Faculty    Receives 
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- 
gram was  presented  in  the  college 
auditorium  under  the  direction 
of  Miss  Frances  Yearley:

President  Burns    Sounds 
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 
(Continued  on  page  6) 


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.

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-

THE  STAMPEDE 


PAGE  THREB 


A 
BUFFALO 
HE(A)RD 


Old  Buffalo  has  been  idle  all  summer, 
but  September  3rd  his  eye  became  keen,  and 
his  ear  the  same  when  students  started  ar- 
riving on  the  hill  from  all  directions.  For 
the  past  three  weeks  he  has  watched  and 
listened  and  is  now  ready  to  report. 

Shorty:  Allie  says  she'll  be  faithful  to 
the  end. 

Cagle:  Yeah,  but  you're  the  halfback! 

In  the  mix-up  of  registration,  an  upper- 
classman  having  difficulty  with  his  schedule 
remarked  in  disgust,  "I'd  like  to  take  chloro- 
form." 

Overhearing  him,  Steve  Bowen  answer- 
ed, "Me  too;  who  teaches  it?" 

The  strings  have,  for  the  most  part,  been 
ricked  u~i  where  they  were  dropped  last  year 
— the  little  peanut  girl  still  has  hers — not 
only  first  string,  but  Captain. 

There  are  too  many  Senior  boys  who 
have  not  bsen  taken  yet.  Haven't  they  learn- 
ed yet  that  "MilPgan's  the  place  to  find  a 
wife?"  What  cha  say,  Easterling,  Quails, 
McNeeley,  Kegley,  Torbett,  Dellinger? 

This  year's  crop  of  freshman  girls  has 
some  of  the  upperclass  girls  worried,  but  a 
few  of  the  old  girls  have  been  able  to  hold 
their  own. 

Tate  picked  out  of  the  crop  a  Miss  Huh- 
Huh,  from  Etowah.  Any  relation  to  Chief 
Wahoo  ? 

Captain  Bob  Easterling  is  out  for  all 
conference  honors  this  year — of  course,  we 
mean  in  football — but  that's  just  "Half"  of 
it. 

Lawrence  Gilliam  turns  Romeo  again. 
Look  out  for  him  when  6:45  rolls  around. 
The  victim  seems  to  be  Jefferies  Cooper. 

If  Jocko  Hayes  isn't  careful,  he  is  going 
to  get  mixed  up  in  a  family  quarrel — Sisters 
will  be  sisters. 

Kink's  average  income  is  between  two 
and  two-thirty,  A.  M. 

Sentiments  of  a  jilted  upperclassman : 
"Her  loved  I 
Me  loved  she 
Him  has  came 
Curses  to  he." 

What  is  the  attraction  Milligan  still  has 
for  Cooper? 

Oh,  to  be  a  freshman,  eh  June? 

Belles  of  the  reception:  Mrs.  Bowman. 
Violet  May,  Nancy  Smith,  Lelia  Perez,  Nan- 
ny Mathes,  and  Lake  Johnson. 


Nita  still  likes  tall,  dark,  handsome 
Southern  gentlemen. 

You've  heard  of  the  man  on  the  street; 
well,  go  one  step  farther  and  you  have  tha 
man  in  the  gutter — that's  Scoop  Monahan. 

Have  you  met  that  two-faced  Fuller  girl  ? 

Uncle  Lodge  was  a  recent  visitor  on  the 
campus.  He  and  Kathleen  are  still  at  it — 
yeah,  at  each  other's  throats. 

Who  was  captivated  by  a  summer  flir- 
tation, Kathryn  or  Oris? 

It  seems  Spraker  has  at  last  found 
another  'little  girl'. 

Our  big  blond  hero  was  limping  becaust 
he  had  a  sore  foot — or  was  it  a  sore  heart 
with  no  one  to  heal  it. 

Tater:  Through  Sahara's  worst  sand- 
storm, I  have  come  to  thee,  dear. 

Anna  Lee:  Aye,  Tater,  surely  thou  must 
be  a  man  of  grit. 

Break  down,  McNeeley,  and  give  the 
freshmen  a  chance.  The  girl  back  home 
won't  mind,  much. 

Literary  description  of  Prof.  Holly:  "He 
stoops  to  conquer". 

America,  the  land  of  opportunity  Mimi 
agrees — did  that  bring  the  others? 

It's  a  Riddle  to  us  how  Morrell  gets  to 
school  every  morning. 

Harry  Long  has  been  taking  "Six  Les- 
sons from  Madame  Lazonga".  Can  you  speak 
Spanish  yet,  Harry? 

Irene  Walsh  is  a  good  authority  on  "the 
taste  and  best  use  of  Palmolive  Soap". 

Which  one  of  the  Freshman  girls  proud- 
ly exhibited  her  little  black  date  book  and 
why?  Some  of  the  rest  of  the  girls  want  a 
chance,  too,  Virginia. 

Speaking  of  date  books,  Jocko  is  having 
trouble  —  maybe  a  date  book  might  help 
him. 

June  Meredith  can't  seem  to  get  along 
with  more  than  one  Mathes  at  a  time.  Is 
a  roommate  enough  to  contend  with? 

Lillian  Holt  is  terribly  hardhearted !  All 
ICE. 

Now  we  know  who  Yehudi  is !  The  lit- 
tle man  who  wasn't  there;  and  he  likes  ham- 
burger buns  and  moonlight  hikes! 


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  Rice,  better  known  as 
"Shag",  was  born  at  Milligan. 
He  moved  toErwinatthe  tender 
age  of  five,,  and  entered  Elm

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.

Milligan  Frosh  Trampled  Buffs  Beat   Austin  Peay 
By  KnoxvilleHigh 
Bobcats 


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 
and  EddieO'Donnell,  who  played 
at  half-back  and  center,  respec- 
tively; Temus  Bright  and  Auno 
Koskinen,  tackles;  Dud  Roberts,- 
Jim  Peace,  Bernie  Webb,  half- 
backs; Johnce  Howington,  full- 
back; and  Sam  Lawson,  a  block- 
ing back.  However,  we  hope 
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- 
walter in  the  back  field  and  co- 
captain  Riggs,  Blondie  Stone, 
"Jo-Jo"  Delhnger  and  Charles 
Dagata  in  the  line. 
HERE-AXD-THERE 

Bernie  Webb  is  doing  a  good 
job  as  freshman  coach. 

Jimmie  Senter  has  succeeded 
Star  Wood  as  assistant  coach  of 
football. 

Ted  Alexander  won  ten  games 
and  lost  one  in  the  coal  fields 
this  summer. 


On  Friday  the  thirteenth,  the 
Milliran  College  1940  Freshman 
team  left  the  campus  enroute  to 
Knoxville.  The  boys  showed  a 
good  spirit  anc  hoped  to  turn 
the   bad   luck    on  tne    Bobcats 


The  Milligan  College  Buffaloes 
opened  their  1940  football  sea- 
son with  a  hard  earned  12-0 
victory  over  the  veteran  Austin 
Peay  eleven  Saturday,  under  the 
lights,  at  Roosevelt  stadium.

13  yards  in  his  first  try,  9  yards

Students  See  Boys  Off 
To      C.  U. 


As  the  football  boys  got  into 
the  bus  to  leave  for  Cumberland 
University,  Thursday  morning 
at  8:15,  students  were  there  to 
give  them  a  rousing  send-off. 
Classes  were  dismissed  in  order 
that  all  could  take  part.  As  the 
bus  pulled  out,  The  team  waved 
piomises  to  do  their  best. 


"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 
were  given  opportunity  to  lead 
the  crowd  in  cheers,  and  the  re- 
sponses were  compared  Care  was 
taken  to  select  those  who  could 
best  lead  Milhganites  in  display- 
ing their  support  for  the  Buffal- 
oes. 

After  the  tryouts,  the  decision 
was  left  to  members  of  the  "M" 
Club.  Jack  Ankeny,  David  Trot- 
ter, anb  Lilia  Perez  were  elected. 


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_

with  a  song  by  the  congregation 
and  an  introductory  talk  by  Mrs. 
Bowman.  Officers  were  elected

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 
6Choois.

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. 
Vivid  pictures  ol  the  sunset  and 
skyline  brought  forth  exclama- 
toin  from  beauty  lovers.  Con- 
gratulations, Prof-  Hyder.  Here's

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

Friendly  and  cheerful  with  all

He's  forever  radiant  with 
laughter  and  cheer. 


but  the  right  thing.  He  played 
football  there  four  years,  letter- 
ing three,  also  was  on  the  track 
team,  and  participated  in  boxing. 
He  belonged  to  the  U  Club  and 
the  French  Club. 

He  entered  Milligan  in  the  fall 
of  '37  and  has  been  here  ever 
since  He  has  lettered  in  football 
all  four  years,  and  is  President  of 
the  M  Club  this  year.  He  also  be- 
longs to  the  Pre-MedClub. 

He  was  consultor  for  Abraham 
Gabriel  last  year  and  is  an  assis- 
tant to  Professor  Cochrane  this 
year  in  Biology.  He  is  Vice-Pres- 
ident of  the  Senior  Class  this

His  ambition,  he  doesn't  know, 
but  it  may  be  some  where  in  the 
future.  He  believes  in  letting 
things  develop  for  themselves. 

His  hobbies  are  swimming, 
horseback  riding,  bridge,  and 
football. 

When  asked  about  his  honors, 
he  said,  "If  the  valedictorian  was

Fred  Dellinger,  Jr. 

Fred  Dellcnger,  better  known 
as  "JoJo",  was  born  in  Johnson 
City  in  the  cold  month  of  De- 
cember. He  made  good  grades 
up  until  Junior  High,  and  was  a 
charter  member  of  the  National

ceived a  letter  in  each  sport.  He

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.

He  said  that  he  had  always 
looked  forward  to  coming  back 
to  Milligan  to  teach  and  that 
I  since  he  has  been  back  he  finds 
i  that  the  stndents  have  a  better 
j  viewpoint  on  life  and  a  better 
j  preparation  and  attitude  for  class 
work  than  he  noticed  when  he 
was  attending  school  here.

fashioned  cakes,  surround:d  with 
decorative  fall  leaves  and  berries. 
The  mellow  lighting  for  the  ap- 
petizing courses  was  furnished  by 
candles  representative  of  the  har- 
vest, namely,  ears  of  corn  with  a 
few  clinging  shucks.  The  place 
cards,  favors  and  nut  cups  car-

splendor  and  the  mistic  spirit  of 
Hallowe'en. 

Miss  Dickenson  and  Miss

by  the  students  interested 
the  social  sciences  The  purpose 
of  the  club  is  for  the  members  to

Dr  Bennet  has  been  awarded 
five  silver  dollars  for  first  honors 
in  the  essay  contest  sponsored  by 
the  Press  and  Chronicle  as  a 
part  of  the  local  observance  of 
National  Newspaper  Week,  com- 
memorating the  anniversary  of 
the  invention  of  the  Gutenberg 
movable  type.  The  theme  of  the 
essays  submitted  was,  "The 
Press  Constitutes  the  First  Linf 
of  Defense  for  the  Maintenance 
of  Democracy". 

Editor's  Note:  We  believe 
that  Dr.  Bennett's  essay  contains 
some  good  material  and  clear- 
cut  ideas  that  will  be  worthwhile 
for  us  to  think  over,  so  we  have 
reprinted  here  his  essay  after  ob- 
taining his  very  gracious  consent 
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

Fall  Production 

Anticipate! 

The  Milligan  College  Players 
look  forward  to  opening  the  sea- 
son of  productions  with  the  pre- 
sentation of  Moliere's  "The  Ima- 
ginary Invalid.1'  "Le  Invalide 
Imaginaire',  was  Moliere's  last 
play. 

The  sparklihg  comedy  in  three 
acts  has  the  stage  set  in  Paris, 
during  the  seventeenth  century. 
It  gives  an  excellent  opportunity 
for  approximately  a  dozen  play- 
ers to  perform.  The  cast  for  the 
costume  production  is  to  be  se- 
lected within  two  or  three  weeks 
by  means  of  try  out  readings  of 
selected  passages  from  the  play. 

The  production  is  scheduled 
for  around  November  15,  Miss 
Childs  states.

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!

1925. 

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

year  did  he  reign? 

2.  What  important  psychological  changes  af- 
fect the  child  as  he  goes  through  the  Ehzabethton 
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-

BUFFALO  iSm 
HE(A)RD 


Ye  ole  Buffalo  Herd  has  been  milling  amund 
some  lately,  but  everything  h  isn't  been  ground 
out. 

Curly  Brad-haw  is  getting  pictures  from 
Pricilla  Lane,  we  hear. 

Dasata  wants  to  knew  if  the  black  line  in 
the  midd'e  of  the  highway  is  for  riding  a  bicycle. 

What  -  -  or  «houId  we  say  whom  -  -  does  Red 
Blessing  find  so  interesting  in  Johnson  City? 

Eo  wants  all  his  admirsrs  to  organize  a  "Bo 
Brummett  Fan  Club."  For  further  details  see  the 
acting  president,  Bo  Brummett. 

What  is  the  attraction  that  brings  Eddie 
O'Donnell  to  Milligan  so  frequently? 

A  certain  Freshman  says  that  she  is  a  South- 
ern girl  with  Yankee  ideals.  What  is  your  defini- 
tion of  Yankee  ideals? 

Whitt  isn't  as  prosperous  this  year  as  he  was 
last  year.  Could  it  be  that  his  German  business 
has  fallen  ofl? 

The  leaves  are  turning,  but  not  the  book 
leaves. 

It  looks  like  the  same  old  thing,  only  last 
year  it  was  a  blonde  who  had  to  work  in  the  Ad 
Building  every  evening  after  dinner. 

After  all,  Anita,  you  didn't  expect  to  handle 
a  tall,  dark,  handsome  football  star  and  the  presi- 
dent of  the  senior  class  at  the  same  time,  did  you? 

Our  diagnosis  is  that  Mar}-  Elizabeth  Kirk- 
len  has  the  Sophomore  Slump  ...  all  the  boys 
being  snagged  by  freshmen  girls  with  bows  in 
their  hair. 

We  notice  a  number  of  girls  singing  "Oh 
Johnny"  lately.  Need  we  wonder  why? 

Some  girls  seem  to  have  a  powerful  ping- 
pong  hand,  especially  on  moonlight  nights. 

Did  you  know  that  Ruth  Knowlton  had  tak- 
en up  jiu  jiisu? 

Harold  Johnson  has  taken  chemistry  and 
still  doesn't  know  what  K.  P.  is. 

The  other  day  while  pattering  around  in  the 
rain  we  heard  the  following  conversation: 
Nancy  :"I,m  going  to  have  pneumonia,  getting  my 
feet  so  wet" 

Cooper:  "Well  if  that's  the  case,  1,11  have  double 
pneumonia  'cause  my  head  and  feet  are  both  wet.' 


Who  said  Childers  has  Given  up? 

W'e  hear  that  German  is  all  Creek-  we  mean 
French-to  Shelby  Jett. 

We  read  in  J.  C.  Press  -  "Mrs.  Jimmie  Riggs 
of  Milligan  College  given  a  surprise  birthday 
party"  -    Is  this  you,  Frances? 

Note:  Emily  Post  says  it's  all  right  for  the 
girl  to  go  with  the  boy  to  select  the  ring,  Juanita. 

Easterling  savsthat  the  first  twin  that  takes 
his  hand  is  the  one  he  dates. 

The  Goss  girls  are  going  in  for  tennis  in  a  big 
way-  eh  Manager? 

N.  T.,  how's  the  girl  friend  in  Knoxville? 

Burton  Shook  said  the  best  looks  in  his 
family  was  his  sister-in-law. 

Brit  ton,  how  do  you  rate  such  a  gal?  -  It's  a 
puzzle  to  me. 

Hyder  is  on  again. 

John  Large  says  his  grades  are  like  sub- 
marines; they  are  all   under  C. 

Shook:  Say,  Jett,  what  commission  do  you 
have  in   the  army? 

Jett:  I  don't  have  a  commission;  I  get  a 
straight  salary. 

Miss  England:  How  are  the  books  arranged 
in  the  library? 

James  Slagle:  Very  well. 

Kathleen  Edens:  I'll  have  you  know  I'm 
nobody's  fool. 

Ruby  Smith:  So,  you're  an  orphan,  huh! 

Has  Red  Blessing  quit  swinging  a  Sword 
around  the  campus  these  days?  Ask  Virginia. 

It  now  appears  that  the  basketball  captain 
of  this  year  has  already  made  the  "All-Confer- 
ence" team  over  at  Hardin  Hall.  How  about  it, 
Jocko? 

Dwight  Whitt  is  in  for  a  "Hale"  storm  in  the 
near  future. 

Bob  Easterling  is  at  a  great  disadvantage 
having  to  wear  a  "white"  cast  around  each  night 
at  conference. 

Norman  Torbett  has  already  prepared  for 
his  dates  up  in  Tiger  Valley  this  winter  when  it 
snows.  Ask  to  see  his  new  snowshoes. 


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 
same.

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 
playing  excellent  ball  and  de- 
serve   mentioning  because    they

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,

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.

Ed  Birley  lost  a  book  "The 
Genius  in  Me".  If  anyone  finds 
it,  keep  it. 

The  song  hit,  "Down  by  the 
Ohio"  seems  to  be  drowned  out. 

A  freshman  Stevadore,  seeing 
the  case  on  the  chapel  stage 
which  had  HARP  written  on  it, 
asked  if  it  was  part  of  Miss 
Childs'  scenery.  He's  been  harp-

Students  to   Hear 
James   Melton 


Ten  yeais  ago.  there  began  a 
movement  of  community  organ- 
ization with  the  purpose  of  se- 
curing aitists  of  national  repu- 
t  it:on  to  perform.  This  program  j 
is  sponsored  by  the  Columbia 
Broadcasting  Company,  and  to- 
day includes  four  hundred  local 
organizations,  some  in  Canada 
and  South  Africa.  Just  recently 
Johnson  City  has  formed  such  an 
organization,  primarily  sponsor- 
ed by  the  Music  Club.  On  Sept- 
ember 30,  a  banquet  was  held  at 
the  John  Sevier  Hotel  for  invit- 
d  people  who  would  help  pur 
over  the  program.  This  included 
people  from  Kingsport,  Erwin, 
Elizabethton,  Jonesboro,  and 
Milligan  College.  Miss  Yearley, 
and  Dean  and  Mrs.  Eyler  were 
there  as  representatives  of  Milli- 
gan College. 

Membersh.pin  this  association 

hich  has  the  usual  price  of  $5. 
enables  one  to  enjoy  all  thr  e  per- 
formances during  the  year.  Art- 
ists of  national  repute  will  be  se- 
lected. James  Melton,  popular 
young  American  tenor  has  been 
secured  for  the  first  program.  He 
has  a  weekly  broadcast  over  N 
B  C,  has  appeared  in  grand  opera 
in  Chicago,  Cincinnati  and  To- 
ledo. He  has  also  appeared  in 
two  recent  Hollywood  product- 
ions. 

The  Community  Concert  As-

Home  Economics    Club 
Has    New   Members 

Candidates  for  membership  in 
the  Home  Economics  Club  met 
with  the  old  members  Friday 
October  11.  There  were  fifteen 
who  were  properly  initiated  and 
placed  on  the  roll.  The  group  re- 
laxed after  the  ordeals  of  initia- 
tion, during  which  Violet  May 
took  charge  of  the  entertainment 
Nancy  Smith  and  her  committee 
served  tuna  fish  salad,  sand 
wiches,  cookies,  and  punch,  and 
the  girls  discussed  plans  for  the

Johnny  Visits   Millisan 

Johnny  appored  in  chapel 
Octoher  8.  Mastake  Jonhathan 
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. 


Johnny  Visits    Milligan 

{Continued  from  page  5) 

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- 
eration to  fulfill  His  dreams; 
through  Him  we  are  all  building 
bridges  of  Christian  friendship 
that  will  unite  the  nations  in 
peace.  God  bless  America,"  he 
said,  "and  Japan  and,  China,  and 
all  the  other  nations!  Only  Jesus 
can  give  us  peace."  Johnny  is  do- 
ing much  himself  in  the  way  of 
establishing  Christian  friendship, 
by  his  own  faith  and  friendliness. 
He  has  given  us  a  new  interestin 
his  country,  a  new  friend  in  him- 
self, and  new  faith  in  the  power 
of  the  Christian  spirit.  Johnny 
Fujita  closed  the  chapel  s;rvke 
by  singing  first  in  Japanese  and 
then  in  English  a  verse  ol  the  song 
"Jesus,  Like  a  Shepherd  Lead 
Us". 

Johnny  left  his  address  so  that 
anyone  who  wished  might  write 
to  him:  in  care  of  Methodist

students    of    any    problem    to 
which  they  were  intested  in  find- 
ing the  solution. 

At  the  second  meeting  the 
group  had  a  very  interesting 
discussion  on  capitalism. 

Aaron  Wade,  Harley  Johnson 
and  Bill  Norton  conducted  the

Of  the  making  of  books,  ma-

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-

The  power  of  the  press  in  a 
changing  form  of  society — dyna-

The  program  was  brought  to  a 
close  with  the  showing  of  motion

Friday,  October  11.  The  subject 
of  his  talk  was,  "Critical  Mirid-

ance of  evaluating  our  experienc-

to  be  critical  does  not  mean  to 
be  cynical. 

Reverend  Robert  King,  pastor 
of  the  Second  Presbyterian 
Church  in  Johnson  City,  was  vis-

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-

dining  hall.  A  special  feature  is

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.

Forum  Group   Hear 
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 
as  is  natural  with  one  who  loves

Bowed  by  the  weight  of  medi- 
cines, prescriptions  of  the  seven- 
teenth century  doctors,  the  gro- 
tesque figure  leaned  toward  his 
walking  slick.  The  disguised  vern

ence in  quest  of  ''Who?"  Even 
Moliere  may  have  turned  over  in 
his  grave  to  discover  who  infring- 
ed upon  his  personality.  But  un- 
der the  paint,  under  the  beard, 
mustache  and  wig,  under  the 
fancied  invalid's  cap,  Henry 
Kegley  performed  as  Argan. 
Kegley  merits  distinction  by  his 
splendid  portrayal  of  the  hypo- 
chondriac, starring  in  the  produc- 
tion, "The  Imaginary  Invalid." 


Japanese  Art  Exhibited 

Students  of  the  nature  and  art 
appreciation  class,  secured  for 
exhibition  the  Loan  Exhibit  of 
Shima  Japanese  Prints.  The  ex- 
hibit consists  of  about  145  prints 
of  various  sizes  with  beautiful 
color  harmonies  and  masterly  de- 
signs. The  Shima  Prints  are  made 
in  Japan  and  represent  the  very

done  in  the  world  today.  The  col-

President  Emeritus  H.  J.  D:ir- 
thick  and  Mrs.  Derthic.k  royally 
entertained  the  untied  and  un- 
defeated Milligan  College  Buff- 
aloes with  a  sumptuous  banquet 
at  the  John  Sevier  Hotel  in 
Johnson  City,  November  26. 
Forty-five  places  were  taken  at 
the  huge  banquet  table,  with 
President  and  Mrs.  Derthick  pre- 
siding at  the  head.  The  room  was 
beautifully  decorated  in  the  best 
gridiron  fashion. 

President  and  Mrs.  Derthick 
proposed  toasts  to  the  coaching 
staff  and  to  the  senior  members 
of  the  squad  who  ended  their 
football  careers  with  the  victory 
over  Hluefield  College.  Coaches 
Lacey  and  Senter,  along  with 
captains  Eastrrling  and  Riggs, 
expressed  their  appreciation  to 
President  and  Mrs.  Derthick  for 
the  marvelous  banquet  and  to  all 
the  members  of  the  footbal  1  squad 
for  their  outstanding  work  and 
their  grand  spirit  of  cooperation 
in  making  this  Milligan's  great- 
est football  season. 

All  the  Buffaloes  say  they  en- 
joyed the  superb  banquet  to  the 
fullest.

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

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-

THE  STAMPEDE 


PAGE  THREI 


A 
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.

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, 
directed  by  Helen  Graybeal,  cap- 1 
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 
were  lighted  and  the  bridal  car- 
pet placed  by  the  ushers,  Burl 
Peery,  Vince  Tate,  Trent  Moe- 
cley  and  Arvin  Williams. 

Immediately  preceding  the 
ceremony  a  musical  program  was 
given,  with  Miss  Frances  Le 
Doyt  Yearley,  music  instructor 
at  Milligan  College  as  accomp 
anist  for  the  vocal  solos.  '"Until" 
was  sung  by  Miss  Katherine 
Davis  followed  by  Ralph  Shelley 
of  Tusculum  singing,  "All  For 
You".  Miss  Evelyn  Hannah, 
Johnson  City  harpist  played, 
"My  Hearc  at  Thy  Sweet  Voice" 
Mrs.  John  N.  Fugate  of  Taze- 
well, Tennessee,  close  friend  of 
the  bride,  sang,  "O,  Promise  Me" 
Mrs.  Henry  I.  Burbage,  of 
Johnson  City,  at  the  console  of 
the  George  W.  Keys  Memorial 
Organ,  played  the  Wedding 
March  from  Lohengrin.  Dr  H. 
J.  Derthickand  Rev.  C.  E.  Burns 
entered  the  altar  and  took  their 
places  under  the  arch. 

Miss  Aline  Hyder,  sister  of 
the  bride  was  maid  of  honor 
Miss  Hyder  entered  the  chapel 
from  the  left  and  was  immediate- 
ly followed  by  the  bride  on  the 
arm  of  her  father,  S.  J.  Hyder, 
meeting  the  groom  and  Oris  Hy- 
der, brother  of  the  bride,  who 
acted  as  best  man,  at  the  altar. 
The  bride  was  given  in  marriage 
by  her  father. 

Dr.  H.  J.  Derthick  officiated, 
using  the  double  troth  ceremony. 
He  was  assisted  by  Rev.  C.  E. 
Burns.

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- 
ment of  his  program  for  the  fu- 
ture. Such  a  statement  would 
remove  many  unanswerable  ques- 
tions and  would  permit  most 
groups  to  know  where  they  stand. 
The  writer  closes  with  the  hope 
that  such  a  statement  will  be 
forthcoming.

Coach  Lacey  then   shoved  his 

first  eleven  on  the  field  and  they

over  for  the    Buffs'    last    score.

point.  This  made  the  score  42-21. 
The  game  was  interesting  and 

a  well  played  conflict,  although 

there  was  never  any  doubt  as  to 

the  better  team.  The  first  downs 

were  21  to  8  in  favor  of  Milligan. 
The   outstanding    players  for 

Bluefield  were  Linkous,  an   end,

To  choose  Miliigan's  stars  is  a 
tough  job.  They  all  played  good 
ball.  However,  in  the  line  the 
guard  play  was  outstanding. 
James  Riggsand  "Jo  Jo"  Dellin- 
ger  closed  their  college  careers  in 
a  blaze  of  glory.  At  the  flanks, 
Dagata  and  Bireley  played  great 
games.  And  we  mustn't  forget 
"Pie"  Garner  who  played  his  u*- 
ual  game.  As  for  the  backs  the 
two  outstanding  were  Bruminitt, 
who  never  played  a  better  game, 
and  (you  guessed  it)  BUI  Showal- 
ter, who  turned  in  his  usual  stel-

So,  more  power  and  glory  to 
Miliigan's  1940  gridiron  machine.

Dear  Editor: 

I  am  eight  years  old.  Some  of.  my  little 
friends  say  that  there  is  no  Santa  Ciaus.  Please 
tell  me  the  truth.  Is  there  a  Santa  Claus? 

Virginia  0.  Hanlon 

Yes,  Virginia,  there  is  a  Santa  Claus.  He  ex- 
ists as  certainly  as  love  and  generosity  and  devo- 
tion  exist,  and  you  know  that  they  abound  and 
give  to  life  its  highest  beauty  and  joy.  .... 

Not  believe  in  Santa  Claus!     You  misfit  as 

well  not   believe    in  fairies Nobody  sees 

Santa  Claus  but  that  is  no  sign  there  is  no  Santa 
Claus.  The  most  real  things  in  the  world  are 
those  which  neither  chiidren  nor  men  can  see.  No 
Santa  Claus!    Thank  God!  He  lives  lorever.

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-

BUFFALO 


Well,  here  it  is  nearly  Christmas  almost  be- 
fcre  the  effects  of  Thanksgiving  have  complete- 
ly worn  off  -  -  but  of  course  all  the  newly  initiat- 
ed Buffaloes  are  anxious  to  get  back  into  more 
familiar  "stamping-grounds"  and,  guess  we 
might's  well  'i'ess  up,  we  old  ones  arc  looking  for- 
ward to  the  next  three  weeks.  There  are  some  of 
us  who  realize  we  haven't  done  our  best  and  are 
just  a  little  'fraid  Santa  Clans  may  forget  us  when 
he  starts  reaching  down  into  his  bag  --  but  Cu- 
pid has  been  the  star  of  the  season  and  here's 
hoping  he  gets  a  nice  hand  out- 
Better  look  out  for  the  "Power  House",  Earl 
Peterson,  Trotter  has  a  pretty  long  arm 

Nelt'esays  June  wakes  her  c\'ery  morning 
singing,  "Penny's  from  Heaven." 

Could  Herman  Lane  stay,  down  to  Girls 
Basketball  practice  because  of  the  girls  or  girl? 
What  do  you  say,  Kittj  ? 

Do  you  know  what  the  "M"  on  the  boys' 
dorm  stands  for?  Mighty  Milligan  Men  --  Most- 
ly Mike. 

What's  wrong  with  Nita's  arm?  -.-  Could  it 
be  '"Caffee"  nerves  again? 

Ted:  Darling,  in  the  moonlight  your  teeth 
look  like  pearls. 

Viola:  Pearl  who? 

Overheard  at  Conference: 

Clyde:  How  does  one  make  a  Venetian  blind? 

Nancy:  Stick  a  finger  in  his  eye. 

Since  this  sport  season  is  taking  Jocko's  time 
—  Bernie,  here's  your  chance. 

Arliss,  we  didn't  know  pictures  come  that 
large.  Where  do  you  study  with  "that"  sitting  on 
your  desk? 

Mrs.  Nave  to  Dorricott  at  Conference:  "I'll 
give  you  eight  minutes  of  grace." 

Dorricott:  "Grace,  nothing;  all  I  want  is 
Jeff." 

Opportunity   knocks'  only  once,   Buddy  -  - 

but  Nettie's  old  flame  has  a  different  idea. 

Information,  please.  Mike,  why  is  a  farmer 
so  attractive? 

To  see  a  startling   reproduction   of  "Kink 
let's  visit  second  floor  room  26. 

Lawrence,  you  really  like  the  Puerto  Ricans, 
don't  you? 


We  wonder  what  June  Farmer  thinks  of 
when  she  plays  that  powder  box  in  her  room. 

For  Jimmy  Senber  we  suggest  more  leniency. 
Even  Doc  Eylcr  lets  us  keep  our  books  open  dur- 
ing recitation. 

Hale  -  -  Be  careful  of  your  conversation 
when  you  get;  those  long-distant  calls.-  -  Remem- 
ber Pardee  Hall  is  on  the  same  line. 

The  Spalding  Concert  gave  Gene  MeNeeley 
an  idea  -  -  all  musicians  don't  have  long  hair. 

Anna  Lee  Mills'  hobby  is  Fox  hunting. 

A  notice  to  whom  it  may  concern:  Shadows 
tell  tales.  Beware,  all  conference  members. 

Prof  Locker,  don't  feel  bad  about  being  a 
few  minutes  late  every  morning.  We  don't  blame 
you  for  lingering  over  your  morning  coffee. 

Several  weeks  ago  Dr.  McCarrell  spoke  in 
chapel  on  Columbus.  The  next  day  a  freshman 
went  up  to  his  desk  and  handed  him  a  paper.  Jn 
reply  to  Doc's  puzaled  look  the  freshman  asked, 
"Weren't  we.  supposed  to  take  notes?" 

Minnie  McCIurd  has  been  interested  in  col- 
lecting stones  all  her  life.  She  has  a  very  precious 
one  in  her  possession  now;  if  you  wish  an  exhib- 
ition, see  her  at  conference. 

Well  June,  it  seems  we'll  soon  be  in  the 
Navy  now! 

It  seems  big  handsome  Bill  Blackwell  is  cer- 
tainly living  up  to  his  reputation  as  Romeo -- 
he's  started  serenading  now. 

Why  don't  you  give  one  of  those  good-look- 
ing brunettes  a  break,  Evelyn? 

Gish,  what's  the  matter,  aren't  Milligan 
boys  good  enough  for  you? 

Better  watch  those  blondes,  Jean,  Ed  might 
be  susceptible. 

After  all,  Penny,  if  you're  going  to  write  so 
much  about  June,  why  not  publish  your  book? 

We  hear  that  there  is  a  gook-Iooking  dorm- 
itory boy  who  is  glad  Imogene  Odom  has  dropped 
the  boy  in  town. 

.  A  Carpenter  approached  an  Angle  in  a  road 
n  England  where  boughs  of  Brown  Holly  grew 
There  he  saw  Dickenson  attempting  to  Hyder. 

These  jokes  are  not  feeble  -  -  they're  tired, 
having  been  worked  so  many  years.

In  a  meeting  of  the  Smoky

held  at  Knoxville  December  2, 
Milligan  was  the  school  with  big 
guns.  Four  Milligan  men  were 
placed  on  the  all-conference  team, 
and  our  own  Dr.  Eyler  was  se- 
lected as  president  of  the  organiz-

first  half  out  in  front  with  the 
score  of  27  to  23. 

At  the  opening  of  the  second 
half  both  teams  seemed  refreshed 
and  it  was  a  nip  and  tuck  battle, 
Milligan  having  the  edge  over 
the  home  team.  With  a  few 
minutes  to  play  the  Wasps  came 
from  behind  to  take  the  lead,

Milligan  Loses  Opener 

The  Milligan  College  Buffaloes 
were  stu'lg  by  a  53-tS  defeat  'd 
by  the  Emory  and  Henry  Wasps 
in  their  t  pening  basketball  game, 
D  scember  5- 

Kilbburne  at  center  with  16 
points  and  Michael  at  a  guard 
po-iton  with  a  total  of  10  points 
outpaced  the  Buffalops  in  the 
early  periods  of  the  game. 

A  nip  and  tuck  battle,  with 
Milligan  trailing  by  only  a  few 
points,  held  the  crowd  of  about 
500  boosters  spell-bound  through 
out  the  game. 

Milligan's  best  efforts  were 
shown  in  the  10  points  that 
Hayes  and  Cross  each  made. 
Hayes  made  8  points  in  succes- 
sion at  the  start  of  the  half  be- 
fore he  was  taken  out  on  fouls. 
Emory  led  at  half  time  23-1S. 

The  fighting  spirit  of  the  Buf- 
faloes kept  Emory  on  its  toes  in 
the  second  half  with  a  one  and 
two  point  lead  held  by  the  Wasps. 
A  final  spurt  in  the  last  few  min- 
utes of  play  set  the  visitors  ahead 
with  a  6  point  lead.

M      Club    Initiates 
New   Members 

The  M  Club  of  Milligan  College 
met  at  the  gymnasium  Tuesday 
night,  December  3,  1940.  This 
meeting  was  to  administer  the 
final  rites  to  the  boys  who  had 
earned  their  coveted  "M".  This 
was  the  culmination  of  weeks  of 
strict  obedience  to  orders  from 
the  higher  powers.  It  was  not  un- 
common to  see  the  Dance  of  the 
Nymphs  -  Bend  down,  brothers- 
On  your  knees  -  Sign  on  the  oval 
side-  Lend  ma  your  ears- Heark-

The  guests  were  Edwin  Fox, 
Arvin  Williams,  Shelby  Jett, 
John  Bradshaw,  "Pie"  Garner, 
J.  E.  Penney,  and  Raymond 
Webb  who  earned  their  letter  on 
the  gridiron.  Also  William 
Monahan  who  earned  a  letter  for 
his  fine  work  as  publicity  man- 
ager for  Milligan  College.

Girls  to  Receive  Points 
for    Officiating 

In  a  recent  meeting  of  the  ex- 
ecutive committee  of  the  Girls' 
Intramural  Group,  it  was  sug- 
gested that  girls  be  awarded 
points  toward  a  letter  for  officiat- 
ing No  tournament  match  can 
be  played  without  an  official

It  will  also  be  possible  to  make

with  basketball  rules,  Dean  C.

pointers;  Janette  Breeding  lectur-

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.

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.

The  girls  are  looking  forward 
to  basketball  games  with  Happy 
Valley  and  Hampton.  The  games 
will  be  played  on  the  Miiligan 
floor. 

The  Buffalettes'  advice  is 
WATCH  YOUR  POSTURE, 
MADAM. 


IE  you  are  in  earnest  about 
your  work  you  are  already  half 
way  through  it. 

A  man's  wife  hides  his  faults; 
but  that  is  no  reason  why  he 
should  keep  her  always  busy  at 
the  job.

know." 

She  stayed  two  and  one-half 
years  at  Miiligan,  left,  wont  to 
State  Teachers  College  in  Mem- 
phis for  one  quarter,  then  to 
Sienna  College  in  Memphis,  and 
then  to  the  University  of  Illi- 
nois for  one  year.  There  she  was 
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. 
Her  advice  to  Freshmen  "try  not 
to  be  Freshmen  next  year."

