Mrs. M. W. Emmert, affectionately known as Mother Emmert by upper-classmen and alumni of McPherson college, will be married Sunday noon to Mr. C. C. Price in Mount Morris, Illinois. Immediately following the wedding, the couple will leave for Lake Worth, Florida, where they will spend the next few months at the groom’s winter home.

Mother Emmert was matron of Arnold Hall at McPherson College from 1932 until last year. The present address of both is Mount Morris, Illinois.

New Activities Revolutionize Old Grad Week

Grid Tilt With Presbys Will Climax Homecoming

Many activities have been planned Homecoming week-end, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. The Pep Club has made tentative plans to hold a big bonfire and pep rally Hallowe’en night. Acti-vities Saturday will open with a big pep parade at 10 o’clock. The band, various floats, and the Homecoming queen and her attendants will be fea-tured in the parade. At two o’clock will come the climax of the whole week-end when the Bulldogs meet the Presbys in what is expected to be one of the toughest battles of the reason.

Supper will be served in the indus-ial arts shop in Fahnestock Hall in the evening if the present plans ma-terialize. This room served as the first dining hall of the college. At :30 Fahnestock Hall will throw pen her doors for her last “Open House”. It is expected that many will be on hand to bid “Fanny” a last fond farewell.

Drake Conducts Expose Of Personality Quirks

Dr. Bryant Drake of the First Congregational Church opened his speech for the Monday morning chapel program with a somewhat startling statement: “I am looking into the faces of hypocrites.”

Dr. Drake went on to say that today we do not have many hypro-crites who pretend to be better than they really are. On the contrary most humans at the present time have what Dr. Drake calls “Inverted hyprocrisy.”

People are afraid to let others know that they have emotions such as love and sympathy or that they have high ideals. Too many human beings are of the “shrinking violet” type. This type of a person, however, is not so modest as he may seem. In actuality he is afraid of other people —afraid or our “debunking process.”

We should not be afraid of being “debunked.” People ought to stop hiding their lights under bushel baskets.

Said Dr. Drake. “The only way to enjoy a natural, well-rounded happy life is to cease being an inverted hypocrite.”

Maxine Ruehlen and Wayne Gei-sert were sucessful in gaining the interclass debate championship for the sophomore class in a split-decision victory over juniors Wilbur Lin-ville and Ernest Peterson last Monday evening in the final round of the interclass tournament.

The sophomores and Juniors were entitled to advance to the final round of this week after having defeated the freshmen and seniors, respectively, in previous debates.

Sponsored by the Forensic Club of Macollege, the tournament this year was unusual in that every debate match was won by a 2 to 1 vote, or a split decision.

“The teams,” commented Prof. Maurice A. Hess, who has long been an enthusiastic supporter of all debate activities, “were more uniformly prepared and more evenly matched this year than in any previous year of the Interclass Debate Tournament’s history, as far as I can remember.” The ’41-’42 intercollegiate debate question was used during the local tourney. Resolved, that the Federal Government should regulate by law all trade union in the United States —constiutionality conceded.

Frosh Clients Give Program At Last Chem Club Meet

First year chemistry students had charge of the program at the last chemistry club meeting. Several of them gave short reports on subject of interest in the scientific world.

Those reporting included Gayle Temmel, Kurtz Ebbert, Edna Merkey, Herbert Ronk, Betty Kimmel, Darwin Culver, Violet Bollinger, Leonard Koger, Edsel Johnson, Mary Sli-fer, Mary Kittell, Yynn Postier, Al-vina Dirks, James Nagely, Eunice Swank, and Beulah Seitz.

Industrial Arts Department Sponsors Films

Sponsored by the Industrial Arts Department under the direction of S. M. Dell, numerous educational sound movies are being shown in the basement of Fahnestock Hall. This morning featured a partially colored film entitled, “The Making of American Homes.”

Following is the schedule for future pictures:

October 24—“Science Saves the Surface.”

October 30—“Romance of Industry.”

December 5—“Trees and Homes.” February 27—"Douglas Plywood.”

Warden Amrine Addressed Chapel Audience Yesterday

Warden M. F. Amrine of the Kansas State Penitentiary addressed the student body, faculty, and friends at a special chapel Thursday morning.

Many people have the wrong impression of those who are in prison.” he said. “It is not only the ignorant class that is found in such unfortunate circumstances, but also some of higher education. Four percent of the prisoners at Lansing are college trained, while six percent are illiterate.”

Not all prisoners are poverty stricken; however, of course some are. A store within the prison walls has a stock of 2,000 items and last year did a business of $50,000. Many of the men have regular incomes from such sources as rentals, pensions, etc.

There are 68 trades and profes-

Bernetta Denny, prominent senior girl, was yesterday elected by her classmates as 1941 crowner of the Homecoming Queen. Bernetta, home economics major, is secretary of her graduating class, member of the social committee, member of the dorm council, and has for the past two 3years participated in choral groups of the college, this year singing in the Oratorio Chorus. Having for the past four years been an active member of the S. C. M.. Bernetta has built up her influence among her classmates until this year she has achieved this position of honor.

