Enthusiastically received by the playgoing populace of Macampus and the city of McPherson when it was played the first time on March 17, “A Family Portrait,” Coffee and Cowen’s biblical dramtic hit of 1940 will be re-presented Easter Sunday night at 7:30 under the sponsorship of the McPherson Ministerial Alliances

The cast has been rehearsing steadily since the initial performance on March 17, and some improvement has been made in scenic and stage effect has been made, it was announced Wednesday by Paul Dannel-ley, director of the play.

The second performance of the play is being given in response to many requests from local people who were unable to see the first presentation, and a large crowd is expected. Through the cooperation of the Min-istrial Alliance, most of the churches in town are not having services and the local ministers are conducting an extensive campaign, urging their congregations to attend “A Family Portrait.”

Because of the length of the play, curtains will open promptly at 7:30. No admission will be charged, but a free will offering will be taken between the first and second acts to cover cost of production. Between the second and third acts there will be a brief intermission.

Alumni Present Chapel Program

Alumni of Macollege presented the program in chapel Friday morning.

The first numbers on the program were two cornet solos, “Calm as the Night” and “Somewhere a Voice is Calling” played by Mrs. E. G. Nigh, a former Macollegian. She was accompanied at the piano by Gertrude Conner, an M. C. student.

Miss Donna Jean Johnson of the class of ’41 interpreted a short play, “The Beau of Bath.” She portrayed the roles of the three characters very effectively.

Harold Beam concluded the program with two tenor solos, “The Blind Plowman” and “Requiem.”

Music festival sponsored by the music department of McPherson College will be held Saturday April 11. This festival is held in connection with the High school senior festival

The music department of the college will present Miss Luella Poister in a piano recital Monday evening, April 6 at 8 o’clock in the college chapel. Miss Poister will be assisted by Miss Twila Peck, contralto, with Prof. Nevin W. Fisher and Miss Jessie Brown as accompanists. The program will consist of compositions by Beethoven, Handel and Chopin, Liszt and modern composers, and will include the third movement of the piano concerto in G Minor by Mendelssohn. Miss Poister is a member of the Junior class and is a piano student of Miss Brown. Miss Peck is classified as a senior and studies voice with Prof. Fisher.

The public is cordially invited to attend this recital.

Male Music Students Give Chapel Program

Miss Jessie Brown had charge of the musical program which was presented entirely by the masculine students of the music department in chapel Friday morning.

Scripture was read by Raymond Slifer.

The first performers were Dave Albright and Herbert Ronk who played a two-piano number, “Liebesfreud.” Leland High played a trumpet solo, “Polka” by Casey, and was accompanied by Dave Albright.

Kenneth Wampler presented the vocal part of the program when he sang two solos, “Prayer Perfect” and “Purple Shadows.”

Franklin Hiebert, a former student of Macollege played a Hungarian number on his violin accompanied at the piano by Prof. Fisher.

The concluding selection was Shu-bert’s “March Militaire” arranged for eight hands and played by Rich-aid Mohler, Dave Albright, Herbert Ronk, and Kenneth Thompson.

The Ethnic Minorities Commission is a new commission on Macollege Campus, having been introduced this semester. It is one of the Commissions set up for the Region by the Regional Student Christian Movement.

The group has been studying and discussing the conditions, discriminations, and possibiities of the Negroes of our Southand.

In the coming weeks of the school term, the plans are that the Jewish group will be the theme for several meetings, the Japanese on the West coast since the United States entered the war, and the migratory workers’ problems.

Programs consist of book reviews, representative literature of the group talks by competent leaders, and group discussions.

The Commission is co-chaired by Wayne Parris and Eunice Swank. The meetings are held at 9:40 on Tuesdays.

Dr. Jones, brought to McPherson through the cooperative efforts of the Student Christian Movement of McPherson College and the Ministerial Alliance of McPherson, held the undivided attention of his audience by his deeply inspiring testimony of his faith in God.

Speaking without notes, Dr. Jones introduced his theme by stating “Tonight is Holy Thursday, the night of the terrible question. We say that Christ is the answer to this question, and we meant it. But many wonder what is going to emerge and many wonder if Christianity is sufficient. or is just a defense mechanism.”

Christianity makes its decisions not in the light of the problem, but in the light of the person; this is effective as long as we are centered

Wednesday morning at 8:00 found McPherson College seniors convened in the chemistry lecture room for comprehensive examinations over their major subjects. Dr. J. W. Boitnott, dean of McPherson College, presided during the four-hour ordeal while the seniors attempted to transfer to paper the vast quantity of information which they have accumulated during their four year stay at the college.

No glamour there. Only frowns of intense concentration and preoccupation covered the pans of the otherwise cheerful seniors. Although a brief recess for soft drinks and relaxation was allowed at 10:00 the morning in general was characterized by a sternly observed silence, broken only by the soft whirring of pencils and pens being brushed over paper, punctuated now and then by the stacatto pecking of the pencil of some English major going back to

cross his t’s and dot his i’s.

During the entire four hour examination period, except for a brief interval in which Mary Spessard presided, Dr. Boitnott remained at the desk in the front of the room, leaving his chair only to answer ques-tions and distribute paper.

However, the atmosphere of the room was far from gloomy. Rather could it be described a studious. An aura of self-imposed quiet surrounded each busily writing senior. A spirit of condemned kinship united the normally undemonstrative seni-ors into a body of like-minded souls. After the examination was concluded, there was no loitering in the examination room. As if at a prearranged signal, the seniors, except for one or two brave souls who finished early, rose and quitted the room, apparently having but one motive—to forget and relax.

Miss Anne Witmore, a “talented but timid freshman,” (quoting Pro-fessor Hess), won the state anti-to-bacco oratorical contest held at Cen- tral College, Friday, March 27.

Miss Witmore’s subject was “For the Public Good.” Kenneth Shelly of Miltonvale was awarded second prize on his oration. '’Birds of a Feather." Third prize was taken by Roscoe Knight of Friends University. Other schools participating in the event were Central College and St. John’s College of Winfield.

Dr. J. W. Fields, a local dentist, provides the prize money for these annual contests. The prizes were $35, first place; $25, second place; and $15, third place.

In a special message to the students of McPherson College, Dr. K. Stanley Jones gave the following testimony in a brief interview after his address of last evening.