Dr.  Eyler  used  every  man  to 
see  what  they  could  do  and  to 
give  them  experience  for  future

Buff- showed  improvement  and 
will  give  Miiligan  a  team  to  be

Several  London  schools  have 
adopted  troup  steamers.  The  stu- 
dents follow  their  ship's  course 
and  correspond  with  the  officers 
and  crew.  Maybe  we  should  a- 
dopt  some  airplanes.  We  could 
really  crash  the  headlines  then. 
The  "profs"  sa}'  we're  floating  a-

why  should  they  get  up  in  the  air 
because  we  feel  flighty.  It's  plane 
to  see  that  this  is  a  good  idea  if 
we  could  land  it. 

The  "M"  Club  boys  thought 
they  were  "sitting  pretty"  until 
after  the  initiation,  but  one  must 
stand  up  for  the  "M".

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-

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

ing the  present  and  future  of  tie 
modern  languages  in  our  Ameri- 
can life,  which  was  held  at 
I'oston  On  his  return,  Dr.  Eyler 
gave  an  interesting  report  to  the 
student  body.  The  main  address 
of  the  meeting  was  delivered  by 
Dr.  Carl  Young,  professor  of 
modern  languages  in  the  Yale 
graduate  school.  The  main  text 
of  the  discussion  concerned  the 
elimination  from  American  higfc 
schools  and  colleges  of  the 
niodern  languages  as  required 
courses  of  study. 

While  in  Boston,  Dr.  Eyler 
had  the  rare  privilege  of  visiting 
the  former  home  ol  the  beloved 
American  poet  and  scholar, 
Henry  Wadsworth  Longfellow 
The  historic  old  home  is  now 
occupied  by  a  grandson  of  the 
famous  poet.  Dr.  Eyler  had  also 
the  very,  very,  rare  privilege  of 
visiting  the  vaults  of  the  home 
where  all  of  the  manuscripts  and 
published  work  of  Mr.  Longfel- 
low are  kept.  Dr.  Eyler  saw 
many  of  the  priceless  old  docu- 
ments and  it  is  only  on  special 
occasions  one  may  visit  the 
vaults.

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, 


Coach  Lacey  Awards 

Gold  Footballs  To 

Lettermen 

In  appreciation  for  their  splen- 
did work  and  cooperation  in  win- 
ning the  1940  Smoky  Mountain 
Conference  football  championship 
Coach  Steve  Lacey  presented 
each  of  the  25  lettermen  with  a 
beautiful  gold  football.  Across 
the  top  of  the  football  is  a  large 
raised  "M"  and  underneath  is 
engraved,  "Champions  1940." 

Many  of  these  small  golden 
treasures  may  be  seen  suspended 
from  chains  around  the  necks  of 
many  of  Milligan's  fairer  sex.

A 
BUFFALO 
HE(A)RD 


Flu,  inoculations,  and  exams  have  been 
rnlers  of  the  month  but  despite  them  all  we've 
managed  to  keep  our  happy  dispositions,  and 
most  of  us  have  continued  in  our  foolish  ways — 
and  Buffalo  got  us! 

Whom  does  Kathryn  want  to  conceal,  for 
she  constantly  mutters  in  her  dreams,  "Hyder, 
Hyder." 

Found  -  -A  slightly  used  article.  If  owner 
will  tell  where  he  lost  it,  Virginia  Reneau  will  re- 
turn it. 

Josephine,  why  break  up  David  and  Jona- 
than? 

Our  nocturnal  Romeos  and  Juliets  should 
use  more  discretion. 

That  Southern  belle  is  still  waiting,  Mike. 

Trotter  seems  to  like  the  Holiday. 

Does  Shag  Rice  prefer  blondes  or  blondes??? 

Minnie  McClurd  has  taken  a  keen  interest 
in  movies  lately.  We  wonder  who's  her  favorite 
Romeo? 

If  anyone  wishes  a  definition  of  romance  see 
Kenneth  Kennedy. 

We're  still  in  the  dark  as  to  who  was  nearest 

the  light  switch  Thursday  night. 

Lawrence  Gilliam  hits  the  comeback  trail 
with  a  fancy  beard,  that  should  have  tickled  most 
anyone. 

How  did  Dorricottget  his  mouth  mashed 
down  at  the  press  just  before  holidays? 

We've  always  thought  Bud-Bud  pretty,  but 
Steinmetz  seemed  to  have  confused  him  with  a 
southern  beauty. 

Kay,  is  Friday  the  thirteenth  unlucky  for 
you?  First  we  saw  the  picture  facing  the  wall  but 
now  where's  the  picture? 

The  practice  teachers  demand  a  change  of 
nail  polish  policy. 

At  last  Shorty's  little  air  castle  has  tumbled 
—  sincerest  sympathy. 

Remember  this  is  your  gossip  column  and 
Buffalo  is  open  for  he(a)rd. 

We've  noticed  Kay  Sluder  has  been  keeping 
her  mirror  clean  —  well,  anyway  she's  attracted 
Etowah's  literary  gift  to  the  world. 


Heard  From  The  Basketball  Floor 

Herman  Lane  wishes  to  thank  Kitty  Allen 
for  her  encouragement  during  basketball  game  — 
Nice  going,  Kitty. 

Pierce  was  re-christened  at  the  Eastman 
game  —  quite  a  bit  of  attention,  eh,  Pee-Wee? 

If  anyone  is  short  in  his  or  ner  vitamins, 
you  can  secure  vitamins  A  B  D  or  G  from  "Jocko" 
Hayes'  medicine  kit. 

We  wonder  why  Trent  McNeeley  came  from 
conference  to  prayer  meeting  and  suggests  we 
sing"!  Am  Bound  For  The  Promised  Land" 

"Sugar"  Cure  came  back  to  the  dormitory 
after  the  King  game  singing  "Revive  Us  Again." 
Nice  work, Sarah! 

The  Milliean  girls  must  be  slipping  because 
they  let  such  prizes  as  Raymond  Webb,  Norman 
Walker,  and  Boyce  Cross  slip  through  their  fin- 
gers. 

Harry  Long,  "East  Etowah  Flash",  has 
undergone  an  operation.  How  do  you  feel  Willard? 

Sally  May  was  singing  "Carry  Me  Back  To 
Old  Virginia"  and  McDowell  replied,  "It  isn't 
practical". 

Why  does  a  man  with  so  much  courage  on 
the  basketball  court  have  so  little  with  the  ladies 
Hello,  Charlie. 

Is  Torbett  really  serious  about  that  "Tiger 
Valley  Lily,"  if  not  why  the  ring? 


Moof      Prints

Is  "Slew"  Stallard  swinging  a  Sword  or  vice

"Pluto"  Spraker  at  the  present  seems  to  be 
interested  in  Watson's. 

Bob  B.  is  it  right  that  you  want  to  date  a 
certain  brown-beaded  day  student  from  Johnson 
City? 

Hattie,  does  a  blond  have  anything  to  do 
with  your  making  a  choice  between  "Bottle"  and 
Warren? 

Eloise  seems  anxious  to  move  to  Johnson

BEAT 
TEACHERS 


Teachers   Girls     Defeat 
Buffalettes 

The  Teachers  College  girls  de- 
feated the  Euffalettes  hy  four 
points,  33  to  29  in  a  close  game 
played  in  the  J.  0.  Cheek  Activ- 
ity Building,  last  Wednesday 
afternoon.  The  girls' athletic  pro- 
gram of  both  colleges  is  on  an 
intramural  basi?.  Miss  Cole, 
athletic  director  at  Teachers  Col- 
lege, accepted  the  challenge  to 
bring  her  basketball  group  to 
Milligan.  The  Buffalettes  hope  to 
play  at  Teachers  College  in  the 
near  future. 

The  opening  scores  were  made 
by  Milligan.  During  the  first 
quarter  the  Buffalettes  led  by  six 
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 
Teachers  but  never  passed  them. 
Eldena  Martin  set  the  scoring 
pace  for  Milligan.  The  laurels  for 
the  best  guarding  go  to  Milligan 's 
tall  freshman,  May  Kiser,  a  for- 
mer high  school  star  Louise  Bible 
led  the  offense  lor  Teachers,  she 
was  an  outstanding  player  while 
at  Mosheim  High  School. 


Buffalettes  Beat  J.C.H.S. 


Saturday,  January  11,  was  red 
letter  day  for  the  Buffalettes.  Set- 
ting out  to  "keep  the  slate  clean" 
for  1941,  they  enthusiastically 
trampled  Johnson  City  High 
School's  girls  at  the  rate  of  31-8, 

In  the  absence  of  Coach  Hayes 
Dean  Eyler  acted  as  coach  for  the 
afternoon.  Jimmie  Senter  was  the 
official,  and  Bill  Norton  was  time 
keeper  and  score  keeper. 

Captain  Eldena  Martin  was 
high  point  player.  The  following 
girls  participated:  For*  ards,  El-

Milligan  Athlete  Wins 
Golden      Gloves 

Charlie   D'Agata    Light  Heavy- 
weight King 

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.

The  Milligan  College  Buffaloes 
defeated  the  Tusculum  Pioneers 
45-42  in  a  thriller  at  Tusculum. 
It  was  the  Buffs'  second  S  M.  C 
win.  The  game  was  won  in  the 
last  minute  when  Captain  "Shor- 
ty" Hayes  made  a  field  goal  and 
a  foul  for  the  winning  3  points. 
The  Buffaloes  held  a  comfortable 
had  for  the  larger  part  of  the 
game.  It  was  only  in  the  last 
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 
all  the  way  and  were  never  really 
threatened.  Milligan  led  24-20  at 
the  half.  The  stampeding  Buffs 
were  Pierce,  Hayes,  and  Cure. 
King's  offensive  stars  were  Vance 
and  B.  Fowler.  The  Buffaloes 
hope  to  stay  in  the  win  column 
when  they  meet  the  Carson- 
Newman  Eagles  Saturday  night 
at  Jefferson  City.

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.

just  before  the  half  ended  the 
Buffs  bit  their  stride  and  pulled 
up  to  25-18  at  half-time.  The

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.

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.

1937  by  the  same  authors  of  this 
book. 

In  the  general  data,  the  book 
gives  reference  to  the  geograph- 
ical situation,  population,  coasts, 
ports,  geography,  climate,  hydro- 
graphy, natural  resources  and 
political  organization  of  Puerto 
Rico.

about  two  thousand  photographs

what  lias  been  rightly  called  th< 
'"Enchanted  Isle  of  the  Carib- 
bean" and  the  progress  of  every 
nature  obtained  by  the  Puert- 
arican  people  throughout  their 
history  are  shown. 

Maria  says  that  it  was  her 
father's  idea  in  order  to  let  the 
students  of  the  college  know 
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.

order  that  the  students  at  Mill- 
igan might  have  the  privilege  of 
hearing  a  man  so  thoroughly  ver- 
sed in  the  knowledge  of  the  pres- 
ent European  crisis. 

Mr.  Doman  came  to  the  United 
States  in  1939  to  participate  in  a 
conference  on  Central  European 
affairs  at  the  University  of  Col- 
orado during  summer  school.  He 
was  enlisted  in  active  service 
with  the  Hungarian  army  during 
the  recent  Czechoslavakian  crisis. 
He  has  studied  at  the  Universi- 
ties of  Oxford,  London,  Paris, 
Milan,  and  the  Institute  of  Inter- 
national Studies  in  Geneva.  He 
received  his  doctorate  degree  from 
the  University  of  Budapest. 
Within  the  past  few  years  Dr. 
Doman  served  on  the  board  of 
editors  of  Central  Europe's  first-

The  beginning  of  the  second 
semester  of  the  school  year  1940- 
41  brought  twelve  new  students 
to  the  campus  of  Milligan  Col-

transferred  from  other  colleges, 
some  are  entering  college  for 
their  first  time,  while  three  others 
returned  to  complete  another 
semester  at  ililligan.  These  stu-

area  including  the  five  states 
Massachusetts,  Virginia,  Ohio, 
North  Carolina,  and  Tennessee.

AMERICA'S  YOUTH 


Living  in  a  modern  world  with  important 
problems  both  within  and  abroad,  the  American 
youth  meets  a  direct  challenge, 

He  hears  an  airplane  overhead,  and  if  he 
looks  up  at  all  does  so  in  curosity,  not  in  fear, 
He  walks  through  well-lighted  streets,  not  dark- 
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". 


SENIOR 
PORTRAITS 

by     Mary  Sue  Ringstaff 

Edwin  B.   Fox 

"Tater"  Fox,  know  as  Edwin 
to  some,  was  born  a  long  time 
ago-  to  be  exact,  January  23, 
1917,  in  Seymour,  Indiana,  and 
has  lived  there  all  his  life  except 
when  down  here. 

He  started  to  Reddington 
Grade  School  at  a  young  age, 
where  he  continued  for  eight 
years.  Then  he  attended  Shield 
High  School  where  he  graduated. 
In  high  school  he  was  a  member 
of  the  band,  school  orchestraand 
the  F.  F.  A.  He  played  football 
three  years  and  they  turned  him 
out  in  '35.  He  came  to  Milligan 
in  '37  from  Professor  Carpenter's 
influence. 

At  Milligan  he  has  belonged  to

ambition  is  teach  a  while  and  buy 
a  big  farm  out  where  the  tall 
corn  grows. 

His  advice  to  Freshmen:  There 
is  nothing  so  bad  but  what  it 
could  be  a  whole  lot  worse.  Get 
while  the  getting  is  good.

Dip,  dig.  dig,  and  th?  dirt  piles  up.  Ye  ole 
Buffalo  He(a)rd  a  lot  and  here  is  the  latest  re- 
port. 

What  (or  should  we  say  who)  led  Monis 
Daniels  to  explore    Elizabethton   last   week-end? 

Wrrn  did  Irvin  Evans  move  to  Mountain 
City?  Were  you  going  home  with  him  last  week- 
end, Howard? 

Who  said  our  football  heroes  were  good 
sports?  What  about  die  comic  valmiines?  And 
they  weren't  all  football  heroes  either!  !  ! 

"Be  My  Valentine"  --  To  Ann  -  -  Dick 
"says  it  with  flowers." 

Anna  Lee  must  be  "The  Worm  that  Loved 
The  Little  Tater  Bug". 

Table  No  4  must  not  get  enough  to  eat  -  - 
anyway,  Harold  Johnson  has  to  finish  every  meal 
back  at  table  No  14.  Incidentally,  Prof  Holly 
and  Burchell  Stallard  like  the  food  (or  something) 
back  there,  too. 

Anyone  desiring  information  on  rare  birds  see 
Professor  Bock  who  is  an  authoiity  on  the  rarest 
of  all  birds  -  -  the  snipe. 

Prof.  Long,  you  have  one  student  who  does- 
n't have  to  do  research  work  for  his  term  paper  - 
Bock  already  knows  all  there  is  to  know  about 
snipes. 

The  Norman  conquest  is  getting  to  be  the 
Norman  defeat. 

Some  people  steal  conference  but  Trent 
"Robbs"  it. 

At  last  Lady  Martin  has  "Bock"ed  up 
against  something. 

Believe  it  or  not  -  -  Ripley  has  found  a 
heart  interest  -  -  Whatcha  goin'  to  do  about  it, 
Odom? 

"Shorty"  goes  up  to  help  Allie  with  chem- 
istry problems  - -returns  in  ten  minutes,  all  fin- 
ished. It  might  be  well  to  at  least  pretend  you 
aren't  so  smart,  eh,  shorty? 

Information,  please  -  -  Why  do  people  refuse 
to  sit  behind  Olin  Ripley  in  the  theater? 

If  looking  and  feeling  bad  are  any  indication 
of  the  good  times  that  have  preceeded,  then  our 
congratulations  to  Wade  and  Gilliam  on  the 
swellelegant  weekend  they  MUST  have  had. 


Jeff,  after  all  mice  don't  scamper  up  an<

the  uirls  find  out  who  rang  the  bell  at  2:30  on  the 
night  of  Friday,  February  7.  But  we  bet  the 
waitresses  who  got  up  and  dressed  enjoyed  get- 
ting 4  more  hours  of  sleep  anyway  —  -  and  in 
the  boys  dorm,  Fausi.  how  goes  a  shave  at  2:30

Aren't  thegirls  as  sweet  as  they  used  to  be. 
oris  it  the  prevalence  of  "hearts  full  of  candy" 
around  here  just  to  keep  'em  sweet. 

Dorricott,  how  many  birthdays  did  you

Nannie  Begley  seems  to  like  one  certain  boy

WE'RE   PROUD 
OF        YOU 


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  County  Heal  th  Department; 
informally  addressed  the  Home 
Economics  club  Friday,  Feb- 
ruary 14.  The  discussion  center- 
ed around  nutritional  diseases, 
their  specific  causes,  prevalence 
and  possible  prevention  and 
cure.  Dr.  Shipley  stated  that  ac- 
cording to  a  survey  made  of 
Carter  County  schools  about  75% 
of  the  boys  and  girls  have  simple 
goiters.  He  presented  th< 
thought  that  diseases,  deficiency 
and  contagious,  were  mighty 
warriors.  Also,  Dr.  Shipley  call 
ed  attention  to  the  importance 
of  proper  and  regular  foods  for 
infants  in  the  prevention  of 
diseases.  During  the  business 
session  of  the  meeting,  the  club 
voted  to  contribute  $5.00  for  the

New  Books 

(Continued  from  page  5) 

Forty  Years  A  County  Preacher 
The  New  York  Times  Book 
Review  says:  "His  memories  go 
back  to  the  horse-and-buggy  and 
the  bicycle.  But  this  is  no  pictur- 
esque tale  of  rural  quaintness  in 
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- 
tringent often  in  its  dry  comment, 
essentially  a  book  of  incident 
which  may  be  funny  or  tragic,  or 
exciting,  always  full  of  human 
brotherhood  and  of  git-up-and 
git." 
Sapphira  A  nd  The  Slave  Girl 
Sapphira  And  The  Slave  Girl  is 
Miss  Cather's  first  novel  in  five 
years.  Her  last  is  Lucy  Gay  heart. 

If  you  have  neither  the  time 
nor  the  money  to  read  Bernard 
Shaw,  read  Maurice  Colbourne 
The  Real  Bernard  Shaw  for  it  is 
hardly  a  biography  as  one  might 
think,  but  rather  a  condensed, 
comprehensible  summary  of 
Shaw's  works.  Maurice  Col 
bourne's  style  isn't  bad.  Certain- 
ly it  is  not  the  style  of  a  goon,  by 
which  we  mean  a  stilted  "Latin- 
ized" style.  He  employs  rather  a 
racy,  highly  flavored  language, 
writing  in  a  conversational   tone 


Senior    Lettermen

The  Miiligan  College  "M" 
Club  bought  solid  gold  "M's"

Wednesday,  26,  was  set  as  the

ranking  review  of  international 
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- 
marked that  the  "language  bar- 
rier" to  a  United  Europe  is  in 
reality  no  harrier,  citing  Switzer- 
land as  a  peaceful  country  where 
four  langugages  are  in  common 
usage.  Dr.  Doman  did  not  make 
a  prophecy  on  definite  outcomes 
of  the  present  European  wars. 

After  his  address,  Dr.  Doman 
held  an  open  forum  with  both 
faculty  and  students  participat- 
ing.

on  Saturday,  March  15.  "Indian  I 
Summer"  was  directed    by   Kay;

play    was    a   delightful  comedy  I 
whose  charm  was   enhanced   by 
the  1850  costumes.   Members  of 
the  cast  were  Henry  Kegley,  who

of  the  work  were  discussed  and 
various  demonstration  clinics 
were  held.  In  the  evenings,  music 
festivals  were  presented  in  Char- 
lotte Armory  Auditorium.

Men  of  Vision

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-

dignity,  Miss  Noemi  (Mimi)  Roderiquez  became 
the  wife  of  Mr.  Webb  Dishman,  Saturday  even- 
ing, March  22  at  eight  o'clock,  in  Hopwood  Mem- 
orial Christian  Church,  with  Dr.  H.  J.  Derthick 
officiating,  assisted  by  President  C.  E.  Burns. 

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. 

Eugene  Hines  of  Erwin  served  as  best  man 
and  Bill  Monahan  and  Jack  Ankeny  were  ushers. 

Professor  Edward  G.  Lodter  gave  a  program 
of  pre-nuptial  music.  Miss  Eloise  Parker  of  Eliza- 
bethton was  soloist. 

Following  the  ceremony  an  informal  recep- 
tion was  held  in  the  basement  of  the  church  The 
young  couple  spent  their  honeymoon  at  Asheville 
and  are  new  at  home  adjacent  the  Milligan  Col- 
lege post  office. 


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.

A 
BUFFALO 
HE(A)RD 


Ole  Buffalo's  had  his  horns  in  everything  and 
has  he  found  the  scandal!  Boys,  you'd  better  be 
careful;  your  best  friend  may  be  a  he(a)rder. 

Jos  'phine  we  know  you're  only  sixteen,  but 
that's  no  excuse  for  sleeping  with  a  Teddy  Bear. 

We've  noticed  Faust's  extremely  fond  of 
Post  Toasties  He  says  he  even  enjoys  looking  at 
the  colored  box  over  a  crispy,  crunchy  ho.vl  in  the 
chill  of  early  morn. 

Kathleen  tells  us  the  only  Lodgieal  thing  to 
do  when  a  lump  is  Lodged  in  your  throat,  is  to 
Bmile  because  everything  will  turn  out  all  right. 

We  hear  that  Darriel  Merritt  and  Jeanette 
Dempsey  are  deadly  rivals— could  the  object  of 
all  this  rivalry  be  their  bashful  (?)  lab  instructor? 
And  neither  has  Given  up  yet!  !  ! 

Dean   Eyler:    "What   place  in   the  United 
States  would  you  rather  visit  than  any  other?" 
Kennedy:    ''Venice." 

What  promising  boy  has  never  Give"  any 
girl  a  date?  Why  not  Give-n  and  give  some  dam- 
asel  a  break? 

Why  doesn't  Edith  Fields  sweep  under  the 
bed?  (3  guesses-  1st  two  don't  count  -  Address- 
Editor) 

Lucille  Odom  has  the  habit  of  whispering  let- 
ters especially  G's  and  B's. 

Warren  Gilbert's  interest  goes  "South  Amer- 
ican Way",  eh  -  Marie? 

Herman,  "Is  Gate  City  still  in  Virginia??  ?" 

Kennedy  seems  to  be  too  confident  in  many 
of  his  attempts  of  chivalry. 

Harold  Johnson  wishes  to  report  he  had  a 
"huge"  week-end  over  at   Jonesville,   Virginia. 

Herman  certainly  likes  Len  or  is  it  Lynn? 
What  business  did  Tater  have  in   Bluff  City 
last  Sunday? 

Gilbert  and  Gilbert  huh?  Yeah,  Warren 
and  Ann. 

Lillian  Holt  and   Jean   Frye  are  two   cold 

roommates ICE  (Irvin  Evans)  and  Cole-man 

(Howard) 

What  was  the  rush,  Errock?  Was  there  an 
unexpected  turn  of  events? 

Bernie's  proposal: 
"Don't  sigh,"  he  said. 


"For  we  will  wed, 
"As  soon  as  I  graduate." 
"Hut  my,  oh  my, 
"Washer  reply, 
"That's  so  indefinite' . 

Girl's  father:  Say  its  awfully  late,  you  don't 
think  you  can  stay  all  night  do  you? 

Morris  Daniels:  I'll  have  to  telephone  home 
first. 

Wonder  who  Virginia  Reneau's  "suppressed 
desire"  is. 

If  we  had  all  the  girls  that  passed  the  recent 
test  given  in  Hardin  Hall  what  would  we  do  with 
her? 

The  chapel  isn't  the  only  place  that  features 
good  shows  lately.  What  about  the  traveling  tri- 
troupe? 

Jeff,  how  would  like  to  play  Jean  Mitchell's 
part  of  the  play  really? 

Have  you  noticed  that  G and   Gilliam 

are  a  new  campus  twosome? 

What  was  Jocko  so  excited  about? 

Is  Pennington  hunting  or  pecking  in  the 
typing  room?  What  about  it,  Miss  Goss? 

For  a  Penny,  Dwight  Whitt  would  quit 
school  and  take  up  farming? 

Grover  Hays  in  all  probability  will  be  num- 
ber one  now  as  Overby  has  become  a  day  stu- 
dent--  that  is  if  Jocko  quits  his  tricks  over  the 
phone. 

Harry  Long's  air  training  seems  to  have 
caused  him  to  lose  his  sense  of  direction  on  the 
grounds  around  Milligan. 

We  wonder  how  much  longer  Showalter  is 
going  to  wait  before  he  expresses  his  sentiments 
to  a  certain  Puerto  Rican. 

Does  Jack  Ankeny  really  think  he  has  a 
chance  with  the  Florida  girl!  !  !  No,  .  . .  who  said 
that  anyway? 

"Scoop"  Monahan  has  forsaken  the  confer- 
ence hour  because  of  a  certain  Gladys  in  John- 
son City. 

Dick  Davis  has  wasted  no  time  in  establish- 
ing for  himself  a  place  in  the  hearts  of  the  Buf- 
falo gab. 

Red  Blessing  seems  to  be  lost  as  far  as  Mil- 
ligan girls  are  concerned.

Student    Election 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
The  most  athletic  girl  is  Miss 
Kitty  Allen,  a  Sophomore.  Char- 
lie D'Agatawas  chosen  the  most 
athletic  boy.  Since  leaving  his 
home  in  Maynard,  Massa- 
chusetts to  enter  Milligan  Col- 
lege he  has  proved  to  be  one  of 
Coach  Lacey's  best  players,  and 
has  been  successful  in  boxing 
and  track. 

Kathleen  Edens,  Senior  stud- 
ent from  Elizabethton,  Tenn- 
essee and  Henry  Kegley,  Senior 
student  from  Wytheville,  Vir- 
ginia are  the  campus  wits.  And 
what  would  be  a  college  campus 
without  its  couples?  At  the  head 
of  this  spring  brigade  stands  the 
most  consistent  couple,  Lake 
Johnson  and  "Shag"  Rice.

Eight  Girls  Will  Receive 
Letters 


The  "M's"  for  the  girls  are  be- 
ing ordered.  They  have  been 
changed  from  the  English  to  the 
block  letter.  Approximately  eight 
girls  will  receive  letters  this  year. 
They  plan  to  have  a  banquet 
soon,  at  which  time  the  letters 
will  be  presented. 

Indoor  Sports  Give  Way  To

The  badminton  tournament  is 
nearing  completion.  Elizabeth 
Franklin  and  Helen  Graybeal  are 
in  the  lead.  A  shuffleboard  tour- 
nament will  conclude  the  indoor 
sports.  Softball  will  begin  the 
second  nine  weeks.  Captain  Jan- 
ette  Breeding  wishes  to  urge  all 
girls  who  play  Softball  to  come 
out  for  prcatice  at  4:30  on  Wed- 
nesday and  Friday. 

Mrs.  Eyler  Entertain  Assistants 
Mrs.  C.  M.  Eyler  invited  her 
assistants  out  to  dinner  in  John- 
son City,  Monday  evening 
March  17.  They  discussed  plans 
for  next  year  and  worked  out  a 
schedule  for  the  women's  physi- 
cal education  classes. 


Tennis  Team   Works 
Out 

NET  MEN  BEGIN  DRILLS 
Dr.  H.  M.  Thompson  beat  the 
other  spring  sports  to  the  jump 
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- 
queteers",  Hyder,  Painter,  and 
Mathes,  "Doc"  must  find  at  least 
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 
ns  last  year's  team,  which  finish- 
ed second,  being  nosed  out  by 
Maryville.  To  "Doc"  and  his 
squad,  we  say  gocd  luck  and 
good  hunting. 


Buffs  Split  Score   With 
Cherokee  Athletic  Club 

The  Milligan  "netters"  shared 
the  honors  with  the  Cherokee 
Athletic  Club  when  the  first  ten- 
nis match  ended  4  all.  The  match 
was  played  on  Milligan  courts, 
March  22. 

Oris  Hyder  showed  a  remark- 
able form  by  defeating  W.  'Lefty' 
Lance  with  the  score  of  7-5,  6-3. 
Oris,  a  letterman  of  last  year, 
worked  the  first  set  with  the  in- 
tention of  finding  his  opponent's 
weakness;  he  then  showed  his 
skill  by  winning  the  second  set 
with  little  difficulty. 

Fred  Greer,  up  from  last  year's 
reserves,  showed  great  form  in

State  Meet 


The  baseball  team  of  Milligan 
enthusiastically  began  its  spring 
practice  last  week.  The 
mound  corps  is  the  best-looking 
prospect  of  the  team.  Pitchers 
returning  are  Eoyce  Cross  and 
Ted  Alexander.  This  duet  plus 
"Bo"  Brummett  dehind  the  plate 
should  give  Mi.'ligan's  foes  a  fit. 
The  outfield  should  be  strong 
with  Bernie  Webb  and  McXeeley 
returning  to  patrol  their  posts.

Milligan   -  Teachers 
Profs    Tangle 


Graybeards  Split  Two   Games 


The  Buffalo  and  Buccaneer 
Professors  ended  the  basketball 
season  with  two  very  exciting 
games.  The  Milligan  Professors 
met  defeat  at  Teachers  College 
51-49  but  they  gained  sweet  re- 
venge on  t  heir  home  court  by  the 
score  of  44-43. 

These  games  aroused  a  great 
deal  of  enthusiasm  and  fun  for 
the  spectators.  The  Teachers 
faculty  were  paced  by  Mooney 
and  McMurray  while  "Socrates" 
Senter,  "Aristotle"  Webb,  and 
"Plato"  Lacy  led  the  Buffaloes. 

Now  the  curtains  for  the  1941 
basketball  season  is  down  and 
this  is  positively  the  last  basket- 
ball write-up.

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." 

Pictures  Of  Coast 
Guard  Work  Shown 

Lieutenant  0.  C.  B.  Wev  of 
the  United  States  Coast  Guard 
Service  brought  a  group  of  movies 
of  Coast  Guard  work  to  the  cam- 
pus on  Tuesday  evening,  March 
18.  There  were  movies  of  actual 
rescue  work  being  done  by  the 
Coast  Guard  and  scenes  of  the 
academy  and  the  work  it  does  in 
training  men  for  the  service. 
There  were  pictures  of  the  various 
branches  of  the  service,  light- 
house service,  and  the  aviation 
division. 

Lieutenant  Wev  gave  some  in- 
sight at  first  hand  of  the  duties 
and  responsibilities  of  the  coast 
guard,  which  is  a  peace-time  or-

times that  the  most  important

against  sin,  but  simply  there  be- 
ing an  eye  to  catch." 


Dr.  McCurdy  Speaks 
To  Pre-Meds 


At  its  regular  meeting  in  tht 
parlor  of  Pardee  Hall,  the  pre- 
med  club  was  honored  to  have 
Dr.  H.  G.  McCurdy  as  its  guest 
speaker. 

Following  a  very  short  busi- 
ness meeting,  Dr.  McCurdy  be- 
gan his  discussion  of  insanity,  its 
causes,  its  symptoms,  its  different 
forms  and  the  importance  of  its 
study  by  the  doctors  of  today. 

After  the  lecture  Dr.  McCurdy 
discussed  questions  which  the 
different  members  of  the  pre-med 
club  asked  him.  The  meeting  was 
very  enjoyable  and  the  discussion 
especially  so.

Harsanyi  handles  Galileo's

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.

THE  STAMPEDE 


APRIL  9,  1041 


Dr.  Harry  R.  Cooke 

(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.

Millions  of  dollars  are  saved 
each  year  by  the  coast  guard  in

ant thing  is  that  many  thousands

tions, who  consider  their  heroism

selves  to  perform.  President 
Hopwood,  in  founding  Lynchburg 
College,  set  as  one  objective,  "A 
|  dip, oma  ought  to  bear  unques- 
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."

"Suppressed  Desires"  was  an 
hilarious  comedy  of  modern  times 
directed  by  Virginia  Rencau  She 
was  assisted  by  Walter  Dorricott 
who  also  played  the  part  of  Ste- 
phen Brewster,  whose  wife  Hen-

persuaded  Stephen  and  Mabel,

sed desire  to  leave  her  and  her 
sister  of  a  desire  for  Stephen, 
Henrietta  was  cured  of  all  inter- 
est in  psychoanalysis.  All  three 
members  of  the  cast  are  members 
of  the  Aipha  Psi  Omega  and  in

pendulum.  Later  he  discovered 
the  principles  of  specific  gravity, 
of  heat,  of  the  conservation  of 
energy.  Then  he  invented  the 
telescope,  and  thereby  opening 
larger  horizons,  became  an  astro- 
nomer. He  disc  overed  the  Medici 
stars  around  Jupiter,  the  riddle 
of  Saturn,  the  shadow  on  Venus, 
the  spots  on  the  Sun,  the  topo- 
graphy of  the  Moon.  When  the 
Inquisition  silenced  him  because 
of  his  Dialogue,  which  upheld 
the  Copernican  theory  of  the 
universe,  he  turned  back  to  phy- 
sics and  wrote  a  book  entitled 
New  Science.  After  he  became 
blind  he  invented  the  pendulum 
clock  and  worked  out  a  system 
of  longitude,  whereby  ships  at 
sea  could  locate  themselves  with 
the  aid  of  the  Medici  stars 

Harsanyi,  1  believe,  truly  pic- 
tures Galileo  as  he  was.  He  has 
brought  him  to  life  again  as  a 
personality ;  however,  one  who  is 
not  at  all  times  admirable.  He 
denied  the  work  of  a  life  time, 
his  belief  in  the  Copernican  sys- 
tem, to  save  his  life.  He  loved 
life  too  well  to  be  a  hero.

An  old  acquaintance  of  Maint- 
land  Jpof,  who  was  a  classmate 
of  his  and  is  a  famous  novelist, 
persuades  Maitland  to  go  back

The  services  lasted  throughout

a  baptismal  service  at  the  pool 
in  the  activity  building.  Small 
groups  met  during  the  day  and 
after  the  services  each  night  for 
prayer  and  special  meditation 
during  the  week.  Milligan  College

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. 


Sophomores  Entertain 
Freshmen 

Approximately  125  lower  class- 
men attended  the  Sophomore- 
Freshmen  picnic  at  the  Laurels, 
The  Sophomore  Class  sponsored 
the  picnic  and  made  all  the  pre- 
parations. The  class  is  grateful  to 
Mrs.  Burns  for  making  arrange- 
ments for  the  food  which  was  en- 
joyed by  all.  After  a  "huge: 
time  at  the  Laurels,  we  returned 
and  attended  the  movie  Luck  of 
Roaring  Camp  based  on  Bret 
Harte's  story.  The  day  might 
well  have  been  called  Sophomore 
Day,  and  they  made  it  a  good 
one.

I  see  her  at  her  task  at  home 

I  see  her  every  where  I  roam 

No  matter  where  I  go,  or  do 

Her  love  is  watching  o'er  me  too 

For  me  she  prays  that  I  will  do 

The  things  that  God  would  have  me  to 

Her  help  she  lends  to  me  to  use 

If  what  I  do  is  right  to  choose 

Of  all  the  earthly  friends  I  have 

My  mother  is  the  best  I've  found 

The  least  for  her  that  I  can  do

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

A 
BUFFALO 
HE(A)RD 


Spring's  here  and  the  campus  is  evidence 
enough  -  flowers  blooming  and  hearts  lightly 
turning  -  -. 

President  Burns  sums  up  the  trouble  with 
Oris'  tennis:  "In  the  spring,  a  young  man's  fancy 
turns  to  -  -  What  is  it?  Let  me  see  -  -  Oh  yes, 
gardening." 

Virginia,  that  perky  red  bow  does  things  for 
you. 

The  ghost  walks  again  -  -  but  Bock  knows  a 
good  way-  to  stop  it. 

Honestly  Scoop,  you'd  better  be  careful  -  -  con- 
versations from  the  road  to  Pardee's  third  are 
dangerous! 

A  lovely  conglomeration  --  Showalter,  but- 
termilk, and  Emerson. 

We'd  like  to  see  Rabbi  here  holding  his  own. 
Don't  let  the  spring  gel  you,  Nan. 

Dear  Editor:  Edith  Fields  won't  sweep  un- 
der her  bed  because  she  has  heard  that  men  are 
made  of  dust.  (N.  S.) 

Why,  we  would  like  to  know,  does  Sallie  Mae 
Bledsoe  want  to  borrow  810.92  from  Mike  Davis, 
with  which  to  buy  a  set  of  dishes,  and  then  adds 
in  the  same  breath,  "I'm  going  to  Arizona  this 
summer."  (Is  Neil  going  also?  ?  ?  ?) 

Doc,  you  should  have  known  that  bench 
without  legs  wouldn't  hold  you  up,  and  I  mean 
that  seriously. 

Anita,  we  hope  for  your  sake  that  there  is 
plenty  of  changing  scenery  on  the  campus  from 
now  until  school  is  out,  or  life  may  become  mon- 
otonous for  you.    (Or  could  it.) 

Florence  Hale  thinks  that  there  is  a  definite 
difference  in  Kentucky  and  Tennessee  men. 

Nell  Slay,  (yelling  upstairs),  "Lillian  the  Ice- 
man is  here." 

Why  is  Kay  Brown  so  interested  in  the 
sports  page?  (Ans.  Childersisan  ace  on  the  track 

team.) 

Shorty  Williams  would  like  for  Trotter  to  go 
home  every  weekend. 

Jocko,  don't  you  wish  you  lived  in  Middle 
Tennessee? 

Spraker  still  has  "Georgia"  on  his  mind. 


Burchell  Stallard  must  be  crippled  -  -  or  any- 
way, it  always  takes  him  the  longest  time  to  get 
to  Hardin  Hall  after  the  last  conference  bell. 

JeanFrye  is  terribly  anxious  to  get  home. 
We  wonder  why  -  -  Could  it  be  that  regiment  of 
millionaires'  sons  at  Camp  Forrest? 

