FIFTH BOOSTER BANQUET PRONOUNCED A SUCCESS

McPherson Again Responds to

Support the College in Its Drive for Finance

CASH COAL IS EXCEEDED

The Hon. Arthur M. Hyde Delivers

Main Address of Evening—Hall In Artistically Decorated

The fifth annual Booster Banquet sponsored by McPherson College was held Friday evening, March 22, in the Community Building. Last year the people of the community came to the aid of the College at a time when help was much needed by contributing $10,000. This year the advisability or asking the people to give further financial aid so soon after last year’s extensive campaign was seriously questioned. But once more the friends of the College responded splendidly. Latest reports show that the goal, $2,500, was exceeded.

It is estimated that approximately 600 people wore present at the banquet. Including those who helped in the kitchen and the waiters and waitresses.

The principal speaker of the evening was the Hon. Arthur M. Hyde, ex-governor of Missouri, who is well known as a national political figure and as a speaker and orator. He served in Hoover’s cabinet us Secretary of Agriculture and is well informed along the lines of economics and agriculture. In his address Mr. Hyde expressed his views of the present economic situation and what he felt to be the attitude that American citizens should take toward present systems and proposed remedies.

The program included greetings from the Kansas Council of Church College conveyed by President Ernst Pihlblad of Bethany College, and greetings from the State Department of Education, brought by Miss Louie Lesslie, Secretary of the State Board of Education.

President V. F. Schwalm gave a brief address in which he expressed appreciation for the fine support which the people of McPherson have given to the College and thanked everyone who assisted with the Banquet in any way.

Mr. Milton Hawkinson, prominent business man of McPherson, acted as master of ceremonies.

During the banquet, music was furnished by a string ensemble directed by Miss Lois Wilcox, violin instructor at McPherson College. The Male Octette from the College presented several numbers and were vigorously applauded. Floyd Harris played a cornet solo and Menno Richert gave a vocal solo.

The invocation was given by the Reverend Ray Zook, the new pastor of the College Church.

The banquet hall was decorated in the College colors, red and white. The effect of a radio broadcasting station was carried out at the speek-ers table with two miniature radio towers and a microphone. The other tables were ornamented with paper radio receiving sets.

The work involved in the preparing of the meal was done by the choking staff of the College and a number of student and faculty assistants. The serving was done by forty men and women from the College. The Banquet was a notable success both financially and as a worthwhile social event. Those who had the responsibility of making arrangements for and working out the details of the Banquet are to be commended for their work.

C. E. HOLDS ELECTION SUNDAY

Paul Miller, president-elect, will head the 1935-'36 C. E. organization. He will be assisted by Estelle Balle, vice president: Pauline Abubl, secretary: and David Metzger, treasurer.

The election was held at the regular service hour Sunday evening.

"The Application of Religion to the College Youth" was discussed following the election by the Reverend J. M. Evans, pastor of the Con-gregational Church.

PAUL BOOZ AWARDED FIRST PLACE IN PEACE CONTEST

Paul Booz, a Junior, was awarded first place in the peace oratorical contest which was held Sunday night at the College Church. His oration was entitled "Speeding the Transition." By virtue of his victory, Booz will represent the College in the State peace contest at Bethel College in Newton. April 4.

H. S. VISITATION BEGINS

Schwalm, Replogle, Mohler Assume Responsibilities For Field Work

In the absence of a field director, several faculty members have taken over the responsibility of visiting nearby high schools in the interest, of the local college.

During the next month. Dr. Schwalm, Dean Mohler, and Dean Replogle will visit 48 nearby high schools. At each high school, local students will present a short program after which the representative of the College will speak to the seniors of the high school. Such talent as soloists, the male octette, and the ladies trios will accompany the representatives on these visits.

It is the desire of the representa-tives to interest some of the gradu-utes in attending McPherson College. At each of these meetings, the seniors will fill out cards which will be kept on file at the College. From the information on the card the school officials can determine the main interest of the high school graduate and can then proceed to in-terest him in coming to McPherson College.

The climax of this program is the high school festival which is held on the campus on April 27. On the day of the festival, there are music contests and a tennis tournament, for the high school seniors of nearby high schools. The day’s program is completed with the annual banquet given for high school seniors. During the last 13 years McPherson College has held this annual event. Dean Mohler is in charge of all arrangements for the festival.

