action culminated two year of dis-pate controversy among various factions on the campus. According to the new system a five-member committee will administrate the rules decided on by the council, be-sides acting as court of appeal in cases of misunderstanding. The fact that the five-man commission will in-clude as members the president of the Student Council, the president of the M club, a faculty member, and others chosen by the Student council, should serve to reconcile warring factions. Because the com-ission should conceivably represent all interested factions, it is felt in school political circles that the new policy should meet with student support.

Professor Winkler, librarian, announced recently that the McPherson College Library has purchased twenty new books on philosophy, ethics, and religion. “These books,” he con-tinued, “are of particular interest and value in times like these.”

Campus congratulations are in or-der for Wayne Geisert, who won first place in the extemporaneous speak-ing contest at Hutchinson last week.

Other Macampus debaters and speak-ers made good records, but Geisert’s first place win earns for him special recognition.

Decision by the Booster Banquet committee to feature on the program a speaker from the FBI should tighten local interest in the banquet. At this particular time speaker talent of this type will doubtless draw many people who are interested in national and international conditions.

According to present plans the A-Cappella Choir will take a two weeks’ tour beginning April 12. It was thought at first that defense priori-ties might cause the tour to he cancelled, but subsequent events permitted furtherance of plans.

Yesterday we celebrated the birth-day anniversary of a great American -Abraham Lincoln. We recalled another time his tolerance, his magnanimity, his breadth of understand-ing. We remembered his generosity, his kindliness, his modesty. We thought once more of the terrific mental powers, coupled with spiri-tual grace, which made Lincoln one of our immortal Americans.

Dr. Walter A. Naumann, professor of modern languages at McPherson College, has written an article in German to be published in the near future in the “Modern Language Journal.”

The article is a criticism of French literature of the 19th century. Dr. Naumann criticizes the works of Leon-Paul Fargne, a contemporary French poet of the 19th century. Fargne’s works are typical of that period; he is especially noted for his “prose poem” type of literature.

The “Modern Language Journal,” in which the article is to appear, may be found in the college library.

Dr. Naumann has written a great deal of literary criticism.

Dr. J. Willard Hershey, head of the chemistry department, attended the eighteenth annual meeting of the Kansas Association of Physical Science Teachers in Topeka, Saturday February 7.

Of special interest on the program were “Scientific Advances”, a group of moving pictures by Steve Smith Topeka, and two addresses “Whatthe High School Science Teacher Should Teach in These Times” by Captain C. S. Hampton, Fort Riley, and "The Defense Program and Science Teacher” by J. C. Woodin, Wichita.

Capt. Hampton in his talk stressed the importance of students remain-ing in school as long as possible. The more education they have, the better soldiers they make, he said.

Dr. Hershey said that J. C. Wood-in, one of the speakers, may be se-cured for a chapel program in Mc-Pherson College sometime this se-mester.

Tune In

Student enrollment, contrary to the statement in the Spectator on January 30, has no large drop. Figures given at that time were incomplete, and final enrollments have a total of 337 students this semester as compared to 337 of last semester. These figures are not comparable, however, in that twenty-six of these are extension students. This brings the figures to 337 students of last semester, as compared to 311 students for this semester, a drop of slightly over seven percent.

On February 15, the BYPD will be conducted in much the same style as a Quaker meeting. In the atmosphere of quiet and candle lights, any person may contribute to the evening’s meeting. Thought-provoking quotations, gems of thought, inspirational poems or scripture verses are all in order. Spontaneous hymn singing by the group without accompaniment is another Quaker feature. Each one contributes as he chooses.

Last Sunday the BYPD had an open forum discussion on the topic "Has the Church Passed its Zenith in Power and Service?” Dr. Metzler led the discussion after Joe Dell presented the devotional thought. The conclusions reached in the time alot-ted, seemed to favor the idea that the church in various places is being persecuted, but in spite of handicaps and lags, the church is still advan-cing, and needs the united efforts of all Christendom to apply Christ-like methods to all phases of life.