Cagle  and  Gladys  Watson  got  mixed  up  in  a 
bumblebee  nest  the  other  night,  huh?  Just  ask 
Gladys!! 

Howard  Coleman  and  Reba  Watson  both 
studied  for  exams  the  other  night--  Yeah!  But 
we  didn't  say  an  exam  of  what!  ! 

Norma  Love,  why  are  you  so  cold-hearted? 
Spring  is  here,  you  know,  and  Gilliam  is  still 
around. 

Have  you  noticed  that  among  the  other 
spring-influenced  couples  are  Guinn  and  Law- 
rence Gilliam. 

Aubrey  certainly  rates  -  He  proudly  escort- 
ed Miss  Johnson  City  at  the  M  Club  banquet. 

Extra!  Extra!  Anybody  desiring  a  news- 
paper, see  Harry  Pardue  and  his  cohort. 

"Noodles"  Brummett  is  still  pitching  around 
the  Smoky  Mountain  Conference  loop,  especially 
at  Milligan. 

Girl,  "You  know,  you  and  Johnny  look  so 
domesticated  together." 

Other  Girl:  "Don't  besilly"  -  (pause)  - 
"hum-m-m,  do  we?" 

College  Grad:  "Now,  my  father  has  another 
wife  to  support." 

Other  Guy,  "Bigamy?" 

College  Grad,  "Naw,  I  just  got  married." 

Bernie:  "Say,  can  you  let  me  have  a  dime 
for  a  cup  of  coffee?" 

Man:  "But  I  thought  coffee  was  only  a  nic- 
kel." 

Bernie:  "Yeah!  But  I  got  a  date." 

Walker  took  Pie's  suit  on  the  basketball 
team  and  now  he's  trying  to  take  his  place  with 
Mary  Louise. 

Leon  Cox  just  loves  pretty  eyes!  Is  that  why 
he's  sj  interested  in  Nannie  Begley? 

It's  a  toss-up  which  Ann  likes  the  best-  -  - 
Penny  or  Harry  Long.

GOING 

Lookins  At  Sports 

By  SPORTS  EDITORS 

The  tennis  team  has  only  been 
defeated  in  four  matches.  Hav- 
ing lost  only  one  conference 
match,  our  netters  can  clinch  the 
S.  M.  C.  title  if  they  get  their 
revenge  when  they  meet  Tuscu- 
lum  down  there  May  17.  And 
why  not?  (But  they  lost) 

The  track  squad  has  come  a- 
long  nicely  loosing  only  a  meet 
to  the  Univ.  of  Tenn.'  Teachers 
College  has  been  rather  quiet 
since  Milligan  agreed  to  take 
them  on  anywhere,   anytime. 

The  baseball  club  won  another 
championship  a  week  ago  when 
they  defeated  L.  M.  U-  in  the 
most  exciting  game  of  the  season. 
Nice  going,  timbermen. 

Congratulations  to  Bernie 
Webb,  Raymond  Cure,  and 
Charlie  Akard  on  their  being  e- 
lected  captains  of  baseball  and 
basketball. 


Girl's  Intramural 
Volley  Ball 

The  three  major  spoits  of  the 
intramural  program  are :  basket- 
ball, volley  ball  and  Softball.  The 
second,  third,  and  fourth  nine 
weeks  are  given  to  each  of  these 
sports  respectively.  At  the  close 
of  the  third  nine  weeks  Coach 
Jocko  Hayes  chose  an  All-Star 
Volley  Ball  Team  from  all  the 
girls  participating  in  intramural 
volley  ball.  Each  member  of  the 
All  Star  Team  is  given  100  points 
toward  a  letter.  All  others  going 
out  for  volley  ball  and  who  are 
not  absent  more  than  twice  at 
practice  are  given  75  points.  The 
following  girls  were  selected  for 
the  All  Star  Team: 

Captain  Kitty  Allen

Record 


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. 


Baseball  Team  Wins 
S.  M.    C  Title 

Defeats  L.  M.  U.  5-4  For  Crown 

The  Milligan  Coll  eg?  Buffaloes 
have  brought  home  another  base- 
ball championship.  In  accomp- 
lishing this  feat  they  won  7  out 
of  8  conference  games. 

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 
won  when  B.  Webb  tripled  Sho- 
walter  home  in  the  eleventh. 
Alexander  pitched  for  the  Buffs 
and  did  a  wonderful  job. 

All  we  have  left  to  say  is  nice 
.vork,  ''Timber-Men".  Also  good 
luck  to  the  two  seniors  on  the 
team.

including  "Old  Acquaintances" 
and  *'The  Doctor's  Dilemma''

Milligan  Observes 
National   Music   Week 

(Continued  from  page  1) 

Milligan  College  students  pre- 
sented two  outstanding  musical 
programs  as  their  contribution  to 
National  Music  Week. 

Miss  Dorothy  Fox,  contralto 
soloist,  gave  a  vesper  recital  of 
sacred  music  in  the  college  audit- 
orium, Sunday  evening.  She  was 
assisted  by  Prof.  Edward  G. 
Lodter,  organist. 

The  second  recital  was  by 
Mis*  Kathyrn  Davis,  also  a  con- 
tralto soloist,  who  gave  her  junior 
recital  Friday  night  in  the  college 
auditorium,  assisted  by  Miss 
Aline  Hyder,  violinist. 

Both  Miss  Fox  and  Miss 
Davis  are  pupils  of  Miss  Frances 
LeDoyt  Yearly,  director  of  mu- 
sic at  Milligan.  Miss  Hyder 
studies  with  Miss  Margaret 
Haynes    Wright. 

Miss  Fox,  a  senior  at  Milligan 
has  been  a  member  of  the  college 
trio  for  four  years  and  has  ap- 
peared on  many  programs  given 
for  civic  clubs  and  other  organi-

Miss  Davis,  is  a  member  of  Mil- 
ligan faculty  and  an  accomplished 
pianist  and  organist. 


Juniors  Sponsor  Folk 
Party 

The  Junior  class  sponsored  a 
folk  party  given  in  the  gymnas- 
ium Saturday  night,  May  3.  The 
chief  entertainment  was  folk 
dancing  called  by  Mr.  Stafley, 
famous  caller,  who  called  dances 
at  the  World's  Fair.  The  folk 
dancing  classes  who  had  been 
given  two  previous  lessons  by  Mr. 
Stafley,  served  as  demostration 
groups.  This  seems  to  be  the  beg- 
inning of  a  new  type  of  entertain- 
ment which  will  have  a  promin- 
ent place  in  the  recreation  activ- 
ities of  the  future.

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.

Buffaloes  Enjoy  Season 

(Continued  from  page  5) 

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 
and  the  school  spirit  on  the  hill 
has  helped  make  1940-41  a  "Ban- 
ner Year"  for  the  school. 

The  Stampede  congratulates 
each  coach,  athlete,  and  student 
for  their  part  in  this  athletic  pro- 
gram. Especially  do  we  salute  the 
Seniors  and  wish  them  equal  suc- 
cess after  they  leave  us. 

This    ends  our  t-ports  round-

pose of  electing  the  successors  to 
Captains  Easterling  and  Riggs 

"Shorty"  V\  illiams  and  "Bo" 
Brummettwere  chosen  to  lead 
the  gridiron  boys  on  to  victory 
again  next  season  Both  of  these 
boys  will  be  seniors  next  year  and 
have  already  proved  themselves 
capable  of  this  honor. 

We  wish  to  congratulate 
"Shorty"  and  "Bo"  and  hope 
they  will  both  be  back  ready  to 
go  next  fall.

Convocation 


The  annual  convocation  ser-

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-

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. 

The  benign  looking  gentleman 
who  is  likely  to  ask  his  freshman 
Bible  students  "which  comes 
first  the  acorn  or  the  oak?"  is 
Dr.  Carpenter  who  teaches  Bible 
and  Greek. 

At  evening  you  see  him  sitting 
on  the  steps  of  the  boys  dormi-

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.

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?

Bernie  Webb 

Carries  On 

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. 

Track 

The  Milligan  College  track 
team  unoffically  claimed  the 
Smoky  Mountain  Conference 
track  crown  for  the  1941    season 

Lead  by  Dagata  and  Childers 
the  cindermen  bowed  only  to  the 
University  of  Tennessee  winning 
the  remainder  of  their  meets  in 
true  Milligan  style. 

New  men  earning  the  winged 
M  were  Ankeny.Sta'Iard,  Daniels 
and  Trotter. 


Girl's  Intramurals 

With  th?  scheduling  of  the  fol- 
lowing tournaments;  trnnis,  cro- 
quet, badminton,  and  archery;in- 
tramural  activities  are  well  under 
way.  Anyone  interested  .--hould 
see  the  captain  of  the  specific 
sport.  We  specially  urge  Fresh- 
men to  participate.  Come  on*1 
come  all! 

Old  intramural  girls  now  are 
campaigning  for  new  members 
I'oints  will  be  given  to  each

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.

Christian  Endeavor 


Officers  for  the  Young  People 
Group,  common  ly  <;  <iC1i;i- 
i  .n  tnd:  a. or,  were  elected  at  the 
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 
o'clock  each  Sunday  evening  in 
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 

The  boys  Sunday  School  Class 
met  for  their  initial  meet  with 
Star  Wood  as  teacher.  Officers 
elected  were  president,  Lawerence 
Gilliam;  vice  president,  Dave 
Trotter;  secretary,  Mike  Davis. 

Plans  were  for  the  future  and 
Mr.  Wood  talked  on  Student  Pos-

In  all  respect  to  Harris  of  the 
Journal;  we  would  like  to  say, 
"Milligan  is  not  singing  theblues 
in  regard  to  the  1941  football 
season  "  The  students  and  grid 
men  realize  that  the  best  medi- 
cine for  Coach  Lacey  is  that  Mil- 
ligan  pep  and  will  to  win.

The  program  was  then  con-

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.

tinuous  growth  of  the  defense 
program  provides  assurances  a- 
gainst  any  general  and  wide- 
spread recession.  The  dislocations 
caused  by  the  shifts  that  are  go-

should  be  offset  in  the  aggregate 
by  the  defense  industry  expan- 


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.

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

Star  Wood 

(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.

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

A 
BUFFALO 
HE(A)RD 


These  past  few  weeks  have  been  mighty 
strenuous,  and  Ole  Buffalo  has  nearly  staggered 
under  the  burden  of  keeping  tab  on  you  guys  and 

gals slow  up  there  and   do  a  little   studying 

for  a  change. 

Suppose  most  of  the  girls  have  noticed   and 

favor  Mullins  and   Spraker's  co-operation at 

least  Floogie  does. 

Funny  some  people  do  things  and  are  never 

conscious  of  them for   instance,  alienation  of 

affections. 

We  nominate  Bobby  Addenbrook  as  an  A-l 
heart  balm. 

The  "Power  House"  is  really  encouraging 
new  couples  this  year  in  a  forceful  way. 

Here's  to  the  latest  campus  favorite  --  Little 
Tweed-Heart. 

More  power  to  you,  Daisy  Mae. 

Miss  Childs  should  have  been  present  at  the 
Freshman  initiation  -  -  Quite  a  bit  of  talent  was 
revealed. 

Ed,  we  hear  you  are  not  overly  fond  of  South 
American  music  -  -  What  about  thit!  ! 

So  opposites  still  attract,  don't  they  Mike? 

The  freshmen  girls  really  believe  in  prepared- 
ness --  -^  We  counted  seven  umbrellas  Tuesday 
night. 

Sweet  Sue,  we  like  you. 

Wonder  why  we  think  of  the  Swiss  Alps 
when  we  see  Helen  Reed? 

We  admire  Alabama  Lee's  devotion  to  our 
beloved  coach. 

Have  you  heard  of  Georgia  Hilt's  dual  per- 
sonality? 

We  admire  "Reel"  sportsmanship. 

The  Herd  has  heard  Milligan  is  to  lose  one 
of  her  most  winsome  seniors.  How  about  it,  Net? 

Newest  and  best  looking  of  the  latest  cam- 
pus conples The  vote  is  unanimously  in  fa- 
vor of  Anita  and  Handsome  Bill. 

A  certain  senior  has  recently  joined  the  Mil- 
ligan Kitcheneers.  Whatcha  say,   Jocko? 

Why  does  it  thrill  Imogene  Odum  so  much 
to  go  home? 

Seems  the  boys  would  wake  up  to  the  fact 
that  there's  a  lovely  Nordic  with  a  lonely  heart 

right  here  on  the  campus,    -  --   place?  The 

Gym. 

Morrell,  we  believe  if  you'll  ask  her  for  one 
more  date  she'll  break  down. 

Jeff,  do  you  talk  in  your  sleep? 

FLASH !  Caffee  and  Nita  have  agreed  again 


Coach  Britton  has  switched  to  brunettes  -  - 
nice  going,  Jack. 

The  ghost  walks  at  midnight  -  -  -  so  do  four 
little  girls,  just  to  hear  the  Moonlight  Sonata. 

For  perking,  see  Sue  Thompson. 

Whassa  matter  Warren,  we  liked  you  and 
that  Cutest  Little  Noblett? 

Dorothy  and  that  convertable  go  well  to- 
gether. 

'Nita  loses  no  time  in  developing  tennis 
champs  -  -  -  how's  your  game  Dick? 

Same  song,  same  tune,  repeat  the  first  verse! 

How's  the  new  Spanish  teacher  Faust,  and 
what  about  the  French  now  Blanca? 

Then  there  was  the  gal  who  went  to  the  den- 
tist and  reported  a  boring  time. 

Seen:  Larry  Gilliam  enroute  to  Freshmen 
lab  with  a  chemistry  manual  in  one  hand  and  a 
hammer  in  the  other.  Do  you  s'pose  he  took  lit- 
erally the  adage  ol  "hammering"  knowlege  into 
one's  head? 

Warren  Gilbert  who  do  you  think  you  are?  - 
-  Bing  Astaire  or  Fred  Crosby? 

Hale  and  mysterious  phone  calls  seem  to  be 
synonymous.  Whatcha  say  for  yourself  Floogie? 

Oh -oh-  Jeff-  We're  gonna  tell  Dorricott. 
Whatcha  say  Freddie? 

Nita  and  Dick  declare  that  the  weather  man 
has  gone  "goofy".  Buckshot  rained  from  heaven! 

It's  a  ducky  story,  but  what  watery  attraction 
does  the  fishpool  hold  for  "Mose"  and  "Chink"? 

Steve  B.  has  such  difficult  "hitch-hiking 
problems"  that  it  would  take  a  psychology  prof. 
to  figure  them  out.  Elementary,  My  dear  Wat- 
son. 

Get  Hawkins  to  tell  you  about  Addenbrook's 
past,  present,  and  future.  How  about   it,   Mary? 

Duane  Cross  seems  to  be  the  man  of  the 
conference  hour  now with  Patsy. 

"Bo"  continues  giving  his  heart-to-heart 
talk  to  a  freshman.  Is  it  for  "better  or  for  worse"? 

"Bud-Bud",  are  those  socks  to  keep  your 
feet  warm. 

We  hear  Childers  has  a  "problem  child"  at 
Happy  Valley. 

It  was  reported  that  Alabama  "Crosby"  has 
been  giving  free  concerts  about  the  campus. 

Why  does  Nettie  run  outside  every  time  an 
airplane  flies  over  Hardin  Hall?  It  could  be  those 
"airmail-specials"  from  Le  Citadel. 

Why  did  Jocko  borrow  a  rope  last  week? 
Could  "Bud-Bud"  be  in  danger? 


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."

On  March  11,  1921,  Lenoir 
City,  Tennessee  was  the  birth- 
place of  another  Milligan  senior. 
After  eighteen  months  of  child-

TRACK  MEET 

The  speedy  substituting  of 
Bluefield  players  throughout  the 
game,  by  Coach  Lotito  caused 
one  to  wonder  if  a  track  meet 
wasn't  in  progress.  Incidentally, 
Coach  Lotito  also  tutors  the  track 
team.  Well,  Could  Be. 

WHAT'S  NEW? 

Everybody  was  glad  to  see  the 
newcomers  get  a  chance  to  show 
off  in  the  Bluefield  game.  Over- 
looked last  year  was  the  fact  that 
the  Herd's  second  team  perform- 
ed so  capably  as  to  give  the  first 
team  adequate  rest  for  a  power- 
ful last  half  drive.  Let's  go,  Fresh- 
men! 
SWOOP  SIGNALS 

Looming  high  on  the  horizon 
so  early  in  the  sea-son,  are  the 
Carson-Newman  Eagles  who  are 
vowing  to  the  last  -  -  that  they 
will  not  have  their  wings  clipped 
two  years  in  succession  by  those 
mean  Buffaloes.  They  look  like 
the  team  to  beat  for  the  confer- 
ence title. 
WORD  TO  THE  WISE  (CO.) 

We  want  to  congratulate  Nor- 
ton officials  for  the  excellent 
manner  in  which  they  handled 
their  first  big  college  event.  The 
affair  was  a  huge  success  and  we 
suggest  such  an  affair  be  held 
there  annually.  The  drawing  card 
would  benefit  future  enrollment 
at  Milligan.

CURE  GARNER 

Interchangable  in  the  Seven  Blocks  of  Granite 


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 
(Continued  on  page  6) 


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 

(Continued    on    next    column) 


Showalter,  Blessing, 
Penny,  Maupin  Score 


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. 

"Little  Jack"  Osborne  broke 
bose  for  an  S9  yard  goal  line 
jaunt  only  to  be  called  back  to 
nullify  the  brillant  dash. 


set  up  the  final  touchdown  with 
a  20  yard  pass  to  Maupin,  soph 
end.  On  the  first  play  Brummitt 
smashed  over  from  the  6.  Wil- 
liams again  split  the  uprights  and 
Milligan  had  notched  their  11th. 
consecutive  victory  without  de- 
feat.

'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 
the  suits  is  forty  dollars,  and  as 
yet  but  half  the  sum  has  been 
realized. 

Personal  contributions  and  the 
returns  of  several  movies  are  the 
only  means  the  club  is  using  to 
attain  the  goal  A  list  of  the  con- 
tributors is  to  be  posted  on  the 
bulletin  board  in  the  administra- 
tion building. 

The  uniforms  have  been  or- 
dered from  the  Knoxville  Athletic 
House,  and  are  expected  to  make 
their  initial  appearance  at  the 
Carson-Newman  game  Friday, 
October  17. 


Alpha   Psi  Omesa 

The  Eta  Lambda  of  the  Alpha 
Psi  Omega  met  October  3  under 
the  leadership  of  Edgar  Landers. 
Plans  for  amending  the  constitu- 
tion in  regard  to  entrance  require- 
ments were  discussed.  The  club 
this  year  will  be  under  the  follow- 
ing officers: 

President  -  -  Edgar  Landers 
Vice-President  -  -  N.  T.  Mathes 
Secretary  Emma  Good 

Treasurer  John  Hall 


The  Milligan  College  Pre-Med 
Club  has  launched  a  series  of 
programs  for  this  semester  which 
promise  to  be  very  interesting. 
The  first  program  in  this  series 
was  given  on  Monday  evening, 
September  29  under  the  direction 
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. 


Volunteer  Band  Report 

At  a  recent  meeting  of  Volun- 
teer Band,  new  officers  were 
elected  for  the  semester.  They 
are  as  follows:  president,  Kay 
Sluder;  vice  president,  Dick  Law- 
son;  secretary  and  treasurer, 
Anna  Margaret  Guinn;  song 
leader,  June  Farmer;  pianist, 
Kathleen  McKenzie;  reporter, 
Velma  Darbo. 

The  first  program  given  by 
the  new  officers  under  the  lead- 
ership of  Dick  Lawson,  was  a 
picture  presentation  of  Hof- 
fmann's head  of  the  Boy  Jesus. 

A  project  of  the  Volunteer 
Band  will  be  to  sponser  the  de- 
votional pamphlet,  the  Upper 
Room.  It  appears  in  quarterly 
issues.  Any  one  who  wishes  to

Freshmen  Girls  Initiated 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
be  found  sitting  gazing  in  goggle- 
eyed  wonder  at  that  boy  they'd 
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.

Dr.  Oambill  said.  That  is  our 
bodies,  the  mind  and  spirit  there- 
in are  the  only  onps  we  can  hope 
for.  It  is  important  that  we  con- 
sider the  care  we  must  take  of 
our  mind,  body,  and  spirit.  Each 
can  be  patched  but  not  replaced. 
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.

most  of  all  one  misses  mother's

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

'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.

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 -

A 
BUFFALO 
HE(A)RD 


So  Buffalo  thought  he'd  get  a  day  of  rest 
with  exams  in  view  —  but  did  you  guys  and  gals 
lei  up —  nzver!  Oh  well,  my  little  chickadees 
you've  had  your  fun,  but  now  to  let  the  world 
know  what  you've  been  doing  instead  of  joining 
the  intelligensia. 

It  seems  to  be  a  "shift  1-2"  for  some  of  these 
freshmen.  Gals,  why  don't  you  make  up  your 
minds  they  aren't  all  herons  'cause  they're  on  the 
foothall  squad.  (Remember  basketball  season  is 
just  around  the  corner.) 

Burk.'tt's  decided  lootball  games,  are  com- 
paratively speaking,  dull —  Shall  we  contribute 
this  fact  to  the  crisp  November  nights. 

For  weeks  we've  wondered  but  now  we're 
working  up  our  nerve  and  asking  —  a  bevy  of  girls 
are  convenient  but  W.  T.  and  Niel  why  don't, 
you  make  up  your  minds? 

Our  nomination  for   the   season's  most   unus- 
ual couple  -  Trotter  et  Noblett. 

We're  so  glad  to  see  Caffee  and  Nita  are  back 
in  the  groove. 

The  Tusculum  game   was  Fuller  suprises,  eh, 
Kitty?? 

What   brings   that  radiant  little  gleam    into 
Lake's  eyes  every  few  weeks? 

Seeing  N.  T.  over  at  conference   looks  good  to 
us  "in  any  language." 

Heading  the  number  one  steadies  is  Frank  and 
Hattie-  they're  way  out  in  front! 

And  then  there  was  the  girl  named  Virginia! 
Romance  runs  in  Hardin  Hall  between  6  and

lead? 

Believe  it  or  not,  "Pie"  (women-hater)  Gar- 
ner is  now  going  in  a  smooth  gallop  after  one  of 
our  freshman  girls.  For  further  information,  see 
"Pie". 

We  hear  that  Billy  Combs  and  Hubert  Home 
are  "Reel"  rivals. 

"Doodlebug"  has  been  making  his  appear- 
ances during  conference  hour  lately.  We  wonder 
who  the  special  attraction  is.  Time  will  tell  -  - 

Had  you  heard  that  Peggy  Gray's  heart  has 
been  "pierced"?  G.  B.,  could  you  explain  that 
faraway  look  in  her  eyes? 

Sugar,  is  it  the  way  "Termite"  calls  your 
name  that's  got  under  your  hard-boiled  surface 
and  causes  you  to  smile  back  at  her  real  sweetly 
when  you  think  no  one  is  looking. 

Steve  Bowen  and  Lorraine  Humphries  seem 
to  be  doing  all  right. 


Say  Doug  you'd  better  keep  an  eye  open 
when  she's  away  out  lhar— -  all  may  seem  Fair

When  Nita  and  Bill  were  asked  how  the  nd

Blance-  D(o)ug. 

We've  heard  Mary  Sue  enjoys  her  afternoon 
classes  fine. 

If  in  doubt  as  to  what  the  telephone  is  for 
see  Blanca  Vargas,  who  dusts  off  the  receiver. 

Anna  Margaret  has  been  attacked  by  the  in- 
curable "urge  of  migration"  you've  our  sympathy 
and  regrets,  young  one. 

Why  be  such  a  coward  Gene,  she  won't  go 
on  forever  playing  the  piano  —  remember  a  stitch 
in  time. 

Milagrosa,  do  you  really  think  Tommy  Miller 
is  "uu-te';? 

We  wonder  what  there  is  back  home  that 
causes  June  Williams  to  go  home  so  often. 

Information  please!  Faust  wants  to  know 
why  we  have  never  seen  Little  Orphan  Annie's 
mother  and  father  in  the  comics. 

Heard  from  a  senior  boy "Well,  at  least 

we  don't  have  to  do  any  more  studying  for  nine 
weeks."  (Wrong  again  its  eleven-  -  don't  forget 
the  holidays!) 

At  last  we've  figured  out  where  Trotter  got 
that  shirt  that  we've  been  thinking  was  tops. 
He's  drowned  some  referee  at  a  football  game  and 
removed  same! 

Maxine  Snodgrass  is  pretty  good  at  missing 
busses,  frankly  we  think  she  just  couldn't  stand 
to  leave  us. 

Neil,  we  like  that  look  in  your  eyes  and  that 
smile  on  your  face.  WHY  doesn't  Sallie  come 
more  often?  ?  ? 

Frankly,  Mike,  we  are  surprised.  We  just 
wouldn't  have  thought  that  you'd  break  aiule. 

June  is  teacher's  pet. 

Trotter  says  he  knows  the  alphabet  but  he's 
never  seen  any  A's!  ! 

I  guess  "Sugar"  Cure  will  have  to  learn  to 
sing  if  he  keeps  pace  with  Alabama  Lee  and  this 
Johnson  City  brunette. 

According  to  Wade  the  world   is  in  an   awful 

mess it  would  be  appreciated  if  one  of  the 

fairer  sex  could  change  his  attitude. 
Who  will  be  next  on  your  list,  Jocko?

who  were  interested  in  basketball 
to  get  their  shoes,  trunks,  etc. 
and  to  report  to  J.  0.  Cheek  act-

Reporting  for  duty  were  fifteen

McDowell,  and  Riddle.  ,;Doc"

King  Subdues  Buffs 

LastSaturday  night  the  Buffalo 
squad  and  a  large  numberof  stu- 
dents and  Iriends  journeyed  to 
Bristol  to  battle  the  King  "Tor- 
nado" for  the  S.  M.  C.  champion- 
ship. (Air  boys  were  given  a  very 
rude  reception  and  being  unable 
to  do  anything  right  lo.ct  a  heart- 
breaking contest  by  the  score  of 
20-0. 

The  Milligan  followers  sat  in 
the  cold  stadium  and  witnessed 
during  the  first  half  a  magnifi- 
cent, bitter  struggle  between  two 
great  teams  with  neither  team 
being  able  to  score,  although 
both  passed  up  scoring  opportuni- 
ies. 

Early  in  the   third  period  the 

tornado   started    blowing     with

EftS    33-0 


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." 


Aaron   Wade 

Quote:  "I  think  I  was  bom 
June  27,  1920  in  Decatur,  Tenn- 
essee. I  just  can't  remember  that 
far  back." 

Wade  completed  his  first  six 
years  at  Idlewild,  Tennessee  and 
(Continued  on  Page  6) 


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." 

Mr.  Archie   Gray

Mr.  Archie  Gray,  member  of 
our  faculty  and  pastor  of  the

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Derthick 
Honor  Trustees,  Faculty 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  H.  J.  Derthick 
gave  an  informal  tea  Oct.  27,  in 
honor  of  the  Board  of  Trustees 
and  Faculty  of  Milligan  College. 
Among  the  trustees  present  were 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Price  of  North  Can- 
ton, Ohio. 

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, 
who  is  herself  a  trustee,  poured 
tea  at  various  periods  during  the 
afternoon. 

Miss  Evelyn  Hannah,  daugh- 
ter of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ferrell  B. 
Hannah  of  Johnson  City,  enter- 
tained during  the  afternoon  with 
various  selections  on  the  harp. 
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 
a  copy  of  the  resolutions  adopted 
at  the  last  board  meeting  in 
May,  1941,  expressing  their  ap- 
preciation of  the  faithful  service 
of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Derthick  during 
their  23  years  of  leadership  at  the 
college.

Before  he  came  to  Milligan  he 
planned  to  be  a  preacher  but 
now  he  has  changed  his  field  of 
study.  He  came  to  Milligan  due 
to  the  influence  of  his  boy  friends 
already  here.  While  here  he  has 
majored  in  economics  with  mi- 
nors in  French,  English,  and  his-

carrying  extra  hours  and  will  not 
have  time  for  this  extra  currieu- 
lar  activity;  he  will  also  be  clas- 
sified as  a  senior  at  the  semester. 

David  has  been  very  capable 
in  both  capacities  and  the  class 
regrets  losing  him. 

John  Hall,  an  off  campus  stu- 
dent from  Johnson  City,  was 
elected  class  president  and  Gelda 
Bernie,  a  campus  favorite,  was 
unanimously  elected  Junior  asso- 
ciate    editor  of    the  Stampede. 


Intramurals 


Meet  the  champs!  We  present 
the  winners  of  the  intramural 
activities  for  the  first  quarter. 
Georgia  Hilt  proved  to  be  "Robin 
Hood"  of  the  archery  tourna- 
ment with  Sara  Stere  as  runner 
up.  Mae  Kiser  pitched  her  way 
to  fame  by  defeating  Estelle 
Skeen  in  the  horseshoe  finals. 
Starring  in  croquet  was  Kitty 
Allen,  the  victor  over  Thelma 
Amis.

Poetry 

If  your  writer  was  a  poet  he 
would  try  to  interpret  his 
thoughts  in  verse,  but  it  is  a 
thing  of  poetic  rhythm  to  see 
"Pee  Wee"  Osborne  carry  that 
"pig  skin". 
Scoop 

Those  of  you  who  were  here 
last  year  remember  our  publicity 
director  "Scoop"  Monahan.  Your 
editor  has  received  word  that  he 
will  be  in  the  army  November  25; 
he  has  volunteered  for  the  para- 
chute troops.  "Happy  landing." 
ORCHIDS  - 

Little  has  been  said  about 
Verlin  Gillam,  our  football  man- 
ager. We  should  like  to  throw  a 
bouquet  of  orchids  your  way, 
Verlin,  for  doing  such  a  good  job 
this  year.

points.  The  Buffaloes  tried  des- 
perately to  come  back  but  just 
didn't  click.  In  the  fourth  quar- 
ter King  scored  another  touch- 
down after  an  extended  drive  and 
made  their  final  marker  when 
Quillen  intercepted  a  Buff  pass. 
It  was  a  very  disappointed 
team  and  crowd  of  Buffaloes 
after  the  game  but  such  is  foot- 
ball and  we  can  take  it.  Now 
let's  see  how  hard  we  can  bound 
back  against  Concord. 


COMMENTS 

(Continued  from  page  2) 
our  labor  and  farm  lobbies  are 
still  too  powerful.  In  the  words 
of  a  House  member  "the  bill 
gives  administrator  Hender.-on 
power  to  control  everything  but 
inflation." 

In  the  final  instance  the  gov- 
ernment agencies  which  have 
been  established  to  control  pri- 
orities are  running  into  trouble. 
Neither  OPM  nor  SPAB  has 
been  given  administrative  power 
of  sufficient  authority. 

Unless  controls  are  adopiedthe 
result  of  these  various  problem 
areas  will  be  adomestic  situation 
which  will  be  well  out  of  hand. 
Without  further  and  more  effect- 
ive controls  we  are  in  for  an  in- 
flationary spree.

erations.  Apparently  the  picture 
is  an  original  by   George   Henry 
Marlowe  and  was  painted  in  1816 
or  1817. 

Mr.  Gray  has  had  the  picture 
examined  by  experts  at  Mellon 
Art  Gallery  and  Smithsonian  In- 
stitute. The  estimated  value  of 
the  portrait  is  $2500. 

Following  chapel  the  students 
had  the  opportunity  of  examining 
the  picture  which  is  in  a  wooden 
frame.  The  coloring  is  delicate 
and  the  features  are   distinct. 


The  Forum  Group  met  Mon- 
day evening,  November  3.  Dur- 
ing the  first  part  of  the  hour, 
Chairman  Walter  Faust  present- 
ed to  the  group  a  proposal  that 
we  join  the  International  Rela- 
tions Group.  The  group  approv- 
ed this  and  voted  to  change  the 
name  of  the  organization  from 
Forum  Group  to  the  Carnegie's 
International  Relations  Group, 
the  advantage  being  that  we  are 
entitled  to  receive  material  on 
the  subject  of  international  re- 
lations. 

For  the  information  of  those 
who  might  wish  to  attend  the 
meetings  in  the  future,  it  was 
also  voted  that  the  time  of  meet- 
ing would  be  changed  from  the 
first  and  third  Mondays  to  the 
second  and  fourth  Mondays  of 
each  month. 

The  topic  for  discussion  of  this 
meeting  was  "The  Post-War 
Day."  The  following  points  were 
presented  and  discussedat  length : 

1.  Faults  of  the  Versailles  Treaty 

Gelda  Bernie 

2.  Basis  for  Future  Peace 

Walter  Faust 

3.  Possibilities  for  World  Peace 

Aaron  Wade 
A  general  discussion  by  the 
group  followed  and  it  was  final- 
ly decided  that  the  possibilities 
for  world  peace  lay  in  education 
of  the  masses.

MILLIGAN  COLLEGE,      TENN.,  MAR.   12.  1912.

News  and  Notes 

James  Monk?,  character  actor 
currently  appearing  on  CBS  day- 
time serial,  "Life  Can  Be  Beau- 
tiful, "can  also  be  seen  in  "How 
Green  Was  My  Valley"  and 
"Joan  of  Paris  "  Monks,  incident- 
ally, is  only  26  years  old. 

What  would  a  voice  sound  like 
hundreds  of  feet  beneath  the 
English  Channel  in  a  subterra- 
nean tunnel?  That's  the  problem 
whicli  recently  faced  the  produ- 
cer of  a  CBS  program.  He  wanted 
to  recreate  the  famous  attempt 
to  dig  a  passage  between  France 
and  England  in  1882.  A  series  of 
exhaustive  tests  finally  revealed 
the  fact  that  an  actor  with  his 
head  in  a  barrel  seemed  to  re- 
sult in  the  most  authenric  sound. 

The  Columbia  Recording 
Corporation  has  just  announced 
the  release  of  a  two-sided  record 
containing  "President  Roose- 
velt's War  Message  to  Congress 
and  the  Nation,"  delivered  ovei 
the  various  networks  on  Decem- 
ber 8,  1941. 

Kate  Smith  is  rapidly  develop- 
ing into  the  Sweetheart  of  the 
Army,  Navy  and  Marines.  By 
vote  of  the  men  in  uniform,  she 
is  the  only  singer  yet  to  make  a 
return  appearance  as  the  special 
vocalist  on  "Your  Hit  Parade," 
and  when  the  CBS  star  took  her 
program  to  the  Great  Lakes 
Training  Station,  Lieutenant 
Eddie  Peabody  told  her  that  12, 
000  naval  men  had  officially 
named  her  "Sweetheart  of  the 
Great  Lakes."

Our   Sympathy 

We,  the  faculty  and  student 
body  of  Milligan  College,  take 
this  means  of  expressing  to  Miss 
Angle  our  deepest  and  most  sin- 
cere sympathy  in  the  recent  loss 
of  her  mother. 


In  The    Chapel 

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." 


Child  Evangelist  Speaks  in 
Chapel 

Rev.  J.  Leo  Hall,  of  Louisville, 
Ky.  ,  child  evangelist  who  is 
spending  sometime  in  Johnson 
City,  was  guest  speaker  in  the 
chapel,  Wednesday  February  25. 

He  used  as  his  scripture 
reading  Matthew  18,  and  pointed 
out  in  various  ways  the  impor- 
tance of  children's  work,  since, 
"a  little  child  shall  lead  them." 


Mrs.  Frank  Baker 


Mrs.  Frank  A.  Baker,  repre- 
sentative of  the  Bahai'  Faith, 
spoke  in  Chapel  on  Thursday 
February  12. 

Mrs.  Baker  presented  the  Ba- 
ha'i  idea  of  what  world  unity  is, 
why  it  should  be,  and  why  we 
today  should  be  thinking  of  it. 
She  talked  on  a  program  for  safe 
and  sane  peace,  described  a  scien- 
tifically united  world,  reviewed

Our   Sympathy 

To  Frances  Shepherd,  and  the 
others  of  her  family,  Milligan 
College  students  and  faculty 
wish  to  express  their  sincere  syn- 
pathy  in  their  recent  bereave- 
ment.

EXTRA!!! 


A  TRUE  CHAMPION! 

In  the  past,  the  name  of  "Doc"  Eyler  to  the 
sport  circles  of  upper  East  Tennessee  has  meant 
a  "Championship  Coach''  in  basketball.  This  fact 
can  be  attributed  to  his  record  while  serving  as 
coach  at  Milligan  -  so  take  a  look  for  yourself  at 
the  standing  of  his  S.  M.  C.  teams  for  16  years.

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.

"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

Our  only  objection  to  dawn's  breaking  at

lectures. 

Ted,  why  so  blue  over  the  week-end  —  re- 
member, worry  causes  a  Whitehead. 

Could  it  be  Trotter's  new  job  gives  access  to 
the  stepladder? 

Loraine  seems  to  be  "Nealing"  instead  of

June  Farmer  is  really  patriotic  —  she's  for

Perhaps  Lane's  having  been  born  on  July  4

"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. 
Saw  a  boy — on  the  bank 
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.

To  all  the  BUFFALOES  in  the

BASKETBALL  SEASON  CLOSED  FEBRUARY  21 


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, 
Hayes,  Garner,  and  Cure  with 
each  reserve  also  aiding  to  the 
cause.  Exum  paced  the  Teacher 
attack.  The  final  score  was  56  to 
40. 

shot  and  was  followed  with  goals 
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. 


