Macollege Is Host To BSCM Conference

Bohemian Girl a Success
(Editorial) An estimated nine or ten hundred persons including students, conference guests, and townspeople attended the presentation of “The Bohemian Girl” an open by Balfe and produced by the combined Macollege Choirs Thursday night. Nov. 15, in the Community Auditorium.
Chicago Stock Show Given Nov. 24 To Dec. 1.
The International Live Stock Exposition and Horse Show will be held in the Chicago International Amphitheatre Nov. 24 to Dec. 1.
In the nine times that the two squads have clashed, the Bulldogs have come out battered and bruis-ed, but still on top of the dogpile with the record of five wins, one tie, and three losses.
Last season under 'the new leadership of Coach Woodard the Bulldogs spanked the hustling Quaker squad 38-7 in the final same of the season for both teams.
Comparing these two teams is rather difficult, for they both played in different leagues. Last week the Baker Wildcats recovered from the tailspin that they have been in all year and dumped the Quakers 34-30. In the earlier part of the grid season the Bulldogs fairly drowned the Wildcats in a rain storm to the tune of 20-6.
The Quakers have not a very impressive record when it is look-ed at from a win-loss angle; they have won 3 and lost 5. But the Quaker footballers under the lead-ership of Earl L. Craven are always a fighting bunch. If the Quakers are given a chance, they are liable to capitalize on it.
The Quakers have a fairly well-balanced team; they do not have a particular big gun in their lineup as they hud last year in Hudgins. Hudgins was the big spring in the offensive machine of the Quak-ers; and when he got wound up, the opposition was in for a rough day.
The past week Couch Woodard has been trying to keep his men from sitting back and counting the blue ribbons that they have brought home from the grid wars and taking for granted that the friends University game is already in the bag.
The Quakers are tough and will be determined to even the score with the Canines tomorrow night.
The past week the Bulldogs have been rigging up a defense to stop the split-T that the ball Club of Coach Craven employs. The pass defensive of the Bulldogs has been truly great for the most part of the season. Also, the opponents of the Canines have found it very difficult to move on the ground.
The Bulldogs have become famous this season for their great offensive mahcine that has been rolling up yardage almost at will, but had it not been for the strong defense line-up that Couch Woodard was able to put onto the field the Bulldogs might not have such an impressive record.
Last week the Bulldogs finished their Kansas Conference schedule with the best record that they have hung up since 1933, when the Bulldogs racked up seven wins to two losses. The coach leading the powerhouse of that year was Melvin Binford.
If the Bulldogs win from the Quakers, they can duplicate that record, for they now stand on top with six wins and two losses.

Moslem Student Arrives At Mac
On Oct. 16, about 9,000 miles separated Macollege’s newest student from the rest of the student body. Twenty-six-year old Nafez Abder-Rahman Budeiri, Mohammedan pre-engineering student from the Hashemite Kingdom of the Jordan arrived here on cam-pus last week to begin studies.
Nafez, whose home is in Jerusalem, flew from that city to Beirut. Lebanon where he took a boat to New York. The remainder of the trip, from New York to McPher-son, was completed by bus.
First impressions have evidently been satisfactory, for Nafez says that he likes McPherson, although it is larger than he expected, and it is "quiet and not crowded." He also likes Macollege, and plans to attend here, two years before transferring to a university.
The climate, too, is not disturbing to the Jordanite enrolee who says that Kansas weather is very similar to the weather of Palestine. American food, he says, is "very good, but different."
Budeiri is one of a family of three children. He has an older sister and a younger brother, who graduated in engineering from school in Alexandria, Egypt. His father is a Mohammedan religious man; his mother is deceased.
Before coming to this country. Budeiri was employed for two years in the Government Public Information Office (a branch of the Foreign Ministry), and for three years previous to that as a civilian electrician in the British army.
Budeiri’s country, the Hashemite Kingdom, is a section of the territory which, prior to 1945, was called the Trans-Jordan. At that time, the late King Abdullah was crowned on the throne, and the Hashemite Kingdom was created. In November of 1947 the United Nations approved a division between the quarreling' Arabs and Jews.
