Students
The annua! faculty reception
for the students was held in the
parlors of Hardin Hall on Sat-
urday night, September seventh.
Students were greeted by Pres-
ident and Mrs. C. E. Burns and
members of the faculty, who for-
med the receiving line shortly
after 8 o'clock. Former students
of Milligan College presented the
new man and women to the of-
ficials and teachers. After the in-
troductions, the following pro-

Keynote for New Year
On Sunday. September eighth,
the convocation service was held
in the Milligan College chapel,
at which time many guests and
and friends of the college, as well
as students, gathered for the
first church service of the college
year. President Derthick had
always reserved for himself
the privilege of delivering the
convocation service, and the hon-
or fell now to his successor, Pres-
ident Burns. The keynote and
spirit of the year was represent-
ed then as a challenge to industry
and singleness of purpose. Using
as his text these words: ''Where-
fore seeing we also are compass-
ed about with so great a cloud
of witnesses, let us lay Su,ldc every
weight, and the sin which doth so

Friday, September 13, Presi-
dent Burns entertained very
graciously the boys of the Senior
Class at the John Sevier Hotel
The occasion was marked by
the typical spirit and fellowship
of Milligan College activities. The
delicious steak luncheon was
thoroughly enjoyed by every one.
After the meal the boys heard
short talks by President Burns,
Professor Cochrane. Dean Eyler,
and Coach Lacey. The theme of
the meeting was cooperation, the
idea being presented that the
common good of all is best served
through cooperation and work
well done. Some of the senior
boys gave short talks in which
they expressed the belief that
Milligan will have continued suc-
cess in the future, as she has en-
joyed in the past. The class
pledged its even- effort to the
betterment of Milligan.
r
Faculty Changed
Several important changes
have been made in the faculty.
President H. J. Derthick, presi-
i dent of Milliean College for twen-
ty three years, resigned, and Mrs.
Derthick, former LVanof Women,
and Assistant to the President, |
also retired. Professor C. E. |
Burns, former head of the Social j
Science Department, has taken
up the presidential duties. Mrs. :
Kathleen Adams Bowman, the
new Dean of Women, has relin-
quished her position as teacher of
the secretarial sciences to Mrs.
Helen Nave, who was Mrs. Der-
thick's assistant. Mrs. Burns,
wife of the president, is in charge
of the Boarding Department.
These changes made it neces-
sary to secure the new teacher of
social science, Professor J. Fred
Holly. Mr. Holly, a native
of Elizabethton, did his
undergraduate work at Milligan.

Pardee Hall Has New
Furniture
rs
The old leather chairs and
couch that for so many years
received the visitors in the parlor
of Pardee Hall are now no more
than relics of the past. Modern,
beautiful new chairs and couch-
es have cheered and brightened
the parlor to a very great extent.
The furniture was purchased
by the voluntary contributions
of the boys and faculty members
residing in the boys' dormitory.
Mrs. Cochrane was in charge of
the selection of the new furniture
and the decoration of the parlor.
jThe covers for chairs and the
■ Venetian blinds have not as yet
been installed but we are sure
; they will give an even more
! cheery aspect, to the boys' parlor.
The parlor of Pardee Hall is a
place where dignilied young men
may gather together or proudly
receive their visitors.

COMMENTS
by
J. F. Holly
For the past fifty years the
United States has been dedicated
to the preservation of competi-
tion within the economic con-
fines of the nation. This policy
was initiated in 18!'0 b}' the pas-
sage of the Sherman Anti-Trust
Act which declared illegal "every
contract, combination in the
form of a trust or otherwise, or
conspiracy, in restraint of trade
or commerce among the several
States or with foreign nations."
The "sin" of business combina-
tions in American folklore of the
time was comparable to the con-
ception of sin in the religious
sense.
From 1890 to 1933 the admin-
istration of the act "then hot and
then cold." Under the eider
tors. A few individuals in the cast are not con- Roosevelt and Taft, enforcement
cerned with putting the program over but only was of the vigorous "big stick"
in becoming conspicuous themselves. On the oth- 1 variety. From their regime until
] the time of the arrival of Thur-
The Stage is Set
The stage is set : grass for the carpet, trees
and four buildings for the furnishings, Buffalo
Mountain for the backdrop, and the sun and
the moon for lights. The actors are on tbe stage
and the first few opening lines have been gotten
through- Our drama is underway and offers for
the audience a cross-section of life. The title of
the play - - Milligan College.
There has already been and will be bits of
comedy, touches of tragedy, and points of high dra-
ma. Some of our actors are inexperienced and are
depending on their luck, wit, and intuition to see
them through. Others have been in similar plays
but never with these exact lines. Of course, in the
main, the success of the play depends upon the
actors. Some are scared, others are too sure of
themselves. Some will stay stuck in their little
corner of the stage during the entire time, and
and whenever they will speak a line they will
muffle it and miss their opportunity to make
good. Some already are running around on the
stage without plan or purpose - - to the distract-
ion of the audience, the directors, and other ac-
er hand, there is some real talent.
IDEALS OF PUBLICATION
This publication endeavors to foster the ideals
for which the student body la ever striving;
namely, higher scholarship, cleaner sportsman-
ship, and finer comradeship. It endeavors to rep-
resent the school in all its aspects and to print,
[in an accurate and engaging way, everything of
I news interest concerning it.
In the course of the play, there will come out ; man Arnold on the Washington
love and hate, courage and cowardice, industry I scene, enforcement was lax. In
and indolence, magnaminity and meanness. The 1 1938 President Roosevelt ap-
actors will put into their various roles what they j pointed Thurman Arnold as his
themselves are and feel. The audience, aside from Assistant Attorney-General in
each actor's own little cheering section, is as yet I charge of anti-trust prosecutions,
unprejudiced. Although it is for the most part j Previous to his appointment
just, nevertheless it is rather critical. This au-j Arnold had served as onetime
dience, like all audiences, is willing to pay to see Mayor of Laramie, Wyoming
only a good performance. i and professor of law at Yale.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The greatest sin: Fear
The best day: Today
The best town : Where you succeed
The most agreeable companion: One
who would not have you any different from
what you are.
The great bore: One who will not come
to the point
A still greater bore: One who keeps on
talking after he has made his point
The greatest deceiver: One who deceiv-
es himself
The greatest invention of the devil:
War
The greatest secret of production: Sav-
ing waste
The best work: What you like
The best play: Work
The greatest comfort: The knowledge
that you have done your work well
The greatest mistake: Giving up
The most expensive indulgence: Hate
The cheapest, stupidest, and easiest
thing to do : Finding fault
So here in opening scene of the first act, we
urge all the participants to give it all they have
and remind them that, "The play's the thing".
The greatest trouble maker: One who
talks too much
The greatest stumbling block: Egotism
The most ridiculous asset: Pride
The worst bankrupt: The soul that has
lost its enthusiasm
The cleverest man: One who always
does what he thinks is right
The most dangerous person: The liar
The most disagreeable person : The corn-
plainer
The best teacher: One who makes you
want to learn
The meanest feeling of which any hu-
man being is capable : Feeling bad at the suc-
cess of another
The greatest need: Common sense
The greatest puzzle: Life
The greatest mystery: Death
The greatest thought: God
The greatest thing, bar none, in all the
world: Love.
A few years back, in 1937 to
be exact, Arnold published his
Folklore of Capitalism, in which
he joking!}' called capitalism the
"true faith." Since then he has
experienced a decided change in
attitude and in his latest book,
The Bottlenecks of Business(19i0)
he became sober and stated that
capitalism is "the only type of
economic structure in which go-
vernment is free and in which
the human spirit is free." This
change in attitude has been com-
parable to the change in the en-
forcement of the anti-trust laws
To this very day Arnold con-
tinues his vigorous attack upon
business "cooperation" in direct
opposition to the pressure that is
on him to slow down. It has al-
ready been suggested by the re-
cently formed Defence Comniis-

This year's crop of freshman girls has

PORTRAITS
by Mary Sue Ringstaff
Katherine Brown
Kay Brown was born in Bland,
Virginia, where she attended
grammar and high school.
After graduating from high
school, she graduated from Mar-
ian Junior College. Kay came to
Milligan in 1939, one of the rea-
sons being that she passed the
campus once and, thinking it a
beautiful spot, decided that it
would be a nice place to spend a
semester. She then had no idea
that she would spend two years
here.
Kay decided, when she first
came, to major in psychology be-
cause she thought she would be
able at sometime in life to solve
some problems, which, by the
way, are still worrying her.
When Kay was asked about
her honors, she handed me an old
Marian College paper, from
which the following was extract-
ed:
"Kay Brown— regular college
course, dramatics, President of
Senior Class, Maid of Honor-1938
Delta Psi Omega-1938."
When asked her ambition, she
said, "Right now it's to get
through college and get a diploma
to hang on the wall at home for
Mother and Dad to grin over."
She does have a business course
in mind sometime in the future
but she doesn't believe in crossing
bridges until you come to them.
Her motto is take it easy, en-
joy life, because one is dead a
long time. Her hobby is collect-
ing snapshots.
To Kay, we say, continue to
take life easy and you're sure to
enjoy it.
Robert Edward Rice
Robert Rice, better known as
"Shag", was born at Milligan.
He moved toErwinatthe tender
age of five,, and entered Elm
Street Grammar School at the
age of five years. He graduated
from Unicoi High School in '37,
where he took part in everything

Buffaloes Stampede Cumberland
The Milligan College "Bui-'
faloes" continued their stam-
pede under the lights at Leba-
non by taking the Cumb2r-
land "Lawyers" into camp by '•
the tune of 13-0 in their first
Smoky Mountain Conference
game Saturday.
The "Buffaloes" struck
from the air twice in the
third quarter to score both
touchdowns. Cumberland's
goal line was first crossed by
Blessing, when he received a
30-yard pass from Brummitt :
the second touchdown was at-
tained by the same pair, this
time by virtue of a 35-yard
pass. Rice converted after I
the second touchdown.
"Shag" Rice, all-conference
prospect, played a bang-up
game at the tackle post while
Brummitt and Williams were I
shining in the backfie'd.
Bill Blackwell, Buff's star
wing-back, suffered a leg in-
jury in the second quarter,
and had to be removed from
the game.
The boys from Coach La-
cey's camp entered the game
under severe handicap. Bill
Showalter, who has been
nursing a leg injury, started
the game, but had to be re-
moved before the game was
three minutes old.
Cumberland was within but
20 yards of Milligan goal
throughout the entire game ;
the Buffs' wall holding up very
strong against the Cumber-
land power plays. The "Law-
yers' " vaunted passing at-
tack did not click due to the
hard charging Buff line. Sta-
tistics showed they completed
only four out of 18 passing
attempts. The other side of
the slate shows Milligan at-
tempted 14 and completed
four, but two were for touch-
downs.

Many of the Loys who served
on our team last year are gone
this year but we remember their
good spirit and fine play of last ;
year. Among those not back
this year are : Captains Bill Pike

at half-back and center, respec-
tively; Temus Bright and Auno
Koskinen, tackles; Dud Roberts,-
Jim Peace, Bernie Webb, half-
backs; Johnce Howington, full-

that Coach Lacey will uncover
some new men to replace the
veterans lost last year.
BOYS LOOK GOOD
The Buffaloes looked good in
capturing the game from Austin
Peay by the score of 12-0. There
were no outstanding stars in the
game; However, those look-
ing good were: Bo Brummitt,
Hope Burton, and Big Bill Sho-

"M" Club Has New
Members
At a call meeting of the M
Club on September 5, officers for
the new year were elected. Bob
Rice is the new president, Bernie
Webb, vice-president, "Jo-Jo"
Dellinger, secretary-treasurer and
Bill Blackwell, sergeant-at-arms.
Five new members were voted
into the Club. Jack Ankeny and
David Trotter were eligible
through their work as cheerlead-
ers, Johnny Johnson qualified
through baseball, and W. T.
Mather through tennis.
'1 he business of awarding let-
ters to cheerleaders was discus-
sed. It was decided that letters
should be voted to cheerleaders
each year.
The M Club is one of the most
active clubs on the hill. It is
made up of athletes from all
sports, managers, and cheerlead-
ers. Around this group is based
the athletic program of Milligan.
The purpose of this club is to
promote sportsmanship and to
encourage clean athletics at, Mil-
ligan College. The club will go a
long way to uphold this purpose.
Pep Rallied For
Austin Peay Game
The first pep meeting of the
year was called by Kink Peery
on Tuesday, September 9. A
group of enthusiastic students
met in the gymnasium to show
their support for the Buffs of
'40. The gym resounded with
cheers, led by students who were
ambitious to be chosen as cheer-
leaders. Arousing talks were
made by President Burns, Dean
Eyler, the coaches, and the cap-
tains.
Lilia Perez, energetic senorita
from Puerto Rico, did her part
by making a pep talk in Span-
ish for the benefit of the other
Puerto Ricans. They all joined
in a Spanish yell which would set
any team on fire.
After singing the Alma Mater,
the group left the gym, determin-
ed that the team will have their
unanimous support.
Side-Line Notes
by Bill Monahan
Milligan students provided
"half" entertainment for spec-
tators with a "snake-dance"
which was gratefully received by
all. Milligan'scheerleading section
was kept in constant action, un-
der the directing head cheerleader
Jack Ankeny and his assistants
David Trotter and Lilia Perez,
and spurred the Buffs on to vic-
tory.
Bradshaw, robust Milligan
tackle, who tips the scales at 225
pounds, looked plenty good and
should see plenty of action for
the orange and black this year.
Lilia Perez, Milligan's Puerto
Rican cheerleader, attracted
much attention from the stands.
Her unique style was favorably
received by all.
Freshman game entries looked
plenty good.
Milligan invaded the Smoky
Mountain Conference circle when
they traveled to Lebanon to meet
the Cumberland University
eleven Friday, Sept. 20.
About 1500 fans were on hand
for the opening kick-off.
Cheer Leaders Elected
Seven people were out for
cheerleading this year; five girls
and two boys. The candidates

BUFFALOES
by
COACH STEVE LACEY
The smallest squad in five
years met on Anglin field Sept-
ember 2 for their first practise.
The National Guard took
four boys from the squad,
marriage took a senior tackle
and another tackle did not re-
turn, making a total loss of six-
teen men through graduation
and failure of other boys to
return.
The squad is shaping up fairly
well to have so many inexper-
ienced men on it. The boys have
good pep for their second weeks
practice. The team will not be
as strong as it was last year but
will give a good account of itself
in every game.
It appears now that the start-
ing team will be Birelv or Bless-
ing at right end, D'Agata or
Davis at left end, Rice right
tackle, Spraker left tackle,
Riggs or Dellinger guard,
Cure or Stone center, Black-
well, Burton, or Brummitt
halfback, Easterling quarterback,
and Showalter fullback.
The first eleven will be fairly
strong, but the reserves are ex-
ceptionally weak in every respect.
The schedule is as follows:

THE STAMPEDE
SEPTEMBER 30, 1940
Freshman Girls Are
Entertained
By now all freshmen girls have
or should have been properly in-
itiated into the school life at Mil-
ligan College. They have been
brought before the high court of
justice and tried for their mis-
demeanors. And now b3 the per-
mission of the upper class girls
' they may take their seats just
back of the more learned and try
to learn something of the deeper
philosophies of life.
Monday evening, Sept. 16,
1940, the upper class girls met in
Hardin ..all to determine what
was the best manner of enlighten-
ing and properly initiating the
would-be freshmen girls into the
prevailing spirit at Milligan.
There was the problem of being
too severe or being too lenient
The course chosen did not prove
to be too severe and yet was just
enough to bring low the high and
haughty seniors of the past year
at High School and to usher in
the dawn of a new school life —
that of a freshman at Milligan.
Before the great and mighty
court of the upper classmen these
seemingly unworthy creatures
were brought to be tried and
judged by the eminent judges,
Ruby Smith and Kathleen Edens
for all such matters as neglect of
teeth, clowning, failure to clean
rooms and being a 'Peeping Tom'
(peeping down peoples' throats).
Not one escaped the venerable
judges — no, not one new-comer
to this campus; even Mrs. Burns
and Nurse Smith were found
guilty of being new-comers. The
force of this high court was swift
and sure, yet all victims bore
their punishments with courage
and understanding.
For their further enlightment
Dorothy Fox and her cohorts pre-
pared a well rounded program of
music and drama. A skit — "Jessie
James" illustrated in a very dra-
matic way the fate of all wrong
doers. A song entitled "Frankie
& Johnnie" was sung by the fam-
ous songsters Kathleen Edens,
Dorothy Fox, Katheryne Davis,
Virginia Reneau, accompanied
by Janette on the harmonica. In_

Students Hike To
Laurels
Saturday. September 21, was
"pleasure time" for man}', as ap-
proximately one hundred Milli-
gan students hiked to the Laurels
for an outdoor picnic. Prof. J. G.
Long, who headed the group, ad-
mitted the students were e little
too energetic on the way. The
ice-cream factory, as well as
"Aunt Rhodie's", was a welcome
sight. The "Buffalo Gals" were
puffing so, they had . to eat ice
cream between puffs. Regular
"cream puffs!"
The food was prepared
by Mrs C. E Burns and includ-
ed everything from bacon to po-
tato chips. After five or six hot-
dogs, and several pints of punch,
everyone joined in a cheer for
Mrs. Burns. Some felt they could
hike back, but the majority fa-
vored the bus.

Last year there were two girls |
from Puerto Rico here. When j
they returned this fall, they
brought with them five other
girls. Emerita and Usula Lopaz;
are Freshman and plan to major!
in Home Economics. When they
finish, they want to return to
Puerto Rico to teach. Maria
Sepulveda and Blanca Vargas are
also Freshmen, majoring in Eng-
lish and Home Economics, re-
spectively. Edna Perez is a
Junior and is completing the Pre-
Med course. All the girls are fond
of sports, especially swimming
and tennis. They like Milligan
very much, and say the only dif-
ficulty they have in understand-
ing English is when one talks too
rapidly, which is more often
than not. They saw their first
football game when Milligan
beat Austin Peay. Basketball ^re-
dominates in Puerto Rican

What is virtue but repose

After returning from the picnic,
pleasure time was continued as
Prof. ( Agfa) Hyder showed sever-
al rolls of colored films taken on
the campus. The pictures were all
colorfull and interesting. Out-
standing were the close-ups of
the flowers and of the buildings.

New Furniture
Due to a recent acquisition
Pardee Hall has taken its own
place beside the "ritzy" spots
of the campus. New furni-
ture has added color and com-
fort to the parlor of the boys'
dormitory. "M" Club initia-
tes find this soft, blue-tone
furniture very enticing, but
Mrs. Cochrane urges "no sit-
down strikes". Some of the
boys expressed their appre-
ciation by mentioning how
nice it would be to have their
young "hanky-panks" over
for a Par-dee? Par-haos.
Birthday Greetings
The notes of "Happy birth-
day to you" rang out in the
dining hall September 14, as
it was President Burns' b;rth-
day. The music wasn't so
good, President, but the
words expressed the thought.
Sports Items
"Angel" Bradshaw threat-
ens to be a favorite of the
fairer sex in the coming foot-
ball games. Mavbe it's his
curly hair? — Maybe!
The snake dance around
the field Saturday night seed-
ed to add a lot of pep at the
half. Here's for more of 'em
in the future and perhaps a
bonfire before the games.
Could be called the "Buffalo
Stomp" instead of Snake
dance?
Believe it or not although
Cincinnati of the National
League has clinched the pen-
nant, they have scored fewer
runs than any team in the
c'rcuit. Cleveland hasn't won
the American pennant yet
but they have expressed their
hate of "Reds". True Ameri-
cans, these Indians.
Politics
So much political chatter
has been disturbing those on
the campus that some kind of
organization has seemed nec-
essary.
With Professor Holly as
supervisor several of the boys
taking Economics or Social
Sciences have organized a
"Friday Night Session". Of-
ficers are to be elected Friday,
September 20. Various issues
are to be discussed, and all

sion that the Department of
Justice should ease its restraining
hand and permit more business
cooperation so that harmonious
relations between government
and industry will be insured.
Many agree with Arnold that
the system of free enterprise
should be saved. Yet, there are
many in this same group who
feel that Hitler and the inevit-
able State socialism of our de-
fence program has made the
whole thing pretty old fashioned.
In arguing that prosecutions
should not be postponed for the
sake of rearmament Arnold at-
tributes: (1) the fall of the
Weimar Republic, (2) the col-
lapse of France, and (3) the fail-
ures of Chamberlain, to a frozen
price system in which vested in-
terests put a "money value on
restraints of trade and called it
national wealth." It is possible
that laxness will bring collapse
to our shores.
The immediate future is vital
for if Arnold has his way the
United States will at least
emerge from the present situa-
tion as little changed as possible;
if he fails, regimentation may
enter our economy. Regardless
of the outcome, the future is
mo»t interesting and should be
regarded with our most serious
consideration.

to let us use it.
Dr. Bennett's Entry:
FREE PRESS ALWAYS
VANGUARD OF DEMOCRACY
A free press has always been
the vanguard wherever democra-
cy has prevailed. How significant
is the fact that printing with mo-
vable type originated at the time
man, in Western Europe, was
struggling for the free expression
of his innermost thoughts.
The press has always been the
handmaid of the church as she
has slowly but surely forged a
democratic ideal for her people.
Martin Luther in the Protestant
Reformation, as well as Igna
tious Loyola in the Catholic
Counter-Reformation, used the
press in publishing pamphlets
text books, Bible tracts and the
ritual or worship; all to the ser-
vice of a modified form of demo-
cracy in religion. The Bible to be
used in common by a free people
was one of the first books pub-
lished on the advent of the print-
ing press. Despite the fact that
the church has always been slow
in adopting new ideas, she was
the first to enlist the service of a
public press in the defence of
man's right to freedom.
Political reformers, radical
leaders, and all others who have
been moulders of public opinion,
against the ty ranical rule of
church and state, have wielded
their power by the education of
their followers by the printed
;e rather than the pointed
sword. Lasting good is effected
by the gradual but continuous
effort to change the thoughts of
man. The pulpit, the home, and
the school have all done their
part in the liberty of thought and
action; but in the final analysis,
little progress was realized until
printing was given to the world.
History shows that society was

IN VAIN
Again in Flander's Field afar,
Where poppies grow their graves adorn,
The storm clouds roll and threaten rain;
The souls immortal walk again.
A million men abreast they walk,
They live, they breath, they even talk;
And those immortal words they say
With aching heart repeat today;
"Through mud and blood our feet have trod
The heat, the cold how tense - - 0 God!
We died to end all strife and woe,
Have freedom ring forever more.
"Alas - - in vain, what have we gained.
The storm clouds roll and threaten rain."

Miss Carsie Hyder To Wed
Professor E. G. Lodter
The atmosphere of the home economics cot-
tage was filled with gracious hospitality as former
classmates, lady faculty members, and friends
mingled together enjoying an afternoon tea.
But we interrupt the setting to remind you
that "Milligan College is the place" — We have
learned from reliable sources that Profes-or Ed-
ward G. Lodter and Miss Carsie Hyder just "feel
that way about each other." Formal announce-
ment of the engagement was made at a tea hon-
oring the occasion given by Kathleen Brown, Sat-
urday at 4 o'clock, at the home economics cot-
tage. The wedding will take place on Thanks
giving day.
The tea — for two— held a surprise for many,
not excepting the bride-eiect, who was presented
her engagement ring.
In the recording of the event, we wish you,
Prof. Lodter and Carsie, abundant happiness and
success in your future married lile.
Congratulations!

"The Sophmore class submits the following
questions to the faculty with the suggestion
that they be used for the sscond semester Fresh-

1. Who was Habeus Corpus and in what
year did he reign?
2. What important psychological changes af-

Age? The Romantic Age? How many parents
meet these changes?
Who killed the Dead Sea, and if so, why?
Who wrote H. G. Wells, "Outline of History"

COMMENTS
by J. F. HOLLY
Throughout the past few weeks
ssveral students have approach-
ed the writer on the problem of
financing the cost of national de-
fenss. The inquiries have usual-
ly centered around the following
question:1 Just ho x will the Un t
el St.te meet the increasing
cost of government brought
about by the armament pro-
gram?" This question is of vita
importance to the citizenry at
large because of its many ramifi-
cations; therefore, it is worthy of
our attention at the present time.
To obta n an adequate pic-
ture of our future fiscal policy it
will be necessary to first consid-
er the present national debt and
to attempt an analysis of the
possible future trend of thisdept.
At the present time our national
debt is hovering around the for-
mer statutory debt limit of S45,-
000, 000, COO. EeUab'e politico-
economists estimate that under
the present program of national
defense the debt will, in all pro-
bability, rise to the high mark of
$60, OOr^tOO, 000. This writ-
er predicted in the October 9 is-
sue of this column that the post-
war return to a "peace economy"
would be exceedingly difficult.
Information coming from Wash-
ington indicates that the demob-
ilization of our war-time econ-
omy will, in part, be facilitated
by a continued reliance upon,
and a more stringent effort at
'pump-priming". The assumpt-
ion upon which this conclusion is
based is to the effect that in-
creasing government spending
for public works and housing will
stimulate our total industrial sys-
tem and thereby facilitate the
return to a "peace economy".
This probable trend in govern-
ment expenditures to prevent a
post-armament crash will inevit-
able cause a further rise in the
national debt. A national debt of
$70,000, 000, 000. is not incon-
ceivable.
Naturally, their great increase
in national debt will necessitate
a rapid increase in national re-

SENIOR
PORTRAITS
by Mary Sue Rkgstaff
Edna Earle Heaton
Edna Earle Heaton was born
in Heaton, North Carolina, and
has lived there all her life. She
stared to school when she was
four year old, stayed in the Pri-
mer three years, and says they
were about to dismiss her be-
cause they thought she would
never finish school at that rate.
She did get through and proved
to be an outstanding student
both in high school and college.
She graduated from Cranberry
High School where she began her
music career in her senior year.
She is now finishing at Milligan
with a record no one would be
ashamed to have.
She came to Milligan for sev-
eral reasons. The first is because
her mother came here; second,
it is a comparatively inexpensive
college; third, it is located near
her home; and fourth, (main)
President D* rthick, recognizing
her as the type of student Milli-
gan wants, would not let her go
anywhere else.
She has been a member of the
Glee Club for three years, and
also a member of the Volunteer
Band. Her majors are music and
English and she says she would
rather sing than eat when hun-
gry.
Her hobbies are daydreaming
and collecting copies of famous
paintings. She does not have a
definite ambition, but she may
teach.
Her philosophy: "I don't wor-
ry. My own will come unto me,
providing I reach out and get it".
Her advice to underciassmen
is to work out your own philoso-
phy for she had to work out hers.
Two-thirds of "promotion"
is "motion."
Kickers don't pull and pul-
lers don't kick.
Force and fuss are not the

Intramurals Make Head-
way
Already two tournaments have
been held, two champions have
been crowned. Looking ahead we
see basketball, volley ball, and
Softball among the major intra-
mural sports coming up, together
with badminton, ping pong, arch-
ery and horseshoe. The girls are
fortunate in having as their bas-
ketball coach for this year, Jocko
Hayes, who has graciously con-
sented to give his time to the
cause. Girl's intramural basket-
ball will begin the second nine
weeks.
The executive committee, com-
posed of the captains of each ac-
tivity will mpet in the near future
to write a constitution for the in-
tramural program. We hope to
work out a system whereby a girl,
who participates regularly in in-
tramural activity may win a letter
in two years.
Aline HyderWins Bowling Tour-
nament
From the tennis court the intra-
mural group turned to the fascin-
ating sport of knockingdownpins.
Helen Graybeal, captain of bowl-
ing, drew up the brackets for a
round robin tournament. Interest
in the tournament increased as
the finals drew near, and the
competition grew keener. Miss
Kitty Allen and Miss Aline
Hyder came out leading their
respective brackets. The two
girls met last Wednesday after-
noon to decide the championship.
Miss Hyder took two games out
of three bowled, receiving first
place honors. The highest score
bowled during the tournament,
169, was made by Miss Hyder.

Looking At Sports
By Aubrey Painter
The football season has al-
ready been a success to many
Buffalo fans now that we have
victories over Teachers and
Maryville under our belts. To
many it was a success after the
Teachers victory, but to Prof.
Cochrane we had to beat Mary-
ville first. To most of us, we
must win them all.
One week after being defeated
by the Buffs, Maryville beat
King 7—0; King beat Emory-
Henry 38 — 0, and Emory- has
split two games with Teachers.
The Buffalo Fans are saying
that the crop of '40 Bufialoes is
the best in many years. Many
are saying that it is the line that
has improved the team more than
anything else. Let's give Jimmie
Senter a good hand.
Several of our Milligan players
have been making a strong bid
for all-conference honors this
year. Among those who are
ahead in the race are: Shag Rice,
Jo Jo Dellinger, and Fatty Riggs
in the line, with Big Blond Bill
Showalter, Hope Burton, and
Bob Easterling in the backfield.
These boys so far have been

Side-Line Notes

The Johnson City High School
band put on a fine show at the
half-time. The CarFon-Newman
drill squad formed the figures.
"C. N." and "M. C."
I suggest the students of Mil-
ligan College put on some type
of entertainment at the half- ime
For example, the Puerto Rican
girls put on a native program
The game was broadcasted
over W.J.H.L. with Eddie Cowl
at the mike. He did a swell job
and was assisted by Bobby Ad-
denbrook, Buffs' reserve tackle.
This year's squad has all the
earmarks of a Smokey Mountain
Conference championship team.
This will be the second time since
Coach Lacey has been work jig
at Milligan that he has won the
crown. We are very proud of you,
Coach.
The Tusculum team is the only
one in the path of the BuSs that
keeps them from the crown.
I suggest some of the Milligan
students voice their opinions on
the proposed champs in the
Smoky Mountain Conference,
uggested by Doug Bean, sports
editor of the Press Chronicle, Inc.
A man's pessimistic views
are often caused by an intimate

BUFFALOES
ROUT EAGLES
Milligan's Thundering Buffa-
loes turned the heat on and blis-
tered Carson Newman, 19-0, for
the conquest that deposited the
Smoky Mountain Conference
crown on the Milligan campus
for 1940.
The triumph proved a co=tly
one for Co*ch Steve Laccy's un-
beaten machine. EarIjT in the con-
flict, Co-Captain Bob Easterling,
one of the deadliest blockers in
the conference, went down with
a broken right ankle and will be
lost for the remainder of the year.
So today, only Tusculum lies in
the path of the rampant Buffs,
and the Pioneers aren't conceded
a ghost of a chance of stopping
the big bad Buffaloes.
Showalter had a prominent
role in every touchdown Milligan
manufactured, scoring the last
one himself.
In the second quarter, Sho-
walter passed to Red Blessing of
Kingsport, who made a beautiful
leap to nab the ball on the 25
and over the goal line for the
first score. Shorty Williams, an-
other sure-shot blocker, kicked
the point.
For the second score, Showal-
ter led a 34-yard march right
down to the one foot line, Bo
Brummitt tallied.
Then in the last quarter, the
big fullback, ably assisted on this
advance by Charlie Dagata and
Brummitt, went to the three
yard line and crashed through
the middle for the touchdown.
Twice the Jefferson City visi-
tors stiffened on the five yard
line and took the ball away from
Milligan on downs. The third
time the Buffs got that far,
Brummitt made his touchdown.
The Carson Newman backs
were checked by Spraker, Rice,
Dellinger, Captain Riggs and Co.

Fujita's home is in Tokyo, Japan,
but he has been in the United
States for three years continuing
his education which was begun
in I he Methodist University High
School in Tokyo. When he came
to America, this ambitious little
fellow could not even speak the
language, but he has obtained a
B. D and an M, A. degiee in
comparative religion from Drew
University in New Jersey, and
taken courses in education at the
University of Chicago. He has
even started work on a Ph. D.
and has hopes of returning to the
States in 1945 to complete it.
Johnny is sailing on October IS
from Seattle, Washington for his
home, where he plans to teach
child and adolescent psychology
in the Methodist University.
Johnny's father and two grand-
fathers are Methodist ministers,
and although he does not intend
to preach, he will be active in
religious work, for he has deep
convictions regarding Christian-
ity - - this in a land where only
one out of 400 people profess
Christ. Although the Congress of
Japan gave protection in 1939 to
three religions, Buddhism, Shinto
ism, and Christianity - t' e atter
are far outnumbered and are
often persecuted by the others.
Mr. Fujita tikes most of the
sports, and actively participates
in tennis and swimming When
asked what he liked must to do,
he answered, "To listen to mu-
sic", and he specifically stated
"not jazz". He also likes the
movies, southern hospitality, and
southern girls. He added the last
with a laugh, for in Japan there
are no boy and girl relationships
as there are in the Uniied States.
Eighty per cent of the marriages
are arranged by the parents, and
there are only two co-educational
schools of which he has know-
ledge. The prettiest places he has
seen in the States are northern
New Jersey and East Tennessee,
the latter being in climate and
scenery very much like his home-
land.

venue collections to meet debt re-
tirement and interest charges
The new higher taxes and the
still higher taxes proposed for
next year will be insufficient to
meet these debt charges; there-
fore, increased government bor-
rowing will of necessity play the
leading role in the attempt to
meet the charges incurred in the
defense program. Perhaps there
will be devised some plan to ma-
nipulate to Federal Reserve cre-
dit in such a way that some debt
retirement will be possible and
interest charges can be met.
Any plan which attempts to
handle the public debt by credit
manipulation is inviting wild
price inflation. Credit manipu-
lation, in the past, initiated a
spiral of rising prices. To combat
this possibility in the future
many authorities teel that the
government will adopt stringent
price controls. Brielly, these con-
trols may take one or more of the
four following forms: (1) Reliance
upon publicity and public opin-
ion to bring offenders into line;
(2) Voluntary cooperation be-
tween government and industry;
(3) Establishment of priority or-
ders - that is, actually requiring
manufacturers to produce essen-
tial goods, while prohibiting sales
to non-essential industries; and,
finally, when other means fail the
government can, under the new
draft act, commandeer plants.
Summarizing: Our national
debt will possibly rise to the sev-
enty billion dollar level after the
close of the present armament
program. Revenue derived from
taxation will be insufficient to
meet debt charges; therefore, re-
liance will be placed upon bor-
rowing. It is conceivable that cre-
dit manipulation will be adopted,
which will be followed by strict
government price controls aimed
at preventing inflation. In es-
sence this is government capita-
lism, and there is a possibility
that it will pe permanent.
We are seldom sorry for the
bitter letter we did not write.

In chapel the little Japanese
told of his country and its rela-
tionships with China and Amcr-
ca. He is greatly opposed to war,
but he believes that someday
China and Japan will be one na-
tion, as the United States. He
said that the Japanese considered
America her friend, but that the
Chinese do not think the United
States is a Christian nation be-
cause although we sympathize
with them we send war materials
to Japan. "Jesus needs our coop-

through Him we are all building
bridges of Christian friendship
that will unite the nations in

together-liness made possible on
ly by a universal press of inter
nationalism.
Of the making of books, ma-
gazines and the daily paper there
is no end, for which God be
thanked. These are they which
still continue to challenge the
thoughts of common mat to a
common understanding. The
press has the power to wield in
the interests of peace or war, of
poverty or of prodreis, of educa-
tion or the de-education of man.
The power of the press in a
changing form of society — dyna-
mic that it is — is limitless. The
press must continue to be the
"first line of defense in the bat-
tle for the maintenance of de-
mocracy." SO MOTE IT BE!
We can all be heroes in our
virtues, in our homes, in our
lives.

Japan ; Korea is a possession of
Japan and is ruled with a strong
hand. The inhabitants of Korea
being a subjective people do not
express th ir opinion of the pre-
sent war that is being carried on
with their neighbors.
The program was brought to a
close with the showing of motion
pictures which the two mission-
aries took on their trips. The pic-
tures showed the progress which
has been made toward tearh ng
the work of Christ as well as the
manner of dress, customt of these
people and a general view of the
way they live.
Dr. and Mrs. Chase have been
in Korea for four years, most of
this time was spent in Seoul the
capital of old Korea. The couple
have been doing missionary work
since 1927, spending much time
in Japan. They will return to
Japan first of year.
Miss Lily Smith, R. N. of Mil-

Chase, had charge of the pro-

Guest Speakers At
Chapel
W. R. Rigell, Pastor of the
Cen i ral Baptist church of John-
son City, was chapel speaker,
Friday, October 11. The subject
of his talk was, "Critical Mirid-
edness". He stressed the import-
ance of evaluating our experienc-
es, and emphatically stated that
to be critical does not mean to
be cynical.
Reverend Robert King, pastor
of the Second Presbyterian
Church in Johnson City, was vis-
iting preacher at chapel, Friday,
October S. His sermon was on
the importance of the little things
in life.

Christmas Holidays Begin Dec- 17
Two Extra Days Added
Milligan College will be dis-
missed at 1:00 Tuesday, Decem-
ber 17, lor the Christmas holi-
days. Classes will resume at 7:30
Saturday, January 4. This is a
rather lengthy vacation. Two ex-
tra days were added due to the
fact that classes were held on
Armistice and Thanksgiving.
That spirit which always pre-
cedes a vacation has taken the
students in its grasp. Thanksgiv-
ing baskets were distributed to
n.:edy and appreciative families
by various organizations. A su-
psrb dinner was served in the
dining hall. A special feature is
the decoration of Pardee Hall.
The huge gable has been strung
with gaily colored lights with an
electrically lighted "M" in the
center.
Dr. Paul T. Jones
Speaks to Pre - Meds
The Pre-Med. Club enjoyed
listening to a very delightful and
interesting speaker in the person
of Dr. Paul T. Jones, head chem-
ist of the Bemburg plants at. Eliz-
abethton, November 18.
Dr. Jone's speech was particu-
larly enlighting to students of
Organic chemistry. He gave the
developments of the different
processes of making rayon. The
latter part of his speech was spent
with discussing the newest types
of plastic matirial, the manufac-
turing of them, and their proper-
ties.
At the close of the address the
different members asked Dr.
Jones questions which he very
willingly answered and discussed.

Prominent Attorney
At the regular meeting of the
Social Science Club on Friday
evening, Nov. 22, the members
of the club were very fortunate
to welcome as their guest speaker
Mr. Roy C. Nelson, prominent
attorney of Elizabethton.
Mr. Nelson chose as his topic,
"Law as a Profession." He told
something of the struggles he
went through as a boy in order to
have the privilege of studying
law. He believes the practice of
law to be a very noble profession

Kegley merits distinction by his

Japanese Art Exhibited
Students of the nature and art

Thanksgiving
Amid life's rush and turmoil,
One day we pause - - recall
In solemn thanks to Thee, 0 Lord
For Thou hast given all.
Never a day at dawning,
Never a night that falls,
Never a moment of longing,
But that thy care befalls,
So now with all our thankfull hearts,
For all thy boundless giving,
Give we praise in greater part,
For life and joys of living.
— Hillmond Eudell Gravley
For Our Many Blessings
Let us give thanks not only on the day set
aside for Thanksgiving but on each day of the
year. Are we thankful for being Americans?
Therein lies our rights to certain freedoms — free-
dom of speech, freedom in religion and freedom
in politics for as we vision beyond the horizon we
become aware of the absence of freedom among
peoples of other lands. Everyone should be thank-
ful for these freedoms, and in so doing, pray "God
bless America, we are thankful for it."
Are we thankful for the homes from whicl;
we come? Often we forget the many sacrifices
which our parents make to send us to school, in
order that we may become better prepared to
live a life of service. We can show our apprecia-
tion to them by remembering them on every pos-
sible occasion.
Are we thankful for our school ; for trie prin>
ciples which it teaches, for the training we receive
here? The expressed purpose of such organiza-
tions is to mold our thoughts and ideals so that
we may be better citizens that we may contribute
something to mankind. While in school we can
express our appreciations by being loyal, by at-
tending classes, games, chapel programs and all
other school activities. The care of little things
proves our thankfulness. The value of a thing is
not realized until it is with us no longer. Students
in other lands do not have our privileges.
Let us remember to give thanks for the op
portunitics which make our lives richer.
The Milligan Spirit
As Christmas nears, we can glance backward
and see that as far as the old Milligan spirit is
concerned the first portion ol our school year is
about the tops. We believe that the new adminis-
tration is doing its part to help make this a suc-
cessful year; and we know that we must have
that spirit of cooperation, characteristic of Mil-
ligan College as a whole, before it can be an even
moderate success. Thus far, we have done exceed-
gly well. There seems to be a mutual under-
standing between the administration and our-
selves and we hope that it shall continue and
develop. We have every reason to believe that it
will live and grow more aR the years go by.
A BUFFALO HE(A)RD
It's a good thing, McNeely, that you've got
a girl at home, because after so long, girls lose in-
terest, you know.
We hear that Trotter was missed on the
campus last week-end by more than one girl.
COMMENTS
by J. F. HOLLY
"Business Confidence and
Recovery"
It is often assumed by the
people at large that ihe reelec-
tion of President Roosevelt will
be a retarding influence on busi-
ness confidence and thereby upon
the recovery of the economic
machine. This assumption is
based upon the belief that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is the enemy of
business, both large and small,
and that his aim is the crippling
ol our capitalistic society. Given
these assumptions the "p.seudo-
philosophers" are probably cor-
rect, for business confidence is
necessary to full business recov-
ery.
Yet, are we warranted in
granting the assumptions ol this
articulate group of political dis-
senters? Looking at the past we
can see little that Roosevelt has
done to create business confi-
dence. His promised "breathing
spells" never materialized and
many of his legislative proposals
in the social and economic fields
antagonized the business men of
the nation. These facts would
appear, on the surface, to justify
the conclusion that Roosevelt has
not been interested in restoring
business confidence. However,
there are at least two factors that
tend to neutralize and offset this
conclusion. Business men are be-
ginning to realize that, despite
eight years of tne New Deal,
Roosevelt has not brought them
to ruin. Secondly, Roosevelt will
provide, in all probability, a sti-
mulus to business confidence in
his attempts to avoid inflation
and rapid price rises.
Business men welcome small
price rises and their stimulating
effect; yet, they fear inflation
and the accompanying upward
spiral of prices. There is every
indication that President Roose-
velt will prevent rapid price in-
creases by credit manipulation
and stringent price controls.
Realizing this, will business men
not respond favorably to the ex-

BUFFALO
HE(A)RD
With two Thanksgivings this month there's
been a number of conflicts - - but maybe the
after-math will be all the sweeter.
Fortunately or unfortunately, one budding
romance and "The Date" was nipped by the ap-
pearance of the 'old flame' who carried her home
for the holidays.
Francis, you'd better stay alert — we ad-
mit Latin charm is charming but perhaps a little
dangerous.
Steve's Bowen's lament is quite understand-
able:
Her have gone,
Her have went.
Her have left I all alone.
Us cannot went to she.
Ah, crool woild --
How can it was?
What's the special meaning "I Love to Ride
the Ferry" hold for Trent and Harry?
It has been reported that some girls just a-
dore night strolls.
And speaking of songs why is it that Edna
Earle has revived "You May Not Be An Angel"?
From Pardee comes lip off that Caffee war-
bles of late 'Believe Me If All Those Endeavor-
ing Young Charms".
Comes to our ears that the life of the party
is usually the death of the furniture.
Girls, girls, you've slipped - - it took a high
school girl to initiate Warren Gilbert into our ex-
clusive institution "Conference"'.
When a conceited upperclassmen asked a
sophisticated young freshman for conference we
are told she replied, "No, but I'll remember and
admire your good taste."
All right, Leon, we admit all of uw girls aren't
"Angels" but come on, give us a break.
Mary McQeen takes a lot on herself when
she takes "The Three" home with her for the
week-end That must be some boy friend you
have, Mary, or you couldn't stay so true to him.
What's the matter, Showalter, it's not a date
book you need, it's a double.
There's a Kitty on the third floor who is
afraid of mice.
Men keep better in a cool dry atmosphere.
Kink's advice to Tate - Don't have "from
Ta te to his denrest Arliss" engraved on the ring
because if she changes her mind you can't use it
again. Just say ''From Tate to his first and only
love."
Lucile says the gurgling noise she makes at
conference is simply her trying to swallow the
line Jocko's throwing.
When in hot water, be nonchalant; take a
bath.
Helen Graybeal's theme song is "I'll Never
Smile Again" now. No wonder, after that out-
burst in chapel the other morning.
Gray Musick was in knoxville not long ago
to attend a football game, ne was supposed to go
to work in Elizabethton at 12 o'clock and at five
minutes until 12 he called up his boss and asked
if he could have the day off to attend a football
game.
Florence Hale is taking a special course in
writing love letters. Ask Dwight Whitt how she
is progressing.
Who said there couldn't be moonlight picnics
in one's room, with even a campfire??? Nobody!
But then it shouldn't be necessary!
We hear that Eldena Martin "Skip"s quite
a bit instead of walking.
We wonder what Bill Norton has that the
other boys haven't got. People hear too much,
don't they, Bill, - or see one?
Do rricott, someone is talking. Jeff's boy friend
at home won't take too much competition.
Bill Norton must be teaching astronomy
these clear nights, for we heard "Betsy"
Franklin asking the librarian for a book on the
subject.
For information concerning others' affairs
see Ed Birely or Lowell Cagle-especially tele-
phone conversations.
While walking round campus Sunday, Ruth
was overheard to ask Henry if Prof, and Carsie
are living in the Francis Derthick house, and
came the clever reply "Yts, don't you see, Ec-
stacy marks the spot."
SENIOR
PORTRAITS
by Mary Sue Ringstaff
Virginia Reneau
Virginia Reneau doesn't rem-
ember where she was born; she
went to so many grammar
schools that she doesn't remem-
ber where she started. She did
start the day she was five years
old and has been going ever since.
She did graduate from Newport
High School in 1937 with the
rest of the Senior class that year.
She doesn't know how she got
to Milligan and we wonder our-
selves! If anyone sees her acting
funny don,t think anything of it
. . . it's just Virginia.
She is an introvert, not espec-
ially shy but reserved. She says
she can't do anything and does
not want to learn.
Her ambition is to marry a
guy with a lot of money. She
doesn't advise the Freshman- - -
let them do as they please.
She has belonged to the Glee
Club and Dramatic Club at
Milligan. Her hobbies are danc-
ing- -especially folk and tap- -and
she is an artist. She doesn't like
dogs or rats.
Like Ashley Wilkes outlived
his time, so has Virginia- -her
major is French and there is no
France.
Dorothy Fox
Dorothy Fox, known as "Dot"
here, was born in Seymour, Ind-
iana. She began ber education
in Reddington Grade School, and
she graduated from Shields High
School. She was drum major in
the high school band for three
years; also belonged to the Glee
Club, Girls' Athletic Association,
Girls Trio, and Mixed Quartet.
She won the sectional and region-
al voice contest in high school in
the contralto division— in South-
ern Indiana, in which there were
three regions participating.
She just came to Milligan ; and
since she has been here, she has
belonged to the Glee Club and
German Club. In her freshman

Looking At Sports
By SPORTS EDITORS
The football season is over
but we extend our congratulat-
ions to Milligan's great squad.
They are the most powerful ag-
gregation ever to represent the
BufTs.
Just a few more notes of foot-
ball wanderings. Did you know
that Showalter completed 43 per-
cent of his passes and averaged
8 yards per try from scrimage.
Also that Milligan had twelve
men who scored for her during
the past season.
That the Buffs amassed 179
points to 33 for her 9 oponents.
Tbis is an average of about 20
points for Milligan for 4 per game
for her opponents.
That Showalter scored the
most points, 49. While next in
line are Blessing and Dagata
with 24 each.
That Puggs and Showalter are
in One for A. P. Little Ail- Ameri-
can. This is easy to see but hard
to understand how they missed
Dagata.
That prospects for a good
basketball season are rosy. A re-
turn of several veterans plus some
promising freshmen are giving
"Doc" Eyler no nightmares.
Orchids to our footballl staff:
Coach Lacey, Coach Senter, and
Coach Webb.
Lets all stand behind the bas-
ketball team and keep up our
fine spirit. They deserve it. After
all it's our team.
Intramural Group Hike
To Johnson City
Faculty members riding in
Buicks, Plymouths and on bicy-
cles were surprised to see a double
line of Milligan Co-eds happily
hiking in tbe general direction
of Johnson City. Upon closer
observation they recognized Mrs.
Eyler and eleven girls of the in-
tramural group and one future
member, Peggy Eyler.
Yes, the}' did it, TIip three and
one-half miles were covered in
fifty minutes. Of course there
were several stops along the wa}'
when cries of, "Wait, let me tie
my shoe," or "Let us catch up,"
halted the group.
After such strenuous exercise
the group was greatly in need
of refreshment; consequently, the
"Dixie Barbecue" was taken by
storm. The waiters were surprised
that their refreshing pauses were
not "cokes" but rather chocolate
milk.
If time had permitted, the
group would have been physically
able to have hiked back, but lack
of time forced them to accept
Dean Eyler's proposal of a Lift.
Basketball Squad Starts
Practice
Three Lettermen Return
Coach C. M. Eyler has called
together a group of about twenty
boys from which he will select his
basket-ball squad this year. The
nucleus of the squad will be Cap-
tains "Jocko"' Hayes and Charles
Akard, returning lettermen from
last year's squad. '1 hey and Ray-
mond Cure, are the only letter-
men to report thus far. Gone
from last year's squad will be:
Captains Clyde Cooper and
Bernie Webb, Johnee Howington
and Harry St.illard. These men
will be hard to replace since all
four were regulars. Three of them
were four-year lettermen and
were lose through graduation.
There are four veterans who
did not letter last year that are
expected to do Dr. Eyler some
good. They are: Torbett, Cross,
Blessing and Pierce. This brings
the total of old men to seven.
New men looking good are
Harry Long, Doug Riddle, and
Willard Grant. There are still
several men to report from the
football squad. Among these are
Pie Garner, Ben Webb, J. E.
Penny and Herman Lane.

outstanding students and all have felt his absence.
3uffs Conquer Rambling
Reds 42-21
In a great ball game, played
■efore a large holiday crowd, the
Milligan College Buffaloes de-
feated a powerful Bluefield elev-
n 42 to 21. The team of Coach
Lacey displayed power, a tricky
offense, and a stalwart defen-ein
defeating a fighting but outclas-
sed Bluefield team.
Milligan scored in the first
quarter when Dagata tallied on
an end around from the ten yard
line. Williams converted the ex-
tra point.
Bluefield thtn took over the
limelight and held it until just
before the half closed. BluefiHd
marched to the BufTs 36 yard
line. They scored on a pass from
Sarver lo Fisher, who also kicked
the extra point.
Looking far from the powerful
outfit, it is, Milligan was unable
to get started until just before
the half end?d. In the waning
minutes of the first half Milligan
scored her second touchdown.
Showalter plunged over from the
one yard line. Bireley place-
kicked the extra point. The half-
time score was Milligan 14. Blue-
field 7.
Soon after the second half be-
gan, the Milligan offense began
to click. Milligan marched down
the field and scored her third
touchdown. Brummitt scored af-
ter setting it up with a beautiful
run. Bireley converted.
Tbe Buffs' next score came af-
ter a forty yard jaunt by Black-
well, who made a spectacular in-
terception of a Bluefield pass.
Bireley converted again.
Coach Lacey's reserves played
most of the last quarter and
against them Bluefield scored her
two touchdowns. These scores
came due to passes. The Ramb-
ling Reds were unable to pene-
trate the second string line. One

THE STAMPEDE
Buffalettes Have Ful
Program
The Buffalettes did their first
scrimmaging of the season last
Wednesday*, when Coach G. C.
Hayes gave them a thorough
work-out. The girls showed lack
of training and poor organization;
however, many of them gave
promise of doing good work.
There are about twenty girls out
for basketball. They come from
high schools in which both two-
division and three-division girls'
basketball is played. Hayes an-
nounced that two-divisional will
be used, as it is the more general-
ly accepted form.
Executive Committee Entertained
Mrs. Eyler entertained the
executive committee of the Intra-
mural group and her two assist-
ants in her apartment, Saturday
night, November 16. The group
chatted in the kitchen, while they
cracked nuts and made candy.
Further Plans Made
The entire Intramural group
met Tuesday tu discuss more
weighty matters. Aline Hyder
submitted the new constitution
A few changes were suggested
The question of dues was di>cus-
sed, some holding that they would
be an asset, others, a liability, to
the further growth of the group.
It was moved that track be
introduced into the intramural
program. The suggestion that a
field day be held in the spring
was received with enthusiasm. The
new constitution named hiking
as one of the intramural activi-
ties, one point per mile to be
given to those who participate in
this activity. A hike to Johnson
City was planned for Saturday
under the supervision of Mrs.
Eyler.
Table tennis is gaining increas-
ing popularity at this season. A
ping-pong tournament will be
held in the immediate future,

tain of table tennis and bowling, j
In The Chapel
Rev. K. J. Jaroszewicz
K. J. Jaroszewicz, missionary
for the Churches of Christ in
Eastern Poland, visited Milligan
on Tuesday, November 18. Rev
Jaroszewiczgraduated from John-
son Bible College, Kimberlin
Heights, Knoxville, Tennessee in
1916. He has carried on mission-
ary work in Poland since 1923.
Rev. Jaroszewicz' message to
the student body was a vivid
picture of the suffering men,
women and children in war-torn
Europe He told many incidents
of how he and Mrs. Jarorz wicz
narrowly escaped death due to
persecution of the men in author
ity in Poland, Germany and other
places.
Hyder- Lodter Nupt
Miss Jessie Trout
The student body of Millligan
College were honored to have
with them Miss Jessie Trout at
the regular chapel hour on Mon-
day, November 25. Miss Trout is
a returned missionary worker and
secretary to Kagawa, the out-
standing Christian leader of
Japan and probably of the world.
Mis.s Trout brought a message
about the Japanese people with
whom she was associated while
carrying on missionary work in
Japan.
Dr. Harry Keller
Dr. Harry Keller, rector of the
Episcopal Church of Johnson
City, was guest speaker for
chapel service on Tuesday, Nc
ember 26. Dr. Keller is a familiar
figure at Milligan College and
the college students are always
glad to have him.
Dr. Keller brought a very in-
spiring message on the subject
"What is Man?"
Boys Plan Party
An event which is always look
ed forward to with anxiety is the
annual boys' party for the girls.
This year it will be a Christmas
party to be given December 13.
The boys assure the girls that al-
though this is on Friday 13. they
expect to show every one who at-
tends a merry time. This party
will be the climax of pre-holiday
activities.
Character zed by simplicity
and dignity was the marriage of
Miss Carsie Hyder to Edward G.
Lodter, Thanksgiving afternoon
at four o'clock in the Milligan
College chapel.
Tall pine and banked ever-
greens were a lo\ely background
for the improvised altar which
was marked by tall floor baskets
filled with large white chrysan-
themums. An arch before which
the vows were plighted centered
the altar, with two seven branch
candelabra on either side. Ceil-
ing lights were extinguished and
wall lights cast soft blue shadows
over the altar as the candelabra

This analysis cannot be pushed
to the limit for it if impossible to
to predict what the President
will do in the future. He has
said to his Hyde Park friends
that he is "the same Roosevelt".
If this statement is true, the
above analysis should be valid
If the statement is false, the fu-
ture is unpredictable.
In conclusion, the point should
be made that President Hoose-
velt owes to the nation a state-

ture. Such a statement would
remove many unanswerable ques-
tions and would permit most
groups to know where they stand.

Principles of Taxation
Taxes are compulsory charges
imposed upon citizens for the
supporl ol the government. Since
taxes are paid for the general
services of government and not
for any special benefit derived by
the individual taxpayer, distribu-
tion of the tax burden presents
several difficult problems. The
total amouit of revenues raised
by taxation and the growing
burden of taxes further compli-
cates the problem of tax distri-
bution. With these qualifications
in mind, the following remarks
are indicative of the recognized
principles or tests of a sound
tax system.
First, taxes should produce
sufficient revenue to meet the
fiscal needs of the government.
Second, taxes should be con-
venient to the payer. Complica-
ted tax laws arid complex tax
administration are obnoxious to
the citizens. Any tax is distaste-
ful to the taxpayer; therefore,
why aggravate the situation with
unnecessary complications?
Third, an element of certainty
is essential to a sound system
of taxation. On the one hand, le-
gal certainty of taxation means
that tax evasion would be impos-
sible. On the other, economic
certainty demands that the
government should be certain of
the incidence of the particular
tax. In other words, who pays
the tax? Can the tax, for exam-
ple, be shifted from the manu-
facturer to the consumers? The
shifting of a tax may be altogether
proper; however, the govern-
ment should determine the inci-
dence of the tax and act accord-
ingly.
Fourth, the system of taxation
should be just or equitable. The
tax burden can be apportioned
in conformance with either of two
principles: the benefit principle
or the ability principle, or a blen-
ding of the two principles. The
benefit principle holds that indi-

The Great Gift
Richard Cantrell
A mocking bird greeted the
early morning by singing the
sweetest song a bird can sing.
Perched high on his majestic
throne far upon the mountain
side, he sings sadly for he is very
lonely. All is still and silent but
the wind, with its whipping and
stinging lash. Howling and moan-
ing it sweeps the mountain side,
tugging and tearing all that's in
its path. The trcs seem stolid
and stunned, hypnotized by the
cold weather. Small rivulets
trickle downward, running rapid-
ly so that they might escape from
this tortuous place: Yet the si-
lence is broken only by the mel-
ancholy echo of the ethereal crea-
ture. Far below a valley stretch-
es out ever increasing in expanse
far into the infinity. The rolling
hills of the valley are dotted with
trees, idly standing as time goes
on. The sun is wiped out by a
towering cloud and dismal dark-
ness settles over the valley. The
trees are sighing to each other in
a hushed voice and the mocking
bird has retreated to a warm and
dry place. Snow flurries began to
drift downward, ever increasing
in abundance, floating through
space each performing its duty
as a true soldier. The wind has
given up. Even the clouds above
stare with ignorance to what has
taken place.
Yet today is a happy one, for
many millions of persons because
Santa is visiting the homes.
Bright fires and bright faces
dwell throughout the land. Food
is plentiful and all is merry and
bright.
Even not so, it is true of all
people but down in the valley
stands a lonely shack, burdened
by old age it leans and is bowed
by the sorrow inside. The chim-
ney with its lazy smoke curling
upward is crumbly and black
with snot of many years and is
badly in need of repair. The roof
is sagged and the boards are
reaching upward as if to protect
themselves from the falling ava-
lanche. The window panes are
broken and rags and cardboard
take their place. The steps are
broken and rocky, demolished by
years of tramping.
Inside is only one small dingy
room "stuffed" and piled with
useless articles as such would ac-
cumulate in a savage home Three
persons lived here, but they live
no more. For todny came the
greatest gift a man ever expects
to receive, an angel from heaven
has ascended and taken their
troubled souls to paradise.
Jim Reeves, his wife and small
son lay on thf floor covered by
old musty quilts, sleeping their
last sleep. They have perished
from this land due to lack of
food and the stinging cold that
crept into this house.
Time was when they were alive
living happily and contented but
without food, work or shelter
they no longer could live.
Some day some passerby will
discover these inert forms and
when they do, may they respect
these humble, honest and poor
people who attained the greatest
gift that mortal man can achieve
on any day, even Christmas.

COMMENTS

viduals should be taxed accord-
ing to the benefits which they re-
ceive from the various govern-
ment services. This means, in
effect, that the cost of various
services would be apportioned
on this basis. The ability princi-
ple states that individuals should
bs taxed according to their abili-
ty to pay taxes lor the support
of government sen-ices.
Taxation on a benefit basis
would be regressive; that is, the
poor would be taxed much more
heavily than the rich because
they are more dependent on go-
vernment assistance and protec-
tion. Taxation on an ability ba-
sis would be progressive for the
wealthy class would bear more
of the cost of government, than
the poor class would bear. It is
impossible to base ac entire tax
svstem on either of these prin-
ciples. Therefore, for fiscal ade-
quacy, some combination of the
benefit and ability principles is
the most feasible solution If the
use of some taxes with progres-
sive rates offsets the regressive
effects of other taxes, a rough
proportionality of the tax bur-
den may be obtained which is
about the only practical justice
to be expected from any tax .-ys-
tem.

years at Miiligan, left, wont to
State Teachers College in Mem-

Sienna College in Memphis, and
then to the University of Illi-

a member of the Phi Mu Soror-
ity. Then she came back to Mii-
ligan, and will finish in January.
Since she has been at Miiligan
she has been a member of the
Dramatic Club- Her reason for
coming back to Miiligan the sec-
ond time was because the old
Miiligan Spirit just got htr.
She plans to get a job if any-
one will employ her. She likes
economics and bookeeping, but
her major is English; her minors
are French and Education. She
says she would like to go back to
Illinois formore work in Account-
ing or Economics - maybe next
summer.
Her hobbies are ice skating (If
she had any ice and ice skates),
and going to picture shows. When
asked if she had any outstanding
characteristic, she replied ."The
only' outstanding things I have
are my bunions."
Her ambition is to have as
much fun out of life as she can.

College Buys Movie
Projector
For several years Milligan ha
felt the need for a movie project-
ing machine, and at la^t plans
for the purchase of a machine are
being realized under the sponsor-
ship of Dean C. M. Eyler. On
January "20, a new portable Vic-
tor animatophone was exhibited
at the college presenting several
educational pictures.
The machine is being purchas-
ed by means of gifts, coca-cola
and candy sales, and receipts
from pictures that will be shown.
To date $8.35 from coca-colas
and candy has been made toward
the purchase of the machine
The projector itself costs S3 IS. 50
the two speakers, S75., and the
turn table S37., making a total
of S439.50. Dean Eyler is taking
entire financial responsibility,
and the student body is cooper-
ating wholeheartedly in support-
ing this project.

The topic of discussion of the
Forum group at their first meet-
ing of this year was "Business
Conditions for 1941 and Nation-
al Defence, "a most appropriate
topic for open discussion when
the opinion of the average Amer-
ican is being expressed and
molded.
Many important questions
were discussed : Shall we have
butter or guns? Or, according to
some leading economist, could
we have butter and guns if we
rearranged our present industry
economy? Shall we build new
plants for armaments, or shall
we convert some of our operat-
ing industry into armament
plants?

the former home ol the beloved
American poet and scholar,
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Enjoyed Unbeaten Year At Milligan
By "Red" Miller
When contacted last night re •
gardinga story carried in an out-
of-town paper yesterday to the
effect that he was being given
serious consideration for the
post of head coach at V. P. I.,
Coach Steve Lacey of Milligan
College said that he had no
statement to make at this time.
Lacey admitted that he had
talked with representatives from
V. P. I. at the recent coaches
meeting in New York, but said
that nothing definite had been
discussed one way or the other.
It was a case of V. P. I. being in
the market for a head coach, and
Lacey being given consideration
along with other outstanding
young coaches for the job.
The blond young gentleman,
who coached one of the outstand-
ing small college elevens of the
nation last season in the Milligan
College Buffaloes happens to be
the type of fellow who discusses
Mr. Lacey very little, but it is
known that he has been contact-
ed by other schools than V. P. I.
It is also known that Coach
Lacey is well satisfied with his
present connections, and that
the offer from another school
would have to be rather attract-
ive in order to arouse any undue
enthusiasm on his part.
There is little doubt that
Coach Lacey could make a con-
nection with a larger institution
should he feel the urge to start
job hunting, not alone because he
has that handy knack of being
able to turn out championship
football teams but because he
happens to be a better than aver-
age basketball, baseball, and
track coach. For a number of
years in high school coaching,

to eight points. At the half, the
score was tied at 18. Coach Hayes
played all the girls. The second
team, were sent in at the half,
but, the first team again took
their places. They gained on

Golden Gloves
Charlie D'Agata Light Heavy-

Charlie D'Agata, Millig
College athlete, was crowned
light-heavyweight king at Knox-
ville at the Golden Gloves Tour-
nament. X harlie is well known
for his football and track ability,
but until he won the tournament
little was known of his prowess
in the ring. Charlie represented
the Bristol Civitan Club at Knox-
ville due to his winning his divi
sion at Bristol.
Charlie is supposed to go to
Nashville for the Golden Gloves
tourney at that city. He will be
a member of the K. A. A team.
Charlie did the school as well as
himself proud at Bristol and
Knoxville and we know he will
continue the good work at Nash-
ville. All we can say is good luck,
keep punching, and don't lead
with your chin.
Union Defeats Milligan
Hand Buffs 45-33 Drubbing
A strong Union College quintet
defeated Milligan College 45 - 33,
January 9 at Milligan. The
Union aggregation showed a
sharp-shooting, accurate-passing
team and rather easily defeated
a smaller Buffalo team. Harrigan
and Cartmill set the pace for the
Union College team scoring 13
points each. Hayes scored 10
points for Milligan.
Buffs Beat Eagles
Saturday night the Milligan
College team hit the comeback
trail when they nosed out the
Carson-Newman Eagles by the
score of 41- 40. The game was
close throughout and always in
doubt. It was Milligan's first
S. M. C. triumph. It was a fast
game and the speed kept the
fans in frenzy. Milligan led 24-22
at the half. The second half saw
the lead see*saw from one team
to the other. In the last minute
of play diminutive Charlie Akard
shot a foul and made the score
41-40. Carson-Newman was un-
able to score in the few seconds
left. Jones, who made 23 points,
and Nevils were outstanding for
the Eagles. Hayes, who sank 23
points, also Akard were especial-
ly bright for the Buffs.

a foul for the winning 3 points.
The Buffaloes held a comfortable

minutes that the Tusculum team
seriously threatened. rlhe Buffs
were led in victory by Hayes,
Pierce and Cure. Spargo and
Miller were outstanding for the
Pioneers.
The Milligan College team re-
mained in the win column at the
expense of the King College team
to the tune of 45-37. Milligan led

Teachers Win Out 43 - 36
In a game played at Teachers
College gym the ETTC quintet
defeated a stubborn Milligan
Col lege team to the tune of 43-36.
The game was exceptionally
rough; several players were
waved out because of excess of
fouls. The rivalry between the
schools was very noticeable and
flared up often. Teachers led for
most of the game although it was
always close. Teachers led 20-18
at the half. Kxum and Lovegrove
were outstanding for the Bucs,
while Hayes and Cure starred
for the Buffs It was the Buffs'
second SMC defeat.

T.he Tragedy of
Macbeth Made Fatal
By David irotter
Long before Hitler conquered
Norway, there were a couple of
generals called Macbeth and
Banquo who had just finished a
hot time killing some Norsemen.
On the way home they met three
witches who were always doing
mean things. Anyway they told
Macbeth he was going to be
made the big blow of two joints
and be king, but not his children.
As soon as the witches left the
king came up and informed Mac-
beth he had been made head of
the two dumps. He went quickly
to tell his old woman, a fashion-
able society dame, who wanted
all the cookies she could get and
didn't care at all whom she kill-
ed to get them. She threw a big
party for the old king whose
life she was going to take. Af-
ter all but the aforesaid were in,
Macbeth slipped in and stabbed
the guy and smeared blood
over the grooms When the vile
deed was discovered the plan to
divert suspicion didn't work as
supposed and it fell on Macbeth
anyhow. At this, the king's sons
took to their heels, thus fulfilling
the witches' prophecy
Now Macbeth, being a wise
lad, wouldn't forget that the
witches said his kids would not
reign, and Banquo's would. This
riled him and so the queen decid-
ed to throw a party for Banquo
and his son Fleance. On the way
there Macbeth 's gang killed ole
Banquo but Fleance put the slip
on 'em. Banquo's ghost showed
up at the party and run him wild
but the Queenie saw something
was wrong so she got rid of the
old dopes present. Then Macbeth
went to see the boys who knew
he was coming on account of they
were witches. They made up
some concoction to see the future
with frogs, eyes, mummies, and
such merchandise. Some spirits
showed up to tell him to put an
eagle eye on McDuff, boss of
Fife. Out of the witches' hole
Western Union informed him
McDuff was headed his way.
Pronto Macbeth, the dog, killed
MacDuffs family. To ride on the
band wagon, all Macbeth 's nobles
went to join with MacDuff who
had assembled a doggy army in
England for the parade. In no
time everybody hated Macbeth;
even the queen committed suzy-
side. Then MacDuff came over
and cut Macbeth 's head off and
gave the head to Malcolm, who
took over the throne and had a
"head" start toward a Happy
New Year.
Book Review
FREEDOM FAREWELL
by Phyllis Bentley
Phyllis Bentley opens Freedom
Farewell in such a manner that
the reader is assured of adven-
ture, excitement and romance
throughout the book. Young
Caesar fleeing through the rain
drenched in a raging storm has
experiences which are reported
by Bentley in a style equalled by
few authors.
Caesar as a youth set his sharp
mind of cold reasoning to free
Rome from the grasp of the Sen-
ate. Even in his youth a know-
ledge far superior to that of his
associates could be distinguished.
Laughing and scoffing at the
plans of revolt against the Sen-
ate by his friends, he foretold
the failure of the venture. By
using his wit along with other
honest and dishonest means he
attempts to accomplish what the
revolt failed. Gradually he comes
into public notice.
In striving to accomplish this
end, Caesar used every available
means, even those he loved. His
daughter he married to Pompey.
Only a short time before, he had
desroyed Pompey's home. He
used against Cato, Cato's own
sister, and his own mistress, Ser-
vilia, probably the only woman
Caesar loved. The unending love
and loyalty of his soldiers placed

chosen received less than 50 per-
cent of the total votes cast. No
winning; candidate has received
more than 61 percent of the to-
tal popular vote.
The percentages of the total
electoral vote vary widely - from
just over 50 percent for Hayes
to over 98 percent for Koosevelt
in the 1936 election. The dia-
gram emphasizes an important
tendency for the winning candi-
date to receive a larger percent'
age of the total electoral vote
even though his popular vote
percentage does not increase to
an appreciable extent. The im-
pression is created that there is a
tendency for our presidential to
become one-sidei. The truth
which the diagram reemphasizes
is that our form of democracy
has operated with impressive
success over a long term of years
despite the fact that most of our
presidents have been chosen by
only small majorities of the pop-
ular vote, while a considerable
proportion of them did not even
have majorities.

more things about the island of
Puerto Rico; since many people
ask questions about the island,
that is the better way to answer
those questions.

The question in 1941 is not
"how much will they buy?1', but
"will we be able to supply the
demand?" In 1929, supposedly a
peak year, factories were pro-
ducing at only 80% capacity;
and in 1939 only about 70 or 75%
capacity Through 1940 and in-
to 1911 most plants are produc-
ing at capacity. Steps are being
taken to meet the increased de-
mand. This is a forced recovery
and all agreed that we must
watch the trend carefully, for
full employment is only one
condition of pros-perity.
Professor J. F. Holly pointed
out that the war in Europe is
primarily between the iwo great
powers in Europe; England and
Germany. We are supporting
England because she has a dem-
ocratic form of government and
that the people are really fighting
for their freedom. We oppose
Germany because she represents
the dictator form of government,
the most repugnant to a demo-
cratic country such as ours.

the class of 1937, who is now lo-

ness. He talks with friends expressing freely his
opinion on any subject, without fear. He does not
expect his mail to be opened nor his telephone
tapped. He worships God in the fashion of his
choice. He changes his place of dwelling without
reporting to the police. He has his problems and
uncertainties, but he is not overshadowed with
fear of sudden death. He is the American youth
full of ambition and courage ready to take up the
challenge of life. His task is taken up in a "na-
tion with liberty and justice for all", so establish-
ed and preserved by his forefathers.
Somewhere in the wheels of time, an extra
cog has been slipped in, that of selfishness and
creed. This extra cog, unimportant as it may
seem, causes the whole international system to be-
come out of adjustment Men mad for powt-r
have arisen, careless ol human pain and agony,
but with an ambition only to satisfy their own
selfish desires. The world is, without mercy,
drawn into choas and discomfort at their de-
structive intentions.
In Europe we see a world of hardships, blood-
shed, and terror. Liberty is taken, property seiz-
ed, young men slaughtered, children taken from
parents, their bodies cold and poorly clad, their
hunger great, and their pain unbearable.
Suffering such as this never brought perma-
nent peace. Treaties of peace may be drawn on
paper and signed by men of authority, but what
of the thousands who died and the millions of do!
lars worth of property destroyed.
The American youth will soon take hold of a
problem for which he is not responsible, but be-
cause of his American conception takes hold with
courage and stamina. To take upon his shoulders
these responsibilities indeed require courage.
Our forefathers fought here for the liberty we
now enjoy - - freedom of speech, freedom of press,
and all the rights set forth in our Constitution.
They made the supreme sacrifice because they
thought it their duty to stand on their feet and
demand the rights which they obtained and gave
to us.
The greatest challenge to American youth to-
day is to preserve, if necessary, to the last drop
of loyal blood in his body that cause symbolized
by the red, white, and blue as "one nation indi
visible, with liberty and justice for all".

Looking At Sports
By SPORTS EDITORS
We Eire glad that Coach Lacey
will remain with us. We realize
that V. P. I. passed up a groat
coach, but for our sake we are
glad. To most of us Milligan
wouldn't be Milligan without
Coach Lacey. Good luck to you
in your work here, Coach.
The track team may bring
Milligan another S. M. C. title
with D'Agata, Childers, Dellinger
and the others of last year's team
plus some promising freshmen
should make it a gold-letter sea-
son for the track team.
The tennis prospects are good,
"Doc" Thompson has three of
last year's team returning. With
Hydcr, Painter, and Mathes to
act as a nucleus, things could be
worse.
The baseball prospects are
black and dreary. Coach Lacey
has only four lettermen return-
ing. He has two outfielders, a pit
cher, and a catcher returning
from last year's classy aggrega-
tion which won eleven and lost
only four games to college com'
petition.
This corner would like to con-
gratulate G. B. Pierce for his
play on the court this year. He
has improved by leaps and
bounds and may rank among
Milligan's best.
All-Stars Selected
Eight girls who participated in
intra-mural basketball were sel-
ected by Coach G. C. Hayes
as all stars. These eight girls will
be given 100 points toward a
seal or letter.
The forwards are : Eldena
Martin, Estelle Skecn, Sally
Bledsoe, and Kitty Allen.
The guards are; Mae Kiser,
Margaret Bird, Mary Rachel
Wolfenbarger, and Helen Gray-
beal.
Intramural Volley Ball
Tournament Planned
With the basketball season
over, the intramural group start-
ed volley ball last week. About
sixteen girls reported for practice.
According to the 1941 volley ball
rules for women an official team
consists of eight players. A larg-
er group than has reported is
necessary to build up two intra-
mural teams. The girls wish to
urge all those interested in volley
ball to join the group on Wed-
nesdays and Fridays at 4:30 for
practice. The season will be con-
cluded by a game with Teachers
College and a tournament held
between two intramural teams.
Badminton has come a long
way since the days when ban-
queting revellers invented the
game by sticking feathers in wine
stoppers and hatting them back
and forth across the table. It is
fast becoming a popular sport.
Initiates pronounce it a stren-
uous game. The intramural group
find it a fascinating sport and are
staging a badminton tournament.
Buffs Beat Tusculum To
Close Smoky Loop
The Milligan College Buffaloes
closed their 1941 Smoky Moun-
tain Conference, Tuesday 22,
with a stampede in the final min-
utes of play to down Tusculm
College 36-34.
Paced by Pierce, "trick shot"
forward who racked up 17 points
for the evening and McNeeley
wo turned in a tally of 5 points
the Buffs lead at the half way
mark 19-16. The Pioneers showed
a flashy offensive, Don Spargo
"hooped" 10 points, Miller suc-
ceeded in holding Capt. Hayes
to 5 points to turn in the best
defensive work for the evening.
Buffalettes Beat Teachers
Two car-loads of Milligan
Buffalettes left the campus Feb-
ruary 6, with only one thought
in mind— to beat Teachers. The
score was, Teachers 24, Milligan
26.
In order to celebrate the
victory Mrs. C. M. Eyler, direct-
or of the physical education de-
partment of Milligan College,
chaperoned the BufTalettes as
they enjoyed supper at the
Dixie" and a movie. They
signed in" at 10:30, tired but
happy. Miss Cole, head of the
physical education department
at Teachers College enjoyed the
occasion with the group.

Buffs Stop Bucs
M il ligan Wins 48-44
Milligan College defeated the
Teachers quintet Feb. 20 at Mil-
ligan by the sr-ore of 48-44. The
game was exceptionally close and
the Buffs pulled ahead in the
last few minutes to win. It was
sweet revenge for the Buffs as
the Bucs had previously beaten
"Doc" Eyler's lads at Teachers
College. The game was a free
scoring affair with Teachers lead-
ing all the way until the Buf-
faloes pulled into the lead which
they kept. Moore paced the Bucs
with 18 points. G. B. Pierce and
McDowell led the Milligan Col-
lege offense with 14 & 9 points
respectively. Teachers led at the
half 26-23.
Eastman Defeats Buffs
Tec Wins 51-32
The fast Tennessee Eastman
independent team won a rather
easy victory over the Milligan
College quintet. The Eastman
team showed a good offense and
a more than adequate defense. It
was Eastman's second win of the
season over the "Green and
White." The Buffaloes were away
off on their play. This is no alibi
and takes nothing from the East-
man team which is one of the
best teams that the Buffs have
played all year. The entire East-
man team played excellent ball
and to choose a star would be
unfair to the others. Pierce paced
the Buffs.
Milligan Defeats
Carson Newman
Buffs Win 34-27
In a game at Jefferson City
the Milligan College team defeat-
ed Carson Newman to the tune
of 34-27. The Milligan team dis-
played a smooth passing, sharp
shooting, and close guarding team
It was Milligan's second victory
over the Eagles. The Buffs led
mest of the game but only pulled
safely into a good lead in the
late staaes of the game. It was
Milligan's thirds. M. C. triumph.
The Buffaloes were paced by
Hayes and Pierce. The Eagles
were led by Jones.
King Tramples Buffaloes
Big Red Wins 43-28
The King College team defeat-
ed Milligan 43-28 in a game play-
ed at Bristol. This victory atoned
for a defeat suffered earlier in
the season. It was a case of a big
team being on. 'ihe King quint
seldom missed a fhot and stayed
top of the ball the whole
game. The King team was paced
by Vance, 'i he Buffs were led by
Hayes.

The New York Times Book
Review says: "His memories go

a vanished era. It is a story of
today and a stimulus for to-
morrow. ... a high-spirited and
absorbingly interesting book,
hearty in its zest for living, as-

essentially a book of incident
which may be funny or tragic, or
exciting, always full of human
brotherhood and of git-up-and

affairs - the Kulugyi Szemle -
published at Budapest. He was
lecturer at the University of
Budapest. He was secretary of
the Danube league, an institu-
tion seeking the solution of the
many problems of Ceniral
Europe. He has been a frequrnt
contributor to European period-
icals and has written extensively
in the field of internal relations.
He has frequently visited most
of the important and largest
cities of Europe and has part-
icipated in numerous European
conferences on world affairs.
Dr. Doman in his address on
Monday morning stated that he
believed the "crisis between to-
talitarianism and democracy
would come in the Balkan states,
and the victor of the present
Balkan crisis would win the sec-
ond world war". Hep'^o believed
that a united Balkan in which
the several states are enlarged in
territory and increased in econ-
omic and political powers with a
sufficiently equipped and train-
ed army would put an end to the
constant agitation with the Bal-
kans because they would have
enough man power to check any
aggressive neighbor. He also re-

The class in piay directing pre-
sented the first of its studio plays
on Saturday, March 15. "Indian I
Summer" was directed by Kay;

as her technical director. Thisi
play was a delightful comedy I
whose charm was enhanced by
the 1850 costumes. Members of
the cast were Henry Kegley, who
scored again, this time in the
role of the eccentric old bachelor,
Brigueville; Margie Whisner, a
newcomer to the Milligan College

uncle's wishes, to persuade Bri-

Men of Vision
BY DR. R. J. BENNETT
* * *
Dr. and Mrs. Josephus Hopwood
They Served to the Uttermost
Editor's Note:
Dr. Bennett has for some time been writing
a series of articles called "Men of Vision", which
appear daily in the Elizabethton Star. It is by
special permission that we are able to print this
article from the March 12 issue.
"Christian Education, the Hope of the
World," the motto of Milligan College, was coin-
ed by Mrs. Hopwood. Mountain Industrial In-
stitute, Grundy, Virginia, Lynchburg College
(Virginia Christian College) and Milligan College
stand as living memorials to the service of these
friends of God and man. These were "two hearts
that beat as one" in the founding and administ
ering of educational institutions.
Man who achieves is widely misunderstood
and misrepresented. The greater the accomplish-
ment, the more bitter may be the barbed critic-
isms. Here were a couple who were most univer-
sally loved by faculties, student bodies and that
great galaxy of friends who supported by prayers
and "payments" the work they consecrated them-

ing, March 22 at eight o'clock, in Hopwood Mem-
orial Christian Church, with Dr. H. J. Derthick

A background of evergreens interspersed with
floor candelabra holding burning white tapers
provided an effective background for the double
ring ceremony. Aisles of the church were marked
by tall white floor baskets rilled with white carna-
tions, gladioli, sweet peas and fern.
Mrs. Fern Dishman Gouge, sister of the
groom, was matron of honor.
The bridesmaids were Misses Lelia and Edna
Perez, Emerita and Ursula Lopez, Maria Antonia
Sepulveda and Blanca Vargas, all students al
Milligan. Sandra Harrison of Erwin was flower
girl and Tommy Nelms of Erwin was ring bearer.

TRAITS
by Mary Sue Ringstaff
James Henry Kegley
Henry Kegley was born one
hundred years after the war of
1812, August 28, which also hap-
pens t.o be the same month of
the year that Colonel Drake dis-
covered petroleum.
He went to Kegley Grade
School for seven years. He start-
ed to Wytheville High School but
didn't like and quit. He finally
completed two years there and
started to quit again but his Dad
found out about it. The next two
years he was permitted to go to
Portsmouth, Ohio, where he grad-
uated in 1930. During high
school, he was a member of the
band and drum majcr during his
senior year. He was also on the
student council during his senior
year.
In the fall-sf-1930, he cvr.-^i2=
Milligan. He came two years,
left, and went to Virginia Beach.
That winter he became proprie-
tor of an Esso service station
which he operated for about two
years. He was connected with the
wholesale department of the
Standard Oil Company the first
of September, 1934, in Abingdon,
Virginia. He was later transfer-
red to Richlands, Virginia, where
after three months he became
wholesale sales agent. His resig-
nation became effective Septem-
ber 1, 1939 and he returned to
Milligan.
While at Milligan these last
two years, he has belonged to
the Forum Group, Glee Clubj
Dramatic Club and Alpha Psi
Omega.
He plans to go to graduate
school, and sometime in life is
going to enter into a legal bus-
iness.
He doesn't advise the fresh-
men because too many people
have advised them already.
He is the last, of five brothers
to graduate from Milligan.

by calling his tennis wielders out
a few days before the others be-
gan. "Doc" is not too optimistic
but he has back his "three rac-

two replacements for Cochrane
and Price. Britton. Bowen, Greer
Quails, and Pierce look best thus
far among the new men "Doc"
has a full schedule and is whipp-
ing his team in shape for its open-
ing match. We may be too opti-
mistic but his team looks as well

squad, we say gocd luck and
good hunting.

In The Chapel
DR. FEN TON
Dr Fenton of the American
National Red Cross was speaker
in chapel Monday, March 31. The
importance of prevention of ac-
cidents and protection from in-
fection was dramatized, and
much was gained from the lec-
ture.
Dr. Fenton has spent fifteen
years in First-Aid work. He has
conducted classes from Maine to
the Gulf, and has much to offer
in knowledge and experience.
DR. Z. T. JOHNSON
PROFESSOR TURNER
An entertaining chapel pro-
gram was enjoyed by the stu-
dents when Dr. Gamble from the
Methodist church in Johnson
City brought to the Milligan
platform Dr. Z. T. Johnson and
Professor Turner from Asbury
College, Wilmore, Kentucky.
Professor Turner represented the
music department of the college
and sang several songs. Dr.
-Johnson brought a message,
stressing the evils of the wide-
spread cynical attitude toward
life. He stated, "A cynical
Christian will soon be a Christ-
less critic." Also that "A critic
sees difficulty in every opportun-
ity, while the realist sees oppor-
tunity in every difficulty."

Bits of philosophy and obser-

take this:
"Clem caught her eye across

causes, its symptoms, its different

Forum Group Discuss
Lease-Lend Bill
The Forum group met in re-
gular session Friday evening,
March 14, to discuss the econom-
ic as-ptctsof the Lease-Lend Bill.
Henry Kegley read parts of a
bulletin dealing with the subject,
and the group had open discuss-
ion with Professor J. Fred Holly
presiding. The situation, as dis-
covered by this discussion, is as
follows: the United States is now
producing war materials almost
at maximum capacity in order
to satisfy our own war orders;
then in order to aid the democra-
cies of Europe we must either
share with them our own supplies
or make dangerous expansion.
The first method has been adopt-
ed. Significant is the fact that we
are now producing at nearly full
capacity. The group debated
whether or not we could further
expand without serious economic
repercussions in the form of a
depression after the war. \\ ill the
United States be able, out of the
experience of the past decade, to
avoid a depression after the war,
even without extreme expansion?
The tendency is and will be (the
group decided) away from pure
democracy and toward a strong-
ly centralized capitalistic govern-
ment. This tendency is indicated
by the calling in of industrial
men - Knox, Kundsen, Stettin-
ues - by President Roosevelt to
fill important government posi-
tions directly connected with our
defence program.
Mr. Lowe, the commentator,
reviewed the fashions revealing
the trend for military objectives,
with red, white and navy color
combinations especially promi-
nent.
Cotton sports, suits, coats, silk
afternoon ensembles, and formals
were the costumes modeled with
their proper accessories.

(Continued from page 1)
from Transylvania College at the
age of twenty years, being the
youngest theological student gra-
duating at that time. He spent
about fifteen years in religious
work in the western state* before
coming to the First Christian
Church in Knoxville in May of
1032, where he has remained as
pastor ever since.
Dr. Cooke is vitally interested
in young people and the majority
of his congregation is composed
of the younger generation His
trip to Keicester, England in '35
to the International Convention
of Christian Churches was spon-
sored by the young people of
Knoxville. He spends much time
with young people regarding their
choices of vocations.
Dr. Cooke frequently broad-
casts over the radio and is at
present sponsored by the White
Stores in a program composed of
readings of poetry and prose. He.
has just completed a very inter-
esting book entitled Priceless
Glory, of which he has given se-
veral reviews and which has been
acclaimed by all.
He will have the privilege of
delivering the first sermon of his
series at Milligan this year in the
now almost completed Hopwood
Memorial Church on Easter
morning.
Looking At Sports
(Continued from page 4)
Coach Lacey is having trouble
in arranging a football schedule
for 1941. Having an undefeated,
untied team has its drawbacks,
doesn't it, Coach?
Jimmie Senter, our track coach
should come up with a winner
his first year. One of the fastest
developing runners on the 1941
track team is Dave Trotter, dis-
tance runner. Dave has a long
stride and your editor believes he
will give the other "milers" plen-
ty of trouble.
Dr. Thompson is refusing to
make weather predictions due to
the sun coming out and drying
the courts off in time for prac-
tice. He had advised his squad to
bring snow shoes and skis.
Hard Luck

entrance to the academy are
very high but the service has
much to offer in the way of
service to humanity.
Millions of dollars are saved
each year by the coast guard in
preventing accidents, and aiding
battered ships, but the import-
ant thing is that many thousands
of lives are saved through the
heroic work of the members of
the patrol and life-saving sta-
tions, who consider their heroism
nothing unusual but merely an
every day task to be attended to
with the utmost care and feel
ing of responsibility.

Jack Britton showed himself
capable of stepping into varsity

Hopwood, in founding Lynchburg
College, set as one objective, "A

tioned testimony that the posses-
sor has not only completed the
studies in an honorable curricu-
lum, but that his conduct in col-
lege life has also shown his char-
acter to be clean and honest
throughout.
Furthermore, Dr. Hopwood
holds for the college that it must
stand "for thorough physical in-
tellectual and moral training -
for clean homes with the same
standard of life for men and wo-
men for working churches,
and for giving the teachings
and example of Christ to the
world." (From R. J. Bennett's
History of the Founding of Ed-
ucational Institutions of the Dis-
ciples of Christ in Virginia)
B. A. Abbott, then Editor of
the Christian Evavgalist in pre-
senting the book, A Journey
Through the Years, to the public
stated, "Those who read this un-
ique and interesting volume will
feel they have become acquanted
with the life of an unusual man.
If ever a man lived with sincere
self-dedication to the words and
the example of Jesus Christ, it is
the author. More than any other
man I have ever known he has
believed in youth. . . .President
Hopwood passes on the torch. It
will doubtless be carried undim-
med from generation to genera-
tion for length of years no one
can measure."

of his Dialogue, which upheld
the Copernican theory of the

special services at the newly dedi-
cated Josephus Hopwood Mem-

beginning on Sunday April 13.
The services lasted throughout
the week, c'osing on April 20 with
a baptismal service at the pool

groups met during the day and
after the services each night for
prayer and special meditation
during the week. Milligan College
showed its undying loyalty to the
principles of Christian education
un which the school was founded.
Dr. Cooke made many friends
among the students who felt a
great attraction for him and his
work from the very first meeting.
He will be remembered by all on
his next visit to our campus.

ForS
or Success
InC
ollege
Habits and motives that are acquired in the
home play an important part in success or failure
in college. This is one of the main conclusions of
What It Takes to Make Good in Colli ge, a pamph-
let which will be published on March 3rd by the
Public Affairs Committee, 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
New York.
Prepared by Samuel L. Hamilton, Professor
of Education at New York University, the pam-
phlet summarizes the findings of From School to
College, a study in transition experience made in
forty typical men's colleges under the supervision
of the Yale University Department of Religious
Education.
Itfindsthat college "success", as disting-
uished from the mere getting of grades, is de-
pendent chiefly on four characteristics - - Pur-
pose, Social Adjustment, Ability to Make Deci-
sions, and Sensitivity Students having these four
characteristics made the grade without difficulty
Those lacking in all four were, as a rule, flunked
out by the middle of their first year.
Although these characteristics were found to
be affected by many things, home influences were
seen as particularly important. Good relation-
ships with parents, brothers, and sisters were
found to be important for success. Those who
found that their parents were moderately inter-
ested in their affairs, rather than indifferent or
oversolicitous, were the best-adjusted group in
college.
"A curious indication of good home ad-
justment," the pamphlet points out, "is a liking
for the subject of English. Narrow reading inter-
ests seemed to go with poor home adjustment,
whether reading was limited to newspapers only,
to books and magazines only, or to newspapers
and magazines only."
High achievement in personality also seemed
usually to carry with ic high achievement in other
areas. In light of this it is interesting to note that
"frequency of attendance at movies - seven or
more times a month - was a sign of poor person-
ality, as was also frequency of indulgence in card
games. 'Bull sessions' were again a kind of ther-
mometer, the better-adjusted boys being the ones
who participated in the large session and the less
well adjusted in sessions with very small groups-
Continued association with parents, relatives, and
friends was a good sign, as was the keeping up
of former friends especially through occasional
dancesand parties." A few of the other "tips" to
success shown in the study are listed. For ex-
ample, "The student has a better chance to make
good if he:
Safeguards his health ;
Participates in athletics, even if he never
makes a varsity team;
Has occasional 'dates';
Keeps up a satisfactory religious worship not

Milligan cinder men trampled
Tusculum College in a dual meet
92 1-2 to 28 1-2, April 26.
Led by Dagata and Childers,
the tract team won every first
excepting the high hurdle event.
Dave Trotter, sophomore distant
man, collected 10 points, while
Dellingerand Ankeny both col-
lected 11 points apiece.
The Milligan team then invad-
ed the home territory of Mars
Hill College, defeating them in a
66 to 65 thriller.
Dagata came through with his
usual brilliant performance and
made 28 points, while Childers
totaled 15 points and Ankeny 7
points.
The thrill of the meet came in
the mile relay with neither team
knowing the exact score; Child-
ers, Stallard, Cantrell, and Dan-
iels ran 440 yards apiece but
were not strong enough for the
Mars Hill relay team. Upon the
final tally Milligan won by one
point.
Bernie Webb Leads
Buff Nine
Bernie Webb, popular senior
from Piney Flats, was elected
baseball captain of the 1941
squad. This is Bernie's fourth
year as a baseball man and he
has been a good leader for the
diamond aggregation. Bernie
has played the outfield his three
previous years and was an estab-
lished star. However, when he
was needed elsewhere he didn't
hesitate. He gave over his out-
field post and moved to the in-
field. He has pitched two games
and won both of them. This is
the kind of spirit we admire in a
man, so to Bernie we say good
luck, and keep slugging.

The Milligan Coll eg? Buffaloes
have brought home another base-

Milligan has enjoyed a very
good year on the diamond hav-
ing won 9 out of 1 2 games. Tenn-
essee and L M. U. are the only
teams boasting wins over Milli-
gan.
The Buffs won the crucial
game from L. M. U. May 8 by
the score of 5-4 in eleven innings.
Milligan scored 4 runs in the
third inning to take the lead.
Howeverin the eighth inning Mil-
ligan 'a inner works blew up and
L. M. U. tied the score. Milligan

In The Chapel
The student body of Milligan
College heard a very delightful
program of classical and lighter
music Tuesday, April 22, when
Mr. Roger Barriger from State
Teachers College in Johnson
City brought a brass ensemble
to give a program at the regular
chapel hour. The group came in
answer to a special request. Se-
lections of the better known
classics composed the program.
Filmed Stage Play
Shown
The first local showing of Max-
well Anderson' s Journey To
Jerusalem was held at Mil-
ligan College Sunday, April 6.
Journey To Jerusalem
is the first stage play ever to be
reproduced in its entirety on the
screen with its original Broadway
cast, setting and costumes.
In "Journey To Jerusalem",
Mr. Anderson has set himself a
difficult task of retelling a seg-
ment of the story of Jesus and he
has chosen to dramatize the little
known period of his life when he
was a boy of twelve just begin-
ning to fully grasp the tremen-
dous significance of his mission.
In relating this story of the
young Jesus the playwright has
embodied an historical analogy
in Jerusalem. Before Herod
ruled tyrannically and hysteri-
cally through fear and weapons
of fear. Yet, men did not relin-
quish their Faith and thus, to-
day, too, mankind must face its
problem squarely and cling to the
right to think and believe in the
things it holds most sacred.

After a month or so of rest
Coach Lacey again called upon
his boys for baseball practice and
they were not satisfied until they
won another S. M C. champion-
ship for their Alma Mater,
About the same time the base-
ball boys began practice they
found company down on Anglin
field. And it was none other than
Jimmy Senter's "cinder" boys
running around getting in
shape to meet any competition.
They met only one team in the
conference and won an easy vic-
tory. They lost only to the Univ.
of Tennessee.
Spring also found the tennis
courts busy with Dr. Thompson's
varsity and "B" squads. They
enjoyed a good season, finishing
second in the conference.
At the same time the whole
student body and faculty were
backing their teams 100 per cent

Convocation
The annual convocation ser-
vice way held on Sunday morning,
September 7. Mr. Archie Gray,
Pastor of the Hop wood Memorial
Church, was in charge of the ser-
vice. He welcomed the studen s
to the services of the year at th:j
church. Mr. Gray then presented
the speaker of the morning. Mr.
C.E.Burns, Presidentof Milligan
College. Mr. Burns also welcomed
the students to the college.
He spoke of the opportunities
which can be found at Milligan
if the students are willing to re-
ceive them. He mentioned severa'
oppositions which can hinder a
successful year in colleges The
students were warm d against
procrastination and the danger
of letting excessive "homesick-
ness" prevent them from getting
a good start. Mr. Burns praised
the faculty and stressed the fact
that they were here to help the
students in any way possible.
The closing statement of the
sermon was a very good thought
for all those attending Milligan
to remember. "Milligan College
offers many opportunities but
there are also many opponents".

The registration cards are all
signed, the reception is a thing
of the dim past and its time we
meet the faculty - informally. So
equipped with a brand new in-
troduction - by their peculiarities
ye shall know them - we ventuie
i farther.
The smiling, rotund man you
see observing the tennis enthu-
siasts is Dr. Thompson of the
Chemistry department.
If you desire to excavate tid-
bits from the annals of past you
will meet Dr Willard, professor
of Ancient History.

who is likely to ask his freshman
Bible students "which comes
first the acorn or the oak?" is
Dr. Carpenter who teaches Bible

COACH STEVE LACEY MILLIGAN BUFFALOES
This reprasents Coach Steve Lacey's 9th year at the helm
of Milligan College looiball teams, and all the college joins in at
this time to wish this popular mentor a speedy recovery
Coach Lacey is now convalescing in his home from a re-
cent illness and meanwhile there is a lonesome place for him in
the hearts of a'l Milligan students, for this tall dashing blonde,
who wears a million-do'lar Finile wherever he goes, not only has a
way of captivating the souls of thode whom he teaches but those
on and off the campus as well.
Coach Lacey, who has guided two different teams to the
S. M. C. pinnacle received nation-wide atteniion last fall as the
magical leader of one of the few undefeated elevens over the na-
tion. This brought much-deserved praise and honor to our coach
and our school. But far greater, he is an admirer of true chara-
cter, and builds this up together with the athlete's natural ability.
The result is the ever-lasting Milligan spirit and success which a
smooth spoken Tennesseean has helped create.
We can't get along without you. Steve. So we are yearning
and waiting for a true Christian character - - - our Coach.

KEEP CALM
Every so often in the history of the nation
some external or internal condition has arisen
which has caused a sudden burst of patriotism.
Patriotioc songs are written and sung everywhere,
martial music rivals dance music in popularity,
lecturers and writers favor "Americanism" above
all other possible themes and a feeling of closeness
and fellowship arises in the heart of every Amer-
ican for his countrymen. But along with these
symptoms others also become apparent: foreign
names prejudice people against their bearers,
foreign music is looked down upon or banned
and suspicion flourishes every where, frequently
fastening itself on the innocent.
Such a time as this has come again. Love
of country is one of the noblest sentiments and in
such times aa these it is patriotism which helps
us to bear our hardships and to remain optimis-
tic. But it is vital that we do not let our feelings
for and against prejudice our views and actions
that we are no longer truly free but held in 'a
narrow prison by our own minds. Let us remem-
ber the ease with which we can be swept along by
the mob into uncontrolled thought and action
in days as tense as these; because of this let us
move with care and remain as mentally unbiased
as possible.

