Fries- en's Discovery DISCOVERY IN COLORADO Newton, Kan., Mar. 26.-Prof. A. P. Friesen of the physics department of Bethel College through recent research work has contributed a discovery of a new theory of the rectifying action of thelaluminum cell which has been rec- ognized by the scientific world. This Bethel faculty member has been modest about his research work, and so reticent that it became known publicly only recently when an abstract of his new theory was published in February, 1929, in the Physical Review, and a re- cent bulletin of the American Physical Society. More Satisfactory Way .Men like Guthe, Gunther, Schulze, Fitch and Meserve had worked out a theory, known as the oxide layer, gas film. This, however, did not account for all facts, according to science. ' The new theory discovered by Profes- sor Friesen is the double layer, one layer of oxide and one layer of hydroxide. This the. scientific world recognizes as ex- plaining inl a more satisfactory way, all results which have been examined thus far of the theory of the electrical char- acteristics of the aluminum cell. The first experimentation which led to the'new theory was begun by Profes- sor Friesen at Bethel College in 1928, and it was while working on his masters de- gree at the University of Colorado under Dr. Pientenool that the discovery was made. The results of the research work of Bethel's scientist, were presented to the American Physical Society by Dr. Pientenool. He was admitted as an associate mem- ber to the Colorado chapter of the Sigma XI, a scientific society to which only scholars may become members who have made totally new contributions in some phase of scientific research. Comment on Endurance The professors at the University of Colorado commented on the endurance of the Kansas man who spent so many hours in the laboratory, that were neces- sary to make the discovery, and he ad- mits that he seldom occupied the bed in his room during the summer months, since it was necessary that he be in the laboratory to make inspections and read- ings. Some conception may be had of this tedious research work, when it is known that he spent nine consecutive days and nights in laboratory. Some times the readings tests were a matter of seconds and then at other times his alarm clock would waken him at intervals of two hours. In this way he also discovered that the rectifying reaction was at dif- ferent intensity at different times. This is a phenomenon, according to the scien- tific world, that no other scientist had discovered. Professor Friesen is continuing his re- search work in Bethel, and the college is being congratulated on having such a well equipped man in his field. Many of Bethel's professors have been spending the summer in advance study. Prof. J. H. Doell, Prof. W. H. Hohmann, Prof. A. D. Schmutz, Miss Elsie Ester, and Prof. G. R. Gaeddert were all study- ing in Chicago during the summer. Prof. J. J. Voth took work in Pittsburg, Kans., and Miss Chalcea White in Columbia University, New York City. Prof. J. E. Linscheid studied at Oberlin college, Oberlin, Ohio, and Prof. J. D. Epp at Minneapolis, Minn., while Prof. A. War- kentin continued his work at Kansas Uni- versity which he had previously begun. Three master's degrees have been earned by Bethel's professors during the summer. Prof. D. H. Richert and Prof. A. P. Friesen each received the degree of Master of Arts at Boulder, Colorado, and Prof. W. H. Hohmann received his Master's degree in Music where he at- tended in Chicago. This outline of the summer activities of Bethel's professors shows that they are a progressive and enterprising group. Such a faculty must necessarily help to strengthen the standing of the institu- tion, and increase its efficiency very ma- terially.-Bethel Collegian. MU PHI EPSILON HONORS BETHEL ORGAN TEACHER Miss Olga Hiebert went to Emporia Saturday, March 16, to be formally in- itiated as a charter member into Mu Phi Epsilon, a national music sorority. She thereby becomes a member of an organ- izationlthat stands for highest standards in music. Twenty One I 1929 I 0 x GRAY MAP. 00N ,j k I f e N EWTON CLUBS MET I BETHEL FORUM C. of C., Lions and Rotarians Discussed Bethel at Meeting Tuesday Bethel College was the main topic that was discussed at a joint forum meeting of the chamber of commerce, the Lions' club, and the Rotary club, held last Tues- day evening, Jan. 22, at the Christian church. The Bethel College committee of the chamber of commerce, composed of H. G. Hawk, chairman, R. A. Goerz, and R. L. Hogan, had arranged the meeting. The ladies of the church served a very delic- ious dinner. The group led by Si Brown did some community singing and the Bethel College men's chorus directed by Prof. Hohmann sang a group of three numbers and an encore. The president of the chamber, Everett McCann, who presided at the meeting, turned the main part of the meeting over to Mr. Hawk. The first speaker was President J. W. Kliewer, who spoke of the financial con- dition of the college. He told of the re- quirements which a college must meet in order to remain an accredited college. To be credited by the North Central asso- ciation of colleges, a college must have an endowment fund of S,S500,000 for an enrollment of 200 and 350,000 more for an additional enrollment of 100. Bethel's endowment including pledges is at pres- ent S392,000. The buildings and equip- ment are valued at approximately S747,000, making a total of SS1,139,000. When the college was located here in 1893 the city of Newton made a pledge of S100,000 which was never redeemed. Campaigns put on in Newton in 1922 and 1926 brought a total of 5B70,000. Other colleges receive from local sources much larger sums of money than New- ton has ever contributed to Bethel. A college is a great asset to a city. The college brings a number of people to Newton, who, were it not for Bethel, would not reside here. A college town invariably offers attractions to home seekers which other towns do not have. The moral and intellectual atmosphere of a college town is usually on a higher level than that of other towns. Many of Twenty-Two - :VI Newton's young people would not go on to college were it not for the fact that Bethel is situated here in Newton. Stu- dents from Newton who are going to col- lege save a great amount of money by going to Bethel. Revenue reecived from students does not defray one-half of the expenses of the college. The money needed to cover the rest of the expenses of the college has to come from some- where. Why should not Newton assume its just share of expenses of the college, for the benefits which it receives from Bethel are great and many. Students spend fully S100,000 in Newton every year. A college does much to advertise a city. Students going to Bethel come from a number of different communities. This tends to bring a great many shop- pers to Newton. Dr. F. L. Abbey, Rev. W. V. Burns and Rev. Harold E. Dickins spoke on the value of Bethel College to Newton from the standpoint of character building, starting young people out on the correct pathway of life and keeping the young people under the influence of home guid- ance. The men and women in charge of Bethel's faculty, their work and activi- ties were spoken of as being of the high- est type of Christian leaders. All of the remarks which were made were enthus- iastically received. No action was taken at the meeting nor any formal plans made. Very likely a financial campaign will be undertaken. The Bethel College com- mittee of the Chamber of Commerce will be enlarged. A sum of between 875,000 and S100,000 ought to be produced in or- der to put over Bethel's endowment fund and place the college on a firm financial basis. This will give everyone the as- surance that Bethel's constructive pro- gram will be maintained at the highest possible degree of efficiency, that the equipment will meet the demands of modern education, and that students may rely upon the fact that their work will be fully accredited and their opportuni- ties for advancement along constructive lines will be unhampered. If the people of Newton were offered an industry that would turn in over 3100.000 profit a year into the commun- ity, by expending one year's such profit, they would grasp the opportunity with- out delay. Bethel College is an enter- prise which does this. Are the people of Newton going to let the privilege of having an institution which helps the moral, intellectual and financial progress of the city and its vicinity escape? The answer to this question will be given us at the end of the campaign.-Bethel Collegian. 2.9 :- , 1 9 L x. f ,, , N ,wg ,. ,a f '4 , Q X i n 1 N 42:7 A T E W' 4. 515 , 3 K q s .'Lf'l ' ffl ix f V32 5 ,- ' W N!