Tornado   Blows  Over 
Buffaloes 


Feb.  5,  our  basketeers  took  to 
the  road  in  quest  of  another  vic- 
tory which  found  them  warming 
up  on  the  King  College  court  at 
8  o'clock.  The  fireworks  soon  be- 
gan and  the  Jirst  half  found  the 
Buffs  leading  24-23.  But  King 
came  baek  in  the  second  half

Paul  Hodge 

Paul  was  born  at  Bluefield,  Vir- 
ginia, on  May  27,  1922  and  after 
playing  around  for  five  years  be. 
gan  his  schooling  at  Belfast,  Vir- 
ginia. From  Belfast  he  moved 
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- 
cer and  holds  the  Eagle  Badge 
with  all  three  palms. 

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 
hopes  to  continue  in  that  occupa- 
tion. However  if  Uncle  Sam  calls 
him,  he  desires  to  take  up  avia- 
tiou  mechanics.  In  his  leisure 
time  he  prefers  camping,  photog- 
raphy, and  travel. 

To  the  freshmen  he    wishes  to

she  is  going  to  graduate  school. 
From  there  on  it  is  extremely  in- 
definite. She  likes  to  read  and  to

On  Monday  night,  February 
9.  l  he  club  met  and  after  a  short 
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- 
ston Churchill's  veiwson  the  new 
peace— a  general  discussion  fol- 
lowed. 


Mary  Cooke 

Mary  Cooke  was  born  in  the 
state  of  North  Carolina  and  liv-

fifth  year  of  grade  school.  Then 
she  moved  to  Elizabethton  and 
has  been  a  Tennessean  ever  since. 
She  finished  both  grammar

she  was  a  member  of  the  Home 
Economics  Club,  Aristotle  Club, 
and  the  Pep  Squad. 

Mary  was  a  day  student  at 
Milligan  for  three  years,  and  she

Pre-Med   Club 

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.

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.

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

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.

Her  ambition  is  to  be  a  tech- 
nician and  she  plans  to  go  on  to 
school  for  further  study. 

One  ot  her  hobbies  is  collect- 
ing poetry.  Mary  gives  this  ad-

She  Represents  Milligan 

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.

party  began  Saturday  evening, 
March  28,  at  8  o'clock  and  con- 
tinued until  Mr?.  Bowman  rang 
the  "curfew"  at  eleven. 

The  entertainment  began  when 
the  girls  arrived  at  Pardee  Hall 
to  pin  their  crazy  corsages  on 
their  dates,  who  were  then  led  to 
the  chapel  to  witness  one  of  the 
biggest  hits  of  the  season  —  a 
minstrel  with  the  traditional  mas-

acrobats,  and  black  end-men. 
First  note  of  thanks  goes  to  Kitty

Uncle  Sam  Calls  Again 

Sunday,  March  15,  MUligan

and  indeed  a  true  gentleman, : 
when  Frank  Spraker  left  school ' 
to  join  the  ranks  in  Uncle  Sam's  [

We  hoped  our  giant  tackle] 
would  be  allowed  to  complete 
this  school  year  but  were  inform- 
ed last  week  that  Spraker  could 
be  deferred  no  longer  and  it  is 
understood  that  he  began  his 
training  this  past  Monday. 

It  is  with  deep  regret  that  we 
have  to  lose  our  clas-mate  and 
friend  but  we  know  that  be  will

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

Spring  is  here you'd  better  be    good, 

or  yuull  get  "ctmfrrevced". 

George  Bowman  enjoys  heart-to-heart  talks 
with  Mary  Hawkins,  says  he  likes  her  philosophy 
of  life. 

Jocko  might  have  preferred  just  plain  trout, 
but  we  are  now  wondering  if  he  hasn't  changed 
his  choice  in  preference  for  Ehinor. 

Why  dosn't  Sam  Stallard  continue  his  Latin- 
American  relationships?  They  say  he's  an  excel- 
lent instructor  in  both  psychology  and  art  — 
Could  Milaprosa  explain  al'  this  to  her  public? 

John  Davis  will  surely  now  dismiss  his  dis- 
like for  conference  hours,  that  is  if  last  Saturday 
night  is  any  indication  of  the  change  in  his  atti- 
tude. 

It's  been  reported  that  Kay  Sluder,  Kath- 
aleen  McKenzie,  and  Emma  Good  recently  en- 
joyed a  quiet  Sunday  evening  reading  their  fav- 
orite book.  What  you  say.  girls? 

Graveley  contributes  his  recent  success  as  a 
barber  to  his  new  style  in  hair-cuts  —  the  evi- 
dence is  rather  noticeuble! 

Jane  seems  rather  lonesome  these  days  since 
she  has  temporarily  lost  her  tackle,  and  why 
shouldn't  she? 

From  all  indications,  Jeff  still  cares  for  her 
recent  Romeo.  Anyway,  that's  a  good  picture 
which  now  decorates  her  dresser. 

Thomas  says  that  he  enjoyed  "Tailspin 
Tommy"  immensely  the  other  night. 

Could  someone  explain  the  latest  in  nick- 
names, "Clippy''Shaw? 

Jeanne  Allen  recently  celebrated  her  and 
Bobby's  first  weekly  anniversary.  Keep  up  the 
good  work,  Bobby. 

It  seems  that  a  few  girls  have  taken  a  sudden 
interest  in  tennis  —  why  do  they  do  it? 

Is  there  any  particular  reason  for  Helen 
Reid's  diligent  work  in  freshmen  chemistry  lab. 

Paul  "Dynamite"  Breeding  could  possibly  be 
serious  this  time,  at  least  we  hope  so. 

Gray  Musick  has  now  been  considered  as  a 
dormitory  student  -  he's  a  member  of  one  of  the 
fire-fighter  squadrons. 

The  latest  nomination  for  the  number  one 
couple  in  campusology  is  none  other  than  Harry 
and  Mary  Sue. 

Jocko  recently  informed  your  editor  that  he 
intends  to  wed  his  "one  and  only"  as  soon  as  he 
is  presented  with  his  sheepskin.  Let's  keep  this  a 
secret. 


Ask  Burkie  why  he  suggested  a  black  tie.  We 
didn't  know  he  had  any  worries. 

Could  Ted's  failure  in  throwing  the  wrong 
"curves"  ba  contributed  to  his  lack  of  conference 
lately. 

Is  it  possible  that  Slew  and  Faust  still  be- 
grudge that  long  strenuous  hike  up  a  near  by 
mou'ain  side  they  took  a  few  months  back. 

There  was  much  mourning  last  Friday.  Haw- 
kins over-fed  her  pet  mouse  and  a  burial  cere- 
mony was  in  order. 

Does  Evelyn  Cox  enjoy  bananas  because 
they  have  no  bones? 

Have  you  seen  the  siirn  on  Room  25,  "Learn 
all  about  Termite,  the  Hidden  Destroyer"?  Ter- 
mite, does  the  Navy  and  knitting  go  well  to-

We  all  have  noticed  Elkins  and  his  "hero-

we  feel  like  "snoozing''

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 
but  not  on  the  bull's  eye. 

Remembering  the  "remains" 
I  ate  my  refreshments  and  drank

Baseball   Resumes 
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.

Around  The  Cinder 
Track 


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 

The  basketball  season  ended 
with  the  regular  tournament. 
The  blue  team,  with  Kitty  Allen 
a>  captain,  won  two-best  out  of 
three  games  From  both  trams 
the  coaches  selected  the  following 
All  Star  Team:  Kitty  Allen. 
Georgia  Hill,  Peggy  Gray,  Mae 
Kiser,  Juanita  Johnson,  Estelle 
Skeen,  Sara  Steer,  and  Loraine 
Humphries. 

The  Intramural  Group  shmved 
more  interest  than  ever  in  bowl- 
ing, the  activity  that  is  rapidly 
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- 
gun. Nine  girls  have  entered,  and 
they  are  playing  off  their  matches 
as  rapidly  as  the  weather  per- 
mits. 


McConnell  Initiated 

Not  long  ago  you  probably  no- 
ticed another  rangy  Buffalo 
wearing  a  small  "M"  upon  his 
forehead  for  a  few   days.    Well, 


With  The  Racket  Boys 

The  tennis  courts  at  Milligan 
began  to  bustle  with  activity  la:-t 
week.  The  warm,  spring  weather 
was  too  much  to  resist,  >o  the 
boys  and  girls  eot  out  their  tennis 
racquels.  dusted  th'-m  off.  and 
after  scraping  up  a  few  old  balls 
went  down  to  the  hard  surfaced 
courts  and  began  to  limber  up  a 
few  muscles. 

Dr.  Thompson,  tennis  roach, 
called  the  fir-t  .q  :ad  practice  <  n 
Manh2  .and  twelve  boys  re- 
ported for  duty.  Among  the 
twelve  ther^  are  only  two  letter- 
men  returning,  Captain  Freddie 
GreerandW.  T.  Mathes.  Hav- 
ing lost  his  number  one  and  two 
men  of  last  year's  squad,  Coach 
Thompson  faces  the  task  of  knit- 
ting anoth?r  winning  team 
around  these  two  veterans.  How- 
ever, he  has  a  few  prospective 
newcomers  in  W;arren  Gilbert. 
Steve  Bowen,  Douglas  King,  and 
Waiter  Faust,  and  alter  a  little 
seasoning  they  should  brighten 
his  outlook  quite  a  bit. 

Tennis  balls  have  been  order- 
ed but  to  date  have  failed  to 
come  in.  For  this  reason  and  due 
to  the  uncertainly  of  transpor- 
tation the  complete  schedule  lias 
not  been  secured,  but  Manager 
Gilbert  has  a  tentative  schedule 
and  can  probably  complete  it 
when  these  problems  are  solved. 

But  leave  it  to  ,,Doc",  he  has 
never  failed  to  put  a  good  team 
on  the  courts,  and  you  can  bet 
that  he'll    do  it  again  this   year. 


that  was  only  a  part  of  the  prp- 
limmary  procedure  in  which 
Carroll  McConnell  was  invited  to 
participate,  after  he  had  earned 
his  fiist  letter  on  the  hardwood. 
Now  it  is  all  over  and  the  club 
is  proud  to  welcome  this  young 
athlete  to  its  roll.  Congratula- 
tions, Mac.

WHO'S 

W  H  O! 

By  Mary  Sue 

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.) 


N  ews  and  Notes 

Major  Edward  Bowes  conducts 
his  Original  Amateur  Program 
from  Miami  Beach,  Florida,  for 
two  broadcasts  beginning  Thurs- 


Ted  Alexander 

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. 

During  his  leisure  time  he  col- 
lects postcards,  baseball  records, 
and  reads.  For  thefrosh  he  adds: 
"Take  two  and  then  hit  to  the 
right." 


day,  March  26,  and  on  that  date 
enters  his  eighth  year  as  a  coast- 
to-coast  headliner.  During  its 
successful  run,   more   than   182, 


000  hopeful  amateurs  have  been 
auditioned  and  5,500  talented 
aspirants  actually  were  heard 
over  the   air.

THE  STAMPEDE 


APR.  3,  1942 


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, 


New   Schedule 

(Continued  from  page  I) 
this  year's  addition  to  the  fac- 
ulty, is  in  charge  of  the  Victor- 
ian Literature  and  Shakespeare 
classes.  Doctor  Willard,  profes- 
sor of  modern  laneuage  and 
ancient  history,  assumed  respon- 
sibility f  jr  the  British  Survey  and 
Modern  Drama  courses.  Profes- 
sor Long,  in  addition  to  his  edu- 
cation and  philosophy,  consen- 
ted to  meet  the  American  Liter- 
ature class. 

We  are  indeed  fortunate  in 
having  such  a  versatile  faculty, 
and  through  their  splendid  co- 
operation, the  new  schedule  is 
running  smoothly. 

Buffaloes    Volunteer 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
eliminated  by  the  government. 
At  the  present  time  Ranger  Kir- 
by  and  his  men  have  155.000 
acrps  of  land  to  protect  against 
fire,  but  they  hope  to  handle  all 
emergencies  as  far  as  possible. 

Immediately  following  the 
Ranger's  call,  the  entire  group  of 
boys  volunteered  their  services 
when  needed  and  Dean  Cochrane 
has  recently  organized  the  Buff

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.

In  the  midway  appeared  such

various  rooms  on  first  floor  were 
found  the  "dollar  a  kij-s"  booth

haunted  house,  and  a  "shoot

to  the  best  marksmen. 

The  crowd  was  refreshed  at 
the  "Fountain  of  Youth"  with 
pink  lemonade,  and  served  with 
ice  cream.  A  vote  of  thanks  goes 
to  the  girls  on  first,  who  donated

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. 

Frank  Knox 
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.

According  to  'Ole  Man  leather  we're  some- 
times in  doubt  about  spring's  being  here  -  -  but 
just  by  looking  around  the  campus  -  well,  you 
can  draw  your  own  conclusions.  Have  fun  kids, 
you've  got  only  six  weeks  'til  vacation. 

Martha,  we  haven't  noticed  a  rationing  of 
"sugar"  lately.  Ineidently,  her  supply  may  never 
be  rationed. 

Maupin  believes  in  keeping  the  girls  at  "arms 
length."  What  do  you  think,  Marie? 

Flowers  to  Jeanne  and  Jessee  -  -  quite  a 
cute  couple,  don't  you  think? 

Suppose  you've  all  observed  Joe  steadily  con- 
ferening  our  Mississippi  blonde  -  -  Nice  going. 

Ted,  you're  a  wonder  -  -  we'd  really  like  to 
know  how  you  manage. 

Sugar  is  gaining  notoriety  as  our  Isaac  Wal- 
ton -  -  must  be  that  handsome  outfit  he  wears 
while  sitting  on  Buffalo's  banks  holding  his  pole. 

Come  on  'Bama,  you're  breaking  someone's 
heart  by  running  off  to  town  like  that. 

Wonder  how  Trotter  is  getting  along  with  his 
chemistry  project.  It  appears  to  us  like  spontan- 
eous conbustion! 

The  most  traveled  road  these  days  leads 
from  Milligan  to  Washington  and  Vicinity  --we 
wonder ! 

Why  was  Marjorie  Cross  so  unhappy  Friday 
night  -  -  and  why  didn't  she  get  any  supper? 

Well.  Tompkins,  being  best  man  must  have 
been  fun,  but  wouldn't  a  double  wedding  have 
been  better? 

A  certain  brunette  seems  to  be  Alabama's 
latest  heart  throb.  We  heard  he  called  for  her  af- 
ter his  recent  collision  on  the  baseball  field. 

Could  Bill  Coleman  possibly  be  worried 
about  his  recent  competition. 

Evelyn,  thst's  really  a  good  addition  to  your 
display  of  photographs 

Has  Jeff  decided  where  that  soft,  sweet  whis- 
tle comes  from? 

Jocko,  please  don't  scare  her  like  that  any- 
more -  -  she  has  a   weak  heart. 

Why  wait  longer,  Paul?  After  all,  there  are 
only  about  four  more  weeks. 

"Haste  makes  Waste",  Nettie.  Watch  your 
step. 

Kermit,  there  at  last  seems  to  be  a  slight 
break-up.  Now's  your  chance. 

Why  does  Imogene  Odom  sing  "Somebody 
Else  Is  Taking  My  Place"  so  much? 

Delay  is  fatal,  Pardue.  Ask  her  now. 


We  presume  you've  all  met  "The  Suitcase 
Twins,"  or  have  you? 

Seems  that  life  has  returned  to  normal  again 
for  our  cross-country  hikers  -  -  we  were  all  pull- 
ing for  you! 

For  the  low-down  on  Carico  and  that  week- 
end at  home,  see  Pardue. 

Florence  seems  to  be  treading  on  air  these 
days  --  could  it  be  Georgetown  et  all? 

Everyone  thoroughly  enjoyed  the  "Short" 
following  "Kathryn  The  Great." 

Miss  Man-  Nannette  Mathes  names  her  post- 
runner-up,  Mary  Jane  Hawkins,  "Miss  Domes- 
ticity." (She  does  wonders  with  a  potato.) 

The  final  remains  of  "Alice  Blue  Gown"  was 
laid  to  rest  in  peace  on  Monday  night,  April  13. 
To  Nita  we  express  our  deepest  sympathy. 

"Stoney"  Stallard  gallops  from  Betey  Town 
tri-weekly  to  attend  his  heart-warming  psychol- 
ogy class,  where  he  "beats  around  the  bush"  with 
Mary. 

What  would  we  do  without: 

-  -  Alabama  in  there  pitching. 

-  -  Green  pastures  to  graze  in. 

-  -  Bo's  red  socks  on  the  diamond. 
--  "Big  Train's"  right  arm. 

-  -  Termite's  hidden  beaut}-. 

-  -  Men  at  Hardin  Hall  during  conference. 
locko  to  give  us  cream  for  the  coffee. 

-  -  Tip  to  whistle  when  the  girls  walk  by. 

-  -  'Lil  Abner's  broad  sholders  to  hide  behind. 

-  -  After  chapel  meetings  to  delay  classes. 
--  The  best  shortstop  in  the  club. 

-  -  The  witty  trio  in  the  back  of  chapel. 
What  is  the   meaning  of   Bo  explaining  to 

Margie,  "Ich  liebe  dich!" 

Ask  Alabama  about  the  "The  Courtship  of 
K.  R." 

Why  did  the  faces  of  Abner,  Pie,  Bo,  and 
Tommy  shine  like  "new  moons  last  Thursday 
nignt?  Could  it  be  the  Moonglow  of  the  neon 
signs? 

Mary  Sue's  favorite  song  these  days  seems 
to  be  "I  Don't  Want  to  Walk  Without  You,  Har- 
ry." By  the  way,  Sue,  what  happened  to  you  last 
Sunday? 

-James  Mooie  should  rate  headlines,  but  we 
will  give  him  a  special  column  next  time  if  he 
beau  Junior  again. 

Mid,  it  really  worked,  didn'tit.

"OZZIE    SAYS" 

In  case  you  are  down  in  the 
dumps  —  get  me  a  tire. 

Minds  are  like  parachutes, 
they  won't  work  unless  they  are 
open. 

Akard  is  writing  a  new  play, 
"Letters  to  Lucy."  It's  a  "mello- 
drama!" 

So  many  activities  at  the  end 
of  the  year  cause  a  "blooming 
buzzing  confusion." 

Now  that  tires  are  being  ra- 
tioned, let's  hope  that  we  have 
enough  shoe  leather  to  go  'round. 

The  itch  to  get  married  has 
kept  many  an  old  maid  scratch- 
ing for  a  husband. 

Congratulations,  Mrs.  Jarreet.

.ially  inexperienced  racket  boys 
,o  Tusculum  April  16  to  encoun- 
,er  Clyde  Dennis'  Pioneer  squad 
)n  the  clay  courts.  The  Buffs 
ost  6-1  but  the  final  score  is 
lardly  indicative  of  the  close- 
less  of  the  contest.  Four  of  the 
ieven  matches  went  to  three  sets 
ind  we  still  think  our  netters 
vill  come  through  when  they  get 
i  little  more  experience  under

The  Buffalettes  won  the 
smashing  victory  36-18.  Milli-

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. 


Base-runners  Opened 
With    Teachers 


Coach  Lacey  and  his  diamond 
boys  opened  their  baseball  sea- 
son April  7,  when  they  rekindled 
the  traditional  rivalry  with  Tea- 
chers College.  The  stage  was  set 
as  Curtiss  walked  to  the  mound

Laceymen  Defeat 
Pioneers 

Last  Tuesday  the  Buffalo  bats 
slowed  up  a  bit,  but  with  very 
good  pitching  saw  the  Tusculum 
"spike-boys"  subdued  by  a  mar- 
gin of  four  runs. 

Cross  hurled  the  first  five 
frames  and  was  the  winning  pit- 
cher; this  was  his  first  appear- 
ance on  the  mound  this  season 
and  we  hope  he  will  be  able  to 
continue  his  elbow  work  for  our 
cause.  Alexander  finished  the 
game  retiring  the  Pioneer  Bat- 
ters easily.

to  face  the  "to  date  untested" 
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- 
ed the  attack  as  the  Buffs  out-hit 
their  opponents  before  coming 
back  for  supper  with  clean  spikes 
and  a  17-6  victory.

This  handsome  "Romeo" 
known  to  us  as  N.  T.  comes  to 
Milligan  fromElizabethton,  hav- 
ing lived  there  all  of  his  life, 
which  began  February  9,  1920. 
He  started  to  school  there  and 
completed  both  elementary  and 
high  school.  During  his  high 
school  years  he  held  various  class 
offices,  and  was  a  member  of  the 
Debating  Club,  Dramatic  Club, 
Modern  Thespians,  "E"  Club, 
having  participated  in  tennis, 
golf,  and  track. 

N.  T.  was  a  boy  scout,  holding 
the  office  as  Counselor  for  two 
years  at  Camp  Unaka  in  Bristol. 
He  also  had  two  years  of  R.  0. 
T.  C.  and  the  honor  of  becoming 
an  officer  in  that  group. 

He  came  to  Milligan  in  the  fall

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- 
troduced by  Dr.  R.  C.  Rankin  of 
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. 

Contributions  may  be  left  with 
Miss  Violet  May. 

Rev.  and  Mrs.  Floyd  Stark  and 
Mr.  Keith 

Rev.  and  Mrs.  Floyd  B.  Stark 
of  the  First  Baptist  Church  of 
Elizabethton  and  Mr.  Keith, 
their  new  educational  and  music 
director  from  Jacksonville,  Flori- 
da were  guests  in  chapel  on  April 
7. 

Mr.  Keith  led  the  group  in 
singing  "You  Can  Smile".  He  was 
accompanied  by  Mrs.  Stark  at 
the  piano. 

Mr.  Keith  sang  "Lord's  Pray- 
er"(Pearl  Curran)  "Shipmates  of 
Mine"(Sandalsons)  and  a  spirit- 
ual, "Lord,  I  Want  To  Be  a 
Christian  in  My  Heart." 

Rev.  Stark  prayed  the  prayer 
of  benediction. 


Reverend  Beiderwieden 

On  Friday,  April  3,  we  had  in 
the  chapel  Reverend  Beiderwie- 
den of  the  Lutheran  Church,  who 
talked  with  us  for  a  few  moments 
on  "Preparation  for  the  Easter 
Festival."  The  group  sang 
"Christ  Arose,"  and  the  scripture 
used  was  Corinthians  15:  17,  18, 
20.

THE  STAMPEDE 


APR.  25,  1942 


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. 


Chapel    Speakers 

(Continued  from  page  5) 

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

ion  and  schooling  that  he  would 
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 
children,  and  it  is  evidenced  an- 
nually when  she  receives  an  array 
of  Mothers  Day  Greetings  from

COMMENTS 

(Continued   from  page  2) 

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".

The  1942  May  Festival 

On  Friday,  May  1,  MUHgan 
College  presented  its  annual  May 
Day  Festival  before  an  audience 
composed  of  students,  newcom- 
ers, parents,  and  guest.  Reigning 
over  the  festival  were  the  Queen 
and  King  of  the  May,  Lake  John- 
son and  Mike  Davis. 

The  key  note  of  the  festival, 
chosen  with  an  eye  to  current 
world  events,  was  a  patriotic  one, 
and  the  aim,  as  -staled  by  the  an- 
nouncer, David  Trotter,  was  "to 
portray  the  development  of 
America  to  what  she  is  today 
through  the  gifts  of  all  nations.

(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.

Washington,  D.  C. 

Students  of  Milligan  College 
Milligan  College,  Tennessee 
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.

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,

(A  burning  episode  of  the  way  62  Milliqan 
fire-eaters  under  the  direction  of  Lone  Ranger  Kir- 
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. 
by  Ozzie 


He  felt  normal  real  quickly  and  out  of  his  pain. 
"Oh  never,"  said  David,  "will   I    dare    to    write 

shoddy 
Of  a  course  which  preserved  my  soul,  mind,  and 

body."

A  BUFFALO 
HE(A)RD 


For  the  last  time  'til  fall  Ole  Buffalo's  bad 
his  ear  down  listening  for  the  beat  of  the  herd  -  - 
and  have  they  been  stampeding!  Everything  from 
weddings  to  break-ups  have  been  floating  'round 
us-  so  we've  had  plenty  to  watch  and  just  as 
much  to  tell-  here  goes  and  we've  caught  you  all. 
We  heard  Nita's  temperature  was  too  much 
for  the  thermometer  she  used  Tuesday  night. 
What  about  it  Nita? 

Many  thanks  Elizabeth  Givens  for  that  gor- 
geous pie.  You're  a  regular  homemaker. 

Steve  and  D.  Goss  seem  to  be  getting  started 
and  at  this  late  date,  too! 

In  spite  of  the  rationing  -"sugar  of  lead"  is 
being  used  in  great  quantities  on  the  campus. 
(Sorry  we  can't  put  a  fence  around  that  poison- 
ivy  folks  !!) 

Addenbrook,  that  post-conference  jaunt  can 
be  most  embarrassing  at  times,  we  suggest  you 
brush-up  on  your  technique  this  summer. 

For  consistency,  we  nominate  Lane  and  Kit- 
ty- here's  hoping  they  carry  on  next  fall. 

We  second  Mrs.  Derthick's  motion  for  a  lit- 
tle rice-  had  we  known  the  couple  was  coming 
home,  we  might  have  had  it  ready.  Congratula- 
tions, Shag. 

Pie's  doing  swell  these  days-  incidentally, 
Thelma's  not  doing  so  bad! 

Pardue  and  Carico  are  holding  "a  meeting 
up  in  the  hollar"  this  week.  Come  everyone. 

We  too  want  to  know  the  significance  of  a 
white  flag?  Ask  B.  S.  !! 

Bo  is  especially  fond  of  Alabama's  serenades. 
That  must  be  an  invitation  for  another. 

Betsy  Town's  Romeo  seems  to  have  a  Juliet 
in  Hardin  Hall.  Slagle  and  Hawkins  are  conspic- 
ious  by  their  absence  from  each  other. 

Termite,  he  is  going  to  frame  that  lovely 
white  sweater. 

Has  everyone  noticed  that  Gelda  is  stepping 
high,  wide,  and  handsome  these  days? 

Jack  let  out  his  secret  this  week-  since  com- 
ing to  MiDigan  the  height  of  his  ambition  has 
been  to  "lead  in"  the  seniors  at  commencement- 
were  betting  on  you,  boy! 

Flowers  to  the  Serenaders! 

For  a  lecture  on  the  beauty  of  womanhood, 
see  Ankeny. 

It's  rumored  wedding  bells  will  be  chiming 
again  very  soon-  and  its  still  the  Navy. 

To  Freddie,  W.  T. ,  and  Tollie-  we  express 
our  deepest  regrets  at  their  never  having  become 
regular  callers  at  Hardin  Hall-  we  tried,  how  we 
tried  \ 


Milagrosa  says  that  there  is  a  rascal  on  the 
campus-  who  is  it? 

The  "M"  Club  Banquet  sort  of  messed  things 
up.  Many  gals  were  quite  surprised  that  so  many 
'home  towners"  were  imported-  guess  we  can 
take  it,  eh? 

At  last  Jeanne  Allea  seems  to  have  hooked 
that  freshman  she's  been  after  all  year. 

Our  Texas  gal  seems  to  have  fared  quite  well 
in  Chattanooga  from  the  looks  of  that  convert- 
ble-  but  what  happened  Monday? 

"Doc"  Mathes  is  making  plans  for  a  victory 
garden  of  lettuce.  What  vitamin  is  it  we  need, 
W.  T.? 

The  Cardinals  do  have  a  good  catcher  this 
season  -  "Hardrock" ! 

Abner  is  taking  a  correspondence  course  in  the 
Braille  System.  Have  him  demonstrate  his  accom- 
plishments. 

When  Lane  and  Brummett  get  in  "this  man's 
army"  -  the  war  will  soon  be  over.  Just  ask  them 
and  see!! 

Is  it  the  "Chattanooga  Choo  Choo"  you 
catch  at  4:20  P.  M.  ,  Walter?  Good  luck! 

For  advice  to  the  lovelorn  see  "Dorthy  Dix" 
Hall.  Guaranteed-  or  your  money  back. 

A  shower  will  soon  be  given  to  furnish  the 
Hawkins,  Johnston,  and  Mathes   apartment.  All 
are  cordially  invited. 
Sugar:  Wonder  what  they're  goin'  to  do  with  the 

old  men  that  they  draft? 
Abner:  I  guess  they'll  take  the   silver  from   their 
hair,  gold  from  their  teeth,  lead  'outa  their   pen- 
cils- and  junk  'em! 

Pardue  says  that  poison  ivy  certainly  put  him 
in  the  shade  for  a  week  -  or  -  so. 

The  Hayes -Allen  feud  has  all  of  us  worried 
-  careful,  Jock,  you  may  lose  out. 

What  has  subdued  Anita  so,  guess  it  really 
must  be  love. 

We  never  thought  a  girl  capable,  but  Jane's 
proven  she's  loyalty  plus. 

We  notice  that  Lawson  has  been  conferencing 
with  Shaw  lately.  More  power  to  you,  Dick. 

Sinc.e  Termite's  knitted  product  turned  out  so 
well,  she  has  decided  that  maybe  she  is  the  do- 
mestic type  -  look  out,  Jack ! 

Hawkins  and  Mathes  seem  to  have  found  new 
attractions  among  these  day  students. 

At  le?st  Nita  Johnston  has  decided  upon  a  pro- 
fession-yes,  Nita,  we'lllike  you  as  a  Miller. 

Scoop!  The  source  of  this  information  is  un- 
known, but  it's  rumored  that  Alabama  Lee  and 
Nell  Slay  have  been  keeping  certain  secrets  from

'Neath  willows  and   oaks  on  the

Ole  Buffaloes  ye  do  stroll 
While  back  upon  the  horizon 
The  bell  is  ready  to  toll. 
A  half-hours  romance  is  thine, 
On  the  steps  or  wherever  it  be 
Beware  of  any  straight  line 
A  curved  one  is  shorter  to  thee. 
Oh,  days  in  the  old  library 
Where  flirting  sure  has  a  knack 
And  the  smiles  on  the  senior  faces 
Once  gone,  lets  hope  they  come 

back. 
Oh    Milligan  we'll  never  forget

LACEYMEN  STOMP  O.T.  18-0  In  FINAL  GAiE 


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". 


Tracksters   Turn  Back 
Cavaliers 

Milligan  College  tracksters 
traveled  to  Bluefield,  West  Vir- 
ginia, May  2,  to  defeat  the  Blue- 
field  Cavaliers  in  a  nip  and  tuck 
meet.  The  Buffaloes  were  lead 
by  Maupin  and  Gamer  who 
gleaned  19  points  each.  The  final 
result  of  the  meet  rested  upon 
the  high  hurdles.  Milligan  cap- 
tured both  first  and  second  for  a 
59-67  victory. 

The  list  of  events  are  as  follows  :

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

Alexander  Hurls 
Shutout 

Coach  Steve  Lacey 's  "ram- 
bling  nin*>"  dosed  1  heir  current 
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- 
ing- for  U.  l\  it  was  Slater  to 
Mitchell.  The  Buffs  oppned  the 
first  inning  with  four  runs  and 
continued  their  ''power  at  the 
plate"  against  Jenkins,  who  re- 
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- 
enth \  ictory  of  the  year,  an  18-0 
shutout. 

2.  The  Laceymen  had  clo-ed 
their  most  successful  season  in 
many  years. 

3.  In  the  sixth  inning  Harry 
Pardue  knocked  two  home  runs 
as  the  Buffs  scored  eight  runs  in 
their  ''big  inning." 

4.  The  Buffs  collected  their 
greatest  number  of  hits  for  a  sin- 
gle game  and  played  errorless 
ball  in  the  field. 

5.  "Bo"  Brummitt  connected 
for  the  longest  homer  we  have 
witnessed  in  four  years. 

6.  Three  seniors  played  their 
last  game:  Alexander,  Brummitt,

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.

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

somewhere  in  Wise  County  Aug- 
ust 19.  1921.  He  has  lived  in 
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

lowship in  the  study  of  Bacterio- 
logy at  V.  P.  I.  this  year  but  now

get  to  resume  his  study  of  medi- 
cine ana  become  a  doctor  some 
day. 

Photography  is  his  most  inter-

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.

Dean    Eyler    Writes 
To    Students 

(Continued  from  page  2) 
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, 
Clement  M.  Eyler 
Captain,  Infantry

The  paper  is  about,  as  peppy 
As  a  cemetery  lot. 
The   paper  shows  poor  manage- 
ment 
The  "Heard"  they  say,  is  stale, 
And  upper  classmen  holler, 
While  lower  classmen  rail. 
But  when  the  paper's  printed 
And  the  issue  is  on  file, 
If  some  guy  missed  his  copy, 
You  can  hear  him  yell  a  mile.

Derthick  entered  the  auditorium. 

Following  the  chapel  talk,  W. 
T.  Mathes,  president  of  the  sen- 
ior class,  made  the  prespntation 
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. 


1942     May  Festival 

(Continued  from  page   1) 

The  program  began  with  a 
humorous  skit  entitled  "Three  of 
a  Kind."  depicting  a  conversa- 
tion among  Hitler  (Don  Pierce), 
Mussolini  (Bobby  Addenbrook). 
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 
pole.  The  program  then  closed  as 
Brolher  Carico  and  Pardue  from 
Coeburn,  Virginia  extended  their 
appreciation  to  the  committees 
over  the  loud  speakers  for  a  most 
enjoyable  evening.

CHARLES  E.  BURNS,     PRESIDENT  OF  MILLIGAN  COLLEGE 


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. 

Miss  Ivor  Jones,  former  Milligan 
College  graduate,  is  head  of  the  Eng- 
( Continued  on  Page  6) 


Sunday  September  6,  the  an- 
nual convocation  service  was  held  in 
the  Hopwood  Memorial  church.  Mr. 
Archie  Gray,  pastor  of  the  church, 
welcomed  the  students  and  President 
C.  E.  Burns,  speaker. 

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. 

Three  attitudes  shall  prevail  in 
the  lives  of  those  who  adhere  to  the 
text.  They  will  look  to— have  a  broad 
perspective.  President  Burns  reminded

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.

Milligan  Plans  Extensive 
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 

steak." 


Girl's  "M"  Club 

The  girl's  "M"  club  met  and  elected 

the  following  officers: 
President,  Allie  Hyder 
Vice  President,  Kitty  Allen 
Secretary  -  Treasurer,     Helen  Gray- 

beal 


Intramural  Party 

The  intramural  girls  gave  a  party 
for  their  little  sisters  at  the  home  of 
their  manager-elect  Allie  Hyder  Tues- 
day 8. 

The  program  was  explained  to  the 
visitors  for  the  year  and  each  new  girl 
was  urged  to  join.  Refreshments  were 
served  by  the  Girls  "M"  Club. 

Boys      M     Club 

The  Milligan  College  Boys  "M" 
Club  met  September  9,  in  the  parlors 
of  Pardee  Hall  for  their  first  meeting. 
President  David  Trotter  urged  the  try- 
outs  for  new  cheer-leaders  to  be  gotten 
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. 


Cheerleaders   Elected 

The  Milligan  College  "M"  Club  met 
in  the  parlor  of  Pardee  Hall  and  elect- 
ed Cheer  Leaders  for  the  '42-43  athletic 
season;  those  elected  were:  Jack  Ank- 
eny,  Warren,  Ohio;  David  Trotter, 
Knoxville,  Tennessee;  Mary  Catherine 
Allen,  Ocean  View,  Delaware;  Evelyn 
Roe,  Johnson  City,  Tennessee. 

An  all  out  pep  meeting  was  planned 
for  Thursday  night,  and  the  sentiment 
demonstrated  was  to  beat  the  Wasps.

THE  STAMPEDE 


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 
boys  will  be  going  around  here  with- 
out the  tops  of  their  heads. 

We  can't  help  but  notice  that  Jane's 
favorite  expression  is  "Frankly". 

The  latest  letter  to  come  to  our 
campus  from  Gen.  MacArthur  was 
one  to  Gilda  Bernie.  It  seems  that  they 
want  her  for  foreign  service  against  the 
Japs  -  those  fingernails!  And  then  too- 
she  got  a  letter  from  Warners  Brothers.

There  are  so  many  widows  on  the 
campus  that  they  have  even  talked  of 
forming  a  club  -  Anna  Margaret,  Max- 
ine,  Nola,  Jane,  Lorine.  Jack,  Jinny, 
Dick,  Slew,  G.  B.,  and  all  the  rest. 
Those  of  you  who  aren't  mentioned 
here  had  better  see  about  joining  and 
soon! 

We're  sure  that  Mrs.  White  will  ap- 
preciate working  in  the  nice  clean  store 
this  year.  Maybe  some  of  the  students 
could  stand  a  paint  job. 

In  case  you've  noticed  a  new  rad- 
iance in  President's  office  it  can  be  at- 
tributed to  Violet  -  both  her  face  and 
ring.  Congratulations,  De  Witt. 

We  notice  that  Kitty  is  travelling 
down  that  same  Shady  Lane  the  did 
last  year. 

If  anybody  needs  an  assistant,  call 
on  Xell  Slay.  Everybody  else  seems  to 
have  done  it.  Sure  is  good  to  see  you 
back,  Nell. 

The  newest  Buffs  to  be  seen  hang- 
ing around  the  trail  to  conference  this 
year  are  J.  B.  Combs,  Norman  Walk- 
er, Joe  Dann,  Domke,  and  Matherly. 

Can't  help  but  wonder  whom  Ala- 
bama was  serenading  on  the  south  east 
corner  of  the  girls'  dorm  the  other 
night.  Could  that  have  been  your  head 
sticking  out  the  window,  Graybeal? 

Tweedie  seems  to  be  helping  Big 
Bill's  brother  follow  in  Bill's  footsteps. 
HMMM  Cute  couple! 

