A mistake was made in the article announcing the engagement of Betty Young to Dean Neher. Dean Is the brother of Lyle and Gerald Neher.

Attention has been called to the fact that the state of Oklahoma was not represented In the writeup last week entitled. "Half Of Students Come From Kansas."

Kerr, J. D. Pote, Leland Wilson, Gilford Ikenberry and Beryl McCann.

On Sept. 4 when I arrived at school I could hardly wait to see the new library-no longer a Carnegie but a Beeghly! The only thing that convinced me that it was once the old library I knew us an Underclassman was that it still stood In the same spot.

My ears were buzzing from the quiet of the library as I remembered all the hammering and sawing that dominated the library last year.

The past nine months of school hud seen us shift students from one nook of the library to the other as the carpenters built the new fireproof addition, which houses the book and magazine stacks, on the south of the old Carnegie Library.

Last week amidst a very wet drizzle two ancient automobiles wheezed out of the windy city toward New York. It was a race involving a Stoddard-Dayton horseless carriage of somewhat disreputable pedigree, and a Stanley Steamer road locomotive. The drivers were to settle for once and all the question concerning which typo automobile is the best—steam or gasoline. (That's odd — I thought the question was settled long ago.)

So important was this event in the annals of American History that it was followed by all the news services in the country.

About the same time this escapade was shattered upon the American public, another great automotive adventure, unheralded by the press, was taking place in that city of wind, Chicago.

Bill Moore was getting ready to leave for college. Having scouted the city for the host auto he could find—for fifteen dollars that is, he finally located what apparently was a Chevy in a heap of Iron near an old steel mill. Flushed with success, he urged the thing home, filled the tank with kerosene and moth balls, gathered up his friend. Al Zunkel, and started for broad Kansas plains. At the last moment Dolores Sigle was invited to go along as chaperone.

The trip was uneventful for the first thirty miles. Then pilot Moore seemed to notice a slight settling left rear. At first he thought it was Just Miss Sigle, but after realizing she was in front, he dragged his feet and stopped the thing. Sure enough, after twenty-five faithful years a tire had gasped its last. The fellows Immediately piled out the equipment for the necessary operation and had it not been for their ex-

Sixty-eight Take Proficiency Tests

Sixty-eight hopeful juniors and seniors filed into the chemistry lecture room at 8:00 last Friday morning to take their English Proficiency tests.

The test was composed of writing an acceptable composition on one of the topics listed.

Topics from which to choose were: Desirable Qualities for a College Professor, Reasons Why Shakespeare's Plays Never Grow Old, Literature and a Liberal Education, Professionalism in College Athletics, Recreation in Modern Living, An Ideal Home, The Most Useful Man (or Woman) In My Community, and My Opinion of American Diplomacy.

A satisfactory paper on this test is a prerequisite for graduation from Macollege.

West Elected To CBYF Cabinet

Don West, a Junior has been elected to the college CBYF cabinet to replace a vacancy left by Bertha Landis, who did not return to school.

The college CBYF meets every Sunday evening at 6:45 in the church basement.

Other members on the cabinet are Harold Smith. Betty Ann Murrey, and Gerald Neher.

pert guidance, Miss Sigle never would have gotten that tire changed.

After hours had passed, the strain of the bumps began to show their effect. Miss Sigle began to complain that the cupped seats did not meet in the middle. She was offered a seat in the back, but it did not work as Al Zunkel had insisted on bringing his piano to school to entertain the boys on third floor. Finally, after much discussion, Miss Sigle was detained to ride the ridge in the middle of the front seat.

Many hours later In the shadow of the state prison In Joliet the horsepower ceased to function and the car came to a halt. Zunkel mentioned that he thought the motor had been missing since they left the West Side, but Moore insisted that the motor had been there since he had bought the scrap iron. Sigle lifted the hood and found that the motor was not missing, they were Just out of gas.

They realized that they were getting about fifteen miles to a hamburger but had forgotten to feed their beast of burden. After Miss Sigle returned with the gasoline, the trip was resumed. If all adventures of this trip were told in the Spec, this article would take on the aspect of the page reserved for wedding announcements, endless, that is.

Let it be sufficient to say that forty hours and some six-hundred miles later these stalwart pioneers of the American Highway chugged into McPherson. While the Mayor did not have the hand out to welcome them and the streets were not lined with carious people, we are happy at McPherson College that our parallel to the Museum of Science and Industry race ended in astounding success.

Barahoma Observes And Likes Mac

Isabel Barahona, from Honduras, Central America, is getting a taste of American education this semester.

Isabel graduated from the Honduras Girls’ Normal School in Tegucigalpa and has taught thirteen years In the Evangelical Normal School In San Pedro Sula.