COMMENTS
by J. F. HOLLY
Man, Bird, And God
I go to prove my soull
I see my way as birds their trackless way.
I shall arrive! what time, what circuit first,
I ask not; but unless God send his hail
Or blinding fireballs, sleet or stifling snow,
In some time, his good time, I shall arrive:
He guides me and the bird. In his good time!
Robert Browning
Painting The Lily
Therefore, to be possessed with double pomp,
To guard a title that was rich before,
To gild refined gold, to paint tbe lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light
To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,
Ts wasteful and ridiculous excess.
William Shakespeare
A Creed
There is a destiny that makes us brothers:
None goes his way alone:
All that we send into the lives of others
Comes back into our own.
I care not what his temples or his creeds,
One thing holds firm and fast--
That into his fateful heap of days and deeds
The soul of a man is cast.
Edwin Markham
PRODUCTION FOR DEFEASE
Recent developments have
supplied indications that the ec-
onomic machine of the United
States is moving into a new
phase. Until lute summer non-
defense and defense production
were rising together, but the up-
trend in non-defense activity,
which has brought the produc-
tion of consumer's goods to the
highest levels ever reached, is
drawing to a close. This is the
expected effect of the increiise in
defense requirements, priorities,
shipping congestions, and restric-
tion of civilian consumption in
order to increase the supply of
strategic materials.
Activities of the summer show
that the change is beginning to
appear. Passenger car output
has been decreased by 50 percent
for the 1642 model year, steel
has been placed under complete
priority control, new silk supplies
have been diverted from Ameri-
can mills and measures have
been adopted on the Eastern
seaboard to curtail gasoline con-
sumption. As defense activity in-
creases so does the list of com-
modities under priority control.
Now that defense industries
are reaching the production
phase a large curtailment of con-
sumer goods production can take
place without causing grave un-
employment and distress. Yet,
one of the government agencies
has predicted that from 5,000 to
6,000 factories may be adversely
affected by material shortages.
OPACS chief Henderson has stat-
ed his belief that the number of
workers facing temporary unem-
ployment may exceed 2,000,000.
Of course, many of the workers
will be absorbed in defence in-
dustries and the accumulated
stocks of materials will cushion
the fall brought about by priority
controls.
In the end, the effect of mat-
erial shortages will be to apply
the brakes to the expansion of
production. However, the con-

BUFFALO
HE(A)RD
At last school is in session, and ole Buffalo
is ready and waiting. Glad to see you guys and
gals back been wondering what you've done
all summer, but now that you are here we'll
know — — and we'll tell.
Though there aren't so many former "Ail-
Conferencc" members on the campus this fall th<
newonesars rapidly filling the ranks. Reason
Ther bevy of stunning new girls.
Seems some people never learn anything,
even seniors. How'd you enjoy the new Elizabeth'
an - American Lit. course Wade?
June still goes for a uniform --- football or
militaire.
Steve Bowen savs, "Just because I am not
a great big husky aihlete is no sign I can't catch
you".
Lil' Abner Harmon has finally given one girl
a break - - Lookout ! ! !
That familiar face which will always haunt
the conference hour is none other than ''old con-
ference Hays".
It must be wonderful to be captain of a Buf-
falo gridiron eleven.
"Hale Storm" is at it again, but please rem-
ember Florence, our guards are scarce.
Mary Sue thinks everything is just FINE
this year. What you say Harry?
Perhaps Shorty h;is lost interest, but we
noticed that he visited the hospital rather fre-
qnently these few weeks, oh well, could be the
beantiful nurses.
Hadn't seen Florine quite so happy in years
as when that young man from Texas dropped in
for a brief stay. It must be true that maxim about
absence.
We still wonder what possessed "Bo" and
Showalter to bogin the day at six back when the
year was an infant.
Bob Hurt says he enjoyed the "Trip" he
took last week fully a-; much as the eight upper-
classmen who invited him. Better luck next time
Bob.
According to the opinions of some people
there is only one girl here with Reel class.
Jack seemingly goes for these Southern
Blandes.
Note Caffee's change? No football, no books,
no girl, no nuthin! 1
We admire Ted's remarkable control - - off
with the new love and on with the old, - - or visa
versa.
We hear "Doc" Mathes correctly diagnosed
and perscribed for his first patient How'd
you feel G. B.?
Again Gene leaves a fair heart waning
come on over and give this Sadie a break.
"Tweedy" seems to enjoy her gazin' art, or
at least she is always talking about it,
That little Butler Ghl from Hampton is
throwing all the loose Senior men for a loss. Won-
der which one will win ?
Wonder why Kitty Allen hides the ring she's
wearing - - - ashamed of him Kitty?
Out on the campus in a little f ishie pool
Swam a lotta little fishes and what else, Sis-
ter?
Then there was the senior who made this
brilliant contribution to Dr. Bennett's request
for a definition of the mind "that which should
be functioning now, but isn't.
No more national defense on the campus.
It's hose or sox - - or else.
Anna Margaret where did you get a blue med-
icine cabinet? Rather unusual, is it not?
Sorry the two little girls in room nine were
out of the room when but then life is like
that.
Wonder.why Jeff Cooper is so lonesome this
year.
Ask Nettie Mathes how she likes to spend
week-ends at home
It seems that Caffee and Nita have agreed to
disagree again.
Spraker has found another "little girl".
Anita will be all smiles when Harold comes
"a-courting"next Sunday.
Seems the "late" students always get the
breaks some of us envy you Sue 1
Did everyone notice Ginny Burkett's "Blair-
ing" the past week end?
Hardin girls are trying to reach first period
classes ten minutes early this year — Vernon's
the big reason for their promptness.
Glad to see "Cuz" come out of seclusion, but
don't hibernate in the woods!
Jean Allen stands accused of having an un-
tidy mind - - unable to make it up.
Where did 'Bud-Bud" spend the past week-
end?

During the absence of Coach
Lacey the Buffalo Herd has been
under the leadership of acting
Head-Coach Bernie Webb.
Coach Webb plaved four years
of football under the Milligan
colons. He was also a sparkplug
in baseball and basketball , being a
four year letter man in each. We
feel Coach Webb has made an
excellent start and commend him
on his fine work and spirit.

Buffs Begin Grid Season
On September 3, Miiligan's
Buffaloes, 30 strong, went
through theii initial workout of
the current season. For two
hours the Buffs underwent a
series of "tough mr" treatments
down on Daath Valley with a
driving rain pelting them during
the entire practice.
Working without the services
of Head Coach Steve Lacey, who
is in a Johnson City hospital
with a stomach ailment, the Buf-
faloes went through the work-
out under the watchful e\esof
Acting Coach Bernie Webb, and
his assistants Star Wood and
Floyd Childers.
Returning from last year's un-
defeated and untied eleven were
Co-captains "Bo" Brummitt and
"Shorty" Williams, Bill Show-
alter, J. E. Penny, Harry Par-
due, and Garland Caffee, in the
backfield, while the line has
Blessing, Davis, Stallard, Lane,
Addenbrook, Cure, and Gainer
returning.
New men counted on to supply
more power to the team are
Abbott, Potter, Kilgore, Mullin.%
Tipton, and Osborne in the
backfield department, with th'
forward wall looking to Maup n,
Dav s, Hall, Fine, Starnes, and
Bond for res rve strength.
Miiligan's first game is with J
Bluefield College at Norton, Vir-
ginia, on Septrm! er 20.
Tennis Championship
Miiligan's Tennis team was
declared Smoky Mountain Con-
ference champions for the year
1940-41
Coach Thompson's men made
an exceptionally good recod by
winning six out of eight within
conference competition.
Highi-st of honors was deserved
by Oris Hyder and special trib
ute must be given him, captair
and "No. 1" of the team. Or;:
has been an exceedingly valuable
man during his four years with
the team. Last year, even though
playing "No. 1 position", Oris
beat all of his opponents in two
straight sets. This is certainly an
all time record and we commend
Oris highly for his superb per-
formances.
During the annual banquet
held at the home of Frazier
Cochrane III, Fred Creer was
elected captain of the team for
194l-'42.
New men earning letters were
Jack Britton and Fred Greer.
Girl's Sports
A marked enthusiam was not-
ed at the first meting of the
girls' intramural group on the
afternoon of September 10. Inter-
esting plans for the year
were discussed and officers
and captains were elected'
An Intramural handbook was
written by Allie Hyder
Buffaloes Open
Season With Bluefield
Wise county football fans will
witness the opening of the grid
season. Coach Lacey's undefpat-
ed and untied, Milligan Buffaloes
will play Bluefield in Norton the
night of September 20.
Last year in the "Turkey Day"
thriller the Buffs finished their
season with a 42-2[ defeat over
Bluefield.
The little junior college rolled
up a total of 21 points against the
strong Milligan team. In contrast
to the lone tally by King College
prior to the final game of 1940
season.
Side-Line Notes
FOOTBALL CO-CAPTA.'NS BRUM.viIiT AND wILLiAMo
Strange as it may seem. Eliza-
bethan's only representative this
year is Walter Maupin, former
Georgia Bullpup Maupin prom-
ises to be a terrific end ere the
season wanes. Shelby Jctt quit
the ranks for a "boots and sad-
ble" job.
PREDICTION ; That Coach
Lacey's illne-s will serve as a
stimulating effect that will carry
ihe Buffs through its early sched-
uled games. Also, his return will
result in the same magical effect
that it has had in the past.
RESULT: The best spirited
squad to represent our Buffaloes
in years
Let's everybody give them our
whole hearted support.
Hopes of another undefeated
season are slowly diminishing but
we can safely say the coaches will
put another fighting Herd on the
gridiron this season.
The Buffalo Herd won't seem
the same without Jett and Brad-
shaw, behemoth, whose massive
frames almost covered the entire
line.

Officers for the Young People

closing meeting in the spring
Officers elected were President,
W. T. Mathes; Vice-president,
Cathrine Allen; Secretary-Treas-
urer. Maxine Blair.
The spring election enabled the
group to get off to a good start
at the first meeting on September
7. The program outlined the op-
portunities offered by Christian
Endeavor to the interdenomina-
tional group on the campus.
Meeting will be held at seven

the Social Science Room. Every-
one is invited to attend.
Volunteer Band Report
"There is a place of quiet rest,
Near to the heart of God."
There is for the student of
Milligan, whether or not they are
aware of it, a real "place of quiet
rest." It is to be found on the
third floor of the Administration
building, in that small room cal-
led the "Prayer Room," whose
door always stands invitingly
ajar.
Perhaps the new students have
noticed this room and wandered
about it I know I did. But I
wander no longer, for I have
found out; this is our Prayer
Room, it is not set aside for
special occasions or for only privi-
leged persons, but it was estab-
lished there to fill the need of
every Milligan student— the need
of a place in which to be alone
with God.
The Prayer Room is the meet
ing place of the student Volunt-
eer Band, on Monday evenings at
seven o'clock. This organization
consists of a purely voluntary
group who are seeking to grow
spiritually as well as physically
and mentally. Its idea is that be-
fore one can do, one must be, and
it strives to build Christian char-
acter by keeping its Monday ni-
ght meetings at the mountain top
peak of inspiration.
The Volunteer Band welcomes
all who desire a real enrichment of
their Christian lives, and hopes
that sometime duriug the day,
each student will find time to
to spend a few moments in the
Prayer Room for mediation and
communion with God.
All who do will assuredly discover
that "prayer changes things."
Sunday School Services
The young women's Sunday
School class met in the aud-
itorium of the Hopwood Mem-
orial Church Sunday morning,
September 7. Miss Violet May,
the former president of the class,
acted temporarily as chairman
during election of officers. Kay
Sluder was elected president,
Kitty Allen, vice-president, and
Nell Slay, secretary- treasurer.
Since Coach Lacy, the regular
teacher of the class is ill, Mrs.
Bowman taught the lesson. Her
subject was, "Serving with what
we have."
Boys' Class

several popular numbers on the
organ.
Highlight of the evening was
Mrs. Derthick's appearance and
impromptu welcome at the aud-
itorium.
For the remainder of the even-
ing, groups gathered for informal
chats, or couples promenaded on
the Triangle. The candle-lit re-
freshment table was gracefully
presided over by Mrs. Toby
Nave, Misses Nancy Cantrell,
and Elizabeth England.

Faculty Portrait
(Continued from page 1)
All of us are looking fo reward
to the product ons of the drama
department. Miss Childs, profes-
sor of speech is in charge of
dramatics.
The little professor with the
big sense of humor who has mig-
rated from the practical to the
theoretical is Dr Bennett, who
searches in the recesses of the
mind for psychological facts.
To all who have been here be-
fore the phrases Miss Yearley
and the music department are
synonymous; to those who have
not been so fortunate - - just fol-
low your ears to third floor of
the administration building; she
will greet you with a smile.
Dr. McCarroll is the energetic
instructor of history. According
to one freshman he is the teacher
''who walked up and down the
room twenty three times in the
last twelve minutes of a lecture
period." I mean that seriously
now!
In the field of elementary ed-
ucation the important figure is
Miss Dick ah, ah, how could
I forget when the echoes of last
summer's wedding bells are still
audible I Husband Holly is start-
ing his second year with us in
the Economics department.
Miss Angle, whose various and
sundry interests lie chiefl}* in the
field of art is again located on
third floor. We hear more of her
later for she brings us our art ex-
hibits.
You all know Dean Eyler
whose interests seem equally well
divided among coca colas and
English Literature. To Dean
Eyler goes the first vote of
thanks for our moving picture
projector.
Perhaps there has been an un-
due amount of homesickness this
year. We feel that an explana-
tion lies in the fact that Coach
Lacey, our best dispeller of gloom
has not been among us. We miss
you and are pulling for you,
Coach.
Professor Long, instructor of
education, has made himself evi-
dent already. He seems off fur a
•zood start with his practice tea-
chers.
The savory aroma coming from
the Home E onomics cottage is
due chierly to the efforts of Miss
Brown, our professor of Home
KconomicB.
Professor Wood, the infant of
the faculty seems to be doing
well in the Freshman English clas-
ses. At least we hear ro com
plaints.
Look out Puerto Ricans. Pro-
fiS;or Lodter is teaching a class
in the oo's & ah's of the Spanish
language this year. He is also well
known as Professcr of French.
The business like professor who
arranges for the girl's physical
education classes is Mrs. Eyler.
Our library is in the competent
hands of Miss England, a definite
proof that something besides dust
and book-worms i^ found in our
library-
If you've not already seen
yourself as others see you, it
won't be long now for Professor
Hyder, the good-natured bursar,
spends his spare time taking can-
did shots of life as it is lived at
Milligan.
Should the methodical clack of
typewriter keys intrigue you, find
your way to Mrs. Nave. She is
the instructor in secretarial
science.
There they are and we sin-
cerely hope they are as crazy
about us as we are about them.
Pre-Med Club Elects
Officers
The Milligan College Pre-Med
Club held its fiist meeting for
the 1941-42 school term at 7:30
o'clock Monday evening, Sep-
tember 8,1941.
Officers elected to serve for
the first semester were:
W. T. Mathes President
Lawrence Gilliam Vice-President
Floyd Childers Sec. -Treasurer
The program committee for
this term is as follows: Floyd
Chilaers, Lawrence Gilliam, John
Hall, and Burton Shook.
Plans for the coming year
were discussed. A program is to
be presented every time the club

(Continued from page 1)
Pound, and Coeburn Virginia
and Elizsbethton, Tennessee. He
came back to Milligan for a
season as assistant to Coach
Lacey in football and as the
head of the service scholarship
department. Leaving Milligan,
Mr. Wood finished his work for a
M. A. Degree at the University
of Tennessee. He then went to
Appalachian State Teachers Col-
lege at Boone, X C. as associate
professor of English. During this
time Mr. Wood married.
From Appalachian State, Mr.
Wood came to Milligan to re-
place Professor Long as associate
professor of English-
Prof. Long was shifted to the
head of the educational depart-
ment and Dr. Bennett, whom he
replaced took over the depart-
ment of psychology to succeed
Dr. McCurdy who left Milligan
to accept a position at Meredith
College for Women in Ealeigh,
North Carolina.
The students and faculty of
Millizaa College feel that the
addition of Mr. Wood to the
faculty will be of great value to
everyone.
Those of us who know Mr.
Wood very well can truth! ully
say that he is first of all a man
and one to be highly valued as a
friend. He has the spirit of Mil-
ligan in him for he is kind and
considerate of others and always
most willing to be of service to
anyone who needs him.
Star, Milligan says "Hats off
to a grand fellow". We wish you
the best of luck this year and
from then on out.
Pre-Med Club
meets when we do not have a

programs will include discussions
of medicine and science as well
as other topics in the general

Initiation is to be held soon
for all those persons desiring to

cepted by the club for member-
ship.

The Chapel
Dr. Gambill
Dr. Gambill, pastor of the.
First Methodist Church of John-
son City, was chapel speaker,
Tuesday September 23.
Dr. Gambill spoke from Jere-
miah 6.16 — Thus saith the
Lord, Stand, ye in the ways, and
see, and ask for the old paths,
where is the good way, and walk
therein, and ye shall find rest for
your souls.
He pointed out that we young
people are too prone to ignore old
people and their ideas and cling
to that which is new, accepting it
merely on its merit of being
new. We are prone to discard the
old too rapidly and accept the
new at face value, and in our
haste to rid ourselves of the old
things we lose some things that
are wonderful.
The most precious new thing
that we have cannot be replaced.

Milligan College Hour
Into the quiet of the Sunday
afternoon steals an interlude of
organ music known as the Mil-
iigan College Hour. About three
years ago Professor Edward G.
Lodter introduced this custom
which has attracted wide spread
attention.
One Friday afternoon late in
December Professor Lodter was
giving a program of organ music,
and Professor Hyder conceived
the idea of having the program
broadcast. It was in the days
when WJHL was young; some-
thing was needed to insure the
success of the station - something
that would stir up community
interest. So it was with gratitude
that WJHL broadcast its first
Milligan College Hour the follow-
ing Sunday afternoon. Since
that eventful day the college stu-
dents and neighboring towns
look forward to the program as
one of the most interesting and
most popular broadcasts of the
week.
Professor Lodter plays his own
arrangement of selections from
both classical and popular music.
The program comes from the
Milligan chapel with Professor
Lodter at the console of the
George W. Keys Memorial organ.
The organ, a memorial to
George W. Keys, presented by
his wife, is one of the prize pos-
sessions of the college. It was in-
stalled in 1938 and is a two man-
ual Wurlitzer theatre and con-
cert pipe organ. On a plaque on
the side of the organ is Mr. Keys'
favorite poem which will be an
inspiration for each of us.
"My soul may never gain the prize
it covets so,
It may never reach the gates of
Paradise at sunset s glow,
But I have faith that in the ocean
blue at set of sun
I shall be judged by what I ve tried
to do and not by that I've done."
Freshmen Girls Initiated
Milligan's freshmen girls were
perhaps a little late being initia-
ted into the proper modes of at-
titude and conduct, but Tuesday
evening, September 23, at six
o'clock the former girls went into
details on the question.
Freshmen, some with escorts
and others — well, just according
to the inclination of the Big Sister
and past behavior of the fresh-
men—p'raded the triangle. Many
were content to play with some
favorite toy brought from home
to cheer their idle hours while at
Milligan; others much preferred
the quiet and platitude of the fish-
pool where for this one night of
nights they could play with the
goldfish though one girl tried
it earlier this fall, with fatal
results —some few spent the hour
entertaining conference couples
with nonsensical verses and songs
from their Life's Collection, but
the majority of the girls were to

The Need for Imagination
Today
There are some people who question whether
a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush;
whether two and two always makes four; and if
a stitch in time really does save nine. If you are a
Missourian at heart, well and good, for you are
the hope of the world. Do not hold your imagi-
nation in chains, for if you let it go free it will
bring you as a reward treasures of which you can
never be robbed.
Is communication with the other world pos-
sible? Is there life on any of the other planets?
Think about these questions some of the
times when your hands are busy and your mind
is not; ask yourself other questions too. Though
you may not reach a satisfactory conclusion in
your own mind, at least you have gained by ex-
ploring fields a little out of the usual. Some day
the answers will be found; spirit communication
will be proved or disproved, vessels for exploring
space will be invented — and by whom? By
people with imagination, people not afraid to
leave the beaten path. It is through imagination
and freedom of thought that man's greatest ad-
vances have been made; by the questioning
minds of today, tomorrow will be built.
Stampede Those Eagles! I !
Our School
We are back at school again; we are togeth-
er, typical American youth at a typical small col-
lege. But is that everything? We all feel. I think,
that there is something special about us.
Our beautiful campus, our high scholastic
standards, our fine faculty, and our fine football
team perhaps accounts for this feeling. More than
anything else though, the attitude of friendliness,
companionship, and cooperation among the stu-
dents accounts for the fact that school spirit is
more alive here than in most schools. Our college
gives us many advantages and opportunities for a
broader, fuller life; in return for all she does for
us, let us give her freely of our enthusiasm, loy-
alty, and love.

The Spectre of Inflation
Inflation occurs when there is
an increase in the quantity of
money which is not accompanied
by a corresponding increase in
production. The net effect of
such an increase of money is an
increase in prices which naturally
reduces the purchasing power of
a given unit of money. Inflation
is dreaded by many groups; such
as those with fixed incomes, and
the threat of inflation is an ab-
omination to their spirits. On the
other hand, business men, among
others, often prefer a mild form
of inflation because of its stim-
ulus to business and trade
through increanng prices.
At present we are experiencing
an inflation problem. Since June,
1940, the United States Congress
has authorized and appropriated
more than §56,000,000,000 for
defense. This increase in mont^y
and the accompanying shift of
workers and plants into defense
production, and the curtailment
of the production of consumers
goods has brought about a situ-
ation in which the demand for
consumer goods is outrunning
the supplies of such commodities.
Prices have risen (1S% in the
past year) in response to the de-
mand and without stringent con-
trols will probably undergo great-
er increases.
The Roosevelt administration
has sought to remove the threat
of inflation and the White House
group has advanced several pol-
icies aimed at price controls. One
important factor in this program
is the attempt to reduce consum-
er purchasing power. The
assumption being that much of
the "excess" money will be re-
moved from normal trade chan-
nels and consumer demand will
be unable to increase greatly.
The reduction of purchasing
power has been attempted in
three main ways:
1. Increased taxes. The new
S3, 500,000,000 tax bill is expec-
ted to drain off part of the in-
creased incomes.

WHO'S
HI
G. C. Hays, Jr.
G. C. Hays began living at
Indian Springs, Tennessee on
July 27, 1919. At the age of five
he entered Indian Springs Gram-
mar school and after eight years
of toiling found himself riding a
school bus to Blountville High
Shool.
It was at Blountville he re-
ceived the nickname of "Jocko",
established himself as captain
of a fine high school team, played
some football and belonged to
the Hi Y Club.
"Jocko" selected Milligan as
his favorite school and while here
he has taken active part in bas-
ketball, being captain his junior
year, acted as coach of the girls'
basketball squad, and been a
member of the "M" Club. His
major is History with English
and Social Science as minors.
"Jocko's" ambition is to be a
basketball coach and as hobbies
he prefers dancing, listening to
the radio, and courting.
For the benefit of the Fresh-
men he says: "Stay in there and
fight."

We want to congratulate Nor-

suggest such an affair be held

Buffaloes Handicapped
By Mud
Loss Is First Since
1939
The Buffalo gridiron squad
motored to Georgetown, Ken-
tucky last week seeking their
thirteenth consecutive victory
and there on Saturday evening
lost to the Georgetown College
Tigers by the heartbreaking score
of 7-6.
The game proved to be the un-
lucky thirteenth for the Buffaloes
because in spite of being the
superior team they failed to cross
the double stripes with the neces-
sary margin. The boys played in
four inches of mud and displayed
great offensive power all through
the game until they came within
the shadows of the goal posts. It
was in this neighborhood they
faltered.
The Tigers made only two first
downs compared with twelve for
Milhgan. Their touchdown was
the result of a pass after a block-
ed punt and then they converted
for the extra point. Milligan's
lone score came in the second
quarter culminating a down field

Buffaloes Trample
Bluefield
The Thundering Herd, repre-
senting Milligan's 1941 gridion
machine, made a successful debut
September 20. with an impressive
21-0 victory over Bluefield Col-
lege. The battle took place at
Norton, Va. in the heart of the
region that has sent so many ath-
letes to Milligan in recent years.
Obviously shaky at the start
the 1940S. M. C. champs soon
settled down, and with co-captain
Bo. Brum mitt in the driver's seat
soon broke the ice with the first
touchdown of the season. The
"other half", co-captain "Shorty"
Williams converted to make it
7-0.
There was another score in the
second quarter when Bill Sho-
walter arched a 35 yard pass into
the waiting hands of "Red"
Blessing who cut over into the
end zone. Williams again con-
verted and the score at the half
was 14-0.
Bluefield was held in check the
remainder of the contest by the
surprisingly strong Buffalo line.
Ed Kilgore entered the game and

Showalter, Blessing,

Milligan's record breaking
stride did not falter as the Buf-
faloes trampled Teacher's College
28-0, September 27, at Roosevelt
stadium.
Big Bill Showalter plunged a-
cross the dual stripes in th« first
quarter to score the first touch-
down. From then on Teacher's
College was not in the ball game.
A pass from Kilgore to Maupin
plus a twenty-seven \ ard jaunt,
scored again for the orange and
black. Penny scooted around
from the ten yard line to score
the third tally. In the third
period Abbott blocked a kick be-
hind the Bucs goal line to score
a safety and two more points.
The final touchdown occurred
when Showalter took the kick off
after the safety and returned it
to the 32. He passed for 17 yards
to the 15 and Capt. Bo
Brummitt shot through the line
for five. A pass to Blessing gave
the Buffaloes their last touch-
down.
Milligan's seven blocks of
granite allowed only one first
down against them, while the
backs took care of the Bucs pass-
ing threat.

'M"Club In Action
Last Wednesday night the
Buffalo lettermen invited six new
men to attend their weekly meet-
ing. The chief interest centered
around these new members, let-
termen of last fall, because it
marked the beginning of their
initiation which will lead to the
honor of wearing an "M" upon
their chest.
In case you may not recognize
these boys for a few days we
wish to introduce the following
boys in the official sport they
earned their letter: Burcbell
Stallard, and Morris Daniels
track: Garland Caffoy and Harry
Pardue, baseball; Fred Greer
and Jack Britton, tennis.
Uniforms Ordered
The boys and girls M clubs
are sponsoring a drive for cheer-
leader uniforms. The price of

of Lawrence Gilliam.
The program consisted of the
analvses of the new developments
and advancements in the use of
the sulfa compounds. New and
interesting material on the va-
rious degrees of success obtained
in treating infantile paralysis,
tuberculosis, and gonorrhea with
these compounds was presented
by Frank Johnson and Lawrence
Gilliam. The tyclotron, atom
smashing machine, invented and
developed by Dr. Ernest Law-
rence of the University of Cali-
fornia, was thoroughly discussed
in connection with its importance
to tuberculosis treatment.
Under the new series of pro-
grams launched the club will be
treated to discussions of new
developments in the field of med-
icine and to talks by some of the
leading doctors in the vicinity.

pointed out to their freshmen
friends as "the one".
After the tinkle of the con-
ference bell had sent the heart-
throbs on their scholarly way,
the girls congregated in the par-
lors of Hardin for the season's
most serious discussion.
Detectives Watsonand Watson
had gathered some most convinc-
ing evidence, and the freshmen
under the piercing eye of Judge
Hale, and shrewd statements of
D. A. Allen faltered, fumbled,
and failed. They simply could not
defend themselves against the
criminal accusations of why they
were freshmen, why they studied,
why they stepped in and took
Pardee sheiks, from whom other
girls had craved a bit of atten-
tion for years.
Then, as human nature goes,
the upper classmen became for-
giving and feeling that perhaps
their treatment had been a little
harsh, gave as consolation a pro-
gram befitting the mentality of a
oollege freshman. Being under-

2. Savings The government
has attempted to persuade people
to save their money. To expedite
this program the government, is
selling defense bonds, stamps and
tax anticipation notes.
3. Control of consumer cred-
it- The Federal Reserve Board
has placed controls on install-
ment buying and on the oper-
ation of loan companies.
These measures alone are as-
sumed to be inadequate for the
prevention of inflation; accord-
ingly OPACS has fixed the prices
of certain commodities. There is
now an administration backed
bill in congress which proposes
theerectiun of a ceiling on all
price rises. Heretofore, all con-
trols have been adopted only
where the industry concerned is
in agreement with OPACS The
new bill will give the full power
of control to the administration.
Undoubtedly prices will under-
go greater increases in the future
unless more formal steps are
taken which will insure us against
price rises. The Congressional bill
mentioned above is in all prob-
ability a step in the right direc-
tion. Its immediate passage is
necessary if inflation is to be
prevented.

Our great heritage, Dr. Gam-
hill said, is that God is calling
the youth of today to rethink the
whole plan of society, and if our
world is to have rest of mind,
our bodies must serve a normal
course of life; be always in touch
with God and give to the world
a people with the self-considered
way of wholesome living.

the first year away from home
most of all one misses mother's
nightly nursery rhymes, and
knowing that no one could inter-
pret them just as mother the
upper classmen gave the modern
collegiate versions in pantomime.
The party ended with the
social chatter and refresh-

Who's Who Among Students In American Universities And Colleges
O

an
Over nine years ago WHO'S
WHO AMONG STUDENTS
IN AMERICAN UNIVERSI-
TIES AND COLLEGES came
about through the conception of
an idea for national recognition
for students, devoid of politics,
initiation fees, and dues.
The motivation of the project
has been twofold. First, to honor
students who are deserving and
have accompli-hed a goal in col-
lege by displaying merit. The
emphasis of selection is put on
the phase of extra curricular ac
tivities and not on scholarship
alone.
Annually a compilation of
biographies of outstanding stu-
dents in America is published.
Only juniors and seniors in ad-
vanced work are selected. Every
phase of college activity is in-
cluded in the book, and those
students whose biographies are
listed are the outstanding per-
sonalities in their respective
schools.
Selection
The selection of students is
made in any way the various
colleges may approve. In some
cases committees are appointed;
in others the Dean acts as chair-
man of a blind committee. The
six students elected to represent
Milligan were voted upon by the
entire faculty at a meeting called
for that special purpose.
W. T. Mathes, Jr.
Coming to Milligan from
Greenville, Tennessee, W. T.
Mathes, a senior, has been a
member of the tennis team since
his sophomore year. While a jun-
ior he was elected as the most

Allen, a junior from Ocean View,
Delaware, has also made a re-
cord. During both her sophomore
and junior years she has been as-
sistant manager of Girls' Intra-
murals; she is the Treasurer of
the Girls' M Club and the girls'
sports editor for the Stampede.
Kitty was secretary of the sopho-
more class and has been an officer
in both Christian Erdeavor and
Volunteer Band. This year she is
junior chairman of the May Fes-
tival and assistant in the physic-
al education department.
Charles Akard
Charles Akard, a senior from
Blountville, Tennessee, has made
an outstanding record in ath-
letics. He has played on the Var-
sity basketball team for three
years of attendance at Milligan.
In hisjunior year he was co-cap-
tain of the squad, and this year
he is captain ; he is also a member
of the baseball team. Charles is
editor of the Stampede, vice
president of the senior class, and
is a member of the "M" Club.
Kathryn Davis
Kathryn Davis is a senior from
Tazewell, Tennessee. She was the
vice president of her freshman
class, voted the mo.-t outstand-
ing underclassman in her sopho-
more year and has been a mem
ber of the girl's trio and the Glee
Club all four years. Kathryn is
chairman of the Music commit-
tee, a member of the script and
executive committee and a fea-
ture editor of the Stampede. This
year she is a member of the
Forum Club.
Tom Gray
Tom Gray, a ministerial stu-
dent, is one of the few students
at Milligan who has a scholastic
record of straight A's. Tom is
pastor of the second Christian
Church in Johnson City, and
during his three years at Milligan
has been outstanding in religious
work. He is a member of Chris^

'urpose
WHO'S WHO has four major
purposes which are:
1. An incentive for students to
get most out of their college ca-
reers.
2. A means of compensation for
what the student has already
done.
3. A standard of measurement
for students comparable to such
agencies as Phi Beta Kappa and
the Rhodes Scholarship Award.
4. A recommendation to the busi-
ness world.
Qualifications
To be included in WHO'S
WHO a student must have a
combination of qualities listed
below.
Character is a prerequisite; the
student's record before he entered
college is considered and also his
general reputation with faculty
and students.
Leadership in extra curricular
activities such as athletics, so-
ciety, religion, and student gov-
ernment is considered more im-
portant than the fact that he
excells in scholarship only. The
student must have potentialities
of future usefulness to business
and society.

STUDENT OPINION
Revision of Neutrality Law
The latest Gallup poll, taken since Congress
began considering the revision of neutrality,
found among American adults a ratio of 46 to 40
per cent in favor of mounting guns on American
ships and 54 percent in favor of supplying Britain
and delivering those supplies. A college poll, how-
ever, taken by the Student Opinion Surveys of
America, indicates a definite isolationist sent-
iment on the campuses of the country. In favor
of changing the neutrality law so that American
supply ships may be armed and sent into war
zones were 42 percent, against the changing of
the law were 51 percent, 7 percent remained un-
decided.
In answer to the question, "What co you be-
lieve is more important for the United States to
try to do?" 14 percent replied, "Declare war and
light," and 79 percent said, "Stay out and supply."
Growing pessimism was discoveied concern-
ing America's ability to avoid the conflict. Since
1939 the Survey has kept tab on the college
opinions in answer to the question, "Do you
think the United States can stay out of war."
Optimism has diminished steadily. In 1939, 68
percent believed we could stay out; now, only 42
percent think it possible to avoid entanglement
in the conflict.
These polls indicate plainly the college stu-
dent's disagreement with the older part of the
population. Instead of being more eager for im-
mediate action the college student is conservative
and shows more tendency to stand aside and let
the European conflict solve itself. Reasons for
the difference of opinion here may be: the college
student knows that he and his generation, more
than his elders, will have to bear the burdens of
this war; youth's eternal radicalism is manifest-
ing itself again, and the mind of the college stu-
dent is less susceptible to propoganda which has
been and is being used to sway national sentiment
Be the reasons what they may, such are the fig-
ures.

COMMENTS
by J. F. HOLLY
DOMESTIC OUTLOOK
The national emergency has
brought many problems to the
front both in domestic and
foreign affairs. The foreign sit-
uation is beset with difficulties
that defy analysis by this writer.
The domestic scene is also com-
plex and lines of demarcation arc
quite blurred, but some conclu-
sions regarding the future are
evident if preset trends continue.
For the past several months
the nation has experienced labor
troubles, price troubles, priority
troubles, and tax troubles. If the
present is at all indicative of the
future the individual and the
business man is in for even more
of each of these troubles. The
reasons for this conclusion aie
many, and this article will at-
tempt to set forth these reasons.
In the first place piece-meal
government, controls are not
working well. In fact the whole
system will soon collapse unless
it is hastily bolstered by strong
action from the administration
and Congress. The patch work
system of controls invites a
vicious spiral of rising prices
which can be prevented only by
more stringent and adequate con-
trols. The following will illustrate
the ineffectiveness of our present
controls. If railroad workers get a
wage increase, then railroads will
demand and get a rate increase,
then industry's costs will increase
and prices will be increased to
meet the increased costs. The re-
sult: another influence for infla-
tion.
In the second place, President
Roosevelt is unwilling to assume
the controls necessary if we
are to present the enumerated
troubles. He is hesitating to a-
dopt strike controls, is still wait-
ing to apply effective price con-
trols, and is unwilling to go the
limit in priority control.
Thirdly, Congress is unwilling
to adopt effective price control
measures. The House Committee
which reported the price control
bill failed to recommend regula-
tions for wages and form prices -

Showalter Runs Wild!
Those big bad Buffaloes re-
turned home on November 1. for
the first time since the Teachers'
game, and proceeded to rout a
lighter but plunky Tusculum
eleven 33-0 This set a new sea-
son high for che Herd and was the
first game on a vigorous Novem-
ber schedule.
The Buffs, after receiving the
khkofT on their own 35, roared
down the field for the first score
withuut once relinquishing pos-
session of the ball. It was "Bo"
and "Sho" who took turns in lug-
ging the leather to the seven.
Then "Bo" squirmed over and
fumbled, but recovered for the
first touchdown. "Shorty" Wil-
liams then lent a loot to the
cause and obligingly converted.
The "Herdy-girdies"' then
kicked off, held for downs and
took Tusculum's punt on the 20.
Showalter ripped off seven yards
and then rolling like the Chat-
tanooga Choo-Choo, stormed 73
yards for the second tally.
Featured by Mau pin's 21 yard
end around play, the Buffs
scored later when Kilgore passed.
to Blessing for the third light-
ning-like thrust in the first period.
This time Maupin converted to
make it 20-0.
In the third period Bill Sho-
walter, "in the pink", bowled
over the entire Tusculum team
in snorting 70 yards for his
second six-pointer, with Williams
converting He plunged ten yards
for the final counter climaxing a
54 yard sustained drive down the
field.
Outstanding for the Pioneers
were -Mitchell, Schultze, Burris,
Campbell - - a quartet of shifty
backs.

SENIOR PORTRAITS
Mike Davis
This brown-eyed flash was
born in Townsend, Tennessee in
the year of 19 IS and has lived
there since that fateful day.
His first six years of school
work were spent at the Red
Bank Grade School, and his re-
maining preparatory years of
school work were spent in the
Townsend Schools where he
graduated in 1938. While in high
school he played four years of
football, being captain his senior
year.
In the fall of '38 he came to
Milligan due to the influence of
his high school coach and Coach
Lacey. While here he has major-
ed in biology with minors in
chemistry and mathematics. He
has lettered in football three
years and is now president of the
(*M" Club. He is an assistant to
Prof. Cochrane this year in the
biology department.
Mike loves sports and the
movies. His plans for the future
are dominated by Uncle Sam
but he prefers work in the field
of biology.
To the freshmen, Mike says;
"Face the world with a smile."

In The Chapel
Dr. William R. Rigell
Dr. William R. Rigell, pastor
of the Central Baptist Church of
Johnson City was guest speaker
in chapel Tuesday morning Oc-
tober 28.
His scripture lesson was taken
from Philippians 4:10-13 and his
aubjnet "The Doing of One's
Best" was a most timely one,
*ince exams began Wednesday.
Dr Rigell pointed out that
doing one's best is a difficult
task, and that so often we say
that we have done our best when
we haven't. Best is not found in
ourselves alone. We do our best,
he said, in doing well the thing
in hand. We are always expect-
ing to be good, do good and
achieve out in the years ahead.
But we need to do well the thing
in hand the other will keep slip-
ping our minds. Dr. Rigell
pointed out that often those who
come out behind du b«sst in
things to come because they did
best with the thing at hand al-
though they may have lost at
the time being. An athletic team
can be on the losing end of the
score and yet the winner for
having done his best with the
thing in hand.
We, today, find or look for the
way of least resistance. There is
something wrong when we are al-
ways seeking the way of least re-
sistance, going to the right and
to the left when the way to that
for which we are searching is
through the center. We must do
the thing in hand and through
the heart of struggle. Each of us
should yield up to some great
cause - - have a reason for living
and not just flounder around.
When one gets a grip on his own
soul and becomes dedicated to a
great cause he is approaching his
best. To live Christ is a great
cause. Do your best in every-
thing you do - and you've won.
And in closing Dr. Rigell quot-
ed these lines,
"Do your best, leave the rest
What's the use to worry?
Firm endeavor stands the test
More than haste and hurry.
Rich reward comes to him
Who works on with smiling vim. "
Dr. Robert King
Dr. Robert King, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church of
Johnson City spoke in chapel
Tuesday morning October 21.
The scripture passage for the
morning was chosen from John
lo, and Dr. King spoke from the
passage " I have called you
friends."
He pointed out that through-
out all life there is a yearning in
every human heart for friendship
and fellowship. We must see the
human face and hear the human
voice or go wild. It was pointed
out that twenty eight days is the
longest one has ever been able to
stand solitary confinement in
prison.
The whole human race longs
for friendship and fellowship.
Without it courage falters. We
need a good firm handclasp and
a pat on the shoulder when we
falter and then we do not fall,
Friendship is the one thing
that the more we give the more we
have left. The human race is
bound together with the bonds ol
friendship and fellowship.
More than 1900 years ago, he
points out, God heard a cry of
the human race for a friend. He
opened the doorway of heaven
and sent his son Jesus Christ —
such an understanding friend.
Jesus always understands, be-
cause he has been tried as we
have.
We are launching into a world
today that is turning in many
directions at once, and we become
confused. There is a voice which
is saying, " Look up lad and
come on." If we only put our
hand in His, the miracle working
hand, we can do abundantly for
He says, "I have called you
friends."

Honor Trustees, Faculty
Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Derthick
gave an informal tea Oct. 27, in
honor of the Board of Trustees

Autumn colors were used, and
when the guests were taken to
the dining room, they found a
beautiful silver set service which
was presented to the Derthick's
last October by the Milligan
Trustees in appreciation of their
twenty three years of service in
the administration of the college.
Because of illness of Mrs. Der-
thick, it has been necessary to
postpone the dedication of the
tea set until the present time.
Mrs. A. B. Crouch, wife of the
President of the Board; Mrs.
Charles Wolfe, HI, wife of the
Vice-president of the Board and
Chairman of the Executive Com-
mittee; and Mrs. L. W. McCown,

Miss Aline Hyder played the
violin and Mrs. Ralph Striker of
Washington, D. C, who is visit-
ing her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
W. L. Rice of Erwin, added to
the pleasure of the party by sing-
ing.
The Board of Trustees pres-
ented to Mr. and Mrs. Derthick

of a House member "the bill

In the final instance the gov-

orities are running into trouble.
Neither OPM nor SPAB has

What would a voice sound like

cer of a CBS program. He wanted
to recreate the famous attempt

the fact that an actor with his

Madrigal Singers Entertain
Mr. Clellan, director of music
for Science Hill High School,
Joho.-on City, and seven of his
pupils presented a group of lyrics
in madrigal style to the student
body, during chapel Friday Feb-
ruary 20.
Mr. Clellan gave a brief back-
ground of the Madrigals, and ex-
plained that the music is written
in six and eight parts and not the
usual four parts of today. The
songs they sang dated back as
far as the 16th century.
HE SERVES HIS COUNTRY
"A thing of beauty is a joy for-
ever; its loveliness increases; it
will never pass into nothingness"-
such is the spirit and the attitude
that Dean Eyler has established
at Milligan College. Despite the
fact that he has been called to
serve our country eisewhere we
feel that a part of him will re-
main continually with us until
his return.
Dean Eyler came to Milligan
in 1925 and has served as an ad-
ministrator, coach, instructor,
and friend to all those students
with whom he has come in con-
tact. He has been very active in
college life, turned out many
championship basketball teams,
made our chapel services inter-
esting and entertaining, and
through his initiative has success-
fully sponsored the purchase of
the school's movie projector. In
the meantime he has been a
member of the executive commit-
tee of the National Rules Com-
mittee, has been a prominent
football and basketball official,
teacher of the Men's Bible Class
at the First Presbyterian Church,
and was recently installed as
president of the Johnson City Ki-
wanis Club.
Given Leave of Absence
For the Duration
Chairman A. B. Crouch of the
College Board of Trustees an-
nounced at a recent meeting that
Dean Eyler would be given a
leave of absence for the duration
of the war. He left last Sunday
to report at Washington for duty.
Although it is with a certain
amount of sorrow to see "Doc"
go, we are proud to give to our
country a Captain "who cannot
be replaced."

The Wreckord"
Last year, when th<j need of human energy
and natural resources proved more desperately
urE°nt than ever before, the American people
proceeded to liquidate more of their number and
to demolish more of their mechanical facilities
than in any year since the introduction of
the motor car, according to a new book entitled
"The Wreckord" just issued by The Travelers
Insurance Company
The booklet is the twelfth in a scries issued
annually and presents a comprehensive analysis
of the facts about accidents in which 40,000 per-
sons were killed and almost a million and a half
were injured in 1941. Both totals, it is pointed
out, are the nighest in the history of the automo
bile.
There were more than a million accidents
during the year involving injury or death and
several million others involving property damage
only. Probably 1,000 automobiles a week were
demolished beyond repair.
"The nation, if it is to succeed in its victory
program, simply cannot afford a continuation of
this waste of life, of man-hours, of hospital space,
of machinery and of morale," the foreword states,
"The record of death and injury is one that
should leave every American with a sense of
shame and should move every one of us to resolve
that it shall never happen again."
Highlights from the annual report, based on
official records from the 48 states, include the fol-
lowing facts:
Exceeding the sneed limit was responsible for
almost 42 per cent of the fatalities. In no other
year since the record has been kept has speed
loomed so large as a factor in accidents.
Two out of every three persons killed met
death as the result of some reckless or illegal ac-
tion on the part of a driver.
More than 90 per cent of all vehicles involved
in fatal and non-fatal accidents were in apparently
good mechanical condition at the time of the
crash.
More than 82 per cent of all fatal accidents
occurred on dry roads and 87 per cent happened
in clear weather.
A feature of this year's booklet is a quiz en-
titled "Off to Work You Go." It proves the folly
of dawdling at home and then hurrying on the
highway to make up for lost time and shows the
"quizee" the exact hour he should get up in the
morning in order to get to work safely and on
time.
The insurance company will distribute more
than two million copies of the booklet this year
in the interest of highway safety. Single copies or
quantities are available through the company or
any of its representatives.
In '42 it's up to YOU.
COMMENTS
by J. F. HOLLY
"Men and Tools"
Industrial America is facing
two shortages at the present time
which are impeding our war pro-
duction effort. In the first place
there is a shortage of skilled la-
bor. Secondly, the United States
does not possess the quantity of
machine tools necessary to carry
out our proposed schedules of
production. The importanl ques-
tion is: Can we overcome these
two deficiencies in such a con-
clusive way thatour victory pro-
gram can advance unhindered?
Any immediate answer to this
question will be susceptible to
oversimpiication. However, there
are certain facts which point the
way to a partial solution of these
problems. (The writer is not here
interested in such time eonsum-
ing programs as increased voca-
tional training; upgrading of the
labor force; new production
schedules; etc. His interest is in
what can be done now with our
existing forci s to meet the
problems listed above.)
The immediate solution is to
increase the hours of work, both
by over-time work and by work-
ing plants twenty-four hours each
day in the week where such is
po=sib!e. Such a change will give
us more man hours of skilled la-
bor and the equivalent of more
machine tools. However, our pro-
blem does not end here. Even
though the answer to our enig-
ma as outlined above is the in-
creasing of hours of work, the
real problem is a wages issue —
not a question of hours.
On Washington's birthday,
while President Rossevelt was
declaring that there would be no
more stoppages of work, 17,000
West Coast workers were idle be-
cause their unions and their em-
ployers could not come to a de-
cision on the rate of pay for over-
time work - should it be time-
and-a-half pay or double-time
pay? A recent C. I. O. survey in
the state of New Jersey estab-
lished the fact that New Jersey
"defense" plants were working
only half time due to disputes

"A-l TO MILLIGAN"
A captain in the other fray
Called to colors for today
Glad to serve the U.S.A.
Captain Eyler, now we say.
Sure we hate to see him go
From chapel, stage, to every row
We miss that ever-constant flow
Of humor, wit, and so-an-so.
Yes, every student had a friend
One on whom he might depend
To us a happy time its been
Associating with our Dean of Men
Drama was ever in his heart
A primary interest from the start;
Even when leaving he had a part
And played it, I'd say swell.
Through his efforts all in all
Milligan is tops in basketball
A champion team gave its all
A champion coach answers h is call
After sixteen years at Milligan
Words failed him, as they can-
Smiles on every face grew wan
Sorrow of losing such a man.
"COLD STORAGE"
Slippery ice — very thin
Pretty girl — tumbled in.

Gave a shriek — then she sank.
Boy on bank — heard her shout;
Jumped right in — helped her out,
Now he'sher's — very nice;
But she had — to breakthe ice.

Buff Cagers Stop
Emory and Henry Twice
First Game - -
Those sharp-shooters from
Emory and Henry came to town
Feb. 10 with the intention of
swarming the team whom King
defeated, but in spite of the fact
that the Buffs were trail-wean-,
they found defeat staring them
in the face from start to finish as
the Eylermens' defense slowed
Kilbourne and Co. down a few
knots.
The Buffs were paced by Pierce
as he registered 21 points for his
night's work, and Charlie Akard,
who got hot in the second half as
he dribbled through Emory's
back-court defense to score 12
points. Cure contributed 10
points and pairing with Garner
proved too much for Michael and
Kilbourne on defense. At half-
time the Buffs led 31-30 and con-
tinued to lead the rest of the
game, the final score being 5S-54.
Second Game - -
Saturday night of the same
week, the Bulfs journeyed to
Emory in quest of a second vic-
tory over Bailey's scoring ma-
chine. For 10 years the Emory
court has meant defeat for the
Buffs but this night the Green
and White proved to all doubt-
ful minds they were capable of
defeating this same team twice
in one week.
Although Kilbourne netted 20
points, his high-scoring mate,
Michael again was allowed only
5 points as the Buffs' zone de-
fense worked effectively.
Hays started the Buffs on to
victory by scoring 12 pts. before
the half, which found the Butfs
leading 22-21. Coming back in

Buffs Eliminate Bulldogs
Monday, February 9, the
"Green and White" Buffaloes
journeyed to Barboursville, Ken-
tucky to open their "four-game '
week by facing the strong Union '
College Bulldogs. For the past
week the Buffs had failed to dis-'
play "'anything" on the ball and'
suffered two straight set-backs \
which apparently set the stage
for another defeat at the hands
of the Bulldogs.
The Union team faced the
Buffs with an undefeated record
I to-date on their home court and
j having lost only three road games
j including U-T, Georgetown, and
; M illigan ; the previous Buff-Union
contest was by the score of 4S-47-
! Despite previous exhibitions the
| Eylermen ran out on the floor
' with pep and spirit that proved
| to be disastrous for the Bulldogs.
I Paced by Jocko Hays the Buff?
! started at the bell with the in-
I tention of proving they were still
'one of the best ball clubs that
' Doc" Eyler has coached in re-
cent years — they were determin-
ed to prove to their loyal sup-
porters they had not lost their
stampeding ability established
earlier in the season.
The Buffs clicked on offense
and defense and left the court at |
half-time leading 25-13. In the !
second half the Bulldogs staged a j
rally as the Buffs slowed up for a*
few minutes and from then until
the final whistle blew the lead I
was a '"see-saw" affair and ended ■
with the score tied at 40-40.
After both fans and players
took a three minute rest, the
over-time period was underway
and then the Buffs really loos-
ened up to pour the oil on a tired
Union team. Charlie Akard
broke the tie with a beautiful set-
Teachers Defeated
Again
Monday night, Feb. 16: the
stampeding Buffaloes dropped
over to Johnson City, paying a
visit to the Teachers College
Buccanners and seeking to make
it two in a row over the Bucs.
Due to the interest in all Teach-
ers-M illigan contests, a largp
crowd was on hand including a
hundred loyal M illigan support-
ers.
The game started off slow with
Teachprs taking the lead for the
first two minutes but the Buffs
soon proved that they were cap-
able of defeating a zone defense
even on a very small court. The
Green and White were so hot on
their set shots that they did not
even attempt to work the ball in
for a closer range, setting too
fast a pace for their close rivals.
Leading the Eylermen on both
offense and defense was Charlie
Akard, who scored 13 points and
held Burleson, Teachers "hot-
shot", to two lone field goals.
He was followed closely by Pierce,

each reserve also aiding to the
cause. Exum paced the Teacher

by Hays and Pierce to win the
affair 48-41.
Hays led the scoring parade
with IS points being closely fol-
lowed by Pierce and Akard as
they each garnered 13 points.
But most important in the vic-
tory was the re-bound work of
Garner and Cure, aided by the
defense work of each Buff player.
Working together as a machine
they well deserved to win.
Defeating Mexico
Y. M. C. A.
The Milligan College Buffaloes
ended their basketball season
February 21. by defeating Mexi-
co City Y. M. C. A. by the count
of 50 — 48- A field goal in the
final minutes of the game gave
the Buffs the decision over our
southern neighbors in one of the
fastest games seen here this sea-
son.
The Mexican quint jumped in-
to an early lead as Labastida
tossed in three consecutive goals,
but the Buffs fought back to lead
; the scoring 25 -20 at the half.
' During the second half, Milligan
! stayed in front until the last few
) minutes of play when the visitors
went ahead 48 — 47, but here
Pierce stepped in and clinched
the game with a bucket.
I This was the final game for
' Milligan this season. Under the
leadership of "Doc" Eyler the
Buffs had a very successful sea-
son, but played "on" and "off"
brand of ball, winning over half
of their games played. Seniors
who played their last games for
the green and white were Cap-
tain Akard, Hays, Cure and
MacDowell. These four men were
the main cogs in the winning
combination of Milligan's hard-
wood gladiators this season.

two or three times before finish
ing grammar school at Athens,
West Virginia.
In September, 1934 he entered
Elizabethton High School where
he took part in the R O.T.C. At
the same time he became inter-
ested in Boy Scout work and
now has seven years active ser-
vice in this field. He atti nded
the National Jamboree in Wash-
ington, D.C. and the New York
World's Fair as a leader; at the
present he is a commissioned offi-

Milligan appealed to him for
further study because of
other Milligan students and be-
cause he wanted to pay his own
way. In the fall of '39 he took
part in college football.
At present he is employed by
Paty Lumber Company and

On Monday night, February

business session Virginia Burkett
reveiwed Norman Angell's book,
"For What Do We Fight".
Mr. Angell maintains if the
struggle of the soldiers is to ac-
complish anything, civilians must
fulfill political conditions. The
present war, he says, was brought
about mainly because the Ger-
mans had no discussion in the
treatv of Versailles. The pacifest
idea is no good; force must be
used to subdue force.
February 13, Ted Alexander
gave his ideas of "After the War,
What". Mr. Alexander contends
each nation should receive its
just deserts. And then Gelda
Bfrnie presented some of Win-

Monday evening, February II,
the Pre- Med Club held initiation
rites for four applicants for mem-
bership. The following received
their medicine and were accepted
by the older heads: Fred
Williams, Jack Ankeny. Robert
Jesse.and Walter Hannah.
The following Monday these
four boys received their mem-
bership certificates and treated
with a very excellent discussion
of the medical history of Dr.
Samuel Johnson by Dean Eyler.
In this rare discussion, Dean Ey-
ler presented a side of Johnson's
life which few men know; it seems
that Dr. Johnson had almost ev-
ery disease known to man, from
melancholia to tuberculosis.
On Monday evening, Feb. 11,
Professor Cochrane delivered an
address to the club on the medi-
cal and biological aspects of the
present war. Thiswas an extreme-
ly pertinent subject and the club
greatly appreciated Professor
Cochrane's remarks on a subject
that affects us all.
M" Club Sponsors Class Tournament
Although the regular season
for basketball was completed
Feb. 21, the great game of the
hardwood has recently been re-
kindled by the "M" Club. Last
week they sponsored a class
tournament in which every one
was declared eligible except var-
sity players and action began im-
mediately.
Friday night promptly at 6:30,
E.W.T., referees Hays and Mc-
Dowell blew the whistle to start
the rough - and - tumble affair be-
tween Coach Lane's sopomore
aggregation and Coach Pierce's
junior boys. The action was very
fast and furious for 39 minutes be-
fore the juniors slacked up a wee-
bit to fall behind and lose by a
score of S9 — 11.
Soon afterwards more fireworks
took place as Coach Cure's Brui-
sers took the court to defend
their seniority against Coach
Miller's freshmen selectees. This
proved to be a breath-taking o-
ccasion for the fans as the sen-
iors emerged victorious by a six-
point advantage to enter the
finals withthe sophomores.
Saturday night the nickle show
pulled the curtain for the
championship game between the
seniors and the sophomores, with
both teams gunning for the
trophy - prestige. To our sur-
prise we really enjoyed a very
close defensive game as the sen-
ior amateurs clinched the victory
24-21.
In the consolation game, Paul
Gilmer led the freshmen in a de-
cisive triumph over the lowly
juniors.

COMMENTS

concerning over-time pay. And
so it goes throughout the nation.
We need industrial products for
our war elfort. Industrial work-
ers are eager to extend their hours
of work to produce the needed
implements. Our underlying dif-
ficulty is that we are permitting
precious hours to become mean-
inless while petty bickering takes
its unhurried course.
Demands for wage increases
and stoppages of work will con-
tinue as long as there are under-
lying economic forces at work
which make for price increases.
The bottleneck then is the ab-
sence of a workable wage policy.
No fair minded American wants
to see labor ham-strung; but, the
time of Rooseveltian decrees is
over. An unwavering wages pol-
icy is urgently needed.
News and Notes
(Continued from page 1)
There are at least 30,000 po-
tential radio writers in the coun-
try, judging by the number of
entries in the "Dr. Christian
Award" competition, which closes
May 1. Already that number of
sets of contest rules have been
requested by listeners to the CBS
Wednesday night "Dr. Christ-
ian" program. "Scripts," says
Jean Hersholt, star of the pro-
gram, "may be written in pencil,

the second half, the teams ran
a close race until Charlie Akard
hit the net for 12 markers to
clinch another victory. On both
defense and offense, "Pie"
played his best game of the sea-
son as he went the route in his
guard position. The final score
was 46-38 and it was a well
pleased Dean as he brought his
boys back to the fold.

Methodist Minister Speaks
Rev. B. H. Hampton, of the
Central Methodist Church, Eliz-
abethton, spoke in the chapel
Tuesday. February 10. He spoke
on our desire for something per-
manent. There was a day when
the hills that we speak of as eter-
nal did not exist, there will be a
day when they will not exist. The
things that we count the most
permanent are not.
1 Hebrews 13:8, we find that
Jesus Christ is the same yester-
day, today, and tomorrow.
Rev. Hampton pointed out
that Jesus dealt with direction in
life rather than in definitions,
Jesus said, "Be not anxious for
tomorrow." The direction that
he was giving here was "trust".
Woe to that person who has lost
faith and cannot trust. We mu.=t
prepare to do our best and then
not worry.
The second direction that Jesus
gave was '"give" --Give to them
that asketh of thee. Let our trend
of life be toward giving help, A
permanent direction of life is
found in giving.
"Forgiveness" is the third di-
rection given. Christ, when asked
of the disciples how many times
they should forgive, gave them
an unlimited number of times, so
forgive always, for that is a d;
ection of life.
"Be ye therefore perfect",
given as a direction of life. It is
an ideal toward which we can
strive, though we can never
reach it, we never run out of a
direction, we never reach it but
if we keep on going, our glory is
in making good.
King Beats Buffs
(Continued from page 4)
and swamped our boys as thpy
hit the hoop consistently while
the Buffs failed to click on any-
thing, thus meeting disaster.
This same Tornado came
blowing down upon Cheek gym-
nasium Feb. 12 whieh happened
to be at a very opportune time
or them to face the Buffs be-
cause having already defeated
Union and Emory earlier in the
eek found it impossible to keep
up the pace they had set in these
other contests. Fowler and Vance
led King to victory and the only
creditable playing for the Bulfs
was the defensive work of "Big-
Sugar" Cure, as he held Vic Kur-
savage, giant center, practically
scoreless.
Rev. Hampton further pointed
out, that Jesus dealt with per-
sonal rather than institutional
values. He dealt with personal
attitudes. We must bpware of
coveteousness. Christ said " Ren-
der unto the Caesar the things
which are Ceasar's and unto God
the things which are God's."
Jesus was eternal in his teach-
ings because he dealt with "love"
rather than "law". Today we
must not forget that "God is
love" and Jesus Christ said that
we must love our enemies.
Love of our country, Mr.
Hampton pointed out, is an indi-
vidual application of the law.
Each person must apply the law
to himself and question his mo-
tive for killing as to whether o
not it is a sinful motive.
We have a fellowship that goes
beyond our difference of opinion
in these matters but no matter
how we differ the tie that binds
us together must be stronger
than any difference in opinion,
the bond of fellowship, Mr.
Hampton said.
In conclusion, he pointed out,
that these principles and rules
help us to know Jesus Christ is
eternal for we have not outgrown
these rules and laws he has laid
down for us. Jesus Christ is the
same yesterday, today, and to-
morrow.

Miss Nancy Cantreli, who has
represented Milligan College as
fie'd repreesntative for the past
several years, is now studying at
Northwestern University, and it
is not definitely known whether
she will return to her duties here.
However, Milligan will be repre-
sented by Mrs. Steve Lacey
(Martha Cross, class of 1933).
She will begin her duties at once.
At the present time she is spend-
ing sometime on the hill getting
acquainted with the present stu-
dent body so that she might bet-
ter learn the interests of the dif-
ferent sections of the state.
Martha has been teaching for
the past several years. Now she
returns to her Alma Mater in the
capacity of field represntative.
With her pleasing personality
and interest in the college, we
know that she will successfully
carry on the duties connected
with her work as representative.
The things we do are our
loud speakers.
When a man admits he is a
crank, he isn't.
The man who is continually
at work is a man who is happv
and continuously successful.

The Army Needs Offi
cers
Turning to the national defense effort, Co-
lumbia network presented a program of interest to
college students when it brought to the air Assis-
tant Secretary of War, John J. McCloy, in aspec-
ial broadcast entitled "The Army Needs Offi-
cers." (Tuesday, March 3.)
Speaking from Washington, Secretary Mr-
Cloy discussed the army's plans to tiain 75,000
new officers within the ranks during the year, in
line with its policy of giving every enlisted or
drafted soldier the chance to become an officer.
According to the Army Information Service
in New York, any intelligent and willing draftee
stands a good chanre of winning a commission
regardless of previous education. While high
school and college training is valuable, it is not
essential in becoming an officer. Every new sol-
dier must take three months of intensive basic
military training after which his advancement
depends on his ability and willingne-s to work.
Recognizing the value of specialized training
prior to enlistment, the army points out its num-
erous departments wherein "experts" may quali-
fy as officers.
Collegians are all familiar with the Reserve
Officers' Training Corps established in many uni-

Men are what women marry.
Generally speaking they may be divided in-
to three classes: (I) Husbands, (2) Bachelors, (3)
Widowers. An eligible bachelor is a man of ob-
stinacy entirely surrounded by suspicion. Hus-
bands are of three varieties: prizes, sur-prizes.
and consolation prizes. Making a husband out of
a man is one of the highest plastic arts known to
civilization. It requires science, sculpture, com-
mon sense, faith, hope, and charity.
If you flatter a man, you frighten him to
death; if you don't, you bore him to death. If you
permit him to make love to you, he gets tired of
you in the end;if you don't, he gets tired of you
in the beginning If you believe all he tells you,
then he thinks you are foolish; if you don't, he
thinks you are a cynic.
If you wear gay colors, rouge, and a startling
hat. he hesitates to take you out. If you wear a
little brown turban and a tailored suit, he takes
you out and stares all evening at a woman in gay
colors, rouge, and wearing a startling hat.
If you are the clinging vine type, he doubts
whether you have any brains, and if you are a
modern, advanced, and intelligent woman, he
doubts whether you have a heart. If you are silly
he longs for a bright mate, and if you are intelli-
gent, he longs for a playmate.
Men are all this and maybe more.

What Can I Do
The present world wide conflict
is to the average American, a-
liove all else, a war of standards
oT living. Many of ns can and
will serve in the armed forces of
the nation; however, for those
who remain behind there arc also
battles that must be fought and
won. Each person can and should
think of himself as a soldier in
I lie battle of the standards of liv-
ing. Until the war is won on the
home front there is little place
Tor optimism or complacency
concerning the activities of our
armed forces in the various the-
atres of the present war.
Hitler, long ago, prescribed
the channels through whii h a
modern war must be fought if it
is to be won. Fur Germany and
her allies Hitler decreed that
there would be two channels
through which the resources of
the nation would flow. In the
first place, tho:>e goods required
for civilian consumption would
be made available to the consum-
er This allocation was to be de-
termined solely on the amount
of goods necessary to enable the
producer on the home front to
function as a productive unit In
the second place, all other goods
would flow into the war effort.
According to Hitler, "Do without
butter to have bullets better
bullets than butter."
Since Germany has had a head
start on us and because of our
abundant resources there is little
reason to believe that our tech-
nique of rationing and allocations
1 attain the perfection with
which the German economy op-
erates. Yet there is no reason for
us to become complacent and
soft and assume that we can go
on living our normal existence.
Sacrifices can and must be made.
It is no longer safe to think of
economy as a system which oper-
ates in response to prices. Hitler
has prescribed that the winnerof
a modern war is the nation that
diverts the most of its produc-
tive resources to the war effort.
To defeat Hitler we must follow

The houquets of the past week
should have rightfully gone to
the girls for such a swell party.
Yours truly devotes this column
to O/.zie for a synopsis.
"Cornyville Highlights"
Some loud noise attracted mc
from my obscure observation
point and I decided to follow the
skirts over to the Cornyville. I
became interested and entered,
legally. Inside was an odd crea-
ture selling tickets - - she was
pale, blanch, and fair, fit for a
King, she said. Finally 1 snitched
my ticket for an unsutmottntable
amount of cash to buy hash and
see trash. A sign, impolitely
stared me in the face-- 1 looked
at it and started to deposit my
children in a cage. They were
gone! Natually they would be for
I haven't any; how stupid of
them.
Inside it was, please note, very
clean. The air-conditioning sys-
tem installed was, a Mammoth
Cave with continuous hot air
flowing out. Later I found this
cave to be only an abyss in a
girl's pan.
I first entered the dollar booth,
you know, June, moon, croon,
spoon. I came out broke. Next
I staggered into the Esquire Shop
and thought it was a rummage
sale.
In again, out again. What? A
dog-face girl? Which one of them
could, pardon me, would it be?
The place was a barking kennel.
The dog was a Gray cur.
Down to Andy Jackson's un-
touched mansion, it was indeed
unique. I didn't get my fortune
told, as there were to many
standing around, and so ambled
around to toss at Adolf. I hit him

Spotlight
Spring brings to Cherokee field
not only a green meadow, but
also a scalped infield and each
evening you can again find Coach
Lacey in the driver's seat as he
attempts to organize another
championship team in baseball.
At the present 25 boys, cap-
tioned by "Big Train'' Alexander
are regularly working out as they
swing the bats, chase balls, lim-
ber up stiff arms, hit the dirt, |
and hustle around the diamond
with the intention of wearing a
Buffalo robe when the umpire
calls, ''play ball''!
During the past week Coach
has emphasized batting practice,
sliding, running the bases, and
fielding the ball. The boys are
rapidly getting in shape as they
hustle to their positions when the
evening drill begins. Leading
this garrison in their grapefruit
work-outs are Ted Alexander,
captain and number one pitcher,
and Bo Brummitt, veteran catch-
er. Other members from last
year's squad include Lane, Cross,
Charlie Akard, Pardue, Peters,
and McDowell.
But these players from last
year are finding plenty of com-
petition as the freshmen and
others are rapidly showing their
coach they can play ball. Very
impressive in recent practice in-
clude Tipton, Pierce, Thomas,
Davis, Fine, Carico, Sam and
Stallard.
As the weather gets nonml we
predict that these boys will be
capable of winning their third
consecutive championship in this
major spring sport. To each of
them, we extend our hearty en-
couragement and support.

A squad of 20 hopefuls report-
ed to Coach Star Wood, March
16, for the opening of the track
season.
Four lettermen from last year
reported for duty: David Trotter,
lanky distance runner; Slew Stal-
lard. dashman and middle dis-
tance runner; Morris Daniels, a
440 man; and Jack Ankeny,
dashman and hurdle artist.
Other men who hope to make
a name for themselves on the
cinder path are: G. B Pierce, Jim
Harmon, Tommy Miller, Sugar
Cure, Pie Garner, David Hall
Jack Slo-hcr, Arthur Domkey
Herbert Breeding, and Gene
McNeeley.
These boys are taking their
training very seriously this year
for they will lack last year's two
super- tracksters, Dagata and
Childers, for many events. Meets
already scheduled include: Tus-
culum, Mars Hill, and Emory
and Henry.
To these lanky, stocky, and
powerful boys, we say, "Lets get
in shape, be ready, don'tgive out
and may you set new records
for our Alma Mater."
We're betting on you.
Intramural News

three games From both trams
the coaches selected the following

taking firtt place in the world of
indoor sports. Sixteen girls en-
tered the tournament Edna Wil-
son, a Freshman, showed more
skill than any other girl, and car-
ried off the victory with a score
of 125. Kitty Allen was runner-
up with a score of 121. Edna's
highest score during the tourna-
ment was 147.
The tennis tournament has be-

they are playing off their matches
as rapidly as the weather per-

Fred Greer
This five feet and six inches of
dynamite was born February 2,
1921 near Gate City, Virginia
At the age ol four lie was moved
to Detroit uhire he lived four
years and attended three years of
grade school.
Freddie then mov d to King
spurt, where he completed his
grade school work before moving
back to the Gate City vicinity.
His first two years of secondary
school study were spent at Mid-
Way before he changed schools
in preference of Norton High
School and here he obtained his
high school diploma. While in
high school he played basketball,
was a member of the Debating
Club:Glee Club, Camera Club,
and the For^enic Council
The fall of '38 found Freddie
at Milligan due to the influence
of his cousin, who was at that
time a Buffalo senior The first
thing which attracted Fred on
the campus was the tennis courts
and despite the fact he had nev-
er played before, he immediately
borrowed a racquet and began
hitting the ball into the net. It
was not long until he could get
one over the net and not over the
fence. This began his tennis ca-
reer which now finds him as Mil-
ligan's number one netter and
captain. Last year he was man
ager of basketball, has been a
member of the "M" Club two
years, and always a campus fa-
vorite.
He is majoring in chemistry,
with minors in biology aud math-
ematics. After graduation, he
plans on working in a plant un-
til Uncle Sam calls.
Burchell Stallard
Bun-hell "'Slew" Stallard. six
feet and five inches ol human-
ity, was bfirn one fatal day back
in 1918 in WUe County, Virginia,
and to this day considers Ihis
historic seer on as valuable to him
as it was fo John Fox. Jr.
He began his education at
Mountain View Grade School by
spending eight years of prepar-
atory study before ' nter'.ny Coe-
burn Hi in the fall of '34 He
only had time to find his appoint-
d seat before he joined the stal-
warts for football practice. This
was the beginning of his four
years on the high school gridiron,
and the last two years he was se-
lected as a member of the All-]
County team. In (he spring of
each year he usually limbered up
his muscles on the cinder track.
The fall of '38 found "Slow" at
the University of Vircinin. spend-
ing one semester playing fresh-
men football and then due to the
influence and persuasion of Coach
Lacey he came to Milligan for
the s'Tond seme.-ter of that year
While here he has continued play-
ing his favorite sport, football,
and setting a fair pace on the
track each spring. He is a mem-
ber of the "M" Club and has
been a full pledged member of
the Power House ever since he
accepted the cordial invita-
tion he re'-eived soon after his
arrival on the campus.
His plans for the future are in
the hands of Uncle Sam and he
quotes, "If I am lucky enough to
return from Tokyo after the war
has been won, I will then cross
the bridges as I come to them.
As hobbies, Burchell prefers
hunting and fishing, and we
might add hiking (to Buffalo
Mountain). Foradvice to the un-
certain, he quotes, "The world is
like a big drum, beat it if you
can."
(Mr. Stallard's picture was not
obtainable.)
Frank Spraker
July 4, 191S not only pr sent-
ed to Cripple Creek. Virginia, a
national holiday but also none
olher than Frank Spraker, who
is now better known as Mi ligan's]
giant football tackle.
His first eight years of school-
ing were sp«-nt at Henley's
Crossroads, and then he entered
Cripple Creek High School where
he spent two years, from where
he went to Wytheville, Virginia,
to complete his high school work
While in high school Frank be-
came prominent as an athlete in
both football and track; his sen-
ior year serving as captain of
these two sports and upon gradu-
ation received th« medal for being
the bokst athlete for that year.
Frank first spent one sein.ster
at the University of Virginia be-
fore he came to Milligian, the
change was chiefly due Lo his high
school co.Lch. "Utiet" Brown, an
alumnus of this school -we also
have a slight idea that Coach
Lacey played a part in securing
this fine football player for us.
Ever since Frank made his ap-
pearance on the hill, he has fea-
tured himseif as the "big buy" in
the Bufl's line, being selected as
as an All-Conference tackle last
year when the Buffaloes finished
their first undefeated, untied sea-
son in a blaze of glory. In the
spring, Frank has also taken
charge of the weights' division on
the track team for the past two
years.
Frank's plans for the future,
we regret to say, have been in-
terrupted since your reporter in-
terviewed him because he recent-
ly joined the armed forces, but
we hope he will return to us when
the war has been won and ob-
tain his degree.
To the freshmen, he says,
"When you get to the end of
your rope, tie a knot and hang
on."
(Mr. Spraker' s picture was not ob-
tainable.)

This "liig Train" was born
somewhere in Russell County,
Virginia, Nov. 30, 1919 He ob-
tained his grade school educa-
tion at Cross Roads, from where
he journeyed to Lebanon High
School for two years of work;
then to St. Paul for his junior
year, and again back tu Leb-
anon where he obtained his di-
ploma.
While in high school, Ted was
a three-sport letterman, playing
bast-ball, basketball, and foot-
ball; in his senior year serving as
captain of the baseball and bas-
ketball teams, also given the
Principal's Cup for being voted
as the outstanding senior in
scholarship, school spirit, and
athletics. All this symbolizes his
"big train" possibilities.
In the fall of '38 Ted came r~
Milligan due to the influence i
Mil ligan's representative, Mis.
Cantrell. While wearing the Buf-
falo robe he has played football
and baseball, and in his favorite
sport on the mound he has been
the "main cog" of the pitching
staff for the past two years as
the Laceymen won two S. M. C.
championships. Again this spring
we will have to rely on Ted's
strong right arm plus, a few cur-
ves.
After receiving his sheepskin
in May, Ted would like to play
pro ball, but will probably find
himself in the army as the hus-
band of a Tennessee school
teacher.

Chapel Speakers
Dr. Ironside
On February 26, Dr. Ironside,
who was conducting a youth
meeting in Johnson City, spoke
in chapel from Romans 1:14-18,
in which Paul makes three de-
clarations, namely: I a debtor, I
am ready, and I am not asham-
ed.
He pointed out that Paul felt
that his knowing Christ made
him a debtor to make Him
known to all the world of which
he comes in contact. Feeling thus,
he was ready to preach the gos-
pel ; he was not ashamed to pre-
sent the message to the great
scholars in Rome.
Dr. Ironside said that all of us,
as Christians, should have the
same attitude as Paul toward the
Bible and the Christ of whom he
speaks, and help preach and
teach the gospel.
Rev. Floyd B. Stark
Rev. Floyd B. Stark of the
First Baptist Church of Eliza-
bethton, was guest speaker in the
chapel March 17. He chose for
his subject "Living on Wings".
We are told, he said, that they
that wait on the Lord shall have
wings for their souls. We can
have these wings in life by living
close to God.
Living close to God gives bou-
yancy tolile, makes us desire to
lift ourselves from sin and com-
monness and dwell apart from
things which pull us down. It
gives us a comprehensiveness, so
that we can see things in their
true relationships; it gives pro-
portion to life; and we begin to
see life in its entirety and not
momentary experiences.
Dr. Chester Swor
Dr. Chester Swor, Dean of
Men and Professor of English at
Mississippi College, near Jackson
Mississippi, was guest speaker in
the chapel on Wednesday, 18 .He
was introduced by Dr. William
R. Rigell, of the Central Baptist
Church of Johnson City.
Dr. Swor chose for his subject,

his rules. Germany must be out-
produced and then defeated mili-
tarily. When we recognize this
fact, rationing and other controls
take on a new meaning to many
of us. We are not to do without
sugar and razor blades so that the
soldier can have more of these
commodities for his comfort. The
reason for such moves lies far
deeper than this. It is a question
of diverting available resources
to the production of war goods.
The present producer of razor
blades will find himself producing
military equipment and thesteel
from which he produced razor
blades may be used to produce
more and better guns. Until the
situation is viewed in this light
all controls over production will
be misunderstood and will not
call forth the proper amount of
civilian cooperation.
In the end, our ability to win
the present conflict may depend
directly upon our ability and our
willingness to restrict consump-
tion of goods at home. This is a
total war and it will not be won
until the efforts of all our peoples
are dedicated to the task at
hand.
"Scrap Iron'', and he presented
it in such a manner that he held
the student body spell bound. He
began by pointing out that a
person who makes trie collecting
of scrap iron his business, wil
grow wealthy from it, just by
taking advantage of something
that others don't want.
Many students, Dr. Swor said,
throw away things that are val-
uable, and free of charge. Others
don't and at the end of four
years of school they have a per-
sonality that is distinctly enrich-
ed by having cashed in on this
"scrap iron".
In conclusion he challenged us
to pickup the "scrap iron" and
cash in, and in so doing come out
at the end with a life with rich-
ness of personality that makes it
really worth living.

Associate Mother of America
Mrs. C. E. Burns, wife of our president, was
recently named by the Golden Rule Foundation
as Associate Mother of America.
Each year since 1935, the Foundation has se-
lected a mother who has done an outstanding job
of rearing her children, and give her the honor-
able title of "American Mother." Through the
medium of the radio, press, and personal appear-
ences they give her a chance to encourage and
help young women in the all important and diffi-
cult position of ''home executive."
This year because of war conditions and a
greater need for the helping of suffering mothers
and children, three mothers have been named,
and others may be appointed later. Mrs. William

Milligan Will Serve The Navy
Below is a copy of the letter which President
Burns recently received from Frank Knox, Sec-
retary of the Navy.
Washington, D. C.
April 9, 1942
Pres. C. E. Burns
Milligan College
Milligan, Tennessee
Dear Sir;
The Navy is proud that your college has un-
dertaken our V-l plan for training freshmen and
sophomores as officer material. Please tell your
young men who apply for enlistment and train-
ing under this plan that they will be serving the
nation if they continue their college courses no
less than those of your alumni who are already in
active service. The Navy knows your institution
and your V-l students will do their part.

Secretary of the Navy
FULL EMPLOYMENT
PESt transitions from a war.
economy to a peace economy
have been difficult and the tran-
sition periods have been charac-
terized by widespread unemploy-
ment, vice and misery. The de-
cline of demand for war goods
has not been offset by an accom-
panying increase in the demand
for consumer goods. The result,
of course, is idle men and idle
machines.
At the end of the present de-
bacle similar results will be in
evidence unless steps are taken
which will counteract the decline
in war-goods production. In
short, if we are to prevent stag-
gering post-war unemployment
and depression, something must
be done which will lead to the
employment of as many men in
peacetime pursuits as are now
employed in war industries and
activities.
The scope of this article does
not permit a detailed analysis of
the ways for bringing such a
result, but some overall state-
ments can be made. Briefly,
there are at least three programs
that can be used in cushioning
the return to a peace economy.
First, it is essential that infla-
tion be prevented during the war.
Such a program, to be effective,
must stop inflation at its source.
In other words excess purchasing
power must be kept out of circu-
lation to prevent price increases.
This means increased taxation
and increased savings.
Secondly, a back-log of pur-
chasing power should be built up
which will provide a stimulus to
consumer goods industries once
the war is over. This will necessi-
tate increased saving; perhaps
compulsory savings.
Finally, all additions to our
national wealth, such as new
buildings and new roads which
can be postponed for future con-
struction should be deferred. This
will provide a stimulus to dur-
able goods industries when new
construction becomes possible af-
ter the present emergency is over.

Well. Tompkins, being best man must have

A certain brunette seems to be Alabama's

followed closely by "Pie" Garner
with 14 points, who placed sec-

Basketeer Sideline
Two weeks ago Captain C. M.
Eyler received a letter from the
manager of the Cincinnati Bible
Seminary basketball team which
reads as follows:
"The Cincinnati Bible Semi-
nary team met last week and se-
lected their 'all-opponents' team,
and I thought you might be in-
terested in the results, as four
Milligan players were represent-
ed. Akard, Cure, and Hays were
chosen on the first team and
Garner was given honorable
mention. I don't hesitate to say
that your team was the strong-
est that we met this year, and
that the competition appears to
be much stronger in Tennessee
than among the small colleges of
this section. I hope that we may
again have the pleasure of com-
peting with you at some future
date.''
Congratulations, boys!
Sluggers Still
Undefeated
Last Saturday at Caswell Park
in Knoxville, Tennessee, Coach
Lacey took the wraps off of his
star pitcher, Ted Alexander, and
sent him to the Smokie mound
in conquest of his third victory
at the expense of the Tennessee
Vols. The entire club had the one
desire - keep their perfect record.
It took "Big Train" only one
inning to prove to his opposition
that he was ready to pin their
ears back with his strong right
arm, and we admit he and his
battery mate, "Bo" Brummitt,
displayed the effectiveness of a
good combination on the dia-
mond.
The game was marred by sev-
eral errors; the Vols managed to
score only one run which came in
the first frame, while the Buffs
collected 10 hits and scored 8
C-N Nine Defeated
The Buffaloes faced the windy,
cool weather along with the
Carson-Newman Eagles out at
Soldiers Home two weeks ago as
they endeavored to keep their
slate clean before facing U. T.
As soon as Alexander again
took the mound for us there was
never any doubt concerning the
outcome as he limited the Eagles
to 6 hits while his teammates
gave him perfect support and
collected 12 hits.
At the nlate Charlie Akard,
Buff short stop, led the attack
with two doubles and a single but
the real slugging was contributed
by Tipton with a homer in the
first and Pardue's triple in the
fifth. Monger was the losing pit
cher with the score being 6 — 3.
runs on Walter Slater. Lane led
our attack with a triple and
double.
Alexander was never pressed
closely but when runners did
manage to reach second base, he
always pitched himself out of
danger. His easiest victim of the
day was Ike Peel, U. T.'s senior
I third baseman, whom he struck
out four times.
Keep hustling, boys, for if you
do, you are capable of complet-
ing your schedule undefeated.

Cross hurled the first five
frames and was the winning pit-
cher; this was his first appear-

Buffalo bats. Everything went
well with him until the fifth in-
ning when the Buff's first line-up
for the season opened up with a
barrage of hits as they drove Cur-
tiss to the showers after nine runs
had crossed the plate.
In the meantime, "Big Train''
Alexander warmed up his arm as
he found the Buos easy sailing
with the veteran "Bo" Brum-
mitt behind the plate. Around
the Buff's infield we found Harry
Fine at first base, Herman Lane
on second, Charlie Akard at
shortstop, and Kermit Tipton
holding down the hot corner. In
the outfield were Pierce. Pardue,
and Carico.
After the sixth inning, Earl
Peters relieved Alexander on the
mound, but just before Ted re-
tired he joined the "hit parade"
when he smashed a long home
run over the right fielder's head.
Pierce, Lane, and Brummitt pac-

their opponents before coming
back for supper with clean spikes
and a 17-6 victory.

In The Chapel
Dr. John T. Stone
Dr. John Timothy Stone, of
Chicago, was guest speaker in the
chapel on April 1. He was in-

Johnson City. He spoke briefly
on "Men of action who control
the present, and men of thought
who control the future".
Mr. Nat Winston
Mr. Nat Winston of Johnson
City was in charge of chapel on
April 8. He presented to us a
movie, "Our Western Front",
after which he made a plea for
United Relief for China. He ask-
ed that we make a small contri-
bution for those "behind the
lines".
Mr. Winston pointed out that
due to the favorable rate of ex-
change one dollar here is worth
j thirty-two there. So by this ex-
change we can aid with even our
dimes and quarters to a great ex-
tent, those who have been fight-
ing longest for democracy.

Associate Mother
(Continued from page 2)
X. Berry of Greensboro, N. C.
was named "American Mother"
and Mrs. Burns and Mrs. Booth
as Associates. The extent of each
territory is not yet known but it
is certain that Mrs. Burns is to
represent Tennessee.
It is not the quantity oi the
chilaren but the quality of them
that makes a mother eligible for
this honor. Each child is investi-
gated carefully and this in a large
measure determines the worthi-
ness of the selectee.
Most of us know Mrs. Burns,
but few know about her early
history. She is a native of the
hill country of Missouri, meeting
and marrying our President in
St. Louis while he was chief clerk
in a freight office there. Scarcely-
had two years passed when the
call of the ministry lay heavily
on their hearts. In 1908, Mr.
Burns enrolled in Hiram College.
During these four years of col-
lege. Mrs. Burns was by her hus-
bands side and often replenished
the scant larder by her needle
and 1 nimbie.
Everywhere they have lived
Mrs. Burns has shown great in-
terest in all church and club
work. At the close of the first
World War, she was active in
Red Cross work, assisting the dis-
abled soldier to find work, or
aiding him in finding his family
or friends. She began the Proba-
tion work in Porter County, In-
diana, working with the Juvenile
Court.
It is of great interest to note
through all these activities she
put her children and home first.
She was seamstress, laundress,
baker, nurse, housekeeper, teach-
er and pal to the seven Burns
children and many others that
gravitated to the Burns' fireside
to be mothered. Work was plan-
ned for all, but a play period was
always set aside when mother
and children and most of the
neighborhood children took part.
From babyhood each child was
taught to work and the thrill of
creative accomplishment. Never
was Mrs. Burns too busy to give
help or to listen to any problem.

Easter is and always will re-
main the anniversary of the
Lord's resurrection from the
grave, he pointed out. The im-
portance of the fact, is what
would be the situation if he had
not. Paul says, If He be not
raised then we are yi't in sin. If
He had been found that morning
dead, then He would not be our
savior. His fraud would have been
exposed. What a grim, dark, dis-
agreeable situation, if he had not
risen, but-- the grave was emp-
ty. We can be sure that if the
body had been found, it would
have been produced b3' Pilate
and the others.
So bright then is our future,
because he did rise. Resurrection
proves that he is God, and could
live a perfect and sinless life.
The stone from the grave is
rolled away before the entrance
of hell.
Christ is first fruits, he pointed
out. He has risen and inevitably,
you and I shall rise from the
grave.
'With the resurrection came a
change in death. Formerly it was
a prison house, but now it can't
hold, because, CHRIST AROSE,
and we can go straight through
death into Heaven and sure sal-
vation.

Each child was given an opport

take, and from the honors that
most of the children have been
able to achieve it "took".
Mrs. Burns has been a mother
to many more than the Burns

The program as outlined calls
for immediate action now. Unless
the future is planned in advance
there is little reason for express-
ing the belief that our return to
a peace economy will be easy
and harmless. We can make the
return one of full employment,
but such a return requires wide-
spread planning and sacrifices at
the present time.

Volunteer Band Report
The Easter program of the
Volunteer Band was given by
Prof. Carpenter; the theme was
the "power of the resurrection."
Since Easter the programs will,
until the end of this school year,
be concerned with the events in
Jesus' life after the resurrection,
and up to the ascension.
The Lord I love went on ahead
To make a home for me. He
said He would come back again
and He, 0 gracious love, He
wrote to me!
And foolish I that could not
find the road alone. He told
me things that all earth's wise
men and its kings have never
guessed. Yet L foreknow if I but
read His word. And Oh, such
depths of love on every sheet!
My soul is trembling at His
feet.
What would He think of me if
when I saw Him, I should say,
"I was too busy ever}' day to
read what thou didst write me
I really hadn't time for Thee".

over the festival were the Queen

IDEALS OF PUBLICATION
This publication endeavors to foster the ideals!
for which the student body is ever striving;!;
namely, higher scholarship, cleaner sportsman-
ship, and finer comradeship. It endeavors to rep-,
resent the school in all its aspects and to print |
in an accurate and engaging way, everything oft
news interest concerning it.
(Retiring Editor)
(42-i3 Editor)
Your retiring editor hopes that you have
enjoyed your STAMPEDE and if you have, some
of his efforts at least have not been in vain. We,
the staff, realize that the papers are not what
they could be if we had better facilities in the
press for publishing them, but Milligan College is
lucky to have the present press equipment that
she does and we have enjoyed trying to please
you.
Next year Gelda Bernie will be your editor.
I suggest that those of you who are on the 42-43
staff to remember that cooperation is necessary
in organizing and publishing a college paper. Give
her your support and I am sure she will give you
an interesting paper.

Attention: Charlie Akard
Dear Students,
Your letters give me the information I like
to read, news that Milligan College is going ahead
in the face of all the difficulties that present
themselves whichever way we may turn. And that
is the proper way to proceed in these awful times.
If each one of us will take care of problems as
they present themselves for solution, and not at-
tempt to solve problems which have not appear-
ed and which may never appear, or problems
which are entirely out of a person's sphere of ac-
tivity and knowledge, I believe that we shall
reach a victory much more quickly. We must
study all phases of life, we must have open minds
and we must admit that the situation is not as
direful as some people picture it nor so brilliant
as others endeavor to make it appear.
Students in college today are many-times
fortunate, and those of you who complete your
under-graduate education this commence-
ment will have opportunities to serve yourselves
and others less fortunate than you are in a grand
manner. Of course, the military and naval ser-
vices will reach out their arm? of welcome to you
who are qualified. And you will respond as other
Milligan College men and women have answered
calls to service and duty. Before a call comes,
some of you may believe yourselves to be espec-
ially qualified for definite assignments. If such is
the case, send your application and a list of your
accomplishments to the proper agency and 3*ou
will be courteously and promptly answered. Above
all. maintain your equilibrium and you will not
be disappointed. I do not know whether I am
giving the maximum service to our government
that I am equipped to give, but I am soldier
enough to know that when a particular need ari-
ses for any ability I may have thegoverment will
place me in that area. An individual sees only a
part of the total war picture and he must sacrifice,
for the time being, at least, some of his prefer-
ences. If we all pull together, we shall achieve the
best end.
When we went through the process of regis-
tration last September, not one of us, I dare say,
visualized the attack on Pearl Harbor and the
immediate results of that dastardly attack. We
calmly took our cards around to the various fa-
culty members for their initials, stood in line for
the short conference with President Burns, de-
bated financial matters with Professor Hyder,
and finally (in many cases after several days) de-
posited our cards with Registrar Bowman. It was

COMMENTS
by J. K. hullY
In looking backward at the
events of the past year the care-
ful observer must be impressed
by the rapidity with which the
United States assumed her full
role of international account-
ability and responsibility. Pre-
Pearl Harbor days were filled
with isolationist vs intervention-
istic sentiment; bickeriDgs be-
tween employer and employee;
the conservatives became cau-
tionocrats; the New Dealer
bureaucrats and so on down the
line. In short, we as a nation
were wandering aimlessly in a
sea of wishful thinking and mis-
conception. The U. S. was a
powerful nation, perhaps the
most powerful of all nations, yet
few people understood that
greatness; or understanding,
failed to see the responsibilities
conm cted with strength.
The Pearl Harbor incident
seemed to unite us as a nation.
As a result of this epi>ode and
later experiences the D. S. began
to gird herself for an all out
effort. Our war activity has
taught us as much concerning
our role as a nation as it has
about warfare.
The early stages of our par-
ticipation in this war taught us
that to succeed as a nation we
must never try to live alone. In-
stead of isolationism we must
think of internationalism - an
interdependent world in which
all men and all nations have free
and equal access to raw materials
and markets.
This is the lesson found in the
present conflict. If we wish to
have a world worth living in, we
must heed this lesson.

ram leasers
1. Mr. Z. is the operator of a
grocery store. One day a man en-
ters the store and buys S2.50
worth of groceries; to pay for
them he hands Mr. Z a $20 bill -
Mr. Z. does not have the correct
change so he goes across the
street to the bank and gets the
S20 bill changed. He returns to
the store and puts $2.50 in the
cash register and gives the pur-
chaser $17.50 in change. After
the customer had gone the ban-
ker came over to the store and
informed Mr. Z. that the $20 bill
was counterfeit and that he
would have to give him $20 of
good money - - Mr. Z. doesso.
How much does Mr. Z. lose in
all?
2. A man buys a thermos bot-
tle which has a cork stopper for
$1.10. If the bottle costs $1.00
more than the cork stopper, how
much did the stopper cost?
3. Mr. X. enters a drug store
and buys a 5 cent candy bar for
which he gives the clerk a $1.00
bill — the clerk did not have the
correct change, but she told him
if he had a $5.00 bill she could
make the correct change.
How could she give him
$4.95 and not be able to give
him change from the $1.00 bill?
4. A hunter leaves his house and
walks 3 miles south, then 3 miles
west, and is still only 3 miles
from his home; there he kills a
bear. What color was the bear?
5. A boy walks up to the
counter and orders a 15 cent
sandwich, and while it is being
prepared, he notices a 50 cent
piece laying on the rash register
which had not been rung up. The
boy, unnoticed, picks it up and
uses it to pay for his sandwich - -
the clerk gives him back 35 cents
in change. How much did the
clerk lose in all.
6. If a hen-and-a-half lays an
egg-and-a-half in a day-and-a-
half , how many eggs under these
conditions will 101 hens lay in a
week; that is, if the hens do not
"lay-out" before the week is up.
(Answers on page 7)
{In answer to the -poem which appeared in the
last issue of Hoof Prints)
Two cars raced madly down the road,
Break -neck speeds and precious loads;
Came a cross-roads unexpected
Drivers suddenly much dejected;
No time to think, to plan, or act,
The cars would crash, a foregone fact.
Brakes grabbed, tires screeched, and passengers
yelled,
When the jallopies met, they almost jelled.
Hat5 and roats, sweaters, boxes and all
Through windows and doors to the ground did fall.
Yes, even some riders on the ground did plunk
With cuts, scratches, and bruises, they surely felt
punk.
Only one was so mangled he could not budge,
From his place on the highway he appeared like
hot fudge;
His gore ran freely, it splashed here and there,
His pressure points sagged, he was weak every-
where;
"I'm all agog, half dead," he muttered,
"Won't someone relieve my poor frame so be-
sputtered?"
But his friends all remembered that in a Stampede
Poor David his spleen 'gainst First Aid did im-
pede;
So none dared to touch David's body so battered,
Their faith in First Aid by his bright satire shat-
tered ;
They recalled his plea, "From First Aid release,"
And dear, sweet lady, "Let me die in peace."
So all stood around in a wild-eyed dilemma,
Debating whether Trotter should pass to Gehenna
Without benefit of some slight relaxation
From his torment of pain and poor respiration.
"Oh, what shall we do, "cried a maid apologetic,
"With our six-feet-plus of Trotter poetic."
At last poor David was heard to cry,
"Get a tourniquet, please, and carefully apply
To a place most securely my spouting to end;
Ah me, I am weak, My pet and my friend,
My pulse is so lethargic, please do me a turn,
And apply that First Aid you in college did learn.
"Get splints, adhesive, some tape and some cotton,
My sweet little pet, I surely feel rotten;
I'm gasping for breath, I know I shall die,
If my intelligent class-mates stand idly by,
With their knowledge from books so patiently
kenned,
Just because I once a diatribe penned."
So they all set to work Mons. Dave to repair
To postpone a "Hie jacet" o'er him to appear;
His blood soon ceased spattering, his pulse
pounded again,

by, and "Tonlo" Cure fought the Unaka Mountain
fire with proven effectiveness)
After much borrowing we elegantly dressed
in what might be called fire-fighting fragments.
"Lend-Lease" Cochrane requested that we get his
wardrobe back by Sunday morning as he had to
have something to wear to Sunday School. Most
of the boys were in the pink of condii ion having
just returned from a picnic at Mars Hill, however,
pink changed to red in short time.
We proceeded by bus, with great rapidity,
toward the mountain. There we were formally
entertained by the host, who served us a delicacy
well known in these parts, a la porkay et beanays
with bread. With this under our belts, we began
our mount to the fire-line with our implements
in hand.
And then came the smoke, our eyes watered
so much the boys in the back had to walk in a
stream of water. We approached the hot-spot. A
three foot space had to be cleared around the
mountain. With the glow of the fire in their eyes,
62 human fire extinguishers scrapped, scrambled,
fell, climbed, and squirted all along the fire-line.
"What a grind," muttered "firebug" Pierce flam-
ing at the mouth. As I passed some of the larger
flames an intensity of feeling urged me on. "Fire-
ball" Alexander carried the water and pumped it
from the nozzle to our guzzle. Gravely complain-
ed of water on the knee but I doubt if it went
that far. Greer, reclining with fire on all sides of
him, said the fire was under control. Ankeny
jumped six yards down the mountain side to a-
void a falling tree that didn't fall; he was jump-
ing around all night for some reason or other.
Most of the boys could not be recognized be-
cause of unfamiliar garbs. We had a ten minute
rest period. After two minutes some insignificant
smart guy told us the time was up, he was ver-
bally assaulted by all. Lane was suffering from a
natural "hot-foot".
When we extinguished the fire we slid down
the mountain and returned to school. At the din-
ing hall those who were able scrambled for
doughnuts; the most eaten by one person was
twelve. We then proceeded to the shower de-
partment, washed off the burnt forest, and went
to bed, minus "Rip Van Winkle" Davis.

He felt normal real quickly and out of his pain.

Of a course which preserved my soul, mind, and
body."

THE 1941-42 BOY'S "M" CLUB
The primary purpose of this organization is
io perpetuate the ideals upon which all Milligan |
athletics are based, namely: good sportsmanship, ,
the promotion of individual friendships, and the]
whole-hearted support of all worthy causes that;
may come to the attention of its members.
An outstanding event on the Milligan social
calendar is the annual Spring banquet sponsored;
by the"M" Club. This year the banquet, through j
the gracious cooperation ol Mrs. Burns, was held |
in the college dining hall. President of the "M"
Club. Raymond Cure, presided and Dr. W. K.
Rigell was the guest speaker.
After David Trotter, toastmaster, finished
"humorizing" the situation, the members of the
"M" Club and their guests attended a movie.
This outstanding organization is one that all
Milligan is justly pi oud of, and our sports pagp
is dedicated to those seniors who have earned
their golden "M".

Racquet Notes
The tennis team completed
their schedule May 5 losing to
the Emory and Henry netmen;
5-2. This rang down the curtain |
for the season, which though not
so successful as to the number of
wins, has been remarkable con-
sidering the fact that three of the
boys were very inexperienced.
The high light of the season
was the victory over Mars Hill
on April 25 at Mars Hill. The
entire meet was close all the way

season May 9, when they faced
the University of Tennessee team
out at Soldiers Home. The Buffs,
having lost only one game this
season, took the field in quest of
their second victory over their
''bowl minded'' opponents.
On the mound it was again
"Big Train'' Alexander hurling
for the Buffs with "'Bo" receiv-

Mitchell. The Buffs oppned the
first inning with four runs and
continued their ''power at the

lieved Slater in the fifth. By the
time O'Neil took over for Jenkins
in the seventh we had scored IS
runs, while Alexander, with per-
fect support, kept the U. T. bats
silent.
After the dust had cleared
away we found the following
facts to exist:
1. Alexander had won his sev-

their most successful season in

Alfonzo "Bo"
Brummett
Alfonzo Brummett, known as
"Bo," was born in Lenoir City,
Tennessee, June 14, 1918. He be-
gan school there but at the age
of eight moved to Erwin, Tenn-
essee. Here he finished ten years
of grade school (it took ten years
to do eight years work.) While
in grade school he was in several
school plays, and people thought
he would be another John Wilkes
Booth.
While in high school he had a
very good record (in athletics not
school work). He was Co-Captain
of the football team his junior
year and captain his senior year.
He lettered six years in baseball,
two of which he was still in grade
school; he played basketball for
four years; was on two champion-
ship teams ; was a member of the
Hi-YClub, E. Club, and other
school organizations. He was
president of his junior class His
luck stayed with him and he
graduated with ninety-six others
in the spring of '38.
He came to Milligan by the
grace of God and the influence of
Coach Steve Lacey. While at
Milligan he hasn't been active in
any organization except football
and baseball. He has lettered in
both sports all four years, and
was a member of the "M" Club
his first two years. ''Bo" has a
major in History and minors in
English and German (But don't
tell anyone about his German).
While at Milligan he has been
supervisor of the Janitor Depart-
ment.
Bo's ambition is to be a phy-
sical education instructor in a
good high school and try his best
to be a model man like Coach
Steve Lacey. But his Uncle Sam
thinks it best for him to join his
Army Air Corps and try to knock
down i few Japs and Germans
which he hopes to do, so now his
ambition is to be a good sol-
dier.
He advises us to spend half our
time attending to our own busi-
ness and the other half letting
the other fellow alone.
{A suitable picture of "Bo" was
unobtainable.)
Florene Pierce Jarrett
Mrs. Max Jarrett, the former
Florene Pierce, was born
Hunter, Tennessee, September
18, 1919. She moved to Eliza-
bethton at the young age of five
and her home has been there
since. Her school career began
in the Harold McCormick School
in Elizabethton when she was
seven, and she entered Junior
High School when in the sixth
grade.
Four years ago marked the
end of her high school life at
Elizabethton High and the begin-
ning of her college work at Mil-
ligan. She came to Milligan be-
cause she thought it was a good
school, had a beautiful campus,
and it was near her home.
Florene has been a day student
all four years, majoring in
English with minors in History
and Psychology, thus securing an
A. B. degree. She is a member of
the Home Ec Club, and has
numerous hobbi< s, including
keeping scrapbooks, writing
stories, collecting recipes, snap-
shots, poems, and quotations,
and taking long walks in the
country. Her favorite sports are
skating, bicycling and swimming.
Until the war is over, Florene
plans to teach school. With an

Wise all of his life, attending
both grade and high school there,
In high school he held various
offices, being President of h
senior class, valedictorian, and
editor of the high school annual
He came to Milligan under the
influence of an older brother, and
has continued the good work at
Milligan. While here he has se-
cured a major in Chemistry and
Biology with minors in several
subjects. Besides being a member
of the Milligan College Players,
Forum Group, Pre-Med Club
(President in 1942), an outstand-
ing reporter on the Stampede,
and Volunteer Band, he has been
laboratory instructor in Chemis-
try during his senior year, editor
of the '42 Buffalo, and President
of the Boys' Sunday School
Class. Lawrence also won a fel-
lowship in the study of Bacterio-
logy at V. P. I. this year but now
is enlisted in the United States
Naval Reserve. Maybe he will
get to resume his study of medi-
cine ana become a doctor some
day.
Photography is his most inter-

sports in football, basketball, and
tennis.