Bernetta, together with the yet to be elected attendants to the Home

coming Queen, will occupy the place of honor with the Homecoming Queen at the Presby-Bulldog grid tilt on November 1.

Homecoming Queen, to be elected with her attendants next Wednesday, will be crowned by Miss Denny, electee of the senior class.

Hereafter the system of continuity in crowding of the Queen will be an established tradition, the Queen each year being elected from the junior class, and the crowner being the Queen of the year before.

The fact that this system is an innovation of this school year required a senior class election for crowner of the Homecoming Queen.

Situated in the rocky hillsides of southwest Belgium is the ancient castle in which we spent our sum-mers until 1940 when the war ma- chine forced our evacuation. During the winters we resided in the city of Brussels where my school was lo-cated. Here I studied the science of medical gymnastics for two years, the last year of which I was just finishing at the time of the outbreak of hostilities in mid-Europe.

My schooldays in Belgium were peaceful days; everywhere people were happy, gay, and carefree. After class hours students habitually spent their time visiting together or with their families. In the evenings, af- ter studying was done, they some- times went to the Royal Opera or attended a concert.

I was the leader of a Girl’s Scout group, and we always took presents to the families of the poor at the Christmas season.

At the end of each semester, we attended many school parties and meetings. Every day was filled with happiness. Then suddenly dark clouds of imperialism clouded the heretofore peaceful skies of Europe and my country, Belgium, and Lux embourg, were inducted into the war. Heavy bombardments twelve times a day caused the temporary closure of stores, banks, and post offices

Buildings everywhere were soon in ruins, and bodies of air-raid victims lined the streets. In the parks and woods the parachutists came down by tens and twenties, costumed as monks, priests, or boy scouts, all of them carrying concealed weapons. Government agencies broadcasted a statement that everyone must evacuate Brussels at once. Almost immediately refugees from many countries came in endless lines, all moving towards the South under a “fire-red” sky.

We were forced to leave family, friends, property, and souvenirs be- hind, perhaps never to retrieve them. Fast as we went, the bombs and para- chutists followed us until we reach- ed the southern part of France. At night we had to sleep in the street or parks, seldom finding shelter other than rat-infested rooms al- ready housing fifty people or more.

Extreme congestion of the cities because of the constant stream of

refugees passing through them caused sickness and plagues to break out. The food situation was very dis-

tressing, and the scarcity of gasoline and oil became so apparent that some times it was difficult for us to get from one city to another.

While travelling along the high way we were constantly besieged by enemy strafing planes which swoop-ed up and down over the long line

of refugees, spreading carnage and destruction everywhere behind them. At times the danger was so great that we were forced to leave the car and lie prostrate at the side of the road near any available shelter. Although there were many people killed in

these encounters, our party was for- tunate in escaping injury. The French army was forced to retreat without officers; hospitals every where were filled with wounded soldiers. Many times we had to walk three hours to procure bread from a neighboring city. Everywhere was chaos; confusion. Often all the stores

would be closed at the same time;

then the hungry people would throw stones at the store window’s, smash- ing their way in where the provisions were housed.

Consulates were filled with people demanding attention and we had to wait several weeks before it came our turn to be served. Finally we

had to wait for two days before en- tering Spain. There also we were

beset with difficulties. Scarcity of food and water and a steady diet of olives caused us all to become ill. A month later we arrived in Portugal from which we sailed for the United States.

Our terrible and heart-rendingrecollections of the brutality and hate prevalent in war torn Europe lead us to hope that soon warfare will cease.

a criminal class, but just a cross-section of society. We cannot have anything inside that was not first outside. The man who does wrong was at the time unbalanced. The difference is one of degree, not of kind.” Background obtained in the home is often important in shaping the future life of an individual.

The prison is a large industrial plant. Since corruption comes with illness, the men need the discipline of work. Degrees that pay the best dividends are those obtained by work.

Jessie Marie Virgil Stresses Care In Hair Styling

More than sixty girls attended the first “Charm Chat” of the season, presided over by Miss Jessie Marie Virgil, who spoke on “hair do’s” and hair health in general.

Miss Virgil, assisted by Miss Sleep-er, discussed with the college women the seven types of faces and corresponding hair styles for each. Margaret Hamm, model of the evening, was given special attention, and many of the girls received personal advice.

Sessions of this type will be continued throughout the year.

College Debaters; Compete To Join

Varsity Teams

Speech Season Starts As Tryouts Are Held;

Hopes High For Tourney

This year bulldog teams will try to win fame for McPherson not only by their athletic prowess on the grid-iron but also by the impace of their oratory and the power of their logical argumentation.

