteer so that the town can be completely canvassed Saturday. Students interested are asked to report to Saathoff or Elmer Dadisman.

Those who are interested in peace but who are unable to help Saturday are urged to attend the peace meet-ing Tuesday at 4 o'clock in room five, Sharp Hall. A survey of the plans for peace and reports of the canvassing will be presented.

Next Sunday evening Dr. Rufus D. Bowman will speak to the B. Y. P. D. Dr. Bowman is president of Bethany Biblical Seminary in Chicago.

Last Sunday evening the program was given by the International Relations Club. Addison Saathoff spoke on economics as related to a peace, and Wesley Darrow spoke on the influence of movies.

Then we see Paden coming down the center aisle with those long but graceful strides. We all watch an-xiously to see the smile on Flory's face, and to see what color suit he has on this time.

If you hear a hearty laugh earning from the faculty's pew in chapel, it must be that of Miss Lehman or Miss Warner. Hershey and Bowman alt very quietly, but they are always present.

What does E. M. of the Nerts col-umn in the Dally Republican say about the Bulldogs now? Upon the assumption that they were all bark and no bite, the howling wolf from down-town renamed them Pekingese.

Even before the C. of E. victory, the Bulldogs played good ball as is evidenced by the narrow margins in all the tough games played. Mac's schedule is no breather.

E. M. and others who have been howling will have to yell down a different alley.

McPherson teams, although not always on top of the Kansas Confer-ence heap, are always a real threat to any team in the loop or outside. Ask any team in the league how many times the Bulldogs have knocked off the leaders and paved way for new champs. We are told that last year the Wesleyan team had their pictures taken with the

To those who, long before we did, enjoyed the friendly and homey atmosphere of McPherson College; who learned through Bowman how

The Spectator has had its face lifted. For many years it has been published without a single essenti-al chance in make-tip. Many of the most conservative newspapers the country over have adopted the now streamline headlines. Ordinary newspapers are wary about a sud-den chance in style, but the college staff knows that the students will have to read their sheet because it has no campus rivals.

The staff welcomes any criticism or suggestions as to make-up. If you don't want the rag to look like this, say so.

To Walter Dickens and all other contributors who hide behind anony-mousity of pen name: The Specta-tor, like any other reputable news-paper, refuses to publish any contributions that are not signed by the writer.

Profs Attract Eyes In Chapel

As soon as the first whistle blows, Hess's class is dismissed and he makes a dash for chapel in order to be on time. Why don't the rest of the students follow in his footsteps? Has any one seen Mohler's fountain pen? It has been missing from Chapel lately. It Occupies a prominent place, for it is always resting

caption underneath the print reading "Kansas Conference Champs." The lowly Bulldogs made them erase that. Too bad.

And this year's C. at E. team couldn't decide whether to give the gold footballs that go with a championship to just lettermen of the entire squad. The Bulldogs probably decided that question for them in about sixty minutes.

The absence of a few players who thought that because they were athletes the world owed them a living has done no harm to the team. On the contrary, when they left in a huff, a new spirit of unity came over the team.

Southwestern and Johnson's mob are going to get the bites of their lives when they hit the Bulldog den.

Bulldogs never are good lap-dogs, and don't like to be doted over by ladies. They play for keeps and hate being called Pekingese. interesting science is. Who dodged Fries in Sharp's halls. Who learned to cut chapel without being missed.

To those who have established many of McPherson's traditions, to all old grads, students and faculty extend their welcome.

And many old grads break from the maternal embrace of Alma Mater with renewed and poignant mem-ories of college days, and with a feeling that the students of today are carrying on.

Ramblin's

Oct, 31. We heard a very good speech on peace today in chapel, one of the best we have ever heard. The spirit of the speech was broken a bit by the announcements which followed, but we appreciate the fact that this fall, with a few exceptions, the announcements have always preceded the speeches. A fellow had to be careful of his facial expression today, what with Quad photograph-ers bobbing here and and there without notice. From the looks of things, we are going to have a good book this year. We were startled into the realization that tonight the spooks walk again when a big firecracker went off in the library. We thought at first that the Martians were returning, but it was only some college lad without anything more construc-tive to do. Miss Forney took it all in the interests of fun, as we hoped she would do.

steps of the Ad Building but Paden's car! Surely a queer place for a col-lege professor to park his car! Oh, not! This is Hallowe'en. That ac-counts for it. And a wagon box on the porch of the girl's dorm. Someone must have had a lot of ambition last night.