SENIORS GIVE BA QUET BY FRO H Wednesday Evening the Gym Was Scene of a Beautiful Indoor Garden A beautiful indoor garden was the dec- oration scheme carried out by the Bethel College Freshmen when they entertained the Newton High School Seniors Wednes- day evening in the gym. The ceiling and walls were completely covered with green branches, and vari-colored Japanese lan- terns were an effective means of light- ing. In the center of the room was a large fountain surrounded by rocks and moss. The guests arrived about 7:30 and found their places at the prettily ap- pointed quartet tables. Purple and gold, the high school colors, were used in dec- orating the tables. The Croonlanders or- chestra played during the entire banquet. Harold Regier, president of the Fresh- man class, acted as toastmaster, and wel- comed the visitors. Beauford Norris, president of the Senior class, gave the response. After the banquet. Prof. Doell gave an interesting talk. This was fol- lowed by a selection by a male quartet, consisting of Henry Ewert, Sam Thier- stein, Walter Loewen, and Carl Neu- feldt. Pansy Brown gave two clever readings. Miss Edith Whitted, one of the Senior class sponsors next gave a talk. Prof. Graber also made a speech. The last number on the program was another number by the Freshman quartet. After the banquet, the guests were taken over the campus and shown the college. The Freshman class certainly deserves a great deal of credit for managing such a successful affair. They did much to create a feeling of co-operation' between the two schools. Harold Regier was gen- eral chair'man, and the others who helped to make the banquet a success were: en- tertainment, Arthur Waltner, dinner, Selma Flaming, and decoration, Pansy Brown. Ten sophomore girls and ten boys from the sophomore, junior and senior classes served the banquet.-Beth- el Collegian. SENIORS ENTERTAIN FRESHMEN The annual Freshman-Senior party was held last Monday evening. The party was an outdoor affair at Rodenberg's T19 grove, about three miles southeast of Halstead. The grove is situated in a bend of the river which makes a very beautiful spot for an occasion of this kind. It is entire- ly removed from road traffic. So much so, in fact that some of the students could not find the grove. From about five o'clock till dark all kinds of games were played, the chief at- traction being a baseball game which waxed hot till the bat was broken. The refreshments consisted of weiners, buns, pickles and coffee, Watermelon and marshmallows. The weiners were strung on long wires and roasted over a roaring fire. While the fire was dying down the group joined in singing popular songs and dispersed after the singing of the Alma Mater.-Bethel Collegian. FRESHMAN TACKY PARTY SATURDAY Outlandish Costumes Added to the Fun and Frolic of the Evening Tin cans, torn newspapers, and hobo costumes were sources of fun at the freshman tacky party Saturday night. Most of the evening was devoted to stunts. The class was divided into three groups: The Walton School for Crimi- nals. The Buhler Reform School, and The Moundridge School for the Blind. The leaders were Clarence Spangler, Harold Regier, and Sam Thierstein, res- pectively. Each group demonstrated its ability along musical and oratorical lines. Professor and Mrs. Doell acted as judges and announced The Walton School for Criminals led by Clarence Spangler, as the winner. Refreshments consisting of fruit and meat sandwiches, cake, Eskimo pies, and candy cigars were served at the close of the evening. Selma Flaming had charge of refreshments. Art Waltner had charge of the entertainment and Edith Kuhns of decorations. Helen Yergler and Sam Thierstein were given prizes for the best costumes. An elderly gentleman to Porky Haury: What do you mean by bringing my daughter in at this hour? Porky: Why I got to be at work at three. Prof. Tieszen: What countries are on the other side of the Jordan ? Kuehny: That depends on which side of the Jordan you are. Rudolph Klassen tells us that his folks are very superstitious. They never sleep thirteen in a bed at their house. Thirty Z .9 -Five A GRAY MAHQQN .

Eitzen Vice President Herbert Wiebe Secretary - Hazel Kitch Treasurer - Paul Kliewer In 1917 the Student Activity Council was organized at Bethel College. The pre- amble tothe constitution of the organization states the spirit and purpose of the council: We, the students of Bethel College, feeling that the need of a representative body to manage certain student enterprises, and recognizing the inherent right of a student body to govern itself, do hereby organize and establish this constitution as the organic law of our executive and legislative body of students by the name of Student Activity Council. The council is composed of eleven members, who are elected at large by the entire student body. Among those elected to council membrship for this year, four were seniors, three were juniors, two were sophomores, and two were freshmen. The constitution stipulates that the council shall have a regular meeting once a month besides the special meetings which shall be called for the management of nec- essary business. The business of the organization includes the supervision of all the interests of the student body, such as debate, oratory, extempore speaking, all school glaiy, intercollegiate athletics, and the editorships of the Graymaroon and the Bethel o egian. A great deal of responsibility is involved in election to the council because of the wide scope and the variety of its activities. Among the problems of the organization perhaps the greatest are connected with the financial program, which must be so man- aged as to make the different student organizations function on a sound financial basis.

It is under the auspices of the Student Activity Council. The Collegian also appears in the Mennonite Weekly Review. In 1927 it was published as a four-page independent paper, but while it was fairly successful, it did not reach so large a number of people as at present. In the fall of 1927, therefore, it was again published as formerly. The present staff has endeavored to give Bethel students a paper which they can be proud to call their own. If this aim has been but partially realized, members of the staff will feel that their time has been well spent. Forty-Nine , 1929 ,.i-1 6 . Q me AY M A ra o o IJ -f Harms, R.

In the laboratory the student works out scientific theories by practical applicationg principles of social responsibility and community living are practised by participation in student councilg themes and papers are written to develop literary abilityg so religion is made practical among the girls at Bethel through the Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. at Bethel is one of 575 associations of this kind. It is affiliated with the National Y. W. C. A. which in turn is a participant in the World Christian Federation, thus giving the local organization a world-wide interest. The members of the Y. W. C.

With the help of the Y. M. C. A. the Y. W. C. A. is making it possible for a girl from Mexico to attend Bethel. During the previous year a Chinese student was sup- ported by the same groups.

A.'s of the country in the Student Division of the National Council of the Young Men's Christian Association of the United States- of America. The Bethel association has been active to attain its objectives, by fostering fellow- ship among the students on a Christian basis. It has tried to reach beyond the local campus by participating in student conferences, as the Estes Conference and others, which aim to create more unity of spirit among students of the country, and to sur- mount the prejudices that separate men into classes and races. The activities of the Y. M. C. A. on the campus consisted in conducting the Weekly meetings with their varied programs of addresses, music, and discussion groups. Occa- cionally able speakers were secured to discuss vital subjects. Some of these stressed especially vocational guidance, advising and informing students in groups or individu- ally. In spring both Y.'s work together and send out groups of students to the sur- rounding high schools to give programs and make contacts with the high school students. The objective of the Bethel College Y. M. C. A. is to foster a richer life among the students, both independently and in co-operation with other religious organizations on the campus. . 1929 I A GRAY MARGON fi UUE -i si- UI'lU S -s VValtner Mr. Graber Kliewer Richert Rich Pearson Voth M erfs Debate, 19274928 The debate season for the school year 1927-28 was one of unusual success. No ladies' team was formed, consequently interest centered about the men's team which debated in the Southern Kansas Debating League. This league is comprised of South- western College, Wichita University, Friends University, and Bethel College. For the second time in three years Bethel emerged victor in the Southern League. However, in the championship debate with McPherson College, Winner of the Northern Division, Bethel was defeated. Non-League debates were also held with the Southwestern ladies' team and the men's team of College of Emporia. The question under discussion was: Resolved: That the United States should cease to protect by armed force capital invested in foreign lands. The affirmative was upheld by Willis Rich, Anton Richert, and Arthur Waltner, while Gerald Pearson, Paul Voth, and Paul Kliewer supported the negative. The successful showing made by the team was largely attributable to the able coaching of Professor A. J. Graber. Fi t'ty-Two 19 ze gi GRAY MAROON ..