“My deepest conviction is that the way to Christ is realism and not idealism; that Christ was not an idealist, but a realist, so far ahead of us that we think of Him as an idealist; that the way of Christ is stamped into us, into the total organization of our lives. The way of Christ is the way we are made to live and if we try to live some other way we break down.

“Evil is not only bad, but also foolish. When we try to live against reality, we find that it cannot be done. You cannot live against life and live.”

Last Saturday night the lads and lassies of McPherson College trod the boards of the chapel stage in true histrionic fashion in presenting their annual stunt night. Various organizations from the campus contributed to the evening of hilarity, and from these some previously undiscovered actors and actresses of rare talent emerged.

Capturing first prize was the stunt presented by the Men’s Council in which appeared Wayne Geisert, Ted Washburn, Lucille Harris, and Glenn Swinger in the roles of Prof. Hess, Prof. Wayland. Miss Lehman and Paul Dannelley respectively. Geisert as Hess really set the pace and did the impersonation to perfection (including such fine points as the unlocking of doors, swatting of files, inflection of voice and grinning). Mr. Dannelley was thoroughly browbeaten and subdued at the end of his examination by these worthies and by their decision will remain on the

campus for another year

Second berth went to the men of Fahnestock Hall. Their skit was centered about the well-known poem “The Murder of Dan McGrew”. The scene of this action was a saloon in the Yukon during the gold rush days, and the set was complete with bar, piano, typical saloon characters and a general hazy atmosphere. The story centered about the miner played by Doc Wiliams, Dangerous Dan played by Clancy Bunyan, and the gal named Lou played by Herbie Ronk. The jag time kid was Dave Albright, and the bartender Willie Linville.

Third prize was tendered to the Sophomore class who gave a parody on the well known poem “The Courtship of Miles Standish.” Klotz as Miles Standish and Finfrock as John Alden carried the male leads and incidentally a good line of wisecracks. “Floppy Locks” Flory played the part of Priscilla who evidently must have had some difficulty in pronuon-cing jawbreakers.

Several other stunts were highly worthy of praise. Arnold Hall staged a parody on the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet starring Kate McRae as Romeo and Blanche Geisert as Juliet. Women’s Council gave an impromptu radio Quiz program patterned after Kay Kyser’s Kollege of Musical Knowledge with Virginia Kerlin as the ‘ol Professor and Katy McRae as the orchestra. Third Floor of Arnold gave a gruesome gob of gore entitled “Bluebeard” which featured Blanche Geisert. Leora Dobrinski, and Isabelle Crumpacker. Also of note was the hanging head which the I. R. C. presented a pep talk to a young man about to be married. The WAA presented a radio push button program featuring various entertainers. The Student Council presented a screwy takeoff on an old fashioned “mellerdrammer.” starring McAuley, Linville, Dobrinski and others. Refreshments were sold by the social

Quartets Take Trip Through Five States

Members of the McPherson College Men’s and Women's Quartets will leave for a sixteen day tour on April 14, to visit churches and highschools in five states, it was announced by. i Professor Fisher this week. Fisher added, however, that these plans are merely tenative and may be subject to alteration if occasion demands, Students making the trip will be the women’s quartet, composed of Virginia Kerlin, Louis Stambaugh, Jean McNicol, and Lucy Blough, the men’s quartet, composed of Lyle Albright,. Dave Albright. Esthel Ikenberry, and i Ronald Orr. also accompanist Luella Poister and director Fisher will make the trip.

The two quartets plan to visit Kansas City. Northern Missouri. Iowa. Minnesota, and Nebraska. They plan to giev performances every night in the various churches and in the | daytime they will sing at several high schools along the route.

Expenses on trips of this kind are met largely by donations from churches attended. These deputations are made to show the constituency what the college is doing, and to encourage prospective students to attend their church college.

Dr. W. C. Heaston. McPherson College Doctor, spoke in chapel Monday morning on the subject of physical fitness. His speech was another in a series of programs devoted to health.

“Our efficiency today depends to a large extent upon our physical fit-ness,’’ said Dr. Heaston. He stated that the greatest need America is facing today is the need for “individual and collective manpower.”

Three fundamental principles which Dr. Heaston maintains should govern our lives are that we should be physically fit. mentally alert, and morally clean.

Dr. Heaston also enumerated a number of health habits which we need in order to meet those three requirements:

1. Regular constructive exercise.

2. Corrective measures to strengthen defective parts.

3. A regular continuous living

schedule.

4 Good diet.

5. Rest.

0. Comfortable clothing and housing.

7. Complete cooperation of and with medical men.

8. A sense of humor.

in Christ. “No man is good enough to be the center of all faith.” Dr. Jones believes that the center of our faith should he the Godman, and not the good men.

Continuing his theme that “All things belong to Christ,” he pointed out that the unifying principle for all denominations should be, “I belong to Christ.” and not I belong to John Calvin, or Martin Luther, or George Fox, or St. Francis, as the followers of these great teachers seem to do, but rather, these great leaders belong to all Christians and all Christians belong to Christ.

At this Juncture of his speech Dr. Jones pointed out that even the Ideals of Hindu Mahatma Gandhi belong to hint. He expounded Gandhi’s theory of pacifism, that love can conquer hate. He interpreted Gandhi's philosophy as meaning that his people had greater capacity to suffer than their agressors had to punish. 85,000 leading men of India went to prison to stand for Gandhi's theories, and thus, not through force, but through love, India has shaken the foundations of Britain.

Coloring his speech with bits of humor, Dr. Jones spoke of the black shirts, red shirts, green shirts, etc., of the various -isms of the world and pointed out that the -ism that Gandhi represented wore no shirt at all:

Readers Must Use Discrimination

Daily, as we pick up a newspaper, we read stories pertaining to the war, Japan, Germany, Italy, England, China or any other country involved in this war. As we read we form an opinion—either we believe the story or we don’t. Chances are, rather than disbelief, we probably have a belief in the truth of the statements therein.

Occasionally, however, we find ourselves becoming doubters. We don’t believe anything we read. About each article we conclude, if it talks of war, that it is propaganda. Yet, we can read a neighborly news story, and if it criticizes the government, for one reason or another, that too, in our minds, has a bad taste because it is talking against our government.