Nov. 2. We were late to class again this morning. We couldn't understand it because we go by radio time down at the igloo. Finally we dis-covered that the radio had one bad tube, and the time we got over the radio was just a bit slow. That accounts for our tardiness. Popeye's "Blow me down" is certainly a valid expression for these dnys in Kansas. It is all we can do to keep our wig on in the face of such wind, Mr. King told us in chapel about the pigs that didn’t have hydraulic brakes. We guess they weren't built by GMC.

Nov. 3. Heigh-ho! And off to Indiana we go! Not even a drizzling rain can dampen our spirits enough to make us stay home. Six people and two suitcases make a good load for a ‘30 Chevy coach, but we can stand being crowded for a trip like this. We got picked up by the police in Salina for going a bit too rapidly through their fair city, but it didn't cost us anything.

Nov. 4. When we read our Ramblin's we discovered that someone had "padded" the column. The padding made good propaganda for the campus political leaders, so in the interests of lively elections, we let the paddings go. In fact, we appreciate the padding. We are going to give it to Bud Selve's Presbys, because when they meet the McPherson Bulldogs tonight, they are going to need padding, and lots of it. We thank Jerry Kerry for attempting to keep her column simple enough for us to read.

Nov. 6. Well. in far-off Indians we received the report that the Bulldogs had beaten the Presbys, so when we met some Manchesterite who was gloating over his football victory, we said proudly, "We won our game, too. We bent the College of Emporia in Kansas." We are glad we gave the Presbys the padding out of our column; they needed it as we prophesied they would. These Indiana stu-dents eat breakfast at 6:30. We can't figure out why they eat so early; neither can they. They like to sleep late the same as we do.

Nov. 6, Well, goodbye have been said and pictures have been taken and we are off for McPherson again The night was perfect for traveling until we ran into rain, sleet, and snow in Missouri. As we passed through Hammond, Illinois, Sheller said we should get some egg sandwiches. We said, "Why?" He replied, "So we can have Hammond eggs." With puns such as these we rolled along through the night in the direction of Kansas.

Northwestern University's Prof. M. O. Carlson for four years has ex-perimented with raising orchids in bottles on diets varying from carrots, beets and tobacco to sugar and beef extracts.

Moon Is Heroine

Nature’s curtains cleared away just in time Monday evening so that the mono-opera glass or four-inch telescope in Harnly Hall could be focused on the heroine of the evening, the moon.

The astronomers had set the time for the eclipsed moon to rise one minute before sunset, but they must have used Addison Saathoff's "fal-lacious reasoning", since it rose one minute after sundown.

Due to excessive so-called heat waves in the atmosphere, acts II and III of the astronomical Show, presented by Jupiter and Saturn, were poorly seen. Not to be outdone by the earth's satelite, one of Jupiter’s moons was in eclipse.

Dr. Harnly, who has an obsession for Kansas sunrises, looked at the rising moon along with about twenty students.

New Lights

The Lamps

We Lamps sometimes wonder if we should continue keeping the name of the power house from whence come our lights a deep dark secret. Of course we know there are a good many persons who think they know us Lamps, but after all, is it the lamp which makes the light?

But the people who don't know at all — this business of being agree-able with our friends reprobating "New Lights" right to our faces—It about puts us out. May I say just this much to those hostile persons who so impetuously proclaim ani-madversions towards this column: we Lamps do not intend this column to be a source of knowledge, for textbooks and teachers have been provided for that very purpose. Neither do we make any pretentions of being a voice of the common people. We do not deny the culpable ness of this column. So what if we do seem Irrational at times?

And another thing this to Mr. Jerry Kerry—sometimes dim lights are more desirable then those which shine too brightly.

the Spec. We don’t believe it, but then if there were more people who didn’t read the Spectator there would be a conclusion to all this capering censure. Which is a very foolish thing to say when our only excuse for writing this is that it may be read.

Doesn't it make one feel domesticated to sit around the fireplace (radiator) in this wintry weather? Such a cozy feeling. We were amazed to overhear someone comment, "Isn’t it awful!" It made us feel like saying, "Oh you ignoramus! you probably won't even like heaven if you get there."

