TWO NEW WAR BOOKS RECEIVED BY LIBRARY

Fri.. Nov 8—Two new books were received at the library today that Will be of interest to a large number of students. The popular war fiction "All Quiet On the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque unit "War— Behind the Smoke Screen" by Wil-

liam C. Allen

“All Quiet On Thu Western Front” is an “unsparingly realistic account of the lives and deaths of a group of

German boys on the Western front, the reader sense the tragedy of a whole generation blighted by the War"

"War—Behind The Smoke Screen" is a "picture of modern warfare In all Its folty and futility, lt is a ter-rible warning to ecclesiastical sys-teks, which have been all too easily bewitched by a false nationalism.

Two new magazines are being re-ceived by the library " Practical Home Economics and “The Par* ents.\


The all school essay contest "The College Youth and His Worth", closed Friday evening.

5.30. No manuscripts were sub--

mitted.

We regret to say that appar-ently such a contest is not the desire of the students. It may have been that the contest came

to a close during examination week. It may have been that the cash prizes were not large enough to warrant a student en-tering.

Many students made inquiries about the contest and expressed their desire to compete- evi-dently their desires did not ma-terialize — We thank you.

Tues., Nov. 6-—"The Life we want and of which we are capable", was the topic discussed In Y. M. this morning.

A happy life is our goal according to Murlin Hoover. We may attain it by three methods:

The first is through freedom —to search for truth and to do creative thinkingc.

The second Is through a vonture-some spirit—-follow where truth leads, uphold right against wrong and dare to serve.

A significant dream of life- a hope In the future, and a proper relation to realiiy is the third. Religion a necessary part of a happy life Is embodied in the relation to reality for it means being a son of God, a brother of men. and the master of nature.

Milton Early showed that Christ lived a happy life for he followed these methods. He therefore becomes our example.

REV. BOWMAN SPEAKS

DURING CHAPEL PERIOD

Fri., Nov 8 The chapel address delivered this morning by Rev. Rufus Bowman was a message of unusual appeal. belief and extremely timely in the life of every student.

“If I were to take my college work over". Rev. Bowman stated, "I would make better use of my time. I would put studies first and activities sec-ond. I would live a constant Chris-tian life. I would give the teachers credit for knowing more than I, and I would be more appreciative of the folks back home".

The college quartet sang "The Old Road", " Nola", and "Standin' In The Need Of Prayer".

   MONDAY WAS THE ELEVENTH

Eleven years ago Monday the "war to end war" was brought to a close.Was is a "war to end war"? The Allies won the war. the Germans were defeated. Who really knows who won that great catastrophe? Temporary peace is fixed. Is it not up to us to make ir permanent? “Peace on Earth goodwill toward men”.    


FOOTBALL IN GENERAL McPHERSON IN PARTICULAR

A few weeks ago a sweeping Indictment of college football was made In a bulletin issued by an Investigating commission of the Casengle foundation for the advancement of teaching. An Investigation covering a period of three and one-half years, found that few colleges and universities are guiltless of the charge of proselyting. Educational Institutions from coast to coast are directly accused of persuading prominent athletes to Attend and of paying these men, directly or Indirectly, for their athletic ability Out of 112 educational institutions visited by representatives of the Carnegie foundation, only 28 were found guiltless of the accusation of subsid-izing athletes.

What could make a greater single blot upon the sports of McPherson College If a fact was brought to light that members of out football team were playing the game as paid players? lt would mean a general commer-cialization of amateur spots. Amateur sports would not be amateur sports. College athletics would become professional The spirit of the limitation would fall, pure and unadulterated sports would become a member of that great tribe of the past—antiquity.

At no times as is generally understood, has there ever been a"Bulldog" athlete who hat not played for his Alma Mater, for the sake of his school spirit, and for the sake of clean unadulterated sports. Are we to keep the name of McPherson College clean and clear from all such "‘pay checks” of material victories over the common cause of modern athletic? Or are we to establish a code of ethics that states: "Do as the other institutions do, play your game on the back of a check book? Put do oilier Institutions pay their athletic heroes? The Carnegie Foundation has states that some colleges pay their athletes.


   DAY IS DYING IN THE WEST

Autumn leaves have turned and summer's last gasp in field and wood is echoed throughout the shortening days. The tinted leaves are falling thick and fast, to cover the wrinkled sphere of Mother Earth beneath a carpet of nature's last enduring thrust at summer.

The far fetched absorbing breezes of weeks ago resemble once again the theory of Twice Told Tales of God's most recent quest for life in youth. Summer—the highest peek In one's attainment has triumphed o'er the dream of Spring. And now, once more the harvest season has reached its senith to repeat the feeding of the old. Whose life is spent and wearing out, whose dreams are those of pleasures least forgot, whose hour of sat-isfaction through the grace of God has come.