On one hand we are mentally criticizing our government for putting out propaganda, and on the other hand criticizing the other fellow for trying to keep the people aware of what is going on.

In our modern world with its many rapid means of communication, public sentiment changes rapidly. For this reason, the public must be kept informed and awakened to both its progress ad its mistakes.

Just because a story pertains to the government does not mean that it is propaganda. Likewise, just because a writer criticizes the government does not mean that he does not like his government. It probably means that his concern is great enough to spend time and effort on constructive criticism.

The reader, it is true, must use discrimination in his reading. He must not either accept blindly or reject blindly whatever he reads. Yet there is the danger of becoming too critical. How much easier it is to find fault than to correct it.

April 1st Has Excuse For Existence

This week men’s foolishness was reemphasized by his observance of April Fool’s day, the day when the average person becomes a practical joker and the practical joker runs rampant, making a fool of himself as well as of his victims. When and how the custom got started and who is to blame for it nobody seems to know, but the day is here after withstanding the test of time.

A love of fun is a natural characteristic that can be observed in every normal person from infancy to the grave. The teasing in grade school, the ribbing in high school, and the corny jokes of the college student (and his professors) serve as indicators of this instinctive nature. But the joker should remember that fun at another’s expense is poor fun indeed. The only truely practical joke is the one that can be at least partially enjoyed by everyone involved. Practical jokes harm no one if they are tempered by common sense.

Perhaps April Fool’s day is a blessing to mankind. In these times of stress and strain people need a vent for the mischief that collects within them. Laughter is good for the soul. A well-known clinic has the following motto: “A Laugh a Day

Keeps the Doctor Away.” That statement may seem trite but it does have a moral. On April 1, everybody is given the chance and excuse for doing the fooling things he secretly desires to do at other times; but for reasons of etiquette and propriety he (usually) refrains from so doing.

As Gandhi’s pacifism rocked the foundations of the English empire, so the Christian pacifism broke the Roman Empire. “You say it won’t work?” questioned Dr. Jones, “The most powerful figure who ever lived took this stand: he still lives on.”

Attacking national morals, he made this statement. “In this national crisis the greatest fifth columnist is the legalized liquor traffic. All drinking and taking of narcotics is failure of nerve, such practices are crutches for lame ducks.” Continuing in this vein Dr. Jones said, "The right thing morally is not only the healthy thing physically, but also economically and sociologically. I don’t think the world can run except in the Christian way. In trying to solve our problems we will try every other way, but finally we will come back to the feet of Christ.”

Citing examples of people enduring great physical handicaps, the speaker of the evening philosophized that “We do not belong to life and death, but they belong to us and we belong to Christ.” He spoke of a young girl who went out to get a kick out of life and all that she got was a kick back.

proclaimed Jones, and he proved his statement by saying that we have the will to live now because we are assurred of an unshakeable Kingdom and an unchangeable Leader. “But only as you surrender to Him will you walk the world as a conqueror. I master the earth as I master myself,” concluded Dr. Jones.

In answer to the question of how to master one’s self he gave the following ladder, built around the letter R: Review your life; Reverse

your wrongs; Return to Christ; Renounce yourself; Restore for your misdeeds; Receive from Him; Relate your experience to those about you; Replenish your spirit; and Release your soul.

Dr. E. Stanley Jones’ concluding thought was “I can do all things through Christ who strengthened me.”

Eight Students Become Acquainted With Jones

Eight different members of the local Student Christian Movement were privileged to become better acuainted with Dr. E. Stanley Jones and to converse with him on international problems.

One enthusiastic member reported this morning that Dr. Jones has “a marvelous personality, a genial laugh, and a friendly twinkle in his eye.” He was very well pleased with the response of his McPherson audience last night, and expressed his appreciation for the large audience.

Going to Wichita yesterday afternoon to bring this outstanding speaker to McPherson were Wayne Crist, Rowena Albright, Raymond Slifer, Bob Frantz, and Doris Voshell.

Accompanying Crist as he made the return trip to Wichita last night after the inspiring address were Alvin Klotz, Richard Berger, and Lu-cile Horner.

Among the opinions expressed by the missionary to these members of the S. C. M. was this: that the present world conflict would undoubtedly end in a stalemate, which, he believes, would be the best thing for the world.

Dr. Jones’ next journeys to Anderson, Indiana, to speak for a special Easter service. He then plans to go to Fremont, Neraska, and thence to Texas.

if they are jealous and suspicious of each other and do not put the interests of higher education above institutional prosperity, then they will, as they should, ultimately cease to function.” Courage to supplant apprehension is called for by Dr. Arnaud C. Marts, president of Bucknell university. He agrees that “the privately endowed college faces some very puzzling problems brought on by war conditions,” and adds that “every person, every institution, every business, is facing equally puzzling problems.” He then goes on to ask: “Why should the college be exempt from worry, from readjustments, from sharp sacrifices? It is no time for a college to feel sorry for itself. Rather it is time for it to face its problems squarely, bravely and wish unselfish zeal for maximum service to youth, to freedom and to America.— (A. C. P.)

A Just and Durable Peace

I do not share the attitude of a few who say there is no val-ue in thinking and planning a peace while engaged in war. It is true that the details of the peace cannot be determined until the war is over, but the general principles which will constitute the framework or pattern of a just and durable peace can be and ought to be seriously considered by all who in any way are concerned with ridding our posterity of the scourge of war. Some of us who were young men and women in the first World War prayed and worked that another like conflag- ration would never occur again. Now we have sons and daughters caught up in World War No. 2. Evidently we did not do a very good job. May it be that we depended too much upon verbal prayer and not enough upon work. It seems to me that basic to a just and durable peace are the following facts and principles.

2. The way to peace is to disarm the hearts of men by] teaching to our children among other things the following:

(4) Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are the inalieanable rights of all peoples everywhere.

(5) The innate tendencies of man can be directed to-ward the general welfare and the common good.

(6) Man is not innately immoral or unethical. He is po-tentially a saint much as potentially a sinner.

(7) The world does not owe me a living only a chance to earn an honorable livelihood. In earning my living I should be willing to render value received for all favors and opportunities.