We guess that some people do lack an aesthetic sense. But really, there are so many things which most people see but never notice. We expect, though, that most of you have made note of that mighty handsome pugilistic-looking face which is part of the anatomy of Marvin Fox. Or J. Henry Dasenbrock's bright red trousers and jacket. At first sight we thought perhaps he had forgotten to remove his pajamas or was already springing (?) out in his red flannels.

All these people and their elephants! Maurice Anderson and Helen Cole display two shiney black ones on their desk. We noticed Prof. Crawford with a pink one— of all things. Doris Dresher has a collection of them. A mob is wearing white elephants, too. Don’t they know that a white elephant is something you want to got rid of and can't?

What caused that wistful look to pass over Elma Minnick's face when we were singing "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" at the College Sing Friday night?

Someone has calculated that Kline has less then 10% of the girls of M. C. yet she furnished 33% of the candidates for the Homecoming Queen. From what we've heard, the Kline dwellers have a tendency towards exclusive-ness this year. Tomorrow night we can see for ourselves how they look —and act.

Washington, D. C.—(ACP)—Tax Collectors are going to college this fall, especially on Saturday.

For with the recent supreme court ruling that football is not an essential educational activity, football games are pouring thousands of dollars into the federal treasury each Saturday from the ten per cent tax on each ticket over 40 cents.

Experts estimate that the government will collect 150,000 on a good Saturday—and a "good Saturday" is one on which approximately 500,000 spectators pass through the stadium turnstiles.

"Whosever burns midnight oil shall live to burn again." It sounds like a Flossie Fisher story but this is really going to be a ponderous essay on cramming.

Any good crammer waits to study until the night night before the test. Up to that time he has perhaps opened his book three times—but not more.

At ton o’clock it suddenly dawns on him that tomorrow is a nine-weeks test in Prof. Spitzpoodle's English class and so he turns on the lights, sits down at the study table with a book in hand, and crams— crams—crams!

After three hours of frantically trying to pigeon-hole all his information —What are the results? Shreds of torn hair lying about on the floor, the table cover in pieces, papers flying everyplace, one rather injured book lying on the floor after narrow ly missing a sudden collision with the mirror! The individual himself is under—absolutely under a sea of useless facts and he goes to bed making wild vows that next nine he's a reformed man—and he’ll do his studying each day rather than— cramming!

Does anyone enjoy those puerile Flossie Fisher stories? Fail to understand how college intellectuals could be stimulated by such simple twad-dle.

"What's done cannot be undone." wrote Wiliam Shakespeare. On the other hand. "What's been done can be done again." The Presbys bit the dust. Beat Southwestern! Yea, Bulldogs!

Pacifism Is Not

Sentimentalism

Mr. George N. Bryan, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in McPherson, spoke on November 8 to the members of

Introduced by Addison Saathoff, Mr. Bryan, despite his small size, talked convincingly of the means of averting another war.

"War is not over" said Mr. Bryan. Then he proceeded to point out that regardless of the probability of war, each student cab do his part if he realizes that great need for peace.

That pacificism is not a sentimental, soft-hearted philosophy, was the theme of Mr. Bryan's talk. He allowed that war propaganda can involve as much emotionally as pacificism.

World peace cannot be* had until the nations are willing to pay for it. Among other things each nation will have to give up the right of "hand to hand combat" to settles its disputes. Each nation must submit its disputes and recognize a higher cen-tral authority.

The fact that peace is a far-distant thing should not discourage us. Instead it should be a challenge to work for the ideal, all nations working in harmony.

Mr. Bryan's talk followed after devotionals had been read by Rosalie Fields and a prayer had been sung by Lucille Wade.

In Arnold Hall

Some of the college girls from town seem to have found some attraction in our domicile. It can't be because of our privilege to stay out until 11 o'clock on Saturday night. Maybe Fahnestoci had some influence. Anyway, a swarm of those girls spent Saturday night here. Came more after girls, we'd really like to know you better. And we’ll try to give you a good sample of our family life.

Our "all-American Drawback" reports that she isn’t going to step out with any mates until her gridiron hero is in necking condition again. How considerate!

