SECOND TEAM DEBATERS DIVIDE HONORS WITH

HUTCHINSON COLLEGE

Thurs., Feb. 27--The McPherson college second team debaters divided honors with the Hutchinson Junior college, the affirmative team winning here and the negative team losing at Hutchinson today. The affirmative team composed of Lilburn Gottman and Kermit Hayes, won here Tuesday evening, defeating Jess King and Robert Schermerhorn of Hutchinson In accordance with the decision of the critical Judge. W. A. Sterba of Newton.

In his criticism of the debate Mr. Sterba said that it certainly was too bad that a larger crowd could not have heard such a very good debate on a question so vital as one concern-ing complete disarmament.

Mr. Sterba gave his decision to the negative on the basis of their propos-ed plan for complete disarmament, which he said was well stated and well thought out.

The College negative team, Guy Hayes and William Grant, met the Hutchinson negative at Hutchinson at ten o'clock this morning, but failed to receive the decision of the critic Judge, who is debate coach of Sterling college.

"SWEDE" GAME MARCH 7

High School Debate Tournament. Was Changed To Sterling Instead Of Having It Here

The latest reports from the Wes-leyan hospital In Wichita as to the condition of Harold Crist, who was recently stricken with epidemic spinal meningitis, state that ”he is improving” and that his improvement is satisfactory*.

One of the reasons that the dread-ed disease Is affecting Crist as bad as It Is, Is the fact that his physical condition before contracting the dls-ease was not as good as it should have been. Only about two weeks ago he recovered from the flu and a number of boils that sapped his vitality. Crist's parents are with him, his father taking care of him at times to give the nurses a needed rest.

The city health officers placed a quarantine upon sixteen students the latter part of last week and the first three days of this week, ending to-night at 6:30. The students are not allowed to attend classes, chapel as-memblies, or go In the library or down town. Special tables are reserved for them after the others have eaten. Those who are quarantined and who will be frce at 6:30 if none of them contract the disease are Ruth Trostle, Beth Hess, Alma Rhoda-baugh, Glen Harris, Emery Metzger, Wray Whiteneck, Otho Whiteneck, Newell Wine, Paul Bowers, Leland Lindell, Ernest Betts, Vernon Spill-man, Irvan Deschner, Kermit Hayes, Walter Fillmore and Eber Tice, These students are thonght to have had the last and closest contacts with Crist before he was stricken.

Because of the scare created by the meningitis case the tenth district high school debate tournament was held at Sterling college Saturday, March 1, instead of here as previous-ly announced. Health officers deemed it advisable to have it at Sterling.

The Bethany-McPherson basketball game will be played Friday night, March 7, and the Kansas Wes-leyan game the following night, although the dates are not certain.

MOHLER MAKING PLANS

Mon., Feb. 14—The program of the Cecilian music club was given by the Junior Cecilian music club here tonight under the direction of Miss Fern Lingenfelter. It consisted of a piano duet, two piano solos, and a reading. Junior Rolander played four church hymns which he will play at the state Junior Cecilian music club contest March 12.

The next meeting will be on March 10 and will be a program dealing with operas. The Mikado In particu-lar will be discussed as It is to be presented March 18.

When I say shuffle along mortal toll I do not mean it is a terpsichorean sense at all. Merely moralizing that's all. Even clowns laugh and so why can’t feature writers have off moments In which they may indulge their yearnings for dramatic interlude and what haveyou?

We amble along the path of life or perhaps the path of least resistance and take what comes or it takes us, never trying to strive for a higher plane. Why do people be satisfied with the mediocre things of life when by a small bit of well effort we could achieve something really worth while.

But a tawdry bit of amusement will satisfy the general class of people when so many things could be had by just the taking that would be good for our mental lives and be a future rich memory. Have experiences, but select experiences that will help you along in your chosen career. Experiences don't just happen. They can be picked just like strawberries and with much less effort.

It is considered smart and cosmopolitan to be so-

phisticated but to be a real sophist takes cleverness, ingenuity, and a discernment that few young people have. One cannot be really sophisticated until he has had travel, education, and experience enough to see life's situations from every angle besides the personal one.

