Y Conference Coming to Bethel February 21

Weiman and Chubb Included On Well Planned Program On Religion

Estes Banquet in Eve

Good Leaders and Low Expenses Make this a Worthwhile Meeting for All

"Great men are those who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule the world."—Emorson.

Following somewhat the same theme as suggested by Emerson the Bethel Conference will convene on Feb. 21. Friday evening is to be given over entirely to an open panel discussion. There these spiritual forces that should be strong but often are not will be discussed. Such topics as—"Why the indifference toward religion?", "The cause of disbelief even when the student says in words that he does believe," and the actually religious activities in the Y will be discussed. With this as a basis for thought, Dr. Wieman will address the conference the next morning on the subject. "The Highest Loyalty." During the afternoon a roundtable on "Pathways to God" will take place. Such leaders as Dr. Wieman, James Chubb, Helen Beavers, and Mr. and Mrs. Guy Geb-hardt will lead the discussions. The day will be completed with a rousing Estes banquet and party that will give one a glimpse of the grandeur and majesty that is Estes. Sunday morning a worship program and a talk by Dr. Wieman will complete the program. This last address of Dr. Wieman’s should prove very in-teresting and stimulating for he is to talk on "God and Social Problems."

Dr. Wieman, who is from Chicago University, is a leader in religious thought. Several of his books can be found in our library, namely "The Issues of Life and Religious Experience and the Scientific Spirit."

The expenses for this conference are nominal. The registration fee is 50c, room and breakfast is free, Saturday lunch is 25c, and the Estes banquet 40c. This, besides transportation charges, are the only expenses a delegate will incur.

All of these reasons make this conference a worthwhile one, and oven though the Regional Conference in McPherson will be in progress at the same time, this is an opportunity an alert student cannot afford to miss.

Five McPherson College Teams To Be Entered at Hutchinson

Y’s Meet on Monday For Second Semester

Inspirational Program of Music and Poetry Begins Season

The Y organizations of McPherson College met in a joint meeting for the first time under the new schedule of the second semester. Lucille Ullery played the prelude and postlude for the meeting. Group singing was led by Viola Harris. The numbers were "Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun" and "Father in Heaven, Who Lovest All."

Lota Wine, president of the Y. W. announced that a conference similar to one that was held at McPherson last year will be held at Bethel Col-lege at Newton, from Feb. 21 to Feb. 23. The outstanding subject of the conference will be, "Why are so many students indifferent to religion?" ILt is urged that as many as possible attend this conference to represent McPherson College Y’s.

Miss Wine also told about the Heart Sister week which is to be the week preceding Valentine's day. Each girl will be given the name of another girl which is to be kept a secret as the small deeds of kindness will come throughout the week. Any Y. W. member who is interested should give her name to Bernice Dresher.

The first number of the program consisted of a chalk talk by Chester Colwell who was accompanied at the piano by June McNamee. Devotional poems were read by Fred Nace, Lola Mae Harbough, George Toland, and Theresa Strom. The college mixed quartette sang the selection "I am the Builder" by Caldman. A second group of devotional poems were read by Modena Kauffman, Lowell Hal-deman, Margaret Messemer, and Vora Heckman. To close the meeting Miss Wine gave the benediction.

State Historical Meeting Here Elmer Staats is Guest Speaker

The tenth annual Kansas History Teachers Meeting will be held at McPherson College this spring. The date has been tentatively set for April 4; it will be an all day meeting. "World Recovery" will be the theme of the morning session. Elmer Staats, McPherson graduate of 1935, will present a paper on "The Relation of the Foreign Policy of the New Deal Towards Recover." Mr. Staats is now taking graduate work at Kansas University.

Other speakers will include W. W. Davis, the new chairman of the history department at Kansas University; and Prof. F. A. Shannon, of Kansas State College and the leading Kansas writer of books in the history fields. One of Professor Shannon's recent outstanding books is "The Economic History of the United Slates." E.

Women Elect Council To Act as Mediator

Arnold, Kline, and Town Girls Are Represented—Eight Members

Last Friday after chapel Doctor Smith met with all of the women students of the college for the pur-pose of assuring them of her interest in their problems and of urging them to come into her office occasionally for conferences. She suggested that the girls elect a council to act as a mediator between the faculty and the women students. The suggestion was received enthusiastically.