Since  Rip's  joined  the  Air  Corps  he 
keeps  Trotter  awake  every  night.  Every 
time  he  practices  a  power  dive  he  falls 
out  of  bed  on  his  ear. 

We  thought  we  were  being  honored 
by  a  visit  from  Veronica  Lake,  but 
when  we  brushed  the  hair  out  of  her 
eyes  we  found  it  to  be  none  other  than 
Nita.  We  were  glad  to  see  her  too,  tho. 
Chief  collector  of  radiator  fees  in  the 
girls'  dorm  is  Jinny  Burkett. 

We  were  so  afraid  that  our  "Pearce- 
sonality  would  not  be  back  this  year  - 
but  now  he's  here!  The  work  (?)  can 
be  begun. 

Addenbrook  is  letting  everyone  know 

that  "a  co-ed  has   gone   to   his  head."

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,

PORTRAITS 


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

the  students  that  such  an  attitude,  al- 
though hard  to  maintain  in  the  chaotic 
conditions  of  todays  world,  is  necess- 
ary for  future  peace. 

The  second  attitude  is  the  up- 
look  of  life-the  look  toward  the  hope, 
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 
look.  All  men  must  be  brothers  for  no 
race  is  superior,  and  tolerance  is  the 
important  factor.  God  is  father  of  all.

year,  and  the  Stampede  Staff. 

Her  advice  to  freshmen  is:  Be  good, 
sweet  child,  and  let  who  will  be  clever. 


Horse  sense:  Stable  thinking. 


These  days  a  cheerful  idiot  is  envi- 
able. 


The  man  who  is  waiting  for  some- 
thing to  turn  up  might  start  with  bis 
shirt  sleeves. 


They  laughed  when  they  saw  him 
put  iodine  on  his  check;  they  didn't 
know  that  he  had  received  an  awful 
cut  in  his  salary. 


The  only  thing  that  goes  faster  than 
time  is  money. 


We  dare  not  leave  one  thing  undone 
that  will  contribute  to  victory,  because 
victory  may  be  achieved  by  a  close 
margin.

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.

Time  is  flying  past  but  not  too  fast 
for  Ole  Buffalo  to  get  a  line  on  what 
all  you  guys  and  gals  are  doing  here 
on  the  hill. 

We  hear  from,  a  very  reliable  source 
that  Ed.  Laws  is  color  blind.  How  a- 
bout  it,  Ed.? 

Question  of  the  month  —  Why 
doesn't  Morris  Daniels  choose  one  of 
his  admirers  and  become  an  All  Con- 
ference Man? 

Some  people  appreciate  art,  some 
jnusic,  but  none  can  appreciate  a 
good  joke  book   like   Van    Hartsook. 

We  understand  why  Mabel  won't 
give  the  Milligan  boys  a  break  — 
Who's  that  next-door  neighbor  of 
yours,  Mabel? 

Edna  Willson  is  kept  busy  looking 
after  Edna  Walters  these  days  -  or  is 
it  vice  versa? 

After  three  rounds  with  a  certain 
senior  the  other  night  Don  Pearce  de- 
clares himself  ready  for  Joe  Louis  or 
Billy  Conn  either  one. 

Linda  Showalter  tells  us  that  bright 
and  shining  look  in  her  eyes  last  week- 
end was  caused  by  a  visit  from  her 
"Shag".  Cute  couple! 

"George"  Giliy  says  that  Graybeal 
picks  just  the  right  time  to  take  a  walk. 
She  likes  Virginia  Beauty  Apples,  too. 

Milligan  has  acquired  two  new 
musicans.  It  seems  that  Combs  and 
"Hotshot"  are  now  applying  their  tal- 
ent to  "Horns". 

"It's  so  peaceful  in  the  library"  these 
nights.  Wonder  why? 

Crofton  Ba3's  has  acquired  a  vocab- 
ulary that  keeps  us  all  -  even  the  pro- 
fessors -  on  our  toes. 

Earl  Peters  is  stepping  high,  wide, 
and  handsome  these  days.  Anybody 
noticed? 

Cutest  conference  couple  —  Rhea 
Gilbert  and  Jean  Blair. 

The  closest  friends  on  the  campus 
at  present  -  Bill  Lilly  and  his  hat. 

"Red"  Lane  would  like  to  announce 
that  he  is  ready  to  resume  his  occupa- 
tion of  the  summer  —  cabinet  making. 

Leave  it  to  "Zeke"  Brokaw  —  he 
gracefully  presents  his  date,  "Miran- 
dy"  Tweed  with  Whitman's  choco- 
lates!?) and  white  orchids(?). 


We  have  been  hearing  excellent  re- 
ports of  Prof.  Faust's  teaching  in  John- 
son City. 

Believe  it  or  not  —  Jack  Ankeny 
seems  to  be  remaining  true  to  "Ter- 
mite" 

Fred  Barnes  recently  made  himself 
very  popular  (?)  collecting  coke  bottles 
in  the  Ad  Building. 

Most  popular  visitor  at  the  Mary- 
ville  game  was  "Pie"  Garner.  We're 
glad  you're  coming  back  at  the  semes- 
ester,  "Pie".  P.  S.  Amis  is  glad  too. 

Prof.  Ripley  is  handing  out  some 
good  grades  in  lab  class  these  days.  It 
must  be  due  to  his  ability  to  instruct. 

Kitty  Allen  has  us  all  wondering 
why  she  was  so  worried  this  past  week- 
end. 

Wanda  Blake  seems  to  be  having 
trouble  deciding  if  it  will  be  Domke  or 
Cooley.  Xice  thing  they  are  roomates- 
or  is  it? 

Milagrosa  has  found  another  Bud- 
Bud  we've  noticed  -a  six  foot  one  this 
time. 

Fred  and  Ursula  seem  to  have  done 
a  neat  little  job  of  patching  up  their 
difficulties.  Nice  work. 

Jane,  we're  going  to  be  right  behind 
you  to  welcome  Spraker.  Happy  week 
end. 

We  hear  reports  from  the  war  waged 
on  third  floor  of  Pardee  Hall.  For  the 
particulars  see  Privates  Moore,  Gilmer, 
Hurt  and  Admiral  Brooks. 
"Harry"  Carrico — Say,  Bill,  what's 
the  idea  of  wearing  my  raincoat  today? 
"Bill"  Pardue  —  Well,  you  wouldn't 
want  me  to  get  our  new  sweater  wet 
would  you? 

A  high  school  boy  came  up  to  Ed 
Laws  after  the  Maryville  game  and 
asked  for  his  autograph.  He  looked  at 
it  with  joy,  then  his  face  turned  blank, 
"Shux,"  he  said,  "I  thought  you  were 
"Alabama  Shiney"  Lee. 

Hotshot  says  he  who  laughs  last 
laughs  best  but  he  who  eats  last  gets 
nothing. 

Here's  a  toast  I  once  heard  —  Here's 
to  you  as  good  as  you  are!  Here's  to 
me  as  bad  as  I  am!  But  as  good  as  you 
are  and  as  bad  as  I  am,  I'm  as  good 
as  you  are  as  bad  as  I  am.

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?

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.

Merry  Chrsstm 

and  a 
Happy    New    Year 


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 
livened  the  party.

QUALITY  STREET,  presentation 
of  the  Milligan  College  Players,  was 
given  in  the  college  auditorium  at  8:15, 
Tuesday  evening,  November  IS,  1942. 
The  play,  written  by  James  M.  Banie, 
deals  with  the  life  of  the  Misses  Thros- 
sel  and  their  friends  of  Quality  Street. 
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 
part  of  Miss  Phoebe  Throssel;  Miss 
Hensley 's  presentation  and  interpret- 
ation of  the  role  was  excellent.  Opposite 
Miss  Hensley,  David  Trotter  as  Valen- 
tine Brown  gave  an  exceedingly  good 
performance.  Mr.  Trotter  has  proved 
outstanding  in  dramatics  in  the  past. 
Miss  June  Leonard  as  Susan  Throssel 
created  a  character  which  many  will 
long  remember.

Buffaloes  Roll  Over  Emory 
Finish    Undefeated 

( )ii  October  24.  r.lie  stampeding  Buf- 
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. 

With  less  than  five  minutes  left,  Os- 
borne of  Emory  blocked  Quillen's  punt 
and  McGlothin  recovered  in  the  end 
zone  for  a  touchdown.  The  try  for  the 
extra  point  was  wide. 

Nice  going  Buffaloes!

Calls 


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. 


Captain  G.  B.  Pierce 

With  the  football  season  successfully 
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 
Miller  at  the  forwards,  Arnett  at  the 
pivot  spot,  and  Shepherd  and  Matherly 
at  the  guards.  On  another  five  he  has

ace Pett't.  a  Sophomore  from  Grundy, 
Va.,  and  Billy  Comhs,  also  a  Sopho- 
more from  Jonesville,  Ya.  The  boys 
were  suffering  with  a  pain  in  their  side 
and  it  was  necessary  to  have  an  oper- 
ation in  both  cases. 

Horace  went  to  Riehlands  Hospital 
and  from  all  reports  seemed  to  pro- 
gress nicely.  No  doubt  he  enjoyed  his 
"vacation",  but  we're  glad  he's  back. 

Billy  was  relieved  at  the  Applachian 
Hospital  in  Johnson  City.  Girls,  don't 
rush  up  with  too  many  flowers  and 
too  much  food,  for  Billy  can't  enjoy

We  are  glad  both  boys  are  back 
with  us.  and  that  their  recovery  has

Winning  War  and  Losing 
the  Peace 

by  President  C.  E.  Burns 

On  Sunday.  November  12,  President 
0.  E.  Burn.-  brought  the  Sunday  morn- 
ing message  to  1  he  studinls  and  fit i- 
ssens  of  the  (oniniunity.  Kis  subject 
was 'Winning  Wars  and  Losing  the 
Peace."  In  outline' the  President  said 
what  follows  in  the  way  of  summary: 

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.

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!

THE   STAMPEDI 


Bond  and  Stamp  Drive 

Sponsored  by  "M"  Club 

The  "M"  Club  is  sponsoring  a  drive 
for  I  lie  sale  of  bonds  and  stamps.  It,  is 
the  clubs  desire  for  every  student  of 
Milligan  to  purchase  a  bond  or  stamp, 
as  much  as  he  or  she  can  afford.  Do 
your  part  Buffaloes  and  lets  put  this 
drive  over  100%.  If  we  bo  this  the 
school  will  receive  a  large  "E"  as  an 
award  for  100%  cooperation.  "Gi«c  a 
buck,  and  help  a  buck  private."  If 
you  can't  afford  a  bond  buy  a  stamp, 
livery  little  bit  helps.

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. 


Quality   Street

Leonard  were  supported  by  a  superb 
cast.  Highlights  of  the  performance 
were  Mainda  Showalter's  presentation 
of  the  stern  Miss  Willoughby  and  Mary 
Croley's  interpretation  of  Patty  the 
outspoken  maid. 

Miss  Floyd  Childs,  head  of  the 
Drama  Department  of  the  college,  dir- 
ected the  play.  She  was  assisted  by 
Miss  Gelda  Bernie.  Steve  Bowen  was 
Stage  Manager  and  Miss  Hilda  Mad- 
ron was  Property  Manager.  Robert  Ad- 
denbrook was  electrician  and  Miss 
Ruth  Rich  was  in  charge  of  the  cost- 
umes. Olin  B.  Ripley,  Jr.  was  Business 
Manager  of  the  play. 

All  agree  that  the  play  is  one  of  the 
most  successful  produced  at  Milligan 
College;  and  are  looking  forward  to 
future  presentations.

been  using  Williams  and  FordorNeece 
anb  Gilmer  at  the  forwards,  Hartsook. 
Heaten  or  Peters  at  center,  Lily  and 
Walker  on  guard.  Out  of  these  two 
groups  Coach  Lacey  hopes  to  find  a 
winning  combination.  He  is  working 
the  boys  hard  in  order  to  smooth  over 
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.

Buffalo     Feature 
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. 


Notice    Students 

May  I  suggest  that  the  proposal  of 
securing  sulfrage  for  boys  and  girls  18, 
19,  and  20  be  thoroughly  discussed  by 
members  of  your  student  body  and  if 
the  proposal  is  approved  that  you  let 
us  have  the  benelit  of  yonr  reaction  as 
soon  us  possible. 

Then  too  may  I  suggest  that  the 
student  body,  if  it  approves,  pass  a  Re- 
solution directed  to  your  Governor  or 
State  Legislature,  asking  for  their  sup- 
port in  extending  suffrage  lo  youth  of 
18,  19,  and  20  if  they  feel  it  is  to  the

Kathleen  Adams  Bowman 

Although  Mrs.  Bowman  has  lived  in 
Elizabethton  all  her  life  she  had  never 
been  on  the  Milligan  College  campus 
until  she  came  here  as  a  student;  but, 
once  having  arrived,  she  has  remained 
either  as  a  student  or  faculty  member. 

While  here,  as  a  student  she  entered 
into  many  extra  curricular  activities, 
including  student  council,  the  school 
paper,  the  inter-collegiate  debating 
team,  the  college  orchestra,  the  literary 
societies  and  dramatic  club.  Her  senior 
year  she  was  editor  of  the  Buffalo.  She

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 
importance,  to  maintain  Christianity,  and  to  have  peace. 
Whether  or  not  the  results  of  the  struggle  are  disastrous 
or  satisfactory  depends  upon  the  youth  of  today.

The  Milligan  basketball  team  can 
take  its  place  beside  the  other  fine 
clubs  of  this  section  as  a  fiphting  and

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,

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.

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.

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,

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,

THE  STAMPEDE 


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 
against  boys.  Now  its  girls  against 
boys. 

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

Maupin:  (on  back  row)    "Coca  cola 
for  me." 

Home  Ec.  no.  108  seems  to  be  the 
most  popular  course  in  the  curriculum 
this  semester. 

If  Thelma  Amis  and  Kitty  Allen  set 
out  for  Washington  soon  you  may  con- 
clude that  they're  going  to  see  about  a 
patent  for  the  new  type  of  mop  they've 
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 


what  we  hear  of  Tom,  the   sailor,   she 
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 
court:  the  man  who  is  killed  or  the 
killer?" 

"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" 
who  has  accepted  a  po-ition  with  a 
higher  concern.  To  qualify  the  appli- 
cants must  be  willing  to  work  at  night 
and  must  remain  sober,  while  on  the 
job. 

Several  complaints  have  come  in 
concerning  the  noise  the  girls  who 
gather  to  escort  Carico  to  breakfast 
are  making  Other  members  of  Pardee 
claim  that  they  can't  sleep. 

If  Little  Red  Riding  Hood  lived 
today 

The  Milligan  Girl  would   scorn  her; 
She  only  had  to  meet  "one"  wolf, 
Not  one  at  every  corner. 

David  Trotter  had  his  close-out  sale 
the  other  night  and  reported  very 
good  results.  James  Moore  says  that 
he  is  going  to  fire  his  sales  director, 
"Salty"  Brooks  if  he  doesn't  stop  all 
this  competition.

(A  note  from  your  editor) 

In  his  mad  attempt  to  bring  you  scandal  almost  be- 
fore it  happens,  Izzy  Ozzy  has  once  more  risked  his  life. 
In  view  of  this,  sit  back  in  your  shrivled  chair  and  enjoy 
these  choice  bits  of  scandal  gathered  from  the  four  corn- 
ers of  the  campus  by  Ozzy  Winshield,  and  brought  to  you 
by  the  makers  of  PEAHUNEY'S  BALMY  BALM. 
"BALMY  BALM  FOR  DIRTY  PALM". 

"SCRAMBLED  SCANDAL" 

Good  evening  Buffalo  Males  and  Females: 

Bill  Lilly  is  really  on  the  job.  He's  even  doing  his 
Christmas  "Shuping"  for  next  year.  Early  Bird! 

Latest  reports  have  it  that  Emerson  has  bought  a 
ring,  and  is  preparing  to  take  the  leap  from  which  there 
can  be  no  recovery.  (Not  the  Army). 

Gracious  to  Bascom  Pierce  Jr.  for  giving  yours  truly 
an  adding  machine  to  total  his  points. 

They  say  that  Lorine  uses  Rosalind  Russell's  method 
of  reducing.  She  is  also  developing  a  tennis  technique. 
New?  Its  a  cross  between  hop  scotch  and  ping  pong. 

Speaking  of  basketball  shots,  Edd  Thomas  seems  to 
have  found  his  Range! 

Attention :  Permission  has  been  given  to  Power  House 
to  attend  to  all  drips  telling  moron  jokes  on  the  campus. 
Morons  will  be  excused.  The  complaint  is,  bad  moral. 

Flash:  General  Mac  Pearce  has  just  returned  to  Par- 
dee Hall  after  a  brief  parlee  in  (CENSORED). 

To  those  who  persist  in  cutting  chapel;  Not  orchids 
but  Dandy-lines! 

A  NOTICE  FROM  OUR  SPONSOR,  I'll   be   back   in   a 
flash  witn  some  trash ! 

You  men  who  work  in  the  dishroom,  especially  Billy 
Buckley!  Have  you  tried  "Balmy  Balm"?  Your  dish 
water  hands  will  become  as  smooth  as  sandpaper  w.th 
onlv  one  application!  Ask  Tom  Hagy,  he's  a  Balmy  cus- 
tomer! Back  to  Sailer  Winshield. 

FLASH:  Tubby  Gilliam,  Grand  Director  of  the 
Bearded  Beauties  has  signed  the  final  decree  for  the  shav- 
ing of  beards.  Note:  Not  heads!  Some  say  Tubby  was  in- 
fluenced by  means  of  female  blackmail. 

If  its  true  that  ones  strength  lies  in  his  hair,  we've 
got  a  bunch  of  weaklings  around  here. 

Admiral  Addenbrook  and  Admirable  Madrin  were 
seen  sailing  ice  cream  cups  on  the  creek.  Naval  Reserve! 

Morris  Danials  talked  so  much  one  Saturday  night 
that  his  mandibles  got  sore.  Why??  The  Counwy  air,  no 
doubt! 

Book  of  the  week:  "Why  Girls  Kermit  Suicide?"  by

Steadman  led  the  Buc's  scoring  with  9. 

In  the  second  game  the  teams  bat-

26.  Oapt.  Pierce  led  all  scorers  with  21 
points.  Thomas  aided  with  12.  Walker

main  threat  with  12  points. 
TENN.    WE&LYAN

best  interests  of  the  country. 

As  a  proud  father  of  four  typical 
American  girls,  I  am  anxious  for  the 
opportunity  to  be  given  them  to  ex- 
press their  views  through  the  ballot  on 
labor,  agriculture,  capital,  andgcern- 
nient  before  they  are  21  years  of  age. 


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." 


Christian    Endeavor 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  Christian 
Endeavor  new  officers  were  elected  for 
the  coming  semester.  They  are  as  fol- 
lows: 

President  Earl  Peters 

Vice-President  Sara  Stere 

Secretary-Treasure       Helen  Graybeal 
Song  Leader  Lillian  Holt 

Pianist  Lorine  Humphreys 

Assistant  Pianist  Virginia  Beavers 
A  very  interesting  pronram  was  led 
by  Nell  Slay.  Thelma  Amis  is  in 
charge  of  the  next  meeting  with  Pres- 
ident Burns  as  speaker  of  the  evening. 


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- 
ley, and  is  sponsored  by  Prof.  Holly. 
In  the  meetings,  world  problems  are 
presented  and  discust-ed  by  the  group. 

At  the  last  meeting  the  program  con- 
sisted of  selections  from  the  "Reader's 
Digest"  presented  by  Gene  Lynch, 
Thelma  Amis,  and  Helen  Graybeal; 
and  an  excerp  was  read  by  Prof.  Holly 
from  "Foreign  Policy  Reports".  The 
theme  was  Peace  Planning  and  Post- 
war Reconstruction. 

Thirty-  eight  books  have  been  giv- 
en to  the  club  by  the  Carnagie  Endow- 
ment Fund,  and  are  now  in  the  library 
for  student  and  faculty  use.

I  have  been  in  the  Army  Air 
Forces  since  last  year.  After  fin- 
ishing Officers  Training  School, 
Miami  Beach,  Florida,  last  fall,  I 
was  transferred  to  Boiling  Field, 
Washington,  where  more  training 
was  taken.  When  this  course  was 
finished,  I  was  assigned  to  the 
Fourth  Army  Airways  Communica-

there  did  not  last  very  long.  You

Milligan  College.  Tennessee. 

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- 
ligan. but  until  this  war  is  won.  I 
am  afraid  my  visit  will  have  to  be 
postponed. 

With  kindest  personal  regards  to 
you,  the  faculty,  and  students,  I  am. 
Sincerely  yours.

Lt.  Col.  John  McKissick 
1924 

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 
the  alumni  and  we  will  greatly  ap- 
preciate having  any  know  addresses 
sent  in   for  publication. 

John  McKissick's  letter  follows: 
11th  Station  Hospital, 
APO  860— care  Postmaster 
New  York,  N.  Y. 
December  26,   1942. 

When  my  Xmas  box  arrived  here 
from  the  States  among  the  most  wel- 
come things  that  it  contained  was  a 
copy  of  the  Buffalo  Range,  and  in 
the  Range  I  noticed  a  request  that 
the  Alumni  write  and  inform  you  as 
to  their  whereabouts.  It  just  so 
hapens  that  I  cannot  tell  you  where 
I  am,  neither  can  I  give  you  enough 
da"a  about  the  place  that  \  ou  might 
arrive  at  some  conclusion  as  to  my 
location — let  it  be  enough  to  say  that 
I  am  not  in  the  continental  limits  and 
I  am  afraid  that  we  will  have  to  let 
it  go  at  that — the  censorship  here  is 
very  strict  and  it  makes  letter  writ- 
ing very  hard  for  after  the  tacts  that 
the  censor  might  object  to  are  de- 
leted there  isn't  much  more  to  say. 

Some  facts  that  you  might  like  to 
know  are:  I  am  a  Lt.  Col.  and  have 
command  of  a  hospital  here — the 
medical  facilities  are  very  good  and 
will  compare  in  a  very  favorable 
manner  with  anything  back  at  home 
— the  hospitals  are  made  by  building 
Nissen  huts  and  joining  them  to- 
gether— it  doesn't  sound  as  though 
(Continued  on  next  column) 


(Continued  from  preceding  column) 
its  much  but  after  they  are  finished 
the/  make  real  good  hospitals — the 
health  of  the  troops  is  very  good  and 
we  are  well  fed.  well  housed  and 
ably  commanded  by  Major  General 
C.  H.  Bonesteel. 

Mr  brother  James,  who  also  at- 
tended Milligan  for  his  pre-dental 
work  was  in  the  Philippines  'at  Cor- 
regidor — he  has  not  been  heard  of 
since  the  fall  of  the  fort  and  we  fear 
that  he  may  have  been  lost  —  either 
that  or  he  is  a  Jap  prisoner — he  was 
a  captain  in  the  Dental  Corps. 

Sometime  ago  I  wrote  the  Buffalo 
Range,  giving  them  my  location  and 
telling  quite  a  bit  about  the  country 
(that  was  before  the  ban  was  put 
one  also  enclosing  my  dollar  Dui  i 
never  heard  anything  from  it  so  I 
concluded  that  the  boat  carrying  the 
letter  had  not  arrived  at  the  home 
port  —  I  also  wrote  a  letter  to  Prof. 
Cochrane  in  the  same  mail  and  never 
heard  from  him. 

You  will  please  enter  my  name  on 
your  subscription  list  and  the  dollar 
will  be  sent  to  you  by  my  wife — we 
vo  not  have  American  money  here. — 
had  to  turn  it  all  in  sometime  ago — I 
can  assure  you  that  the  Buffalo 
Range  will  have  increased  its  cir- 
culation area  by  a  good  distance, by 
the  time  it  reaches  me  here — I  have 
some  faint  hopes  that  perhaps  I 
might  be  allowed  to  return  to  the 
states  and  should  I  do  so  I  certainly 
intend  to  make  a  visit  to  the  Col- 
lege— I  have  not  been  there  in  some 
15  years — at  such  time  I  will  see  you 
— thanking  you  in  advance  and 
wishing  Milligan  College  every  good 
thing  for  the  coming  year,  I  am,

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. 


Isabelle   G.    Kegley 

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

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.

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!

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.

THE  BUFFALO  RANGE 


A  C  Leon  A.  Cox 

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 
(Continued  on  next  column) 


(Continued  from  preceding  column) 
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, 
A/C  LEON  A,  COX. 


Lee  Varnell 

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

the  outstanding  athletes  in  various 
sports  were  chosen  to  room  together. 
Among  my  roommates  were  Bob

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

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. 

The  attached  check  is  for  a  one 
year  subscription  to  the  Buffalo

Yours  for  Victory,

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 
HOMECOMING 

For  most  of  us  here'  at  "Milligan

ten. This  week  we  have  all  been 
working  like  mad  to  get  prepared 
to,  greet  the  alumni  and  to  show 
them  that  Milligan  is  better  than

many  states  and  to  many  people, 
and  we  have  talked  about  it.  Now 
even  as-it  draws  nearer  and  narrer 
we  see  President  Elliott  and  t'.e 
faculty  members  giving  last  miiute 
instructions  to  "the  Green  jorn

Mrs.  Lynn  Entertains 

On   October   18,   at  our  regular 
issembly  period  we  were  fortunate 
n  having  Co  ,our.  guest,  the  musi- 
cian, Mrs.  LeRoy  Linn, ..who  was 
assisting  Professor  Fred  W..  Smith 
in  his  annual  meeting  in  Elizabeth- 
ton.     Mrs.  Lynn  gave  us  several 
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.

of  deepening  your  own  spiritual 
life,  cf  learning  to  live,  ever 
thoughtful  of  others,  of  preparing 
your  lives  to  be  of  greater  service 
to  the  King  of  Kings  and  the  Lord 
cf  Lords. 

We  welcome  you  to  a  college 
campus  that  has  been  known 
through  the  years  as  a  friendly

that  you  will  help  to  maintain  and 
develop  that  rame  friendly  spirit 
by  being  a  good  friend  to  all.  The

Christian  Service  Club 

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. 

At  the  business  meeting  Bob 
Elliott,  Ellen  Austin,  and  Jim 
Messimer  were  appointed  to  serve 
as  the  nominating  committee  to 
select  candidates  who  will  be  el- 
igible to  hold  the  executive  posi- 
tions for  the  new  school  year.  It 
was  decided  that  the  election  will 
be  held  at  the  n»xt  meeting,  Sen-

Under  the  able  guidance  of  Pro-

in  his  chosen  profession.  The 
business  and  programs  of  the  club 
are  held  in  closed  meetings.  Al- 
though the  club's  main  purpose  is 
one  of  instruction,  the  recreation

THE  STAMPEDE 


Page  3 


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- 
mation of  a  Milligan  College  band 
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.

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

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).

A  Buffalo  Heard  . . . 

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 
o  center  around  third  finger,  left 
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. 

The  worr'ed  look  on  Monterey's 
f?ce  h<>s  disapDeared  since  the  ar- 
rival of  a  sweet  little  blonde  from 
Wh'tesbi'rg.  Ky. 

Wonder  'f  Poul  Griz  has  f'nally 
fonnrt  a  freshman  girl  to  his  li- 
king? 

Prof.  Hyder  designed  a  rpecial 
rolling  pin  fo^  Mrs.  Wood.  She 
?-■"?  the  '•nrve  in  the  middle  just 
llts  the  Dean's  head.

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

Messimer  (sophomore),  were  re-

bership in  the  Eta  Lamba  cast  of

honorary  dramatic  fraternity.  Both

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.

MILLIGAN 
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. 
Lorenz,  dramatic  director.

that  the  guys  and  gals  have  made 
considerable  progress  in  only  a 
month's  time.

because  it  has  so  many  cells."

Ellen  Austin's  new  theme  song: 
"Only  a  Rose." 

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

Harvey  Powell  was  overheard  re-

circulatory,  respiratory  and  dormi-

will between  the  north  and  the 
south. 

Mary  Evans  has  discovered  that

Spanish  the  practical  way;  with 
two  instructors  he  should  learn  in 
half  the  time. 

It's  most  inconsiderate  of  Byron 
to  constantly  crowd  Mildred  into 
one  little  corner  of  that  bench. 

Paul  Griz  was  mighty  sympathetic 
during   "Monterey's  obsence. 

The  young  women  in  freshman 
Chemistry  would  like  to  know  just 
why  Hilda  May  wears  red  on  Mon- 
day and  Wednesday. 

Lili  Dache  would  probably  pay 
top  prices  for  Billie's  hairnet  ideas. 

Think  you  can  learn  to  cook  like 
mother,  Rosie? 

Next  time,  Sherman,  why  don't 
you  just  pull  up  an  extra  chair. 
It  would  be  saving  so  much  heart- 
ache later. 

Witnesses  at  the  Taylor-Goddard 
wedding  say  the  suspense  during 
that   kiss  was  breath-taking. 


Wonder  if  Dottie  and  Ellen  would 
part  with  the  pie  recipe  that  re- 
quires four  cooks? 

Holsclaw,  did  you  attract  the  at- 
tention of  any  good-looking  girls 
after  first  aid  was  administered  to 
your  facial  wounds? 

Betty  Williams  is  collecting  hor-

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.

New  Books  in  Library 

Novels  and  Technical  Books  Added;  Atomic 
Bomb  Among  Many  Sbujects  Covered 

Miss  Gretchen  Smith,  college  librarian,  announced  that  37 
volumes  have  been  received  as  a  gift  from  Dr.  I.  T.  Green  of 
Bethany  College.  The  books  deal  mostly  with  theology. 

Also    received    were    four 


were    tour    new 
volumes   of  current  literature: 

Modern  Man  Is  Obsolete,  by 
Norman  Cousins. 

Animal  Farm,  by  Orwell. 

The  Screwtape  Letter,  by  C.  E. 
Lewis. 

Seeing  Things,  by  John  Mason 
Brown. 

These  books  have  received  very 
favorable  reviews  from  many  crit- 
ics and  should  prove  interesting  to 
most   readers. 

Then,  too,  something  that  will 
be  very  interesting  to  those  who 
would  like  to  know  more  about 
the  atomic  bomb  and  the  Japanese 
war  is  the  arrival  of  three  reports 
of  the  United  States  Strategic 
Bombing   Survey.     They    are: 

The  Effects  of  the  Atomic  Bomb 
On  Hiroshima  and  Nagasaki. 

Japan's  Struggle  to  End  the  War.

Not  a  Bad  Loss  at  That 
Although  Milligan  wound  up  in 
the  lower  half  of  a  19  to  6  score 
with  Guilford  last  Saturday,  the 
Buffaloes  were  the  first  team  to 
cross  Guilford's  goal  line  this  sea- 
son. Rose  carried  the  ball  across 
for  Milligan's  tally!

that's  alright.

NOVEMBER    11 

November  11  is  the  deadline  for 
those  winning  pictures  to  be  dis- 
played in  the   1947  Buffalo. 

A  corps  of  judges  consisting  of 
officers  from  each  class  will  make

■"ill  receive  the  big  awards  of  $6 
first  prize,  $3  second  prize,  and  $1 
third  prize. 

But  —  there  have  not  been 
enough  pictures  turned  in  to  fill 
the  many  pages  of  the  snapshot 
sections.  We  know  you  want  them 
in  there.  We  know  you  have  taken 
them  because  never  before  have 
we  hard  the  click  of  so  many  shut- 
ters about  the  campus.  So  turn 
them    in. 

Remember,  November  11,  just 
about  two  weeks,  to  get  them  de- 
veloped and  dropped  into  the  box 
of  the  main  floor  of  the  Ad.  Build-

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 
gone  into  effect.  In  addition  to 
the  regular  hours,  the  store  will 
be  open  from  6:30  to  7:30  p.  m. 
and  from  9:00  to  10:00  p.  m.  e-  ery 
day  except  Sunday.  Special  provi- 
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. 


THE  ANNUAL  STAFF 

Elections  were  held  to  fill  the 
various  offices  of  the  1947  Annual 
Staff.  The  outcome  of  these  elec- 
tions are  as  follows:

Some  day,  if  we  are  smart,  a 
larger  proportion  of  the  American 
people  will  stop  scheming  over  how 
much  we  can  get  the  government 
to  do  for  us,  and  see  what  we  can 
do  for  the  government.  After  all, 
we  are  the  government.

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.

FINAL   FIGURES   FROM 
REGISTRAR'S  OFFICE 

According  to  the  present  rec- 
ords of  the  registrar,  there  have 
been  a  total  of  450  students  en- 
rolled in  Milligan  College  for  this 
semester.  The  breakdown,  accord- 
ing to  classes,  is  as  follows: 

Seniors 20

Sophomores  ....  . .......   130 

Freshmen 253 

Special  Students   .  . 4 

Total   450 

Of  the  450  enrolled,  13  have  with- 
drawn from  school. 

The  450th  student  to  pass

Grundy,  Va.  He  is  going  to  school 
under  the  G.  I.  Bill  and  attended 
Hampden-Sydney  College  of  Vir-

THE  STAMPEDE 


A  Buffalo  Heard  . . . 

Sherman  said  all  those  little 
short  tunnels  should  have  been 
made  into  one. 

Did  Ed  Bailey  ever  get  rid  of 
that  "old  dried-up  peanut  butter 
sandwich?" 

Wonder  if  Love  Floyd  would  ap- 
preciate Mrs.  Stollar's  interpreta- 
tion of  Closed  Study  Hour? 

Don  Pearce  and  Anne  Adams 
have  a  rather  broad  interpretation 
of  the  word  "study." 

Who  is  this  "Stump"  about 
whom  we  hear  so  much  from  Ruth 
O'Neil? 

Nancy,  just  to  be  safe,  you 
could  roll  up  your  hair  during  the 
last  fifteen  minutes  before  study 
hour  begins. 

Are  they,  or  aren't  theyNita  Mat- 
son  and  Tip? 

What  will  Pat  Edwards  and 
Eloise  Griffith  find  to  do  when 
there  are  no  tennis  matches  to 
watch? 

Peggy  Walsh  has  swapped  her 
photographer  friend  for  a  football 
player. 

Girls  who  wonder  where  the  rest 
of  the  team  are  during  social  hour 
should  consult  the  waitresses  at 
Melody   Lane. 

Did  Monterey  have  any  special 
reason  for  taking  "Care-taker"  Griz 
with  him  to  Cullowhee? 

Does  anybody  know  the  score  in 
this  Rose-Messimer  feud? 

And  then  there's  Wythe  Robin- 
son's harem. 

If  Isabelle  Matherly  is  respon- 
sible for  the  cut  over  Carl's  eye 
she   certainly   has  good  aim. 

Petrey  and  Rose — Is  their  har- 
mony purely  musical? 

Johnny  Walker's  goal  is  to  date 
every  girl  on  the  campus  by 
Thanksgiving. 

What  is  this  secret  organization 
in  Hardin  Hall  with  the  exclusive 
membership  of  three? 

Nell  Rose  Perkins  claims  to  be 
a  charter  member  of  the  Penny- 
Pearce  Club — what  are  the  require- 
ments? • 

Ethelene  Kunath  regrets  that  she 
can't  possibly  squeeze  in  a  date 
with  Pardue  before  second  semes- 
ter. 

Myrtle,  he  talked  you  into  stay- 
ing; it's  your  turn  to  talk  now. 


Who's  the  non-Milligan  beauty 
Spraker  has  been  seen  with  lately? 

Judy  Skeen  is  having  trouble  de- 
ciding between  the  magnetic  per- 
sonalities of  Mac  Peace  and  Dean 
Shufflebarger. 

Campus  steadies  Starnes  and 
Clemmens  have  to  rush  through 
.breakfast  to  meet  some  7:30  class 
each  morning. 

The  stars  in  Lois  Petit's  eyes  are 
no  doubt  a  reflection  of  that  ring. 

Prospective  Milliganite  Carl  Rob- 
ert Merritt  arrived  October  24. . . .

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.

Best  Athlete  And  Scholar  To  Be  Honored     Christian  Service 

Virgil  L.  Elliott  Trophy  To  Be  Presented 

At  End  Of  Year;  Contributed  By  Ail-American 

Some  student  at  Milligan  College  will  be  presented  with 
the  Virgil  L.  Elliott  Trophy  for  the  best  scholar  and  athlete 
of  the  year  at  the  end  of  the  second  semester. 

The  trophy  has  been  presented  which  was  given  for  the  best  ath- 
to  Milligan  College  by  Fred  Sing-  lete  and  scholar  of  the  graduating 
ton,  a  personal  friend  of  President  class. 
Elliott,  an  AU-American  football  Mr.  Sington  also  says: 
player,  who  is  an  official  of  the  "I  hope  this  will  have  the  added 
Atlanta  Paper  Company,  Atlanta,  zest  of  trying  to  get  athletes  to 
Ga.    The  award  will  be  presented   participate  in  their  class  work  to 


annually   by  college  officials. 

In  a  letter  to  President  Elliott, 
Mr.   Sington  says: 

"Probably  one  of   the   proudest 


the  "extent    of    making    a    good 
scholastic  record   as   well   as   suc- 
ceed  on   the   athletic  field." 
The  trophy  is  about  two  feet  high 


moments  I  had  while  in  college  overall  and  has  the  figure  of  a  foot- 
was  in  1930  when  I  received  a  ball  player  on  top.  Unfortunately, 
trophy  for  being  the  best  athlete  the  foot  of  the  football  figure  was 
and  scholar.  You  have  had  enough  broken  in  transit,  but  it  has  been 
experience  with  athletes  to  know  shipped  to  the  manufacturer  for 
that  90  percent  of  the  men  that  repair, 
succeed  in  athletics  have  to  have 
the  moral  stamina  and  intelligence 
to  do  a  good  job  off  the  athletic 
field  as  well  as  on." 