Letters to Lucerne'*
Will Be Presented
On Saturday Night, May 23,
the annual commencement play
will be presented. The play "Let-
ters to Lucerne" is a contempor-
ary play which opens late in Sep-
tember in the summer of 1939.
The scene is in a girls' school in
Lucerne, Switzerland. Here the
girls are living an idyllic life
apart from the hatreds of the
world. In their dormitory at
night it is their custom to read
aloud their letters from home.
When the war breaks out the
school-mistress hopes to keep the
school isolated from the terrible
things that are happening out-
side. But the letters carry the
bitterness in. The braggart let-
ters of the German girl and the
devastating letters of the Polish
girl put the srhcol in an uproar.
The play ends with a beautiful
concluding letter which calms
everything.
Miss Childs has chosen a very
talented cast for this play and
we feel sure you will enjoy this
production very much.
Nice Going, Juniors
We, the seniors of 1941-42,
wish to thank those juniors who
tried so hard to give us the ann-
ual banquet, and failed only be-
cause of the lack of cooperation
within their class.
To those of you who tried so
hard to get out of it and succeed-
ed, we salute you for your tactics
and only hope that the junior
class of 42-43 will remember you
in like manner.

all so peaceful. Of course, we
were all reading of Russian
successes against the Ger-
man invaders, and we
were wondering whether we
could defer Spraker, Showatter,
Stallard. Lane, Akard, Hays, G.
B., and others of our "old men"
long enough to finish a foothall
and basketball season. We never
gave a thought to the deferment
of a dean who thought that he
was forever off the shelf of ser-
vice in armed forces! Things hap-
pen so quickly.
And now commencement! My
heartiest congratulations to the
Class of 1942 upon successfully
completing prescribed and elec-
tive courses of study and upon
being the first class (as far as my
information goes into Milligan
College history) to greet the col-
lege vvith a gift during }rour fresh-
men year and to bid a student's
farewell with another gift. Please
return to the campus often to see
those who are extremely interes-
ted in you. Your generation of
students will pass from the col-
lege during the next three or four
years, but your faculty will be
here, some of us at least, for
many years to come.
And to you who become sopho-
mores, juniors, and seniors, I
recommend a summer of study
and manual labor of a kind that
will help you in your future stu-
dy. Your ambition on leaving the
campus should be to return to it
for future study. That ambition
may suffer change and severe
shocks during the unpredictable
future, but yourreturn next Sep-
tember will not come unless you
have that return as a goal.
I exceedingly regret that 1
could not work with all of you
during the whole college year
1941-42, but I rejoice in the priv-
ilege that I had of associating
with you regardless of the time.
My best wishes go with you. My
desire is that you inform some of
us about yourselves.
Cordially and sincerely,

of a gift to the college for the
class of 1942; a large picture of
President Emeritus and tors,
Derthick.
This class as freshmen gave
the school the "love bench"
which now sets under the trees in
front of Hardin Hall and faces
Buffalo Mountain. Mathes said,
'Our gift this year to the college
is a token of our love for Dr. and
Mrs. Derthick, who served Mil-
ligan College faithfully for 23
years."
These were accepted on the
part of the college by Mr. Crouch,
Chairman of the Board of Trus-
tees, who in a brief summary of
the college said that Milligan
College existed today because of
the great sacrifices and hard la-
bor of President and Mrs. Der-
thick.

The program began with a
humorous skit entitled "Three of

tion among Hitler (Don Pierce),

and Tojo (Burky Hurt). The dic-
tators were accompanied by two
guards, Olin Ripley and Walter
Faust.
Next came the representatives
of various nations with their con-
tributions to the culture of Amer-
ica, placing them in the Melting
Pot. Each representative was ac-
companioned by music appro-
priate to the nation for which
was being represented; after
each a dance was performed by
the folk dancing class.
Then Uncle Sam (Earl Peters)
extended a greeting to the King
and Queen, who entered preceded
by their 16 attendants. After
seating themselves on their
throne, the King and Queen were
crowned by the retiring Queen,
Miss Violet May, and then were
entertained by their attendants
as they danced around the May

New Faculty Members CONVOCATION
The students and faculty of Milligan
College feel that we have been fortu-
nate in the addition of several new
faculty members who will be of great
value to everyone.
In the department of Psychology
Dr. Floyd S. Marsh replaced Dr. R. J.
Bennett. Dr. Marsh received from the
Cincinnati Bible Seminary the follow-
ing degrees: A. B., A. M., and B. D.
Then he received hi* A. M. degree
from Butler University and later at-
tended Indiana University, and the
University of Cincinnati. Dr. Marsh
has satisfied all requirements for a
Ph. D. except the completion of his
dissertation.

President Burns chose as his
subject "1 will lift up mine eyes unto
the hillsfrom whence comethmy help."
In the past people have placed their
gods on mountains because the lofti-
ness of the mountain suggests the
majesty of God. That which is good
is hard to obtain; it must be reached
by climbing upward.

the lives of those who adhere to the

IDEALS OF PUBLICATION
This publication endeavors to foster the ideals
for which the student body is ever striving;
namely, higher scholarship, cleaner sportsman-
ship, and finer comradeship. It endeavors to rep-
resent the school in all its aspects and to print,
in an accurate and engaging way, everything of
news interest concerning it.
®ur JUma plater
In Tennessee's fair eastern mountains,
Reared against the sky,
Proudly stands our Alma Mater
As the years go by.
Forward ever be our watchword,
Conquer and prevail!
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater,
Milligan, all hail!
Cherished by her sons and daughters,
Memories sweet shall throng
Round our hearts, 0 Alma Mater,
As we sing this song.
Forward ever be our watchword,
Conquer and prevail!
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater,
Milligan, all hail!
SIBILITY
Sooner or later in the life of every person there comes
a time when responsibility must be faced. When one is
able to bear without obligation his full burden he may
then feel truly that he has become an adult. It is very
often during the average college age that the realization
of this necessity for starting on ones own feet first comes,
and the ability with which one can face the smaller re-
sponsibilities of college life. College life is a fairly good
evidence of how well he will fare when he comes in con-
tact with more significant things.
There are personal responsibilities, financial respon-
sibilities, social responsibilities — decisions which must be
made at every turn in the road, but the very special
thing that I wish to say is this:
That the newly organized student council will be one
of the finest things at Milligan College for the develop-
ment of a sense of responsibility toward the rules and re-
gulations of the college. In agreeing to and accepting the
student council each of its members assumes a responsi-
bility for his own behavior, and for the behavior of the
other members of the group. I believe that if this scheme
were to develop gradually into a form of student govern-
ment it would prove a most successful and satisfactory
thing. Whether or not there is a further development,
however, I want to speak for the Stampede and wish the
Student Council all success.
Student Government Initiated
For the first time in several years the girls of the
College are attempting student government. Friday eve-
ning September 4, the Senior girls held their initial meet-
ing and certain plans and ideals were agreed upon. An
open house discussion was carried on in which tentative
plans were made for the solving of certain problems which
have arisen in the past. It was agreed that the entire
Senior Class act as a student council.
Officers of this council were elected as follows: Presi-
dent, Kitty Allen; Vice President, Gelda Bernie; Secret-
ary, Estalla Mae Bayless.
The Junior Class was allowed three representatives
which were nominated by the council and elected by the
Junior Class. Those elected were: Mabel Chandler, Anna
M. Guinn and Charlotte Goss.
Two sophomores— Sara Stere and Mary L. Ingle-
represent that class.
It was decided no freshmen representative would be
elected the first semester. Later in the year one will be
elected for that class.
"Shakespeare," says Lin Yutang, "was like Nature
herself, and that is the greatest compliment we can pay
to a writer or thinker. He merely lived, observed life, and
went away.
Living today, and perhaps relatively unknown at
the moment, is a man, whose force and genius will make
his name remembered and honored until the end of time.

Physical Education Program
Under the supervision of Dean
Lacey the year of 1942 finds the
young men of Milligan College serious-
ly preparing themselves physically to
meet any crisis that might call them
out of college into the armed forces of
our country.
G. B. Pierce outstanding athlete has
charge of all boys who are interested
in basketball. Robert Addenbrook will
be in charge of swimming, he will in-
struct in both senior and red cross in-
structor's life saving courses. Duane
Cross will be in charge of all bowling
classes.
Every boy will be required to enroll
in one of these classes and will meet
them four days a week. Each day at
4:30 exercises will be given in the ath-
lethic building for the entire group be-
fore they go to their chosen classes.
There's no harm in being cheerful
and saying something that will make
people smile.
"I would like to seethe judge, please."
"Sorry, sir, but he is at dinner."
"But this is important."
"Can't be helped, sir. His Honor is at

under way as soon as possible. Verlin
Gilliam read the constitution to the
club. The enforcement of missing meet-
ings was explained to the members.
The club unanimously agreed that
some activity by the organization
should be under way to make the new
men on the campus conscious of their
obligations. Thursday night Sept. 10
after the pep-meeting, was suggested
by Harry Pardue and was carried by
all members present.

A BUFFALO
HE(A)RD
Ole Buffalo must surely be happy
now 'cause lots of you guys and gals
are back for him to spy on - - and
has he been spying!
What fun he's had noticing all the
pounds which some have put on - and
some have even lost - to them we say,
"Congrats". How'd you do it, Lenore.
Leave it to Slew - he'll do it every
time. Now he's suggested that Frank
Spraker quit his job and come back to
school.
For three years Trotter has been
worrying because he always got such
a late start - but from the way it looks
this year - history is not going to re-
peat itself.
At first we all thought that Topsy
had grown up and had gone to the
hairdressers for a bleach and perman-
ent, but Mary Lee Ingle solved the
mystery for us- the new purp is "But-
tercup".
Carrico and Pardue have a new bus-
iness venture all lined up for this year-
selling Apple Blossom Face Cream.
Their most surprised customer so far
has been Coach Webb.
The newest war term has been coin-
ed by none other than our own Prof.
Graybeal. It is "a smoke-out". Rather
original, don't you think?
Says Horace Pettit - "I'm so sun-
burned my ribs are warped".
Farmer G. B. Pierce reports that
his cabbages are doing fine in spite of
the rainy season. Somebody said that
you could hardly get into Mosheim be-
cause G. B. 's corn was so high.
Barber Gravely has put on a tie and
raised the price of his haircuts a nickel.
If he cuts off a nickel's worth more
hair than he did last year, some of the

SPEEKING OF DAMSELS
Some will tell you about the moonlight
Gleaming bright in your hair
But my friend I can't, for
I only see the dandruff there, — ■
And the funny looking spots,
Where the dye was but ain't,
Some would rave about your
Pearly white teeth, shining
Through cupid bow lips of red
But I often wonder if you
Take them out at night for bed.
Some would stress the beauty
Of your lovely perfumed dress
The product of London or Paree??
But I have to confess, that it
Looks like heck to me ! ! !
Some would surely proclaim that
The sky itself was tinted
To match your eyes of blue
Which sparkle as bright as stars,
But you know and I know and I know
There's thousands of the same hue
Maybe millions, if you count Mars.
Some are bound to vow
Absolute devotion, et al;
And do this and that at your beck,
But, all I can say, "Buffalo Gal"
Is that like Popeye, I loves ya,
Like Heck ! !

BUFFALO ANALYSIS
What is a Buffalo made of?
Here's what a Buffalo's made of.
Onions on hot dogs, vanilla in cokes
Hilarious whooping at Tipton's jokes
Phone conversations all nite and all day
Dripping with "lousy", "say kid" and "okay".
Spine on sofa, feet on the table
Frothing debates on the merits of Grable
Moods of hilarity, followed by gloom
Pennants and posters all over his room
Secret ambitions: to do and to dare
Indifference to cover up the good that's there
That's what a Buffalo's made of!
What is a Buffalette made of?
Here's what a Buffalette's made of.
Movie star hair do, vilest lipsticks
Precocious connivings, swing music, hot licks
Ball games, grade cards, and library dues
Loud cries of horror at clean saddle shoes
Allowances that met with incredible speed
For recordings and anything else *he won't need
Habitual "hogging" of local verandas
Acres of bracelets like Carmen Miranda's
Secret ambition and a home of her own
Unconcern like a cloak on her thrown.
That's what a Buffalette is made of!

Virginia Burkett
Virginia Burkett was born June 21,
1923, in Johnson City, Tennessee.
They say that Southerners always re-
turn to the scene of their birth. I don't
know whether that applies here or not.
Anyway she has lived in almost every
town in the south since then, and now
here she is back again looks sus-
picious!
(Continued on next column)
I really don't know where Virginia
started to school, but anyway she
graduated from high school at Long
Beach, Mississippi. At present her fam-
ily lives in Roanoke, Virginia, in case
you wondered. Virginia says she never
did anything or was anything while in
high school sounds eventful! I
did find out that she was a cheerleader,
a member of Girl Reserves, and soci-
ety editor of the school paper.
Her first year of college was spent at
King in Bristol. The second year she
graduated from a girls' junior college,
Gulf Park, Mississippi. Last year we
had the privilege of becoming her
classmates, and looks like she's settled
down for one, she's back again.
Virginia's major is English. She has
been a member of the International
Relations club, Home Economics club,

Juanita Johnston
In case some of the freshmen have
not had the distinct honor of meeting
our seniors, we shall take this method
of enlightening them upon the facts
about some of our elite.
Juanita Johnston, better known to
most of us as Nita, is the good-looking,
chubby blonde you see busying herself
in Mrs. Bowman's office. Nita says she
was sort uf born on January 6, 1922 in
Jacksonville, Florida. After two years
her family moved to Winter Park, and
Nita went along too.
Like most other children, Nita start-
ed to school. After twelve years, which
says were uneventful, but I am still
wondering about that one, knowing
Nita, she graduated from high school
unmolested. While in high school she
belonged to Girls Hi Y club, and the
Dramatic club. She was a cheerleader
for two years, and was a sports writer
for the school paper.
Nita seemed to follow her family's
footsteps - - having had a brother and
sister at Milligan before her. She enter-
ed Milligan as a freshman in the fall
of '39. Since then she has been interest-
ed in almost all phases of school life.
She says her greatest interest is cam-
pusology, and that she has belonged to
the Home Economics club for three
years, and served as Vice-president
during her junior year. She was secre-
tary of the junior class last year. She
is active in all sports, a good swimmer
and tennis player, especially. Last
year she was captain of Intramural
tennis. The year before she won two
girls' tennis tournaments. Last year
she was girls' ping-pong champion. She
also plays basketball, volleyball, and

though hard to maintain in the chaotic
conditions of todays world, is necess-

The second attitude is the up-

the ideal. We must see past the fraud,
the plunder and the murder of today
to the peace of tomorrow.
In the third place students of
todays colleges must have a broad

Violet May and Lyle DeWitt To Be
Married November 14
Miss Violet Hope May, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R.
D. May of Elizabethton, had her engagement and
approaching marriage to Lyle Britton DeWitt of Knox-
ville announced Sunday October 11, 1942. The wed-
ding is to be solemnized at Hopwood Memorial Church,
Milligan. Miss May, a graduate of Milligan College, was
the 19-40 Queen of Homecoming at Milligan and Queen
of May Day Eestival in 1941. Mr. DeWitt, also a grad-
uate of Milligan, is employed with the Aluminum Com-
pany of America at Alcoa.
While a student at Milligan, Miss May took active part
in many campus activities and served as president of
several student organizations. In 1940 she was elected by
popular vote as queen of the Homecoming and crowned
with fitting ceremonies at the Roosevelt Stadium here. In
1941, she reigned as queen of the May Day Festival on
the Milligan College Campus. Upon graduation,. Miss
May accepted the position of secretary to the president
of Milligan College, where she is still employed.
Mr. DeWitt, a Greene countain, and a graduate of the
Greeneville High School was graduated by Milligan Col-
lege in 1940 with the Bachelor of Science degee. He was
an outstanding student and took active part in all phases
of campus life. He holds a position with the Aluminum
Company of America at Alcoa.
THE OLD SCHOOL SPIRIT
There is something more to "I'm a Buffalo Born" than
words and tune; something that lies deeper and means
more — the school spirit. The words are simple, tune
is easy to cam-, the mood is hilarious but underneath
there is a catch in the throat.
I asked a senior girl what school spirit meant to her
and she answered, "I can't define it- but its that cer-
tain feeling you get: it makes you want to do or die for
your Alma Mater". To do or die — that says a lot. It
points to something greater than the future. Should we
call it patriotism? If one wants "'to do or die" in a small-
er group, in the future will not want to do or die for his
country? School spirit promotes citizenship. There can be
no question of that.
"School spirit'', explained a sophomore, "is that which
makes you love your school so much that you forget the
liver and food you don't like and remember only the
beautiful things. It gives you pep and makes you want to
yell your head off against anyone who doesn't agree it's
the swellest place in the world". In a world where pessi-
mism is too prevalent it is good to hear a person say
"forget the bad and remember only the good". Whatever
form it comes in optimism is acceptable and when an op-
timist has that which makes him a good citizen he is in-
deed to be blessed.
To some schools, spirit is only that spirit which is
shown at pep meetings — "What makes you jump up and
down and holler" as one girl put it. To me it is something
deeper. It constitutes a memory that travels down pat-
terned roads — along quiet Buffalo Creek, under arbors,
through sequestered halls, in dormatories — that, too, is
part of the school spirit.
So we see in "Tennessee's fair eastern mountains" more
than a college, more than beauty — we see something in-
definable but something that makes us lift our hearts and
voices as we sing, "Forward ever be our watchword, con-
quer and prevail".

NOT WHAT YOU THINK
The sofa sagged in the center,
The shades were pulled just so;
The family had retired,
The parlor lights burned low.
There came a sound from the sofa
As the clock was striking two,
And the student slammed his textbook
With a thankful, "Well, I'm through."

Seek Revenge for Emory
Tie
The Milligan Buffaloes still ram-
pant, after a 7-6 victory over Centre
College, will be gunning for an unde-
feated season when they meet the
Emory and Henry's Wa^ps Saturday
night. This game is expected to be one
of the best pigskin contests in this
section. Earlier in the year the two
elevens fought to a 6-6 tie neither gain-
ing an advantage.
The Milligan cheering section, after
last week's victory, is priming its vocal
chords for added encouragement.
Enough said. See you at the game ! ! !
First Game Was 6-6 Tie
On September 19, Coach Bernie
Webb and his Buffalo squad invaded
Bristol to tangle with an experienced
Emory and Henry eleven in the season
opener. Milligan fielded a team com-
posed of few veterans to battle the
more experienced Wasps.
The game opened with both teams
feeling the other out. About midway
of the first quarter "Jeep'' Quillen took
the ball in his own end zone and zig-
zagged up the sidelines to a touchdown,
only to be called back to the Milligan
35 yard line at which point the officals
ruled he stepped out of bounds. The
teams changed goals and the Buffs
again started a goahvard march. This
time the Buffs thundered to the Emory
35. At this point Quillen faded to his
right and arched a beautiful pass to
Walt Maupin in the end zone for a
touchdown. Maupin's try for extra
point was blocked by the Wasps.
In this same quarterone of Quillen's
passes intercepted Graybeal, the
Emory and Henry center, and he ran
55 yards to a touchdown. The attempt
for the extra point was blocked by a
host of Milligan linesmen.
Maryville Bows To
Rampaging Buffs
Saturday evening October 11, the
Milligan College Buffaloes met and de-
feated the Maryville Scotties in a
hard fought grid battle at Maryville
Stadium.
In the first quarter J. Abbott re-
ceived a pass on the ten yard line and
ran for a touchdown. Milligan scored
again when "Jeep" Quillen, Gate City
Ace, intercepted a pass on the forty
yard line and ran for the second touch-
down.
Miller made the third touchdown in
the last quarter when he caught a
pass thrown by Quillen.
Excellent blocking was done and
Herman "Red" Lane was the out-
standing man in the line.
High Point Beaten
On Friday, September 25 the Buffa-
lo squad went to High Point, N. C. to
engage a strong High Point eleven.
High Point fielded a large and exper-
ienced team which gave a tough battle
for the Buffs. However, in the second
quarter Milligan scored on a nicely ex-
ecuted pass play from Quillen to Mill-
er. Miller raced the remaining 30 yards
to pay dirt. This proved to be the only
score of the game. From this point on
Milligan fought a fierce battle to de-
fend their 6 point lead.

The Buffalo Pleven met and routed
a plucky Roanoake College team in
the first home game of the season on
Oct. 2 at Roosevelt Stadium. Milligans
lone marker came in the third quarter
on a pass from Osborne to Miller. The
play of the Buffalo line was outstand-
ing as it turned several Roanoke
threats.
Milligan Eleven Scores
Upset
Team Glory Divided
On October 17, the Buffalos met
the '"Praying Colonels" of Centre Col-
lege at Danville, Ky. Milligan started
the game, out-weighed several pounds
to the man.
After an exchange of punts at the
start of the game, Captain Haddock
of Centre fumbled and Maupin of
Milligan recovered on the Centre 14.
Four plays later "Jeep" Quillen went
over from the one foot line for a touch
down. Quillen then added the exrta
point from placement.
Centre's touchdown came after
Teater of Centre recovered a fumble
on the Milligan 28 yard line. Three
plays later Haddock passed to Teater
for a touchdown. Haddock's place-
ment was blocked by a host of Buffalo
linesmen.
Neither team was able to make
any other serious scoring threats al-
though several Centre marches fell
short when the Buff secondary batted
Haddock's passes down.
Miss Victory Elected
Pretty Charlotte Goss has been e-
lected by the Milligan College Buffalos
to represent Miss Victory at the
Milligan-Emory grid feud which will
be resumed at Municipal Stadium in
Bristol Oct. 24. Miss Goss is a Junior
from Elizabethton, Tennessee, and is
outstanding in campus activities.
Each class elected two attendants
for the occasion. They are: Virginia
Burkett, Juanita Johnson, Emerita
Lopez, Millie Kicklighter, Lorine
Humphreys, Jane Butler, Katy John-
son, and Marie Kilgore.
At the half, Miss Victory will pre-
sent a wreath of flowers to Mrs.
Robert Davis, mother of Lieutenant
Robert Lee Davis who was a former
Milligan student. Lieutenant Davis
was reported missing in the Battle of
the Pacific, July 14, 1942.

HAPPY DAY
Tis midnight in exam week
All the lamps are burning bright
I have never seen such cramming
As goes on here tonight.
What does Prof, want in Comparative?
What will Holly ask us to say?
How [ wished that I had studied
And not waited till
All those dates won't stay with me
And frankly I cannot tell
Whether Long is kin to Cubberly
Or just likes him awfully well.
And when it comes to French
Pretty hard, n'est ce pas?
Prof. Lodter says, "It's a cinch."
I say it aint and never was.
Well, next nine weeks I'll study more
And read, and write and toil
But well 1 know before exams
I'll burn the midnight oil.
PUNK JUNK
Why is it? Ever}' time I try to sleep
Some bird decides to stomp his feet?
And— then
Perhaps he plays his drum
If I decide to study some
Ah— men
Why is it? When in chapel I do sing
Someone yells, "Stop mumbling"?
And— when
I ever venture on a date
They tell me I have stayed too late
7:10
Why is it? When to the library I do go
There is always some so and so
To— grin
And quote aloud as if to say
I learned to read just yesterday
Has-been
Why is it? When our team goes to meet
Centre and knocks them off their feet
To-win
We can't go solid to one game
And cheer our team to further fame
We-kin!

"Ripe Tripe"
(To the sad reader of this column)
My friend, truly good verse shodd not only contiin
"rare rythum" and ''bare oomph" but also a compact de-
ficiency. This is achieved by shearing off whiskered words,
by making every blunder carry its full burden both of
humor and of hash, and by blendinp with imagination
and emotional allusion and connotation, the utmost in
falsehoods and tripe. The decent poet, like me, abhors
"fuzziness". Don't be fuzzy in your writing. Use only
elegent phrases such as "crumby guy", "freckled bird",
"hog jaw", "droopy stoop", "buggy lug" and "putrid
kid". The elegance of these phrases can be clearly seen,
can't they? Hense, there is no equal discipline for a verse
thug or worse. To blow, his statements must be so! Do
you pocess these abnormal qualities? If you do sit down
in your bug-house and write a pome. Need I say more?

DO YOU WORRY ?
1/
Dear Reader: You only have two things in life to worry
about, whether you are rich or whether you are poor. If
you are rich you don't worry. If you are poor you have
two things to worry about, whether you work or don't
work. If you do work you don't worry. If you don't work
you have two things to worry about, whether you eat or
don't eat. If you eat you don't worry. If you don't eat
you have two things to worry about, whether you live or
die. If you live you don't worry. If you die you have two
things to worry about, whether you go to Heaven or not.
If you go to Heaven you have nothing to worry about. If
you don't go you still have nothing to worry about, be-
cause you will be too busy shaking hands with your
friends to worry.

As one of the outstanding social e-
vents of the year, the boys gave the
girls and the fatuity a Christmas party
at Pardee Hall, Dec. 4. Transportation
was furnished by Nell Sleigh and thats
no kiddcn ! Santa Clause, Croften Bays,
welcomed the visitors to Pardee Hall
which was decorated in green with
Christmas Trees to add to the Yule
Tide Spirit.
The program, a second in the series
of Zippo programs originated by Jack
Ankeny and David Trotter was very
entertaining, and the originality of the
the party was outsanding. "Red and
Mo" the comedy team, the boys
"Home-made Trio", the Zippo Quar-
tet, the Letter to Santa all tied to-
gether with the humor and satire of
the Zippo Parade lo say the least, add-
ed zip and spice to the program. Mus-
ical interludes of Jingle Bells and
Santa Clause is Coming to Town also

It is a costume play dealing with Eng-
land in Napoleon's time and kindly
satirizes the customs of the period.
Miss Carrie Lee Hensley played the

faloes defeated Emory and Henry 19
to 13 to clos" the season as one of the
nations undef 'ated football elevens.
They avenged an earlier 6 - 6 tie wilh
the Wasps.
The Buffs mixed a dangerous aerial
attack with their ground offensive to
rack up a 19-0 lead before Emory ral-
lied for a pair of touchdowns in ihc
final period.
Milligan's first scoring threat was
launched early Big Kd Thomas ripped
the Emory line to shreds as the ball
was moved toward pay dirt. But at
this point a fumble cost the Buffs the
ball. Emory punted out to the Emory
23 and on the second play "Jeep"
Quillen hurled a pass to Maupin in the
end zone, to send the Buffs into the
lead. The attempt for extra point was
blocked.
The second Buff score came in the
second quarter. The Buffaloes launch-
a 97 yard drive, which was highlighted
by a 43 yard run by "Pee- Wee"
Osborne. Osborne then crashed over
from the two and Quillen added the.
extra point for a 13-0 lead at half time.
Quillen intercepted a pass midway
of the third period to set the stage for
the final Buff toudhdown. Tipton went
went 22 yards around end on a reverse
to make the score 19 to 0. Carrier's at-
tempt for extra point was blocked.
Emory launched a drive early in the
fourth quarter. Goode crashed tackle
for the score and Hagy added the ex-
tra point.

This week our youthful football
coach, Bernie Webb, left for Nashville,
Tennessee to enter the U. S. Navy to
prepare himself as a Chief Petty Officer
in the Physical Education Program of
that service.
Coach Webb has been connected
wish Milligan College athletics since
his graduation In the fall of 1941 the
football coaching duties fell upon his
shoulders, due to the illness of Coach
Lacey, and he responded by bringing
the through to a successful season. To
further prove his ability he guided the
1942 team through an unbeaten season.
Coach Webb has meant much to
.Milligan athletics and we regret to see
him go. But we are sure that he will
carry on in his true Milligan spirit.
On November 11 Herman Lane, a
junior, left Milligan to join the parade
of uniforms. Herman, being in the
Army Air Corps Reserve, decided that
he wanted into the scrap now, so he
applied for active service and was ac-
cepted
Herman was outstanding in Milligan
athletics, lettering in football, basket-
ball, and baseball. And he was also
outstanding in the classroom. He was
selected to be listed in the Who's Who
Among Students in American Colleges
and Universities for the year 1942-43.

closed, we now turn to the King of
Winter sports for indoor entertain-
ment.
Coach Steve Lacey, who has taken
over the coaching chores since "Doc"
Eyler's departure, was greeted on
November 1 by twenty-five boys.
Coach Lacey has been putting these
boys through the paces daily and
promises to present a scrapping quin-
tet. Only three boys. Captain Pierce,
Miller, and Matherly, reported to
Coach Lacey from last year's squad of
twelve. Graduation and the call to
colors has taken such veteran hard-
wood performers as Akard, Cure,
Hays, Lane, Garner, and others. New
men who are counted on to fill their
shoes are: Bill Arnett, all-state for-
ward from Happy Valley, Van Hart-
sook, big center from Lenior City,
"Dude" Williams, slender forward
from Hampton, W. Heaton, another
big center from Cloudland, Walker, a
transfer from Teachers, Bill Lily, big
guard from Gate City, and Gilmer
and Ford taking their first fling at
the game.
In practice, on one team Coach
Lacey has been running Pierce and

Jesus said, "Blessed are the peace
mjikcrs for Ihey shall be called the
sons of God."
Jesus was referred to as the Prince
of Peace. This definitely makes it ihe
choice of the people to plan for peace,
to pray for peace, and to prepare for
peace. This planning must be done
oven while the war goes on.
Many wars have been won, but bil-
lowing them, the peace has been lost.
This w is largely true about the. war of
IS 12. It was avowedly fought to se-
cure freedom of the seas for this coun-
try When the peace treaty wasdrawn
up. not one word was said about the
freedom of the seas, which to this day
has not been achieved.
In our so-called Civil War there
was two avowed objective^ so far as
the Union forces were concerned; first,
the perpetuation of the L'nion, and
second the freeing of the slaves. The
Union forces won a military victory,
but who supposes that this victory
contributed lo any real union between
the North and South. Only recently
have we established in spite of the
Civil War, some satisfying degree of
union. It is true that the Civil War
freed the slaves by proclamation, but
who would say that the black man is
as free as the white man?
The so-called first World War was
fought for two avowed objectives.
First, it was a war to end all wars,
and second, it was a war to make the
world safe for democracy. The allied
forces won a military decision, but in
the treaty that was drawn up, peace
was not made secure, as the present
war proves. Nor was democracy ad-
vanced through the world; rather
dictatorship has been the universal
pattern
How shall peace be permanently
achieved at the end of the present con-
flit t? Many pioposalsart being made

In Appreciation
From the Milligan College boys
To Prof. J. Fred Holly
Dear Prof,
We just wanted to let you know that
we appreciate what you have done and
are doing for us here at Milligan. Since
the war broke out we have all been
pretty much up in the air, not knowing
what was the best thing for i.s to do,
whether to try to stay in school, or to
go on into the army immediately. It
was chiefly to your unstinting efforts
in securing us the army, navy, marine,
and air corp programs that we were
able to remain in school and thus pre-
pare ourselves for positions of greater
responsibility and service, while at the
same time going ahead with our edu-
cation which may mean so much to us
in the future when there is no war. We
thought that everyone who reads this
paper should know as we do just what
you have done and are doing. For this
reason we make this an open letter.
Day after day it has been your mat-
ter of fact voice that has warned and
reasoned with us to keep us at the task.
With no reward for yourself, and little
recognition of the responsibility you
have assumed, you have worked with-
out stint that we may better prepare
ourselves to serve. You have shown
us that now is no time to loaf on the
job or to say; "What's the use", and
to sit around just because the future
is uncertain. You have always had
time to discuss individually, all our
small and and often petty personal
problems and worries. You are right
when you say that now is the time to
work harder than ever before because
now the job is bigger than ever before.

FACTS
ABOUT
NAVY V-S at
MILLIGAN
The Navy's V-l Plan under which Fresh-
men and Sophomores from 17 through
19 years of age can continue their
courses and prepare to become officers
in the Naval Reserve has been ac-
cepted by our school. Hundreds of
colleges and universities are backing
the Navy's V-l program, and thou-
sands of students in other schools have
already enlisted under this plan.
Only 80,000 men will be accepted
annually for this training, but the
Navy wants these men to be fully
acquainted with all V-l details before
enlistment. Many questions have been
asked. In this column we will answer
those most frequently asked and in
addition carry informative articles
covering all phases of V-l activities.
Some questions asked are:
Q. I am a sophomore and will be 20 years
old next month. Can I enlist in V-l?
A. Yes. If you have not yet reached
20 and you are otherwise qualified,
you're eligible.
* & ii
Q. When the war ends, do I stay in the
Service?
A. Under V-l, you enlist in the' Naval
Reserve. As an enlisted man or as an
officer, you may be released from
active duty as soon as possible after
the war is over.
Q. Will the Navy pay my tuition and other
expenses while I am still in college under
the V-l plan?
A. No. Navy pay does not start until
you are assigned to active duty.
■it -tr ir
Q. What is the citizenship requirement tor
acceptance for V-l?
A. Applicants for V-l must have been
citizens for at least 10 years before the
date cf application.
(Continued from preceding column)
Now is the time to realize the import-
ance of a college; edncation. Todays
training; in the little things will be to-
morrows preparation for the big things.
We're putting our backs to the wheel,
Prof, and asking you to keep behind
us, and hoping that we'll never let you
down.
Thanks

THE STAMPEDE
I,
The November winds have b'own
the leaves off the trees - which only
dives ole Buffalo a better chance to
keep his eye on the doin's of the gang
here on the hill.
Everybody, including G. B. Pierce,
naturally, was more than pleased to
welcome Peggy Gray back, even if it
were for a very short visit. We were
all glad lo see you, Peg. Here's hoping
your visits will be more frequent in
the future.
Can't help wondering which thing
will have a greater effect on Milligan
life -- the play about all the old maids
or all the weddings taking place.
It was very evident the other night
that Gilly had a date — was his face
red!
President Burns recently congrat-
ulated Gelda on her agility — no
doubt he was referring to her quick
exit the night of the play! It's a shame
the whole house couldn't have been in
on the fun.
Rumor has it that Pie Garner is
soon to visit us— or should we say us
— could be a certain blonde is his
main motive.
No doubt Horace Pettit has had
more bad breaks this year than any-
body deserves. We hear that he is im-
proving, however, and we'll all be glad
to have him back with us again.
Pardue and Carico really have some
system, right, Mary?
Most popular girl at conference the
other night was Miss Jones, what's
your recipe?
For some reason or another, we
have a feeling that Graybeal had a
birthday in the not too distant past.
Her roommates tell us that she arose
on that eventful morning and shouted,
"Today I am a man!"
Prof. Lodter's first period French
class could tell you he always has to
be there on time.
For information concerning the
location of Turkey Town ask any of
the boys who were initiated into the
P. M. Club recently.
And by the way. what was the score
of the last ball game Coeburn played?
Don't move, Buckley, somebody's
got you covered. '"'I'll tell on you".
These boys whose girls are not Mil-
ligan coeds— ex. Peterson and Hagy.
And where was Peterson lust week-end?
And then there are people like
Malaoh Williams who can go home for
week-ends to big turkey dinners. But
Maloah doesn't forget her friends,
thank goodness.
We were all glad to see George Bow-
man on the campus the other night.
He gives the information that he'll
take a long trip in December.
Juanita Gravely is beginning to out-
shine her big brother in wit. But then
she's one of the smarter sex!
The most popular saying of the
week comes from Frances Blevins,
"Tell Miss Slay the fuse on third floor
is blown"
"Sis" has decided she likes head-
waiters Maybe she's going to give up
nursing.
Professor Joe Starnes has his spec-
ial course very definitely classified and
is now accepting applications for en-
rollment. The requirements are easy
— just so you are a Freshman girl. For
further information, see Joe.
We think Wanda is doing 0. K.
You're lucky, G. B.
For complete information about the
hike to the "icecream factory", see
Anne Adams. She is still limping.
The cold weather doesn't seem to
bother Carrie Lee and Vernon. They
have something to keep them warm.
Have you noticed how the Fresh-
men boys study this year? Especially
right after dinner— or so the girls say.
Overheard Frank Cooley singing
"Carry Me Back to Old Virginia" and
Katy saying, "I want to go, too".
It is rumored that "Profit Moore is
dissatisfied with his sales director,
"Seabee" Brooks.
Morris Daniels seems to have hit his
stride in conference at last. Nice going
Morris stay in there and fight 'em!
Burkic was in high spirits when he
returned from his visit with "Judy".
Wonder why?
The old maids have just received a
new shipment of yarn to allow them
to continue their knitting through the
winter.
Merry Christmas!

"COOLER"
They were single and went walking
And her heart did skip a beat
As she stumbled on the sidewalk
And he murmered "Careful Sweet".
Now the wedding bells have rung
Ane they walk the same ole' street.
She stumbles on the sidewalk
And he yells "Pick up your feet."
"SKIBO SAYS"
The question of last week was, "What
has 'I homas done?"
Chief musical hit of theiniation was
Don Lyle's operetta "COCSIE COO".
The boys collected money with which
to buy an ice bag!
After ordering their class rings, the
Senior theme song is, "I'm Dreaming
of a Slight Christinas". Second choice
is, "Praise the Lord I Can't Pay My
Tuition".
Tubby Gilliam has been nominated
leader of the Commandos. If he doesn't
get to fat.
Some of the Buffalo's are still inter-
ested in football. At least they were
seen practicing the Minnesota Shift
with much gusto.
Doris, Brokaw may get hungry, but
you dont have to feed him a line along
with his mush.
Milligan's "Nit Wits" manage to get
to the basketball games but they still
murmur, "Knitone, pearl two".
If all the girls that don't neck were
put into one room, what would we do
with her?
"PARDEE'S PARTY"
Listen my friend, you should lend
Us all of your attention
We've given you see, a huge pardee
Of rare and honorable mention.
Just a word, perhaps you've heard
It rumored here and there
We're the mugs or better the lugs
Who put over that affair.
You waited gals and when yore pals
Gave the invitation
You saw a show, so hot you know
Its bound to get ovation.
WE HOPE!

Emory and Henry
On Tuesday night, December 8, the
Buffalo basketball squad traveled to
Emory and Henry to engage a rangy
LCmory Quintet.
The game was close until the final
whistle when it was found that Emory
was leading 44 to 37. The boys of the
green and white were "off" and just
couldn't get started.
Tommy Miller led the scoring for
Milligan getting some support from
Fierce and Arnett. Parrish, big Emory
center, led the Emory scoring parade
with 17 points.
These two teams play a return en-
gagement at Milligan College on Sat-
urday night, December 12.

ected the play. She was assisted by
Miss Gelda Bernie. Steve Bowen was
Stage Manager and Miss Hilda Mad-

Ruth Rich was in charge of the cost-
umes. Olin B. Ripley, Jr. was Business

the rough spots.
The schedule, as yet, hasn't been
completed. But it is expected that sev-
eral topnotch teams will be engaged
this year.
Holston Independents
On November 24, Coach Lacy sent
his green and white boys of the hard-
wood into action against the Holston
Independents. He used the entire
squad as they ran up an S5 - 35 vict-
ory. Arnett and Pierce led the Buffalo
scoring, while Hayes and Akard, two
former Buffs, were outstanding for
Holston.
Mars Hill
On Dccemder 1, the Buff Cagesters
travelled to Mars Hill to play their
experienced five. An exciting game
was played with the score deadlocked
when the final whistle sounded. In the
overtime Pierce sank three goals to
clinch the victory 52 - 46. Arnett led
the scoring with 18 points, followed by
Pierce with 16.
War and Peace
(Continued from Page 5)
One gioup contends that we shall ab-
solutely crush the Axis power and a-
dopt the policy of retaliation and re-
venge. Such a course in the past has
only laid the foundation of future
conflict.
Another group contends that we
should disarm the Axis powers com-
pletely but provide for heavy arma-
ment on the part of the United Nations.
This course also is inadequate to insure
peace, for how are we to know that
these United Nations, thus heavily
armed, will not be divided among
themselves and engage in future wars'.'
We need to remember that a li Hie
while ago Russia was allied with Ger-
many and is now one of the so-called
United Nations And where shall we
class France," who is even divided with-
in itself? Heavy armaments as a per-
manent policy have never yet perpet-
uated peac .
As Christian people we should con-
tend for a Christian peace. Such a
peace will exclude a spirit of revenge
and will insure thoroughgoing justice,
mercy, and good will. We must believe
that peace is possible, permanent
peace ; then we must work for such a
peace on a Christian basis.
All our planning should be dominat-
ed by the statement of the Apostle
Paul found in the Roman letter: "Be
not overcome of evil but overcome
evil with good." Such a peace has
never been seriously tried. It is for the
Christian people of the world to de-
mand such a peace at the end of the
present conflict.

Section Elected
Votes have been cast for our King
and Queen for the May Day and these
two favorites of the student body,
David Trotter and Kitty Allen were
elected. These two seniors won by a
large majority of votes and we feel
sure that better selections could not
have been made.
But take a look at the personality
couple, Nita Johnson and Olin Ripley.
They seem to have what it takes -quite
u few seemed to have thought so, tuo.
For ALL-AROUND-GETTING-A-
ROUND (most versatile) why its
Allie Hyder and Jack Ankeny and
they really do have a part in most of
the activites on this campus.
Then, there's the Sport's side of the
qjestion - but no, not a c.ui st.on ;,ny
longer with Helen Graybeal as most
athletic girl and Tommy Miller most
athletic boy.
We all feel that Tom Gray rightly
deserves the confidence we have in his
ability to succeed. He was elected Most
Likely to Succeed.
The other outstanding student who
is a part of this group is Charlotte
Goss, Victory Queen, who was elected
by the football boys at the first of the
school year.
FACULTY
Dean Lacey
Dean Lacey first came to Milligan
College in 1927 as a student and grad-
uated cum laude in 1931 with an A. B.
degree. While he was in school he was
outstanding in dramatics, music, and
debating, being president of the Foren-
sic Club for two years. He was inter-
ested not only in student organizations,
but in all sports as well, and took an
active part in all of them.
After graduation he became the
coach at Mary Hughes High School
and then principal for one year.
In 1933 he came to Milligan College
as coach of football, baseball, and
track. Due to his superb coaching, Mil-
ligan has won championships in all
sports. In 1934 he took a course in
Physical bducation at the University
of Southern California. In 1942 he re-
placed Captain C. M. Eyler as Dean
of Men and basketball coach.
Dean Lacey is active in the business
and civic world. He is the Director of
the Junior and Sen. or Chambers of
Commerce, Director of the National
Football Coaches Association, head of
the Solicitation lor East Tennessee,
and the Community Chest Drive.

The Return of the
Native
Captain Clement Eyler, on leave of
absence from the United States Army,
and Mrs. Eyler, visited Milligan Col-
lege on the week end of February 4.
Really they just returned home for
they are both a definite part of Milli-
gan College. It was a very happy re-
turn, and students plus faculty seemed
to have that old Milligan spirit, dis-
played at its utmost in the welcoming
of Dean and Mrs. Eyler.
The dean's favorite hobby is basket-
ball and he arrived just in time to see
the Buffalo's trounce, or in his own
words, "give Teachers their annual les-
son." He also saw Milligan ride to
victory over Tenn. Weslyen Thursday
night. What a smile!
It really seemed like old times to see
the Dean in charge of chapel. The old-
er students knew well enough what we
would sing. We did.
In the Chapel program Thursday,
Dean Eyler discussed one of his key
interests and a subject about which he
is well informed, namely Drama. It
was interesting to hear the trend of the
new plays in Washington and New
York. "It s no easy job getting tick-
ets", said Captain Eyler, "To see a
play now, one has to purchase the
tickets by mail".
"Among the newer plays a great
many of them are Russian.
Three plays now running are: The
Three Sisters, Russian People, and
Counter Attack. Most of these Rus-
sian types of plays portray the cour-
age of the Russians and glorify the
occupied country."
Captain Eyler discussed the content
of the play Counter Attack and point-
ed out that the main interest of peo-
ple today is the war and so it is that
we have so many war plays. "Drama
is only life replica." He recommended
that students read noted and author-
itative authors of the day.

IDEALS OF PUBLICATION
This publication endeavors to foster the ideals
for which the student body is ever striving;
namely, higher scholarship, cleaner sportsman-
ship, and finer comradeship. It endeavors to rep-
resent the school in all its aspects and to print,
in an accurate and engaging way, everything of
news interest concerning it.
A Toast To Our Boys
A TOAST TO OUR BOYS . . . wherever they are
Let's drink a toast to the widening host
Of Americans serving the nation
To thos" millions of lads (our brothers and dads)
Who are saving our civilization.
To the men from the mills and the farms and hills
And the cities and mountains and plains
To the worker and miners and airplane des'gners,
And crews on ships and the trains.
Wherever they are - be it near, be it far,
On the land, in the air, on the sea
With a stoutness of heart they are doing their part
To keep this - "the land of the free."
So good luck and God speed them - may nothing
impede them
Nor make them delay nor digress
May Springtime find them with power behind them
To roll up a final success.
Youth And Tomorrow
Youth of today has the idea that the coming tomor-
row will be shrouded by an impenetrable darkness. They
have no hopes for the future. Their eyesight is dimmed by
the over-hanging veil of war.
Although war slows down the progress of a nation, it
should have no retarding effect upon the ideals arid plans
for advancement which are constantly arising in I he minds
of those who wish to succeed. Such a conflict has its op-
portunities and disadvantages.
This contention throws a light on education upon
which there are arguments both pro and con Such an
outstanding factor as obtaining valuable training in schools
should receive careful attention. Young men and women
should make the best of the advantages offered them in
the field of learning, but a a feeling of indebtedness which
is caused by the great tide of patriotism, that floods a
nation in time of strife, causes the withdrawal ol many
scholars from our institutions of learning. The students,
although willing to offer their services, should wait until
the government has made room for them. Hasty prepar-
ation is detrimental under any circumstance. Opposition
may arise to the preceding statement, but in the long run
of any project the fault will appear.
The field of science is greatly broadened because men
have a tendency to be more experimental. The creations
of man in such a period of conflict aid the betterment of
the coming civilization. Industries become more widely
developed.
War is a stimulus. It causes manufacturing concerns
to center their attention upon mass production. Job-seek-
ing youths ate more alert. Defense plants established by
the United States government afford a great attraction
for these eager young people; it also draws students away
from schools and business men and women away from
well-paid jobs. They have no assurance of a secure future,
because of the lapse which follows every war. Young
people should be wary, cautious and definite about their
plans for coming years.
It will take courage to face hardships and onslaughts
brought about by war. Youth should not fall under these
burdens. Their eyes should be lifted to utmost heights.
They should be ready to face any ordeal which comes
their way. There are other battles beside wars which have
to be fought-battles to establish better principles of living,
to reach a level of high standing in the social world, to
gain a knowledge of world affairs and other details of

The Milligan basketball team can
take its place beside the other fine
clubs of this section as a fiphting and
determined unit. After many handi-
caps the Buffs continued to fight back
and demand the opponent's respect.
Three valuable men were lo-t from the
team during the season and Coach
Lacey was forced to dig down to fill
the gaps. Thomas, Peters, Maupin,
and Williams responded by developing
fast to close the open gaps. The season
has been a highly successful one.
CARSON NEWMAN
On Saturday night January 9, 1943
was the first in a series of four basket-
ball games arranged between Milligan
College and the Carson Newman team
for this season. The game resulted in a
score of 43-39 in favor of the Carson
Newman team.
The game was close and hard fought
from beginning to end. Carton New-
man's Eagles led at the half 22 - 17.
Pierce and Stroud tied for high point
honors with 15 points each.
In their second meeting of the sea-
son the two clubs battled to the end
with C-N winning out 42—33. Moffett
led the C -N scoring with 14 points.
Capt Pierce led the BuiT point getting
with the same number. Jones, Eagle
scoring ace. was held to 6 points.
L. M. U.
The Milligan College Buffs met and
defeated a rangy L. M. U. five by the
score of 34-32. The contest was clo<e
throughout, with the outcome in doubt
until the final whistle.
Captain Pierce led the Buffalo scor-
ing parade. Gene Husky, big center,
was L. M. U.'s chief scoring threat.
In the second game between the two
clubs, the Railsplitters jumped to an
early lead and went on to give the Buf-
faloes their worst defeat of the season
54—28. Husky proved to be too much
for the Buff defense as he amassed a
total of 26 points. Matherly's 7 points
was high for the green and white.
TUSCULM
In their first meeting at Milligan the
Buffs nosed out the Pioneers by the
score of 33— 32. The game was a thril-
. ler from start to finish, with some
good defensive ball displayed. Mitchell
was Tusculm's scoring ace for the even-
ing with 12 points. Capt. Pierce led the
Buff scoring with 14 points. Spargo,
Pioneer scoring ace, was rationed to 4
points by the Milligan defense.
In their second meeting at Tusculm,
the Pioneers won out be a score of 47 to
41. The game was a see-saw affair and
close throughout. Matherly led the
scoring for the evening with 14 points.
Williams followed with 9 points. For
Tusculm it was Hartsell with 13 points,
followed by Higgens with 12. Spargo,
offensive star, was again checked by

A BUFFALO
BE(A)RD
It's a new year and a new semester,
but ole Buffalo says that you kids on
hill are up to your old tricks.
Happiest gals on the hill were Jane
Butler, Amis, Graybeal, and Edna
Walters when the "Milligan spirit"
brought Pie, Spraker, Alabama, and
Slew back to the campus.
Have you noticed the hair-cutting
race going on? Last year it was boys

boys.
Prof. Long: (rapping on desk) "Order,

thought up.
Prof. Hyder: "If I take a potato and
divide it in two parts, then into four
parts, and each of the four parts into
two parts, what would you have?
Ed Laws: "Potato salad."
Carico announces that Don Pearce
left Milligan for the purpose of attend-
ing the conference at Casa Blanca.
Since Don has safely returned to Mil-
ligan now, we of the Stampede are
proud to be the first to publish the
news.
The Buffaloes and Buffalettes were
proud and happy to have Harriet Par-
due here on a visit for a few short days.
Miss Jones is publishing a book en-
titled "How To Ride A Tricycle." Her
teacher, we understand, was none oth-
er than old man experience.
Burkie and Brooks are concentrat-
ing more on their British Survey this
semester. They have caught a new
method.
Question of the month- After seeing
all the beauties of Hollywood will Lane
want to return to Tennessee?
"Mummy" Moore has declared that
he will drop all charges against the
Cleveland Bonecrushers.
Poor Marie Makenziel She's been
trying to get one of her friends mar-
ried off ever since Christmas. From

won't have half as much trouble get-
ting herself "hitched."
Walker: (in quantitative) Doc, I check-
ed this problem 8 times.
Dr. Thompson: Thats excellent. I sup-
pose you know that its right.
Walker: No, sir, I'm not sure, but here
are the 8 results.
For commando training we suggest
that you see "Ox" Thomas for demon-
strations.
To find out th? new national anthem
see Bobby Addenbrook. He's an expert
on that subject.
We hear that Marie Tyler has a sec-
ret love. Or is it secret? She should
have signed up for some lab courses,
eh, Edna?
Suggestion of the hour: That "Gene"
is the short for Genius Lynch-even at
conference.
"Lawyer" Mark Wilson will tell you
all about the murder laws of the Unit-
ed States as soon as he figures out one
little point, "Who will be tried in

"Dude" says the marines have land-
ed and that he has Amis well in hand.
It is rumored that he is using "Bu'l-
dog" Law's famous Johnson County
technique.
Bobby Je-see is looking for a capa-
ble assistant to take the place of "Rip"

higher concern. To qualify the appli-
cants must be willing to work at night
and must remain sober, while on the

Return of Native
(Continued from Page 1)
It was a pleasant visit and somehow
those who did not know the Dean rea-
lized that in him and Mrs. Eyler there
were characteristics that portray-
ed the true spirit of o'd Milligan, and
that in them friends were made. We
all look forward to their return, "Buff-
lo born and Buffalo bred."

Intramurals
The first semester the intramural
girls met twice a week and participat-
ed in volley ball games The three
games played on the evening of Dec.
12 determined the While team as win-
ners. This team was composed of
Seniors and Sophomore girls.
At present, the girls have entered
upon iheir basketball season. All the
"veterans" have returned and many
new ones have joined in. Coach G. B.
Pierce has already scrimmaged the
girls and judging from the hard and
earnest efforts of the girls, methinks
the girls will rival the Commandos
when it comes to noise and rocking
the gym floor.
International Relations Club
The International Relations Club
meets the first and third Mondays of
each month in Prof. Holly's classroom.
The club has as it s president, 01 n Rip-

1 deeply appreciate your kind let-
ter of April 6, together with the one
that I received from Mrs. Bowman
yesterday containing copies of The
Buffalo Range and also a copy of
the Milligan catalog.
I am sorry that I never received
your letters and copies of the alum-
ni paper which you stated in your
letter that you had mailed me from
time to time. I left Winston-
Salem. N. C, in 1938. after spend-
ing approximately eight years there,
to go on construction work, and
since my address has changed so
frequently, that is probably the rea-
son I did not receive them.
The Buffalo Range is certainly
interesting and there are many
names mentioned in it which recall
many happy and pleasant days
spent at Milligan. I can truthfully
say that the four years that I spent
at Milligan were four of the hap-
piest years of my life.
I have seen very few of my
classmates since I graduated in 1927
and would be very glad to hear
from any of them at any time.
It might be of interest to some
of the faculty and students to learn
that William Showalter is now in
North Africa.
Some day I hope to visit Mil-

am afraid my visit will have to be
postponed.

We are in receipt of an interesting
letter from John C. McKissick, class
of 1924. John is now a Lt. Col. in
the Medical Corps, in the Eleventh
Station Hospital and is somewhere
overseas. For those who knew John
we are publishing herewith his letter
addressed to the editor of the Buf-
falo Range.
Many of our boys write us ex-
pressing their pleasure upon receipt
of a letter from the college or some-
one who was in school at the same
time they were here. We suggest
that each alumni choose one boy m
the service and write him regularly.
We are having a difficult time
keeping up with the addresses of all

preciate having any know addresses
sent in for publication.

command of a hospital here — the
medical facilities are very good and

manner with anything back at home

Nissen huts and joining them to-

A Tennessee Skyline
Under date of February 10, Mr.
J. B. Lyon of Bristol. Tennessee,
sent us a copy of a poem found
among his late brother's papers
which were sent to him after the
death of his brother in Topeka, Kan-
sas. The poem. "A Tennessee Sky-
line," is in remembrance of his old
East Tennessee home. Hammitt's
Hill to which he makes reference in
this poem is the site of the.Hopwood
house on the hill opposite the col-
lege.
The poem is as follows: :
Does distance lend enchantment yet
And fancy fix all things we get?
Does far away hold brilliant glare,
When tall spires pierce the every-
where?
We know full well in days of old
The many things some teachers
told.
But a short skyline broke the thrill
With mountain tops and Ham-
mitt's hill.
They were so near could feel their
breeze
But could not see beyond their
trees.
Their tops shut out the world so
tight
'Twas night all day and night all
night.
Yet things afar were very grand
Though hidden as a promised land.
But a short skyline broke the thrill
Before Hopwoods moved to Ham-
mitt's hill.
We paused awhile a fact to win.
The world shut out is a world
shut in.
On the near world we used to eye
While Buffalo Creek went romp-
ing by.
Things in view gave a mighty thrill
With college walls and Williams
mill.
Some students worked as for a
wage —
All teachers taught as doth a sage.
Folks from the far came to the near
Then Milligan proved doubly dear.
Things in view/gave a mighty thrill
With college walls and Williams
Mill.

THE STAMPEDE
Jirl s
Party
One of the outstanding, recent
events was the girls' party given
on Thursday night. The party
came a little early this year
because so many boys were
leaving to join the armed forces.
The Army Air Corps Reserve had
been called that week, so the party
was more-or-less given in honor ol
the seven boys who were leaving.
Thi.se boys were David Trotter,
Frank Cooley, Bill Carico. Jim (L'-
Abner) Harmon, Herbert Breeding,
Harry Pardue and Jack Osborne.
Every boy received an invitation
with insigna of Air Corps in gold
on the front. The girls themselves
in formal attire escorted their dates
from Pardee Hall (and it is
noted that no girl was kept waiting
while her date finished dressing.)
The party was staged at the audi-
torium, where a special program
had been arranged. First act was
an examination of the boys for the
Air Corps by Dr. Guinn. Poor
David Trotter— I believe that Uncle
Sam's forces would have been far
beter off without him in the light
of information dug up by this ex-
amination.
The next part of the program
was a U. S. O. stars as— Betty
Bcop, Edgar Berger and Charlie
McCartly, Jeannette McDonald,
Dinah Shore, Veronica Lake, Hed-
dy Lamor, Joan Davis, Betty Davis,
Carman Miranda and Very Vogue
present, and guest of honor, Mrs.
Roosevelt.
After t he program everybody
went to the gym where all
couples engaged in a cake walk —
round and round the gym in step
with a snappy march. Two couples
were eliminated each time the music
stopped. Finally only one couple
remained, Thomas Hagy and Miss
Mary Croley, who was awarded
a large angel food cake.
Everybody then got in a large
circle and began passing a ball
around to music. But when the
music stopped the couple holding
the Lall was eliminated. Winners
were Miss Milagrosa Echeandia
and Robert Jessee, who also were
presented with a large cake.
The couples left the gym and
went to Hardin Hall where every-
thing was very beautifully decorated
with red, white and blue streamers
and with balloons floating near the
ceiling. A large sign, "Welcome,"
was very prominent at the entrance
and flowers and ornaments from the
girls' own rooms were made.
Delightful refreshments were served
at an original booth at one
end of the hall. As everyone sat
around after being served someone
started a song, as is so often the
case around Milligan — this time
it was "Auld Lang Syne." As
everyone joined it there seemed to
be a sort of seriousness which was
not present heretofore — as we sang
those well-known lines, "Should
Auld Acquaintances Be Forgot" for
we were losing friends and some-
how there we knew that no one
could ver take their places, and so
the party ended and everyone left
with the words of that old song still
ringing in his ears and seeming
to soy "Good-bye, my dear friend,
and Good Luck!"
Mrs. Brokaw
Honored
Mrs. Emerson Brokaw, of 403
W, Pine Street, Johnson City, was
honored with a tea and miscel-
laneous shower by the Sophomore
girls on Friday evening, April 9,
from seven to nine o'clock, at the
Home Economis Cottage. Invited
guests were the members of the
faculty, and the Freshman, Junior
and Senior girls.
The sophomores poured tea and
assisted in serving. An arrange-
ment of cut flowers centered the
tea table.
Mrs. Brokaw received many
lovely gifts.

Enclosed is my check for a sub-
scription to the Alumni Bulletin.
We seldom hear any Milligan
news way up here in Ohio, but the
bulletin is received with interest at
the "Green Keg" (you see, my
brother Colburn and his family live
next door to us).
Ernest and I spent a very en-
joyable evening recently with Roy
Pearson who is with the Standard
Oil Company. His headquarters
is now in New York City, al-
though for several years he had
been in China and India. Claude
Love is still with the Chase Na-
tional Bank in New York and, ac-
cording to Roy, "he is the same old
Claude."
Ernest is an inspector at the
American Steel and Wire Company
plant in Cleveland. His work is very
exacting but he finds time to be an
Air Raid Warden. My war efforts
are confined to Red Cross— salvage,
sewing, funds, and a blood
donor. For recreation we have an
acre and a half of land, an eight-
room house, and two very active
children. Charles and Christine, age
nine and five, respectively.
Well, here's to a bigger and bet-
ter bulletin until victory in this war
makes personal visits possible.
Sincerely,
Isabelle Green Kegley.

Senior Girls Entertain
The Senior girls entertained with
a tea and linen shower honoring
Mrs. Walter Faust, of 502 W. Pine
Street, Johnson City, on February
27, at the home of Miss Aline Hy-
der, member of the Senior Class.
Mrs. Faust, member of the Senior
Class, received many lovely gifts
from the guests who called from
3 p. m. to 5 p. m.
The tea table was overlaid with
a lace cloth and centered with an
arrangement of cut flowers. The
Senior girls poured tea and assisted
in serving.

A BUFFALO
HE(A)RD
Ole Buffalo recently made a survey in the girls'
dorm and the results were very amusing. The
question asked was: "In case of fire, what would
you take out?"
Here are some of the replies:
MALOAH WILLLIAMS-"Me and money."
MARY LEE INGLE~"Clothes."
LORINli HUMPHRIES— "Shoes, make-up and
jewelry.
CROSS and AMIS-~"CIothes."
MARY ROBINSON-"Fur coat and bracelet."
VESTA NOBLITT— "Two lockets (one a gift
from a certain you-know-who), a souvenir flower
and David's picture."
MARY ANN HUMPHRIES-"Pearl ring."
LENORE PIERCE-"Clothes."
MILAGROSA— "A heart-shaped jewel box,
given to me by Ursula's brother."
EMERITA— "My new shoes."
MILLIE MADRON-"Radio."
GINNY BEAVERS~"Clothes."
URSULA LOPEZ — "My mother's picture."
VIRGINIA BURKETT-"My coloring book
and rjusic box."
MARY GOURLEY— "Pocketbook."
GEORGIA HILT— "I'd just run."
SARA STERE— 'My sleeping roommate."
BlANCA— My man's picture."
EDNA WALTERS— "My clarinet and the boy
friends picture."
EDNA WILSON-"At night I'd grab a coat
but in the daytime I'd take my clarinet and a
pocketbook."
MARY FAYNE ANDERSON - "I'd take
Marie out to save her for Lynch."
MARIE TYLER— "The radio, so Mary Fayne
and I could dance, after the fire was out."
RUTH BARTON, BETTY BLAIR, ANNA
MARGARET- Me!"
JANE BUTLER— "Clothes and my music."
KITTY ALLEN— Lane's picture and my gold
M."
GRAYBEAL— "My tennis racquet."
And now for some gossip as space will allow.
MAUPIN— "Katy, why do you call Tip, 'Oil'?"
KATY — "Because he's so crude."
We understand that G. B., on the way home
the other day, slept through Mosheim and didn't
awake until he reached Knoxville. Now, how'd
he ever manage to do that?
Everybody is talking about Dr. McCarrell's
collision in Economics class.
Said Joe Starnes after the M-Club banquet:
"Gee, I didn't know you could get to like a girl
so much after just one date."
Well, another year has nearly gone. It's been
a swell year, but we sure do miss all the boys
who have gone and will miss those who will soon
be leaving — We wish them the best! Au revoir.
Impressions
Some little Jap-a-Nazis
From the land of Jap-a-Sap
Jumped on a sleeping Tiger
Which they thought would be a
snap.
They clipped him on the beezer
And clipped him on the nose
And twisted all his whiskers
And tramped on his toes.
When the tiger thought the Japs
Were about to say adieu,
He arose and said: "Now Japies
I am good at smoking too!"
So the tiger swung a killer
At a little Japie Gnat
And the little Nazi Japie
Made impressions where he sat
And he took another wallop
And another Nazi Jap
Found an oriental whimper
In an occidental slap.
£>o you see my children,
That a peace abiding cat
Made a lot of good impressions
Where the Jap-a-Nazi sat.

THE STAMPEDE
Dale Honeycutt
February 3, 1943.
Dale Honeycutt, Somewhere in
Scotland.
It was a great source of pleasure
to me when I received a copy of
the Buffalo Range a few days ago.
I am always delighted to read the
news of Milligan and the alumni
and will in the future look forward
to receiving the copies of the Range
regularly. A money order for one
dollar is being forwarded for the
subscription.
As you will note from above I am
located in "Bonny" Scotland. As
to how long I have been here or
what I am doing I cannot say for
security reasons, yet the work is in-
teresting and the country beautiful;
although I am kept quite busy I
have taken enough time to look
about the countryside (censored) of
historic Scotland as well as Eng-
land. Seeing a nation as it is en-
tering its fourth year of war is per-
haps not fair, if I may say such, to
those of us who have never been in
the United Kingdom before. I, how-
ever, realizing we are not here on a
(censor's blackout) sight-seeing tour
try to face the facts of war as the
courageous people of this island
have done for the past three years.
From the very beginning I have
been much impressed with the cour-
age of the British people. The things
that have struck me most, against
which these people are keeping
their chins up are: the black-out.
This is one thing which I believe
tries the human nerves more than
any other part of the war. Next
the rationing problem — to see the
women "queue up" (form a line)
for the grocery store is very com-
mon, yet they do it gladly, even
(censored) though they may have
to stand in the rain or cold. The
majority of people do not have the
changes of clothing they once had,
not because of lack of money but
because their coupons are rationed.
Yes, the people do a lot of walking
and the busses are crowded (why
tell that to Americans these days?),
but cars aren't used at all for pleas-
ure driving. Another thing impress-
ing me is the part that women are
playing in this war, aside from the
services (censor's blackout) which
have thousands of women. They
are working in the fields, in the
factories and shops. You perhaps
have read these things in "My
Day" or from some friend over here
or in the paper or a magazine so I
will not go into any more detail
about the war problems here. In-
cidently I saw Mrs. Roosevelt and
spoke to her while on her visit here.
An interesting experience which was
mine a few weeks ago was having
the pleasure to shake hands with
the King and Queen and chat with
them for a short while.
With kindest best wishes for the
continued success of Milligan and
even though the sailing may be
rough in these days of war, I know
that with the guidance which
she will receive from the Alumni
Association, she will, as always be-
fore, weather the storm. My re-
gards are extended to all members
of the faculty that I know and to all
alumni who attended Milligan in
the early thirties.
Respectfully,
Capt. Dale Honeycutt,
Prov. Air Base Squadron,
A. P. O. 648, c-o Postmaster,
New York, N. Y.
Oriole's."
In looking through some old
magazines a few days ago, I came
across a copy of The Periscope
published by the student body of
Milligan College. It is dated Feb-
ruary, 1919. The late Charles D.
Lucas is the editor-in-chief. Whet-
her this footbridge still stands or
not, it is a good "Remember
When" for all students early or
late who have ever entered the
campus of Milligan.
Sincereiy,
Anna Lucas Kennedy.
The Bridge of Reveries
In a recent communication from
Mrs. Annie Lucas Kennedy of Roa-
noke, Virginia, she enclosed a "Re-
member When" taken from The
Periscope of February, 1919. In
reply to Mrs. Kennedy's request,
we publish "The Bridge of Rever-
ies" as follows:
"On the campus at Milligan Col-
lege there is a little footbridge
c/hich spans Buffalo Creek, and he
who chances to stroll down the lit-
tle winding path that leads to it
lingers a while and looks upon the
picture. In the springtime it is most
beautiful. Overhead the willows
arch, making a verdant trellis
wherein the bees and the saucy
green flies keep up a merry hum,
while the creek adds to the melody
by chuckling a happy song as it
bounds on its way to the lowlands.
It is the Bridge of Reveries; here,
nothing but beautiful thoughts can
survive; here, cares are forgotten.
Many are the secrets locked up for-
ever in the heart of this bridge.
Long has it been there, listening to
the songs of the marsh frogs, and
the whip-poor-wills; listening to the
rustle of the falling leaves, and the
swish of the snowstorm. The creek
is its voice; it calls the stars to
council and even the moon pauses
on the milky way to listen to the
secrets — for on this bridge have
sweethearts pledged their troth. In
the willows overhead the robins and
the orioles have raised their broods
in peace, knowing that the destroy-
er dare not tread on this place so
hallowed. To a few does the
Bridge of Reveries tells some of its
secrets; of the whispers of lovers;
of what the hurrying creek told; of
how the oriole built its nest; why
the little black jumping spider has
two red spots on his back; where
the honeybee carries its honey. It
is said that "whosoever discloses
one of these secrets will lose his
sweetheart, and hard it is for me to
confess, that I told a blue jay a way
to build her nest similar to Mr.

But my aunt's washwoman's sister's son,

Say to a laborer on the street
That he had a letter just last week,
Written in the finest Greek,
From a Chinese Coolie in Timbuctoo,
Saying that the niggers in Cuba knew
Of a man in a Texas town
Who got it straight from a oircus clown,
That a man in Klondike heard the news
From a gang of South American Jews,
About somebody in Borneo,
Who heard of a man who claimed to know
Of a swell society female fake
Whose mother-in-law would undertake
To find Mosheim, for goodness sake!
Recent Visitors
Since the last issue several of our
alumni, who are now in the service of
our country, have visited the college
and friends in the community.
The list of visitors follows:
Ted Alexander Gn.3c Gunners Mate

transferred and stopped on his way to
his new assignment.
Cameron Duggins, who has recently
returned from Guadacanal.
Lieutenant and Mrs. Clyde Cooper

Prof
roressor
Coch
rane
Professor Cochrane, better known
as "Prof" first came to Milligan in
1920 as head of the Biology depart-
ment. At that time he also taught
Chemistry and Physics.
He is a graduate of the University
of Virginia, received his Masters De-
gree at the University of Tennessee,
and has attended summer sessions at
Vanderbilt and Duke Univers ities.
When Professor Cochrane first came
to Milligan he was the sponsor of the
Pre-Med club. He was coach of Milli-
gan's first football team and continued
coaching for four years. He was the
baseball coach for one year, and that
year under his coaching, the team won
the state championship.
His main activities are church work.
He teaches not only the girls Sunday
School here at Milligan but a ladies
class at the Methodists Memorial
Church at Johnson City. His leader-
ship in this field and his life is an
inspiration to Milligan students.
Prof's recreation is all kinds of ath-
letics, and his hobby is raising flowers.
He has been on the faculty of Mil-
ligan College since 1920 with the
exception of one leave of absence from
1930-1931.

I certainly enjoyed your letter. It
makes one feel fine to know that he
isn't completely forgotten. I have
received little mail that has pleased
me more than your letter. I think you
made a wise resolution by wanting
to write to the boys. I never exactly
realized how much mail could be
appreciated. It is said that during
the time of mail call, it would be im-
possible to sell five dollar bills for a
quarter, because everyone is in such
a mad rush for the mail room. Of,
course, that is a hyperbole, but it
has a lot of truth in it.
How is everything at dear ole
Milligan? President Burns said that
several of the boys had been called.
I imagine that there are quite a lot
of familiar faces missing. They tell
me that Johnson City is just about
empty of boys of military age. It is
a fine thing that the boys have re-
sponded so well. My only regret is
that I didn't get into all of this
sooner. Is is a great life, however,
it becomes trying at times.
I remember when I was at Milli-
gan, that I was prone to laugh at the
reports of some of the boys who
were in the services. It seemed im-
possible to me that the Army could
be harder than some of the courses
at Milligan. I've changed my mind
now that I've seen just how fast and
furious the subjects are thrown at
us. It is true that the subjects are
not particularly hard, but they cover
so much in so short a time that they
become complicated. Some of the
fellows are having a hard time be-
cause it is all so new to them. I feel
that I am fortunate in having had
previous training in nearly all of the
subjects. My C. P. T. training as
well as my other college subjects
are invaluable to me. You migth
tell Dr. Thompson that we are hav-
ing much of his physics in our
courses.
Our class will be shipped from
here soon but is not known where
we are going. We have our grad-
uation dance this Saturday as well
as some other exercises. I will not
be able to enjoy any of it because
this week promises to be very full
of things to do. We are rushed for
time, and we have to go into the gas

chamber, go into the range, go into
the high altitude chamber and sev-
eral other things besides our regular
schedule this week. I also have
barracks guard this Friday, interior
guard Friday night and all day Sat-
urday, so you see I will be in no
shape to enjoy our graduation. I al-
ways did seem to be unlucky in
things like that. I remember that we
were taught that there was no such
thing as luck, however, I still don't
see it that way. Maybe it will all
change soon. I believe it will; I'm
still optimistic.
Sincerely,

This has been a wonderful day fo-
me, because someone was kind
enough to send me copies of the
Buffalo Range and Stampede. For
the first time since I graduated, I
was able to learn some very inter-
esting things about many of my col-
lege friends — their marriages, voca-
tions, service status, etc, It seems
quite obvious that the matrimonial
bureau, fostered by President Der-
thick, still exists on the hill, How-
ever, I suppose that the free cere-
monies are now performed by Presi-
dent Burns.
Now for a few words about my
activities since leaving Milligan. I
taught English and coached basket-
ball for a year at Norton High
School, Norton, Virginia. I then
went to Roanoke, Virginia, and
played basketball for two years-
being named on the A. A. U. All-
American team of 1941. In March
of this year, I was appointed as one
of the Directors of Physical Train-
ing and Athletics for the Navy, and
was assignedito the staff at the Nor-
folk Naval Training Station. Last
summer, I played baseball here and
am now a member of the basketball
team. Last summer a half-dozen of
the outstanding athletes in various
sports were chosen to room together.
Among my roommates were Bob
Feller, Ace Parker, Chet Gladchuk,
and Billy Soose.
I am enjoying my work very much
(Continued on next column)
(Continued from preceding column)
and trust that all my colleagues are
as interested in their job. Recently I
received a letter: from Bernie Webb,
my old roommate, who informed me
that he is coming into our program
some time this month. I am looking
forward to seeing him, for I know
he will have lots of welcome news
from the Buffalo Institute. I always
follow the destinies of the athletic
teams at Milligan with intense in-
terest, for my greatest sports thrills
came from performing for Coaches
Eyler, Lacey, and the Milligan stu-
dents, I recently received an invita-
tion from Captain Eyler to visit in
his home, and plan to do so before
long.
I am enclosing a year's subscrip-
tion fee for the Buffalo Range. Also,
please express my sincere regards to
i-iy former professors and their fam-
ilies. With my very best wishes for
the continued success of Milligan
College in all her endeavors, I re-
main,

Your letter received several weeks
ago has not been replied to for sev-
eral reasons, one being illness.
You may recall receiving a letter
from me several months ago which
was published in the Buffalo Range,
and I do not have anything addi-
tional at this time which would be
of interest to my old school mates.
As time goes on and events happen
I will be happy to write again.
I always enjoy reading the Alumni
Publication and look forward to
each copy. If you know the address
of my old roommate, Stanley J. Car-
penter, '30, who is in the Service, I
will be glad to hear from you.

j . . VELCOME
FROM P.E.iDEN'T ELLIOTT
W'tH's first issue of the Stam-
peUe I wish to give a hearty wel-
come to all' the students who have
enrolled in Milligan College in
'945. .. This is a history-making
;ear for old Milligan, in that our
reconversion represented a 100%
rocess. a situation which was faced
by no other Navy V-12 College in
America.
I want to express my apprecia-
tion, also, for the splendid manner
in which you have entered into
the spirit of Milligan. We are here
to teach Christian culture, right
thinking, and clean living. It is
our earnest desire that the great
mottoes of this College be ever in
your hearts and minds, namely.
"Christian education, the Hope of
the World." and "Character build-
ing first of all."
Let us strive for excellency in our
every undertaking, in the class-
room and on the athletic field. Let
us be satisfied with nothing less
than the very best that is within us.
VIRGIL L. ELLIOTT, President
MILLIGAN

ejections oi.:'._ -e ^larimbai' ; r^-
played "The Indian -. Love-Call," ■
Till the End of. Time," '.'The? Okl
Rugged Cross,", and -several.- other
well liked tunes. Her appreciative-
audience gathered around her at the;
elpse of the prbgrshv to :inspect-tiie> d
instrument and to get general i >
formation about Mrs. Linn herself.
In a talk with Mr,. Linn we learned
that Mrs. Linn 'arid her sister have'
been rausicins ' for their en-
tire life and have graciously given
their talent to the work of the Lord.
ivlrs. Linn teaches private piano
lessons for her own amusement and
plays the Marimba and piano com-
pletely by memory. She and her
•sister had an offer from the Major
Bowes Show to. travel as a troupe
with a big salary but declined the
offer to help the ministers do their
work to a greater advantage. We
appreciated Mr. Smith's thoughts '
of us along this line as we wouldn't- "
:iave missed the opportunity" of
knowing Mrs. Linn and hearing her --
play her Marimba so beautifully -
She indeed has a fine talent and' is
using this talent in such an excel-
lent way.

Excursion
Where were you on the day of
October 13, 1945?
So you went on a tour with the
lacks and Jills of Miliigan College
to Boone, North Carolina.
Tell us all about it! State the
acts; give the details. You know
Ow you went, what kind of a'' time
ou had, and definitely what you
Vent for! -i ' '
■ What' a day! We couldn't have
,;ked for a more beautiful one:
.'he sun was bright and warm
.nouglv to make the cool October
.ay comfortable.
The men, our football team, T
mean, (eft earlier, in the morning.
Incidentally, the purpose of this
.rip to 'Boone was to see the Buf^
faloe; spoil the homecoming day at
Boone ' i'or the Mountaineers of
Appalachian State; Teachers' Col-
lege— and they did,' Comirig'home,
later i :i the evening, we were vic-
■tortoiw 9 to 7 '(you'H 'have to get
somebody else to explain just how
they 'got those e'jetra points, I
don't know much about football) —
but I'm "laming."
Busses began together around
8:30 A. ~k.r and we^began together
around 8:^1 .A, M. Three buses in
all; a nice , bigi'r^d one for all that
had long legs to' carry them in a
flash to it and then there was the
'cute litT number." Need I say any
more? I bet a bright' penny those
riding on that last bus had just as
an enjoyable time as those on the
'45" |models! Anyway, who had
ime to think whether you were
sitting on a soft, leather seat?
Racked, packed and ready to go
we traveled oyer hills and over
lale hitting (not a dusty trail) but
'iewing some of the most beautiful
ights one could ask for. The moun-
ains were gorgeously arrayed, in
'ari-colors. A prettier sight I
iave yet to see.

The old door to the prayer
room smiled contentedly Monday
night as thirty new and old mem-
bers of the Christian Service
Group reverently assembled for
the firrt meeting of the new
school year. President Elliott
sm'lled, too, as he led the group
in an impressive evening of pray-
er and song.
One of the outstanding features
of the program was the reading
of a letter addressed to the Chris-
tian Service Group from O. D.
Johnson, young mis"ionary to In-
dia. In his letter Mr. Johnson
told in detail some of his impres-
sions and experiences when he
first reached the mission field.

THE STAMPEDE

FROM THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE FENCE
Most of you good people went to the Emory game last week, but
how many of you had seats on the Emory side? Well, we did, but
only to avoid standing. There we were, alone with a hostile mob of
Emory fans all around us.
They were a happy bunch when the game started. All were telling
us how badly we were going to be beaten and threw a few remarks
at us like this: "You're nothin' but a bunch of bums and when we
get through with you, you'll go home with your tails hanging low."
I answered quickly, "Buffalos' don't have tails."
A bottle bounced off a seat beside me so I shut up — didn't want
to start anything.
As the game progressed, the cheers changed from "Run over them
Emory" to "Get in there and fight," and they began telling us the
coach was holding back the first team until the second half.
In the second half, the fans were really crying. We started an
appeal to an oversized cop to help us make a getaway, but, when he
turned and looked at us with fierce, brute eyes, and growled, "What
do you want?" we noticed a big Emory button on his coat lapel. So
my girl sorta smiled sweetly at him and said, "Would you care for
some popcorn?" He just growled and took off.
The game was fast approaching the end. Emory fans were doing
everything but tearing up the seats— a few even attempted that. So
we covered our Milligan buttons and eased down the steps. As soon
as we hit the track, we made a dash for it under a barrage of pop
bottles. Guess we did 100 yards in nothing flat.
The Moral: Sit on the Milligan side at all games even if you
must stand— life is too sweet to throw away in a rash moment.

Tuesday, Sept. 17, saw the for-

under the direction of Mr. Jack
Stafford. Milligan has long miss-
ed such a musical organization
and extends now it's hand in a
hearty welcome to our band. We
are fortunate to have Mr. Jack
Staiford, who comes to us from
Elizabethton, as our director. He
is an accomplished and versatile
musician, feeling equally at ease
in both swing and the classics.
Mr. Stafford conducted both the
Navy Dance Orchestra and
Marching Band here during the
Navy's invasion of Milligan. All
students who can play an instru-
ment are privileged to attend re-
hearsals. We can guarantee that
you will never meet another per-
son quite like "Prof" Stafford.
Buffs Battle High Point Saturday
Saturday evening, Sept. 28 at
8 P. M. the Milligan Buffalos
will battle the high riding High
Pointers from High Point, N. C.
The probable starting line-up
for Milligan will be:
R. E. Bob Elliott
R. T. Harry Fine
R. G. "Slew" Stallard
C Don Weber
L. G. Joe Crane
L. T. Joe Starnes
L. E. Allen or Cox
Q. B. Harry Pardue
R. H. B. Miller or Penney
L. H. B. Claude Holsclaw
F. B. Vivian Carrier
Last season the Buffs fought
the High Pointers to a 6-6 tie in
the big Burley Bowl This season
finds Milligan a little stronger
with a few more experienced
players in reserve ready to fill in
that battling line. Indications
point also to a stronger opponent .

THE STAMPEDE
Milligan Has Largest Enrollment
In History of the College
With the opening of the fall
semester, young people came
from all parts of the United
States and Puerto Rico to join
the Milligan family, thus making
the enrollment the largest in the
school's history.
When the col'^ge first began
in'] 882, there v.ere eight mem-
bers on the faculty with an en-
rollment of 180, a number of
which were Academy students.
Figures recently released by the
Registrar, E. G. Lodter, show a
healthy and steady growth
throughout the years.

1920 150 15
1930 180 22
1940 330 25
1946 415 30
The figures for the years 1882-
1911 include Academy students.
As of September 17, 1946, the
Registrar reports 415 students
raking full time work with many
not having completed their regis-
tration. The total registration,
when completed, will be near 450.

The Voice Of Milligan
We h?ve here the opinions of
jur beloved students on the vital
issues that face our school and
county today.
Our problem this week is:
"What you you think of the nuis-
ance lights hidden around the
campus?"
Alabama Lee thinks the lights
are O. K., and said that the G. Fs
have been in the dark so long, a
little light is appreciated. Kmmm
mm, I wonder.
Pauline Millins said that she
thought they were fire flies, and
she thinks our boys are so cute.
She also said, "What do we need
with lights when we have such a
nice moon in Tennessee? It is
much nicer than the moon we
have at home."
Virginia Owens asked, "What
lights?"
John Keffer says, "It makes no
difference to me; I'm not taking
a course in Campusology." (What-
ever that is).

The ole Buffalo hasn't been
heard for a long time but he is
really busy now. He's pleased to
note that even the new "kids" are
up to the same old tricks.
Our nomination for the season's
mo?t dignified couple — Wray and
Bauer.
Does the J H on the little pin
Betty Williams is wearing stand
for Joe Hagan? Perhaps any one
of three people could tell us.
Has everyone noticed that Leo-
la Phipps is all a-glitter? Seems

hand and a certain You-Know-
Who.
The students enjoyment of the
iaculty reception was measured in
punch and cookies.
A certain freshman girl wants
to know if it is compulsory to
date the Milligan boys. Shall we
call a meeting of the boys to ac-
cept her resignation as a candi-
date???
Registration was very exhaust-
ing for some students but the
more literary-minded found con-
solation from the fact that "They
also rerve who only stand and
wait."
Miss Mynatt was unable to at-
tend the faculty party — she was
getting a bird's-eye-view of Bay-
lor University from a former Mil-
igan Prof.
Stoke! Those good-bye kisses
you give in bus terminals are ex-
tremelv interesting to innocent
bystanders.
We wondered where "Fish"
.■>rjitt got her nickname until we
,aw her perform in the swimming
pool.
If Prof Long had new teeth like
Prof. Burns, he could probably
have chewed that string at the
faculty party.

Wh
ere s
trie Steak?
Prompted by the overpowering
odor of cooking beef, we deter-
mined to interview our dietician,
Miss Frances Conover, on the col-
lege angle of the national food
crisis. As we expected, we found
her in the kitchen bending lovingly
over a pan of sizzling steak from
which she reluctantly parted after
giving minute instructions for pre-
paration of the steak and explain-
ing, half apologetically, that her
unu.ual solicitude was due to this
being the last piece of steak in
Caner county.
• I am glad to see you," she said
when we explained who we were,
"and happy to put my side of the
case before the student body."
"Why, you know," she continued,
"I can't put syrup on my pancakes
in the morning without having that
guilty feeling that perhaps I'm tak
ing the food from someone's very
mouth."
"And that's a good example,"
she said. "Our sugar allotment has
been cut to the point where desserts
are impossible. Brown sugar especi-
ally, which we need for syrup,
cakes, icing, baked and fried ap-
ple- and pies, is impossible to find.
You'll notice how often we have
ice cream; it is the only dessert we
can get."
"Doubtless you wonder what's
become of the bottles of milk for
breakfast. We can't get them! and
I have to buy from several dairies
to get enough milk."
Here we inte:rupted to ask that
all important question, "What about
meat?"
The dietician shrugged resigned-
ly. "There is just no meat on the
market. We buy direct, you know,
and this week the packer's represen-
tative did not even trouble to call.
We have not been able to buy any
bacon i'or three months— and no
lard. This is very serious because
without lard we can't fry potatoes
or apples or make biscuits. Cooking
oil, salad and weson oils aren't on
the market. Notice the poached
eggs — lack of lard."
"What about butter?" we inter-
posed.
"Butter is obtainable," she said,
and whispered a price in our ears
which rocked us back on our heals.
"Let's do without," we agreed.
"Take yesterday, for instance,"
continued Miss Conover, in a voice
of one given the public ear after
long suffering in silence, "My menu
had to be complete!" changed at
the last moment simply because the
food promised by the grocer did not
arrive. And to be able to plan even
a day in advance is awful."
We both sighed.
"Now we can get chicken, but
the meat crisis is making a great
demand and doubtless it will be
harder and harder to get. We can't
even get Spam and for such a sim-
ple dish as rice and chile, we can't
get rice. So we have to give you
plain chile. Even soup requires
soup stock and there isn't any.
Cheese and macaroni is a pretty
good substitute but before lorg
we'll be look:ng for substitutes for
substitutes."
"Green vegetables are fairly
plent'ful. although we cook now
pretty much without meat season-
ing or pepper. There is no pepper
either."
"The sugar shortage is making
canned fruit very scarce and mar-
malades, once so plentiful, are no
longer on the market."
"Even beans, the most availab'e
of all meat substitutes, are gone."
She paused for breath.
We asked in a wee vo'ce, "What
about that goood chipped beef with
milk gravy on toast?"
Again she sighed, gave us a look
of compassion and replied that
there had not been any chipped
beef since the war and no gravy
sirce grease went with the meat.
We graciously thanked the lady,
tightened our belt, and silently
trudged home.
The world is made up of a con-
struction gang and a wrecking
crew.
Honored In Dramatics
Anne Adams (senior), and Jim
Messimer (sophomore), were re-
cently invited to tryout for mem-
bership in the Eta Lamba cast of
the Alpha Psi Omega, a national
honorary dramatic fraternity. Both
passed the required examinations
and were granted full membership.

Milligan's Spirit Comes To the Front
An Editorial
A serious crime would be committed if no acknowledge-
ment were made of the recent campaign conducted for a
new name for this newspaper. A school spirit, apparently
dormant in so many hearts, was fanned by an inapparent
few still carrying the torch, into a contagiously consuming
flame that began to warm the editor's chair. To you who hold
so deeply to everything that Milligan was, Milligan is, and
that Milligan promises to become; to you who thrill at the
sight of the old water wheel, and moan at the sound of the
last bell in Hardin Hall; to you who truly believe in all that
Milligan represents, we obediently, respectfully, and reverent-
ly dedicate this and all succeeding issues of THE STAMPEDE.
It was nothing short of an inspiration to see the response
to our paper naming contest. The intention of the staff was
to give the paper a name that might more fully eulogize the
spirit of Milligan. After viewing the response, we are con-
vinced that there is none better than the name STAMPEDE.
To change the name would be violating a most sacred trust
inherited from former students who made the Milligan we
have today. To some who have passed through its halls of
learning, there are inerasable memories of times that can
never be repeated, only remembered. To eradicate these
symbols would destroy a faith. Say what you wish call it
foolish sentimentalism if you want. And if you should label
it as such, then your life must be devoid of the pleasurable
events that give a true depth to life.
As your newspaper staff, we give you THE STAMPEDE. It
is our hope and earnest desire that you will come along with
us to make this the best year yet for THE STAMPEDE. Only
through giving our best can we ever hope to receive the
best.

Christian Endeavor
The meetings of the Milligan
Christian Endeavor have been con-
sistently good this year both in
attendance and interest. This
group meets every Sunday evening
at 6 o'clock in the Hopwood Mem-
orial Church on the campus.
One of the new features intro-
duced to the meetings this year is
the memory verse plan whereby a
new scripture verse is learned each
week. At the close of the meeting,
printed copies of the verse are at-
tached to the society's topic cards.
Bob Elliott is president; Paul
Bauer, vice president; Grace Lang,
secretary-treasurer.
Christian Service Club Helps
In Evangelistic Meeting
The Christian Service Club
went to Boone's Creek, Monday
evening to assist in opening a
revival meeting at the Boone's
Creek church.
Several young people had part
in the praise service which was
led by President Elliott. Paul
Bauer read the scripture lesson
and Paul Nourse led in prayer.
Betty Williams and Grace Lang
sang. The group also sang a
special number. Mr. Lewis is do-
ing the preaching during the
meeting.
Jim Messimer is president of
the club; John Hasty, is vice
president and Martha Bunton is
secretary- treasurer.
Dramatic Club Casts Play
The Milligan College Players
have completed casting a new-
play — "The Showoff" and are
to begin rehearsals immediately.
The cast will be officially an-
nounced in a few days by Dr.

Ellen Austin's new theme song:

Is it the new books or the new
librarian that makes the library
so popular with the boys this year?
Girls from the tropics find the
water wheel fascinating even in
the daytime.
Even without normal intellgenee
Ed Laws claims to have learned a

Harvey Powell was overheard re-

fast line: "The body systems are
circulatory, respiratory and dormi-
tory."
There is a wild rumor that Lee's
and Vernon's interests are not pure-

will between the north and the
south.
Mary Evans has discovered that
one isn't always bored by spending
Saturday evening on the campus.
Which will it be Eva, John or
Paul?
"Porky" believes in learning
Spanish the practical way; with
two instructors he should learn in

It would be saving so much heart-

Witnesses at the Taylor-Goddard

A LETTER TO THE GIRLS
Milligan College
Dear Girls:
There has been a delay in the
arrival of the G. I. subsistence
checks this month. So when
your beau suggests one dip of ice
cream on a rone, don't arch
your eyebrows, or when he asks
you to share a candy bar don't
get haughty, 'cause sister he's
almost broke! Our dear Untie
has delayed our allowance but
we promise that as soon as it ar-
rives, we'll put you back on the
double-dip standard and indivi-
dual candy bars. So please bear
with us.
Sincerely faithful
to the last penny,
Your Joe.

SCHOOL SPIRIT
School spirit . . . something that
we have little of. Why? Because
most of us would rather sit back
and point with pride at our college
and say, "I go there," and at the
same time do nothing to build the
spirit that pride is based upon.
How many of us were down at the
gym last Friday morning to send
the football team off to a victory
over Guilford at Greensboro, N. C?
Who in our ranks can say that
they know each one of the football
players by sight? It makes a game
ten times more interesting if you
can know who made or missed a
tackle. It is that sort of thing that
creates school spirit.
Too many of us diagnose the sick
school spirit without attempting a
cure. Only after we have earnest-
ly tried and then failed in our at-
tempts to remedy the malady can
we complain. Then, and only then,
let us raise in unison our voice of
objection.
Tomorrow night we play Carson-
Newman at Kingsport, and it
should be a tough game. If YOU
want our team to! win, be there. Be
there 100 per cent. Bring your
school spirit with you, and when
the invitation is given for all those
from Milligan to stand up and hol-
ler—STAND UP. Let every one
know that you are from Milligan
and are as good as anyone there,
and have a football team that is a
little better than Carson-Newman.
Here is a way that we can all
help the crowded situation exist-
ing in our classrooms. Keep the
noise in the halls at a minimum.
When an instructor allows you to
leave his class early, do it quietly.
Postpone any exaltation that free-
dom may precipitate until you
reach the outside door. Let us
store up that exuberance for the
football games. We could well use
a little more.
Again, it is just a matter of do-
ing unto others what you would
have them do unto you. Remember
that fellow in the classroom.
NEW SCHEDULE FOR
STUDENT UNION
A new schedule for the Milligan'
College Student Union building has

sions have been made to allow the
• girls to patronize the store in the
evenir.g twice weekly. On Monday
they may use the store between
9:00 and 10:00 p. m., and on Fri-
day after the movies for approxi-
mately one-haif hour. Tentative
arrangements have been made to
open between 9:00 and 10:00 p. m.
on Sundays and for a short time
following football games. With the
reappearance of meat on the mar-
ket more hot dogs and hamburgers
will be obtainable than has been
found in the past.

Some day, if we are smart, a

LET THERE BE MUSIC AT
MILLIGAN
A critical stage in the life of
the Milligan College Choir devel-
oped last week when the freshmen
class elections interfered with choir
practice. Since both gatherings
could not take place at the same
time, Prof. Warner, choir director,
canceled choir practice and an-
nounced that there would be no
more practice until the schedule
could be arranged so as not to in-
terfere with the choir. Consequent-
ly, it has been announced that, in
the future, no meetings will be
scheduled on Mondays and Wed-
nesdays during the chapel hour,
and furthermore, the auditorium is
exclusively assigned to the choir
during these periods. Milligan Col-
lege will have a choir.

STUDENTS ACCOMPANY
TEAM TO CULLOHWEE
Four bus loads of hilarious stu-
dents in holiday mood set out
from Milligan College Saturday
.morning, October 19, at 8:00 to
see the Buffs trample WCTC at
Cullohwee, North Carolina, 140
miles across the Great Smokies.
Four bus loads of animated
corpses were observed in a zombie
procession to Hardin Hall some 20
hours, 275 miles, one touchdown
and a million jolts later.
As seemingly lifeless bodies
were carried from the buses, such
comments were overheard as "great
little trip," "what a game," "tell
mother I died happy." One ex-
G. I. was overheard gasping to a
companion that this was really it.
John Walker on the other hand
complained bitterly that he was
completely unaware of the pas-
sage of time and was not ready
to get off the bus.
Miss Judy Skeen asked your re-
porter to please take her to the
dormitory and exclaimed that she
had been taken for a ride.
Mrs. Conover furnished ample
lunches from the school dining
room to be taken along. Stops
were made at Clingman's Dome,
the Cherokee Village and Ashe-
ville. Yes, it was a great little
trip, I guess.
ROMEO, WHERE ART THOU
The Milligan College Players
have an adequate supply of Juliets,
but there is a definite shortage of
Romeos. The gentlemen should
consider the fact that actors are
the highest salaried people in the
country and who knows, a part in
a Milligan play might lead to a
Hollywood contract, and besides,
there are some very pretty lassies
in the club who need leading men.
After all, "The world — and we are
merely actors, etc."
The Milligan College Drill Team
will earn its title tomorrow night
at Kingsport, weather permitting.
The team is composed of 28 beau-
tiful Milligan co-eds and is under
the direction of Miss Constance
Mynatt of the Physical Education
department. Kermit Hall, former
staff sergeant in the U. S. infan-
try, is drillmaster.

Milligan Topples Carson-Newman In Thrilling

In sixty minutes of thrilling football at Kingsport last Sat-

Bowl. The 20 to 7 victory over Carson-Newman means that
Milligan will play in the Burley Bowl at Johnson City on
Thanksgiving, probably against Catawba or Guilford, either
one of whom will be hard to beat. It also means about nine

OUR BEST
Mid-semester examinations are
passed. As we all pause to sigh,
let us also stop to do a little in-
trospection. This is the last real
opportunity that we shall have to
make an analysis of ourselves. We
are moving into the last half, the
half that will spell for us victory —
or defeat. "HAVE I DONE MY
BEST?"
Have you done all that you are
capable of doing? Have you util-
ized intelligently all of your time?
You who are ex-G. I.'s ... do you
still have all those dreams that
you so carefully built when you
were miles from home? What are
you doing toward their realistic
creation? Simply ask vourself . . .
"CAN I DO BETTER?"
We are playing a game, a game
against an opponent who never
errs and never overlooks our er
rors. The player on the other side
is hidden from us. We know that
his play is always fair, just, and pa-
tient, yet he never makes the
smallest allowance for our ignor-
ance. Success lies toward perfec-
tion!
Success is given to the man who
plays the best!
"WILL I DO MY BEST?"
The target lies over the hill; and
the longer the range, the higher
the sights are raised.
"I SHALL DO MY BEST?"
Our sick school spirit at last
Saturday night's game showed def-
inite improvement. However, like
any other sickness, a remedy does
not work over night. It must be
doctored. Continual treatment
must be administered to effect a
complete cure. Let's keep improv-
ing until we can take a good
healthy school spirit to the Burley
Bowl.
FROM ONE EX-G. I. TO
ANOTHER
(Anonymous)
Fellers above all things, I don't
claim to be a writer, nor do I think
this is going to be a hit, yet I feel
a definite need to say a few things
here.
Yes, we are back in school —
something that many of us never
thought could happen again. To
me it's unbelievable — so wonderful
to take up where I left off so many
years ago. And I know all us
boys, who chomped through that
black mud to our waists in New
Guinea, and hacked our way up
those steaming gulches in Burma
not two years ago, prayed to God
to see them through, appreciate
this too.
Now you wonder just why all
these personal memoirs (you say
wasn't it enough to experience
that; must we undergo that again!)
Surely the man is mad — what's his
point?
Without trying to be melo-
dramatic or heroic, the point is
this: Whether it reads good or not,
whether you scoff doesn't matter,
but I for one left many a poor G.
I. back there — the salt of the earth.
1 was lucky — he wasn't. But, fel-
lers, inwardly I know that G. I.
expects me to carry on for him.
He — if he were here, would want
to know if I were giving my best
to that for which he died.
Now I'm here, beautiful campus,
pretty girls, civies — everything.
Am I going to soften up, dissipate
my time, be content with the froils
of life again. I say no — I owe
something to those boys and now
in my small way am trying to be
worthy to carry on where they left
off. May God help me!

WRESTLING TEAM WILL
BEGIN TRAINING
Milligan's first wrestling team
since the college returned to civ-
ilian life will begin training next
week. The team wll be under the
direction of Professor Boyadjis.
The wrestling instructor has had
a great deal of experience in this
field of activity. He was on the
teams of Bethany and Wesleyan
Colleges. At the University of
Wisconsin he was runner up for
the school championship. Profes-
sor Boyadjis was also freshman
coach at the University of Penn-
sylvania.
Basketball Training
In Full Swing
It was a "happy" Coach Brown
that inaugurated the opening of the
basketball training for the coming
year. It might be added that he
has a right to be joyous, for back
this year are seven of last season's
lettermen, plus four of the men
who played the '42 schedule.
Last year's lettermen who are
back for duty this winter are Clif-
ton Stevens, Sherman Warren. Paul
Griz, Bill Humphries, Bob Elliot,
Bill Allen, Claude Holsclaw and
Carl Matherly. Dude Williams, Carl
Sheppard and Harry Fine, from the
season of '42.
There was a total of twenty-five
men who reported for the initial
workouts, which consisted of ele-
mentary drills, limbering up exer-
cises and a short bull session by
Coach Brown.

