BOTH “y” cabinets

MEET TOGETHER

Wed,Oct.30- The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. cabinets held a joint meeting in the Y.W. room at six-thirty this evening. Reverend Rufus Bpwman of Elgin, Illinois, who is conducting the revival meetings at the Brethren Church met with this group. Emery Metzger, president of the men's Association opened the meeting with orayer and introduced Rev. Bowman who gave an inspira-tional talk on personal envangeliza-tion after which he held a discussion with the members of the Cabinets on personal problems and religious per-plexities.

Mon., Nov. 4—In an Interview with our evangelistic, Rev. Rufus Bowman, he commented very favorably upon the religious attitude of the student body. Many of them are taking an active Interest in the meetings, and are thinking seriously upon the greatest realities of life.

reverend Bowman comes to us from Elgin, Illinois where he has been serving for the past six weeks as General Secretary of the Board of Religious Education. In this capacity he meets leaders of the the Brethren church from all parts of the country.

Reverend Bowman believes in his work of evangelization through edu-cation because he believes in young people. Young people are seeking for a rational religion, or in other words they are not satisfied with a man's conception of God and a child's con-ception of the universe. Young people give attentive ears to the discussion of the great realities of life. They re-spond to worthy challenges. They like big tasks.

ION HELD IN KANSAS CITY

Kansas City, Kan,, Nov. 1—A very pleasant reunion of McPherson College alumni was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F, S. Hoover, 3040 Ruby street this evening. A six o'clock dinner was served to a group of teachers attending the State Teachers Convention and other M, C. students of Kansas City.

There were no formal toasts But our Alma Mater, the alumni, teaching and personal friends were among the subjects of conversation.

God is interested in our desires and everything which concerns us even as an earthly father in interest-ed in what concerns his children.

God knows what we want and need even before we ask but he can not give unless we have the will to recieve. Prayer changes man's attitude not God's. Prayer is temperament. disposition, attitude. The proper at-tituade is "Thy will, not mine be done".

As Nin-inger neared Mexico City he said the roads became a little better and he saw no reason for giving up the trip.

The professor and his interpreter are receiving much attention from the natives. The American way of camping is strange to them, and Nin-inger says that their conveniences are more than the native ruralist has.

Mr. Nininger told the scientists at the college in Mexico City where they could find a meteorite that fell in 1878. The next day it was found and one of our already famous professors gained more renown because of his careful study and observation.

He will be in Mexico City election day, but says that in case of any dis-turbances he will be well protected from danger.

Faculty Advisor .. Prof. Maurice A. Hess

About a thousand years ago some one remarked that athletes had strong backs and weak minds. Since then numerous persons have continued to peddle that remark, around as something quite clever and original. I should like in any right here that In present-day athletics the weak-minded. strong-backed fellow wouldn't get to first base. The stiff competition found In all athletes circles requires the keenest intelicts for quick decisions and quick action. If the Casual Observer knew anything at all about athletics he would know that to be a fact.

If one should remove the entire M Club from our school, he would find that with that organization would go a group of loyal, clean living, clean thinking men who are unselfish giving a great deal of themselves, their time, and their energy for the betterment of their college. I feel I am In a position to know whereof I speak. The M Club DOES stand for better ath-letics lt DOES stand for better relations among the men in McPherson College, If they have fulled in their goal they are no more responsible than is Mr. Casual Observer, The high Ideals of fellowship, to achieve results, must come from non-letter men as well as letter-men.

One thing more: i doubt If any member of the M Club would write the type f article such as I have referred to and sign lt merely "Casual Observer". To quote from a recent chapel speech—"If you can't say some-thing complimentary about a person, don't say something uncomplimentary behind his back". This refers to a group as well as to an Individual. If Casual Observer, you had the courage or your convictions. why didn't you come out In the open and In all honesty sign your name?—GEORGE GARDNER

"M" CLUB—A PART OF THE "SCHOOL OF QUALITY"

Be it therefore agreed that certain great benefits are derived from the wearing of freshmen capse.

The friend of the opposition has condemned the method used by the M" Club in carrying out the "cap rale" but has offered no other method except to treat with respect, and motivate through social approval or dis-appvoval Perhaps boys are extremely different than girls, but the Woman's Athletic association asked the freshman girls kindly, to wear their caps, and they did for at least one week.

If we want freshmen to wear caps some group must see that all wear them (Such a group should have the majority approval at the whole student body). Perhaps the "M" Club is as logical an organisation for this task as any other on the campus.

As for those "weak minded" "M" Club men. some of them are of the finest type men on the campus, and some of them do not reach this standard: but why condemn all "M” Club men? An exclusive group is one which is able to prevent others front entrance. Who has not been al-lowes to enter the "M" Club, if he has met the requirements set by the

State Athletoc Board _

To a largo degree it has been “M" Club men who have advertised our "School of Quality". Their influence has been felt throughout the state and nation. Let us see these men as Individuals (and not as an organiza-tion) and not as athletes always; perhaps If we try we can see deeper than their red sweaters and discover a few who are not paddle swinging, belt hunting marons.

