Student Council Selects Business Managers For 1939-40 Publications

Raymond "Dutch" Goering and 8 G. Hoover were selected as business managers of the 1939-40 Spectator and Quadrangle by the Student Council in a meeting Wednesday evening.

A junior next year, Goering will be business manager of the 1939-40 Spectator while Hoover, who will be a sophomore, will fill a corresponding position on the Quadrangle staff.

Both business managers won out over a field of applicants that were well-qualified for the positions.

It is significant that both of the selected business managers, are underclassmen as are 1939-40, Quad Editor Raymond Coppedge and Spec Editor Dale Stucky, who were select-ed by the council two weeks ago.

Coppedge and Hoover will Immediately begin to interview representatives from engraving companies to determine the engravers for the 1939-40 yearbook.

The retiring business executives for the Quad and the Spec are Russel Kingsley and Dean Frantz.

Bower Finally Reveals

After being threatened with a cat-o'-nine-tails and a horrible death, Gordon Bower, Quad editor, finally divulged some facts about the Quad Queens.

Just as he was passing out, Bower said "There are five of them. One of them is "tops", according to Bing Crosby." Even after further coercion, he would not divulge their identity, but did say that they were selected from twenty pictures which had been sent in at the suggestion of a student-faculty committee.

Applied Psychology Class Takes Tests

Shockley Gives Students

Chance To Find Aptitudes

Applied psychology students have become more enlightened about themselves these last nine weeks. Miss Ida Shockley, instructor, is eager that this course be practical and of vocational value to the student. In order to meet this purpose, she has given a number of psychological tests.

The first of these was the Army Alpha Intellectual Examination in which the members of the class found that they are college material, the scores ranged from 113-136. Most authorities state that a college student should have an I. Q. of at least 115. It was interesting to note that there was close correlation between the Army Alpha scores and the scores on the Freshmen Intelligence Test.

Ascendant and submissive traits were measured by another test while the Nebraska Personality Inventory measured extrovert and introvert qualities, emotioanlly, and traits of masculinity. These personality tests are helpful in choosing a vocation because some occupations such as a business executive calls for a person with extrovert qualities, while an introvert office clerk may be more efficient than one who is an extrovert. Strong's Vocational Interest test has been the one most directly relating to vocations. The last test taken by the applied psychology students consisted of public opinion questions on such subjects as Socialism and Religion.

Audrey Hammann, Maurine And-erson, Steven Stover, and Raymond Coppedge represented the local Methodist Church at a young people's meeting in Kansas City, Missouri, last week-end. This meeting was a part of the conference being held to unite the Methodist churches of America.

Last Heaston Formal Party Was Held Saturday

The lovely Heaston home was enjoyed by a group of students last Saturday evening, when the last of a series of formal parties was held. Phil Myers and Rosalie Fields were the host and hostess. The evening was delightfully spent in playing progressive parlor games. Mrs. W. C. Heaston assisted in serving delicious refreshments.

Collage students who have attended these affairs have often expressed their appreciation for the gracious generosity of Mr, and Mrs. Heaston to allowing the use of their beautiful home and for their kind hospitality to the students.

Gordon Yoder returned from the choir trip complaining of a stiff neck and a sore arm!

One-Third Rhodes Scholars Come From Small Colleges

While only about one-tenth of all American college and University stu-dents attend institutions with an en-rollment of 1000 or fewer, approxi-mately one-third of the American Rhodes Scholars have come from this group.

This Information, received by Dean J. D. Bright from the American sec-retary of the Rhodes Scholarship committee, shows the importance of small colleges such as McPherson in

developing scholars.

Commenting on these facts, the secretary, Frank Aydelotte, said. "It is a remarkable fact that small col-leges have produced proportionally

more Rhodes Scholars than large uni-versities.

Lovely centerpieces of various garden flow-ers provided the only decorations. Small place-cards directed bewilder-ed, guests to correct places.

All EARS-

This column is the ears of the Spectator. It hears whispers and shouts and welcomes them as long as it knows their source. It is a prolific gossp and repeats almost everything it hears.

To the editor:

"Historical events do not happen

in a vacuum." The lady's under-wear that appeared with dramatic suddenness in chapel this morning had contributing factors. The admin-istration should dismount from its high-horse and recognize it as a symptom of a bad system, rather than an entity in itself.