The ordinary so-called sophist is just a person with a hard boiled skin apparently but usually is not so hard boiled at that. Most of modern sophistry Is Just a cheap cynicism, which is derived from a narrow view point and little real experience in life.

College can be either a place to acquire a real viewpoint or the opposite. Most collegiates take the Ideas of other people that have already been polished and primed to meet the world and If they fail to fit the situation, then a howl is raised. Ideas are free and all you have to do to get one is to think a trifle. Thinking never breaks down brain cells but in activity does, so that’s that.

Yours til Deogenes puts me out of my philosophic trance.—Sea-See.

The following letter was sent

President Herbert Hoover in light of the fact that the World Naval Dis-armament conference is meeting In London, expressing the sentiment of both the faculty and student body. A committee for the students and fac-culty of the College composed of Prof. Ray Petry and John Lehman Is the author of the letter.

Honorable Herbert Hoover,

President of United States, Washington, D. C.

Dear Mr. President:

Civilized peoples recognize the eco-nomic waste, the social destructive-ness, and the international barbarism of war. Leading nations have heartily endorsed the Kellogg Peace Pact as a prosressive movement toward the elirnination of warfare In the settle-ment of international disputes. The enormous expenditures under the present competitive system call for immediate and decisive steps in the actual reduction of armaments. Fur-thermore, competitive armaments are a violation of the spirit of the Pact; contribute to a sense of false secur-ity, and constitute In themselves a cause of War.

In keeping with the spirit of the Kellogg Peace Pact the United States should Initiate a definite program of reduction. This program should replace the present negotiations for mere limilation, at the London Naval Conference.

As represent ives of a church and college which denounce war and the futility of armaments, we hereby resolve;

1, That the United States propose the extensive reduction of battleships

THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF THE "Y'S”

The local Young Men's Christian Association and the Young Women's Christian Association is to be commended upon the part they have played in securing such speakers that are recognized throughout the United States as leaders in the student Christian movement. It is through the efforts of the leaders of these organizations, who have realized the value of bringing such personages before the students, that men and women of mature age whose experiences are such to warrant their transmition to us the problems of today. The men they have secured speak not In a manner of easing the acquirements of life's problems but In such a way as to give us a complete understanding of the problems of life's attainments before we come against them.

Can a man or woman, whose heart Is still yound and Inexperienced, listen to men of knowledge and accomplishments, men who have faced the problems of life many folds, and not realize some good for their future selves in their relations to others? The Christian World Educational In-stitute, brought here through the efforts of both "Y" organizations, is an opportunity no student can fail to let pass and still feel the desires of Christian thought prevailing In his mind. The thoughts of Norman Thomas, who himself has faced the trials of defeat in face of his own convictions, of Clark Eichelberger, of Frank Wilson, and a host of others, will generate Christian thinking to such a degree never before seen upon the McPherson campus at one time.

Waiting For Ships That Never Come In—Worry Wart Wagoner,

One hundred forty-one yearS ago today. March 4, 1789, the constitution of the United States became the governing statute of the people of the original thirteen colonies.

Liko everything that Is good, that Is A success, that is recognized as the last word, the constitution of the thirteen colonies has met all the trials and tests of a new government. It has withstood the abuses of con-tempt. It was a complaisant document. It was recognized as a means to an end. Although tossed upon the sea of International relations it has survived the threatening waves of foreign invasion and reched its arms still further to acquire territory In foreign waters.

Today the toils and labors of the thirteen original colonies is the pride, hope and admiration of the forty-eight states. The United States is admired by all the world as the powerful nation. in 1917 and 1918 we sent millions of men to France to win the "war to end war". Today we have sent but a small group of diplomats to London to win the peace of the world. If naval reduction is to become a reality then the United States is to disarm first. If the constitution is to live with the intentions set forth therein by the forefathers of the nation then it is the responsibility of the United Status of America to assure the peace of the world, and to keep the labors of the thirteen the pride of the forty-eight.