Nation Celebraies
Education Week
Comprehensive Program
Presented Locally
In case you didn't know it, this
is American Education Week.
Throughout the nation this week
is being observed as a time to fa-
miliarize ourselves with the edu-
cational program in the United
States. In this stage of our his-
tory it is very important that our
educational system be extended
and improved wherever possible.
Our people must be educated for
the preservation of peace or they
will have to be educated for war.
We have found an instrument to
destroy the world; now we must
find one to prevent the world's
destruction.
The theme for education week
is "Education For the Atomic
Age."
In connection with American
Education Week three students
from Milligan presented a four and
one-half minute skit this week
over station WJHL, Johnson City.
The theme of the broadcast was
"Building Sound Health." The
three who participated were Luth-

Keeping Up With
Our President
To have been able to keep
apace with President Elliott this
past week would have been a dif-
ficult task for anyone. Since he
left Milligan, he has been to Co-
lumbus, Indiana, Cincinnati, Akron,
and Canton, Ohio.
In spite of his extensive travels,
he somehow managed to get back
to Athens by Saturday night to see
the Buffs trample Tennessee Wes-
leyan. To him is due the credit
of informing the Milliganites, who
remained on the campus last Sat-
urday night, of our victory of
which we were well aware when
the old bell rang out about twelve
o'clock midnight.
President Elliott journeyed to
Chattanooga Sunday where he
preached and returned home the
first of the week.
Freshmen Have Them
From 76 To 40
This year the Freshman class
has the honor of claiming not only
the youngest student at Milligan,
but also the oldest.
Dorla Dean Livingston from
Norton, Virgir.ia, wears the title
of being the youngest student en-
rolled at Milligan College. Dorla
was born in Jenkins, Kentucky, on
August 20, 1930. She was grad-
uated from Norton High School
last spring and enrolled at Mil-
ligan in September. Soon after
her arrival here, she was selected
as one of our cheerleaders.
Since Jean Etta Barnes escaped
this honor by just one day, having
been born on August 19, 1930, it
seems that she, also, deserves spe-
cial mer.tion. Jean was born in
Detroit, Michigan, and was grad-
uated from Happy Valley High
School. She is a member of the
Christian Church.
Milligan's oldest student is Stuart
Kesner Widner of 1611 West Sul-
livan street, Kingsport, Tennessee.
He was born on November 18, 1906,
in Chilhowie, Virginia, and attend-
ed high school there. He is also
a member of the Christian Church.
Milligan Tackles
Appalachian Sat.
Buffs Wind Up
Season Tomorrow
Last Saturday night the Milligan
Buffaloes won an exciting ball
game from Tennessee Wesleyan at
Athens, Tenn., by a score of 12 to 7.
The winning score came in the last
45 seconds of play on two consecu-
tive passes from Holsclaw to God-
dard. Coach Brown sent Goddard
in at end to replace Bill Allen..
On the touchdown play Holsclaw
received the ball from center and
faded back to pass. At first he
couldn't find a receiver and was
retreating rapidly to avoid would-
be tacklers when he saw his
chance, leaped in the air and drop-
ped the ball into Goddard's arms
in the end zone.
Tomorrow Milligan will play
Appalachian Teachers of North
Carolina in the toughest game of
the season so far, with the pos-
sible exception of Guilford. Ap-
palachian won a game from High
Point by one touchdown. We un-
derstand the game has been moved
ahead to 8:00 o'clock instead of the
afternoon as originally scheduled.
The Buffaloes will need all the
support they can get tomorrow
night. The game is to be played
at Elizabethton.
This is the last regularly sched-
uled game of the season. So far
Milligan has won five, lost two
and tied one.
The Maryville team let it leak
out thai they should be the ones
to play in the Burley Bowl, as they
were the best team. Coach Brown
invited them to play for the Bur-
ley bid on Nov. 23 or 24, but they
replied that they could not play
then as they had another game
scheduled. Consequently, Milligan
will play in the Burley Bowl, as
previously announced.
Amy Chapman's brother, Ralph
Chapman, who is stationed at Fort
Jackson, S. C, visited Amy over
the week-end.

What Will It Be?
The time is not so far distant
when all Americans are going to
be forced to state their beliefs,
either pro or con, for the Ameri-
can Democratic form of govern-
ment. There can be no bipartisan,
no undecided; only those with an
intelligent, honest belief. We shall
be forced to discover our belief,
state our belief, and back them up
with, force if necessary. It is time
that we took our head out of the
sand, and looked around to see
what a vulnerable target we have
become for those who seek to de-
stroy our mode of living.
Another war is imminent if we
refuse to take off our complacency,
our self-security, and our rose-col-
ored glasses through which we see
only a Utopia for tomorrow. There
are no Utopias: people only en-
vision them when their minds be-
come stagnant.
We must come to realize that
there are subversive factions (pos-
sibly over magnified sometimes)
attempting to destroy our govern-
mental system. Principally among
these are the Communists. Label
them anything you want, radicals,
proletariats, but recognize them!
They are organized and deter-
mined. Karl Marx, in the Com-
munist Manifesto, has this to say:
"In one word, you reproach us
with intending to do away with
your property. Precisely so; that
is just what we intend.
"The Communists disdain to con-
ceal their views and aims. They
openly declare that their ends can
be attained only by the forcible
overthrow of all existing social con-
ditions. Let the ruling classes
tremble at a Communistic revolu-
tion. The proletarians have noth-
ing to lose but their chains. They
have a world to win."
Let us wake up our minds, and
make up our minds.
Professor Lowry
Denies Rumors
Rumors of a double grading sys-
tem in primary accounting were
emphatically denied today by Prof.
Roy J. "Zeke" Lowry, when ques-
tioned by Stampede reporters.
"I use one and only one system
of grading, regardless of age, na-
tionality or sex. I am absolutely
impartial," stated the irate pro-
fessor as he leaned from his of-
fice at Pardee Hall to whistle ap-
preciatively at a passing co-ed.
"This insidious propaganda is
started by my enemies to discredit
my teaching."
To our queries concerning his
past, Prof. Lowry said: "I should
be pleased to give you the story of
my life were it not that in a few
moments I have a class and must
make out my seating arrangement.
Here he launched into a rather
complicated discourse on the non-
receptivity of the feminine mind
and the necessity of putting the
"feminine mind" closer to the head
of the class.
We, meanwhile, jolted down
such facts as the professor's birth-
day, June 30, 1923, in Memphis,
Tennessee; his graduation from
CBC High School; his year at U-T
in preparation for entering Milli-
gan College in the fall of '45.
We added as an after thought
that ''Zeke's" classes are very pop-
ular, so is "Zeke," and so is his
best girl, "Mabel."
Mr. and Mrs. Sid Rice have as
their guest Mrs. Rice's brother, Al-
bert Sissom, who has just returned
from the Pacific.
Buffalo Captain Is Tough But Gentle
He's the pep. He's the steam. Yes, it's James Nathan
Harmon, captain of the big Milligan Buffalo football team.
Tipping the scales at just under 205 pounds, big Jim is a very,
very ominous customer in a ball game, as is attested by the
casualty rate among opposing players.
"I'm rough," says Jim, "but, oh, so gentle."
True it is that despite his horsepower, Jim is one of the
most retiring men on the campus. In the company of his
henchmen, Spraker and Pardue, he ib usually observed just
at sundown heading toward Forbes' and a quart or so of
sweet milk.
When questioned on personal preferences, Harmon ex-
pressed a love for sack time, football, and Saturday night.
"Women? Uh uh!" he exclaimed. "They don't understand
me."
Jim. another notable from "the county," was born at Nor-
ton, Va., "several years ago." He moved to Blackwood, Va.,
and attended High School in Appalachia, much to the sorrow
of subsequent Norton football teams. In 1940, after four
years of Varsity ball and with a sheep skin tucked under
his arm, Jim forsook the coal fields for higher education,
via the Milligan College route. Here, save for three years
in the Air Corps, he has been ever since.
When questioned on his war record. Jim said simply, "I
was the man behind the man behind the man." but further
furtive snoopng reveals that he was a crew chief in a B-29
sauadron and probably a kev man in the Japanese collapse.
Despite his "no comment" when ouestioned on future nlans,
Jim is working hard on his Phvsical Education in preparation
for winning football teams in the future.

Music of The Stream
By "ALABAMA" LEE
(There will be some who will
argue the poetical merit of this
poem, but if you know "Bama"
you should enjoy it.)
Music in a stream is so sweet
Because the ripple has a nice little
beat.
The flow of the stream has a rill
To give the onlookers their ever-
loving thrill.
To make a study of nature by a
stream
Makes a person believe he is in
paradise or a lovely dream.
If love was as great as the flow
of a stream
Then sweethearts love would for-
ever beam.
Streams can become rivers
If only people could become such
givers;
We have to give as well as take
To accomplish something that we
wish to make.
See the rocks and sand
As the stream .gives out for the
people's demand,
Little stream, your music is so
sweet,
It is something that bears to re-
peat.
With your ripples and waves play-
ing so great a game,
My dear little friend you have
made fame.
Some people like symphony, swing,
boogie, jazz, and music that
is sweet,
But you, my dear friend, have the
music that can't be beat.
Human music lives and dies,
But your's will remain as the years
have sung their sweet good-
byes.
BACHELOR'S CLUB
PLANS FEAST
The Milligan College Confirmed
Bachelors Club is placing a ban-
quet for this coming Monday eve-
ning. The definite location for the
banquet has not been selected. An
interesting program is being plan-
ned by the recreation committee.
The club lost several of its char-
ter members at the last meeting.
They have advertised their avail-
ability among Milligan co-eds, but
as everyone knows they have never
been unavailable.
SINGING ISN'T PLAY,
SAYS WARNER
Music Director Believes
In Practice
To the uninitiated the concerted
series of long, mournful notes is-
suing from the auditorium almost
any day of the week might be
slightly bewildering, but not to
Professor E. Gordon Warner, mu-
sical director, to whom such sounds
are but the prelude to beautiful
music.
"It takes that and lots of it,"
he said, "to be able to sing even
the simplest number." He should
know.
Professor Warner, before ac-
cepting his present position at
Milligan College, directed the Mad-
ison High School choir, which
placed in the Northeastern District
of Ohio Contest five consecutive
times and took first place once.
This choir sang on a nation-wide
radio hook-up and attended the
National Music Week program at
Kent State University.
The professor was affiliated with
the Congregational Church Choir,
Geneva, Ohio, and was assistant
conductor of the Lake County Civic
Orchestra.
As his most unusual position
Professor Warner related some of
his experiences while playing with
the Ringling Brothers Circus Band.
"We were the last to leave the
burning big top during the great
Hartford circus fire," said the pro-
fessor. "My love of adventure was
completely satisfied right there."
Mrs. Warner, accompanist for
the choir, is a pianist of no small
note in her own right. She grad-
uated from Dana's Musical Insti-
tute, did graduate work under Sid-
ney Silber in Chicago, and studied
organ in Akron, Ohio. She is
teaching Harmony, Voice, Public
School Music, and piano here at
Milligan.
Professor Warner brings enthu-
siasm and optimism to the job. He
is an exacting task master. "I
would rather have two interested
applicants than a dozen excuse
makers," said the professor; and
he meant it. Under his direction
the 31 members; 13 men, 18 wom-
en; practice five times weekly,
more if necessary — and no foolish-
ness!
Their first performance was the
musical program arranged for the
The Voice Of Milligan
This week we give the girls a
chance to say what they think
about the young men of this
school.
Pauline Mullins thinks the boys
around here are pretty . . . fresh!
Then true to life, for Pauline, that
is, she said.
"I think the boys are very nice
but they are no comparison to a
certain Johnny in Pennsylvania."
Dottie Gurley let her opinion out
before she was even asked. She
said:
"I don't mind them so much
sin«e I found out in Biology class
that they are considered as hu-
man beings . . . just in a scientific
sense, of course."
Eddie Barnes overheard that
statement and came back at her
with this:
"Dot's just mad 'cause the
boys don't have Miss Jones as a
guardian angel as she does."
Miss Cross was stopped in the
chow line and answered the ques-
tion by saying:
"There is a fine bunch of boys
here. I think they are all just
swell." At that time a guy whose
last handle is Walker, went stroll-
ing by. The rest of her interview
was nothing but a long deep sigh. t
Flossie thinks the boys are kind'a
cute, but then her heart is some-
where else.
DR. BRADING GUEST
SPEAKER OF PRE-MED CLUB
Dr. Brading, diagnostician, was
the guest speaker at last night's
regular meeting of the Milligan
Pre-Med Club. Dr. Brading spoke
on methods and problems that con-
front the diagnostician today.
Refreshments were served to con-
clude the evening's program. Eloise
Griffith is "in charge of club pro-
grams.
home-coming. This week (Novem-
ber 12) they sang for the Johnson
City Rotary Club, and just before
the Christmas holidays, a full pro-
gram of Christmas music is plan-
ned.
In connection with the choir a
brass quartet is being organized,
consisting of a trombone, tuba,
French horn, and trumpet. The
four instruments will perform with
the band as well as independently.

Coach Ray Brown will send his

game of the season. The students
of Milligan are due for a break,
as the game is going to be played
on the home floor.
Coach Brown is very well
pleased with the team's prospects
this year, and said:
"The toughest job I have is to
pick the best fifteen men. There
are twenty-five players out now,
with several good prospects from
the football team due to be out at
the close of the gridiron season.
These include such notables as Bob
Elliot and Harry Fine. Due to
the fact that football boys won't
be able to attend practice for a
couple weeks yet. In all fairness
to them, I don't intend to cut the
squad until I have seen what they
can do."
On a radio show last Sunday a

Appy Axed Burley Bowl Is Next
Highly Tooted Appalachian Scuttled;
Big Things Planned for Burley Classic
Before 2,000 excited football
fans, the Milligan Buffaloes cinched
definitely and finally the Burley
Bowl bid for this section. At a
meeting of the football team it
was decided to relinquish the Bowl
bid if Milligan lost the Appalach-
ian game, but as Appalachian was
defeated the Buffs go on to the
Thanksgiving clash against South-
eastern Louisiana Teachers of
Hammon, La.
The "Raiders" from Louisiana
are one of the very few undefeat-
ed, untied teams in the nation.
"Litkenhouse" has given the bayou
boys a 25-point advantage in his
nation-wide survey of college
teams, but the Milligan football
team won't give them any advan-
tages.
The president of the Chamber of
Commerce in Johnson City has es-
timated that 10,000 fans will be
on hand Thanksgiving afternoon
for the big game. Prices of seats
range from $3 for reserved seats
to $1.10 for bleachers. There is
no reduction of prices for students,
but Milligan will have 500 seats set
aside for its use.
Many added attractions have
been planned for the occasion, in-
cluding a parade of floats, a heli-
copter show titled the "Landing of
Old Saint Nick," and a perform-
a: ce by a group of Cherokee In-
dians. The Chamber of Commerce
is trying to obtain Ted Malone for
the broadcast of the event.
Plans are being made to enter a
float from Milligan in the parade.
The float will be a big buffalo
with a Milligan queen to brighten
it up.

Fred I. Gardner, minister of the

Only Two "A" Students
The registrar's office reports
that Claude Calloway and Leon
Carpenter have an "A" average for
the first half semester. Both are
carrying fifteen and a half hours.
Claude is a Bible major and a "Tar
Heel." Leon is a pre-med student
and a married man.
Congratulations to both of you.
So Sorry, No
Thanksgiving Vocation
There is to be no Thanksgiving
vacation. Dean Wood explains the
matter by stating that many of -the
students would not have time to
go home because of the distance.
He also explains that since the
Christmas vacation is only a month
away, a Thanksgiving vacation is
really impractical.
BUS TO CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Students! Please take advantage
of the special bus to the First
Christian Church in Johnson City
on Sunday night. This bus leaves
the campus promptly at seven

after the evening services. There
are no charges.

Thursday morning chapel was
given over to the showing of the

Exclusive Pajama
Party Crashed
Under the able direction of Mrs.
Grace Stollar, a very enjoyable pa-
jama party was held in the main
parlor of Hardin Hall, from 10:00
until 11:30, Thursday night, Nov.
14. About sixty girls were pres-
ent in a gay variety of sleeping
garments, ranging from the de-
cidedly masculine to the decidedly
feminine.
The decoration committee, head-
ed by Betty Ruth Williams, was
responsible for such atrocities as
the sign over the refreshment
table: "Due to current shortages
this party is necessary," or the
none too subtle, "Hopson get the
Broome," "No men allowed" (un-
necessary admonition), and "Eat,
drink, and be merry, for tomorrow
we may diet."
Lights were "turned low, a fire
blazed dreamily on the hearth.
Songs ranging in sentiment from
"Them Bones Shall Rise Again," to
"White Christmas," were sung, in-
terspersed with readings and hu-
morous sketches.
At 10 o'clock a dazed Stampede
photographer and a snooping re-
porter arrived, and in spite of their
sex (male) they were royally dined
and sent on their way with a head
full of superlative headlines and a
camera full of double exposures.
Refreshments, arranged by Miss
Rosemary Ross and Miss Gwen
Green, consisted of stacks of sand-
wiches, cookies, piles of nuts, and
plenty of cokes.

A majority of us are willing
to criticize anything or any-

quest, but so few of us are
willing to do anything con-
structive to improve the
things we so willingly crit-
icize. Those of us who were
in the armed forces developed
a healthy habit for criticism.
We saw many things we
thought was wrong, and the
only thing we could do was
gripe, and, brother, we did
gripe. But things are differ-
ent now; we can do some-

think are wrong.
The extra-curricular activi-
ties, which are a part of col-
lege life at Milligan, are by
and for the students of Mil-
ligan College. There are
many who criticize every
phase of these activities, but
do not seem willing to help
improve them.- A very small
percentage of the students
take part in all activities;
they do their best, and re-
ceive a lot of advice, but not
much help from the rest.
Anyone who thinks he knows
what should be done should
be willing to help do it.
In the case of this little
newspaper, any student who
believes he can help improve
our rjaner is invited — no, not
invited, but begged — to get
in contact with the editor or
any of the staff immediately.
Much credit is due Ernest
Godsey for his efforts in ar-
ranging the broadcasts in
Elizabethton and Johnson
City in connection with the
Appalachian game last week.
Thanks are due also for his
untiring efforts in soliciting
money and materials for the
pep rallies and decorations.
o
VISITORS TO THE CAMPUS
The students of Milligan enjoyed
the visits of several parents and
friends during the past week.
Among the visitors were Mr. and
Mrs. Cross of Fordtown, Tennes-
see; Mrs. Grubbs, Mr. and Mrs.
Gardner from Middletown, Ken-
tucky; Mr. and Mrs. Medsker, Hills-
boro, Ohio; Mr. Johnson, Mr. Rob-
inson, Mr. Fredina and Qhester
Fleming from Pennsylvania.
Mr. Gardner is pastor of the
North Middletown Christian
Church, Kentucky; Mr. Robinson is
pastor at Tarentum, Pa., and Mr.
Fredina, minister to the River
Hill Christian Church near Monon-
gahela, Pa.
SO THEY SAY
Frank Spraker: "She looked as
though she had been asked to go
some place, and couldn't go."
Joe Crain: "What's this, what's
this?"
Julia Lynch: "Aw, shut up."
Zeke Lowry: "How're you all?"
Worse yet —
Ralph McClurd: "How are
younse?"
Virginia Owens, verifying a
statement: "If I had to die."
Prof. Boyadjis: "I give you what?
F." And later, "I have good news
for you; everyone passed. . . ."
Prof. Ford: "Hell-o, Mr. Mont-
gomery, is that right?"
Bob Showalter's reply to an un-
reasonable demand, "Jumping Je-
hesaphat's grandmother; I won't
do it!"
Dean Jones: "Enough of any-
thing is too much."
Mattie Kimehelse has her daily,
"Goodnite, kids, he's cute!"
CONSIDERATE
"What's the big idea wearing my
raincoat?"
"It's raining. You wouldn't want
your suit to' get all wet, would you?"
MissW...

P
"Go out, you cub," our ever irate
editor said, "and get the scoop on
this hot tip. Forget about upper
class stuff. This is news which,
if true, will bring great sadness
to many and blight a multitude
of budding romances. I speak
naturally of ," but I needed no
further prodding. Leaving his
voice droning, I dashed for Cheek
Hall.
"Tell me, Miss W ," I began,
but I got no further. "Yes, it is
true," she interrupted sadly. "The
stuff is all over the place and I
am absolutely crushed. All my
plans for a beautiful college ca-
reer have vanished. Why, I'm
even afraid to get off the path be-
tween here and Hardin. It's dread-
ful," she continued, without prod-
ding, "and these rules! I seem to
always be doing something wrong."
Here we interrupted to ask if she
were not from Bluefield, W. Va.,
born in '26, graduate of Bluefield
High in '46, and following her sis-
ter's footsteps at Milligan.
"Very true," she said disinter-
estedly, as she glanced at her
watch. "And now if you'll please
leave, I have one of those campus
classes coming up." Nameless pro-
fessor.
We shook our graying Jocks wise-
ly and plodded off through the
poison vines.
(Editor's note: Girls, keep off
the football field, or you, too, may
find yourself confined with poison
ivy rash.)

THE STAMPEDE
Page 3.
Give
em a
Hand
Members of the triumphant Mil-
ligan football squad rolled back
from the 6-0 Appalachian victory
at Betsy last Saturday and patted
several hard-working fellows on
the back.
Said Jack Caldwell, center, from
Pulaski, Virginia, "George Creasy,
"Lefty" Fraley and old man God-
sey deserve some credit and I'd
like to see them get it."
We think so, too, and here's why.
The tremendously successful rally
in front of Pardee Hall was engi-
neered by them. The Big Parade
was their idea. Radio time on two
successive days and on three dif-
ferent programs was due to their
efforts. They raised enough money
from the boys for decorations and
the girls cooperated splendidly;
just sitting up until the wee hours
making "whooses" of orange and
black streamers and then readying
the 17 autos for the parade.
Bill Carico, the smooth voiced
sports announcer and front man
for the Milligan Buffs was M. C.
at the Pardee rally. Girls from
Cheek and Hardin were busily
about marking "Beat Appalachian"
on conspicuous corners. In short,
Milligan had the spirit, the coopera-
tion and the team that wins ball
games.
The same thing is being planned
for next week, only more of it.
Everyone is urged to give his com-
plete cooperation.
SNAPSHOT CONTEST
Winners of the big 1947 Buffalo
Snapshot Contest will be an-
nounced at an early date, accord-
ing to sources close to Buffalo
Headquarters. The contest office,
despite early lamentations, has ad-
mitted that never in Buffalo his-
tory has there been such a deluge
of good pictures.
"We have plenty of pictures;
plenty of good pictures," said the
editor, "and we wish to assure the
students that any not used will be
returned as soon as possible."
The three prizes will be award-
ed as soon as deliberations, now in
progress, are completed. The pic-
tures themselves will be kept un-
der cover until released in the year
book.
Big Parade
Seventeen colorfully decorated
automobiles packed with cheering
students took Elizabethton and
Johnson City by storm Saturday
afternoon, November 16, in a pa-
rade that made local history.
After receiving a "patrol escort
on the outskirts of town, the shout-
ing, horn-tooting calvacade moved
in for fifteen minutes of radio
time over both WJHL and WBEJ.
Cheer leaders made with the noise
while various campus notabilities,
including no less than President
Elliott himself, expressed the unan-
imous opinion of Milligan College
as to who would win the night's
game.
Leaving the two cities, the pa-
rade returned to the campus in
time to greet the Appalachian foot-
ball club, who were amazed at the
spirit shown. Older students at
Milligan stated that never had they
seen such enthusiasm. Tentative
plans are underway for a repeti-
tion on the day of the Big Burley.
Personality Contest
Goes Smoothly
Thursday morninig, November
21, the students of the college cast
their ballots in the first popular
election of campus personalities.
Ballots were distributed after
chapel exercises and the voting
was completed by noon.
Don Pearce, in charge of the
contest, expressed his satisfaction
at the balloting. "Tliis is the first
time we've done it this way," he
said, "and I believe that by giving
the students a chance, we select
more truly representative people.
I hope this method can be followed
in the future." He also expressed
his sincere appreciation of the won-
derful cooperation given him in the
contest by various students and by
the special student nomination
committee.
Results of the balloting will be
announced through this paper as
soon as released by the Buffalo
staff.
Last week, Verne and Bob Jor-
dan and Katie King drove the eight
hundred and fifty miles to Har-
rison, Arkansas, for a short visit
home. Martha Noblitt and Anne
Adams accompanied them as far as
Nashville.
Voice of Milligan
This week the VOICE OF MIL-
LIGAN speaks through a new me-
dium, but it still represents a
cross-section of opinion about vital
things and things not so vital.
After the smashing victory of
the Buffs last Saturday night at
Cherokee Field, faint murmurings
began to be heard concerning the
Burley Bowl. So the question un-
der discussion this week gives ev-
erybody a chance to express his
views and also a chance to win a
prize.
The person who predicts the
most nearly correct scores for the
Burley Bowl game will win two
passes to the Bonnie Kate Theater
in Elizabethton for one week. Place
your prediction along with your
name in the suggestion box at the
registrar's office no later than noon
November 28.
Although Louisiana stands un-
defeated, the personalities inter-
viewed expressed a great deal of
confidence in Milligan's team. All
are ready and eager to do all they
possibly can to back up the boys
and the college.
Answers varied when the ques-
tion, "What is your prediction of
the score for the Burley Bowl
game?" was discussed. Some of
the team say:
Joe Farrv said, "We'll take 'em
14 to 6."
Rip Miller didn't think we could
make the extra points. He said,
"12 to 7."
Joe Stallard was more confident
with his 19 to 6.
When Bob Elliott failed to come
to a conclusion about the exact
score, he offered this:
"If we're like we were the week
of the Appalachian game, we'll
win."
Halmer Hodge claims he can pre-
dict the score of every ball game
before it begins. With a confident
grin he said he couldn't lose be-
cause "every ball game is 0-0 be-
fore it begins."
So, Buffaloes, take it from there!
This last week-end Prof. Marsh,
Mr. Luke Shepherd, and Byron
Nickels went tramping into the
mountains of Virginia with the one
purpose of shooting deer. Mr.
Shepherd brought back a kill; Prof.
Marsh and Byron Nickels brought
back some tall stories.

The team meets each afternoon
except Saturday at 3:30 for prac-
tice on the field belo%v Professor
Marsh's house.

Big Time In
Cheek Tonight
The women of Cheek Hall have
planned a whooping big party for
tonight following the big football
game this afternoon. All mem-
bers of the football team will be
the honored guests, and admitted
free. Their dates, however, must
have tickets. Party time is 8:00
p. m., and the place is the college
gymnasium. A charge of 35 cents
per person, to cover costs, will be
made at the door.
Variety will be the theme of the
evening's program. Frank Sinatra
will be the featured entertainer
and he has promised to bring his
own troupe. In making his au-
dition for the program, "Frankie"
was very favorably impressed by a
iew Milligan entertainers audition-
ing at the same time. As a result,
by "Frankie's" personal request,
these Milliganites will also be fea-
tured on the evening's bill. These
stars are: Songstress Lois Pettit,
who will sing the opera, "The Lost
Sheep"; the Milligan College Quar-
tet, recently acclaimed as the best
in the South; Two Jesters (identity
unknown): and Johannes Hastyin-
ski, maestro of the piano and re-
cently awarded the Dombell Prize
for his discovery of the lost chord.
George Creasy will ably act as
the evening's Master of Cere-
monies. George will interview each
member of the team, and announce
the player elected as the "Football
King." The "Football King" will
then in turn be requested to choose
at an instance notice his "Queen."
Coach Brown will give away the
football used in the Burley Bowl,
jf no other fan makes away with
it first.
IT'S TOO LATE NOW, "CHUCK"
Miss Leola Phipps and Mr.
Maurice L. Wooten, well known at
Milligan, were married this week
in Norton, Va. "Chuck" will not
be back to Milligan for a few days.

ELIZABETHTON FIRE
ALMOST STOPS STAMPEDE
A fire which started in the base-
ment of the Elizabethton Star and
did extensive damage to the print-
ing plant had the Stampede staff
worried for awhile. The Star does
all our linotype work, and without
the linotype we could not print a
paper. Fortunately, however, the
shop was quickly put back in op-
eration and we were able to have
our work done as scheduled.
Snapshot Winners
A special faculty selection com-
mittee announced through Buffalo
Headquarters that Miss Fats Bundy
took first prize in the photo snap-
shot contest; Miss Clara Ward
Wray, second prize, and Miss Jean
Harris, third. As to the subjects
the editor refused to divulge any
further information. "You'll see
'em in the annual."
Don't Wane, Win
The Burley Bowl
Today is the second game of the
Burley Bowl and the second time
Milligan has been host at the John-
son City classic. Today Milligan
meets one of the very few unde-
feated, untied teams in the coun-
try. If the Buffs are to win, "Rip"
Miller has got to rip, "Holsey" has
got to drop those passes in the
right hole, Rose has got to run,
Showalter has got to show, Stallard
has got to stall them, Carrier has
got to carry the ball, Walker must
walk through them, in other words,
the whole team has got to be on
the ball.
Dean Wood, who has scouted
Southeastern, doesn't think they
are any better than some of the
teams Milligan has met this season.
He did say that they are the fast-
est team the Buffs have been up
against this season.
It was demonstrated at the Ap-
palachian game what school spirit
can do for the team, consequently,
the student body should lend its
whole hearted vocal support to the
boys today. A fine spirit has been
shown in the pep rallies, parades,
and broadcasts prior to the game.
Don't miss the parade of floats
and the extra entertainment which
will take place at the game. Mil-
ligan will .be represented by a
large float carrying a large buffalo
and our Burley Queen, Miss Ann
Voncannon, and her two attend-
ants, Miss Betty Ruth Williams and
Miss Jean Cole.
See you Tonight at the Jamboree
Winners Of Who's Who
In the last week Miss Jean Cole of Eli.-abethton was chosen most
beautiful woman on the campus. Mr. Bill Fortune took the title of
most Handsome man, while Mr. J. A. Penney and Miss Fats Bundy
carried off the Personality Crown.
For Popularity it was "Zeke" Lowry well known in Accounting
and "other" circles and Miss Betty Lou Stratten, "the cover-all girl."
Claude Hosey Holsclaw and Miss Gwen "Coach" Green were
chosen most athletic; Bob Elliot and Nancy Tipton most versatile.
Joe Fair and Martha Lecka were generally acknowledged to be "The
Brains."

Thanksgiving Prayer
GUEST EDITORIAL
By Howard Reese
Our Father which art in Heaven,
we love thee. As we think of our
country, our homes and our many
privileges, dear Lord, we love thee
more.
Thou hast given to us a land that
flows with milk and honey. Thou
hast revealed thy love in the atone-
ment of thy Son for us. Thou hast
permitted us to live in thy memory
from the day our forefathers sailed
from bondage to this land of lib-
erty.
We thank thee, 0 Lord, for such
liberty, where we can come to-
gether and praise thee. May our
country be looked upon from thee
as a garden of prayer. Help us, 0
God, to breathe the breath of life
continually so that our likeness of
God may never cease. Help us to
go a little farther in the garden
of prayer as Jesus did. May the
marching orders of our king be the
constitution of our souls.
We have seen thy faithfulness
through the years; and when each
new morning dawns, we see thy
kindness. We believe, dear Lord,
that it is a good thing to give
thanks unto thee. So help us to
live in the love of the cross and
to abide under the shadow of the
Almighty in Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
The prayer room in the college
is being prepared for use daily in
private devotions.
CHRISTIAN SERVICE PLANS
The Christian Service Club is
planning to remodel, decorate, and
utilize the potentialities found in
the prayer room. We feel a vital
urge and necessity of a quiet hour
for individuals, as well as for our
group.
Should you feel that you want
to have a part in securing new
chairs, pictures and drapes for the
prayer room, see or write James
Messimer, president.
We are receiving "pledges" for
chairs now! Will you help us?
Much depends upon prayer, and
we read "The effectual fervent
prayer of a righteous man availeth
much." James 5:16.
We need more fervent men and
women at prayer. "Christian Edu-
cation Is the Hope of the World."
In answer to the many calls
from surrounding areas for various
types of religious services, the Mil-
ligan Christian Service Group con-
tinues to march to the front.
Dottie Gurley's parents and
brother were visitors on the cam-
pus over the week-end. Mr. Gur-"
ley is employed in the research
laboratories of the Westinghouse
Electric at East Pittsburgh, Pa.
Milligan Quartet
Sings Loud and Long
One of the groups on the cam-
pus, whose praises are much un-
sung, is the male quartet. The five
members of the quartet are: Luther
Stulce, 2nd tenor, who hails from
Harrison, Tenn., and who was for-
merly a member of the University
of Chattanooga choir; Leroy
Wright, 1st tenor, is from Bristol,
Va.; Kenneth Roark, baritone, is
a sophomore from Elizabethton:
Eldon King, bass, comes to us from
Gilbert, Arkansas; Harvey Powell
sings 1st tenor and acts as leader
for the group; and the accompan-
ists are Nannette Tipton and Lee
Albert.
When your reporter questioned
this 'five'-man quartet, each mem-
ber modestly requested to be omit-
ted as being only a substitute. The
fact of the matter is the boys are
all versatile singers, changing parts
and substituting for each other as
the occasion demands.
The quartet has sung before the
soldiers at the Soldiers Home in
Johnson City, at the First Christian
Church in Elizabethton, and at
other churches in this vicinity.
rues! S. §©dsey
Due to holiday and sport material,
the "Buffalo He(a)rd" column nad to
be left out. It will appeaa next week
as usual.
There were mutterings of despair about the campus.
School spirit was at a low ebb. A. strong man was needed
at the helm.
And so it was that on the very eve of the Buffalo battle
with the Mountaineers a stocky, Churchillian figure affec-
tionately known by the appellation of "old man Godsey" as-
sumed command.
This was only three short weeks ago but already his
name is mentioned whenever Milligan personalities enter
campus conversation.
"I don't care for publicity," Godsey told your reporter.
"Want I want to do is to wake these people up. We've
got everything here at Milligan and I want the world to
know it.
Meager facts gleamed from the old mans inscrutable past
reveal his birthplace as Johnson Cily.but as to when the
record doesn't show — nor will he tell. He attended "Science
Hill High, receiving his diploma after his return service.
He served with a special Combat Demolition Engineer
outfit on Attu.
" Iblew myself up," said Godsey when asked about his
experiences and that's all he said.
Teachers College for a year gave Godsey the necessary
background for entering Milligan in February 1946. He now
resides with his books, radio and refrigerator at 315 Pardee
Hall.

Coach Brown
Coach Brown, already hard at work on his basketball
squad, took time off the other day to give us the following
personal history.
He was born at Alexander, Tennessee, in 1912, attended
Lebanon High School,' Lebanon, Tenn., and -Tennessee Poly-
technic Institute at Cookeville. In the spring of 1945 he
received his master's degree from the University of Ten-
nessee.
Coach has always been in the field of physical education.
For three summers he played professional baseball. Three
years at Eagleville High, near Nashville, he coached foot-
ball, basketball and baseball. He has two years' coaching
experience at TPI an;d a year at LT. T.
Last year Coach Brown came to Milligan from the Uni-
versity of Tennessee and began building his winning teams.
With Coach Brown the Milligan football team has success-
fully obtained the Burley Bowl bid twice.
• Concerning this season, Coach Brown said, "Considering
the injuries and tough breaks, I think we've had a very
successful season."
We think so, too, Coach!
"All right, Qriz, follow up that shot." The voice faded
away as we left the gym.
looking Back
By Jim Powers
The Buffaloes wound up the
1946 season- with six wins, two
losses, "and one tie. That is a
good record anytime, and partic-
ularly good this year since the
schedule was loaded with power-
houses. The only "coasters" were
the games with Emory and Henry
and Tusculum.
The best game of the season as
far as Milligan students are con-
cerned was the tussle with Appa-
lachian. The team showed more
spirit than had been exhibited pre-
viously this season. Another thrill-
er was the Carson-Newman game.
The most disappointing was either
the High Point or Tusculum game.
The toughest game of the regular
season, according to several play-
ers, was the one with Guilford.
Our nomination for the coolest
player and triple-threater goes to
Claude Holsclaw. We also cite the
following: Kicker— Len Goddard;
fighting spirit — Jack Caldwell; bro-
ken field runner — Jim Rose; line
plunger — Bill Showalter; defensive
back— J. C. Miller, Stallard, Jim
Harmon, Starnes, Fine and Spraker
were outstanding in the line. El-
liott and Allen were very success-
ful as ends. Harry Pardue did a
fine job as quarterback.
The team had a string of bad
breaks during the season. There
were several good players knocked
out by injuries. The Army got
Jimmy Crockett, an excellent
guard, early in the season. Weber,
Crain and Cox, three good linemen,
withdrew -from the team during
the season.
Those who knew Milligan had a
good team and expected an unde-
feated season failed to consider
that the teams Milligan scheduled
were also loaded with post-war
football material.
All in all, we think it was a
very successful season.

Boxing
The Basketball Grind
Coach Brown's floor men are rapidly getting into the top
condition it takes to win games. The team has not been
cut to squad size yet, with eighteen men now trying for
berths. The aspirants who are making the most headway
so far are Cliff Stevens, Sherman Warren, Bill Humphreys,
Paul Griz, Carl Sheppard, Charley Bayless, Carl Gouge, Pat
Edwards, Carl Matherly, Nat Taylor, Joe Wallace, Roland
McCarry, Roy Trivett, George Handley, Phelps, Jack Wil-
son, Kermit Hall and Johnny Walker.
The competition is due to be a lot keener after this week,
for there are six additional cagemen coming off the foot-
ball squad. They .are Bob Elliott, Duard Walker, Harry
Fine, Blake Atwood, Jim Rose and Claude Holsclaw.
The boys have a big job in front of them this season, with
such a notable as the University of Tennessee on the sched-
ule. That game is to be played at Knoxville, December'
7th. The first game is to be played here at the campus on
November 30, while on December 3 the boys travel to Kings-
port for a game with Dobbins-Bennett.
No doubt, Milligan students have
all had the desire to be manly
enough to protect themselves and
perhaps impress their best girl
friend. Through the courtesy of
Mr. Rice, a course in boxing is be-
ing offered to male students, which
may prevent being embarrassed by
a love opponent. No previous ex-
perience is necessary and "there
will be an inter-scholastic sched-
ule," says Mr. Rice, if an adequate
number is interested in the course.
intermural Basketball
Now that the "not too discour-
aging" football season is almost
over, plans are under way for in-
termural basketball. Tuesday and
Thursday evenings have been set
aside for practice of this activity.-
Anyone interested in organizing a
team should contact Coach Rice
immediately. The poach hopes to
get the ball rolling soon after the
Burley Bowl game.
SWIMMING
An effort is being made to
arouse the school's interest in
swimming. For this purpose class-
es will be scheduled at a conven-
ient time for participants. Learn-
ers will have the pool to them-
selves with an adequate teacher
and life guard. If there are enough
participants a swimming team may
be organized.
The pool is open for each after-
noon, with the exception of Mon-
day, from 3:30 to 5:00 p. m., for
recreational swimming. This is an
excellent opportunity for anyone
wishing to learn the art of swim-
ming.
Plans are being made to replace
the dilapidated diving board which
will add much attraction to the
sport. "
WRESTLING TEAMS
Mr. Boyadjis wants more wrest-
lers. He is making a special re-
quest for some of the lighter ath-
letes of Milligan, as there has been
a complete lack of the 126 pound
class.
Appalachian and Chattanooga
Colleges have sent letters request-
ing matches with our "grapplers,"
but Coach Boyadjis does not be-
lieve his team is ready for com-
petitive wrestling as yet.

Cliff Stevens was again selected

untiring efforts in the same posi-
tion last year. Other officers se-
lected we're: Vice-chairman, Betty
Ruth Williams, secretary and treas-
urer, Ellen Austin, and program

are underway for several parties
and entertainments to take place
during the coming year.

Clara-Ward Wray is elated over
the prospect of flying home to Buf-

holidays. Her family had planned

but their plans were unavoidably
canceled. Clara will leave for Buf-
falo on Wednesday evening and
plans, to return here Monday.
Voice of Milligan
This week's question submitted
for your discussion is this: "What
is your opinion of a Thanksgiving
Holiday?"
The facts are these: This semes-
ter .we will attend 103 days of
school, beginning with registration
day and ending on Jan. 18, 1947.
The approximate minimum num-
ber of class days that are required
of an accredited college is 90.
Bill Stanfield: "All of the rest
of the colleges have at least one
day. This is worse than a high
school."
Vivian Noblin: "It is foolish.
Who can study with the. Burley
Bowl game coming up."
Bob Rice: "I never heard of such
a thing. Teachers College has both
Thursday and Friday."-
Rosie Ross: "The vets had too
many Thanksgivings where they
could not take a day off. Now,
when a little holiday would be so
appreciated, they still are facing
the same situation. However, this
time it doesn't make sense."
"Dude" Williams: "We should
get Thursday off, at least, to pre-
pare for' the game. Only one day
should be given so that no stu-
dent will be tempted to go home,
but come to the game to support
the team."
In English Lit: Professor, what
subject are you going to give us
tomorrow?
Dean Woods: Tomorrow we shall
take the life of Robert Louis Stev-
enson. So come prepared.
A member of the Bachelor's
Club: I shall never marry until I
meet the girl who is my direct
. opposite.
Dottie Gurley: Well, there are
a number ' of intelligent girls in
Milligan!
Paul Nourse: Did you pass your
exam?
Eddie Barnes: Well, it was like
this — you see —
Paul: Shake! Neither did I.
Junior: Our professor talks to
himself. Does yours?
Freshman: Yes, but he doesn't
realize it — he thinks we're listen-
ing.

It Seems To Me
lEg tlje JSai
Frankly, I don't see why the
"fellers" asked me to start this
column. Truly, it wasn't because
of my journalistic abilities — you
should see my grades in freshman
English back in '37! So, I figure
the only reason was I am the only
one besides "Crook" Jones who
doesn't care to sound off.
So let's start the ball rolling —
First the highlights of the Who's
Who election:
Isn't it strange though that so
many "fellers" up at Shepherd's
Apartments received one vote!
Tom Milam should have started
' shaking hands a-long time before
election day.
"Mabel," who received such a
heavy popular vote, should have
received honorable mention.
The student body is capable of
choosing their own representatives
without the help of various com-
mittees. With no slam on those
elected intended — we think there
were many overlooked who were
just as eligible or more so, such
as Ernest Godsey, "Rip" Miller,
Francis Brummit, Alabama Lee,
Kenneth Fraley, or Lois Neely,
Marcelline Riddle, etc., who would
have had as good a chance as those
selected by the "board." No, that
is not representative government —
that is more like "machine poli-
tics." And none of the students
thought very much of it.
Famous lines:
"Let's atomize Appalachia and
burlap Louisiana."
Some of the Squires of the
CBC's got together and here's what
they and others cooked up. They
are going to announce in chapel
. soon a certain day as being, say,
"Spraker Day." As you know, this
is the boy's last semester, and you
know, too, how long he was banged
up in football, and he was overseas
a long, long time, so we think that
this day he should have special
privileges as getting anything in
the school store he wants on the
fellers, breaking chow line that
day, that day, too, we might make
his bed, and shine his shoes, etc.,
and the little girlies, I'm sure,
would want to make him some
candy, etc. And we are still hatch-
ing up other things! So what do
you all" say — you day students, too?
Are you behind us? The boy cer-
tainly deserves it. Let's make it
super!

Football Finale
On Thanksgiving day almost 8.-
000 football fans at Roosevelt Sta-
dium enjoyed a beautiful day, a
thrilling air show, a parade re-
splendent with marching bands
and local color and a spectacular
ball game, in which the Southeast-
ern Louisiana team won a hard-
earned victory over Milligan, 21
to 13.
Early in the first quarter Louis-
i?na lost 15 yards on a fumble and
was forced to kick. Goddard took
the kick for Milligan on the 15-
yard line, and behind beautiful
blocking ran through the entire
opposing team 85 yards for a
touchdown. The attempted con-
version was no good. The first
quarter ended, Milligan leading
6-0.
In the second quarter Davis, Du-
gas and Ramboli carried the ball
to within six inches of the Milligan
goal line, from which point Wolf
carried over for the score. The
extra point was good, making the
score 7-6 in favor of Louisiana.
Neither team scored in the third
quarter. The heavy opposing team
was held largely by the hard
tackling of Caldwell, Stallard,

Drill Team Dismissed
Until Next Year
The drill team has been disor-
ganized for the remainder of the
year. This season it was com-
posed of 24 girls, directed by Ker-
mit Hall, a veteran. Because of
weather conditions, the Carson-
Newman tilt was the only game in
which they were able to make an
appearance. The team was asked
to drill in the Burley Bowl, but
the girls refused due to the fact
that they would have to pay the
"Buck eighty" admission . . . any-
way.
Next year Miss Mynatt intends
to have definite squad formations
and hop^s to combine the drill
team with the band.
Christmas Vacation
Extended 5 Days
President Elliott announced
an extension of the Christmas
vacation from the original 13 to
18 days. This action was necess-
itated by the coal strike and if
the strike is not settled by that
time it may be necessary ro dis-
miss school again.
Classes will end at 1 :00 p. m.,
Dec. 19 and resume at 8:00 a.m.
Monday morning, Jan. 6.
Band In The Dumps,
iays Stafford
"They have no bar.d," says Prof.
Stafford. "I bring the band." It
seems that there are six campus
students, half dozen day students
that he brings from THE (thought
by some) neighboring town, and
about ten sympathizers from with-
out. They played at the Tusculum.
Appalachian and Burley Bowl
games, ar.d are now working on
some concert music, including "Be-
gin the Beguine." Why not get
behind this thing and pay atten-
tion to the Prof's "Be At Rehear-
sals! Be at the places we play!"
Then there may. be uniforms, more
members, -and recognition in the
future. Don't think we're not
proud of our band. We're appeal-
ing to those who have not yet seen
fit to come out with their instru-
ments and join them. Surely there
is more musical talent on the cam-
pus besides Henry and trumpet,
John and his trombone, Grace and
her French horn, Dottie and her
clarinet, and the Warners.
"They're dead down there.
They've been dead for years. I
thought this would spirit them up
a little, but it hasn't." Let's change
this statement of Stafford's and
come on out. Apparently he is fed
up with the whole set-up under
present conditions. The last re-
mark heard from him was, "There's
a lot more I could say but it can't
be printed."
Cagers Cop Opener
By Impressive Score
" The Milligan Buffaloes started
the basketball season with a flour-
ish, in the form of a 72 to 29 vic-
tory over the Elizabethton School
of Business. The Buffs were led
in scoring by a veteran of last
year's quint. Paul Griz. Paul ran
up 15 points during the course of
the game.
The "B" team had a field day
against the light but determined
Watauga Academy "Cagers." The
final score was an impressive 59
to 33, with the Buffs on the long
end of the count.
Last Tuesday night the Buffs
downed Dobbyns-Taylor of King
sport 46 to 38 in an unimpressive
ball game.
Commercial Club
Formed On Campus
Thirty-eight students majoring in
Business Administration and Sec-
retarial Science met in Room 108
of the Administration Building at
7:30 p. m. Thursday, November
21, for the purpose of forming a
club for Business Administration
majors. The club was named The
Commercial Club of Milligan Col-
lege.
It was suggested that a commit
tee be appointed to draw up the
constitution and by-laws of the
club, this committee to be com-
posed of the officers of the club,
known as the executive commit-
tee. Elections were held and the
following students received recog-
nition: President, Jim Brooks; vice-
president, "Spooney" Shults; sec-
retary, Martha Lecka; treasurer.
Tommy Milam; reporter, Joe
Hagan.

GUEST EDITORIAL
A Better College
By John Hasty
It was the privilege of the Chris-
tian Service Group to have as their
speaker of the evening President
Elliot, who just recently returned
from a tour taken in the interest
of Milligan College. His talk was
deeply inspirational and his man-
ner of delivery made all those
present feel a deep sense of grati-
tude for his exhausting efforts.
We, the students of Milligan,
have been handed a precious heri-
tage— Christianity. It is ours, not
to preserve, but to propagate. We
are the working force of the Chris-
tian ideals of Milligan.
There are times when some of
us lose sight of this Holy Ideal
lighting our path before us. As
Peter, while walking upon the sea,
began to sink when he cast his
eyes off of Christ, so also we sink
when we cast our eyes downward.
The past couple weeks have well
illustrated this. The episode in
Shepherd was the culmination of a
turbulent condition that has been
developing since the beginning of
the semester.
It seems that there always has
been, and probably always will be
evil with which to contend. And
though we all recognize certain
things as being not right and good,
yet we continue to allow it to pre-
vail in our very midst. We have
a tendency to ignore those fellows
among us who are continually ma-
levolent. Why? We are not con-
sistent. If we believe that these
things are right, such as drunken-
ness, gambling, and profanity, then
let's openly declare our intentions
and belief. However, we all know
that such conduct is wrong, and
Francis Brummit
He's a business major; a senior, and a tennis star. He was born
in Nashville, Tennessee, September 10, 1921. Graduating from Sci-
ence Hill High School in Johnson City in 1939, he was just in time
for a four and a half year stint in the Navy.
Francis came up to Milligan in 1945 after a year at Sewanee. In
Prof. Long's office he bears patiently the imposing title of "active
assistant to the Business Manager and Treasurer and Chief Voucher
Clerk."
"I also listen to all G. I. complaints," said Francis. This reporter
hung around the business office and talked at length to Mrs. Jordon
and Mrs. Hill, who were both loud in their praises of Mr. Brummit.
But all our efforts to elicit any information from Prof. Long were
in vain.
"If I go telling him how good he is, why, the first thing you
know he'll be asking for a raise," said Prof, bitterly. We knew
what was coming; a matter of a few dollars tuition, so we left.
Mr. Brummit now resides in Elizabeth ton.
Despite the coming cold weather
and the handicap of having no
mats on which to train, Prof.
Boyadjis's wrestling teams are con-
tinuing their daily workouts.
The Prof, said: "Wrestling is
the most popular sport in Penn-
sylvania," and that he would like
some boys of the 126-pound class
to come out for the team.
Beginning swimming classes are
now in progress, Professor Green,
Stevens, Stratton and Humphreys
are the instructors and the classes
meet on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, at 2:30 p. m.
Approximately sixteen s t u de n t s
have enrolled in the classes.
people that practice the vices are
of no benefit to the betterment of
society. A world filled with such
people, drunkards, murderers and
sexual maniacs, would soon destroy
itself.
Why then do we follow along
with the fellow who suggests "a
couple beers"? We know it's not
right. And the guy down the hall
that knows every dirty word in the
books, and yet is probably ignor-
ant of the true facts of life; what
about him? We know that such
actions are .wrong, and further-
more, ignorant. Are we going to
go along and so make the world
that much more filty? Or are we
going to be right and be mentally
clean? What do you want to be?
Come on, let's clean up Milligan,
and have the only school in the
country where people are building
a BETTER WORLD!
Pre-Med Club Plans
Final Initiations
Sometime this next week, those
pledges accepted by the Pre-Med
Club will receive formal bids to
join the club. All bids will be
mailed early in the week.
Those pledges accepting club
bids will be requested to be in
attendance at a dinner Thursday
night. Dec. 12, 1946, in the recrea-
tion room of the College Church.
Final and formal initiation will be
held at this time.
The Changing Fashions
ANONYMOUS
The young, cub reporter had just
begun to work,
When the editor said, "You go see
What the styles of college girls
are this year,
What the latest fashions may be."
Over there, in a sweater and skirt,
is a girl,
Cuddle bunny, (a sort of a rab-
bit),
It's plain to be seen — she's just
wearing out
Her usual evening habit.
Now, here's a sweet girl who can't
make up her mind.
Like a seasonal garment laid by
She leaves her 'steady' (too bad
he don't know),.
He's only another fall guy.
So now this report from the old
college hill,
We naturally withhold our name.
"The styles of co-eds may often
change,
Designs — they stay the same!"

Recreation Committee
on Future Plans
Without the able help of our
Recreation Committee, the social
life on the campus would be rather
dull. Possibly the majority of stu-
dents are unaware of the purpose
of this organization and of the work
which it endeavors to pursue.
The Recreation Committee was
organized last year under the lead-
ership and guidance of Dean Wood
and Miss Jones. A representative
from each dormitory and from each
organization was chosen to com-
pose this committee. Its purpose
is to promote the social life at Mil-
ligan College by planning and car-
rying out various activities and by
assisting other organizations in this
endeavor. Eight members from
last year have continued to work
on the committee this year with
the tie'p of fifteen new. members.
Mr. Rice is the sponsor this year.
We students should feel indebted
and deeply grateful to these peo-
ple who give a part of their own
time, pondering over ways and
means for the promotion of our
happiness. In the past, you were
probably unaware of the fact that
the recreation committee planned
and carried out the weiner roast
down on the football field, the vol-
ley-ball games between the boys
and the girls on the campus, and
other social activities.
The committee has great things
in store for us. They are now
working toward a trip to Knoxville
to the Milligan-U. T. basketball
game Saturday night. If these
plans do not materialize, plans are
in the making for a student talent
show that night.
The committee is trying to make
it possible for us to go to Tuscu-
lum for the basketball game on
December. 14. And plans for a
Christmas party in the gym are
also in the making.
This last item which the recrea-
tion committee is working on will
be of great interest and enjoyment
for every student; that item being,
the prospects of a faculty stunt
night, in the near future.
Choir Becoming
On Friday morning, November
29, Joe and Pat Starnes and Ralph
MeClurd motored to the Army-
Navy football game which was
played in .Philadelphia. Lee Al-
bert accompanied them as far as
her home in Lemoyne, Pa.
The Milligan College choir is
getting to be quite the thing
around here. Announcement has
been made of a tour in the spring,
including the largest cities in Ten-
nessee, and possibly one large
church in Mississippi. This tour
will last about ten days — by the
way, there's still a chance to get
in the choir!
At the noon meeting of the Ki-
wanis Club on Wednesday, Novem-
ber 27, the choir presented a va-
ried program. The female portion
of the chorus must have sounded
exceptionally well, because there
was an added inspiration in the
presence of the Southeastern Lou-
isiana football squad.
At the regular chapel period on
Thanksgiving Day in the college
auditorium, the following program
was given: "God of Our Fathers,"
"Netherlands Folk Song," "We
Plow the Fields," and a Fred War-
ing arrangement of "Onward Chris-
tian Soldiers."
Big plans are in the making for
a Christmas program to be given
in the college auditorium on the
night of December 19. See what we
mean when we say, "The choir is
quite the thing around here."
Prexy Returns From
Another Long Trip
Having just returned from a trip
which took him from Columbus,
Ind'ana through Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Kentucky, Tennessee, and
down into Huntsville, Alabama,
President Elliott set out again for
Nashville, Tennessee. This trip
took him south to Westpoint, Mis-
sissippi, where he spoke to
the Westpoint Christian Church
on "Christian Education the Hope
of the World." From there he con-
tinued on to Meridian and Jackson,
Mississippi, stealing into Hatties-
burg for a look at the Southeastern
Louisiana team. From Hattiesburg,
his next stop was Memphis, where
he held two services on Sunday,
and returned to Milligan the fol-
lowing Tuesday.
Tomorrow our president will
head for Huntington, W. Va.,
where he will conduct two services
at the Central Christian Church.
VOICE OF MILLIGAN
How do you feel about length-
ening Christmas vacation to Jan-
uary 5? This is a popular question
that has been circulating around
the campus since Thanksgiving.
According to the catalog Christ-
mas vacation officially begins Fri-
day, December 20, and classes re-
sume Thursday, January 2.
When discussing this, Nancy
Hawkins exploded: "Heck, a gal
can't get married in two days!"
Reva Fae Lawson had no time
to get rested up before returning
to school after New Year's last
year. She claims, "I was so sleepy
that I couldn't stand myself for
three days."
Roger Clites said, "I understood
that the Thanksgiving holidays
were to be tacked on at Christ-
mas."
Bill Smith ironically stated, "I'm
fer it."
"Oh, Oh! Yes! I hope so! Gee!"
bubbled Amy.
Clifford Wells exclaimed,
"What!" and began to give reasons
for a longer vacation.
Wilbur Johnson's reasons, "Most
of the students live so far away
they will have to leave New Year's
Eve to get back on time."
A number of other interesting
comments have been mentioned,
but cannot be printed due to lack
of space.
Miss Juanita Graveley, a stu-
dent at Lincoln Memorial Univer-
sity, and Mr. and Mrs. Hillmond
Graveley, and daughter, Nancy,
were on the Milligan campus last
Wednesday and Thursday. Juanita
and Mr. and Mrs. Graveley were
former Milligan students, and Mr.
Graveley is now enrolled in law
school at the University of Ten-
nessee.
From Huntington, he will travel
directly to Memphis to attend the
annual meeting of the "Southern
Association of Colleges and Sec-
ondary Schools," which is to be
held at the Peabody Hotel, De-
cember 9-13. Following this meet-
ing his journey will take him down
into New Orleans, where he will
visit with friends in the interest of
the college. From New Orleans,
Dr. Elliott will return to Milligan
in time to> wish everyone a Merry
Christmas.

In the last quarter Walker in-
tercepted a Louisiana pass and ran1
the ball to the 15-yard line. On
the next play Holsclaw leaped high
in the air to send a fast, flat pass
to Stevens on the one-yard line.
Stevens carried the ball over for
the tally on a quarterback sneak.
The extra point was good.
In the last few minutes Dugas
scored for Louisiana from the 9-
yard line, and Davis intercepted a
Milligan pass on Milligan's 41
yard stripe. Romboli, carrying the
ball, was run out of bounds oh the
7-yard marker, but Wolf carried it
over on the next play to make the
final score, 21-13.
Work Begun On
Prayer Room
In the pre-war years, 302, the
Prayer Room, was reserved during
the day for private devotions. The
Volunteer Band held its business
and worship meetings there on
Monday nights. The room was fur-
nished with chairs, an altar, piano, -
and appropriate pictures. A rev-
erent atmosphere was always main-
tained within its walls.
Due to increased enrollment, last
year and the first part of this,
classes met in 302. Several stu-
dents felt the need for a quiet wor-
ship center that would be easily
accessible throughout the day, and
they asked that 302 be restored to
its former office. It has, been
cleared of classes now. A com-
mittee is busily engaged in mak-
ing this room a private sanctuary
in appearance and mood, as well
as in name. Several generous do-
nations for furniture have been
made. Pictures and literature are
being assembled.
The Milligan College Prayer
Room will be a source of pride for
both faculty and students. Between
classes, or at any time during the
day,' the Prayer Room will be open
to those who want to worship in
song, meditation, reading, or
prayer.

Present Comedy
Milligan Host To Smokey Mt. Tournament
The Milligan College players
will present the three-act comedy,
"The Show Off," in the college
auditorium, Thursday and Friday
evenings. March 13 and 14.
Dr. Lorenz, who is directing the
play, has put the cast on exten-
sive rehearsals for these last days
of preprxation.
The comedy has been double
casted with the idea of having a
different group for each evening.
Ann Adams will play the lead as
the mother and Paul Griz will act
the part of Aubury, the show off.
There is a talented and support-
ing cast including the stars of
last season, these being Ellen Aus-

The new corners to the college
dramatics at Milligan are Dottie

himself so much that you can't talk
about yourself.
The Miligan Buffaloes are host
this year to the Smoky Mountain
Basketball Conference, Thursday
through Saturday, February 27-

lation.
LMU, conference leaders, have
lost two games; one to Tusculum
and one to our Buffs. Tusculum
lost three, one to LMU, one to
Carson Newman, and one to Emory
and Henry. Carson Newman in
third place, bowed once to the
Buffs, twice to LMU and once to
Tusculum. Milligan lost to LMU.

culum being a tough nut to crack.
The Buffs will play both Friday
and Saturday.
After last week's slump the
Buffs have snapped out of it and
are determined to make a deter-
mined bid for the Smoky Moun-
tain Championship.

GUEST EDITORIAL
ROBERT P. RHEA
The man who has proverbially
"arrived" is nothing more than the
proud product of this complex and
amazing Twentieth Century Back-
ing in the warm sunlight of his
intellectual and cultural maturity,
he has closed his eyes to the past
and interprets life only in terras of
Pliofilm raincoats, Cadillac sedans,
and the various and sundry gadgets
which exist solely for the mainte-
nance of a comfortable living in
this work -a -day world. Grand-
mother has become old-fashioned
and now Mother and Dad are fall-
ing into the same category.
Any wide-awake, up-to-date stu-
dent of Milligan (Freshman in-
cluded) has discovered that possi-
bly there is more to this thing
we call life than eating, sleeping,
and merry-making. He has discov
ered that we are the recipients of
a rich heritage and as such we
have become indebted to our fore
fathers, ourselves, and succeeding
generations in improving life in all
its aspects.
You who are now Education
majors know that the modern sec-
ondary school with its various
complexities is no brain child cf
some contemporary educator. The
love of wisdom and knowledge as
well as the transference of the
same dates back to the debut of
Adam and Eve and has seen its
fruition in such men as Moses,
Socrates, Plato, Paul the Apostle,
and myriad other ancients. Expo-
sure to our science department
need not be long in persuading us
that the raincoat, car, and gadgets
mentioned above are not the ex-
clusive attainments of the present
age but the results of unnumbered
men and women who have walked
this road before us. And the weild-
er of the baton knows that the

music he directs is not the spon-
taneous result of a down-beat but
the melodies and measured time
of centuries.
Yes, others have lived, have
loved, have created, and have made
their exits. We are indebted be-
cause they have given to us a por-
tion of their own lives that ours
might be a little better. The stage
is now cleared, our cue has been
given, and the world sfands by as
we perform our act upon the stage
of life.
Again let us ask: Have we "ar-
rived"? Have we reached the
zenith of human achievement?
Have we ceased thirsting and hun-
gering after the unknown, the un-
explained, the unseen? If so we
have fallen victims to our own
bigotry. If not, then there remains
yet a chance to know the truth of
life and to free ourselves from the
intellectual, cultural, and religious
paralysis that besets the earnest
and sincere lover of truth. Our
motto might be the words of the
great Teacher who once said, "Ye
shall know the truth and the truth
shall make you free."
MY INSPIRATION
You are my inspiration.
When things of life go wrong.
My mind will often wander
To you as they prolong.
There are so many persons
Who with you incompare;
When things go wrong,
You laugh and talk.
It seems that you don't care.
Even ' in the sight of you —
It sets my blood on fire!
I do not know at all, I say,
What's in this fool's desire?
But pleased am I to know you're
near.
And sorrowed if you're gone,
From day to day, it's all the same,
And yet vou have not known.

JETHRO GROTE— BUILDER OF SOULS IN OTHER schools
Claude C. Callaway,
I met "Uncle" Jethro at Berea
College in January, 1940. He was
tall, erect, remarkably active and
still young in heart, despite his
eighty years. He was the oldest
and no doubt one of the most dis-
tinguished and outstanding stud-
ents Berea has ever had. I was
with him in Opportunity School,
an informal class which is unique,
being patterned along the lines of
the folks schools of Denmark. It
is onen to men and women of the
mountain regions of the South
who seek to broaden their horizons
and grow into better and more
useful citizens, regardless of their
educational background. There
are no entrance requirements.
The winter 'of 1940 was the
tenth successive time Uncle Jethro
had attended Opportunity School.
By this time he was considered
a symbol of the purpose for which
the school exists, that is. the train-
ing of head, heart, and hand. I
shall never forget his cheerful,
wholesome attitude towards all
thiol's. h'S cooperative spirit, and
h;<! Vep""e" cf mind. I worked
beside him in the machine shop,
sat with him in classes, at lec-
tures, concerts; and participated
in games with him. When there
■w?s work to be done, he was
willing to help, and always insist-
ed on "doing his part." Early on
Sunday mornings he would come
by the boys' dormitory and leave
n cheerful reminder for us to be
in church on time. At Union
Church he was always to be found
in the front pew.
Often on the long winter eve-
nings we would gather around the
great fireplace in Academy Hall
to listen to Uncle Jethro read
his favorite passages from the
P'ble. He would open our minds
to its eternal truths. Later, he
*""uld tell of his travels through
Mexico, or perhaps Argentina,
o>" sometimes read from Kalilil u
G-ibr»n's THE PROPHET. I re-
member these words:
"We are the seeds of the te-
nacious plant; and it is in our
rineness and in our fullness of
heart that we are given to the
wind and are scattered."
We are were amazed at his store
of knowledge and his apprecia-
tion of the finer things of life.
His life was an inspiration to all
who knew him.
I began to inquire into this
man's past, of people who had
known him for many years.
Jethro Grote's formal education
had not gone beyond that of the
fourth grade; nevertheless, he had
made the best of every oppor-
tunity to build a rich life. For
years he had worked in the coal
mines of West Virginia and in the
timberlands of Kentucky, in order
to save money to travel, not only
through many states of the Union,
but in Mexico and South America
as well. He had returned to the
Cumberland Mountains with many
new ideas for community organ-
ization. Through his effective
leadership his community estab-
lished Faith Mission, where the
underprivileged were sheltered
and educated. He helped to or-
ganize community study groups
to teach cooperative living, the
responsibilities of citizenship, and
religious tolerance. For ten win-
ters Uncle Jethro had come to
Opportunity School, and each time
he had gone home with a store
of information to be used towards
the betterment of his community.
Through the unselfish efforts of
Jethro Grote countless people
an abundant measures of good
have been able to lay hold upon
life. When he died in 1942, one
of the leading educators of the
South made the statement that
Jethro Grote was one of the most
distinguished sons of Kentucky.
A professor at Berea wrote:
"Through over eighty, his thirst
for knowledge, his love of giving
o.nd sharing, and his courage
against all baseness kept him
young and eager in spirit. Ken-
tucky has lost a noble citizen."
I loved Uncle Jethro for what
he was; for the sincerity of his
purposes, his constant regard for
orhers. and for his indomitable
Chnstian character. I like to think
of him as a protoype of victorious
living. In life he had one pur-
pese; to help make the world a
better place in which to live. In
his meek relationship to God he
had traveled only in one direc-
tion— heavenward. Death loosed
the bonds of time and environ-
ment and Jethro Grote was re-
leased to a richer, fuller service.

THE STAMPEDE
Published Weekly By the Students
of Milligan College
STAFF
For the next few weeks, the
Stampede will be edited by vari-
ous members of the staff.
Editor this week Jim Morrison
Staff members: Dave Rose, Bob
Rhea, Paul Nourse, Eldon King,
Glenn Corlew, Jack Fortune.
If You Were Editor
There is always quite a bit of .
criticism from students concerning
this paper. Perhaps this is to be
expected for we know many of
our own shortcomings. We do ap-
preciate, however, your comments
in the work we are trying to do.
We of the staff have made an
honest effort to print that which
we think is of interest to the major-
ity of the students. We are broad-
minded enough to welcome any
suggestion that you think would
improve our work. But please don't
just tell your room mate about
this suggestion, tell us about it.
Your letters, notes, or any idea
are welcome. We are sure you will
find all members of the staff eager
to receive criticism.
There is a deadline when mater-
ial MUST be in for publication.
If those who promise to have some-
thing for the paper do not have it
ready at the deadline, then filler
material must be substituted or
there will not be any paper.
A student paper is just what the
students make it. So the next time
you have an idea, write it for publi-
cation and see how your suggest-
ion helps make a better STAM-
PEDE.
Spring Sports
The Milligan College calendar
of spring events covers a wide va-
riety of activities. One or more of
these will be of interest to all of
us-especially those activities which
will quicken the heart-beat of we
"sports loving" Americans.
The American people go in for
sports more than any people and
his fine sportsmanship and fair play
is considered the world over to be
one of his foremost characteristics
so may we never be justly accused
of not living up to our reputation
•f being good sportsmen.
STAMPEDE MEETING
There will be a meeting of the
entire staff of The Stampede at
8 o'clock, Monday evening, Mar.
10 in the Ad building. All who
are interested are invited wheth-
er you are a member of the staff
or not.

scooped in its own back yard but
that's what happened to us this
week, so we pass it on to you as
we read it in the papers.
Hugo Yancey of Kingsport
high school is likely to succeed

The Sports Calendar
Spring is casting its shadow on
the coming sports program:
Mr. Rice, acting director of Ath-
letics, is arranging a ten-game
baseball schedule including a pen-
ding game with the University of
Tennessee.
Baseball is fast becoming one
of the major collegiate sports and
the big league scouts are habitu-
ally visiting college games in
hopes of finding big league mater-
ial.
One of Milligan's boys — Lefty
Dance, already has made a step
toward "big-time" baseball in that
he is with a St. Louis Cardinal
farm team now. And Lefty is the
boy who proved to us that you
don't have to have much past ex-
pereince to play college football -
and do a good job of it.
Some of the lettenmen will be
back in the harness again. Claude
Holsclaw, Cot Presnell, Harry Fry,
Bill Carico, Henry Simmons, and
Bill Showalter will be in uniform.
Track Team
Mr. Rice is anticipating bigger
and better things for the track
team this spring. Arrangements
are being made for a track program
which will include at least four
meets, with the probability of a
relay team to go to Pennsylvania
for the Philadelphia meet.
Tennis
Professor Thompson, who coach-
es the tennis teams, has found, in
addition to the "hold-overs," some
very promising new-comers. Last
year's group-Francis Brumit, Stoke
Caldwell, Sherman MeCartt, Bob
Showalter, Bob Rice, and Fred Key
will keep Milligan in the front
line again.
There will be at least eight
meets: four at home and four
away. University of Tennessee.
Tennessee Tech and Maryville,
will appear on the schedule.
The regular day student enroll-
ment at Butler University (a Chris-
tian Church University) for 1946-
47 is 4,061 and the evening school
enrollment is 763, making a total
of 4,824 for the fall semester. Ap-
proximately 2,623 are veterans.
Paul Griz and Fred Keyes are
carrying the buddy system too
far. Now they are sharing the
same girl.
Jack Lukehart finds that he has
competition on the campus.
Any information pertaining to
the whereabouts, what about, or
just anything about a certain Clau-
dia, who has Ralph Derting dream-
in about wedding bells, would be
greatly appreciated.
And we'd like to take this oppor-
tunity to bid Coach and Mrs.
Brown goodbye. . .and good luck.

Cast of the ShowOff wins addi-
tional honors this week. The play
was given at the Soldiers Home on
Wednesday and in Erwin on Friday
evening. This annual theatrical pro-
duction is, deservedly, one of the
highlights of the college year.
Working under many handicaps the
payers turned in a fine perform-
ance in The Show-Off. Anne Adams
and Paul Griz carried off the parts
of Aubrey and Mrs. Fisher admir-
ably. Miss Adams especially shows
unusual talent and ability. Dr.
Lorenz, indefatigueable sponsor ex-
presesd the greatest satisfaction at
the performance. The student body
whole heartily agrees.
NEW DEAN OF THE COLLEGE
Howard McCorkle
C. Howard McCorkle, for the
past three years principal of
Science High School in Johnson
City, will become dean of Milligan
College on July 1.
McCorkle, a native of Elizabeth-
ton, is a graduate of Science Hill
High School. In 1931, he received
a degree from Milligan and in
1936 he received a master of arts
degree from Vanderbilt Univ-
ersity. He has done additional
graduate work at Peabody Col-
lege for teachers.
Library To Be Open Evenings
Miss Gretchen Smith announces
that the library is open Monday,
Tuesday, and Thursday nights
from seven-thirty to nine-thirty.
This open at night is a trial per-
iod, dependent entirely upon the
use to which it is put by the stu-
dents. Miss Smith believes in
making the library available as
long as it is desired by the stu-
dents. If you want the library
open at night — use it. It is for
research, for finding information,
checking out books; it is not a
study hall or date parlor.
EDITORIAL
The Student Union Store is a
part of Milligan College. It is
doing an important service well.
Let's make it better.
THE STUDENT UNION
By Henry Evans
The Student Union Store is
owned by Milligan College and
operated by the business office
for the benefit of the college stu-
dents. We believe that a sincere,
constructive critcism and appraisal
of the store can result only in
more interest in the store, more
understanding of the problems in-
volved and, hence, more benefit
to the students and more satis-
faction to the Administration.
This article proposes to be just
such a critcism.
About the year 1933 Professor
Hyder, who was then the College
Treasurer, purchased for the col-
lege the property now known as
the Student Union Store. Original-
ly it housed the College book
store, but this was moved to the
Administration Building and the
Student Union Store came to sell
other school supplies, soft drinks
and sundry articles that the Stu-
dents needed or wanted. The
merchandise now on hand is
valued by Mr. Long at about
$2,000. Mrs. Parrott is in charge
of the Store, under the direction
of the business office, and em-
ploys about five or six students
as clerks.
The Store is a valuable item
of school property, doing a good
job with this almost indispensable
services to the students. But can
we, within reasonable "limits of
renovation and expenses, improve
this service for which the Store
was organized?
Specificaltly, the students can
help by handling the soft drink
bottles carefully and by leaving
them at the Store. Loss of bot-
tles is an expense to the school
and, therefore, a loss to the stu-
dents. Obviously, we can increase
the attractiveness and usefulness
of the store by cooperating in
keeping it clean.
We believe that some badly
needed equipment in the store
would soon pay for itself by the
increased business. A few small
tables and some chairs would be
a real improvement. Often the
store is rushed with customers.
More help could be used to
advantage at such times.
COMMENTS ON THE NEWS
Talking to some of the Senior
boys and never saw such hedg-
ing, such hemming and hawing.
Some of them mighty skittish:
couldn't get a definite statement
from any of them. It seems that
these under grads, freshmen espe-
cially, have just about embarrassed
the old boys to death. One of them
said that he felt like a cad; been
dating this co-ed over here at Har-
din for about a month and every-
one looking askance at him for not
announcing an engagement at least.
Incidentally, J. W. Abbott's new
addition to the family is a good
chance to say something about him.
He started to Milligan back in about
1937, I believe. Used to be a star
football player here at Milligan.
He's finishing up this year in Busi-
ness Ad. "Ten years," said John
with a sigh. "Ten Years." We know
what he means.
Dean Houk of Pardee Hall has
gone into the barber business. This
reporter was down for a haircut
the other day. He had about an
hour to catch a bus. Had to shave,
shower, and change clothes, so we
told Dean to make it snappy. It was
no use. He's the most painstaking
felow we've seen in these times.
You can't rush him. He does a
good job even though he gets hair
all over his apartment. We haven't
asked Peggy, his wife, what she
thinks of it, but will say it's a
mighty restful place to wait for a
haircut — deep, easy chairs, soft
lights, a radio — really barbering
with a touch of home.
And then Big Harry Fine comes
around about twice a week to col-
lect the dry cleaning. It's pretty
nice to lie in the sack and say,
"Those gray pants, Harry, they're
hanging on the rack." " Sure beats
lugging them around to the clean-
ers yourself.

MILLIGAN NETTERS OUTCLASS
• MARS HILL
Despite the rough weather and
short time for practice, "Doc"
Thompson's netters were able to
take every match in the meet
against the Mars Hill netters by
winning five singles and two dou-
bles on the Milligan courts,
March 15.
Each match was won as fol-
lows:
Singles:
F. Brummitt 6-1, 6-4
R. Showalter 6-4, 4-6, 6-3
E. Archer 6-1, 6-4
B. Rice 6-4, 6-2
J. Walker 6-4, 6-0
Doubles:
Brummitt arid
Showalter 6-1, 7-5
S. Caldwell and
McCurry 6-4, 9-7
The team is expected to im-
prove greatly because of close
competition among the seeded
players who are determined to
hold on to their ranks or to
advance into higher ranks. Im-
provement has already been no-
ticed since the Mars Hill meet.
Up to date, Bob Rice has been
the more progressive than any
other player on the team. Two
newcomers, Archer and Walker,
have shown themselves to be.
worthy to be on the regular team.
However, there can be no slack-
ing on their parts, for Caldwell,
McCurry, and Hagan are hungry
to make the regular team. Brum-
mitt and Showalter play tennis,
too.

College Choir Makes Two-week Concert Tour of South
The choir of 31 young people
from Milligan College will leave
April 7 for a two-week tour of
Tennessee, Alabama and Missis-
sippi during which time they will
give twelve concerts in various
churches.
The college choir, consisting of
19 girls and 12 boys, is under the
direction of Professor E. Gordon
Warner with Mrs. Warner as the
accompanist.
Professor Warner was, for
years, a member of the famous
Ringling Brothers Circuis band
and has injected his showmanship
into this choral performance.

Presentation of a plaque in

day on behalf of the Navy De-

During the two years from
July, 1943 to July, 1S45, that
the Navy unit was on the Mil-
ligan College campus, about
1,000 different men represent-
ing twenty-two states received
training. Many of these men
continued their training and be-
came line, supply, and air corp
officers in the Naval Reserve-
In accepting the award, Dr.
Virgil Elliott, President at Mil-
ligan College, pointed out that
many of the men who came to
Milligan first as tNayy V-12
Students, have returned to the
|:ampus to continue their studies.
Dr. Elliott continued by stat-
.ng that at least one, and maybe
more, of the Navy students had
given their lives in service- It
is known definitely that Robert
JiV. Shakespear gave his life.
The faculty that was maintain-
ed during the Navy program
was also given recognition.

A Buffalo
He(a)rd
After hibernating for the past
several months, the old Buffalo
is back on the job again, look-
ing over this year's crop of
freshmen, as well as upper-
classmen, and sniffing out choice
bits of gossip to divulge to you
readers. Here 'tis:
Tom Hagy is STILL wooing
our little red-headed Yankee,
Peg Welsh. It's one Milligan
romance that doesn't seem to
change with the weather.
Connie Mynatt was all aglow
at the Milligan-Western Caro-
lina football game Saturday
night. Certainly is good to
have Mr. Carder back in the
vicinity, isn't it, Miss Mynatt?
Kenny Acres is doing his best
to instigate another Civil War
(if only a minor one). He just
can't seem to make up his mind
over a Southern belle and a
Northern siren.
Must run in the family! Twin
sister Emma Allen is happiest
when she's with her "Preacher,"
too.
Incidentally, Jimmy Rose,
you're looking extremely ....
Hats off to the freshmen girls!
They're doing a mighty fine
job on that drill team. We're
sure that Mr. Keith will verify
that statement!
We're not sure whether to
chalk this up as another Mill-
ligan romance, or whether to
give credit to the state of Ohio,

M Club is now holding regular
weekly meetings and expects
to bring in several men at the
close of the football season.
The M Club reperesents the
oldest organization on the cam-
pus. It had its beginning in the
year 1921 with sixteen charter
members. They were self in-

sixteen.

THE STAMPEDE
FRIDAY. OCTOBER 24. 1947
Herd Whips
Western Carolina
Milligan Buffs, after being
1 held scoreless in the first half,
■ came on to win by a score of
: 19-0 over the Western Carolina
Catamounts, in a tough game
; played in Elizabethton. Claude
Holsclaw paced the Herd attack
with his brilliant passing game,
and Dugger, Kinsey, Roberts,
and Allen showed up well on
the receiving end.
In the first quarter after Mil-
ligan had won the toss and
. elected to receive, Western held
and Goddard punted. Milligan
i recovered a fumble on the 26,
but couldn't go anywhere
through the heavier Western
line. Then after a exchange of
punts Milligan got the ball on
their own 42. Hale's pass was
intercepted and Hale made a
beautiful flying-tackle on the
3. Milligan's line held magni-
ficently for five downs. ( Pen-
alty added an extra one.)
Near the beginning of the
second quarter, Goddard got off
one of the many beautiful kicks
1 he made, this one traveling for
75 yards on a fly. Western
kicked back and it looked like
the Herd was beginning to travel
Holsclaw faded back and hit
Bowers with a beautiful pass,
but Bowers in making the catch
couldn't quite keep his balance
and he fell after being in the
open. Holsclaw to Roberts put
the ball on Carolina's 5. Hol-
sclaw fumbled on the three and
that stopped the Buff's threat.
Toward the end of the first
half, Carolina headed for the
Milligan goal, but they didn't
have the punch to take it over.
The Buffs lost little time in
showing Carolina that they
meant business, for on the third
play of the second half, Hols-
claw hit Dugger with a pass!
'for the T. D. Tucker's try for
point was no good. After some
brilliant defensive play by Farry
and Caldwell the ball went over
to Milligan. Holsclaw eluded a
couple of would-be tacklers and
fading back still farther shot a
35 yard pass to Bill Kinsey. Hols-
claw to Kinsey was incomplete
and then Johnny Manning
caught a beauty that put the
ball on the 1 ft. line. At this
point the Western line seemed
to open up and Holsclaw hit
paydirt. This time Tucker made
it good and the score was 13-0.
In the middle of the fourth
quarter Carr intercepted one of
Carolina's passes and fought
his way to the Buff's 28. Hols-
claw to Kinsey was incomplete,
but sonny Hale lugged the ball
for 9 yards. After a 15 yard
.penalty against the Buffs, Hozy
faded way back and Dugger
caught the leather on the run
to make it 19-0. That's the
way she ended.
The fans got a small glimpse
of the Buffs using the "T" for-
mation and they really did well,
for not having more than a
weeks practice with it.
One of the most encouraging
things about the whole game
was to see the splendid way the
Buff reserves played in the ball
game. The whole line played a
good game from beginning to
end, with the passing of Hols-
claw and the running of Hale
looked good also.

In Appreciation
Milligan College wishes to, ex-
press its sincere appreciation to
the many men and women who
through the years have so un-
selfishly given of their talent
and their means to train the
youth of this Nation so as to
.enable them to make thier max-
imum contribution in a Chris-
tian Democracy.
The Milligan College Choir,
dedicated to all that is good,
wholesome, and beautiful in
choral patterns, introduces it-
self to the new students of Mil-
ligan College. Here's hoping
that your college days will be
colored with music, not. only by
your participation as musicians,
but also as appreciative list-
eners.
Yes, music does have its
charms, lifting us to greater
heights and unveiling worlds
heretofore unknown. But the
road skyward is often a rough
one, and as Mr. Warner states
it, "Ninety-nine percent pers-
piration and one percent in-
spiration."
In September of last year, Mr.
Warner, the able potter, took
the clay, (that's us), and decid-
ed to mold our voices into a
choir that would be well pleas-
ing in his sight. Each after-
noon saw us gathered around
[the chapel piano for rehearsal.
Breathing exercises, vocalizing,
preliminary instruction on pitch,
'diction and various technicali-
ties were interspersed with our
attempts to transform the stem-
med notes into that something
called music. Mr. Warner dir-
ected, Mrs. Warner played the
piano, and the choir in general
prayed that the spring months
would find us ready for the pro-
posed tour through the South.
During fall and winter months
local churches, schools, and civic
organizations invited the choir
to sing for special programs.
Then in April Dr. Elliott ac-
companied the group on the tour
through Tennessee, Alabama,
and Mississippi. That two week
trip will long be remembered
as a highlight in our young
lives.
The present finds the charter
members rather rusty and the
new members somewhat be-
wildered as we again launch out
with the Warners directing us.
Two changes have been made
since last year. We have one
hour of academic credit! ex-
tended to all members except
freshmen, thus enabling many
to gain a wider knowledge of
choral singing by practical ex-
perience.
The time for rehearsals has
been moved up to the fourth
period on Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Friday.
On the horizon many good
things lie in store for us. The
first performance was a radio
program on Sunday, October 19.
Early in December, the choir
plans to take a tour through the
states northwest of here, and
in the spring we will tour east-
ward. Other singing engage-
ments are being made also.
As we look . to the past, we
cherish many happy memories;
as we look at the present, we
plan to work diligently; as we
look to the future, we depend
upon you for support and en-
The men's tennis tournament
started and ended with a big
bang. There were two or
three minor upsets and one
major one.
Twenty-three men entered the,
fracas with Meek Robinette,
top-seeded net find from Erwin,
emerging the final victor.
Joe Hagan, Number 7 on last
year's tennis squad, was ranked
second by p re-tournament "Lit-
kenhouses." But, and this was
the big upset, darkhorse Bill
Stanfield came up from no-
where and eliminated Hagan in
three sets. This 'was in the
quarter-finals.
Robinette and Stanfield met
in the finals, with the final score
6-2, 6-4, Robinette winner, go-
ing away.
Out of the twenty-three men
who entered, there are several
bright prospects for next spring's
tennis team, which went un-
defeated last year. Our Smoky
Mountain Conference crown is
still undisputed.

College Players
Begins Season
The Milligan College Players
have gotten their program for
the new school year well under
way. The following officers
were elected at their first meet-
ing: Joe Hagan, President;
Horace Pettit, Vice-President;
Billie Pruitt, Secretary; Andr.ew
Montgomerey, .Treasurer; Betty
Lou Stratton, Social Chairman;
Glenn Corlew, Program Chair-
man; and Emma Allen, Reporter.
Tryouts are being held now
for their pre-Christmas produc-
tion, Dicken's delightful "Cric-
ket on the" Hearth." The Dir-
ector of the Milligan College
Players, Dr. Jennie Lorenz, has
announced that the major pro-
duction of the year will be Jane
Austin's "Pride and Prejudice."
They hope to take this play to
Erwin, Soldier's Home, and pos-
sibly other surrounding com-
munities as in previous years.
Aside from their own work,
they hope to see presentations
of other theatrical groups in
the vicinity. A number of the
group attended "My Sister
Eileen," presented by Johnson
city's little theatre group last
Thursday evening.
Meet The Buffs
Guys and Gals meet Johnny
Manning. John hails from Eliza-
bethton, where he graduated
from high school after lettering
four years in football.
He then entered for the
University of Tennessee where
he continued in his high school
position and lettered two years
there at the fullback slot. John
played in the Rose Bowl game
against Southern California, but
prefers not to talk about the
score. This is his first year of
football for the Buffs and we
hope there will be many more.
Johnny's 170 lbs. are really
packed on his 5' '10" frame
as opposing teams can testify.
Another fellow I want you to
meet is Bill Allen. Bill hails from
Elizabethton, as does Johnny,
where he lettered for three years
at the end position. No doubt the
reason why bill plays such a
smart defensive game and has
such uncanny pass-catching
ability because he has continued
to play end throughout his col-
lege ball playing .Bill has leter-
ed 3 years at Milligan and is
Captain of the Team this year.
His 154 lbsL and 5' 8" have cause-
ed manyopponents to underesti-
mate him, but they soon learned
their lesson after a few plays.
The Milligan Buffs are mak-
ing rapid preparation to put the
finishing touches on their grid
combine before they entrain
for Deland, Fla., where they will
do business with the Stetson
University Hatters.
According to advance reports .
from the Florida school, the
Hatters will field quite a heavy
team when they meet the Buffs
on October 25. In the person of
Jim Olson, a big, powerful 201
pound halfback, transfer from
Georgia Tech, Coach W. C.
(Brady) Cowell has something
to cheer about. Olson teams up
with Bryon Brasington, a Ben-
netsville, S. C, speedster in
what has been giving opposing
elevens trouble all ' season.
Cowell has two outstanding
signal-callers from which to
pick his starting lineup, as both
Clarke McCullough and Bennie
Smith have had a lot of experi-
ence. At fullback Hugh Carl-
ton, a Sanford, Fla., boy, has
been showing particular effec-
tiveness with his battering ram
tactics. Carlton lettered last
year as did his understudy, Bill
Orr, who also carries the ball in
a line cracking manner.
The Hatter forward wall will
average over 200 pounds from
end to end with enough weighty
reserves to keep the line at this
weight point, throughout a ball
game. Biggest man on the
squad is tackle "Dutch" Lorenz
who tips the scales at 265 lbs.
He is capably backed up by
Guard Bill Lanigan, 205 lbs;
Tackle Harrison Solana, 238 lbs;
and George Ossorio and George
Douglas both weighting in at
220 lbs. apiece. Sophomore ends
Bill Perry and Gil Hopkins
weigh 200 and 202 respectively.
Coach Cowell uses a single
wing offense and has any one
of a half dozen backs ready to
pass, run, or punt the pigskin.
In case Cowell decides to use a
razzle-dazzle style against the
Buffs, Nick Triantafellu, a
speedster from Daytona Beach,
Fla., will get the starting call.
Stetson's record last year was
three wins in seven games but
with an increased enrollment
bringing the total to 2200 stud-
ents, the Hatters will be a tough
foe for the Buffs.

College Alumni Reorganized For
Greater Interest Among Grads
Cochrane Confers With
Southern Secretary
Asa F. Cochrane. Academic
Dean of Milligan, left for Birm-
ingham, Alabama, last night to
confer with M. C. Huntley, Sec-
retary of the Southern Associa-
tion of College and Secondary
Schools, to seek a higher rating
for Milligan College.
The Academic Committee has
been meeting each week since
the term opened, and many
changes are in the making for
next year. Dean Cochrane will
present these changes to Sec-
retary Huntley for the Associa-
tion's approval.
Dean Cochrane also plans to
visit the Emory University of
School of Medicine in Atlanta,
3e .: ■-.-.
On June 14, 1947 the Milligan
College Alumni Association met
in the college auditorium for
the purpose of reorganization.
For several years this Associa-
tion, feeling the influence of the
war, was inactive. It is hoped
that the new association will
create interest in Milligan Col-
lege among all graduates and
former students.
For the first time in its his-
tory, the Alumni Association
is operated by a Board of
Alumni. The 33 members of
this Board were selected ac-
cording to geographic location*
influence in their particular
communities, and interest in
their Alma Mater. It is the
plan to add to this group as the
need arises and to make one
member of each graduating -
class a board member. Mr.
Den Pearce is the representative

Milligan Has Saturday
Radio Program
Milligan College now has
twenty five minutes of radio
time over station WETB that is
being put to good use. The pro-
grams produced by the school
vary in nature, but their com-
mon aim is to give the residents
of the surrounding communities
an inside look at Milligan.
The programs under the dir-
ect™ of John "Fizzby" Harris
Betty Lou Stratton, Glenn Cor-
lew. and Joe Hagan have
tcaturcd such campus person-
alties as Dean A. F. Cochrane
and Coach Rice. Jafiet Caflett
has thrilled the radio audience
with her playing of the piano
and Ed Griffith has made many
a house ring with his bass voice
The music for the program
including an original theme is
furnished by the "Rhvthm
Masters." a salon groun taken
from the Milligan band. Ralph
Thorpe does a good job on the
regular vocal work.
Campus news is taken care
of in a radio column by Millie
Coll who's motto is. "If you
don't hear it in my column,
it s a rumor."'

A Letter To Milligan Students
From A Milligan Alumna
DEAR MILLIGAN STUDENTS:
Only a few years ago we were in your places! Day after
day for four years we admired the same campus; we lived in
the same rooms; we occupied the same chapel seats; we had
sjp-iilar problems and interests. We love Milligan College. It
is only natural that we like to come "home" at least once a year.
We like to see it all again, to' reminisce with our old "buffalo
buddies," and to meet you. We like to join in your "Stampede 'em
Buffaloes" and we get just as much thrill as you do out of a
victory on the gridiron. We used to have championship teams too!
While we were at Milligan we learned that there is some-
thing more to a college education than lessons learned, games
won and friendships formed. We learned a certain kind of
Christian influence — an indescribable loyalty that we have
always called "The Milligan Spirit" Many of us have at-
tended other schools, and some have journeyed even around the
world since we were in college, but we have never found that
exact spirit anywhere else. It is that which calls us back to
Milligan for Homecoming. We have entrusted you with this
precious spirit and it is our desire that it will prove a definite
influence in your lives, as it has in ours!
Some of us have been your teachers, your pastors, your
clerks, your friends, even your parents. We're anxious to see
you again on November 8th.
With sincere good wishes,
A MILLIGAN ALUMNA
MRS. E. G. LODTER
To The Students
This is Homecoming Week at Milligan College and scores of
the "Old Grads" will be returning to the campus to renew ac-
quaintances and to see our football team in action. .
Some of these alumni are coming from distant points and
are going to great expenses just to spend a few hours on the
Milligan campus and "relive" some of their past experiences.
Most of them have been looking forward to the event since last
Fall. Some, perhaps will be the first trip back to the campus
in several years.
When they arrive, it's up to the student body to see that they
enjoy their stay. The Alumni Committee has planned a very
fine program but that program alone will not suffice It's, up to
YOU to make the Homecoming a success. When you see an
alumnus, don't hurry past without a glance in his direction. A
cheery hell'o, a few placards of welcome and the feeling that
He's among friends will mean more to an old Buff than any-
thing else.

DEAR JIMMY,
Thanks for your very interesting letter. I hope you are over
your sickness by now. ■ Maybe" someday you will learn when to
stop eating cake and ice cream.
Yes, Jimmy, we do have classes in college, too. We just
finished the first half of the first semester (Mom can tell you
what a semester is — it's about four months long, and it crawls).
This is about the time that all the professors decide to give tests
so they can tell whether to put an E or an F on our grade cards.
They have us working so hard now between our lessons and cam-
pus activities that everyone seems to be learning more and more
about less and less oftener and oftener. Anyway, most of us
are learning how to speak in public pretty well, now, and to
recite on various subjects without previous preparation (the
subject, of course, depends on the class we are in when we recite.)
By the way, Jimmy, one of the boys paid me the SWEETEST
compliment last night He came up and said, "Did you know
that you have a melancholy face?" And I answered (sweet,
unsuspecting soul that I am), "No!" And then he said, "Well,
you have — a head like a melon and a face like a collie!" Grrrrrr.
What would YOU do?
Oh, yes, a Pre-Med student is one who is taking a course in
preparation for going to a medical school to be a doctor. All
that business about the jeep and the bones was a part of their
initiation. Some fun, eh!
Which reminds me, it won't be any fun if I flunk that English
exam tomorrow, so Til hang my "close" on this line and say,
Yours till the book ends,
SIS
"Man or mouse?" you ask me.
Well, I spend the days attending
classes with half-insane fana-
tics and spend the nights
squeaking in dormitory attics,
so I am unmistakably Minnie,
the Milligan mouse. I ishall
creep out of my inconspicuous
corner long enough for you to
sweep out the cobwebs for
Homecoming inspection, and
meanwhile; import with some
choice bits of rambling reports
from my vagabond life.
Viewing the campus today, I
note that there are many mar-
ried couples attending Milligan
who have succumed to the fact
that truly, "Marriage is the
splice of life"! The Pucketts,
Caricos, and Matherlys are now
over in the cafteria eating lunch.
Hand in hand, I see Lee and
Bill Smith standing in line for
their cornbread and applesauce.
Both being former Pennsylvan-
ians, they seem to like then-
home in Tennessee. Who is the
man with the smile sitting at
the end of the cafeteria coun-
ter? Alene Bailey's husband,
■Walter. Here comes Dave and
Dottie over from their apart-
ment in Wolf Hall, Dottie still
seems like a little "GURLEY"
to me, but I hear her life is
mighty "ROSEY." Over in the
adjoining room are Blondie and
Duard "Crip" Walker. Every-
one is banking on Blondie to
help Duard back on his own two
feet before the first session of
the renowned "Snow Club"
which originated last winter.
Mary and Harry sound like
something out of one of my
poems. They get along just
FINE. I guess L. A. Hill and
Penelope were too busy or key-
up with their coke machine
business to come to lunch today.
I don't see them.
I was peering around the cor-
ner of the organ today in chapel,
and saw so many women stroll
in with their hair, bleached and
otherwise, in bangs, that I think
they could definitely start an
"Ishkabibble" club. May 1 also
put that guy Dale from Ohio
up for membership? -
I donV mean to squeak on
myself, but I had to cut a class
the other day because I couldn't
stand the bright ties Joe Hagen
and Glenn Corlew were sporting.
I see a lot of students and my
nominees for neatness would in-
clude Bill Hale. Bob Pauley, and
Clara -Ward Wray. Duncan's
blue eyes and easy smile in-
trigue me. I just found out that
Christine Fair is Joe's sister.
Joe "he chapeau" Fair was one
of our old buddy seniors last
year. Judging from the beaming
expression of Bob E.'s face, I
should guess that he has some
outside interest. Could it be
North Carolina? My newest
name for Looney's car would be
"The Body."
Before crawling back into my
hole, I would like to give some
advice to all men of Milligan
concerning what you may and
may not call your woman. "You
may call her a kitten, but you
must not call her a cat. You may
call here a mouse, but you must
not call her a rat You may
call her a chicken, but you must
not call her a hen. You may call
her a duck, but you must not
call her a goose. You may call
her a vision, but you must not
call her a sight"! Squeak,
squeak!
There isn't any building that possesses more renown;
Than the little frame postoffice of a little college town;
Where memories gather daily, and a cord winds back to home
With a soft incessant pulling as you first begin to roam-
When wide roads start the calling that will some day lead away
From the quiet lane s that wandered through a sun-lit
yesterday,
Each noon when chapel's over they come with eager eyes.
Those students who are longing to behold the glad surprise;
For there is no thrill of waiting ever told in poem or tale
That is equal to the hour when you're waiting for the mail;
When you watch the hurried postman as he sorts the letters
through
As you breathe a prayer unchanging that there's something
there for you.
The feeling is exultant when he puts a letter in,
As the pile was growing smaller and your hopes were get-
ting thin;
But when the box is empty and you know that nothing came,
A shadow spans the campus and the day is not the same.
And when your tasks are ended and you go to bed at night
Somehow it isn't natural that someone didn't write.
Day after day some students come and find their boxes bare
Because the folks forgot to write — not that they didn't care;
But if they could see the students that go down the village street,
Trying to be cheerful to the classmates whom they meet,
Returning merry greetings and attempting to conceal
The fact they're disappointed, I wonder how they'd feeL
It's the simple things that interest us, just what you did today.
What you had for dinner, and what you found to say;
The gossip of the neighborhood and if you're feeling well.
Just any simple little thing that you may care to telL
No boys and girls will wander so very far away.
From parents who will write them a letter every day.

The Right Word
Jimmy Osborn, blind, 9-year-old, English piano protege
brought to America by Captain O'Connell, can't sign his name,
has had no schooling, but he has a touch of pedantry in his
nature. When he had ice cream in Ireland, he remarked: 'It's
better than in England. It's because they use the right ingredi-
ents here."
"Ingredients?" teased Captain O'Connell, "That's a nice word,
Jim. Where did you learn it?"
"I could have said stuff," Jimmy pontificated, "but I wouldn't
The trouble with people is that the're too lazy to use the
right word."
—from a story in COLLrERS
CHAPEL CHIMES
Youll never get dizzy from
doing too many good turns!
Were You There?
Where were YOU at 10:00
o'clock yesterday m or n i n g?
Wednesday morning? Tuesday
morning? Monday morning?
SUNDAY morning? You were
probably up and around "some-
where" on week day mornings,
and you should be in church
"somewhere" on Sunday morn-
ings. There are several fine
churches in Johnson City, EHza-
bethton, and elsewhere, to say
nothing of the Hopwood Mem-
orial Christian Church on the
north end of the campus. This
latter is conveniently located,
its services do not begin until
10:00 a. m. — and there is a
special class in the church
school for college students-
Practice your religion at school
as- well as at home. ATTEND
BIBLE SCHOOL AND CHURCH
EVERY SUNDAY!
Religious Census
Are you interested in statistics?
It has been said that if all the
people who go to sleep on
church benches were laid end
to end — they'd be more com-
fortable.
But what we really started
out to tell you was that we
have taken a "religious census"
of Milligan College students
(from the registrar's office) and
have found out that the follow-
ing churches are represented
thus: Christian— 170. Baptist—
105, Methodist — 94, Presbyter-
ian— 24, Catholic — 8, Lutheran
— 5, Church of the Brethern — 3,
Church of God— 2, Evangelical
U. B. — 2, Episcopal — 1, "Protes-
tant"— 3 and No Church— 39.
What The Scriptures Say!
One of the slogans of the
early leaders in the Restoration
Movement was "Where the Bible
speaks, we speak; where the
Bible is silent, we are silent"
In this column we shall — with-
out comment — let the Scriptures
"speak for themselves." Next
Sunday, November 9, is the
Temperance Sunday for this
quarter, so, appropriately
enough, here is "What the Scrip-
tures Say.'*
About Drinking
"Wine is a mocker, strong
drink is raging; and whosoever
is deceived thereby is not wise."
— Proverbs 20:1.
"Woe to him that giveth his
neighbor to drink, that puttest
thy bottle to him, and maketh
him drunken also." — Habakkuk
2:15.
"And be not drunk with wine,
wherein is excess; but be filled
with the spirit."— Ephesians 5:18
"But they also have erred
through wine, and through
strong drink are out of the way;
the priest and the prophet have
erred through strong drink, they
are swallowed up of wine, thev
are out of the way through
strong drink; they err in vision,
they stumble in judgment." —
Isaiah 28:7.