Men and women have just been drawing for places in the debate try- out which will determine the makeup of the varsity teams that will repre-sent the college in a state wide, and possibly nation-wide battle of words.

Sixteen men and eight women are in the competition. Of this number four of each sex will “talk themselves into the teams” by the orginality and integretated organization of their speeches, the power of their logic, and the clearness of their delivery and enunciation. Candidates will appear on the platform two at a time facing a committee of five judges composed of members of faculty Including Dean Boitnott and the debate coach, Dr. Bittinger. Although only eight students will be selected to form the four varsity teams, the runners-up will not have to remain silent for the rest of the year but will be given opportunity to participate in debates and perhaps prepare for a tryout in another year.

After the selection of the teams, training will begin in earnest under Dr. Bittinger’s direction for the first major tournament, to be held at Winfield, Ivan., in the latter part of November.

Thirty colleges from five states will take part, and the Bulldogs will need all the fire of their eloquence to duplicate McPherson’s record of last year when both our men’s and women’s teams tied for first place in the Pi Kappa Delta regional conference, vanquishing teams from Kansas, Colorado, and Nebraska. These victories have surely boosted McPherson’s application for admission to the Pi Kappa Delta National Honorary Debating Fraternity. Dr. Bittinger hopes that admission will be finally granted after McPherson’s participation in the national tournament at Minneapolis in the spring of ’4 2 which is definitely on the school’s debating schedule.

The speechmaking season is well under way, and one might paraphrase an old quotation and ask, “What is in a word?’’ On the McPherson campus the answer is, “plenty."

Homecoming Week this year will see the inauguration of a new tra-dition on the McPherson Campus. A precedent will be set that is to be fol-owed at all homecoming games in the future when the Queen will be selected from among four Junior girls nominated by their own class. From now on the Junior Class will be the “Royal Family” of the college. The Queen of the preceding homecoming will have the privilege of crowning her successor and bestowing upon her the regalia of her office. Since last year's Queen, Leta Beckner, has left the college, a Senior girl will be designated by her classmates to perform the crowding ceremony.

During her reign, the Homocoming Queen will be attended by two “ladies- in-waiting,” a freshman and a soph-more, so that all four classes will be well represented in the ceremonies.

Nominations for the office of Queen and attendants have just been com- pleted in special class meetings, and an impressive list of candidates will be presented to the student body for the final balloting next Wednesday. Many students will find it difficult to make up their minds after reading the names of the nominees. In their selection they should be guid-ed not only by beauty and appearance but also by popularity, abilities, and all-round intelligence.

Pretenders to the Homecoming Crown will be Kathleen Brubaker,

Mildred Fries, Jean Oberst, and Lu- ella Poister. The candidates for Queen’s attendant presented by the

sophomores are Maurine Gish, Har- riet Pratt, Marilyn Sandy, and Jean

McNicol. The foursome nominated by the freshmen includes Bernice Guth-als, Phyllis Mishler, Imojean Sheller,

and Violet Bollinger. And may the

best girls win!

Southwestern Bell Gives Exhibition

Crowds Fill Auditorium To Inspect Telephone

The City Auditorium was filled to capacity last Tuesday night for the "telephone night" demonstration and program given by the Southwestern Bell Telephone company. It was estimated that 1,200 people attended the program.

Many features of the telephone were explained and demonstrated and one of the most unique demonstrations was the recording of a voice and then the amplification of this voice through a speaker long enough for the entire audience to hear. The heart beat of a person was also amplified so it could be heard throughout the large hall.

Details of switch board work and how such boards operate was one of the interesting parts of the program, which was given under the leadership of Albert Butcher, manager of the local exchange. Another feature was a long distance call to Texas with the entire conversation being heard by the audience through loudspeakers.

Taxes Close Schools?

New York. N. Y.— (ACP)—Dr. Rufus D. Smith, provost of New York University, says a "break-the-rich" taxation policy of the federal government may result in closing of private schools.

The pending tax bill is an application of the policy, he believes, and exemplifies the United States’ "chaotic, political and haphazard approach to a total war economy.

"Private education in America has already been hard hit by lessened endowments and lower income returns Must is now face a depleted middle class income?” he asks.

Amrine Spoke At Local Church

Thursday Chapel Speaker

Addressed Forum

Last Tuesday

Warden M. F. Amrine, of the Kansas state penitentiary, spoke last night at 8 o’clock at the First Congregational church at the second Forum of the season He discussed the work being done by the state at the penitentiary, various types of prisoners and other phases of prison activities.

The warden was an interesting speaker and the public flocked to hear him. At the close of the address the audience was given an opportunity to ask the speaker questions concerning the state penitentiary.

Warden Amrine has been engaged in prison work for the last 20 years. He is a well known warden among prison circles throughout the United States and the Forum committee feels fortunate in having been able to secure him for the local platform.