The high school yisitation pro-gram is to be given in the following towns by one of the College representatives: Inman, Buhler, Halstead, Florence, Moundridge, Little River, Peabody, Durham, Hillsboro, Lehigh, Canton, Assaria, Marquette, Langley, Geneseo, Sylvia, Stafford, St. John, Macksville, Nickerson, Part-ridge, Abbeyville, Plevna, Arlington, Langdon, Pretty Prairie, Castelton, Zook, Larned, Holsington, Great Bend, Claflin, Bushton, Holyrod, Lorraine, Enterprise, Hope, Gypsum, Roxbury, Tampa, Ramona, Los Springs, and Lincolnville.

CALENDAR FOR THE WEEK

Saturday, March 30—Central Kansas Vocational Guidance conference, 9 a. m.

Sunday, March 31—C. E. meeting, College Church. 6:30 p. m. Tuesday, April 2—Regular Y. M.-Y. W. meetings, 10 a. m.

CAPACITY CROWD SEES SENIOR PRESENTATION

Cast It to be Commended On Its Interpretation of Character Roles

With the chapel filled to capacity the senior class presented on Monday evening, a three-act comedy by Philip Barry, "The Youngest." The date for the presentation of the play had previously been set for Tuesday evening, but a conflicting program made the change of date necessary. The audience found the play highly amusing and much favorable comment was heard concerning the act-ing.

The setting of the play is in the Winslow home in a small town in New York. The Winslows are the most wealthy and Influential family in the town and consequently are quite careful to uphold family traditions and prestige. Richard Winslow, the youngest of the family, has high aspirations of becoming an author but his thwarted and ridiculed at every turn he makes by the other members of the family who excuse themselves by saying "it's all for his own good." Finally, because of a clause in the father’s will and because of the influence of Nancy Blake, guest at the Winslow home. Richard gains the upper hand. He properly asserts his rights and makes his family feel for the first time that he is a perfectly capable young man and well able to take care of himself. In the process of winning the respect of his family, he loses his old sense of inferiority and, as the play ends, he finds that even Nancy considers him her equal.

Harry Frantz, as Richard, delighted the audience with the naturalness with which he played the part. His lines were clever and he made them count. Neva Root, who is well known to the play-goers of McPherson, played the part of Nancy Blake with her usual excellent interpretation. She has previously appeared only in character roles but she was equally effective in her part as a young society girl.

STUDENTS URGED TO ATTEND GUIDANCE ASSN. MEETINGS

Several high school teachers and college faculty members have already written that they will be here Saturday, March 30, to attend the Central Kansas Vocational Guidance Association conference. Four of the faculty members of the Marymount College at Salina are among this number.

Another speaker has been obtained to be on the program, L. W. Brooks of the Wichita High School North. An interesting program has been planned.

Everyone is invited to attend the conference Saturday which begins at 9:00 a. m. There will be no charge, except for the luncheon at noon All College students who can attend are urged to do so.

THESPIANS SELECT PLAY

“Death Takes a Holiday" Will Be Given This Spring by Students

The Thespian Club has chosen for its production this year the well-known three-act play. "Death Takes a Holiday," by Alberto Casolla. Tryouts were held yesterday afternoon with Miss Della Lehman, Mrs. R. C. Petry, and Mary Miller as judges. Since the cast is tentative as it now stands, the judges asked that it not be announced until later.

The play is unusual in that the central figure is the character of Death. He decides to appear on earth for three days us a mortal in order to find out why men fear him. He chooses as the place for his visit the villa of Duke Lambert in Italy. He appears in the person of Prince Sirki, whom the duke was expecting and who was unknown to the other guests. During the period of his ter-restrial visit he falls in love and tastes earthly suffering to the dregs. The play is full of unusual and dramatic happenings.

"Death Takes a Holiday" was one of the outstanding movies of last year, and it will be a difficult production, but the Thespian club feels that it contains sufficient talent to meet its requirements. The play will be coached by Mary Miller, a member of the club, with the assistance of Miss Della Lehman. The choice of the play was made by a committee consisting of Mary Miller, Maxine Ring, and Blanch Harris, president of the organization.