THE Buffalo

The buffalo is back on the
job again, lurking in campus
nooks and corners, seeing, over-
hearing, revealing
Those of you who haven't
heard Dorothy Hendershot and
Ralph McLean play "Bells of
St. Mary's" on the marimba
don't know what you've missed.
Tell us, Ralph, did you miss
those cues intentionally?
The Buffalo's nomination for
this week's "steadiest steadies"
are Chuck and Gerena. It does
our hearts good to see such con-
stant, unchanging devotion!
Here's an interesting triangle
we've had our eye on . . . Lois,
Harry, and Jack. From where
we're standing, it looks as if
Harry is way out ahead.
Hoyt thinks Allene has the
most BEAUTIFUL eyes ! !
We have a sneaking suspicion
that Ernie Payne MAY by carry-
ing a torch for Mary Frances.
Thanks for the tip, Prof!
Further snooping revealed
that Phyllis is tired of being
taken for granted. She'd like
you to ask her for dates in ad-
vance, Eddie!
Dale, do you and Carolyn al-
ways take Mattie and Emma
along when you go to the
movies? You have our per-
mission to take in the town with-
out a chaperone!
Did you hear about the foot-
ball player who got himself all
fouled up by sending a postcard
from Florida to, not one, but
two campus beauties? That in
itself wasn't so bad, but the
cards were IDENTICAL. Shorty,
how could you?
By merest chance, we heard
a chow line conversation that
revealed the fact that Bob
Pauley and Wes Vaughn have
secret aspirations to become bal-
let dancers. If you'll ask them,
we're sure they'll be glad to
demonstrate the latest steps.
Ralph Thorpe has chosen to
learn Spanish in an easy, inter-
esting way. Nydia, are you
running competition with Prof.
Lodter?
Judy, Jean, and Doris were
beaming this past weekend.
They were all showing off "off
campus" beaus. And speaking
of imported dates, Jake looked
right happy, too! We'll men-
tion no names, but her initials
are Lillian Price.
And we were really happy to
see Buddy Meadows on campus
Saturday. Buddy was one of
the Milligan crowd last year,
though now he has deserted us
for Emory and Henry.
Wonder what Paul "Sen."
Stewart is running for? We've
seen him "campaigning" with
more "mama's babies," recently
Prof. Rice, we think we've hit
on a way to help your track
team gain speed. Quite ac-
cidentally, of course. You see,
every morning in Prof. Oakes'
Education class Manning, Hols-
claw, and Tucker race like mad
to get a seat by Mattie. They've
actually broken records! So
our idea is to have Mattie at the
finishing line. Will you give
it a try?
And here's a plug for Jug.
You haven't LIVED till you've
eaten an Idiot's Delight. If you
can eat three, they're on the
house. But take our advice,
don't try it! The resulting night-
mares just aren't worth it.
We spied Henry Simmons the
other day cornered by three
Milligan females. Careful, Hobe,

ing, November 18th.
The students who will partici-
pate are: Ernestine Lowe,

The female populace of
Milligan College has recently
organized a girls' council which
promises to do outstanding work
during the remainder of the
school year. Acting as co-presi-
dents are Betty Ruth Williams,
Lois Pettit. and Lois Keyes re-
presenting Hardin Hall, Cheek
Hall, and the off campus stud-
ents respectively. Other mem-
bers of the council, chosen from
each of the classes, are Allene
Branham, Janie Cross, Gerena
Christian, Nan Gilbert, Terry
Stone, Janet Catlett, Sammy
Whitehead, Joy Marsh, Nancy
Tipton, and Anna Margaret
Holzer. The executive cabinet
will hold its regular meeting on
the second Thursday of each
month at 7:00 P. M., in the par-
lor of Hardin Hall. The entire
group will meet on the first and
third Tuesdays.
The first meeting was held
on November 4. Miss Conover,
Head of the Home Economics
Department, led in a discus-
sion on etiquette. This was
followed by a skit on right and
wrong things to do presented
by Betty Ruth Williams and
Janet Catlett.
Miss Welshimer, Dean of
Women, has been instrumental
in the organization of this group
and tells us that their main
purpose is to unite the girls of
the school and to promote bet-
ter understanding among them.
They plan to discuss various
problems which may arise and
will be in charge of social func-
tions. One of their first ac-
tivities will be the Homecoming
Tea on Sunday afternoon, Nov-
ember 9, at 3:00 P. M.
Last Monday evening the
Christian Service Club met in
the Prayer Room and conducted
its meeting as a Labor Party.
After a brief devotional service
the members, all of whom were
dressed in old clothes, went to
work taking down the curtains,
sandpapering the furniture,
painting the ceiling, and other-
wise helping in the process of
redecoration. After laboring
cheerfully through the evening,
refreshments were served and
the meeting was adjourned.
The purpose of this redecorat-
ing project is to provide a
devotional chapel for the school.
The club members hope to com-
plete the job by Thanksgiving.
The room is to be open for pri-
vate meditation during the day
and will also serve as a meeting
place for the club. Plans have
been made to purchase chairs,
drapes, and other accessories
which will lend to the spiritual
atmosphere of the room and en-
courage the habit of prayer.

A Scientific Study
Of A Sophomore
Sophomores are the second
highest species of the Phylum
"Collegiates." However, they
are no more fortunate than the
freshman in many ways. Their
only advantage is that they
have experienced one year as a
freshman and have formulated
some sort of theory concerning
their fate. This specimen is
also divided into three classes.
The first class consists of those
students who, in their freshman
year, were attracted to the vari-
ous phases of activity offered in
college and have returned to
absorb more of this unusual
pastime. This group has caught
the spirit of the campus and are
very likely to succeed in life as
they . have learned to adapt
themselves to different en-
vironments. If we were to ask
one of these veterans why he
or she had returned, they might
answer that they had gotten
something out of their freshman
year and were eager to gain
more knowledge. Or perhaps
the students were particularly
fascinating and the professors
inspiring. They may have felt
a lump in their throats at times
last summer as they remember-
ed the inspirational chapel mes-
sages and "Sweet Hour of
Prayer," and thought of our
own pretty little church which
gives one the feeling that God
must always be present there.
But let us go on to the next
class.
These Sophomores were not
particularly impressed with their
freshman year. But they are
the patient souls who hope for
better things and will probably
find them if they engage in the
fellowship of everyone here and
once feel that spirit of old
Milligan.
The last group are those who
discovered no appreciation for
college life at all and have re-
turned only because of lack of
something better to do. To
these, the prospect of the cold,
cruel world is not as inviting
even as college. We hope that
in time Milligan will grow on
them and as they pass through
the era of the Sophomore and
advance to the realm of the
Junior, they will begin to as-
sume the role of the active
participater in our college life.

Before a capacity crowd of 7,000, the Carson-Newman

Milligan fumbled the opening kickoff and the Eagles
recovered on the Buffs 2 yard line. On the first play

Derting Injured In
Fall At Milligan
Ralph Derting, a Sophomore
at. Milligan, fell from a ladder
and broke his back Wednesday
afternoon. The accident occur -
ed while Ralph was working
in the college Prayer Room be-
ing redecorated by the Christian
Service Club.
It is reported by the attend-
ing doctor at Mountain Home,
the hospital to which Derting
was taken, that Ralph suffered
a compression fracture of the
first lumbar vertebrate. At the
hospital he was placed in a cast
and the doctor says that he will
have to remain in the cast for
about two months.
Ralph is well know on the
campus for his musical talent.
He is also an active member of
the Christian Service Club.
The new 1948-49 Milligan Col-
lege catalog is nearing comple-
tion so far as the committee on
publication is concerned. The
general plan and layout of last
year's catalog will be followed
with changes in faculty and
courses of study.
The same courses numbering
will be followed using the num-
bers of 100 to 200 to indicate
courses open for freshmen; 200
to 300 for sophomores; 300 to
400 for juniors and above 400
for seniors. Juniors and sen-
ior courses are open to both
juniors and seniors but Dean
Cochrane announced that fresh-
men and sophomores must limit
their work to courses numbered
in their respective years.
The new catalog will be ready
for distribution around the first
of the year.
PARDON PLEASE
We wish to correct the
error made in the last issue
regarding the Senior nominee

nominee. Our apologies to

Homecoming Queen
Carolyn Walker, Senior Class
representative, was crowned
Homecoming Queen at the half-
time of the Milligan-Tennessee
Wesleyan game by Duard Walk-
er, Vice-president of the "M"
Club.
Queen Walker had as her at-
tendants the nominees from the
other three classes. They were:
Lois Neeley, Junior; Kitty King,
Sophomore; and Jane Vest,
Freshman.
J. H. Kegley, President of the
Milligan College Alumni Asso-
ciation presented the Queen
with a bouquet of flowers and
each of her attendants with a
corsage.
Pre-Med Initiates
Ten Neophrenics
Henry Evans, President of the
Milligan Pre-Med Club, an-
nounced that ten Neophrenics
were formerly initiated in to the
club last week in services held
in the lobby of Pardee Hall.
This ceremony concluded sev-
eral weeks of pledgeship during
which the candidates for mem-
bership were observed carrying
bones, and preforming numerous
antics.
The membership of the Pre-
Med Club is restricted to those
who are preparing for the study
of medicine or some related
field..
Those initiated were: Bill
August, Emogene Boiling, Anna
Dugger, Bob Griffin, Thelma
Gwin, Bobbie Gutschalk, Har-
mon Moss, Francis Powers Paul
Semmler, and James Sublett.
This Is How
It Is Done
The time is late Friday night,
the place is an empty class-
room in the Administration
Building — empty that is, with
the exception of four figures,
one girl and three boys, gather-
ed around a desk. These four
figures are the Radio Committee
absorbed in th& task of making
the final draft of the script to
be used on "Milligan at the
Mike," the following afternoon.
All week the program has been
shaping up and has been re-
hearsed and timed just a short
while ago on the stage in the Au-
ditorium. The problem now at
hand is to work the various parts
together, compose the proper in-
troductions and to make sure
that the entire works is not a
second long or a second too short
"Fizzby" Harris, Committee
Chairman who doubles as An-
nouncer, is searching diligently
for the proper descriptive ad-
jective with which to get some-
one on the air and to thank
them when they are through.
Betty Lou Stratton, , alias
'Millie Coll," is giving her
column a final look-at to see that
her low down on campus ac-
tivities is up to date and cul-
tivating a confidential tone in
her voice.
Glenn, Corlew script writer,
is checking all material for
misused words and gramatical
errors, while in the back of his
mind, he is already thinking of
ideas to use next week.
Joe Hagan can only say one
thing and that is "How long
will it take?" for it is his job
as Program Director to see that
the time for this and the time
for that add up to the proper
sum, namely, twenty-four min-
utes and thirty seconds.
The object of all this work
is to produce a Radio Show
that Milligan College can be
proud to bring as much of her
talent to as many people of the
community as possible, thus let-
mg everyone know what really
takes place on our campus.
Grades Released By
Registrar's Office
Edwin G. Lodter, Registrar,
announced last week that grades
have been given to the students,
and a copy of the grades will
be sent to the students' parents
or guardian.
Professor Lodter pointed out
that these grades are just mid-
semester check-up grades They
will not be recorded on the per-
manent record sheet.
The Registrar also stated that
while a grade of D is accepted
for credit here, most schools
will not recognize such a grade
upon transfer.
Byron Bags Buck
Bryon Nichols, a senior on the
campus, shot a deer on a hunt-
ing trip last weekend. The
deer, an eightpoint buck weigh-
ing about 250 pounds, was shot
about four miles out of Norton,
Virginia.

Honor To Whom Honor Is Due
The usual run-of-the-mill editorial devotes itself to the
stimulation of public opinion against some social, political
or moral anomaly, but few, if any, have a good word to
say for the loyal citizenery who are doing all in their
power to create a better state, community or college. This
editorial is dedicated to the members of the Milligan
Family who deserve special commendation.
Laurels to our Coach, his Staff, the Squad, the Cheer-
leaders and to all the students who faithfully backed them
at all of the games. It was reported that Mr. School Spirit
suffered a setback early in the season but a shot of Vitiman
"M" Complex perked the old boy up before the Carson
Newman game and he's felt fit as a fiddle ever since. Hats
off to the Letter Men!
The Young Ladies of Milligan are worthy of high praise
for doing something about the cry for student government
by organizing a Girl's Council. And speaking about
women, the male population has reported some mighty
fine housekeepers from Cheek and Hardin over the Home-
coming weekend. Could they do the same now, girls?
We can't forget the members of the Milligan Family
who can "take it on the chin" when the going's tough.
Included within their ranks are the Freshmen who' have
learned the thermo-dynamics of the Milligan Power House,
and the Pre-Med Club Candidates who faithfully com-
pleted the club's initiatory agenda, not to mention their
roommates who stayed up with them all night. The mem-
bers of the Sling and Crutch Club also deserves applause
for their heroic spirit while watching from the side-lines.
The highest honor includes a $10 orchid and his or
her name in the Hall of Fame to the student who spent two
hours in preparation for each class but made all D's or less
in the nine week check-up.
Complaining
Have you noticed our torn and tattered American
Flag waving in a neglected sort of way from the staff?
As free citizens living under a free flag, we should respect
and honor that which symbolizes our American freedom.
It is a poor representation of the better-than-average
spirit of Americanism that exists at Milligan College to
have an American Flag in poor condition waving twenty-
four hours a day from the staff on the campus.
Thanksgiving Day Thought
A rich man was once asked which of his many pos-
sessions he cherished the most. Instead of pointing to
a beautiful painting on his office wall or to the huge
diamond on his finger, he went to his files and took out
a letter written in pencil on lined paper. It was from a
little boy to whom he had given a bicycle. The man
said, "I have given many gifts but no one ever showed as
much appreciation as this little chap. Some didn't even
thank me."
Ingratitude to those who have helped us along our
way is despisable but ingratitude to God is a hundred
times worse. This is His world. We are merely care-
takers.
The first Thanksgiving Day came into existance be-
cause the Pilgrims were grateful to God for keeping them
safe through a hard winter. They set aside this special
day on which to thank Him. Our nation sets it aside
as a holiday for the same reason, yet all too often we
forget to even turn our thoughts to God but think of
it as a day of feasting and of sports.
Everyday should be a special day of thanksgiving for
Christians but on this special day we should give even
more thought to our blessings.
This year let every one of us think seriously of our
many blessings. When we begin to count them, we'll
be surprised at the .many we have. On Thanksgiving morn-
ing may every person on our campus, turn to God with a
heart filled with deep appreciation.
— Mildred Welshimer
After a great deal of consul-
tation with fellow rodents in-
habiting a near-by dormitory
attic, I again obtained permis-
sion to come out of my hole and
sneak over to the ad building to
mouse in on your classes.
These Witty Sophomores
I was chewing on the heel of
Fred Tucker's shoe during Prof.
Oakes' psychology class where a
grave discussion was being con-
ducted concerning whether or
not a person could be happy
with just the possessions of
primitive man. Harold Pope
declared that he could be per-
fectly happy just sitting in the
shade of trees loaded with lots
of fruit — providing some were
tomatoes!
Kilroy In School
Yesterday, Prof. Cochrane
had patiently explained to the
whole class that 1000 grams
equal 1 Kilogram and that 1000
watts equals 1 Kilowatt. Upon
entering the classroom today
he found a new entry in the
metric table written on the black
board. "1000 Roys equal I
Kilroy."
What Will They Be Up
To Next
In the auditorium, the cheer-
leaders were busy practicing a
new yell — "Hold that hem line!
Hold that hem line!"
I Love American History
. . . Bull
Miss Jones related this his-
torical incident about the fam-
ous American Indian by the
name of Short Cake. When he
died, all the young braves were
arguing about who should have
the honor of burying him. At
last his squaw came to them and
said, "Squaw bury Short Cake."
Oliver Wendell Homes
Said It
"Easy crying widows take new
husbands soonest. There's noth-
ing like wet weather for trans-
planting."
Logical Conclusion
I especially enjoyed my class
in logic. I learned that school
brings knowledge. Knowledge
brings smartness. Smartness
brings enemies, enemies are
dangerous. Therefore school is
dangerous. I'm going home.

DEAR SPECK:
Well, old pal, I certainly have been busy this week. Last
Monday night all the freshmen boys were called before the
POWERHOUSE court in the basement of Pardee Hall and did
they (the upperclassmen) lay the law down to us.
1. We aren't supposed to wear high school letters on the
campus.
2. We aren't to skip prayer meetings.
3. We attend all pep rallies.
4. We don't create disturbance in the dorms.
5. We can't cut into chow line ahead of others.
And — oh yes! We have to wear rat caps.
That seems like an awful lot to do— or rather not to do,
doesn't it. But it isn't too bad. Most colleges are far harder on
the "rats' 'and I guess we're getting a break after all.
It seems the POWERHOUSE is one of the oldest frat on the
campus and was born about a week after Joseph Hopwood hitch-
ed his mare to one of the trees out by the fishpond. President
Hopwood founded Milligan, in case you're wondering). The
purpose of the POWERHOUSE is to promote better school spirit
and to imbue the students with a "will to win" complex. I think
it would be a good idea for some of the upperclassmen to go
through too, for some of them haven't enough school spirit to even
come to pep rallies. But that's getting away from the point.
I think the POWERHOUSE is a splendid idea if only we can
have 100% co-operation from the freshmen. I'm afraid though,
some of the frosh boys think thy're too important to come to the
meetings and will make it harder on all of us.
Next year — when we're sophombres — we're going to get an
early start and give the incoming class a WARM reception.
We'll amigo, I have to get on the books now for Prof. Lodter
is planning a leetle test for all us fresmman Espanol students.

DEAR SIS,
Your report card came this morning and mom has been
mornin all day about yur grade. But I'm glad to know that I'm
smarter than you cause I go two Bs and and A and only one d.
But don't wurry about yur low grades becus I think like Josh
Billings ses that it is better not to kno so mutch than to kno
so menny things that aint so. Aint that so, sis!
But then I think that teechurs just don't understand us
pupuls sometimes. Just yesterday our english teechur tole me
to use fascinate in a sentence and I told her that dad had a vest
with nine buttons on it but he cud only fasten ate. But maybe
I didn't say the rite thing besus teechur looked awful disgusted.
Will you have any classes on Thanksgiving Day, sis? Why
don't you take time to rite me that day — or maybe you will want
to get yur Christmas cards reddy to mail or think .up what you
can give peepul this year. Mom just got me a new sweater last
week but I need a mess kit for our scout hikes.
Yes, sis, it wus a good complemunt about yur melencoly
face and I got a complemunt last week myself when one of the
feelas sed I wus a wit and the teechur must think I'm purty good
too because she sed he was helf rite anyway. Hopin you are the
same.
Yours till the tree leaves,

An Old Book Store
There's something rich and mellow in an old book
store . . . something in the musty air from old books galore
. . . Something oh, so charming and very kind to you . . .
Something never found in stores where book are new.
For even quiet thoughts expressed in words upon
a page, exude a dewy fragrance and improve with age.

The Next Best
A traveling salesman wished
to "make' 'a town a few miles
off the highway he was on, so
he ventured to take a short cut
along a little traveled road. He
was speeding merrily along his
way when the engine of his car
suddenly stopped. He descend-
ed and presently discovered the
cause of the trouble. He then
looked for assistance. The only
sign of habitation was a small
cottage nearby.
"Pardon me," said the motor-
ist to the old woman who open-
ed the door in answer to his
knock, "but do you by any
chance have a little lubricating
oil?"
The old woman shook her
head.
"Any oil will do," he told her.
"Haven't you got any castor
oil?"
"I ain't got a drop in the
house," explained the old wo-
man regretfully, "but I could
fix you up with a dose of salts,
if that'll do." '
It is less dangerous to slip
with the foot' than with the
tongue!
COMING SOON
Next Thursday — Thanksgiving
Day — millions of people around
the world will join in the
American Bible Society's an-
nual Thanksgiving - to - Christ-
mas Bible reading program. The
general theme this year is
"ONE WORLD— ONE BOOK,"
with the daily readings treating
29 different "ones" from the
Word of God such as "One
Birth," "One God," and "One
Blessing."
Many agencies are cooperat-
ing with the American Bible
Society in the promotion of this
campaign. Churches will dis-
play posters on their bulletin
boards. The President, govern-
nors, mayors, and others will
give messages urging Bible read-
ing. The press and the radio
will also give assistance. The
American Bible Society. Sup-
plies bookmarks with the daily
Bible readings. A supply has
been ordered for the stud-
ents of Milligan College so that
all who wish to participate in
this program may do so. Any-
one who will devote a portion
of each,, day to the reading of
the Scriptures will find it a
valuable investment of time.
Enlisting in this special cam-
paign will be a good way to be-
gin a profitable habit.
SAY ABOUT THEMSELVES
WHAT THE SCRIPTURE
"For the Word of God is bving,
and active, and sharper than any
two-edged sword, and piercing
even to the dividing of soul and
spirit, of both joints and mar-
row, and quick to discern the
thoughts and intent of the
heart." — Hebrews 4:12
"But abide thou in the things
which thou hast learned and
hast been assured of, knowing
of whom thou hast learned
them; and that from a babe thou
hast known the sacred writings
which are able to make thee
wise unto salvation through
faith which is in Christ Jesus."
"Every scripture inspired of
God is also profitable for teach-
ing, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction which is in
righteousness: that the man of
God may be complete, furnished
completely unto every good
work."— II Timothy 3:16-17.
"Heaven and earth shall pass
away, but my words shall not
pass away." — Matthew 24:35.
"Seek ye out of the book of
the Lord, and read" — Isaiah
"Study to show thyself ap-
proved unto God, a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of
truth."— II Timothy 2:15.

STAMPEDE SPORTS
I heard the other day of a
public announcer at a football
game who got a little disgusted
because the referees had almost
taken the game into their own
hands and were calling penal-
ties just about every play.
Finally he could contain his dis-
gust no longer and he anounced
over the public address system,
"Let's all sit back in our seats
and relax and watch the re-
ferees play drop the hanky."
(Any connection between this
instance and the Wesleyan game
is entirely coincidental).
It has been a foregone con-
clusion that Lynn Goddard (I
boot 'em where you can't get
them) was a fine running back,
but it remained for the Wes-
leyan game to bring out the most
beautiful run of the night and
Lynn's best of the season.
The Buffs will really miss
Capt. Bill Alien, Jim Harmon,
and Duard Walker next season.
Bill has played a consistent and
steady game at the terminal and
his leadership on and off the
field has done a lot of good.
Jim, who was Capt. of last year's
Burley Bowl squad, did himself
proud this year by being one
of the most feared tackles in
the conference. Duard met
with an unfortunate ankle in-
jury in the Southeastern La.
game, but up until the time he
was hurt he played bang-up
ball.
Several weeks ago a call was
issued by Coach Rice for cross-
country men to report. Four
reported. They practiced daily
until they became discouraged
and then they finally quit. Now
that football is over there ought
to be a number of good men
join the various activities in the
sports program at Milligan.
Surely there will be some cross-
country men.
"Hozey" Holsclaw really got
hot against Wesleyan (in chilly
weather too) when he completed
five out of the first five passes
he tried.
The Buffs have completed a
good season, riot an outstanding
one by record of won and lost,
but by the kind of ball playing
in all of them. Spirit ran high
all year.

Buffs Overwhelm
Wesleyan 13-6
Johnny Manning Scores
Twice For Buffaloes
The Milligan Buffaloes cele-
brated Homecoming in a heart-
warming fashion before a crowd
of 5,000 chill-thrilled fans, when
they turned back a fighting
Tennessee Wesleyan eleven to
the tune of 13-6.
Midway in the first quarter,
Harkleroad blocked Heitz's kick
and Jack Bible fell on the ball
on the Bulldog 44, Dugger
swivel-hipped his way to the 31,
and then Holsclaw took to the
air. He hit Kinsey and Manning
on succesive trys and again con-
nected to Hale for 35 yards and
a first down on the ten. Dug-
ger drove for five and Manning
hit the center for the touchdown-
Tucker added the extra point.
Repeated fumbles and inter-
ception of passes by both sides
marked the time for the next
two periods. Wesleyan backs,
Aiken and Blackley, made re-
peated gains through the Buff
line until they reached scoring
position, when the Herd would
tighten up their defensive.
Wesleyan Blocks Punt-Scores
Early in the fourth period,
Lynn Goddard's kick was block-
ed and he recovered on the 1 ft.
line. Wesleyan took over and
Davis scored on a line buck. The
try for point was wide.
The Thundering Herd got up
some steam and five plays later
had chalked up another marker.
Manning ran the kickoff back
to the Buff 38. On the next
play he threw a 35 yard pass
to Dugger and then he drove for
12 and Hale added 12 more to
put the ball on the one. Man-
ning went over standing up and
Tucker's try was no good.
In the closing minutes of the
game the Buffs almost scored
again as Goddard did some
beautiful broken field running
to the Wesleyan 22 before he
fumbled and the Bulldogs took
over.
Crain and Wright played out-
standing ball,' but were hard
pressed by Kinsey, Fine, and
Caldwell for defensive honors.
The whole Buff backfield took
turns starring, as each played
spectacular ball.
Score by periods:
MILLIGAN 7 0 0 6—13
WESLEYAN 0 0 0 6—6
In Muddy Field
The mighty Appalchian Moun-
taineers,, bent on revenge for
a 6-0 beating at the hanks of
Milligan last season, dealt the
Buffs a stinging 27-0 setback
last Saturday night in Eliza-
bethton.
A crowd of 3700 fans shivered
together in Childress Stadium
to watch the heavier Mountain-
eers and their great backfield of
Hollars, Murdock, Bryson and
Mills completely befuddle the
lighter Buffs with their devast-
ating land attack that rolled to
touchdowns in every period.
Milligan, with her pasing at-
tack rendered useless by the
slippery condition of the grid-
iron, never registered a first
down until midway of the final
stanza when John Manning hit
Lynn Goddard with a 10 yard
pass. From there the Buffs
rolled to four more first downs
only to have a fumble stop the
drive on Appalachian 19.
Appalachian's first marker
came near the close of the first
period. An exchange of punts
gave the Mountaineers the ball
on their own 20 and slowly but
surely they drove through the
mud toward paydirt. Bryson
ignited the flame with a 5 yard
thrust through the center of the
Buff line and then Hollars, run-
ning like a run-a-way freight
train, tore all the way to Mil-
ligan's 30 before he was hauled
to earth. Dulin picked up 7
yards on an end around and
then Hollars carried down to
the 3. From there it was a
simple matter for Mills to lug
the ball over for a score,
The Mountaineers tallied again
on the first play of the second
canto as Timmie Murdock, fleet-
footed sophomore halfback,
broke through tackle, eluded
two secondary men and raced
60 yards to score. Tom Boyette,
a one-armed, guard booted his
second extra point effort of the
game to make in 10-0 at half
time.
Milligan's mud-caked warriors
made their greatest defensive
stand in the third quarter and
it looked for a few minutes as
if they might get their offensive
rolling but a mild threat got
only to Appalachian's 35 where
a fumble ended the thrust.
Midway of the period Hollars
set sail again with a 45 yard
trek to the Milligan -.20. Mur-
dock advanced the ball to the
9 and Hollars slashed over for
the score.
Appalachian broke out anoth-
er great climax runner in the
fourth quarter in the person
of Herman Bryson who kicked
and passed the Tarheels from
midfield to their final score.
Bryson personally took charge
at the 20 and went the rest of
the way. Boyette made it three
for four by kicking the point
after tochdown.
Scoring touchdowns: Appala-
chian: Mills, Murdock, Hollars
and Bryson. Point after touch-
down: Boyette 3 (from place-
ment). First downs — Appala-
chian 19, Milligan 5. Passes at-
tempted Appalichian 4 Milligan
10. Passes completed — Appala-
chian 2, Milligan 2.

Spectacular Play Directed By Dr. Lorenz
A Scientific
Study of a Senior
Seniors are the most mentally
and emotionally mature of the
collegiates. They are usually
quiet, determined souls, who
have decided what they want
to do and realize that the time
is nearing whey they must do
it. They know that they must
learn all they can for they must
compete with some very smart
people after they leave college.
However, seniors are not en-
: tirely serious. It is quite amus-
ing to note how some of them
I bear their responsibilities as if
the whole campus would col-
lapse if they were to flinch for
; one moment. They rather im-
agine themselves as small-scale
Atlases on whom rests the
weight of their particular col-
lege. They entertain themselves
by watching the antics of the
1 freshmen. A favorite diversion
of senior boys is showing a
freshman girl around the school.
For this reason freshman girls
(Continued on Page Three)
Ladies and gentlemen, this
Thursday evening your cam-
pus reporter, Glenn Corlew, is
speaking to you from the audi-
torium at Milligan College,
where in just a few minutes we
shall see a superb performance
of "The Cricket on the Hearth."
This play is based on a story of
Charles Dickens and adopted
for stage by Albert Smith. I
say a superb performance be-
cause I was here at the matinee
production at 2:30 this after-
noon— it's 8:00 now and the
house-lights have just been low-
ered, a few last minute arrivals
are taking their seats.
The character of John Perry -
bingle is being portrayed by
Jack Whisnaut. This is Jack's
first performance with the Mil-
ligan Players, though many may
remember him as a star at
Elizabethton High School.
The part of Mr. Tachleton is
ably handled by John "Fizzby"
Harris. You may recall "Fizzy's"
face from the Russian Play last
spring, but the voice he has de-
veloped for this part is some-
thing entirely new.
Joe Hagan, President of the
Milligan College Players, is
Cabb Plummer tonight. Joe
has been active in this field all
during his stay at Milligan and as
usual gives a superb portrayal.
The Old Gentleman, alais,
John B&wers, is full of surprises
— keep your eyes on him; John
is also a worthy newcomer to
Milligan dramatics.
The sweet, lovable character
of Dot Perrybingle is interpert-
ed by Roberta Gutschalk. Ro-
berta has worked hard to make
her debut here tonight the suc-
ces that it is.
Dorothy Hendershot as Ber-
tha, the blind daughter of Cabb
Plummer drew many tears from
the audience this afternoon. It
is my prediction that Dot will
be seen in many more produc-
tions.
An Alpha Psi Omega member,
Billie Pruitt, is doing Mrs. Feel-
durg tonight and in this part
she lives up to her previous re-
cord.
As Mrs. Feeldurg's daughter
May, we find Mary Lou Ritz,
another new comer who we pre-
dict is here to stay.
And I'm sure that Delores
Cooke as the rattled-brained Tily
Slowboy will give us all a big
lough in her initial performance
here at Milligan.
This play has been excellantly
directed by Dr. Jennie Lorenz,
who in her two years here has
turned out noteworthy casts.
There, the curtain is going up
and you can now see this
splendid performance for you-
selves.
Snapshot Contest Closes
Next Wednesday Says
Editor Hagan
The photographer from Knox-
ville who has been doing the
pictures taking for the "Buffalo"
returned to the campus this
week to take the picture of
those missed the first time and
to collect the proofs that were
distributed last week.
Joe Hagan, Editor-in-Chief of
the yearbook, says that the
snapshot contest closes this com-
ing Wednesday. If you have any
pictures that you wish to enter,
please turn them in to any mem-
ber of the annual staff put
your name on them, in an en-
velope and turn the pictures in
at the library desk.
Open House
On Tuesday night after the
presentation of "Cricket of the
Hearth" there will be an in-
formal open house held in Har-
din Hall. The Girls' Council
will be the hostesses and the
entertainment will constist of
Christmas Carols, piano playing,
and general singing.
Elliott and Cochrane
Attend Southern Meet
Dr. Virgil Elliott and Asa F
Cochrane, President and Acad-
emic Dean of Milligan, recently
atended a meeting of the South-
ern Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools held at Louis-
ville, Kentucky. Neither oifficial
had any comment to make on
the outcome of the meeting.
Our Copy Boy
The staff thinks that much
credit is due to Roy Hampton
for his faithful service in carry-
ing the copy of the Stampede
to the print shop and returning
the proofs. Even though he
does no writing, it would be im-
possible for the paper to come
out without him.
Thirty-nine Milligan singers
left Saturday, December 6 for
a seven day. tour of Kentucky,
Indiana, Ohio, and West Vir-.
ginia during which time they
will give concerts in various
churches and schools. The pro-
posed initary will include Sat-
urday, December S, Middlesboro,
Kentucky; Sunday, December
7, Lexington, Kentucky; Mon-
day, December 8, North Mid-
dlestown, Kentuckey; Tuesday,
December 9, Carlisle, Ken-
tuckey; Wednesday. December,
10, Louisville, Kentucky; Thurs-
day, December 1, Hillsboro,
Ohio; and Friday December 12,
Irontown, Ohio.
The college choir, consisting
of 14 boys and 25 girls, is under
the direction of Professor E.
Gordon Warner with Mrs. War-
ner as the accompanist. For
several years Professor Warner
was a member of the famous
Ringling Brothers Circus band
and he has injected his show-
manship into the choral per-
formance.
The program consists of sac-
red and popular numbers in-
cluding Professor's Warner's
arrangement of "The Lord's
Prayer" and the Fred Waring
arrangement of. " Twas the
Night Before Christmas."
The musical numbers listed
below constitute the repertory

FLOWERS FOR FAVORS
Someone should pass out flowers to various students
here on our campus for displaying a real magnanimous
spirit (whatever magnanimous means). It really restores
your waining faith in society to see people doing the little
things to help their fellow men. If I may have the honor,
I would like to give away a few flowers.
Orchids to the fellows and girls that answer the tele-
phones in the dorms. Theirs is a real service over and
above the call to duty.
Roses to the professors that dismiss their fourth period
class a few minutes early. Wild onions to those same
students who, having been dismissed make such a racket
going through the halls to the dining room and disturb
other classes.
Carnations for the lapels of the fellows who worked
so many hours making a float to represent Milligan in
the Burley Bowl Parade.
Gardenias to the students who own cars and show
such a generous spirit in their use.
A great big chrysanthemum to the freshmen that co-
operated with the freshmen initiation, and took it all in
a spirit of fun-
A bouquet to the girls, in Hardin that takes hold of a
mop when the shower baths overflow and water floods
the floors.
QUIET PLEASE
(A person who thinks by the inch and talks by the
yard, should be dealt with by the foot.)
Some people keep telling the people they know
How to mop or to draw or to vote
And they in return with a look that would burn
Promptly do as they please, you will note.
Then these folks go on to the people they know
To bestow upon them their advice
On winding the clock or to dry clean a hat
Or perhaps how to skate on the ice-
And so it goes round and around o'er the earth
Each is telling the other one how
To doctor a cat Or to dry clean a hat
Or to dodge from an ill-tempered cow.
"No, no, you should buy!" "What was that? You don't
say?"
"Are you cold? Exercise. Hot? Keep cool."
"A remedy? Sure, I can give you a cure."
Say these people who think you're a fool.
They themselves, as a rule, only think by the inch.
And if you would be wise, listen pard.
To make them stay put You just use your right foot
When they start to talk by the yard.

DEAR JIMMY,
I know it's time to drop you a line, but I did my washing
this afternoon and my clothes are hanging on it (the Line, that is).
And I can't send you a letter today because I have to use all 26
of them in an English composition that is due this week. So
I finally decided to mail you a brief note, at least, but even it
turned out to Bb, and I'm not feeling bright enough today to B#,
so I reckon I'll have to B# for once and just say "Howdy," afterall.
We had the bestest party at Hardin Hall last Saturday
night. Prof. Hyder and Prof. Lodter showed technicolor movies
of the campus, and flower gardens, and May Day activities, com-
mencement pictures, and other interesting scenes and events.
Then there were games of checkers and chess and dominoes,
etc., going on with someone banging on the piano and others
singing, all at the same time, making quite a merry occasion
out of it. I do wish though, that some of these people who are
always breaking into song would find the key first— so they
wouldn't have to break in. ■.
Which reminds me, I'll have to "break in" if I want any
supper, unless I get there right now — or sooner. Soooo — Cheerio.
Yours till the roast beefs,

What Are You Looking For?
In 1845 two German lads came to the United States.
The older brother had learned to be a sauerkraut maker
in Germany. He was soon caught by the lure of the West,
so set out in a covered wagon for California. He establish-
ed himself on a sandy piece of soil in Eldorado County to
grow cabbage and make kraut. He was a success. Men
came from far and near to buy his product.
The younger brother had no trade when he came to
this country so he became an apprentice in a metallurgical
laboratory in New York City. At the end of three years,
he finished his apprenticeship as an assayer and went'to
California to join his brother. The gold fever was then
acute and he felt there was a field for metallurgist.
One morning the two brothers went for a walk over
the cabbage patch. The older brother was disappointed
because the younger one did not rave over his cabbage
heads. Instead he kept gathering sand into his hands.
"What do you want to look at that stuff for? It's
nothing but quartz," the older brother said.
"Man, do you know what you have here?" said the
other brother. "This is gold! You have planted your
cabbage heads on a gold mine."
The richest gold strike in Eldorado County was made
on that cabbage patch.
Each brother found what he was searching for-sour-
kraut of grjld. Here at Milligan you are going to find
that for which you are looking. If you have come to col-
lege with a critical, resentful attitude, you will find only
unpleasant things and will miss striking a gold mine. If
you see only faults in people, you will go through college
a pauper when it comes to possessing friends. But if you
are searching for the best in people, you'll make friends
whom you will cherish all through life.
If you are looking for snap courses, you'll leave Mil-
ligan without being fitted for any important task. On the
other hand, if you are earnestly seeking knowledge and
have a desire to be well equipped to make not only a
living but also a life, you will leave Milligan with both an
educated brain and an educated heart.
' Here at Milligan culture -prevails and gentility is
accepted. Your days on the campus should be a stepping
stone to a higher and more useful life. Another has said
that we make ourselves what we are by our faiths, our
hopes, our prayers. Everyday is a judgment day. When
the time comes to put away your books, say good-bye to
your friends, and look at old Buffalo Mountain for the
last time, you will be exactly what you have made of
yourself. As the sheep and swine graze in the same
pasture during the day, then at night the sheep go to the
fold and the swine to the sty, so it will be when you go
out into the world — what direction you will go in life will
depend on whether you have learned to be at home in
the fold or the sty. — Mildred Welshimer.
TWO VIEWPOINTS
When I was young I often thought that people fifty-
three, were bowed beneath the weight of years, ahd
worthless as could be.
But now, through wisdom gleaned by time, I've learn-
ed the startling truth, the world is quite a different place
when viewed by age and youth. — Etta Mai Scott.
KEEP GOING
There's no skill in easy sailing when the skies are
clear and blue. There's no joy in merely doing things
that anyone can do. But there is great satisfaction, that
is mighty sweet to take, when you reach a destination that
they said you couldn't make. — Scrap Book.
CHAPEL CHIMES
R. D. McLEAN
The chapel chimes are ringing out in tones so strong and clear
A message warm and friendly to the people living near:
"If Jesus Christ were still on earth, there isn't any doubt
But what He'd watch the children as they walk and run about
And say, 'I like to watch the children coming out of school each
day
And hear their shouts of laughter as they run about in play
And have them come and greet me with a glad and cheery smile
And look into their sparkling eyes, so bright and free of guile. *
And when I see a little girl, regardless of her class,
With face of sparkling beauty, and a comely little lass,
How earnestly I pray that deep within her heart may lie
A soul as pure and spotless as a clear and unclouded sky;
A soul with all the beauty I can see upon her face;
A character as noble as the finest in her race.
For this is where her beauty will be seen on judgment day
When One shall seal her destiny, for ever and for aye.
And then, perhaps, a troubled boy will come and look at me
And I will try to answer with a look of sympathy,
And compliment his manners and his kind and cheery ways
And find a lot of little things for which to give him praise.
For nothing else in all the world is needed quite as much
As folks who will be helpful, kind and good, and sweet, and such.
For even God's old prophet Jeremiah, — Micah, too —
And Amos and Elijah spoke THIS message unto you,
That only as you do HIS will, can God your actions bless;
And HEART religion is the kind, that makes for righteousness,
And so if you who hear these chimes accept this word of truth.
You'll seek to please God everyday— in childhood, age, and youth."

Editor's Note: We put this
little poem in here in hope that
many would have their dreams
of white Christmas come true.
I see through my window a
beautiful world,
Where banners of white for the
trees are unfurled.
Small animal tracks form the
carpet's design,
Its velvet is sprinkled with
sequins that shine.
The frost with a twinkle is
sifting Its dust,
Surcharging the air with its
stars at each gust.
The shrubs are soft hillocks
where rabbits retreat,
And birds find the grasses a
stool for their feet.
The tops of the houses all wear
diamonds,
That scintillate gaily with my-
riad gems.
Because the Great Artist gave
winter a dress,
This exquisite painting is mine
to possess.

are often looked upon with dis-
taste by the senior girls.
Most seniors are fairly stud-
ious. I am told that senior
courses are much more difficult
than any below that year. The
professors make one final stab
at preparing their wards for a
hard, cruel world. Seniors are
more willing than the lower
classes to accept the fact that
life is not a bed of roses. Many
of them fancy themselves cyni-
cal and worldly-wise because
they do see a more bitter side
of life. This is all sham; no
collegiate knows enough to be
blase. They don't even start to
learn until they are out of
college.

They have made a fine art of

The importance of chemistry
in our world today can hardly be
stimulated. It is one of our big-
gest industries — modern civiliza-
tion can not get along without.
New fields continues to open
for the eager chemists; some
of the more recent ones are
the atom, plastic, and in-
vestigation of hormones apd
vitamins. Chemistry is a "must"'
for pre-med students and en-
gineers.
Dr. Thompson, who feels that
chemistry is a tool for engi-
neers and is of cultural value
for all in that it enables one to
understand our civilization,
He capably heads the chemistry
department with Charles Akard
as his able assistant. Assisting
them in the laboratory are
Henry Evans and John Hasty.
Dr. Thompson graduated from
Wake Forest College and did
graduate work at John Hopkins
University, North Carolina St.
College; he has been a member
of the faculty at Milligan since
1928. Mr. Akard is a graduate
of Milligan and has been a mem-
ber of the faculty since 1945.
A major in chemistry requires
three years of chemistry with
niore recommended. Along
with the chemistry a minor in
math and biology and one year
of physics is required. Courses
in chemistry now being offered
are general chemistry, inorg-
anic 1 yr., organic 1 yr., Quanta-
tive Analysis, Home Ec. chem-
istry (for Home Ec. major only)
and physical chemistry (for
seniors only.)
There are three well-equip-
ped laboratories and 2 lecture
rooms to accomodate the stud-
ents enrolled in chemistry and
physics courses.

He stirred, cocked one eye to

Last year the Christian Ser-

again this year proclaiming the
Gospel story in messages and
song. Groups have assisted in
the regular morning and even-
ing services of nearby churches
and at afternoon "homecoming
programs.
In addition to these Sunday
activities a group goes each
first and third Wednesday (and

STAMPEDE SPORTS
Loyal fans of Milligan were
given a good look at the 1948
Buff football team when the
freshman took the field against
Lees-McRae. Although the
score was one-sided, it was de-
cidely a good ball game all the
way.
Perhaps the highlight of the
hall game was the hidden ball
trick pulled by Less-McRae. It
was the most perfectly executed
play along that line that has
been my privilege to see. How-
ever, the outcome of that play
was that it sent an aroused
Buff team forward to victory.
Those fellows of Less-McRhea
will learn not to yell "Suckers"
to our ball players after they
(Lees-McRae) have scored a
touchdown on a good play. The
results are sort of rough, aren't
they Bobcats?
Turkey Day is past and a good
ball game took place in Johnson
City at Memorial Stadium. The
students of Milligan College can
be very proud that the Buffs
played clean ball and were good
sports all season, because look-
ing at the Burley Bowl game
you couldn't tell that there was
such a thing as Sportmanship.
It reflects on a coach when he
doesn't field a team that knows
how to act. Here at Milligan
we won't ever have to worry
about how to act on or off the
Field, because it is part of our
training to conduct ourselves
properly.
Sports have shifted into high
gear and it is full steam ahead!
Three games have already been
played by our basketball team,
,the intramural boy's basketball
schedule has been announced,
the girls are participating in
volleyball, and life-saving cours-
es are being offered at the pool.
Besides this we have those
brave tennis enthusiasts who go
out into this (cool)? weather
quite often to make sure that
they haven't lost the magic
touch.
Competition is running high
on the basketball team and sev-
eral boys are really looking
good. However, the play of all
has been of high enough caliber
to insure a good team at Milli-
gan this year and in future
years.
There have been a couple of
wrong decisions in sports in the
last couple of weeks. At least
some sports writers think so.
One was the decision given Joe
Louis over Jersey Joe Walcott
by the New York Boxing Com-
mission last Friday night... In
football, the Associated Press
ran a story in which Walter
Stewart, sports editor of the
Memphis, (Tenn.) Commercial
Appeal, criticized the naming of
an A. P. All American football
team which did not include
Charlie Conerly (University of
Mississippi passing star) as being
similar to writing an American
history without mentioning the
name of George Washington.
Conerly was placed on the
second team.
The Buffs went down before
the Tennessee Vols on the hard-
wood last week but they will
be back in the fight tomorrow
night when a rematch takes
place in the Science Hill gym.

Swing At Milligan
The Milligan Buffs got off to
a good start on the hardwood
this year when they put their
new fast break to work and
come out on the long side of a
55-38 score against Lees-McRae
last week. The Buffs outplayed
the visitors from the very start
and held a comfortable lead the
entire time.
For the first off campus game,
the boys went to Bristol where
they staged a last quarter come-
back scoring 45 points to re-
gister a 71-48 win over the Smal-
ling's Independents.
Knoxville last Friday night
spelled trouble for the Herd as
they went down fighting before
a mighty Vol quintet to the
tune of 76-36.
The Buffs had hard luck again
Tuesday night as the Mountain-
eers from Applachian took an
early lead and held it the rest
of the game. Try as they might,
the Buffs never could complete-
ly close the gap and the final
whistle sounded with them on
the short end of a 50-40 score.
Tonight the Herd goes up
against U. T. again and . next
week they go down South for a
series of games.

(Associated Press)
The Vounteer State Athletic
Conference named an All-Con-
ference football team today and
scheduled a basketball tourna-
ment for the1 eight colleges in
the circuit at Lebanon next
February 26-28.
The group discussed an invi-
tation from Lincoln Memorial
University at Harrogate to hold
a tennis tournament there next
May and discussed the possibil-
ity of a golf tournament, per-
haps at Nasville, in the spring.
The conference's -governing
body will take up both tourneys
at a meeting at Cumberland
University here following the
basketball tournament. Colleges
in the conference are Austin
Peay, David Lipscomb, Middle
Tennessee State College, Ten-
nessee Polytechnic Institute,
Cumberland, Union, Milligan
and Lincoln Memorial.
The all-conference football
team named today: ends, George
Fisher of Austin Peay and Henry
Brandon of M. T. S. C; tackles,
Howard McPeake of M. T. S.
C; and Jim Harmon of Milligan;
guards, Tom Green of Austin
Peay and Jack Yearwood of M.

of Union; backs, Leonard Stags,
M. T. S. C; Bill Nesbitt of M. T.
S. C; Jimmy Joyner of Union
and Gene Lawrence of Cumber-
land.
Harmon is a senior at Milligan
College and lettered in football
there in 1941 and '42. He was
in the Army Air Forces from
1942 to 1946 and served in the
Southwest Pacific Theatre of
operations. He returned to
school last season in time to
Milligan College fans got a
glimpse of what the 1948 grid
combine will look like, when the
Buff Yearlings soundly trounced
a fighting Less-McRae team to
the tune of 32-12.
Sonny Hale was the shining
light of the Baby Herd as he
scored three touchdowns and
helped materially in making the
others.
Lees-McRae drew first blood
early in the first quarter after
Del Ossman had kicked out to
the Buff 32. After two plays
that failed to gain, Ozment fired
a pass to Roberts who went
to the Buff 5. Davidson scored
the touchdown.
Roberts kicked off for the
Bobcats and Hale returned 70
yards to the Cat 18. Carr plung-
ed for 8, and Hale went remain-
ing distance for the touchdown,
that tied it up 6-6.
After the Herd had been kept
from a touchdown on the 1 ft.
line, they roared back ^in the
closing minutes of the first half
to score. Hale went for 10,
Cagle for I, and then Dick
Kennedy cut in toward tackle
and then swung out and went
all the remaing 24 yards for the
touchdown. Presnell kicked the
point.
Cats Score on Trick Play
The Bobcats having trouble
with their passes decided to pull
something out of the ordinary.
With the ball resting on the
Buff 35, Left Guard "Sach" Lyle
scored on a beautifully execut-
ed hidden ball trick to put the
score at 13-12.
But the Buffs weren't to be
denied. Carr sprinted for 30.
Milligan attack bogged down
and Melton immediately kicked
a beautiful 45 yard spiral, which
Sonny Hale promptly took out
the air and scampered his way
for a touchdown.
In the last quarter with Ken-
nedy doing the passing the Buffs
scored again on a 50 yard toss
to Hale. Dale Campbell, rangy
center, blocked a kick that set
up the last Buff touchdown.
Carr went over to make the final
score 32-12.

At Milligan
This past week has been the
setting for many a yuletide fes-
lival and holiday party. The
Cheek Hall girls started the ac-
tivities with a pajama party
Monday night in honor of old
Saint Nick. Complete with pre-
sents, hot chocolate, mistletoe,
and holly, Christmas was usher-
ed in in all its splendor.
Tuesday night following the
dramatic club production, "The
Cricket on the Hearth," the girl's
council held an informal open
house for the whole school. Mil-
ligan students forgot their trou-
bles and studies and gave them-
selves up entirely to the rare
festive mood created by a back-
ground of Christmas music.
The faculty were the guests
at a formal party held Wednes-
day night at the President's
home. Two grab bags, one for
the women, and one for the men,
proved to be an interesting part
of the evening.
Tonight the Hardin girls have
planned their party as a climax
to a week of parties. A giant
Christmas tree, spicy evergreen,
and huge red bows transform
the parlors into a place even
Santa Claus would be proud of.
Entertainment will be in the
form of a gift exchange, re-
freshments, and games.

Faculty Advisory
Committee Set Up
A new faculty advisory council

The Mouse's Hole NotWhatWeGive,ButWhat We Share
How About Your Resolutions?
A tradition has grown up for everyone to make re-
solutions concerning their lives at the first of the year.
Just where this started, no one can say. It may have
come from the Chinese custom of paying all debts on
New Year's Day. Maybe someone realized he hadn't been
living as good a life as he should, so he "resolved" to do
better next year. To most people today, resolutions are
just something they say they are going to do when they
know they aren't.
When you sit down to make your resolutions for the
coming year, I think you will find that the resolutions
that are easiest to break are the ones that concern only
yourselves. This year, try thinking of others. There is
always someone in need of help. Resolve to spend your
energies working on a project that will help others.
This time of year all of us are prone to look back over
the year. We find plenty of things that we could have
done just a little bit better. Maybe now you can see that
if you had done these things as they should have been
done, others would have profited greatly by your actions.
It doesn't do any good to say what you could have done
this past year. A bright new year is ahead of you. The
only goal to be set for the coming year is perfection. With
such a goal, the entire year will be spent in usefulness.
When you make your resolutions, think of the good
you can do for others and set your mind to never be satis-
fied with anything less than perfect.
Design Your Living
Be unselfish. That is the first and final command-
ment for those who would be useful, and happy in their
usefulness. If you think of yourself only, you cannot
develop because you are checking the source of develop-
ment, which is spiritual expansion through thought for
others.
—Dr. C. W. Elliot quoted In Readers Digest
You Tell What You Are
You tell on yourself by the friends you seek, by the
very manner in which you speak; by the way you employ
your leisure time, by the use you make of dollar and dime.
You tell what you are by the things you wear, by the
spirit in which your burdens you bear; by the kind of
things at which you laugh, by the records you play on the
phonograph.
You tell what you are by the way you walk, by the
things of which you delight to talk; by the manner in which
you bear defeat, by so simple a thing as how you eat.
By the books you choose from the well-filled shelf —
in these ways, and more, you tell on yourself. So there's
really no particle of sense in an effort to keep up false
pretense . — Anon.
CENTERVILLE, U. S. A.
December 15, 1947
DEAR SIS,
I just can't wait for you to get horn for the holidaz. We're
havin a big Chrismus party at the church and a program with
all the little kids in it and I'm going to be the announcur. It
wus a big problem for me ya know becus I'm so scairt in front
of peepul. But the preacher said the best angle at which to look
at a problem is the try-angle, so I said I would try.
I shur do like the Chrismus seeson with all the culored
lights and toys and everthing. Its about the best seeson of the
year with the Chrismus carols ringin out from everywhere and
everybody thinkin about othurs instead of their selves.
And the pictur of wise men with their rich close riding
their camels thru the desert with the star of Bethlehem leadin
them is just butiful. And the shepherds hearin the Chrismus
story from a choir of angels sends a thrill over me when I think
of it. And I can almost see the stable where Jesus wus born
when we fix the cradle on the stage at the church and I read
the story frum the Bible. I wish everybody would come to
church that night and get the rite picture of Chrismus.
Well, sis, I didn't mean to get sent — a — men — tul but I
just couldnt help it. Hurry home cus Ive lots to tell you.
Yours till the wrist watches,
(Just what I need for Chrismus)
JIMMY
"Twas the night before Christ-
mas and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring, not
even a mouse . . . ." Abiding
by this poem, it would seem
perfectly logical for me to re-
fuse to write my customary
column and hibernate for the
Christmas season, but since I'm
a brave little rodent, here I am
again. By the way, if you
haven't heard the Milligan Choir
give their rendition of Fred
Waring's " 'Twas the Night Be-
fore Christmas," you've missed
something extraordinary!
Since I was a stowaway on the
chartered bus that carried the
choir members to strange and
interesting places, I'm not up-
to-date on the happenings
around the Milligan campus.
However, I have mastered the
memorization of the complete
repertoire of the tour music and
a large portion of our president's
speech after sneaking in on
eight delightful performances. I
especially enjoyed the Christ-
mas atmosphere which pre-
vailed everywhere. It seems
that music has become a mark-
ed feature of the season and
has become one of the greatest
tributes to Christmas.
The bus, with its load of
weary travelers, was wending
its way through the hills in the
blue grass region of Kentucky,
when suddenly, for no apparent
reason, President Elliott stop-
ped his car in front of us and
flagged Clem, our faithful and
brave chauffeur, to stop. Board-
ing "Ole' Charter," President an-
nounced that the bus was now
stopped directly under a tree
loaded with mistletoe — so!
Some of the large cities we
passed through were festively
arrayed in their holiday garb.
In recent years, many cities
have adopted the beautiful cus-
tom of celebrating the Christ-
mas festival as communities.
Great lighted Christmas trees in
a central location, perhaps in
the center of the business dis-
trict, are the meeting places of
many people on Christmas Eve
when they gather about the
tree tossing the familiar hymns
and carols. Louisville, Ken-
tucky, and Cincinnati, Ohio,
were favorite shopping places
for some of the members of the
choir who attempted to do
some last minute Christmas
shopping.
Santa Claus should take pity
on Dale Campbell and do some-
thing about that delapidated
vehicle Dale so willingy lends to
such fellows as Bob Albertson.
Janet Catlett has recently chris-
tened the car "Shasta." (She
hasta' have gas and water!")
The custom of sending greet-
ings on Christmas cards started
more than fifty years ago, and
I'm not a mouse for breaking
customs, but I need rest after
the strenuous choir trip, so this
year I'll send you my personal
greetings right here in my
column. Here's wishing you a
Merry Merry Christmas and a
brighter, happier New Year than
you've ever had before from
Minnie, the Milligan Mouse!
Sqeak! Squeak!
An English minister writes of an experience he had
when a little fellow. His father had given him some
money to go to town to buy himself a Christmas present.
As he looked around in the toy store, he noticed a little
girl wearing a ragged red coat. She was fondling a doll.
She asked the saleslady how much it was, then put the
doll back when she heard the price. The little boy heard
her whisper, "Someday I'll have one." Then she picked
up a big rag doll. Again she asked the clerk a price. When
she heard it she said, "Don't you have anything for four
pennies?" As she laid the doll down, the little boy heard
her say, "Someday I'll own you."
The little boy forgot about his present and he said,
"I'll take the doll." When no one was looking he gave it
to the little girl.
The next morning as the street-cleaners were cleaning
the streets, in an alley they found the little girl frozen
to death but she was tightly holding the old rag doll in
her arms and around it was the old ragged red coat.
Years later when the minister told this story, a child
asked, "Did the little girl die and go to heaven?", and he
replied, "You don't have to die to go to heaven. You're
already there when you forget yourself in devotion to
others, even if it's only to an old rag doll."
At the Christmas season this spirit of giving prevails
more than at any other time of the year. We are thinking
of the greatest of all gifts which was given to us almost
two thousand years ago, the Christ-child. We forget self
and want to share with those who are less fortunate.
Lowell says, "Not what we give but what we share;
for the gift without the giver is bare."
The greatest gift we can give the Christ for His birth-
day is the gift of self. When we do that we give our love.
Love is the most lasting thing in the world as well as
the greatest.
May this Christmas season be a happy one for Milligan
students because we all have forgotten self and have given
our lives to the King. — Mildred Welshimer.
CHAPEL CHIMES
R. D. McLEAN
'Twas the night before Chrismas
— and mother and dad,
With both of their children — a
lass and a lad —
Sat down by the fire to read
once again
The story of God's greatest gift
unto men.
'Twas dark on the Judean hill-
side that night,
But quiet and peaceful, till —
suddenly — light!
And the shepherds were start-
led to see standing near
An angel of God — whom they
gazed on with fear
Until, "Be not afraid," the Lord's
angel did say,
"For I bring you glad tidings
of joy on this day;
A joy that shall be to all people
on earth,
For the sweet virgin Mary has
just given birth
In the city of David, to Jesus
the Lord,
Who is precious, and holy, and
highly adored.
And this is the sign that shall
be unto you —
A babe, and a manger — and
swaddling clothes, too."
And then with the angel, a
multitude stood
Of the heavenly host, urging
one brotherhood,
Singing, "Glory to God in the
highest," and then
Saying, "Peace on the earth and
good will among men."
Then up into heaven the angels
returned,
While the shepherds toward
Bethlehem hastily turned.
And finding the Child of whom
they had heard
They gladly went forth to pro-
claim the good word
Which was sent unto them from
the Father above
Concerning a Saviour, the Gift
of God's love.
Meanwhile, from out of the
east land afar,
Came wise men of old in the
wake of a star
Which somehow to them had
revealed the good news
That Jesus was born, the great
King of the Jews.
And finding the Child, in Beth-
lehem town
They entered the house, and
before Him knelt down.
And there they presented the
best that they had
Of frankincense, myrrh, preci-
ous gold — and were glad.
For humbly they gave Him their
gifts of great worth
In token of God's greater Gift
to the earth.
The fire burned low as this
family of four
Sat silently now, as the story
was o'er,
And prayed in their hearts, with
a feeling sincere,
"Merry Christmas to all — and
a Christian New Year."
Hours
Lost, yesterday, somewhere
between Sunrise and Sunset, two
golden hours, each set with
sixty diamond minutes. No re-
ward is offered for they are
gone forever. — Horace Mann.
You'll never get indigestion
from swallowing your pride!
Marcus Cato Said It
I would much rather have men
ask why
I have no statue than why I
have one.

The University of Tennesee
orange-clad Volunteers turned
back the Miiligan College Buffs
last Saturday night in Science
Hill Gym in Johnson City, by a
score of 52 to 34.
Paul Walther, a "shotgun"
forward with deadly accuracy
paced the Volunteer attack
with a grand total of 19 points.
Not only was his offensive play
outstanding, but his defensive
play was very good also.
After trailing 25-10 at the half
time, the Buffs put on the steam
and with some beautiful shoot-
ing by "Shorty" Middleton and
Kenney Hyder, pulled up to a
36-24 score midway in the third

MILLIAGN MAKES PROGRESS
Pres. Virgil Elliott Makes Annual Report
We are happy to report to the students, faculty members
and friends of Milligan College a few important facts concerning
the state of the College as we launch out into the new year.
First, let us take a look at our student enrollment figures.
In the last civilian year, before the Navy program was inaugurat-
ed there were 236 students enrolled. In the first year following
the V-12 program, 305 students were enrolled from fourteen
states and Puerto Rico. The academic year of 1946-47 brought
a new record enrollment for the college with exactly 500 students
who came from eighteen states, Puerto-Rico and Washington D. C.
We have a very good cross
section of the country repre-
sented in Milligan, sharing ideas
and learning the very impor-
tant art of working together
constructively.
Again, consider with me the
increased needs in housing and

IDEALS OF PUBLICATION
Copied from The Stampede of past years
This publication endeavors to foster the ideals for
which the student body is ever striving; namely, higher
scholarship, cleaner sportsmanship, and finer comradship.
It endeavors to represent the school in all its aspects and
to print, in an accurate and engaging way, everything of
news interest concerning it.
A TRUE (SOB) STORY
Editor's Note: Any resemblence between this and an
editorial is purely intentional.
The time, a Sunday night, early September last. The
scene, a railroad station at Podunck Center, Virginia.
John P. Q. Frosh, baggage in hand, wipes away tears with
a smile as he waves a last farewell to Mom and Dad. The
conductor gargles his "All 'board!" and the train with its
eager beaver disappears into the night.
Podunck Center had given many successful men to
Milligan College and was proud to send forth another
lad into a world that needs good men. Would John bring
home the laurels to his folks as the others had done?
This is the question that Mom and Dad ponder in their
hearts as they return home without their son.
The time and the place have now changed. The night
has turned to dawning and the new day has turned into
weeks and months. It is now January 9, 1948. Little
Johnnie comes dragging, into Chemistry class looking
like a fugitive from a marathon. The face that once
radiated the vim, vigor and vitality of youth now portrays
the haggard expression of one who stayed up all night.
A reason for his tardiness is queried by the worried pro-
fessor. Sir Frosh had stayed up all night completing
semester themes, note books and special assignments!
Scene three takes us back to Podunck Center. The
time, September, 1952. Podunk's son returns to the home
town — riding the rods. Curtain.
What's the point? This. The habits we cultivate
now we will carry through life, the good as well as the
bad. If we put off until tomorrow the things we can do
today we will never drink from the sweet cup of success.
Is your middle name Procrastination? Remember John
P. Q. He was once a lad like you!
FAREWELL, GRADS
As you join that innumerable caravan known as the
Milligan College Alumni, we, the students, faculty, and
administration wish you Godspeed. May the mysterious
realms of the future be opened unto you affording you
every success you individually seek.
Your names have been transferred from the student
body to the Alumni list but they will never be erased'
from the minds and hearts of all who have shared your
presence at Milligan College.

DEAR JIMMY,
Exams are over now and it makes me feel like a passenger
on the "Freedom Train." I think I passed everything this
time, but apparently some of the other students weren't quite
so fortunate. Anyway, I understand that the professors didn't
learn much from this year's exam papers. Wish I could voice
my own opinion on some of these subjects, but it wouldn't do
any good because my stuff is usually censored whether it
makes censor not.
But we did get some statistics from last week's efforts.
When one of the new enrollees wanted to know how many
students there were in Milligan last semester, Prof. Lodter
replied that, according to the exam grades turned in, there was
about one in every five.
And talking about statistics, I overheard one biology
student telling another the other day that "someone dies every
time you breathe." I told him to try Listerine and now I'm
wearing dark glasses to cover a black eye.
But I guess I'm not as bad off as some other people I know.
'Rumor (which has since been established) has it that certain
young men in our school said "I do" to certain young ladies
during the Christmas holidays. If they have the same experience
as some of our previous couples, they'll be saying "I do" from
now on.
Which reminds me — "I do" have lots to do now that
registration is over and the second semester has begun. And
believe me, I'm not going to get behind in my work this time.
Yours till the heart throbs.
SIS
Minnie, the Milligan Mouse,
is back in the old game of get-
ting an education as the second
semester begins for students
and professors alike. Educa-
tion has always been fair
game for the funsters. Class-
room jokes are relished equally
by the graduate and by the
badly educated — which includes
most of us. There are two main
variations: Teacher and Johnny
pattern, and the more recent
and more unpredictable twist
inspired by the modern pro-
gressive school.
In the second category, there
is the tale of the mother who
wished to enter her child in an
up-to-the-minute kindergarten.
But the child was only five, and
the age requirement was six. "I
think," said the mother, "she.
can pass the six-year old test."
"We shall see," said the ex-
aminer. Then, to the child,
"Dear, just say a few words
that come into your mind."
"Mother," said the five-year-
old candidate, "does the lady
want logically connected sen-
tences or purely irrelevant
words?"
Perhaps the most incisive
story about the progressive
method is the one about the
school psychologist who is put-
ting a young girl through a ser-
ies of tests to determine her in-
tellectual fitness.
"Now first," said the psycho-
logist, "are you a boy or a girl"?
"A boy," said the girl promp-
tly.
"Well," said the psychologist,
taken aback, "that's interesting.
And what are you going to be
when you grow up?"
"A father," said the child.
"But darling," interrupted her
mother, "you know better than
that. Why do you say such
things to the doctor?"
"Because," said the child in
ali seriousness, "if he's going to
ask silly questions, I'm going to
give silly answers."
So much for jests about pro-
gressive education. Most humor-
ists rely on the old formula — the
formula which represents Teach-
er and Johnny matching wits
in the classroom. It is a fore-
gone conclusion that Johnny
must win. For example, Teach-
er inquires: "Where was the
Declaration of Independence
signed:" And Johnny is bound
to reply: "At the bottom."
Here are a few more exam-
ples of the age-long struggle
between the wish to instruct and
the will to resist. Johnny took
a long time to show his report
card to his father. "Perhaps
I'd better explain it first," the
boy said. "A" stands for excel-
lent. B means good, C is fair,
and D is what I got."
The teacher was talking about
recent inventions. "N o w,
Johnny, tell me something
which did not exist twenty-
five years ago."
Johnny answers brightly,
"Me."
Teacher: "How would you
define 'unaware'?"
Johnny: "It's the last thing
I take off at night."
As a final triumph for Johnny,
there is the story of the mental
(Continued on Page Three)
MARK THE HOURS THAT SHINE
It has been said, "We have memory so that we will
have roses in December." Memory is a wonderful thing.
The kind of memories we will have tomorrow depends
on how we live today.
We all have a lot of memories of this first semester
at Milligan. But while it is well to remember, it is also
well to forget some things. There are folks who make
themselves wretched by worrying over things of the past.
Let us forget if we have received any hurts, if we think
we have been mistreated. Let us forget the unpleasant
things and only mark the hours that shine.
There are so many things about this first semester
at Milligan that I want to remember. The friends I
have made, the thoughtfulness students have shown to
other students, the spirit of sharing that has been mani-
fested by so many of you, prayer groups around the
fireplace, laughter in the halls, sunsets over old Buffalo,
snow flying through the air, moonlight which turns the
campus into a fairyland.
If we remember to walk with God, we will have
pleasant memories. A young baseball player had a father
who was blind. One of his disappointments was that his
father who meant so much to him was never able to see
him play. The father died suddenly. The college students
were afraid he would be so grived over the death
of his father he would not want to play for a while.
They were surprised the next Saturday when he showed
up on the field. "You're not going to play so soon?" the
manager exclaimed, "Indeed I am, this will be my greatest
game, for I feel that this is the first time my dad is watch-
ing me play."
Our heavenly Father is watching us play the game
here at Milligan each day. We may fool others on the
campus but we can't fool Him. Let us play so that when
each day comes to a close we can look on Him with the
assurance that He is satisfied with the way we have played.

CHAPEL CHIMES
RALPH D. McLEAN
Again the bells are sending from
the chapel in the vale
Their chimes of faith and hope
and love, above the winter's
gale,
Inviting you next Sunday to
come treking o'er the sod —
To gather in this house of pray-
er— to come and worship
,, God.
For though the wind is blowing
and the trees of leaves are
bare;
The sun is slow in rising to
offset the frosty air;
And Satan tempts the spirit —
when your body feels
"fatigue" —
To stay in bed and slumber
(thus becoming HIS "col-
league");
The Lord is waiting patiently
rich belssings to bestow
On those who will be faithful
in this "vale of tears" below.
For in the singing of the hymns,
the study of His Word—
The fellowship of kindred minds
— your spirit will be stirred;
Your soul be closer drawn to
God, your heart with zeal
inspired,
Your hope renewed, your faith
restored — you'll be no long-
er tired.
For "they that wait upon the
Lord" shall find their
strength renewed,
Their very souls and spirits with
new life shall be imbued.
And oh, the lift that comes to
those at sweet communion
time
Who eat and drink the emblems
of our Saviour's love sub-
lime,
And know they have not failed
the One who died upon the
tree,
But, rather, have been faithful
to His "Thus . . . remember
me."
And would you share the bles-
sings of your Christian her-
itage
With those abroad and those
at home? This is your
privilege.
So, "on the first day of the
week" let each lay by in
store
According as God prospered
him — some less and others
more.
But when we pay allegiance to
the God of heaven and earth
By sharing what He's given us
— whate'er its legal worth —
The spirit must be cheerful and
the offering sincere
To be acceptable to God and
be a blessing here.
And when the Book is opened
and the Word of God is
read;
When prayers ascend to heaven
as each humbly bows his
head;
The organ fills with melody the
heart and soul and mind;
A solo or an anthem brings
sweet music to mankind;
The message of the minister
rings out in accents bold;
The tidings of salvation with
God's love and truth unfold;
The simple quiet beauty of this
humble little place
Inspires you with confidence in
God's unfailing grace;
When you have greeted others
as a fellow Christian should,
And shared the loving spirit of
this Christian brotherhood;
How glad you'll be you came
unto the House of God that
day
To feed upon the Bread of Life
and join with those who
pray.
So when you hear the Chapel
Chime ring out across the
snow,
Rejoice in "the day the Lord
hath made" as unto church
you go.
HELPFUL PROVERBS
The fear of the Lord is the be-
ginning of knowledge:
But fools despise wisdom and
instruction. — Prov. 1 :7
The way of a fool is right in
his own eyes;
But he that is wise harkeneth
unto counsel. — Prov. 12:15
Righteousness exalteth a nation;
But sin is a reproach to any
people. — Prov. 14:34
A good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches,
And loving favor rather than
silver and gold. — Prov. 22:1

MILLIGAN COLLEGE. TENN.. MONDAY. FEBRUARY 16. 1948
G. I. Students
At Milligan
From the records in the Re-
gistrar's Office we learn that
229 G. I. students have enrolled
at Milligan College for training
during the academic year 1947-
1948.
These men have come from all
parts of the U. S. A.— from .
California to New York, and
from Florida to Washington
, state.
We are proud of our veterans
who have served our nation in
time of its great crisis, and hope
to be able to plant in their hearts
the desire to so live that not
only victory will have been their
lot on the battle field of World
War II, but that they will be
equipped to help win and main-
tain a just and durable peace.
Above all, we want the spiri-
tual influences of the college to
become a permanent part of
every students' life. Through
our Wednesday evening prayer
meetings, our chapel hours, the
services of worship at Hopwood
Memorial Church and the per-
sonal and private devotions held
in the student's rooms we hope
,that a deeper hold on the reali-
ties of life will come to every-
one.
We have earnestly tried to
keep the best interests of all
students in our hearts and
minds as we have planned the
program at Milligan, remem-
bering that the G. I.'s monthly
check will stretch only so far.
We believe that with some care-
ful thought and planning the G.
I.'s check will go farther at Mil-
ligan than in any other four
year liberal arts college in the
country. Don't think for a
moment that G. I. "Joe" hadn't
figured this out long ago — es-
pecially if he has been in an-
other college.

THE
MOUSE HOLE
Only One Way
Pre-Spring Clean-up
It has long been said that our campus is one of the
prettiest in the country. The evergreens, tall stately elms,
green lawns, and numerous flowerbeds are endeared by
students past and present. Unless the present student
body makes an active effort to preserve this beauty, not
many years will pass until our pride will be turned to
shame.
Students driving cars are requested to keep from
"short-cutting" across the campus and parking on the
lawns. All are asked to protect the grass, trees, and
shrubbery, and to keep the campus free of paper and
other unsightly things.
Prying curiously from my
mouse hole in a psychology
classroom, I was greatly enlight-
ened and amused as the usual
classroom cutups became ser-
ious for once and gravely dis-
cussed big words like "pyscho-
therapy, "psychoanalysis," and
"psychoses." Perhaps because
every human has a touch of
madness in himself, there was a
great deal of discussion about
severely maladjusted persons
whom we generally refer to as
morons, imbeciles, and idiots.
Musing over possible things to
write about in today's column,
I decided to choose as my theme
"Morons," a nice, mild term for
all those who are halfway be-
tween low grade intellects and
high class idiots (which includes
most of us.)
J. L. Moore Makes Mark
Some people are born, live, love and die without
making their existance known or felt by the masses of
mankind. Then there are other persons like Kilroy and
our own J. W. Moore who, because of some unexplainable
turn of fate, receive worldwide recognition.
Usually great men are great, not because of fickle
fate but because they rate. Kilroy rated his name in
every out-of-the-way place in the world, while J. L. Moore
rates his name on every approved sign, poster, notice or
announcement posted at Milligan.
Are you going to be a Mr. Nobody or are you going to
make your mark in life? The impressions that will out-
live the ages are not those written by pen or carved upon
granit but those engraved upon the hearts of those with
whom you associate day by day.
Two patients of an asylum
were looking over the wall,
watching the gardner.
"What's he doing?" said the
first.
'Tutting fertilizer on the
strawberries!" said the second.
"Fertilizer on the strawberries!"
exclaimed the first. "We put
sugar and cream on ours — and
they call us crazy."
CHAPEL CHIMES
RALPH D. McLEAN
"Young man," said the psy-
chology professor to the student
who kept on interrupting, "are
you trying to instruct this class?"
"Certainly not, sir." said the
student.
"Well, then, don't talk like
an idiot."
HERE'S TOMORROW
Some people say tomorrow is a
day that never comes
Because it always keeps ahead,
however fast time runs;
For when you think it has ar-
rived, instead, it is "today,"
And still "tomorrow" — up ahead
— is just as far away.
And yet, "tomorrow's news"
comes "now" — "tomorrow's
cars" are "here" —
"Tomorrow's" goods and house-
hold aids are advertised
each year.
And so it seems quite evident
"tomorrow" has arrived
And must at last be reckoned
with by those who have
survived.
on little children's feet,
And in their forms and faces
read her prophecy complete.
I saw tomorrow look at me
through little children's
eyes,
And thought how carefully we'd
teach, if we were really
So "here's tomorrow" for adults,
who dreamed in days of
yore
About the many deeds they'd
do that "ain't been done"
before ;
How well they'd serve their
country and how famous
they would be;
And how they'd help their fel-
lowmen improve society.
Well, some of them have done it
and deserve eternal fame
For all the good that they have
done while playing life's
great game.
But others lost along the way
their character and skill
And seem to live from day to
day as little children still.
Yes, "here's tomorrow" — youth
and age, it's with us here
and now.
Which makes it quite important
what we do each day — and
how.
Just reach a helping hand to
those around who are in
need
And prove yourself a neighbor
with each great or simple
deed.
Keep spreading cheer and sun-
shine— it will all come back
to you
A thousandfold in blessings as
refreshing as the dew.
Too, you're building for the
future as you travel on life's
way,
For "God's Tomorrow lies be-
yound the sunset of today.

The fighting between the Ger-
mans and the Russians had come
to an end in the middle of a
field belonging to a stupid Rus-
sian peasant. Both sides deter-
mined to give him a choice of
nationality.
"If he has any sense," said the
Nazi general, "he'll become a
German."
"Nonsense," retorted the Sov-
iet leader. "Naturally, he'll
remain Russian!"
When the peasant decided that
he and his field should be part
of the German Reich the Rus-
sian general was astounded.
"But why?" he asked.'
"Well, you see," replied the
peasant, "the winters in Soviet
Russia are so cold."
In the Chemistry laboratory, there is a way to do things
and a way not to do things. You may have your own idea of
what you want to do, but it will not bring you the results. There
is a way to handle an airplane. If the pilot does not do it a certain
way, there will be a disaster.
In life, there is a Way and if we do not follow this way,
we will have discord in our lives. Christ said, "I am the way."
That settles it. Any other way which we try to substitute is
false and out of harmony with God.
Some college students once said they wished the older
generation would become acquainted with the "kick" in life.
One of the professors answered, "We wish you would become
acquainted with the "kick-back." You can't have a "kick"
without a "kick-back" — and it always gets the last kick.
In New Mexico, there is a spring which has the sign, "Park
Your Pains Here." People are parking their pains in manifold
places; yet the only place where they will find relief from
heartaches, sin, and restlessness, is in Christ.
The most unhappy people I have ever seen were at Monte
Carlo, Switzerland. Those in our tourist party visited this
Casino out of curiosity. We went away feeling what wasted
lives there are in the world. Here were old and young, throwing
their money away, trying to buy happiness. There wasn't a
happy face among the crowd. As we left the huge building,
our guide pointed a cliff to us where scores of people have
committed suicide after they had lost their money in the Casino.
They thought they had a way of lrfe, but it was not THE WAY
of life, and it brought only destruction and misery.
The newspapers frequently carry articles describing recent
discoveries which will enable people to live longer. It isn't how
long we live that matters, but HOW we live. Some have died at an
early age, but have accomplished more than many who have
live to a "ripe" old age.
Some years ago in Gary, Ind., a little girl was lying at the
point of death. The newspapers stated that unless someone
would be willing to give skin to be grafted, she would die. A
little crippled newspaper boy walked into the hospital, leaning
on his crutch. "I'd like to have you cut off my leg and give it
to this little girl," he said. The doctors took his request lightly.
"It hurts me all the time," the little fellow said. "I can*,t sleep
at nights and it doesn't do me any good. I can walk with my
crutch all right."
So the Tittle fellow's leg was amputated and it was rushed
in an ambulance to Chicago where the skin was immediately
grafted.
But the little boy contracted pneumonia and died, Just a
few minutes before his death, he looked into the doctor's eyes
and said, "The little girl will walk now, won't she? My bad leg
was good for something after all." The school children of Gary
brought their pennies and errected a monument in memory of
this little newspaper boy who gave his life that another might live.
His years were few, but they were rich in influence. I never
look at the bright lights in the city without being thrilled. As
I have stood on hilltops in Los Angeles, looking down on the
lights of Hollywood, I have forgotten that there were any other
lights. Then, suddenly, I have turned my eyes upward to the
skys and seen the stars and moon and have realized that the
artificial lights might go out — that they could easily be extin-
guished,— but the old moon and the stars would go on and on,
for they were placed there by God.
Only the things pertaining to God will last forever. His way
is the only way about which we should be concerned.
—MILDRED WELSHIMER
"Is this number 1-1-1-1?" asked
the voice over the telephone.
"No," replied the moron. "This
is eleven-eleven."
"Sorry to have bothered you,"
said the voice.
"No bother," said the moron.
"I was getting up anyway to
answer the phone."
WE AMERICANS
We are Americans! This is our country! We believe
in it. We believe in its ideals. We believe in its desire to
have for us, and to win for all men everywhere, freedom
of privilege, equality of opportunity, freedom from fear
freedom from want. We believe that in government, the
Christian-born ideal of democracy is The Better Way.
Think On These Things
The struggle for today is not
altogether for today but for
a vast future. — Lincoln
But "here's tomorrow" once
again — in quite a different
light,
And one in which we never,
never, never should lose
sight.
It's in the form of those whose
constant training undergirds

Whatsoever things are true,
whasoever things are honorable,

whatsoever things are pure,
whatsover things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good

if there be any praise, think on
these things. — Phillipians 4:8.
The fashionable psychiatrist
finished his notes and turned
to the lady in front of him. "I'll
be perfectly frank," he said.
"I find nothing the matter —
nothing abnormal — and I shall
so inform your relatives."
"Thank you doctor, I was sure
you'd say that," she replied. "I
only came here to please my
family. After all, there's nothing
very strange about a fondness
for pancakes, is there?"
"Pancakes?" repeated the psy-
chiatrist. "Certainly not. I'm
fond of them myself."
"Are you?"she qureried bright-
ly. "Then you must come over
to my house. I have trunks
full of them!"
"The glory of life is to love,

DEAR SIS,
Talkin about that "I do" in yur last lettur, did you kno that
we have a new romancz going on here now? It's Jr. Woodruff
and Bunny Taylor, and they shur do look cute together. I saw
them in the drug stor last night drinking the same soda. The
clerk is a verry thrifty fella and would only give them one
straw, so they had to take turns with it.
Jr. is over to Bunnys place now. He took his hammer
along so he could fix their egg beater which isn't beetin just
rite. But I think Jr. will git the beetin if Mrs. Taylor catches him.
She's mad at him anyhow for shootin the appul off her new
hat with his rifle yesturday. It wudn't have been so bad if she
hadn't ben wearin it at the time. But it was only an accident.
Ordinarily he would have missed it. He's not such a good shot
anyway.
I guess you don't hno the Woodrufs do you. The just
moved in last week to that vacant house across the street. They
got three kids, but Boots is the only sensibul one in the groop.
The rest of the family is as batty as a haunted house. Even
the parunts. Mrs. Woodruff is always trying to learn to play a
new instrument so she can render music at funerals and Mr.
Woodruff is always chasing the fire enjines or taking care of
his bees. Which reminds me, I'd better make a bee line for the
bus line.
Yours till the milk shakes,
JIMMY
P. S. Shur do wish I could come to your big Talent Program on
Monday. February 16th.

THE BUFFALO
HE(A)RD
A STUDENT'S STATISTICS M Club Issues
With the brand new semester
appearing, things began to perk
up on the Milligan College
Campus ....
For example, the long and
"Shorty" of it is that Jenny
Bledsoe prefers Tanner.
A most complex situation is
created when one's boyfriend
from home arrives on the scene
— or should we say campus — and
if you should doubt the Buf-
falo's veracity, consult Jean and
Diane. Note: The local boys
appear to be way out ahead
though.
The "Senator" has forsaken
his incessant campaigning, tem-
porarily at least, for a -more
current cause, namely Barbara
Oakes.
No, Madeline! B. E. does not
stand for "Big idjit"!
Does "Porky" know about
him, Doris, or is your interest
in Dale purely Platonic?
One organization on campus
proves to be quite effective "yet
already" at fouling up the lives
of football players. Donny thinks
it's most embarrassing to be
forced into two dates on one
evening.
And, Bentley, we're still won-
dering how you produced that
fish for the "M" Club initiation.
Many a feminine cap on cam-
pus has been set for hansome
bachelor Horace Pettitt . . . but
the elusive Mr. Pettitt still tops
the eligible list.
Hoyt Dees lost no time in
snapping up Hardin Hall's latest
permanent arrival. Does Dot,
too, have beautiful eyes, Hoyt?
Dedication: "My Fickle Eye"
to Tumblebug! Eh, Bill?
Peg Stock tells us that she
found one boy among the crop
of new students who firmly be-
lieves that "the best things in
life are free!" Tell us what
things, Stock!
Betty Ruth attributes her dis-
ability to work fourth grade
arithmetic problems to the fact
that she received her early ma-
thematical training from Prof.
Oakes.
Dot Allen's daily question:
"Has anyone heard from Joe
Hagan?"
Is Mary Nelms a Jinx? She
dates Glen Homer — he with-
draws from school. She dates
Jim Rose — he withdraws from
school. Careful, Rice, proceed
with caution.
Mr. Harris, is off on another
conquest and Jack's withdrawal
from the play cast leaves him a
clear field. Roberta, you're the
lucky girl this time. Speaking of
Roberta, she has the Buffalo's
vote for "Sweetheart of Milli-
gan."
Prof. Rice informed his eight
o'clock health class that he
wanted NO tardies. The fabul-
ous Hobe Simmons protested:
"But, Prof., I don't have an
alarm clock." Wonder why
Hobe's face turned lobster color
when Joe Farry came out with:
"Prof. I think it's only fair to
tell you that Hobe does have
an alarm clock!" P. S. What is
your excuse, Mr. Emiren?
Keep trying Joe! Pauline
May break down and give you
a date.
Dale Balsar still can't figure
out why they call Janie "Cross"!
Has anyone — or should I say
—has everyone noticed Billie
Pruitt's affinity for Jeeps, es-
pecially when Romel is in them!

Georgia AUene Branham, the only senior girl residing on the
Milligan campus with the exception of Carolina Walker, will
receive her bachelor of science degree in May. Allene has been
a Milliganite for three years. She "served" her freshman year
at the women's division of the Virginia Poltechnical Institute
at Radford, Va.
Allene is majoring in business administration. She is a stud-
ent teacher at Happy Valley High School, located one mile
from the Milligan campus, instructing in typing I.
Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Branham of Clintwood,
Va., Allene plans to teach in the Dickenson Memorial High School
in Clintwood, where she was graduated in 1944. Allene is a
whiz in shorthand, taking 120 words a minute and races with
the typewriter keys at 70 a minute. She expects to teach two
years before she says "I do" to the one and only.

Take stock of your self.
What have you that'll make
some swell guy want to spend
the rest of his life loving you,
supporting you, protecting you?
We don't mean a pretty face and
figure. They won't necessarily
last. Check on the assets that
will stand the years and the
weather.
Are you sweet tempered, un-
destanding, tolerant?
Are you honest, truthful,
loyal?
Do you like a*nice home, love
children?
Can you make a good meal,
make good talk while you're
eating it?
Are you sympathetic if there

you are the victim?
Have you a ready laugh for

yes to every one of these ques-

move too fast. We're trailing
you, wedding rings in our

We believe you're wonderful.
Stampede Poll
An- interesting and helpful
collection of suggestions and
criticisms were received during
the recent STAMPEDE poll.
Members of the staff wish to
thank everyone who participat-
ed in this poll. With our limited
number of four pages, we shall
endeavor to give you as good a
paper as we possibly can.
Here are the results of the
poll. The "Buffalo He(a)rd"
had the most number of votes
for the first choice among the
STAMPEDE features. Major
criticism concerning the column
was that there is not enough
of it in each issue.
Next in line was the "Mouse
Hole." By the poll the stud-
ents have indicated that they
turn first to these two columns
as their favorites. In other
words, we are all human beings
and naturally to read, hear and
pass on "gossip."
There also were a number of
suggestions which were very
good and, which we hope to
adopt soon. Perhaps you would
be interested to know some of
these. There were several
"gripes" that there is not
enough news concerning our day
students. We of the staff real-
ize this and would appreciate
it if two of those off-campus
students, preferrably one from
Johnson City and one from
Elizabethton or surrounding
area, would serve as reporters
for such news. If you are in-
terested, see the Editor or drop
us a line in our STAMPEDE
mail box on second floor. After
all, our day students are just
as important on the campus as
those of us who reside here.
Our apologies, and with your
help and cooperation we shall
try to use your suggestions.
Many stated their desire to
see more pictures in the issue.
Then there was the request for
individual student and faculty
We want you to be perfect.
We're pushovers for pedistal
stuff — you high above us, us
looking up to you wanting you
to be too good for us.
The man doesn't live who
isn't dreaming of a wife who's a
solid pal, and a regular friend,
and an angel sweetheart.
Membership Cards
By Clifford Wells
The Milligan College Mono-
gram Club will recognize its
members soon by issuing mem-
bership cards.
These membership cards de-
signed in a handsome black and
white billfold size with a large
orange M will be the first of
their kind for the M Club and
the first for any club here at
Milligan College.
The cards will bear the name
of Dean Cochrane, the Club's
sponsor, the individual's name
and the year.
The M Club also plans to
honor with honorary member-
ship cards persons who have
shown an active interest in athle-
tics here at Milligan and who
have worked with the M Club
in its various activities.
Active membership now in
the M Club stands at forty, but
this will soon be increased from
the thirty-three lettermen on
this year's football squad, four-
teen of which were Freshmen.
Plans are now underway to
hold initiations for those let-
termen which have been voted
in by the M Club members and
who desire to come into the
Club through initiation.
interviews. Mentioning of names
of all the students on the campus
instead of a "select group" was
made on many of the papers.
Several said they would like
more editorials and less poetry
and "gossip." .Then, to make
the paper "official," some sug-
gested a column by — guess who
— yep, J. L. Moore.
Here are some of the helpful
suggestions which we think
worth the second thought, and
which we may be able to do in
the future. An advertsing sec-
tion for the selling of sweaters,
shoes that are too short for your
use, formats tuxedoes, etc. News
concerning our "sister" colleges:
Pictures of students and faculty
taken informally and Personal
interviews; or life sketches of
the students.
This poll has proven successful
and helpful. It has given the
staff something new in the line
of what you, the student body,
desire to read. We are out to
do our best and hope you will
back us by giving us news, more
suggestions or criticisms from
time to time in our STAMPEDE
mailbox.

Party was given in the gymnas-

this annual party had its be-

purpose was to give the boys
of Pardee Hall the opportunity
of playing host to the girls of
Hardin Hall, and that the girls
might visit the' boy's home. For
the last five years, however, the
party has been held in the J. O.

reason that the Parlors of Pardee
were not large enough to ac-
comodate the student body. —

STAMPEDE SPORTS
It was recently my priviledge
tc watch the Happy Valley High
School team in action. This
team, which perhaps more than
any other in this section, has
won fame all over the state of
Tennessee. I saw them beat
a team from Knoxville Central
by about 16 points, whereas
Knoxville Central had edged the
Warriors down at Knoxville by
2 points. To consistently pro-
duce a team of such high type
caliber from such a small school
is a wonder.
The Buffs were one of the first
teams of the nation to win 20
games. Since they have been
running up such high scores,
they must work on the theory
that the best defense is a good
offense. When they pounded
the net for 90 points against
Tusculum, they also proved that
they are well on their way to
a new scoring record in Buff
athletic history.

THE STAMPEDE
MONDAY. FEBRUARY 16, 1948
Several of the fans have ap-
proached me on the idea of play-
ing U. T. again. While I don't
know whether it is possible,
since we have already played
them twice, yet I don't think
that there would be a person in
Milligan who wouldn't turn out
to see the ball game. With the
Buffs having hit their stride,
the game with U. T. would cer-
tainly be a good one. Here's
one sports fan thats for it!
Buffs Stampede Emory and Henry With 106-58 Win
It was Milligan's game from
start to finish last Thursday nite
when the Emory and Henry
Quint engaged the Buffs in a
hardwood fest that ended in a
lopsided score of 106-58. Our
boys played good ball all the
way through the game but the
second half proved which was
the better team when the team
averaged two points to the op-
ponent's one.
Determined to stage a come-
back after Tuesday's loss to L.
M. U., Coach Yancy saw his
men stack up a score that soar-
ed well above the hundred,
mark.
At half time the score stood
on Milligan's side with the Buffs
leading 47-31. Throughout the
game there were 14 of Milligan's
foul shots that missed the bas-
ket. Gouge fouled out in the
second half but not until he had
made nine points. Elliott and
Middleon starred on the re-
bounds, each chalking up 17
points.
The high point man was
Hyder with 21 to his credit.
Middleton, Shepherd and Elliott
each claimed 17 points and Sid
Hathaway was next with 13.
The remainder include Matherly
4, Griz 3, Simmons 2, and Har-
kleroad 3.

Courtesy Press- Chronicle
In our trying to build up sports
enthusiasm on the campus, we
should be careful not to mis-
represent any visiting team.
This was done accidentally, but
yet it left a bad taste in a few
sports fans' mouths when they
found out that we were playing
Cincinnati Bible Seminary in-
stead of the outstanding U. of
Cincinnati team. Amends were
made the next day in the paper,
but yet the small damage had
been done.
It wasn't the Buffaloes fault
that they didn't have any con-
petition against Cincinnati, but
after such a big build-up and
then such a mediocre team, this
sports correspondent wonders if
our team's "reptation" profited
by it or not.
The Buffs have gone through
the toughtest schedule that they
have ever faced in fine shape
with a current 10-game winning
streak. Here's to Coach Yancey
and the boys — may their fine
playing and teamwork spirit
continue til the season ends.
Milligan would like very much
to see that tournament trophy
this year, and I don't know of
a better time than NOW to bring
it back.
Buffs Trounce
Eagles 6041
Chalking up their 24th w-in
in 31 starts, Milligan eased by
Carson-Newman 60 to 41 Feb-
ruary 7th at the Science Hill
Gym, after the Buff "B" team
had defeated the Johnson City
"Hilltoppers" in the prelimin-
ary event 39-29.
The victory was Milligan's
13th in a row. The Herd jump-
ed out in front in the contest
and stayed there throughout the
game. Milligan held a 28 to 11
lead at halftime in a tight de-
fensive battle with Coach S. B.
(Frosty) Holt's boys.
The Buffs, led by Sid Hath-
away with ^7 points, had it easy
all the way. Kyle Middleton
got 13 points. Shipley, Carson-
Newman center hit the net for
16 points to lead the Carson-
Newman scoring.

Rice Plans For
Bowling League
The following letter was pre-
sented to all club presidents by
Sidney W. Rice, director of
Physical Education. It is hoped
that this reprint will help create
student interest in cooperating
in a bowling league for Milligan
College.
To all Club Presidents:
We are attempting to organize
a bowling league and would
appreciate your assistance in
creating some interest in bowling
among your members.
We plan to run this league
in competition from six to eight
o'clock each' evening except
Wednesday. A league shedule
will be played. It will be nec-
essary for a club entering
a team to have a squad of at
least six player. It would be
better for each squad to be made
up of about ten people so that
a full team would be assured
at each match. It is permissable
for clubs to enter a team com-
posed of both boys and girls.
If your club is interested in
entering a team, please let us
know immediately so we can
get competition started.
When you argue with a fool,
that's what he's doing, too!

Smoke Tackled
By Townspeople
Five year plan to banish
the smoke menace at Milligan
was announced last night by
Mayor Crook Jones. The mayor
released the story to the press
last night after a long and de-
liberate council meeting that,
as the mayor expressed it,
"... displayed the kind of com-
munity spirit every American
City should be proud to possess."
Paul Stewart, Professor of
Campusology at Milligan Uni-
versity, and Councilman at
large, presided over the meet-
ing. He is quoted as saying, "It
is high time the citizens of our
fair city awake from their let-
hargy and act upon these pres-
sing problems. The smog has
been so thick that even visiting
motorists complain about noon-
day driving conditions through
the business district."
As a result of Councilman
Stewart's speech, a tentative
five year plan was proposed by
Mayor Jones and a committee
of three was appointed to carry
it out. Rodney Oakes, James
Oaks, and Bobby Elliott, ap-
pointees, were pledged the full
support of industrial and civic
leaders.

MOUSE HOLE
Copied from The Stamped of past years
This publication endeavours to foster the ideals for
which the student body is ever striving; namely, higher
scholorship, cleaner sportsmanship, and finer comradship.
It endeavors to represent the school in all its aspects and
to print, in an accurate and engaging way, everything of
news interest concerning it.
EDITORS NOTE: The following editorial submitted by
Arthur Kelsey takes grand prize in the Stampede Editorial Contest.
It may be of interest to all, that Arthur's entry was the only one
submitted during the month of February. The staff adds an unanimous
"amen" to Mr. Kelsey's editorial for the demise of the students is
attested by a complete lack of interest in winning an easy five dollars.
DEATH OF MILLIGAN STUDENTS
It has been brought to the school officials' attention
that students are dying and refusing to fall. THIS MUST
BE STOPPED.
Beginning March 1, any student found sitting up
after he has died will be dropped from the roll at once. If
it can be proved that the student is supported by his text
books, an additional ninety days will be granted. The
following procedure will be strictly followed:
If, after several hours, it is noted that the
student has not moved or changed positions, the
Professor will investigate.
Because of the highly sensitive nature of Milligan
students and the close resemblance between death and
their natural working attitude, the investigation is to be
made as quietly as possible, so as not to disturb the student
if he is only asleep.
If the student is a G. I. and some doubt exists as to
his true condition, -extending the government check is a
fine test. If the student does not reach for it immediately,
it may reasonably be assumed that he is dead. In some
cases the instinct is so strongly developed, however, that
a spasmodic clutch or reflex action may be encountered.
DON'T LET THIS FOOL YOU!
In all cases a sworn statement by the dead person
must be filled out on a special form. Eighteen copies
will be made— three copies go to the business office, three
to the Registrar's office, three to the Dean's office, three
to Washington and three to the deceased. Destroy the
other three.
An application for permanent leave must be filled
out by the student. Be sure to include the correct for-
warding address. If he cannot write", his signature must
be witnessed by two other students, preferably alive.
Complete the case by pushing the body aside to make
room for the next student.

undertaker, the last man to let you down.

DEAR JIMMY,
I just can't wait to meet the woodruff family when I
get home this spring. They sound very interesting; almost
as interesting as the Bennetts in the play "Pride and Pre-
judice" which is to be given here this week. They're quite a
case, too. Mrs. Bennett is a "social climber" and works harder
at getting her five daughters married off than anything else.
And what a tangle that gets them into. But you'd really
have to see the play to appreciate it.
Boy, it certainly is dead around here now with the basket-
ball team away. They're down in Mississippi, you know,- for
the Kansas City tournament. They've made one of the best
records in the country this year and we sure are proud of
them. You can read all about it on the sports page of the
current "Stampede" which I will be sending you in a day
or two. We sure did give the boys a rousing send off last
Tuesday night with an entertainment in the auditorium and then a
party at Hardin Hall. Everyone will be talking about it for
weeks.
Which reminds me, I'm pretty "week" in some of my
lessons for tomorrow so I'd better sign off for today. "Roger,
over, and out."
Yours till the stage whispers,
SIS
Alas! Here on the Milligan
campus, I find everyone unfor-
tunate victims of spring fever.
Even though the tennis fiends
are already keeping the tennis
courts hot with their tracks, and
even though the softball fan-
atics may now be found north
of Cheek Hall in the evenings
after dinner renewing their
baseball technique, let this lit-
tie mouse remind you that you
are in for impending doom.
Just keep in mind, fellow mem-
bers of the r.eknown Snow Club,
our best and biggest snowfall
last year came in March!
Dedicated to Shepherd Boys
You asked me why Ed Grif-
fith's Sunday shoes are all cov-
ered with paint? Here is the
surprising answer. These' dom-
estic Shepherd boys have been
busy redecorating their rooms
and I hear via the grapevine
that they certainly look "nice.
"Sleepy" Swartz falls asleep as
soon as he hits the doorstep
each time he goes up to his
Shepherd home. Shall we say
it must be late hours, or shall
we innocently blame it on the
climate? Kenneth Roark, that
Elizabethton brain, has almost
given up his home in Elizabeth-
ton in preferance to Shepherd.
Bill Davidson is really making
the rounds, hmmm? One of our
fall football fellows, Willis Kin-
sey, lives here also. Kinsey is
another of the notable Pennsy-
lvanians. It seems almost every
Pennsylvanian boy is blessed
with curley hair like Kinsey's
To name a few: Eddie Barnes,
Willie Johnson, Bill Smith, and
others. Speaking of the Key-
stone state, have you noticed
that inseperable pair, Bob
Lempp and Paul Lenor? Burt
Wilson has the newly bestowed
name of "Cutie-pie." Did you
know that Jack Lukehart has a
handsome brother? Bob Albert-
son made quite a hit on the re-
cent Milligan radio program. It
is a widely know fact that all
these boys consistently burn the
midnight oil, They study con-
scientiously, we all presume!
Nosing In On Cheek Hall
Being an inquisitive little
mouse, _I was very attentive
when the inmates of Cheek
were discusssing their plans for
the forthcoming spring vaca-
tion. Peggy Medsker plans to
go to Stuart, Florida, where
her parents are spending the
winter.. Grace Lang and Betty
Jo Grubbs will board a train for
Miss Lang's home in Grinnell,
Iowa. They plan to shop in
Chicago en route to Grinnell.
"Tinker" Catlett has not yet
decided whether she will stay
here and have a partial plate
made at the dentist's or visit
her home in Martinsburg, West
Virginia. Kitty King announc-
ed, "I'm planning to head
straight for Arkansas, take off
my shoes, and not put them on
again until I hit the Milligan
campus!"
Hardin Hall and the
"New Look"
I would nominate Nan Gil-
bert as the girl having the most
consistent "new look." With
her wardrobe of fashionable ap-
parel, she could easily present
a wonderful style show. The
longer ballerina skirts with
those lacy white blouses just
like your grandmother used to
wear have become favorite en-
sembles . for Thelma Gwin,
Lois Neely, Bobbie Gutschalk,
Naomi Godsey, Betty Ruth Wil-
liams, Miss Smith, our librarian,
MUD OR STARS
A farmer stood in an art gallery looking at a beautiful paint-
ing. „"Why there is enough paint used in that picture to
whitewash all my fences," he said. He was looking at a master-
piece but ha could think only of whitewashing fences.
Here at Milligan we are surrounded by natural beauty that
cannot be surpassed. What do you see when you look at the
sun sinking behind "Old Buffalo?" At the moon shining over
the campus? At the trees nodding in the breeze? When you
hear the wind blowing in your window? Does it grate on your
nerves or do you hear music? Imagine a world where it was
always calm — an ocean with never a ripple — a tree that never
stirs.
As you sit at the feet of your professors, do you think
only of grades; of getting your work in on time; of pleasing the
professors, or do you catch a vision of how you can use your
knowledge to help humanity?
As you approach the Lord's Day, do you see simply a day
of laziness and pleasure, or do you remember, that it was upon
the first day of the week that Christ arose from the grave and
that is why we have this day. Do you go into His Church and
and come away feeling drawn closer to the Christ? The first
Lord's Day after James A. Garfield became president of the
United States, a member of the cabinet called a special meeting
at 11 a. m. The President said he could not be there for he had
a previous engagement. The cabinet member said serious national
issues were at stake and wanted to know what previous engage-
ment could be more important than the cabinet meeting. The
great President replied. "I have engagement with my Lord
at 10 o'clock at the Christian Church where I expect to meet
Him at the Lord's table.. No engagement is more important than
that." The cabinet meeting was not held. The affairs of the
country were ironed out in due time and just as much ac-
complished.
If the great President felt the necessity of worshiping in the
Lord's house upon the first day of the week, how foolish it
seems if we let trivial matters keep us from being there.