Aren't we proud, having one of us elected for Homecoming Queen. Congratulations, Sally! And what's more, one of our freshmen rated too. Here's to Kerlin who is one of the queen's attendants.

This little incident didn't take place in Arnold, but it did happen to one of our number. And besides, it’s much too good to pass by. Hughey, not experienced in handling small pups, held "Scrappy" a little too long while at Emporia last Friday. The consequences—thoroughly soaked.

If the halls were wider we could play badminton—If we had a net. The other night I walked down the hall and wham! a shuttle-cock whizzed past my head Keagle and Vera Flory were trying to master the "smash."

If Edna Mae Russel has "hopes", then I reckon some of the rest of us needn't be worried. At the present she’s embroidering pillow cases for her hope chest. That means she's out to catch her a man. Take your pick, Edna, of one of those three "M's—Merle, Merlin, or Marvin.

It seems that there were more girls in meetings upstairs than at prayer meeting in the parlor Monday.

night. Some were "swinging" their way to higher education. Others were absorbed in tales of childhood days and relating how they got " that scar", which is, by the way, it hilarious subject.

Metz and Amos have two clocks in their room. Every night they drift into their slumbers to the steady tick, tock of the clock (gee, I'm get-ting poetic). But the other morning Metz came to yelling "Mine’s ahead! Mine's ahead!", meaning the clock of course. What keen ears you have, grandma! But while I'm talking about these two, here's one that’ll simply slay you. Wednesday morning they awoke miserably aware that the bed was slightly damp. Time to laugh—but wait, Metz has an excuse. She blames it on that wet towel she put on her head the night before. Tsch! tsch!

While she was passing through Buhler last Sunday, Wiggins stopped to make a call. But, being as how Joelle is an invalid, he couldn’t come in answer to her knock, so Wiggle-Waggle had to be content with a conversation over the telephone. Gee whiz, it must have been good, to have lasted for fifteen minutes.

Greetings and salutations of welcome to all the former students and friends of McPherson College!

Campus Teems In Early Morn

When old Mac sun raises his head over the eastern horizon, M. C. campus looks calm, peaceful, and quiet, but by 7:55 it fairly teems with activity. In the note book of old Mother West Wind dropped (purpos-ly, we hope) outside the Spec office we found the reports of the Merry Little Breezes which run something like this:

Dorothy Braid and her violin, is headed for Harnly Hall: Mary Ellen Slead with her arms full of towels is hurrying to Phy. Ed. building; Luther Harshbarger is for once calmly walking along as though he hadn't a care in the world. What was it that didn’t happen to detain him so that he had no need to rush to reach class on time up two minutes after the last whistle.

Assistant Coach Seidel was driving tie; Asta Ostlind was madly flying around the drive. Miss Colline with her happy "Good-Morning" hurried toward the art room, and watch out! Here comes gladys Shank gaily racing with the oscillating water sprinklers that Forney insists on pulling near the walks.

Katherine Deal and La Vonn John from the north east corner of the campus as Edna Kesler hurries from the west with Marguerite Borw-er. In the Ad building Miss Shock-lay composedly unlocks her door while Bob Frantz races toward third floor. Arlene Barley mails letters in the business Office while some of Dr. Claude Flory's students rejoice (or do they) when they find the English books have arrived.

Nevin Fisher walks rapidly to-ward Harnly Hall and a Kline Hall lassie smiles kindly down upon the bustle as she calmly eats her break-fast.

8:05; The last straggler has darted into class, and all remains quiet until chapel whistle blows. 289 416Y 517Y 510W 676W 1379 690J 676W 313 934 408Y 680W 266 449J 1228 £tS 266 1684 680Y 1228 798Y 680W 419X 1684 393W 676W 189 189 _773Y 422J 266

Hurrah for the Republicans. And what's more, Mohler says that the country will be safe for another two yeans. (Well, of course, a few did boo him.)

Attention would-be music teachers! Dr. Flory is looking for some one to give him piano lessons. If Vena Flory doesn't agree to teach him, you might be able to secure him as a pupil.

Said Lillian Pauls to grocery clerk. "Please give me some dried oranges with lots of juice."

Olan Ninchelsor and 'Foxy' had quite a time in church last Sunday night. They were pulling the fur out of Mary Ellen Slead’s coat collar and placing it conspicuously on the shoulders of Delbert Barley's suit. Even though it did look rather sus-picious, we know that Delbert and Mary Ellen were good (at least during church time.)