Eight girls were elected: one from each floor in Arnold, one from Kline, three from among the girls who live in their own homes, and one from among the girls who live in private homes. The girls elected were Margaret Poister, Margaret Messamer, and Lucille Ullery from Arnold. Lois Gnagy was selected to represent Kline; Bernice Dresher, Marie Stover, and Phyllis Powers were chosen by the girls living in their own homes; and Lucille Cole by the girls living in private homes other than their own.

These girls will meet with Miss Smith at certain scheduled times and discuss problems and interests common to the girls on McPherson College campus. There is no doubt that some worthwhile projects and ideas will grow out of those meetings.

Doctor Smith gave a dinner inhonor of the eight council members last Tuesday night in the dining room of the Home Economics department. Members of the foods classes assisted with the preparation and serving of the dinner. The table was attractively decorated with pink us the predominating color.

Deputy Sheriff Milton James

Gives Talk on Crime in C. E.

Deputy "Sheriff Milton James of the McPherson county police force spoke to the College Christian Endeavor group Sunday evening. His subject was about crime and the help that college students can give to aid in crime prevention. Preced- ing Sheriff James' address the Mc- Pherson College mixed quartette sang the song, "Arise Oh Lord" arranged by Dels, Lola Mae Har-baugh led in devotions by reading the first Psalm. A short business session was held by the president, Paul Miller. It was decided by the Endeavor to let the C. E. executive appoint the persons to act on the Youth Council of McPherson.

Dr. Smith to Continue Teas the Second Semester—First One Today

Doctor Smith plans to continue her student teas this semester. Instead of having them every week as she did last semester, however, she will have them every other week. They will be from 4 to 5:30 p. m. on Thursday. These teas are open to all college students.

Lillian Peterson will assist Doctor Smith this afternoon with her first tea of the semester. Miss Smith cordially invites anyone who wishes to come.

THE SCHOOL OF QUALITY

THIS MORNING the students of the college were treated to an exhibition of what talented negro performers can do. This group of well-educated, cultured, and thoroughly respectable negro men sang in the inimitable style which is characteristic of their race, in a manner to arouse admiration of all music lovers present.    

It is interesting to note that these same young men have been absolutely unable to secure either hotel accommodation or a place to eat in McPherson. This of course, is partly due to an unalterable situation, which more or less ties the hands of business men. At the same time the incident raises the ire of every young citizen who has heard it, and it offers a definite challenge to all college students.

We, the student generation of today, will form the backbone of

As It Seems To Me

HOME OF THE BULLDOGS

and gate in rapture at the ceiling? Then of course we all admire the quiet composure of Dr. Bright, won der at the formal stiffness of Prof. Hess, and smile at the innocence of Dr. Hershey.

Or, finally, could it be that the professorate likes to stick together to lend moral support to some weak-kneed prof who gets stage fright at an unpropitious moment?

But casting all joking aside, these are not the reasons for faculty seating on the stage. There really seems to be no good reason—it’s just an effete custom. It has proved to be boring and unpopular to students. The only advantage which can possibly be gained by the faculty is perhaps an opportunity for them to check up on who is in the chapel and who is not. And the monitors are supposed to do that.

If student reports are valid, it would be greatly appreciated if the faculty, in the main, would sit in the ranks of the students rather  than segregate themselves into full view of the student body. Is it too much to hope that the manifest improvements on the campus will be complimented and complemented by

a cessation of this unpopular faculty habit?—K. W. standard and that is why they live today. Now if Christ didn't give the final word on problems don’t "jump on" the faculty members if they don't solve your problems for you. However, you can reach a conclusion with their guidance and form a working basis for yourself. This is probably what you really want anyhow but you just haven't realized it.

As was mentioned above, the test of a problem or standard is in the spirit of the whole matter. Only spiritual men discover spiritual things. If this is true then how do you "stack" up?—An Interested Observer.

By College News Service Teachers in the District of Columbia public schools should be permitted to give their pupils "the facts" about communism, according to Congressman Fred J. Sisson. Demo-crat of New York, who this week had presented a bill which would do just that.

He declared that "the best way to combat communism or anything else which is destructive of our present order is not to cloak it in mystery or secrecy, but to let the facts be

known."

This provision, attached as a "rider" to the District appropriation bill last year, has figured prominently in an investigation of the alleged teaching of communism in the public schools.

"No right-minded person believes any one should be allowed to advocate communism or any other 'ism' in the public schools, but it is rather an insult to the teaching profession to presuppose that it is necessary to forbid it," Sisson said.

"However, the prohibition against the teaching of communism would very likely carry with it the idea that students in the schools should not bo allowed to gain the facts about the social, economic or political systems of other countries and could be based only upon the assumption that our young people are too feeble-minded to know the truth about things."