The hour is drawing near, how fast the fading light is dwindling, how thick the leaves are covering, the very soul of nature has paid its price, has spent its worth. There they are, the spindled frames of blackened arms, their leaves of beauty have departed with the memory of a wonder-ous life. The Ivy vines of climbing beauty cling to the bleak old walls like some mysterious serpren whose life has faded as the superstitious of his

time.

Natures youth is ripe old age is beauty. Heaaty in death. Below the wrinkles of a spent season there is beauty. The text leaf clings as If In hesitated prayer, Its meditated thoughts rush out and meet the darkening sun. Its life is fading. Its beauty renouned . The earth darkens—its billows roar— the wind crashes—the snow files thick—the grip of winter tightens down—the last leaf has fallen. The day Is dying In the west.


THOSE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS


On the evening of September 10 the men of Fanestock Hall drew up a number of rules governing study hours and privileges with musical in-struments. At this meeting the men agreed that musical instruments and portables were to be played In the afternoon and In the evening from 10:00 till 10:30. After ten-thirty In the evening musical instruments were not to be heard.

Of late, a visitor in the men's dormitory would be greeted with the melancholy wall of a portable, during the so designated time for text book Meditation Are the reactions of a thought so uncertain and no forethought given in their construction to warrant their being obeyed. Why have a rule, but is it not a duty or privilege instead of a rule. If we will not obey its

It is true, the more rules and regulations that are placed upon us the more apt we are to disregard them.

STAFF REPORTER MAKES SURVEY OF

KITCHEN, COMPILES STATISTICS

Students Are Compiled


"I just know that old scale isn't any good: Why, I've gained five pounds since yesterday morning: It isn't possib;e, declared the little

freshman blonde.

"Well, I haven't eaten potatoes or bread all week and I weigh three

pounds more than I did", her side-kick replied.

"Oh, those dormitory eats?"

But what about "those dormitory eats"? Just how much do the one

hundres thirty-five students who board on the dormitory eat? Ah, Fair

Muse, grant this pen holder the wisdom of the mathematician, the fore-

sight of the dietcian, and the expression of the rhetorician. How many

calories are required by these pedants (?) and how many are actually

recieved?


Dietician declare that the average

student required between 2300 and

3000 calories of heat per day. (A cal- ories, you know, is the amount of heat required to change the temperature

of one gram of water one de-

gree centigrade). At this rate 135

students need 371,230 calories daily or 2,598,750 weekly Perhaps the following statistics

concerning the food devoured in the dining hall weekly will account for the consumption of a few extra calories

Bread, 280 loaves, 420,000 calories

Biscuits and Rolls, 2800, 210,000

Pickles, 3 gallons

Syrup, 7 gallons 10,500 calories Potatoes, 14 bushels, 253,400 calories

Apples, 7 bushels 89,000 calories Breakfast food, 91 boxes, 24,500 calories.

Meat, 245 pounds, 196,000 calories

Cabbage, 100 pounds 14,700 calories

Pie,50, 50,000 calories

Cake, 8, 17,000 calories

Cookies, 250, 18,750 calories

Catsup, 3 gallons.

Beans, 40 pounds, 12,000 calories

Jello, 18 packages

Lettuce, 20 pounds, 100 calories

Canned Fruit, 24 gallons, 24,000

calories

Oranges, 240. Grape Fruit, 70.

Milk. 140 gallons, 224,000 calories Salt, 14 pounds

Jelly, 5 gallons, 80,000 calories Apple butte, 5 gallons, 80,000 calories

Eggs, 30 dozen, 36,000 calories A total od 2,612,550 calories per week—In say nothing of the spinach,vinegar, cocoa, coffee, chilli crackers and chees! Oh yes, and the between-meals candy bars, occa-cional boxes from home, and pop corn foods.

Nothing is as fluent in convincing as statistics, according to statist-

tians. It is therefore very evident that the 27,800 excess calories taken in by tge 133 dormitory students

( 300 calories per capita per week) together with the pickles, grape fruit abd accessories served to in-

crease the avoidupois of the popu-lation.

Ye skinny maids and lanky lads will find solace in the syrup pitcher, the sugar bowl, and the oreo plate For those who desire to reduce the vinegar jug offers comfort (For further reference see "Your Weight and How to Control It" by Fishbein and others)

INVESTIGATE POSSIBILITIES OF AN ALUMNI PUBLICATION

Dean R. E.Mohler and Prof. G. N. Boone, appointed by the Alumni As-sociation are working on the possi-blilties of editinh and publication an alumni magazine.

The two men appointed by the as-sociation have been making inquiries among the respective classes and dif-ferent colleges and universities of the nation.