The G. R. and Hi-Y Commission of the S. C. M. in presenting the program Thursday evening brought George “Dixie” Bryan as the speaker. Mr. Bryan is the director of the local Y. M. C. A. organization, and the subject of his discussion was in relation to the G. R. and Hi-Y organizations in the high schools. He thinks that too often in the world of today we merely possess “mud pie” philosophies and do not face reality with the straight-forward aspect that we should use. We “play like” we are grown up, but when we face trials our philosophy is not strong enough to weather the storms of life. We must put our Christian ideals into practice if we are to have a definite stand, and if we are to meet the problems of life success- fully.

Valentine—A sweetheart chosen on St. Valentine’s Day! also, a letter or missive of a sentimental character sent, usually anonymously, on St. Valentine's Day.—Webster’s New International Dictionary.

Valentine’s Day has come to denote in American life a withdrawal from stern reality, a one day flight into sentimental fantasy. Schools and clubs all over the country enter into the spirit of the day with enthusiasm and fervor. Names are drawn and favors sent, all adding to the general atmosphere of animated celebration.

McPherson College campus is to be the scene of the annual regional conference of the Church of the Brethren from Sunday, Feb. 2 2 to Friday noon, Feb. 27. W. H. Yoder is the general chairman and W. Earl Breon is the conference director.

Outstanding Brethren leaders Dr. D. W. Kurtz, college pastor of La-Verne and well-known speaker in religious circles over various parts of the world, Charles M. Sheldon, well-known author of the book, “In His Steps”, Dr. Frank H. Crumpack-er, missionary to China from 1908 until just recently, and Rev. Raymond R. Peters, National Director of Young People’s Work for the Brethren church.

Dedication of the new dormitory for men will be featured during regional conference week, occurring at 2:30 p. m. on Tuesday, February 24. Dr. D. W. Kurtz will give the dedication address.

Conference will be opened beginning Sunday morning with Sunday school service, with the morning sermon being given by Dr. Kurtz. The conference will close with chapel starting at 9:30, ending at noon Friday.

In the first of a series of Monday chapel periods devoted to health programs, Dr. Trueheart, a cancer Specialist of Sterling, Kansas, presented information about cancer by means of a short talk and a moving picture.

The Kansas mortality rate caused by cancer had been gradually climbing until just two years ago. Since that time there has been a decline in deaths until at present most people with cancer can be cured if the disease is caught in its early stages, according to Dr. Trueheart. It may be cured by surgery or radiation.

The movie, “Choose to Live,” embodied the idea that one need not fear cancer if he takes regular physical examinations and visits his doc-tor as soon as he notices anything which might possibly be a symptom of the disease.

Trueheart listed six symptoms of

cancer:

(1) any sore that does not heal in a reasonable length of time,

(2) any thick lump in any part of the body,

(3) persistent indigestion, partic-ularly aversion for meat,

(4) any sudden change in the size of a wart or mole,

(5) any unnatural discharge from any part of the body, and

(6) continued hoarseness.

Among older folk. Valentine’s Dav is observed less overtly than in younger circles, hut certainly with no less enthusiasm. Valentine boxes of candy special Valentine’s Day bouquets and corsages, little remembrances of various kinds, all are sent on Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s Day has behind it centuries of tradition. During the feast of Lupercaia, celebrated in honor of Juno, it was customary for Roman youths to draw tablets from an urn. On each tablet was inscribed the name of a maiden to whom he was supposed to devote himself for a year. This system was continued

Entertainment and decorations for the social will carry out the Valentine motif in keeping with the season.

Class sponsors will be honored at the two parties. The special guests at tonight’s upper class event will be Dr. and Mrs. Mohler, Dr. and Mrs. Bittinger, and Miss Shockley who is chairman of the social committee. Dr. and Mrs. Wayland, Dr. and Mrs.

Blough, Orr To Present Joint Vocal Recital

Lucy Blough, Contralto, and Ronald Orr, Baritone, both students of Professor Fisher, will present a joint recital in the Chapel-auditorium next Thursday evening, February 19.

Miss Blough is a Sophomore whose home is at South Waterloo, Iowa. She had a year and a half of voice study before coming to McPherson College. She is serving her second year in both the A Capella Choir and the Women’s Quartette. She has appeared frequently as a soloist at the College and has sung solos in most of the churches and clubs of the city. Featured on her part of the program will be the standard contralto song, “The Cry of Rachel”, “The House by the Side of the Road” by McDonald, and the modern song, “The Second Minute”, by Maurice Besly.

