Chess Challenges Spirit Of Mac Intelligentsia

By Ken Brown

Of late, that fascinating contest called chess has been challenging the pugnacious spirit of Macollege intelligentsia throughout the wee hours of numerous mornings.

• Chess is a physical contest, for the victor is the enduring character who can survive with the least amount of sleep, sit with .the least amount of pain, and move the pieces with the smallest possible expended energy.

The winner, although physically unsound after a night’s contest, must be able to recuperate quickly by sleeping during the day in preparation for the next nightly battle. „    

The good chess player, because of his great need for large quantities of nutrition, eats more than three meals.

Chess is also a mental contest. The most important aspect of this portion of the game is in the participant's ability to pass his courses with the minimum amount of study. Passing is necessary in that the "scholar” can remain on these premises’ to play more chess.

Opportunity seems to have an uncanny habit of favoring those who have paid the price of years of preparation.

Students Display Art Productions In Library

Say, Mac. have you noticed the art exhibit over in the library? I want to urge you to go over and look at it. You don’t know anything about art? That’s all right, neither do I. But I want you to go over, stand in front of each picture and look at it a few seconds. then move on to another. When you find one you particularly like, return tomorrow or the next day and then again next week, and look at it again.

Try to decide what there is about the picture which you like. Decide whether you-prefer bold, bright colors, or soft, mellow shades. Do you prefer still lifes or scenery?

Think about these things and occasionally take time to look at art As you will learn to appreciate it more and will really begin to enjoy it. I did,—M. H.

Building On Girls’ Dormitory Is Progressing Rapidly

Very rapid progress is being made on the new girls’ dormitory, according to President D. W. Bittinger. He stated that the builders have completed everything below ground level, and all plumbing and heating pipes have been put in.

Next, the upright steel pillars, which will support the floors are to be installed. The construction of this building, the lift-slab method, is a new process in this part of the country in which all floors and the roof are poured under

ground and lifted to their positions by a hydraulic process. This method makes it possible to fill in between floors with whatever is wished. Picture windows are being used in the building.

Steps are being taken so that furniture will be available as soon as the building is ready for it. There is a good possibility that the dormitory will be competed by September of this year, according to Dr. Bittinger and the contractor.    ..... . . I


Too many of us have the habit of being overly critical of the personalities of our associates. It can even become a hobby to literally tear apart a personality and leave it lying around in exposed ugly pieces.

We do not actually mean to be cruel, and thus excuse ourselves by believing that we are doing the person a favor in bringing out his poor qualities.

How much better it would be if we continually concentrated on bringing the admirable qualities of our friends into focus. The most gracious and beneficial thing we can do is to be complimentary where praise is deserved, and then make that constructive suggestion.—R. P.

One Is The Limit!

At the beginning of each semester, as each student enrolls, he is given a subscription to the Spectator, which is included in his enrollment expenses.

This entitles each student to ONE Spec each Friday, Each Spec costs five cents, and according to the business manager,the paper is having quite a hard time meeting expenses, anyway.

If you would like to send a copy of the Spec to your folks or friends, you may still do so by paying seventy-five cents for this second semester.

The Spectator staff hopes that all students will cooperate with them and the Student Council in seeing that each student gets their copy each week.

Every person who fakes two copies for himself, is taking a copy away from someone else.

Since this is a room for all the students of the school, the Student Council has done some things to strive toward that end. A person has been hired to keep the room in good order, so that we may all be proud of it.

Some plants which have been loaned by Miss Vancil. have brightened up the place. Also the SUR committee has purchased some new games which are stored in the cabinet along the north wall, and some music at the piano. These are for everyone to use. It is hoped that the SUR will be used by more students.

We want it to be understood that the lights being on is not meant to be a reprimand, but so that more people will feel free to use the room.

Thinking With The President

THE JI-BOMB

An island in the South Pacific, it is reported, is now being cleared for the testing of a large scale H-Bomb. When we moved nn entire tribe of people a few years ago to explode an A-bomb there was world wide publicity attached to it. A little later England moved a tribe in Australia in order to test military weapons and again we wondered whether "civilization” had the right to push people from their ancestral home lands in order to experiment in death. Now wc have become "used to it": ethical considerations arc dropped: civilization has the "right" to do what it wants to do.

I wonder how the people of the islands and elsewhere feel about this growing feeling on the part of the "civilized" concerning their rights to displace peoples.

The H-Bomb wo arc going to explode was extremely expensive; it may have cost us as much as four billion dollars.

The power is tremendous, beyond possible description or comprehension. When it explodes it will generate a heat 30.000 times hotter than the sun. This heat will ignite and burn up our atmosphere. This burning of the atmosphere will move about two miles in every direction, from The site of the explosion completely vaporizing every object and living thing within that area.

The destructiveness will go much beyond that, however.

Everything within an area of 80 square miles will be levelled. One bomb will completely obliterate any large city such as New York. London. Moscow. Paris. Its effect will be felt over 20.000 additional square miles. If it is released in New York. Philadelphia will suffer.

The radiation effects can only be guessed at.

Well, we have the H-bomb made now. Other nations arc making them also. They say they must because we did. Russia has very few settled areas where the H-Bomb would reach its maximum killing effectiveness. We have many. If H-Bombs become a regular part of war. we are the people who can be hurt most. Are we forcing into existence the means of our own destruction?