President  Elliott  shared  a  sim- 
ilar experience  with  Mr.  Sington 
when  he  received  the  Tri-State 
Award  at  Bethany  College  in  1928, 


The  Milligan  Christian  Service 
Club  has  circled  Nov.  11  as  the 
day  they  will  revert  to  the  great 
out-of-doors  and  cook  their  own 
supper  over  a  glowing  fire  as  the 
sun  nestles  itself  into  the  bosom 
of  Buffalo  Mountain.  Following 
the  feast,  members  will  seat  them- 
selves around  a  reinvigorated  fire 
and  sing  the  songs  that  have  help- 
ed to  make  Milligan  such  a  pleas- 
ant memory  to  so  many  in  years 
past. 

The  feature  attraction  on  the 
evening's  program  will  be  the  set- 
ting of  a  golden  full  harvest  moon. 

Members  will  meet  on  the  steps 

of  the  Administration  Building  at 

7:00  p.  m.     The  program  is  under 

the  direction  of  Ellen  Austin,  Dave

Buffs  Champs  In  Smoky  Mln,  Conference 

Milligan  Topples  Carson-Newman  In  Thrilling 
Game;  Buffs  Assure  Burley  Bowl  Bid 

In  sixty  minutes  of  thrilling  football  at  Kingsport  last  Sat- 
urday, the  Buffaloes  assured  Milligan  of  a  bid  to  the  Burley 
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 
more  days  of  grueling  practce  for  the  team. 

Along  with  many  others.  Duard  The  drill  team  also  turned  in  an 
Walker,  junior  fullback,  was  out-  outstanding  performance  at  the 
standing.  Walker  has  warmed  the  game  last  Saturday  between 
bench  quite  a  bit  this  season  and  halves.  They  were  handicapped  by 
last  Saturday  was  the  first  time  the  lack  of  a  band  and  the  canned 
he  had  an  opportunity  to  prove  music  which  some  misguided  soul 
himself.  Another  fullback,  Bill  played  over  the  loud  speaker  sys- 
Showalter,  played  the  brand  of  ball  tern.  Anyone  who  has  ever  march- 
ed can  tell  you  that  it  is  almost 
impossible    to     march     by     music

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! 


YOU  HAVE  JUST  THREE 
DAYS  TO  GET  YOUR  SNAP- 
SHOTS IN  FOR  THE  CONTEST 
WHICH  CLOSES  MONDAY,  NOV. 
11.  THERE  IS  PLENTY  OF  EASY 
MONEY  TO  BE  MADE  IF  YOU 
TURN  IN  A  WINNER.

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. 


A  Buffalo  Heard  . . . 

Funny  to  me  that  Walker  and 
Blondie  can't  get  together.  There 
seems  to  be  a  CROSS  between 
them. 

Brother  Johnny  Walker,  who  is 
doing  better,  is  steadily  progress- 
ing toward  the  goal.  Who  will  be 
after  Martha?  (P.  S.  If  anybody 
wants  to  know  about  Johnny,  just 
ask   Pauline.) 

We  hear  Betty  and  Strick  argue 
just  to  break  the  monotony — how 
about  it? 

Has  Vivian  Noblin  found  her 
ideal — huh? 

Terry,  who  is  it,  Spraker  or 
Starnes? 

Registrar's  assistants,  Bunton  and 
Hagan,  also  have  mutual  interests 
Lfter  office  hours. 

Why  did  Billy  Stevens  have  such 
a  long  doleful  look  Sunday? 

Has  Joe  Trent  dropped  out  of 
the  Bachelor's  Club  yet? 

Did  Bill  McConnell  ever  get  that 
screen  back  in  Hardin  Hall? 

Were  they  giving  the  locomotive 
when  "Choo-choo"  Rose  made  that 
drive   down  the  field? 

Attention,  Miss  Jones!  Fats 
Bundy  and  Dude  Williams;  Kay 
Bennett  and  Spooney;  Gwen  Green 
and  Eldon  King. 

Garvey,  who  is  the  young  den- 
tist? 

Marcia,  watch  out!  Moose  is  a 
heartbreaker — that  is.- 

Just  like  two  peas  in  a  pod. .Grif- 
fith and  Edwards — cute  couple,  no? 
Flossie,     oh,  Flossie,  where     is 
your  heart  in  Health  Class? 

Now  causing  trouble  is  not  the 
objective  of  this  column,  but  we 
have  it  from  a  very  authoritative 
source  that  it  was  not  Kenneth 
Fraley's  mother  he  took  to  the 
show.  Kenneth  is  a  member  of  one 
of  the  newest  clubs  here  on  the 
campus.

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.

Basket  Ball  Season 

Starts  This  Month! 

,  On  Saturday,  November  30th, 
Coach  Ray  Brown  will  send  his 
"cagers"  against  the  Elizabethton 
School  of  Business  in  the  opening 
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

He  answered,  "Kilroy,"  and  collect-

MILLIGAN   TENNIS 

TOURNAMENT    STILL   IN 

PROGRESS 

The  first  intramural  activity  for 
girls  this  year  is  the  tennis  tour- 
nament which  is  still  in  progress. 
It  is  too  early  to  determine  the 
winner  of  the  loser's  bracket, 
however  Carolyn  Foberts  and 
Anne  Adams  will  play  in  the  final 
game  of  the  winner's  bracket. 

The  girls  will  not  have  a  varsity 
tennis  team  but  each  participant 
in  the  tournament  will  receive 
points  toward  an  intramural  award. 

Under  the  guidance  of  Dr. 
Thompson,  we  have  seven  men 
who  are  now  practicing  for  the 
spring  tennis  matches,  which  will 
begin  the  last  of  March. 

Johnny  Walker  and  Warren 
Vest  have  joined  the  veterans  of 
last  year's  team,  who  are  Francis 
Brummit,  Bob  Showalter,  Stokes 
Caldwell,  Bob  Rice,  and  Sherman 
McCart. 

Last  year  Milligan  won  five 
games  and  lost  four.

A  Buffalo  Heard 

*By  VESTA  NOBLITT 

For  proof  that  thre  is  poison- 
ivy  on  the  football  field  just  ask 
Alice  Waters! 

Is  Joyce  Gardner's  Keyhole  In- 
formation available  for  publica- 
tion? 

Mattie  Kincheloe  and  Frances 
Umberger,  who  have  set  up  goals 
similar  to  that  of  Johnny  Walker, 
are  well  on  their  way  to  success. 

Incidentally,  is  there  anything 
the  girls  can  do  to  make  Johnny 
regret  his  statement,  "You'll  never 
catch  me  dating  any  girl  steady!" 

And  are  the  excluded  members 
of  the  Confirmed  Bachelor's  Club 
going  to  permit  a  certain  group  of 
ultra-studious  Cheek  girls  to  waste 
all  their  time  on  books?  .  .  .  For 
the  complete  list,  see  Mrs.  Francis 

Lost:  Six  jars  of  pickles  from 
Anne  Adams  room.  .  .  .  Probably 
found  at  said  weiner  roast. 

Strayed  or  stolen:  One  pie,  which 
had  nothing  to  do  with  the  weiner 
roast.  .  .  .  Last  seen  when  it  left 
Hardin  Hall  in  company  of  Paul 
Griz  and  Fred  Key.

or  was  the  joy  derived  from  some- 
thing else??? 

Notice  how  Jean  Harris  PERKS 
up  when  Bill  is  away. 

This  is  the  second  week — will 
you  have  him  back  by  the  third 
one,  Blondie? 

It  is  rumored  that  Joe  Fair  has 
decided  to  reorganize  the  "Con- 
firmed Bachelor's  Club  into  a 
"Refuge  For  the  Lonely  Hearts

Rand? 

After  the  game  in  Athens,  it  has 
been  suggested  that  Howard  Wil- 
liams and  Ed  Laws  be  added  to  our 
cheer  leading  squad. 

Joyce  Brown  is  having  trouble 
deciding  between  the  men  in  her 
life?

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. 


CHAPEL  SPEAKER 

Fred  I.  Gardner,  minister  of  the 
North  Middletown  Christian 
Church,  Ky.,  was  speaker  for 
chapel  service  Tuesday  morning. 


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 
o'clock  and  returns  immediately 
after  the  evening  services.  There 
are  no  charges. 


MOVIE    FOR   CHAPEL 

Thursday  morning  chapel  was 
given  over  to  the  showing  of  the 
technicolor  picture,  "A  Gift  of  Sci- 
ence," sponsored  by  the  Moody 
Bible  Institute.  Mr.  Presley  Gal- 
loway of  Moody  Extension  Depart- 
ment, supervised  the  showing  of 
the  film.  The  picture  was  enthu- 
siastically   received. 


Keep  that  School  Spirit  Going 


Miss  Betty  Ruth  Williams  was 
hostess  at  a  birthday  dinner  in 
her  home  Sur.day  evening.  Guests 
were:  John  Hasty,  Judy  S  k  e  e  n, 
Don  Pearce,  Martha  Noblitt,  and" 
Kenneth    Roark. 


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. 


CHOIR  MEMBER 

The  Optimist  Club  of  Johnson 
City  will  present'  a  trophy  to  the 
student  that  most  distinguishes 
himself  or  herself  in  the  Milligan 
College  Choir.  The  award,  symbol- 
izing the  accomplishment  and  dis- 
tinction of  the  chosen  student,  will 
be  presented  near  the  close  of  the 
school  year.  Prof.  Warner,  direc- 
tor of  music  at  Milligan,  will  make 
the  choice  of  the  student  selected 
for  the  honor.

A  majority  of  us  are  willing 
to  criticize  anything  or  any- 
body with  or  without  a  re- 
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- 
thing about  the  things  we 
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.

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

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

"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.

the  football  field,  or  you,  too,  may

THE  STAMPEDE

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.

tion will  be  provided  by  author- 
ized American  Red  Cross  swim- 
ming instructors.  Classes  will  be 
for  beginners  only,  and  special 
periods  have  been  arranged  for  in- 
struction and  practice.  These  pe- 
riods are  from  2:30  until  3:30 
Tuesday  through  Friday.  The  pool 
is  open  to  all  from  3:30  until  4:30

INTERESTED    IN   BOXING 

All  boys  interested  in  boxing  are 
requested  to  report  to  the  gym  to- 
night at  7:30.  It  is  important  that 
you  be  on  time. 


WOMEN    BETTER 

VOLLEY-BALL  PLAYERS 

At  7:00  p.  m.  tomorrow  evening, 
the  women  of  Milligan  will  have  an 
opportunity  to  prove  to  all  skep- 
tics, beyond  a  shadow  of  a  doubt, 
that  they  represent  the  stronger 
sex.  A  volleyball  tournament  has 
been  planned  whereby  the  women 
will  oppose  the  men.  Through  a 
series  of  eliminations,  a  winning 
team  will  emerge,  either  male  or 
female. 

All  students  are  invited  to  at- 
tend and  participate.  Bring  your 
gym  clothing  and  be  ready  to  play 
at  7:00  p.  m.  Refreshments  will 
be  served  following  the  evening's 
program. 


Keep  that  School  Spirit  Going 


MORE  WRESTLERS  NEEDED 

Professor  Boyadjis,  who  for  the 
past  week  has  been  drilling  the 
wrestling  team  on  balance  and  take- 
downs, says  more  men  are  needed 
tor  this  sport. 

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


A  Buffalo  He(a)rd 

"Penney"  for  your  thoughts, 
Hilda,   Kate,   and   Wilma! 

We  wonder  how  certain  boys  on 
this  campus  get  invited  to  every- 
thing— even  the  pajama  party  in 
Hardin  Hall. 

Kenneth  Fraley's  slogan:  "Go 
Vest-a,   Young  Man!" 

A  couple  of  couples  have  found 
a  happy  solution  to  the  crowded 
bus  problem.  For  further  details, 
see  Penney  and  Hagy — Tom,  that 
is! 

True  to  Navy  tradition,  Bob 
Hershberger  has  quite  an  interest- 
ing tatoo  on  his  chest. 

Now  that  pop  has  gone  up  to  six 
cents,  we  hear  that  Harry  has 
raised  Mary's  allowance  to  cover 
the   increase   in   price. 

WANTED:  A  pied  piper  to  re- 
move the  mice  from  the  bed  of  a 
certain    little    Cheek    girl. 

SEEN  AROUND  THE  CAMPUS: 
Dotty  Garvey  and  Carl  Edwards, 
Flossie  Walters  and  Johnny  Keffer, 
Joan  Kicklighter  and  Bill  Combs. 

Harry  Pardue  fell  hard  for  a  cer- 
tain anatomy  student  —  literally, 
that  is! 

Frances  Umberger's  interest  in  a 
day  student  isn't  too  new.  Is  this 
a  continued  "Storey,"  Frances? 

Peggy  Welsh,  Grace  Hopson,  and 
Betty  Jo  Clemens  have  been  heard 
singing,  "You  Gotta  Be  A  Football 
Hero." 

Gerena  Christian's  mind  is  cer- 
tainly running  on  the  "Wright" 
track. 

Nancy  Tipton  is  "Powelling" 
around  these   days. 

H  you've  found  any  spare  auto- 
mobile parts  lying  around  the  cam- 
pus lately,  chances  are  they  belong 
to  Miss  Mynatt.  Has  anyone  seen 
a  stray  gas  pedal? 

Rumors  have  it  that  a  counter- 
part to  the  CBC  is  soon  to  be  start- 
ed in  the  girl's  dormitory — namely, 
the  Man  Haters'  Club. 

By  the  way,  Betty  Lou,  do  you 
know   a   pilot? 


On   to   Victory — Burley  Bowl

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.

tion last  year.  Other  officers  se- 
lected we're:  Vice-chairman,  Betty

urer, Ellen  Austin,  and  program 
chairman,  Eloise  Griffith.  Plans 
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- 
falo, N.  Y.,  for  the  Thanksgiving 
holidays.  Her  family  had  planned 
to  visit  Milligan  for  Thanksgiving,  ' 
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.

THE  STAMPEDE 


Milligan  College 


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!

Burley  Bow! 


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.

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.

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.

k  Buffalo  He(a)rd 

The  Buffalo  is  at  it  again.  Snoop- 
ing 'round  and  about  on  the  cam- 
pus, in  various  nooks  and  corners 
in  the  dorms  and  elsewhere,  he's 
heard  snatches  of  Hit  Parade  num- 
bers being  whistled  and  sung  by 
students.  They  seemed  to  the  buf- 
falo to  have  a  special  significance. 
Believing  in  the  old  adage  that 
"variety  is  the  spice  of  life,"  he'd 
like  to  bring  a  few  of  these  out  in

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. 


GIRLS'  INTRAMURALS 

Basketball  is  the  present  intra- 
mural activity  for  girls.  The  in- 
tramural girls  have  been  divided

College  Players 
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- 
t'n.  James  Messimer,  Helmar 
Hodge,  and  Horace  Pettit. 

The  new  corners  to  the  college 
dramatics  at  Milligan  are  Dottie 
Gurley,  Billie  Purritt,  Julia  Lynch, 
Leroy  Wright,  Eldon  King,  Glenn 
Corley,  Joe  Hagen,  Jack  Luchart, 
2nd  Dave  Rose. 

This  is  the  play  which  was  re- 
cently made  into  a  movie  starring 
Red  Skelton.  The  movie  stuck 
to  the  general  idea  of  the  story, 
but  killed  the  subtle  humor,  which 
has  made  the  author.  George 
Kelly,   famous. 


Young  People  Conduct 
Church  Service 

The  Christian  Service  Club  of 
Milligan  College  conducted  the 
evening  service  at  the  Hopwood 
Memorial  Church  last  Sunday 
right.  In  spite  of  the  deep  snow, 
there  was  a  fine  attendance. 

Paul  Nourse,  a  ministerial  stu- 
dent, preached  his  first  sermon  us- 
ing as  a  text,  Matthew  18:3 — "Un- 
less you  mm  and  become  like  lit- 
t'e  children,  you  cannot  enter  the 
kingdom  of  heaven."  Several  mem- 
bers of  the  Christian  Service  club 
participated    in   the   service. 

The  evening  offering  was  given 
to  help  redecorate  the  Prayer 
Room  at  the  college. 


Farewell  Party 
For  Coach   Brown 

The  members  of  the  faculty  at 
Milligan  College  held  a  farewell 
party  for  Coach  and  Mrs.  Raymond 
Brown  in  the  parlors  of  Pardee 
Hall,  Monday  evening,  Februarv 
24. 

Sir.  Brown  has  been  head  coach 
at  Milligan  for  the  past  two  years 
and  Mrs.  Brown  has  been  the  col- 
lege nurse.  A  lovely  pair  of  book 
ends  were  given  the  Browns  as  a 
remembrance  gift. 

Coach  and  Mrs.  Brown  will  leave 
the  first  of  March  to  assume  sim- 
ilar duties  at  Tennessee  Polytech- 
nic Institute,  Cookeville,  Tenn.

stands:  12  wins:  5  losses;  one 
tied  in  the  two  years  coach  Brown 
has  been  here.  In  Basketball  the 
Buffs  have  won  30  and  lost  14 
games  while  in  baseball  they  have 
won  nine  and  lost  one. 

That  Professor  Lewis  wrote

MILLIGANOSOPHY 

A  bore  is  one  who  talks  about 
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- 
March  L 

The  contests  got  off  to  a  good 
start  last  night  with  the  game  be- 
tween Emory  and  Henry  and  Car 
son  Newman.  Tonight,  three  new 
teams  will  be  on  the  floor  with  a 
real  battle  of  Miligan  and  Tuscu- 
lum. The  winners  of  tonight's 
games  will  play  off  the  champion- 
ship game  Saturday  night  at  8:00 
o'clock  while  the  losers  of  Frida  y 
games  will  play  at  7  for  the  conso- 
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. 
twice  to  Tusculum  and  once  to 
Carson  Newman. 

Milligan  has  a  very  good  chance 
in  the  finals,  although  Coach 
Brown  makes  no  bones  about  Tus- 
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. 


RECORD  AT  MILLIGAN* 

For  the  first  time  in  its  history, 
Milligan  College  has  enrolled  the 
500th  student.  The  registar  has 
completed  the  registration  for  the 
spring  term  which  reached  this 
high  mark  in  students  taking  work 
at  the  college. 


COST  OF  EDUCATION 

President  Carter  Davidson  of 
Union  College,  Schenectady,  N.  Y., 
issued  a  statement  that  "it  costs 
costs  Sl.117.00  each  year  to  edu- 
cate a  student  at  Union.  This  does 
not  include  room  and  board.  Of 
this  amonut,  the  student  pays  in

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. 
— Reba  Fay  Lawson. 


Life  is  not  so  short  but  that 
there  is  always  time  enough  for 
courtesy. — Ralph  Waldo  Emerson.

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.

President  Elliott  Speaker 
At  Youth  Conference 

President  Elliott  left  yesterday 
for  a  three-day  speaking  engage- 
ment at  the  Allegheny  County, 
Pennsylvania,  Mid-Winter 
Young  Peoples,  Bible  Conference. 

The  conference,  under  the 
sponsorship  of  the  Allegheny 
County  Churches  of  Christ,  will

A  young  widow  commissioned  a 
monument  cutter  to  inscribe  on 
her  husband's  tombstone:  "My 
Sorrow  Is  More  Than  I  Can  Bear." 

Before  the  work  was  finished, 
the  widow  married  again,  and  the 
cutter  asked  her  if  she  still  wanted 
the  inscription. 

"Yes,"  she  said,  "but  just  add 
the  word  'Alone'."

Parody  of  ^Thanatopsis" 

So  live,  that  when  thy  teachers  come  to  join 
The  innumerable  grades,  which  add 
To  that  mysterious  sum,  which  each  shall  take 
On  his  report  card  to  the  silent  halls  of  home, 
Thou  go  not,  like  a  sneaking  dog  at  night, 
Scourged  to  his  kennel,  but  sustained  and  soothed 
By  flattering  grades,  approach  thy  doom 
Like  one  who  rushes  from  the  doors  of  school 
For  home,  and  lies  down  to  pleasant  dreams.

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

or  not.

Isabell  Matherley.  Carl  Matherley, 
Betty  Jo  Clemens,  and  Harry  Fine 
were    present. 


SCOOPED 

It  isn't  often  that  a  paper  gets 
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

President   Elliott's   Travels.

often  than  he  is  on  the  campus. 
He  has  just  returned  from  a  trip

be  in  the  south — Chattanooga,  At- 
lanta, Birmingham  and  parts  of 
Mississippi.  He  will  return  to  Mil-

mind  as  to  my  good  breeding.

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.

PRE— MEDS    DISCUSS 
SOCIALIZED    MEDICINE 

In  keeping  with  the  current 
trend  of  thought  in  their  own 
field,  the  members  of  the  Pre- 
Med  Club  are  stulying  the  pro- 
blem of  socialized  medicine.  Art- 
icles relating  to  this  subject  are 
being  placed  on  the  reserve  shelf 
in  the  library  for  group  reading 
and  the  topic  is  being  discussed 
at  the  club  meetings. 

A  Pre-Med  bulletin  board  has 
been  placed  in  the  hall  outside

Any  time  you  feel  indispensable, 
take  a  walk  through  the  cemetery 
and  read  the  headstones.  Those 
guys  were  pretty  hot  stuff,  too. 


First,  we  were  glad  to  see  last 
semester's  graduates,  Spraker,  Stal- 
lard,  and  Pardue  back  on  the  camp- 
us this  past  week  end.  Seems  like 
old  times. 

We  %vouldn't  worry  too  much 
about  it,  Lee.  They  say  true  love 
never  does  run  smooth. 

Bill  Smith  lost  his  last  fight  but 
apparently  has  won  back  his  first 
girl. 

We  wonder  why  Ruth  O'Neill 
was  elated  and  not  in  the  least  dis- 
turbed over  being  snowbound  up 
in  Virginia  last  week-end.  It  could- 
n't have  been  because  Joe  lives 
there  of  course 

Fizzby,  is  it  your  drums,  sax,  or 
magnetic  personality  that  gets  the 
attention  of  the  wemale  populace 
on  the  campus?  And  incidentally, 
we  are  still  wondering  about  that 
handkerchief. . . 

Pardon  us,  Betty  Lou,  but  your 
halo  is  definitely  slipping. 

Dame  Rumor  has  it  that  one  Jim 
Rudder  is  carrying  the  torch  for 
glamor  gal,  Francis  Umberger. 

We'd  like  to  see  more  of  this 
Marcelline  Riddle  and  Glen  Hagy 
affair. 

A  "newsome"  twosome  on  the 
campus-  Rod  Pope  and  Vivian  Xob- 

Aiice,  which  do  you  consider  the 
more  important,  trig  or  boys? 

lin. 

Lois  Pettit  has  developed  a  sud- 
den liking  for  music.  Or,  on  second 
thought,  perhaps  her  interest  is 
the  guitar  player. 

Bruse,  someone  asked  us  to  ask 
you  if  you  are  subject  to  headaches? 

Tying  a  bow  tie  is  an  intricate 
piece  of  work,  isn't  it  Kenneth? 

Careful  fellows!  Dr.  Lorenz  is 
teaching  Anne  Adams  to  wink. .  .  . 
and  what  a  wink  it  is. 

Joe  Farry  finally  agreed  with 
Prof.  Boyadjis. 

Bob  Rhea  certainly  isn't  letting 
the  moss  gather  on  his  stone.  Is  he 
Miss  Ward? 

Wonder  why  all  the  long  faces 
arourffi  the  boys'  dorms  last  week? 
Could  it  be  that  the  checks  had  not 
arrived?

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.

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.

Mr.  and  Mrs.  J.  W.  Abbott  of 
Johrnon  City  announce  the  birth 
of  a  daughter,  Revonda  Ann 
Abboit,  on  March  6.  Mother, 
daughter,  and  J.'..,  a  senior  at 
Milligan.  all  cVang  fine.  This 
makes    three   for   John. 

Despite  much  hush-hush  we  gath- 
er that  Jimmie  Brooks,  "Hatless" 
Joe  Fair,  Spooney  Schultz,  and 
and  Lefty  Fraley  are  planning  a 
large  evening's  entertainment  for 
the  student  body  sometime  in  April. 
The  purpose  is  to  raise  money  for 
the  senior  class.  It  seems  that  this 
year's  seniors  have  planned  quite  a 
presentation  to  enshrine  them- 
selves in  the  hearts  of  posterity 
"When   the   class   of   '47   is  gone." 


The  Recreation  Committee, 
r.ost  maligned  and  least  support- 
ed organization  on  the  campus, 
is  still  plugging  away.  Every 
Monday  morning  at  ten  o'clock, 
the  ever  optimistic  members  meet 
on  the  third  floor  of  the  Admin- 
istration Building  to  try  some- 
thing in  the  way  of  student  en- 
tertainment Despite  the  fact 
that  ninety  per  cent  of  the  student 
body  leaves  for  somewhere  every 
week-end,  the  committee  tries  to 
furnish  some  kind  of  program 
for  those  remaining  on  the  cam- 
pus. 


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.

The  program  consists  of  sacred 
and  popular  numbers  including 
Gretchaninoffs  "The  Lord's  Pray- 
er" and  the  Sullivan — Waring  ar- 
rangement of  "Onward  Christian 
Soldiers."  Professor  Warner  also 
has  his  own  popular  arrangement

"Old    Black   Joe."

For  \  -12  Program 

Presentation  of  a  plaque  in 
recognition  of  the  Navy  V-12 
unit  maintained  at  MPifpaT1  Col- 
lege was  made  in  chapel  Tues- 
day on  behalf  of  the  Navy  De- 
partment by  Lieutenant  Com- 
mander W.  B.  Brown,  Assistant 
District  Director  of  Naval  Re- 
serve, Knoxville. 

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. 

The  inscription  on  the  plaque 
reads:  This  mark  of  commen-

DEAR  SIS, 

Thanks  for  the  nice  big  lettur  tellin  us  all  about  Milligan  a  little  cold  up  in  New  Jersey.

Fred's    answer    to    the    question 

about  how  he  likes  Milligan  was 

very    interesting.      He    said,    "I 

like  it.    It  makes  me  mad  when 

people     gripe     about     the     fine 

school  we  have." 

So  you  see,  friends,  you  don't 

have     to    travel    all     over    the 

country  or  even  out  of  the  Stat-

THE    STAMPEDE 


PAGE  THREE 


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,

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.

Music  Hath 
Its  Charms 


Men's  Tennis 
Tournament  Ends 


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 
of    the    class    of    1346.     In    the 


spring  at  the  installation  of  the 
class  of  1947  into  the  Alumni 
Association,  their  representative 
will  be  announced. 

The  officers  of  the  Board  of 
Directors  of  the  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation are:  J.  Henry  Kegley 
of  Bristol,  president;  Dr.  Harlis 
O.  Boiling  of  Kingsport,  vice- 
president;  Mrs.  Carsie  Hyder 
Lodter  of  Milligan  College, 
Secretary. 

It  is  the  plan  of  the  Associa- 
tion that  a  Milligan  Club  be 
organized  in  every  community 
where  there  are  several  Milligan 
Alumni.  This  club  will  have 
its  own  officers  and  will  meet 
frequently  for  business  and 
social  get-togethers. 

Another  chief  project  of  the 
Association  is  to  publish  THE 
BUFFALO  RANGE  periodicalK-. 
THE  BUFFALO  RANGE  is  the 
alumni  news  bulletin  and  gets

The  winners  of  the  Who's  Who 
contest  were  announced  last 
week  by  the  staff  of  "The  Buf- 
falo," Milligan  College  yearbook. 
The  holders  of  the  various  titles 
will  be  featured  in  a  special 
section  of  the  publication. 

A  married  couple  took  some 
of  the  honors  when  -Mary  and 
Harry  Fine  were  elected  the 
most  popular  couple  on  the 
campus. 

Lois  Neeley  captured  the  title 
of  the  most  beautiful-  girl  and 
Jim  Rose  holds  the  honor  of  be- 
ing the  most  handsome  boy. 
Those  heading  the  list'  with  the 
best  personalities  were  Betty 
Ruth  Williams  and  Lerov 
Wright,  On  the  studious  side 
we  have  Martha  Noblitt  and 
Henry  Evans. 

Betty  Lou  Stratton  now  holds 
the  title  of  the  most  popular  girl 
and  Bob  Elliott  is  the  most  popu- 
lar boy.  Duard  Walker  takes 
some  of  the  limelight  by  being 
elected  the  most  athletic  boy 
and  Ruth  O'Neil  is  now  offi- 
cially the  most  athletic  gal. 

The  balloting  was  rounded  out 
by  the  election  of  Nannette  Tip- 
ton as  the  most  versatile  girl  and 
John,  "Fizzby"  Harris  the  most 
versatile   boy.

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. 

BrLL  CARICO 


Milligan  College,  Tennessee 
November  5.  1947 
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."

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     STAMPEDE 


PAGE  THREE 


THE  Buffalo 

He(a)rd 

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, 
or  you're  likely  to  forfeit  your 
title  as  "Most  Eligible  Bachelor 
on  Campus"!

If  Milligan  is  to  have  a  team 
in  any  sport  that  will  put  out 
that  extra  effort  when  the  go- 
ing is  tough,  every  student  at 
Milligan  must  have  a  positive 
attitude  toward  all  our  athletic 
events.  We  must  think  of  win- 
ning and  act  as  though  we  will 
win.  Suport  your  team  and

at  every  game.  ,  ■

ing, November  18th.

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. 

"More  things  are  wrought  by 
prayer  than  this  world  dreams 
of."

The  crowning  of  Queen  Naomi 
Godsey,  attended  by  her  court, 
Carolyn  Perkins  and  Alice  Wal- 
ters, highlighted  the  gala  Hal- 
loween Party  staged  in  the  gym 
October  30. 

"Sleepy  Time  Gal"  Stratton 
and  "Frank  Buck"  Corlew  took 
all  honors  for  originality  in  the 
costume    department. 

There  has  been  much  talk 
about  the  shows  put  on  by  the 
various  campus  clubs.  Christian 
Service  and  Bible  Major  Clubs 
combined  to  present  "The  En- 
chanted Castle"  which  was 
nothing  less  than  a  house  of 
horrors.  The  Business  Club  add- 
ed to  the  feeling  of  weirdness 
by  presenting  a  female  who  ate 
and  slept  under  water. 

Predictions  of  the  future  were 
taken  care  of  by  the  Physical 
Education  Club's  "Talking 
Table"  and  "Madame  Eula  Find 
Out"  sponsored  by  the  Milligan 
College  Players. 

On  the  lighter  side  we  had 
Danny  Kaye  and  The  Ink  Spots, 
who  were  signed  by  the  Band 
for  a  one  night  stand.  Few  will 
soon  forget  Madame  Fiser  and 
her  49  "M  Belles"  sponsored  by 
the  "M"  Club. 

The  "Fishing  Allowed"  sign 
of  the  Home  Ec.  Club  inspired 
many  anglers  to  try  their  luck. 

The  Pre-Med's  hot-dog  stand 
was  a  welcome  sight  to  many. 

The  newly  organized  Girls' 
Council  made  the  hit  of  the 
evening  with  their  refreshments 
served  after  the  coronation 
ceremonies. 


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.

Regarding  Your 
Subsistance  Checks 

A  Veterans  Administraton  re- 
presentative will  be  in  Dean 
Cochrane's  office  Monday  from 
8:00  A.  M.  to  12:30  P.  M.  to

that  this  will  become  a  reality

Joe  Farry,  the  stellar  Buff 
right  guard,  came  back  as  a

the  hospital  now  and  walking 
around  on  crutches.  We  hope 
that  Joe  will  be  able  to  resume 
his  place  again  soon. 

I  guess  an  announcer  could 
be  given  some  credit  for  the 
winning  of  the  Stetson  game.

stand  up  and  give  little  Milligan 
a  great'Big  hand,  the  Herd  saw 
red  and  from  then  on  it  was  the 
Buffs  ball  game. 

Milligan  fans  really  showed 
their  "Spirit"  at  the  Carson- 
Newman  game,  when  a  jam- 
packed  bus  and  several  car 
loads  of  fans  made  the  trip. 
The.  fans  never  let  up  on  the 
noise  the  whole  ball  game.  We're 
proud  of  the  Buffs  even  though 
they    lost. 

Glad  to  see  the  fine  participa- 
tion on  the.  part  of  the  gals  in 
really  putting  over  their  intra- 
mural program  with  a  bang! 
Judy  Slceen  and  Carolyn  Walker 
seem  to  be  the  foremost  femin- 
ine promoters  of  these  contests. 

Fans  have  already  been  talk- 
ing about  a  re-match  with  Car- 
son-Newman in  the  Burley  Bowl. 
As  much  as  the  Buffs  would  like

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 
for  Homecoming  Que  en. 
Carolyn  Walker,  not  Wilma 
Chappell,  was  the  Senior 
nominee.  Our  apologies  to 
both  young  ladies, 


Carolyn  Walker  Named 
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. 


Notice  To  Club  Reporters 
All  class  and  club  reporters 
are  asked  to  turn  in  news  on 
their  'organizations  to  poe 
Hagan  or  any  "Stampede" 
Staff  member  immediately  A 
mistake  was  made  in  the  last 
issue  because  the  class  report- 
ers failed  to  turn  in  import- 
ant information  on  time.

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.

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."

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."

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. 

— E.  C.L. 


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

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."

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.

MILLIGAN  COLLEGE,  TENN. 
December,  1947 

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, 
SIS 


Again' I  creep  out  of  my  un- 
conspicuous  corner  for  my  last 
notorious  fling  before  Chris- 
mas  Eve  draws  nigh  when  even 
the  mice  are  not  to  be  stirring. 
Miscellany  rather  than  mono- 
tony shall  be  the  keynote  of  to- 
day's   column. 

Do  You  Remember 

When  Johnnie  Walker  didn't 
have*a  crew  cut? 

When  everyone  called  Leslie 
Shurgett  "Sugar?" 

When  Betty  Ruth  didn't  have 
John  and  vice-versa? 

When  Betty  Jo  Grubbs  made 
an  ill-famed  attempt  to  make 
her  debut  at  a  basketball  game 
last  year  via  the  ceiling  of  the 
gym? 

When  Pardee  Hall  was  a  girls' 
dorm? 

When  you  ever  got  enough 
sleep? 

Can  You  Imagine? 

"Senator"  in  a  grass  -skirt? 

Ham  and  eggs  for  breakfast 
in  the  cafeteria? 

Kyle  Middleton  short  and 
chubby? 

Ernst  Oaks  with  a  black 
wig? 

Miss  Mynatt,  a  psychology 
student  out  at  State? 

Miss  Smith  in  a  dentist's 
chair? 

Hoyt  Dees  as  a  boy  soprano? 

Harry  Fine  as  a  ballet  dancer? 

Janie  "Happy"  instead  of 
"Cross?" 

Naomi  without  her  laugh? 

Ed  Bailey  with  a  wife  and 
family? 

Spraker  as  a  hen  pecked  hus- 
band?

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."

THE     STAMPEDE

Buffalo  He(A)rd 

Not  only  have  Prof.  Marsh 
and  Prof.  Long  been  traversing 
the  wilds  of  the  Carolinas  deer 
hunting,  but  one  of  our  own, 
Bob  Pauley,  has  also  been  "dear" 
hunting,  if  unsuccessfully. 

We've  come  to  a  definite 
conclusion  about  Mattiel  She's 
fickle.'  She  passed  up  a  date 
with  Casanova  Ed  Bailey  to 
take  in  a  movie  with  Bobby  Jor- 
dan just  last  week. 

Kuth  O'Neill  is  still  starry- 
eyed  over  her  weekend  trip  to 
Lexington  to  visit  Joe  up  at 
V.  M.  I. 

We  didn't  know  Cliff  Winters 
had  a  "big"  brother  til  we  ran 
into  Peg  Stock  in  Melody  Lane 
a  couple  of  nights  agcf  with 
Mack  in  tow.  In  the  same  booth 
we  discovered  France  Umberger 
with  one  Ralph  Frye  who  duly 
informs  us  that  he's  no  kin  to 
Harry. 

A  chance  remark  from  De- 
lores  Cooke  makes  us  wonder 
just  what  she  expects  from  a 
basketball  game.  "It  was  dis- 
appointing, wasn't  it?"  she  ask- 
ed us.  "Homer  was  hardly  in 
the  game  at  all!" 

Little  Alice  Walters  was  ask 
ed  in  Psychology  class  Tuesday 
what  her  chief  interest  was.  We 
thought  she'd  say  Maurice,  but 
she  insisted  that  "English"  is 
her  pride  and  joy. 

And  while  we're  on  the  sub- 
ject, Bill  Combs'  pride  is  JOY. 

June  Porter  found  herself 
neatly  fouled  up  when  two 
dates  arrived  at  Hardin  Hall 
simultaneously  last  week  to 
take  her  out. 

Bill  Allen,  of  Buffalo  grid- 
iron fame,  is  being  most  atten- 
tive to  our  own  Iowa  songbird, 
Grade  Lang. 

Circumstances  Lead  us  to  be- 
lieve  that  Bobby  Gutschalk  may 
have  interests  outside  of  Milli- 
'  gan.  She  returned  from  Bristol 
Sunday  night  smiling  happily 
and  wearing  a  lovely  crysanthe- 
mum. 

And  there's  one  Hardin  girl 
who  should  endeavor  to  keep 
her  feet  on  the  ground  when 
she  visits  Jug's  Metropolis.  She's 
quite  likely  to  break  a  leg  falling 
over  one  of  the  heaters. 