High Taxes Soon to Stop Large

Endowments by Rich Americans

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, sums up the advice to the private colleges of America just offered by William Pearson Tolley, president of Alleghany College in Harrisburg, Pa. Endowments are due to become a rarity on the American scene, he warns.

"Regardless of the party in pow-er." President Tolley said, "taxes will grow steadily higher, the number of great estates steadily smaller and the surplus out or which come the gifts to colleges, schools, churches and other institutions will gradually disappear.

The change will not assume alarming proportions for about a decade, he said.—(A. C. P.)

College Lays New Floors

In Sharp Basement Hall

The college administration has made possible the laying of a new oak floor in the basement hall lead-ing to the new student union room. It has also made possible the construction of a partition beneath the stairway in the same hall. These improvements add much to the appearance of the approach to the new room.

Work on the student union room has again stopped because of a shortage of finances. The student council treasurer reports that approximately $200 is needed before the work will be resumed.

Outstanding Religions of World

Are Discussed in World Service

The World Service group discussed the relative benefits and desirability of different types of religion which are in wide use today throughout the world. Another feature of the World Service meeting was the singing of the Central College male quartette. To open the meeting the quartette sang two numbers, one of which was the negro spiritual, "Standing in the Need of Prayer." The opening prayer was given by Harriette Smith.

The book "Treasure House of Great Religions" afforded the source for religions excerpts which were given by Wanda Hoover, Theresa Strom, Donald Petry, and Harriette Smith.

Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, and Christianity were the four outstanding religions of the world which were discused by the group. To each religion certain important doctrines of all religions were discussed. Those subjects included the "Supreme God," "What is Man?," "Love," "Divine Dictation of Self Dictation."

The male quartette sang a number to close the meeting which was followed by the benediction, given by Wanda Hoover.

COLLEGE DAZE...

(From "Gourdie" Green's Diary) otes to-night in a game of blackman, seemed like someway the empire just couldn't git going. No wonder our boys couldn't play better, every time the timekeepers blowed they thought it was time to go to class. Wish someboy'd get up a stunt at the half of all the games, only I don't want them to start none of that Alley-oop stuff on us Freshmen. Stayed up so late at a bull session that I wrote this tomorrow.

Sat. 1. February. Liked to never got out in time to suit Forney, wish he'd git in such a hurry sometime with the heat before breakfast. He sure looks proud every time that fog horn bellows. Left my soap in the shower again to-night and som-body hooked it. I'm gitting tired of keeping the whole floor in soap, I don't want to be a theif but I guess I'll have to do it too or wash without. Sure cold without today. Swell date tonight, we played cards till closing time, then a bunch of us guys played some more till about twelve-thirty.

Sun. 2. Ray, there wont be much more winter, cos the ground-hog didn't see his shadow to-day. Lerned to be a mental telepather to-day, I didn't believe in it at first, but there must be something to it or I couldn't of picked out the ace of spades that way. Everybody in the dorm was thinking about numbers, I didn't think there was as many decks of cards in the whole town as I saw to-day. Took Her to CE tonight. What the guy said about learning crime by the ABCs made me think about the guys which steal the soap when you leave it in the wash room. Maybe it does serve a guy right, he hadn't ought to he so absent-minded. but what would them guys do if they found a automobile which somebody had absentmindedly left the key in while they went into a store or some where? After CE we monkeyed around awhile and went to the YW room and played cards awhile. I don’t know what the trouble was but there was fights going

on on three davenports while we was there, and they was still fighting when we left. I dont know who was winning but it looked to me like it was nothing to nothing.

Mon. 3. Finding a practical use for some of what I learned in Old Testament. We studdied about Jez-ebel and all the mean things she did. Well, thats about the fittenist name I can think of for Forney's latest brain-child. Every time I hear that fog horn I wish sombody would throw her down so hard there would be 13 baskets full of fragments to gather up. Well, I was coming out of the ad building right behind doc Petry to-day and just as he went out the door Jezebel belched, and doc Petry said, "That thing is the offspring of perdition!" Glad I never hatched the idea.

Tue. 4. Boy! o Boy! o Boy! we just soaked Ottawa in an overtime period. No use to try to study anymore, glad we got an excuse at last. I went to town this P. M., and cot a ride about a block down. Just as the guy started up again Jezebel blared forth, and the guy pulled over and looked back to see what kind of a truck was following us. I told him it was just Jezebel up at the college and he wanted to know if all the girls came running down to see who was honking every time it goes. They never did pay that much attention to anybody, unless he had a car with a better horn than that.