Homecoming this year will be a real Homecoming. For the first time in many years, annual “old grad” week end at McPherson College is going to consist of something besides a Friday night football game. The committee has decided to make of Homecoming week-end a real returning for old grads. This year the game will occur on the afternoon of Saturday, November 1, allowing time for alumni and alumnae to return for a grand week-end.

On Hallowe’en, Macampus will stage a mammoth pep rally, preparing to support the team the next afternoon. Saturday afternoon—the game.

Then the old grads will repair to the basement of old Fahnestock for a final meal facetiously referred to by a campus cynic as “The Last Supper.”

And indeed it will be the last supper—for the basement of Fahnestock. This unique banquet hall will form a picturesque setting for the Homecoming dinner, because the basement of Fahnestock is the old dining hall to which many of the older alumni repaired regularly to “satisfy the inner man.”

To the younger ones who attend the dinner, the fact that soon Fahnestock will be no more will have little of interest. To the older ones, those who have memories and recollections forever imbedded in the ivy-covered walls of old “Fanny,” this dinner will be filled with pathos; with sentiment; with a quiet, leave-taking beauty.

Homecoming this year will be a real Homecoming.

Election of the Homecoming Queen this year is handled in a new and entirely unprecedented way. Never before has the election of the Homecoming Queen been restricted to the membership of the Junior class. Interest in the elections this year runs high, because students and faculty alike are waiting with bated breath to see if this system will work in practice as well as it works in theory. From now on, according to present ruling, Homecoming Queens will be elected from the female personnel of the junior class, attendants being selected, one each, respectively, from the freshman and sophomore classes, the theory being that in thus wise a continuity will be established, allowing each incoming Queen to be crowned by the outgoing Queen. Although this system will establish a continuity which is desirable it remains to be seen what student reaction will be to selection of a Homecoming Queen from the limited group in the junior class. The crowner of the Queen for this year’s Homecoming game will be elected from and by the membership of the senior class. Class nominations have been made this week and the general election will occur next Wednesday.

Well, children, your old uncle Dudley doesn’t have a story for you to-night—no snooping, no scooping, no diarying. No, just no—but definitely. A story—(ponder, ponder) — Is Kerlin in the crowd? No? Well shucks! You wouldn’t like to hear about Little Red Riding Hood again, would you? You would? Can you imagine that!

Well, then, listen my jockies and you shall hear—of Little Red's ride through the forest primeval, to begin at the beginning. What a funny name: Mother Goose—if L. R. R. Hood Was a Goose, but she wasn’t because she was a Hood—gave one of her offspring—if L. R. R. Hood did spring from the Goose family tree, why did they call her “Little”? Maybe she was little in her earlier years, but great oaks from little acorns grow, and in her prime—if 300 lbs. would be considered “prime”, if Miss Hood ever acquired the 300 lbs. during her lifetime— she must have felt funny being addressed as “Little”. And she didn’t even have red hair to merit the “Red” in her name—at least her latest photographs show her locks to be of the mousy brown variety. Maybe she’s had ’em touched up a bit since I last saw her. (My apologies since I don’t get around very much.) As for “Riding.” would you hate to have a handle like that? Most people aren’t called by their gerunds, but it all shows to go you that you can’t tell what this younger generation will do next. First thing you know they’ll be swiping people’s hot irons off their window sills. As for “Hood”, that’s a little more logical although it always reminds me of the type of head apparel doting mothers afflict their defenseless young infants with. Do ya’ s’pose that L. Red R. H. was any relation to Mt. Hood? Or “Hood Ya' Like to Love Me”? Whew; Did that one stink as bad where you’re sitting as it does from here? Quick, Henry, the Flit—before that one has little ones. One stinkeroo is enough in any family. But then, what’s in a name? ’Twas probably, just a pseudonym she wrote under to fool her public.

If you can follow this winding trail with me, we’ll eventually get back to where this detour began—somewhere in the middle of a corn patch, natcherly. But who wants to go back? Not any of the dorm girls, it is noted, after sleuthing around and getting an estimate of the number of points per capita stacked up in the last coupla weeks. Besides, I wouldn't want to steal Munro Leaf’s thunder since he’s been putting Oomph into the classics for the last two years in the American. Those chuckles in the back row don’t mean that you consider the tale of L. R. R. Hood an un-classic, do you? And ’nother thing, he—Munro—must have jumped the gun—and got that two years’ head start on me. Item no. 6—He’s got an illustrator par excellence and all I’ve got is a callous on the finger trying to learn to draw a straight line. Any of you budding artists who want to blossom may apply. The line forms to the right. And if there are too many of you for one line we can Adeline Moore.

The students and faculty members at Central college took the entire day off from work yesterday and staged a campus cleaning party. All classes were dismissed for the day and the students and faculty raked the entire campus, grubbed out sev eral dead trees, trimmed other trees and today the campus has a new appearance. To top off the day a big wiener roast picnic was held on the campus with students and faculty joining in the merriment. Last year a day was spent digging out dandelions in a similar stunt and several tons of dandelions were carted away.