JOHNSON SAYS CHINESE

THINK WHILE WE RIDE

Tues., Feb. 26—The Chinese peo-ple think while we are out car riding, was a part of the message of the rev-erend A. J. Johnson, pastor of the Swedish Mision Church of Mc-Pherson. He spoke on China's Chal-lenges to the Youth of today in Y. M.

Mr. Johnson says there are two things which form a basis for challenge. First there must be common interests and common experiences. If this is not so; if there is no thinking together China cannot challenge us. In the socond place there can be no challenge if our common interests are being forwarded by present conditions. But we do have common interests and present conditions do not forward them as rapidly as possible. Therefore China can challenge us.

Mr. Johnson has spent six years as a missionary in China where he has observed a few of the conditions existing there. He says that foreigners have treated China badly but they are not to blame entirely for existing conditions.

China challenges our imagination. Even her population can be numbered only in imagination. Her antiquity challenges the Imagination.

China challenges our reservation. She wants to know why the foreign-ers have concessions in China over which her government has no control. We may be benefiting the Chi-nese by our industrial methods but she certainly doesn't pray for fac-tories or for cars. China us a land of thinkers and not of automobile driv-ers.

China challenges our Christianity. She is a challenge in that she pre-sents a large field In which we may work. They accept the gospel. There has never been a general uprising

against the gospel in China even though there have been many revolu-tions for other purposes.

DON'TS FOR SPEAKERS

The following Don’ts for Rotary club speakers were published in a recent issue of the "'Rotograph", the weekly publication of the Rotary Club of Fort Worth, Texas, and any apply to almost anybody making a speech.

Don't write your remarks on paper. Write them on stiff cards that won't crackle.

Don’t begin with an apology. It does not disarm criticism; it awakens it.

Don't mention the shortness of the time allotted to you. That wastes it.

Don’t say that you looked in the dictionary to find the exact meaning of your topic.

Don’t refer to what you said on a former occasion or to what you are going to say after a while. Keep the minds of your audience on the present moment.

Don’t drop your voice at the end of a sentence. Don't lose your place if you should happen to be applauded.

Be logical. Be concise. Think a few thoughts of your own and present them simply, naturally and earnestly.

Don't tell on what corner of the street you met the Program Chair-man when he asked you to make a talk nor what day of the week it was.

Don't talk longer than your allotted time, the gong may sound or else your audience may walk out on you. Don't tell them one about having a fine speech all written out. but you left it on the dresser, or that the pup chewed it up, or that you left it in the pocket of your other suit when you dressed for luncheon.

TOO SELF COMPLACENT

SAYS BILL BRAISTED

Thurs. Feb. 27—Bill Braisted, Y. M. secretary of Omaha, spoke to the student body in chapel at ten o'clock this morning. He tried to destroy a little of our aelf-cnniplarenry by telling us of conditions among students in other lands.

In Korea there are 17,000 students in Jail because they oppose Japanese domination. In China there is famine and lack of money with which to go to school. In India many obstacles must be overcome in getting an edu-cation. In Africa there are millions eager to get an education but they are unable to do so. Spanish students recently started a disturbance be-cause their leader protested against the dictator, in Bulgaria many stu-dents live on less than eleven dollars r month and some have as low a six dollars. Many are dying of tuber-culosis.

In the United Stales the students live In comparative luxury. In a gen-eral way they should be Interested In social problems: international affairs, racial problems, personal friendships, industrial problems, Specific things we may do—be-come informed, get a Christian attitude on the campus, become leaders when off the campus, and try hard to better conditions in one area of human endeavor.

HISTORY MAJORS LEADING IN THE RANKS OF K. U. FELLOWSHIPS FROM McPHERSON COLLEGE

Survey Of K. U. Fellowship Students From M. C. Shows That Most Of Them Are Now Teaching In The Subject In Which They Majored

It is customary for the faculty to elect each rear what Is known as

the honor student of the College. This honor is based mainly upon scholar-ship but also includes extra-curricular activities, not the number of activ-ities but the manner in which the student handles them and the attitude he acquires in his relation with his fellow students. As a reward for re-ceiving such an honor entitles the student to a fellowship to the University of Kansas, valued at four hundred dollars.