If he got In a hurry and shoved you out of his way simply because he did not care to go around, or patiently wait until you passed on, would you tender him even scant respect? Absolutely, not.

Last Sunday morning practically fifty students of McPherson College professed Christianity during the church services. Rev. Bowman is to be commanded on his great work.

The fact that at one meeting a group of college students should give their lives for the sake of God, for the betterment or their neighbors and for the complete spiritual understanding of themselves is one satisfaction that modern youth Is not going to the "dogs" and that Christanity as a whole, is securing a deeper grip on the hearts of the rising generation.

Due to my close association with, and interest in, the M Club, I (eel it more or less my duty to come to the defense of that organization after reading the editorial "Ye Freshman Caps" written by a self-styled Casual Observer in the last Issue of the SPECTATOR. I am taking lt for granted the afore mention editorial was written by a boy, because I find it hard to believe a girl would write an article about something which can be readily seen does not concern her in any way,

It is my personal belief that the large majority or freshmen do not object to wearing their caps. It is usually the small group of smart-Alecks found in every class who refuse to be sports enough to follow school pre-cedent and so are peddled. While I do not particularly condemn paddling I have yet to discover any other method which has achieved the desired result, either in this school or say other school. Perhaps Mr Casual Ob-server has Insight (which he thinks islacking in the M Club) enough to produce a workable plan. I do not think the M Club members believe them-selves to be an "exclusive group¹', nor do they have the feeling of super-ioroty attributed to them: neither do I believe they have refused to allow say individual the right to exercise his doe “rights and privileges" in any school affair. Some very strong friendships in college have been formed between letter-men and non-letter-men.

COLLEGE OF THIS AGE IS SAFE FOR BOYS AND GIRLS

Ideas cherished their elders, may not be such a bad lot after all, In fact, study of the subject is leading to the suspicion that in some respects

they may be equal In morals and selfrespect, and certainly freer and more independant.

There is smoking and drinking and sex irregularity In the colleges, but they are Infinitely less prevalent than

many persons have been led to be-lieve. A most thorough search falls to disclose more than a fractional per cent of college girls guilty of improper conduct—not more than one tenth of one per cent.

Much noise has been made over a few isolated examples found, but the bulk of the talk is hearsay and ram-or. Each college has heard that the neighboring college has had some trouble, and the neighboring colleges return the compliment. It is like it mirage that disappears as one ap-proaches it.

Regarding drinking, which has come to be considered a college prob-lem since the advent of prohibition, there is a pretty general agreement that drinking In all parts of the coun-try is not only less than In prepro-hibition days, but that it is definit-ely on the decrease In the last four or five years

The police in most college towns agree that drinking by students Is on the decrease. While some boys con-sider it collegiate to drink, the decline in the practice is attributed chiefly to the students themselves, and especially the coed. The girls take a definite stand gained drink-ing by their escorts at college func-tion, and refused to go with those who do. The result is that social pressure is exerted on those who might otherwise be Inclined to drink,

Regarding the diversions known aa "necking" and "Petting" there Is actually less of it in college circles

than among the young men and women in the ordinary social life of the towns and cities In the country.

upper-class college girls seemed to, be the rather patronizing one that freshmen are apt to Indulge in it because they think it is collegiate and smart, but they soon get over that.

In fact. the question was not found among college students to be one that they fell was worth getting excited about, The majority of college ‘Pet-lting" was found to be a comparative-

or affection rather than an outlet of a furtive and secret thing likely to be dangerous, modern college “'pet-ting" has emerged into the light and ly Indifferent expressions of friendship is not regarded as something to be

ashamed of.

Smoking is found to be fairly pre-valent in colleges, both among men and women One of the chief objec-tions are considered to be the danger that girls who had not acquired the habit would do so If continually sur-rounded by others smoking. The stu-dents themselves met that objection by voting to limit it to certain special rooms or parts of the campus.

One other question of college life. that of the possible lessoning, of re-ligion as a force among the students the Institute of Social and Religion Research found the 50 per cent of the students in twenty-three colleges investigated (practically) all nonsec-tarian) attended church regulary and 37 per cent more occasionally. Fifty-seven per cent found religion a larger force In everyday experience by senior year than it had been when Whereas formerly "spooning" was

THE BAKER “WILDCATS"

Bladwin, Kan.. Nov. 1 —The Baker University Wildcats defeated the Mc-Pherson College Bulldogs 7-6 here this afternoon after overcoming the visitors early lead.' The game was full of thrills from the. very begin-ning the bulldog crew scoring within the first half dozen plays as a result of a Wildcat fumble. Miller's place kick won faulty for the third time this season out of twelve tries. Baker then came back and almost as quickly scored on the Buldogs and by outwitting their opponents added the winning point by plunging over the line through the tackle. Twice during the latter part of the game the Bulldogs placed the ball on Baker’s 4-yard line only to be held by the stubborn Wildcats, and twice they attempted to make a goal from the field but failed. This game spoiled all the bulldog hopes of becoming confer-^ence champions this season.