Any system that forces students to spend thiry-five minutes listening to poorly-prepared speeches de-livered in a mediocre style with worn-out phraseology upon ill-chosen and oft times valueless subjects is at best highly unsatisfactory. And any system against which criticism and practical suggestion are not al-lowcd is inconsistent with American ideals and the professional ideals of the "school of quality".

If decent programs cannot be arranged three times each week, why have that many chapels? For who wants to cultivate habits of inattention, dilution of thought, and indif-erence for the mere cultivation or relationships, solely diplomatic, with allied organizations. Our faculty and student religious organizations are highly capable of developing.

well-ordered spiitual lives without the hackneyed evangelizing of many outside speakers. A student's time is valuable. Worthwhile chapel programs must be supplied if compul-sory attendance is to be justified.

To the editor:

May I use the Spectator as a means of distributing a notice of vital importance to college students? Here it is, in the form of a letter.

Dear, dear, McPherson College Boys:

Because there are several things I should like to talk with you about, and because it is impossible to heard you into a mass meeting, may I tip you off in this manner on how to be a real man?

First, your class work! It is beginning to be deplorably draggy of late? Howse about those times you closed your book five minutes, even six and a half one day, before the whistle blew? If you are among these undesirables, just get hold of yourself; ask that guy you see before the mirror each morning, "Watsa matter, back-slider?"

I've noticed these beauteous moonlit nights that many are using study hours for courtin' purposes—naughty, naughty! The college administration would like you to use your weekly recreation hour for that purpose, unless, of course, you couldn't get quite all your studying done in the other eighty-four hours.

"To have a "close-up" of ourselves" —What an eye-full that would be! Especially you who have already. cookie Don't you realize that hold-ing hands in public is considered poor taste? And that other stu-dents, especially those who don't have anyone’s hand to hold, faculty members, visitors, town people, in fact just everybody in the whole world who has time and opportunity to spy on you is embarassed by your boldness. Will you please park on a country road at night to show your affection? Thank you!

And now just one more grave and serious item. I have been getting calls on an average of one every ten days for a week, often by the same person too, calling to my attention the fact that you have been pitching horse shoes in shorts! ! ! tsk! tsk! Wear pajamas or roll your pants legs up one turn and a half on the street and tennis court.

Very, very sincerely,

Myers Announces Success Of Plan To Secure Refugee Non-Aryan

Haven for a refugee non-Aryan stu-

dent next year will be Macampu, according to the opinions of leaders of the drive for funds to make the plan possible.

Phil Myers, chairman of student-faculty solicitations, has reported that $120 have already been raised in cah on the campus, inspite of a dire spring slump in the student finan-ces.

It is hoped that his amount can be raised to $150 within the next few days. Several students who have not paid cash to the solicitors, have indicated their intentions to contribute to the campaign. Myers urges that any student who has not supported the drive and wishes to do so act Immediately.

As the student dtive is being completed, the drive among service clubs in the community is gaining momentum. Luther Harshabrger, general chairman of the movement, says that he believes the success of the plan is assured.

To teach or not to teach, that is the question. The Placement Bur-eau of McPherson College under the direction of Prof. Mohler is working full time trying to place the many school teachers created by Dr. Boit-nott in the department of education. To date, the Bureau has 14 paid members and has been notified of 75 vacancies. Good going, Prof. Moh-ler, more than two positions for every teacher! Lead us to them. Pro-fessors nad influential home town friends have been writing recommen-dations and Rilla Hubbard has kept busy typing them. She is learning some good things about us which we didn't know ourselves. Inquiries concerning teachers to fill vacancies are coming in almost every day. Some have already been employed.

Globe-Trotter Tells Of World Trip

Robert Rooz, Former Student, Says

He Took Pictures of Hitler.

Robert Booz, a resident of McPher-son and a former student of McPherson college, in a talk before the S. C. M. Tuesday told of his experiences while he was traveling around the world.

Mr. Rooz's first stop was in Glas-glow, Scotland and from there he

continued through London, to France, Belgium, Holland and Sweden. Mr. Booz was particularly inter-ested in visiting Germany, and he ar-rived there the day before the Munich Pact. He witnessed Hiller's triumphal return from Munich, and even was successful in taking a kodak picture of him.

After a three month's stay in Switzerland, Mr. Booz and his companion, Franklin Hiebert, another former student, proceeded to Italy and then to Hungary. They were disappointed in Italy because it was seemingly a filthy country. However in Budapest, Hungary, he found as gay a city as Paris.