By 2 Point Margin

Johnston Leads by Scoring 14 Points—Meyer Makes 12— Lynch of Ottawa Scores 11.

The Bulldogs defeated Ottawa Tuesday night by a score of 39 to 37 in an overtime game. At the end of the regular playing period the game was at a 33 all deadlock.

The Ottawa team was in the lead at the end of the first half by a count of 20 to 12. The Bulldogs played ragged ball during the first half and part of the second. With the second half about half gone the Bulldogs tied the score and the score see-sawed for the remainder of the game. Both teams fought very bitterly during the overtime period but the Bulldog team came out on top.

Johnston, McPherson forward, was high scorer of the game with a total of 14 points. Tony Meyer, McPherson center, scored 12 points. Lynch led the scoring for Ottawa with 11 points.

McPherson played hectic ball during most of the game. They were unable to find the basket and could not pass accurately. It was not until the latter part of the final period that the McPherson team settled down to playing a good grade of  basketball.

Bulldogs Nose Out

Lead Over Coyotes

McPherson Takes Wesleyan with a Score of 33 to 27 Friday

The McPherson College Bulldogs staged a last-half rally Friday night to defeat the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes by a score of 33 to 28. The half score was 10 to 7 in favor of Wesleyan. The McPherson team was on the small end of the score until about ten minutes of the second half was gone.    

In the middle of the second half Barngrover, Bulldog guard, found the basket and hit the hoop for three straight field goals. These points put the McPherson team out in front by a few counts. It was not long until Johnston got warmed up good and made several points.

The Bulldogs piled up a ten point lead when there were about five minutes of the game remaining. The Wesleyan team staged a rally and reduced this to a three point lead, with only two minutes and forty-five seconds left to play in the game. The Coyotes failed to gain these three points which were necessary  to tie the score.     

The game went by halves, in that Wesleyan was rather hot the first half when the Bulldogs could hit nothing. The McPherson team made only one field goal during the entire first half of the game. In the second half the Coyotes did not get any better but the McPherson team  came back on the floor with the determination to win the game and showed a much improved grade of basketballs The Bulldogs piled up 11 field goals in the last period of play while the Coyotes only made 18 points in the last half.

Duekson, Wesleyan forward, was high scorer for the game with a total of 12 points, five field goals and two free throws. Johnston led the scoring for the Bulldogs with ten points. Each team scored 12 field goals but the McPherson team

Intramural basketball has been held up thus far this week because of the basketball trip that the varsity made. At the present time it seems that the Sophomore A team is leading with three victories. The seniors have played only one game and they won it.

We have made no mention of the Brethren Sunday School team thus far this year. The church has two teams entered in the leagues at the Y. M. C. A. One of the teams is made up of men who have no college or high school letters in basketball. The other team is for anyone who is not playing on any other team. In the junior division the team has won one game and lost one, while in the senior division the team had a perfect standing until Tuesday night when the Presbyterians defeated them. The Junior team plays each Friday night and the senior team plays on Tuesday nights.

Sorry if "sport lights" seems to be dry to you but we are doing our best. Yes sir!    

Bulldogs Defeated by Baker Wildcats With Score 38-27

Baker went to the top of the conference last night when they handed the McPherson College Bulldogs a 38 to 27 defeat. Before the game last night both teams bad a standing of 1.000 in the conference in that they had both won 3 and lost no games. The defeat last night for the McPherson team sent them down to second place and gave the Wildcats the lead in the conference. The Bulldogs play a return game with Baker at McPherson later this month and so they still have a chance to win or tie for the conference championship.

Recent Division of W. A. A. Team Gets Better Results

The Women's Athletic Association has recently divided its basketeers into two teams which is proving to be more satisfactory to both teams and all members concerned. Instead of the previous setup in which there were three teams each of which was somewhat handicapped because of lack of numbers there are now only two teams allowing more substitutions. This assures at least six players. Team number one is made up of Phyllis Barngrover, Aileen Wins, Becky Ann Stauffer, Evelyn Herr, Irene Smith, Evelyn High, Lucille Cole and Jessie Miller. Team Number Two is made up of the following members: Rilla Hubbard, Marjorie Flory, Lenore Shirk, Lola Mae Harbough, Mildred Stutz-man, Maxine Clark, Alberta Keller, Eva Fay Thomison, La Vena High and Ruth Rogers.

Although cheered at times and booed at other times "Hick" Rein-eckcr is still acting as referee.