In the early days of Bethel College it was expected that every student belong to a literary society. No coercion was needed to secure members, for joining a society was simply the accepted thing to do, and everyone did it. The strength of the interest in this extra-curricular activity is evidenced by the number of societies organized, by the membership roll, and by the nature of the pro- grams given. Echoes, Vol. I-the 1908 Yearbook-contains a program given by the Belles Lettres Society on which there were twelve numbers including a debate on the question, Resolved that the world is growing worse morally. Especially inter- esting is the fact that after the debate and a musical number, a recess was taken. One who can picture these combats in logic with a fiery Webster pitted against an un- yielding Calhoun may well comprehend the wisdom of a brief adjournment to permit the audience to regain its wonted composure before the remaining numbers on the program were presented. But what would be the outcome were students and friends invited to a similar program on a fine evening of May, 1929? In the 1911 Echoes QVol. IIIJ we find The Senate listed for college men, The Lincoln for academy men, and The Sunflower for all women. The Sunflower met once a week and alternated German and English programs. All of these organizations must have been short-lived, however, for in 1913 we find the Alpha Beta for college women, The Delphian for college men, and two societies each for academy men and women. The Philosophiann and The Athenian came into being as a result of the division of The Lincoln which had grown far too large. The academy women chose between the names Ophelian and Alethian. Two years later Der Lesebund, the Science Club, and the Oratorical Union offered something in addition to the pro- grams of the six literary societies. It is during the years 1913-1916 that the literary society seems to have made its biggest contribution to student life, socially and in- tellectually. After 1916 there are evidences of a slow decline in interest, perhaps one of the many direct results of the World War in Europe. In 1917 the two college societies were still intact, but the academy groups had again reorganized, the two girls' societies combining under the name Kidronian and the two men's societies under the name Excelsior. Things continued thus until in 1922, when energies were once more at a low ebb, some one conceived the idea of injecting new vigor through the stimulus of sex approval, and the two college societies consented to become mixed groups. Results were gratifying-for a time-so marked that in the fall of 1923 a third society was organized under the name Philosophian. The stimulus was only temporary, however, and the downhill trend resulted in complete dissolution of all societies in the spring of 1928. Due to the importance assumed by other extra-curricular activities, athletics in particular, the majority of members no longer cared enough for the literary to devote sufficient time to its interests to maintain the standards once upheld, and it seemed better to discontinue rather than to dishonor the traditions of earlier generations of Bethel students by doing inferior work. Properly used, the college literary society did aid in the development and the future usefulness of its members. In a country of free democratic public life, like our own, the citizen needs to be able to stand on his feet and say his say in a manner that will invite attention and command respect. It often happens that one is asked to preside over some deliberative body, and to do this successfully he needs a fair knowledge of parliamentary usage and the rules governing such assemblies. Nowhere does he have better opportunity to get this training than in a literary society whose proceedings are carefully conducted. It is a bit doubtful whether he can possibly obtain the same benefit elsewhere. Some loss is naturally incurred when we give up the old, yet the new may give us compensations different in kind. Today we have the following specialized clubs: Deutscher Verein, Science Club, Social Science Club, and Music Club-with possibilities for a dramatic club and a writer's club to be added next year.

The organization is open to any faculty member and to any college student who has a satisfactory class record, has three hours of science credit and is carrying at the time at least three hours of science, or shall have completed previously two semes- ters' Work in science. Any person before being admitted to membership in this or- ganization must prepare a paper of not less than 500 Words on some subject of his own choice with a bearing on the subject of natural science. Such a paper must meet the approval of the membership committee and the member of the faculty in whose department it falls before being read to the club. Then he is admitted by a majority vote of the members. The Delta Sigma Club meets bi-Weekly on Wednesday evenings. In order that the members may prepare a good paper they are notified early. The club does much to further interest in scientific subjects and to foster the study of the natural sciences. An important event of the club is the annual banquet which is held in the spring. For this banquet the club obtains as a speaker for the evening a person who is an authority in some field of scientific activity.

Mueller A large number of Bethel students are exhibiting a decided and growing interest in the social sciences. They realize that after all, to be of genuine service to humanity is one of the noblest aims in life. But in order to be of service in this complex world with its social and economic problems, one must first of all have a clear understanding of the problems that confront the nations of the world. To foster the scientific study of social problems and give opportunity for their discussion, the Social Science Club was organized in January, 1929, with its motto Salus Populi Suprema Lex Est. QThe Welfare of the People is the Supreme Lawj. The Social Science Club meets bi-weekly on Monday evenings at seven o'clock. Membership is not limited to college students only, but is open to any one who has completed eight hours of college work in the social science group or shall have com- pleted that many at the end of the current semester. The applicant before being ad- mitted to membership must prepare a paper of not less than fifteen hundred words on some subject of social science approved by the program committee. If the member- ship committee and the member of the faculty in whose department it falls approve the paper, it is read to the club for approval. Fifty-Nine 1 g 9 2. .9 1 E, GRAY MARQQN UUE g .

The study of candidate re- quirements, both through literature from headquarters and in addresses by mission board members, guides our preparations. Interest in the group and in the movement is evidenced on our campus by the addition of five new members who have signed the Declaration Card, as well as by a large group of interested friends. The Bethel group always takes part in the state and national work of the organ- ization. In 1928-29 Dorothy Vesper served as state vice president and D. D.

The play has a clever, fast-moving plot and the characters chosen to produce it performed their parts with ease and ability. Henry Ewert especially is to be con- gratulated, because he had only two days in which to learn his part. Lester Bauer, who had been assigned that role, became ill with the mumps shortly before the play was given. Miss Ruth Royce, instructor in the Newton City Schools, coached the play and left nothing to be desired, as was demonstrated by the applause of the well-filled house which witnessed the presentation.

The Bethel College Men's Chorus, directed by Professor A. D. Schmutz, won second place in the state contest which was held at Winfield, January 30, 1928. Southwestern College won first by a very scant margin. Each club sang the prize song, 'tThe Broken Melody by Sibelius, one choice song, and a school song. The Bethel club held the at- tention of the audience as no other club was able to, when they sang their Alma Mater, composed by Professor Schmutz. The prize song, too, according to the unanimous decision of the judges, was best rendered by the Bethel club. The choice song, The Fatherland, by Damrosch, kept them from taking first place. It has become a tradition for the entire group of contestants to sing We Meet Again Tonight, Boys and Prayer of Thanksgiving by Kresmer. Dean Swarthout of K. U. directed the rendition of these two numbers in 1928. The contest was of a very high order, exhibiting splendid musical ability and keen competition. Professor Schmutz was pleased with the success of his last year's work with the Bethel Chorus, and he expressed his pride in his boys, as he called them, and their accomplishment in the contest. The colleges competing were: Southwestern, Emporia Teachers, Sterling, Friends University, Hays Teachers, College of Emporia, and Bethel. Bethel College has the smallest enrollment of the schools competing in these contests, and friends of Bethel have every reason to be proud of the work that is being done by the Bethel College music dpartment. Owing to its splendid work at Winfield, the Bethel Club was invited to sing as a guest in the Missouri Valley Contest, held in the Forum at Wichita, February 10, 1928. Althought the competition was too keen among these large universities for the Bethel Chorus to place among the winners, it received high Commendation from the audience and judges. The 1929 State Intercollegiate Glee Club contest was held February 1, in Newton, at the city auditorium. The contest again proved very interesting. The Bethel Chorus, directed by Professor W. H. Hohmann, Dean of the Music Department, placed third. Emporia Teachers took second place and Southwestern first. The proceedure was similar to that of the previous year. The competing clubs in 1929 were: Southwestern, Hays Teachers, Sterling, Emporia Teachers, Washburn, Pittsburg Teachers, and Bethel.

In former years the club usually made a trip to the northern states or south to Oklahoma. This year a new plan was adopted. The Mcn's Chorus and Ladies' Choir sang The Seven Last Words by Dubois in surrounding communities and also at sev- eral places in Oklahoma. Numerous concerts were given by the Men's Chorus in nearby communities and the club made several appearances in the city of Newton. The Chorus was host to the intercollegiate glee club contest which was held in Newton this year. Favorable comments were heard wherever the men sang. The organization is undoubtedly a distinct credit to our college. Sixty-Four ' 1 9 Z .9 e u Y 4 GRAY MAROON ,af Riesen, Hohmann. Miller, Schroeder, Goerz, Krehbiel. M.

An interesting secular program of exceptional merit was prepared, as well as mis- cellaneous sacred numbers. The choir appeared in concert at a number of towns and made several local appearances. As usual, they also sang for various clubs and organ- izations in the city of Newton during the year. Owing to the tour of the Double Choruses during Easter vacation, no extensive trip was planned this season, but, judging from the successful appearances in the state and the ensuing favorable comments, this musical organization is recognized as an unquestioned credit to the college. The Bethel College Ladies' Choir is easily keeping pace with the highest standards in beautiful choral singing, and gives its members an invaluable opportunity and experience in this phase of musical performance. Sixty-Five , c1929 B 5 ,5 5 GJQAY MAR oo UUE UUE t c P S c The Seven Last Words of Christi' The Seven Last Words of Christ by Theodore Du Bois, is probably the most effective setting of the story of Christ's passion to be found in the realm of sacred music. In truthfulness, consistency, sympathy, and realism it can hardly be surpassed. The portrayal of the various situations leading up to and culminating in the crucifixion, is made so intense and so impressive that the listener as well as the performer must bow in utter humility before the grandeur and the sublimity of the redemptive work accomplished by our Saviour. This oratorio is given annually by the mixed chorus of Bethel College. The concert is held on Palm Sunday afternoon in the city auditorium. As the crowds which wish to hear the rendition of this beautiful oratorio have been growing uncomfortably large, it was decided this year to repeat the concert in the surrounding towns during Easter vacation. With Miss Haury, soprano, Mr. Allen Stuart of Wichita, tenor, Paul Kliewer, baritone, Miss Hiebert at the piano, and Mr. Hohmann directing, the clubs were en- thusiastically received in ten towns in Kansas and Oklahoma. Mr. Harold Boggess of Newton sang the baritone solos when the concert was rendered in Newton. The towns which were visited were: Halstead, Moundridge, Hillsboro, Goessel, Buhler, Whitewater, Pretty Prairie, and Lamont, Deer Creek, and Medford in Oklahoma.