GOP Against Demo In Pre-Election Rally

interesting political rally when Mugwump Bright acted as mediator while Czar Saathoff expounded the Republican views and Boss Thompson pleaded the Democrat points.

Winning the toss of Doc Bright's coin, Mr, Taylor Ratner Reed (Saa-thoff spoke first, followed by Mr. Houston Huxman McGill (Thompson).

The McPherson College Band entertained between speeches. After both Reed and McGill had spoken once, rebuttals took place in the same order. Then the audience, which had been divided into politi-cal groups, were allowed to heckle the speakers. The Republicans kept H. H. McGill busy for a while with their questions. Then the Democrats asked Sathoff a few.

That ended the rally proper, but the Republicans stayed to have their picture taken for the Quadrangle.

Just Around

ed to explain that preachers are just like other people, didn't she? It seems that Carl Smucker is a "whiz" at doing imitations. Maybe, if you ask him, he'll imitate for you some day.

What’s this we hear about Leon-ard Vaughn dating Marianne Krueger? Have you noticed the bright flowers she's been wearing in her hair lately? No, you're wrong, they were sent from home.

If you warn to ask Paul Prather if he were in love, he would answer very emphatically, "Yes, I am!" Even in the class room he admits it. What will these young folks do next?

"Moses" (Dohn Miller to you) is beginning to look like Blue Beard himself. There's a rumor about that Dohn is going to be the brunt of a joke one of these days, if he doesn't shave off that "wool". I’m told that it has something to do with dog biscuits.

Margaret Hamm must aspire to become an artist some day. She carries a picture book with her everywhere she goes, even to church. Tsk, Tsk.

Workers Back

The details of a so-called high chair episode may be gained from Mary Elizabeth Hoover. Illinois and Indiana signed a great many of their road signs with the letters, m. p. h.; Kirk Naylor and James Crill are still wondering if those are the gov-ernor's (?) initials. Geraldine Spohn slept -well, comfortably. The frailer occupants of Smucker's car seemed affected by traveling sickness —Rowena Wampler, Gladys Shank, and Vera Heckman. Or, perhaps, in the first instance, it was just a case of eagerness.

Dean Frantz and Harold Larsen joined the group an their way home from the journalism convention at Cincinnati. Luther Harshbarger talked his group into talking Smuck-er into taking a longer route home and swing up into Chicago.

Ruth Smith and Gladys Shank thrilled everybody with their soft sweet music during the Sunday

ing up that occasion was Dwight Horner’s remarks on being bearers of peace and goodwill back to our colleges.

In a cause that will ultimately succeed than succeed in a cause which will ultimately fail."

Throughout the conference various members of the McPherson party met and talked with former friends and relatives. Miss Shockley was able to introduce us all to her sister, another Miss Shockley, James Crill, Mary E. Hoover, Elizabeth Mohler, Esther Sherfy, and Carl Smucker met cousins, aunts, or uncles, or in the last name mentioned, his own family. Orville Beehler was happy to see at that campus a hometown friend

McPherson students would be in-terested to know that former stu-dents including Philip Davis of La-verne, Cal, Mildred Davis of Mun-cie, Indiana, Bruce Wood of Iowa, Lola Richwine of Montana, and Inez Goughenour of Iowa, all were at the all "Back home."

Bruce Wood entertained the group from McPherson at his house Satur-day evening following the play. "Under the Shadows, written by one of the faculty members of Manchester College. At the conference banquet earlier in the evening, Leonard, "Buddy'’, Vaughn was seen happily situated in the midst of a Bethany group with whom he associated last year. Opal Hoffman was positively thrilled by the midnight beauty of the Manchester campus and it probably was beautiful because Rowena and Geraldine concur on that belief, too.

As a result of a psychological test given during recreational hour most of the M. C. group were recommended for Institutional care. On the occasion, Miss Shockley asked which name was to be written, and she was gently advised to use her maiden name.

Sunday morning found Opal Hoffman so flustered that she poured her cocao over her breakfast cereal. Looking at his map, Charles Sheller broke into humor with his remark, "Let's have ham-an' eggs when we get into Hamon, Illinois".