What Is YOUR Name
There's lots of boys in school
named Bill, and some nam-
ed Joseph, too,
And girls who go by every name
from Leah Ruth to Sue.
There's folks named Williams,
King, and Hill; and Smith
and Jones and Fine;
But everyone in school will say,
"There's none as good as
mine."
Yes you, no doubt, if human,
think that your name is the
best
And like to hear it spoken and
distinquished from the rest,
And have, your friends all greet
you with a smile and friend-
ly shout -
And know that you are re-
cognized because your
name's called out.
But it's a double pleasure when
another speaks your name
If able, when you answer him,
to treat him just the same.
So keep on asking daily, "What's
your name," just o'er and
o'er
Until you learn to know the
and others. In trying to obtain
that Gibson Girl look, many
girls have been pulling their
curly locks back and tying them
with a perky black bow. Jim
Marshall was heard to remark,
"I always knew girls would
have to start washing their ears
someday, too!"
A Postscript About Pardee
Conspicuously handsome
among the boy's apparel are Bill
Woodward's yellow cordurory
jacket and Robert McGothlin's
classy crimson jacket, In' the
eyes of all the girls, Beverly
Doland from Augusta, Ga., really
rates because of his neat look-
ing sweaters. How would we
classify Joe Crain and his Gen-
eral Grant beard? Dare wie
call it the "new look?"
folks you didn't know be-
fore.
Of course you don't mind doing
this when school has just
begun
And you are meeting strangers
from the dawn till set of
sunj
But keep on asking someone
though the winter and it's
snows
And one by one you'll learn
them as your friendship cir-
cle grows.
Now names serve many purpos-
es, and that you can't deny,
For wouldn't this be a mixed up
World if all adults were
"Si?"
And if the girls were all called
"Jane" and all the boys
were "Jim,"
We never -could distinguish who
was meant by "her" or
"him."
But when each name is differ-
ent, we then can designate
That certain individual whom
we would like to "date,"
Or him we'd like to honor for
some deed that he has done,
Or one in whom a person can
find counsel, love, or fun.
And thus names pick up mean-
ing from the people whom
they bless,
And one name stands for "fail-
ure," while another spells
"success."
One person is a "neighbor" and
another is a "friend." —
Of terms with which to desig-
nate there simply is no end.
So while it is important to
distinguish "you" from 'me"
With "given" names and others
which reveal one's family
tree,
In addition to the 'handle"
which your parents gave to
you,
Do your life and conduct wit-
ness that you are a "Chris-
tian," too?

STAMPEDE SPORTS
As we go to press, the Buf-
faloes have just finished the
Volunteer State Athletic Tourn-
ament at Lebanon, Tennessee.
The dark-horse team from Lin-
coln Memorial University came
through with the trophy. The
Buffs did not liveup to their
pre- tourney notices as they
were favored along with T. P. I.
to win the tournament. Milligan
wound up in the tournament in
4th place.
Coach Brown seemingly has
had a jinx Put on him by L*
M. U. The boys from Harro-
gate defeated him last year in
the finals, when he was coach-
ing Milligan. and they again
defeated him this year by knock-
ing off T. P. I.
This writer saw an interesting
sports column the other day.
It was in a Pittsburg newspaper
and it was about Milligan Col-
lege. The Pittsburgh sports
writer made the suggestion that
it might be possible to bring
the Buffs to Duquesne Gardens
to play. The Buffs have made
a wonderful record so far this
year and with only one senior
on the squad, they should come
back next year, when most
teams are losing men, and really
make a definite impact on the
national intercollegiate picture.
Spring football is in full swing
right now. From the looks of
the scarred up faces and black
eyes a good bit of swinging has
been going on. Coach Spraker
has really been doing a bang-up
job in rounding the boys into
shape.
Coach Sid Rice has had his
track men out for a couple of
weeks now rounding them into
shape also. A good turnout
greeted him, and the boys are
working hard to turn out a
winning track team represent-
ing the school.
Coach Thompson has the ten-
nis enthusiasts working out
about two hours daily. He is
being ably assisted by "Man
ager" Kyle Ripley. Several let-
termen are back to form a nuc-
leus for a fine squad.
So far during this academic
year the athletic progres of Mil-
ligan has gone forward with the
Buffs, in all sports events, win-
ning about 3 times as many
games as they have lost. This
speaks well for our coaching
staff.
With spring upon us and the
weather making a turn for the
better, many more Milliganites
will turn to the out-of-doors for
their sports and recreation.
Haven't heard too much about
the bowling tournament that
they were going to have, but I
hope that it doesn't fall through,
out that the presidents of the
/arious clubs will get the ball
rolling. (Bowling ball).

favorable response to the call
for this season's track team.
Sprinters, Milers, hurdlers, relay
men, — all, have turned out to
represent Milligan on the cin-

weeks preparation for the first
meet, daily workouts are pro-
gressing to get the prospects in
good condition, Around the last
of March^Milligan will compete
in two large relays; one at
Gainsville, Florida, and the other
at Birmingham, Alabama. Again
this year Milligan will play host
to possibly 12 colleges and as
many high schools on April 17,

Pikeville Taken
113-67 By Buffs
The Herd passed its own
scoring mark of 106 after being
held to a 43-31 margin in the
first half. The Buffaloes start-
ed rolling in the second half to
trample a plucky but out-classed
Pikeville team 113-67. For the
Buffs who were making their
last home appearance, it was the
biggest scoring show of the
season. The feat sent Milligan's
point total for the season soaring
to 2,239 markers and a game
with Carson-Newman remain-
ing. Kyle Middleton took scor-
ing honors with 20 points.

the Milligan College Buffaloes
in the first round of the Volun-

tournament, burying the Buffs
under a 75 to 56 score and living
up to the expectation of tourna-

Milligan took a quick lead on
a layup by Paul Griz, but Butler
of T. P. I tied it up at 2-2. Sid
Hathaway's foul shot sent the
Buffs ahead again and Kenny
Hyder's field goal made it 5-2,
but then Coach Ray Brown's
Eagles got hot and stayed that
way as they pulled into a 15-13

At the half it was 39-29 in
favor of T. P. I. and the Eagles
retained a 10-point lead until a
late splurge which sent the

Oddities from basketball's his-
tory— as culled from a recent
issue of Varsity, the young
man's magazine ....
Barefoot leaguers were once
the style in Calcutta . . .
In 1906, all of the players in
a game at Madison Square Gar-
den wore roller skates. No fouls
were called.
In 1904 the Buffalo Germans
swamped Hobart College, 130-0.
In 1903, the lowest-scoring
game was played: Georgetown,
Illinois, made a foul goal in the
first period, then stalled, and
defeated the Homer team, 1-0.
The most outstanding team,
Varsity Magazine found, was the
Passaic (N. J.) High School five.
It began a winning streak in
1921 that lasted four years, win-
ning 159 games straight . .

THE BUFFALO
HE(A)RD
"In spring a young man s
fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love," and while Milligan is
no exception, there is one dif-
ference. Their thoughts turn
that way in any season. Want
proof?
We heard someone wondering
the other day if John Bowers
is a woman hater, but we caught
a glimpse of him in the parlor
of Hardin reading an article
entitled "Start Dating.-" The
warm weather we've been hav-
ing seems to have affected even
him.
Third floor Hardin admires
the little "clinche" of Knoxvil-
lians who arrived on campus
with the coming of the new
semester. Bill Beeler, expeci-
ally, has quite a following. And
then there's Dave and Madeline.
Did we really see Billy Wood-
wax's beloved yellow jacket on
Dot Riddle, last week? It must
have been genuine affection
which prompted BUI to let any-
one touch it.
Ruth O'Neill was everheard to
say, in response to someone's
remark that many a match at
Milligan had its beginning down
"by the old mill stream," that
she has been down there every
day, but with no results. Here's
a cue for somebody.
Martha Noblitt is seeing more
than a little of Raymond Jones.
Looks like another triangle is
in the offing.
And here's a late announce-
ment in the interest of the male
population at Milligan . . . Mary
Lou removed the diamond from
her third finger left hand two
weeks ago.
Frances Pardue seems to have
developed a sudden aversion to
Yankees. Right, Paul?
After seeing Harold, the Buf-
falo now knows why Lois Pettitt
just can't see the Milligan boys
in a romantic light.
If you've wondered what
happens to the Milligan boys
on "Blue Mondays," chances are
you'll find them in the Bendix
Serve-Yourself Laundry in J. C.
doing their weekly washing. To
quote Bill Davidson, "I've just
finished the biggest washing
and I'm SO tired."
Winnie says so much depends
on whether or not Jug makes
the first team at Carson-New-
man. It would be nice to have
him at Milligan, wouldn't it,
Winnie? I

couragement, Leroy? Naomi

And Uncle Sam was Paul.

TIP-OFF ON MARRIAGE
A minister advertised for a
handy man and the next morn-
ing a neat young man rang the
bell.
"Can you start the fire and
have breakfast ready by seven
o'clock?" asked the minister.
The young man thought he
could.
"Can you polish the silver,
wash the dishes and keep the'
house and grounds neat and
tidy"? was the next question.
"Look, Rverened," protested
the young man. "I came here
to see about getting married,
but if it's going to be anything
like that, you can count me out
right now!"

From The Files
Football players are a lot
like women drivers — you never
know what they're going to do
until they've done it.— THE
STAMPEDE, November 15, 1941.
On the evening of Thanksgiv-
ing day the boys of Milligan
entertained the girls with a
semi- formal party. The party'
began with a mock-radio pro-
gram, presented in the auditor-
ium. It was a true variety show,
highlighted by pictures of vari-
ous members of the faculty and
student body. At the conclusion
of this program the entertain-
ment was continued in Pardee
Hall, where refreshments were
served— THE STAMPEDE, Dec-
ember 6, 1941.
Two little boys were watching
the Buffaloes practice football
the other day. An extra ball lay
on the sidelines, so they decided
to have a game between them-
selves. The first little fellow
said, "I'll be Showalter." The
second one replied angrily, "No,
you won't, you was Showalter
yesterday."— THE STAMPEDE,
October 25, 1941.
"College is a place for which
a daughter hopes, a mother
prays, while junior loafs, and
father pays — or it's a place
where casting sheep's eyes won't
get you a sheepskin." — THE

HOUSE-CLEANING
This is house cleaning time. Girls are going through their
wardrobes and dressers to see what useless things they have. I
remember when I was in college, each Spring we had an auction
sale when we auctioned off the things which we thought were
useless to us.
While it is well to cast aside the things that clutter our rooms,
it is even better to take out of our lives the things that are
cluttering us to the extent that we are being hampered from
doing our best. If there are any bad habits that we have acquired
during the year, let us rid ourselves of them.
As we wash the windows of our rooms, let us wash the
windows of our hearts. The little poem "Windows" written by
my sister, Helen Welshimer, expresses my thoughts:
CHAPEL CHIMES
RALPH D. McLEAN
GOOD NEWS
The word spread rapidly that day to all the faithful few
That Jesus had arisen as he'd said that He would do.
For Mary Magdelene had been faithful to her trust
Of telling the disciples, as the Lord had said she must.
And so, when darkness settled,' there came quickly through the
gloom
A group of His disciples, who assembled in a room;
And fearing that the rumors might arouse the Jews to fight,
They closed the doors securely and they locked them sure and
tight.
But suddenly into their midst there came One whom they knew,
Who greeted them most graciously with "Peace be unto you."
And then were the disciples glad, because it was the Lord,
And joy welled up within them like a surging organ chord.
Their faith no longer wavered, for 'twas founded on the Rock,
And they never more denied Him when the crowds did jeer and
mock.
But Didymus was absent on that great eventful eve,
And when told the gospel tidings, he said, "I will not believe,
Except I see His wounds myself and touch them with my hands,"
And thus the faithful Thomas took an honest doubter's stand
But eight days later Jesus came while Didymus was there,
So Thomas saw with his own eyes, but touch he did not dare.
He quickly took his place with those who witnessed for the Lord
And went with them into the world to wield the Spirit's Sword.
Oh, you today who still would doubt the resurrection news,
Look out beyond the blinding walls of narrow human views,
For anyone who earnestly will seek to know the truth
Will find for this event alone most overwhelming proof.
And having once accepted Him, who gave His life for you,
You'll seek to serve Him everyday and strive His will to do.
And don't be selfish with the news, but seek to share your joy
With every man and woman, and every girl and boy;
For still the challenge echoes down through all eternity
That "Even so I send you, as my Father hath sent me."
DEAR SIS:
As you kno this is spring an I have been going around all
day in circules, and all I think about is the burds and the prety
flowers. When I think of the pretty burds and flowers I think of
a poem I lerned last year. It goes like this:
Spring is sprung, the grass is rizz,
I wonder where de boidies is.
Da little boids is on the wing,
Now aint that absoid,
I thout the wings was on the boid.
Aint that cute, I don't kno who rote it, but ever one around
here is saying it now.
Boy this spring wether is shur nice, I can't wate till you
come home so that you can go fishin with me. They are bitin
good down at the old pon, but you kno how mom is she wont
let me go fishin less you are here to go with me, she thinks I
will get close to the water. Well I guess I will have to quit ritin,
I hear mom callin.
Yours till the rose buds,
JIMMY
The Buffalo is ready to tell
all again, and while he's about
it, he'd like to throw in a few
apt song titles that struck his
fancy this week. So ... .
The cloth on the back table
in the dining hall is clearly
marked, "Reserved for the 3 D
Club." What exclusive organ-
ization is this?
Roberta has been inquiring
as to Cliff Wells idenity. Would
someone please point him out
to her and possibly arrange an
introduction?
"Merry Oldsmobile" — June
and Frank.
Jack, it does seem that after
spending a whole evening with
that cute little girl down at V.
I., you would have learned her
name.
"We Could Make Such Beauti-
ful Music Together" — Tinker
and Bob. „.
Could Mary Frances' reason
for spending less and less of her
time with the Milligan boys be
"for the love of Pete?"
There's still one "Riddle" that
Billy Woodward can't figure
out.
"Apple Blossom Wedding" —
Andy and Wilma.
Spring may be just around
the corner for most of us, but
for Sammy Whitehead, it is still
"Winter(s)."
Then there's this gentle hint
from Hosey, which he declares
will be backed up by a punch
in the nose: "I resent being
called by my 'maiden' name.
In other words, DON'T call me
Claude!"
"My Bill" — Joy Marsh
Topping the new list, you'll
find Marlyn Livcsay and Bruce
Presnell.
Honestly, Kyle, there's no
harm in asking Jean for a date.
She can't do more than say
"NO".
Do the tactics of the Cheek
girls "dampen" your technique
when you're telling Mary good-
night, Joe?
"Oh, Susanna" — Preacher Bar-
ton.
If Sam Smith's resistance
could only be broken down,
there are at least half a dozen
candidates for his affection on
campus. The Buffalo will be
glad to furnish you with names,
Sam.
Miss Mynatt's tap class is sure
to turn out a couple of Astaires
and possibly even a Ginger
Rogers. D'Agata holds top place
as the Buffalo's choice for "Like-
liest person to get the first Hol-
lywood contract."
Two weeks ago as Evelyn
Large anxiously awaited the ar-
rival of "you know what" Phil,
she was overheard calling Paul
Semmler "Honey." Just prac-
ticing, of course.
STUDENTS' STATISTICS

WINDOWS
I scrubbed the windows -of my house
Today, and suddenly
The sky that had been dim became
A shining canopy.
The trees, whose dull leaves yesterday
Were dusty, crumbling things,
Discovered vibrancy again,
And danced on brighter wings.
I scrubbed the windows of my heart,
Washed out false hopes, old sin,
Worn grudges, jealousies — tonight
New stars are shining in!
— Mildred Welshimer.
PERHAPS HE TURNED INTO COAL
TWINS
An Irishman stopped before a
grave in a cemetery, containing
the tombstone declaring: "Here
lies a lawyer and an honest
man."
"An' who'd ever think," he
murmured, there'd be room for
two men in that one little,
grave!!"
HE WON
"Why, I'm ashamed of you,
my boy," the father fumed at
his loafing son. "When George
Washington was your age, he
had become a surveyor, and was
hard at work."
"And when he was your age,"
the boy said softly, "he was
President of the United States."
It was test day in Botany
'Class. As all the students rush-
ed in, they were talking and
scrambling around trying to get
a seat close to a friend that had
studied the night before. Among1
all these boys and girls, there
eat a fellow with his mind
buried completely in a big, red
book. Not seeming to know
where he was, or why he was
there, he sat nonchalantly read-
ing his book. Then suddenly
the deep, sepulchral voice, of
the professor boomed out, "Give
me the formation of coal." And
as if in a trance, our little
friend slowly got out his note-
book and pencil and started to
write. From the end of his
pencil came these words: Un-
cle Remis said, "Not in your
time, not in my time, but many
long years ago, there lived gig-
antic plants and animals an the
earth. In time these plants and
animals kicked the bucket.
Since there were no human life
around, the plants and animals
laid where they fell, and after
a short while, the decaying pro-
cess began. More and more be-
gan to pile up, and finally under
great pressure, the first ones
that had died began to give off
carbon. This caused them to
be called peat. The peat chang- .
ed to lignite. And the lignite
changed to coal'."
After signing his name, he
folded his paper and with a
limping, half running walk, left
the room and has never been
seen since.

Concerning Excuses
Illnesses, which for the most
part include colds, nose and
throat infections, and upset
stomachs, keep more Milligan
students away from class than
any other cause. At least, that
was the information gleaned on
persual of the files in the office
of Dean which contain the re-
quests for excuses this past
semester.
Second place on the list were
hose asking permisison to keep
ippointments with dentists and
nedical doctors. Several were
railed home because of illness
or death in their families.
Among the day students, some
found it hard to get to school
in time for eight o'clock classes
when the roads were covered
with ice and snow. Others in
this group were absent because
of car trouble and accidents,
others missed their busses.
Scattered here and there
throughout the excuse requests
were quite a number of rather
unique petitions. For instance,
one of our young married vet-
erans inquired of Dean Coch-
rane, "Did you ever have to
take your wife to see her moth-
er?" Another student planning
to get married asked to be ex-
cused for "my wedding and nec-
cessary developments following.
One optimistic young man
thought it would be possible to
obtain an excuse for a day of
quail hunting. Unfortunately,
the Dean was not of the opinion
that he deserved this holiday.
As a result of the initiation met-
ed out to the Pre-Med pledges,
two requests for excuses reach-
ed the Dean's office. One alarm
clock belonging to a student
living off the campus developed
internal ailments and failed to
"go off" one fateful morning.
Other rather unusual excuses
were found, including one ab-
sence to give a blood transfusion,
one to appear as witness in a
court trial, and two to receive
degrees in Masonry. One vet-
eran missed classes because of
an attack of malaria contracted
while in service.

WITH PLEASURE
The sermon had lasted an hour
and a half already*— and hour
and a quarter to the major pro-
phets.and the preacher had not
got a third of the way through
the minor ones yet. At last, he
paused impressively, and ex-
claimed: "And Habbakuk —
where shall we put him?"
A man rose in the back row.
"He can have my seat. Mister."
Catalogues For All
Have you received your new
Milligan Catalouge??? If not
there is one for the asking at

catalogue is alloted each student.
The new catalogue features

year and many other items of
importance.
Two Million Jobs
Available During
Summer Vacation
Last year a national young
man's magazine surveyed the
summer job field, and predicted
that one million vacation-time
positions would be filled by
students. A recently-published
government census revealed
that the actual figure came to
about 1.001,900.
This- year that same magazine
—Varsity— has surveyed the
field again, and predicts that
twice as many jobs will be
available during the summer
months of '48.
In an article that tells how and
where to get these jobs. Varsity
splits the vacation employment
field into seven categories:
self-employment, governmental
work, transportation, sports and
entertainment, summer camps,
industry.and service and trades.
According to the article in the
current issue, the first two job
categories offer some of the best
opportunities in summer work.
Jobs are op"en in three branches
of the Department of the Inter-
ior—in the Geological Survey
division (for field assistants); in
the Fish and Wildlife Service (as
refuge and hatchery laborers);
and in the Bureau of Reclama-
tion (for engineering aids, sur-
vey aids, draftsmen and soil
specialists.) Numerous other po-
sistions are open in the National
Park Service, and in hotels, res-
taurants, and concessions at
these parks.
In each of the jobs divisions
listed. Varsity Magazine points
u*p the outstanding positions: in
Transportation, for example,
there are airline passenger-rela-
tions jobs available. In the Sum-
mer Camp field, public and set-
tlement camps often give jobs to
inexperienced applicants — al-
thought they pay less.
Job counselors however, al-
most unanimously suggested a
wide-open field for self-employ-
ment: the small .one or two-man
day-camp. As these authorities
point out no ca'pital is needed
— little practical experience is
necessary — and when the ven-
ture is operated intelligently,
returns are good. But — in this
field, as in the others — oppor-
tunities are going fast. So—
act to get your job now!
A Simple Trick
To Crash Oak Ridge
Atom Plant In '43
Norbert Gagen — a Purdue,
Class of '36, graduate — was giv-
en a startling command early
in the war:
"Break into the plant at Oak
Ridge, Tennessee!" he was
ordered. "Crack it — spy on it.
Take pictures, steal documents,
make maps — speak to people,
and ask them questions. Try to
find out what's being made!"
These words began one of the
strangest, most secret assign-
ments of World War H — a story-
revealed only last month in
Varsity, The Young Man's Mag-
azine. With an almost unbe-
lievably simple ruse, Counter
Intelligence Corpsman Gagen
actually penetrated our atom
bomb security defense before
going on to other vital as-
signments, including delivery to
the West Coast of an atom bomb
that shattered a Jap City.
Detailing his story in an ex-
clusive report, Gagen described
the air of Hollywoodish secrecy
that characterized his mission.
Called but of an intelligence
camp staging area, he was or-
dered to Knoxville, Tennessee-
There, in a tight-lipped inter-
view with an Army Intelligence
Office, Gagen was given a
camera, a pistol, and a set of
keys to a car — and told to "get
into Oak Ridge*"
Working with another agent,
he made and dismissed doz-
ens of plans for entering Oak
Ridge illegally, but finally pin-
ned all his chances on a cheap
"Special Officer's" badge he'd
bought in a pawn-shop. By
flashing this badge in an au-
thoritative manner at the guard-
ed gates of Oak Ridge, he bluffed
his way into forbidden terri-
tory, took pictures, made maps,
stole documents, and prepared
a thick report on area activities.
"This report, in enemy hands,"
said Varsity, "could have spelled
disaster for Oak Ridge." But in
the hands of American Intelli-
gence, it made the bomb the
best-kept secret in history.
Two little Milligan Freshman
were busily discussing their
families.
"Why does your grandmother
read the Bible so much?" asked
Emogene.
"I think," said Christine, "that
she's cramming for her finals."
The only two who can live as
cheaply as one are a flea and a
dog.
My lady, be wary of Cupid,
And list to the lines of this
verse;
To let a fool kiss you -is stupid,
To let a kiss fool you is worse.
Perfume and flattery should
be smelled, but not swallowed.
A salesman rapped on the
screen door at a house where,
just inside and plainly visibly
an eight-year-old was painful-
ly practicing his piano lesson.
"Sonny," he inquired pleas-
antly, "is your mother home?"
The boy gave the salesman a
murderous look over his should-
er, then growled, "What do you
think, mister?"
There are many times when
you cannot find help, but there
is no time that you cannot give
it.
Here is one for the Mathem-
aticians:
Deposit fifty dollars in your
bank and make the following
withdrawals:
(1) $20 leaving a balance of §30
(2) 15 leaving a balance of 15
(3) 9 leaving a balance of 6
(4) 6 leaving a balance of 0
$50 $51
Where do you get the extra
dollar, or do you get it?
The best way to wipe out a
friendship is to sponge on it.
Dale: "Your eyes twinkle like
diamonds."
Janie: "Go on, tell me more
about diamonds."
Choir Receives Robes
The Choir is proud to an-
nounce the arrival of forty new
robes. The wine-colored frocks
and yellow rabats were heartily
welcomed in preference to the
usual 'dark suit, black bow' and
'white blouse, dark skirt' re-
galia.
On April, the first, the Choir
will begin its ten day tour to
points north and east. The
Canton, Ohio Christian Church
and the National City Church of
Washington, D. C, will be among
the churches to hear the newly
robed Choir in its spring con-
cert tour.
LIBRARIAN'S MOTHER ILL
Miss Gretchen Smith, College
Librarian, has been absent from
the library for the past week
due to the illness of her mother.
Mrs. Smith underwent an opera-
tion at the West Penn Hospital,
Pittsburgh, last Wednesday. Her
condition is improving but she
will be in the hospital for a few
weeks.
HE KNEW TWO VERSES
It was visitor's day in Sunday
School, and the teacher called
on her brightest pupil to recite
a verse from Scripture.
"And -Judas went out and
hanged himself," said the boy,
an impish light in his eyes.
The teacher looked scandal-
ized: the visitor laughed, and
said, "Do you know another
verse, young man?"
"Oh. yes sir. "Go thou and do
likewise," said the boy guile-
lessy.

M. CLUBBERS FEAST
The Milligan M Club held its

the Johnson City Press-Chron-
icle, was the speaker for the
evening.
Harry Fine, club President,

In every class there is the student that opens all the
windows, expands his chest, buttons his three sweaters,
and sits down to watch us freeze. As soon as the weather
is warm, he will have all the windows closed and the

Another quaint habit the students have is to jump from

the bell dies away. This situation often leaves the instruc-

Some attend college for four years without realizing

at Milligan would care to give the impression that their
lack of courtesy originated in the home.

THE STAMPEDE
FRIDAY. APRIL 30. 1948
Sport Shorts
with
ed Mcdonald
Milligan's spring sports pro-
gram is in full bloom with ten-
nis, baseball and track. Coaches
Thompson, Spraker, and Rice
have all come up with top-notch
teams.
Dr. Hay Walker, President El-
liott's former high school track
coach at Huntington Beach, Cai.,
presented the college with a
beautiful French green bronze
trophy showing a hurdler with
perfect form clearing the
hurdles. The presentation was
made at a chapel service last
week. Dr. Walker has turned
out many men who have become
famous on the track during his
days at Huntington Beach.
Dr. Walker in his chapel talk
told how his boys would go to
the big track meets and look
at the prizes until they were
ready to give their last ounce
of strength to win. Then he
told the Buff trackmen to take a
good look at the trophy and go
out on the track and give every-
thing they had to win. Needless
to say, the Buffs came back with
the trophy having won the Mil-
ligan Relays for the second con-
secutive year. They turned back
State Buccaneers by a score of
37 1-4 to 36 1-4.
I doff my hat to Ralph Thorpe
who has turned in two neat vic-
tories with less than three in-
nings of work. Ralph has shown
remarkable control in the clutch
and should make a heated bid
for a starting assignment with
the Buff nine.
Captain Roland McCuny has
been playing some excelent ball
for the Tennis team as has Meek
Robinette. Walker, Williams,
Archer, and Shepherd have all
played consistent ball. The ten-
nis team showed remarkable
improvement since the first of
the year. After taking Mars Hill,
they were turned back by the
University of Tennessee and
then the Buff netters came back
to defeat Maryville 6 to 3.
Tuesday they were overtaken by
East Tennessee State by a score
of 5 to 2.
Some Buff trackmen are
making the trip to Philadelphia
to the Perm Relays. After then-
fine showing at home, we are
sure they will not fall too short
when they are away.
The whole school has turned
sports conscious. The bowling
alleys, ' the horeshoes, and the
tennis courts are being used con-
tinuously. Milligan has every
opportunity for wholesome rec-
reation and it is good to see so
many participating in sports.
If you are not in the habit of
seeing many sports events, then
begin to train yourself to do
so. Acquire the habit of watch-
ing Milligan on the field, the
court or the track. Almost any
afternoon, a tennis match, or
baseball game, or track meet is
taking place. Let's support the
boys at all games.
MTLLIGAM'S TRACK TEAM — James Artrip, Emerson Brown, Kara Bright, Glenn Boatright,
Paul Conkin, Edward Childress, Jack Caldwell, Charles D'agata, Donald Malone, Clayton
Mullins, Harold Pope, Roy Pope, Francis Powers, Kenneth Robinson, Homer Richardson, Don-
ald Smith, Walter Smith, Charles Beck, Paul Semmler, Matthew Schwartz, Emine S. Suttle,
Clifford Wells, Bert Wilson, Duard Walker, Robert Elliott and Claude Holsclaw.
Track Men Show
At Penn Relays
The first string track team re-
cently returned from Philadel-
phia where it participated in
the celebrated Penn Relays.
Coach Rice was proud that his
team placed fourth and sixth
in their feat in two of the events
entered. It was a marked im-
provement over last year when
the team returned without hon-
ors. The boy's can be congrat-
ulated for tackeling some of the
toughest competition this coun-
try has to offer.-
Second String
Track Team
Licks Mars Hill
While the first line team was
in Philadelphia for the Penn
Relays, Professor Guy Oaks
drove the B team to Mars Hill,
North Carolina where it defeat-
ed the junior college's track
team on its own track.

Just A Reminder
Only students who have paid
their college expenses will be
alowed to take their exams. If
yours are unpaid, drop by the
business office and settle your
account at your earliest conven-
ience.
Running people down is bad
business, whether you are a mo-
torist or a gossip.
A task worth doing and friends
worth having make life worth
living.
Mountain Trip Planned
The entire school will leave
Milligan Thursday, May 6 for
the spring outing. Either a bus
trip or a climb to the top of
Buffalo Mountain will highlight
the picnic day. Watch for the
posting of complete information.
What Did You Say?
Some folks are hard of hearing — others, slow to understand
The words that have been spoken — or the gesture of the hand;
And so they have to answer with an "Uh, what did you say?"
And have the thought repeated or explained another way.
Now if it's caused by deafness — or, perhaps, a low I Q,
Or even some distraction which kept him from hearing you.
It's proper to repeat it with a sympathetic smile.
And thus, at understanding you, give him another trial.
Tennis
The Milligan College tennis
team started their season with
a clean sweep over Mars Hill
Meek Robinette, Roland Mc-
Curry, Johnny Walker, Edward
Archer, and Paul Williams each
won the single matches. Robi-
nette and McCurry took a
double as did Walker and
Archer.
The Milligan netmen rolled
over the Johnson City Hilltop-
pers on the city courts by a
count of nine to zero, Wednes-
day, April 14, for their second
win of the season.
The tennis boys fell to the
Tennessee netmen, Thursday,
April 15, for their first defeat
of the season, by a count of
eight to one. Milligan's only
point maker was Roland Mc-
Curry who beat the Tennessee
number two man. The first
match between Meek Robinette
and W. G. Currie lasted for three
and a half hours with Currie
coming out the victor. Currie
was a switch hand artist, show-
ing the tennis fans something
unusual on the court. The en-
tire match lasted for five hours,
probably one of the longest
matches ever played at Milli-
gan.
Milligan netmen won their
third victory in four stars by
defeating Maryville seven to
two.
Milligan on the Track
The Milligan track team edged
out State College, Saturday,
April 10, by the narrow margin
of 60 to 62 in .a thrilling con-
test at Roosevelt stadium. It
was a nip-and-tuck affair all
through the meet. The main
gun for Milligan was Bob Elliott
who gathered 18 points to lead
the Buffs to their first victory.
Charlie D'agata was injured
while pole vaulting, pulling the
ligaments in his ankle.
Fortune, from State, took the
discus throw with 106 feet 5
inches. Lempp from Milligan
was second with 94 feet 5 inches.
Suttle of Milligan, took the
javelin throw with 155 feet.
State took all three places in
the broad jump. Musselman
leaped 22 feet 2 mcnes.
In the high hurdles. Pope and
Wells, both from Milligan, took
first and second.
Earles from State won the pole
vault with a 10 foot jump.
D'agata took second place.
Bob Elliott won the high jump
with 5-foot 8 inches.
Milligan took all three places
in the shot put with Elliott,
Keith, and Lenoir. The mark
set was 42 feet.
Musselman won the 100 yard
dash at 10:4 while Elliott and
D'agata made second and third
place.
Milligan won the 220, taking
all three places. Elliott, D'agata
and Schwartz the winners. Time
23:1.
Lane from State won the 440
and Malone from Milligan plac-
ed second.
Jim Artrip easily won the
half-mile in 2:10. Beck placed
third.
Nidiffer from State, not only
won the mile run but also took
first place in the two mile run.
Wilson placed third in the mile
for Milligan and August took
second in the two-mile.
But if the other person simply doesn't "listen in,"
Or fails to pay attention through a lack of discipline.
Or purposely ignores you while he thinks of something else.
It isn't very long until your interest simply melts.
And if he then should ask you to repeat the things you've said,
It's very very likely you will "sock him one" instead.
And most folks wouldn't blame you, for they'd say it was his fault
And that you'd had good reason for your "batt'ry and assault."
The Penn Relays
While Milligan trackmen did
not place at the Penn Relays
held at Philadelphia, Pa., last
Saturday, the boys made a bet-
ter showing than they did a year
ago. The following men repre-
sented Milligan: Jack Caldwell,
Charles. D'agata, Don Malone,
Francis Powers, Matthew
Schwartz, Cliff Wells, Duard
Walker, Bob Elliott, Charles
Beck and Jimmy Artrip.
But then, it isn't always that the listener's to blame,
For maybe you have not expressed the thoughts you would declaim
In syllables that are distinct, or words that will convey
The meaning you intended for your audience to weigh-
Then, too, perhaps you've spoken words unwholesome or unkind.
And it isn't that the message didn't reach the other's mind,
But, rather, that he's asking you to think of what you've said,
As if it's not in keeping with the life that you have led.
Bowling
For fun and excitement, the
Milligan Bowling alleys are op-
en every night from six to eight
o'clock. Everyone is welcome
and there are good games every
evening.
If you are an expert, here is
an opportunity to prove your
skill but if you do not know how
to bowl. Bill Woodward will
show you.
A Word of Thanks
We wish to extend a word of
commendation to the Pre-Med
Club for sponsoring for Milligan
Students the recent Marriage
Clinic, The series was well
planned, and the programs very
interesting. Equipment for the
science laboratories is also be-
ing purchased by the club. The
club is to be congratulated for
the interest that it has taken in
student life here on campus.
The first of three lectures was
given by Prof. Marsh and con-
cerned the psychological aspects
of marriage. The second lec-
ture delivered by Dr. Bowman
concerned physical The third
lecture was given by Rev Wood
of the First Presbyterian Church
in Johnson City. Mr. Wood
spoke on the spiritual obliga-
tions in marriage.
All lectures were well attend-
ed and well appreciated.
One way to break a bad habit
is to drop it.
And yet. good thoughts mean little, too. if he who sets them forth.
In actions and in habits is as far as south from north
In heralding the principles he preaches day by day
As those which guide and lead him as he travels on life's way.
For actions speak more loudly to the people round about
Than all the words we whisper, breathe, ejaculate, or shout.
So those who'd be consistent must make words and actions blend.
Did you say you are a Christian? Well then. Live as one, my friend.
Prof. Warner Swaps Cars
The Warners found their fam-
ily Ford was slightly off key so
they traded 'Henry' for 'Abe,' a
slick, mile-long, hearse-like se-
dan. The Lincoln adds a bit" of
aristocracy to the Milligan
Campus. Pop Warner wants it
made known that only the car —
not the family — has gone aris-

away when passing the mirror.

The 30th annual Annie Lee

was held Tuesday evening, May
4 in the college auditorium. Mrs.
Walter Kennedy of Roanoke,
Va., a Milligan College alum-

for the past 30 years. We are
happy for Mrs. Kennedy's con-
tribution throughout these
years.
Mrs. Gentry of Johnson City
was judge for the contest. De-
lores Cooke won first prize of
$10.00 for her reading of, "The
Eve of St. Agnes." Second prize
of $5.00 went to Dorothy Hen-

Elliott presented the winners
with their gifts.
Most of the participants are
members of the college's speech

of Dr. Jennie Lorenz. Other
participants in the contest were

FINAL PLAY
Saturday evening the Milligan
Players will present their final
drama of the year. The one-aCt
play titled 'For He Had Great
Possessions' is based on the cru-
cifixion of Christ.
The leading characters a;
portrayed by Sam Smith and
Mary Lou Ritz are supported
by a cast composed of seasoned
veterans of the stage as well as
a few less experienced but tal-
ented actors. Doctor Lorenz and
the players expect to offer the
students and friends of Milli
gan an exciting drama in the
college auditorium Saturday,
May 22 at eight o'clock. Admis-
sion will be 60; students 40c.
Something New
There is never a day passes
at Milligan that something new
doesn't turn up, and guess what
happened a few days ago. The
students were surprised
when they asked for the mail
and it was handed to them by
a new lady. Yes sir the new
postmaster is here, and by the
way, if you didn't get the name
it is Mrs. Nelle Hope Taylor.
Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Beavers
who faithfully served us for
over five years have returned
to their home on the Erwin
highway. The entire Milligan
community will miss them.
Former Milligan
Professor Dies
Word has been received con-
cerning the death of S. Earl
Childers, Bible department head
at Milligan preceeding Profes-
sor James A. Burnes. Professor
Childers passed away at his
home in Santa Cruz, California.
Last Meal
The noon day meal following
the commencement exercises
Monday will be the last meal
at Milligan until the opening of
Summer school June 7.

LOOKING BACK
Towards the end of the year we can well afford to take
a backward look upon the past year and see for ourselves
the hill we have climbed. With some the ascent has been
a tough one, won only by sweat and blood, each inch
conquered after a desperate struggle with the things that
were a persistant drag upon their efforts. Others have
scaled the heights by sheer determination and fortitude.
Many haven't progressed as far as they had planned
though they have set higher goals for the coming year.
Milligan College can also afford to look back and see the
progress it has made. Dreams of membership in the South-
thern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools are
nearer fulfillment than ever before. Churches and indi-
viduals have given generous support to the much needed
endowment. They have faith in Milligan and are willing
to invest their dollars in a worthy cause that will bear
great influence upon their children and their children's
children.
The spiritual life of Milligan has reached new heights
in recent months. A Sunday seldom passes without sever-
al students taking their stand for Jesus Christ. Both the
student body and the faculty have felt the spiritual re-
vival that has swept the campus bringing to it new hope
and a stronger desire to live. Students who seldom if ever
bowed a knee spend long hours in Bible study and prayer.
Could the answer to Milligan's progress be found at the
top of a little hill south of the campus?
MOUSE OR MAN?
By the time Junior is old enough to open the doors of
higher education he should be somewhat of a man, that
is unless some anatomical and psychologic anomaly alters
his natural course producing the undesirable rodent of the
mus musculous species. As a result of nature's freakish in-
tervention the architect who designed Milligan's Ad build-
ing made an unpardonable mistake when he failed to
devise a mechanical mouse trap to capture the few pesky
creatures who invariably mouse their way into the hal-
lowed halls via the crack under the front door.
Mice of the college level are well educated in the fine
art of easing through school without mucjh mental effort on
their part. Turning in a theme is simply a matter of a
brief visit with I. M. Brilliant and presto! a counterfeit
manuscript that will pass the eyes of the most suspecting
and shrewd professor. Tests? Don't worry your pretty
heads. A few simple tricks known by any mouse and
even Professor Wide Awake passes you with honors.
College mice are also adept at using descriptive adjectives
not found in Webster, but of course this is never done in the
presence of faculty members.
We could ramble on indefinitely about lawlessness, lack
of appreciation and courtesy, etc., ad infinatum but our
purpose now is to help rehabilitate the few mice we have
and make men of them. Professor Splatz, well known
anthropologist, claims that if man can deteriorate into a
mouse, then a mouse has an equal right to evolve into a
man. For full particulars, write to Dr. Splatz in care of
the Stampede and he will mail you free of charge a ten
page pamphlet titled 'From Mouse To Man.'
CHEMIST'S ANALYSIS OF A WOMAN
Symbol: WO
Estimated Weight: One hundred and twenty pounds.
Chemical Properties: Possesses great affinity for gold, silver, and
precious stones: melts at low temperatures, but freezes at any
moment; turns green when placed beside a better-looking speci-
men; able to absorb great quantities of food matter.
Where Found: Can be found anywhere man is.
Economic Value: A great factor in the distribution of wealth;
probably the greatest income reducing agent known.
Caution: Highly explosive.
Once upon a time in a fara-
way picturesque village high in
the mountains of eastern Ten-
nessee, there dwelt the happi-
est, most carefree group of
healthy suntanned lads and las-
sies in the entire domain of
Harry Truman. Through the
fall football season, the winter
snowball season, to the extrav-
agant indulgence in the plea-
sures of a lazy springtime, these
happy people lived together, ate
ham or chicken every Sunday
together, studied together, and
played together in delightful
harmony. Not a Utopia, to be
sure, but a place that will always
hold rare memories close to the
hearts of all who may have been
there.
One has only to mention a
familiar spot or recall a joyful
experience to one of the inhab-
itants of the tiny village to see
his eyes light up as if to say,
Yes, I remember!" They would
remember that first long week
in that local educational center
where they stood around with
vague expression on their
faces as they attempted to ad-
just themselves to the newness
of college life. That first nau-
sea of homesickness struck them
as they tried to make their
dormitory room look "homey"
when its natural tendency was
to look "homely." They would
certainly remember those ex-
citing football games and the
Halloween masquerade party;
nor would they forget the
Christmas parties and that sud-
den epidemic of betrothal bells
that broke out during the
Christmas holidays. It is be-
lieved that some of the Yankees
brought the winter cold and
snow with them; nevertheless
it was evidently enjoyed. Snow-
ball fights after dark became a
fad during that siege of blizzard-
ly weather comparable to any
storms of the great North. Some
may recall with a smile the oc-
casional splurges at the Dixie or
midnight snacks at the River-
view. Members of the choir will
never forget their wonderful
tour in the spring. Neither will
they forget how far behind they
were in their work when they
returned.
Spring was beautiful. The
neatly trimmed evergreens, the
shady walks, the weeping wil-
lows, and Buffalo Creek were
looking their best for the May
Day festival with its local roy-
al court, cowboys, and gypsies.
On another happy day in May,
college was dismissed (a shock-
ing fact, but true) and the more
eager lovers of nature and sack
lunches journeyed into Old Vir-
ginny to spend the rainy day
hiking over the mountains get-
ting inspiration from the beauty
of the place and getting blisters
on their feet; some preferred
going boating on the lake and
getting blisters on their hands.
Barefoot Day" was formerly
declared on the twelfth day
of May. Many were happily
enlightened to the fact that fel-
low students had feet as ugly
as their own.
But all too soon these people
must leave their mountain par-
adise. Today they are engrossed
in final examinations and final
packing so they may return to
other homes for a 'happy ever
after."
CHOW CHATTER" ey dot dash
"Say, you have enough potatoes there to feed an army," I
said as I gazed upon what I later was informed were only 200
pounds of potatoes — all for ONE meal.' The "army" turned out
to be 260 Milliganites who actually consume that many potatoes
in one meal. Of course, I can understand where all the potatoes
go when I look at Jim Artrip's plate. Sometimes I wonder why
he doesn't pass his plate to those behind him and at least SHARE
the spuds. Maybe that's a recipe to Jim's great success on the
track field.
Just for fun I interviewed some of the cooks in our cafeteria
to see just how much we use of different food supplies at one
meal. Let's start with breakfast. Now this meal is the most
"savingest" meal of the three because there are only 180 students
who find their way to chow between 7 and 8 a. m., each morn-
ing. Personally, I really enjoy breakfast, especially when I get
there just about three minutes before 8 o'clock (Miss Conover's
time) and do not have to wait in line. Waiting only comes when
more pancakes or eggs must be whipped up. But I don't mind
that much because I can drink my fruit juice or eat my orange
awhile — and if the chow isn't ready by then, tip-toe down to the
cereal section and get the stuff to soaking in some nice milk.
And talking about milk, it is a fact that we use 15 gallons of
milk for breakfast and approximately 40 gallons in one day, not
including coffee cream.
Do we use many eggs? Oh, of course not, only 23 dozen each
morning. Only 35 loaves of bread are opened, too. And now
for lunch. Well, let's see. On Sundays (I just LIVE for Sunday
meals) it seems that 25 chickens find the ax a bit sharp to their
heads and we get the delicious meat. I don't know why chick-
ens have to have necks, hearts and wings. Why don't they have
all-white meat? Maybe Henry Evans will come out some day
with that invention. Then when we have beef. It takes about
100 pounds or six hams to see us safely through a Sunday din-
ner.
Our evening meals consist of some canned foods which empty
15 to 20 cans each meal for peas, carrots, peaches, lima beans,
kidney beans, green string beans, and all the other kinds of
beans. We use seven and a half gallons of ice cream for one
meal.
And to the people with coffee nerves — no wonder you have
them — you use up seven pounds of coffee three times a day.
Iced tea statistics? Well, we really haven't had it often enough
to observe how many pounds of tea. sugar or lemons it takes. We
may have that for you next fall.
I MAY FORGET . . .
Perhaps sometime I may forget a campus
Where we have strolled beneath the shadowed trees,
And it may be I shall not hear your footsteps
Across my heart on April nights like these.
And that' sometime your smile will be a memory,
And all the words you told me, too, shall go,
It may be in new years I shall forget you,
And never mind . . . and yet I don't think so.
For there have been so many springs and winters
Since that swift year when we walked hand in hand,
That year when any path was sweet to follow
And April brought swift beauty to our land.
For time has never dimmed your eager laughter,
It sounds forever in my waiting ears;
Nor has it blurred your eyes, your face, my dear one,
Your voice still speaks across the waiting years.
And so, I think that I must take you with me
Whatever hills life brings for me to climb,
I am so sure that as the days go onward
Now and again that there will be a time
When starlight softs across a sleeping campus,
And dreams parade as dreams will always do.
That I shall stroll an old, forsaken byway,
To find the paths I used to take with you.

THE STAMPEDE
PAGE THREE
James C. Coggins, Educator And
Writer Credits His Success To
Milligan, His Alma Mater
By CLAUDE CALAWAY
From farm boy and sawmill
hand to preacher, educator, phi-
losopher and internationally-
known author is the fascinating
story of James Caswell Coggins,
A. M.. S. T. D., Ph. D., LL. D.,
and one of Milligan's disting-
uished sons.
He was born March 3, 1865 on
a farm near Asheville, North
Carolina. His ancestors were
from Scotland, where some of
them were identified with the
University of Edinburgh. They
came to America, landing on the
eastern shore of North Caro-
lina. Then they moved west-
ward and settled in Burke coun-
ty of that state. Several men of
the Coggins family participated
in the Revolutionary War.
Desire To Educate Self
As young James grew up in
a pioneer community, in early
life he was introduced to hard
work. He developed strong mus-
cles by working long hours at
a saw mill in the vast timber-
lands of Western North Caro-
lina. Falling victim to the
thirst for knowledge, he can-
vassed the neighborhood for
books, by which he might culti-
vate his life. Finally, he lo-
cated a copy of Griffith's Ora-
tory, and after one year of ardu-
ous study he mastered, with-
out a teacher, the principles of
this textbook. He tells with a
chuckle, how, for a whole year,
he would go early every morn-
ing to a cold pond in a laurel
thicket and take a cold bath,
as IJhe book instructed^ then
practice his breathing exercises
as outlined in the text.
Plans For College
James' father was crippled
and with the additional respon-
sibility of a large family, young
Coggins did not have too much
hope of ever getting to college.
But after two years of labor at
the sawmill, he revealed his
plans to the family to enter the
then infant institution of Milli
gan College- It took the actual
shedding of tears to convince his
father that James should have
an education.
A Different Milligan
The Milligan College to which
twenty- three-year- old J a m e
Coswell Coggins came in 1888
was somewhat different from
that of today. The only build-
ings on the campus then were
the old Barker Academy, on the
site of the present administra-
tion building, one house for
boarding students. President
Hopwood's home, which served
also as a girls' dormitory, and
the postoffice and general store
combined. The postoffice today
is in the same building.
The campus was marked by
splii-rail 'goose" fences, and the
walks were mere trails over the
hill. The grounds were punctu-
ated with numerous mud pud-
dles. The unauthorized hazing
of that day consisted mainly of
fist fights and mudhole dippings
of all freshman boys. Thus, a
young man's ability to remain
in school depended largely up-
on his physical precedence.
Fiist Oratorical Pursuits
In those days the ministerial
students had a debating club,
and Dr. Coggins relates, with a
1 bit of pride, his debates with
three of Milligan's outstanding
alumni: William H. Book, na-
tionally -known evangelist;
George P. Rutledge, preacher,
for several years editor of the
Christian Standard, and renown-
ed author of religious books;
and B. A. Abbott, successful
evangelist, distinguished jour-
nalist, and one-time editor of
the Christian Evagenlist, Mr.
Coggins tells an interesting in-
cident of W. H. Book's chal-
lenge for a debate, dealing with
the soul's existence and dwell-
ing place after death. The pro-
position was: Resolved that
"The soul does not go to heav-
en until the resurrection of the
body." Young Coggins prefer-
red the negative. The debate
was scheduled in just one
month, to be held in the college
auditorium. Every day, for that
month, Coggings walked one
mile from the campus to the
deep woods on Dry Creek. Here,
in the seclusion of the forest,
he rehearsed his speech, train-
ing his voice and polishing his
phrases. Just as Henry Clay
practiced his political orations
to the mules, James C. Coggins
declaimed to the trees and wild'
life. Then, finally the debate
came. The auditorium was filled
to overflowing and members of
the faculty were seated on the
platform with the debaters. Cog-
gins spoke first and for thirty
minutes poured forth the elocu
tion that had been perfected in
the forest on Dry Creek. After
the discussion, President Hop-
wood decided in favor of Cog'
gins. Today Dr. Coggins looks
back upon this incident as the
deciding factor in his commit'
ting himself to the ministry of
the gospel.
Student Preacher
As a freshman at Milligan, he
preached his first sermon to an
eager schoolhouse audience at
Beech Grove, up Buffalo Creek
one mile from the college cam-
pus. For the next two years he
preached at Oak Grove and Pat-
ton's Chapel. The meager sal-
ary received from these two
churches provided payment for
his expenses at Milligan Col-
lege.
In his junior year he mar-
ried Miss Julia Crouch of
Boones Creek, and to this union
was born one child. He left Mil-
ligan upon completion of the
third year of study and began
his career as a school teacher at
Old Fort, North Carolina. He
was for some time principal of
the Black Mountain High School.
Then came the death of his first
wife. From North Carolina he
was called as a minister to a
number of churches in Missouri,
Kansas, and Illinois. Upon his
arrival in St. Louis he met
President James A. Garfield's
sister-in-law, Miss Rockwell.
With her he attended a two-
hour concert by Gilmore's Band,
composed of fifty-two master
musicians of the world, and
'everyone baldheaded," Dr. Cog-
gins relates with a smile. This
was the first real music he had
heard in his life, and represent-
ed quite a contrast to that of
the calls of crows and animals in
his native hills. He says that
Gilmore's Band gave him a fore-
taste of the heavenly music of
the angels, once we have joined
the throng of the redeemed.
School is drawing to a close
and I have an idea that more
than one person will feel the
pangs of homesickness for Mil-
ligan as well as for that Certain
Someone.
Ruth O'Neal seems definitely
attracted to the Yankees, but we
can't decide whether it's Beck
or Kinsey who has first place
with her.
Now we know that Frank
Motley's reason for seemingly
being a woman hater is that cute
little girl back home.
Joe Hagen, who used to get
into our column quite frequent-
ly, is engaged to a five-foot two,
blond bit of feminity. Congrat-
ulations Joe!
Mrs. Stollar, back on the
campus for a brief visit, was
asked about her love life. She
said the only man she had been
interested in since her depar-
ture from Milligan gave her a
bottle of perfume entitled 'Es-
cape' and she hasn't seen him
since.
Fred Marshall tells us that he
wouldn't mind it at all if he
were to become ill. Could this
be due to bis personal interest
in a nurse over at State?
Inquiring Reporter: "Harry
(Shatley, that is), who was that
lady you were with last night?"
Harry: "That was no lady
that was my wife."
Harry's little neice says his
wife's hair is orange (cause
Harry says its a lush shade of
red.)
Grace Lang who loves the
name Bill has been seen spend-
ing her leisure hours with her
third, a lucky chap whose last
name is Davidson.
Janie and Allene certainly do
believe in 'Dales'.
Ralph is certainly 'Perking
up' since he started dating Caro-
lyn.
Dot thinks that Pat Quillen is
the 'cutest thing' (P. S. — so do
■we). Speaking of Dot, she came
in the other night with a gen-
eral announcement that she had
a date with someone but she
couldn't remember who.
On Baron Down's program we
heard Jim Speropolas' request
Til always Be In Love With
You' just for Mattie. That sort
of narrows the field.
Bill Woodward took little
Betty Seaton from Johnson City
on the spring outing. She's cute,
Bill.
With, that we'll say solong and
see you next year . . .
•Lab Blab"
Sing a song of sulfide
A beaker full of lime
Four and twenty test tubes

When the top is lifted
And the fumes begin to reek
Isn't that an awful mess
To have three times a week?
From St. Louis he went to
DeWitt, Missouri, where he was
song evangelist and later preach-
er to Norborne, Missouri and
then to Ottawa, Kansas. At the
church there he had one hun-
dred and twenty additions in
one year. At Ottawa he married
Miss Pearl Washburne, and to
them were born three children.
He lectured at the First Christ-
ian Church of Pittsburgh, Kan-
sas, was offered the pastorate,
but declined. At that time the
minister of the church there
was the later famous novelist
Harold Beli Wright.
From his preaching in Christ-
ian churches in Kansas and
Missouri, Coggins went to the
divinity school of Chicago Uni-
versity. He soon returned to his
Alma Mater, Milligan College,
to finish his work for the A. B.
degree, graduating in the class
of 1894. He and Dr. H. R. Gar-

I think that I shall never see
A girl as glamorous as me
A girl with sparkling blue

The color of the summer skies
I know a lot of girls it's true
And some of them are pretty,

But none of them can quite
compare
With me — for I'm so fair.

SOCIETY
NOTES
The sofa sagged in the center,
The shades were pulled just so;
The family had retired,
The parlor lights burned low.
There came a sound from the
sofa
As the clock was striking two,
And the student slammed his
textbook
With a thankful, "Well I'm
through."
Charles Daniels of Washing-
ton, D. G, and Miss Gerina
Christian of Church Hill, Ten-
nessee, former Milligan stu-
dents, visited friends at Milli-
gan last Wednesday evening.
Phil Hutchinson has been
missed from classes and campus
activities during his recent ill-
ness and confinement in the
Johnson City hospital.
Ralph McLean, who has been
serving as youth leader in the
campus church and receiving
advanced training at Milligan
the past school year, recently
met with the board of elders of
Broadway Christian Church in
Lexington, Kentucky, for an
interview regarding his accept-
ance to the position of Youth
Worker in the Broadway church
next year.
"Fishpond Pete" has been
making frequent appearances
also.
The Music Department of
Milligan College under the di-
rection of Mr. and Mrs. Warner
presents Misses Grace L. Lang
and Nancy Tipton, sopranos, in
a concert of familiar serenades,
lullabys, love songs, and songs
of a sacred nature each Sun-
day afternoon at 4:30 over
WJHL during the month of
May.
I ate a little hot dog
I rolled my eyes above
I ate a half a dozen more
And died of puppy love.
Slippery ice very thin
Pretty girl — tumbled in.

Now he's her's — very nice;
But she had — to break the ice.
C. E. Holds
Candlelight Service
The last meeting for the C. E.
held Sunday evening centered
around Christ as the Light of the
world. A picture of Sollman's
"Head of Christ" was illustrated
before candles placed on a table
in front of the meeting room.
The meeting was led by John
Hasty. Homer Richardson and
Delores Cook read Scripture
passagee on Christ as the light
of the world, an dthe light of
the Christ and life. Claude Cal-
laway gave the evening prayer.

When you have labored day by day through four long years or
more
And come at last to see the end at graduation's door;
With work all in and grades complete and nothing more to do.
Why do they say "Commencement Week" is now in store for you?
Is given you for what you've done — the things you did achieve;
The courses that you've mastered and the knowledge you have
gained;
The credit hours you have earned, the facts you have retained.
And so it seems absurd to say "Commencement time is here
For all you Senior boys and girls who've 'made the grade' this
year."
It really should spell "Finis" for you've reached the goal at last
And now are free from studying — that is, if you have passed.
No more will lights be burning till the coming of the dawn
■For you who labored faithfully — for you those days are gone.
At last you've won the honors which you've sought within these
walls
By gleaning education from these busy college halls,
Well, we'll admit that graduation marks the end of school,
And as reward for work well done implies you are no fool;
But ah, the life that you begin as from the stage you walk
Presents a challenge year by year at which you cannot balk.
For graduation simply means you've reached a stepping stone
Which leads to high adventure such as you haye never known.
And on the great expanse of life, though sailing near or far,
Your ship must weather all the storms, till you have crossed the
bar.
And as you sail from day to day o'er life's "unresting sea,"
You'll come to know more fully "What this college means to
me."
For if there's hope in all the world for peace from worldly strife
It's going to come from those who have been trained to cope with
life
In terms of Christian character that's strengthened day by day
By supplementing all with education in "the Way."
May you who start life's journey from the doors of Milligan
Commence it as a Christian lady — as a Christian man.

Sport Shorts
ed Mcdonald
By ed Mcdonald
Well folks this is the last time
this year that I shall endeavor to
give you a short panorama view
of the sports activities at Milli-
gan. It's been great writing or
rather grinding out this column.
It has sort of become a part of
me! Periodically during the
summer, I know that I shall
hunt up a typewriter and start
to write Sport Shorts until I
catch myself and realize that
school isn't going on and that it
isn't time for this column.
Let's look back a bit and recall
a few things that happened here
at Milligan in the field of sports.
First came football. We had
hardly gotten settled here at
school when the whistle blew
for the first game of the sea-
ton against Southeastern Louis-
iana. From that thrilling game
until the last one against Ap-
palachian, our football team
gave an excellent account of it-
self in each game. Some times
we won by a big score, or some-
times we won a thriller, or
sometimes we were beaten by a
few points, but still our team
bad that fighting spirit. Bill
Allen gave an excellent account
of himself on the field as our
captain.
While football was in full
swing, the girls were having
several intramural tournaments.
They had ping-pong, volley ball,
and tennis tournaments, which
were well participated in
throughout. The fellows also had
an intramural tennis tourna-
ment just after school began.
The spirit ran high and each
contest was played to the bitter
end.
Next came basketball with
Carl Shepherd leading the fel-
lows on to a victorious season.
Our captain played a nice,
smooth type of ball all year and
his never-give-up spirit was a
constant source of inspiration,
not only to the players them-
selves but to the fans as welL
Our basketball team played a
very tiring schedule of around
40 games. We were the first
team in the nation to score over
2000 points and Kenny Hifier
scored over 500 points to be one
of the leading scorers in the
nation. We came home with the
Smoky Mountain Conference
Championship, with everyone
feeling that our boys had done
an almost herculean task by
playing as many games as we
had and still having enough at
the finish to win the Smoky
tournament. Coach Yancey, in
his first year as Buff mentor, did
a marvelous job of wielding the
boys together and teaching them
his system in both football and
basketball!
Coach Sid Rice has kept his
enviable record intact by see-
ing his thin-clads win every-
one of their meets this year.
They duplicated this feat last
year as well. Two years with-
out a defeat on the track! Sure-
ly that is a record of which we
all can be proud. We again
waltzed off with the Milligan
irelays and we were ,all the
happy recipients of the beauti-
ful French bronze trophy given
by Dr. Ray Walker. Bob Elliott
and Jimmy Artrip have con-
sistently led the team in the
number of blue ribbons garner-
ed.
In tennis Meek Robinette and
Captain Roland McCurry have

M Club
Personalities
Maurice Love — Maurice, a
Sophomore hails from Erwin.
He lettered in football last sea-
son and is majoring in physical
education.
Lynn Goddaxd — Lynn, a Soph-
omore is from Elizabethton. He
has lettered in football for the
past two seasons and in track
this season. He is a major in
business administration.
John Keffer — John a Sopho-
more from Irwin, Perm., letter-
ed as basketball manager this
last season. He is majoring in
business administration.
John Manning — John, another
Elizabethton athlete is a Sopho-
more. He has lettered in base-
ball for the_ past two seasons
and in football last fall. He
is majoring in physical educa-
tion.
played an outstanding game all
year. When both of them team-
ed up together in the doubles,
they were practically unbeat-
able. The record of the whole
team has been very outstand-
ing. We captured the Smoky
Mountain Championship in ten-
nis also. Hard work and a de-
termination to win really spell-
ed success on the tennis courts
for the Buffs.
Likewise in baseball. Anoth-
er Smoky Mountain Champion-
ship was won by the Milliga-
nites. Coach Frank Spraker had
a lot of material to work with
but most of it was of the un-
polished variety. He really did
a fine job in whipping the boys
into shape and in getting the
best brand of ball out of them.
Truly it can be said that
everyone in Milligan College has
a right to be proud of our boys
who played on the Buf athletic
teams during the season. The
spirit was contagious and as one
can hardly see it carried over
from one sport to another.
Well nuf said! I've enjoyed
it folks and hope that you have
too. We'll be seeing you — (the
"we" refers to myself and the
typewriter).
COGGINS
(Continued from page Three)
rett, one-time president of Mil-
ligan and now professor at
Johnson Bible College, are the
only surviving graduates of the.
class of '94. He next matricula-
ted with Grant Memorial Uni-
versity of Athens, Tennessee,
(now the University of Chatta-
nooga), and for three years
worked, toward his masters de-
gree. For a time he was preach-
er at a church in Decatur, Il-
linois.
Founded Atlantic
Christian College
In 1901, Dr. Coggins, feeling
he owed a debt of gratitude to
his native state, ot North Caro-
lina, purposed to return and
build a school for his own peo-
ple. So, the Fifty-seventh North
Carolina Christian Missionary
Convention met at Kinston, N.
C, October 30th to November
2, 1901, and decided upon a
Christian Church school for that
region. Under the leadership of
Dr. Coggins the institution
known "at Atlantic Christian
College was established and
named. He modeled the first
degree awarded by that insti-
tution. It was he who confer-
red upon Josephus Hopwood,
father and first president of
Milligan, the degree of Doctor
of Laws, and the same degree
to George P. Rutledge, author
of The Miracle of the Ages,
Pushing the World Along and
other books. While president of
Atlantic Christian, Bethany Col-
lege in West Virginia conferred
upon Dr. Coggins the honorary
LL.D. degree.
Word Renowned Writer
After two years of construc-
tive leadership at the helm of
Atlantic Christian College, Wil-
son, North Carolina, he return-
ed to Black Mountain in the
western part of the state and
founded Holman Christian Uni-
versity, which had a four-year
existence, then closed its doors
because of a lack of financial
support. All these years he had
been writing, but upon the clos-
ing of Holman Christian Uni-
versity, he began to devote most
of his time to literary pursuits.
He titled his first effort The
Star-Crowned Woman, which
become a religious classic. Then
came A New Philosophy of Life,
which was a thesis for the Ph.D
degree at the American Univer-
sity, Harriman, Tennessee, now
extinct. He then published
Christ's Place in the Old Testa-
ment, or Voices of Hebrew
Prophets, a treatise which earn-
ed for him the degree of Doc-
tor of Sacred Theology at
American University. Turning
next to the subject of history,
he wrote Abraham Lincoln, a
North Carolinian, and The Eu-
genics of Abraham Lincoln. The
Thrones of the Apostles came
next as a treatment of the doc-
trines of apostolic Christianity,
and is a work widely acclaimed
in religious circles. An outstand-
ing book is The Origin and
Growth of Mentality or the Soul,
a philosophical approach rep-
resenting research done for the
University of Paris. It is now be-
ing translated into the French
language. This book has been
widely acclaimed among out-
standing psychologists and phi-
losophers of the world. The
author has received a letter
from the president of L'Univer-
site de Paris, stating his ac-
ceptance of the work. Dr. Cog-
gins expects to go to Paris this
summer to present his thesis
and complete the necessary re-
quirements for the degree from
the University of Paris.
Active At 83
Genial James C. Coggins is
now eighty-three, and the fath-
er of eleven children, seven by
his third wife, who is the. for-
mer Miss Kate DeVore, of
Greenwood, South Carolina. All
the children are living except
one, James C, Jr., who was
killed in action in Italy during
World War EL
An octogenerian, Dr. Coggins
impresses one as being many
years younger. There remains
a fresh, youthful gleam in his
still bright eyes. He is ambitious,
and filled with the enthusiasm
of earlier days and quick and
decisive in his movements. Now
residing in Elizabethton, he
takes time out from his writing
to tend to some goats, a flock of
chickens, several swarms of
bees, and a small orchard. Still
active as a preacher, he is much
in demand to speak in churches
of this territory. He serves the
Christian Church at Lonoke,
near Johnson City, and two
other country congregations in
the vicinity of Asheville, North
Carolina.
Milligan Take 3
Out Of 4 Smoky
Mtn. Tournaments
The Milligan athletic teams
have had an unsually success-
ful season. Coach Red Yancey
took his basketball boys to the
winning circle of the Smoky
Mt. Conference. After that came
Coach Frank Spraker's baseball
team and another Smoky Mt.
championship. During the same
season Coach 'Doc' Thompson's
netters took the Smoky tennis
championship.
Coach Sid Rice's cinder boys
ended the season with a perfect
record of five wins out of five
meets. The track team hasn't
lost a meet in three years.

The Milligan College Track
team ended the season with the
usual good record with no loses
for the complete season. The
new motto is "We have met the
enemy and they are ours," and
that just fits the champions of
the cinders. Our toughest com-
petition this year was with State
College which kept coming back
until they were beaten the third
time. This is just the beginning
of the track at Milligan for
there will be some tough com-
petition lined up for next year.
And the tougher the competi-
tion means a more exciting
track meet.
McCurry And Robinette
Figure In Tennis
Captain Roland McCurry and
Meek Robinette attended the
U. S. A. C. tournament at L.
M. U. and they also attended the
state tourney at S?wanee with
Coach 'Doc' Thompson. N"mber

an exceptionally good record

with the University of Tennes-

After his return from Paris
this summer, he plans a lecture
tour of this country, that is 'if
he lives that long," comments
his wife. And with the youth-
ful appearance of James Cas-
well Coggins, we believe that
he will live much longer than

Editing the STAMPEDE has not been easy, but it
has been fun. There has never been a dull mement from
the first "lead" until the paper comes off of the press.
It takes a lot of initiative, imagination, and co-operation
along with plenty of good hard work in order to make
the STAMPEDE a credit to the staff and to the school.
We wish to thank everyone who has contributed to
the success of the paper in any way. We wish especially
to thank our faculty advisor, Miss Hale, Miss Marie Smith,
Mr. Oakes, Dean Sahli, and Mr. Lewis.

tainly more happy.
SAFETY
Roger: "Do you ever wear
two-pants suits?"
Wilbur: "No, they're too hot."
Monday afternoon six young people lost their lives in
a tragic accident, going home from school. It happened to be
students from State, but it could have easily been Milligan
students. We are all looking forward to going home within a
few days but we should remember that there will be many
people who will be just as anxious as we are to see their homes
and families. Many of us will fie driving. Let us remember to
be careful. It is so easy to step on the gas when we are in
a hurry, when we are happy it is easily possible to go faster
than one realizes but what tradedy can be the answer to a
careless glance or just an extra push on the accelerator. An
hour or two extra on the road no matter how anxious we are
to arrive home may mean the difference between a glaring
tragedy in the headlines of the newspaper or a broacast over the
radio and a glad welcome home because we didn't rush too fast.
Let us make this a safe semester close.
Irene: "Men are all alike."
Ruby: "Men are all I like,
too."
Customer: "Do you have no-
tions on this floor?"
Dolores: "Yes, but we sup-
press them during working
hours."
Lady. "Should I marry a man
who lied to me?"
Man: "Lady, do you want to
be an old maid?"
CHRISTIAN COURTESY
The dictionary defines courtesy as politeness. Jesus went
a bit farther in defining the term when he said, "As ye would
that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise."
Lack of courtesy in the life of a Chrisitan brings reproach
to Christ. Rudeness and vulgarity certainly do not bring honor
to the one whose name we wear. If we love Christ we will
strive to be like Him and to manifest His presence in ourselves.
Our lives show whether we are true Christians, for we become
like those we love and admire, and by our actions we should
show that we belong to Christ.
To be courteous we must be humble. Although courtesy may
cost a great deal in humility, it pays big dividends in Christian
development. A humble Christian will be courteous at all times.
Jesus is our example of courteous living, for when reviled
he reviled not again. Even under persecution from his enemies
he remained courteous. In Matthew 5:42, he taught that we
should "give to him that asketh of thee, and from him that would
borrow of thee turn not thou away." This is another one of the
aspects of Christian courtesy. We are told in 2 Tim. 2:24 that
"the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all
men." Also we are told to be "an example of the believers, in
word, in conversation, in charity, in sprit, in faith, in purity."
{I Tim. 4:12) All of these things are included when we think
of courtesy.
In one of Emmerson's poems he says, "Life is not so short
but that there is always time for courtesy." Let us on the Milli-
gan campus remember this, and in every way show our Christian
character by being courteous.
"I would. like to see the judge,
please."
"Sorry sir, but he is at dinner."
"But this is important."
"Can't be helped, sir. His honor
is at steak."

along with the other clubs, has
already been thinking of next
year. They have elected new
ofifcers who are: President,
Marshall Leggett; Vice Presi-
dent, Bill Rodifer; Secertary,
Shirley DeArmond; and Treas-
urer, Virginia Snyder. Miss
Welshimer was reelected spon-
sor. Also looking ahead they
have selected the leaders of the
Gospel teams for the coming
year in order that they can or-
ganize and start work immedi-
ately upon returning to school.
They plan to send out Gospel
teams on a much larger scale
in the future.
Stundent Council News
In a recent election, four
members of the Junior class
were elected to represent the
Seniors in next year's Student
Council. They are Janet Cat-
lett, Mary Frances Elliott, Fred
Wallenfelsz, and Ken Robertson.
In a chapel program-planned for
this Thursday, the retiring Sen-
ior members of the Council will
formally give up their posts.
The Student Council has been
very active during the 1948-49
school year. Its most recent ac-
tivities has been the sponsoring
of "open houses" in the boys'
and girls' dormitories. The girls
of the Council sponsored a rum-
mage sale in Elizabethton last
Saturday. The money from the
sale will be used to refurnish
the parlors in Hardin Hall.
Louis Robinson is President
of the Student Council.

FOUR MILLIGAN FACULTY
MEMBERS ATTEND
DINNER MEET AT EMORY
(Continued from Page One)
a well prepared paper dealing
with the problems, preparation,
and applicability of counselling
in the small college.
The meeting was attended by
the entire Emory and Henry
faculty and four delegates from
each of the following colleges:
King, Virginia Intermont, Sul-
lins, Tuscujum, Milligan, Mar-
ion, and East Tennessee State
Coljege.
Ed — Give me that axe, I'll fix
you.
Ned — Don't get a head of
yourself.
"He is a tried friend."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, I tried to borrow a five
from him."
We wouldn't want to be
starting any rumors but it seems
as though Shirley DeArmond
and Dale Campbell have been
seen in front of Hardin a lot
lately.
Example may be better than
precept but they certainly work
veil together.

SENIOR PORTRAITS
WILLIAM HARLEN MORTON
First on the agenda today is William Harlen Morton, from
Whitesburg, Kentucky. Getting off to a good start as valendic-
torian of his high school graduating class, he migrated to Mil-
ligan, where he is now the esteemed president of the Senior
class and hardworking editor of the annual. He's an avid fan of
all sports, and collects records of popular music on the side.
With an English major and social science and education minors,
he's undecided as to what he'll do after graduation, but it'll
probably be teaching. The only other thing he seems uncertain
about is why people call him Harlen instead of Bill.
DAVID BYRON NICKELS
David Byron Nickels, the quiet, unassuming Senior some-
times known as "Nick," (we can't imagine where he got that
nickname), is from Norton, Virginia. . He says fishing is his
hobby, and he would make a good fisherman, too, because he
doesn't say much. In fact, when he was being interviewed, get-
ting him to talk about himself was about as easy as squeezing
that last bit out of a toothpaste tube. Business being his major,
he has belonged to the Business Club, and also was elected as one
of the attendants in the May Court this year. His after-gradua-
tion plans are undisclosed.
MARTHA NOBLITT
Little Miss Martha Noblitt, elected Milligan's most studious
girl for the last two years, somehow finds time for numerous
other endeavors. In her four years here, she has been in the
W. W. A., Christian Service Club, Choir, Pre-Med Club, presi-
dent of the Girls' Council and on the Student Council. Besides
that, she has been a student assistant in Botany and Zoology
labs for three years. Small wonder she was chosen to "Who's
Who In American Crlleges and Universities" for two years. Her
hobby is hiking, she says she's always been "disgustingly healthy,"
and she's all set to teach biology at Holston Valley High school
next year.
PAUL LESLIE SHURGOTT
Paul Leslie Shurgott, from M-onogahela, Pennsylvania, (can
YOU pronouce it? — we can't!), went to Phillips University at
Enid, Oklahoma his first year of college. He's traveled, hasn't
he? Maybe that could have something to do with his hobby
of tinkering with automobiles. He came very near not being
with us now, for about nine years ago he narrowly escaped
drowning — a little-known fact about his past. Here at Milligan
he's belonged to the Chrisitan Service Club, Christian Endeavor,
and Ministerial Association, which leads up to his being a re-
ligion major. Next year he plans to go to Butler for graduate
work.
JOSEPH ROBERT CHAIN
Joseph Robert Crain, from Erwin, Tennessee, is the Most
Popular Boy. on this hyar campus, according to student vote.
After five years in the Army, (he played football four of them),
he came to Milligan as a Physical Education major and has been
on the track and football teams, a member of the Phys. Ed. and
M Clubs. Joe's minor is religion, and he is president of the
Christian Service Club and travels with the Gospel Teams. You
can almost tell from his tan that one thing he loves is lying in
the sun. When asked about his future plans, he says "I'll coach,
I guess."
NITA MATSON MILAM
Demure and easy-going Nita Matson Milam is from Kings-
port. Like Joe, her tan shows she likes to take sunbaths and
play tennis, although she made it very clear she doesn't play
well at all. (These modest people!) Another thing that a
sparkler on her third finger, left hand, makes clear, is that
she is an old married woman, as of last August. She was chosen
as one of the Senior attendants for the May Court this year, too.
She did practice teaching at Happy Valley High School, and
though her major is in Psychology, she is working toward a
teacher's certificate in English, and will teach next year.

CHAPEL CHIMES
"Seeds of Kindness"
If you have a friend worth lov-
ing,
Love him. Yes, and let him
know v
That you love him, ere life's
evening
Tinge his brow with sunest
glow.
Why should good words ne'er be
said
Of a friend — till he is dead?
If you hear a song that thrills
you,
Sung by any child of song,
Praise it. Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long,
Why should one who thrills
your heart
Lack the joy you may impart?
If you hear a prayer that moves
you
By its humble, pleading tone,
Join it. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Shy should not your brother
share
The strength of "two or three"
in prayer?
If you see the hot tears falling
From a brother's weeping eyes
Share them. And by kindly
sharing,
Own your kindship in the
skies.
Why should anyone be glad
When another's heart is sad?
If a silvery laugh goes rippling
Through the sunshine on his
face,
Share it. "Tis the wise man's
saying—
For both grief and joy a place.
There's health and goodness in
the mirth
In which an honest laugh has
birth.
If your work is made more easy
By a friendly, helping hand,
Say so. Speak out brave and
truly
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should a fellow worker near
Falter for a word of cheer?
Scatter thus your seeds of kind-
ness
All enriching as you go —
Leave them. Trust the Harvest-
giver;
He will make each seed to
grow.
So until the happy end,
Your life shall never lack a
friend.

TRACK NEWS
Milligan has a fair track team
this year, they are ambitious
and are trying very hard to do
their best. The men realize that
conditions aren't at their best
but they have confidence in that
they believe that the officials
of the school will back them in
getting things into shape for
future meets. With proper back-
ing and support, Milligan should
be in shape to put a team on the
field in which the school can be
proud of. It is with this hope in
mind that Coach George Brown
is struggling to produce a win-
ning team.
A bore is the kind of a man
who, when you ask how he is,
tells you.
What's wrong with the phone
in Pardee? Fizzby and Sublett

STAMPEDE SPORTS
BUFFS DEFEAT
EAGLES BY
SCORE OF 7-3
The MUligan College Buffalo-
es defeated Carson Newman
Eagles 7-3 on the Milligan
diamond.
The Buffs collected eight hits
to drive in seven runs while the
Eagles were collecting 10 hits
but only putting three runs
across the plate.
Lefty Bowers played an out-
standing game of ball for the
Buffs and also collected three
hits in his three trips to . the
plate.
The thrilling part of the game
was when Bently drove a three
bagger deep into centerfield and
Sam Pridon stepped to the plate
and drove one still deeper into
centerfield which landed in the
creek for a home run. Sam also
picked a double which gave him
two hits in his three trips to the
plate. Laughlin also helped in
the scoring by driving a three
base hit deep into the outfield.
The winning pitcher was
Boardwine and the loosing pit-
cher Bean.

The Inquiring
Reporter Asks:
"How do you feel about the
Seniors being exempted from
their last semester's exams?"
JANET CATLETT — I can
hardly wait 'til I'm a Senior!
LOUIS ROBINSON— I think
everbody should be exempted
from all of them.
JOAN NEWTON— I certainly
think they should be.
MARY JANE LARISON— I
think it's the most wonderful
idea I've heard of! I wish they'd
include faculty members.
WILLIE JOHNSON— I think
it's a good idea, 'cause they de-
serve it. They worked hard
enough the first 3 years.
MARION ELLIOTT— I guess
they should.
KERMIT HALL— I think that
is just a small, privilege out of
the many privileges they should
have. They have done the work,
let them reap the benefits.

CONCERTS AND
LECTURES TO BE
GIVEN NEXT YEAR
The committee on lectures
and Concerts for the school year
1949-50 has announced a very
interesting series of concerts to
be given during the early part
of the second semester. The
committee is composed of Miss
Jones, chairman; Mrs. Warner,
Miss Welshimer ,and Dr. Lorenz.
First in the series of concerts
will be Joseph B. Phillips, one
of the ablest and most exper-
ienced of the younger American
foreign news editors and news
analysts. He has had the ad-
vantage of having served both
as ace foreign correspondent
and as the editorial director of
more than a score of Correspon-
ents in key news centers around
the world.
During the war, Joseph B.
Phillips served as a colonel on
General Eisenhower's staff, and
was General Eisenhower's Chief
Public Relations Officer in

FORGOTTEN TOMBS
(This is the third and concluding section of an article by-
Claude Callaway. The preceeding installments have told of the
noble life of Jesse Houck, a student at Milligan in the early days
of her history.)
THE TRAGEDY OF HOUCK'S SENIOR YEAR
Jesse took a traveling agency for a book concern, and earned
a covetous record as a salesman. In September, 1890, he made
a glad home-coming to his alma mater, and set his room in order
for the senior year of his college career. But somewhere down
in Middle Tennessee, Jesse had contracted typhoid germs, and
by the time he had settled down at school, the microbes had
begun their devastating operation. The patient's brother, Martin
Houck, now of Maben, West Virginia, came down from North
Carolina to minister to Jesse's needs, during his fight for re-
covery. Martin, also, (was stricken with the pestilence and had
to go home. He borrowed the mail-carrier mule and rode to
Mountain City. 'From there he took a buggy to within a few
miles' of West Jefferson, and there at the home of relatives, won
his battle against the attack of fever.
But all the time, his brother at Milligan was losing ground
in his struggle for life. Then, one day, his indomitable fortitute
broke beneath the scourge, and on September 24, 1890, the
splendid dreams of an aspiring student were reduced to naught.
Sarah Eleanor Hopwood, wife of Milligan's illustrious found-
er President, took up her tablet and pencilled an appropriate
obituary:
"Six years ago a friend and brother, J. C. Idol, of North
Carolina came to build our house. He brought a young man
with him who was a faithful learner at the carpenter's bench.
But the sight of school and the association of students soon won
the heart of Jesse F. Houck, and he resolved to educate himself.
The following year he entered school and almost from the first_
determined to take a thorough course. Though poor and un-
known, he never once faltered, or lost faith in himself, or in
the final success of his plans. He inspired confidence in all
who knew him. The simplicity of his manners and the genial
frankness of his disposition made him the special favorite with
the younger students who were never happier than when in his
company, either in the room, on the porches or taking a long
Sunday evening walk.
He had spent four years and a half in faithful school work,
and one more year was to witness the completion of his school
course. His vacations were simply a change of labor. Through
the session his chief employment was study — his odd moments
being devoted to necessary bits of work here and there. Through
the summer his chief employment was with his tools; odd times
being given to study. Thus his recreation only meant change
of employment.
He had taught one very successful school and this determined
his plan for life work. Seeing the great need for the civilizing
and refining influence of Chrisian institutions of learning, he
resolved to give every effort toward founding such a one among
his own mountain people. This grew to be the purpose of his
life, and to this end he bent every energy and ordered every
movement. For the purpose of gaining some new experience by
mingling with people over different sections of country, and in
different relations, he consented this summer to take a traveling
agency. He was successful in this and gave perfect satisfaction
to his employers; but followed it with such real and self-forget-
fulness that he fell sick in the midst of his work. He had con-
tracted fever and traveled many miles while sick in order to
reach home. There in his old study room, surrounded by pictures
and little brackets — the work of his own hands he endured with
cheerful patience the continued attacks of the destroyer. He was
cheerful and hopeful to the last. He did not believe he would
die, but expressed himself as perfectly resigned to the Master's
will. • ,
His life was marked by gentleness and courtesy, and a high
Christian demeanor. Through a long sickness these qualities
shone all the brighter. Vistors, even the most transient, were
greeted and their welfare kindly inquired after, while even the
cup of cold water was received with a pleasant "Thank you'" so
familiar to those who knew him.
Our hopes for his recovery had grown fainter for days, and
suddenly on Wednesday, September 24th, he became unable to
answer our eager inquires. His spirit had been called to a higher
life. Gazing into space as if new glories were multiplying upon
his sight, and with feautres half wreathed in smiles, he passed
beyond.
That beautiful Christian life will ever be a source of in-
spiration to his classmates and fellow students, while the pre-
cious legacy of a Christian's hope is the inheritance of relatives
and friends who mourn his loss."
And so goes the chronicle behind one of the undetermined
graves rearward of Cheek Activity Building. Jesse Franklin
Houck's place of rest may be one which bears not even the
scantest marker; it could be one with a crude fieldstone dt head
and foot; one beneath a cluster of bushes in the corner of the
lot. It may even be one more honorably situated alongside a tomb
elegantly set apart in granite or marble. Perhaps no one will
ever know. But somehow it seems that the story of Jesse Houck
is representative of others who repose there in vaults of oblivion
Those who would have helped to shape the world into a
better place are now possessed by the stillness of forgotten tombs.

FRIENDLINESS
Two years ago I enrolled at Milligan College. On reg-
istration day I was swamped with strange faces, but not
unfriendly faces. Everyone smiled and spoke and few
formal introductions were made. We were bound together
by the confusion and difficulties of our schedules. We
stood all day in lines together and by the end of the day
you "knew" everyone on campus.
This September I enrolled again as an upper-classman.
Few old faces were back. Again I scood in lines all day
but by the end of that day I "knew" no one new. What
was wrong? I spoke to several new faces, but if I got a
reply, it was only a half-given one. At the end of the day,
I was not too discouraged for I thought maybe I was at
fault. By the end of the first week I began to worry; the
situation hadn't changed. I had really tried to befriend
the new students. I began questioning the other old stu-
dents and I found the same thing was happening to them.
One of the outstanding features of Milligan in the past
has been its friendliness. This one feature alone has kept
many students back each year.

COST OF EDUCATION
MISS JEAN HARRIS
"M" Club's Candidate for Homecoming Queen
The cost of an education is not really in dollars and
cents; however, that is our first impression, when consider-
ing the venture. The real price paid is the willingness
upon the part of an individual to make a sufficient sacri-
fice to save enough money for the necessary down pay-
ments in dollars and cents for the opportunity to pass
through the regular channels of the halls of some chosen
institution of learning; but howsoever, fine may be the
material structure of the buildings, and beauty of the cam-
pus, it altogether will not bring one to the fruition of a
useful life of service, unless the door that leads to the inner
chambers of a soul that hungers and thirsts for the knowl-
edge of truth that centers in and around the Master Teach-
|r of all things, the commodities in the form of degrees will
be of little worth. The life of an individual must be full and
saturated with truths and facts about things of the life
which he has been given in order to make a real contribu-
tion in the footprints of time.
Time is one of the most important elements of life, in
this end of the journey, and the use of it will determine
the destiny of the life lived in this earthly pilgrimage. The
scramble seems to be, get an education. But what for?
should be a first consideration. If it is for a selfish and
personal gain, it is not worth the first down payment. Too
many becomes so engrossed in making a living that no
time is left to make a life. The chart of life should be so
well marked that the trail would be easily seen by those
who follow. Be not willing to die, without first having
made some contribution to life. That necessitates a choice
and definite aim early in life. The choice should be care-
fully and wisely made, but made. An individual should
know well in advance of entering college what he plans to
do in life. Too many enter college on their way somewhere,
but do not know where they are going. Why travel eight
years through grade school, four years through High School,
then four more years through college making a sum total of
sixteen years of travel, but going nowhere in particular.
With a good foundation laid in the journey through
the Grade and High School, one should be prepared to
choose well his courses of study to be well adapted to serve
him to a definite end and aim. Schooling in the general
sense of the term, without a definite aim in life, contributes
much to the class of the educated jobless group. The field
of labor is less congested for the group that is more inter-
ested in making a life than merely a living. While you live,
live. The question is not so much, how long you live, but
how well you live.
Library Notes
A new room has been added
to the Library — a reserve book
and reference room. The re-
serve books have been placed
on open shelves and students
are permitted to go to the
shelves and select the books
which they wish to use. Only
two restrictions have been
placed on the use. of the books.
One, always sign the pink card
in the pocket of the book, and
give it to the student assistant.
Two, the books must be used in
the Library. The remaining reg-
ulations governing reserve books
are the same as those in effect
last year.
With the addition of another
reading room, the main reading
room has been changed. The
card catalog and the charging
desk are now in the second half
of the double room, and the sec-
ond door on the left is the main
entrance. All two-week books
and magazines are obtained at
this desk.
The staff of the Library has
been increased this year to eight
assistants: Virginia Bledsoe, Do-
lores Cooke, Lois Fry, Thelma
Gwin, Beverly R. Moore, Fran-
ces Pardue, Betty Smithson,
and Peggy Welsh.
A lecture on the use of the
Library was given to each of the
sections of Freshman English
this past week. Handbooks were
distributed to all those in class,
and all those who did not obtain
one, may ask for a copy in the
Library.

MILLIGAN PORTRAIT
By Mildred Keeler
As the years roll by, I'll cherish,
The memories of these first
strange days,
My first glimpse of the green
campus.
Pictured in my heart for always.
The thrill of anticipation,
I first entered Hardin Hall,
Wondering if I would find here,
The answer to dreams great and
small.
The friendly smiles of the
others,
Many who were strangers as I,
But it seemed like I saw
welcome,
On the faces of all who passed
by.
My room seemed quile large and
lonely,
Until new friends dropped in to
see,
How everything was getting
along,
Or if they might be of help to
me.
The ringing of the dinner bell,
Seemed in its friendly tone,
To say, "We're glad to have you
here,
And hope that you'll soon call
this home."
And then there came the event-
ful day,
The bells ringing loud for class,
What expectation in my heart,
Off to trails of wisdom at last.
These, with the creek and the
willows,
The birds in the early morn,
The thrill of a package or letter,
A football game that was won.
Combine to make of Milligan,
A cherished memory,
Making first thoughts of college
days,
Just what I'd want them to be.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
It was a happy new year for
one of Milligan's preacher boys.
William Small, senior and min-
ister at Bluff City, Tenn., had
occasion to smile when he lift-
ed from his postoffice box an
elaborately decorated greeting
card, bearing a Hebrew inscrip-
tion. It was a greeting from one
of Bill's Pittsburgh friends, who,
undoubtedly tied it in with this
preacher's summer bookkeeping
job.

THE STAMPEDE
PAGE THREE
Peering around campus on
registration day, the old buffalo
was flabbergasted to see so
many new faces, but by keeping
our eyes and our ears open,
we've managed to dig up a few
bits of gossip to pass on to you.
As usual Tom Hagy's theme
song remains "Peg O" My Heart"
for the third consecutive year.
That's one romance that doesn't
change with the weather.
To disprove the theory that
"absence makes the heart grow
fonder — of somebody else," sev-
eral romances survived the
summer months and together
again are Billy Jack and Joyce,
Martha and Ray, and last but
not least. Homer and Dolores.
And cheerleader Jane Vest is
still giving fifteen "rahs" for
Paul Griz!
When Peg Stock gets a far-
away look in her eyes, you can
bet it isn't some male she's
pining over. Her greatest am-
bition is to ride in a Cadillac
with "airplane tail-lights" Can't
some kind reader make her
dream come true?
It'll be interesting to see
which campus beauty finally
claims the post card on the bul-
letin board in the post office —
[ addressed to "The Prettiest
GirL"
And the buffalo hasn't been

'"The Goose School Spirit Grows as Milligan-State Battle Nears ffigXlo
Hangs High"
On the evening of Tuesday,
' Nov. 23 the Milligan College
Players will present "The Goose
Hangs High," a play in three
acts by Lewis Beech. This is the
Player's first production of the
season. Dr. Jennie Lorenz and
a capable cast of thirteen mem-
bers are working hard to give
the best possible performance.
The scene of the play is the
comfortable living room of one
of the town's best families. Ber-
nard and Eunice Ingles, the love-
able and understanding parents,
are played by Bennie Smith and
Elen Austin. Grany, an aris-
tocrat through and through, is
played by Joan Greene. Char-
lotte Hobbs and Kermit Hall are
the twins who have just come
home from college for the holi-
days. The older son, Hugh, is
played by Roy Hampton. Other
members of the cast are: Dottie
Rose, Ruby Berryman, Dorothy
Hendershot, Paul Conkin, Bob
Chase, Kenneth Brown, Jo Anne
SturgiU.and Ralph Derting.
This play is one that will
touch the hearts of every col-
lege student who sees it. It is
one that will cause many a par-
ent to stop and think.
Tickets will be on sale in the
near future. Watch the bulletin
bords for further announcement.
Pre-Med Club
■ Formal initiation into the Pre-
Med Club was held last Thurs-
day night in the Administration
building.
The four students who last
week successfully completed
their pledgeship and were in-
itiated are: Louise Green, Bev-
erly Dolan, Jimmy Stambrough,
and Nelta Hyder.
Plans for the club project for
the year were brought up and
discussed, but nothing definite
was decided.
After the meeting refresh-
ments were served.
Let's Massacre
State
There seems to be an undying
cry on the Milligan campus and
most of. us know what it is —
Beat State ... We want to
create a school spirit behind our
Buffaloes that has never been
witnessed before. We want all
the clubs such as: Pre-Med. "M"
Club" Christian Service, Home
Economics, and Phy. Education
clubs to get behind this grand
team.
We are going to show our
team we are behind them one-
hundred percent so that if we
lose the game we will know
we did our part. Each club
please appoint committees to
make signs and post them. Let's
"Show" them how we stand.
I know our team, the Buffs,
are working hard for this game
and if we get some of State's
luck — we should give them a
trouncing they will never forget.
The State student body seems
to think they will take Milligan
by a large score; but I do not
seem to know what they base
this on because during the re-
gular season competitive scores
speak:
State 2—0 Middle Tenn, State
0—7 Milligan.
State 20—19 Tenn. Wesylan
7—19 Milligan.
State 7 — 6 Carson Newman
7—19 Milligan.
State 16— Emory Henry 0—6
Milligan.
I have seen nearly all the
games State has played this
year. They must have played a
whale of a good game against
Maryville but the other four
mentioned games I witnessed.
They seemed to get all the
breaks and were most of the
time outplayed.
The Buccaneers luckily blocked
a Middle Tennessee kick and
then braged how strong their
team was. Getting to another
one, — in the Emory game the
score was 3-0, 6, 9-6, until the
game was nearly over when
State intercepted a pass and
scored to beat Emory, a team
which had pushed them all. over
the field that night. First
downs for Emory 14 — State 12.
For the Carson Newman game
they beat the Eagles 7-6. Mil-
ligan took them 19-7 with an es-
sential player or two out of the
line up. Bufaloes, give us the'
best grade of ball you have ever
played that night; and all Mil-
ligan students will hold a place
in their memory for you.
Let's get busy now — decorate
the buildings, the store, the
campus, create pep, cheerleaders
"NOW," not two days before the
game.
We have a team that has play-
ed hard, clean, good ball this
year; so we owe it to them to get
behind the men, the coach and
push them over the top. What
do you say, gang?
We can do it and I know we
can. Let's talk it up and get
these clubs to work "now" and
"right now."

A Good Record
Dean Clifton Houk, a gradu-
ate of Milligan last spring is now
attending graduate school at
Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, Louisville. A letter
relative to Dean's work there
has been received by the Regis-
trar from Mr. W. B. Tatum, As-
sistant to the President at
Southern Baptist. Quote: "You
will be happy to know that the
high scholastic rating and the
efficient manner of training in
your school is reflected from
year to year in an ever increas-
ing stranger student body for
us. For that reason we are in-
terested in maintaining a sus-
tained relationship with the
students of your school who may
look toward professional train-
ing with us."

Armistice Chapel Program
A special Armistice program was presented at the Milligan
College Chapel hour on November 11. The stage was very
appropriately decorated to carry out the patriotic theme of the
day. The program was opened with the reading of the Scripture
by Robert Van Lew. "Battle Hymn of the Republic" was sung
by the college choir. Janet Catlett read the following Armistice
poems: "Chaplain to the Forces," by W. M. Letts; "In Flanders
Field," by Lawrence Binyon. Mr. Elmer C. Lewis, Acting Presi-
dent of the college and former Chaplain in the United States
Army, addressed the assembly with Armistice thoughts. At the
conclusion of the message everyone stood with bowed head,
as "Taps" was played in the distance. The service closed with a
prayer for peace.

POLICY
To promote school spirit, good sportsmanship, and

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR TIME
Each day has 24 hours for all of us. It is not a matter
if how much time we have to do this or that but rather
aow we use the time all of us have. It is purely a matter
sf organization.
Thirty minutes a day devoted to serious study can
io wonders to your native ability. Learn one important
fact a day, every day in the week, and you add 30 facts a
month to your mental equipment. This is 360 facts a, year.
A,dd to this the knowledge you ordinarily pick up an see
>vhat you have.
No matter what that tough course may be — history,
language, bible, science, salesmanship, or anything else —
.t can be broken down into sections and learned part by
part. And even with only 30 minutes a day of concen-
:rated study, you can master any subject you wish to learn.

Wife: "I've stayed awake for
the last four hours, waiting for

Hubby: "I've stayed awake
at the club for the last four
hours, waiting for you to go to
sleep."
Margaret Puckett: "I think the
Roses are hinting that we go
home."
Harry: "Yes, dear, they have
already gone to bed.
Delorse: "Who was that girl
you just spoke to?"
Homer: "Never mind just
now. I'll have enough trouble
trying to tell her who you were."
Ellen: "Look at this lovely
engagement ring Bill gave me."
Millie: "Yes, it's very pretty.
I was sorry it was too 'large for
me."
If DEMOCRACY is to be preserved and world peace
;o be achieved, education must produce:
Not only better thinking
But also better feeling,
Not only civilization of the mind
But also civilization of the heart.

History In Brief
When Charles A. Beard, the
eminent historian, was asked if
he could condense into one short
book the lessons taught by his-
tory, he replied that he could
do it in these four sentences:
1. Whom the gods would de-
stroy, they first make mad with
power.
2. The mills of the gods grind
slowly, but exceedingly small.
3. The bee fertilizes the flow-
er it robs.
4. When it is dark enough, one
can see the stars.

Letter Policy
Letters to the editor are
encouraged by the Stampede
and will be printed whenever
possible.
Letters must be signed and
accompanied by the contrib-
utor's return address for the
purpose of verification. An
unsigned letter will receive
no consideration. If the writ-
er desires, his name may be
deleted, but the deletion of a
name will depend entirely
upon the content of the let-
ter, not the request of the
writer.
The Stampede reserves the
right to reject any letter be-
:ause of content or charac-
ter.
No partisanship will be
shown in the printing of let-
ters. All conforming to the
above policy will be printed
except when lack of space
prohibits.
Dramatic Club
One night recently I was try-
ing to slip quietly into Hardin
after staying out just a little bit
overtime' with my date — a hand-
some brunete, by the way. Just
as I'd thought I'd done a pretty
good job of opening the front
door softly, what should I hear
'jut a loud quarrel going on in
,he back parlor.
Now I'm every bit as curious
as the next female, so I slipped
up outside the closed doors and
listened. Sure 'nuff! A bang-
up dispute was taking place, and
it sounded as if several people
were really mad. I even heard
some boy's voices! Say, this
was the kind of stuff my room-
mates iust LOVE to hear! I could
hardly wait to hurry upstairs
and tell all.
At that very moment, there
seemed a lull in the noise, and
only one strained voice came
to my ears (tuned for the last
murmer). Gathering up enough
courage to peek through the
keyhole, what to my wonder-
ing eyes should appear but Dr.
Lorenz and the cast of the Dra-
matic Club's forthcoming play.
Miss Hale Meets
With Junior Class
The Junior class is in full
swing once again! It got under-
way with a brief but very im-
portant meeting last Monday.
Miss Hale addressed the group
concerning the need of picking
of definite majors and minors
this year. If any are in doubt
as to exactly where they stand,
the administration will be glad
to advise them.
Leroy Wright, our retiring
president, presided over the
meeting until the election of
new officers at which time Carl
Edwards, our new president,
took over. ,
In case there are any new
students who don't know Carl,
here are "a few vital statistics.
He came to us from Coeburn,
Virginia where he graduated
from Ervington High. After
high school he served in the
dental corps of the Navy for two
years. Here at Milligan he is
majoring in Biology as a pre-
requisite to dental school.
He is interested in all sports,
particularly basketball and he
is now serving as assistant Junior
editor on the annual staff. In
the summer you would mest
probably find him along any
convenient river bank looking
for the nearest fish to help him
out in his favorite hobby.
If you see a tall, handsome,
relatively quiet person with an
outstanding personality walking
through the halls you will know
that that is our president, and
we are very proud to have him
represent our class this year.
The other newly elected of-
ficers were: Jerry Jesse, vice
president; Emma Kuth Riggs,
secretary; Wilbur Johnson,
treasurer; and Mary Frances
Elliott, reporter.
I LIVE AS I WANT TO LIVE
By CLAUDE CALLOWAY
Yesterday I visited William Nathaniel Maupin. Bill
is a strange hermit, who inhabits a rickety six-by-ten
shack mounted on four rusty mowing machine wheels.
It is situated on the banks of a little creek, on Route Five,
Johnson City, where Cedar Grove community staggers
into the incorporation line of the city.
Seventy -six-year old Bill Maupin is a character of
interesting study. Small of stature, he is wizened, yet
physically active. His five-foot-four frame, slightly crook-
ed, is topped by a hoary head of hair-not gray, but streak-
ed with a multiple of shade. Stringly locks hang far
below his greasy overall jacket collar. The beard on his
face is matted so that there seems to be no beginning and
no end. Coarse as hay, the whiskers take on a straw-col-
ored hue, in a banana-shaped patch around Bill's mouth.
As he began to talk, I could discover the location of
his rather narrow mouth. Behind tightened thin lips set
two ragged rows of yellow — almost blackened teeth. At
least the remains of the teeth are there. They remaind
one of rows of rotten grains on an ear of corn.
Bill's list of apparel starts with a pair of rawhide
brogans. On one of them the upper is disconnected from
the sole. The shoes are laced with raveled binder twine.
His pants are of durable lenium, made more indestructable
by their impregnation with grease and grime. A shirt
of similar material is wanton of three buttons. Suspenders
are pinned with small shingle nails.
Vagabond, soldier, circus handy man, carpenter, store-
keeper, gold prospector, go to make up a partial list of '
his earlier pursuits.
v I stepped inside his smoke-smeared shack. He beck-
oned me to a seat on a toesack of coal, which had been
collected from droppings along the Clinchfield tracks.
Bill, the hermit has a mind that is yet keen and an
imagination which takes on profound proportions. He
sat on his bed, made of dingy rags thrown into a heap
in a wooden frame against the shack's splintered pine wall.
His corn-cob pipe, burnt away at the top, sent forth clouds
of biting, stifling smoke. The tobacco is crumbled from
the raw cured leaves of the plant.
With an accuracy of detail all his own, Bill took me
on the blood-curdling campaigns of the Spanish-American
War, the first pioneer days of the Cherokee Strip in Okla-
homa, to the fishing trips with Governor Alf Taylor of
Tennessee fame.
His eyes, set like black shoe buttons in a face of deeply-
etched granite, sparkled as he relived the days of yore.
I started to leave, but Bill insisted that I spend the
night. He surveyed the common place interior of his win-
dowless shack as if it had been the place of a potentate.
Declining the invitation of hospitality, I asked "Do you
enjoy living here?"
William Nahaniel Maupin propped his feet against the
rusty iron stove.
"If I didn't like it I wouldn't stay here," was the terse
reply.
"Yes, young feller, 1 'spect I'm the luckiest man in the
world. I live as I want to."
Bill refiled his pipe, lighted it, drew in to the fullest
capacity of his lungs. He then exhaled the fumes in blue
corkscrew spirals and heaved a sigh of contentment.
FRESHMEN ELECT PRESIDENT
A dominating personality
doesn't seem to get very fair if
the other guy is driving a ten-
ton truck.
Now that the "big" elections
are over, it is fitting and proper
that we introduce our Freshman
president.
It was only nineteen years ago
that Papa Wattwood paced the
halls of a Flordia hospital
in Orlando, while awaiting
the arrival of the first addition
to his clan. The obliging stork,
sure enough, arrived ontime and
deposited a cuddly little bundle
that turned out to be the in-
spiration for this parade, or
Herman E. Wattwood.
Herman is from Titusville,
Florida. His childhood was a
normal one; full of play and
many spankings. Eager for an
education, he started to school
at the age of six. Later, he en-
tered Titusville High School,
where he played football for
two years, was a member of the
Letter Club, and vice president
and salutorian of his senior class.
Herman graduated in June of
'46, after which he joined the
Navy. He was a radioman in
the submarine force for two
years. The home port of his
sub, the U. S. S. Runner, was
Balboa, Panama.
As for likes, Herman enjoys
eating, sleeping, southern fried
chicken, sports and GIRLS. Be-
ing from the deep south, he dis-
likes cold weather.
Since he came to Milligan he
has won many friends and a nice
new name: Meatball. Herman
has made his vibrant personality
and effervescent energy felt
throughout the school. By this
time we have all said, "It ain't
easy." Yes, Meatball was the
orginator.
The Freshmen are all behind'
you pres, and we will be help-
ing you to make this the BEST
freshmen class Milligan has ever
had.
Christian Service Club
The revival meeting sponsor-
ed by the Christian Service Club
that was to be held the first
three nights in this week has
been postponed until the next
week, it was announced by Miss
Mildred Welshimer, sponsor.
The dates of the meeting are .
now November 15 through 17.
The postponement is due to
illness at the school.