When pep is manifest in connection with college life, it means a great deal. Beneath the daily grind of lessons and activities there moves a youthful enthusiasm and a feeling of comradeship in worthy ambitions which mark college life. These result in a genuine loyalty that makes the activities of the school move forward. Each believes in his college and is so anxious for her honor that he will sacrifice his own convenience that she may succeed. To foster such a spirit at Bethel there were elected at the beginning of the school year a group of four cheer leaders. They were Hazel Hitch, Helen Ruth, Eldon Froese, and Bush Patton. Hazel Kitch acted as cheer leader during the football season, after which she resigned because of too much work. With the aid of the remaining three there was brought about among the students a general attitude of co-operation and good sportsmanship. Sixty-Seven lg .9 25 g.9 5 :if GRAY MARQON UUE UUE i Lf ' eg.

In the first place, Coach was beginning his first year of directing college football here at Bethel, and in the second place, only six letter men were back. The other members of the squad had to be chosen from a list of inexperienced men. In spite of this two-fold handicap Coach developed a hard-fighting machine. Although the team failed to outscore its opponents, it displayed evidence of marked development under the mentorship of Coach Miller. CAPTAIN WALTER GRABER The team did not elect a permanent captain for the football season, but preferred to let Coach choose a captain for each game. During the season, however, the ability, skill, and aggressiveness of each player was closely observed, and an honorary captain Was elected at the close of the season. This honor was won by Sprig Graber, who played his last year of Bethel football. Sprig was a hard-hitter and a good interference man. His consistent playing combined with his fighting spirit contributed greatly to the morale, as well as to the physical strength of the team.

He has three more years of college football. VAUGHN HUNSAKER, Weight 155, Height 5 feet, 9 inches. Another valuable freshman handicapped by injuries and lack of experience. By the last of the season he was an outstanding passer and a good defensive man, espec- ially on passes. The size of the opposition didn't daunt his spirits. KENNETH NILL, Guard, Weight 170, Height 5 feet, 7 inches. Here was perhaps the outstanding freshman player. He has a courageous fighting heart and excellent ability to diagnose plays. He backed up the line on defense. ln- juries handicapped him greatly, but because he loves the game he wouldn't quit. LESTER BAUER, Weight 175, Height 5 feet, 10 inches. A freshman who gives promise as a good end. He was a regular who showed constant improvement. His weight was an asset in his favor. He showed ability on end around plays. He didn't lack fight. Experience should make him invaluable in the next three years. W. Yoke Hunsaker Nill Bauer Seventy-Three g1929 - GRAY MARQO E.

Gacddert, Epp, A. Gaeddert, Wiebe Football The advent of Coach Miller in 1928 saw the beginning of a new era in Bethel football. The fact that the season's record is most painfully like the records of former years does not argue at all to the contrary. The football season of '28 began with five letter men and twenty freshmen on the football squad. It was not the letter men who augured great things for the future of Bethel football. They did their part and did it Well, but it was not enough. It was the number, the enthusiasm, the fight of the freshmen of '28, the ability of Coach Miller in inspiring and teaching and developing them, many of them innocent of previous knowledge of football, which promises to put Bethel on the football map in the year and years to come. The record of the past football season is not an inspiring one. The inspiration, the hope of better things lay in the promise of the freshmen and in Coach Miller's ability as a football coach and as a man to mold those freshmen into a fighting football machine. While '28 has not been a year of triumph, it has been a year of promise, glorious promise, and we hope and 'trust that Bethel's steps ahead may not have been in vain. Bethel wants a football team, and granted support and sympathy and coach- ing, the men of the season just past will see that they get one.

It was in this first game on the first play that Dutch was set down so thoroughly and painfully that he didn't recover his ambition until the middle of the season. The second game of the' season, played with Baker, was the best game Bethel played all season. Baker won 35 to 05 but they won on breaks. Bethel held the ad- vantage all through, making more yards from scrimmage and completing more passes. Bethel lost the first home game to Sterling 25 to 6. A long pass from Spangler to Willard Yoke resulted in a touchdown for Bethel. Three men tackled Yoke after he caught the pass, but he fought his way across the line in one of the most gallant plays of the season. St. Benedict's, a vastly superior team, beat Bethel at St. Benedict's, 39 to 0. The second home game with McPherson, Bethel's deadly rival, went to McPherson 18 to 0. Bethel's bitterest pill was administered by Arkansas City Junior College in a 13 to 7 defeat. Bethel led 7 to 6 until near the closing minutes of play, when Ark City completed a long pass for a touchdown. The last game of the season was played at Friends in a sea of mud. Island Park lost at least 100 pounds of valuable soil, carried off on the persons and clothes of about fifteen Bethel men. Friends won, 13 to 0, the game ending with Bethel engaged in a fierce drive for a touchdown. The season disclosed no outstanding players, although Spangler showed up well enough in the Friends game to be chosen as fullback on the all-Conference team. Of the host of freshmen, fighters all, who need but experience to develop them, Willard Yoke, Melvin Welsh, Herman Will, Lloyd Holle, Kenneth Nill, Lester Bauer, and Elmer Linscheid played the best, the most consistent ball. Viewed from the outside, Bethel had just another unsuccessful seasong but Coach Miller gave Bethel a solid foundation upon which to build winning football teams. Fifteen men received football letters, of whom only four are seniors. Eleven letter men back next year! This is an outlook that augurs well for the coming season. The men who received football B's are Graber, Schmidt, Kliewer, Wiebe, D. Yoke, Henry Ewert, E. Linscheid, Welsh, Holle, Will, Hunsaker, Bauer, W.