The morning address was given by C. D. Bonsack who challenged every student volunteer to lose his life by giving it to some worthy cause. The

conference closed at the dinner table with a short service conducted by Leland Brubacker and a period of si-lent meditation during which the bells in the chimes tower rang out with "Take the Name of Jesus with You."

Elizabethtown-13, McPherson-19, Juaniate-21, Bridgewater-30, Bethany-30, Manchester-85, speakers and guests-34. Every delegate waved farewell to the others with a look that said, "It was good to be here."

After a notice had been posted an-nouncing there would be no Pep Chapel last Thursday, some Bulldog enthusiasts decided they couldn't let the team make their trip to Emporia

to battle with the Presbys without a send off, so Rilla Hubbard led a small group in yells.

Speeches were called for from Tony Voshell, Andy Collett, Keith Reinecker, and Coach "Buck" Astle. Coach asked how students expected to have a good football team without all of the student body backing them.

The opening address of the confer-ence by Dr. Rufus D. Bowman was in itself, in the estimation of nearly all the 235 registered delegates, worth the entire effort to attent. However he spoke again and just as inspiringly before the conference was over. Dan West, who will be here in McPherson this winter, challenged

every person present with his talk on peace. He concluded with this ringing statement, "I'd rather fall

A few mediocre sports fans thought the Bulldogs (and they are real Bull dogs, not Pekingese) were doomed to a winless season. After Bethany's Swedes whipped McPherson, these "cheer while the going is good" spectators drooped in spirits. But the football boys still had plenty of fight and proved to themselves, and skeptics that McPherson can produce a victory by playing hard, straight football.

bers of this circuit. In football, basketball, and track. If none of the present clubs can turn the trick, perhaps Bethel or Sterling should be imported to do the job.

William Jewell (remember the quick shift) trounced the hapless Baker Wildcats with their dipsy-doodle, razzle-dazzle stuff to spoil the homecoming of the Orangemen. Don't be surprised if the Bulldogs finish the race ahead of the Methodist schools, Baker and Lyon know

Backs include Albright, 145; Sylvan Hoover, 150; S. O. Hoover, 145; Millar, 135; Fulkerson, 160; and Peterson, 155. Preston Rhoades will punt for the squad.

Sophomores are getting organized this week for the big fracas.

Gene Kemper, E. A. Thomas, and Jack McClain in will be the officials this afternoon.

Feature of homecoming activi-ties today will be the non-conference gridiron clash between Coach "Buck" Astle's revived Bulldogs and the purple Moundbuilders from South-western on the college field at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon.

After turning in their first victory of the season over College of Emporia last week, the Canine gridsters are expected furnish more opposition than the visitors are ex-pecting.

Although the Builders have a benvy line which averages nearly 187 pounds, the inspired, fighting Bulldogs probably will be able to unleash more speed and power than the Methodists can handle. How-ever, spectators expect to see a close battle.

Thus far in the season. C. of E. also was the only team to succumb to the attack of Don Cooper's men. The Builders have dropped contests by wide margins to Wichita, Oklahoma Baptists, Emporia State, Pitts-burg and Sterling.

Besides the centers, Musick and Buchanan, the only standouts on the opposing squad are Eddie Hin-shaw, diminutive quarterback, and Rudy Martin, crashing fullback. Hinshaw is a capable field general while Martin is a sturdy line-backer and occasionally breaks through the line on plunges.

On the basis of the C. of E. bat-tles, Southwestern holds a slight advantage with a 14-0 triumph while McPherson defeated the Presbys 7-0 last week. The Builders also have a small weight advantage, for both teams contain plenty of beef.

Today's game will be a "home-coming" for the football team, which has returned to the home gridiron to finish the season against two Methodist opponents. Incidentally, the Bulldogs brought home the bacon in the form of the first win of the season.

A fighting Sterling eleven com-pletely outclassed the Southwestern Moundbuilders, who will match the Bulldogs this afternoon, in a neutral battle at Hutchinson's new Junior college stadium. As a football team, the Winfield boys were not up to par, but their band put on an impressive demonstration between-the-hal-ves.

Apparently the band and students of Southwestern are not sufficiently interested in the gridsters to follow them away-from-home. The band is not making the trip today, because of a previous engagement at Anthony. Anyway, McPherson's flashy new uniforms probably would overshadow the visitors, if they came.