She received a leave of absence from her teaching to study for a half year in any school in the United States. She chose McPherson because she wanted to attend a Christian college.

The trip to McPherson was made with Miss Rosadel Albert, a missionary in Honduras, whose parents live In McPherson. Isabel will return to her teaching after Christmas with Miss Albert.

Miss Fee and others are helping Isabel to take courses and do observation work that will be of especial value to her in her normal school teaching.

Among the things which Isabel particularly likes about Macol-lege are: the Christian atmosphere: the liberty to choose elective courses: the participation of students in activities; and especially the friendly feeling between students and students, faculty and faculty, and students and faculty.

She states that she came to the United States for a new knowledge of Intellectual development, and she hopes that her wish will come true.

We Take It For Granted

We are prone to take for granted our freedom. We have come to accept such things as the radio, automobile and the deep freeze without much thought. Our religious freedom is generally accepted the same way. Do we ever ask ourselves why we are so fortunate?

Remember last Saturday. We were anxiously waiting for the football game to begin, when, as tradition stands the Macollege Pep Band let go on the notes of “The Star Spangled Banner.” What happened? Everyone, man, woman, child and football player, referee and coach came to attention facing the American Flag.

What were we thinking about as we stood there, eyes fixed on “Old Glory” as it was being raised, ears hearing the strains of our national anthem? Were we thinking of the football game and wondering who was going to win, or were we thinking that at that very moment our boys were fighting in Korea?

About that same time not so very far away, preparations were being made to take “Heartbreak Hill”—an important hill that was in the hands of the Reds.

A whole division was thrown against this one little hill. The group was soon reduced to batallion strength and the hill was finally taken by only three men of that original 1,000.

Congratulations But—

The officers and members of the Macollege “M” Club ought to be congratulated, on the fact that this fall their annual traditional “New member” initiation was held on a Tuesday and not on a chapel or assembly day.

In years past we remember when an assembly program or chapel worship service was interrupted with the clatter of baby carriages and the sound of “high heels." We have to admit that this does not add to but rather sub- tracts from the meaning that chapel or assembly periods should have for adults.

We hesitate to say further that there is something concerning the recent “M” Club initiation which is not to be commended, but rather criticized. However, as in all of life, we must face the bad as well as the good, if we are to grow to be stalwart and stable adults.

We are inclined to believe that initiations need not be an ordeal, instead they could be creative.

In a large eastern university (Indiana, I believe) directly following the last war, a new era was developed in the initiation program of that institution.

The returning GI’s, back from brushes with death, were disgusted by the mumbo-jumbo of initiation rites. An initiate was drowned while being “dunked” in the school pond. A returned soldier was the president of the student body and since he saw little use in pulling all kinds of embarrassing stunts, and causing “accidental deaths”, he decided to seek for something creative in initiation exercises"

The GI, after getting the faculty’s consent took the initiates of an organization to a local school building. There they cleaned off old paint and repainted the building. Here was a creative gesture; and though it was work, the initiates loved it. Soon all the societies took hold of the idea. Now, the president of the student body is kept busy receiving calls about possible projects for initiates. The university president says that the school organizations are all on a higher level now.

It has come to our attention that there are lettermen on Macampus who are eligible for membership in the “M” Club, but because of the type of initiation practices these persons refuse to join. Not only is this true now, but this has been the case for a number of years.

Some highly successful and prominent men would would have joined the club—if the tactics were creative instead of destructive. We know it is in the heart of all men on Macampus to be able to join the "M" Club and we are sure they are not “sissies” for they have earned the letters. It is a shame that these eligible persons will not be able to join the club.

When a society executes a plan whereby a human personality is degraded with lewd and vulgar acts, we come to think that we are not living as Christians but non-Christians, that we are not living as adults but as children. Perhaps we would expect such things from children, but we are adults in our thinking.

When any organization plans and executes an initiation which is clearly aimed at upsetting a chapel program or a worship speaker, embarrassing an initiate or a member of the fairer sex, or degrading one’s own personality, it is time for us to remind ourselves that we are now adults living in a grown-up world.    D.

Concordia Teachers Here Tonight

Tonight will find the McPher-son College Bulldogs playing host to Concordia Teachers College of Seward, Nebraska. Game time is scheduled for 8:00.

Heading the coaching staff for the team from the cornhusker state is Herbert Meyer, who is now serving his tenth year as head football coach, at Concordia. The school colors are blue and white. The Concordia Teachers also have the nickname of Bulldogs.

Coach Herbert Meyer has a nucleus of fourteen lettermen around which he has built his 1951 gridiron team. The Bulldogs have been fielding powerful teams the last two seasons. This year they are again making it clear that they won't be push overs. In the Bulldogs opener last weekend, they waltzed to a 46 to 0 victory over Sterling College.