(8) The morals, ethics, and theology of Jesus if under-stood and practiced will make all men brethren and the world a brotherhood. Nothing short of a common morality for the world will eliminate war.

3. The causes of wars, especially the last two, must be ap-proached objectively and understood alike by all peoples of all nations.

4. The world is capable of producing the essentials of] wholesome physical living for all of her inhabitants if her chill dren become morally and socially intelligent.

5. Changes, as they affect large numbers of people, come slowly, but history furnishes many evidences of desirable social and cultural changes.

The above material is merely suggestive and in no sense intended to be complete.

Private Colleges Healthy Influence

The prospect of continued success for private colleges in the United States, in the face of the strangling effects of an all-out war situation, has become a frequently-discussed subject in educational circles. Three recent statements by college presidents seem to summarize educational opinion with regard to the outlook for these institutions:

Asserting that private colleges have proved a healthy influence on the life of the nation, the Rev. Robert I. Gannon, president of Fordham university, says “it is significant that wherever absolute states have flourished they have depended for their support upon public, and therefore political, control of all education. Without criticizing or even suspecting any college or university in the country, we can face the fact that the elimination of privately controlled institutions or even their serious debility, would remove an obstacle from the path of a possible dictator in the United States.”

Dr. William Mather Lewis, president of Lafayette college, expresses a high degree of faith in the private endowed college. “We are constantly reminded,” he points out “that the privately endowed college is not free, that its future is problematical, that in a period of rapidly increasing government domination it may entirely disappear. This counsel of gloom I believe to be entirely without foundation, because the independent institutions train youth to meet the new industrial, social and political problems of each epoch. However, if our private colleges insist upon maintaining outmoded curricula, if they are timid and fearful in the face of crises which affect income and attendance, if they lower their standards and admit the unprepared,

Jones Is First In Local Peace Oration

The local Peace Oratorical Contest was won on Sunday evening, March 22 by Nathan Jones. The winning of this contest makes Jones eligible for participation in the State Peace Oratorical contest, which will be held in Lawrence, Kansas on the evening of April 24.

Second place in the local contest was won by James Burger; Geraldine Hedges won third place. Others participating in the contest were Blanche Geisert. Harry Reeves, and Bob Mays.

Local prizes awarded were $7.50 for first place, $5.00 for second, and $2.50 for third. In the state contest the first prize will be $15; second $10; and third $5. McPherson College has brought home a considerable amount of cash in contests of past years.

Tomorrow veteran debaters Ernest Peterson and Wayne Geisert, together with Professor Maurice A. Hess, former debate coach, will leave by bus for Minneapolis, Minnesota, where they will attend the National Convention of Pi Kappa Delta,

This delegation will represent Mc-Pherson College at the convention, and will be expected to answer any questions concerning the college. The hope is that a local chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, national fraternity of senior college forensics, may be granted by the convention.

If a chapter is granted to the college forensic society, the initiation banquet for local charter members will be held on May 2. Present indications point to a charter membership of twenty to twenty-five debaters and orators.

The McPherson delegation, according to present plan, will return to the campus one week from tomorrow.

Since this paper has been in the making for two weeks, I am going to do a little ressurecting. I trust that you don’t mind. Anyhow, no news is dead news, as far as I am concerned. Let the dead bury the dead, I always say. Any fool can plainly see that I am not dead. A dead person could not be so clever.

Nick and Connie, arsonists of the first water, returned to the scene of their crime this week. The fire at. the Manor last week, according to Bunyan the informer, was started by the two above-mentioned. But were they sorry? No, they came back! Speaking of the fire, did you know why Orvell was safe afterwards? You guessed it. She was protected by Gaylord Coughenour. another underclassmen. The unders have as much attraction for Orvell, apparently, as they for McAuley.

Margaret Davis, pretty dater of a local mustached faculty member, has stolen the heart and also the ring of Stutzman’s roommate. Nothing

like practically keeping it in the fam- ily. And Ralph “Bonny" Bontrager is also a friend of Pascal, Margaret’s brother. Nothing like prospective brothers-in-law getting along well together.

Also Jim Burger, who will be remembered for his prowess at catching rabbits with his bare hands, has taken the step from which there is very little turning back, if any. He and Bonnie, who have been rushing the Arnold hours ever since school started, decided to justify their clannish behavior. They announced to everyone who would listen Friday night that they had intentions not only honorable, but also marital.

Dutchie cut quite a figure at the Physical Education Conference at Emporia. According to Hayden, she liked a fellow because he didn’t “yit-terbug." Not to mention the fact that said fellow took Dutchie to lunch the next day, subsequently driving her over the countryside in his con-vertible coupe.

Klotz made a special request that we print this item: he wishes all to know that he goes with Voshell for sociability—at least that’s what he told Bunyan, and that's equivalent to spreading it all over heaven and points west. Furthermore, Klotz asked us to inform the student pop-

Extremely successful was the tenth anniversary concert of the McPherson College A Cappella Choir. The concert was held in the McPherson High School auditorium last Friday evening. A large and appreciative crowd greeted the singers.

Included on the program were numbers which represented the repertories of all previous years. One of the most interesting numbers was “Hospodi Pomilui". a Russian composition by S. V. Lvovsky. The crescendos and diminuendos used in this number achieved a striking effect. Another favorite of the audience was “Vanka ‘n’ Tanka", a Russian hill- billy song. The choir later repeated this number as an encore.

The girls’ quartette and the men’s quartette each appeared in a group of numbers. Virginia Kerlin and Lyle Albright, senior members of the choir, were featured in a duet, “How Sweet the Moonlight Sleeps Upon

ulace that he didn’t mean what he said the other night when he said some vile, vile words at the dorm. It seems that a few youngsters, including our esteemed dean of men, Prof. Dell, had assembled in one of the dorm rooms to cook up a few dainties in the approved masculine style, whatever that means. By and by friend Klotz comes in, discovers the plot, and bangs on the door for admittance. When he saw that the “open door" policy was not going to be observed by ye hearties in the forbidden room, Klotz informed all within hearing distance that ye above mentioned hearties were a bunch of—yes, you guessed it. Now guess who opened the door. . . it was Prof. Dell. Now, I should like to know. Do you think that Klotz should speak to friend Prof, in that unseemly manner. I thought not.