Dean R. E. Mohler, who has been connected with the College since 1914, has kept a complete record of students receiving the title as honor student and receiving the K. U. fellowship. In reviewing his records we list the following students with their present occupations:

it is pleasant to think just under the snow,

That stretches so bleak and blank and cold. >

Are beauty and warmth that we can-not know,

Green fields and leaves, and blos-

soms of gold.--Hempstead.

We need an education that makes life worth living as well as an educa-tion that helps is to make a living.

secretary of Fellowship of Reconcill-ation. He was, for a time, editor of the World Tomorrow, and later as-sociate editor of The Nation. In 1923 he accepted the editorship of the New York Leader, one of the out-standing socialist publications.

His unusual ability as a speaker has made Norman Thomas a leader In the Socialist party. In 1928 he was a candidate for presidcnt on the socialist ticket. He has been prominent In political affairs in New York and recently was a candidate for Mayor of New York City.

Norman Thomas is, without a doubt. a leader In American thought. An article written by McAlistler Cole-man and published In The Nation for August 8, 1928 sais pf him: "He re-hread, peace and freedom for all people. Whether his speech or pamphlet or statement to the press begins with

a discussion of the intricacies of municipal government, to which he brings expert knowledge, or a headlong attack upon the corruption of both old parties, or the deep damnation of imperialism he generally con-cludes with a compelling plea for a peaceful world”.

On Friday, February 25, Mr. Thomas spoke three times on the campus of the University of Kansas. Previous to his coming, Chancellor Lindley of the University said, "Mr. Thomas is one of the most forceful mains an intermationalist, passionate-ly following the poignant dream of and eloquent speakers in America on social, economic and international problems. He is a national figure, un-usually equipped to speak on these important questions.

Mr. Thomas will speak at the

Wilson, execu-tive Negro student secretary for the United States and one of the six American delegates to the World student Christian Federation meetings held last year in India. One of the woman leaders is Miss Margaret

Read, Englishwoman, visiting col-leges under the joint auspices of the Council of Christian Asociations and the Episcopal Church. Another of the woman leaders Is Miss Lucille F. Day whose experience in the teaching field in Armenia has brought about many strange and interesting experi-ences.

Clark Eichelberger will speak to the college church at 3 p.m., Thurs-day. March 6th Frank C. Wilson will be the main speaker at the Frank Wilson luncheon at 5:30 p. m., March 6th, in the college dining hall.

K.I.A.C. BASKETBALL STANDINGS

Last week saw no changes in the relative line-up and graduation of the Kansas conference teams, except that Baker broke Into the win column, by virtue of their victory over their age long enemies, the Ottawans. McPherson had to postpone both her games last week on account of the illness of one of her students with what seemed to be epidemic meningitis, consequently the championship game was not played. The Bulldogs will not schedule those games until after Tuesday when the quarantine will be lifted. But It is almost certain that the Bulldog-Swede game will be played Friday night, March 7th, with a strong likelihood of the Kansas Wes-leyan game on Saturday night.

THE DOPE BUCKET

An outbreak of serious illnesswithin the Bulldog camp saved the day for the Swedes, or rather it sav-ed them from losing their grip on the Kansas conference title for at least ten days.

The Swede game will be played on Friday night, March 7th If nothing serious happens. Another out break of meningitis might prolong the cham-pionship game Indefinitely. The Kan-sas Wesleyan game will likely be played the night following the Swede game.

I has been two weeks since the Bulldogs played a game and it will be a few more days until they have to play one. This long rest may be just what they need to give the Swedes a good sound trouncing "a la Bulldog".

A long real will either cause the BullDogs to play championship bas-ketball Friday night, or it will make them so stale that they will play worse than St. Mary’s did.

Thu Swedes beat St. Mary's 34 to 5 last Friday. Very unethical, it seems. It looks as if Carlson were afraid to use his subs. That is our Idea of high school stuff. Just because the Swedes can beat a team Is no sign they need to rub it in.

ON FINAL REHEARSALS