Orr is a college Senior; he is a native of Beatrice, Nebraska. He has had three and a half years of voice study at McPherson College and one year at the University of Nebraska. He has sung for three years in the A Capella Choir and is singing for his second year in the College Male Quartette. Orr appeared here in a joint recital with Miss Millicent Nordling in 1940 and with Miss Virginia Kerlin in 1941. Featured on his part of the program will be the famout aria.” It Is Enough,” from Mendelssohn's oratorio. “Elijah”. Two songs from Schubert, the popular Yeoman’s Wedding Song” by Prince Poniatowski, and the humorous selection, “The Little Irish Girl".

Miss Blough and Mr. Orr will end their joint recital with the celebrated duet by Alice M. Smith. “O That We Two Were Maying”. They will be accompanied by their teacher.

until finally it became customary for youths to choose their sweethearts for the next twelve months on Valentine’s Day.

Shakespeare and Chaucer spoke of Valentine's Day as the day on which birds chose their mates.

History records several men who were called St. Valentine. One authority lists fifty-two. A pretty story is told of one who was a charitable man, helping the sick and needy during his lifetime. When bedridden with old age he continued to send messages to those he could no longer see.

Boitnott, and Miss Shockley will be honored at the underclass party of Saturday evening.

As is the custom the president of each class will be in the receiving line to greet the formally attired guests. Ralph Nicholson and Ronald Orr are the upper class presidents and Dave Albright and Wayne Geis-ert are presidents of the freshmen and sophomore classes, respectively.

Refreshments for the dessert party are being planned and prepared by a committee which is headed by Arlene Flory and Lenora Shoemaker.

These spring formals for the respective classes are an annual highlight on Macollege’s social calendar. In general charge of Miss Shockley, the social committee is composed of Mildred Fries, Twila Peck, Kurtz Eb-bert, and Roy McAuley.

Annual Booster Banquet March 13

The annual Booster Banquet at McPherson college will be held on Friday. March 13, Dr. W. W. Peters announced today, and at the same time named the committees which will handle the numerous details of the affair.

The speaker will be Inspector Pennington, from the office of J. Edgar Hoover in the federal bureau of investigation from Washington, D. C. The inspector is an outstanding speaker and a colorful figure in the FBI. The inspector is being sent here by Mr. Hoover.

The general committee which is in charge of providing the speaker, preparing the program and tickets, included the following: Dr. W. W. Peters, Dr. J. W. Boitnott, Prof. J H. Fries, Prof. M. A. Hess and Dr. R. E. Mohler.

The advisory committee to the administrative committee is made up of Dr. J. J. Yoder. W. J. Krehbiel, H. J. Ferguson and Rev. W. E. Breon.

The publicity committee will be made up of Dr. R. E. Mohler and Le-land Lindell, and the hall, decorations and table committee will beProf. M. A. Hess, Prof. J. L. Bowman, Prof. S. M. Dell., Miss Clara Colline and Dr. O. A. Olson.

The dinner and menu committee includes Mrs. R. E. Mohler and Prof. J. H. Fries, chairman, Clayton Rock, Rev. W. E. Breon, Dr. J. J. Yoder, Dr. W. W. Peters. Harold Beam and Miss Virginia Kerlin.

Dr. J. W. Boitnott lead the devotional period of Wednesday’s chapel, the theme for which was “Where is your faith?”

It was suggested that all Macolle-gians place their faith in some ideal in which they firmly believe and make their sacrifices for this ideal. Such sacrifices may prove one’s faith in God, country, or cause, for sacrifice takes many forms.

“I am not advocating that we sacrifice our lives and talents uselessly, but that we find a cause or an ideal, in which we can have faith and sacrifice will take care of itself,” stated Dr. Boitnott in his address.

His address was concluded with this thought: “Your problem is to find value. The one who doesn't find value can’t have faith and will have little value or influence in the world.”

The Job Boom: Good and Bad

University-trained men and women are encountering “the greatest demand for their services in our generation,” Robert F. Moore, secretary of appointments at Columbia university, declares in his annual report. The emergency that made necessary the national youth administration as a relief measure for students has passed. Mr. Moore adds.