The tomb of Lenin Mr. Boos renumbered most in Russia. Manchuria he found to be a wildest country he visited. There could be seen continual fighting not only between the Japanese and the Chinese but between the Chinese natives. Korea was well-regulated, and showed the effect Japan has had upon it.

In Tokyo Mr. Booz was entertain-ed by the family of a Japanese stu-dent who formerly attended McPher-son college.

The program was finished by de-votions read by Virginia Harris, followed by a trio composed of Lucille Wade, Virginia Kerlin and Edna Kesler.

Ye men with wives and sweethearts in far-off schools, weep not. Hunt for papers of other schools in the English reading room of the library. If you cannot find it, there is a chance that through some patient urging on your part the Spectator may add that school to its list of exchanges.

It would not do to report the names of the people who have read these exchanges with starry eyes. Faculty members have been known to spend happy hours browsing through the paper of the ole’ home town.

and reserved, generous with her smiles, she is the genuine sort of a person you wish you knew better.

She has been in the Chemistry Club fours years, and is majoring in chemistry and biology. From many applicants, Asta has been one of the thirty in the U. S. selected as eli-gible to attend the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Cleveland, Ohio, next year.

She has served on the Student Council, Women's Council and is on the Spec. staff. Asta is a Young Republican.

I dare say that Harold Larsen is one of the funniest seniors I know. Perhaps his ability to make people laugh i due in part to his dramatic ability or visa versa. He has been in the Thespian Club all four years: this years he is president.

Larsen is important for his Spec-tator work having been editor of that organ for two years and sports editor one year. He plays tennis, and has been a member of the "M" Club for three years. His enthusi-astic support of sports is further manifested by his four-year membership in the Pep Club, and by his serving as cheerleader.

When a freshman he belonged to the Forensic Club. For three years a member of the S. C. M. this year he is on the cabinet.

Larsen is majoring in history and political science.

Evelyn Herr belongs to that class

Freshman and sophomores are planning a joint picnic to be held Saturday, a week from tomorrow night.

It is generally believed that this date was chosen to avert any pilfering each as occured last years when a group of upperclassmen went Jesse James and feasted on freshmen wieners. It can't happen again—or can it—because the upperclassmen all banquet the same night.

The place has not been decided and will not be soon revealed for ob-vious reasons, but Autumn Fields, whose Buick is indispensable for the success of any picnic, or any pict,

translation of the first four books of the New Testament, which was pub-lished in Bremen in 1735; a Martin Luther translation, in German, which was published in Philadelphia in 1829: a Luther Bible which was brought from Germany in 1838, and an Alexander Campbell Testament published in 1860.

In addition to the sore and yellow-ed pages and battered covers of these ancient Bibles, there are also newspapers and other books. "The life and Essays of Dr. Benjamin Franklin, a little volume by Franklin which was published in 1825, a "Life of George Washington" and his obituary in a duplicate of an "Ulster County Gazette", are relics of these great men. There are also copies of the Washington "Daily Morning Chronicle" which give descriptions of the funeral of Abraham Lincoln, and a replica of Volume l Number 1 of the "New York Sun" which was or-iginally published in 1833.

of Individuals who, when you think of one, you think of them both. Evelyn majored in English but has a minor in home economics.

She has rounded out her education with athletics and music, having been a member of the W. A. A. all four years, and singing in the Chor-al Club last year.

Evelyn is a Young Republican.

Gordon Yoder, blonde and hand-some, is outstanding for his work in the field of music. He has been a member of the A Cappella all four years: this year hs is its president. He has been a member of the mixed quartet and the varsity male quar-tet the last two years.

When a freshman he was president of his class. He has participated in Basketball and Tennis. Each year he has been active in the Pep Club and S. C. M. He has served on the Stuent Council, Recreational Council, and on the Student Social

Committee.

Gordon is a commerce major.

Richard Horn, lean, lanky, ever-smiling chemistry assistant who never seems too busy to leave his own work to turn to someone's res-cue. He is majoring in chemistry and has definite plans for continuing in the field.

Richard has been a member of S. C. M.; he is a jovial familiar figure in the art department, having made many paintings.

On the side he plays ping pong and basketball; this year he was a high point man in the Men's Intramural basketball tournament.

