Juanita Fike, Macollege sophomore. has been selected as an exchange student for the 1957-1958 school year. This is under the sponsorship of the MCA.
Juanita plans to go to Germany because she has heard so much about it and the Church of the Brethren had begun there.
An English major, Juanita is from Peace Valley, Mo. She has four brothers, two of which graduated from Macollege and one has attended Mac.
Selection was made by a committee of faculty and students. Criteria for the selection, among other things, were health, scholarship, personality, and the given reason for going. For personality, the ability to mix well with others and to adjust to new environments were especially considered.
JoAnn Negley of Durham, Kan., was selected as an alternate if Juanita is unable to go.
The MCA has a project this year of sending an exchange student to any country that is open for such a program.
MCA will pay $300 of the total expenses of the year away, and the cost to Juanita will not be more than that of one year of college in the States since the estimated cost is $750 - $1000.
Juanita looks at this opportunity as a real challenge. She is honored and believes that this is a good opportunity to learn a lot abroad and to better international understanding.
Elsie Lucore, a Macollege student, is studying in Germany this year under a similar grant from religious organizations on the campus.

Kruschwitz Uses ‘Jerry’
To Practice Ventriloquism
By Ruth Davidson
Everyone has heard of dishpan hands, but how many people have heard of gardener’s hands?
You can ask almost any of the Macollege professors, and they can tell you, for many of them are ardent gardeners.
With all of their knowledge about life and how it is maintained. the science professors, especially Dr. John Burkholder and Dr. Wesley Decoursey, are expected to be good gardeners with good results.
This year, a usual gardener,
Miss Mildred Siek, has rented her garden to Dr. DeCoursey. However, she will do gardening similar to that which Miss Edna Neher, Dotzour housemother, does — take care of her flowers.
Miss Della Lehman makes her small garden look larger by building a strawberry pyramid.
Prof. Guy Hayes takes his gardening seriously enough to try the local fairs and he sometimes walks away with prize ribbons.
Dr. Raymond Flory and Prof. Merlin Frantz mix gardening with house - building.
What used to be Gordon Yoder’s garden plot is now a home site, and the Yoders’ garden activities have been greatly curtailed.
Many faculty members find it rather hard to maintain a garden and keep up with their work and just don’t try.
One gardener in a big way is Mrs. Homer Brunk. She and her husband had enough garden last year to can over 300 jars of vegetables.
Gardeners in McPherson, as well as anywhere else, must learn about insecticides. One professor stated that there is a special insect for every kind of plant (or maybe it’s a worm). Grasshoppers are thrown in besides.
Among mentioned vegetables grown are tomatoes, potatoes peas, beans, kohlrabi, swiss chard, spinach, beets, onions, lettuce, okra, cucumbers, squash, asparagus, rhubarb, peppers.
If you see any professors out dropping potatoes this afternoon, it may be because the almanac says, "This is the day if you want a good crop."
Bowen, Roetman
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis J. Bowen, Keeline, Wyo., announce the engagement of their daughter Shirley, to Ryland Roetman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Roetman. Reading, Minn.

Whirleys Announce Son
Douglas Lavern, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Whirley, 310 N. Carrie, was born March 5 at McPherson Hospital.
He weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz. The maternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Francis McElwain, Mc-Cune, and paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Fred Whirley, McPherson.
Mrs. Whirley is a senior at McPherson College, and Bernard is a junior.
Krehbiels Have Son
Stanley Eugene Krehbiel, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Kreh biel, 431 N. Eshelman, was born Feb. 28, at McPherson Hospital. He weighed 7 lb. 14 oz. at birth.
Stanley is a junior in business administration.

Grades Due March 22

Forrest Kruschwitz. junior from Grundy Center, Iowa, has been amazing Macollege students and audiences at programs outside the college this year with his powers of ventriloquism.
His latest appearance was at the Regional Youth Conference banquet where he made a big hit with the visiting high school students.
Forrest, who is the only known ventriloquist on campus, says that he has always been fascinated by ventriloquism. About a year ago, he sent for a book on the subject and started muttering to him-
Students Lead Scouts

self.
Forrest says that he practiced even while on quartet tour, causing a few sly comments by his fellow travelers. He also learned by observing professional ventriloquists on television.
Then at the first of last summer, Forrest sent off and got "Jerry," his dummy. When asked how he came to name the dummy Jerry, Forrest replied. “Well, that’s just the name that was on the box.”
“I really enjoy doing it as long as Jerry never forgets,” says Forrest about the programs.
Other hobbies of Forrest’s include magic and dramatics. Grundy Center, la., is the home town of Forrest, who is a junior music education major.
Forrest plays the piano, has been in quartet for two years, and is currently in A Cappella Choir.
He has played the baritone horn and bass drums and is now playing the bassoon in Band and Orchestra.