Arlene “K. C. Kitty” Reynolds brought a temporary blight upon the campus, especially in certain quarters, by her absence this week-end. Ah! “Parting is such sweet sorrow”, isn’t it, Joe College?

Eleanor Moyer, Bernetta Denny and Blanche Geisert went home this week-end, and they along with Mary Ruth Herr bring back mouth-watering tales of juicy steaks and real butter.

If you saw a huge sign walking up Arnold steps early Sunday morning. you were not having an optical illusion. That was another sign Katie was bringing from home where she spent Saturday celebrating her birthday. She also brought a huge cake with her and says if you are real nice, she will let you look at it.

Carol Barringer returned from her home Sunday with provender to stock the larders on second floor Arnold. A feed that night took care of that. Girls gathered about real fried chicken, buns, and butter and heartily “fell to”. They say, “Eat and be merry, for tomorrow you must again digest oleo and apple butter.”

Kenny Thompson this week end left the campus to the supervision of the other boys.. He seemed to find greater attractions at St. Joe.

All that goes up, comes down. June Brockus and Isabel Crumpacker are evidences of that, and have lived to tell the thrilling tale of their ride over the airways at Wichita Sunday.

Studies of the comings and goings of Doris Ikenberry this week-end in relation to the zodiacal signs indicate definitely that she has a peculiar portion of the zodiac known as Harry the Crab.

We wondered why Imogene Sheller has been walking about in a daze for days, and are inclined to think that the presence of Dean Barton on our campus this week-end explains it.

College life ought to be life at its best and if so it is cause faculty and students make it so. When a student atAntioch College more than twenty-five years ago I saw a flower garden and the “black mammy” that inspired the following poem.

“I LIVE HERE”

A garden, a perfect mosaic, deep green ’gainst the black est of loam,

Spread out near a little log cabin—obscure but immaculate home!

I paused to admire it—who could help it?—the weedless expanse near the door,

Where, pleased with my pleasured inspection, stood “mammy” of years that are yore.

“A beautiful garden,” I ventured. She cupped a brown hand to her ear.

“Fine garden!” I shouted. “Oh, Sholy! It ought to be —I live here.”

I went on my way with a sermon as great as I had ever heard.

The highest paid preacher existent could never have added more.

Were every human who cumbers the tiniest spot of the earth

To see that the place he inhabits the work brain or fine gave birth—

Stood perfect as ’er he could make it—dear God, what different sphere!

Let’s borrow our motto from “Mammy”: It ought to

fine—I live here l

Strickland Gilliland

Imogene submits this statement to the press. “He is just a friend.” (You can draw your own conclusions. )

Lois Kreitzer will tell you there’s nothing like an unexpected telephone call and a follow-up visit from a certain boy, to “buoy” up one’s spirits. If you want to know which of the three boys it was—Harold Crote is his name and he came clear from Little Rock, Arkansas.

Distinguished visitors at our school this weekend were Mr. and Mrs. Iken-berry and Mr. and Mrs. Ickes who came to check up on their children.

Rachel Hamm. Barbara Holder-read. Byron Dell, and Lois Lawson honored us with their presence in our midst.

Macollege is becoming progress conscious! The college has this year adopted a retirement plan for its faculty; Homecoming week has taken on a new vigor, what with administration and physical education department shots in the arm; the health education department is broadening its vistas, intending to include by the end of this school year student physical examinations which are equal in quality to those boasted by any school in the state; the physical education departments are sponsoring up-to-date programs for their enrollees; and as a consequence, the entire student body and faculty have become college conscious.

Outcome of this trend toward progressive thinking and methods is that city, alumni, and constituency will inevitably come to regard McPherson College as a living, breathing institution.

Because of numerous other activ-ities there will be no I. R. C. meet-

ing this week

"Dutchie" Catherina Fruin, gave a very enlightenig talk of her ex-periences prior to her arrival in New York City. Dressed in a Dutch cos-tume, she adeptly related the hard ships she and her family endured af-ter war broke out. They were in Brussels and immediately left and headed south. After many hardships they finally arrived five months later in Portugal with very few of their belongings and not a bright future They booked passage on a Greek ship at great risk to themselves for Greece was in the war. Upon arrival in the United States they greatly appreciated our liberty and independence. “Dutchie" gave many entertaining stories of the European countries and people.

We appreciate having her on our campus and are glad to hear of her endless store of experiences.

Creative Leisure Commission

This commission has started with enthusiasm under the leadership of Eunice Swank and Bob Frantz. Our first project was constructive work for some one else. The commission made one hundred mite boxes for the Women’s Council of the Church. Lighthouses and map-of-the-world stickers were used for the tops of the half-pint ice cream cartons, while black tape sealed the lids. Since the pennies of the mite boxes will be used for mission work, the seals were appropriate.