Wilbur Stern - a shoe salesmen, who lives at the "Igloo" (Fries' house). He has said that his pastime is "being unconventional", as is evidenced by his colorful clothes.

He has more majors than any other member of this year's senior class. They are chemistry, biologi-cal science and Education. His hopes for the future lie in the field of medicine.

Each at the four years he has been a member of the Chemistry Club and S. C. M. This year he is a member of the Pep Club, Thespian Club and a Young Republican.

Orville Beehler — an Idaho fellow with the wine jacket and round eyes who strolls along with a nonchalant air. Last year he sang in the Choral Club, this year in the A Cappella. For two years he has been a member of the Chemistry Club, World Service Cabinet, and Recreational

has states that although the place has not been decided, "It's bound to be good if it's in Kansas".

The food will be good old picnic grub, templing and easily handled in retreat. It will be parked in a box marked "perishables", so it may be easily identified.

The time will be four o'clock Phil Myers, "Dutch" Goering, "Doc" Charboneau, "Don" Miller, "Blue" Keck, and others who figured in the famous Swipe-the-grub gang could not be reached for statements as the paper went to press. It is reported that they were in a hide-out plotting another-free-feast.

"The Works of Flavius Josephus" is not the least interesting of the old books. Josephus was a Jewish historian of Christ's time. The book is a secular history of the Jews up to the time of Christ. It was printed in 1834.

And last, there is an 1833 edition of "The Book of Martyrs. A History of the Lives, Sufferings, and Triumphant Deaths of the primitive as well as Protestant Martyrs". This delectable source of Sunday afternoon mental and moral improvement is complete with engravings of the suffering saints. It was written by Rev. John Fox.

This interesting collection is the pride of Miss Heckethorn, head li-brarian. The generous gifts of friends of the college have made this Nucleus of a collection possible. It is the librarian's hope that someday the library will surpass the museum in this line.

Council. Every year he has sung in the college church choir.

Beehler is majoring in industrial arts, he is an assistant in that de-partment, does wood carving, and knows more about woods than you might guess.

Uncle Frank Is Busy

"Uncle Frnak" Forney and and his helpers have done much this spring to make the campus more beautiful. Nature will out-do itself after seeing how in-dustriously sod has been spaded, trees have been planted, and old trees trimmed.

Crowning idea was to put a clump of bushes at the termination of the "dead-end" walk between the library and the dorms, so that students would turn the corner rather than walk across the lawn.

Elect Voshell Track Captain

Guy Kayes Speaks At M Club Banquet,

Big Social Affair.

When Dr. Claude R. Flory acts as toastmaster, Dr Bright and Coach "Buck" Astle appear on the same program, Lee Kraus tickles the ivories, a track theme is used, good food is served, and "Dear Old M. C." is a climax, any college program is considered a success.

Last Friday night in the Hotel Empire roof garden, members of the McPherson college "M" club and their guests, which was an outstanding social affair of the year. Guy Hayes, former gridster, trackster, and debater who now lives at Elis-worth, was the principal speaker.

Church Schools Compete—

Today is the big day in track for denominational colleges of the state which participate in the relays this afternoon and tonight at Sterling.

Again Ottawa. College of Emporia, and Baker will dominate the scene with Bethel and McPherson playing second fiddle. The Braves, with their superior attitude, "look-at-men" physique, and other fan fare, may scare the other squads with their point-manufacturing machine.

Last week Coach Godlove's lads turned slap happy with an impressive vistory over College of Emporia and Baker in a triangular affair, in which previous records were smashed as quickly as chickens are decapitated.

Don Meek and Walt Newland heaved the shot 43 feet, 7 inches, Omer Brenton nosed out Neill in the quarter, Seaman and Marshall were In the load of the mile, Haskell hit the 100 in 10-seconds flat and won the 220 and low hurdles, Wilberg chased over the barriers at 15.1.

Such marks sound imposing. Mc

Leis, Guitars Gain

W A. A members and their guests assembled for a banquet in the Waioll Tea Gardena at the Hotel Empire the evening of April 11, as leis guitars, and pineapples denoted an Hawaiian theme. Lenore Shirk

2 Dutchman Won't Scrap

Raymond "Dutch" Goering and Dale Stucky should have no trouble getting along as business manager and editor of the Spectator next year.

Both as German as "Hell," they are the best of friends and have gone to school together practically all their lives. It is reported that they have as an- nual friendly battle to deter-mine which one fo them will be mayor of Elyria, the small town they live in, for the ensuing year.