Joe  Crain  is  totin'  a  torch  for 
Janie  Cross.  He  also  toted  a 
shiny  red  apple  up  to  Hardin 
Hall  one  chill  night  last  week 
to  prove  his  affection.  Joe,  we 
were  under  the  impression  that 
it  was  "an  apple  for  the  teach* 
ed!"  What  is  Janie  teaching 
you? 

"Ground  —  Rammer"  Oakes' 
star  pupil,  Miram  Rodrigues, 
plans  teaching  school  when  she 
completes  her  "education."  (She 
only  taking  four  classes  in  edu- 
cation.) But  she's  having  more 
than  a  little  trouble  in  selecting 
Is  subject  to  teach.  We  exhaust- 
ed the  list —  English,  History, 
Math — and  what  have  you,  but 
Mariam's  only  answer  to  each 
was,  "No-o-o-o-oo!  I  don't  like 
eet."  We  finally  decided  that 
Spanish  would  be  a  fitting 
subject.

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.

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. 

Collegiates  are  an  odd  people. 
They  have  made  a  fine  art  of 
inconsistancy,  yet,  somehow, 
they  are  likeable.

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.

Patience,  as  I  can  testify,  is 
but  one  of  the  virtures  you've

confronted  by  a  farmer  carrying 
a  sack  of  oranges  which  he 
wanted  to  telegraph  across 
country  to  his  soldier  son.  I 
explained  that  you  just  couldn't 
do  such  a  thing.  An  hour  later 
he  returned  with  a  jug  full  of 
orange-juice. 

"Thought  mabe  'twould  be

The  owner  was  dozing  in  the 
shade  that  was  slowly  creeping 
across  the  porch  floor.  I  called 
to  ask  what  time  it  was. 

He  stirred,  cocked  one  eye  to 
the  floor,  and  drawled,  "Oh, 
about  fo'  planks  'till  dinner- 
time."— True.

Last  year  the  Christian  Ser-

students  and  other  Christian 
youth  to  various  churches  and 
institutions  in  this  area  to  con- 
duct services  of  worship.  Such 
teams  are  going  out  regularly 
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 
fourth  Sundays),  under  the  lead- 
ership of  Miss  Ellen  Austin,  to 
lead  services  at  the  Soldiers' 
Home  in  Johnson  City.

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.

THE  STAMPEDE 


FRIDAY,    DECEMBER    12,    1947 


Basketball  In  Full 
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-

(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. 
T.  S.  C;  center,  Harold  Koffman 
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.

Christmas 

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. 


Thanks  to  the  open  house  in    one  asking  for  recommendation

Council,  Tuesday  the  Christmas

10  decorations  to  remind  us  that 


)f  a  student  will  be  given  the

them.

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.

At  press  time,  Ed  was  away 
from  school  on  the  Choir  trip 
so  he  had  someone  else  to  take 
over  his  column  this  issue.  In 
other  words,  he  isn't  respon- 
sible for  what  is  said  here  this 
time. 

It  sure  is  good  to  hear  that 
Miiligan  and  East  Term.  State 
have  gotten  together  again. 
Much  credit  is  due  to  the  peo- 
ple in  both  schools  who  made 
this  possible.  It  is  up  to  us 
to  see  that  good  sportsmanship 
is  applied  not  only  on  the  athle- 
tic field  but  in  the  stands  as 
welL  Just  because  we  are  play- 
ing a  team  near  to  us  is  no 
resaon  to  lower  oux  standards 
as  good  sports. 

The  Boys'  Intramural  basket- 
ball has  drawn  much  campus  in- 
terest. The  competition  is  hot 
on  all  sides.  If  Coach  Yancey 
runs  short  of  material,  I  think 
he  will  be  able  to  find  plenty 
on  the  teams  that  are  playing 
nightly  in  the  gym. 

In  a  couple  of  weeks  the  cleats 
snd  shoulderpads  will  be  put 
eway  until  next  fall.  There  axe 
some  of  the  many  bowl  games 
that  promise  to  be  thrillers. 
When  Alabama's  Harry  Gilmer 
msets  Bcbby  Lane  from  Texas 
in  the  Sugar  Bowl,  the  air  ought 
to  be  full  of  football.  Penn 
State  and  SMU  go  to  the  Cotton 
Bowl  with  undefeated  records. 
These  are  just  the  ones  closest 
to  us. 

The  old  school  spirit  that  was 
so  hard  to  pep  up  at  the  first  of 
the  year  is  plenty  active  now.

Tho  freshman  hardwood  squad 
has  been  getting  a  pretty  good 
workout.  By  next  year  the 
boys  will  have  plenty  of  ex- 
perience under  their  belts.  Their 
playing  is  a  little  ragged  and 
the  ball  goes  wild  a  lot  of  the 
time,  but  as  the  year  goes  on 
they  will  sharpen  up  their  old 
shooting  eyes  and  be  ready  for 
some  first  class  playing  next 
year.

Buffs  52-34 

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 
period.

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. 

MILLIGAN  COLLEGE,  TENN. 
January  24,  1948 

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

STAMPEDE  SPORTS 


The  Buffs  have  really  got  hot 
on  the  hardwood  and  so  far  are 
easily  in  the  lead  of  the  Smoky 
Mountain  Conference.  One 
thing  that  I  have  noticed  is  the 
fact  that  in  the  starting  lineup, 
usually  every  game,  everyman 
scores.  This  just  goes  to  show 
that  the  Buff's  believe  in  team- 
work. 

Milligan  might  easily  be  turn- 
ed into  a  winter  sports  carnival 
meeting  place  if  this  snow  keeps 
coming  down  at  the  rate  it  is. 
Let's  get  the  skis  and  ice  skates 
and  take  off  down  the  "Milli- 
gan slopes." 

Currently  the  University  of 
Kentucky  is  burning  up  the 
hardwood  with  another  out- 
standing basketball  team. 
Adolph  Rupp  is  out  front  again 
in  the  race  for  coach  of  the 
year.  But  East  Tennesse  has  an 
"Adolph  Rupp"  of  their  own  in 
John  Treadway,  basketball  coach 
of  Happy  Valley  High  School. 
Consistently  Happy's  teams 
have  gone  to  the  state  tourna- 
ment where  they  made  an  ex- 
cellent showing.  Milligan  has 
several  of  these  outstanding 
players  in  Kenny  Hyder,  Carl 
Gouge,    and   Carl  Shepherd. 

The  guys  and  gals  are  still 
keeping  their  Intramural  Pro-

4  o'clock  you  can  see  the  lassie

basketball  games  are  really 
educational! 

A  few  more  could  turn  out  at 
the  boys  intramural  games  also. 
Most  of  the  basketball  played 
is  definitely  not  of  the  inferior 
type,  but  rather  pretty  good 
ball.  Come  out  and  cheer  your

State  Weeps  While  Milligan 


Celebrates  59-40  Victroy 

If  there  was  any  controversy  as  to  which  has  the  better 
team,  State  or  Milligan,  it  was  surely  cleared  up  last  Monday 
night  at  the  Science  Hill  gymnasium  when  the  Buffs  decisively 
trounced    State's    Bucs   59    to   40.      The    splendid    sportsmanship 

shown  by  the  players  and  fans 

of  both  teams  however,  .was  a 
good  indication  that  there  will 
be  no  regrets  of  renewing  this 
hot  rivalry. 

"An  impartial  spectator  got 
the  feeling  that  the  game  was 
somewhat  of  secondary  import- 
ance to  the  fact  that  once  again 
— after  a  lapse  of  two  years — 
the  two  local  colleges  came  to-

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.

"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.

Centerville,  U.  S.  A. 
February  6,  1948 
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

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

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

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.

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 
are  bad  breaks,  a  good  sport  if 
you  are  the  victim? 

Have  you  a  ready  laugh  for 
fun? 

If  all  this  sounds  too  stiff

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,

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.

On  Saturday  evening,  Novem-

Party  was  given  in  the  gymnas-

this  annual  party  had  its  be- 
ginning in  October  1920.  The 
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. 
Cheek  Activity  Building  for  the 
reason  that  the  Parlors  of  Pardee 
were  not  large  enough  to  ac-

evil.  And  wouldest  thou  have 
no  fear  of  the  power?  Do  that 
which  is  good,  and  thou  shalt

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.

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.

Coach  Sid 
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!

May  the  true  Milligan  spirit 
of  "Character  Biulding  First  of 
All"  grow  and  develop  in  us  all, 
as  Milligan  continues  to  increase 
from  year  to  year. 


LMU  Checks  Buffs 

The  Mililgan  quint  ended  a 
long  winning  streak  last  Tues- 
day when  they  bowed  to  the 
L.  M.  U.  five  in  a  game  that 
kept  the  capacity  crowd  tence 
from  the  tip-off  to  the  closing 
whistle  which  saw  the  Buffs 
trailing  by  two  points. 

The  66-64  loss  has  fired  the 
team  with  greater  determination 
to  wind  up  the  season  with  the 
Smokey  Mountain  Conference 
championship. 

Points  by  players  and  other

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.

THE 
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. 

By  direction  of  ARTHUR   KELSEY,  your  friendly 
undertaker,  the  last  man  to  let  you  down.

Wednesday,  Feb.  25,  1948 
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.

CHAPEL  CHIMES 

RALPH   D.   McLEAN 


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).

for  this  season's  track  team. 
Sprinters,  Milers,  hurdlers,  relay 
men, — all,  have  turned  out  to 
represent  Milligan  on  the  cin- 
ders. With  less  than  three 
weeks  preparation  for  the  first

Girls'  Intramurals 

Cheek,  gym  was  the  scene  of 
activity  for  the  Milligan  girl 
athletes,  Wednesday  night.  It 
was  a  basketball  contest  be- 
tween Hardin  girls  and  Cheek 
girls.  The  Hardin  girls  were  in 
the  lead  throughout  the  game, 
but  during  the  first  half  Cheek 
was  close  on  their  back.  In  the 
second  half  Hardin  took  the  lead 
and  came  out  with  a'  victory 
41-26. 

Madeline  Fletcher  starred  for

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-

Lebanon,  Term.,  Feb.  26  — 
(Special) — Tennessee  Poltechnic 
Institute  Eagles  swarmed  over 
the  Milligan  College  Buffaloes 
in  the  first  round  of  the  Volun- 
teer State  Athletic  Conference 
tournament,  burying  the  Buffs 
under  a  75  to  56  score  and  living 
up  to  the  expectation  of  tourna- 
ment favorite. 

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 
lead  after  five  minutes  of  play. 

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 
score  soaring.

Basketball  Shorts 

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     STAMPEDE 


TUESDAY.   MARCH   2.    1948 


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 

Would  you  like  a  word  of  en- 
couragement, Leroy?  Naomi 
Will  be  back. 

May  I  end  by  asking  J.  L. 
Moore's  forgiveness  for  not  hav- 
ing secured  his  approval  for  this 
column. 


STUDENTS'  STATISTICS

these  three  other  students.  We  hope 
to  interview  most  of  the  college  seniors

ington, West  Virginia. 

Miss  Betty  Rue  Lawrence  and 
her  mother  from  Lexington, 
Ky.,  recently  visited  friends 
at  Milligan.  Betty  Rue  attended 
Milligan  last  year. 

Miss  Naomi  Godsey  return- 
ed to  her  home  in  Bluefield, 
West  Virginia,  for  an  indefinite 
length  of  time  on  account  of  ill- 
ness. Being  an  active  member 
of  many  groups  on  the  campus, 
she  was  missed  very  much. 

The  faculty  members  were  en- 
tertained at  a  party  in  Pardee 
last  Friday  night.  The  party 
was  in  honor  of  Professor  War- 
ner who  was  celebrating  his 
birthday  on  that  date  and  the 
Sprakers,  who  received  a  gift 
from  the  faculty. 

One  of  our  campus  couples, 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Fine,  have 
moved  from  their  apartment  in

ODE  TO  TREASURY  DEPT. 
The  Ides  of  March  are  over, 

And  now  I  can  relax; 
I've  met  my  obligations,  - 

I've  paid  my  income  tax. 

Though  Junior  doesn't  know  it. 
He  raised  the  wherewithal; 

For  his  Piggy  Bank  was  Peter, 
And  Uncle  Sam  was  Paul.

TIP-OFF   ON   MARRIAGE 

A  minister  advertised  for  a

bell. 

"Can  you  start  the  fire  and 
have  breakfast  ready  by  seven

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 
STAMPEDE,  December  6,  1941.

Recreation  Program 
For  Veterans 

MiUigan  Students  sponsor  a 
recreation  program  every  other 
Saturday  evening  at  the  Vet- 
eran's Home,  Johnson  City.  The 
program  last  week  was  under 
the  direction  of  Ellen  Austin 
and  many  students  took  part.

Musical  Festivities 

The  Music  department  of  Mil- 
ligan,  under  the  direction  of

MiUigan  Mike 
Reorganized 

■  Sweeping  changes  have  been 
made  in  Milligan's  own  'MiUi- 
gan At  The  Mike."  Certain  of 
the  royal  loyal  who  sweated 
blood  every  Friday  grinding  out 
script  for  Saturday's  program  de-* 
cided  to  revolutionize  the  whole 
setup  and  relieve  themselves  of 
what  was  developing  into  a 
headache.  Now  the  familiar 
voices  of  the  radio  team  and  the 
meUow  melodies  of  the  MeUody 
Masters  no  longer  roam  the  air- 
waves. 

Under  the  new  plan,  a  super- 
visory board  consisting  of  Glenn 
Corlew  and  John  Harris  wiU  ap- 
point a  different  student  each 
week  to  direct  the  program. 
This  will  give  wider  student- 
body  participation  and  wiU  re- 
Ueve  the  old  team  of  work  and 
worry. 

If  you  are  inclined  towards  a 
radio  career  contact  the  Radio 
Board,  dust  off  the  typewriter, 
fUl  the  lamp  with  oil  and 
ardently  prepare  for  your  radio 
debut.    We'll  be  listening.

THE  BUFFALO 
HE(A)RD 


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.

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 
the  registrar's  office.  Only  one 
catalogue  is  alloted  each  student. 

The  new  catalogue  features 
the  new  A.  B.  degree  require- 
ments, classes  to  be  offered  next 
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.

'TENNIS" 

Milligan's  Tennis  team  will 
be  far  from  a  pushover  this 
year.  There  is  a  hot  battle  for 
the  top  six  positions  on  the 
court  and  there  is  plenty  of 
drive  and  experience  behind 
every  swing  of  the  racket. 
Among  the  many  competing  for 
a  position  are:  Meek  Robinette, 
Ronald  McCurry,  Edwin  Archer, 
Bill  Stanfield,  Paul  Williams, 
Carl  Shepherd,  Hobe  Simmons, 
Bill  Campbell,  Bill  Showalter, 
and   William    Bardon. 

As  yet  the  schedule  for  this 
year  is  tentative  and  is  as  fol-

The  new  schedule  for  this  se- 
mester's examinations  has  been 
placed  on  the  bulletin  board  on 
the  first  floor  of  the' Ad  Build- 
ing. A  new  system,  being  in- 
augurated with  these  exams, 
schedules  only  two  exams  a  day 
instead  of  the  former  three. 
Exams  will  begin  Monday,  May 
17  and  end  on  Saturday,  May 
21,  and  will  be  given  at  8:30  and 
1:00  p.  m.  This  change  has  been 
made  because  of  a  decision  that 
three  tests  in  one  day  was  too 
great  a  burden  for  both  student 
and  teacher,  as  those  of  you 
who  have  endured  this  test  of 
strength,  will  no  doubt  agree. 


M.  CLUBBERS  FEAST 

The  Milligan  M  Club  held  its 
annual  banquet  Saturday  eve- 
ning, April  17,  in  the  John  Se- 
vier Hotel,  Johnson  City.  Forty 
club  members  along  with  their 
wives,  girl-friends,  honorary 
members  and  a  few  special 
guests  made  up  the  party. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  Ray  Walker  of 
Huntington  Beach,  California, 
who  have  been  visiting  Milli- 
gan, were  honored  guests.  Mr. 
Walker  was  President  Elliott's 
high  school  track  coach. 

Mr.  George  W.  Kelly,  editor  of 
the  Johnson  City  Press-Chron- 
icle, was  the  speaker  for  the 
evening. 

Harry  Fine,  club  President, 
awarded  gold  tokens  to  the 
graduating  members.  Baseballs 
were  given  to  Bill  Carico  and 
Kermit  Tipton;  footballs  to 
Duard  Walker,  Vernon  Thomas, 
and  Bill  Showalter;  basketballs 
to  Raymond  Williams,  Carl 
Matherly,    and   Paul   Gilmer.

Annual  Festivities 
Around  May  Pole 
Next  Saturday 

Saturday,  May  8 — Queen  Car- 
olyn and  King  Duard  Walker 
will  reign  over  the  annual  Mil- 
ligan May  Day  Festival.  The 
onlookers  will  follow  "the  Rov- 
irg  Royalty"  as  they  visit  many 
sections  of  the  United  States. 
They  will  go  first  to-  New  York 
where  they  will  attend  a  piano 
recital  at  Carnegie  Hall,  then 
to  a  stage  show,  and  on  to  a 
ballet  recital  in  which  a  guest 
artist  from  the  Halloway  Reese 
Dance   Studio   will   perform. 

From  New  York  they  will 
head  for  the  West  Coast  and 
visit  a  ranch.  The  ranch  scene 
will  have  riders,  cowboys  and 
lots  of  string  music.  On  the  way 
from  the  West  to  the  South, 
'The  Royalty,"  will  encounter  a 
caravan  of  colorful  gypsies.  The 
gypsies  will  entertain  with  songs 
and  dancing.  In  the  south  they 
will  visit  a  plantation  and  meet 
pretty  southern  belles  and  their 
escorts. 

The  royal  court  will  be  made 
up  of  the  following  students: 
Andy  Montgomery,  A  1 1  e  n  e

You  wonder  if  you're  getting 
old? 

My  girl,  the  test  is  this: 
I  thought  all  the  Indians  had  been  chased  out  of  Happy  when  people  start  to  call  you 
Valley,  but  when  I  entered  Milligan  I  found  some  enrolled      "Ma'am" 
here.    At  least  some  of  the  students  act  like  Wild  Indians,  who  used  to  call  you  "Miss."

Bonnie  plans  to  teach  shorthand  and 
typing  in  high  school.  She  is  also  very 
I  much  interested  in  sewing  and  clothing 
design. 

During  her  stay  at  Milligan,  Bonnie 
has  been  employed  at  the  American 
Bemberg  Corporation  in  Elizabethton. 

Of  Milligan  College,  she  says:  "I  con- 
sidered going  to  another  college  for 
my  senior  year,  but  Milligan,  with  its 
wonderful  Christian  atmosphere,  in- 
cluding its  faculty  and  student  body 
and  lovely  campus,  called  me  back."

It  must  be  "great  sport"  to  watch  someone  bruise  himself,  cream:  everything. 

The  last  time  I  was  in  the  library  there  was  a  "Milligan  

Social  Hour"  going  on  at  the  next  table.    I  left  before  the 
Johnson  City  foundry  called  to  complain  about  the  noise. 

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 
radiator  singing,  "There  will  be  a  hot  time  in  the  old  school 
today." 

Another  quaint  habit  the  students  have  is  to  jump  from 
their  seats  and  rush  out  of  the  room  before  the  clang  of 
the  bell  dies  away.    This  situation  often  leaves  the  instruc-

Some  attend  college  for  four  years  without  realizing 
that  courtesy  and  good  manners  are  more  valuable  than 
a  degree.  Their  lack  of  consideration  for  others  only  re- 
flects on  their  parents,  and  I  don't  believe  the  student  body 
at  Milligan  would  care  to  give  the  impression  that  their 
lack  of  courtesy  originated  in  the  home.

who  never  brouse  through  the  Milligan  catalogue  will  read 

in  an  accompanying  article  about  a  course  titled  "Writing

Having  spent  nearly  a  year  on  the  Stampede,  the  staff 
realizes  what  it  is  to  'put  out'  a  paper.  Its  only  wish  is  that 
those  who  follow  in  the  coming  years  will  have  the  ad- 
vantage of  the  invaluable  instruction  that  comes  from  a 
good  course  in  journalism. 

It  is  not  the  will  of  the  staff  to  make  the  paper  anything 
other  than  a  student  publication.    Instruction  in  journal-

Horace  Pettit 


spent  all  four  years  at  Milligan 
College.  He  will  be  awarded  the 
bachelor  of  arts  degree.  Talking  about 
bachelors,  Horace  says  he's  planning 
to  be  one — but  we  doubt  that.  I  sup- 
pose you  have  heard  the  definition  of  a 
bachelor — it's  a  man  who  won't  take 
"yes"  for  an  answer,  but  Horace  seems 
to  be  SUCH  an  agreeable   person. 

He  is  president  of  the  Dramatic  Club 
and  now  is  practice  teaching  in  History 
at  Happy  Valley  High  School.  He  also 
is  a  veteran  of  World  War  II,  having 
served  in  E.  T.  O.,  three  years.  He  likes 
to  fish  and  hunt.

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.

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- 
tocratic. 


In  looking  for  somebody  to 
criticize,  don't  turn  your  head 
away  when  passing  the  mirror.

Annual  Heading  Contest 
May  4  In  Auditorium 

The  30th  annual  Annie  Lee 
Lucas  Kennedy  reading  contest 
was  held  Tuesday  evening,  May 
4  in  the  college  auditorium.  Mrs. 
Walter  Kennedy  of  Roanoke, 
Va.,  a  Milligan  College  alum- 
nus, has  sponsored  this  contest 
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- 
dershot.  Her  reading  was,  "Kid- 
die Kar  Travel."  Pies.  Virgil 
Elliott  presented  the  winners 
with  their  gifts. 

Most  of  the  participants  are 
members  of  the  college's  speech 
department  under  the  direction 
of  Dr.  Jennie  Lorenz.  Other 
participants  in  the  contest  were 
Beverly  Moore,  Irene  Parker,

and  Leroy  Wright.

hearts    and    voices    as    we   sing,

Well,  next  nine  weeks  I'll  study

And  read,  and  write  and  toil 
But,  well  I  know  before  exams 
I'll   burn  the  midnight  oil.

PRESENT 
PLAYERS 
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

Word  has  been  received  con- 
cerning the  death  of  S.  Earl 
Childers,  Bible  department  head

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. 

— Helen  Welshimer.

DEAR  SIS: 

When  are  you  comin  home?  I  can  hardly  wate  to  see  yu.  Its 
ben  so  long — way  last  Christmas  since  you  was  heer.  I've  got 
so  mutch  to  tell  ya. 

Remember  Jr.  Woodruff — (he  boy  I  tol  you  about  who  moved 
in  next  door?  Well,  he's  a  regular  moron.  I  wuz  showin  him  the 
garden  the  uther  day  and  pointed  out  one  tha  blonged  to  the 
petunia  family  and  h  ses,  "I  gess  yure  minding  it  for  them  while 
ther  away."  Can  you  imagin!  I'll  bet  hes  so  dum  he  thinks  the 
big  dipper  grew  up  from  a  little  tin  cup. 

He  wus  telling  me  the  uther  day  about  his  grandad  who  has 
ben  gettin  kinda  absent  minded  lately.  He  ses  his  grandad  put  a 
penny  in  the  mail  box  one  day,  looked  up  at  the  town  clock  and 
sed — Gosh,  I  lost  4  pounds.    And  hes  been  anoyin  every  one"  too 

■grandad,  that  is — by  going  up  and  smelling  ther  breath.  He 
sed  he  aint  looking  fer  drunkards  but  about  three  weeks  ago 
sumbudy  stole  a  peck  of  onions  off  Mandy  Well's  back  porch  and 
he  tryin  to  find  out  who  it  was.  He  ses  peepul  shud  realiz 
that  even  if  onions  is  the  secrut  to  health  you  cant  keep  it  a 
secret. 

But  its  no  secrut  that  school  isn't  quite  out  yet  fer  us  and  I 
have  sum  home  work  to  do  so  I  had  better  do  it, — after  a  little 
target  practice  with  Juniors   rifle. 

Yours  till  the  gun  salutes,

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  .   .  .

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-

sas, was  offered  the  pastorate, 
but  declined.  At  that  time  the

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,

of  1894.  He  and  Dr.  H.  R.  Gar-

A  girl  with  sparkling  blue

The  sofa  sagged  in  the  center, 
The  shades  were  pulled  just  so; 
The  family  had  retired,

There  came  a  sound  from   the

As  the  clock  was  striking  two, 
And    the    student    slammed    his

COMMENCEMENT  .  .  . 

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.

THE     STAMPEDE 


FRIDAY-  MAY   21,   1948 


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

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

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

On   The  Cinders 

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.

After  his  return  from  Paris 
this  summer,  he  plans  a  lecture

he  will  live  much  longer  than

THANKS 

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. 

Best  wishes  for  an  even  bigger  and  better  1949-50

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

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."

Christian  Service  Club 

The  Christian  Service  Club, 
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.

"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.

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

"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

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

loved southern  spirituals  and 
folksongs  to  Gershwin. 

For  twenty  years  fhis  colored

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.

INSPIRING    CHAPEL 
MESSAGE 

Mr.  Paul  Worley,  minister  of 
Munsey  Memorial  Methodist 
Church,  Johnson  City,  delivered 
a  challenging  address  to  the  stu- 
dent body  at  the  chapel  hour 
last  week.  The  message  was 
designed  to  stimulate  the  stu- 
dents to  Christian  living  and 
was  ably  presented. 

Mr.  Worley  pointed  out  in  his 
message  that  Christ  looks  at  the 
inward  man  instead  of  the  out- 
ward man  ana  that  obedience 
to  Christ  is  a  product  of  Christ- 
ian love.

this  week  that  a  class  in  New 
Testament  Prophecy  will  be  of-

According  to  Dr.  Burns,  the

tailed study  of  the  book  of  Rev- 
elation and  will  throw  light  up- 
on many  of  the  sayings  of  Jes- 
us which  have  been  grossly  mis- 
understood.

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.

"Say,  where  did  you  get  that

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. 


A  GOOD   COMEBACK 

Miss  Smith — "Give  me  a  sen-

Lois — "I'm  sorry  I  can't  marry 
you,  Bill,  but  circumstances  over 
which  I  have  nu  control  prevent 
me." 

Bill — "What   circumstances?" 

Lois — "Yours."

"So  you  desire  to  become  my 
son-in-law?"

I  can  get  out  of  it."

Two  golfers,  slicing  their 
drives  into  the  rough,  went  in 
search  of  the  balls. 

At  last  after  the  search  had 
proceeded  for  half  an  hour,  a 
sympathetic  old  lady  spoke  to

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. 


Miss    Mildred  Welshimer 

Mass  Mildred  Welshimer  be- 
gins her  second  year  as  Mil- 
ligan's Dean  of  Women.  Miss 
Welshimer,  whose  father,  P. 
H.  Welshimer  is  pastor  of  the 
First  Christian  Church,  Can- 
ton, Ohio,  was  graduated 
from  McKinley  High  School, 
Canton,  and  Hiram  College. 
For  ten  years  Miss  Welshimer 
was  the  editor  of  the  Christ- 
ian Endeavor  Quarterly.

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 
blind  to  you  freshmen-  either. 
Doris  Duff,  who  appeared  on  the 
Milligan  scene  back  in  Septem- 
ber, just  can't  seem  to  make  up 
her  mind!  At  this  point  it 
seems  that  Bill  Stanfield  and 
Bill  Woodward  are  running 
"neck  and  neck"  in  the  race  for 
her  attention.  LATE  BULLE- 
TIN: It's  Crain! 

Bob  Albertsen  rescued  "Ham. 
sel-in-distress"  Marsha  Dicken- 
son and  from  that  time  on  it 
seems  to  be  Marcie  and  Bobby 
Lee. 

Charlie  Franks'  car  has  been 
seen  quite  frequently  on  H 
Street  in  Betsy  Town.  By  coin- 
cidence Bev.  Moore  lives  on 
that  street 
to  see  her  sometime.  Chuck.

'"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

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

Although  comparatively  new 
to  Milligan's  campus,  Professor 
Sisk  has  already  earned  a  spot 
in  everyone's  heart.  There's  a 
bright  future  ahead  for  the  club, 
and  many  projects  have  been 
planned  with  the  hope  of  help-

possible. 


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."

Club  due  to  the  resignation  of 
Kenneth  Roark. 

Ken  found  it  necessary  to  give 
up  this  office  because  of  a  heavy 
schedule. 

Charles  Anderson  was  elected 
vice-president  in  Bill's  place. 
The  other  officers  are  Thelma 
G  w  i  n  ,  secretary;  and  Paul 
Semmler,  treasurer. 

Bobby  Gutschalk,  Hoyt  Dees,

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 
fair-play,  with  emphasis  on  Christian  Education. 

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:  "A  fine  time  of  the 
night  for  you  to  come  home?" 

Hubby:  "A  fine  time  of  the 
night  for  you  to  be  awake." 

Wife:  "I've  stayed  awake  for 
the  last  four  hours,  waiting  for 
you  to  come  home. 

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. 


Johnnie:  "Mamma,  what  is  a 
second-story    man? 

Mrs.  Bungler:  "Your  father 
is  one.  If  I  don't  believe  his  first 
story  he  always  tell  me  an- 
other." 


The  population  of  the  U.  S.  in 
\pril  of  this  year  was  143.3  mil- 
ion.  Of  these,  30  per  cent  are 
n  school,  and  36.2  per  cent  are 
inder  five  years  of  age.

■laimed  Jimmy. 

"And  what  did  you  do?"  con- 
inued  the  freshman. 

"I  gave  up,"  Jimmy  retorted.

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. 


A  hair  "dies"  and  comes  out 
vhen  its  follicle  in  the  skin  tak- 
*s  a  "rest." 


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

Mildred  Welshimer,  sponsor.

Martha  Rowe  will  probably

nirself  from  that  little  mess,

Kirby  McLaughlin  saw  "LOVE

And  then  there's  Hugh  "Cas- 
lova"  Bosson  who  has  been

ales  of  late. 

If  Dolores  and  Homer  should 
ime  to  a  parting  of  the  way,

And  we'd  just  like  to  mention

And  that  brings  us  down  to  a

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 
first  complete  Bible  in  English, 
Martin  Luther's  German  trans- 
lation of  the  Old  Testament,  as 
well  as  work  by  Rembrandt, 
Rubens,  Venneer,  DeHooch,  and 
other  17th  Century  painters. 

The  text  of  THE  PROTEST- 
ANT REVOLUTION  touches 
uponthe  birth  of  Protantsim, 
the  rise  of  nationalism  and  the 
development  of  commercialism 
in  England  and  the  Netherlands. 
In  the  New  World  the  Protest- 
ant Revolution  reached  the  shor- 
es of  New  England  when  the 
Pilgrims  landed  at  Plymouth  in 
1620.  But  the  early  settlers  did 
not  extend  to  others  the  religious 
liberty  they  sought  for  them- 
selves. 

The  separation  of  Church  and 
State  was  formally  guaranteed 
by  the  first  Amendment  of  the 
Constitution  of  the  United  States 
The  long  century  and  a  half  bat- 
tle echoed  in  this  Amendment: 
"Congress  shall  make  no  law 
respecting  an  establishment  of 
religion  or  prohibiting  the  free 
exercise  thereof."

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?

A  man  should  work  eight  hours 
and  sleep  eight  hours,  but  not  at

I  always  wanted  to  know  how

as  one  what?

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.

Buffaloes  Reject 
Charity  Bowl  Bid 

Following  the  game  with  East 
Tennessee  State  College  Coach 
Yancey  received  a  wire  from 
the  chairman  of  the  selection 
committee  of  the  annual  Charity 
Bowl  played  in  Fort  Lauder- 
dale, Florida  on  December  8. 

The  Bowl  is  an  annual  affair 
and  is  sponsered  by  the  Kiw- 
anis  Club  of  Fort  Lauderdale. 

The  Buff  team  met  last  Tues- 
day night  to  consider  the  bid, 
and  a  vote  was  taken  from  the 
members  present.  The  voting 
was  close,  but  since  about  half 
the  team  decided  that  they 
could  not  spare  the  time  from 
their  already  neglected  class- 
work,  Coach  Yancey  made  the 
recommendation  that  the  squad 
refuse  the  bid.  His  suggestion 
was  followed  ,and  the  committee 
in  Fort  Lauderdale  was  inform- 
ed that  the  Buffaloes  had  hung 
up  their  horns  for  the  season 
as  far  as  football  was  concerned. 

elected  John  Vacarro  vice  presi- 
dent; Thelma  Gwin,  secretary; 
Elnora  Holbrook,  treasurer  and 
Dolores  Cooke,  reporter.

NOTICE  FROM  BUSINESS  OFFICE 

All  account  must  be  paid  in  full  in  the  Business 
office  before  examinations  may  be  taken.  Examina- 
tions will  be  scheduled  the  week  of  January  16,  1949. 


Here  we  go  again!  This 
time  we  are  going  to  Florida 
by  way  of  South  Carolina 
and  Georgia.  We  will  be 
leaving  with  a  bang  Mon- 
day December  6  and  return 
a  tired  but  happy  lot  on  Dec- 
ember 14.  We  are  happy  to 
have  Miss  Welshimer  to  ac- 
company us  on  our  journey 
this  year.  At  each  of  the 
concerts  she  will  deliver  a 
brief  message  in  the  interest 
of  Milligan  College.  William 
Small,  a  member  of  last  year, 
will  also  be  going  with  us  as 
business  manager. 

We  have  lost  many  of  our 
old  members  but  we  are  proud 
of  our  new  lot  of  freshmen. 
We're  going  to  miss  many  of 
our  most  enthusiastic  troopers 
that  we've  lost  since  the  choir 
began,  such  as  Ronald  Peters, 
Bob  Rhea,  Betty  Ruth  Williams, 
Ed  Griffith,  Grace  Lang,  etc., 
The  itinery    is  as  follows:

TAMPA 

ST.  PETERSBURG 
Please  write  us!     The  address 
will  be    Milligan  College  Choir 
on  Tour,  General  Delivery. 

William  Small  has  announced 
that  in  Jacksonville  we  will 
stop  at  the  Penny  Farms,  and 
at  the  Florida  Christian  Home 
for  the  Aged.  Penny  Farms  is 
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 
fair-play,  with  emphasis  on  Christian  Education. 


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. 


HALF  OF  STUDENTS 
ENTERING  COLLEGE 
NEVER  FINISH 

According  to  a  recent  survey 
conducted  by  Dr.  Archibal  Mac- 
intosh, vice  president  of  Haver- 
ford  College,  more  than  50  per 
cent  of  all  students  who  enter 
colleges  or  universities  drop  out 
before  they  complete  their  col- 
lege careers.  The  highest  mor- 
tality is  in  the  freshman  and 
sophomore  years. 

Dr.  Macintosh  made  a  two- 
year  study  of  655  liberal  arts 
colleges  in  America. 


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. 


CHOIR  MAKES 
SOUTHERN  TOUR 

(Continued  from  Page  One) 
forward  to  this  with  eager 
warmth.  We  haven't  forgotten 
the  beauty  of  Bellingrath  gar- 
dens, in  Mobile,  with  its  Span- 
ish moss  and  flowers  and 
springs,  the  supper  at  the  ele- 
gant home  of  a  millionaire  in 
Butler,  Pa.,  the  Vulcan  in  Birm- 
ingham. Those  who  went  on 
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 
night  there  were  all  colors  of 
faces  seen  by  the  audience — 
that  is,  the  faces  of  those  who 
were  able  to  sing  through  the 
whole  concert.

A  negro  met  an  acquaintance, 
also  colored,  and  was  surprised 
to  see  his  friend  was  wearing 
a  new  suit,  new  hat  and  new 
shoes. 

•  "Hey,  boy,"  he  said,  "how 
come  you  dressed  up  this  way? 
Is  you  got  a  job?" 

"I's  got  somethin'  better'n  any 
job,"  replied  the  other.  "I'se 
got  a  profession." 

"What  is  it?" 

"I'se  a  orator?" 

"What's  a  orator?" 

"Don't  you  know?"  replied  the 
resplendent  one  is  surprise. 
"Well,  I'll  tell  you  what  a  orator 
is.  If  you  was  to  walk  up  to  a 
ordinary  man  and  ask  him  how 
much  two  and  two,  he's  say 
'four',  but  if  you  was  to  ask  one 
of  us  orators  how  much  was  two 
and  two  we'd  say:  When  in 
de  cou'se  of  human  events  it  be- 
comes necessary  to  take  de  num- 
eral of  de  second  denomination 
and  add  it  to  de  figure  two,  I 
says  unto  you,  and  I  says  it 
without  fear  of  successful  con- 
tradiction, dat  de  result  will 
invai'lby  be  four.  Dat's  a 
orator."

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. 


A  junk  yard  near  a  railroad  crossing  displays  this 
ign:  "Go  ahead  and  take  -a  chance — we  will  buy  the 
:ar." 


Chatting  with  an  elderly  colored  woman  who  is 
me  of  the  best-liked  persons  in  her  community,  I  asked: 

."What's  your  formula  for  making  and  keeping 
xiends?" 

We-el,  honey,  dey's  jes'  one  daily  rule  I  follow,"  she 
'eplied,  "I'se  alius  mighty  careful  to  stop,  and  taste  mah 
vords  'fore  I  lets  'em  pass  mah  teeth." 


ClH  A  IP  IE  IL  C  til  ME/ 

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. 


COMPULSORY   CHAPEL 
ATTENDANCE 

A  visitor  to  Coleridge  argued 
vehemently  against  the  religious 
instruction  of  the  young,  and 
declared  his  own  determination 
not  to  "prejudice  his  children  in 
any  form  of  religion,  but  to  al- 
low them  at  maturity  to  choose 
for  themselves. 