It was brightened, however, by two victories. A victory over the A. A J. H. apprentices and one over St. John's College were the bright spots of the season. Six letter men reported for practice-not a very large nucleus around which to build the team. Fairly good material reported but it was not enough to form a superior eleven. The greatest weakness perhaps was not in the men who formed the first eleven but in the fact that there was not enough reserve strength. It might be well to note that Baker and Kansas Wesleyan led the conference with undefeated teams, hence their large score should be somewhat discounted. The last game of the season with St. Mary's was one of the hardest fought of the season, and it was only by the scantest margin that St. Mary's finally won in the last minutes of the game. Raymond Sheik Moulds was captain of the team. Those who made their sweat- ers and B's were: Arthur Waltner, Clarence Spangler, Dewey Yoke, Henry Ewert, Albert Graber, and Frank Wirt. Those who made B's were: John Buller, Walter Graber, Raymond Moulds, Edwin Harms, Erick Claassen, and Waldo Schmidt. Seventy-Six 1929 GRAY MAROON - A mmm mmm 0'l'l'0 UNRUH WILL BE BETHEL C0 CH Former Bethel Athlete Is Well Known to Alumni and Students With the resignation of Coach Walter Miller as director of athletics at Bethel it became necessary to procure another man to direct the Graymaroon teams on the gridiron and on the court. The Col- legian is pleased to announce that a man has been selected by the board of direct- ors of the college for the position. Otto Unruh, who comes to Bethel as mentor of athletics, is in no wise a stranger to the school. He was graduated from the Bethel academy in 1921, and spent his freshman and sophomore years of col- lege here. Otto D. Unruh has for his home ad- dress Inman, Kansas. He played his first season of basket ball at Bethel under Coach Rudolph Goerz, in 1919, and showed promise for a bright future at the forward position. The next year, un- der Coach Dotson he began to be no- ticed outside of Newton circles as a fast, shifty forward. In 1921, his senior acad- emy year, under Coach Arthur Darling, Unruh led the Bethel team in scoring and narrowly missed an all-star berth. It was in this year that the Bethel five, with Unruh at one of the forward posi- tions, held the state champion Wheat- shockers to a three point victory in the final game of the season. For two years Unruh taught school near Inman, but kept constantly in trim by playing with an independent team there. Returning in 1924 for his final year of collegiate athletics under Coach Haury at Bethel, Unruh helped the school to ring up her record of runners-up in the Kan- sas Conference, and was placed on the first all-state team, selected by the coaches of the conference, at forward. Unruh was commended not only for his speed and floor-play, but also for his ability to connect from the awkward cor- ners of the court, and for his accuracy at batting in shots. With Otto Kliewer, who also received a first all-state team berth, Walter and Rudolph Enns and Harold Goerz, Unruh teamed to form what is undoubtedly the fastest aggrega- tion which ever donned the Maroon and Gray. Mr. Unruh will begin his duties as coach at his Alma Mater next fall.- Bethel Collegian. 1- I 9 i MORGA T0 COACH BETHEL F00'lBALL Will Follow the Style ofirlay Introduced by Coach Miller For many years Bethel has wanted a football team. Last year with the advent of Coach Walter Miller, a football man from a football town, they thought sure- ly, they were getting one. Hopes and conjectures ran high. That the prom- ised football team was not forthcoming is not the fault of Coach Miller. The value of the work he did, the boost he gave to Bethel football will never be rea- lized, but it will nevertheless remain a very real, a very important contribution. He didn't, it is true, build a winning team out of five lettermen and a host of green material, as hardly any coach in the U. S. could have done but he did whip that green material, the freshmen of '28, into the makings of a future machine, and the fact that he couldn't remain to finish his work can hardly be a fault of his. With his resignation a grave dilemma was at hand. The work he had done threatened to go for naught. The appointment of Clifford Fat Morgan as football nlentor was the sav- ing move. A man whom the fellows know and respect. A football coach of un- doubted ability and a player of renown. Clifford Morgan began his football career under Gwinn Henry at the College of Emporia. He played for one year un- der him and the next year made his let- ter under Harold Grant. From there he went to Missouri U. where for three years he played regular center on a team that each year won the Missouri Valley championship. Last year he played pro- fessional football with the steel-workers of Middleton, Ohio, the champions of the Eastern Industrial League. So we'll have a coach at Bethel next year and we'll have the men. Twenty freshmen of 1928 and every one of them a fighter. Unjinxed by the inferiority complex which for years has hovered over Bethel football and football players. The Bethel gridiron next fall will be a real place for high school stars. A place where every man will be considered, for the team will be a new team and a place where football will be played. Making history, the slogan of all Bethel men and of our new Bethel coach, and we'll make it next fall. Seventy-Seven 2 9 c l - :? J i. E: , -. ,., - 5 ivfv 5 U GRAY MARQON COACH WALTER MILLER Coach Miller came to Bethel unacquainted with the school and its customs or its environment. Some of the strongest teams in the state were met both in football and in basket ball. Bethel's opponents invariably remarked about the sportsmanship of Bethel's teams, which reflected directly upon their training' under Coach Miller. He will not be back next year, but his service to the school can not be easily measured due to his short stay of one year. CAPTAIN ALFRED MILLER Captain Al of the Graymaroons played his last year of basket ball for Bethel. He was always a hard fighter and a cool headed player. His team-mates could always depend on him for several baskets and he had a habit of thrilling the spectators with his long accurate shots from guard position.

ADRIAN SHULL-In his first year of' Bethel basket hall, Shull played every minute of every game all 'through the season. He was undoubtedly one of the most val- uable men on the squad. We predict a great future for him in basket ball circles. WALTER GRABEH- Sprig', another of the senior letter men, never equalled in the '29 season his spectacular playing' of the year before. In the games he played he showed the old-time speed and fightg but he never did get hot all season. VAUGHN HUNSAKlflll-Handicapped by illness at the beginning of the season, Dutch did not show up until the tournament, where he was the only Graymaroon to score consistently. 2 Miller Slxull Graber Hunsaker Seventy-Nine 192.2 GRAY MAROON E ,- f E ' -.-.W-mmm..

Schlender, Buller, Miller, Wedel, Graber Basketball, 1928 Taking material which observers thought rather poor, Coach Haury welded it into a smooth-playing team and gave Bethel College a machine which finished third in the conference and was in the championship running until near the end of the season. Three veterans remained from the previous year. They were John Buller, center, and Alfred Miller and Waldo Wedel, guards. These three with Kenneth Schlender, Willard Dettweiler, and Walter Graber, forwards, formed a combination hard to beat. Buller had been re-elected captain, and it was his almost miraculous goal-shooting around which the team was built. He was unanimously elected captain of the all- conference team by conference coaches, a position for which he was eminently fitted by his qualities of leadership and by the fact that he was high score man in the conference. Dettweiler, Schlender, Miller, and Wedel also performed in great fashion. They realized that Buller was the best goal shooter on the team and so fed him the ball unreservedly. Their fine unity of purpose and lack of jealousy made Bethel's record possible. It was a team with a wonderful team spirit. Perhaps the outstanding game of the year was that in which Baker was defeated on the Dotson court by a score of 37-33. At one time Baker led 19-G, but a fighting Graymaroon team, with a never say die spirit in them, fought and passed and shot their way to victory. Everything the boys ever did they displayed that night. Wedel shot long ones, Dettweiler short ones, Buller one-handed ones, and Miller and Schlender passed and played defensively as never before. McPherson, the league championship team, however, they were unable to beat, although the last game at McPherson was so close and so exciting that those who saw it will never forget it. The following earned basket ball letters in 1928: Wedel, Buller, Dettweiler, Graber, Schlender, and Miller. THE SEASON'S RECORD Bethany there - Sterling here ....

Free from confer- ence restrictions, Coach Miller arranged a schedule stiffer than any a Bethel team has ever attempted. To close the season with a percentage of .500 in the face of such a schedule would denote, from a statistical point of view, a highly successful season. A world of good material, much of it from the incoming Freshman class, was avail- able at the beginning of the season. Everything denoted a championship teamg but sickness among other more avoidable things was a hindrance to the highest possible development of the available material. The first game' of the season saw St. John play Bethel on the home court. After being led at the half, Bethel came back strong to nose out a 28 to 27 victory. The second game of the season was another hair-raising and thrilling battle. Seven Star of the Chillocco Indian almost played havoc with Graymaroon averages when he sank nine goals from the field. Bethel overcame a nine-point lead in the last half, to win 33 to 29 in a whirlwind finish. The next game at Sterling was lost by a score of 34 to 24. The next day saw a bruised and battered bunch of Graymaroons come back from what they termed a cross between a class fight and a wild elephant stampede. The Friends game, next on the list, was one of the hardest, most cleanly fought games of the season. Stellar play and a never-die spirit won a close decision for Bethel. The next night Friends beat Wichita U. and Bethel hopes waxed high. Bethel went to Ottawa and got trimmed. The team seemed to play better at home. They did, the next Saturday, play their best game of the season before a home crowd when they held the best Emporia Teachers had to a 28-37 decision. Emporia's winning goals came in the last few minutes of play. The Bethany Swedes followed K. S. T. C. and also took the measure of the Gray- gnparioogg. The game was fast and close all the way through, the Swedes winning . o . Revenge is sweet is an old saying. lt is a very true one, too, for the Bethelites almocst came down with diabetes when Sterling was whipped 31 to 29 on the Bethel cour . u The last game with McPherson saw Bethel's old rivals sweep through to an easy victory. The fact that McPherson took third place in the National A. A. U. tournament somewhat allayed the bitterness of the defeat. Eighty-Two - 1929 GRAY MARQON E-5 f DDU f. 'F' Basket Ball, 1929 Continued Things broke unluckily for Bethel at the State Tournament, for they drew South- western, winners of the tournament, the very first round, and Central College of Mis- souri eliminated the Bethel lads from the consolation tournament. A post-season game with the Newton Pandandies ended in defeat for Bethel. Slimy Regier, former Bethel star, went wild to clinch the victory for the Pandandies. The season disclosed no players of outstanding ability. The boys were all good and quite evenly matched. The freshmen and sophomores who will be with us again next year played a large part in Bethel's successes. The basket ball outlook for 1930 is a rosy one, with five letter men presumably coming back. Conference Race Will End in Keen Competition fCollegian, Feb. 28, 19285 Eight of the ten Kansas Conference Basket Ball teams will finish their schedules this week. Keen competition will make the end of the race a very interesting one. So far Bethel and McPherson are tied for first place, each having won ten games and lost one. Baker is an easy second and within easy striking distance for first place. The results of the games to be played this week will show who is to be at the top of the conference. The game that will probably decide as to who is to be conference leader will be played next Saturday evening at McPherson, when Bethel plays the McPherson Bulldogs. If Bethel and McPherson each lose one game, Baker will take first, as the Baker team plays fifteen games, while McPherson and Bethel play only fourteen each. If either Bethel or McPherson loses one game, the one that loses will drop to third place, while the other one will retain first place, with Baker as second. There is only one chance for Bethel to place lower than third and that is in case Bethany wins both of her games from Bethel and also beats McPherson. In this event Baker would take first, with McPherson, Bethany, and Bethel in line as second, third and fourth, respectively. However, looking over the past games and the dope as it stands now, Bethel should place either first or third. Bethel has three more games to play. The first will be played on Wednesday of this week, when Bethel plays the Swedes at Lindsborg. The second is the decisive game of the season and will be played Saturday evening when Bethel plays the Bulldogs of McPherson. The last game will be played on Wednesday, March 7th, when the Swedes will play the local team at Dotson gym. The standings of the teams up to now are: Pct. Pts. O-Pts. W. L. Pct. . O-Pts.