Now that the nationally known old gent with the whiskers is confiscating the pin ball machines for ammunition, various collegians are finding it difficult to know how to spend their spare time. Some of them, how-ever, being naturally of an inventive mind, have hit upon this very excellent substitute. Lucile Horner, under the tutelage of the head of the industrial arts department, is busily engaged in making some little time killers affectionately known as Solitary marble games. Since the craze started last week, it has swept such gaming organizations as the SCM, the IRC, etc. Rowena Albright, entertainment fan, is one of the most recent converts.

At the A Cappella Choir banquet the other night, toastmaster Bittin-ger unleashed a barrage of verbal badinage at the various contributors to the program. Laughter greeted each story with which the urbane master of ceremonies introduced each succeeding number on the docket. Most successful of all, however, was the one in which the good doctor told of his first a cappella choir concert, heard in the jungle. The story runs to the effect that the leader of THAT ^: choir had hair. At this point Prof. Fisher evinced interest. Being nearsighted, I had thought that all choir leaders had hair.

Kough, who, incidentally, we characterized several weeks ago as having a chest like the “Angel," Muriel has settled back into the Kough routine and Frenchie has retired with a bewildered look in his beautiful blue eyes. Now that Kough has demonstrated his ability in lines other than physical and mental, he is being deluged with requests for advice and possible methods of procedure. Men all over the campus are asking him how he did it.

While we are speaking of engage-ments, it might be interesting to include the story of an engagement which was broken last Wednesday night. The engagement was between Dick Burger and play practice, and the breaker was Burger. Burger the breaker, with his companion Geraldine Hedges, together with the aforementioned Kough-Lamle coalition, calmly sashayed picnicward so Dick could recover from the effects of his comprehensives Wednesday morning. Hoot, Mon! The best laid plans of mice and men—gang aft aglee. And a fellow needs a little entertainment.

Eight Lettermen Return To Track Squad

Now that basketball season is a month gone by and track has been under way for nearly a week, maybe we should look over the prospects for a track squad this season.

We have back this year eight let-termen. Vetter will again appear in the role of weight man and quarter miler. Al Miller will be in the thick of javlin throwing and pole vaulting, Culver is back to cut the tape in the dashes. Unruh will, with Vetter, run the quarter mile again. Sies will be crossing the bar in high jump, and Finfrock will he back on the two quarter race: Dick Burger will again bring home that two mile stretch of bacon and may perhaps initiate himself into the mile run with the absence of Holmes: and Rogers after an absence of a year is back to run with Burger, his roommate in the two-mile event and perhaps in the half mile.

There are numerous prospects of freshmen and also men who have not been out for college track previously to this year. There is good prospects in Walt Buller as a weight man. Dayton Rothrock may turn out to be a good half-miler, Mays and Ditmars are running the mile and Ronald Orr may run the half.

The pressure has not been put on as yet. We will find out what our prospective men can do on the day of inter-class meet on some future date.

Don’t be surprised to see another successful two mile relay team this year. Although three of last year’s second place two mile team have gone leaving only Finfrock, there will be nearly seven half-miles to pick from. However some of our other distance runners may be converted into a half-miler for the Ottawa Relays and others.

In all probability there will be no track meets until around the 1st of May due to a late start on the account of the weather. It has been for the past two weeks too cold or chilly to be running very much outside.

We are in dire need of competition this year due to the fact that Bethany College dropped out and Bethel will have very little track. That leaves only Kansas Wesleyan, the Ottawa Relays, and Conference Meet sometime in May.

If there is enough interest some of the hoys may be entered in the Kansas Relays at Lawrence, April 18. This occurs a day after the "M” Club Banquet. Of course the boys will have to show favorable records before having the honor of entering these Relays at Lawrence.

Coach Hayden has been working with the hoys regularly of late and he may develop a few stars good enough to win a few meets this year.

Ahhh Happiness! softball diamond is being completed and softball practice games are at last being started. The diamond, through the assistance of Coach Hayden, was set up this week. Alta Gross, head of softball announced that teams will be organized and games will oon begin.

And girls haven't you always wanted something extra special to do on Saturday mornings? W. A. A. offers just that something—archery every Saturday morning beginning at 9:00, besides the oher practices on Friday at 7:50 and Thursday at 4:00.

Of course who doesn’t like to go out in this Kansas wind and get their hair blown—or should I say let the breeze gently blow through your locks—but anyway—last Monday the Outing club went on one of their first spring hikes. Heads of this club are planning a weiner roast-hike very soon, and even though you aren’t a member you are invited.

Wouldn’t you like to be able to dive without falling flat on your fare or something—both Maurine

Blair and Miss Staehling are out for just that every Wednesday afternoon at 4:00 to assist girls as they plunge into the Y pool.

City Library Receives New Books

The second installment for books for the International Mind Alcove, including two of the best and moat recent works on Japan and the Far East, has been received by the. McPherson Public Library. The books were placed on the shelves and went into circulation this morning.

Books for the alcove are coming as a gift from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. These hooks are sent in installments about four times a year to small public libraries until the library receives 100 books.

The new group of four books are particularly timely. They include the autobiography of a Japanese woman, "My Narrow Isle," by Sunnie Mish-ima. She is a modern Japanese woman and in the book tells of her education in America and her clash with the feudal system of Japan.

Of special interest at the present time is "North of Singapore," by Car-veth Wells. It is an informal account of a trip starting in Japan, north to Manchuria and south to Singapore and was written in 1940.

The fourth of the new hooks is "The Heard of Europe.” written by Denis de Rougemont and Charlotte Muret. It gives a picture of present life in Switzerland, surrounded by warring governments, and shows the federated type of government in that country.

Intramurals will move to the fore-ground on Macampus this spring. With the abandonment of golf and tennis this spring there is a definite shifting of emphasis towards intra-murals by the college.

Under the leadership of Coach Hayden and Jean Staehling an extensive intramural program has been planned. Predominant among the intramural activities this spring will be softball for both the boys and girls. The softball season will be opened with a game between the sec-ond and third floors of Arnold Hall. According to the rules each team will be permitted to let five boys play on their team. However both the pitcher and catcher can not be boys.

Besides softball there are several other intramural activities in progress. At present a ping pong tournament is in progress. Horseshoe stakes have been set up east of the gym and the croquet set has also been set up south of the gym.