Many different types of creative work are being sponsored. Some of these are: cork booklet covers and plaques, pillow tops of woolen yarn, bead work and leather craft. A new attraction is photography and how to develop your own pictures.

A possibility of party planning for different ages, active and inactive games, is before the group. For a permanent contributive project, a game file for the library is being,

planned

B. Y. P. D.

Continuing the general theme of “Building”, Professor Dell will speak to the B. Y. P. D. this coming Sunday evening on the subject, “Blue Prints for Life.” This subject promises to be of interest to all and your at- tendance is desired.

Last Sunday evening B. Y. P. D. goers were inspired by a vocal solo by Virginia Kerlin. and an enthusiastic talk by Dick Burger, promient stu-. dent minister, Burger recounted some of the great structures which man had built for his edification in contrast to the present building for destructive purposes.

Another week and again I sent forth my flight weary raven. The first time he sallied forth he found no place to rest, next he brought back an olive leaf, and then it was the whole tree; finally he brought a quarter section of land, mortgage included, and if he brings back the Triple A, of a defense project this time, I'll shoot the darned bird and barbeque him.

Since I have embarked upon my recent project of setting forth the resources of my knowledge for the disposal of those entertaining prob- lems of a personal nature I have been flooded with a deluge of mail, I mostly from advice seekers and those

who would encourage my recent trend; however along with the good there must be a little bad, and vice versa, and so it is with my fan mail. In this vein I would like to inform the doubter who wrote questioning my authority to write an advice to the lovelorn column that both Dorothy Dix and Beatrice Fairfax write to me when they get into trouble.

To the scoundrel who addressed his letter, “Dear Sap,’’ that your author is A. Sap! In the future please bear this in mind and act according-ly.

But now dear readers. I know that you are anxious to have the questions , that you so trustingly submitted answered so I shall embark straight, away upon that task.

A disillusioned girl writes this disparaging note, “Dear A. Sap, I like to go with fellows, but all the _boys I know always try to kiss me. What would you suggest that I do to meet the other kind of fellows?’’ _Perplexed, I am forced to answer this _poor little girl thusly—“What other kind?’’

To the worried husband who writes; “I am faced with a most dis- turbing problem. Every time I take my wife to the movies she falls in

Spectator Applauds

Feeling benevolent and coining to the conclusion that this isn’t such a bad old world after all, it behooves us to bestow a few well deserved honors on a few most deserving persons. Thus we say:

Miss Staehling for her excellent cooperation in making the Pajama parade possible last week.

Here Comes The Bride!

Wedding bells chiming, cupid busily aiming his sure-shooting arrow, “Here Comes the Bride (and bridegroom)” being made the hit tune this summer and the love-bug doing his small bit in biting are all characteristic of the past summer’s events, for at least eighteen of Macollege’s students.

Spring, ah, ’twas spring! Now Wayne Parris and Melba Burger have become Mr. and Mrs. Wayne plans to continue his schooling at Macollege this year.

Marjorie Anderson, last year’s graduate, and Kenneth Morrison, also a former student of Macollege, marched up the aisle last month to become the Morrisons. “Kenny” has a government position and the couple plan to travel for some time with his work.

love with Clark Gable. What measures shall I take to keep from losing her?” I would suggest that you needn't worry, Pal. I’m sure that the romance isn’t mutual.

Two women seem to be causing one of my advisees considerable unrest. To this young man I would like to suggest—go to your wife and promise that you will never strike your mother-in-law again when her back is turned. After all. there is no sense in being subversive about it.

In answer to the couple who write thusly: “Dear A. Sap; We have just entered into the greatest adventure that life has to offer, namely: marriage. We are certain that you couldn’t find a pair who were better suited for each other than we are. We waited until we were sure that, we knew what we were doing before we took the final step. Since my wife is sixty-five years old and I am sixty-seven I feel that we have probably passed the puppy love stage. Therefore, you can see that our problem is not in getting along with each other. We wondered. Mr. Sap, if you knew of a cozy little cottage for rent near a school.” I would reply No, I don’t know of any houses for rent near a school. Why?

I would like to inform the fellow who sent in the letter signed S. M. X. that I am merely a column writer, not a criminal lawyer!

A young lady wrote a long letter asking if I knew of a clean, wholesome young man who would like to keep company with an attractive and talented young lady who has a good job and a new car to send him around, In reply to this poor lonesome little girls most pathetic letter—I’ll be around about 8:00 P.

Poesy And Prose

Everybody knows the inspiring poem “If”, and everyone remembers the test it gives for true courage— “If you can meet with triumph and disaster, and treat these two imposters just the same.” “Carry On” carries out the challenge in these lines.

Things never were looming so black. But show that you haven’t a cowardly streak,

Roberts wrote this poem for some friends of his, who failed in their buisiness. We are dedicating it to the football players and coach to let them know we are behind them, yelling, 'Carry on!”

No wonder Cain turned out badly, here wasn’t a single book on child psychology.