They played football together in the McPherson High school and Macollege until they both had to quit because of injuries received, after they had won their varsity letters.

Both good students they have driven seven miles every day in order to attend high school and collage.

Here From Switzerland

Walton J. Smith, who received his Doctor of Technical Science degree from the Swiss Institute of Technology on March 8, 1939, visited on the campus last week.

Dr. Smith took chemistry at McPherson college every summer while he was in high school and also in 1933. He assisted Dr. Hershey for one year.

He received his Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Cornell University, after which he spent one and one half years with Du Pont Company, Wilmington, Delaware.

Pherson will be pressed to the limit to gain many places.

Spring Sports Satisfy—

Spring sports are becoming popular on Macampus as the school year closes.....Now is the time for pitch

ing horsehoes, woo, and stuff. . . Pitching grounds are located east of the physical education building.

The tennis courts are crowded each afternoon with varsity players and other net enthusiasts . speaking of tennis, McPherson college has an out-standing squad this year and is winning laurels throughout the conference . . Watch them go to town at Salina next week.

Gym classes are engaging in small-scale track meets, which are training ground for sore legs, muscles, and dispositions. . But the good book says that all Bulldogs should be good sports, win, lose, or draw.

Russell Yoder had 211 orders for pictures of initiation several weeks ago. . . .Everyone will remember that affair, as well as the colorful M club banquet and the various jokes.

Banquets Break Records Breaking old records seems to be a habit with Rollin Wana-maker, McPherson college track star, especially about the time of the year when the annual "M" club banquet is to be held.

Last year Wanamaker established a new high jump record in the week of the banquet, then he set a new high hurdles mark this year in the corresponding week.

Famous Professor Says Macollege Unique

Walter Thompson, a graduate of McPherson college who after leaving McPherson a quarter of a century ago has both studied and taught in some of the leading American and European Universities and Is now professor of political science at Stanford University, not long ago issued a statement in which he said that the atmosphere of McPherson College is unique, not to be duplicated in the large universities of the country.

His wide range of experience which furnish an excellent basis for comparison, makes his statement particularly significant.

Mr. Thompson says, "Somehow or other McPherson College seems different, and, in seeking for an explanation, I have round it in the seriousness of purpose prevailing at M. C. That does not spell amidst encircling gloom. It simply menas that students were dedicated to learning, professors were dedicated to teaching, and both student and teacher were dedicated to social service. Naturally I assumed that such an attitude was common In all institutions of higher learning, but I have learned that such is not the case. I then thought it was a temporal thing that passed with my collegiate generation, but both teachers and students have assured me that this wholesome spirit still prevails. McPherson College is unique and I command it to any young person who is seriously seeking intellectual adventure and spiritual growth.'

To The Library

How many secrets you'd impart Had you but lips to speak!

You'd tell of students of all types Who've knowledge come to seek.

You'd tell of those who failed to meet Life's small situations.

And hoping that by learning much They'd not need foundations.

Of personality and soul

You'd tell of those who see

For the first time a hazy glimpse Of what they are to be

You hide, I know, within your walls The memories, still dear.

Of men and woman, great in soul, Who found their true loves here.

You hide no glorious a past!

How wonderful a place!

Why, everytime I touch a book I see an eager face!

—Flora Maa Duncan

"O God, Who has made of one blood all nations of men, mercifully receive the prayers that we offer for our anxious and troubled world. Send Thy light into our darkness, and guide the nations as one family into the ways of peace. Take sway all prejudice and hatred and fear. Strengthen in an day by day the will to understand. And to those who by their councils lead the peoples of the earth, grant a right judgment, that so through them and as Thy will be done:    Through Jesus Christ our

Lord."

All those belonging to the League of Prayer and Service also unite at noon each day in offering the following prayer for peace:

"Give peace for all time, O Lord, and fill my heart and the hearts of all men everywhere with the spirit of Our Lord Jesus Christ."

In addition, those joining the League make this agreement;

"I will try to pray daily for the Peace of the world, believing that God wants me to do this and so help to establish His Kingdom on earth. I will try to work for it in some of the following ways.

(a) by getting others to join the League.

(b) by showing goodwill in a practical way in all my dealings with others in my own home, in my business and beyond.

(c) by befriending people in distress at home and abroad.