Eight recent classes have been in-formed of the present possibilities of such a magazine. Replies have been recieved from seven of these classes Five were definitely in favor of the magazine. Two were in favor of the association publication but desired to publish their own class paper along with the magazine.

There is practically no question in the minds of those making the inves-tigation that the venture will be a financial success. Prof. Boone states that the roughlt estimates cost of such a magazine with thousand cir-culation would be from four hundred to five hundred dollars a yeae if the

magazine was issued quarterly.

It has been suggested that the editing be in the hands of the secre-tary of the association, directly or

indirectly, and that each graduating class appoint or elect an associate ed-itor, who will be responsible for news from hsi class.

There is a possibility that the alumni association might be able to cooperate with the college manae-ment in one issue of the College Bull-

letin.

The girls discussed hiking and con-sidered organizing hiking groups but because of the difficulty in choosing a time suitible to all, they decided nothing definite.

Doris Ballard, president, then re-viewed an article in the current in-

tercollegian embodying the present

states of women's athletics after

which the group adjourned.

A sport style show will be the out-standing sttraction of the organiza-tion's next meeting.

BULLDOG RESERVES WIN FROM HUTCHINSON TEAM

Anderson Proves To Be A Yard Gainer For The McPherson Team

BULLDOGS 6, HUTCHINSON 0

Anderson Scores Touchdown For M. C. In The Last Period

Hutchinson. Kan,. Tues, Nov. 5 The McPherson College Reserves

forced the Hutchinson Junior College footbal team down In defeat by a score of 6 to 0 on the local athletic field beneath the powerful floodlights tonight. For the Bulldog Seconds it was a feature game, being their first game with the bright lights and for the Scarlet and Blues it was their first defeat on their own field this season, The young, Bulldogs threatened to score several times but about the time they were ready to carry the ball across the line they found the Salt City team to stiffen their defence enough to turn progress In the other direction.    -

The first half of the game was played on about even terms with the McPherson team having a slight ad-vantage but the second half saw the Bulldogs ride all over Hutchinson in every fashion, making nine first downs to their opponents’ none. On the final drive with each team score-less. Anderson, freshman halfback who is showing himself to be a second Nonken, was used to carry the oval for the Canine team, making two 20 yard runs In succession and finally carried it over the line for the touchdown that constituted the margin of victory;

Cecil Anderson, Bradley and Lytle, Bulldog backfielders did most of the halt tugging for McPherson and all showed up well for their first game at night.


they are going to go into the game and make Sterling suffer the most severe punishment they ever received at the hands of a Canine crow. Sterling has been going strong this year. 'They defeated the Swedes In a season's opener this year and Just last week they went to Missouri and defeated the strong Teacher's team at Springfield 21 to 0. The Barrellmak-ers make up a fast travelling: team and when matched against the speedy Bulldogs, a fine array of flashy foot-ball can be promised.


THE DOPE BUCKET

By the Sport Editor


Just sixteen days remain until we play the Swedes, It won't be long now until our Scandinavian friends front the north must go down once more in defeat. This time it will be the fault of the Bulldogs and not the

Coyote. The Swedes seemed to he winning all their games on lucky breaks this season which evidently made them feel, stronger than they really were when they met the Coyotes last Friday, The Wesleyans held the Blond eleven so well that they never got any closer than the 20-yard line from their goal and that happen-hun a Coyote fumbled thu ball.

On the other hand the ball was usually carried by Rupel Perkins, negro backfielder for the Coyotes, and he

literally run rings around the opposition.

Kansas Wesleyan has a mighty fine chance to take the Kansas conference title this year. Her real fear should lie with Baker, for a defeat at the hands of the Orange men would mean that the title will likely go to last year’s champions.    '

instead of the Swedes trying to stop one Perkins in their game here on Thanksgiving Day they will find that McPherson has four fellows equally as difficult to hold In the pursuits of Nonken, Miller, Bigham. and Barngrover, and the Bulldog line is hander to penetrate than a stone wall. The whole thing seems to point to a Bulldog victory in the annual grudge battle this year.


A freshman was overheard to say the other day: “The only exercise I

get is when I push myself away from the dinner table".

STERLING HERE FRIDAY

Tues , Nov. 12- The next time

Coach Gardner trots McPherson Col-

lege's Bulldog eleven onto the grid-iron it will be on the local athletic field this next Friday afternoon with the Red and Blue fellows from Ster-ling furnishing the opposition. For some time In the past the Barrelmak-ers have managed to emerge victor-ious from conflicts in football with the Bulldogs, but things seem to be upset this year and the turmoil in the Bulldog camp caused by their stinging defeat at the hands of Baker two weeks ago simply means that