ZELLNER TO PRESENT UNIQUE PROGRAM DELUXE AT LYCEUM

A unique entertainment with the smoothness and precision of finished showmanship will be given April 8,

gram Deluxe, which is a program in which he portrays the inimitable Huckleberry Finn and Abe Martin, generals and statemen, and many other well known characters. All characters are presented in full makeup and costume. The average time for complete changes, from head to foot, is but thirty seconds. Some changes require only six or eight seconds each.

DRIVEWAY NORTH OF SHARP

HALL IS TO BE CLOSED

Plans have been definitely made to close the drive that leads from the north side of the "Ad" building to the girls’ dorm. For several years this drive has been of little practical value to the College.

THESPIANS ELECT MEMBERS

At a meeting of the Thespian Club Monday afternoon four new members were voted into the organization. Three were accepted on the basis of the work they have done in plays this year: these were Harry Frantz. Merle Measamer, and John Kauffman. Paul Turner was made a mem-ber on the basis of his ability in stage-managing.

The constitution of the organization makes provision for such election of members to fill the club's quota of 25.

NUMBER 26

The Spectator An Organ For Your Expression

Half-baked ideas and rumors spread themselves across the campus. Students with originally constructive ideas and proposals find them coming back to them radical and unworkable. Others have ideas and complaints which should legitimately be aired before the student body.

Only one solution lies in the path for those facing these difficulties. That solution is to publish the pro-position in the Spectator. The editorial staff maintains two columns in this paper for such expression. It is for the student to write his viewpoint clearly and place it in the Spectator box in the Business Office. All articles should carry the names of the contributor but such names will be kept strictly confidential by the editors of the paper.

he chief characteristic of the majority of the articles handed in is that they have lacked constructive remedies for the evils which the article pointed out. The Spectator welcomes any criticism, but to get that criticism printed in the paper some constructive remedy should be included in the article.

In addition to criticism on campus topics, the paper welcomes any other article of an editorial nature. Top-ics which are of interest to the student body as a whole or any other on which you wish to express a point of view will be printed in the paper, provided the above conditions are observed.

Cooperate With Your Leader

With the coming into office of the new officers to the student organizations on the campus a now and great-or demand arises for the cooperation of the students who have formerly been interested and who expect to attend the organization's meetings in the future. Student leaders, no matter how effecive they may be ordinarily, cannot make these organizations fill their true function on the campus without the wholehearted cooperation of all students who are asked to participate in the meetings. Without this cooperation weekly meetings become stale and uninspiring.

No better slogan or motto could be adopted for the coming year than this: "An organization cannot inspire enthusiasm; it is the product of its members.”Address All Correspondence to THE SPECTATOR

"There would be a similar increase in automobile ownership and the average value of the cars would be from a fourth to a third greater than at present.

"High school graduates would be three to four times as numerous as at present and the corresponding figures for college graduates would be ten or eleven. Church membership would be about 40 per cent more than now among Protestants and the tendency toward philanthropy would be increased.

"On the one hand, crime as well as the dependency which required public relief would be only half as prevalent as now."

Professor Huntington’s conclusion is that the difference between the Anglo-Americans of Puritan and non-Puritan descent is due mainly to the unconscious but effective selection involved in the original migration. This gave to the Puritans not only a cultural inheritance of strict moral principles, but a biological inheritance that caused an unusual percentage of their descendants to be above the average of innate ability and power of self-control, he says.

The Puritants were fortunate in being compelled to sort themselves out in a rough way on the basis of character, Professor Huntington adds, but other groups may some day sort themselves out much more scientifically along still broader and better lines.

EDDY HEADS CAMPAIGN

Quad's Plan for Increased Circulation to be Supervised by Senior

Orval Eddy has taken complete charge of the Quadrangle Sales Campaign. He plans to contact students and create an interest among the student body in order to get personal letters into the hands of alumni and friends.

The campaign has had partial success. The response has been sufficient enough to prove to the staff that student support will insure success. The first goal of 500 copies is in sight.

The campaign must be pushed and students must act within the next ten days in order for the staff to publish the book by the first of May. Copy for the year-book has been assigned and in many cases has been turned in. The covers have been picked and a sample copy is due this week. Publication is being held up because of the sales campaign. Printing and ordering of paper and covers can't be completed until some definite figure is set as to how many books will be ordered.