Webster defines loneliness as the state of being depressed. Some of us are easily discouraged and are lonely many times. We could overcome this cast-down spirit, but instead we feel sorry for ourselves and try to make our friends feel that it is their responsibility to cheer us up. And too, we do have disappoint- ments which make us feel depressed regardless of what is said or done. Jessie Sowders has written this poem which might help us when we are feeling lonely.

If you’re feeling sad and lonely,

And you don’t know what to do,

Here’s a cheerful little message That I’m telling now to you—

Don’t you let the blue imps get you, For as sure as God’s on high,

In the dark cloud there’s a rainbow, And it’s hanging in the sky Just to tell us that the darkness Is a shadow that is cast By the brightness of the sunshine. Which we’ll see when clouds are past. So whate’er the seeming sorrow Just have patience watch and pray, For the sun is always shining Though it be not seen to-day.

Just in case anyone has the idea that married life would be much nicer than remaining single, Dorothy Parker writes this piece of poetry no (offense to you students who have al-ready added a Mr. and Mrs. to your names).

By the time you swear you’re his, Shivering and sighing,

And he vows his passion is Infinite undying—

'Lady, make a note of this:

One of you is lying.

Georgia Advocates

Atlanta, Ga.— (ACP) — Georgia selective service headquarters has recommended that college students be deferred from military training as long as they “maintain a standard of academic work which is satisfactory to the college and to the local board,”

Major Charles J. Brockman, state occupational deferment director, said the new deferment recommendation will include all college students not yet placed in classification 1-A.

Local boards already had been authorized to defer students taking “essential courses” such as medicine, dentistry, chemistry, engineering, biology, geology, physics and mining, but the state headquarters wants the grades looked into first.

Wildcats Nose Out Dogs In 7-0 Win

Pass In Third Quarter Set Stage For Touchdown

Last Friday night the Baker Wild-cats invaded McPherson, expecting sweeping victory over the Bulldogs. The Wildcats consistently hammered at the Bulldog line, however the canines fought fiercely and prevent-ed the Wildcats from scoring until the third quarter.

Because of a pass followed by

line plunge the Wildcats forced their way over the line to score the first touchdown. Kicking for the pinpoint Baker then made it 7-0.

In spite of the fact that three of Macollege’s Bulldogs were injured in the first half the second string backfield men came through in gram fashion.

Callen was injured in the first quarter and will be out a full week Squeak Meyer and Jack Vetter veteran line and back field men were the outstanding players of the game.

Inexperienced men supported by a few of our experienced players surprised Baker by holding the score to 7-0.

The Baker boys were quoted as saying that this was the first game this year where they had to really play football to win, and also said that McPherson had a fighting squad.

The Bulldogs will probably receive a friendly reception tonight when they become the guests of the Bethel College Graymaroons and they will undoubtedly be greeted by a determined Graymaroon eleven when they take to the field for their third conference game of the season. For the Bulldogs this evening will be play-ing what is rapidly becoming the grid game of the year.

Rivalry between the Bulldogs and their neighbors to the south has re-placed the old “Swede” feuds an Kansas Wesleyan jinx battles as the game of the year. Their nearnes in location has made them competi-tors for high school material and to night coach Otto Unruh will doubt less see some of his summer’s dreams all decked out in red and white. And Hayden may also see some “prodigals”.

As far as the past contests between the two teams thus far are concerned, the Graymaroons had to be satisfied with the worst end of the deal. They have to boast only two victories over the Bulldogs in what has been over fifteen years of competition.

However, the fighting “Dutchmen” have been extremely stubborn and difficult to handle for the past several years, and have staged last-minute demonstrations which are pet “nightmares” for Bulldog mentors and fans. Among such bad dreams is the overwhelming of a 16 point advantage which the Bulldogs held athalf-time in one of their recent games.

The Bulldogs are judged by many local "experts” to be a stronger a aggregation than they were last year with a much better ability to block and tackle, along with other funda-mentals. Last Friday night they looked like champions when the nearly whipped the conference fav-orites, Baker, whom they had reeling on their heels for most of the game. The changes which Coach Hayden probably the cleverest strategist the conference, has made in the Bull dog line-up, has worked wonder with the Canines strength, and mark ed improvement has been seen every game. And both teams are out to win tonight.

The probable Bulldogs starting line-up will be: L. Hill and French at ends, Barret and “Slug” Meyers at tackles, Goertz and Kough at guards, "Squeak” Meyer at the pivot spot and Vetter, Pauls, Buller and Lengel in the backfield.

at tackles, Kaufman at one end and Reusser and Dester alternating at the other wing.

In the backfield, it will be Marvin (Bus) Westerman, Marlin Krehbiel, Gene Unruh and Roy Bartel.

