‘Oliver Twist’

To Be Shown

"Oliver Twist," a magnificent Universal International production, will be shown in the Chapel on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Robert Newton, Alec Guinness. Kay Walsh, and Francis L. Sullivan star in this 109 minute celebrated international film classic.

This is the last movie in the series presented by the Social Committee for this school year.

Rev. Bob Richards, known as the “pole - vaulting parson,” has been secured as the guest speaker for the 1958 Regional Youth Conference and the Spiritual Emphasis Week.

Once when Rev. Richards was trying for the 15 feet mark, he thought he had made it for sure; then an announcement came that an error in the measuring had been made.

The official measure was 14 feet 11^1/2 inches. When the news reached Bob, he is quoted as saying, "Fifteen feet became a thing I had to do."

The "vaulting parson" is the second man in history to vault 15 feet or more. In January, 1957, Bob was one of ten men between the ages of 21-35 to receive an award from the Junior Chamber of Commerce for outstanding contributions to their professions and dedication to the general welfare.

At the top of the petition must appear the signature of the person running for office and the position for which he is running. To be in the final stretch of the election, the signatures of 50 regularly enrolled students (those with twelve or more hours) must appear on the petition. A nominee must also carry at least twelve hours at McPherson College.

Elections in April Elections for the president and the treasurer of Student Council, MCA steering committee, cheerleaders, and Student Court representatives will be held during the chapel period on Tuesday, April 9.

Candidates for president of the Student Council and of the student body must be a member of next year’s senior class. The treasurer must be selected from next year's junior class.

One student council member carries over each year from each class, which decides whether the boy or the girl representative will remain on the council, then elects another boy or girl, as the case may be.

For Student Court, each class nominates two more than their present number, who remain on the court. The number allowed on the court are five seniors, four juniors, three sophomores, and one faculty representative.

Chairman for the Student Court must be a senior with at least one year’s experience on the Court. He and the secretary are elected by the members, who have been elected by the student body.

Anyone other than nominees may run for Student Court by securing a petition with the signatures of fifty regularly enrolled McPherson College students.

MCA Committee

A nominating committe was set up for MCA and will present its nominees for next year's MCA steering committee to be voted upon by the entire student body.

Cheerleaders must have petitions similar to the ones that are used by Student Council president and Treasurer nominees. Try-outs will be held prior to the voting.

Students should feel that the positions to be filled have definite responsibilities. Serious thought should be given to nominees and

their qualifications for these responsibilities carefully studied.

Student Council Duties Student Council directly administers the Spec., the Quad., and the student handbook, the Growl. It directs income from the student activity fee; awards recognition of achievements in extra-curricular participation; determines and relays student opinion to faculty, administrators and the Board of Trustees when it is necessary.

Prior to the 1955 election of a Student Council president and treasurer, on entire day was taken for the election and students voted at polls which the election committee had set up. In 1955, the election was held during the chapel period.

Extra - Curricular One more election will be held. That is for the extra curricular activities' representatives to the Student Council. Sometime between April 15 and May 1, the presidents of all extra curricular organizations will meet with the Student Council president and they will nominate two boys and two girls from the student body.

Between May 1 and May 15, each extra curricular organization will vote on these four. Each organization gets two votes, one for one boy, and one for a girl.

member having heard Rev. Richards at the National Youth Conference in Anderson, Ind., in 1954. Bob also gave a pole-vaulting exhibition at Anderson.

All during the time which he spent in sports, Rev. Richards gave much of his energy to evangelistic meetings. "He is a deeply consecrated Christian who believes that Christianity can work on the field of sports as well as on the playing field of life."

Macollege feels fortunate in having secured Rev. Richards as a 1958 speaker on campus.

Kansas Governor Harry H. Woodring was the featured speaker. Because of weather conditions, he was stranded in Larned. In order to get Gov. Woodring here, the college chartered a special train — the caboose of a freight train.

During the war years, Booster Banquet dwindled to a reception.

Versailles

One day we spent in Versailles and Chartres. We went through the castle of Louis XIV in Versailles. It is really a fabulous thing, with all its tapestries and its myths painted on the ceiling. We went through the gardens and saw the toy village of the queen.

The stained glass windows of the cathedral in Chartres are really awesome. There are the three huge windows of roses and the color is fabulous.

I have never in my life seen such colors. The blue is terrific! The secret for the color is lost. This loss seems too bad, but perhaps it is good; otherwise it would become a common sight instead of a rarity.

In Louvre

We spent two days In the Louvre, where one coaid spend months. It is really a paradise with everything conceivable. We also spent some time in Palais Chaillot in the Museum of Man which was also fascinating. Sincerely,

Elsie

(Editor’s Note: Elsie Lucore, Macollege student who is an ex changee to Germany, has written another letter to the college.) Dear gang,

The first of February we took a two-day trip to Bonn for a sort of political seminar and visited their Senate and Congress and talked with various important people. We received a general overall picture of the government and how it works.

One weekend I attended a professional and academical confer-ence at which I had to give a speech again.

We had our mid-Winter Spiritual Retreat in Kassel Feb. 15-20. It was good to see all the kids from Mac again and especially good to speak English again.

The first day was a heifer distribution at which the 3000th heifer Miss Hope, was distributed.

Clara Zunkel, Vernon Scott, Kelly Day. and all send their greetings. Kelly showed us his slides which he had taken and it was good to see what good old Mac looks like.

I visited recently at the Pam-berg home. Gary is at Swarth-more College, Swarthmore, Pa.

March 2, after the official end of the semester, we took a trip to Paris. We were a group of 47 students and were there for six days. I think we shortened our legs two inches running all over trying to see everything, but it was worth it.

We began with a tour of the city in order that we would have an idea of where everything was.

Then we went to Notre Dame. Sainte Chapelle, the Bird Market, which is on weekdays a flower market, and the famous Flea Market. Everything possible is for sale there.

The Monmartre was a fascinating place with all the artists standing around drawing. If you felt extravagant, you could have one of them paint your picture

Earlier in the year Dr. Bit-tinger met with the CBYF and told them of several projects which they might like to adopt. He told of the tremendous need of busses at the Falfurias project where his son, Stanley, is now living and preaching.

Pondering With The President . . .

Parents’ Night

A new experiment is being tried • at McPherson College.

The suggestion for it came from parents of some of you who are in school.

The time of the experiment is 7:30 Wednesday. March 27.

It is called "Parents’ Night."

Some parents of our college students who live in McPherson County, McPherson City, and nearby towns told us that you come home and speak of Dr. Hess, the Chemistry Lecture Room. Miss Siek, Raymond Flory, the SUR, the Dog House, the Chapel. Miss Lehman.

They do not know where these people work or where these places are. They feel they could be more understanding of what is going on at the college if they actually knew these people and these places.

Accordingly, the college faculty discussed this and decided that it would be good to have a parents' night and to invite your parents to come to the college, see the faculty, visit their offices, and look over the areas where college work is done.

When a count was made of the parents and students near at hand, behold, it was discovered that more than 200 parents and students could be involved in a Parents’ Night.

A letter was sent inviting them, and plans have been made to have them here at the college next week.

There will be a brief program in the chapel, setting forth something of the college and its work.

Then the students will be free to Lake their parents around the campus, showing them the work areas and introducing them to the people.