Last night Baker tangled with Kansas Wesleyan at Kenwood park, but the score was not available as the Spectator went to press.

... Three heavy tackles on the Southwestern Moundbuilders sqyad, which will meet the Bulldogs here tomorrow afternoon, are J. D. Krell, 200 Oxford, Kas.; George Morfor,.235, Newton; and William Young, 200, protection; Kas. There are seven players on Coach Don Cooper's team this year who weigh 200 pounds or more and will cause Bulldog linemen plenty of trouble. The visitors will present the beefiest aggregation yet to face the Canines this season.

Sympathies of the entire McPherson College student body go out to Keith Reinecker, who suffered a cracked vertebra in the C. of E. game. He was on the bottom of a tackling pileup when the accident occurred. Keith was showing many possibilities as a regular halfback and was regarded by teammates as a "swell fellow." Everyone hopes his recovery is as complete and swift as possible, although he will be unable to play during the remainder of the season.

Bill Rock was tickled pink to contribute one point to the defeat of his former teammates. . . Watch this column next week for our annual all-conference selection, which is usually reversed by Gene Kemper and his cronies. . . .Of course, he gathers the opinions of all the coaches. . . . With the advent of snow, freshmen and sophomores have lost most of their early enthusiasm for the approaching "grudge" game, which will be played soon. The definite date

has not yet been announced.....

The football men hope to make the contributor to the Nerts column eat his words by allowing that they can win another game. . .MIGHTY

McPherson may maul many METHODISTS!

Showing their best form of the season, the McPherson College Bulldogs broke into the win column last Friday night by chalking up a 7-0 triumph over College of Emporia, the first of this season.

McPherson outplayed the Presbys in every phase of the game and paused the century mark by a wide margin in yards gained by rushing. Passes were not needed with such effective charging, blocking and running.

After Funk charged around end for 23 yards late in the starting period, Voshell looped a pass to Wanamaker, who was downed on the opponents 27-yard line. Then Funk and Voshell alternately carried the pigskin to the 12-yard line as the quarter ended.

"Squeaky" Meyer's bat and Astle's Bulldog, "Scrappy", are credited with turning the tide of victory, if a person is superstitious. . . However, clean, hard playing was a major fac-tor in the triumph. . . Several stu-dents were able to shave Saturday morning as a result of the first win. . Even Pekingese are better than Presbyterians, but the Bulldogs are really growling to satisfy their appetite for breaking into the win column.

At the outset of the second stanza. Voshell crashed over for a touchdown from the 1-yard line. Rock converted for the extra point and McPherson controlled most of the game thereafter.

Four times the Presbys came with-en the 20-yard line, but the staunch Canine forward wall held back further thrusts, although C. of E. once marched to the 9-yard line. The entire McPherson line and back-field were playing "heads-up" ball as they turned in the initial victory of the current season.

Myers, Funk, Voshell, Cramer, McGill, Wanamaker, Richardson, Owen, Kraus, York, Meyer and a host of substitutes showed excellent form last Friday night. . . With the lights out, the Presbys' band attempted a torchlight stunt which failed. . . Ted McDaniel, capable Gazette sports writer, was a candidate for curator on both the Republican and Democratic tickets . . . "Pat" Maloney and "Duke" Holmes stopped off at their homes in Hering-ton and Galva for the week-end . . Phil Myers read an article entitled "Slow Emotion," but he had plenty of steam in blocking and line back-ing. . . C. of E. bowed for the first time this lesson to a conference op-ponent.

Great plans are being made by the Outing club for Nov. 19. They are planning to go to Newton to the roller skating rink and enjoy an evening's skating. A committee composed of Alice Lindgren, Chair-man, Audrey Hammann and Maurice Anderson is making the transportation arrangements. Miss Warner will accompany the girls.

The McPherson College W. A. A. has received an invitation from the Southwestern W. A. A. to send a volleyball team to an intercollegiate Volleyball Play Day to be held De-cember 10, at Winfield. Definite ar-

rangements will be announced later.

No upset was mighty Ottawa's 13-6 lacing of Ireland, Giannangela, and Co. as Fitzpatrick again proved he is one of the best backs in the conference. Perhaps the Irish didn't call the right substitutions in that particular contest.