“It is my opinion that the allotment of NYA funds for college students may well be withdrawn and used to much better advantage for purposes of national defense,” he says. “There are ampls opportunities through private sources for a student to work his way.”

During the last year the salary at which students began to work averaged 10 per cent above the starting salaries of the previous year, according to Mr. Moore. “Furthermore, it was not unusual for seniors, after they had accepted a job at one salary, to receive word that they had been given a raise, even before reporting for work.

“From a period of historic unemployment, the situation changed overnight to a seller’s market where there were more jobs than men.

“In the face of this active employment market, college women came into their own, for employers suddenly remembered that there are many positions that women can handle as well as men.

“Under other circumstances the harvest of opportunities would be an occasion for rejoicing, ,and indeed we are proud of the record; but we cannot overlook the fact that many positions that college graduates took this year are as unsound as quicksand, based, as so many of them are, on the artificial economy of a war boom. Our graduates were warned of this situation and cautioned to take full advantage of their opportunities to build into themselves the kind of experience that will be useful in the period of post-war reconstruction.

“Volumes could be written of the lessons learned from the late unlamented depression, yet it is said that ‘wisdom after the fact, is no wisdom at all.’ The predicament we now find ourselves in as a nation is a lesson we should never forget, for we have learned it the hard way. That is the lesson that self-preservation of a state and the individual must be accomplished by self-preservation through continuous, unrelenting training for the work of the world in all of its ramifications.

“During the depression training programs in industry, with but few notable exceptions, came to a standstill. Colleges continued training in the liberal arts but in most instances neglected the most importat art of ‘earning a living.’

“Based upon my experience of the last half dozen years, I am convinced that the ideal preparation for life is education on a broad cultural base, tempered with practical specialized or professional training and sharpened by actual experience under fire.

“Educational institutions and industry have a great opportunity, in fact, a mutual responsibility, to co-operate in preparing youth for the world’s work and, of course we all know of many examples where co-operation between the two has existed effectively for many years. My plea is for an enlargement of this idea toward the end that business, industrial and government institutions will make it possible for every college man and woman to serve an internship or apprenticeship in his chosen field as a prerequisite to a position.” (Associated Collegiate Press).

WHEREAS, under the powers granted it in the Constitution of the Student Body of McPherson College, Article III. Section III, Clauses (a), (c), (g), and (h), it is the duty of the Student Council to act as a board of arbitration in disputes between classes and or student organizations, to act as a coordinating agency for all extra-curricular activities, to ascertain and make articulate student opinion, and cooperate with the classes and or student organizations in order to promote the general welfare of the student community and the best interests of McPherson College and

WHEREAS, there has been considerable friction concerning freshman initiation and no definite control over such activities,

The Initiation Committee recommends to the Student Council the following policy:

A committee consisting of the president of the Student Council, the president of the “M” Club, a faculty member appointed by the adminis-tration, and two students appointed by the Student Council, shall supervise all Freshman initiation. This committee shall have charge of all initiation activities, delegating authority where deemed advisable. This committee shall act as counsel in all cases in which a freshman fails to live up to recognized traditions.

Freshman Initiation activities which shall be sponsored by this committee are:

a. The flying of the United States Flag in the proper manner.

b. The preparing of the athletic field before college football games, and the removal of the canvas after the games.

c. The wearing of the green cap by Freshman men and women from the opening of school until Thanksgiving.

d. Beltlines:

(1) There shall be no general beltline for Freshmen held previous to the first Friday night of the school year, and no others except following the noon meal previous to home football games.

(2) Beltlines shall be started only by a member of the Initiation Committee.

(3) Anyone using a buckle or belt with a steel tip in a belt-line shall also be sent through the beltline.

e. An Initiation day shall be planned by the Committee to be closed by a party given by the

The President’s Corner

George Washington said, “Promote then as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of

knowledge.”

Through the Ordinance of 1787 our foreparents made provisions for schools and means of education because they be-lieved religion, morality, and knowledge . . . necessary to gain government and the happiness of mankind.

Thomas Jefferson said, “The commonwealth requires the education of her people as the safeguard of order and liberty. No nation can be free and ignorant at the same time.”