With the abandonment of golf and tennis and the curtailment of competition in track this Spring, there has been a decided shift of emphasis from intercollegiate athletics to intramur-als for the duration. Thus intramurals, which many believe have been neglected in favor of the intercollegiate sports, get their big chance for approval or disapproval this spring. Intramurals will be successful if the entire student body gets a pretty good indication the students don’t care for intramurals.

So if you are in favor of a strong intramural program for Macampus this spring here’s your chance to express your approval of it because intramurals will make its strongest bid for recognition this spring.

Tennis And Golf To Be Abandoned

Tennis and golf have been abandoned as intercollegiate sports at McPherson College this year. McPherson will have a track team this spring but by necessity its schedule will be limited. Bethany College, College of Emporia and Hutchinson Jr. College are all abandoning track and Bethel will put little emphasis on it. Baker, Kansas Wesleyan, and Ottawa will have track teams as usual. But it will be impossible for the Bulldogs to have dual meets with Baker or Ot-twa because of the distance.

It will he possible for Bulldog athletes to participate in the conference tennis tournament or conference golf meet Coach Hayden stated, if the college thinks their ability merits the chance. But McPherson will not send teams as in past years.

Coach Hayden made It clear that this measure was taken only for this spring and had no bearing on tennis and golf competition in future year.

Choirs Combine To Give Sacred Oratorio Apr. 12

Annual high school senior fes-tival will be held on this campus Sat-urday, April 11. This affair includes a sightseeing tour of the campus, a tea in the afternoon, and a banquet in the eventing. About fifty high schools within radius of approximately fifty miles have been invited to attend.

In general charge of the day is Dr. R. E. Mohler. The afternoon entertainment will include the music con-test, which is in the charge of Miss Jessie Brown. Professor Maurice Hess is to be in charge of the sightseeing tour of the campus. Also in the afternoon’s program is a tea in charge of Miss Ida Shockley, social chairman.

Toastmaster for the evening banquet is to be Dr. Bittinger, who has charge of the evening program. The meal for the evening will be planned and prepared by the domestic science department.

This is an annual event, being planned for approximately the eighteenth consecutive year.

The combined choirs of Central college and McPherson college will present the sacred oratorio, “The Holy City.” on Sunday evening, April 12, at 8 o’clock at the City Auditorium. it was announced today.

The Central college chorus and the McPherson College Oratorio Society will make up a combined chorus of 160 voices to present the sacred oratorio.

Rehearsals of “The Holy City” oratorio have started by each of the two-musical organizations. The two groups will rehearse as one group soon and begin final preparations for the production.

Prof. Clarke H. Brandt, head of the voice department at Central col-lege, will conduct the presentation of the oratorio.

A group of outstanding soloists has been assembled for the oratorio and they are now rehearsing on their particular parts. They include Mrs. Charles Hawkes, of Salina, soprano; Miss Helen Miller, of Salina and formerly music instructor in the McPherson city schools, contralto; Prof. Kevin W. Fisher, head of the voice department at McPherson college, tenor; and Chester Crill, Bethany Peniel college, Bethany, Okla., bass.

all the show I might mention that Robert Taylor, alias Johnnie Eager, won the poker game he was about to enter when the fire stopped the pic- ture.

This beautiful weather seems to have done something to Richard Mohler because he has recently acquired a new “Crush”. The current crush is on Mary K. Slifer and may we wish you luck Richard.

If you have noticed the scarcity of seniors on the loose the first part of this week, it was probably due to the fact that their written comprehensive examinations were last Wednesday and they were probably, or should have been, locked in their rooms studying. However, since Wednesday they look quite relieved and we all hope that they passed. We also hope that the examination of that mental giant, Paul (Hell-Driver) Dannelley, didn’t turn out as portrayed by Geisert and company last Saturday night. Of course, we would like to have him around, but the navy would probably object because Uncle Sam needs men like him.

I’m in favor of a law forbidding people to study on such nice spring days as we have been having and anyway since the 9 weeks tests are over, we don’t need to study until the end of the semester—at least that’s what I keep telling myself when I can’t seem to find time tostudy. In a day or so, when the grades come out, we will know how much more we should have studied and we will also know which professors hold a grudge against us—or at least we can use that as an excuse for making a D or F in some class or other.

The most astounding news of the past week is the fact that Jim Burger has been weakened so much by the lure of one of our red-headed coeds that he woke up Sunday morning and found himself securely clamped in her clutches (figuratively speaking) —or in other words he is engaged! !

I suppose I have been disillusioned about Burger but I always thought he was a man of strong will and one who wouldn’t fall for that line of the opposite sex but perhaps that red hair blinded him. Nevertheless here’s hoping that they have a long and happy married life. Let this be a lesson to you other guys—If the army doesn’t get you some gal will, so what’s the difference?

There was excitement galore a week ago Sunday night at the Manor when “Johnnie Eager” was there. After the patrons had become quite interested in the picture (and Lana Turner), the screen went blank and someone shouted “fire”. After the patrons were informed that the building was fire proof, they calmed down ad casually walked out as if nothing were burning. For the information of those who didn’t get to see

And her hidden bugles up the street. Spring—and the sweet Laughter of winds at the crossing; Laughter of birds and a fountain tossing

The next poem, with an entirely different interpretation, was written shortly before the author was killed in action during World War I.

And apple blossoms fill the air— I have a rendezvous with Death When spring brings back blue days and fair.

It may be he shall take my hand And lead me into his dark land And close my eyes and quench my breath—

I have a rendezvous with Death On some scarred slope of battled hill. When Spring comes round again this year

God knows 'twere better to be deep Pillowed in silk and scented down, When love throbs out in blissful sleep,

But I’ve a rendezvous with Death At midnight in some flaming town, When Spring trips north again this year.

Dr. J. Willard Hershey, head of the chemistry department at McPherson College, presented a paper at the state meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science held at Hays, Satur-day, March 28.

Synthetic gases, especially the rel- ative humidities of artificial atmospheres of nitrogen and oxygen excluding the rare gases, was the topic discussed by Dr. Hershey. The paper was prepared as a result of two years research and laboratory experimentation with white mice in gases.