Only three letter men were available, and although the new material was fairly good it could not make up for this dearth of seasoned men. Especially was this true in the mile and half-mile, in which Bethel garnered only four points all season. Kliewer-hurdler, polc-vaulter, and high-jumper-was high point man for the season. He was closely followed, however, by Fat Spangler. Three records were broken in '28, Irvin Schmidt established a mark of 5 feet 9 inches in the high-jump, Spangler threw the shot 42 feet 616 inches, and Erick Claassen threw the discus 128 feet 6 inches. At the state meet Kliewer, Spangler, and Regier took third in the pole- vault, shot-put, and two-mile run, respectively. The high light of the local season was the pentangular meet held on May 8, 1928, on the local field. Sterling, with forty points, was first. Other schools competing were: Kansas Wesleyan University, 3415 points, Bethany, 33 points, McPherson, 32 points, and Bethel, 1916 points. Those who placed here were: Spangler, Regier, Kliewer, Schmidt, Ewert, Buller, and Claassen. Irvin Schmidt and Harold Regier earned their sweaters in 1928.

Klicwer, Emi, RBQIPI' Track, 1929 The 1929 track season is just beginning as we 5:0 to press. We therefore do nothing but predict, which is indeed sometimes more pleasant than to relate history. In predictions the fancy has free run and we can, if we wish, sweep every event in every scheduled meet. In order to be fair, however, we will limit ourselves to legitimate dope material. Prospects are promising. We would, of course, say that. But we may add that track prospects are better than they have been for many a year. Such veterans as Karl Kliewer, Harold Regier, Henry Ewert, Irvin Schmidt, Moses Voth, Erich Penner, and Willard Dettweiler, are in tip-top condition and should greatly improve on their previous marks. Several new men show promises of making the veterans step for their laurels. The team has had a tough break in the illness of Carl Neufeldt, a sopho- more in his first year of track competition. He showed remarkable promise having made very good pre-season marks in the 880 and the mile. Other new track men who look especially good are: Epp, running the two-mile, Miller and Friesen at the dashes, and Wiens at broad-jump. Graber is a senior who should do well in the dash events. A comparative survey would lead us to believe that with the breaks in her favor, Bethel should have an unusually successful track season.

Bethel is one of the few colleges in the state to play soccer, the game having been introduced here in the spring of 1925. The season of 1927 opened with only four veterans back, and with every other team in the league having exceptionally strong teams. Therefore the season was rather unsuccessful. Only one game was won, that against Wichita University on the home field. In the return game. due to a driving wind, Bethel was defeated on a fluke play. Friends University won the league championship. Ted Schmidt was elected captain of the 1927 group. Rudi Wiens was the only player to make the all-state an honor which he earned for the third time. Those who made their emblems in 1927 were: Ferdinand Wiens, Willard Dettweiler, Ted Schmidt. Harold Regier, Rudi Wiens, Clinton Kaufman, Adam Mueller, Dave Eitzen, Ralph Robinson, Oren Rutschman, and Anton Richert. SCHEDULE OF GAMES B- C- 0DDOnents B. C.

To the soccer men goes this honor. An undefeated season and a state championship was the mark they hung up for future teams to shoot at. The fact that only one other school was represented in conference soccer does not at all detract from , the glory of the Graymaroon champs. One must remember that the team which was represented, namely Friends, was the state championship team of the year before. As we see it, the only reason the other schools did not enter was because they figured there was no use. The first game of the season was played at Friends and ended in ix Bethel victory with the score 3-1. In a return game the home crowd saw Bethel win 3-2 in an overtime period. The third game was played in the mud at Friends and ended a. tie-1-1. In the final game the Graymaroons reached the pinnacle of form and rolled up a score of 8-2 against the Quakers. Wiens and Regier were the outstanding men all season, with Captain Mueller and a number of the new men also showing up remarkably well. Soccer is a coming sport at Bethel and prospects for a good team next year are of the brightest.. THE SQUAD Wiens--A senior and a veteran soccer man. The team will miss him next year. Mueller-Captain and a rare fighter. He will be back again next year. Regier-High point man of the year. The forward line: Regier, Flickintler, Friesen, Graber, Loewen, Wiens. The back field: Mueller, Goering, Kaufman, Siemens, Richert. Goal: Harms. Reserves: Rupp. Ed Schmidt, Duvenal.

In the fall, for each of the past several years, tennis has been taught to more than twenty beginners. ln our tournament this year, first and second place went to Elma Regier and Susan Hooge, respectively. During the midwinter basket ball is the favorite sport. Class teams are organ- ized, and a few of the girls have a chance to practice as referees. The captains of the class teams during 1928-29 were: Elma Regier for the juniors and seniors, Helen Yergler for the sophomores, and Elizabeth Vaughan for the freshmen. Volley ball and baseball come in the spring, with some lessons on the teaching of children's games. Some years we have had a tumbling class in place of the baseball. Those who care to learn to swim join the swimming class organized for girls at the Newton Y. M. C. A. Two years of gym credit are required for the degree-and for those who can do more, an athletic letter is granted on a point system, including hiking, tennis, basket ball, swimming, and the like.

KARNAK RES f-X Gmymcwoon Honor Instead of a popularity contest, a representative student contest, or something similar to that, the Graymaroon Staff of 1929 decided to allow each student to cast two votes, one for a boy and one for a girl, for those students who in his estimation embodied the qualities which he considered ideal in a student. How the individual student voted was, of course, determined by the relative importance he attached to such things as popularity, good looks, scholarship, participation in representative activities, etc., for these, as well as the indefinable something characterized as student ideals, should be included in the make-up of a student whom we consider ideal. The voting was done in chapel with no previous announcement, in order to prevent electioneering. Each student was allowed only one vote for a boy and one for a girl. Thus, although the votes were widely scattered, no one person receiving a large number, we feel that it was an accurate expression of student opinion and that the winners merit our congratulations. The purpose of the contest was not to convey the impression that any Bethel stu- dent has reached the ideal which each one of us has set up for himself, but to deter- mine student opinion as to which students come most nearly reaching it. We feel that we should give honorable mention to three other students, Paul Kliewer, Selma Graber, and Clinton Kaufman, who also ranked high in the contest. If, after three or four years of association, the student body feels that a student is worthy of the compliment implied in winning or ranking high in a contest of this sort, we say, Hats off to them!