Southern Association
Students, faculty members,
and friends of Milligan have
been asking, "Where does Mil-
ligan College stand with re-
gard to the Southern Associa-
tion of Colleges and Secondary
Schools?" Such interest is a
healthy sign and all have a right
to an answer.
It is unfortunate that such
misinformation has been passed
around. Some have said that
we are practically in the Asso-
ciation, others that we have no
chance of becoming accepted.
Both are wrong.
The Southern Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools
has for many years maintained
a small list of Non-Member Col-
leges. Milligan College has
been on that list, and has an-
nually turned in reports to main-
tain that status. The Associa-
tion voted to discontinue the
list of Non- Member Colleges
effective December I, 1948.
In order- that no further mis-
understanding might arise, Dr.
Huntley was asked to write a
letter as to our status. Addres-
sed to President Lewis, the let-
ter stated in part as follows:
"Milligan College has not had
before the Association a formal
application for membership. It
has reported annually to the
Association and for Several years
prior to the war, received an
annual inspection. These re-
ports and inspections were de-
signed to determine the extent
to which the college was
strengthening its position in its
efforts to meet the standards."
"It was a pleasure to have you
and Dean Sahli here last Wed-
nesday. I was glad of the op-
portunity to discuss with you
relations between Milligan
College and the Association
through the years. It was par-
ticularly gratifying to learn
that the administration is pre-
pared to make earnest effort to
meet the standards of the As-
sociation and to qualify for
membership at an early date."
Mr. Huntley has invited the
administration to appear before
the Association's Committee on
Admission to Membership at the
annual meeting in Memphis,
November 29-December 2.
The College has been short of
the Association's standards on
several points but has been mak-
ing real progress during the
couple of years. The most seri-
ous deficit has been in regard
to endowment. For a church
sponsored college with our en-
rollment the requirement is
$400,000. The endowment re-
ported a year ago was less than
$100,000. The endowment as re-
ported at the end of the past
fiscal year was $219,000. Every
effort must be made to raise the
needed additional amount by
next fall. It would seem that
every other standard could be
met by that time, if these
standards are met by next fall
the Association will order a
special study of Milligan College
next year with a view of ap-
proval for membership in the
Assoociation.
In the meantime students
should not be unduly concerned
about acceptance of their credits.
Milligan College alumni have
compiled an unusually fine re-
:ord in graduate schools every
where. Many letters are on file
in the Registrar's Office expres-
sing the confidence of such
schools in the academic quality
of Milligan students. Our pur-
pose at present is to maintain
that record and to strive together
for full accreditment
LIBRARY TO SHOW PICTURES SEEN OSCAR?
Milligan College has arranged
to show THE PROTESTANT
REVOLUTION, a photographic
exhibiton prepared by the edi-
tors of LIFE Magazine, begin-
ing November 22 and continu-
ing through November 27.
THE PROTESTANT REVOLU-
TION is based on one of the
recent LIFE articles in the series
devoted to the History of West-,
em Culture. It deals with that
turbulent century and a half of
European history from 150 to
1650. It was a period full of re-
ligious and political conflicts,
and witnessed the rise of nation-
alism throughout Europe. The
exhibition makes use of many
pictures and color reproductions
which were published in the
LIFE articles. The majority of
the photographic material, how-
ever, was not published in LIFE
and the whole subject has been
re-edited especially for the ex-
hibition. "
THE PROTESTANT REVO-
LUTION is based on one of the
sections, the first of which is
called The Catholic Church and
its Leaders. Several panels are
devoted to the complicated struc-
ture of the Holy Roman Empire
and the reasons for the Protest-
ant Revolt agaist the Church.
There are portraits of Pope Leo
X, Charles V of Spain, and
Francis I of France. There is
also a 16th Century engraving
of the Pope blessing the people
from old St. Peter's in Rome
with the unfinished dome of
Michelangelo raising in the
background. *
The second division deals with
the Protestant Revolt and its
Leaders. It includes Martin
Luther, John Frederick the
Magnanimous, and John Calvin
The text describes the Revolt
after Luther had nailed his 95
theses to the Wittenbery Church
Door.
The third division describes the
weapons of propaganda and per-
secution as they were used by
both the Catholics and the Pro-
testants. The fourth and last
division concerns the growth of
nationality as it rose in Ger-
many, France, The Netherlands,
and in England.
In Germany the Protestant
Revolution -added religious dis-
cord to the already existing poli-
tical division of the country. Its
spiritual turmoil -found fitting
expression in the work of Al-
brecht Durer. and his Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse are
prophetic of the war, pestilence,
famine, and death which har-
rassed Germany for 150 years.
In France, birthplace of
Calvin, the Hugenots won a
strong following. Henry of Nav-
arre was a Protestant, but when
he won the throne of France, he
became a Catholic because he
felt that the French people pre-
ferred Catholicism. When he
was crowned in 1594, he is re-
puted to have summoned up the
tangled religious and political
situation in the phrase 'Taris
is well worth a mass."
In the northern Netherlands
religious and national revolt pro-
duced a new and independent
nation, and the golden pros-
perity which capitalism brought
to the Low Countries in the 17th
Century was brilliantly reflect-
ed in the art of the time.
In England, Henry the Eighth
broke with the Catholic Church,
and his daughter Elizabeth fin-
ally threw herself and her coun-
/try on the Protestant side
against Catholic Spain in a
struggle that was as much na-
tional as religious.
Included in THE PROTEST-
ANT REVOLUTION are repro-
ductions of •the first illustrated
edition of Milton's Paradise Lost,
Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, the

By MARY PERRY
Has anyone seen Oscar lately?
I have lost Oscar and I cannot
rest until I find him. Who is
Oscar? Why, the little virus
that was in, circulation not too
long ago. I thought everyone
knew that! Well, ayway I have
lost him and I need some help
in finding him.
You see, Oscar has been a pet
of mine for several years now.
He took up with me once be-
cause I shared my bubble gum
with him, and we have been
buddies ever since. I should
have said we WERE budies be-
cause from what happened a
few days ago it looks as if we
were anything but buddies now.
On Monday not so long ago I
forgot to give Oscar his Wheat-
ies for breakfast and boy did
that make him mad. In fact I
have never seen such an angry
little virus in my life. Oscar
never forgave me for my for-
getfulness. All that week he
kept trying to think of a way
to get even with me and by
Thursday night he succeeded.
He dicided to put the "virus
spell" on me and some time in
the wee hours of that very night
I began to suffer. It was not,
however, the fact that I had to
suffer that worried me — I guess
I really deserved it — it was just
that everyone else around here
had to help pay for my forget-
fulness. "Every few moments a
new case was reported and I
couldn't imagine what had got-
ten into Oscar, he used to be
a tame virus. Well, I guess he
enjoyed seeing me sick so much
that he wanted others to feel
the same way and there seemed
to be no stopping him.
It was rather funny to me to
hear people blaming the food
for their sickness. If you ask
me, the food is much smarter
than we are. When the virus
gets into the stomach the food
is smart enough to get out, if
you know what I mean. My, I
didn't realize how much trouble
a mad virus could cause.
But poor, poor Oscar. Will he
never forgive me and come back
to me? What has happened to
him in all of the confusion. If
anyone has seen him or does
see him in the future please
notify the proper party. I am
sorry so many of you have been
sick, but please don't put all of
the blame-on me! Could I help
it if I forgot to give Oscar his
Wheaties?
Young mallard ducks can
swim athird of a mile as soon
as they leave the nest.
A man should work eight hours
and sleep eight hours, but not at
the same time.
I always wanted to know how
two people could live as cheaply
as one what?
You won't find many success
rules that'll work unless you do.
A lot of good could be done
for the world if nobody cared
who got credit for it
The average life of a human
"hair is probably five or six years.
No powder was ever invented
that could make as loud an ex-
plosion as that found on a man's
coat lapel

THE STAMPEDE
FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 19, 1948
Basketball
Practice Begins
Basketball season is just
around the corner. The Buffs
open their home season Decem-
I ber 2. As yet the opening op-
i ponent has not been named for
the December encounter. Bas-
ketball fans of East Tennessee
■ are looking ahead with a great
deal of anticipation for the new
edition of the 1948-49 Herd
plans are allready under way to
follow the same pattern which
brought the Buffs national re-
cognition last year. For ten
days now all boys who are in-
terested in basketball have been
working out at Cheek Gymnas-
ium. Among the 34 boys who
have reported are 7 lettermen
from last year's squad. This
squad of 34 is expected to jump
to near fifty as the football sea-
son ends and the athletes there
turn their attention to the hard-
wood. Coach Yancey, who is
now directing the program each
evening from 7 to 8:30 P. M.,
does not plan to select his Var-
sity club until five days after
the football season is over. Then
as he did last season, he will
select 20 of the most promising
athletes for the varsity -club
and the remainder will be turn-
ed over to Coach Spraker to
formulate the Freshman and B
Squads. Both coaches will fol-
low the same pattern of offense
and a boy will be moved from
one club to the other as his
merits demand. By December
2, 15 men will have been sel-
ected from the 20 and the five
dropped will move back to the
freshmen squad
Coach Yancey plans to carry
a squad of 15 boys at all home
games and 12 for all games on
the road. Coach Spraker will
carry 15 at all home games and
10 on the road. With practice
still in its elementary stages it
is hard to get an accurate pic-
ture of just what the team will
look like this season. However
from all indications it will be
another ding dong affair in sel-
ecting the top five men. Last
season it was not until the
Championship game with L. M.
U. did Hyder, Shepherd, Gouge,
Hathaway and Middleton emerge
as the Milligan Varsity. Com-
petition had been that keen all
the way.
Dick Kennedy and Bill Sim-
mons are the remaining two let-
termen that are now out for
the squad. Wallace Roberts,
lanky 6 foot 6 inch freshman
from Pound, Virginia, is expect-
ed to give Middleton plenty of
competition at the center post
and several new faces are pop-
ping the nets with surprising
regularity for early season. This
is an indication that Hyder and
Shepherd will again be pushed
for their spots. It was the Mil-
ligan Basketeers that set the
area to talking about their style
of offense and their spirit of
cooperation and their splendid
example of sportmanship last
season. The spirit that they set
up has been an important factor
in the present success of the
football team.
STAMPEDE SPORTS
Lees-McRae Preview Of State Buffs Defeat Sport Briefs
Defeats Milligan
Freshmen
While the varsity was battling
it out with the Wesleyan Bull-
dogs in Athens last Saturday
night, the Milligan freshman
team made a trip to Banner,
Elk, North Carolina to take on
Lees-McRae Junior College.
The mud that greeted the
varsity at Athens was mild to
that at Banner Elk. Reports
were that the ushers were
showing the fans to their seats
via canoe. Again, the Buff of-
fense was hampered by the sea
of mud. The quick opening
plays that the freshman team
used to defeat the Emory fresh-
man 14-0 had to be salted away,
and the old power plays called
into use.
The Buff backfield consisting
o f Arthur : Ratliff e, George
Stewart, Frank Kelly, and
Ralph Porter, with assistance
from Al Davis gained plenty of
yardage for Milligan, but fum-
bles marred their chances of
scoring. The Baby Buffs fum-
beld the ball ten times, and
Leas-McRae did little better
with 9 fumbles.
On one occasion the Buffs
splashed the ball 65 yards on
a sustained drive only to lose
the ball as they slid up to pay-
dirt.
The final score stood 14-0 in
favor of Lees-McRae. Some-
how they mired their way twice
through the Buffs for scores.
Coaches "Hobe" Simmons and
Claude Holsclaw were on hand
to guide the freshmen. "Hosie"
said that the field was so muddy
that all anyone could see of the
players was their eyeballs, and
not that unless you were near
the players. Another "big help"
was a dense fog that moved into
the field in the second half.
Hobe Simons said that it made
things perfect for a trick play,
but that the Buffs couldn't see
through the mud and fog suf-
ficiently to pull any tricks.
The freshmen ended their
season last Friday when they
encountered East Tennessee
State freshmen at the state field.
This game was a preview of the
varsity game which will be Fri-
night. "Hobe" Simmons and
"Hosie" deserve praise and a
little encouragement from the
student body. This work they
did this year brought credit to
the schol in the form of the
praise of cooperation and team-
work. Not only are these two
boys preparing for their life-
work but are benefiting the
future ball team of the Buffs.
"M" Club Sponsor
The "M" Club is proud to
announce the selection of Prof.
Akard as their sponsor for the
1948-1949 school year.
The club feels his qualities of
leadersip and his well-rounded
personality will be a great asset
in the planning and executing of
their activities for the school.
O'Neill And Mathes
Win Tennis
The Intramural Program for
Milligan students is well under-
way with both the girls and
boys' tennis tournaments com-
pleted. Ruth O'Neill of Nor-
ton, Virginia defeated Jo Spratt
of Chicago, Illinois 3-2 to take
first place for the girls. Mathes
eliminated Fred Wallenfelz in
the final match to win the boys'
tournament.
Milligan Tangle
What's the talk of the town?
You guessed it! It's the coming
battle with the East Tennessee
Buccaneers in the Memorial
Stadium on November 20
Campus experts as well as ex-
perts in Johnson City have
quite a range in the predictions.
We hear estimates of both a Buff
and a Buccaneer victory, some
zealots going so far as to pre-
dict the score. As Carl Shepherd
says, "I'll clue you." This game,
according to my perdictions
is really going to be a dog-fight.
Both teams have an enviable
record for the season. Milligan
has racked up eight wins against
a lone defeat so far this season,
and East Tennessee State has
lost only two — both to strong
teams. Barring any upsets this
week, the teams should enter
the big game riding good re-
cords-
Plenty of tradition is at stake,
also, The Buffs and State are
next door neighbors, and due
to the intensive rivalry in past
years, this is the first time in
eight years that the teams will
meet on the gridiron. They met
on the basketball court last sea-
son with Miligan copping both
games.
Todate, the Buffs have taken
eight games from their oppon-
ents. They've defeated Salem
25-0, Emory and Henry 6-0,
Tampa University 2013, Tuscu-
lum 7-0, Middle Tennessee State
7-0, Stetson University 12-6,
Carson Newman 19-7, and Ten-
nessee Wesleyan 19-7. The lone
loss was to Southeastern Louis-
iana College in New Orleans.
At the sametime the State Col-
lege |"Buccaneers have had a
good season also. They lost to
Erskine and Western North
Carolina Teachers in early sea-
son encounters, then have gone
on to post victories over Mary-
ville, Carson Newman, Emory
and Henry, Middle Tennessee
State,, and Tennessee Wesleyan.
That's a record of five straight
victories for the Buccaneers and
five straight for the Buffs.
Well, what's the outcome go-
ing to be? No one knows, but
you can rest assured that all
East Tennessee with the Milli-
gan and State rooters one hun-
dred precent strong are going
to be on hand to see what hap-
pens. Some local people have
estimated that 12,000 fans
will squeeze into the Memorial
Stadium for the big contest.
And it will be a colorful af-
fair. The State band will be
present, and Milligan will be
represented by a high school
band. Half-time activities are
already under planning, and
everyone can expect to see a
gala show. There's going to be
a big parade prior to the game,
with either Milligan and State
parading separately, or the two
schools joined together in to one
big affair.
Luck and laziness rarely go
hand in hand.
Little David came running to
his father with a shout of
triumph.
"Look daddy, I pulled this
cornstalk up all by myself."
His father patted him on the
back and said, "What a strong
boy you are."
"Sure," said the little fellow,
and just think, the whole world'
had hold of the other end!"
Ten., Wesleyan
The Buffs made it their eighth
win of the season as they whip-
ped the Tennessee Wesleyan
Bulldogs 19-7 in Athens, Tennes-
see, last Saturday night.
Dick Kennedy carried the mail
for all three touchdowns. He
racked up three beautiful runs
in the process; one of the touch-
downs was good for 45 yards
another for 65 yds. and the last
for 11. Sam Pridon kicked the
single extra point.
The Buffs had eveything
against them. Before they en-
tered the game, sixteen of the
squad of thirty who made the
trip were sick. Also, the field
was muddy, and what looked like
it would slow won their quick
moving T formation. But the
Herd forgot all this and played
their best to make it another
victory for Milligan.
Early in the first quarter, Ken-
nedy started off right tackle, got
through the line, and picked up
his interference. After he got
into the Wesleyan secondary,
the Milligan blockers saw to it
that not another Bulldog layed
a hand on "Dazzling Dick." Sam
Pridon tried .the extra point,
but' it was off to one side, leav-
ing the score 6-0. The Buffs
kicked off to Wesleyan, and on
their first play after the kickoff,
a pass to Cooke over the center
of the line was good for the
touchdown, and after the extra
point was made, the score stood
7-6 in favor of the Bulldogs.
This didn't daunt the Buffs
however. In the second quar-
ter, Kennedy again headed over
right tackle, and this time
scooted 65 yards for a score that
put Milligan back into the lead
12-7. Pridon's attempt for the
conversion was good, and the
score stood 13-7 at the half.
As the second half opened, the
Wesleyan team opened up with
a passing attack that had the
stands howling, but the hard
rushing Buff foreward wall, and
an interception by Don Lam-
bert stopped the aerial circus.
When the Buffs got possession
of the ball, they started a
march toward Wesleyan's goal.
Two fifteen yard jaunts by
George Dugger and Johnny Carr,
along with other gains by Jack
Bible took the ball to the Bull-
dog's eleven yard lin. Here
Kennedy again took the ball over
right tackle to score the last
touchdown. After an off-side
penalty, Pridon again atempt-
ed the extra point, but it was
blocked, and the scoring was
completed for the evening.
For the rest of the game, Jack
Bible and Johnny Carr kept
the Wesleyan outfit on their
toes with their running, and
Lynn Goddard really kept them
in their own backyard as he
placed three coffin corner kicks
out inside the Bulldog's ten yard
marker. The game ended with
the Buffs threatening once more.
Charlie D'Aata played a good
defensive game as he continally
rushed the Wesleyan passers
Phil Hutchenson played well,
and Jack Caldwell and John
Vaccaro also come in for their
share of the praise.
A real tribute can be payed
to the Buffs as they played a
very good game against the
strong Tennessee Wesleyan team
despite the fact that more than
half of them were too sick to
eat. Only five players ate their
pre-game meal.
Harry Puckett and Maricue
Love are back in football uni-
form this week Harry's had
plenty of bad luck this season
as well as Maurice. Harry re-
ceived a concussion in the
Tampa game that kept him out
of action for three weeks, and
then against Carson Newman he
got a bruised hip that layed him
up for another week. Maurice
had a tonsillectomy just before
the Salem game at the begin-
ning of the season, and when
he was ready again, he "got his
leg bruised in the Seteson game.
This injury kept him out until
this week. We hope that both
the boys will be ready for West
Virginia Tech this week and
hope especially that they'll be
ready for the State encounter
the following week.
The Milligan offense has piled
up 115 points so far this season
while holding the opposition to
only 47 points. That means 18
touchdowns against 7 for their
opponents, and 7 extra points
to 4. The most yardage that
the Buffs have piled up in a
single game was against Tus-
culum where they gained 319
yards by rushing and passing.
The gym is plenty crowded
every night now from 7 o'clock
till 8:30 as the Buff Basketball
team work out in preparation
for the rough schedule that
faces them this year.- About
thirty-five aspiarants are out
now, and the total will be swel-
led to about forty-five when the
footballers join the squad. The
boys are looking pretty good at
this stage of practice. Let's hope
that they wind up this basket
ball season with as good a re-
cord or better than last year's.
Coach Yancey says that three
things are certain to everyone
in life — death, taxes, and foot-
ball upsets. Mr. Truman didn't
do too badly with the upset an-
gle himself.
Milligan fans, as well as others
in this area witnessed a one and
only afternoon game of the
season Saturday afternoon, as
the Buffs met the West Virginia
Tech Team in the Memorial
Stadium at 2:30 P. M. A large
crowd came out to see the Buffs
cavort in daylight and reported
to have seen something they
had missed all season because
of the dark . . .
A crowd of Irishmen at Nia-
gara Falls, while they were
viewing the falls, the guide said,
now, men, you are looking at
one of the grandest and most
marvelous sights of nature. It
is wonderful, simply wonderful.
One of the Irishmen said he
couldn't see anything wonderful
about it. The guide said, don't
you call it something wonderful
when you see such a volume of
water dashing over the Falls?
The Irishman said, ,why in the
devil wouldn't it go over, there's
nothing to stop it.

was close, but since about half
the team decided that they
could not spare the time from
their already neglected class-

recommendation that the squad
refuse the bid. His suggestion

the interdenominational home
for retired ministers and their
wives. We expect to cover
more than 2,000 miles in all and
will be traveling by chartered
bus.
Mr. Warner, our most able
director reminds us of the
purpose of this Tour:
1. To advertise, on the high-
est plane, the College which we
represent as a Christian institu-
tion which combines Christian
character building with a liberal
arts education.
2. To demonstrate to every
audience what may be achieved
in good choral music, with an
average group, but hard work.
and sincere effort.
3. To provide our audiences
with a musical program which,
it is hoped, will be inspirational.
4. To acquaint as many peo-
ple as possible with the kind of
choral training offered at Mil-
ligan College, so as to be of
service in this way to the young
people in the various Christian
churches, and others, who may
be interested in such training.
5. To provide the opportun-
ity for each member of the Col-
lege Choir to grow musically,
and in personality and char-
acter.
Every tour we learn just a
little more what to do and what
not to do in order to make a
successful tour. Included in the
rules this time are such things
as: "Absolutely no singing or
loud talking or laughing; Abso-
lutely no eating between meals,
except after the concert before
retiring.

POLICY
To promote school spirit, good sportsmanship, and

ARE YOU ONE?
No person enjoys hearing of the mistakes he makes.
No one who has any self-respect wants to be told that he
fails to show respect. No student at Milligan would like
to be told that he or she is causing too much confusion
iuring the chapel service. Yet there has been a lot of
:ommotion during our chapel programs, thus showing
disrespect to the speaker, to the faculty, and to those
sitting near the noisemakers. Unattentiveness while the
Bible is being read shows disrespect to God also. When
God speaks, we should be reverent.
From the tradition and background of Milligan, we
realize that chapel services are to be devotional in nature
and require a devotional attitude to make the service
mean the most. Scuffing of feet, squeaking the seats,
rattling paper, or whispering to some one does not show
reverence. When time has been spent preparing a pro-
gram and a speaker shows enough interest to give his
time to the chapel hour, the least all of us can do is to
be respectful and quiet. Perhaps, if we do not enjoy
it all, the person next to us will have an opportunity to
profit from this service if 'we are quiet and respectful.

VETS IN SCHOOL
According to the U. S. Census
Bureau, there were 1,300,000
veterans of World War II en-
rolled in schools last year. Mil-
ligan ranks high among small
schools; having 160 ex-GI's in
school.
1,000,000 TEACHERS WANTED
This country will need more
than a million new grade teach-
ers— approximately 100,000 a
year — for the next ten years.
That was the estimate made in
a teacher recruitment program
announced by a joint committee
of the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers and the
National Education Association
in Washington.
THE MINISTERIAL STUDENT
Milligan College has long been a training school for
Ministers of the Gospel of Christ. These men have gone
:rom Milligan with a strong loyalty and devotion to the
college, and over the years have sent back thousands of
lollars to keep Milligan on the job of giving all who come
lere a Christian outlook on life. Often this has meant
sacrifice for which each student who comes to Milligan
mast be appreciative.
The code of living for the minister is still high and
ve are privileged to print this high standard.

the beauty of Bellingrath gar-
dens, in Mobile, with its Span-
ish moss and flowers and
springs, the supper at the ele-

the first tour definitely remem-
ber the boat ride on the silver
water in Gulfport, Mississippi.
That ride was preceded by a
fine dinner of shrimp, and that

Milligan Ministers
Serve Large Area
Twelve ministerial students
have regular appointments and
are serving fourteen congrega-
tions in three states — Tennessee,
North Carolina and Virginia.
The preacher boys travel ap-
proximately nine hundred miles
a week to minister to over 1,000
people for an average of 81 per
congregation.
Claude Calloway is minister-
ing to the church at West Jef-
ferson, N. C.
David Rose serves two church-
es: Heaton and Foscoe, both in
North Carolina.
William Small is minister at
Bluff City, Tennessee.
Joe Sutherland, a freshman,
is pastor at Fourth Church John-
son City, Tennessee.
Paul Nourse also has two
churches: Bethel and Lilydale
near Erwin, Tennessee.
James Marshall has regular
preaching at Central Church,
Jonesboro, Tennessee.
Charles Fitzsimmons is pastor
at Gap Creek Church, near
Elizabethon, Tennessee.
Leroy Wright, a football play-
er and senior, minister to the
congregation near Bristol.
Chester Wiliams travels to
preach at Arden, North Carolina
Marshall Leggett has Union
Church, near Johnson City, Ten-
nessee. 9
Stuart Widner is doing splen-
did full-time work with the
Belvue Church, in Kingsport,
Tennessee.
Edward Hayes is full-time
minister at Brick Church near
Watauga, Tennesee.
Of this group, four are seniors,
six are juniors, one sophomore,
and one freshman.
A minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is:
1. Called of the Gospel to preach THE GOSPEL.
2. Courageous to preach it and LIVE it.
3. Kjndhearted, understanding, mild tempered,
always impressing others as a man of God.
4. Friendly with everyone he meets, be it saint
or sinner.
5. More interested in the welfare of others than
his own welfare. Always willing to sacrifice,
to share, to advise, and to help.
6. Dependent upon God in all things. Giving
praise to the name of Jesus Christ always.
7. So censecrated, so pure, so full of God's love
that people who meet him on the street will
say: "There is a man of God."
A person may know the Bible from cover to cover,
\e may be well versed in homiletics and in theology, but
mless he has the above qualities, the world will NOT
■ecognize him as a minister of the Gospel of Christ.
Why worry about what people think of you — unless
/ou have more confidence in their opinion than your own.

vords 'fore I lets 'em pass mah teeth."

God Has Never FORCED His Grace Upon Anyone
The utmost faith in anything will avail you nothing
unless you avail yourself of it. That goes for a bottle
of medicince — or religion.
There are two kinds of people — the HIGH and the
LOW. The HIGH kind keeps his nose in the air and is
too righteous to speak to those he considers beneath him.
The LOW kind is humble in the sight of man and God
because there is love in his heart,
Religion is worse than nothing unless it is practiced.
I shall not waver from the trial
That' God has marked for me.
For before me is the Call of Christ
Behind me — Calvary!
I shall not waver from the trail,
I have a job to do.
Though I may falter, stumble, fall.
I'll pray, and start anew!
However rough the trail may seem.
However dark it be.
The voice ahead speaks clearly: "Take
Thy Cross and follow Me."
The roughest spot lies far behind,
And that is Calvary's brow.
There Jesus bore His cross for me.
The going's easier now.
I shall not waver from the trial
Be it rough, or dark, or bright;
For when Sundown comes, He'll take my hand
And lead me through the night.
Any religion that is not good enough to live by is
certainly not good enough to die by.
—Stuart Widner.

declared his own determination
not to "prejudice his children in
any form of religion, but to al-

Coleridge's answer was: "Why
prejudice a garden in favor of

There is a group of young

Choir, announces that a con-
cert will be given in the College
auditorium, tonight at 8 o'clock.

Explanation Of The
Quality-Point System
The requirements for the de-
gree are computed not only in
semester hours but also in qual-
ity points. Quality points are
the points earned by a student,
according to his grades:
Grade A receives 4 quality
points for each semester hour.
Grade B receives 3 quality
points for each semester hour.
Grade C receives 2 quality
points for each semester hour.
Grade D receives 1 quality
point for each semester hour.
Grade F receives no quality
points.
In order to graduate a student
must have a two point hour
ratio. The point hour ratio is
determined by dividing the total
number of points earned in a
given semester by the number
of hours in which the student
is enrolled during that semester.
If, for example, the student has
earned thirty-nine points on
fifteen hours of work, his point
hour ratio would be 39 divided
by 15 equals 2.6.
In case a student carrying fif-
teen hours of work withdraws
from a three-hour course with
a mark of Wp, his point-hour
ratio would then be determined
by dividing the total number of
points by twelve instead of fif-
teen. However, if he withdraws
from a course with a grade of
F, the ratio would be determin-
ed by dividing the number of
points earned by the total num-
ber of hours for which he re-
gistered.
Grades earned in the past will
be evaluated in terms of the
foregoing system.
Dramatic Club
Everyone who witnessed the
production of "The Goose Hangs
High" presented by the Milli-
gan College Players in the col-

acters gave a fine performance
under the direction of Dr. Jen-
nie Lorenz.
The cast included Bennie

What a day! One thing I can
say for this place, there is never
a dull moment. I can remem-
ber back in the summer when I
was wishing for something, to
do, and now I find myself wish-
ing for a moment in which I
can do absolutely nothing. It
must be wonderful to be able to
sleep in the morning until you
wake up — but Christmas vaca-
tion will soon be here and maybe
then I can catch up on my sleep.
One of the fellows around here
the other day heard me talking
and said I needed to catch up
on my beauty sleep. I guess
that shows me what people
think of ME.
Of all the crazy things around
this place, to me the weather
takes the cake. One never
knows what to expect — rain,
sleet, snow or shine. All that I
know anything about are rain
and shine. Honestly, I feel like
I have been tricked on the
weather. I came all the way up
here to see some snow and here
it is the first of December with
no snow yet. If that isn't mean!
I wonder how far north I have
to go to see snow. It isn't that
we don't have snow in Missis-
sippi— it just comes so seldom
that I forgot what the stuff
looks like before it comes again,
(and even at that it only stays
on the ground long enough to
get a fleeting glimpse.)
Well diary, I don't know what
I am going to do about my les-
sons. It just seems that I never
have time to study. What do
I do out of class? Well, after
all, my extracuricular activities
and my social life must go on.
I thought for a while I would
neglect everything else and
study some, but everyone tells
me never to let my studies in-
terfere with my social life.
There's an expression that
goes, "Some have it and some
don't" and I have fully decided
that I don't." All year long I
have been trying to find my
"hidden" talent but I guess it
is too well hidden. I surely
can't play or sing (so I've been
told).
I can talk, but it is usually
something foolish. I have just
searched high and low and the
only thing I find I can do is
blow bubble gum — but who
would get to be president's wife
blowing bubbles?
My roommate is standing over
me with a gun so I guess I had
better stop and go to bed.
"What a day this has been . . .
It's almost like being in love"

with a blue Buick convertible.

just consider the source!)

"MISSISSIPPI"
A Mountain Journey — Not Too From From Home
It was the 10:50 train we took to the little mountain
town of Relief, North Carolina. Our mission was to assist
a small mountain church. Now I know why they called
the town Relief— after riding the forty miles in an hour
and a half on that train.
In some coaches, the seats were covered with leather.
The ones we sat on wore a wine-colored plush covering
which could have done with a bit of cleaning. The car
ceiling had the smoke of many years clinging to it. Once
upon a time, the lights had been oil lamps. They were '
converted into electric lights now. The smell of the
train wes equalled to that which came from a hand-rolled
cigarette held in the long, stringy, fingers of a hard-
looking female occupant who sat gazing out of the dirty
windows.
Only the scenery and the hope of arriving at our
destination, made the trip bearable. The mountains stood
bravely as if each were daring to be conquered. Toe River
followed very closely by the railroad tracks carrying its
water in the opposite direction over rocks and rapids.
Along the edge of the water protruded huge rocks. The
trees on the hills were stripped of their foliage. The bends
in the river were traced by the train until the train
straightened into a little valley and brought us to the mina-
ture station of Relief, North Carolina.

Statistics
I The Milligan College Buffa-
■ loes finished up one of their most
| successful years in football last
>: week as they played to a score-
; less tie against the East Tennes-
see College Bucaneers. This
last game marked the end of an
eleven game schedule with not
a single breather on the list-
Here's some statistical dope on
the 1948 Buffaloes: In the pas-
sing department, Claude Hols-
claw was the passer for the
Buffs until he left the lineup
; folowing the Stetson game. Then
the passing chores fell on the
shoulders of Johnny Carr, full-
back, Frank Dumisinecz, quar-
terback, Don Lamber and Dick
Kennedy, both halfbacks. Carr
lead the parade in pass com-
pletions for the year .and Lam-
bert and Bible passed for touch-
downs. These two touchdown
passes, both in the Carson New-
man game, were the only aerial
scores for the Buffs all year.
All told, the Buffs racked up
21 touchdowns for the year, and
booted nine extra points. Dick
Kennedy led the scoring parade
with six tallies, however, Johnny
Carr was hard on his heels with
five. Here's the way the scor-

FINISH FOOTBALL CAREERS
The end of the football season marked the end of col-
lege football participation for four of the Buffs. Four
seniors played their last game for the Orange and Black
this year against East Tennessee State. They are Charlie
D'Agata, Jack Caldwell, -Ed Laws, and Joe Cram.
The performance of all four on the gridiron has been

season. Their departure from

• Even a tackle figured in the
scoring this season. Bufford
Calhoun scooped up an at-
tempted lateral in the Carson-
Newman game, and carried the
ball across for a score.
Sam Pridon who was the
extra point "Toe" this year
kicked 8 points after touch-
downs, and Claude Holsclaw
booted the other.
In the pass interception de-
partment, George Dugger and
Don Lamber lead the parade.
Dugger gathered in six way-
ward aerials this season, and
Lambert ran a close second with
5. Jack Caldwell captured four
enemy passes, and Dick Kennedy
had three. Don Jones, an end,
shared in the pass-interception
honors with two for the year.
Frank Dumisinecz had three in- -,
terceptions for the year.
Jack Caldwell led the team in
recovering opponents' fumbles,
having fallen of six during the
season. Don Jones runs second
in this department with four.
Buford Calhoun and Frank
Dumisinecz have two recoveries
each to their credit, and Kyle
Middleton, Leroy Wright, and
Dick Kennedy recovered one
each.

Buffaloes Facing
Rugged Schedule
The Milligan College Buffaloes
are working hard now in pre-
paration for the opening of the
rapidly approaching basketball
season.
Prospects are looking good for
the Buffs, who had the whole
area taking notice last year
with its winning ways. Eight
lettermen are back on the squad,
and many new prospects are
working hard for a berth on the
varsity.
Among the returning letter-
men are Kenny Hyder, who
scored 587 points last season,
'Kyle Middleton, another high
scorer, Sid Hathaway, Carl
Gouge, Carl Shepherd, Bill Sim-
mons, Paul Griz, Dick Kennedy.
Leading the parade of new-
comers to the squad is rangy,
six feet six, Walace Roberts from
Pound, Virginia. Roberts can
really move around on the court
despite his height Last year
Roberljs played independent
basketball for the famous Rob-
erts Brothers team. Other good
prospects are working out also.
Among them are John Ammer-
man. Bill Howard, Henry
Wright Frank Dumisinecz, Sam
Pridon, Carl Cagle, and Mike
Kostko.
A rugged schedule confronts
the Buffs as they will have to
try hard to live up to the repu-
tation that they established last
season. In the past year, they
racked up a total of 2,762 points,
winning thirty-three games, and
dropping ten, including tourna-
ment play. The Buffs partici-
pated in three tournaments last
season. They were The Smoky
Mountain Conference Tourna-
ment The Volunteer State Con-
ference Tournament and the N.
A. L B. Tourney in Cleveland,
Mississippi.
On the schedule for this year
are such rugged opponents as
Marshall College and William
and Mary College. The Buffs
will meet both these teams on
a road trip the latter part of
December.
An extensive trip into Flordia
is planned for the Buffs just
prior to Christmas, however all
the details have not been worked
out as yet and Coach Yancey is
trying to schedule a game with
the University of Miami in
Miami.
This will be the second year
for Yancy at the helm of basket-
ball procedures. He integrated
a group of freshmen and sop-
homores last season into a
smooth working unit, and as
usual, bigger things yet are ex-
pected of his coaching this
season.
A fool there was, and fools,
there'll be:
Perhaps among them there's you
and me.
But a fool donl have to be one
'til he dies:
I'm joining with others to learn
to be wise.
Ever notice? People stand up
when they hear the national an-
them— and fall down when they
start to sing it
Almost always it's the fellow
who is too slow in his work
who thinks he is overworked.

MILLIGAN COLLEGE, TENNESSEE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1948
MINOR SUBJECTS NOW 18 HOURS
The requirements for majors and minors were revised
by the Academic Committee at their meeting on December
6. The new requirements will apply to all present Fresh-
men and Sophomores, and is strongly recommended for
Juniors and Seniors where possible of attainment.
The semester hours required for a major remains at 24.
The two minor subjects must each include not less than
18 semester hours instead of the previous 12 hours.
This change brings Milligan in line with other south-
ern colleges on this requirement, as revealed in a recent
survey. It will further make it easier for the student in
teacher -training to meet requirements for certification.
Under the past arrangement each student meeting the
requirements for an Arts Degree automatically had two
minors without any selection on his part.
It is usually wise to select minors which have a
relation to the major field of study.

Record Enrollment
In Colleges
Based on a comprehensive
survey, the New York Times
reports that enrollment in Am-
erican colleges and universities
this year shows an increase of
50,000 students. This is better
than two percent above the en-
rollment last year.
The future seems to be
brightened with the encourag-
ing note that America's young
people are still ingathering, in
record breaking" numbers to the
institutions of higher learning.
Especially is this true, now that
the effect of the government
financial aid program for vet-
erans has begun to decline.
Confident that student bodies
will go on becoming larger,
educators are commencing to
make plans for expansion.
This all-time high in enroll-
ments has caught colleges and
universities unprepared to meet
the demand placed upon them.
Since the numbers of students
are ever increasing, overcrowd-
ed conditions are more acute
than ever. If these large num-
bers continue to flock to our
schools of higher learning,
many people believe that the
crowded conditions will lead
into general building programs.
If these facilities are provided,
the future years will likely re-
duce educational costs through
better efficiency, and thereby
stimulate still greater concern
among the young people of
America.
Practical Course In
Religious Education
Plans are being made whereby
Milligan is to have a laboratory
course for Bible majors. The
young people will work in co-
operation with Superintendent
Parman of the East Tennessee
Christian Home at Elizabethton.
Classes will be scheduled in the
same manner as classes in dir-
ected teaching and credit will
be given for satisfactory work
This will give practical train-
ing for those preparing for mis-
sion fields, and ministerial sec-
retaries. Opportunities will be
afforded for religious dramatics
and the study of child develop-
ment
Report From Choir
It was early one morning in
Daytona Beach when one Mil-
ligan choir member crept out pf
bed, dessed hurriedly, left the
room and made her way across
the street to the beach. The
velvet ocean breeze swept softly
about her. The blue waters of
the Atlantic rolled lightly into
shore. The waves broke easily
and a few white clouds floated
gayly above the water. Fifteen
fishing boats could be seen on
the horizon. Several early
morning sight-seers drove over
the sandy beach viewing the
magnificent creation of God.
One Floridian, clad in swim
trunks and a sport shirt strode
toward the shallow water with
fishing equipment in hand. See-
ing the Milliganite wearing a
lightweight suit, he remarked,
"My but you look like a breath
of winter. Where are you from?"
This, of course brought forth
an explanation from the con-
cert tour.
On down the beach the singer
strolled. The song in her heart
poured forth to God in the
form of a spoken prayer: "God
in heaven, make me as the ocean
waves, always steady, forever
consistent in my work."
The early-riser looked at her
watch. Why, it was time for
breakfast! The girls would
think the ocean had swallowed
her. Back up the shoreline she
went with her arms outstretched
as if carried by the breeze. The
rain softly touched her face for
a few minutes. One more long-
ing look at the deep blue and
then up the steps to the street.
What a beautiful world God
made.'

start with the team racking up
three wins against three defeats
so far this season.
The season's opener was with
the Lees-McRae Bobcats from

fast work of them to the tune
of 71-38. Lanky Wallace Rob-
erts led the scoring with 32
points for the evening.
Next on the list was Smallings,

LET NOTHING US DISMAY

The world does move and, we suppose, Santa Claus
must move with it. Thus it comes as no great surprise
that a school for Santa Clauses is operating in Upstate
New York. Department stores send men to the school.
The founder, dean and one-man faculty is an un-
whiskered, middle-aged farmer who teaches in the parlor
of his family homestead. Classes are kept small— never
more than 10 men— and altogether about 175 St. Nicks have
been graduated since 1937.
It is good news that no one has ever flunked, but we
doubt that we shall ever again be completely cheered at
Christmas time until we run into a Santa Claus with a
degree — cum laude, we hope.
Chirstmas Is Giving
The spirit of Christmas is giv-
ing— not getting. The selfish
motives of exchange seem to
have detracted from the beauty
of the season.
Business men do not enjoy
the holiday if they do not make
a large profit; the wife finds
grounds for divorce if she does
not receive the mink coat from
the husband;and Junior lies on
his back and kicks his heels if
the pony is not waiting- when
he arises Christmas morning.
Contary to this, the Yuletide
Season should be one of bestow-
ment. About two thousand
years ago, God GAVE His Son
to us and the child Jesus was
introduced to a world that was
to require much sacrifice of
Him.
The wise men traveled far
and were the first to celebrate
His birth by GIVING Him gifts.
Indeed, Christmas began with
the spirit of giving. Today the
real Christmas is still one of
giving.

before being promoted to the

"STRENGTH TO STAND IN THE GAP" . . .
A few days ago, a Christian minister and member of
the Board of Trustees of Milligan College, stood before
this school and spoke a very pertinent message. As is the
usual custom with preachers, Mr. J. J. Musick -took a text
from Scripture— Hebrew 11:24. It concerned the faith of
Moses the magnificent, in whom humanity had a noble
peak and God a great ambassador. From out the majestic
processional of the heroes of faith in the Old Testament,
Moses, said the preacher in chapel, lived by faith — and
faith was the principle of his every action. By faith Moses
gave to the Jews a unity of law, morality, a standard to
live by, and a worship of God. He was conqueror, de-
liverer, lawgiver, in short, the instrument of God- By
this motivating force of faith, Moses shaped a nation out
of a Mob, and left his indelible mark upon all humanity.
. . . And so, the preacher's story continued about
Moses, erroneously called "the son of Pharoah's daughter."
But it seems to us that the most significant thing that
Mr. Musick said was that we of Milligan College are heirs
of that very faith which so unmistakably distinguished
the heroes of the ages. He went on to say that our link
with the faithful in times past is not broken. Our herit-
age is a priceless thing. By the reaffirmation of faith in
the open minds and willing hands of such builders of
Christian character as Josephus and Sarah Hopwood, the
dream of a Christian College on the banks of the Buffalo
found fruition. By faith, Milligan College has been built,
using as material of its structure, an undimmed trust in
God, constant prayer, labor, sacrifice, and money through
the generosity of impartial hearts. It was these things
that went into the school's eventful sixty-six year-old
history.
We believe, as the chapel speaker rather emphatically
suggested, that Milligan needs students rather emphatically
in tune with the sacred traditions upon which this institu-
tion so securely rests. And those whose sympathy runs
counter to these traditions, are, to employ a term in com-
mon use today, 'displaced persons.'
Especially striking was one phrase in the closing pray-
er of Mr. Musick: "Lord, give us strength to stand in the
gap between the heroes of faith in the past and the Chris-
tian ideals of the future." As we set our faces to a new
semester and a new year-1949, the message of these words
are deserving of our constant consideration.
Through faith as the principle of action, let us at Mil-
ligan College "have strength to stand in the gap-"
—CLAUDE CALLAWAY.
Says Santa's Helper
As Santa's helper I run into
all kirids of Christmas mail.
There are letters asking for
roller skates, dolls, cowboy
suits and — yes ,even baby sis-
ters. While these are fun to
read, the best letters come from
College students who still be-
lieve in Santa Claus despite all
the rumors to the contrary.
In looking over a load of mail
that just arrived from Milligan
College, I find a number of re-
quests that will be almost im-
possible to fill. Fifty per cent
of the letters ask for the re-
turn of their mad loves they
left behind One letter reads,
"Just a little lovin' over the
holidays is all I ask. Santa,
but if you feel in a particularly
generous mood, I wouldn't mind
a bit if you threw in a new
over-coat, a '49 Memc, a pair of
slippers, a new sport shirt, a
17 jewel Gruen, a portable Royal
and maybe some ties. On second
thought, forget the ties. My
aunts '11 furnish enough of
these.
That guy doesn't want much,
does he? How'd Santa ever get
all that in a fellow's stocking?
Not all the letters are alto-
gether selfish either. Some ask
for things for others — particul-
arly for their Profs. For ex-
ample:
Dear Santa: Please instill in
Mr. Boyadjis a little of that
Christmas spirit so that in
grading the late test papers he
will be just a little bit lenient.
After all, why shouldn't a 55
be a "C"?
And another:
Dear Santa: ' All I want for
Christmas is for California to
take the Rose Bowl on New
Years. Oh, yes, give Oregon a
little push too. Thanks. C.
LePere.
As good insurance for getting
what you want Christmas morn-
ing, it's always good to leave a
coke in the ice box for ole Santa.
Make This a Safe
Holiday Season
Because of the alarming num-
ber of automobile accidents in-
volving college students and
drivers of college age, I am ap-
pealing to the Students of Mil-
ligan College to make this a
safe holiday season.
Too many American homes
are saddened every day by
disastrous accidents involving
younger members of the family'
We all know that autmobiles,
used properly, are one of the
greatest blessings bestowed up-
on us by our advancing tech-
nology, but that driven care-
lessly, or recklessly, cars become
a deadly weapon.
Here's a question that might
help you keep your knowledge
of what CAN happen uppermost
in your mind whenever you
drive.
Would you bet $24,000,000—
if you had it — on the chance of
winning $1?
Sounds silly, perhaps, but con-
sider. The average 20-year old
may anticipate 24,000,000 min-
utes of life. These are the
reasonable expectations, provid-
ing no accident occurs to upset
the statistics, according to the
data supplied by Lumberman's
Mutual Casualty Company.
Obviously then, when you
jump a light, cut in and out of
heavy traffic or speed, you are
gambling all these millions of
minutes just to save one.
On the dollar basis, you'll ad-
mit the gamble wouldn't be
worthwhile. Why should it be
otherwise on a flesh-and-blood
basis?

I have before me the Decem-

THE FLIRT . . .
The boys at Milligan College are flirts! If you don't
think so, ask the girls who work behind the cafeteria
counter.
The passes that the fellows make at them vary from
"cat-calls" to almost dragging the poor girls across the
serving table. There is always one character at every
' meal that stalls the line while he grins, winks, or paws at
the girls. Others are so intrigued at a smile from one of
them that they drag their ties through the gravy, pull
their coats sleeves through the soup in general, cause
havoc.
The girls stand stoicly behind the safe railings of the
counter and try to abide by the Waitress' Code of "serving
with a smile," but underneath their breath they are say-
ing words unfit for print.
A remedy for this situation would be for these girls
to organize a "Lonely Hearts Club" and give the lunch-
line-Romeos large pictures on the front page of their
catalog.
Paul Nourse: Did you pass Junior: Our professor talks
your exam? to himself. Does yours?
Eddie Barnes: Well, it was Freshman: Yes, but he doesn't
like this — you see — realize it — he thinks we're lis-
Paul: Shake! Neither did L tening-

BASKETBALL ON THE ROAD
Highlights of Buff Travel Trip
The Buffs took off for big-
,time competition last week,
playing the Welsh Moose, Mar-
shall College, The Roanoke
^Rebels, and winding up the stiff
schedule with William and
Mary.
After classes on December
ainth, the team composed of
twelve players, Coach Yancey,
John Keffer, Donnie Miller,
Owen Alley, and Frank Brogden
departed for Bluefield, West
Virginia, their first stop on the
long journey. Players making
the trip were: Kenny Hyder,
Sid Hathaway, Paul Griz, Kirby
Laughlin, Frank Dumasinecz,
Dick Kennedy, Bill Simmons,
Carl Gouge, Carl Shepherd, Sam
Pridon, Wallace Roberts, and
Kyle Middleton.
The team moved over to North
Pork, West Va„ that night to
-neet the Welsh Moose Club.
The Moose Club was composed
of former college stars, led by
'Scotty" Hamilton- He was
<U1-American at the University
)f West Virginia. The Moose
jot off to a fast start, but the
3uffs matched them point for
joint up until the half. As the
.earns left the floor for the in-
.ermission, the Moose were lead-
ng 26-24- In the third and last
quarters, however, the Buffs
'orged ahead to stay, and the
:'inal score stood 72-51. Wallace
Roberts was the high scorer
f.'or the Buffs with fourteen
joints, but high scoring honors
ror the evening went to Hamil-
on who scored a total of twenty
loints, most of them with an
incanny overhead set-shot.
On the morning of the tenth,
he team left Bluefield and
leaded for Huntington, West
/irginia. In Huntington, they
;tayed at the Hotel Huntington.
That night they met the Thun-
lering Herd of Marshal College.
The game was played in the
ladio Center, and it was packed
or the Marshall's debut. A
Towd of 4,000 witnessed the
,'ame, with about 1,000 others be-
ng turned away.
■ Marshall sports one of the
>est teams in the nation, and
.hey showed the Buffs that ihey
lad not been over-rated in pre-
:eason notices. The Buffs gave
■hem a valiant battle, but the
;coreboard read Mashall 70 Mil-
igan 50 when the final gun
;ounded. The Marshall cagers
;ot off to aroaring start, and at
lalf-tirne, they led the Buffs
13-28. When the Buffs rehired
.o the floor for the second half,
hey started to shorten the lead
.hat Marshall had piled up. At
me time late in the third quar-
.er, the Buffs came within seven
joints of the "Big Green," but
lie offensive magic of the Mar-
shall cagers began to click once
more, and they moved on to
post a twenty point lead as the
game ended.
Snow greeted the team as they
prepared to leave Huntington
for Roanoke the next morning.
All day the three cars drove
the treacherous roads but every-
one made it through the snow
safely. That night, the team
met the Old Dominion Rebels
in the Municipal Auditorium.
Another big crowd was on hand
to witness the game, the at-
tendance being approximately
2,000.
Roanoke sported a starting
five of former college standouts.
Once again the Buffs faced
"Scotty" Hamilton, who had
journeyed from Welsh to play
for the Rebels. Other standouts
for the Rebels were Buscar,
who made All Southern Confer-
ence while at V. P. I, and Grey
who starred at the University
of West Virginia,
The Buffs got off to a slow
start, and they couldn't catch
the classy Rebels as the game
proceeded. The Buffs stayed
hot on the heels of their opposi-
tion, moving to within 4 points
of the lead at one time, but
they could never completely
close the gap. The final score
stood Rebels 63-Milligan 54.
The last game on the trip
was with William and Mary in
Williamsburg, Virginia. The
Indians were playing their third
game of the season, having de-
feated their first three oppon-
ents. The Buffs matched the
Indians point for point in the
first few minutes of play, but
big Chet Giermak, lanky center
and captain of the Indians be-
gan pouring the points through
the net. At the half the Indians
led the Buffs 28-17.
The Buffs returned to 'the
floor, and began a drive that fell
only seven points short of de-
feating William and Mary. The
Indians saw their margin of the
first half slowly melt away, and
it was only in the last three
minutes that they iced the game
with three quick baskets by the
uncanny Giermak. The final
score was William and Mary 55
Milligan 45' High point man for
the Buffs was Kyle Middleton
who had ten points to his credit.
But once again, the Buff high
scorer was shaded by the oppon-
ent's leading point-maker, Chet
Giermak who laced the nets for
a total of 24 points.
After staying on the William
and Mary campus Saturday
night as guests of the school, the
Buffs started the long trip back
home, arriving at Milligan late
Sunday evening a tired but
wiser ball club. They had lost
three game, but they had lost
to the best, and they didn't give
up without battling their op-
ponents down to the finish wire.
SPORT BRIEFS . . .
By' Frank Brogden
Football season is all over and
done with here at Milligan, but
we cannot pass over the events
of the past season without put-
ting in a good word for the two
freshman team coaches — Henry
Simmons and Claude Holsclaw.
Both "Hosie" and "Hobe" show-
ed their mettle as future coaches
of their own teams as they dir-
ected the freshmen to two wins
and one loss for the season.
They won over Emory-Henry
freshmen and East Tennessee
State freshmen. Their loss was
to Less-McRea College in Ban-
ner Elk, North Carolina.
ANNUAL FOOTBALL BANQUET
Many Awards Given for Outstanding
Achievements of the Season
After hitting fairly easy going
in their first two performances,
the Buff basketeers ran up
against top rate competition
when they met Marshall College
on December 9, the Roanoke
Rebels, December 10 and the
William and Mary Indians on
the 11th. Marshall holds the
West Coast National Intercol-
legiate Championship in basket-
ball, having won that honor in
Los Angeles last year. They
will return to Los Angeles this
year to defend their campion-
ship.
Reports have reached the
Athletic office that another Mil-
ligan .basketeer is making good
as a cocah. He is Larry Varnell
of Adamsville, Tennessee. Var-
nell lettered in basketball and
baseball four years while at
Milligan. He is now coaching
at Regis College, Denver, Col-
orado. While in the navy, his
Norfolk Naval Station team won
the National Service Champion-
ship in basketball and in Hawaii
his cage squad captured the
Pacific Fleet Championship for
two successive years- In the
two years as coach at Regis,
Varnell 's teams have won 27
out of 40 games and have scored
2,249 points to their opponent's
1,819.
Wallace- "Bill Monroe" Rob-
erts, Pound, Virginia, and Kyle
"Shorty" Middleton, Strawberry
Plains, Tenn., lead the basket-
ball boys v of Milligan in height.
Roberts is 6'-6%" and Middle-
ton is 6'-6W
Wallace, a freshman, was high
scorer against Lees-McRae with
12 points. In addition to his
offensive power, he is a good
ball-handler and defense player.
In the William and Mary game
last Saturday, Middleton led the
Buff scorers with 10 points.
Middleton ranked third last year
in scoring and he is expected to
start dropping them in for a
record this year.
The Milligan" football team
held their annal banquet at the
Roan Restaurant, Johnson City,
Monday evening, November 29,
1948. The affair was held in
the private dining room with
all the varsity and the second
team present along with the
girl friends. The banquet was
the most colorful and outstand-
ing in many years.
Showing a somewhat keen
sense of judgment, Toastmaster
Charles Akard, dispensed with
all speech making until after the
meal. Everyone enjoyed the
steak, french fries, new peas,
fruit salad and cherry pie
a la mode.
Mr. Akard then introduced
the vistors and presented the
speaker of the evening, Mr.
George Kelly, editor of the
Press-Chronicle. Mr. Kelly prais-
ed the Buffs for the fine record
of the past season and stresed
the ever-expanding Milligan ath-
letic program. "Expanding in
1948," he said, "from the banks
of the Buffalo Creek to the Gulf
of Mexico."
Mr. Frank Hannah, chairman
of the Milligan Board of Trust-
ees, made a few remarks com-
plimenting the Buffs on their
nine wins, one loss and one tie
for the year.'s work.
The toastmaster then turned
the proceedings over to Coach
Yancey who in turn presented
the 1948 Milligan team and an-
nounced the winners of honors
for performance during the
season.
Jack Caldwell was presented
a jacket for the leading team
in the number of enemy fum-
bles recovered. Coach Sprakcr
make this award. Mr- Yancey
then presented George Dugger
with a jacket for leading in
passe interceptions for the year.
Leroy Wright and Charlie
D'Agata were nominated by the
team as their nominees for the
annual award of the sportsman-
ship trophy. D'Agata also re-
ceived recognition as the "out-
standing athletic and scholar"
and thereby became the team's
nominee for the annual award
of that trophy.
In an earlier vote by the
team to elect the outstanding

Academic Standing
The academic committee has
revised the minimum academic
standing for re-enrollment. To
re-enroll next fall, freshmen
must have a point-hour ratio of
12; sophomores 1.5, junior 1.8.
For graduation, seniors must
have a ratio of 2.0. This gra-
duated scale eliminates the sud-
den change from a low standard
for sophomores to a high stand-
ard for juniors.
Because of the importance of
the point-hour ratio in determin-
ing re-enrollment, graduation,
honor rolls, and sholarship
winners, it is important that
every student at all times know
his cumulative ratio.
SEVENTY-FIVE STUDENTS RANK
HONORS FOR FIRST SEMESTER
All students whose names appear on the honor rolls are to
be congratulated for the fine record which they are compiling.
The faculty members have each set aside a conference hour
each week. This should be an opportunity for the student to
improve his work by talking individually with the instructor.
Yet, it is noticeable that the students who most need this help
use it least. This same generalization could be applied to work
in the library.
It is sincerely hoped that the new program of faculty advisors
will be a real help and guidance and will result in better acad-
emic work. The student's name and faculty advisor is posted
on the bulletin board.

Student Courtesy
Needed At Chapel
All of us here at Milligan
probably have some special lit-
tle something about the activi-
ties that we cherish more than
others. After talking with some
of the other students, I fina
that many of our Milligan fam-
ily cherish the two days we
have chapel more than any of
the other daily routines. Sup-
pose we try to understand why
chapel means so much to some
of our fellow classmates.
Milligan is a college where we
come to get an education that
includes Jesus Christ. We want
not only an education, but a
Christian education. Perhaps
through our weekly chapel pro-
grams we help make that Chris-
tian education possible in a
small degree. As we pause from
our hurry from one class to an-
other in history, English, typing
or what have you, we go into
the auditorium for thirty short
minutes to learn a little of the
Word of God.
I think perhaps we too often
think of chapel as just another
compulsory meeting. Actually,
young people, we are privileg-
ed to have the opportunity to
participate in such programs.
There in the chapel program
each week are not only our fel-
low classmates and teachers, but
a very special guest, God Him-
self. We all know the reverence
we should pay to God, but as
we often forget that God is
there, we also forget to pay the
reverence due Him.
As "the Word of God is being
read and proclaimed and as
prayer to God is being offered,
we should never forget the at-
titude we owe the Christ. These
chapel programs should be pro-
grams in which each of us
share and enjoy alike ,and with
a little effort on the part of
each of us, we can have such
chapel programs.
As we enter the chapel each
week, may we remember the
presence of God there as we
are there, and may we conduct
ourselves in the Christ-like way.
As these programs mean so
much to a few already, let us
strive to find a place of im-
portance in the lives of each of
us here at Milligan College.

Life Is A Great
Adventure ....
Life, spelled with a capital
"L" to emphasize its import-
ance, can be a great adventure.
One should approach each day
with an open mind and a glad
heart to seek out the mysteries
and wonders of the universe.
It takes keen eyes and an alert
mind to really catch the glimpse
of beauty of a bird on wing, the
bud of a flower, or the endless
gossiping of the trees as they
wave branches to and fro with
a gentle persuasion from the
wind which is anxious to hear
the latest news.
Do not be afraid to listen to
the song of a bird. Take time to
drink in the beauty of the world
about you. It is the only way
to fill a pool of happiness.
Notice the warm smile of a
friend. Even though he greets
one every day in the same man-
ner, it is still heart-felt and
deserves more than a nod in
return. How much Hghter one's
load would seem if he would
make it a game to see how
many times a day he could
relax his face into a smile and
try to have at least one hearty
laugh at a truly humorous
incident.
Look into the future full of
hope and faith in the Almighty.
One will come to understand
why others get so much out of
life in the way of peace and
joy. He will know why the
birds can sing, and have an
idea of what the trees are
gossiping.
Behold the mighty works of
God and examine the deeds of
men. God's handiwork is per-
fect, but man's deeds need ever
to be urged to greater accom-
plishments. The greatest song
is yet to be written; the best
friend is yet to be made; the
noblest deed must yet be done,
but most important of any of
these is the fact that one has
yet to live his life.
A wholesome outlook on the
matter formulates a vital factor
Df whether or not that life will
be worth recording on one or
more pages.
A life that is clean and above
reproach is an ideal for which to
strive. By adding these to one's
pattern, it is possible to fill
daily living with peace and joy
and find himself in the pos-
session of a vast storehouse of
cherished memories on which
to draw in sadder moments.
Thus, it is a challenge and
adventure, launching out into
the deep in search of the Golden
Fleece — happiness.

away's face when one little girl
from State sang in Chapel a
few days ago?
Dumie was so worried because
his girl back home hadn't writ-
ten him in three whole days
that he drove all the way to
West Virginia to see her over
the weekend.
Doris Duff and Dot Riddle
both agree that Joe is synonp-
mous with "happiness."
Jimmy Sublett lost no time
getting on the inside track with
Nurse Crawford, though num-
erous of the boys manufactured
some sort of "ill" just for an
excuse to visit her.
Don Lambert was seen with
former Milliganite Nell Ketron
Saturday night. That boy real-
ly gets around.
If you have any problems and
live in Cheek Hall, you might
try calling on Louis Glowackie
Anthony, who'll try to come
through with a solution. Louis
is also tops when it comes to
writing love letters we've heard.
Janie, the clouds are sure to
roll by sooner or later, so there's
really no need of wearing that
raincoat all the time. Or do you
have some ulterior motive? And
then there's Tweedie.
And we'd like to take this
opportunity to offer our con-
gratulations, Bo. Alice is real-
' ly A-l.
Everybody on campus seems
to be happy that Betty Smith-
son has taken a turn of thought,
especially Herman! Amon
McSwords has recovered nicely
from the shock, we think
Have you noticed him around
Martha Roe of late
Be sure to note the editorial
concerned with welcoming new
students in this issue. Milly
Keeler is well qualified to write
it since she has done more than
her share in making the new
students feel at home.
If you listen very carefully as
you go through the lunch line
the next time, you may catch
Gwen Morelock humming a
strain of "He's Just My Bill"
Who is this mysterious crea-
ture, Gwen?
My, how these new girls give
the fellas a thrill! A good ex-
ample is the fair maid from
Chicago, Ginny Snyder. What
IS her secret?
' Well, well . . . For proof that
bachelors do weaken — Jo Spratt
has been holding her own with
Joe Cessna lately. More power
to you, Jo!
It's probably old news by now
that Leroy Wright went to
Mississippi with Mary Perry for
a visit several week-ends ago.
You know what they say about
the suitor going to meet the
girl's parents!
Visitors on the campus last
week were John Hasty, Bob
Rhea, Paul Semmler, and Milton
Hobbs, Charlotte Hobbs* big
brother. They all came down
from points north to visit, and
seem to have given several of
the girls large charges.
By the .way, did you know
that a new male is now with
us? Six feet seven inches tall,
104 pounds, red hair — sounds in-
teresting, no? See Charlotte
Hobbs for particulars. She
might even arrange an intro-
duction, Name's "George."
What special attraction does
John Ammerman find in the
President's house nowadays?
Ditto John Caldwell.
If you don't think he's a pret-
ty wonderful person, just ask
Delores Burnett. Of whom am
I speaking? Why, Winifred Fair
of course.
Is Ruby Berryman camera shy
or is it that she just likes to be
coaxed? No one seems to know
but Ralph Derting — or Willy
Johnson might be able to give
us a clue.
Dot Hendershot seems to have
left her heart in Florida on the
last choir tour. Her theme song
now is "Danny Boy" — and he's
a coastguardsman too!
Thelma Gwin likes State
College better. Should we
GRANT her that privilege?

Milligan College Then
— And The School Now
The following article was
found by one of our students,
Charles H. Fitzsimmons, while
looking through some old news-
papers owned by his family.
The newspaper, "The Moun-
taineer," is dated Friday, August
17, 1900. This paper was pub-
lished by W. R. Fitzsimmons
and C. H. Fitzsimmons, great-
uncle and grandfather of our
student, Charles. For many
years this was the only news-
paper published in Carter Coun-
ty, Tennessee:
"Why Go To Milligan College?"
1. The college has good teach-
ers. Men and women of safe
Christian character, able,
willing and conscientious.
2. Board can be had in good
families as low as $7.50 per
month, and clubs can make
cheaper rates than that.
3. The place is beautiful and
healthy.
4. The college has a good
library and reading room
which a librarian keeps open
all day. The library is a
school work shop.
5. The moral and Christian in-
fluence of the college is of
the best. All of the teachers
are active Christians. No
one of them used tobacco
in any form.
6. There is a good will and
fellowship between students
and teachers which makes
the school safer and happier.
7. There is a first class music
teacher whose work has been
tested for six years in the
same school and stands with
the best of the Southern
schools.

alogue.

Work, characteristics, and
qualifications for missionaries
was the topic of discussion at
the January meeting of the
Service Seeks held on the thir-
teenth at nine o'clock in Hardin
Hall.
Miss Welshimer told the group
of some experiences of mis-
sionaries in Tibet and India, and
of the great need for workers
there. Four or five of the
twelve present plan to be mis-
sionaries after graduation.
After the discussion hot choco-
late and sandwiches were served.
Tentative plan for the Feb-
ruary meeting is a joint social
with the ministerial students on
the twenty-second.
PHYS ED. CLUB
The January meeting of the
Physical Educational Club con-
sisted of an open house for the
members in the gym.
Badminton, bowling, basket-
ball, and other games were
played. Each member of the
club helped with the arrange-
ments.
The club plans to sponsor two
or three open houses in the gym
a month for the students, Ruth
O'Neil, secretary; announced
recently.
CHRISTIAN SERVICE CLUB
J. J. Musick, minister of the
Valley Forge Christian Church,
near Elizabethton, was guest
speaker at the last meeting of
the Christian Service Club last
Monday night.
Bro Musick urged that com-
mon sense and a practical know-
ledge of financial problems of
a church were prerequisites for
church leadership. He also
pointed out that Christians
should be stewards of their tal-
ents as well as their money.
Devotions for the meeting
were led by Mary Perry, and
Ed Barnes led the singing.

14, Milligan will clash with
State, with the Buffs attempt-
ing to make it four straights.
Milligan and State have al-
ways been rivals and every
game results in a battle with a
fight to the finish. This pro-
mises to be a good game. Coach
Yancey believes that we will
win this game with the proper
support of the student body.
The Buffs have a hard sched-
ule ahead of them for the next
several days. On February 10,
Milligan will take on Austin
Peay in Clarksville; February

the Buffs have won 13 games
out of 16. The Past week, Mil-
ligan defeated Tusculum 64-46,
Emory and Henry 70-63, Cum-
berland University 94-60.
Sister: Now sit down and
tell me a story.
Brother: Can't, just told
daddy one.
. Bennie: Tell me, Kermit,
how do you manage to walk
right past people and never be
seen by them?
Ruby: (After refusing a cup
of strong coffee) I never drink
anything stronger than pop.

Pdp drink?
Basketball Scores
To Keep In Mind
If you haven't been coming
over to Cheek Gym to see the
intramural basketball games this
year, you have been missing a
lot of good ball games. The
competition is keen, and all
teams have shown up well. If
you haven't anything to do after
supper, come on over to Cheek
Gym and enjoy watching your
favorite team in action.

This is sure to be one of the
best games of the year. Both
teams will be undefeated when
they meet. Let's all turn out
for this game and yell for our
favorite team.
Don't forget the auto-elimina-
tion tournament which will start
on February 11. Here you will
see all of the intramural bas-
ketball teams thrown together
in what will be the tournament
of the year.
If you are in earnest about
your work you are already half
way through it.
Rowing is conceded to be the
oldest of all organized college
sports.
The Y. M. C. A. was organized
in London in 1844, largely
through the efforts of a dry-
goods merchant named George
Williams.
In an attempt to ease a tough
traffic situation, the Roman
Senate in 250 B. C. passed a
law prohibiting women from
driving chariots.
The man who fears nothing is
not less powerful than he who
is feared by every one.
A man's wife hides his faults;
but that is no reason he should
keep her busy all the time.

Your Editor Writes
—At The Age Of 10
Just then there came a loud
knock on the door. It was at
night, and very dark. My moth-
er left me home by myself. I
was frightened. My mother had
a lot of money in a treasure
chest. It was hidden in her
dresser drawer. The door knock-
ed. I was afraid to answer it
at first, but I started to get
brave. The door knocked five
times. So, the fifth time I an-
swered it. I went to the door
and a man with a white sheet
on him said very roughly, "Stick
'em up." I just stood there.
I thought about the money
mother had hid, because I did
not want him to get it. He had
a gun in his hand. I said,
"What do you want?" He said,
"Have you any money in the
house?" I did not answer. Just
then I heard a dog bark. It
sounded very cute. I looked
out the window, and it was just
my- little pup. I looked out
again and there came an< automo-
bile it was my mother. I was
happy to see that. The man
said "I want every cent that
you have in this house or I'll
never let you get away." I said,
"Allright follow me and I will
get it for you. We went up
stairs and I opened mother's
dresser drawer. It was not
there! Mother came in the door
and she said, ,fMary! Mary!" I
could not answer because the
man had his hand over my
mouth. She looked all over the
house for me. She came up
stairs. She saw the man and I.
I looked at her but she did not
have the money! Oh! what a
scare! I looked around and saw
the rug bulged up. I said to
mother and the man, "Here is
the treasure chest!" The man
threw off his white sheet and
here it was my father. Oh!
What a relief! Mother, Dad
and I went down stairs and
mother made a lunch for us.

THE INQUIRING REPORTER
Since the weather has been
so lovely the past few weeks,
your inquiring Reporter decid-
ed to ask this vital and timely
question:
"What is YOUR conception of
Spring Fever?" Here are the
resulting views:
Doris Arana — "Spring Fever
makes me feel homesick be-
cause it is the same way I feel
at home after a big lunch and
willing to take a siestra."
J. N. Jenkins — "It is the time
when a man falls in love with a
face, and makes the mistake of
marrying the whole girl." .
Alberta Grissom — "S p r i n g
Fever is when one's thoughts
turn to things like birds and
bees."
Ed Bailey — "Spring Fever?
Shoot, I don't know. I have
never had the stuff."
Millicent Combs — "It's the
time when a young man's fancy
turns to things beside baseball."
Becky Haris — Ahhh, it's the
time when boys start thinking
of things that the girls have
been thinking about all year
'round.
Marion Elliott — "I don't have
it, but they say it's wonderful.
Frances Henson — "I don't
know, but I've got it. I have it
the whole year around!"
Betty Yarbrough — "It's the
time when every little girl gives
her heart to somebody else."
Japanese Missionary
Speaks Here
M. B. Madden, Missionary to
Japan for fifty years, addressed
the Christian Service Club here
last Monday night. He spoke
in Chapel Tuesday morning and
at Hopwood Memorial Church
in the evening. He was avai-
able for conference with stud-
ents and faculty members on
Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Madden was born in Ohio
and educated at Bethany Col-
lege, West Virginia. He began
his missionary work in Japan
in 1895. During his half-cen-
tury there he has worked in
Tokyo, Fukusima, Senadai, and
Oska. Although his work has
been primarily in the field of
evangelism, he has taught in
the University of Congress, es-
tablished the Osaka Bible Semi-
nary and opened four kinder-
gartens.
After an extensive tour of
the United States, Mr. Madden
plans to return to Japan in
July of this year.
Organized in 1946 the Milli-
gan College Choir has steadily
risen to admirable heights under
the direction of Mr. and Mrs.
E. Gordon Warner. It has been
acclaimed wherever concerts
have been given along its 7,000
miles of tours. Final prepara-
tions are now being made to
complete their itinerary for the
Spring tour which will begin
at 8:30 Saturday morning, March
19th. While Spring vacation be-
gins for the rest of the student
body. March 19th means the
beginning of ten or twelve days
of hard work by members of the
Choir.
Their first concert will be
presented Sunday evening Mar.
20th, in Hillsboro, Ohio. Leav-
ing Hillsboro, they will journey
to the Queen City of the West
and present a concert at the
Westwood Cheivot Church of
Christ in Cincinnati. Indian-
apolis is their next stop, while
in this city plans are being
made for the Choir to present
the chapel program at Butler
University. Upon leaving In-
dianapolis, the choir will visit
the Windy City, singing in the
Englewood Christian Church in
Chicago. Their next stop will
bring them within eight miles
of the Wisconsin border, as they
.vill appear in Rockford Illinois,
then they will cut across the
state, southwest, to the Iowa
Border and visit Camp Point,
Illinois, the home of Anna Lee
Harris. Upon leaving Camp
Point, the choir has a 450 mile
journey ahead of them before
they present their next program,
which will be in Columbus,
Ohio, they will sing Sunday
Morning, March 27th at the
Chicago Avenue Church, and
that evening will appear in the
Indianaloa Church of Christ
in Columbus. The Indianaola
Church was formerly minister-
ed to by W. R. Walker, and it
is the church our academic Dean
and his family attend while liv-
ing in Columbus. Upon leaving
Columbus, the next stop will be
Louisville, Kentucky where the
choir will make a repeat per-
formance in the church that is
ministered to by the son of Mrs.
Meacham. The choir will re-
turn to the college on the 29th
of March.
They then will have to con-
tinue their hard work in the
choir making preparations for
their annual Spring concert
which will be given in April in
the college auditorium.

ON THE BUS— READY TO LEAVE
SPRING VACATION LENGTHENED
All will be quiet on the
campus front in a short time.
Spring vacation is just around
the corner, and with the ex-
ception of a very few, faculty
and students alike, beginning
March 19, will wind their way
merrily to ten days of rest (?)
and relaxation. Books and
papers will be pushed aside and
tests forgotten for these ten
days which run from Saturday,
March 19 to Tuesday March 29.
The vacation period was origin-
ally scheduled to run from
March 23 to March 29, but be-
cause of the early registration
this semester, the longer vaca-
tion was made possible.
How do the students feel
about the forth coming vacation?
This is what was expressed by
a member of the fair sex when
she was overheard discussing
her plans. "Well this is the last
week I eat. I'll be too excited
to look at food next week."
What Is Your
Point Hour Ratio?
The point-hour ratio has now
been determined for each mem-
ber of the student body. The
average for the entire school is
2.35. Anyone whose ratio ex-
ceeds this figure may consider
himself above average. Dean
Sahli announced that every
student should be able to com-
pute his point-hour ratio and
should be able to give the ratio
at any time.-^ Anyone who is
unable to figure his ratio may
learn how from either the Re-
gistrar's Office or the office of
the Dean.
WITH THE ALUMNI
Burgess Cantrell, a Milligan
College student in 1936-37 was
the raido operator on the Lucky
Lady, March 2. The Lucky
Lady made the first non-stop
flight around the world.
Economical Travel
Paul R. Bauer, former Mil-
liganite, stopped by the College
recently, on the way to his
home in Buffalo, New York.
Paul, who is now enrolled at
Northwest Christian College,
Eugene, Oregon, covered more
than four thousand miles from
Oregon to East Tennessee, via
hitch-hiking and freight train
friendliness. The highlight of
the extended itinerary was a
ride across the California desert
atop the caboose of a Santa Fe
freight train. The journey was
made from Eugene, Oregon to
Milligan College in seven days.
Total expense, eight dollars.
Paul will resume his studies
at Northwest Christian College
with the opening of the third
quarter, March 21.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE
IN SUMMER SCHOOL
It has been decided, subject to
the approval of the Board of
Trustees, that a summer term
will begin on June 13, and end
on July 23. In this period, a
student may earn no more than
seven semester hours of credits.
One innovation this year, pro-
viding the student interest is
sufficient, will be an opportun-
ity to earn six semester hours
in a language, probably French
211-121, or Greek 101-202. The
plan will be unique in this area,
but it has been tried by a few
colleges with much success. Sev-
eral students from other colleges
in this area have already ex-
pressed the desire to -enroll if
such a course is available.
U. S. A. C. CONFERENCE

Needed Improvements on Campus
The sore muscles and tired backs due to clean-up day
seem worth it when one looks at the campus. Let us try
and keep the campus in this condition all of the time. _
The improvements needed now are those which it is
necessary to buy. In all certainty, if there were two or
three large containers placed about the lawn, papers and
other debris would not cluster the lawn so constantly.
Within the dormitories improvements are needed also.
Many of the windows have either ripped and torn shades
or no shades at all. More floor mops would enable the
students to keep their rooms much cleaner and give them
more incentive to do so. The boys dormitory, in particular
needs desks. Better working conditions make better
We have had our clean-up day and have done our best
to improve the looks of the campus in that way. Let us
keep in mind now the needed improvements and work to
obtain them,
Visitors on Campus
Naomi Godsey, former Mil-
ligan student was a visitor on
the campus last week-end. She
is now attending Concord Col-
lege in Athens, West Virginia.
Betty Lee McGreagor, a fresh
man at Virginia Intermont Col-
lege, was visiting Louise Green
over the week-end.
Mr. and Mrs. O. R. Green and
Jimmy Bennett of Lexington,
Kentucky, were recent vistors
of Joanne Green.
Miss Barbara Feathers, Dean
Jacoby and Mr. and Mrs. Step-
hen Morton of Johnson City
were present at the Tuesday
morning chapel service.
Mr. Earl Hargroves, president
of Lincoln Bible College, con-
ducted the devotionals for the
Tuesday chapel program.
Milligan Coed Of 1890
Wore Fancy Calicoes
Young ladies at Milligan Col-
lege in 1890, were dressed in
latest style calicoes and trim-
mings, according to an archaic
advertisement of a Johnson City
general store, published in a
paper of that year. In addition
to the fashionable calico, there
was economizing more for the
young female, "plain dress
goods." The pay-down store
announced a stock of new goods
just received and more coming.
BOUGHT TO SELL! At the
disposal of the buying public
was a full line of staple and
fancy articles.
For the well-dressed young
college gentleman of that day
there were available jeans and
suitings. For those more in-
terested in the pursuit of know-
ledge than personal appearance,
the Johnson City merchant list-
ed for sale slates, sponges, slate
cleaners and tablets, A revolu-
tionary "best in on the market"
carried the guarantee of its
manufacturer to contain no
dregs and no ingredients to rust
the pen point. In the miscel-
laneous field, were notions and
novelties — "all cheap at the pay-
down store," Nor was the
friendliness of the storekeeper
overlooked. "Come in," he an-
nounced. "It's no trouble to
show the goods." And THIS
was the up-to-date information
on "this and that" in 1890.
— ^-Claude Callaway.
That the Milligan campus is
a busy one, is indicated by the
fact that on the same evening,
there were two prayer meetings,
A Stampede Staff meeting, a
meeting of the Student Council,
play practice, and intra-mural
basketball.
The Clown of the Class
Most of us as we have sat in class rooms have seen
the "clown," the fellow who is everlasting annoying. Then
we have seen the intelligent -girl who sits very primly in
her front seat and answers every question asked the class.
All of us have probably noticed these people, but I
wonder if you have ever noticed the "laughing boy," the
smart guy who laughs because your question is not up to
his intelligence (although he is very careful never to make
a slip that might mar his perfect record of being right).
As you have guessed, I have never heard him ask a question.
He is superior to most of the class but somehow he is
always very quiet when the grades come out. He is the
fellow who tries to make you feel inferior and self-con-
scious. He is merely trying to gain the "superiority" that
you psychology students keep harping on.
. I know for myself that I am not exceptional in any
way and many times it takes me longer to comprehend
and thus I must ask questions that seem foolish to others.
These fellows who seem to think that you are funny be-
cause of your inability to understand something are only
showing their ignorance and rudeness by laughing.
I know that we think that some people are amusing,
but let us all think twice before laughing at someone's
"inferiority" — it may be our own.
— Leonhard Maas
Press Room Ready For Use
Ellen Austin, editor of the
Stampede, announces that a
press room is now available for
use of the members of the paper
staff. The room is located in
Wolf Hall and keys may be ob-
tained from the editor. The
furnishings of the room include
desk, chairs, a typewriter, dic-
tionaries ,and files of Stampedes
from previous years.
East Unaka Street Minister
Is Speaker For Chapel Service
One of the best devotional
and inspirational chapel services
this year was held in the
college auditorium. Thursday,
morning, February 17. James
Walters, minister of East Unaka
Christian Church, Johnson City,
brought a challenging message
on the topic "Temptations In
Reverse." He cited several
bibical instances where men
have accepted temptations up-
ward and showed the import-
ance of doing good when the
opportunity comes rather than
waiting for a more convenient
time.

STUDENTS STATISTICS
OUR SENIORS
By Joanne Green
Introducing — our first interviewee — Mildred Pearl Boiling,
one of the busiest Seniors at Milligan. She is just the type
for a Business major — trim, neat, efficient —
you'd never guess she had three minors and
held down three jobs! And to top it all off,
she serves as vice-president of the Commerce
Club and makes most of her own clothes.
She somehows finds time to sneak in some
excursions over the countryside, too, for
traveling is one of her favorite past-times.
A native of Esserville, Virginia, Mildred
hopes to make a career of teaching Secretarial
Science there next year.
Robert Palmer Griffin, V that deep South, suh!", is the
typical dignified Senior. Bob was born in Gulfport, Mississippi,
just about twenty years ago, and since then
has developed an ardent interest in photo-
graphy and science, with a brief side track on
engineering. Last year he held the title of
News Editor of the STAMPEDE, but ended
up as a general flunky, doing everything from
proof-reading to reporting. Even though he
has only attended Milligan two years. Bob
has earned the reputation of being a hard
worker and a swell guy. After graduation
he hopes to enter medical school and even-
tually become a doctor.
The last Senior on our list today has been quite active here,
hence is quite well known. Martha Belle Bunton has accredited
herself quite ably in several fields, being
a member of the Woman's Athletic Associa-
tion, Christian Service Club, Service Seekers,
and leader of a Gospel Team. That's quite
an impressive list, and for her outstanding
career she has been chosen to represent Mil-
ligan in WHO'S WHO IN AMERICAN COL-
LEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. Martha has
majoried in Religion, and after a year's Roving Reporter
teaching, she plans to go on to a seminary
and do mission work in South America
— "someday."
CHAPEL CHIMES
"LIFE'S MIRROR"
By Madeline Bridges
There are loyal hearts, there
are spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure
and true,
Then give the world the best
you have,
And the best will come back to
you.
Give love, and love to your life
will flow,
A strength in your utmost need,
Have faith, and a score of hearts
will show
Their faith in your word and
deed.
Give truth, and your gift will
be paid in kind;
And honor will honor meet;
And a smile that is sweet will
surely find
A smile that is just as sweet.
Give pity and sorrow to those
who mourn.
You will gather in flowers again
The scattered seeds from your
thought outborne
Through the sowing -seemed but
vain.
For life is the mirror of king
and slave.
Tis just what we are and do;
Then give to the world the best
you have,
And the best will come back to
you.
Prof. Boadjis had a swell time
on his trip, we understand. Glad
to have you back, Prof.
FACTS BY THE FACULTY
Too vmany students have separate codes of ethics for their
personal and academic lives. Often a person who wouldn't steal
fifty cents— "That's not HONEST!"— does not bat an eyeslash at
copying either daily work or a test.
Many schools have an Honor System, under which the pro-
fessor leaves the room when a test or examination is given.
Students are proud of their school's record and strive to main-
tain it. Some similiar system should be the goal in a school
whose ideals are Christian.
It is time to discard the childish attitude of, "How much can
I get by with in this class?" It should be replaced by, "How much
I can get out of this class?"
'I do not believe most of us realize how much cheating
lowers the professor's personal opinion of a student. It is de-
trimental to your grades to sow seeds of suspicion in the minds
of your teachers. Then if you do something good through your
own efforts it may not be acknowledged as such.
It is dangerous to form the habit of depending on someone
else and the work he has done. It is too likely to carry over
into your pattern of action after graduation, in which you very
often will be stranded if you cannot come through on your own.
Every college student should be old enough and mature
enough to have a very deep personal conviction of a moral
responsibility in matters of honesty, whether it be in falsely
obtaining money or in obtaining information. Look over our his-
tory in this respect. Help make a trustworthy student body
by neither giving nor receiving information where it should
neither be given nor received. It pays off in the end!

FRIDAY. MARCH 11. 1949
THE STAMPEDE
PAGE THREE
JUST
ftROWflNG
Hey, kids, have you noticed
nine perculiar students around
here who carry a long white
stick with them? I've tried to
keep a close tab on them when
I see them come in the Ad.
Building with the thing and
make their way up to the third
floor.
Since I can't "pick 'em and
lay 'em down" as fast as they
can, I lose track of them after
we hit second floor. But do you
know what I heard? I heard
these kids are studying to be
little Yep, tlrey are members of
the conducting class, a new
course this semester, which is
being offered by Prof- E. Gor-
don Warner.
One afternoon I decided to
station myself on third floor.
And sure enough ,the kids with
the sticks came right past me
and I moused my way to their
classrom in Room 312.
I had a swell box seat (the
box formerly held a choir robe)
and the proceedings were very
interesting! Each student went
before the class and tried to
direct the group through a song.
Now, I never dreamed such a
little thing as waving what they
call the "baton" before a musi-
cal group could be so much
work! And the things you have
to think about!
Well, after each student had
his chance at conducting, the
class arose and tried the ex-
ercises together. Law! I held
my breath for fear they would
knock each others eyes out, and
then two other students looked
like they were having a good
game of fencing — but I reckon
it probably was an optical illu-
sion from the angle in which I
was sitting.
You know what, kids? I
learned right much from visitin'
that there class. I'll tell you
what I did. I went right home,
found myself a toothpick and
have been . practicing the ex-
ercises myself. Who knows?
Maybe someday I will be a
great conductor in the mouse
world.
Gosh? There's nothun like
edjukashun!
Teachers Attend Meeting Of
Tenn., Philogical Association
Dr. Jennie Lorenz, Miss Wanda
Lee Coil, and Professor Athan-
asius Boyadjis attended the an-
nual meeting of the Tennessee
Philogical Association which
was held at Maryville College.
In the morning, papers on clas-
sic literature and various phil-
osophical subjects were read by
several professors. In the even-
ing the group was entertained
with a banquet. Selections of
Begger's Opera were given by
representatives from Maryville
Colleges and the University of
Chattanooga.
A Buffalo Heard . .
Betty Willis and Willie John-
son have found they have a lot
of things in common.
The roving affections of "Cas-
sanova" Middleton seem to have
been put on a steady track by
a certain red-head over at
State. Don Lambert and Kirby
Laughlin also seem to have an
interest there.
' . . .
The light of romance gives
promise of shining brightly on
Ruth O'Neil and Carl Edwards.
There may be many firm be-
lievers in the old saying "True
love never runs smooth," but
you can't prove it by Elnora and
"Vac."
Bill Beeler's decision of "Mil-
ligan over Sullins" seems to
have made a certain party very
happy, eh, Pardue?
Speaking of the Beelers. J.
A. has developed a sudden lik-
ing for southern accents. How
about it, Becky?
Week-ends are all too short
as far as Doris Arana and
"Porky" are concerned.
And why is it Sally Bellamy's
favorite song these days is^'Red
Roses for a Blue Lady?"
Seems J. A. Beeler won out in
the struggle for Joan Ramsey's
affections. Joan, in case you
didn't know, is a cute little
blonde from Johnson City.
* » »
Then there's the fued between
Anna Lee Harris and Betty
Willis. You should see1 them
both "Perk" up' whenever that
boy from Virginia is seen or
even mentioned.
And speaking of Virginia,
Shorty Williams can be heard
most any time singing "Carry
Me Back To Old Virginny",
but we don't think he means
the state, and not so old, either.
Universal question of the day
with the Milligan girls: "Who
is he?" They mean of course
the tall dark boy with "those
eyes" who is out for football
practice.
Glen Boatwright will tell you
most any time of the "ride" he
was taken for. Seems he re-
ceived some philosophical ad-
vice and he'll tell you, "Don't
worry, child !"
Sam, can't you think up a
better excuse than running out
of gas. That's positively an-
tiquated! Oh! You say the bat-
tery died?
Pre-Meds Get
Equipment For
Biology Department
The Milligan Pre-Med club,
in an assemble program on Fri-
day morning, presented a skele-
ton and a number of medical
books to the Biology Depart-
ment. In a short humorous skit
Hoyt Dees introduced the
skelton, Miss Bony Belle, who
had a few remarks for the stud-
ent body. Henry Evans present-
ed Mrs. Geneva Bradshaw Smith
who had given the skelton to
the Pre-Meds for the Biology-
Department. Mrs. Smith ex-
plained how she had decided
that Boney Belle needed a new
home and chose Milligan College
for that home. She then in-
troduced Mrs. R. W. Dulaney
and Mrs. B. M. Crumley who
had worked with her in getting
the medical books. Mrs. Dul-
aney worked especially hard to
secure for the college library a
copy of Gray's Anatomy and
several volumes by Sir William
Osier.
Specific doctors who made
contributions of books are: Mel
D. Smith, E. L. Caudill, Senior;
E. L. Caudill, Junior; Charles
P. Wofford, G. Edward Camp-
bell.
Books were given in honor of
Dr. R. W. Dulaney- by Mrs.
Dulaney, in honor of Dr. L. P.
Herd by Mrs. Herd, and in hon-
or of Dr. J. LvBradshaw by the
family.
This new material will be of
great value to everyone at Mil-
ligan. The members of the Pre-
Med club, the students, and the
faculty of Milligan College ex-
press their sincere appreciation
to Mrs. Smith and all those who
helped in this Pre-Med project.
FULBRIGHT ACTS

received on the sale of American
surplus properties overseas.
At the present time there are
eight participating countries.
These include the United King-
dom, Belgium, Luxembourg,
New Zealand, China, Burma, the
Philippines, and Greece. Ex-
pected to join shortly are Italy
and France. In addition to the
countries just listed, the govern-
ment sponsors a separate pro-
gram for graduate study in
Latin America.
To be selected for study under
both the Fulbright and Latin
American programs, it is neces-
sary to make detail applications,
backed by scholarship records
and college recommendations.
There are no examinations.
Veterans get preference and

Association Aids Ministerial Students
The Milligan College Ministerial Association exists on the
campus in order to provide a means whereby those men studying
for the gospel ministry may find fellowship and be mutually
helpful one to another, in matters pertaining to their life and
activities in the Church and College.
This organization was created April 30, 1948. Its beginning
dates back to April 12, of that year, when Dean Mildred Wel-
shimer, met with three interested students and discussed the
possibilities of such an organization at the College. In a called
meeting shortly thereafter, a constitutional committee was ap-
pointed, and a tentative charter was drawn up by Ralph McLean
and John Hasty. On May 7, the Constitution was adopted, and
seventeen charter members were received into the Association.
The organization endeavors to:
Create and maintain a Christian spirit on the campus.
Seek to uphold the Christian ideals and standards of Milligan.
College.
Encourage the ministerial students to maintain the highest
possible standards of Christian character.
Assist students in finding places of service in nearby churches.
Help build the strongest possible Bible department at Mil-
ligan College. Membership is dependent upon a scholastic average
of C and a proper recommendation from the student's home
church. In addition to thesrf1 requirements, those holding Mem-
bership in the Association are not permitted to use alcoholic
beverages or any form of tobacco. Their daily living must be
unquestionably Christian.
This year, the organization has been active in bringing to
the campus leaders in various fields of religion, who offer prac-
tical aids and suggestions on the different phases of the Chris-
tian ministry. Preacher's clinics are also held. Special committees
enlarge the efficiency of the Ministerial Association. Outstanding
men are afforded placement in the pulpits of church congrega-
tions of this area. From the present membership of twenty,
eleven students are ministering regularly to churches, over a
distance of eighty miles.
Of the charter membership, there are two last year's graduates
at the University of Pittsburgh. One is youth director to a
church in Lexington, Kentucky, while another is serving a group
of three churches, Mauertown, Virginia. One is in the Army
and two are enrolled in Bible colleges.
The present membership of the Milligan College Ministerial
Association is composed of six freshman, two sophomores, seven
juniors, three seniors, and two who are taking post-graduate work.

DRAMATIC CLUB NEWS
The Milligan College Dramatic
Club gathered together on the
evening of March 2 for an un-
usually pleasant meeting and
program. After all business had
been attended to, the club was
favored by four highly enter-
taining readings,'' written by
some of Milligan's more talented
Freshman English students
Dolores Guffy, Ellen Crawford,
Herman Wattwood, and Guy,
Lail. Refreshments and infor-
mal discussions of future club
activities concluded the pro-
gram.
Two one-act plays, to be pre-
sented this spring, are now in
the making. Ellen Austin is
directing the popular comedy,
"In the Money", and Dolores
Cook is working up "Overhead",
also a comedy. Both plays will
be given in Friday chapel pro-
grams later in the season.
THE HOME EC CLUB
Tonight the Home Economics
Club will entertain their guests
with a theater party and a feed

ties, picnics, and hay rides is
invited to join. Membership is
not restricted to Home Econ-
amics majors.

LAST GAME
Milligan vs. Carson-Newman
Shots flew fast and thick as
the Buffs trounced the Eagles
by a score of 106-72.
It looked at times as if there
must have been several teams
on the floor instead of only two.
The referees were getting dizzy,
Spraker was tearing his hair,
and the students were having
the time of their life as the two
teams together chalked up a
total of 178 points.
This was the final game of
the season for the Buffs with
19 wins and 13 defeats .
Kyle Middleton pointed the
way by'dropping in a total of
27 points. Two other Buffs
passed the 20 mark. Hyder got
22 points and Sid Hathaway 21.

PHOTOGRAPHIC
EXHIBITION
THE MEDIEVAL WORLD, a
photographic exhibition prepar-
ed by the editors of LIFE, in
the Administration Building for
several days, beginning March
3 and continuing' through March
9.
This exhibition is made up of
photographs which were pub-
lished as a two-part pictorial
essay in the April 7th and cur-
rent issue of LITE, and also in-
cludes many pictures -that had
to be omitted from the mag-
azine for lack of space.
Twenty-four panels, each con-
taining from one to six photo-
graphs and captions, delineate
the roles of the Church, the
Town, and the Castle in fhe
day-to-day life of medieval man.
The section devoted to the
Church reflects the medieval
spirit in a sequence of panels
which include the cathedral of
Ohartress, the Abbey church at
Vezelay, Fountain A'obey, sculp-
tural details and color repro-
ductions of stained glass from
Bourges and Chartres.
The second division of the ex-
hibition treats town life, in the
Middle Ages. ' Here are seen
engravings of anonymous streets
and street scenes as well as such
centers of medieval life as
Nuremberg, Dinkelsbuhl, Con-
stance, Carcassonne and Avi-
gnon.
Feudal life, centering around
the Lord's castle ,is protrayed
in the third division. Color re-
productions from the May 26th
issue of LIFE include the Uni-
corn Hunt tapestry (now in The
Colisters, Metropolitan Museum
of Art), and also Life in the
Manor (from a 15th Century
Flemish manuscript in the Mor-
gan Library). There are also
panels. illustrating a tournament
and the Crusades. Of the 35
photographs in this portion of the
exhibition, 24 tell the story of
customs and courtesies of castle
life, while the others reveal the
interiors and outside walls of
medieval castles still standing
today.
TENNESSEE STATE BUCS
WrN OVER MILLIGAN BUFFS
Milligan was defeated by East
Tennessee State College, 55-50
in the basketball game played
at the Science Hill Gym, Feb. 14.
Milligan took an early lead
but couldn't hold it as the Buc-
caneers took over near the end
of the first half. At the in-
termission the score read 24-18
in favor of the Bucs.
The game was tied up by
Milligan in the last quarter but
the Bucs managed to pull away
because of personal foul shots
which cost Milligan the game.
Girl's Intramural
Competition
The girl's intramural group
of Milligan College began in-
dividual competition on Wed-
nesday, March 9. These activi-
ties include such stunts as head
stands, cartwheels, basketball
accuracy and other gymnastic
feats. There will also be a
swimming meet which will be-
gin on April 6. The meet will
feature relay races, speed, vari-
ous strokes and diving. Points
will be given for participation
in Senior Instructors Life Sav-
ing courses.
Individual competition affords
an opportunity to earn at least
200 points. There is still time
to earn an award if participa-
tion is begun now.
The Women's Athletic As-
sociation is planning a formal
banquet during the latter part
of April for all girls who have
taken part in the intramural
activities.

mons.
Rams Defeat Wonders
The Shepherd Rams defeated
the Milligan Wonders 54-50 in
a hilarious game that brought
out the majority of the students
hereon March 4.
The two teams were about
evenly matched throughout the
game. It was anybody's ball
game right up until the whistle
Yancey was high point man for
the evening with a total of 22
points.
The students seem to agree
that this was the most colorful
game of the year. They were
wondering where Mr. Sisk got
those purple trunks. Mr. Sprak-
er ran a good interference for
the Wonders, but we don't think
that it helped much since his
team mates couldn't get around
him. Dean Sahli played a good
game, but it would have been
much better if he hadn't spent
so much time sitting on the ball.
If we insist it may be possible
to have the faculty engage the
students in a basball gamesome-
time in the Spring.

THE GUY IN THE GLASS
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that guy has to say.
For it isn't your father, or mother, or wife
Who judgment upon you must pass.
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the guy staring back from the glass.
He's the feller to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end.
And you've passed your most dangerous difficult task
If the guy in the glass is your friend.
You may be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum,
And think you're a wonderful guy.
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass.
-But your final reward will be heartless and tears
If you've cheated the guy in the glass.