Heading the list of returning backs are lettermen Herbert Peter, Larry Keiser, and John "Sid" Seevers. Peter and Keiser were two of last year's team leading ground gainers averaging better than six yards per carry.

Seevers will play the role of quarterback and will also handle a large share of the passing duties for the team from Nebraska tonight. The other backfield letter-man is Gordon Wendling.

At the end positions Meyer has five experienced performers, Marlin Zobel, last year’s leading scorer. and Dick Walther will handle mostly offensive duty while Paul Koehnke and Harry Brockberg will take charge defensively.

The Bulldogs greatest weakness seems to be In the center of the line. They are very short of experienced hands at this spot. Big Gene Oetting, a workhorse from last year's team, and Paul Walther head the list of tackles.

The guard spots will be held down by Don Firbhaver and Robert Gaede. The overall squad is lighter than last year's team, but this Concordia squad should give Coach "Woody" Woodard Bulldogs a good battle Friday night.

Coach Woodard's Canines showed a great deal of power at times in last weeks encounter with Bethel. The Macollege Bulldogs have a great deal of reserve strength this year, and it showed up very strongly in the last half when Woody did a great deal of substituting. The Bulldogs reserves pushed over a touchdown and held the Graymar-oons from scoring.

Who will start for Coach "Woody” Woodard’s Bulldogs against Concordia Teachers this Friday will depend on the flip of the coin, and how many members of the squad will be fit to play. This week several of the players are down with the flu, and it is not known if they will be ready to go at game time.

Pat Royer Heads Macollege WAA

The shot was fired and the WAA got off to a good start on their year’s activities Sept. 10 when the organisation sponsored a party to enlist new members.

They Included: individual

sports, Martha Lucore: tennis,

Hatsuko Kanazawa: outing, June Blough: and softball, Rowena Merkey.

Mac Tennis Squad Has 50-50 Season

Coach Gordon Yoder’s 1951 Macollege tennis team had nearly a 50-50 season as far as wins and losses were concerned. The team Improved consistently during the season.

Dick Horning, a five-foot-eight-inch shorty from Lamed, was the team’s No. 1 player during the season. He was a semi-finalist in the Kansas Conference tournament.

Another short player. Lloyd Hummer. Booker. Texas, and lanky Bill Frantz. McPherson, alternated in the No. 2 and No. 3 assignments. with Frantz getting the and late in the season.

Don West, Pampa, Texas, was the team's No. 4 man.

The team won and lost six matches during the season, beating the College of Emporia, Bethel College and Tabor College twice each and losing two each to Southwestern College, Bethany College and Friends University.

Over the season, McPherson singles play showed a record of 28 wins and 27 losses, and a 5050 record in 28 doubles matches.

An oddity occured in doubles play as the team won and lost the same number of matches, sets and games.

In singles play, Frantz won seven and lost five: West won five and lost two: Hummer won five and lost nine: and Horning won seven and lost nine.

The McPherson College "Bulldogs" tromped the Bethel Gray-maroons last weekend to the tune of 39 to 0, before a capacity crowd of nearly 3,000 a the College stadium. as they opened the season with a Kansas Conference victory.

Long runs for substantial gains featured the McPherson offensive with 16 runs of 10 yards or more each being made by the Canine's ball carriers. McPherson piled up more than twice as much yardage from ground plays than Bethel.

McPherson scored in every period of the game. Midway in the first quarter Robison skirted left end and plunged over from the 2-yurd mark for the Bulldogs first TD. McSpadden lugged the ball over for the extra oint.

Early in the second quarter Gene Smith scored from 28 yards out on an end run. The try for extra point by Robison failed.

The rest of the second quarter was played on fairly even terms with neither team being able to score. The Bulldog threatened several times, but was unable to push the pigskin across. The half ended with the score standing at 13 to 0 in favor of the Bulldogs

On the fifth play in the third quarter, Smith broke away and ran 40 yards to score for the Canines. It was after this TD that Ball carried the ball for the extra point. A few minutes later Ball

jaunted 21 yards to reach the Bethel 30, and on the following play McSpadden went around the end of the line to hit pay dirt. Smith’s attempt to carry the ball for the extra point after touchdown failed.

Just before the third quarter ended. Smith displayed some of the power that made him such a threat last year, by making a spectacular 79-yard broken-field run that netted McPherson Its third TD of the period. Don Hoch attempted to carry the ball over for the extra point but failed to make it.

Early in the final period. Howard Hehlinger, quarterback, tossed a pass to Bob Bechtel for a total gain of 45 yards and a touchdown. Another pass, by Mehlinger to Sharpe, netted the Bulldogs the extra point.