The Spectator Speaks . . .
The campus is getting back this week.
to normal now after one long week beginning with Regional Youth Conference and ending with Spiritual Emphasis. The week has not passed without leaving its effects on the students.
Most noticeable are the extra snores in classes all day, not just in the 7:45 ones. The professors bend over backwards trying sly means to keep us awake, probably because they are bushed also but don't want to embarrass themselves by falling asleep.
While the students are getting their sleep, that has been the major extent of their activities
Assignments have gone by undone, beds have remained unmade, letters unanswered, term papers have been postponed while the students have devoted their time to the noble duties of attending class and chapel, sleeping, and Rook.
Of course, this activity will not go on for long because next week will be nine-week tests. After that the students will take another period of recuperation until grades are out.
For some reason, falling grades inspire students to get on the ball before the end of the semester.
Within a week or so 40 or more leading men of the city of Mc-Pherson will meet together for a steak dinner. At this time they will divide among themselves the names of some 400 or 500 of the business people, business firms, and leading citizens of McPherson.
They will then go out. each to call upon the people whom they have chosen or who will be assigned to them. They will talk about McPherson College, its progress. its continuing needs, its hopes.
They will urge the people of the city to stand back of this higher Christian educational enterprise, support, it, and help to make it a growing part of our city and area.
They will not do this because they had a steak dinner, but the steak dinner will deepen their fellowship as they discuss the work they are going to do for the college.
A few weeks ago we handed out in the chapel a number of stamped envelopes and college bulldog letter heads, asking students to write to their friends who are finishing high school to tell them about McPherson College.
We did not feel that it would be a good policy to offer financial remuneration for this, for the desire and hope was that the good feeling which we all have about our college family would make us eager to invite others to become members of the family.
If we were paid for doing this, it would spoil something of the family spirit.
However, as the public relations people sat together discussing this, they felt that a steak dinner could help to deepen the fellowship of those who are “boos-

Signs Direct Visitors To Mac
New McPherson College signs have been placed on the highways in McPherson to direct out-of-town visitors to the campus.
Two signs were put on highway 56 at Eshelman, and two were placed on the city route of 81 at Euclid.
The signs are black and white with the words McPherson College and an arrow pointing in the direction of the college.
These signs were provided by the city of McPherson and their location was determined by the officials of the city.

ters for their college.”
It was decided, therefore, to say that any student who succeeds in bringing another student to the college through his letter writing and or his personal contact, will be invited to partici-pate, next fall, in a celebrating, free steak dinner.
At that dinner we will share our experiences of solicitation, talk about our college, and make suggestions about its growth.
Some of you took as many as ten or a dozen letters. Some of you did not take any. We invite you to enter into this enterprise.
May God bless you as all of us together seek to make McPherson College ever a greater and better college.
Have you ever thought of cook-ing 1252 meals a week or washing dishes for 350 people a day? These are just some of the problems of quality that Mrs. J. F. Slifer, cafeteria manager, and the cafeteria employees face each week.
The day begins in the cafeteria at 6:30 a.m. as the cooks start breakfast. Then at 6:45 a.m. before breakfast is even served the roasts are started for the noon meal.
Baking pies is another early morning chore. After breakfast the other meats, vegetables, and the main dish for dinner are begun.
From 2-4 p.m. the cafeteria is empty. At four the cooks return to get supper ready.
In addition to the regular cooks, students work in the kitchen during meals serving food, running errands, doing dishes, and cleaning up.
Mrs. Slifer also has the job of having an acceptable variety of foods. In comparing the McPherson College cafeteria with KU, the variety is almost the same.
In quantity, the amount of food used in a week seems large to one accustomed to cooking for an average family.
The college students eat 60
pounds of roast beef, 40 pounds each of roast pork and hamburger, 30 pounds of steak, and 250 pounds of potatoes.
The diswashers use 1,100 pounds of soap a year.
Never believe the impossible. Never regret the past Do not long for the unattainable.
Kendall To Go Into Ministry
Lee Kendall, chief engineer and associate superintendent of grounds of McPherson College, will terminate this position at the end of the summer school term.
His present plans are to go into the active ministry again. When Mr. Kendall and his family first came to McPherson almost five years ago, he served as pastor of the Newton Church of the Brethren. He retired as pastor two years ago.
Since coming to McPherson, Mr. Kendall has averaged five hours of class work per semester outside his regular campus position.
Mr. Kendall will not announce definite plans until a later date.