Instructors attending the meeting from McPherson College were Miss Ida Shockley, Dr. R. E. Mohler, Prof.

LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION:!

Only this morning another group of citizenry revolted against the tyranny of Madame Shockley DeFarge, who has long held this gallant little body under her subjugation!

None other than the "Torture Committee”, commonly known as the Social Committee threw off the shackles of Madame's domination and announced that from here on out this vital organization would be in complete harmony with the policies of the new Republique. The slogan "of. by. and for the citizenry" will be enforced in every detail of future plan-ning by the "torture committee.’’

This branch of the revolution was led by Pierrot Kurtz Ebbert (did you know Kurtz was a hot-shot barn-dancer from a-way-back?). with the col-laboration of Pierrette Mildred Fries, which two red-heads functioned smoothly in over-throwing the royal Madame. The origin of this upheaval was at the instigation of La-twila Peck, whose recent comprehensive exams had resulted in the rather be-serk, revolutionary theory which was so heartily endorced by Pierrot and Pierrette Red-heads.

The only Tory in the "torture Committee’ was Monsieur "Brigham Young" McAuley whose apple-polishing stood in the way of bringing his famed salvation-al talents to the third estate socialites. Monsieur McAuley aided Madame Shockley in making good her escape from the coup d ’etat planned by less socialites. It is rumored that this Tory will be no less than guillotined for this apple-polishing. (P. S.—His apple got away!)

The new social committee has promised to discontinue their torturing activities except in the case of the plutocrat faculty members in which case the torture will be increased. But the third-estaters have been promised fewer sports-nights, no skating parties, fewer corny shows, and have been assured a bar in the S. U. R., jam-sessions in the gym, two o’clock study nights,—all under the adminis-tration of the "new torture committee.”

Rumors have it that the "gals of Macampus revolted against the tyranny of the heirarchy of Madame Shockley and Housefather Neher. The Women’s Confab headed by "Shorty” Long is considering the use of the extra matresses (from "old Fanny”) now in Arnold Hall, to smother the growing embers of revolt. "V for Vic" Long declares that if the girls would employ "good-will” principles to wrestle with their problems that everyone concerned would be happy.

One of the new rules is that beds must be made or the girls will get points; the girls say that they can’t get the point of making beds.

New Problems confront the "Chickens’ Council" each day. The most recent problem child is "Swingeroo Horner”. Lucile is spending too much valuable time at the V Club (during comprehensives too). "Mom” Pert is taking the wayward scamps under her wings and will hatch the bad eggs into good little chickadees.

Dick Burger’s advice about girls asking for dates has caused consid-erable confusion among the girls. We hear that Miss Neher and Miss Brown are frequenting “old Fahnsetock. What’s the attraction, girlies? Pert Neher is even becoming a problem to the Female Bund. It is said that the S. C. M. cider which disappeared from Arnold Hall last fall is sufficiently aged now and that Miss Nehr has a ‘rejuvenation party” for all of her friends on Saturday nights.

In a heated session at the Kangaroo court which convened yesterday at the Bastille, Thomas “Curly" Hayden, Parisian artist, was acquitted of complicity in the French capitalistic graft machine, and relieved of charges that he deserved guillotining.

Hayden, representing himself in the trial, reminded the court that one attempt at guillotining had already been made on him, remarking in connection with this attempt that it was not his fault that the executioner had miscalculated and had amputated him only from the hairline up.

Since his mis-execution, Hayden has been confined in the dungeon of the Bastille, where he has been amusing himself by drawing caricatures of various aristocrats, such as Robespierre Wayland, Father Pierre Peters, and Santa Anna Winkler, world famed Spanish bullfighter visiting in Paris to enjoy the revolution festivities. Drawing of these aristos stood Hayden in good stead when he was retired for guillotining yesterday.

Hayden, in pleading his case, indicated that he should be absolved of all guilt. According to the facts and figures he presented, Hayden's income for the fiscal year 1791, emphatically did not look like the national debt. His income tax, Hayden announced, amounted to two francs and an old palette. Therefore, he argued, he could hardly be classed with the lousy rich.

Hayden’s most telling blow was delivered near the end of the trial

Sadie Williams Bucks Ire Of Tarzan Winkler

Tarzan Winkler’s regime crumbled sandwich from Hotel Arnold Hall, by that ace reactionary "Sadie Williams, who, enraged at being accused of sneaking five overdue books in the stacks, when he had really only sneaked four, tackled the brute barehanded. Hearing William's screams, a group of his henchmen, among whom were Man-mountain Ronk, and "Beautiful Dreamer” Long, rallied to his rescue and snatched him from a gory death in the nick of time.

Today Williams, on who’s wrath the sun had set and risen again, found sympathy in "Horrible Harry” Reeves and "Bloody Bob" Mays, and quickly organized a band of revolutionaries to occupy the library.

At these drastic measures Winkler was "Simply shocked to death!" and screamed that, "We simply don't do this sort of thing in the library!” and shuffled coyly off to sob his troubles on the shoulder of Heckethorne who was not at all disturbed by the revolution, saying, "I’m not worried; they can’t run the library at the hands of insurrectionists led without me.”

The Council is debating on what to to do with Gulah Hoover and Round- house Winkler for skipping chapel.

(Our loss is Shotty’s gain) A few hurt, but a point of diminishing back rows has been reached.

Isa Crumbel, Merrylad Sandstrom, and "Doc" McRae are at the head of the committee which is solicting J. B. Trostle for a new Women’s Council Building. The Hens’ Convention wants to commend Richard Burger for taking Prof. Fisher’s place at the a cappella concert. Dick directed with his thumb (and didn’t hitch his trousers up like Prof, either).

Well if you didn’t get a crack taken at you (yet) in this issue, don’t worry, just remember Confucius say. "Man who put needle in haystack finally get it in end".

Fellow students! A time honored tradition, an annual attraction, and a hallowed custom on the campus of McPherson College has been broken. It broke upon us with a horrible certainty when we were least expecting it, and now the entire student body should be enlightened as to what happened on the night of the A Cappella concert. Older students have prob- ably already been struck by the purport of the situation, but for the benefit of this years freshmen this expose is herein printed. Comrades! The Kingfish did not hitch up his pants at the beginning of each new selection on the concert stage last week.