Unruh will have available two com- plete sets of line to hurl at the vis- itors and among the reserves Milt Goering, Mario Krehbiel and Oswald Goering, all tackles, have been showing up well. Referd Westerman, freshman back from Moundridge, is showing considerable promise and

Harold Balzer, freshman back from Lehigh Is developing into the best

passer on the team. Coach Unruh said. If Bethel goes to the air Friday night, he will be given an oppor-tunity to do some pitching.

Carl Voth has been shifted from the backfield to center and the Gray-maroons have another pivot man in Bob Wedel.

Conference Jottings

By Merle Finfrock

Three games loom in the Kansas Conference this week-end.

Friday night the impressive looking McPherson Bulldogs travel to Newton. On Saturday College of Emporia takes on the Baker Wildcats and Ottawa goes to Kansas Wesleyan for their game.

Last week-end three out of four Kansas Conference games were thrillers and one was a horserace.

Baker University had a decidedly downward slide but finally won 7-0 over those fighting Bulldogs from McPherson. It was McPherson’s home grid opener.

The Ottawa Braves eked out an-other victory over William Jewell 13-12. In the series of games between William Jewell and Ottawa, Ottawa has dropped but one game in the last 10 or 12 games between the two colleges.

Kansas Wesleyan barely won their tilt from those fighting Swedes, 26-10. It was one of those games where everything went well. Nearly every play worked with perfection. This resulted in an exciting game.

Fort Hays invaded the College of Emporia and swamped the Presbies by the overwhelming score of 57-0.

revived the "T" as a result of its suc-cess last year. Many of the Big ten and Big Six teams have added formation plays to their old systems. Bethel and Bethany are using a "T” formation in the Kansas confer-ence and the Bulldogs will have a

task of mopping Bethel's "T" from them tonight.

Although the "T” formation has taken the country by storm this year it is not expected to eliminate a single wing back, the double back, or punt formation. The coaches still believe that the for-mations will still win them confer-ence championships as they have the past.

mage, back of the quarterback. The quarterback receives the ball from center on every play and hands or laterals it to one of the other back- field men or passes or runs with it himself.

“Can the “T” formation be stop- ped? ” is the question college coaches asked each other all summer. In an effort to stop Stanford last year, five man lines with six men in the secondary and many other defenseswere tried with no apparent success.

Last week, a combination of the weather and Oregon State beat the Stanford Indians to break their victory string. The “T” formation which calls for clever ball handling and much deception will not function properly on a wet muddy field.

Coaches all over the country have

Important changes are taking place in football this year and without a doubt the resurrection of the “T” formation is the cause for most of the changes.

The “T” formation is nothing new. Coach Hayden used to play it and coach it. It was resurrected last year by the Stanford Indians of the col- lege ranks and Chicago Bears of the professional league with amazing success. Clark Shaughnessy, Stanford coach, and George Halas, coach of the Bears, did make one important change from the “old model 'T'. They added a man in motion laterally from the line of scrimmage. This man in motion can block, receive a lateral pass and then pass or run with or merely serve as a decoy. This baffled all the teams that Stanford and the Bears played last year.

The “T“ formation derives its name from the way the backfield lines up. The quarterback stands immediately behind center. The halfbacks and fullback then line up in a line, parallel with the line of scrim-

Bethel Prepares For Clash With

Bulldogs

Week's Rest Allows Graymaroons To Recuperate

Newton, Oct. 16—Aided by a two- week rest period that enabled injuries to heal, Bethel college is mobiliz-ing its full strength for the invasion of the McPherson college Bulldogs, who make their annual appearance at Athletic park stadium Friday night in a Kansas conference grid encounter.

It is the game of the year from the standpoint of rivalry and both will be seeking their initial conference win.

“Dope doesn’t mean a thing and McPherson is going to be tough, as always. ” observed Coach Otto Unruh yesterday, pointing out that the Bull- dogs held the strong Baker eleven to a one-touchdown victory last week.

Last week’s open date gave the Graymaroons a much-needed oppor- tunity to polish upon offensive plays and two regulars, Captain Elton Krehbiel, tackle, and Marvin Dester, end, have recovered sufficiently from injuries to take their places in the lineup.

Bethel will be able to pit its regular forces against the Buldogs, with Jantz at center, Staerkel and Schrag at guards, Duerksen and Krehbiel

tion service of the student-built sta-

dium will take place. In a special

compartment in the center of the stadium a parchment with the names of the 141 stadium workers will be sealed during the ceremony. During the 30 minute half, the college band will perform, and Roy Bailey, Salina Journal editor, will dedicate the stadium in honor of Glenn L. Martin. A reception in Pioneer Hall will follow the game, at which students, faculty, and guests will have an opportunity to meet Mr. Martin.

Glenn L. Martin Field is student- made and does not boast any skilled workmanship. It was a vocational training project for the college, sponsored by the National Youth Administration and the city of Salina. Included among the honor guests will be NYA officials, Miss Anne Laugh-lin, state director; Horace Santry, lo-cal head when the stadium was built; and George Campbell, construction engineer.