Somewhere around five o'clock A. Emm., we had left the campus. Then followed a more or less impatient wait at Florence Haury's home, until all the cars had collected properly. Yes, and we did find Sim's Park in Wichita. Baseball, home runs, water fights and cool, early morning sunshine only gave our already abnormal appetites a keener edge. Most of us ate too much for breakfast, but on this day of days it was perfectly proper to overeat, if you felt like it. The next stopping place, after the fire at Sim's Park had been put and the birds had again taken their customary perches, was Wellington. No, not right in town, but somewhere along the river bank where there were swings, fireplaces, trees and grass, was where we parked our cars. Some of us pitched horse shoe, others completely ruined several sets of films, still others simply lay on the grass and gossiped. At three o'clock, the cafeteria dinner bell rang, and even those who had overeaten at Wichita overate again. For quite a while, the entire Senior class, including Pa Schmutzf' found it necessary to rest. While we were still resting, an Egyptian sorcercss made her appearance, and she told each one of us what we were destined to be in the years to come. Twilight found us on our way home again. Some of us were caught in a rain storm. A few decided to spend the evening in Wichita. The day had been ideal. Excitement, recreation, fun and laughter and rest, fel- lowship, singing, a rainstorm, a burning building,-what more could we ask? Yet when the girls who lived in Irish Castle prepared to lay away their happy, weary selves for a few hours of sleep, they found that their beds were already otherwise occupied. CNuff said.J You may have heard the expression, We had more fun than a picnic. Well, this surely was an extraordinary picnic, and one not soon to be forgotten by the Nineteen-Twenty-Eighters.

M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. conference, Bethel College is always among the largest delegations. Approximately four hundred students, representing about forty different colleges and universities of Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas, attend the conference each year. Not only American students attend, but also a number of foreign students representing the various schools lend interest to the conferences. A large delegation from Bethel enjoyed the conference in the summer of 1928. Each day the entire morning was given to meetings under the leadership of prominent men, such as Sherwood Eddy, Reinhold Niebuhr, Dr. Earp of London, Dr. Kennedy, former Y. M. C. A. secretary of India, Dr. Mendenhall, and Harold Colvin. The ad- dresses and discussions were based on such topics as: What Shall We Do About War ? Our Economic System, and A Moral Life in a Modern Civilization. A series of lectures on Jesus was also given. Quest groups were organized for the study and discussion of problems, such as, What would happen to the student who lived the Sermon on the Mount ? Is there anything I can do to make war less possible? and What should a student do about the church while in college and when he gets back home? Estes surely pays is a slogan with which all those who have attended these conferences will agree. The background of snow-capped mountains, streams rushing over rocks, lakes reflecting clearly the surrounding scenery, the canyons, the wild animal and plant life, the well-kept grounds with their buildings and cabins of native logs place one in a mood to receive the message and the challenges of able speakers from the platform as well as the silent influences of nature. One Hundred and Twelve I 1 9 - g 2,9 is 'Ti x -5 GRAY MAR oo UUE UUE s It was right after supper and it appeared that the nightly bull session in the Pretty Prairie Room would fail to materialize. Joe Jantz was partly to blame, for he had evidently secured some sulphur from the Chem Lab and feeling the need of pro- voking the kitchen force had fogged up their room. Incidentally one could smell the acrid fumes all over the house, so that more than one member was swearing vengeance on Joe. Red , Irvin Graber, and Regier, had not come home as yet, having first to indulge in their nightly game at the music hall with one of its noble inmates. Eddie had, of course, locked the door to his room. This is one of his habits, whether he has a lesson to study-or has seven hamburgers to eat. Neufeldt, too, came home about this time, after a wearisome day spent in trying to keep the baritone section on pitch. His thoughts on finding the room full of sulphur fumes would not have been fit to print, nevertheless he courageously marched up to the mirror and adjusted his curl which had come a quarter of an inch out of line. Herb Wiebe had taken the hard, rough road to Whitewater. There was a time when Herb could call his future his own, but since he became connoisseur of diamonds, his future hangs on the will of a woman. Walt Ewy and Al Miller had also left for a feminine destination. These, with Buster Klassen and Menno Goertzen are Goerz Hall's traveling nuptial aspirants. Incidentally the last two named could not withstand tihe comdbined effects of Yule-tide cheer and mistletoe, and so gave their loves Christmas iamon s. After having spent an afternoon in fixing the hub cap of his car,.Milt Kliewer was found upstairs in the Senior den, writing out bills to his debtors. Mllt, you know, is dry cleaning agent for Hetzel's. The evening wore away, as evenings have a habit of doing, and all was quiet for about an hour while the gang went over to the library to gossip and to look over to- morrow's lessons. The first to come home was Rupp. His sleep having been disturbed of late by numerous dumpings, he proceeded to take precautious measures. The sharp bangs of the 'hammer resounded through the house, as he nailed shut the outer door and the windows. Next he took some heavy wire and securely fastened his bed to the floor. Putting on his pajamas, he then locked the outer door and rolled into bed feeling that this night at least he would be undisturbed. He was closely followed into the house by the Linscheids. Harold naturally breaking into the rhythmic strains of Beautiful, and Elmer bringing out the amorous effect, in that touching phrase, Then I'll make love, to some turtle dove. They were interrupted by a loud shut up from a voice that sounded like Sprig's. A few sundry remarks about green Freshmen and 1 fools were also heard. Sprig's ill humor did not last long, he having just received his girl's portrait, which had lain unknown to him in Neufeldt's trunk for a number of days. Marvin Miller and Epp came in now to spend another hour or so with their books. Haury followed them, coming from work up-town. In one hand Porky held the sack from which every few minutes he proceeded to take another roll till his nightly quantity of eight was consumed. Unlacing his boots, he then put his feet on the table, and read College Humor. Brandt had by this time settled down in his room, and was figuring out some means of getting more pool-hall ads in the annual. Loewen now started You're a Real Sweetheart on the portable and the room gradually filled as boys stopped in on their way to the attic. Dett brought his uke and the group sang a few songs. Be- tween songs and records one could hear Froese's imprecations coming up the back stairs as he attempted. to get Rupp to unlock the door so he could go to bed. Froese was giving vent to his feelings in a most ungentlemanly way, being somewhat wroth, since his trunk had just been found at the girls' dormitory. At exactly 10:14, his usual time, Rudi Wiens entered the portals of his room and paused for a moment to gaze at the picture of the girl he had just left. Bill Harms also came in about this time, but he immediately went to bed, having to get up at five to push the thermostat up to seventy. ' Gradually things quieted down as Goerz Hall went to bed. Finally, at twelve o'clock, Les Bauer pulled in, having for an excuse this time that he got stuck in a snow storm. After he had pulled Walt Ewy out of bed, they went downstairs and attempted to dump the Linscheids. But the Linscheids were prepared, and in their hurry to get away from falling furniture and banging dumbbells, Les managed to get a black eye. Finally quiet was restored and, except for the gutteral utterings of Regier, peace reigned until Joe's saxaphone started its weird wail at 5:30 a. m. One Hundred and Fourteen 1 .9 Z,,,9, i B U5 enzyv MARQON Q The Dorm Daily Dozen Buzz, buzz, buzz! The bells resound through the halls, and so life begins in the dormitory every morning at 6:30. With a wild scramble, everyone who is ambitious enough to go to breakfast dashes to and fro between bathroom and room in order to be presentable at the dining hall. As soon as the noise has ceased the lazy ones breathe a sigh of relief and turn over for another forty-five minute snooze. This ends abruptly when the girls come home and, as a matter of habit, stop in the reception room to play the piano. Life is pretty calm throughout the morning except for a short interval when each one tries to get to the mail box first. Peace reigns supreme from then until after dinner, when everyone flocks into the reception room and reminisces over the morning's experlences. By means of the vlctrola, piano, vocal solos, and calisthenic exercises, a good time IS enjoyed by all. But the crowd soon disperses to powder noses and add a touch of rouge preparatory to going to class. Again quiet is restored until about five o'clock when the girls begin to come home from the library. Books are thrown into corners and visiting begins. Questions like this may be heard: Hey, who do you have a date with? How are you going to the show? l'When are you going ? What are you going to wear? May I wear your black hat ? That's the sweetest new dress! Where did you make that raid? Are you going to the library tonight ? I surely do have to study. Wonder what we are going to have for supper. And then a general call is sent through the whole dorm for any waitress who might know the menu. By this time it is ten minutes to six, and again we congregate in the reception room, where those who have not been lucky enough to get letters do as much as possible to hinder the lucky ones from reading theirs. After supper the program is the same except for the addition of about four boys from Goerz Hall who are always perfectly willing to share their company with the girls. But real life at the dorm begins in the evening of open nights. About five in- dividuals keep the floor hot between their rooms and the dean's office asking for the use of the reception rooms for the evening. From seven to seven forty-five Miss White earns her salary by answering the bells and keeping young men entertained until their victims arrive. After the exodus, those who have escaped get together and plan the evening's program, which usually consists of putting salt in beds, throwing books around, pop- ping corn, making candy, and having a jolly good time in general. All this often proves a sad welcome for those who have been out. If one should glance at the dorm about ten he would see couples slowly dragging porchward and toward the radiator for the last sad farewell before the dean opens the door and sweetly but firmly says, Two more minutes. And then the rush begins. Fellows leave, girls go to their rooms, and everyone works against time to try to get to bed before the lights flash. No luck, lights flash once, girls still sitting around: lights flash againg girls sit up and take notice and absently begin to take off their shoes. Fifteen minutes elapse and then the footsteps of the dean are heard approach- ing. By this time the thought of going to bed begins to be considered seriously and when the dean finally gets to her destination everyone is peacefully lying in bed with eyes closed wondering what the folks at home are doing. Miss White really begins to think her duties are finished for the day and thankfully sinks into bed with a sigh and ia: feieligg of thanksgiving that there are only forty girls in the dorm and not one un re .