In statement Editor Sam Stoner said today: "In writing to your friends be sure to tell them that this offer is not a donation. They are buying a book for $2.00 that costs in the neighborhood of $1,500 to publish. This year’s book is different and will be interesting to people who do not know a single McPherson College student. In selling the book you are not asking for the $2.00 now. Orders will be filled by simply filling in the order card enclosed in each letter giving their name and address along with the number of copies desired. The book will be sent C. O. D. in May and in no case will the buyers be asked to pay before delivery. In order to make our offer more attractive the Quad Staff will refund $2.00 to any person who is not satisfied with the book after it has been delivered.”

CO-EDUCATION "OKEYED" FOR CLASSROOM PURPOSES ONLY

By College News Service

Boone. N. C., March 28.—Co-education in the classrooms is "okey,” but elsewhere on the Appalachian State Teachers’ College campus the male is strictly outlawed.

And, although the faculty is determined to keep it just that way, some three score male students have demanded a "New Deal" In keeping with "modern education."

They would like to have "dates" with the girls for the various college functions beyond the walls of academic learning, such as athletic contests. They feel, that co-education should extend into the sphere of social relationships as well as in the more formal quest for wisdom.

Many of the students recently left their classes in open revolt against the system. They returned, however, without accomplishing their purpose.

The student strike was assertedly preceded by a demonstration at a basketball game, when some fifty men invaded the "female section” of the gymnasium. Such an uproar over the infractions resulted that play was stopped and the game forfeited to the opposing team.

The boys escorted the girls to their dormitories where they were met by police. After a short battle, the males were dispersed, reports aver.

This ’n’ That In a Student’s Life

Far, far into the night I burn this candle bright—and where does it get me? No, I'm not cramming for a quiz. But instead I'm to write a feature for the Spec. But what’s to do when there is nothing to write about and besides that I’m getting a char-lie horse with all this dashing from one place to another trying to catch up but never quite doing so.

We no more than get one play in the bag until try-outs begin for another. That’s partly so that if any A Cappella member is lucky enough to make the cast he can take a book along in his sojourn. I guess so he can learn his part and entertain the other kids on the trip. Well, I guess I don’t know what he’d want to take it along for, either, unless it’s for a ballast.

But come to think of it, "Death Takes a Holiday"—that is really a good play, and maybe you think the Thespians won’t put it over. A play to that group of dramatists is not a money making proposition—unless I’m sadly mistaken. What they want to do is to put on a truly artistic production, or you’d think so at least if you'd heard all the laments and seen all the looks that I did when the committee was trying to select a play. Qualities governing the chosen play were that it must have as many women as men in the cast (evidently a superfluous group of women and not too many men in the club, huh?) it must not be a play of family relations. It must not be of too light vein, the characters must be kinetic and not static (if you don’t under-stand my dramatic terms, enroll in a course under Miss Lehman and you’ll soon learn them), oh, there were ever so many more qualifications, but see Mary Miller, Maxine Ring or Blanch Harris for more details since they spent much of one night reading the selected play.

I took a survey of the tennis courts this afternoon and discovered "Carpy,” "Bobby” Stratman, and Binford among others who are starting the season in great style. Looks as though someone put in the same hard work getting these courts in condition to play on. We’re expect-ing the announcement any day now to the effect that the courts are to be played on only during the afternoons and evenings. Boys, boys, you mustn’t play during the morning hours—Naughty, naughty!

Seems to me this is about the kind of; weather to got student election and its associated ballyhoo and underhand stuff started. All I know is what I hear and what happens to come by, but there have been hints and rumors in the air that the weaker sex is going to give the male constituency some pretty stiff competition for some of the most coveted positions.

In fact, I have been hearing a lot of things—all of which I can’t reveal to the public eye or ear. But it seems that Miss Lehman is planning to read a group of Irish poems in Y. W. next Tuesday. I always thought she was German until I heard her read some really honest-to-goodness Irish poetry once and I began to wonder if she perchance does not hail from the Emerald Isle.

With all of these tests, projects, research papers, collateral reading, etc., that the profs expect of us, I haven't even adequate time to write a feature for the weekly buzz. I wonder if I have enough words to suffice. You count them (I was supposed to have 300)—As for me, I’m turning in!