In the dear dead days almost beyond recall, for the benefit of this year’s freshmen, at the termination of each vocal upheaval of the choir, the Fish would do an about face on the podium and bow with great dignity and grace to every individual in the audience, In executing this bit of Orchesis one could notice hanging

from the Fish’s beltline a gold chain and millstone of obviously great proportions and no doubt ponderous weight. As this dignitary would bow, the weight would swing forward a d nearly overbalance our director, and at the same time would exert an ir-resistable force on his pants tending to drag them toward the ground. At the end of this bit of Terpsichore Kingfish would turn again to his battery of cornshellers presenting to the listening audience a vast expance of baggy cloth. Everyone thought that he was a coal miners son because of the slack in his pants. Then with a mighty heave he would hoist these loosely fitting jodphurs into position as if to say this number is really rough but we will squawk it out at any cost.

That is the concert as it used to be, a true work of art with a little dash of human fraility; but now those glorious days of yore are gone with the wind. The Fish has bought new pants.

As I sit here in my small, cramped, dark, dingy-appearing quarters, gazing moodily out of the window. I can hear the noise, of the milling, discontented crowd as they approach the public gathering place. The occasion? Of course, the guillotine. Today is the day. What day? I don’t know. Just another day in which numerous mangy, sneaking, crawlers will be guillotined for support of the self-appointed authorities who were also recently eradicated from this earth. Let’s see—there was Citizen Stucky, Klotz, Herr Geisert, until recently of Prussia, Harry Reeves, the Parisan Philosopher who advanced the theory that cooperation is the best policy, and until recently when his somewhat fattened—even bloated—head was cleanly and efficiently severed from his dainty trunk, practiced, in all of his dealings of efficiency.

As I go to the window, I can hear the clatter of hoofs, the distant rumble of the tumbrils as the sneaks are brought to the public meeting place —lets see—one—two- three—only four carts this time, (the boys in the LPC must be slipping.) The tumbrils are quiet. There is a diminuendo in the chorus of the waiting crowd—a few short minutes elapse—the tumbrils rumble off, their clatter becom-

ing less and less distinct, until finally, their noise can no longer be heard at all. The formerly milling discontented crowd moves away, feeling satisfied that it was worth all the effort—even if there were only five today.

Such is the new spirit—away with the tyranny of the corvee which under the modernized term is called required class attendance. Viva la freedom. Viva la arbitrary class attendance.

Ah, such peace, such quiet, such content—at last we are free—free from the tyranny of the despots, who under the mask of authority, were sapping the Third Estate, making it i subject to the will of the whims of the lucrative, power-seeking self-appointed rulers.

Viva la freedom. Viva la guillotine, the cheap method of eradication of rodents in office. Viva la press. And incidentally, if the First Estate doesn’t take over again and catch me, I can live in contentment until I die. —But hark! There is a knock on the door. It’s—it’s—it can’t be. but it is—Yes, there is the tumbril coming to the door—I fear that—yes, I, too, must go. As in the words of Madame McNicol, "All freedom—what Crimes are Committed in thy name.’’

fifth columnists, the revolution has revolted- - - -but here’s the inside dope on the revoluting experience— say, did you hear that citizen jim burger and bonnie bonnie lou have speeded up the town’s excitement by revolutionizing their lives, were you surprised jim— and just between us— have you heard what the rabbit said when he came out of a forest fire—you haven’t—i'.ve been “de

What is real americanism?—the chinaman says,” you melikans, funny people, you put sugar in drink to make it sweet—and lemon to make it sour—gin to pep it up—ice to cool it down—you give a toast "here’s to you” and then drink it yourself— gertie conner says that herbie ronk will be quite a man when he fills out but we aren’t so sure if he continues keeping such ungodly hours, and if he continues dissipating his manly physique by insisting upon using the Conner mobile so consistently—we don't see why the upperclassmen stand for such conduct from a freshman, are the upperclassmen revolutionists or royalists-----if anyone suc

Shouting “Long live the revolution! Down with com-pulsory class attendance. Down with paganism, we want Easter vacation!” and “The heck with classes!” The stu-dents, among who were Belle Chapeau Kerlin, Madamoiselle Lena Belle, and Terrible Ter Linville, stormed the Ad build-ing early today and, after fin-ally overpowering a strong force of faculty henchmen by Fearless Frank Forner Francisco Waylandea, and other faculty henchmen, they succeeded in entering the build-ing and capturing several the faculty members.

Mad with the lust for blood they began shouting "To the guillotine! the Guillotine!" and were not ap-peasd until DeSlatzy Boitnott’s land stature was shortened by about a foot, hewn from the upper portier. As the curriculum king stepped up the execution block he turned and drawled to the crowd. "You cain’t ex-pect to graduate effen ye do this to me,” took one last bite out of candy bar, spat out the tinfoil wrap-per, and went to his death as a true Virginian.

After years of complaint again the despotic rule of Financier and his deputy. Rambling Rock minister of finance they have finally been ousted from office by the inst-rectionists and are at present at the Bastille awaiting trial. Conviction almost assured as there has been growing resentment for years against the high handed methods doing business by the former incum-bents.

It was indicated by "Ruthless" Rogers, one of the leaders of the re-volt that exorbitant taxes have been charged for years yet long desired in-ternal improvements could not be ef-fected because of lack of money "Ruthless” Rogers pointed out that modern lighting fixtures have beenneeded in Sharp Hall, seat of the ad-ministrative and legislative depart-ments of the government, for almost two decades, but the treasury depart-ment repeatedly stated that no funds

were available for the desired im-

provement.

Ruthless Rogers went on to uner-tion many other needed reforms the

have not been effected because of

the lack of money. "Under the new regime. "Rogers states, "taxes will be

lowered; yet many of long desired

reforms will be effected." We are

through with extravagance and red

tape in the government finances

concluded Ruthless Rogers. Financer Fries and Rambling Rock will be brought to trial sometime next month with conviction almost as-sured. The new watchguard of the treasury under the Republican gov-ernment is Klotz. Klotz's big rec-ommendation was the fact that with in the last year he has been a suc-

cessful dry cleaning agent in care of the governments buildings. Klotz expressed a desire to appoint Vespa Voshell as his deputy but this would require special action by the cabinet