These friends of Bethel never pub- lished a Graymaroon, but they worked and lived and learned on our college campus, and went out as we are going out. Now some of their sons and daughters are gradu- ating with the class of 1929. They have gone out into the world but they have not forgotten Bethel. Their college days will live in memory, as will ours, until memory itself grows dim. It is through her loyal alumni that a school is able to exist and develop. Bethel's list of alumni is increasing year by year. As we join their ranks let us not forget that her alumni have never failed her. Let us lend our support, as have those who have pre- ceded us, to our dear old Alma Mater. One Hundred and Twenty-Two 192.9 , A. GRAY MAROON 4' i D. H. Richert, Rev. P. J. Friesen, A. D.

This remark was not intended to be complimentary-it was a mere state- ment of fact. Whether it might be interpreted as a compliment would depend on the frequency of her visits and the nature of the changes, I suppose. However, a living thing will not stay put, change is inevitable. A number of changes have been made in the library during the last two years. These have been the result of the natural growth of our book collection and the de- velopment of the school into a full-fledged college. In -August, 1927, the large basement room directly underneath the library was redecorated and wired in order to provide adequate lighting for library purposes. Then the stacks were moved downstairs and three additional sections of steel stacks bought and installed. This made room for additional tables in the reading room upstairs, which now has a seating capacity of eighty. A booklift-even though it is of the old oaken bucket variety instead of an electric one-is doing good service in transporting books up from the stackroom and back again when the books are returned. Due to the removal of the stacks the lighting in the main reading room is much better and the appearance of the room has been greatly improved. Another expansion of a different nature consists of an increase of library hours from fifty-two to fifty-nine hours per week. The library is now open eleven hours a day every day except Saturday, when it closes at noon. The uniform evening schedule under this new arrangement makes for more efficient study--since now an entire eve- ning, until ten o'clock, can be spent uninterruptedly in the library. In February of this year, at the beginning of the new semester a new system for handling reserve books was inaugurated. While formerly students had free access to the reserve book section, now they call for their books at the desk and sign a card every time they wish to draw a reserve book even for use in the room. We hope this system, which is used in most larger libraries, will make for fewer lost books, less confusion on the shelves, and better service to all concerned. The future will no doubt bring other changes-the idea of an extension of the north wing northward has been mentioned by some who see the library outgrowing its present quarters, the absolute need for more book money for a standard college library should bring an increase in financial resourccsg the increase in size of the book collection will no doubt in time bring about a larger library staff, and so forth, but change there will needs be. if there is growth.

The instigators of this League declared their sole purpose to be the salvation of women from the tyranny of men, and with this high and noble purpose in mind they began their active work. Although this organization was short-lived and seems to have served its purpose, it will live long in the memory of those who benefited through its work. After its very natural death we feel that some monument should be erected in its commemora- tion. It is in honor of its great work that we hereby make known to the public the constitution of said League. CONSTITUTION OF THE DATE INTERFERENCE LEAGUE Preamble We, the sons of liberty, in order to promote and facilitate the welfare of certain unfortunate feminine mortals who are tremendously handicapped by the predominating misconception that a certain fellow has an exclusive franchise on her dates, do hereby organize and establish the constitution of the Date Interference League. Article I-Membership The membership of this League shall not exceed seven members. Nobody is eligible to membership in this League unless he meets the following qualifications: 1. He must be of the male species. 2. He must have attained the majority and must not exceed the age of one score and six. 3. He must be of unimpeachable character. 4. He must have manifested some definite interest in the Wheel of society. 5. The minimum height of the members must not exceed the maximum altitude of the dates. 6. He must shave with considerable proximity at least six times a week. 7. The enclosure of his pedal extremities must be glossed daily. Article II-Organization The officers of the League are as follows: 1. The president, who shall have general supervision of the constituency. 2. The sergeant, who shall be obligated to enforce the regulations of the League. 3. A committee of three, whose duty it shall be to make recommendations of prospective datees to the League. 5 Article III-Duties It shall be the duty of every member of this League to date or earnestly endeavor to date each prospective datee recommended by the committee at least once per semester.

Was there a fire? Why were the dormitory girls seen rushing to and fro, stopping every boy in sight and apparently engaging in a brief but serious conversation? Nothing serious had taken place: but Bethel College was certainly destined to experience one of the greatest shake-ups in history. On Tuesday evening, March 20, 1928, the Goerz Hall Cagers were scheduled to play the rest of the school in one of the hottest battles on record. Goerz Hall was busy soliciting support: and due to their splendid organization and system, dope seemed in their favor. The officials were the most efficient and experienced of the inmates. the and Coach: K. Kuehney. Captain: J. Buller. Trainer: W. Schmidt. Assistant Trainer: F. Wiens. Ad. Manager: H. Regier. Cheerleader: E. Friesen. Band Leader: D. P. Friesen. Refreshments: E. Graber. Admission, 25c. Couples admitted for 260. The Goerz Hall boys were urged to bring a lady friend. Another attraction of evening was the preliminary game between the girls of the Ladies' Dormitory the Independent Girls' Team. Q When the news reached the dormitory that Goerz Hall expected their loyal support, that spirit of contrariness peculiar to some women arose: or was it a particular interest in some one on the team of the Goerz Hall opponents? At least, after much discussion and matching of wits, the ruling was passed that every dormitory girl must have a date and that this date must not be with a man from Goerz Hall or with anyone she had ever dated before. The wounded pride of the Goerz Hall men then prompted them to pass a similar rule against the ladies from the dormitory. The fight was on! This was the reason for the confusion on the Bethel campus, this was the cause of the tragic and serious countenance of the girls. Who wouldn't become serious with an inner fear of the gauntlet and face to face with the fact that the present victim of her conversation was informing her that she was the tenth girl who had asked him for a date in the last fifteen minutes. It began to look like a life and death matter, and the girls were forced to swallow their pride and bravely approach the next member of the opposite sex with hope of better success. , Never in the life of Bethel College had its social institutions and conventions been so undermined. All those folks who had been howling for excitement were at last satisfied. Many a shy maiden and bashful youth at last had the thrill of a date and everyone looked forward to the eventful night with interest.

One Word M ore As We near the completion of our task of presenting two years of college life through the Graymaroon of 1929, we seek a few moments of solitude to reflect upon a year's experience and incidentally to write this last editorial for our book. Around the theme, Gateways, it has been our ambition to build the best Gray maroon in the history of Bethel. If we have failed, we are sorry, if we have succeeded we are content. We have put forth every effort to avoid mistakes in names, in facts and records, and we hope that the number of such will be a minimum. We hope, too that no satire will be so keen as to justly offend and that no freedom will be mistaken for lack of respect on the part of the editors. In short, it is our vain hope to have pleased everybody. Words of appreciation are due the members of the staff for their work and co operation, both in their own departments and in the work as a whole, and to MISS Hooley who censured, revised, and corrected the material. We also wish to give due credit for the success of the book to the Burger Engraving Company of Kansas City Missouri, to the Kansan Printing Co., and to the Stovall Studio, both of Newton, whose co-operation has made the publication of this book possible. Last of all, we Wish to express our appreciation for the co-operation and backing of the student body. We trust that you will be pleased with this, YOUR Graymaroon THE EDITOR.