Coleridge's  answer  was:  "Why 
prejudice  a  garden  in  favor  of 
flowers  and  fruit?  Why.  not  let 
the  clods  choose  for  themselves 
between  cookleberries  and 
strawberries?"

FRIDAY.  DECEMBER  3.  1948 


THE     STAMPEDE 


PAGE  THREE 


A  Buffalo  Heard 


Louise  Green,  Bob  Griffin  and 
Paul  Semmler  make  a  good 
looking  trio.  Bob  seems  to  have 
the  upper  hand  at  the  present 
time.  We  are  wondering  why 
Paul  came  to  breakfast  with  a 
patch  over  his  eye  Tuesday 
morning. 

There  is  a  group  of  young 
ladies  who  seem  to  enjoy  spend- 
ing a  good  portion  of  their 
time  around  J.  B.  C.  What  could 
the  attraction  be?  Marsha  Dick- 
inson seems  to  know — just  look 
at  the  stars  in  her  eyes. 

Millie  Keeler  is  wondering 
who  threw  the  apple  that  hit  her 
in  the  head  the  other  night.  She 
thought  William  Tell  was  dead. 
Annalee  Harris  has  a  sign 
labeled  "Hands  Off  on  a  certain 
young  gentleman  named  Kuke- 
hart.  Better  watch  out  girls, 
she  means  it! 

From  the  stars  in  the  eyes  of 
several  campus  members,  it 
looks  like  we  can  pronounce 
Thanksgiving  a  real  success,  in 
more  ways  than  one. 

Speaking  of  apples,  Mary 
Perry  couldn't  have  been  apple 
polishing  could  she?  Seems  like 
she  was  seen  on  campus  (and 
off)  with  Miss  Coil's  brother 
John,  Oh!  that  Greek  mark- 
Leslie  Shurgott  has  a  good 
time  in  Pennsylvania,  but  what 
about  Anna  Mae  on  campus- 
Did  we  hear  her  say  she  didn't 
miss  him? 

Advice  to  the  love  lorn  is  be- 
ing given  freely  and  graciously 
(?)  by  Paula  Johnson  to  all  who 
need  help.  She  will  not  dis- 
close the  authority  of  her  know- 
ledge, however. 

Cassanova  Barnes  just  loves 
'em  and  Leaves  "em  cold.  (And 
what  a  trail  he  has.)  The  latest 
flame,  which  still  seems  to  be 
burning  high,  is  Martha  Roe. 

Speaking  of  flames,  Claire 
Elliott  and  George  Dugger  both 
have  a  light  in  their  eyes  lately. 
Thanksgiving  season  brought 
many  visitors  to  the  Milligan 
campus. 

Guests  of  Miss  Wanda  Coil 
were  her  parents,  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Albert  Coil;  four  brothers,  John, 
Keith,  Malcolm,and  Jessie  from 
Avilla,  Indiana;  and  Miss  Vir- 
ginia Esten,  Brookville,  Indiana. 
Dotty  Rose's  parents  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Ray  Gurley,  and  her  bro- 
ther, Ray  Gurley,  Jr.,  from 
Kennywood,  Pennsylvania  spent 
three  days  here. 

Louis  Wilson,  Lexington,  Ken- 
tucky, visited  Ruby  Berryman 
over  the  weekend  before  leaving 
this  week  for  the  South  Pacific. 
Friend  of  Betty  Yarbrough, 
Jc  Brundage,  Atlanta,  Georgia, 
was  at  Milligan  for  a  few  days. 
Grandparents  of  Louise  Green, 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  O.  W.  Roll,  Worth- 
ington,  Ohio,  were  here  to  see 
Louise. 

Wayne  Collier,  Lexington, 
Kentucy,  student  at  Univer- 
sity of  Louisville  Medical  School, 
visited  Joanne  Green. 

Former  Milligan  student.  Mary 
Lou  Ritz,  of  Augusta,  W.  Va., 
was  guest  of  Arlene  Bennett. 

Mrs.  Lee  Harris  and  Pat  Rose 
:ame  from  Camp  Point,  Illinois 
to  be  with  Annalee  Harris  over 
:he  weekend. 

Wonder  why  Jimmy  Webb 
stays  on  the  'phone  in  Pardee 
ibout  four  hours  every  day?

To  Give  Concert 

Professor  E.  Gordon  Warner, 
director  of  the  Milligan  College 
Choir,  announces  that  a  con- 
cert will  be  given  in  the  College 
auditorium,  tonight  at  8  o'clock. 

Composed  of  religious  and 
secular  selections,  the  program 
by  the  choir,  will  represent  the 
greater  part  of  the  reportoire 
to  be  used  on  the  Southern  stat- 
es tour  beginning  December  6 
and  continuing  through  14. 


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.

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. 
(O.  K. — so  it  doesn't  make  sense, 
just  consider  the  source!) 
Til  see  you  in  my  dreams. 
"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.

1948  Football 
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- 
ing stacks  up:

outstanding  last  year  in  the  Buff  offense. 


FOUR  MILLIGAN  SENIORS 
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 
commendable  during  the  entire 
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. 

Back  to  pass  completions, 
Carr,  who  did  most  of  the  Mil- 
ligan passing  this  season  com- 
pleted 18  passes  out  of  29  at- 
tempts for  an  average  of  .630. 
Carr's  best  passing  average  came 
in  the  Middle  Tennessee  State 
game  in  which  he  completed  7 
out  of  8  attempts.  Dugger  was 
on  the  receiving  end  of  four  of 
these  passes.  Frank  Dumis- 
inecz has  a  pass  completed  av- 


the  squad  will  surely  be  felt, 
however  plenty  of  material  is 
on  hand,  and  should  be  groomed 
properly  for  another  great  sea- 
son of  1949. 

Charlie  D'Agata  is  29  years 
old.  He  was  born  in  Maynard, 
Massachusetts.  He  is  married 
and  has  a  three-year-old-daugh-

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.

VOLUME  3 


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.'

Prospects  Good  For 
Basketbal  Season 

Basketball  season  for  the  Buffs 
has  gotten  off  to  a  successful 
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 
Banner  Elk.  The  Buffs  made 
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, 
and  independent  team  from 
Bristol.  Once  again  the  Buffs 
ran  rough-shod  over  their  op- 
ponents, piling  up  a  score  of 
86  to  36- 

That  was  all  the  basketball 
for  the  Buffs  at  home  before 
them  into  Virginia  and  West 
Virginia.  The  Buffs  won  only 
one  of  the  four  games  on  this 
trip  but  showed  great  style  on 
the  floor.

THE      STAMPEDE 


THURSDAY.    DECEMBER     16.     1948 


STAMPEDE 

STAFF 

Published  Every  Two  Weeks  by  Students  of 

MILLIGAN  COLLEGE 

This  edition  of  THE  STAMPEDE  is  edited  and  prepared  by 

'  the  class  in  "Writing  jor  Print"  and:the 

help  of  the  regular  staff. 

POLICY 

To  promote  school  spirit,  good  sportsmanship,  and 
fair-play,  with  emphasis  on  Christian  Education. 

LET  NOTHING  US  DISMAY 

Courtesy  of  The  Knoxville  News- Sentinel 
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. 


Language  Required  Letter  to  the  Editor 


Students  at  Colgate  University 
must  now  meet  a  minimum 
foreign  language  requirement 
before  being  promoted  to  the 
junior  class.  They  must  have 
completed  three  years  of  satis- 
factory study  of  a  language  on 
the  high  school  level.  This  new 
requirement  was  approved  by 
the  faculty  "in  view  of  the  im- 
portant role  of  the  United  Stat- 
es in  world  affairs." 


Lift  high  your  hope,  0  upturned  world 
While  Christian  voices  sing! 

For  unto  God  a  Son  is  born 
And  unto  us — a  King! 


"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?

Miss   Beverly   Moore 
Editor,    THE   STAMPEDE 
Milligan  College,  Term. 

Dear  Miss  Moore, 

I  have  before  me  the  Decem- 
ber third  issue  of  THE  STAM- 
PEDE. Its  three  hundred  inches 
of  print  have  been  read  and 
re-read,  everything  from  the 
date-line  to  the  last  line — meat, 
hash,  filler  and  all!  Each  par- 
agraph transposed  me  beyond 
the  place  where  the  Monoga- 
hela  and  the  Allegheny  meet  to 
the  banks  and  campus  slopes 
of  Buffalo  Creek. 

Allow  me  to  commend  you, 
your  staff  and  the  students  of 
Milligan  for  the  time  and  effort 
spent  and  the  worthwhile  re- 
sults attained  in  printing  your 
school  paper.  It  was  great 
reading  and  I  ftrust  that 
others  equally  good  will  follow 
throughout  the  year. 

Sinceriously, 
ROB  RHEA 
Eidtor,  '47-'48.

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-

THE     STAMPEDE 


THURSDAY,    DECEMBER    1G,    1948 


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.

A  hungry  dog  once  wandered 

Into  a  butcher's  store; 
The  butcher  threw  some  sausage 

To  the  dog  upon  the  floor. 

The  butcher  said,  "Now  eat  it." 
The  dog  said,  "I  decline, 

For  in  that  link  of  sausage 
Is  that  Old  Gal  of  Mine!'

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.

4iss  Ellen  Crawford 
Jew  Nurse  On  Campus 

Our  campus  nurse,  Miss  Ellen 
ane  Crawford,  comes  to  us 
:om  this  semester  from  Mars, 
'a.  Miss  Crawford  was  gradu- 
led  from  the  Homestead  Hospi- 
il  School  of  Nursing  in  Septem- 
er,  1948.  and  after  grauation 
ontinued  her  employment  in 
le  Hospital. 

While  at  Milligan,  Miss  Craw- 
ard  also  is  taking  some  work 
:>r  her  bachelor  of  arts  degree, 
he  is  majoring  in  Biology, 
he  also  is  a  member  of  the 
iiking  Club. 


're-Med  Banquet 
I  Be  Held  May  7 

The  annual  banquet  of  the 
re-Med  Club  will  be  held  May 

in  the  John  Sevier  Hotel,  it 
as  decided  at  the  last  club 
.eeting    February    3. 

Miss  Ellen  Jane  Crawford,  our 
?w  school  nurse,  was  speaker 
'.  the  regular  meeting.  Nelta 
yder  was.  named  treasurer  of 
,ie  club  succeeding  Paul  Semm- 
r,  Louise  Green  and  Bob 
riffin  are  in  charge  of  the 
ub's  part  of  the  VALENTINE 
'ARTY. 

The  club  also  announces  the 
•inual  marriage  lectures  will  be 
•\d  again  this  spring. 


A  Buffalo  Heard . . 

The  new  semester  instigated 
more  than  a  few  changes  on 
campus — wrought  havoc  with 
some  hearts  and  brought  joy  to 
others — 

Millie  Combs,  on  the  other 
hand,  doesn't  look  TOO  happy 
these  days.  Could  be  she  mis- 
ses Frank  Brogden,  who  left  us 
to  return  to  Tusculum  this 
semester. 

And  George  Dugger's  heart 
is  way  up  north  in  Michigan 
with  Claire. 

Miss  Marie  Smith  was  seen  in 
Johnson  City  Saturday  night 
clinging  possessively  to  a  male 
arm  that  didn't  belong  to  Roy 
Hampton.  And  we  didn't  even 
know  there  was  a  rift  there. 

T.  P.,  why  those  cute  green 
sweaters  and  bow  ties  that  you 
all  appeared  in  a  couple  of  days 
ago? 

Pretty  cheerleader  Joan 
Thompson  is  seen  around  these 
days  with  Shorty  Middleton. 

A  general  mix-up  has  thrown 
Mattie  and  Pavelis  together 
again,  not  to  mention  Fred  and 
Mo,  who  are  seen  together  like 
coffee  and  cake. 

Would  anyone  care  to  define 
the  expression  on  Sid  Hath- 
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? 


Future  Chapel 
Programs  Outlined 
By  Dean  Salhi 

Through  the  courtesy  of  Dean 
Salhi's  office,  we  are  able  to  give 
you  a  preview  of  the  coming 
Chapel  programs  for  the  next 
several  weeks.  These  programs 
have  been  carefully  selected 
and  prepared  to  give  you  the 
best  Chapel  services  possible. 
Those  participating  in  the  pro- 
grams spend  valuable  time 
bringing  to  the  student  body 
their  message.  It  is  expedient 
that  the  _students  give  our  visi- 
tors and  guest  speakers  the 
courtesy  due  them.  Let's  be- 
gin this  co-operation  campaign 
right   now.     Shall  we?

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.

Five  New  Members 
Initiated  Into  Club 

Hardin  Hall  was  the  scene  of 
a  gala  affair  which  marked  the 
initiation  of  five  new  members 
into  the  Hiking  Club  last  Tues- 
day evening.  Following  the 
regular  monthly  business  meet- 
ing of  the  club,  a  social  hour 
was  enjoyed  by  both  new  and 
old  members.  The  initiation 
committee,  headed  by  Ralph 
Derting,  introduced  the  candi- 
dates for  initiation.  They  were 
John  Surcey,  Paul  Conkin,  Bob 
Van  Lew,  Ellen  Crawford,  and 
Jinny  Synder. 


"LAB-BLAB" 

This  romance  rose  in  a  bakery. 

He:  "I  don't  have  much  dough, 
but  will  you  marry  me" 

She:  "All  you  do  is  loaf,  but 
if  you'll  make  a  roll  I'll  think 
about"  it". 

He:  "You  aren't  well  bread  or 
you  wouldn't  say  that." 

She:  "You  haven't  had  much 
raisin  either,  sir." 

He:  "If  you  knew  well  icing 
you'd  love  me  more." 

She:  "I  do-nut  care  because 
you're  not  the  bun  for  me.  I 
was  thinking  of  meringue  som- 
ene  else  so  I  can  get  pie  with- 
out you." 

He:  "This  is  no  wafer  you  to 
do.    I'll  get  oven  with  you." 


The  wise  man  must  be    wise 
before,  not  after   the   event. 


Better    is  a  little    well    kept, 
than  a  great  deal  forgotten.

SERVICE   SEEKERS 

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.

On  February  14th

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 
11,  Cumberland  University  in

.  Bennie:  Tell  me,  Kermit, 
how  do  you  manage  to  walk 
right  past  people  and  never  be

Ruby:  (After  refusing  a  cup 
of  strong  coffee)  I  never  drink 
anything  stronger  than  pop. 

Marcie:  Yeah,  but  what  does 
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 

Austin  Peay  wins  U.  S.  A.  C. 
by  defeating  L.  M.  U.  by  two 
points  in  the  final  game.

the  season  with  7  wins  and  1 
loss  and  had  been  ceded  the  No.

three  games.  They  defeated 
Cumberland  85-55;  Union  91-71; 
and  lost  to  L.  M.  U.  68-64.  Mil- 
ligan had  defeated  each  team  in 
the  tournament  during  the  re- 
gular season. 

MLUigan's  conference  record 
during  the  season  showed  4 
wins  against  4  losses  for  a  per- 
:entage  of  .500.

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.

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.

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

Sal:     "She's   just    stealing    my    msn    away!      I    wish    I    had 

more  oomph." 

Sue:     ,cYou'd  be  WELSHIMER  to  .nine,  but  I'm  SAHLI,  I 

don't  have  any." 

Sal:     "She  just  BURNS  me  up!     Let  SPRAKER  leg  and  do 

it  up  BROWN." 

Sue:     "But  can't  we  figure  out  a  way  .'or  you  to  catch  him?" 
Sal:     "MYNATT'S  not  very  good  whej  it  comes  to  fishing 

for  men." 

Sue:     "BOY!  ADJIS  kiddin'  about  that!     LEWIS  going,  you 

could  go  with  him!" 

Sal:     "YANCY  going  with  us  tonight?" 

Sue:     "Nah,  no  MOORE  of  that  stuff  for  me!" 


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.

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.

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. 


Dining  Hall  Jabber 

In  case  you  hear  a  lot  of 
unfamiliar  "jabbering  in.  the 
dining  hall  at  noon  on  Wednes- 
days don't  be  too  alarmed;  The

all.  Anyone  who  wants  to  try 
his  Spanish  is  welcome  to  the 
"Mesa  Espanola".  If  you  don't 
know  how  to  say,  "Pass  the

angles. 

Have  you  noticed  the  mail-

grit  salesman,  textile  engineer, 
and — oh,  well,  ask  him!

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-

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.

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.

That  Rugged  Rut 

The  state  librarian  of  Maine,  Henry  E.  Diinnack,  gives 
rules  by  which  you  may  judge  whether  you  are  in  a  rut: 


"L"    i/——    "*«j     juugi,     »vucuici     jvu.    aic    ill    it    1UI, 

Have  you  had  a  new  idea  in  the  last  six  months? 

Have  you  done  anything  in  a  new  way? 

Are  you  afraid  of  responsibility? 

Are  you  tired  of  your  job? 

Have  you  read  an  important  book  recently? 

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. 

— Dale  Wimbro. 


There  are  those  in  every  community  who  would  rather

Did  you  hear  about  the  little  Its  easy  to  spot  the  well-train-

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.

tions were  given  to  all  seniors 
April  13  and  14. 

The  Profile  Tests  of  the  ex- 
amination cover  broadly  the 
principle  subjects  of  a  liberal 
education.  There  are  eight 
general  tests  in  the  series:  ma- 
thematics, physics,  chemistry, 
biological  science,  social  studies, 
literature,  fine  arts,  and  a  gen- 
eral vocabulary  test.  In  addi- 
tion to  these  general  tests,  there 
is  an  dvanced  Test  in  the  stud- 
ent's major  field  of  study.  There 
are  now  twenty  available  fields 
of  testing:  agriculture,  biology, 
chemistry,  economics,  education, 
engineering,  fine  arts,  French, 
German,  geology,  government, 
history,  home  economics,  liter- 
ature, mathematics,  philosophy, 
physics,  psychology,  sociology, 
and  Spanish. 

These  tests  have  become  so 
valid  that  many  graduate  and 
professional  schools  require 
them  for  entrance. 


Summer  School 
Curriculum  Announced 

The  accelerated  language  pro- 
grams are  giving  the  student  an 
opportunity  to  complete  one 
course  of  French  or  Spanish  in 
six  weeks.  A  native  Cuban  will 
join  the  summer-term  faculty 
to  tach  beginning  Spanish.  Pro- 
fessor Boyadjis  will  teach  the 
intermediate  French  program. 
The  student  will  be  permitted  to 
carry  only  the  language  course 
during  the  sumer  term. 

Two  new  subjects,  World  Lit- 
erature and  Pastoral  Counciling, 
have  been  added  to  the  curricu- 
lum. The  religion  courses  have 
not  yet  been  decided.  The  sche-

GOSPEL  TEAMS  GO  OUT 

On  April  9  a  gospel  team  went 
to  Huntington,  West  Virginia, 
to  the  Central  Christian  Church 
where  Joe  Garshaw  is  the  min- 
ister. Members  of  the  group 
were  Joe  Crain  and  Joe  Suther- 
land as  the  speakers;  Joan 
Spratt,  who  gave  a  dramatic 
Christian  reading;  and  Betty 
Yarbrough,  who  was  in  charge 
of  the  devotions.  Miss  Mildred 
Welshimer  accompained  the 
group  and  also  spoke  during  the 
day. 

On  April  16  another  group  will 
go  to  Columbus,  Ohio,  to  the 
Indianola  Church.  Members  of 
the  group  will  be  Marshall 
Leggett,  Joe  Sutherland,  Joe 
Crain,  and  Dolores  Cooke.  Miss

college  choir.  Further  details

Harold  Klobbermeyer 

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 
for  all  those  outside  of  the  college. 


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

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. 


A  Buffalo  Heard . . 

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 
hear! 

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 
the  sparkle  in  the  eyes  of  the 
freshman  at  Happy  Valley  .it's 
"Don  Juan"  Griz.

My  dog  presented  me  today 
With  just  one  little  flea. 

He  missed  it  not  at  all,  but  oh — 
The  difference  to  me! 


Dottie:      Get    up,    Dave,    the

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

"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-

I'll  call  my  dog." 


J.  A.  Beeler — "Where  did  you

Bill  Beeler— "I  just  found  it. 
Some  careless  person'  left  it. by

"What's  the  matter  with  you?" 
demanded  the  parent. 

Willie  stifled  a  sob. 

"I've  just  had  a  terrible  scene 

ith  your  wife,"  he  said. 


The  things  we  do  are  our  loud 
speakers. 


The   optomist   fell   ten  stories 

at  each  window-bar 
He  shouted  to  his  friends: 
"All  right  so  far!"

MILLIGAN  STUDENTS

ed the  girls. 

Milligan  was  well  represented 
in  the  demonstrations  held  Sat- 
urday afternoon.  "The  Irish 
Lilt,"  a  clog  number,  was  de- 
monstrated by  Anna  Von  Can- 
non, Gwen  Thomas,  and  Ruth 
O'Neill.  A  Mexican  folk  rhythm, 
"La  Raspa,"  was  demonstrated 
by  Anna  Von  Cannon  and  Gwen 
Thomas.  All  the  girls  partici-

"American  Schottische."  Miss 
Janet  Catlett  was  the  piano  ac-

Crowd  Expected  For 
Student-Faculty  Game 

The  Milligan  College  Faculty. 
after  such  a  strong  showing 
against  the  Intramural  basket- 
ball champs,  has  decided  to  try 
their  luck  against  the  Intra- 
mural Volley  ball  Champs. 
At  this  date  the  champs  are 
not  known.  Its  a  toss  up  be- 
tween the  Sexy  Six  Setters  and 
the  Third  Floor  Cheek  Team. 
The  faculty  is  expected  to  turn 
out  in  full  force. 

With  such  standouts  as  Coach 
Spraker,  Prof.  Oakes,  Prof.  Sisk, 
Coach  Brown,  Dean  Sahli,  Coach 
Yancey  Prof.  Hargraves  and 
Prof.  Boyadjis,  the  Intramural 
champs  are  in  for  a  rough  time 
on  April  21st.  The  faculty  play- 
ers are  fast  and  agile,  moving 
over  the  court  with  cat  like 
ability,  and  spiking  and  setting 
up  the  ball  with  ease. 

Two  faculty  members  have 
already  proved  their  worth  in 
intramural  games,  Coach  Yancey 
and  Coach  Spraker,  who  incid- 
ently  has  overcome  his  greatest 
difficulty  with  a  trim  pair  of 
sweat  pants. 

A  large  crowd  was  present  at 
the  last  exhibition  of  Faculty 
vs.  the  Student  Body  and  an 
even  larger  crowd  is  expected  at 
this  thrilling  game.  Don't  for- 
get APRIL  21st.

contact  Mr.  Brown.  It  is  hoped

upper  classmen  and  the  fresh- 
men. A  rope  will  be  placed 
across  the  creek  and  the  groups 
will  be  on  each  side  trying  to 
pull  the  other  across  the  creek. 


Clergymen  are  like  brakemen, 
because  they  do  a  great  deal 
of  coupling. 


LAMENT 
I've  painted  on  my  heart,  my 
friends. 

A  target,  not  tog  narrow; 
And  yet,  my  dears,  in  spite  of 
tears, 
No — one  will  waste  an  arrow. 


Milligan  Swimmers 
Make  Good  Records 

Three  Milligan  College  swim- 
mers were  among  those  placing 
near  the  top  in  an  invitational 
swimming  meet  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Tennessee  Saturday  April 
2.  Tennessee  won  the  meet  with 
31  points. 

Del  Ossman  finished  third  in 
the  150  yard  backstroke  and 
fourth  in  the  50-yard  free  style 
events.  Kirby  Laughlin  emerg- 
ed fourth  in  the  100  yard  free 
style,  while  Bob  Lacey  captured 
sixth  place  in  the  50-yard  free 
style  event. 


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.

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.

DR.  MOORE  SPEAKS 
TO  PRE-MEDS 

The  Pre-Med  Club  enjoyed  an 
outing  Tuesday  night,  April  19, 
at  the  Laurels.  Members  and 
their  guests  ate  hot  dogs,  with 
plenty  of  cokes,  marshmellows, 
and  cookies-  Miss  Marie  Smith, 
as  chaperone  of  the  grouD,  add- 
ed much  to  the  gaiety  of  the 
occasion. 

Dr.  H.  L.  Moore,  young  John- 
son City  dentist  spoke  to  the 
Club  at  their  regular  meeting  on 
Thursday  evening,  April  21. 
Dentistry,  medicine,  and  the 
allied  professions  were  discus- 
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.

Strolling  through  the  corridors

will  easily  be  directed  to  a 
variety  of  door  plakards.  These 
posters  go  to  make  up  a  strik-

from  the  simple  "Welcome"  to 
the  elaborately  hand-lettered 
pieces  of  art  bearing  talented  de- 
sign and  interesting  message- 
Some  are  scrawled  in  pencil, 
omated  with  ink  splotches,

Milligan  Students 
Present  Program 
At  Erwin  H.  S. 

A  group  of  Milligan  students, 
accompanied  by  Miss  Gretchen 
Smith,  entertained  the  students 
of  Erwin  High  School  with  a 
musical  program  on  April  21. 

Peggy  Young  acted  as  mistress 
of  ceremonies.  Devotions  were 
led  by  Bill  Rodefer.  Dorothy 
Hendershot  and  Marsha  Dickin- 
son presented  several  instrumen- 
tal numbers.  Vocal  numbers 
were  rendered  by  Cayita  Pagan, 
Doris  Arana,  Nydia  Ballester, 
Joaquin  Segarra,  and  Leroy 
Wright  Miss  Smith  spoke  to  the

valuable  facts  about  reptiles  of 
North  America.  The  lecture  was 
illustrated  with  an  exhibit  of 
fifteen  live  specimens.  Mr.  Ray- 
mond is  a  favorite  personality 
with  thousands  of  audiences. 


Faculty  Club  Entertains 
Graduating  Seniors 

Members  of  the  graduating 
class  were  entertained  Wednes- 
day evening  with  a  formal  re- 
ception given  by  the  Faculty 
Club.  The  parlors  of  Hardin 
Hall  were  beautifully  decorated 
with  lilacs  and  dogwood.  Re- 
freshments, in  keeping  with  the 
theme  of  spring  flowers,  were 
served  by  the  freshman  girls. 
An  interesting  musical  program 
was  presented  by  Professor  and 
Mrs.  E  Gordon  Warner  and  son, 
Gordon,  Jr. 

Miss  Ivor  Jones,  chairman  of 
the  social  committee  of  the 
Faculty  Club,  served  as  general 
chairman  for  the  occasion.  Other 
committees  were  as  follows: 
Miss  Mary  Jane  Larison,  dec- 
orations: Miss  Wanda  Lee  Coil, 
refreshments;  Mrs.  E  Gordon 
Warner,  music:  and  Mrs.  Frank 
Spraker,   invitations, 

A  delightful  time  was  enjoyed 
by  all. 


The  church  was  especially 
glad  to  welcome  Dean  Sahli,  a 
former  member,  who  spoke 
briefly  in  the  evening.  Miss 
Welsh  imer  had  charge  of  the 
program.  Dolores  Cook,  Mar- 
shall Leggett,  and  Joe  Crain 
spoke.  Tom  Archibald  sang  two 
solos.  The  high  point  of  the 
service  came  when  Joe  Crain 
extended  the  invitation  and 
two  young  women  ramp  for- 
ward to  accept  Christ  Both 
said  they  had  been  thinking 
about  it  for  a  long  time,  but 
kept  putting  off  making  a  de- 
cision. After  hearing  the  team, 
they  said  they  could  wait  no 
longer. 

The  church  gave  one  hundred 
dollars  for  the  work  of  the  gospel 
teams  and  presented  each  mem- 
ber of  the  team  with  a  personal 
gift  of  five  dollars. 

The  church  wants  another 
team  to  come  in  the  fall.  As  a 
result  of  the  trip,  several  young 
people  will  be  attending  Mil- 
ligan.

thousand  people  registered  dur- 
ing the  convention  with  about 
750  at  the  largest  session.

mosphere dominating  the  fellow- 
ship. It  was  decided  that  there 
would  be  another  Southern

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, 
tablet-     Part-time  work  at  the

Que  fiesta  mas  grande!  The 
walls  still  reverberate  with  ex- 
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. 

Thanks  go  to  Quin  for  the 
attractive  posters  and  drawings 
at  the  party*. 

Lunch  at  the  Spanish  table  -at 
noon  put  everyone  in  the  spirit.

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: 
••Just  call  me  Bootiel"     Humm  .  .  .  -  - 

This  guy  "HANK"  is  what  is  commonly  known  as  a  "1316011". 
He  graduated .  from  high  school  as  valedictorian,  and  has  made 
only  two  B's  to  marr  his  all  A  record  in 
college-  And  with  a  major  in  chemistry  and 
a  full  load  in  teaching  on  the  side,  that's 
sumpin'I  Henry  Clay  Evans,  Jr.,  has  been 
in  the  Pre-Med  Club,  and  his  hobbies  are 
photography,  tennis,  and  personal  lab  work- 
He  said  to  be  sure  to  mention  his  three  Army 
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, 
■for  a  while,  anyway."  After  that — welL  we 
snaii  iet  your  imagination,  dear  reader,  take  over  at  that  parti- 
cular point 

From  the  way  this  feller  talks,  he's  principally  a  sportsman- 
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 

major  from   Norton,   Virginia,    and   she's   gonna'   teach   if    after 

graduation-

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 
and  produced  light  for  the  land. 
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. 


Elizabethton 
Locals  vs.  Milligan 

The  Milligan  College  Buffs 
overran  the  Betsy  Locals  by  a 
score  of  11-0  April  14  in  an  ex- 
hibition game  at  Cherokee  Park. 

Claude  Holsclaw  was  on  the 
mound  for  the  Buffs  and  only

base. 

Milligan  got  busy  in  the  second 
inning  and  .knocked  in  six  runs 
Sam  Pridon  slammed  a  long  one 
that  was  good  for  a  complete  cir- 
cuit which  traveled  a  distance 
of  over  375  feet. 


State  vs.  Milligan 

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

Jack  Vest  the  pitcher  for  State 
never  allowed  more  than  one 
hit  in  any  inning  and  to  top 
it  off,  fanned  thirteen  Milligan 
batters. 

Pardue  was  knocked  out  of 
the  box  in  the  second  inning 
when  State  hit  him  for  three 
runs  on  two  hits. 

Claude  Wallin,  centerfield  for 
the  Bucs  led  the  Buc  attack 
with  with  two  singles  and  a 
double.  The  big  blow  of  the 
game  was  a  homer  by  second 
baseman  "Poss"  Dease.

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

Gospel  Teams 
Will  Represent 
College  This  Year 

(Continued  from  Page  One) 
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.

Browsing  In  The  Library 

The  library  afforded  a  place 
to  pass  some  time.  Fingers  were 
soon  smudged,  as  ancient  vol- 
umes were  dragged  from  the 
shelves.  Perhaps  this  was  the 
first  time  in  years  they  had 
been  removed.  The  publication 
notes  revealed  dates  which 
would  fit  these  literary  works 
for  a  museum  rather  than  a 
bibliotheca.     The  list  amounted

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 
the  first  full  graduating  group

of  1945.

THE     STAMPEDE 


TUESDAE,  OCTOBER  11.  1949 


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 
Kyman  Grindstaff;  Centers,  Cliff  iWnters  and  Henry  Bernat. 
The  backs  are  George  Dugger,  Dick  Kennedy,  Jack  Bible,  J. 
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.

KILLER  DRILLER 

I  went  to  a  neighbor's  to  borrow 

a  tool, 
A  brace  and  a  bit  to  be  sure. 
The  neighbor  I  guess  thought  me 

quite  a  fool, 
But  to  me  it  didn't  accure.  # 

For  I  was  drilling  holes  in  some 

limburger   cheese 
And    belive    me    it    needed    it 

badly. 
When    I    asked    if    he'd    kindly 

help  me  please 
He  said  he  would  do  it  gladly. 

Yes,  he  said  he  would  give  me 
a  hand, 

Although  he  didn't  quite  under- 
stand. 

But  to  keep  matters  from  get- 
ting worse 

Lr  told  him  I'd  explain  in  this 
*Sl    very  last  verse. 

It's  like  having  a  low  tire — 
you  fill  it  with  air. 

And  that's  what  they  call  in- 
flation. 

Well,  it's  Swiss  cheese  that  has 
all  the  holes, 

But  limburger  that  needs  venti- 
lation.

Orchestra 
Is  In  Making 

For  the  first  time  in  years,  an 
attempt  is  being  made  to  form 
an  orchestra  at  Milligan.  Direct- 
ed by  Mrs.  E.  Gordon  Warner, 
the  organization  will  seek  to 
provide  opportunity  for  those 
who  played  instruments  prior  to 
coming  here,  to  continue  in  en- 
semble playing  at  Milligan. 

Mrs.  Warner  states  that  the 
musical  group  is  making  plans 
to  provide  entertainment  for 
various  activities  of  the  college. 

Two  rehearsals  have  been  held 
since  the  formation  of  the  group 
three  weeks  ago.  Attendance 
has  been  small,  the  director  re- 
ports. "More  players  are  need- 
ed, if  the  orchestra  is  to  be  a 
success,"   Mrs.   Warner  said. 

The  playing  organization  ex- 
pects to  produce  a  repertoire  of 
light  marches,  waltzes,  mazur- 
kas, and  other  types  of  musical

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 
lies 

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. 


Robert  Milligan 
Versatile  Educator, 
Prolific  Writer 

(Continued  From  Page  One) 
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.

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 


'Their  Finest  Hour' 
Shown  In  Library 

(Continued  From  Page  One) 
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'."

THE     STAMPEDE 


PAGE  THREE 


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!

Along  The  Way 

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."

heaved  along  the  way  to  Gat-

the  Smokies  Park,  largest  single 
mass  of  land  for  recreational 
purposes  in  the  country. 

A  few  miles  further  into  the 
recesses  of  the  scenic  wonder- 
land, we  tried  our  luck  at  creek 
splashing  and  mountain  climb-

Wednesday.    November   2,    1949 


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.

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

The  student  government,  composed  of  a  twelve-member  com- 
mittee, is  functioning  effectively  for  the  second  year  at  Milligan. 
For  this  government  the  representation  is  elected  separately  from 
among    the    men    and    women.  " 

There    is    an    equal    number    of 
both  sexes. 

Regular  separate  meetings  are

combine  to  form  the  Student 
Council.  The  Academic  Dean 
and  the  Dean  of  Women  serve 
as  advisors. 

This  organization,  first  cre- 
ated in  1948,  is  designed  to  give 
official  representation  and  to 
promote  student  welfare.

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).

teen Milligan  students  to  rou-

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. 

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.

on  the  evening  of  21  November. 

Robert  Chase  was  master  of 
ceremonies,  in  a  program  of  en- 
tertainment directed  by  Peggy 
Young.  The  College  Male  Quar- 
tet appeared  on  the  program, 
along  with  several  members  of 
the  service  group  and  some  fac-

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.

Pre-Meds 
Inspected 
Laboratories 

Members  of  the  Pre-Med  Club 
here  went  to  Bristol,  Virginia, 
November  10,  toured  the  S.  E. 
Massengill  Company,  as  a  part 
of  the  planned  activities  of  that 
group  during  the  current  year. 
The  students  observed  the  man- 
ufacturing processes  of  pharma- 
ceuticals in  this  company,  one 
of  the  world's  largest  producers 
of  drugs  and  medicinals. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Joe  Hardwick. 
former  Milligan  students,  serv- 
ed as  hosts  to  the  group.  Mrs. 
Hardwick  is  the  former  Aline 
Hyder.  Mr.  Hardwick  is  in 
charge  of  the  vitamin  assays  in 
the  control  laboratories.  In  the 
research  department,  the  visi- 
tors were  told  how  experiments 
are  made  on  animals  to  deter- 
mine the  reaction  from  new 
drugs.  Many  new  products  are 
developed  each  year  by  the  in- 
vestigation of  the  chemists  in 
the  research  department,  it  was 
learned. 

The  Massengill  Company  pro- 
duces pharmaceuticals  in  the 
form  of  tablet,  capsule,  powder, 
ampule,  liquid,  and  ointment.  It 
has  been  in  the  news  lately  for 
the  production  of  a  new  "won- 
der" drug,  using  Semikon  for 
the  treatment  of  common  colds.

THE     STAMPEDE 


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-

anticipates  a  fuller  life  of  serv-

himself  for  this  worthwhile 
charge,  Floyd  Peddy  plans  to

has  indicated  his  preference  for 
Milligan.  He  will  enroll  for 
courses  in  child  psychology  and

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.

God's  mercies,  will  be  presented 
in  the  auditorium. 

Ohioan  Will  Speak 

Paul  Jones,  minister  to  the 
Church  of  Christ,  Hillsboro,

Christmas  Vacation  Dates 
Unchanged 

The  cessation  of  class  work 
for  Thanksgiving  Day  will  not 
affect  the  dates  set  for  the 
Christmas  vacation,  Dean  Don- 
ald Sahli  points  out.  The  fif- 
teen days  of  Christmas  leave  is 
marked  from  Tuesday,  Decem- 
ber 20,  4:30  P.  M.,  to  8:00  A.  M., 
January  4.  1950. 


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

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 
the  first  time  under  Coach 
Olds. 

Promising  candidates  who  are 
being  closely  watched  by  Coach 
Olds  are  Miller,  who  hails  from 
Honaker  and  is  a  freshman,  Mc- 
Mullen  another  freshman  hail- 
ing from  W.  Va.,  T.  P.  Jones, 
a  product  of  Wm.  and  Mary  and 
Radford.  Henry  Wright,  a  se- 
nior,  Bill  Woodward,  Ray 
Forbes,  Kirby  Laughlin  and  last 
year's  „"B"  .captain  _.Michael

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.