Lets keep on thinking! It isn't expensive and it might help!

Students Art Pessimistic About Peace Chances

fACPI College students have little hope of cither a speedy end to the Korean war or of peace between Russia and the United States.

In a survey taken by the ACP National Poll of Student Opinion, students across the nation were asked: "Do you think the Korean war will be over within six months?"

The results:

Yes—5 percent.

No—82 percent.

No opinion 10 percent.

Other—3 percent.

Students were also asked: "How do you feel about chances for a peaceful settlement of differences between Russia and the United States?" Here are the answers:

Chances are good—3 percent.

Chances are fair—27 percent.

Chances are poor—54 percent.

No chances—12 percent.

No opinion—4 percent. -

In a Student Opinion poll taken one year ago the same question was asked. At that time only 45 percent of those interviewed said "Chances are poor."

Most students lay both the Korean war and Cold war at Russia's doorstep. "Russia is not looking * for peace but for power," says a junior from Mount Mary College. Milwaukee.

Those who feel there Is still a chance for peace, tend to pin their hopes on: A revolution in the Soviet Union and its satellites; Soviet fear of Western power; U. S. "patience and diplomacy”: Eisenhower. "A turning back.” as one student puts it. "to religion and God."

" The movement to lower the voting age has already received support from segments of the college press and from various student organizations. The National Student Association, in a recent meeting of its executive committee, voted to "put its enthusiastic support behind the movement.”

At Minnesota, a bill to lower the voting age to 18 years has been introduced-in the state legislature Supporters of the bill say .it has "better than a 50-50 chance of passing."

Veterans Education Remains Controversial

The new GI Bill covering Korean war veterans continues to be a controversial issue with institutions of higher education.

Major disagreement turns around the provision which treats all veterans alike, with same payments, regardless of whether the college they attend has high or low tuition. The Association of American Colleges and certain institutions arc pressing for a change in the law to provide different benefits in accordance with the tuition charged.

Meanwhile, colleges and universities are making special arrangements to assist the Korean veteran in getting his college education. A number of institutions have provided for accelerating veterans programs so that they can complete their education in less than four academic years. Some colleges arc giving the veterans the same privileges as World War II veterans.

From The Sidelines

By Draper

The sports page this week, with the exception of this column which I am writing before I leave, will be in the hands of other members of the Spectator staff.

It is a welcome relief after writing the sports for more than a year not to have to meet a deadline on all the stories. The reason for the vacation is that I have gone to Washington, D. C., to the political seminar.

If, one operates under the assumption that any publicity, whether favorable or unfavorable, is good publicity, then the Baseball world received a lot of good free publicity last week.

Fred Saigh. owner of the St. Louis Cardinals, was sentenced to a term In jail because they said that he had evaded paying the income tax that he was supposed to. What amazed me, though, was the way he was quickly removed from the ownership of that major league franchise. Baseball wants absolutely no type of taint what-so-ever on it.

Not too many years back, it was a game where there was all kinds of crookedness going on. In fact, around the turn of the century and the years immediately following, any ''respectable" hotel in the country wouldn't allow anybody that had a connection with the evil sport of baseball to stay overnight. It just goes to show what three good Commissioners of Baseball in a row can do to clean up a sport.

I do not know whether or not too many of yon have noticed it. but the freshmen that also have athletic ability are about as numerous as those comprising any class here on campus.

It isn’t as noticeable as it was two years ago when, what are now juniors, came in and practically dominated the sports scene.

There was a good team when they showed up this fall, but still many of them saw action in football and the other night in the "B" team basketball game at Bethany. "Woody" used a team composed entirely of freshmen and they clicked off good together.

Times Are Set For Intramurals

The Girls Intramurals schedule for Tuesday, Feb. 10 is as follows:

6:30—Grove vs. Powell— Timer. Widegren: Scorer. Burkholder — Officials. Baker. Merkey.

7:15—Lou than vs. Sigle— Timer. Beck: Scorer. Berry;—Officials. W. Jones, Powell.

8:00 Merkey vs. Wine— Timer. Hale. Scorer Hooper;— Officials Louthan. Christensen.

8:45 —McLeod vs. Baker —Timer. Kerley. Scorer. Kerley; Officials Coppock, Wine.

No intramural games were played this week, due the conflict of many going to the Youth Seminar.

Bulldogs Upset Bethel 59-46

It was the Bulldog's gome from start to finish last Friday night when they downed the Bethel Gray-maroons by a score of 59-46.

Mac gained five points before Bethel even registered. The Bulldogs were ahead at the end of the first quarter by a score of 19-11.

In the second quarter. Mac chalked up 14 points, while the Gray-maroons tipped in 13 points for Bethel. The halftime score stood in favor of the Bulldogs, 33-24.

The Macollege Bulldogs scored 13 points in the third and fourth quarters each.

The Bulldogs did a good job of holding Don Harder. Bethel College's third ranking scorer In the Kansas Conference to 14 points. Prior to Friday night’s game. Harder had averaged 19.8 points per game.

Wayne Blickenstaff and Bethel’s Homer Goering led the individual scoring with 17 points each. Gene Smith and Carl Metsker each had 11. McPherson    Fr    Ft    F