Horace Mann said, “I believe in the improvability of the human race by means of education.”

Abraham Lincoln said, “I view education as the most im-portant subject which we as a people are engaged in ..."

Woodrow Wilson said, “Without popular education, moreover, no government which rests upon popular action can endure.”

Bernard Shaw has said, “Civilization is a race between education and chaos.”

J. Edgar Hoover has said, “A definite moral basis must exist in the mind and heart of every individual entitled to con-sider himself as truly educated or cultured.”

A government of the people, by the people, and for the people is dependent upon the enlightend conscience and moral integrity of its citizens.

A college exists to make folks intelligent, not clever.

Should Colleges Require Courses?

Certain college courses are required before a student can graduate from McPherson College. This is different from other colleges only in that the courses required vary slightly. The fact that colleges all over the United States are doing it does not necessarily justify its being done. Oftentimes students are heard to give criticism of the school or its curriculum because they are being required to take some course that they do not like, or have decided not to like. They maintain that with the course’s being required, a student goes into the classroom only with the idea of getting through so he can get out.

The argument is given that the average college student, after being required to take certain subjects out of his field entirely has gained nothing. He has taken the required subjects, received a passing grade, and promptly began to forget what little he did learn in class. Such required subjects are possibly the cause of a large majority of failing grades received by college students, especially the upper-classmen.

In dealing with such a problem as to the desirability of certain subjects being required, the curriculum committee deals with what is supposedly the average college student. Probably in a few specific cases, the course would not have been necessary, but dealing with a class of students as a whole, these required courses are needed, whether the individual stu-dnt realized it or not.

I had a high school teacher once who told me, "I went through high school, college, and graduate school, and all dur-

Peters Formally Inaugurated February 21

The formal inauguration of Dr. W. W. Peters as president of McPherson college will be held Saturday morning. February 21, at the First Church of the Brethren, it was announced today by the committee in charge.

The guest speaker will be Dr. Gould Wickey, Washington, D. C., general secretary of the National Conference of Church-Related Colleges. His address will be followed by the inaugural address by President Peters.

Dr. Peters will be inducted into office by Dr. D. W. Kurtz, representative of the education board of the Church of the Brethren. Dr. Kurtz for 13 years was president of McPherson college and is well known in McPherson.

Immediately following the inauguration the inaugural dinner will be served in the parlors of the church, starting at 12:30 o’clock. The inauguration program will begin at 10:30 o’clock.

In the afternoon from 3 to 5 o’clock a reception will be given in honor of President and Mrs. Peters at the Student Union room in the Administration building.

Dr. Peters has succeeded Dr. V. F. Schwalm as president of McPherson college and took over the duties last summer. Dr. Schwalm, who served as president from 1927 to 1941, is now president of Manchester college, North Manchester, Ind. Dr. Peters came to McPherson from the Man-

This afternoon in the student Union Room at 4:30 all girls who have been participating this week in the Heart Sister event are invited to a Valentine party.

Entertainment has been planned by members of the Women’s Council. During the course of the afternoon names of each heart sister will be revealed and refreshments will be served.

Macollege teams entered in the debate tourney each won three out of their five scheduled matches in the division which debated the world federation question.

In the labor division of the Juco tournament Harry Reeves and Edsel Johnson McPherson debaters, were the high-ranking team, winning four out of five debates.

McPherson College will be represented at the invitational tourney at Nebraska University, Lincoln, Feb-uary 27-28. The final tournament for the local varsity squad will be the annual state meet which is scheduled this year for March 7 at Friends University, Wichita.

There once was a hearty named Ballantyne,

Who signed his name to a valentine,

He sent it by mail

To his love small and frail,

And now he-hang it all! I can’t

think of a word that rhymes with valentine. Valentine sentiments fly thick and fast these days. “Be mine” is carved on every other billboard and written on every other washroom wall.

At precisely 7:40 a. m. Wednesday morning, a drama was beautifully portrayed near McPherson College. The cast was made up of home talent, and included such characters as Della and the cop. The title of this thespian masterpiece was natur-ally, “Jiggers, Della, the Cop,” or “One should always stop, look, and listen before attempting to drive on the straight and narrow.”