HOMECOMING— 1949 .
Plans are now being formulat-
ed for a Homecoming on a
grandiose scale this , fall. In
pageantry and ceremonies the
highlights in the history of Mil-
ligan College will be depicted.
The faculty committee is al-
ready at work on the project
under the able chairmanship of
Miss Ivor Jones, herself an
alumnus as well as a faculty
member. Others serving on the
committee are Professor Sam
J. Hyder, Registrar Lois Hale,
Dean Welshimer and Dean Sahli.
The History and English de-
partments have been asked to
aid in the collection of histori-
cal data. All members of the
alumni, students and college
friends are urged to get behind
this worthwhile project by re?
vealing historical incidents, by
making sugestions and by gen-
eral participation and co-opera-
tion. Friends in the neighbor-
hood can be of aid by opening
their homes to visitors to the
college on the occasion.
In addition to the usual home-
coming festivities, an attempt
will be made to bring back per-
sons who played an important
part in the history of the col-
lege and are still alive. Others
will be impersonated in the
pageantry. Such important
events as the arrival of the
Hopwoods to look over the land,
seeing if it were suited for a
college, the addition of each
building and the historical signi-
finance of many campus sites
will be portrayed. It is hoped
that this occasion itself may be
an outstanding event in the his-
tory of the college in the years
to come.
AROUND THE MAY POLE

This two-act comedy was one of the top plays during World
War Two and the Barter Thetre group presentation has upheld
"the acclaim of the comedy."
The tickets will be $.90 for all Milligan students and $1.80

FACULTY TO HOLD RECEP-
TION FOR SENIOR CLASS
The Faculty Club is having a
formal reception for all mem-
bers of the senior class in the
parlors of Hardin Hall on Wed-
nesday, April 20, at 8:15. Com-
mittees have been named and
are at work to make this a big
event for the senior class.
CHOIR PRESENTS
SPRING CONCERT
The Milligan College Concert
Choir, under the direction of Mr.
and Mrs. E. Gordon Warner pre-
sented their Annual Spring Con-
cert in the college auditorium,
on Tuesday evening, April 12.
The choir has just returned from
a very successful tour of several
of the northern states. While
on tour, they appeared in many
o£ the outstanding Christian
Churches of the country.
Since the concert was given
just prior to Easter, many of
the numbers were in keeping
with the season. Instead of ap-
pearing throughout the entire
concert in their traditional rob-
es the choir was dressed for
many of the numbers in cos-
tumes that were depictive of
the music they sang. The stage
was beautifully decorated for
the occasion. Special lighting
effects added much to the set-
ting.

THE VALUE
OF TESTING
As a student of phychology
I maintain that the present sys-
tem of examinations at Milligan
should be discontinued for the
following reasons:
1. A premium is placed on
slavish memorization rather
than mental acuity.
2. Emotional dependence and
immaturity are encouraged rath-
er than originality and personal
resourcefulness, because the
student is expected to reproduce
the text and (for the purpose of
the examination!) to omit opin-
ions contrary to those of the
author or his professor.
3. The exam-situation is us-
ually a highly artificial one,
and has little carry-over value
for the situations to be faced
later in actual life.
4. Perrsonal initiative is held
to a minimum for the simple
reason that the student must
direct a large part of his energy
toward getting ready for the
exam. . It is impossible to read
what one finds most interesting
and thus to learn most thorough-
ly and economically, because1 to
do so would jeopardize one's
chance of "passing" the course.
5. Exams actually help a
student to forget what he has
learned. The psychological ex-
planation for this is the fact
that the mind tends to block off
from consciousness all unpleas-
ant and unserviceable exper-
iences. The result, in short, is
a mild form of amnesia. Thus
the admitted benefits of a
thorough review are lost in the
agonizing experience of the
exam-situation proper.
What do I propose, then, to
take the place of examinations?
Or how do I suggest that the
faculty members evaluate the
work of the students?
In general, I suggest that the
evaluation be made in the way
ot reporting an actual event in
its natural setting. More speci-
fically, observation of the stud-
ent's particular insights as re-
vealed in his class room discus-
sions, his special oral reports to
the class, his notebook work or
other written assignments (such
as essays, reviews, critiques,
psychological case studies, bio-
graphies, and the like), his
casual conversations, his ap-
pearances on the stage or in
the pulpit, or his news items
or editorials or feature articles
in the STAMPEDE or other
publication*. — Anonymous.
GOODBYE, EXAMS!
BON VOYAGE!
Within the next few week
the Seniors at Milligan will
have completed their compre-
hensive exams and in the course
of a little more than seven
weeks all of us will have com-
pleted our final exams for the
year.
r Did it ever occur to any of
us that beneath the cover of
these exams about which the
students grumble and which
the faculty members stay up
nights grading, there is more to
be found than just a way of
obtaining a final grade?
Testing gives us a goal to
work towards. It reveals to us
and to the professor also, how
well we have been able to ap-
ply ourselves in class and some
times we might even go so far
as to say that testing helps to
reveal to the teacher, the char-
acter of the student.
Of special importance to the
student is the fact that testing
reveals to him, his ability and
also the amount of honest ef-
forth he has put forth in a given
class.
All of us are going to go thru
testing periods in our lives when
we will have to make bigger and
more important decisions than
those required on an exam
paper. We are going to school
to learn to live and the tests
we have here are the finest pre-
paration we could have for the
bigger tests in life.
Perhaps if we realized that
these tests which we are ap-
proaching were of mutual bene-
fit to student and teacher and
if we could begin to compre-
hend their value to us in years
to come we would approach
them with a less prejudiced at-
titude, making it easier for all
involved.
STUDENT STATISTICS
OUR SENIORS
By Joanne Green
Few Milliganites would recognize this handsome young fellow if
I were to call him "Thelbert," but that's the little known middle
name belonging to Jim Marshall, the local
boy from Pratt, Virginia, who is sure to make
good. He was salutatorian of his graduating
class and is already the full-time minister of
the Central Christian Church in Jonesboro.
He was a student at Johnson Bible College for
two years, and is graduating from Milligan
with a major in religion. Jim is also very active
on the campus in the Christion Service Club
and the Ministerial Association. His future
plans include taking grauate work at the
University of Virginia and becoming a medi-
cal missionary.
Emma Allen says "about the most horrible thing that ever
happened to me at Milligan was having to
wear a red poke bonnet in 'Pride and Pre-
judice'!" She is a member of the Dramatic
Club and Alpha Psi Omega. Some other in-
terests are the Home Ec, Club, the "STAM-
PEDE" staff, and poetry. You'll also be
seeing her in the Queen's Court on May Day.
She's a history major, and although she
says she wants to do exactly NOTHING after
her days at Milligan are over, she'll probably
be found teaching, preferably in Florida.
More smart people around here! Roy Hampton, Betsy-town,
graduated as valedictorian of his class. When I
went to interview him, he was busily en-
gaged with a group of students who called
him "Prof." (He teaches three classes.) Roy
came to Milligan as a sophomore with a handi-
cap— he spent his first year at State. But
overcoming this, he_joined the Christian Ser-
vice Club, Dramatic Club, Apha Psi Omega,
and took on a Math major with minors in
biology and chemistry. He manages to find
time to take and collect snapshots, too. He
wants to teach, and actually "would like to be
on Miligan's faculty sometime."
This wide-eyed charming miss is really from below the
Mason-Dixon line — in fact, she's from south
of the border! San Sebastian, Puerto Rico
is her home and her name is Nydia Ballester.
She says the biggest difference between the
TJ, S. A. and her five-days-away home is the
dating proposition! Wonder if that's any
reason for choosing psychology as her major?
She really goes for music and dancing, and
if you happen to have any old stray pennants
around, she collects them. Her plan immedi-
ately after graduation is to take one HUGHE
vacation, but after that she'd like to teach
languages.
Versatile is definitely the adjetive to use for Paul Griz,
who hails from Elkhorn, West Virginia. The
"M"' Club, Dramatic Club, Alpha Psi Omega,
(of which he is president), Student Council
and basketball are a few of the activities that
take up his time. As proof that he's well
liked, he was voted May King is often shouted
at to "Sink that ball in, Granna!" during a
basketball game As to his plans after gra-
duation, he hasn't yet made up his mind, but
they will probably have something to do with
chemistry, his major.
■Tanie Cross has so many irons in the fire that she had to
have help in remembering just what all she's
done while at college. She's been in the
Commercial Club, Dramatic Club, Intramurals,
Student Council, was a Campus Beauty, Queen
of Homecoming, winner of the Annie Lee
Lucas Reading Contest. "Treasurer of sum-
pin'," and is secretary of the senior class and
Most Popular Girl. It goes without saying
she's one of the prettiest and best liked girls
here, even if she does rattle her roomates by
chewing her gum so loudly! Her major ob-
jective: to be a good secretary.
The Desterted Campus
You know college campuses
were made for students, and a
campus without people is like
a stage without actors. The
scene is set, all the props ( are
ready, but the actors fail to ap-
pear. Milligan, during the past
vacation, rather resembled Gold-
smith's "Desterted Village." The
place was crowed with memories
and ghosts of all the students
who had ever been here. There
was something unreal about it.
The campus grew more beauti-
ful every day. The cherry blos-
soms bloomed with a fragile,
intense beauty that was almost
too lovely to bear. The grass
became a lush, rich green, and
tiny buds peeved timidly out on
the trees. The joyous spring air
welcomed the grass and blos-
soms and buds warmly and
sweetly, like one greeting dear-
ly loved friends who have been
away for along time. All this
was going on and almost no
one was here to appreciate it!
The Ad building slept peace-
fully, warming itself in the
bright spring' sun. And while
it slept, it dreamed — dreams
that we can only imagine. Girls
and boys in strange clothes ran
up and down its stairs. Laughter
and ru.nnning footsteps echoed
through its halls. Down in the
corner of the first floor hall
could be heard the sobs of a
ittle freshman crying over her
first "F". Down in the other
end of the hall vows of undying
love lingered in the air. The
library resounded with the ef-
forts of hundreds of students
who had studied and day-dream-
ed and played footsie at its
worn tables. All the hopes and
dreams of; rearless foolish youth
were alive in that old Ad build-
ing.
The dormitories dreamed, too,
of the homesick tears of a little
country girl, away from home
for the first time, of whispered
girlish secrets, of fervent pray-
ers brethed within its walls.
A casual visitor might have
seen only an empty campus and
deserted buildings. How. could
they know that the campus and
buildings were as crowded with
people as they had ever been? —
because the people were spirits.

Marie Smith Speaks
At Education Meeting
Miss Marie Smith attended a
meeting of the Spanish Division
of the Education Association in
Asheville, North Carolina last
week-end. Miss Smith spoke in
Spanish on "the pronounciation
of Spanish as taught in the first
textbooks of the United States."
Afterward she attended a lun-
cheon and tea for modern lang-
uage teachers.
One thousand delegates from
g r a m m e r schools, secondary
schools and colleges were pre-
sent.
CHAPEL CHIMES
The sculptor chiseled off the
stone,
And cast the spoils aside,
And soon a marble angel stood
Freed — and beautified.
The pruner took the pruning
shears
And cut away the tree.
But soon appeared the blooms,
sweet,
And fragrant, and free.
The Master took a battered harp
And made its arches strong,
And plucked thereon a melody
Much like an angel's song.
The Saviour took a wretched
life
And washed away its sin,
And now that soul is pure and
free —
That life is whole again.
— Stuard Widener
INTRAMURAL SOFTBALL
CONTEST
Arrangements are being made
for an intramural soft ball con-
test. There should be ten or
more teams to compete in this
favorite contest of all students.
Two new softball diamonds have
been laid out angling the athle-
tic field so that two games can
be played at one time.

NOTES FROM THE LIBRARY
Marsha Dickinson has check-
ed out more books than any
other- student. To date she has
45 titles listed on her borrow-
er's card. In checking these
titles it was noted that they
were varied, and that not only
fiction and biography were in-
cluded, but also history, litera-
ture, psychology, and religion.
This list does not include the
reserve books read.
Through the kindness of Miss
Marie Smith's family, several
books have been given to the
Library. They 'were presented
to the Pre-Med Club, and the
Club placed them in the Library.
Within a tew weeks these books
should be cataloged and ready
for use. Some of the titles
which were given to the Lib-
rary are: Clapestattle: The
Doctors Mayo; Bockus: Gastro
Enterology, 3 volumes and in-
dex; Howell: Textbook of Phy-
siology.
Have you read Mason: Eagle
in the Sky? or Ingersoll: The
Great Ones? or Freeman: George
Washington? or Churchill: Gath-
ering Storm? Some of these
are too good to miss.
Recently several students have
returned books to the Library
which they found in the dormi-
tories and the Ad building. The
Library Staff is very grateful
to these students. Too frequent-
ly, however, students have been
reporting that books have been
lost or misplaced. Probably all
of us can be a little more care-
ful, and reduce this to a mim-
imum. Within a few days, a list
will be posted of books that
have been reported lost. Any
information about them will be
greatly appreciated. A thorough
room check will probably yield
some of them.
CURRENT BIOGRAPHY
1948 ADDED TO
REFERENCE ROOM
Life stories of 343 persons who
figured in the news of 1948 ap-
pear in Current Biography 1948,
the 763-page volume, just added
to the reference collection of the
MiUigan College Library, Gret-
chen B. Smith Librarian, an-
nounced, today.
Because much of the limelight
of 1948 focused on our election,
many new United States Sena-
tors and Representatives are
included. Political leaders and
heads of states abroad, among
them Robert Schuman and
Chain Weiszmann, and world fig-
ures, such as Albert Schweitzer
and Ralph J. Bunche, appear in
this yearbook. Also featured
are other persons important in
the fields of science, art, liter-
ature, labor and industry, the
social sciences, education, and
the rest of the thirty-two classi-
fications by profession.
In some instances those whose
life stories were in the 1940 or
1941 Yearbooks (now out of'
print), such as Jawaharlal Nehru,
Sir Stafford Cripps, Harold
Stassen, and Arthur Vanden-
berg, but whose added promin-
ence warrants new sketches, are
presented again, in Current
Biography 1948.
Like its predecessors of the
past eight years, Current Bio-
graphy 1948, Who's News and
Why, is a one-alphabet cumula-
tion of articles and obituary
notices that appeared in the
monthly issues during the year,
revised and brought up to date
as of December 1948. Each
sketch includes a photograph
and references to additional mat-
erial. Considerable research
make possible impartial and ac-
curate biographical information,
while an informal style adds
readability.
A nine-year index, covering
1940 through 1948. includes the
names of all those whose bio-
graphies or obituaries have ap-
peared in Current Biography
from its beginning in January
1940 through the issue of Decem-
ber 1948.
THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS
ASK FOR U. S. FRIENDS
University students, business
school students, architecture,
law and medical students, — men
and girls — are begging American
college students to exchange let-
ters with them, so that they can
learn American ideas and points
of view.
"I am a displaced person from
Latvia," writes one boy. "I am
learning to be a chemist and my
favored hobby is journalism.
What has happend in the minds
of American college boys since
we were in our mental black-
out?"
Students who would like to
exchange ideas and discuss ques-
tions of the day (in English)
with the new generation in
Japan, with German students,
Dutch. Britsh, Greek, or others,
are urged to write to:
Letters Abroad
United Nations Council of
Philadelphia,
1411 Walnut Street
Philadelphia 2, Penn.
Simply give your age, wheth-
er you prefer to write a man or
girl, and what your chief in-
terests are. There is no charge,
as this service is being extended
by the United Nations Council
as a move towards greater
world understanding.

That boy from Atlanta was
here this week-end and Emma
wasn't TOO happy! Ah! Spring!
Completing that little four-
some was Ginny Bledsoe. Seem-
ed sort of like old times to have
Emma and Preacher, Shorty and
Ginny together again. Only
"Susanna" was missing.
In spite of everything, Dick
Kennedy's theme song remains
"wait For Me Mary"!
In Bristol the other day we
met John Caldwell's "reason"
for visiting Virginia Intermont
so often. Bunky goes over to
Bristol occassionally, too, we

Janie has fallen for a "muscle
man" from State it seems. Paul
is another baseball player, no
less.
Martha, do you always go
around falling through bridges?
It's nice to have Harlan to come
to your rescue though, isn't it?
The woebegone expression on
Lou's face has some connection
with her unexplained love for
the song "My Buddy."
"My Buddy" seems to be the
theme song for "ye Editor" also
but there the resemblence ends
— for Ellen can explain it all.
John Lyons says its— pardon
me, spring fever that put the
sparkle in his eyes and the
spring in his step, along with his
mother's cooking on these week-
ends at home, but we have our
doubts.
After 'Bama Lee's discussion
on the gardening he did while
home, especially the strawber-
ries, Charlie Anderson wants to
know what his object was in
a prolonged stop in Knoxville,
on his way back.
It's all right to have your in-
terests divided, Becky but do
they all have to be named Don?
If its love that makes the world
go 'round then we know why
Marcie is realty running around
in circles. Its hard to say which
sparkles more, her diamond or
her eyes.
Frances Elliott has an added
lustre in her cheeks and an
extra sparkle too. Spring really
brings out the diamonds.
The choir tour seems to have
been profitable for Ginng Sny-
der, Evelyn Large, Tom Archi-
bald, Anion McSwords and Joe
Sutherland, especially since
spring is in the air.
There are several girls in
Hardin Hall who are wondering
why E. S. S. Jr.'s first name is
Ken or is it a slip of the pen.
How about asking K. C. R.
■ I walked up the door
And shut the stairs,
I said my shoes
And took off my prayers.
I turned out my bed,
Jumped into the light.
Just because —
You kissed me goodnight.
It isn't spring fever that put

JUST A PAL
"Got a pen I can borrow?"
"Sure thing, pal."
'"Some paper, too?"
"Guess so."
"Going past the mailbox when
you go out?"
"Uh-huh."
"Wait till I finish this letter?"
"All right."
"Lend me a stamp?"
"Yeah."
"What's your girl's address?"
Don — I can't figure out why
you always yell "Stop" when I
try to kiss you.
Jean — And I can't figure out
why you always stop.
Prof. — Young lady, why do
you knit in my class.
Nelta — I need something to
ksep my mind occupied.
Dad asked the children what
they had been doing to help
mother.
"I washed the dishes," said
Bob.
"I wiped," said Betty.
"I picked up the pieces," said
little Mary.
"Did you borrow money on
your farm?"
"Did I? I have so many gov-
ernment loans that I have to
milk the cows with political
pull."
"Could you give a poor fellow
a bite?" asked the tramp.
"I don't bite myself" answer-
ed the lady of the house, "but
I'll call my dog."
J. A. Beeler — "Where did you
get that red lantern?"
Bill Beeler— "I just found it.
Some careless person' left it. by

Food For Thought
The great sin: Fear
The best day: Today
The best town: Where you
succeed
The best work: What you like
The best play: Work
The greatest mistake: Giv-
ing up
The most expensive indulg-
ence: Hate
The greatest stumbling block:
Egotism
The most ridiculous asset:
Pride
The most dangerous person:
The liar
The greatest need: Common
sense
The greatest puzzle: Life
The greatest mystery: Death
The greatest thought: God
The greatest thing, bar none,
in all the world is: Love.
Most of our pleasure consists
of work that we don't have to
do.
A good aim isn't enough.
You've got to pull the trigger.
Life is like a grindstone — it
can either polish you up or
grind you down.

LAMENT
I've painted on my heart, my

A target, not tog narrow;
And yet, my dears, in spite of

No — one will waste an arrow.
Milligan Swimmers

Three Milligan College swim-
mers were among those placing

swimming meet at the Univer-
sity of Tennessee Saturday April
2. Tennessee won the meet with
31 points.

ed fourth in the 100 yard free
style, while Bob Lacey captured
sixth place in the 50-yard free

ROAD THROUGH MILLIGAN
I am the ROAD, not just any
road, but the one that winds
its way through Milligan Col-
lege. I am the road that feels
the thrust of young spring form
under my hard crust or the set
of cold winter as it sticks its
icy finger in my brawn of gra-
vel. I am the road that you
walk on every day — maybe to
the post office, maybe to your
dorm, or maybe to the college
store. I am the road that feels
the burden of heavy hearted
students returning home, or the
light hearted teams as they
stroll victoriously back to their
studies.
I am the road that leads from
far off mountains or cities to the
valley of Buffalo Creek with its
weeping willows shedding their
tears to make that trinkle of
water that splashes over the
waterfall and goes endlessly on.
As I lie here, extended on-
ward can be seen the church —
white as the clean, sweet
thoughts that are brought from
within it. I see the tall maple
trees standing guard in front of
the buildings with their warmth
of home breaking out. These
guards heed me not as I wind
up through them and head to-
ward the store with its group of
boys on the porch and then on
again to Pardee. Off across the
green mat of lawn I can see
Hardin Hall, now quiet in the
evening shadows.
I am the road that knows
every one of you. I feel the
light tap of your shoes as your
spirits run high along with the
rhythm of your step. I feel the
trudging of feet as you grow
tired and weary. I feel the
friendliness of your salutations
to the comrades about you. I
feel the brightness of the tiny
heavenly bodies sending out
their sparkle at night. I feel
the wormth of the noon day
sun.
As days grow into weeks and
weeks into years and years into
centuries, I still see the beauty
of the campus, hear the murmur
of voices ,and feel the spirit of
friendliness at Miligan — for I
am the ROAD.— Shorty Maas.
The man who is satisfied with
himself is not very well ac-
quainted with himself.
It pays to do right, if we do
not do right to be paid.
THE MODERN MAN
Hurry the baby as fast as you
can,
Hurry him, worry him, make
him a man.
Off with his baby clothes, get
him in pants,
Feed him on brain food and
make him advance.
Hustle him, soon as he's able to
walk,
Into a grammer school; cram
him with talk.
Fill his poor head full of figures
and facts,
Keep on a-jamming them in till
it cracks.
Once boys grew up at a rational
rate,
Now we develop a man while
you wait.
Rush him through college, com-
pel him to grab
Of every known subject, a dip
and a dab.
Get him in business and after
the cash,
All by the time he can grow a
mustache.
Let him forget he was ever a
boy,
Make gold his god and its jingle
his joy.
Keep him a-hustling and clear
out of breath,
Until he wins — nervous prostra-
tion, and death.
— From "The King's Business"
FORGOTTEN TOMBS
In the cemetery behind Cheek
Activity Building on the Milligan
campus, there are more than a
score of unidentified graves. The
following article in three parts,
by Claude Callaway, tells the
tragic story of a %lorious dream
that did not materialize. It is
the account of a zealous student
who set out to build a great
school for his mountaineer peo-
ple.
In the cemetery to the rear
of Cheek Hall there are mon-
uments to the dead which have
very little, if any, fact to pub-
lish. Some graves, which, per-
haps have been landrnarked
with wooden slabs, have long
since given up the struggle to
the deteriorating elements of
time, while most of the mounds,
sunken from decay are designat-
ed, by rough-textured, weather-
ed limestone boulders.
In exploring among these
obscure sepulchers, I set the
imagination to work and tried
to construct a visionary picture
of the individual histories be-
hind these tenants of the ne-
glected tombs. For more con-
crete evidence, a search was
started in an attempt to unravel
these apparent riddles. At first
the efforts yielded no harvest.
The older people who would
have known the details had
passed on or moved away. The
present generation had not pre-
served any account of the
human remains which rest in-
oblivion behind Cheek Hall.
The investigation was tem-
porarily abandoned, until one
day in late 1947, I visited some
acquaintances in Ashe County,
Western North Carolina. In the
home was a loveable little lady
who had already passed ninety
milestones of age. Although
confined to her bed, she was
remarkably cheerful, and in-
sisted on telling some of the
experiences along her road of
life. In pointing out some relics
within her room, she designated,
with a not-too-steady finger and
oval-shaped Victorian portrait
on the wall. It displayed the
likeness of a young man, strong
of feature and gentle of ex-
pression. Jesse Franklin Houck
was a Milligan College student
who had died at school in 1890.
He was taken down with fever,
she continued to relate, and dy-
ing there was laid to rest on the
grounds of the school. No one
had taken the trouble to re-
member the exact whereabouts
of Jess's grave. The little lady
concluded her story by remark-
ing. "I could die satisfied if
someone would locate brother
Jesse's grave, so we could put
up a tombstone."
With a promise to continue
the search, I departed for Mil-
ligan once more.

ful Search)
Tennessee Tops Buffs
Tennessee took its second
straight game from Milligan by
thumping the Buffs by a count
of 22-5.
Tennessee got off to a flying
start by tallying six runs in the
first inning as well as six runs
in the second inning. The Vols
were greatly aided by eleven
beses on ball from Grindstaff
in the first inning. Each Vol
player got one hit but none got
more than two.

sed by Dr. Moore in regard to
their possibilities in the future.
Club members received helpful
suggestions regarding entrance
to medical schools, including
social contacts, fraternal organi-
zations, financial aspects and
academic problems. Many mis-
cellaneous questions of various
members regarding recent in-
novations in the field of den-
tistry and clinical research
were interestingly discussed by
Dr. Moore.

POLICY
To promote school spirit, good sportsmanship, and
fair-play, with emphasis on Christian Education.
"I AM A DEBTOR"
Rom. 1:14.
It is natural that we should feel insignificant when we think
of ourselves in comparison with God. When we think of our
own unworthiness, we marvel all the more at God's wondrous
love for us. Persons who are proud and boastful, and glory
in their own greatness, surely do not have a very definite con-
ception of God. God does not want us to despise ourselves, and
feel incapable of doing anything worthwhile, but we must al-
ways try to keep the balance between vaunting pride and self-
absasing humility. Paul says, 'Tor I say ... to every man . . .
not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but
so to think as to think soberly . . ." (Rom. 12:2-3.)
I know that I have not the right conception of God if I am
not aware of my .debt to my fellowmen. If ones heart is big
enough to take in God surely there will also be room for all
mankind. We are all indebted to God, and we also owe much
to our fellowmen. The best way to pay our debt to God is to
do something in his name for others. "If a man say, I love God,
and hated his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his
brother whom he hath seen, cannot love God whom he hath not
seen." (I Jno. 4:20) "But whoso hath the world's goods and
beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth .up his compassion
from him, how does the love of God abide in him?" (I Jno. 3:17.)
The sin of ingratitude is perhaps the most reprehensible of
which any person can be guilty. Failure to recognize our in-
debtness to God and man will result in this sin. If we approach
life with the attitude that the world owes us a living, we are
doomed to disappointment and failure. If we face the world
realizing our indebtness to God and man, and faithfully discharge
our obligations, surely we shall be called great among men.
Jesus said, "But he that is greatest among you shall be your
servant. And whosover shall exhalt himself shall be humbled;
and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted." (Matt.
23:11, 12.) The most inexcusable thing in the world is "man's
ingratitude to man."
Micah sums up the dual nature of man's responsibilty to man
and God: "What does Jehovah require of thee, but to do justly,
and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with thy God." (Miach
6:8).
Surely we must conclude with the Apostle Paul "I am a
debtor both to Greeks and Barbarians, both to the wise and to
the foolish. So as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the
gospel to you that are in Rome." (Rom. 1:14.)
Are we ready to serve, to pay our debt of gratitude to God
and man?

EDITING A NEWSPAPER IS NOT EASY
Some appear to think that running a newspaper is easy, but
from experience we can say that it is no picnic, because readers
are hard to please.
If we print jokes, people say we are silly.
If we don't, they say we are too serious.
If we clip things from other papers, we are too lazy to write
them ourselves.
If we don't, we are stuck on own stuff.
If we stick to the job all day, we ought to be out hunting
news.
If we do get out and try to hustle, we ought to be on the
job.
If we don't print contributions, we do not appreciate true
genius; and if we print, the paper is filled with junk.
If we make a change in the other fellow's copy, we are too
critical.
If we don't, we are asleep.
Now, like as not some guys will say we swiped this from some
other paper. And WE DID.

SPRING ROSES
This morn I saw a lovely sight
Which made my spirit sing.
There clothed in raiment crim-
son bright
Was the first rose of spring.
So shyly did it raise its head.
As if pleased with its lot.
So well it grew in verdant bed,
I passed and plucked it not.
I knew a life much like that
rose,
But now she's in the sod;
Through I picked not His first
spring rose,
My rose was plucked by God.
Perhaps I flowers should gather
now
And spread their beauty
'round
That a smile might crease some
furrowed brow
Ere six feet under ground.
The time to sow a loving deed
To help one on his way.
To plant some roses, fill some
need.
Is always just today.
The harvest season is not long;
All roses swiftly go.
If in some heart is left a song,
Sweet is the afterglow.
When Death draws down his
dusky veil.
May I leave with a smile,
I hope while on this fleeting
trail -
To live a life worthwhile.

FORGOTTEN TOMBS
(In the first installment of FOR-
GOTTEN TOMBS, by Claude Cal-
laway an account of particular un-
identified graves, with special refer-
ence to one belonging to a former
Milligan student, was given. The
article closed with the author's pro-
mise to the aged sister of the de-
ceased Jesse Houck that he would
make a search for the grave of her
brother.)
In quest for additional infor-
mation concerning Jesse F.
Houck, I was later led into the
deeper reaches of that section
of North Carolina. Over to the
home of Jesse's brother. Tom, a
retired Methodist divine, a per-
usal was made among old and
faded mementoes. This inves-
tigation produced a yellowed
and tattered copy of The Mil-
ligan Light, for October, 1890.
This sheet was a monthly news-
letter published in the interest
of the college, and .edited by
President and Mrs- Hopwood.
On to the residences of various
relatives of Jesse's more evid-
ence was collected and fit into
the total picture. There were
yellowed clippings and a golden
silk hatband, on which in em-
broidery were the initials J. F.
H. This keepsake Jesse had
given as a token of tender af-
fection to his mountain sweet-
heart.
Jesse's Aspirations
The people around young
Houck's home country speak of
him as having been a brilliant
youth. He grew up in his native
hills with not only an aptness
for the axe, the bull-tongue
plow, or the Daniel Boone rifle
but with an unquenchable thirst
for knowledge as welt Availing
himself of every meager oppor-
tunity, he laid hold upon all
experiences which might con-
tribute to his all round develop-
ment.
At the age of eighteen, young
Jesse heard of a school in East
Tennessee, where one could
educate himself, without regard
to his financial situation. This
was especially appealing to one
who had to help eke out a liv-
ing on the rugged slopes of
North Carolina's altamont. Soul-
builder and youth-lover Jose-
phus Hopwood had ridden his
faithful horse across the remote
inclines of the North Carolina-
Tennessee-Virginia country, sol-
iciting 'scholars' for his then
juvenile station of learning. To
this pioneer teacher, the bright
gleam in a youngster's eye was
passport enough to the advant-
ages of educational development
in the school at the foot of Buf-
falo Mountain-
Jesse had taken up the car-
penter's trade, and in company
with one of his neighbors, went
to Milligan to build a house for
President Hopwood- Between
his movements with the hatchet,
square, saw and hammer, Jesse
surveyed the situation about the
halls of learning. The magnetic
pull of the idea of Christian
education, sent him home to the
mountains with a determination
to come back as a student.
Encouraged by some of his
understanding neighbors, Jesse
Houck gathered up his little
stock of needed belongings, and
trekked his way across the hills
to Milligan College. This stud-
ent of promise had to begin his
scholastic labors somewhat be-
hind those of his own age. In
those days the College maintain-
ed a preparatory department in
order to accomodate the large
number of retarded pupils who
entered with little formal train-
ing.
Diligent Work and Study
For two years Jesse applied
himself diligently to his books,

FIESTA ESPANOLA

clamations like that which mean,
'■What a abeeg par- tee I'"* Peggy
Young was general chairman
and she along with Paula John-
son and Leonhard Maas decorat-
ed the President's Cottage with
true Latin American atmos-
phere. Everyone was dressed
appropriately. "Bunky" Bull
and John Caldwell were especi-
ally fetching "gauchos" while
Betty Smithson and Millicent
Combs made captivating "sen-
oritas."
Doris Arana was chairman of
the entertainment committee,
with assistance -from Herman
Wattwood and Miss Marie
Smith. The program consisted.
of the famous Mexican hat
dance "El Jarabe Tapatio" by
Doris Arana and Joaquin Seg-
arra; duet, "La Poloma," by
Evelyn Large and Lois Keys;
greetings from Puerto Rico by
Nydia Ballester; greetings from
Costa Rica by Carlos Robert;
games, songs ,and "La Raspa"
for the whole group; a "pinata;"
and the surpirse visit of Don
Manuel, bull-fighter from Mex-
ico, (Leonhard Maas) and El
Toro (Herman Wattwood).
Impromptu numbers included
a song from the the Puerto
Ricans and Carlos Robert; a
tango by Jo Spratt and Leon-
hard Maas; and songs' witar ac-
companiment by Roy Hampton.

the slate, the inkwell and the
carpenter's trade, clerking in a
general store, and performing
various, duties, financially steer-
ed him through his almost six-
year stay at the institution-
Entering upon his regular col-
lege studies in 1886, the student
had not as yet determined his
vocation in life. Once he ex-
pressed to his folks back home
that he had a strong inclination
to the ministry of the gospel
but later felt the urgent call to
the teaching profession- Hav-
ing experienced firsthand the
inadequacy of educational ad-
vantages, this student felt a
special commission to lend his
help in extending the opportun-
ity of enlightenment to the peo-
ple of the mountains. To this
task, Jessee Houck dedicated his
life with an almost passionate
fervor.
Under the guiding influence
of the Hopwood and others
of the Milligan family, the am-
bitious Carolinian accrued an
eviable record- Professor James
A. Tate made a profound im-
pression upon the plastic -life
of this youth. Some of Jesse's
classmates have since become
distinguished alumni of Milli-
gan College.
Upon the completion of his
sophomore year, Jesse went
home to Fleetwood, North Caro-
lina, and taught school one term-
In one season of teaching he
revolutionized the school pro-
gram. The roster of his eager
students increased rapidly and
consistently. When time came

SENIOR STATISTCS
LOIS KEYS seems to eat, sleep, and talk (or rather, sing)
music. She's been a choir member for four years here at Mil-
ligan, keeps scrap books of choir tours, directs the high school
choir at her church in Elizabethton, is major-
ing in music, and wants to teach grammar
school music after she graduates, but she is
interested in other things too, namely the
Christion Service Club and her minor, Span-
ish- When asked what she especially liked,
she drooled "cold fried chicken and diH pic-
kles!" Reluctantly, she added this, ■which
got quite a howl from those friends nearby:

years, part of which he spent at the Univer-
sity of Schrivenham in England. After finishing nere, he'll go
to Vandy for graduate work in medicine.
.Our honor editor, ELLEN AUSTIN, is usually found quite
busy. Besides the "Stampede," which takes
a lot of her time, she's active in the Chris-
tian Service Club, captain of a Gospel Team,
president of the Hiking -Club, treasurer of
Alpha Psi Omega, and secretary of the Dram-
atic Club. She loves to write a little on the
side, and does quite a bit of church work each
summer- Ellen is a major in religion, but
she expressed her hopes of teaching speech,

WOODROW LEON YOW, Elizabethtoii, spends
almost all his spare time in rasing beagle
hounds, hunting, or fishing. He attended
Fried-Hardeman Junior College, where he
graduated in the upper ten per cent and didn't
miss a day, which is a real record: He's a
business major, and has enough hours for
minors . in French, English, psychology, and
math. The University of Tampa in Florida
ls where he's headed for next year, to take
graduate work in education- By that time he feels he'll be
ready to teach education or business administration.
BTTJ.TK PRUITT, the pert young gal in the "pitcher" has led
what you might call the average college girl's
life. But don't for a moment think that means
mediocre- She's been on the Radio Com-
mittee, annual staff, "Stampede" staff, and
is a very active member of the Dramatic
Club and Alpha Psi Omega. Why. she's had
a hand in most of the plays that are put on
around here, whether it be in the capacity
of the leading lady or the character that
wields the grease paint. Billie is an Fng]jt=h

My "Idle Curiosity"
Curiosity? Why yes, I have
a curiosity. I have a curiosity
about anything and everything
I could call it "idle," but if I
would be perfectly frank, I'm
afraid I would have to admit
that it is over active at times.
How could anyone walk on
this earth five minutes without
developing a vital interest in all
that he beholds? How can any-
one look into the faces about
him and not wonder what lies
behind those sad eys? Or there
that face with the happy glow!
What causes that?
One can drink in knowledge
from the heavens, the earth,
his companions, his environ-
ment. If he will but let his
mind not only accept those
things which he beholds, but
also look for the secret behind
it, he will soon find that he has
a vast storehouse of knowledge.
Look, quickly, the bird on the
wing! Someone discovered his
secret, and behold! The air-
plane! Over there, the waterfall
Someone discovered its power

Examine 'this leaf. Did you know
that it breathes through tiny
pores of its skin? This flower —
what is its secret of lovliness?
Let's turn our attention in-
doors now. The library is an
excellent place to satisfy one's
curiosity. Browse leisurely
through it. Whenever I look
over the shelves, all the titles of
books sound so facinating that
I have to narrow my choice to
one subject. Even then it is
difficult to make a choice as to
which ones would prove the
most interesting.
Believe it or not, it is fun
to delve into the "why's and
wherefore's of things about
you. Try looking about you
with alert eyes to catch nature
off her guard. Maybe you will
learn a new secret which you
can share.
Just remember this: that it is
not only the proverbial "Merry
heart" that "hath a continual
feast," but also the mind that
is full of curiosity!
Student-Faculty
Volleyball Game
The students defeated the facul-
ty in a very close nandball game.
Both teams fought very hard but
the younger generation proved
to be the better. The first game
was won by the students by a
score of 15-6. The faculty re-
versed things and took the
second game by a score of 15-8.
The third game went into extra
play as both were tied at 15-15.
The students picked up two ex-
tra points to make the score 17-
15 which gave them the game
and the win.
The Buffalo Ramblers
On the evening of April 22, the
Buffalo Ramblers had a steak
fry at Prof. Hyder's. There was
plenty of delicious food besides
all the fun the members and
their guests had together around
theoutdoor fireplace. Everyone
went home feeling well satisfied
with the good times that were
had there.
The club is planning another
hike for the near future but
details will be given later.

over the Milligan Buffs in the
game at Mountain Home by a
score of 10-1.

RETROSPECT AND PROSPECT
In A Short History of the Christian Church, by M.
M. Davis, published in 1915, the author listed Milligan
College as a 'school of sterling worth.' Speaking of the
future of such schools as Milligan, Mr. Davis concluded
by writing "These smaller schools are fighting aginst
great odds. They are in danger of being ground to pow-
der between the lower millstone of the public school and
the upper millstone of state universities, and yet they
are essential to these larger ones as the thousands of small
tributaries are essential to the Mississippi River."
We are constrained td agree with the author of the
book just cited, that Milligan College does deserve its
place among the many educational institutions of the land.
The purpose for which this school was launched in 1882
was a noble one, and the reason for its existence has con-
tributed in large measure to its weathering the storms
for almost three quarters of a century. And today it has
earned its place of recognition among American colleges.
In the October 21, 1944 issue of Christian Standard an
article appeared under title "New Day Prosised For Mil-
ligan College." This item reviewed the colorful history of
Milligan and outlined a hopeful program for the future
Plans outlined were as follows:
An enlarged student body reaching up to
at least 500 students.
Adequate housing facilities for increased -
student body.
A faculty sufficiently strengthened to carry
on the instruction in an adequate manner.
. Increased endowment funds to undergird the .^. ■
program ancT place Milligan inacademic associa- -
tions comparable to other schools of this area.
Since 1944 some of these plans have grown into reality.
And now in the fall of 1949 the Alma Mater proudly stands
with doors flung open to young people of vision and
ambition who seek for Christian Education. He facilities
are offered to consecrated youth from homes of godly
parents to train for leaders in homes, churches, schools,
and in community service. During the many years of
service which Milligan has rendered, young people have
been sent out into life, enriched with the treasure of a
Christian education and character. She is justly proud
of her sons and daughters who have gone into all parts
of the world as doctors, lawyers, teachers, business people,
coaches, Christian workers anad ministers.
With the coming of Dr. Walker as captain of Milligans
program, we can anticipate a period of progress under his
guidance.
All indications are that the 1949-1950 session will
contribute well to the proud annals of Milligan College.
It augurs well for the future.
TOWARD A GOOD STUDENT NEWSPAPER
With the opening of the sixty-fifth session of Milligan
College The Stampede, student newspaper, anticipates a
great year in contributing to the betterment of the school
program and Milligan as a whole. The paper seeks to
be an impartial, accurate and effective medium of in-
formation among the student body and faculty.
There is always some criticism concerning school news-
papers. The Stampede is no exception. And perhaps it
is the criticism that shapes the newspaper into an in-
strument of usefulness among its patrons.
The staff of the Stampede is selected from among the
students in order to facilitate order and organization,
but we would remind the students that the paper is their
own project. We assure you that comments and sugges-
tions will always be appreciated. Moreover, these com-
ments and suggestions from you will be expected through-
out the year.
The staff will be making an honest effort to publish
that which is thought to be of interest to the greater
number of students. If the students have any suggestions
by which the service of the Stampede might be improved,
he is urged to not tell a roomate, but to tell the Stampede.
Contributions in the form of criticism or written articles
are always welcomed. The Stampede endeavors to un-
cover literary and artistice talent in the student body,
therefore the staff encourages an interest in every student
toward the production of the school paper.
A student newspaper is just what the students make
it. *Each one can contribute toward the making of a good
Stampede.
THANKS TO JOHN P. HASTY
We employ the pages of the Stampede to express, on
behalf of the students, faculty and friends of Milligan,
deep gratitude to John P. Hasty. A word of thanks is in
order inasmuch as he is responsible for the decoration
on the commanding sign located at the lower campus
entrance and for major improvements on the Prayer
Room. The guide marker, originally erected by the class
of 1947, now sports the school colors of orange and black.
Lettered in colonial design, the sign exhibits a fine piece
of workmanship. The artistic touches are from the hands
of Mr. Hasty. He also contributed much toward finishing
the Prayer Room in the Administration Building.
John Hasty is a 1948 graduate of Milligan. Through-
out his years of association with the school, he has mani-
fested a deep interest in his Alma Mater. John has taken
his rightful place in the ever-increasing family of Milligan
supporters. He represents a growing host of alumni who
demonstrate their undaunted loyalty to Milligan College

Welsheimer, dean of women.
Each team is organized with a
captain and the members under
his supervision. The captain is
responsible to the sponsor for
the entire program that is pre-
sented. The personnel is ar-
ranged so as to provide two
speakers, a devotional leader,
and a member or members to
furnish the musical part of the
program.
The first gospel teams were
formed and sent out through
the Christiana Service Group in
the fall of 1948- As early as 1946
independent teams were filling
appointments in the local area
around Milligan College. Then,
in 1948, under the leadership
of Joe Crain, the students in-
terested in this type of service
were organized into definite
groups.
These gospel teams go out on
the invitation of churches,
schools, hospitals, orphanages,
and civic clubs. In presenting
a well-balanced religious pro-
gram, Milligan and the purpose
for which the school exists and
functions, is offered to the pub-
lic.
Last year the gospel teams
were active and the service cov-
erage grew to include several
states. Through contacts made
with young people in the vari-
ous places visited, several stud-
ents have been influenced to
enroll at Milligan.
This year, plans are being
completed to send the gospel
teams to the following places:
outside the local area:

Pan American
Club Installed
"Learn Spanish And Have
A Good Time." Is Motto Of
New Language Organiza-
tion Theme.
On Tuesday, September 28,
thirty-five students organized
the only language club on the
Milligan campus. Miss Marie
Smith, professor of Spanish and
sponsos of Cloub Pan Americano
has announced the selection of
officers as: Randy Cooper, who
heads the organization, Joaquin
Segarra, vice president, and
program chairman, Doris Arana
is secretary, Jo Anne Greene,
treasurer, and Sally Bellamy, re-
porter. -
Membership is open to all
students of Spanish, past or pre-
sent.
On the evening of October 4,
this organization held a special
meeting for the purpose of ac-
quainting and initiating mem-
bers. On that occasion, the
prospective members were iden-
tified by a scarf worn around
the waist. At the approach of
an old member, the newcomers
were required to repeat the
motto of the club. Each initi-
atee was presented to the of-
ficers. For the boy officers, the
prospective member said 'Estoy
a sus ordenes," (I am at your
service), while the girl officers
rated the honor of "A sus pies"
(servant at your feet).
At the regular scheduled
meetings the first Tuesday even-
ing of each month, the members
of Club Pan Americano partici-
pate in Spanish games, sing,
play and listen to native Spanish
music. By this type of program
they endeavor to put to active
use the club motto "Aprenda
Espanola diviertase-Learn Span-
ish and have a good time."

Seen and Heard
Along The Way
A somewhat belwildered freshman, after having tossed
his luggage aside, looked around his new college home
with an atitude of skepticism. The ordeal of orien-
tation and these first unforgettable days "of standing in
line for registration produced a feeling of unrest. But
in the more hopeful moments of his first days of college
experience, he saw his adopted home taking on an atmos-
phere of frinedliness. Old timers of Milligan College
demonstrated the "big brother — big sister" system, and
the newcomer to the halls of learning began to feel at home.

shelves. Perhaps this was the

Center
This East Tennessee liberal
arts college, established in 1882,
continued its program through
the first World War. In World
War II, Milligan's entire facili-
ties were turned over to the
Navy, for training in the V-12
program. This was the only
school in the United States dur-
ing the war that had its pro-
gram completely given over to
the war cause. Several of the
students here during the V-12
training returned to continue
and complete their education.
The senior class last year was

since Milligan resumed its full-

SPORTS REVIEW
By JOHN SURCEY
The Buffaloes opened fall practice September 1, with Coach
Eddie Olds as their guiding hand. Eighteen lettermen returned
this year: Ends, Louis Glowacki, Don Jones, Sam Pridon, and
Kyle Middleton; Guards, Leroy Wright, John Vaccaro, and
Horace Broome. Tackles, John Bowers, Buford Calhoun, and

A. Beeler.'Bill Beeler, Don Lambert, Kerby LaughUn, and Frank
Kelly. Co-captains are George Dugger and John Vaccaro.
Wofford Game Opens Season
The Buffs opened the season in an encounter with a strong
Wofford College eleven, at Spartanburg, South Corolina. The
Tennessee turf-trodders put up a hard fight, although on the
bottom of the weight list. Wofford outweighed Milligan twelve
pounds per man in the line, and had the advantage of eight
rated the underdogs, and came out on the short end of the 27-7
pounds in the backfield. Milligan lost to Wofford by the score
of 41-0.
Emory and Henry Battle
On September 24, the Buffs traveled to Bristol to meet the
Emory and Henry Wasps. The Buffaloes trotted on the field
score. In this game the Buffs looked some better, but they were
still looking weak on their blicking and tackling.
The Wasps, scoring in every quarter and fumbling away two
other opportunities at the one-yard line in the first half, defeated
Milligan in Bristol's muncipal stadium for the first time since
1939. Milligan jumped out in front with a safety early in the
game when guard John Harrington and Dick Hester dumped
Jack Bible behind his goal line as he attempted to run the ball
out after a clipipng penalty had set the Buffs back to the one-
yard line. The Wasps scored a touchdown in the same frame.
Early inthe second quarter Emory put on another drive and went
to Milligan one-yard line, where Pat Spurgeon fumbled and
■ Don Roberts recovered for Milligan. Shortly afterwards Emory,
sparked by Bob Miller, drove to the same position only to have
Davis fumble where John Vaccaro recovered for Milligana.
Emory scored again in the third quarter when Miller intercepted
Dugger's pass on the nine. Davis passed to Miller in the end
zone for a touchdown. Davis scored again from the two yard
line behind good blocking of his teamamates. MiUigan's lone
touchdown came late in the third period, as George Dugger in-
tercepted a pass and returned it to the eighteen. A roughness
penalty put the ball down on the three, and from here Don
Lambert took the ball and went around his own right end for a
touchdown. Cap Hardin kicked the extra point.
First Win of Season Scored Over Tampa
The Buffaloes left for Florida on Wednesday of last week to
engage the University of Tampa eleven September 30 The
Milligan herd emerged into the win column as they defeated
the Univeristy of Tampa 20-19, giving the Buffs the first win of
the season against two defeats. Blount brought the customers
to their feet as he returned the kickoff forty yards to midfield,
a pass, Forest to King put the ball on the Milligan 39-yard line.
However, Kennedy intercepted a third down pass by Forest to
end the drive. A second Spartan drive was stopped on the 22-
yard line when four pass plays failed to connect.
The Buffaloes, paced by Lambert and Dugger rammed the
Spartan line to midfield, but Franks fumbled to stop the drive.
On the first play by the Spartans, Schamberg ran around right
end 49 yards for a touchdown. The try fox point failed. Unable
to gain against the Tampa line, Milligan took to the air, and
White intercepted on the line. On first down, Forest attempted
to pass, but intercepted by Cliff Winters. The Milligan center
ran 22 yards for a touchdown. Cap Hardin put the Buffaloes
out in front wth his place kick for the extra point. With twenty
seconds remaining in the first half, Jack Thornberg fell on a
fymble on the 16-yard line. Gene Goff went into the game and
threw a pass to Kennedy for another touchdown. Hardin came
through again with the extra point. The first half ended with
the Buffs out in front 14-6.
Tampa scored on the most spectacular play of the game
in the third period, a pass, Schamberg to Aplin, a lateral to Hill
and another lateral to King, who ran for a touchdown. The play
was good for 63 yards. Schamberg passed to Aplin for the point,
making it Milligan 14, Tampa 13.
Schamberg set up another "TD" by intercepting Dugger's
pass and running to the Milligan 19 yard line. From there the
Spartans drove to the one yard line, where Shamberg lofted
a pass to Aplin for the third touchdown. As the quarter ended
Tampa was ahead 19-14. A wild pass from center gave Milligan
the ball on the 21 yard line early in the fourth quarter. On
second down Don Lambert shot a pass to Dugger in the end
zone to put Milligan out front 20-19.
Warren Gustafson wa sinjured in the playing of the fourth
quarter and was removed from the Game.
The Buffaloes will meet Tusculum on the Pioneers' home
ground October 8.
BACKING THE BUFFS Buffs-Pioneers
AN EDITORIAL
We refer to an editorial in the Emory and Henry Col-
lege White Topper, issue of September 27, which should
serve to remind us of the unlimited support of student and
faculty support for our Milligan College Buffaloes. The
editorial comment from the Emory and Henry newspaper
was in reference to the E and H — Milligan gridiron battle
September 24.
"Sure, WE won the game anyway, but had the score
been determined by student support, Milligan would have
gone home with the honors," said the E and H journal.
Although we recognize the fact that there are certain
qualities that go into the making of a winning team, we
cannot overlook the fact that the backing of a school for
its team makes a decided difference in the team's perfor-
mace on the field.
We at Milligan College should assume an attitude of
indebtedness to our rival institution for driving home to
us the lesson suggesting the significant part the student
can play in backing up the team. Surely, we agree that
enthusiasm counts. Yet we are prone to forget that school
spirit is an element which contributes in undiminished
measure toward the victory of any team.
Here at Milligan, we too, are convinced that we pos-
sess a spirit worth yelling about. In the four home games
that are forthcoming, we'll have the opportunity to let
everbody know about the school and the team we praise
to Tennessee's eastern skies.
Although we have been impressed by the exhibition
of spirit on the part of the freshmen, it above all else —
behoves the upperclassmen to furnish leadership in waft-
ing around the outburst of Milligan spirit, which will go a
long way toward the victory.
An undeserved endorsement on the part of every
student and faculty member can help the Buffalo Herd
record the honors.
Fight To 7-7
Deadlock
The Milligan Buffaloes tied
the Tusculum College Pioneers
7-7 last Saturday night in
Greeneville. In a tussle be-
tween evenly matched elevens,
Milligan was forced to come
from behind in the third period
to tie up the game.
Early in the struggle Tuscu-
lum marked up a touchdown.
Bill Caton did the scoring for
Tusculum, and Douney booted
the extra point.
Neither team showed further
progress until in the third quar-
ter, when Milligan pulled her-
self into a tie. J. A. Beeler
scored a touchdown and Cap
Hardin kicked the extra point
Dn second try.
Milligan was charged 65 yards
in penalties, while Tusculum
drew 120 yards.

Robert Milligan Was Versatile
Educator, Prolific Writer
Man For Whom College Is Named Was Out-
standing Thinker Of His Time
Religious leader, educator,
author — these are broadly de-
scriptive of Scotch - Irishman
Robert Milligan, whose name
Milligan College proudly bears.
True to Longfellow's statement
Tor when a great man dies,
For years beyond our ken,
The light he leaves behind him

Upon the paths of men'
Robert Milligan's life, character,
influence have been imbued
into the lives of the multitudes.
Milligan, born in County Ty-
rone, Ireland, July 25. 1814, was
a son of John and Margaret
Milligan. Four-year-old Robert,
with his parents, emigrated to
the United States in 1818. The
family settled in Ohio territory,
near the town of Youngstown.
The precocious boy attended a
preparatory school at Zelienople
and Jamestown, Pennsylvania.
A few years later, Milligan mi-
grated to Flat Rock, Bourbon,
Kentucky. It was here that he,
in 1837, opened a classical
school of his own.
His Interest In Religion
As a proficient Greek scholar,
Robert was soon convinced of
the merit of the Restoration
Movement within the church at
that time. He united with that
religious movement in 1838,
and enthusiastically supported
the gestures toward church
unity, 'as fostered by Alexander
and Thomas Campbell.
Turning again to educational
pursuits, he entered Washington
College, Chestertown, Mary-
land, and in the limited time of
one year, earned his bachelor of
arts degree. Shortly after his
graduation, Milligan was made
professor of English in that in-
stitution.

POLICY
To promote school spirit, good sportsmanship, and
fair-play, with emphasis on Christian Education
Education makes a people easy to lead but difficult to
drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.
— Lord Brougham.
THE ORCHESTRA— INVITATION AND
CHALLENGE
The college orchestra, now in process of formation, oc-
casions a word in the interest of this much-needed organi-
zation. Convinced that the cultural attainment of musical
education and appreciation is a vital part of college ex-
perience, we cannot overemphasize the need of an instru-
mental group to make its contribution to school life. '
For the unselfish efforts towards the building of the or-
chestra, it is fitting to say that Professor and Mrs; E. Gor-
don Warner are deserving of special commendation. Under
their planning and guidance a dream has started on the
road to reality. We have seen the Concert Choir, under
the Warners' direction, grow into a precision organization.
And now it is under this same capable direction that Mil-
ligan takes a step forward in the building of a better and
more diversified school program. With a growing music
department, sufficient talent, and proper cooperation, Mrs.
Warner, the conductor, will be able to fashion this musical
group into a structure well deserving of importanace in the
life of the school.
We have seen the hopes of a full band at Milligan re-
duced to naught through lack of interest and participation.
Now that the orchestra is being formed, this project shows
greater possibilities of survival. It can function with fewer
members. Moreover, we feel that the interest on the part
of those who have turned out for rehearsal is indicative of
success.
We of the Stampede appeal to the entire school for pro-
motion and maintenance of the orchestra. Especially need-
ed are additional recruits who own instruments and have
the ability and willingness to use them.
We have the leadership in the conductor. And out of
more than three hundred students, surely there is ample
talent. To employ and develop this talent is the job re-
maining.
Let us be equal to the task.
WHO'S GUILTY?
In any city where an attraction demands that customers
line up to purchase tickets, one seldom sees people crowd
into line. Usually the lines are orderly and people await
their turn. This is an example of fair play which be appli-
cable to us at Milligan. It has been to our encouragement
that Milligan has always boasted a select group, made up
of people of Christian background, and usually of above
average intelligence. Naturally, from such a group one
expects to see exhibited a higher code of ethics — behavior
should be on a higher plane. While the behavior of most
Milliganites is well above average, there is one malady
of conduct which several are guilty of. We refer to line
crowding. We do not desire to go on record as being pes-
simistic, but only to call attention to that condition which
exists. An Elgin railroad watch will attest to the fact that
waiting at the end of a full line and going completely
through consumes little more than five minutes, even with
a constant flow of line crowders.
Five minutes is very little time to donate in the interest
of fair play. Surely each of us can donate that much time.
Be we faculty or student, the next time we are tempted
to crowd into line, let us remember how many people we
would be cheating for five stingy minutes of our own time.
Why not remember the other fellow and wait patiently in
line. From our physiology classes we learn that digestion
is aided if we do not get in too big a hurry. Waiting our
turn in line will enable us to respect each other so much
more. Be fair.

ligious history, commissioned
Robert Milligan to preach in
1844. The young theologian be-
came a traveling evangel. His
itinerary extended over an area
of many states, and because of
his travels, never held a regular
pastorate. His religious activities
earned for him a commanding
influence in the Christian
Church.
Many-Sided Professor
Robert Milligan gave twelve
years of untiring service to
Washington College, in Mary-
land. While there he instructed
in English and the classics.
Later, he was professor of
chemistry and natural sciences.
Leaving Washington College, he
taught one term at Indiana Uni-
versity. In 1854, Milligan joined
the faculty of Bethany College,
West Virginia, as head of the
mathematics department. By
this time clouds of civil conflict
were beginning to appear over
the Union. One year before the
outbreak of the War between the
States, Milligan was chosen as
president of Kentucky Uni-
versity. —
Steers Kentucky University
Through Civil War
Kentucky University was at
that time located at Harrods-
burg. There the educational
leader offered courses in sacred
history and mental and moral
philosophy. Through the dark
and difficult days of the Amer-
ican civil ordeal, Milligan man-
aged Kentucky University with
outstanding skill. Giving up the
presidency of that seat of learn-
ing in 1865, he accepted the po-
sition as head of the newly-
formed College of the Bible,
Lexington. This was a part of
what is now Transylvania Col-
lege, oldest school of higher
learning west of the Alleghe-
nies. Here, President Milligan
held his position until death,
March 20, 1875.
His Literary Endeavors
While yet a young professor
of mathematics at Bethany Col-
lege, Robert Milligan put his
hand to the task of writing for
the most outstanding religious
journal of that day. The Millen-
niel Harbinger. This periodical
was founded and edited for sev-
eral years by the illustrious
Alexander Campbell, builder
and first president of Bethany
College. Mr. Milligan was co-
editor with Campbell of the
Harbinger. This was during the
years from 1852 to 1859.
The last ten years of his life,
the versatile educator produced
several works, all of a religious
nature. Milligan's published
works include "Reason and
Revelation," 1868; "The Great
Commission of Jesus Christ to
the Twelve Apostles," 1871; "An
Exposition and Defense of the
Scheme of Redemption," 1869;
"An Analysis of the New Test-
ament," 1874. A posthumous
work appeared in 1876, which
was a commentary on the Epis-
tle to the Hebrews.
Schoolmaster of Milligan
College Founder
In 1868, Josephus Hopwood,
young Union veteran, just back
from the Confederate Prison.
Richmond, Virginia, transferred
from what is now Eureka Col-
lege, in Illinois, to Transylvania
College. There in the autumn
of 1868, Josephus became ac-
quainted with President Robert
Milligan, of the College of the
'GLDEONITES VERSUS MIDIANrrES' . . . ?
Coming Milligan-State Game
Likened To Biblical Narrative
Genial Professor Hodge Mathes, adopted Milliganite, who
brought his loyalty here from East Tennessee College, recently
directed a part of his lecture in Drama Class to a lighter vein
The instructor came up with an interesting and predictive com-
ment on the Milligan-State pigskin tussle, scheduled for No-
vember 19.
Commenting upon this forthcoming football event, grand fi-
nale of the season for both institutions, the professor made clear
that he, upon coming to Milligan after more than a score of years*
teaching at State, brought along his full measure of loyalty to the
school which the Buffalo Herd represents. He added "You can
know assuredly the place I'll be sitting at the game November 19."
"Inasmuch as Milligan will be competing with a school six
times its size, you'd think we wouldn't have much of a chance,"
he sighed.
With a vivid allusion to the Biblical chronicle of Gideon
versus the Midianites, the venerable teacher drew an illustration
and applied it to the two schools.
"Now the Midianites made up a mighty host, but with a hand-
picked army of three hundred. General Gideon scattered the
hosts of the enemy," the lecturer iterated with a chuckle. Gideon
had many to pick from, but the Lord told him to send home all
who were afraid to fight, so by elimination he got the best and
won the victory."
"Likewise," continued the cordial professor, "Milligan and
its three hundred will be going to battle against the hosts of State
College. " With courageous Coach Gideon Olds to lead us
— who knows, maybe history will repeat itself November 19."
Bible. It is at this point that
the real story of Milligan Col-
lege begins. Under the influ-
ence of the Bible College Presi-
dent, Hopwood caught a vision
that culminated several years
later in two liberal arts colleges,
a Bible college and a mountain
mission school. There under the
instruction of Milligan, the en-
ergetic student dreamed of
building schools, writing books,
and of leading young people
upward in the race of life. From
Transylvania College, Hopwood
withdrew for lack of finances.
He taught a subscription school
on the edge of the Cumberland^
of Kentucky, and was thus en-
abled later to graduate from
Abingdon College.
With the indelible impression
of Robert Milligan upon the life
of Josephus Hopwood, the call
of the Tennessee mountains was
answered in 1881. Taking over,
in April of that year, what had
existed as Buffalo Male and Fe-
male Institute, the corner stone
of the first building was laid at
Milligan College.
Milligan's Name Given
To College
Josephus Hopwood recorded
in his memoirs "The question of
a name for the school was first
to be settled. The students spoke
out enthusiastically, *Let's call
it Hopwood College,' but this I
did not think best at alL I
spoke to students and friends
assembled, dedicating the build-
ing to the cause of Christian
education, announcing the name
Milligan College. The name was
given, as was explained to the.
assembly in honor of the late
Robert Milligan, the purest and
oest man I have known."
Portrait A Gift To School
In the spring of 1947, Miss
£thel Milligan, niece of the il-
lustrious educator, visited Mil-
igan and brought along a fam-
ly treasure, a framed portrait
of her famous uncle. Appro-
priate ceremonies in an assem-
bly program marked the dedi-
cation of this piece of photo-
graphic art to Milligan College.
The engraving appearing on
page one of this issue of the
Stampede, was made from the
portrait given by Miss Milligan
of Poland, Ohio. The Stampede
bears the distinction of carry-
ing this picture for the first time
ever in newsprint

of five volumnes, (when com-
pleted), on the history of the
Second World War. The pictures
on exhibit in the library, ba^ed
upon the Englishman's story,
describe those days when his
country was undergoing her
crisis of defeat and depict the
glory of her supreme existence
and the triumph of her return-
ing might.
We now know from captured
German archives that, long be-
fore the fall of France, Hitler's
Admiralty had been studying a
plan for the invasion of Britain.
Preparations were speeded up
after the French surrender, and
Hitler's Directive No. 17 order-
ed intensified air attacks on
Britain to begin August 5, 1940
as preparatory to the invasion. .
Both sides realized that a suc-
cessful invasion would depend
on who had. air superiority over
the Island.
It is these months of 1940
that are vividly portrayed in
THEIR FINEST HOUR. First,
the Invasion Threat: a number
of exhibition panels are devoted
to this phase, and show an in-
vasion plan and the counter-
measures undertaken by Brit-
ain. Part Two of the exhibition
is concerned with The Battle of
Britain and the almost super-
human efforts of British airmen
who with their small Spitfires
defeated the German air ar-
mada. Part Three deals with
The Blitz. ^discriminate mass
air attacks began on London and
spread to other cities. The great
fire of London caused by the
incendiary attack, December 29,
1940 and the raid on Coventry
are but two of the ordeals suf-
fered by civilians during these
months.
The many moving and dra-
matic photographs are supple-
mented by reproductions of
drawings and paintings. The
text, composed from Mr.
Churchill's great war speeches,
raises the whole exhibition to
heroic proportions. It is indeed
a visual document to that time
when, "if the British Empire
and its Commonwealth last for
a thousand years, men will say.
This was their finest hour'."

Milligan Went On Annual Fall Outing And
Learned A Colorful Chapter Of American History
Mountain-Loving Cherokees Defied
Removal Order; Stayed In
Land Of Great Smokies
Eastern Remnant Of Indian Nation Lives At
Peace On 63,000-Acre Reservation
In the midst of the scenic
grandeur of the Great Smoky
Mountain National Park live a
band of Cherokee Indians, a
people whose story is filled with
richness and drama. Around
their village appropriately
named "Cherokee," these Red
Men live on a reservation two
thousand feet in the clouds.
Cherokeeland, or Qualla Res-
ervation spreads over an area
of 63,000 acres. Here live about
3,000 descendants of the valiant
tribesmen who had their way
when the national government
commanded the Cherokees to
move westward.
These people at one time pos-
sessed land lying in parts of the
present Tennessee, the Caro-
linas, Alabama, Kentucky and
Georgia. Never an Indian to
dwell in tepees, the Cherokee
had planted substanatial homes.
The then juvenile American re-
public recognized the power of
these tribesmen, and effected
over thirty treaties with them
between 1721 and 1836.
History's Page Blotted By
Trail Of Tears
In 1826 precious yellow metal
was discovered in Georgia, on
land within the Cherokee range.
Clamor for the gold grew to
a maddened rush. Treaties,
promises, and human consider-
ation perished in the stampede.
Finally these land snatches were
'legalized' by the Treaty of
1835 and became the Removal
of 1838. The few years that fol-
lowed bore witness to an ignoble
deed in history.
The Cherokees, all the time
protesting, were uprooted from
their native soil and many
transplanted in the Cherokee
Strip of Oklahoma. This popu-
lation transfer used 7,000 sol-
diers, who carried out orders
reluctantly. Grim figures reveal
that 4,000 persons gave up life
through sickness and malnutri-
tion. This poignant memory in
the lives of the Cherokees is to-
day spoken of with repugnance.
Some Died Fighting
Chief Tsali and his two sons
gave their lives in 1836 so that
their people might remain in the
Land of the Great Smokies. In
large part these three tribesmen
were martyrs to a lost cause.
The Eastern band — those who
refused to remove to Oklahoma,
took to the coves and caves of
the rugged Smokies and even-
tually were left to live on their
beloved land. But the fight to
stay home had reduced them to
a tattered remnant. They inter-
married with the white high-
landers, until today there are
few full bloods out of the 3,000
members of the tribe in the
Smokies.
These actors in the drama of
a glorious past retain some of
their tribal customs. Divorce is
unknown. Although their cul-
ture has been modified, they
still live close to the land and
obtain from it a subsistence.
Tribal Government
Still prevailing is the tribal
form of government. A chief
and vice-chief are elected by a
public vote of the people. The
women have right of suffrage.
The Cherokees boast the first
written alphabet of the civiliz-
ed tribes. It was Sequoyah
whose patient labors resulted in
a thought-conveying system of
symbols, adapted to the pecu-
larities of the Cherokee tongue.
The Cherokees answered the
war whoop for England in the
American Revolution, but by
1794 converted themselves to the
cause of the new republic, ac-
cepted parts of the new way
of life, and put away the war
hatchet.
With the bitter years of an
imperfect past behind them, the
Cherokees of the Great Smokies
have settled down to the pur-
suits of being neighbors worth
knowing, and living like they
want to live.
MISS WANDA COIL is one
of those "Hoosier Hot Shots"
that aren't too common 'way
down here in the hills of Ten-
nessee. She was born, reared,
educated in Indiana — and holds
two degrees from Butler Uni-
versity in Indianapolis. Coming
right to Milligan two years ago,
this versatile red head is already
the sponsor of the Hiking and
Dramatic Clubs, and is a whiz
of a cook besides all she has to
do. (Numerous students will
testify to that!) She says that
when she was small she had
high hopes of being a nurse or
famous singer, but decided that
teaching was more to her taste.
Now her ambitions include es-
tablishing a religious leadership
training camp in this area, and
traveling to Japan in the near
future, maybe this summer. She
likes Milligan especially because
"it is the type of school that not
only gives an education but
builds character as well," and
feels it really has something to
offer. In like manner, we think
she has something to offer the
school.
THE POWER OF WORDS
There is much concern now about the power of the Atom.
Why must we be so concerned, as long as WORDS are as
powerful as they are? How can this be that words are even
more powerful than any other of man's inventions?
Words convey thoughts. Thought is a product of the
mind. The mind is governed by the inner heart. Words not
only convey thought . . . they influence people; they sway
other minds to like thinking. So, words from a good heart
will produce good thinking in others; and good thinking
will provoke good doing. Good deeds then are the fruits
of a good heart. Power generated in a good heart is con-
veyed to other hearts!
Since thoughts are conveyed by the use of words,, it
follows that words are as powerful as thought. Words sway
the multitudes, because they direct the thinking of the
multitudes. Incorrecly used, they cause war and destruc-
tion. They have incited nations to rise against nation, they
have left a trail of heartaches and misundertsandings, they
have broken homes and separated loved ones, they have
distored true thought and have covered facts; in fact, most
mistakes of the masses have been brought about by the
power of words.
Little wonder that the scriptures admonish us to hold
our tongues, and to refrain from idle words, and to speak
the truth. Because, the truth and the truth alone, as re-
vealed in the Word of Words, will save the world. The
Word of God is powerful to transform men and women to
a state of peace with each other and with God. If words
are based upon truth, and sown in fruitful ground, they
will become more powerful to the good than the atomic
arms can be to the bad. Words are powerful!

Fireside Philosophy
Versatile fourth-year Milli-
ganite Stuart K. Widner, pastor
of Belvue Christian Church
flock, Kingsport, comes up with
some interesting observations on
a lot of things. He shares with
us a bit of his homespun phil-
osophy each Monday and
Wednesday during the vacant
chapel period. Over leaky
paper cups of tepid coffee
down at Puckett's, our educa-
tional process is continued, in
highly interesting vein. No col-
lege classroom affords such
manner of teaching. Beneath the
vociferations of the nickelo-
deon's "Put Your Shoes On,
Lucy." we have salvaged these
sayings of the student -philos-
opher:
The wheel that squeaks the
loudest gets the grease.
Fools gold is gold that has
been minted into coin.
Preachers are dumb. They
are the last people to learn that
they can't satisfy everybody.
The measure of life is not its
span but the use made of it.
Someone once said, "When I
am blue and discouraged, I sit
down and call the roll of my
blessings." Maybe WE ought to
try that often.
Nobody knows or cares WHAT
you believe unless you LD/Eit.
We never get too old to learn
— just too hardheaded.
The chances are that if you
are deceived. SELF did it.
When we wait for something
to turn up, we should start with
our shirt sleeves.
We can never take up where
we left off . . . It isn't there
any more.
Grandma said "You'd as well
eat the devil as to drink his
broth."

Bright Prospects
For Burlev Bowl
J
Annual Pigskin Classic
Expected To Attract
Record Crowd
Carl A. Jones, Jr., Chairman
of the Burley Bowl Committee,
announces that a heavy demand
for tickets to this year's Thanks-
giving classic in Johnson City,
is expected to exceed even the
record-smashing crowds of a
year ago. The committeeman
cautioned all those planning to
attend the game "to get tickets
early and be assured of seats."
A special advance sale of
tickets was conducted from Oc-
tober 18 to 22, in an effort to
accommodate early buyers and
fans from out of town who
wished to purchase their tick-
ets by mail.
All admission checks to the
Burley Bowl contest sell for
S2.40 each. It is announced that
there will be no change of
price made at game time, and
those delaying too long may
have to witness this show on
the gridiron standing up.
Early in November a regular
ticket office will be set up at a
centrally located spot in John-
son City. This office will remain
open from early until late,
right up to game time Thanks-
giving Day.
An Exchange Of Languages
Graduates Teach In Puerto Rico
SPORTS REVIEW
By MICHAEL KOSTKO
Milligan Holds Blue Raiders
C
Favored Stetson Blank Bufaloes
Martha Bunton
Two Milligan girls. Class of
1949, are leading a school
teacher's life in Puerto Rico,
easternmost island of the Great-
er Antilles. They are Nydia Bal-
lister and Martha Bunton.
Miss Ballister, a native Puerto
Rican, is on the English staff of
San Sebastian High School She
came all the way to Milligan
College, and after four years,
returned to her home town to
exchange her native Spanish for
the English. In this school of
approximately three hundred
students, Miss Ballister instructs
the eighth grade in grammar
and literature. A study of the
English is required all four
years in the island's high school
curriculum.
"While at Milligan Nydia's
chief academic interest was
psychology. She will be rem err: -
bered as a singer of Latin-
American songs on the campus.
Miss Martha Bunton, native
East Tennessean, from Eliza-
bethton, also teaches English in
a special class and in a school
at Adjuntas. The town, in the
southwestern part of this "West
Indian island, is situated in a
Nydia Ballister
range of mountains- Martha
sends news to the effect that
this location is agreeable to her,
in that the mountain setting is
ajmibr to that at Milligan.
Miss Bunton was an outstand-
ing student while at Milligan
In her senior year she was in-
strumental in organizing and
was first president of the Serv-
ice Seekers Club, young wom-
en's religious organization- She
was senior editor of the year-
book last year, and_in 1948-49
was selected for Who's Who in
American Colleges and Uni-
versities.
Martha!s teaching duties cen-
ter around a class of Puerto
Rican war veterans, and the
eighth grade of the school in
Adjuntas. She conducts both day
and night classes.
Miss Ballister will teach in
San Sebastian for an indefinite
period. Miss Bunton is contract-
ed for one year at Adjuntas.
The two Milligan girls work
approximately seventy miles
apart- Nydia lives at home,
while Martha rents in a private
home, near a camp of Protestant
missionaries from the United
States.
PROFESSOR E. GORDON
WARNER has quite a past— but
it's certainly a good one. This
interesting Ohian was the chess
champion in his college, and re-
mained in Ohio teaching music
and history in a high school
there for thirteen years. He
then "trouped" for two seasons,
1944-M5, as tuba player in the
Ringling Brothers, Barnum and
Bailey Circus band. It was in
July of 1944 that the company
experienced the worst circus
fire disaster in history at Hart-
ford, Connecticut Even though
there was a panic during which
164 people were burned to
death, the band traditionally
stayed on the job until the last
person was out of the big top.
It was a month before the troupe
was active again.
Prof. Warner came to Milli-
gan four years ago, and thinks
the college "has definitely pro-
gressed, the attitude of the stu-
dent body being superior to any
before." In his opinion great
steps have been made, and he
emphasized that ifs the best
choir yet! He started the choir
bis first year here, and this
year he's organizing an orches-
tra. Even though he's covered a
lot of ground with the choir
lately, (incidentally his nick-
name 'Tgor" .came from last
year's tour), he'd someday like
to study the past in Europe.
Church Membership of
Students Numbers 279
Of the 303 students enrolled
here, ninety-two per cent are
affiliated with ten church
groups.
A Christian Church member-
ship of 152 leads the total list-
ing of 279; Baptists take second
position with 54, and third dis-
tinction goes to the Methodists
with 37 members. Presbyterians
number 14. Twelve are listed as
Catholic. There are five Luther-
ans and two Brethren. The
Evangelical Reformed, Evan-
gelical United Brethren, and
Methodist - Episcopal churches
are represented by one affiliate
each.

To 13-13 Tie
The Milligan Buffaloes bat-
tled a favored Stetson team to
a 13-13 tie in the annual Home-
coming game. The inspired
Buffs broke the scoreless dead-
lock late in the second quarter
when Dick Kennedy jump-
passed to his running mate
Kirby Laughlin who caught the
ball on the eight yard line and
scampered across for the initial
TD. Cap Hardins' extra point
was good to give the Buffs a
7-0 lead at halftime.
The Hatters from DeLand,
Florida, who had been held to
a minus 22 yards in the first
half by a stout Milligan line,
began to move with a march
mid-way in the third quarter.
Broadway for the visitors re-
turned a Milligan punt some 18
yards to the Buffs 43. Grind-
staff of Stetson passed to his
end Everett for 12 and on the
next play Bill Dunne ran for 15
yards to the Buffs' 15 yard. On
three consecutive plays Cola-
greco carried the ball with the
last carry resulting in the score
for the visitors. End Don Jones
blocked the vital extra point.
Milligan's second and final
score came about when Dick
Kennedy again passed to Kirby
Laughlin who was in the clear
on the Stetson 34. From there
the Buff ace punter and carrier
ran it to the visitors' 4 yard line.
Two plays failed to gain for the
locals but on the next play Bill
Beeler threw a perfect spot pass
to end Kyle Middleton who
caught it in the end zone for the
TD. Cap Hardins' extra point
was blocked.
An intercepted pass set up the
tying score for Stetson. A short
pass over the center was inter-
cepted by Mancino of the visi-
tors. He caught it on the Milli-
gan 41 and raced to the 14 be-
fore he was pulled from behind.
However, on the play Stetson
drew a 15 yd. clipping penalty
and the ball was brought back
to the 29. Two plays failed to
gain anything for the Hatters,
but on the third attempt a per-
fect pass from Mancino to end
Joe Raffaele in the end zone,
scored the 12th point for the
Hatters. The all important point
was kicked by Bobby Williams.
Outstanding performers for
the visitors were Colagreco,
Mancino and BUI Dunne. For
the Local Buffaloes the Ohio
"Twins" Dick Kennedy and
Sirby Laughlin.
By 19-0 Score
J
The Blue Raiders of Middle
Tennessee State proved too
much for their hosts, the Milli-
gan Buffaloes, in routing them
to the tune of 19-0. The visitors
scored freely in the first, third
and fourth quarters. The home
fans had very little to cheer
about as they saw their favor-
ites make only one serious
threat and that came in the fi-
nal quarter when Henry Bernat,
the Milligan center, blocked a
punt and recovered it for the
Buffs. However, the threat end-
ed rather abruptly when a short
pass from Goff to end Kyle
Middleton was intercepted.
The Blue and White crossed
the goal line midway in the
first quarter when McCoy ran
the ball some 18 yds. to the
Milligan 18. On the next play
Max Arnold scampered around
left end to the one yd. line. A
quarterback sneak by John
Smith payed off for the initial
score of the game. Team man-
ager Bill Fandrick kicked the
extra point. Another scoring
threat by the invaders was
stopped when a 15 yd. penalty
was called and a pass intercep-
tion. The half ended with the
score 7-0.
The third quarter saw the
Blue and White score again
some 10 minutes later. Co-Cap-
tain Dugger was nailed by a
whole host of State linemen
which resulted in setting up the
next TD for the visitors. On the
first play on a well executed
end around play, Adams took
the ball on a handoff and, be-
hind beautiful blocking and run-
ning, ran some 42 yds. for the
second score. The third and fjnsl
score for the victors came about
late in the final period when
McCoy returned a Milligan
punt 34 yds. to the Milligan 35.
A pass, plus a lateral, took the
ball to the Herd four yd. line.
On the following play Harris,
oh an off-tackle play, scored
easily.
The boys from Middle Ten-
nessee had all the better of the
statistics. They picked up 16
first downs to the Herds' 6.
gained 275 yds. rushing to Mil-
ligan's 81, and added 38 yds.
thru the air to the Buffs' 50.
The crowd was somewhat dis-
appointed in the showing of
former U. S. star J. B. Proctor.
It was the first defeat for the
locals on their home field since
1946.
Next Home Game
Tennessee Wesleyan
The next home game for the
Buffaloes will be with the Ten-
nessee Wesleyan team on Nov.
5. This will be the next to the
last home game. The annual
neighbor game with State Col-
lege will close the grid season
for the Herd two weeks from
this date on the 19 of Nov.
One way to be popular is to
listen attentively to a lot of
things you already know. It is
possible to learn something new
the same way.
Kirby Laughlin
Lost To Buffaloes
A severe blow was dealt to
the Milligan eleven when it was
learned that their outstanding
punter and pass receiver sus-
tained a fractured collar bone
during a practice session. Kirby
scored the first TD in the Stet-
son game, and later in the same
game caught another pass for
some 78 yds. which set up the
other Milligan score.
Kirby, who hails from Salem,
Ohio, is a sophomore majoring
in Physical Education. This was
Kirby's second year on the
squad and the Stetson game
showed what ability he had.
His injury will be greatly felt

FROM AN ACCOUNT OF THE FIRST THANKSGIVING— An excerpt from a letter
written by Edward Winslow to one of his friends back in England, November, 1621.
Winslow, a great leader of Plymouth, was several times governor of that colony. This
portion of his letter suggests a picture of early colonial life among the Pilgrim? who
came to the new world on the Mayflower. It reflects the gratitude of the colonists for
the providence of God. . (Drawing by Randy Cooper).

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
As we celebrate another Thanksgiving Day, we are
reminded that it is quite possible to push aside the in-
tended meaning of the occasion, and in so doing, lose sight
of the reason for the observance of this holiday. Out of
the rigorous struggle for life among our forefather colon-
ists, came of natural birth the holiday of Thanksgiving.
This day of humble acknowledgement to the Almighty is
a major holiday originating on the American continent.
Even were it not for an observance of traditional long
standing, it would be altogether in order that we at Milli-
gan stop and express our gratitude in an especial way for
the unnumbered benefits of Almighty God. It is obvious
that He has been mindful of us far beyond our compre-
hension, and in His Presence, each of us this day, stands
undeserving.
For the basic necessities, plus untold luxuries of life,
the privilege of an education based upon the religion of
Christ, the opportunity of development into men and wom-
en worthwhile in a world of change and pioneering for
greater things — these are but the beginning of the endless
roster of benefits from the Father of all Mercies. In the
words of a recent chapel speaker, truly this is a great
time to be alive.
It will be a lesson well learned if we come to the re-
alization that gratitude is a crowning excellence. Through-
out the history of man the sin of ingratitude has proved
to be .the point of departure into barbarianism.
The Pilgrims of Plymouth in 1621 set for us a worthy
example. We dare not forget the import of its meaning.
The attitude of thanksgiving is an inherent part of the
abundant life. It is reflected in a Christian education.

Common Sense, Dignity of Toil, Sincerity
Listed Among Cardinal Virtues
A Stampede writer recently
turned to the stack of dusty
archives and produced an inter-
esting insight into the morals
and manners of Milligan life in
the days of bustles, hooped
skirts, and handlebar mus-
taches.
The tattered, yellowed pages
of The Milligan Light yielded
a list of the exemplary charac-
teristics of the most admired
co-ed on the campus in 1890.
The Light, first student paper to
be published here, carried as
its leading contribution, the
following entry in the October,
1890 issue:
The coming girl will cook her
own food and earn her own liv-
ing, and will not die an old
maid! The coming girl will
walk five miles a day, if need
be, to keep her cheeks aglow,
she will mind her health, her
physical development and her
mother. The ideal girl will adopt
a costume both sensible and
conducive to health, will avoid
thin-sole shoes and damp feet,
will not confound hypocrisy with
politeness, nor place lying to
please above frankness. She will
neither dance the German nor
ignore all possibilities of know-
ing how to work. Above all she
will not endeavor to break the
hearts of unsophisticated young
men. She will spell correctly
and understand English before
she affects French or German.
The worthy co-ed will preside
with equal grace at the piano
or the' washtub. Will spin more
yarn for the house than for the
street.
The admirable girl will not
despise her plainly-clad mother,
her poor relations, or the hands
of an honest worker. She will
not look to Paris but will look
to reason, and in reason will
she find her fashions. Foolish
fashions will not be followed
because milliners and dress-
makers decree it.
The praiseworthy college girl
will not torture her body, nor
shrivel her soul with puerilities
nor ruin it with wine or pleas-
ure.
Esteemed is the girl who
seeks to glorify her Maker and
to mentally enjoy His work.
Duty will be her aim and life
will be her reality.

Explanation Of The
Quality-Point System*
The requirements for the de-
gree are computed not only in
semester hours but also in qual-
ity points. Quality points are
the points earned by a student
according to his grades:
Grade A receives 4 quality
points for each semester hour.
Grade B receives 3 quality
points for each semester hour.
Grade C receives 2 quality
points for each semester hour.
Grade D receives 1 quality
point for each semester hour.
Grade F receives no quality
points.
In order to graduate a student
must have a two point hour
ratio. The point hour ratio is
determined by dividing the total
number of points earned in a
given semester by the number
of hours in which the student
is enrolled during that semester.
If, for example, the student has
earned thirty-nine points on
fifteen hours of work, his point
hour ratio would be 39 divided
by 15 equals 2.6.
In case a student carrying fif-
teen hours of work withdraws
from a three-hour course with
a mark of Wp, his point-hour
ratio would then be determined
by dividing the total number of
points by twelve instead of fif-
teen. However, if he withdraws
from a course with a grade of
F, the ratio would be determin-
ed by dividing the number of
points earned by the total num-
ber of hours for which he reg-
istered.
Grades earned in the past will
be evaluated in terms of the
foregoing system.

PAGE THREE
Sightless Veteran
Will Address
Assembly Nov. 29
(Continued From Page One)
years old, FloyG-s parents had
never seen a Bible or any book.
They could neither read nor
write.
Mr. Peddy relates that even
though he, his twin brother and
his parents knew nothing about
God, they exercised a deep
longing for some unknown Su-
preme Power, Every evening at
sundown, the family would
kneel and pray to the Great
White Father.
The young Indian boy started
to school in his adopted state.
He returned from school the first
day branded an outcast by his
schoolmates. His race had set
him apart from, his white asso-
ciates.
Parents Die in Accident
Mr. and Mrs. Peddy were
killed in a train accident when
their son was nine years old.
The youngster was thrown upon
the mercy of the neighbors, and
learned early the value of self
reliance.
First Christian Teaching
At the age of twelve, Peddy
went to live with a German
family of Quakers. His new
home was near Spokane, Wash-
ington, and near to Cardilane
Piahot Indian Reservation. In
this home he received his ele-
mentary Christian training, for
the first time was told about
God and the Bible. Through this
teaching, he managed to dispel
the hatred he had acquired in
early childhood, and began to
think in terms of international
brotherhood.
Proficienl With Firearms
At fourteen, Peddy won the
Washington State Pistol and
Rifle Championship. The accur-
acy of marksmanship was
gained, when as a child, he
helped his father round up and
train wild mustangs of the
Western territory.
Educational Pursuits
Floyd Peddy earned a gram-
mar school education. "But," he
states, "people in my situation
at that time went to school only
when there was nothing else to
do."
At the end of World War I,
he was employed by the Nash-
Kelvinator Corporation. In ad-
dition to working ten hours a
day, he attended night school
three days per week, and was
thus enabled to raise his educa-
tional credit for registration at
Purdue University. Here the
student's efforts were directed
to the new but promising re-
search field of air conditioning
and commercial refrigeration.
Peddy was graduated from Pur-
due in 1922.
Soldier And Aviator
At the outbreak of World War
I, Peddy entered the service of
his country in the signal avia-
tion division. Inducted as a pri-
vate, he later was promoted to
major, and held that rank dur-
ing his enlistment.
As an aviator, he flew with
such well-known charioteers of
the sky as Captain Eddie Rick-
enbacker, James H. Doolittle,
and the renowned "Flying Par-
son." The Flying Parson was
the first man in the history of
aerial navigation to do aera-
nautic advertising. His first
project was the writing of
"Lucky Strike" in the air. The
Flying Parson lost his life in
such an aerial exhibition.
A Lover of Youth
Back from the war. Mr. Peddy
was for some time sales engi-
neer for Nash-Kelvinator.
Prompted by his experiences in
childhood he turned a sympa-
thetic ear to the children of the
streets,, and became a militant
crusader against child delin-
quency. The state of juvenile
dereliction led him to an almost
consuming passion for reform.
The life of this young war vet-
eran was from then on devoted
to the helping of others, espe-
cially young people. Four years
were spent as director of the
Veterans Orphan Home, Zenith,
Ohio, from 1931 to 1934.
Misfortune Strikes
Twelve years ago Mr. Peddy's
wife and oldest daughter lost
their lives together, by automo-
bile accident in Indianapolis.
Shortly thereafter his youngest
daughter also died by car acci-
dent in Washington, D. C. Soon
after this shocking misfortune,
the father crashed his car into
a truck on a Toledo, Ohio street.
He emerged from the calamity
with a severed optic nerve of
the right eye. An unconquer-
able infection in the left eye
deprived him of his total vision.
Mr. Peddy says jokingly, ''I
guess automobiles and trains
have been unlucky things in my
family."
Leads Full Life
This valiant man won the bat-
tle over his handicap and has
succeeded in packing his life
with cheer and service for oth-
ers. Since rendered sightless, he
has traveled nine months and
covered thirty-three states in
the interest of the Abbott and
Costello Boys' Fund. Three times
he has served on the board of
Boys' Town, youth correction
center.
Writes Own Memoirs
Floyd Marion Peddy is pre-
paring the story of his life, un-
der the title, My Pinto and I.
This work, dealing prominently
with the elimination of racial
discrimination, is scheduled for
publication in January, 1950.
My Pinto and I will appear un-
der the authorship of Marion
Floyd.
The author has taught himself
to read braille, and types sixty
words per minute.
Now a resident of Johnson
City (Mountain Home), Mr.
Peddy will become sales man-
ager for a tire and rubber con-
cern in that city early in De-
cember of. this year.
Still Mapping Career
Of Wider Service
A consecrated Christian, he
anticipates a fuller life of serv-
ice as a missionary. To equip
himself for this worthwhile
charge, Floyd Peddy plans to
return to college some day. He
has indicated his preference for
Milligan. He will enroll for
courses in child psychology and
English and speech. Peddy's ap-
pearance at Milligan's assembly
November 29 will be an event
of paramount interest this se-
mester.
SENIORPERSONALITIES
Kennon Robertson
This second semester senior is
quite cosmopolitan-minded —
Ken Robertson, from Spartan-
burg, South Carolina, writes to
people in France and Greece,
and has as one of his main am-
bitions "traveling to foreign
countries and learning foreign
languages." He spent most of
his time in the Navy in the
Philippines, but still has an
awfully strong devotion to South
Carolina. He attended Spartan-
burg Junior College for a year
before coming to Milligan,
where he's majoring in business
administration. He's been in the
Business and Christian Service
Clubs, and in '48 was on our
track team. He is a member of
the student council. After grad-
uation he plans to enter law
school.
Doris Arana
Puerto Rico, is secretary of the
Spanish Club and says one am-
bition she has yet to experience
is "picking an apple from a tree
and eating it." Even though a
major in psychology, she "can't
get used to seeing the girls dat-
ing a different boy every night!"
After she graduates in January
she hopes to teach in Grundy
with John.
Important Biographical
Treatise To Be
Serialized In Stampede
Student Thesis of 1929 Re-
counts Life of Milligan
Founder
The life of Josephus Hopwood
will be published in a series of
installments beginning with the
next edition of the Stampede.
This biographical sketch, by
Lucille Lumsden, class of 1929,
was submitted in partial ful-
fillment of the requirement for
the degree of bachelor of arts
in English. The thesis require-
ment will be of interest to pres-
ent students, since Milligan no
longer imposes this demand
upon candidates for a degree.
The life history of Hopwood,
eminent educator, will be pub-
lished in approximately five
issues of the paper.
The petite miss you see above
is far away from home (1700
miles to be exact) but there's
still a sparkle in her eye — on
Christmas Eve, Doris Arana will
be married to John Harmon, a
former student here who now
teaches at Grundy, Virginia.
Doris; from ' San Sebastian,
This jolly fellow is always
seen as master of ceremonies of
something or other, and is well-
known for his quick come-backs.
Dave Rose is from 'Homestead,
Pennsylvania — and incidentally
he was then living within three
miles from Dottie (now his wife)
and didn't meet her 'til they
came to Milligan. He has been
on the "Stampede" staff and in
the Dramatic Club, but his main
interest is the Ministerial Asso-
ciation, since he's majoring in
religion. For two years now he's
preached half - time for two
North Carolina churches, and
after graduate work at Butler
University he plans "to be a
rural preacher and make Milli-
gan a part of my ministery."
Former Student
Frank Brogden, Milligan stu-
dent of last year, is one of six
at Tusculum College, Greene-
ville, Tennessee, named for the
1949-1950 edition of "Who's
Who in American Universities
and Colleges."
Frank, a senior at Tusculum,
is sports editor of The Pioneer,
student newspaper. While at
Milligan last year, he served in
the same capacity on the staff
of The Stampede.
ROBERT MILHORN
One member of our faculty
who is seen but not heard of
much is Mr. Robert Milhorn.
His official title is Bookkeeper
for Milligan College, and if you
peek into the Business Office
you'll see him busy at a desk
piled high with complicated-
looking forms. Before coming
here two years ago he had at-
tended the Johnson City Busi-
ness College and spent four
years in the Infantry in the
Canal Zone, South America,
and the West Indies. On the
sideline he is part owner of a
grocery business in Johnson
City, and he 'fessed up that he
"sort of liked" fishing in his
spare time.

Effective Study Habits
In a reclining position on your
bed, your books at arm's length
away, a sufficient food supply
at hand, and several unsharp-
ened pencils handy, you settle
yourself to the necessary task
of studying. Turning "harum-
scarum" through your loose-leaf
notebook you find that you can-
not locate the notes you failed
to take in class the last time.
Guess you had better go down
the hall and find someone who
did not go to sleep in class. In
the course of conversation dur-
ing1 your visit you manage to
gossip a little and talk about
everything except your lesson.
Upon returning to your room
and finding yourself without the
notes for which you had gone
you decide that they were not
in the least important.
Let's see, what comes first?
English comes fifth period, but
you have two vacant periods
before then; and biology comes
first period, so the natural
thing to do is to study English
first! Now where is that English
book? Must have left it in the
movie the other day. Only one
thing to do and that is to call
the theater and see if they found
your book up in the balcony.
"Sorry, all we found was an
icepick, two revolvers, and a
bottle of arsenic," said the voice
on the other end of the tele-
phone. (Oh, yes. It was one of
"them Satiday pitchers.")
Guess you could borrow your
roommate's book to copy the
sentences out of — but you have
n9 pencil, so just forget the
English and read your history.
But before you begin, you
might entertain your roommate
a while with your excellent tal-
ent of conversation — in the
meanwhile devouring the bit of
victuals handy.
Well, what d'ya know? Twelve
o'clock already, and you went
to sleep at ten without reading
your history. Boy, just wait un-
til tomorrow and you tell those
profs they gave you too long
lessons— had to stay up until
midnight getting them! '

SPORTS REVIEW
Scoring in each of the 1st,
2nd and fourth periods, the
Thundering Herd marked up its
third win of the year by de-
feating a game Wesleyan elev-
en, 19-7.
The first score came after
Milligan drove from their own
44 yard line to the one, where
on a quarterback sneak, Don
Lambert scored, making the
score- 6-0. Cap Haradin's con-
version was no good. In the sec-
ond period Wesleyan took the
lead when Dower, standing on
his own 41, passed to Nichols on
the 25, who ran the remaining
yards for the score. The extra
point was good. The Buffs came
back immediately to score and
stay ahead.
After a kick by Co-Captain
Dugger, the Wesleyan attack
was stopped short of the neces-
sary yardage and the Buffs took
over. Straight line, plays, mix-
ed with a few reverses, brought
the ball down the eight yard
line where Dugger fumbled. The
ball rolled into the end zone and
the alert Bill Beeler recovered
for a TD. Again Hardin's extra
point was no good.
In the third quarter action
was limited to punting with the
Herd squeezing in a few first
downs only to lose the ball on
fumbles. The final period saw
the Herd start a drive from
their own 49 and go the remain-
ing 51 yards and the score. Sam
Pridon kicked the extra point,
making the score 19-7 in favor
of the Herd.
Outstanding on the offense
were George Dugger and Don
Lambert, while defensively the
line play of Glowacki and'Vac-
caro were very noticeable
Game Buffs Lose, 34-0
A game and fighting Milligan
eleven invaded the "Yankee"
land and for some 35 minutes
had the home folks and team
worried. Contrary to the write-
ups that appeared in the local
newspapers, the Herd played
one of the best games of the
year, considering the opposition.
The score wasn't so close as the
play of the two teams, yet a
moral victory was won because
no serious injury resulted for
the Herd, and because the sta-
tistics showed that the Green
Wave wasn't that tough.
The Green Wave, very much
outweighing the visitors, scored
late in the initial period, when
with a quick center plunge,
Wiley ran some 29 yards for the
first score. Hartley converted,
one of the four successful con-
versions. In the second quarter,
on a beautiful, well executed
reverse, Hartley ran 63 yards for
the second TD. This was the
score at half time. In this same
half, the Herd got within the
20 yd. line but a pass from
Kennedy to Don Jones fell in-
complete.
The second half proved a lit-
tle too much for the Herd as
the Green Wave unlashed a se-
ries of naked reverses and
double reverses which caught
the Herd flat-footed and at
times the ball was so cleverly
hidden that no one knew where
the ball was.
The long runs that brought
about- all the TD's for the vic-
tors were the feature of the
game. The Herd line was very
stubborn, and at times so ag-
gressive that' the passer was
rushed frequently. The return
of punts by Don Lambert had
the 7,000 fans on edge. A down-
Milligan Loses To
State College, 28-0
The Milligan College Buffa-
loes bowed to the East Tennes-
see State College Buccaneers,
28-0, November 19. in the clos-
ing fracas of the season. The
game climaxed a week of en-
thusiastic rivalry between the
two neighboring institutions.
The spirited Bucs pulled into
a lead early in the second quar-
ter when Burleigh Davis scored
unmolested. A Kennedy pass,
intercepted by Musselman, set
up the second TD.
Milligan fans were excited,
when early in the third frame
George Dugger took the kick-
off on the six and handed the
ball to Glowacki, who returned
it to the forty-three. State took
the swineskin and scored eight
plays later, making 21-0. In the
same period the Bucs made their
foutrh and final tally on an
eighty-four yard drive, bril-
liantly engineered by Jack
Vest. All four conversions were
good for extra points.
The skillful playing by the
Buccaneers was attributed by
many fans to the fact that sev-
enteen of their gridders were
playing the final game of their
college football career.

Basketball
Practice Begins
Ten Games Ln Johnson City;
Union College Starts Hard-
wood Competition
The pitter-patter which has
been heard over at Cheek Hall
isn't the drops of rain. King
basketball is here, and the Mil-
ligan Buffaloes are hard at
work rounding into shape for
the coming season.
For weeks now the Herd has
been practicing, with condition-
ing and fundamentals being the
two "musts." Some 25 aspirants
have been running thru the
necessary fundamentals pre-
scribed by Coach Olds. As the
football season draws to a
close, the squad will be cut to
a maximum of 15 players, with
a possibility of a few being cut
as the season progresses.
Leading this year's squad will
be seniors and Co-Captains
Carl Gouge arid Kyle Middleton.
Gouge will be remembered by
the many followers of last year
for his one-hand push shots. Be-
sides being a constant threat,
Carl is a good bet for playing
defensive ball;
Middleton, also a senior, and
one of the few three sports let-
ter winners, will be out to du-
plicate his features of last year.
He is the tallest man on the
squad, and the deadliest from
the corner.
In Kenny Hyder Milligan has
not only one of the leading
scorers in the league, but also
one of the deadliest set-shots
seen in these parts. Last year
Kenny led the Smoky Mountain
Conference in scoring and this
year he hopes to duplicate this
feature. He is a junior.
Another returning letterman
is Sidney Hathway. Sid is the
"south-paw" shot artist. Besides
being a constant threat in
shooting and scoring, Sid is one
of the best defensive men
around. He masters the re-
bounds.
Rounding out the squad of
returning lettermen, are John
Ammerman, Dick Kennedy, and
Sam Dridon. Each will be out
CHARLES E. AKARD
Charles E. Akard has been
named by the board of trustees
as supervisor of athletic pub-
licity at Milligan College. His
duties will cover the furnishing
of necessary material to the lo-
cal press, radio and schools in
matters pertaining to athletic
events.
Professor Akard will be as-
sisted by student director John
Surcey.
after football season to fill the
5th spot left vacant by Paul
Griz and Carl Shephard. Am-
merman is a sophomore who is
rugged on defense, and a threat
on offense when the occasion
arises. Dick Kennedy, the foot-
ball star, also does right well
for himself on the court. He has
a rather peculiar shot, yet when
they register they are very or-
thodox. Finally Sam Pridon,
also one of the few 3 sports let-
ter winners. ,Sam proved very
handy last year underneath the
hoops. His aggressiveness led to
many tip-ins for vital two-point-
ers. Each of these returning let-
termen will be playing ball for

THOUGHTS ON THANKSGIVING
It is a beautiful thing to see people assembled together to
engage in thanksgiving to God for the blessings, we enjoy from
Him.
The very word "thanksgiving" appeals to our highest spir-
itual appreciations. It implies, first, a realization of ownership
by another. As Christians we believe devoutly that "the earth is
the Lord's and the fullness thereof." To us, then, thanksgiving
is a recognition of God's ownership.
Next, thanksgiving suggests our unworthiness. If we were
abje to get along without God, could return His favors to Him,
or could own the world or a part of its fullness, God would
command no thanks:
And, too, thanksgiving indicates piety and reverence. Chris-
tians piously revere God and His authority of leadership. He
is our Maker and our Sustainer.
Lastly, the word thanksgiving demonstrates our acknowledge-
ment and our acceptance of His grace. It shows a humbleness of
heart that springs from a full appreciation of His gifts, However
beautiful in tradition is the day we call Thanksgiving, it can
have no meaning for us unless we truly desire to thank God
through Christ, for life and all its attendant blessings.