If anyone happens to ask you, An- tioch was a ba-a-ad city. Horrors! Pauline Life and Literature students can furnish particulars. It is also rumored that ba-a-ad people lived there. Disgusting, isn’t it?

Roy McAuley was seen the other night eating brick chili—raw! Between mouthfuls he invited various lookers-on to partake of this belly warming feast. Strangely enough, they demurred for one reason or another, explaining that food at bedtime kept them awake. “I only regret that I have but one throat to give for my stomach,” said one.

Nathan Jones, freshman debater, was “told on” at Hutchinson the other night. During the intermission in the preliminary rounds of the contest, when the debaters were out for supper, satisfying the inner man, so to speak, Jones’ past was dis-closed. Into the restaurant where the McPherson delegation was seated swept a lady and her party. “Hello, Nathan,” she cooed. “My, how you’ve changed. You used to be such a chubby little rascal.” Since then, much to Jones’ chargin, he is re-ferred to as "Chub” by the debaters.

Lena Belle Olwin is a good sport. She likes to be kidded about practically everything.—including influenza, spring fever, etc. everything, in fact except her date with Tony Myers. Aye, there’s the rub.

Don’t you, Gertie? However, Ronk is not entirely indifferent, we are told; in fact, it seems that Herbie has bestowed upon Gertie his cherished FFA pin. If you think FFA stands for Future Farmers of America, it does.

Raymond R. Peters, national director of young people’s work for the Church of the Brethren, has asked the McPherson College Rec-reational Council to make out and submit to the church head office at Elgin, Illinois, six programs for church parties Professor S. M. Dell announced this week.

it was about five years ago that the Recreational Council was organized with the purpose in mind to find the good things in party recreation and relate them to the church program. The council studied the theory. purpose, need, and types of recreation, and as a result a program was built up for parties to include games, stunts, refreshments, and devotions.

Emporia. Feb. 12—Junior French led the way for a 43 to 34 overtime Kansas Conference victory for the McPherson college Bulldogs last night over the College of Emporia Presbies in as thrilling a game as the local rans have seen this season. French scored 22 points.

The first half was rather onesided in favor of Emporia but early in the last half Coach Tom Hayden's team from McPherson started to cut down the Presbies lead. At one time in the first half Emporia held a 14 to 4 lead and Emporia was ahead 21 to 16 at the end of the first half.

Soon after the second half started the margin started to narrow. Em-poria was ahead 26 to 24 and then a few minutes later McPherson tied the score at 28-all. From then on to the end of the regular game the score was tied most of the time. The score was tied at 30-all, 32-all and the game ended 34-all.

In the overtime the Bulldogs were never threatened. French led the assault as he garnered nine points In the five minute overtime. The Bulldogs held the Presbys scoreless in the overtime.

French's 22 points made him high scorer of the game and brought to 43 points his scoring in two nights of Kansas Conference play. Against Ottawa the night before French accounted for 21 points.

The Boys’ Dormitory has contributed a basketball team to the City League. They assume the name of Fahnestock Hall team.

So far they have enjoyed a rather successful season losing three games and winning two.

The games are played at the Con- vention Hall court and the league is sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. There are eight teams to make up the league. The Fahnstock Hall boys are also entered in the City League tournament to be held soon at the Convention Hall Court.

Members of the team include: Lawrence Lowber; Al "Capt.” Miller; Glen Swinger; Esthel Ikenberry. Jim Burger, Bernard Tinkler, Sammy High, Wilbur Linville.

The members of the team enjoy this good form of recreation and ap-preciate what the Y. M. C. A. has done to promote this wholesome sport.

Two new recruits playing their first game with the Braves gave Ottawa university a 49 to 39 Kansas Conference victory over the McPherson college Bulldogs.

The recruits were Frank, who made 15 points, and Wylie, 11 points, and they were two of the hottest cag-ers the Bulldogs have faced all season. Wylie last year was all-state high school forward and the leading scorer in Kansas. The two men have greatly enhanced the strength of the Braves.

Junior French, however, was on the go all evening but he alone could not offset the heavy scoring of the Braves. French scored seven field goals and seven charity shots for a total of 21 points. This equals the scoring French did earlier in the season against Wesleyan.

The first half was rather close with Ottawa holding only a 24 to 20 advantage at half time.
